:I've seen most of those pages already, but thanks for the greeting. — Saric (Talk) 15:34, August 19, 2005 (UTC)

I noticed that you have listed yourself as an atheist Wikipedian. You will probably be interested to know that Brian0918 has nominated Omnipotence paradox as the front page article for December 25th. You can vote on this matter

here. The other suggestion being supported by others for that date is Christmas, although Raul654 has historically been against featuring articles on the same day as their anniversary/holiday. AngryParsley ^{(talk) (contribs)} 08:22, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

:Ooooh, interesting. I'd vote for it (not necessarily for December 25th— there's no reason to antagonize Christians), but somebody seems to have deleted all of the conversation on it. Strange. —Saric (Talk) 02:54, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

I noticed you are categorized as a Wikipedian by alignment. If you are in to userboxes, there are now infoboxes available using a standard template. See the alignment category page for details.

Thank you for pointing that out to me Daykart 23:27, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

:You're welcome. —Saric (Talk) 16:48, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

While correcting the section marked for copyediting in the WindowBlinds article, I came across this sentence:

:For a short time, there was also a scaled-back version called WBLiteFX.

The problem is, it's not clear what WBLiteX is a scaled-back version of. Would you clarify it for me? You made a lot of edits to that article, and you seem pretty knowledgeable about the subject, so whether or not you wrote that particular sentence, I imagine you'd know. —Saric (Talk) 17:10, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

:Sure. I've talked to the developer (we both work for Stardock and he's confirmed that it was a cut-down version of WindowBlinds. I've made an edit to the article. GreenReaper 22:24, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I have deleted May the Force be with you following your request. I have no opinion as to the appropriateness of the move. I put the redirect there in case it is some time before the move is done, but I think that non-admins can move over top of a page that is only a redirect and has never been other than a redirect. If for whatever reason you can't, just let me know and I'll blow it away. --B (talk) 14:25, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Image:Ideal-triangle_hyperbolic_tiling.svg I like it! —Tamfang (talk) 09:16, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

:Thanks! It is pretty rad, isn't it? But man, was it hard to get a formula for the center of the Euclidean circle that contains a given hyperbolic line. I should probably add the formula I used to Wikipedia. Figuring out how to pick the right value for [http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/paths.html#PathDataEllipticalArcCommands the stupid sweep-flag] was also surprisingly rough, though I was able to do it after a lot of experimentation. —Saric (Talk) 13:01, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

:: So far I've done most of [http://bendwavy.org/doodle/#chainmal my own hyperbolic stuff] by 'painting' pixels (whose coordinates I convert to the hyperboloid model) rather than by 'drawing'. How fine did you go with your arcs, here? —Tamfang (talk) 03:31, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

::: Well, because it's a vector image, the arcs are real circular arcs, not rasterized approximations, so they're infinitely fine. Or is it that you want to know how deeply the pattern recurses? Only about six steps; I found that increasing the recursion depth past that doesn't make a visible difference. —Saric (Talk) 13:58, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

:: More of my pixel-painting. —Tamfang (talk) 06:38, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

What do I need to do to fix this Issue.--Dcheagle 02:59, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

: The old list of episode descriptions was copied-and-pasted from elsewhere. Removing it from the page's history involves magic beyond my ken, which we can leave to administrators. If you want to replace it, you could write your own summaries. —Saric (Talk) 03:08, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

::Ok I understand I will begin the rewrite here in a few.--Dcheagle 03:09, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
