02:19 🔗 Coderjoe http://tech.slashdot.org/story/12/11/15/1356235/google-engineers-open-source-book-scanner-design
02:26 🔗 chronomex I saw that, the design is quite interesting
02:40 🔗 Lord_Nigh the local hackerspace around here built a different book scanner using two digicams and a bike brake assembly to hit the triggers
02:40 🔗 Lord_Nigh Honestly i'd ratehr have used two cameras and chdk firmware with electronic usb triggering, much simpler...
02:43 🔗 Coderjoe I have to argue otherwise. the bike brake assembly is simpler, because you don't have to use any specific camras
02:48 🔗 Lord_Nigh yes but it ends up getting misaligned and you might not notice that it missed a picture of one half
02:48 🔗 Lord_Nigh and those bike break things are finicky as hell even on bikes
02:48 🔗 Lord_Nigh *brake
03:05 🔗 chronomex hmm
03:05 🔗 chronomex the google one that slides back and forth though
03:06 🔗 chronomex full-auto
03:17 🔗 Coderjoe it looks like a big meat slicer
03:28 🔗 chronomex yeah
08:21 🔗 SmileyG_ so nice
10:07 🔗 FigaroXXX WWW.JIZZDAY.COM
10:07 🔗 FigaroXXX WWW.JIZZDAY.COM
10:07 🔗 Ymgve damn, is that today? totally forgot!
11:00 🔗 SmileyG opz
11:29 🔗 SmileyG hey you guise
11:29 🔗 SmileyG http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/hackaday/LgoM/~3/ydVII1E8YJ8/
11:30 🔗 SmileyG Googles book scanner blue prints :D
22:55 🔗 ivan` http://support.openfeint.com/dev/openfeint-service-shutdown-and-gree-migration/
22:56 🔗 mistym That's... pretty short notice.
22:58 🔗 mistym I don't see many devs moving over to GREE if this is the kind of developer service they can expect.
23:10 🔗 RedType "December 14, 2012" so many old games are going to die
23:14 🔗 mistym Will games really not function at all without openfeint?
23:15 🔗 Ymgve I would assume the games would still function, if not you'd not be able to use them at all on a non-internet iphone
23:17 🔗 RedType well they're not going to have full functionality
23:18 🔗 RedType die is a bit strong
23:19 🔗 Ymgve I assume most of it is "compare scores with friends" stuff, so not the greatest loss
23:20 🔗 Ymgve and any game that has a significant online component will probably get updated by the devs
