[17:55:19] <cmn32480> or at least I do
[17:54:26] <cmn32480> we aim to be as useless as possible
[17:53:22] <Fnord666> Thank you both for your feedback. I appreciate it.
[17:47:00] <Fnord666> good point
[17:46:42] <takyon> it's just that the event I was reporting on was a proposed bid, not an actual boid
[17:46:24] <takyon> that's fine
[17:46:24] <Fnord666> ok
[17:46:22] <takyon> no
[17:46:08] <Fnord666> takyon - did you want the text for the cnbc link updated as well? "Kraft Heinz may make a formal offer by March 17th."
[17:43:37] <cmn32480> and left the rest for the community to beat on
[17:43:27] <cmn32480> fixed the [...] that he leaves out
[17:43:17] <cmn32480> fixed his crappy links
[17:43:09] <cmn32480> not a lot
[17:42:38] <Fnord666> Looking forward to seeing what you did with it
[17:42:16] <Fnord666> on to the antarctica story....
[17:41:05] <Fnord666> :)
[17:41:00] <cmn32480> but you did.. and that is good enough
[17:40:48] <Fnord666> they might not admit it though.
[17:40:26] <cmn32480> I figured at least a few people would get the reference
[17:40:06] <cmn32480> good
[17:40:03] <Fnord666> yes
[17:39:56] <takyon> yup
[17:39:49] <cmn32480> you got the joke?
[17:39:29] <Fnord666> nice dept BTW
[17:38:24] <cmn32480> I'm good with the clickbait part being after the fold, as it won't be clickbaity at that point.. they've already looke at the article
[17:38:19] <takyon> you're welcome
[17:38:18] <Fnord666> :)
[17:38:10] <Fnord666> cool. thank you.
[17:38:07] <takyon> when I add clickbait it's for meme/irony purposes
[17:37:57] <exec> <Fnord666> Not yours specifically takyon but there are some submitters that I might expect clickbait from.
[17:37:55] <sedctl> <Fnord666> Not yours specifically takyon but there are some submitters that I might expect clickbait from.
[17:37:55] <Fnord666> s/clockbait/clickbait/
[17:37:51] <cmn32480> stylistic choice by the submitter
[17:37:44] <Fnord666> Not yours specifically takyon but there are some submitters that I might expect clockbait from.
[17:37:08] <Fnord666> ok. Just inquiring to understand where we, as SN, stand on that sort of headlines, teasers for links, etc.
[17:35:11] <takyon> it's a reward for clicking on the article and reading the full summary
[17:35:09] <Fnord666> damn, missed a good quote there
[17:34:57] <Fnord666> I was considering moving that line above the fold but it's a little "you wont believe what happened next!!!" ish
[17:34:53] <takyon> ehehehehehhe
[17:34:48] <cmn32480> interesting
[17:34:36] <takyon> I couldn't care less where the fun part goes.
[17:34:29] <cmn32480> as I did NOT reformat it
[17:34:20] <cmn32480> so heaping the blame on you is accurate
[17:34:04] <takyon> ah
[17:33:56] <cmn32480> it's your sub
[17:33:43] <takyon> what are you blaming me for, smn69480?
[17:33:36] <Fnord666> takyon - I will
[17:33:28] <takyon> I think that more accurately reflects what Kraft Heinz did
[17:33:17] <cmn32480> blame takyon.. he formatted it
[17:33:14] <Fnord666> as a stylistic choice are we considering it too lowbrow to drop that above the fold
[17:33:14] <takyon> in the kraft story, can you change "makes" to "proposes" and "made" to "proposed"
[17:32:54] <Fnord666> you've got a little teaser "Now for the fun part." in there but it's below the fold
[17:32:54] <takyon> fnord666
[17:32:24] <cmn32480> ok
[17:32:18] <Fnord666> small question about the Unilever story and formatting
[17:31:55] <Fnord666> lol
[17:31:49] <cmn32480> am I about what?
[17:31:36] <Fnord666> cmn32480 you about?

[02:56:28] <charon> hiyo mrpg
[02:56:18] <Bytram> there is a very special skill to being able to create plausible words that also happen to appear in your dictionary
[02:56:16] <charon> still know all the ridiculous throws

[02:55:51] <charon> i played ultimate, but i was too slow to be good
[02:55:37] <Bytram> ;)
[02:55:24] <Bytram> instead of rugby or ultimate, I played scrabble
[02:54:56] <Fnord666> true
[02:54:16] <charon> Fnord666: i believe it, rugby players are crazy and big. but ultimate players are amazingly fast and willing to lay out for a catch, so they're batshit too
[02:54:11] <paulej72> i have no idea where that second o came from
[02:53:51] <paulej72> double youm
[02:53:42] <Fnord666> cajun chicken salad
[02:53:30] <paulej72> chicken salad on a pita, yum
[02:52:43] <Fnord666> ok that sounds like a major PITA
[02:52:40] <charon> timf to dump it on an accountant and take a nap
[02:52:17] <cmn32480> but for my taxes, I ahve to figure out the business vs personal miles, and what the company pays out vs. what the IRS says I ought to get
[02:52:12] <Fnord666> charon - re ultimate frisbee. When I was in college I played Rugby. The ultimate team practiced on the field between us and the lacrosse team. They looked intimidated most days..
[02:52:09] <paulej72> but there are so many of them
[02:51:52] <cmn32480> yes
[02:51:40] <charon> don't you submit after every trip?
[02:51:20] <Fnord666> ?
[02:51:17] <Fnord666> Don't they have an app for that on your smart phone.
[02:50:54] <cmn32480> I think tallying the mileage is the worst part of doing my taxes
[02:50:53] <Bytram> and, in SOWPODS, too
[02:50:42] <Bytram> hmm, just found it in the OSPD (Official Scrabble Players Dictionary) word list
[02:50:42] <paulej72> check the words with friends db and see how often it has been played
[02:50:41] <charon> working from memory on letter scores
[02:50:30] <Fnord666> about there, yes
[02:49:57] <Fnord666> but they are 4 points each so worth it to get them
[02:49:54] <charon> not very high scoring though. what, 25 before bonus?
[02:49:40] <Fnord666> getting three though
[02:49:33] <paulej72> blanks
[02:49:23] <Fnord666> there are 4
[02:49:16] <Bytram> would be nice, but I am not sure there are enough "Y"s available
[02:48:49] <Fnord666> or use it in scrabble
[02:48:35] <Bytram> I was prolly just barely a teen when I read that
[02:48:25] <charon> the college i went to had an ultimate frisbee team called that. so it has always stuck with me
[02:48:10] <Bytram> aha! found where I first encountered "Brennschluss" -- "The science fiction novel Rip Foster Rides the Gray Planet (1952) written by Harold L. Goodwin (under the pseudonym Blake Savage)"
[02:47:30] <Fnord666> the basic 5 I mean
[02:47:27] <charon> using that in hangman is a murdering offense
[02:47:16] <Fnord666> when people get thru all the vowels and still have nothing ....
[02:46:52] <exec> [google] https://en.wikipedia.org
[02:46:50] <Bytram> ~g syzygy
[02:46:34] <Bytram> =)
[02:46:31] <Bytram> Fnord666: yes, you met two at once
[02:46:28] <charon> time of closest approach of some sort
[02:46:22] <Bytram> good enough
[02:46:13] <charon> something something conjugation of heavenly bodies
[02:45:58] <Bytram> charon: now, can you explain what it means?
[02:45:54] <Fnord666> I have never met anyone who knows that word before
[02:45:51] <Bytram> charon: spelling: A+
[02:45:37] <charon> am i good or what?
[02:45:34] <Bytram> Es gibt worte das man solte kennen, nicht wahr?
[02:45:30] <Fnord666> holy crap
[02:45:21] <charon> syzygy
[02:45:13] <Fnord666> for instance my favorite word for critical games of hangman
[02:44:58] <Fnord666> There are some words that need to be known though
[02:44:46] <Bytram> wzsn't GR -- could well have been H. or more likely asimov or clarke
[02:44:24] <charon> i shall never need this word
[02:44:16] <Fnord666> or a Heinlein book.
[02:43:36] <Fnord666> probably read it in Gravity's Rainbow
[02:43:08] <exec> brennschluss: unable to find definition
[02:43:06] <Bytram> ~define brennschluss
[02:43:06] <Fnord666> main engine cutoff basically
[02:42:56] <exec> [google] https://en.wikipedia.org
[02:42:54] <Bytram> ~g brennschluss
[02:42:42] <Bytram> sounds like it
[02:42:36] <Fnord666> brennschluss
[02:42:27] <Bytram> nah... recall reading an SF story as a teen where that term appeared
[02:42:17] <charon> ninja'd
[02:42:15] <Bytram> lol
[02:42:13] <charon> ghesuntheit
[02:42:08] <Fnord666> gesundheit?
[02:41:54] <Bytram> brenschluss (sp?)
[02:41:48] <Fnord666> or use aero braking at the other end and shed velocity as heat
[02:41:15] <Fnord666> Then flip it and slow back down
[02:41:14] <charon> then you turn around and slow down after you get halfway
[02:41:10] <Bytram> then again, the distances are "pretty big", too
[02:40:50] <Bytram> not quite. Starts very, very slowly, but then constantly accelerates -- that can build up quite a bit of speed
[02:40:32] <Fnord666> they did call it the "Long March"
[02:39:59] <paulej72> really really slowly
[02:39:43] <charon> flying to jupiter with the em drive
[02:39:28] <exec> <Bytram> <cmn32480> making weightless woopie

[02:36:40] <Bytram> Fnord666: s/co/doc/
[02:36:33] <paulej72> although pma3 was only used when they installed it and moved it a few times
[02:36:16] <Fnord666> looks like the ESA has a new universal coking mech design in the works
[02:35:43] <paulej72> PMA2 and PMA3 are still there where shuttle used to dock.
[02:35:18] <paulej72> there are ususually one or two russinal docks available and I am not sure how many common docking berths are available
[02:35:15] <Bytram> nice to know
[02:34:24] <paulej72> dragon mates to common docking port, progress mates to russing docking ring
[02:34:11] <Bytram> IIRC, there is a soyuz still docked there in case they need to make an emergency evacuation
[02:33:50] <Bytram> how many EMPTY docking rings
[02:33:46] <paulej72> shit ton
[02:33:38] <paulej72> its more about time for docking procedures and such
[02:33:35] <Fnord666> how many docking rings does the ISS have?
[02:33:11] <Bytram> I cn't imagine the astronauts unloading one of them before the next one arrived
[02:33:00] <paulej72> progress resuppl can do a week to get on station
[02:32:52] <Bytram> obviously, both will need to be docked at the same time
[02:32:33] <paulej72> wow that is tight, but one of them is probably taking the long way
[02:32:32] <Bytram> Fnord666: how'd you know? Oh, you were talking about YOUR maps... mine were, too.
[02:32:25] <Fnord666> Bytram - the Q2 flight lists the customer as SpaceX with no mission payload listed
[02:31:55] <Bytram> so, wait a sec... there is a cargo resupply (SpaceX) leaving Feb 18 AND a cargo resupply (Soyuz) leaving Fed 22, too?!?!!
[02:31:26] <Fnord666> the maps are drawn on the back of green fanfold
[02:31:10] <Fnord666> played on a teletype
[02:30:35] <Bytram> this was back in the days before IBM came out with its PC
[02:29:51] <Bytram> each required an ingenious technique to navigate them, and, of course, one HAD to navigate them successfully in order to get a perfect score
[02:29:35] <paulej72> never palyed more than a few minutes
[02:29:10] <Bytram> spoiler: there were actually two mazes
[02:28:25] <Fnord666> Somewhere in the bowels of my office are all of my maps, including the twisty passages.
[02:28:22] <Bytram> orange you glad?
[02:28:22] <cmn32480> mine is full of jelly
[02:28:13] <paulej72> my naval is full of aircraft carriers
[02:28:08] <Bytram> prolly still have the hand-drawn maps around somewhere
[02:27:59] * Bytram achieved a perfect score of 300 out of 300 after much studious effort of the original colossal cave
[02:27:53] <Fnord666> just says "A SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket will launch on its first demonstration flight."
[02:27:45] * cmn32480 contemplates his naval
[02:27:21] <Fnord666> You're in a maze of twisty ...
[02:27:14] <paulej72> is the demo a real demo or a "paying" flight that can die if needed
[02:27:03] <Bytram> ta-dah!
[02:26:56] <Fnord666> xyzzy
[02:26:47] <Bytram> paulej72: reminded me of the original Colossal Cave... plugh, plover, y2, etc.
[02:26:45] <Fnord666> "A SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket will launch the U.S. Air Force’s Space Test Program-2 mission with a cluster of military and scientific research satellite"
[02:26:34] <Fnord666> Q3 is a payload
[02:26:20] <Fnord666> Q2 is a demo flight.
[02:26:06] <Bytram> well, yes, it depends on the mission, but does the first dragon heavy flight carry [paying] cargo, or is it just that, a demo
[02:25:42] <paulej72> pludge
[02:22:30] -!- mrpg has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[02:21:54] <mrpg> bye all
[02:07:41] -!- charon_ has quit [Quit: excping]
[02:06:54] <charon_> umm, that word should have been escape
[02:06:35] <charon_> worktime over, i am going to excpe while i still can. seeya in a while
[02:05:30] <charon_> but it's a lifetime story to tell
[02:05:17] <charon_> oh, i guess you can't really get too mad at the kid directly for being a curious kid
[02:03:00] <Bytram> just ran over to the operator console... saw the big red button... and like a moth to a flame and before anyone could react: BAM!
[02:02:16] <Bytram> umm, yeah, it was a 2-year-old kid
[01:57:07] <exec> <charon_> and did the presser fess up?
[01:57:04] <sedctl> <charon_> and did the presser fess up?
[01:57:04] <charon_> s/resser/presser/
[01:56:46] <charon_> and did the resser fess up?
[01:47:18] <Fnord666> Yep. There's a reason we had a thick plexi plate screwed over the red button
[01:47:13] <Bytram> not IPL, as in Initial Program Load, but IML as in Initial Microcode Load ... yeah, it not only crashed the server, HARD. It took well nigh forever to reboot.
[01:46:12] * Bytram saw that happen once... at an IBM open house... during a tour of the computer room... at the operator's console of our development team's server... while we were cranking O/T all weekend trying to reach a major deadline... and the button was labelled "RE-IML"
[01:42:34] <Fnord666> baby groot presses the red button
[01:38:04] <charon_> don't press the red button...
[01:30:37] <Bytram> still figuring how to use it, but am making progress
[01:30:25] <Bytram> looks likepaint.net seems to be working w/o a system restart

[01:16:36] <Fnord666> :)
[01:16:31] <cmn32480> I'm relatively good at that
[01:16:23] <cmn32480> no big shock

[01:12:11] <Fnord666> It's probably fine
[01:11:52] <charon_> stupid windows
[01:11:37] * Bytram has 9 editor windows and at least 16 cmd windows open atm, never mind browser, email, etc.
[01:10:28] <Bytram> The computer must be restarted to complete installation.
[01:10:14] <Bytram> oh. joy. joy. joy. :/
[01:04:12] <Fnord666> any code that does care should be taken out behind the barn and put down
[01:03:57] <charon_> also registry keys are already expecting it to be where it first installed
[01:03:47] <Fnord666> correct
[01:03:13] <charon_> no. because who cares what folder it's assigned?
[01:02:51] <Fnord666> if it finds that it has to run in 32 bit mode will it automatically move itself?
[01:02:25] <Bytram> seeimingly
[01:02:19] <Fnord666> So the default was indeed correct.
[01:02:10] <Bytram> Optimizing paint.net's performance for your system. This maytake a minute.
[01:01:05] <charon_> my work content blocker will not allow that page
[01:00:49] <Bytram> Fnord666: kewel! thanks!
[01:00:32] <Fnord666> "Paint.NET will automatically run in 64-bit mode if possible. You must have a 64-bit capable CPU and an x64 edition of Windows."
[01:00:20] <charon_> /dev/null
[00:59:27] * Bytram decides to assume that if it were making a mistake with the install dir, someone else would have reported it and it would have been fixed -- decides to accept the proposed default
[00:58:44] <Fnord666> install it in /usr/bin
[00:58:26] <charon_> install directory is more or less cosmetic, i believe
[00:58:04] <charon_> i think it's both and will run whatever version is appropriate
[00:58:03] <Bytram> C:\Program Files (x86)\paint.net
[00:57:56] <Bytram> or should I put it in:
[00:56:49] <Bytram> it wants to install in c:\Program Files\paint.net
[00:56:36] <Bytram> it wants to install in c:\Program Files\pain.net
[00:56:30] <charon_> possibly both. my older version is 32
[00:56:12] <Bytram> hmmm, is paint.net 32bit or 64bit?

[00:50:51] <mrpg> bye
[00:50:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> laters
[00:50:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> okay, roomie is back with food
[00:50:11] -!- MrPlow [MrPlow!MrPlow@nsa.gov] has joined #editorial
[00:50:11] -!- MrPlow has quit [Changing host]
[00:50:11] -!- MrPlow [MrPlow!MrPlow@Soylent/BotArmy] has joined #editorial
[00:49:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> naming stuff is fun. like the current pull request with the TOS comment mode and all the bug fixes is "arghfuck".
[00:48:20] <charon_> 1668442320
[00:48:12] * TheMightyBuzzard nods to mrpg
[00:48:03] <mrpg> Code Cougar
[00:47:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> like this one could be Spanked Simian
[00:47:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> i think we should code name them
[00:47:09] <charon_> so our releases aren't in raw UNIX Date?
[00:45:50] * charon_ nods
[00:45:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> that's how we version our releases. it's because NCommander lurves him some ubuntu.
[00:45:46] <mrpg> hmmmm ok
[00:44:42] <Fnord666> beyond that we get into scatalogical discussion and while still better, should probably be avoided.
[00:44:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> mrpg, 17_2 means february 2017 not the 17th of february
[00:43:19] <charon_> i admit, less portable
[00:42:37] <charon_> crunching up pigment in your mouth and spitting it onto a cave wall is better than MS paint
[00:42:24] <Fnord666> an etch-a-sketch is also better
[00:41:41] <charon_> a spirograph is better than ms paint
[00:41:24] <Fnord666> still better than mspaint
[00:40:41] <charon_> yeah, i guess i forgot it needs that framework. it was already there for me last time i installed
[00:39:54] <Fnord666> enjoy
[00:39:46] <Bytram> afk
[00:39:46] <Fnord666> or deliberate comment about it's interface
[00:39:43] <Bytram> biab
[00:39:40] <Bytram> prolly... hungry & tired
[00:39:24] <Fnord666> freudian slip?
[00:39:23] <Bytram> so far, that is... it's still downloading
[00:39:08] <Bytram> btw, pain.net is only about 7 MB, but the .net framework it downlkoads is more like 60 MB
[00:38:00] <Bytram> biab
[00:37:57] * Bytram goes in search of sustenance
[00:37:54] <mrpg> one is pleased to serve
[00:37:39] <Bender> karma - mrpg: 8
[00:37:39] <Bytram> mrpg++ Great catch!
[00:37:25] <charon_> #smake MrPlow
[00:37:19] <mrpg> the site update says 2/17 remember to change the title if it is ofr the weekend
[00:37:12] <cmn32480> i like that he left MrPLow dead
[00:37:00] <Fnord666> new band
[00:36:49] <Bytram> is that a new dance? Boogers Woogers?
[00:36:41] * exec theoretically reticulates a subset of string cheese for TheMightyBuzzard

[00:36:35] <cmn32480> ~gngiht TheMightyBuzzard

[00:36:23] <Fnord666> ~gday Bytram

[00:35:50] <charon_> hiyo Fnord666
[00:35:44] <Fnord666> howdy all
[00:35:39] <Fnord666> night TMB
[00:35:28] <charon_> i will never trust a company that misspells its own name
[00:34:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> #mourn
[00:34:43] <charon_> later TMB
[00:34:34] <charon_> poor mrPlow
[00:34:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> okay. nuff for me today. ima eat foods and watch tv
[00:34:13] * cmn32480 giggles
[00:34:09] -!- MrPlow has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[00:34:09] <cmn32480> #submit https://www.ghostery.com
[00:33:44] * cmn32480 looks for that link from yesterday
[00:32:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> except MrPlow. i don't give a rat's ass about MrPlow's bugs.
[00:31:29] * Bytram tries to act as a facilitator
[00:30:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram too cause even if he's not in a position to fix it he's quite good at getting other people to fix things
[00:30:48] <mrpg> you are soycow 345 please wait 99 minutes
[00:30:28] <cmn32480> please hold...
[00:30:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> charon_, it goes to all the devs
[00:30:14] <mrpg> yuor email is important to us, all our developers are busy,
[00:29:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> yall lot are going to end up making me sound like i speak good english or something
[00:29:56] <cmn32480> that is just setting unrealistic exspectations
[00:29:42] <charon_> "and whoever tends that mailbox will get back to you within the fiscal quarter"
[00:29:39] <Bytram> that works! K.I.S.S.
[00:29:28] <mrpg> ... or email us at ...
[00:29:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> works
[00:29:10] <Bytram> "or, if you have issues with registering on a site, send an email to dev@soylentnews.org"
[00:28:46] <mrpg> aaah ok.
[00:28:19] <MrPlow> http://www.getpaint.net - "Paint.NET is free image and photo editing software for computers that run Windows."
[00:28:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> #g paint.net
[00:28:16] <exec> └─ 13Redirecting ...
[00:28:14] <charon_> http://www.getpaint.net
[00:27:57] <Bytram> pardon my ignorance, do you have a link to paint.net readily available, or would it be better for me to just do a search?
[00:27:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh: some people don't like to register with websites
[00:27:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> mrpg, hmm?
[00:27:02] <Bytram> nod nod
[00:26:57] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: many thanks Buzz!
[00:26:57] <charon_> i am recommending a different program
[00:26:50] <Bytram> oh, new thing
[00:26:43] <Bytram> charon_: are you saying this is what I am now running, or are you recommending something else that I should be using?
[00:26:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, got it
[00:26:24] <mrpg> I dont get this "or email them to dev@soylentnews.org if you've issues with ever registering with a site. " --- should be "with even registering with the site ¿?¿?"
[00:26:20] <charon_> pretty lightweight, but nearly as fully featured as photoshop. and free
[00:25:45] <charon_> bytram: paint.NET
[00:25:03] * Bytram had forgotten how limited MS Paint was, and is now finding it even less useful with the new-style ribbon toolbar
[00:24:12] <Bytram> update can be found in #qa
[00:24:08] * cmn32480 thinks about tracking down that rolling donut... 'cuz he's hangry
[00:23:26] <Bytram> np
[00:23:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> no, utterly forgot about it
[00:23:23] <Bytram> or is that just something that comes along for the ride?
[00:23:11] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: just to confirm, did you update the official templates to include a link to the dev server in the SoylentNews slashbox?
[00:22:13] <Bytram> I've been down that path a few time already
[00:22:10] * cmn32480 drains it and cracks open another
[00:22:05] <Bytram> I'm not so much conerned that clicking/changing things will cause problems, but rather will waste people's time trying to use things that have no effect and thinking there is something broken or they are doing something wrong...
[00:21:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's not like it'll hurt anything if we don't use the setting anymore.
[00:21:30] * charon_ passes cmn32480 a beer
[00:21:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, there may still be come cruft left but it can stay there for now.
[00:20:39] * Bytram hasn't looked at it in a few days, but would recommend taking a close look to make sure that user preferences page choices still make sense in light of the changes...
[00:20:15] <mrpg> i'll fix it - Now to the the specifics.
[00:19:50] <mrpg> i found a typo
[00:19:50] * cmn32480 has an attitude problem at the moment and doesn't give a flying fuck at a rolling donut
[00:19:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> okey doke
[00:18:24] <charon_> i just fixed an slightly clunky sentence, otherwise it looks good
[00:16:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> oi, eds, any of yall feel like giving another proofread to the release notes post? had to change stuffs to reflect all the changes in the past week.
[00:16:34] <mrpg> linux munich submission ready, go take a look.
[00:15:30] <cmn32480> I ahven'[t killed anybody... but today I considered it
[00:14:15] <charon_> sounds like you're having a tough week
[00:12:09] <cmn32480> the fickle finger of fate
[00:12:00] <cmn32480> oh I got a slaute for it
[00:11:51] <charon_> run it up the flagpole and see who salutes
[00:11:10] <cmn32480> seems to work for the people I work for
[00:11:04] <cmn32480> just just no logic behind anythign
[00:10:28] * exec points at Bytram
[00:10:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> ~blame
[00:10:19] <charon_> wait, blaming me is the thing that works?
[00:09:52] <cmn32480> like everythign else these days, I have no logic behind it... but the idea seems to work
[00:09:29] * cmn32480 blames charon_
