[00:00:09] <SirFinkus> it sounds better, but is still fairly inexpensive
[00:00:13] <mechanicjay> I propose a shielded listening hat to keep stray electromagnetic waves from interfering with your brain's interpretation of the sound waves.
[00:00:13] <SirFinkus> but, you know, gold
[00:00:47] <mechanicjay> on that note, gotta run. Catch y'all tomorrow.

[00:58:08] * Bytram can't wait until the *real* snow starts!
[00:58:10] <mrcoolbp> got 1.5 feet on the way for this weekend
[00:58:20] * Bytram looks around at the 6-foot tall snow banks
[00:58:26] <mrcoolbp> we are running out of space yes
[00:58:38] <mrcoolbp> Turns out space is not infinte = )

[01:03:06] <mrcoolbp> Bytram < a mile
[01:03:15] <mrcoolbp> can walk if nukes are headed here
[01:03:17] <Bytram> more snow is coming
[01:03:18] <mrcoolbp> well run really
[01:03:41] <mrcoolbp> Bytram: more than a foot and a half?
[01:03:46] <Bytram> mrcoolbp: nod nod; safer than driving the wrong way on rt 9!!
[01:04:09] <mrcoolbp> TMB: how goes it? Are you still on LOA?
[01:04:30] <Bytram> last i heard a couple mroe inches tonight and then another foot plus on sat/sun
[01:04:42] <mrcoolbp> Bytram: reading the comments on your anniversarry article is mustering warm-n-fuzzies
[01:04:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> mrcoolbp, likely till march, yeah. still clearing up some packing and prep work then waiting on me bud then prolly be another week getting settled.
[01:04:54] <Bytram> same happened for me
[01:05:13] * Bytram saw a bunch of nicks I'd not seen for a while
[01:05:18] <Bytram> poutine++
[01:05:18] <Bender> karma - poutine: -381
[01:05:23] <Bytram> =)
[01:05:24] <mrcoolbp> TMB: cool, hope your new place is sweet
[01:05:34] <mrcoolbp> Bytram: ooh I didn't see that yet, can't wait
[01:06:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> likely be a two bedroom apartment until we can get a place that can store his work trailer in a shop or closed garage.
[01:06:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> but yeah, i'm hoping for lack of roaches as well.
[01:06:24] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: good luck on the search!
[01:07:17] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: just thought of something... any way you can get a count of how many story views there have been so far on the site?
[01:07:31] * Bytram forgot that metric when writing our 1 yr anniv story
[01:07:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> ... not that i know of offhand
[01:07:43] <Bytram> k
[01:07:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> big db though, could be in there somewhere
[01:08:03] <Bytram> hmmm.

[01:08:32] * Bytram recently pulled down all the table column info for dev... should be able to find it in there.
[01:08:32] <Bytram> brbr
[01:08:55] <Bytram> freudian slip? brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! =)
[01:09:04] <Bytram> brb
[01:09:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> wtf... lookit this: https://soylentnews.org
[01:09:09] <Hedonismbot> ^ 03SN comment by hendrikboom (1125)
[01:09:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> spam mod, do with it as you two will
[01:09:59] * Bytram opens link...
[01:10:17] <Chief_Piggum> Hahahah
[01:10:18] <Bytram> mrcoolbp: well, it sure ain't spam
[01:10:21] <Chief_Piggum> what an asshole.
[01:10:33] <Chief_Piggum> the guy who modded that, I mean.
[01:11:49] * Bytram opens moderator's userinfo page and looks at prior mods
[01:11:57] <mrcoolbp> TheMightyBuzzard: someone needs to show me the ropes on the new spam mod stuff
[01:12:12] <Bytram> mrcoolbp: can do
[01:12:12] <mrcoolbp> oh nvm I see it
[01:12:20] <Bytram> you see the spam mod?
[01:12:26] <Bytram> and who did it?
[01:12:35] <mrcoolbp> yah yah
[01:12:57] * mrcoolbp clicks Un-spam
[01:13:06] <mrcoolbp> done.
[01:13:10] <Bytram> on their userinfo page, I see the VAST majority of the mods are positive
[01:13:10] <mrcoolbp> that was easy
[01:13:17] <mrcoolbp> yeah, I know that guy
[01:14:04] <mrcoolbp> both actaully
[01:14:15] <mrcoolbp> I'm guessing it was user error
[01:14:25] <Bytram> the question, I guess, is two-fold: (1) if it's spam, leave it be. (2) if it's NOT spam, then is it malicious or accidental?
[01:15:02] <mrcoolbp> right, we should keep a log of who's using that mod
[01:15:50] <Bytram> there's one problem with the current implementation... any time we 'un-spam-mod' some comment, it is *removed* from the DB -- it's as if it never happened.
[01:16:35] <Bytram> as opposed to there being an "un-spam-mod" which would negate the effect (mod points) but retain the fact that there was a spam mod in the first place
[01:17:06] <Bytram> of course, the latter approach would require MUCH more work to implement
[01:17:25] <Bytram> so I fully understand the rationale for it being implemented the way it was.
[01:17:45] <Bytram> back in a few minutes
[01:17:49] <mrcoolbp> k
[01:18:03] <chromas> You could maybe create a new table that just tracks spam mods and if they're undone, so you have some history to look at
[01:18:30] <mrcoolbp> Bytram ^ ?
[01:18:49] -!- SpallsHurgenson [SpallsHurgenson!~SpallsHur@Soylent/Users/656/SpallsHurgenson] has joined #Soylent
[01:19:54] <SpallsHurgenson> I nominate Bytram to do the extra work.
[01:20:15] <chromas> second
[01:20:22] <mrcoolbp> Aye!
[01:20:24] <mrcoolbp> motion passes.
[01:21:02] <SpallsHurgenson> okay, so what did I just make him do? :)
[01:23:59] -!- Chief_Piggum has quit [Quit: Web client closed]
[01:24:02] <Bytram> you volunteered to supply me with a new computer that is up to the task of running a VM image of the site and do dev work on it
[01:24:08] <Bytram> =)
[01:24:20] <mrcoolbp> Bytram uses a 386 running dos
[01:24:41] <mrcoolbp> just upgraded from a punchcard machine so it's actually a step up
[01:24:47] <SpallsHurgenson> I nominate that Bytram's paycheck get docked in the amount that such a new computer would cost
[01:24:52] <mrcoolbp> HAhahahaah
[01:24:56] <mrcoolbp> paychecks!?
[01:25:01] <mrcoolbp> Oh that's rich.
[01:25:31] <SpallsHurgenson> $3,000 off his weekly paycheck of $0
[01:25:47] <mrcoolbp> but that would make....carry the 3,000.....
[01:25:53] <mrcoolbp> I suck at math
[01:25:54] <SpallsHurgenson> anyway, I didn't specify it was a SOYLENT paycheck :)
[01:25:58] <mrcoolbp> ah
[01:26:06] <SpallsHurgenson> although it would be very helpful for the PBC if it was :)
[01:26:07] <Bytram> not that bad... but an athlon 64 3200+ w/ 1.25GB RAM and 80GB 5400RPM hard disk and win/XP
[01:26:27] -!- BadCoderFinger has quit [Quit: ENOBEER]
[01:27:36] <SpallsHurgenson> I downloaded 83GB in January :)
[01:28:35] <SpallsHurgenson> (mind you, a lot of that was probably streaming video that didn't get saved anywhere... but still, an 80GB hard drive? That pinches my nipples! :)
[01:30:17] <mrcoolbp> Yeah, well people keep docking his paycheck, what do you want from him!?!?
[01:30:38] <SpallsHurgenson> a lot of people get by these days with three jobs :)
[01:31:01] <mrcoolbp> Spalls: I'm one of those people if you count SN, and it's a tough life.
[01:31:35] <mrcoolbp> not all bad, and there are many worse, but it's a constant struggle of making sure you are setup and comitted to each of them
[01:31:39] <SpallsHurgenson> see? Bytram is just being lazy :) :)
[01:31:40] <mrcoolbp> it's draining = )
[01:31:51] <SpallsHurgenson> I nominate Bytram to take a fourth job :)
[01:32:05] * mrcoolbp nominates Spalls for something
[01:32:14] <SpallsHurgenson> oooh, seconded!
[01:32:22] <SpallsHurgenson> I always wanted to be something :)
[01:32:23] <mrcoolbp> all in favor?
[01:32:33] * SpallsHurgenson also votes nay
[01:32:42] <mrcoolbp> motion passes
[01:32:53] * Bytram votes for SpallsHurgenson to "be"
[01:33:21] * SpallsHurgenson starts collecting nectar for the hive
[01:33:36] <mrcoolbp> good little worker.
[01:33:39] * Bytram just hears him 'drone' on
[01:33:45] <mrcoolbp> *moan*
[01:33:50] <mrcoolbp> or *groan* ?
[01:33:54] <mrcoolbp> ug I'm tired
[01:33:58] <Bytram> that's what the queen be said
[01:34:00] <mrcoolbp> did I mention I have jobs?
[01:34:07] <Bytram> steve?
[01:34:12] <mrcoolbp> Jon?
[01:34:22] <Bytram> No, Steve Jobs
[01:34:25] <swiss> let jobs go
[01:34:30] <mrcoolbp> never!
[01:34:37] <SpallsHurgenson> I have no problem believing mrcoolbp has steve jobs in a box somewhere in his house
[01:34:52] <swiss> this situation isn't good for any of us! Let him go, and i promise you won't get hurt
[01:34:56] <Bytram> cryo-preserved and is now a corpsicle
[01:35:02] <mrcoolbp> Spalls: nah, just his turtleneck
[01:35:21] <Bytram> stuck his neck out once too oftern?
[01:35:23] <mrcoolbp> thing smells nasty tho
[01:35:34] * Bytram offers mrcoolbp some febreze
[01:35:43] * mrcoolbp accepts
[01:38:12] <SpallsHurgenson> so soylent is a year old today. As a long-time bystander and non-participator, I think I deserve a reward of some sort in honor of that anniversary :)
[01:38:28] <Bytram> you may remain on the sidelines for an additional year
[01:38:51] <SpallsHurgenson> can I continue to make snarky and non-productive comments?
[01:39:22] <Bytram> you may try, and I'm pretty sure you can, too.
[01:39:52] * mrcoolbp kciks SpallsHurgenson
[01:39:54] <mrcoolbp> kicks
[01:39:57] <SpallsHurgenson> geez, you're worse than Ms Envis, my first grade teacher :)
[01:40:20] <mrcoolbp> slash/kick spallshurgenson
[01:40:21] <SpallsHurgenson> and you're like Mr Hunter, my PE teacher :)
[01:40:40] * mrcoolbp goes to look up IRC commands
[01:41:12] <SpallsHurgenson> I think /spalls k-lines me from the server. I've a reputation, you see :)
[01:41:30] <mrcoolbp> slashspalls
[01:41:37] <mrcoolbp> didn't work
[01:41:54] <Bytram> http://www.alexa.com
[01:41:55] <Hedonismbot> ^ 03soylentnews.org Site Overview
[01:42:36] <SpallsHurgenson> woohoo, you broke 500,000!
[01:43:23] <SpallsHurgenson> aren't most soylents the type who would be using noscript and otherwise preventing alexa metricking scripts from running anyway?
[01:43:26] <mrcoolbp> "Which sites did people visit immediately before this site? slashdot.org 10.3%"
[01:43:46] <mrcoolbp> SpallsHurgenson: I'd guess around 30% at best
[01:43:59] <mrcoolbp> much higher than elsewhere, but not as high as you'd think
[01:44:08] <mrcoolbp> not sure tho
[01:45:11] <mrcoolbp> I have a meeting with the CPA tomorrow, gotta turn in soon
[01:45:15] * SpallsHurgenson checks and sees that he is allowing soylent scripting...
[01:45:26] * mrcoolbp responds to some user emails
[01:45:39] <Bytram> well, in the same section, it says 21.2% came from google and 8.3% from facebook, and 2.3% from wikipedia
[01:45:57] <SpallsHurgenson> does it count if I have slashdot loaded in another tab? :)
[01:46:54] * Bytram has only been to /. 4 times since the slashcott, and only to check out bug reports and comparative behavior; as well as once to gather data for the SN 1-year anniversary story.
[01:47:04] * Bytram used to visit /. 4-5 times per day
[01:47:43] <SpallsHurgenson> I visit both regularly. So long as beta isn't mandatory it's still a worthwhile destination.
[01:48:23] <Bytram> the content may be, but I decided to take a stand based on the site's treatment of the community... i.e. *me* !
[01:48:46] <SpallsHurgenson> and much as I wish soylent success, /. still has better articles, summaries and comments.
[01:49:32] <SpallsHurgenson> I assume Dice will eventually ass up the site but until then, I take what I can get :) :)
[01:50:40] <mrcoolbp> Spalls: or you could join us and help make soylent more awesomer
[01:50:47] <Bytram> diffrent course for different horses
[01:50:52] <SpallsHurgenson> I can do both you know :)
[01:52:57] <SpallsHurgenson> soylent improves gradually and hopefully will be able to fully replace /. by the time Dice completely ruin the place :)
[01:53:49] <mrcoolbp> Our goal isn't to beat them, just to be awesome
[01:54:05] <SpallsHurgenson> which is good too; then I can have two awesome sites :)
[01:54:11] <mrcoolbp> being awesome isn't easy tho
[01:56:55] <SpallsHurgenson> I recommend more free alcohol
[01:57:03] <SpallsHurgenson> oh, and a paycheck for bytram :)
[01:57:33] <Bytram> is that when you offer me a penny for my thoughts?
[01:57:47] <SpallsHurgenson> you might be overcharging :)
[01:58:11] <Bytram> nah, if I give it without you asking, it'd be my TWO cents' worth!
[01:58:19] <Bytram> so you'd be getting it at HALF PRICE!
[01:58:30] <SpallsHurgenson> bah, I'll just torrent 'em :)
[01:58:55] <Bytram> for posterity's sake, here's an Ars article about the /. beta rollout: http://arstechnica.com
[01:58:56] <Hedonismbot> ^ 03Slashdot’s new interface could kill what keeps Slashdot relevant | Ars Technica
[01:59:12] <Bytram> it was posted on 2012-02-12
[01:59:59] <SpallsHurgenson> even after a year, beta still looks awful.
[02:00:10] <SpallsHurgenson> so much bloody whitespace
[02:01:12] <SpallsHurgenson> I bet there's a lot of corporate politics that is keeping them from reverting back to the way it was though.
[02:01:37] <Bytram> heh. here's a quote from what prolly started the ball rolling that in turn gave birth to SN:
[02:01:41] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - UK Police Seek Charlie Hebdo Reader Details - http://sylnt.us - security-before-liberty
[02:01:45] <mrcoolbp> 2012? 1 year?
[02:01:47] * mrcoolbp does maths
[02:01:50] <Bytram> "We want to take our current content and all the stuff that matters to this community and deliver it on a site that still speaks to the interests and habits of our current audience, but that is, at the same time, more accessible and shareable by a wider audience," wrote Lord. "We want to give our current audience the space where they are comfortable." The use of the word "audience" did not sit well with
[02:01:51] <Bytram> the community�not at all.
[02:01:51] <Bytram> "We are not an audience," responded user steveg. "We might be users, we might be members, we most certainly are contributors. But we are not an audience. If you persist in thinking of us that way, then you're going to get it wrong."
[02:02:00] <Bytram> The comment continued:
[02:02:00] <Bytram> If we were an audience, we'd be coming here for the articles. Most of the complaints are about the comment system, how difficult it is to follow a conversation, how difficult it is leave a comment, etc. I come here, most of us come here, to read what my/our fellow slashdotters have to say. The value here is the community, and the most important contributors are other members, not the site or the edit
[02:02:01] <Bytram> ors.
[02:02:04] <Bytram> If you don't get that straight, then you aren't going to "get" why we're upset, so there's no chance that you'll deliver us something that we can live with. And that community is going to vanish, leaving you with nothing of value.
[02:02:33] <mrcoolbp> ROFL the irony
[02:02:34] <ciri> HEHEHEHE
[02:02:47] <SpallsHurgenson> its difficult for corporations to admit they're wrong; it lowers their perceived value.
[02:02:53] <mrcoolbp> tru
[02:02:55] <Bytram> here's another good one:
[02:02:56] <Bytram> This sentiment was echoed over and over again. User OzPeter wrote:
[02:02:57] <Bytram> This is the fundamental problem between how the corporate overlords think and how the community thinks. Until this difference is resolved you will get the continual complaints and the eventual mass exodus. We are a community. We are not an audience.
[02:02:57] <Bytram> I submit stories. I read stories. I add comments. I moderate comments. I am the reason that there is ad revenue.
[02:03:00] <Bytram> I am Slashdot.
[02:03:19] <mrcoolbp> Spalls: good thing we run the non-profit angle and have no perceived value right? RIGHT???
[02:03:37] <SpallsHurgenson> well, not to any stockholders you don't :)
[02:03:48] <NCommander> and archiving my email from all time just paid out
[02:03:59] <mrcoolbp> NCommander!

[02:10:27] <SpallsHurgenson> thank god for fools and firemen, without whom this world would be a much poorer place in which to live :)
[02:11:36] <SpallsHurgenson> you who are about to toss yourself into our bonfires, we salute you :)
[02:11:52] <NCommander> SpallsHurgenson, you're talking to someone who is currently working on licensing as an EMT, and planning to go for a paramedic license
[02:12:26] <SpallsHurgenson> yeah, but I don't have a snarky comment for that sort of job :)
[02:12:38] <Bytram> NCommander: my hat's off to you!
[02:13:30] <mrcoolbp> NCommander: couldn't you have moved to a city in NY slightly closer to myself? I think I still owe you a beer or visa versa and one of us should cash in on that ASAP
[02:13:45] <mrcoolbp> I think we are like 6 hour drive apart now
[02:13:49] <SpallsHurgenson> there are other cities in NY?
[02:13:52] <mrcoolbp> better than AK of course but...
[02:14:06] <mrcoolbp> Spalls there are at least 3 other cities that I know of
[02:14:39] <SpallsHurgenson> Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx?
[02:14:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> mrcoolbp, was doing dishes. cheers
[02:15:16] <mrcoolbp> TheMightyBuzzard: I'd like to contact him to liase, but if he's already hanging with janrinok he's prolly in good hands eh?
[02:15:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> as good as we can provide, yea
[02:15:38] <NCommander> mrcoolbp, Rochester is where a lot of stuff started and ended for me, but Boston isn';t THAT far
[02:15:45] <NCommander> Its not like driving is an alien concept to me
[02:15:52] <mrcoolbp> you have a car?!?
[02:15:53] <NCommander> My car still has Alaska license plates
[02:16:09] <mrcoolbp> oh I forgot you grabbed an auto out in AK
[02:16:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> he'll still need pointed at all the new stuff he'll have access to but thas one quick email
[02:16:41] <NCommander> w00t, ok, and the NIMS stuff sent to my instructor
[02:17:08] <mrcoolbp> TheMightyBuzzard: I can break the unofficial rules and look up his email from his SN nick I guess and fire a "Hi how are ya" email I guess
[02:17:30] * mrcoolbp notes not to use "I guess" as often
[02:17:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> mrcoolbp, you rebel you
[02:17:58] <mrcoolbp> NCommander: can we get that beer going soon than? (pending figuring out who owes who)
[02:18:13] <mrcoolbp> TheMightyBuzzard: that's smee
[02:18:15] * NCommander doesn't drink, but you can get me a diet coke
[02:18:21] <mrcoolbp> done
[02:18:57] <Bytram> NCommander: so how's the weather in your neck of the woods?
[02:19:16] <NCommander> Bytram, God has nominated Buffalo for the ice bucket challenge
[02:19:22] <mrcoolbp> rofl
[02:19:22] <ciri> now that is funny
[02:19:29] <Bytram> ROFL!!!!
[02:19:46] <mrcoolbp> NCommander: how about us here in metro boston? We are breaking mad records yo.
[02:19:53] * Bytram just drove through the "Old Port" a couple hours ago, and there's so much snow piled up, wouldn't be able to see the stage from the side streets
[02:20:16] <mrcoolbp> there's like 70in snow fallen in last 2.5 weeks with another 36 inches on the way this weekend
[02:20:20] <Bytram> mrcoolbp: how much you have so far? I remember back in '93 it was the most recorded snow in Boston history.
[02:20:29] <NCommander> I'm off next week, not sure what I'm going to do with it
[02:20:35] <NCommander> Probably settle Soylent business matters
[02:20:39] * mrcoolbp doesn't mind shoveling but he has no where to put it and can only throw it up about 8 feet high
[02:20:41] <Bytram> then they broke THAT record two years later.
[02:21:10] <mrcoolbp> NCommander: would love to get together, I have 2 days off/week, but not sure which they will be
[02:21:12] <Bytram> mrcoolbp: offer to donate it to the neighbors?
[02:21:20] <mrcoolbp> tried that bytram
[02:21:25] <mrcoolbp> they're not buying
[02:21:40] <chromas> send it my way
[02:21:48] <Bytram> many years ago, had a neighbor who made up a hand-painted sign: "Free Snow! Help Yourself!"
[02:21:52] <chromas> I think we broke our record of lamest winter ever
[02:21:53] <NCommander> mrcoolbp, where was that quote about companies being wrong from?
[02:22:04] <NCommander> I was in Panama this time last year
[02:22:05] <NCommander> <g>
[02:22:14] <mrcoolbp> which one?
[02:22:20] <Bytram> mrcoolbp: which panama?
[02:22:28] * mrcoolbp kicks Bytram
[02:22:37] <Bytram> there's the part north of the canal and the part that's south of it.
[02:22:43] <mrcoolbp> ug
[02:23:00] <NCommander> Bytram, Panama City :-P
[02:23:01] * mrcoolbp rephrases
[02:23:02] <mrcoolbp> NCommander: which quote?
[02:23:12] <NCommander> oh it was Bytram

[02:25:45] <mrcoolbp> Bytram: to answer your previous question we have around 3 feet on the ground now with another foot or so on the way, it's getting kinda rediculous
[02:26:19] <SpallsHurgenson> need more snow!
[02:26:20] * mrcoolbp responds to more emailz
[02:26:38] <Bytram> hmmm, I actually have no idea how much is on the ground atm, but the snow banks are so high, I'm really nercous whenever I pull out into the street.
[02:27:01] <Bytram> SpallsHurgenson: we've got plenty... whree should we ship it so you'll be sure to get it?

[02:27:31] <SpallsHurgenson> I like snow :)
[02:28:11] <SpallsHurgenson> I can't get enough of the stuff. There's still the little kid in me that sees the snow falling and gets all giddy (and thinks to himself, "snow day!" :)
[02:28:59] * Bytram has had enough with winter already this year... but tried to channel that childhood sense of awe and wonder and excitement and found it was still there.
[02:29:09] <Bytram> along with the memory that I do not bounce quite like I used to.
[02:29:33] <Bytram> afk brb
[02:30:26] <SpallsHurgenson> that sense of childlike excitment is what made me drive three hours to a closed ski resort yesterday :)

[02:45:47] <mrcoolbp> for those interested:
[02:45:48] * mrcoolbp met arti in LA, CA while on a business trip for his paying job, there was a hotel, a boardwalk, and other stuff that he doesn't remember
[02:45:53] <mrcoolbp> all thanks to SN
[02:46:09] <mrcoolbp> I think a beer was enjoyed
[02:46:28] <arti> i'll never forget it
[02:46:41] <arti> i enjoy telling the tale
[02:46:42] <mrcoolbp> I'll never forget the parts that I remember
[02:47:09] <mrcoolbp> oh BTW, my roomate did return later, drunk of his rear.
[02:47:37] <mrcoolbp> sometime in th early morning, nearly creating a scene for the entire group of 40 of us
[02:47:44] <arti> did he go to the party outside the safe zone?
[02:48:06] <mrcoolbp> nah, they went bar hopping and he got separated from the group
[02:48:26] <mrcoolbp> he ended up (I kid you not) roaming the streets of LA....
[02:48:37] <mrcoolbp> so his phone died and he was lost
[02:48:47] <mrcoolbp> he went up to some random apt/house...
[02:49:02] <mrcoolbp> they eventually got him back to the hotel. Poor sods.
[02:49:07] <mrcoolbp> The End.
[02:49:24] <mrcoolbp> this was at like 3am or so
[02:49:46] <SpallsHurgenson> LA is not a city through which to roam
[02:49:47] <arti> wow that would suck
[02:49:59] <mrcoolbp> overshadowed our debauchery by at leat 4x fold
[02:50:18] <mrcoolbp> he was the talk of the meeting for like an hour or two
[02:50:46] <mrcoolbp> no regrets arti, 10/10 would do again
[02:51:14] <mrcoolbp> thanks for all the fish buddy
[02:51:23] <SpallsHurgenson> London? Roam. Paris? Roam roam. New York? Rooooaaam! But LA? No roam.
[02:51:36] <mrcoolbp> Exactly Spalls
[02:51:41] <Bytram> but would you roam in rome?
[02:51:42] <mrcoolbp> on a business trip no less
[02:51:46] <SpallsHurgenson> (note: you will get lost in London though :)
[02:51:53] <mrcoolbp> Bytram: sure
[02:52:01] <arti> depends on the parts of LA but yeah... pffft.
[02:52:02] <mrcoolbp> Spalls: gaurunteed
[02:52:05] <Bytram> when in rome, do as the roamans do?
[02:52:09] * arti doesn't usually go to LA much
[02:52:18] * arti prefers Orange County
[02:52:20] <mrcoolbp> arti lives in the outskirts
[02:52:28] <Bytram> AHA! Figured it out...
[02:52:34] <Bytram> select sum(hits) from stories;
[02:52:49] * arti see's bytram's SQL merit badge
[02:52:52] <Bytram> would give us the total number of story views for all stories for all logged-in users.
[02:52:54] <arti> my grammar sucks
[02:53:02] <chromas> is orange county as white as comedians indicate?
[02:53:10] <mrcoolbp> Bytram: and..... ?
[02:53:15] * Bytram not only has the merit badge, might have a palm or two, too.
[02:53:24] <arti> nah there's plenty of persons incompatible with white.
[02:53:45] * arti lives in Costa Mesa
[02:53:51] <mrcoolbp> Bytram: remember: estimated 80% of visitors are not logged in (note: estimated = WAG)
[02:53:51] <Bytram> mrcoolbp: nothin in particular, was just another metric I thought of after writing and posting the 1-year anniv story
[02:54:12] <mrcoolbp> Bytram I mean go do the query
[02:54:18] <Bytram> nod nod; in that story I guestimated that there was a 10:1 ratio of ACs to logged-in-users
[02:54:18] <arti> queery.
[02:54:32] * Bytram would, but I don't have privs on production to do it.
[02:54:32] <mrcoolbp> arti: Oh you told me OC. must google costa mesa

[03:15:06] * mrcoolbp isn't a complete slacker
[03:15:28] <SpallsHurgenson> bah, when I'm on IRC, I'm a total slacker :)
[03:16:00] <BadCoderFinger> I'm with Spalls. Slack is good.
[03:16:01] <SirFinkus> liars
[03:16:07] <BadCoderFinger> Bob tells me so.
[03:16:31] <SpallsHurgenson> if I'm not on IRC, I may or may not be slacking :)
[03:16:35] <SirFinkus> I'm sure hookers and blow are involved
[03:17:44] <SpallsHurgenson> are we talking when I'm not on IRC or when I am? :)
[03:18:09] <SirFinkus> in irc
[03:18:18] <SirFinkus> I'm usually naked

[03:21:23] <SpallsHurgenson> can I roll a saving throw?
[03:21:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> save vs doh?
[03:21:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> which version of the rules?
[03:21:50] <SpallsHurgenson> oh, I get a big penalty for that
[03:22:08] <BadCoderFinger> Heh
[03:22:35] <SpallsHurgenson> which is odd since I have to roll it so often; you'd think it would improve with practice :)
[03:23:21] <BadCoderFinger> Time to round selected corners on the die...
[03:23:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> you're probably using 4e rules.
[03:23:43] <SpallsHurgenson> you... you... you take that back!!!!!!
[03:23:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> BadCoderFinger, i tried that once. damned thing fumbled even more often.

[03:24:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> heard 5e was sposed to be something of the awesome though
[03:24:31] <BadCoderFinger> Chessex sells dice with another 20 in place of the 1. So no more funbles.
[03:24:34] <SpallsHurgenson> there is only one true edition and gygax was its prophet :)
[03:25:32] <BadCoderFinger> SpallsHurgenson: Bugger that, I'm a Traveller fan.
[03:26:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> well now that's not entirely true now... there was DnD and then ADnD both done up by gygax.
[03:28:14] <SpallsHurgenson> OD&D was superseded by AD&D. BECMI D&D was really Mentzer's creation
[03:29:17] * SpallsHurgenson snuffles as he adjusts his horn-rimmed glasses with the tape on the bridge, like a true nerd :)
[03:30:49] <BadCoderFinger> It doesn't count unless you have a d20 present.

[03:45:56] <SpallsHurgenson> wait... does this mean it would be an appropriate time for me to blame Microsoft? I love doing that!
[03:46:14] <BadCoderFinger> SpallsHurgenson: Oh go on then.
[03:46:29] * SpallsHurgenson blames Google

[03:49:40] <BadCoderFinger> Shame on you for bringing that back!
[03:51:29] * Bytram wouldn't mind playing with CP/M again.
[03:51:46] <Bytram> felt much like working on an old DEC system with PIP and the like
[03:52:00] <BadCoderFinger> Haven't seen CP/M since the mid eighties.
[03:52:20] * Bytram actually worked on one for a while
[03:52:35] <Bytram> 8" floppy disks and lotsa blinky lights!
[03:52:53] <LancePodstrong> what is/was xenix?
[03:53:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> ancient unix distro
[03:53:13] <Bytram> IIRC, made my MS

[03:53:32] <BadCoderFinger> Not at first, but they bought it.
[03:53:33] <SpallsHurgenson> a Microsoft UNIX
[03:53:40] <LancePodstrong> wow that's crazy
[03:53:45] <LancePodstrong> had no idea such a thing existed!

[03:55:32] <Bytram> honed his skills on a PDP-11 (MACRO 11 was *sweet*), and later on IBM 370 mainframes.
[03:55:53] <Bytram> oh, and could code up some pretty mean 6502 assembly, too!
[03:55:59] <SpallsHurgenson> I remember those days. "Oh yeah, toggle that computer. Flip that bits. Not too fast, not too slow; mmmm, yeah. That's the way you like it, right baby?"

[03:57:03] <SpallsHurgenson> there were worse 8-bits to start on
[03:57:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> no idea what my first one was but it had a BASIC interpreter as its OS
[03:57:38] <SpallsHurgenson> I mean, not many but... :)
[03:57:38] <LancePodstrong> i had a lot of fun on QBASIC
[03:58:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> a tandy maybe? i was like 10 so i don't remember that well.
[03:59:17] <LancePodstrong> the qbasic interpreter i had came with windows 3.11 for workgroups
[03:59:21] <BadCoderFinger> A Timex Sinclair? I think that one had BASIC.
[03:59:33] <BadCoderFinger> And a membrane keyboard.

[04:19:42] <LancePodstrong> december and january are our cloudiest months with about 30% of possible sunshine
[04:19:57] <LancePodstrong> february bout the same 35-40%
[04:20:31] <LancePodstrong> often one goes more than a week without seeing the sun. then, when the sun does come, it's because an arctic front blew over and it's -15F

[05:28:36] <Ethanol-fueled> konomi left because of me.
[05:29:05] <Ethanol-fueled> I had posted a youtube link to a Vaginal Jesus video suggesting racism.
[05:29:09] <LancePodstrong> lol?
[05:29:47] <Ethanol-fueled> I believe the actual song title was, "Slave Runaway / Beat Rodney Down"
[05:30:08] <Ethanol-fueled> But that's NOT FUNNY. Offensive content is never funny.
[05:33:17] <SirFinkus> I was wondering where she went off too
[05:33:21] * SirFinkus shrugs
[05:34:02] <Ethanol-fueled> I felt kinda bad, but somebody who would leave over a person posting links to an edgy band who spends at most 2-3 hours a week here has too thin skin.
[05:35:38] <SirFinkus> I've gotten into it with her a few times, but she didn't seem THAT sensitive
