Malignosphere

 Pursuit of an alternative to Malignanceship2 has been the "Malignosphere". So Far, not much is working. The Upper screen is a visual representation for the SUtech AI (because the software to represent a hologram eludes me (Adobe License). The flatscreen is a touch interface using HTML - but That seems to be archaic now. Also - not developed. And the Larger podium is the Command Deck (not developed or installed). 

SUtech itself (voice command + voice synthesis in a chatbot form built in Python and running on Arch Linux is not coded. Stole some programming notes though!

Right now the structure is forming (interior) yet need the exterior representation, and all the development that goes Into these systems. Also, nothing seems compatible (legacy hardware is not supported on janky Linux builds on Rasberry Pi boards). 

Still, on a Budget, with allowances for trial and error, some success.

MALIGNOPALOOZA 2022 !

 Greetings and Lamentations, I AM Lord Malignance and before me you Will CROUCH!

Villains excepted, but of course. 

So, today marks 13 years in the Out in the Open Villain business of my planned 15. The next year will be One's last year of putting forward new projects, and the last year more or less a victory lap. One may publish all the blog posts one last time before deleting them. Website will be shut down and accounts closed. 

You have one last year Zuckerberg to end your ridiculous "real names policy" or lose my Metadata for-Ever. As IF Europe isn't going to eviscerate you with their privacy laws. 

But before Then, One had been meaning to put a new video out. It's been awhile and One can think of a few ways to rant about the things that are topical. Maybe polish up VNS - the Villain News Show for another couple of shows. 

And to this end, One labored mightily in the Lair - but alas to no avail. Everything Works (not sure about the backdrop length...) but everything else is in place. Would be nice to have a Malignoscope with a SUtech interface and a Teleprompter - but those can be added as One goes along. The Lair just got too hot to work in today. The suit One wears is mostly synthetic materials, which breath not at all. 

One remembers a walker challenge years ago - same time of year, but One went to the low lands to walk along a river. The mountains are Nice - but the sun is closer here and quite intense. Oh, but the lowlands were even Hotter. Imagine if you will - One in a "Slipsuit" - a windbreaker, and a aerodynamic bicycle helmet, In my lairwear underneath. Now set the temperature to over a hundred degrees. Over Days and in Boots! And One Still won the challenge - but not without cost. Soaking bandages and goopy boots. 
One will say no more. 

One will have to make up for this shortcoming with a video on the sooner rather than later. There Were celebrations in the Lair this year - small but meaningful tributes paid by those in close employ. One tends to pay respect to associates at Ubermas and then accept tribute properly in the Accounting. Malignopalooza is more for the the staff to celebrate - well, essentially staying in my Evil graces. 

Something soon and perhaps a little bit better than the usual videos. Might take a bit to capture the old magic ? One isn't sure - and isn't that exciting? One has No Idea - it's been so long. Can One still do it, and can One improve on previous work? Going to be interesting at least to Me to see if One can rise to the challenge.

Remembering the Nights of High Adventure !

 

The Old VNS (the "Villain News Show") set. One still has some ideas for bringing this back - but only with better production values (and there's no time in the schedule at present). 
Note the Wig and Anchorman sports coat. Those were such fun. It Was the cheapest wig (and One still has it Somewhere, buried in the Lair).

Malignopalooza 2022 approaches on August 1st, thirteen years in Evil and two more years to go to the end. 

Malignanceship 2 Progress notes

 Greetings and Lamentations, I AM Lord Malignance and before me you Will CROUCH!
Villains excepted, of course. 

One has said to post more often and as the year comes to an end on Malignopalooza on August 1st, there are just a few more days to get some content in and fulfil that intent. 

And so One wishes to update the history of the Malignanceship project. 

The first Malignanceship was a 11 story hammerform behemoth that burned 6 of those floors in chemical propulsion. Think flying bomb and you have an idea of one the significant design flaws, but there were Others. S.U.tech, the Lair AI One was using as the ships operating system fell delightfully apart with the automatic Windows 10 upgrade (the files were all in Windows7) and One didn't program it originally myself. 

The ship was a gestalt of Malignancetech (which is essentially whatever One can steal and rebrand), DARPA projects, Obsidian Labs tech, Hanger 18 recovered artifacts, various villain contracted work, and the bits of duct tape, current technology, and bits of string One could come up with. 

The ship marvelously had a couple of experimental technologies to test - one was the space folding "Jump Drive", another was the interstellar propulsion Ion Drive - this last one was the final challenge that doomed further development of this platform. It turned out that the ion drive engine produced a significant and lethal amount of radiation. The shielding for this added a great deal of weight to the overall airframe and grounded the ship for all but short terrestrial flight operations. 

Malignanceship suborbital flight tests

Malignanceship had absorbed the Lair at this point and after the shutdown of the project, the Lair needed to be reconstituted - and this took some time. Half the Ninja wards are no longer operational and one is using the last of the Malignobots to fill in the security gaps. The Invisible Colorado Ninja Empire clans of Iga (Traditional Ninjas), Shinobi (New Ninjas), and Koga (Ninja Mystics) are kind of in a sketchy place regarding the contract One holds over them as Villain Lord of the Mighty Colorado Holdfast. 

However, Development has been continuing. The Next proposed Malignanceship ("Malignanceship2) was modeled on a "headship" - something along the lines of; 

 

It proved to be unfeasible as the ship had inadequate propulsion systems for current technology. None of the acquired technologies had anything that could replace chemical rockets and those require significant fuel stores. 

The next ship was a jump off of the current Billionaires-In-Rocketships;

SPACE X

BLUE ORIGIN

Another SPACE X

These designs would turn out to be insufficient for mission purposes (they go Up, they come down, and not much more). 

The current model is the Lifting Body model on a Delivery Vehicle based around these platforms; 

HL-10

DREAMCHASER

X-40

The shapes however are hard to fabricate and the aerodynamics even more so - it turns out the Lifting Bodies - sometimes called "flying bathtubs" are tricky both to sustain flight and to control. So the work continues. Nothing really very developed at this time.
