April. A month with an oral and an aural.

23rd April 1999

The video didn't work out quite as we imagined, so we might be forced to concede that Our Lessons are uncapturable. Even better (?), the remote control CD-ROM drives look like they'll become a permanent fixture on all new PC's, which is great for us, and anybody else who has 'control'.

The last vestiges of all that is Not KHS will be removed from this site some time in the summer, when it'll probably shift from free but slow Free-Online to another server. The thing is, which one? Geocities force skank watermarks upon you and Xoom stick a whole extra frame at the top. All others only provide a small amount of space (this site is about 10Mb at the moment, but will increase A LOT pretty soon). I'm changing because the current URL is not particularly in the spirit of the EULA, and Free-Online won't let you upload files if you're not using a Free-Online connection. And let's face it: at a thousand times slower, why am I going to connect to FO again after this summer?

Praise the laord.

What is wrong with her? When you see a video camera, don't you just give a detention? And don't you try to stop somebody cutting himself up with a scalpol? And what about hearing a lynx can flamethrower and doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about it except suggesting that he doesn't cause quite so much sabotage and destruction?

More video on the way, anyway.

19th April 1999

Exactly one month after The Beast was defeated in a last minute cane of an electronics project, a french oral shows it's ugly face and gets beaten down to where it belongs. Thank you. It's a bit of a turning point of a day, as in a month, Vinné'll be having his last ever lesson. You can only imagine the fire...

We consider ourselves seasoned pro's with Lab video capture now, and plan to execute a perfect re-shoot of last thursday's anarchy, which we DIDN'T FILM. Remember? The one with the stool joust? Of course you don't. Speaking of complete anarchy, I saw Home Alone again recently and I thought: the true subliminal source of the Sink Fill. But with houses.

Also, did I mention http://megadodo.com? I didn't? It's a site with a whole load of articles on anything ever, written in the style of the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy. They're the ones who thought up that thing about static noise on televisions being Random Dot Stereogram movies. Very good.

Finally, if you have a Creative infra CD-ROM drive, you'll have a credit card remote for it. Guess what? So do the school. Dancing drives can now be done in hardware!

Modifications:
The menu is faster to load now.
About KHS is now a sort of FAQ.
Classic cryptic images are scattered around.
The extended Lynz story is better laid out, and the Clarkkkkson thing has been reworked.

17th April 1999

Video! Our ineptitude was highlighted as we unfortunately forgot to turn off the zoom about five minutes into it, but that was long enough to gain some classic footage. The final cut is just one clip which lasts a minute and is 2Mb in RealVideo format. Pretty good, eh?

Modifications:
A few new kinds of laps on Acrobatics.

15th April 1999

Palmtop computers seem to be the next tool used to annoy the KHS staff. Whoever they might be. Can you imagine a wireless infra red IRC network going around the back of a classroom? It may just be a possibility.

Video Cameras are not the order of the day today, but may well be on Friday. We had the tape, but not the machinery to go around it. And at 300Kb/sec for 640x480 film footage, hard drive space will be scarce for a few months. But it'll all be worth it, hopefully.

A note to teachers (please tell them, as they obviously can't read this, having READ THE EULA AND ALL, eh?) trying to exert control - if you're going to separate Lanx and the Vinster, don't put one of them behind a cupboard where you can't see him and the other BY THE CHEMICAL RACK, BUNSEN BURNERS AND THE HAZCARDS, BOTH AT 90° TO YOUR LINE OF SIGHT!

New sounds are on the way, but DOKstock ßeta never happened. Bah!

Modifications:
The address is now Get.To/KHS, which is much better, as its only 10 characters long, and implies less.

A nice flow chart on the control page.

9th April 1999

Evil Jim in cartoon form, num'sein? I'm in the process of formulating a cunning plan for releasing this site to the world, unencumbered by EULA's and password protected areas. Unfortunately, at the moment they revolve around all of us having left school forever. I don't think there's a better way, unless it involves some sort of slowly filtering down the private sections (and let's face it: they're the ones people are interested in) into the public area. I can only see the EULA getting tighter, but most people are allowed to agree to it, so that's not too bad.

Modifications:
Quite a few... mostly either transparant or too small to mention

6th April 1999

Contradictingly, Dead Magazine lives. But you can't have it until the official launch date, unless you are as we say, privileged.

DOKStock ßeta looks set for this next weekend, and may even feature a little TFC if the PC's are up to it. Speaking of which, since the Half Life SDK is out, bots will be around soon, and since other mods are popping up, Sloshy Software's The Swapper looks useful.

WinUAE 0.8.8 is indeed partially AGA compatible, so I suggest instant downloadage.

And should I say anything? We have a new 'Project'. Anybody seen the Quake console... but for windows?

We have another Indigo bottle! Perfect DOK Lab Juice recreation can commence now! The first two ingredients we had in the other bottle will be transferred to their new home and can begin the long and foul process of becoming a real DOK. On the subject, Matt now has the longest living DOK (it's from the 8th year, i.e. 1995) and it is the roughest smell you've probably smelt ever. Ever.
