OS-tan theories and disscusion

[Bella]

Let's just say that "Tru64" sounds a heck of a lot more marketable. ^^;
That is quite a history, though,... and makes her an even "closer" distant cousin to the OSX-tans. ^.^

Somehow I think Tru64-tan would be blonde (cause of the Mac relation).

As for System V,... as far as the C-chan is concerned...... ahhhhh,..... wellllll.,............ no. ^___^

I know the reasons, but the same case could be made that kernel release 2.4.x and after could be a totally different Linux-sama. And since things could get very silly very fast under that paradign, better to just explain away those details as a change in fashion, profession or character. (after all, post-Unix War UNIX-sama is a heck of a lot more mature and placid than her former self, and Linux-sama isn't that small, shy, flipper-wearing girl we used to know. ^^'

Thank goodness...we don't need more angry Unix-tans after us O___O

As for Linux-tan, I recently read something like only 2% of the original kernel remains

Well no,.......... but,............. it does kinda have someone that resembles Colonel Hughes in episode 4 (not that that's a good thing, though). ^___^'

BTW, if you do decide to watch it, but you also LOVE bunnies, please close your eyes when Episode 2 starts. ^___________________^;

Uh oh...someone decided to have a rabbit dinner, eh?

*sheds crocodile tears*

Bella-sama,.... i will never forget your sacrifice. ;^_______________^;

*starts trotting coyly the other way*

*trips over FreeBSD-tan's feet*

Ohhhhh..... GAWD, I forgot I made you smart. @_____@;

*gulp sound*

*C-chan vanishes*

While your there, say hi to the headcrabs for me, C-Chan!

Well,... I guess it's not as bad as having Windows run a battleship. ^>^;

Heehee...

Holy crapola! Where are all these ancient, progressive-minded OSes that are crawling out of the woodwork coming from! @o@

I'd love to read both articles on WAITS once I'm done with the rest of my replies, but by GAWD has the past livened up so much in the past couple of months! ^___________^

I assure you that WAITS-tan has lived a life more interesting and colorful than any other OS-tan of her era...

I also assure you that you have never read anything like that first article

Ohohoho! So now the ball falls in Techno's court.
Well, if you repent for some of your past actions I suppose I could find you shelter in the house of Windows...If the great NT-sama allows.

*Steps a bit closer to Bella*
A word of advice..If Emuii makes any food..For the love of all that is holy..
DON'T EAT IT I speak from personal experience..

*Points toward Fchan-tan and a portal*
Or you could see what's behind door number two.

Oh now, I like my NT-sama! She's the smart one!

And faced with a choice between Emuii-chan's home cooking and Effie-chan's portal....

*gulps*

I'll take my chances with diner. Bad cooking can cause sickness than lasts a while...but some things cannot be un-seen O________O

Oooooh Another older OS.
She sounds like quite the character. Can't wait to see her.

Great! I've come up with a few concepts, I'll have to post them soon!

'Til next time. I'm off!

Awww, darn...

*thinks up Techno-trap*

*Oh, Inu-T...!*

Well, if you think about it, the cells in our body die out and get replaced by new ones.  With the exception of some long-lived body components, I'd say only 2% of you is the same Bella-sama from when you were born.  ^________^

Uh oh...someone decided to have a rabbit dinner, eh?

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.........

.............

Well yes and no.........

.......................................

...Just watch it, you'll see.  ^^;

While your there, say hi to the headcrabs for me, C-Chan!

*muffled speech from inside stomach*

Oh yeah, did that and then some!  We're currently playing Texas Hold'em, actually!  ^__^

*headcrabs squeak at C-chan to shut up and keep playing*

I assure you that WAITS-tan has lived a life more interesting and colorful than any other OS-tan of her era...

I also assure you that you have never read anything like that first article

Oh right, just reminded me.... ^^;

*saves article to stick, to read in EeePC*

Hmm, What has happened in my absence?

From what I can tell This topic has fallen into the twilight zone, and C-chan and Bella have decided to anger the Unixes...O.O

*Headcrab B gets Royal Flush and squeaks triumphantly*

GAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!  Tell me about it!  Tis the wrath of the Unix Gods!!!!!!!!!!  ^0^

[Bella]

I just got back from a little birthday party my family threw for me...nothing huge, but I had a great diner and cake

But I gotta confess I feel quite old. Even though I'm not really ^////^

Anyhoo...I've been meaning to post these...



It's WAITS-tan! Or at least the preconcepts. The left is WAITS-tan circa the 60s, the middle is circa the 70s, and on the right....is her at work. Somehow I think WAITS-tan would feel most comfortable working outside, maybe taking in a couple of afternoon drum circles, rather than being shut in an office

Physically, I think she'd have dark blondish hair and dark eyes...I dunno why I think glasses would work well on her...but they seem to fit.



On the left is ITS-tan on her offroad motorbike. I tried to make her look more rugged, with maybe just a bit of an Annie Oakley look. Somehow I think she'd be excellent with a gun (because of ITS's strange security features), though she only uses it in self-defense, and only to warn people not to mess with her T__T

On the right is Honeywell Kitchen Computer-tan. Born in 1969, she was "hailed" as a perfect chef's companion; But the truth is, a computer engineer would be more compatible with her than a cook (as the computer's only way of outputting information was a panel of lights!). She's quite slow-witted, has trouble speaking or listening clearly, her only talent being a fairly good memory. Her skills as a chef are questionable, to say the least.

As none were ever sold, you could theorize she died that very year...but where's the fun in that? Somehow I think she forever lived with the Honeywell-tans, attempting to forcefeed them her atrocious meals (to little avail)

Which brings us to the top of the page...Kitchen Computer-tan showing Multics-sama cake she made (which is still on fire, BTW). Multics-sama replies with "Let them eat cake! Cause I shan't eat that!"
"Them" presumably refers to GCOS-san, or one of her other enemies

Well, if you think about it, the cells in our body die out and get replaced by new ones. With the exception of some long-lived body components, I'd say only 2% of you is the same Bella-sama from when you were born. ^________^

o_o

You just blew my mind....

...and made me feel even older!

*muffled speech from inside stomach*

Oh yeah, did that and then some! We're currently playing Texas Hold'em, actually! ^__^

*headcrabs squeak at C-chan to shut up and keep playing*

XD

Hey, do you see any of my missing paths from my group Vintage-tan Inkscape export? Cause maybe BSD-chan ate 'em while I wasn't looking...

Oh right, just reminded me.... ^^;

*saves article to stick, to read in EeePC*

Once you read that, my design for WAITS-tan will make one heck of a lot more sense

[C-Chan]

What is this I see, but lovely fine wines aged to perfection!!!!!  ^v^

Just enough to make an old pig's heart, swoo-- WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  @0@

Yo-yo-yo-yo-yo-yo-you-your birthday's TODAY?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bu-bubububububub-but..... But I thought you said it was at the and of the month?!!!!!!!!!!    @______________@

OH NO!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT'S NOT READY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  ;^0^;

*C-chan faints*

*yes, that's "faints"*

Added after 2 minutes:

*recovers*

Happy Birthday.... ;________;

Multics-sama:  Let THEM eat cake! Cause I shan't eat that!

*C-chan crawls underneath a rock, and curls into a ball in shame*  X_______X

[Aurora Borealis]

Oh my gosh! You actually did make a Honeywell Kitchen Computer-tan!

And happy birthday, Bella!

[C-Chan]

*keeps curling in shame*

I guess the least I can do is give a brief... albeit shameful review of your latest and greatest.

(I knew it!  C-chan doth sucketh!  Much sucketh doth the C-chan have!  ;^0^; )

I actually read the SAIL article, and I see what you mean.... WOW!  What an excellent job!  Almost makes you want to write a fanfiction.  ^_____^

(reminds self not to EVEN think about it, or else.... ^^; )

One thing that strikes me off the bat about WAITS-sama is the historical accuracy of the hair.  You'd think you plopped her right out of a 60's movie.  ^v^
But yes, her 60's and 70's look gives off an intriguing mixture of retro and classy (or am I being redundant?  sorry, must be the eternal shame ^^; )

I do prefer her profile, though,... she seems so,............ cute and inquisitive.  ^.^

Another thing that strikes me is the prevalence of that oval pattern, on her dress in her 60's look, and in her leggings in her 70's (let's DISCO!) look.  I think it adds that  distinction that really draws her out... but what exactly does it mean?  ^___^

(I bet it's obvious, but I'm too blinded by shame to realize.... woah is the pig and his shame!  ^0^)

Hard to think that this gorgeous young lady was the same one conducting that.... "evening" experiment.  Well, but at least now no one can accuse ME of "shipping".  ^^;

Physically, I think she'd have dark blondish hair and dark eyes...I dunno why I think glasses would work well on her...but they seem to fit.

Glasses fit, yes (for a sophisticated AI, naturally! she'd be like 2K-tan on steroids!  ^.^).  Don't ask me about hair color, though, as I'll propose something pretty far-fetched like teal or lavendar.  Dark blonde should do the trick.  ^__^

Regarding MULTICS-sama....

BWAHAHAHAAHAA!!!!!  That one's a classic!!!!!!!  ^v^
It'd make SOOOOOOOOO much historical sense if the one who ended up getting that cake was UNIX-sama (then again, wrong time period).  

Honeywell Kitchen Computer-tan officially takes the honorary title of earliest Hardware-tan drawn to date.  ^.^

*round of applause*

Simple, 50's homemaker look, but so damn appropriate.  Has a cute porcelin doll face that clearly looks even cuter when she's angry (which judging by her skill, probably happens often).  I reckon her mitts and chef's hat are permanent accessories, no?  ^___^

*stares at ITS-tan*

ZOMG!!!!!!!!!!  PILE-DRIVER SWOON ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!    ^0^

*swoons pile-driver style*

Added after 9 minutes:

I figure it's very easy to please me, but you really took the cake with this one!
(some pun intended, in light of Kitchen-san's presence).  ^^

She transcends the cuteness threshold, into the forbidden realm of hotness.  @v@
Congratulations, you've succeeded in making a Kino-type character look, not only very very very very beautiful and stylish,.... but also,... more importantly,... NOT SHORT!!!  ;^0^;
(although episode 4 sorta/kinda explains why Kino's stunted)

And the bike is definitely of a much older era (and I imagine the gun is too).

While probably not as powerful as her (niece, you said?), I can still see her as a character that probably can't be messed with, even today.  ^___^
And not just cause she can defend herself very well,... but because she might have an ardent cult following ready to tear anything that gets in her way to shreds..

<__<

....

>___>

.......

...........

[whispering]  Myself included....  ^__~

No but seriously, you did a fantastic job!  ^v^
Makes the shame of my no-show birthday present burn all the more,..... "shamier".  ^^;

*curls into ball in shame*

You just blew my mind....

...and made me feel even older!

BAH!  I thought you said you were a young pup.  ^___^
Practically a full-blown adult,.... if you lived in Canada.  ^.^

XD

Hey, do you see any of my missing paths from my group Vintage-tan Inkscape export? Cause maybe BSD-chan ate 'em while I wasn't looking...

[in gastric juice sauna]

Sorry,... the Crabs said they tossed out a lot of old stuff into the intestine shoot,... like,... probably about 2 days before I dropped in.  Better luck next time, though.....  ^___^

Phew sure is.... acidic in here, no?  ^^;

[NejinOniwa]

HA! I stole Bella-san's birthday present: LOTS O' SNOW! MAW HAW HAW HAW. -w-

I mean, er, congrats, or something XD
Also, CC, it's the 22:nd (or 21:st depending on your timezone, so I presume your birthday was the 21:st, Bella-san?). It's...near the end of the month. Kinda. Maybe. TIEM PARADOX TIEM!!!
*swooshes off*

You just blew my mind....

...and made me feel even older!

Always remember, Bella - you're middle-age when you turn 20.
_W_
Jk, jk! ; Also my chemistry teacher said just that to me today - and I realized that it's damn good that we're not thinking in terms of Mitosis when we think of our age, since that'd probably drive us all insane with collective age-noia. Naw, lass - stay where ya are and be happy that you now are allowed to get yourself batshit drunk. In Canada. Or Europe. But not where you are right now. Er. Now i lost myself >v>;

I, on the other hand, feel old thinking about stuff that happened before year 2000 - just imagine how it would feel for me to go about the stuff you're doing XD
*stays away from the mainframes for his own good*

But anyway, GJ on birtday-age (lol) and as usual...
MULTICS, FUCK YEAH
I'd hit any of those lasses any day. (damn, I sound like such a /b/-tard now >-<)

[Techno the fox]

Hey everyone, I told you I'd start posting more didn't I?

Now to review---Hubba WHA? It's your birthday?

Well then. Happy Birthday Bella-san. On such short notice I didn't have enough time to get a cake. My appologies...I'm so unprepared...-_-

I may not have a cake but I do have this. *holds out a candle lit by blue foxfire*
Now make a wish and blow it out, hurry before I end up catching fire. Heh..

WAITS-Tan
Nice, She's beautiful. Like C-chan already said The 60's style dress  looks really authentic. The 70's style WAITS does too.
[thinking]Must resist the urge to Disco dance.
Great Job Bella! ^_^
*peeks over the working WAITS-tan's shoulder*
Ooooh Whatcha doin?
.
.
*Techno can be seen flying through the air backwards several seconds later*'


Woah, she really did make a Honeywell kitchen computer-tan.
(Personally the actual HKC itself was a bit too bulky and expensive for my tastes, plus I don't recall ever seeing any being sold.)

But the -tan, She looks simply adorable.
The question is...Do I want her making food for me?
(Wait...Didn't I just mention bad cooking a second ago? *hears X-Files music*)

I love her outfit. But now whenever I see cooking mits I think of the kind Buu from DBZ/GT.

LOL, that Multics-sama comic. You've made me smile.

ITS-Tan looks cute and tomboyish.
Why does the phrase "Gunslinger Girl" come to mind when I look at her?

Awww, darn...

*thinks up Techno-trap*

*Oh, Inu-T...!*

*Techno's left ear perks up*
Huh?

On another note, while I was typing this I had my Windows Media Player on 1. FM  80's and "Shame on the Moon" Played.
*stares at C-chan while the X-files theme plays*


I promise updated versions of those pics I drew earlier soon, just one little thing.........
..................How do I convert Imported pictures into an editable vector version? -_-;;

..................How do I convert Imported pictures into an editable vector version? -_-;;

Glad you asked.  ^__^
The quick-and-dirty way to do it is using the "Trace Bitmap" command found in the Path menu above.  ^.^
Course, this doesn't turn lines into strokes, but everything into giant path blobs, so I wouldn't say it's 100% editable.

Would I and Bella-san do, therefore, is to simply retrace the lines from whatever art we're scanning.  Not unlike how you would ink over a pencil-drawn illustration.  ^____^

Speaking of which, you're cordially invited to join the FOSA team as well.  We could use someone of your creativity.  ^__^

Oh my gosh! You actually did make a Honeywell Kitchen Computer-tan!

And happy birthday, Bella!

I'm true to my word

And thank you!

I actually read the SAIL article, and I see what you mean.... WOW! What an excellent job! Almost makes you want to write a fanfiction. ^_____^

(reminds self not to EVEN think about it, or else.... ^^; )

Tell me about it! I wish all OSs would write their own "autobiography" XD

Hard to think that this gorgeous young lady was the same one conducting that.... "evening" experiment. Well, but at least now no one can accuse ME of "shipping". ^^

I tried to make her look like a cross between sorta a 1960s and Victorian styles...I think I made her look more 60s-ish, though...
The ovals have no real meaning, and that's my poor idea of paisley on the dress to the left.

As for the...incident...let us use the classic standby: It was the groovy 70s! Everyone was doing everything! Free love! Keep on truckin'! All that!

Glasses fit, yes (for a sophisticated AI, naturally! she'd be like 2K-tan on steroids! ^.^). Don't ask me about hair color, though, as I'll propose something pretty far-fetched like teal or lavendar. Dark blonde should do the trick. ^__^

Awww, it was still the early days. Her makers never would have let her have teal hair

BWAHAHAHAAHAA!!!!! That one's a classic!!!!!!! ^v^
It'd make SOOOOOOOOO much historical sense if the one who ended up getting that cake was UNIX-sama (then again, wrong time period).

Well, the Kitchen Computer was made in 1969. So Unix-sama could be the one she's trying to unload the cake on. I mean, I nearly included GECOS-san in that comic

She transcends the cuteness threshold, into the forbidden realm of hotness. @v@
Congratulations, you've succeeded in making a Kino-type character look, not only very very very very beautiful and stylish,.... but also,... more importantly,... NOT SHORT!!! ;^0^;
(although episode 4 sorta/kinda explains why Kino's stunted)

Awww...but...I wanted her to be just a bit on the short side ^////^

As least compared to CTSS and Multics-sama, who would have been quite tall I imagine (high 5' range)

And the bike is definitely of a much older era (and I imagine the gun is too).

Yes, I was going for a more old western look for ITS-tan. Both to complement the designs for the other 60s OS-tans (which have all been drawn in 1700s/1800s era clothing).

Still trying to drive this home a bit more with WAITS-tan, though...

HA! I stole Bella-san's birthday present: LOTS O' SNOW! MAW HAW HAW HAW. -w-

Nooooooo! Drop my snow, Nejin!

Jk, jk! ; Also my chemistry teacher said just that to me today - and I realized that it's damn good that we're not thinking in terms of Mitosis when we think of our age, since that'd probably drive us all insane with collective age-noia. Naw, lass - stay where ya are and be happy that you now are allowed to get yourself batshit drunk. In Canada. Or Europe. But not where you are right now. Er. Now i lost myself >v>;

Oh man, even if I could legally go out and get smashed I wouldn't. I just don't see the point of it.

That said, it is always fun to watch drunken people act like idiots.

I, on the other hand, feel old thinking about stuff that happened before year 2000 - just imagine how it would feel for me to go about the stuff you're doing XD
*stays away from the mainframes for his own good*

Me too! I feel old remembering how incredible Windows 98 seemed to me when we got our first PC...

And that X-Files music is still playing!?

*SOMEBODY TURN THE DARNED MUSIC OFF!!!!*

LOL, that Multics-sama comic. You've made me smile.

I'm glad to hear

ITS-Tan looks cute and tomboyish.
Why does the phrase "Gunslinger Girl" come to mind when I look at her?

I tried to make her look like a cross between sorta a 1960s and Victorian styles...I think I made her look more 60s-ish, though...

Just a bit, but no prob.  ^___^

The ovals have no real meaning, and that's my poor idea of paisley on the dress to the left.

Amount of C-chan Familiarity with Fashion Concepts = 0.02%

In other words....

...?  '___'

Awww, it was still the early days. Her makers never would have let her have teal hair

Oh, alright....  

*crosses arms and pouts*  

Well, the Kitchen Computer was made in 1969. So Unix-sama could be the one she's trying to unload the cake on. I mean, I nearly included GECOS-san in that comic

Fufu! ^.^

Speaking of which, are you planning on coloring these any time soon?

I'm still looking for potential FOSA launch material, and just like how I have a lot of unfinished vector sketches, maybe you could consider 'saucing' some of your black n white gems?  ^___^

Awww...but...I wanted her to be just a bit on the short side ^////^

*smirks*
*starts polishing aluminum bat*

....How short?  Â¯__¯

As least compared to CTSS and Multics-sama, who would have been quite tall I imagine (high 5' range)

Ahh, that's better.  ^__^

*puts bat away*

In fairness, UNIX-sama is pretty short herself, so all joking aside, it wouldn't have been a problem for ITS-san to be roughly around that height as well (I figure a clean 5' would01 work out for the Goddess).

*sigh*  It's amazing that back in THOSE days, upper 5' would've been considered gangly and tall.  How oh so backward and uncivilized.... thank goodness for progress and high-calorie nutrition.  ^___^

*searches number for Barbie Linux-tan*

Yes, I was going for a more old western look for ITS-tan. Both to complement the designs for the other 60s OS-tans (which have all been drawn in 1700s/1800s era clothing).

Fuuu.... I actually didn't realize it was an 'Old West' style dress (more like a stylized coat). bit given the age and the antiquity of her gun AND the nature of her participation in the more "lawless" aspects of computer society at the time.... yeah, it makes perfect sense.  ^___^

And if she's still around, by all means PCLOS-sama's got a rootin-tootin friend, no? ^.^

Yeehaw!  and stuff!  ^___^

*starts looking up directions for PCLOS-sama's Gnu ranch too*

Thanks! But....

*bawls*

*Noooooo! But I want her dress to look 25% more 1800s-ish!*

And unfortunately, she also has to remain American 1800s-ish due to her upbringing.  
*sigh* And here I was about to recommend a more Canadian Old West look.  -v-
That would've spiced things up a bit.  ^.^

*searches thread for source of creepy music*

*finds a radio*

AHHHHHHA!

*throws radio out of thread*

*finds radio on floor*

*blink blink*  '__'

*fixes it*

*gets creeped out by X-Files music*

Needs more Anime.  T__T

*and starts changing dial*

...

*captures station playing 'Catch You Catch Me'*

YEAH!!!!  TIME TO ROCK!!!  ^V^

*starts getting down and dirty with pretty, frilly, pink-inspired music*  ^___^

*PUMPS UP VOLUME*

I just thought of the perfect description for WAITS-tan: Bohemian! Started in the 19th century, this was sort of a precursor of the Hippie culture...

Ooh!  ^.^

There's plenty of inspiration for that.... ^___^
Good thinkin'.  ^v^
