[00:08:44] <charon_> how's by you?
[00:08:53] <Bytram> the radioisotopes should prolly sign up at Tumbler?
[00:09:20] <Bytram> okay. tired. full day at work and my sciatica acted up, but maid it through my shift, am home, and just finished dinner...

[00:09:37] <Bytram> LOL!
[00:09:56] <Bytram> all in all, am doing okay and trying to take a positive outlook on things.
[00:10:07] <Bytram> there are folks in much worse shape.
[00:10:15] <charon_> yep
[00:10:41] <charon_> i think you need an exoskeleton to support your body. does workman's comp cover that?

[00:28:14] <Bytram> 'popular compiler' == LLVM
[00:30:07] <Fnord666> You think it is?
[00:30:29] <Bytram> I dunno, just saw it in the article
[00:30:59] <Fnord666> always loved the term "middle end". What?
[00:31:16] * Bytram likes it too
[00:32:52] <Bytram> computer folk have an especially well developed sense of humor... Read "Hackers" for some great examples
[00:32:53] <Bytram> back in the day, Digital Equipment Corp (DEC), had an interesting name for the clock in their computer... they called it the "Time Of Year Clock" aka "TOY Clock"
[00:33:20] <Fnord666> nice
[00:34:12] <Fnord666> so how are you today Bytram?
[00:34:34] <Bytram> okay but tired.
[00:35:18] <Bytram> infection is doing well, arm is back to normal size, scaling is cleaning up nicely, saw doc today about the necrotic tissue, have a follow-up in 3 weeks, so looking good on that front
[00:35:29] <Bytram> the sciatica, otoh, has been literally kicking my butt.
[00:36:08] <Fnord666> ouch
[00:36:12] <Bytram> yesterday morning it was very manageable; more troublesome during the end of the day. Today, ached all day long; just brute forced my way through the day.
[00:36:44] <Bytram> still at least I have a leg to have a pain in, yanno?
[00:37:18] <Fnord666> I hear that.
[00:37:26] <Bytram> I had a friend whose knee was amputated just above the knee -- not at all bitter about it -- was one of the most cheerful folk I've ever met.
[00:37:35] <Bytram> so, it's up to me to decide how I want to look at it.
[00:37:57] <Fnord666> How do you have....oh never mind. I get the idea.
[00:38:07] <Bytram> I'll still kvetch a bit, but I'd like to think that once I get THAT out, I'm a bit more level-headed
[00:38:18] <Fnord666> A lot of things are like that. It's all in how you look at it.
[00:38:47] <Bytram> problem is, my patience and tolerance take a hit -- is hard to be kind and gentle when it feels like someone is squeezing the crap out of one of your legs or buttocks
[00:39:09] <Bytram> but, that to, is just a matter of practice and perspective.
[00:39:19] <Bytram> I console myself knowing that this, too, shall pass..
[00:39:24] <Fnord666> Tis challenging though.
[00:39:56] <Bytram> and I've been amazed at the number of people whom I've told that I have sciatica who immediately reply with their personal experiences and commiserations
[00:40:16] <Bytram> yes, it is certainly NOT something that I'd have volunteered for!
[00:40:42] <Fnord666> If you had I'd hate to see what the alternative was.
[00:40:56] <Bytram> excellent point
[00:40:57] <mechanicjay> Bytram: no time to talk, but sorry for your troubles and really glad to hear you're on the mend!
[00:41:07] <Bytram> mechanicjay: !!
[00:41:16] <Fnord666> howdy mechanicjay!
[00:41:18] <Bytram> hey, really quick... are you our "mail admin"
[00:41:19] <Bytram> ?
[00:41:45] <mechanicjay> Bytram: More or less
[00:41:54] <mechanicjay> more than less really
[00:41:58] <mechanicjay> it's my brainchild
[00:42:03] <mechanicjay> for better or worse
[00:42:35] <Bytram> LOL! if so, any chance to get a bunch of test email addies created? test_user_0000 ... test_user_0009? No hurry, but would be really handy when doing things like writing automation to moderate comments, etc.
[00:43:00] <Bytram> is that an "easy peasy" or, "ya gotta be kidden me"?
[00:43:04] * Bytram has no idea
[00:43:10] <mechanicjay> pretty darn easy
[00:43:21] <mechanicjay> you want real mailboxes, or can they all be aliased to one?
[00:43:32] <Bytram> hmmm
[00:43:41] <Bytram> excellent question
[00:44:06] <Bytram> I think it best to have separate mailboxes
[00:44:19] <Bytram> that way replies look and behave naturally
[00:44:39] <mechanicjay> cool. Drop me an email with a list of the accounts you want.
[00:44:54] <Bytram> mare sea
[00:45:23] <Bytram> use the addy in your user profile?
[00:45:56] <mechanicjay> erm, yes?
[00:46:00] <Bytram> yep, that's what I'll use. brb
[00:46:49] <charon_> there's our bytram, hassling the admins again
[00:53:09] <Bytram> mechanicjay: email on its way
[00:54:04] <mechanicjay> cool. If you don't hear back on that in 24 hours please harass me about it.
[00:54:41] <Bytram> like I said in the email not a huge rush; doubt I'll be able to much of anything with 'em before Tursday at the earliest.

[08:38:19] <prospectacle> I know someone who's written a book which I've really enjoyed, and yet hardly anyone has read it cause it wasn't promote at all
[08:38:59] <prospectacle> Sometimes I feel the same way about soylent news. It's a good site in itself and has good ideals behind it (the two aren't completely separate), but growth is low because it's not promote (as far as I can tell)
[08:40:16] <prospectacle> Just hypothetically, is it rude or problematic to buy ads for someone else's website. Like if I made a good adwords account to promote soylentnews, just hypothetically mind you. Would that be good/bad/neutral as far the operators are concerned, do you think?
[08:40:59] <prospectacle> On another note it looks like my d key or finger doesn't work, the word is spelt "promoted"
