[11:42:27] <FatPhil> is there a bare-bones command line X utility which will just pop up a notification window temporarily?
[12:06:10] <AndyTheAbsurd> zenity has a timeout option that might be worth playing with.
[12:11:45] <cmn32480> ugh... I wish I didn't ahve to come back to work today
[12:21:52] <AndyTheAbsurd> You didn't buy enough lottery tickets, then. If you'd won the big jackpot, you wouldn't have to come in to work ANY day. :-P
[12:36:49] <cmn32480> your logicv is sound...
[12:36:56] <cmn32480> the odss or winning are pretty good right?
[12:37:05] * cmn32480 thinks about getting a really big loan

[13:04:23] <Bender> karma - coffee: 4526
[13:04:53] <Bytram> this is... strange.
[13:05:30] <Bytram> I just loaded the main page and see no sidebar slashboxes on the LHS... is anyone else seeing any wonkiness?
[13:07:25] * Bytram is gonna bounce the servers on hydrogen and fluorine and see if that helps.
[13:08:19] <AndyTheAbsurd> Bytram: looks fine for me. Right and left sides are both as expected.
[13:08:27] <Bytram> huh!
[13:08:38] <Bytram> thanks for the feedback!
[13:08:42] <Bytram> hydrogen first,
[13:09:31] <Bytram> hydrogen done; and now on to fluorine
[13:10:13] * Bytram refreshed main page and still no change yet
[13:10:29] <AndyTheAbsurd> caching of some kind?
[13:10:42] <Bytram> that's why I'm bouncing the servers
[13:10:55] <Bytram> stops and restarts varnishd
[13:11:21] <Bytram> no joy
[13:11:49] <Bytram> so, that suggests that a minor change to my preferences that I made this AM may have not entirely been what I expected.
[13:11:51] <Bytram> :(
[13:15:40] <Bytram> ahhh, I had inadvertently toggled on the "Low Bandwidth" checkbox on the "homepage" tab of https://soylentnews.org
[13:15:41] <upstart> ^ 03Log In
[13:15:55] <Bytram> toggled off and all looks well on the main page =)

[13:21:45] * exec quickly internalizes a toilet bowl of lucky charms in Bytram
[13:22:01] * Bytram is flush with success?
[13:22:16] * TheMightyPhone chuckles
[13:23:38] <TheMightyPhone> killin some time until the hospital opens so i can go get this sinus infection seen to.
[13:23:59] <Bytram> TheMightyPhone: FYI: was seeing some wonkiness on the main page - LHS slashboxes were not displaying - bounced hydrogen and fluorine; no joy. The found out a minor change I'd made to my preferences this AM inadvertently including turning on the "Low Bandwidth" checkbox... unchecked and all is well.
[13:24:04] <Bytram> thot you'd like to know
[13:24:13] * Bytram passes a box of tissues
[13:24:28] <TheMightyPhone> i figure a year of waiting to see if it'll clear up on its own is long enough
[13:25:07] <Bytram> dunno what it is but there's lotsa folks where I work with runny noses, coughing up phlegm, sinus pressure -- 'tis the season I guess... wait a whole year?
[13:25:14] <Bytram> yeah, doh!
[13:25:35] <Bytram> good luck in getting it checked out and for a proper diagnosis and prognosis!
[13:26:01] <Bytram> would luv to chat more but needs to be at work in an hour... time to get myself ready.
[13:26:04] <TheMightyPhone> keep track of steps to reproduce and stuff em in an issue. much to be done before i can get to it.
[13:26:11] <Bytram> not a bug
[13:26:19] <Bytram> was a PEBKAC
[13:27:02] <TheMightyPhone> fungal i think. no fever or spreading outside the general area
[13:27:04] <Bytram> I unintentionally checked a checkbox when updating my preferences; undid that and all is well.
[13:27:09] <Bytram> nod nod
[13:27:11] <TheMightyPhone> ahh
[13:27:11] <Bytram> that's good
[13:27:16] <Bytram> choo!
[13:27:56] <Bytram> really gtg get ready... afk
[13:28:21] <TheMightyPhone> plus it has me clearer than normal, just hurting and affecting my balance
[13:28:22] <Bytram> dunno if I'll have time to check in before I head out the door.
[13:28:31] <TheMightyPhone> yep, later
