| Our store name is pretty easy to figure out where it came from...
When we first decided to open a store here on BL we thought alot about what name
to use. We wanted a name to reflect that we were a two guys in business because
we also have a cabinet making business together where our name in an obscure
way signifies that we are a 2 guy business - our woodworking business is called
R&R WoodWorks where the 2 R's stand for Ringgold and Russell, our last names
shop so we kind of decided on TheBrickGuys and I say 'kind of' because
we figured that if we came up with a better name latter then we would just change
it but we never really gave it much thought afterwards. I guess thinking about
it now we could have chosen R&R Brick Works for our BrinkLink name, kind of has
a nice ring to it.
Our store picture is my dog Skragle. When I first got him from the dog pound
I wanted to give him a Lego related name. I gave it a lot of thought and came
up with Skragle. His name comes from something Lego related but it would be interesting
to see if anyone can figure out in what way his name is related to Lego. I will
give a hint, it is in the first Lego movie. Part of the reason I gave him the
name Skragle is because he is a very scraggly haired dog. I can brush him and
2 minutes later he looks like he has never even seen a brush so that plays a
part in his name but there is still a Lego related reason.
|
I've shown your pics of Skragle to my son and daughter some time ago when
you posted to my forum pet topic suggestion: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1154156.
We all agree that he should live with us. So just let us know when it's convenient
for you, for us to drive down to Canyon Country to pick him up
|
It's funny how Lego can influence the way you look at things. When I look
at the colors of cars I often think of them in regards to what Lego color they
look like.
|
Me too

Take care.
Jim.
PS. We've changed Were to We're in our store slogan as you suggested
in a previous post - Thanks for that.

I am glad you and your kids like him. He has been an incredible dog. I appreciate
your offer to take him but I think I will keep him for now.
His name comes from the glue kragle on the 1st. Lego movie, I just added an S
to it.

ConstrucToys is an amalgam of Construction Toys, that came to me while trying
to create a store name elsewhere some years ago. I still have no idea if it's
original or not, knowing how my mind works, or doesn't
As to how long? Well popsicle I've used here on BL for 9+ years, unsure.
ConstrucToys, not as long. Beyond that, I have trouble with timeline awareness
of events in my life going back to my younger days. Let's just say I've
got some wiring issues from damage I took as a young man overseas.

I intentionally chose a store name that doesn't have the word "brick" in
it in order to distinguish myself. I went through a few different store names
before I settled on "Wild Chicken", but it seems like a good fit to me because
it matches my BrickLink username. As to where that came from, I don't really
know, it just kind of popped into my head one day.
My profile picture is simply
I used to have some in stock, but someone bought them all about a month ago

Back in 2003 when I wrote the original BrickStore there were no standards on
where to put cache files on all the supported platforms. So I choose a suitable
location, but let the user change it.
Nowadays each platforms defines exactly what has to go where and for cache data
this is:
macOS: ~/Library/Caches/Brickstore
Windows: C:/Users//AppData/Local/Brickstore/cache
Linux: ~/.cache/Brickstore

Love cats. Love portmanteaus. It occurred to me spontaneously while trying to
think of a name on the spot, and I loved it, especially the three different primary
pronunciations -- BRICK-it-y, bri-KITT-y, and BRICK KITTY. (I love all three
but generally lean towards the first, like the word "rickety".) Checked it out
and no one had taken it. My partner designed the logo in Photoshop, but awhile
ago a generous and talented user on BL built the cat with real bricks, took a
picture for me, and gave me free use of it, so that logo will be going up in
the next few weeks.
Also, "kitty" is my principle pet name with my partner, going both ways. So there's
some special significance there. It's one of the most positive words in our
lives.

Fantastic read. Thanks!

Enjoyable read. Thanks, Paul!
My entire time here on BL, I've viewed you as one of the site’s anchors,
still do. You, Carol and a few others are among those I’ve tried to emulate as
a fledgling BL store some 15 years ago.
But it’s the activities beyond BL involving Lego and otherwise, that are spectacular.
I won’t blab about them here, don’t know if you’d appreciate that or not. Nonetheless,
this offers some idea to others of what I’m referring to: https://youtu.be/TqQJSneam6U

Love cats. Love portmanteaus. It occurred to me spontaneously while trying to
think of a name on the spot, and I loved it, especially the three different primary
pronunciations -- BRICK-it-y, bri-KITT-y, and BRICK KITTY. (I love all three
but generally lean towards the first, like the word "rickety".) Checked it out
and no one had taken it. My partner designed the logo in Photoshop, but awhile
ago a generous and talented user on BL built the cat with real bricks, took a
picture for me, and gave me free use of it, so that logo will be going up in
the next few weeks.
Also, "kitty" is my principle pet name with my partner, going both ways. So there's
some special significance there. It's one of the most positive words in our
lives.

| I’ve read in another forum thread that the bag assortment can change more frequently
than the inventories but I don’t know how much of it is true. At least in sets
with numbered bags it seems that each bag is tied to a separate part of the instructions
so it should be consistent between sets.
I’ve actually needed this feature recently as I found unopened parts bags in
a bulk LEGO bin I got off Craigslist, without it I ended up opening the bags
to inventory them, either to sell as New Incomplete or to complete the set and
sell it as Used.
In Off Topic, macebobo writes:
| I would like to get the community's opinion about set bag inventories. In

not, this only applies to sets with numbered bags.
I don't want to bias your opinion with my thoughts as I am looking for other's
opinions.
I have an opportunity to test how I would do this as I am parting out a couple
sets and will be taking the time to inventory the bags as I part them out.

It would add to the initial work, but I would love it. People sell individual
bags on eBay and it is hard to tell what they are worth. It would be a commercial
and scholastic opportunity for Bricklink and it would also get us around the
timeout problem on big, big sets. You would just part out 6 bags at a time.

If you are not sure it is Playmobil, you can check it on Playmodb.org. It is
a database like BrickLink, but it is a reference only site. I don't know
if this helps?

watching wood ants on their mounds and many more things.
Only ever watched nature programmes to see the Cicadas, not an event you'll
see too often in a lifetime.
I think the most annoying and spectacular thing we see is the mass of flying
ants once a year as they leave to start new colonies.

I am in this group. I am always fascinated by the little things around me when
I go on walks, runs, hikes, bike rides, canoeing, camping, etc. Not only does
the wildlife intrigue me, but every type of plant, fungus, etc. Right now, the
17-year cicadas are out in my part of Ohio ("Brood X" as it is known). The last
time they were here, I had just moved into my first home at 28 and had no kids.
Now, my life could not be more different than it was then. The sound is deafening
and overly irritating, but the whole cicada life cycle and observing them above
ground just fascinates me. They are cute in a weird sort of way.
I love spending time in the outdoors as much as my LEGO!

| I told you I was an odd one, never ever liked Whisky/Whiskey or most strong
alcoholic spirits, just don't like the taste.
Drank Vodka a lot whilst in my late teens and early twenties but lost any interest
after too many hangovers, now I can't tolerate it at all.
Never liked anything that tastes earthy/peaty whether that's malt, beers
or those dreadful cheap wines we had in the 70's/80's here in the U.K.
My sweet tooth doesn't help, not a fan of anything too dry.

I think we're all born with a strong sense of wonderment and awe of the world
around us, that stays with us but get's push to the back of our minds as
we take on the struggles of life.
But as we age our thoughts become more disciplined and prioritized, allowing
us to see and "appreciate the world around us" again. Or it could just be the
ever-increasing realization that comes with age, that life is finite, renewing
our perspective and appreciation?

I'm moving to the south west, all being well, in the next few months.

The sun is beginning to shine here in North Devon. If I remember rightly from
your past postings you are headed over the border to Kernow.

| Don't know your part of Britain but glad to hear someone sees bluer skies
more often.
Never seem to have a camera, not that I'm any good with them, when the beautiful
sunrises or sunsets are on display.

Lovely photos, I'm lucky I get to see skies like that a fair bit as I live
on the Sussex Coast, and the sky yesterday morning at about 4:30 was amazing
even though it meant rain for most of the day, it had lots of the reds and oranges.

Can't reach to test if it's brittle too.

...within 5 min. you make a (or many) new one, very simple:
- BS prints the layout you see on your screen
Step 1] modify the screen layout to meet your print-layout needs
- you can use Selections and whatever in that layout
Step 2] save that layout under the tab 'View' with a nice name
- you can add numerous layouts of your own
Step 3] whatever file you open, go to View, apply a custom print-layout, and
voilá
- what you see is what you get
Step 4] print it

Would like to see a few additions to Part Designer, namely:
1. Ability to move eraser with WASD (when you've selected eraser, WASD just
moves viewport, which seems pretty useless)
2. Ability to erase based on shapes. Would be nice if I could use a part as
an eraser, similar to the difference function in POV-Ray. How else am I supposed
to create curves?

Point 2 already exists: you can intersect / join / minus pairs of selected objects.
Select the binary operation first from the tool icon dropdown, then select both
objects, then click the tool icon.
