You're not the first to tell me so, but I fail to see it. Yeah, his presentation manners are quite authoritarian, in an old schoolmaster kinda way. Hungover sour grapes from witnessing confrontational tech debates on this forum, perhaps? I could easily imagine that happening with Planters. No...

How did the red dot with lumia bursts seen around three and a half minutes work? Is that the amazing symmetrical quad scan pair turret you built seen producing the tunnel effects?

luciday replied to a thread Looking for manual/serial command set for Lightwave Electronics Xcyte laser in Lasers, All Kinds.

Oh, wow, that’s great to hear! The manual would be fantastic, but just having the software would already help me out a lot. In my case, the issue was with the crystals. The 3rd harmonic generator is external to the cavity, and the first crystal had some damage on the front facet. It’s not...

I was chatting with @TheHermit recently and I mentioned the cool "resonant frequency ringing" effect produced by the G-115 open-loop galvos. I sent him photos I had taken of examples of this, and in the process found they came from digitized video from 16mm film tests I and a cinematographer...

re: Rog's Awaken quote: Yes. First heard it in Starship. Sadly no 352. Being young at the time, I interpreted Master of images to mean the song was directly addressing the laserist. Like how Shakespeare speaks to actors through an actors voice in 'mlet.
