And nope... the bedbugs are back!

I had almost all unpacked an quietly placed all back in its place when the bedbugs returnent.
Hard to work on paper or keyboard if all 4 years they get out of there from there and stings us.  Also to maintain orthopedics and handcrafted costumes that requires delicate maintenance in those conditions.
It makes me practically a hobo at home because I cannot unpack anything in my own, yet invaded, dwelling.
I hope that I will not loose my talent as my health from here to the time they will be eradicated.
Merry Belated Christmas and Happy New Year.
Make peace and take care of one anothers.

Things in life starts to get toghether butI am slowed down.

Hi everyone,
Since last year -even 2015- the organizing around that would allow me to get back on my feet when a trouble do not wait for the next is not obvious; repairs and health are in the way but it is something we can't live without in this world.

However, I didn't forgot about Tiger and the Lion and as soon as my health and comphyness are better, I plan to publish more pages.

Thank-you for your patience.

I'm still out there and hopefully improving.

Strangely enough, the bedbugs are out but roaches invaded our block!

Many traumas, on the computer also.  The health of my felines worries me also and often I put my second prototype in service to feed and care for them.

I put my prototypes in services for special occasions and as vulunteer for two local charities that are dear to my heart.  It would be a good idea to soon make a page for each of them.

Meanwhile Icould fix some parts and improve others on the prototype.  Unfortunately Copper seems to be in need for major repairs.

Here is an image of P2 after her last outing.

Just on time for Montreal's 350th anniversary.

Bedgugs!

Sorry, I couldn't chronicle to you the latest adventures of my prototype since September 2014.

And it wasn't the will that was not allowing me to do so!

As I typed it in another blog;

I want to apologize for the long period without post.  My apartment block is plagued with vermin theses two last year.  And, unfortunately bedbugs have moved in my apartment since last September!

Folks who knows how I do work and the nature of theses blood suckers, knows that they can hide in textiles, wood, cracks and...  papers! Sadly for me -and you I guess-, I'm out of my schedule since end September 2014. 

I plan (...) (edit; to soon resume my activities) within the year as soon as the treatments are finals so I don't cross infect anyone.  My lab is now really a mess throughout all the apartment because I can't really use any flat surfaces so much or chairs because of the preparation level asked by the extermination company.  So all drawers, pantries, lower shelves had to be packed elsewhere....  I almost sleep on boxes!

Hope to fill you in soon with images and stories!
Take care of yourselves, not just on-line, not just of yourselves!

(PS: Je crois que d'ici un mois et demie, je pourrais poster quelques photos et videos de la Grande Exposition Canadienne Steampunk à Niagara Falls avec quelques surprises.)

The second prototype of the Line is about to do something...

I don't know if it'll be a FAIL or not...  But she is about to do something big!

Despite all prototypes being more or less tried out outside of public sight when they are first powered up, it is estimated that the very first Droïdo (Copper) was first attempted in  ergonomy of hardplate movable features for humans in different medical and work areas, in 2007's testings.

While Copper could also get a facepaint and an autonomous go years after;  because of temperature conditions, and since both P1 and P2 share same mechanically vital component to power on (the line is broken poor!), only one of them is running at events and the soft flexplated second prototype is often grounded since she isn't fully water proof or cold resistant.

Here is a photo-montage of them powered up in different activities.  You have to forgive Copper to have very few as his stunt bot status don't allow him to both appreciate selfies and being recognized in his line of work.

I stretched my exploration of the Droïdo Line and the ones of the Montréal Métro.

It has been a while that I must post something about the Droïdos from the Droïdo.

Also from this winter to this summer, a lot of interesting things happened to the Second Prototype of the line.

In decreasing order, she finally ended up exploring the Montréal's Métro blue line, green and orange and there is left to do for her (if the datas are right) Longueil's Métro and as for Cartier's Métro, get back by foot by the bridge.


Here are some memoirs;

Here a sharing of the Sherbrooke station with an accordionist who loved having P2's company around...  I removed from her memory the Elora name that folks gave her.  A prototype is a prototype until all of its tests are over!  And a funny thing happened... A momentary exchange of hats!



P2 was fortunate here that someone said to her his liking to be filmed and she mimed out all night his themes.  She also learned a bit of his instrument.


Without there being an actual lyre sign, P2 also collaborated to the April's Piggy Bank operation at the Viau station.  Making sure was the same color than the mosaique she had to face all day to well fill her tin can all day.  Not having really in memory who gave me their authorization to reproduce their pictures over the internet, no front pose except for P2 will be served here.  It happends  that by accident, numerous passing travelers gets into her objective.  This is not all totally the case here.  The apron is the same as the black ones, but in white to fit her uniform.


It is sad to not being able to use all the pictures all the time on the net because there was a lot of folks!


Also, P2 now carries all round old personal artistic works in my lunch box.  Here are some samples that are also on deviantART;



 
The good old days where I recycled all my school materials from the CÉGEP!
 
Also, I officially announce that I am attempting to find a way to learn to P2 how to play various easy to carry musical instruments like a synthesizer and a Ukulizard from my very own conception.
 
It glows in the dark; unless than being confused for stars, it doesn't risk to be lost!

Also I started to learn the RPG Maker VX Ace game software -that I own legally for those who would be wondering-.  It is full and not a demo!  I attempted to register P2 into the Ace Academy to learn while having fun the rudiments of RPG Maker VX Ace.  And thought not admitted, here is P2's digitalized version;

Here's the link;
and here is what RPG Maker VX Ace is
I would recommend to buy it from Steam or from Humble Bundle which can also give codes to connect it to Steam.

But, never the less, even if appeared in an amateur sci-fi magazine, and saw in a neighbors party, I plan make P2 do more outings toward many more adventures!  And, besides a videogame adventure, I hope she will bring me more pennies to re-equip (fix) my lab, some transportations, lodging, food and veterinarian fees!

Until then, curiosities admirers...  Take care of yourselves, not just on-line, not just of yourselves.

Oh boy, my second prototype got lost in the MAC!

As usual, I am fusing fiction and reality in here.

But only this time, as I am leaning over stuff on my computer and playing with the Tiger's page, it will be hard to get two paragraph at once to report the latest spectacular mischiefs that you could call also random good deeds that little gynoïd had put on lots of folks.

I will be as short as I can.

Between Montreal en Lumières and March 8's women's day...  Also St-Patty's day, that unnamed bot managed to get food from the subway as well as the best performing spots, hockey teams, tourists, video guy, video girl, best tips and hours, single handedly provoked a flashmob in a Provigo bubble as well as getting chocolate and being offered marshmallow, managed to get shot thrice by the milkmen, get INTO a MAC (Musée d'Art Contemporain -Contemporary Art Museum-) in the middle of the night (at the White Night event -Nuit Blanche-).

 
 
(Here, a series of pictures from the time that she attempted to taw the place. 
in the end it snewed!)
 

Sadly, it is forbidden to take the pictures of her adventures in thoses places where a security guard reacted with screams to a quarter of ton of recycled bronze lady before turning his job as museum conservatory for an hour or two by housing the said bronze burdening statue in a corner before she got lost into the security office again.  There, and into the lounge, she performed static poses and staring contests that she won easily -again- and accidentally scared off a poor young lady.  But she went fine after all, the prototype's guilt chips almost roasted.
 
And don't believe me about the MAC?  Well she managed to film straight when she emerged from it with a lady video maker asking for a favor.
 
I guess that I'll send her a link!

 
 
And a selfie from Prototype 2
 
 
who might think that to ressemble to her spot she ought to connect more orange wires.
 
So 'later all!
Take care, not just on-line, not just of yourselves!
