[14:47:02] <SemperOSS> Hi Bytram, u ~ slepin'?
[14:47:07] <Bytram> yes
[14:47:11] <Bytram> =)
[14:48:16] <SemperOSS> Oh, strange things are happenin' then
[14:48:30] <Bytram> trying to quickly create a story sub as it is running low and I need to be at work within an hour.
[14:48:33] <Bytram> what's up>
[14:48:36] <Bytram> what's up?
[14:48:41] <SemperOSS> Sleepwriting or ghostly, er, ghosts
[14:48:56] <Bytram> is anything wrong with the site?
[14:49:09] <SemperOSS> I wonder if you'd have an eye on s1? (scr v2)
[14:49:21] <Bytram> on what?
[14:49:53] <Bytram> oh, you want me to follow along on a terminal session!
[14:50:17] <Bytram> Wish I could, but am really pressed for time. Can you give a brief synopsis of what seems to be "strange"?
[14:50:19] <SemperOSS> Aye, test the new version and get into trouble
[14:50:41] <Bytram> that's *my* job!
[14:50:45] <Bytram> ~blame
[14:50:46] * exec points at Bytram
[14:50:51] <Bytram> =)
[14:51:09] <SemperOSS> Nah, the strange was you sleeping and still answering on here. ;-)
[14:51:34] <Bytram> aye! would that I were able to do so!
[14:51:43] <SemperOSS> I think the syncopation of our responses got this of to a rather awkward start
[14:52:20] <SemperOSS> Not the first time it has happened to me
[14:52:22] <Bytram> tish-ba-dum?
[14:53:33] <SemperOSS> Er, I, er, am not, er, entirely, sort of, sure, er, that I, er, got that
[14:53:48] <Bytram> Ba-dum. Tish!
[14:54:01] <Bytram> think drums and a cymbal
[14:54:10] <SemperOSS> Well, why didn't you just say that in the first place then?!?!?
[14:54:24] <Bytram> I was giving an example of the syncopation
[14:54:42] <SemperOSS> I thought it was a bit off
[14:55:32] <SemperOSS> Haven't you washed your keyboard recently since the keystrokes are slightly off
[14:55:50] <SemperOSS> Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha
[14:56:30] <SemperOSS> On a slightly more serious note:
[14:56:39] <Bytram> *bit* off? Shoulda changed the polarity of the deflection dish!
[14:57:40] <SemperOSS> My laptop at repair needs a spare part (the whole top, keyboard and all) that may take quite long to get.
[14:58:00] <Bytram> ouch
[14:58:32] <SemperOSS> I'm entitled to a replacement laptop, but my current is no longer available at the retailer where I bought it and have the service contract.
[14:58:40] * Bytram scrounges up a USB keyboard but cannot figure out how to send it through the tubes.
[14:58:51] <Bytram> "or of comparable value" ??
[14:59:32] <SemperOSS> I have looked at replacements and they are either much more expensive, i.e. not available through the contract, or lacking facilities I really like.
[15:00:14] <SemperOSS> What on earth to do? I'm also a bit weary about installing a new one and the possible lack of proper Linux suppoert.
[15:00:36] <Bytram> offer to "trade up"? I'd be willing to chip in $200 with the return for box XYZ
[15:00:46] <Bytram> offer to "trade up"? I'd be willing to chip in $200 together with the return for box XYZ
[15:01:07] <Bytram> offer to "trade up"? I'd be willing to chip in $200 together with the return in exchange for your providing me box XYZ
[15:01:45] * Bytram trying to think and type when under-caffeinated -- is not pretty.
[15:02:38] <SemperOSS> That might be the best option, but I had a cute little box with Ultra-HD+ (or something like that) resolution (3200x1800), all the facilities I needed and I cannot find anything like it in their catalog.
[15:02:48] <SemperOSS> Or on their website.
[15:02:52] <Bytram> groan
[15:03:05] <Bytram> like saying goodbye, forever, to a good friend.
[15:03:44] <SemperOSS> I am imbibing said substance in an extra-strong concoction, so I am good.
[15:03:54] * Bytram has a pocket knife he has carried for *years* and when on rare occasions heads out without it, is like something very important is missing. There's something to be said for a tool that is just right for the task at hand.
[15:04:25] <SemperOSS> And yes, like saying bye to an old friend, who has given me a bit of trouble but otherwise put up with all I threw at it
[15:04:29] <Bytram> speaking of which, I really do need to get going and ready for work.
[15:04:32] <Bytram> 'zactly
[15:05:13] <Bytram> I'd be curious, if you can find a link to your "old friend" if you could email the link to me? my nick (at) soylentnews.org
[15:05:25] <Bytram> that is if you do not want to post it here.
[15:05:35] <Bytram> really gtg.
[15:05:35] <Bytram> afk
[15:05:36] <SemperOSS> Yeah, you have to do what you have to do. Tomorrow I will visit the shop where one of my friends works and lay all my trouble at his feet
[15:06:08] <SemperOSS> See ya' soon. Link will be coming when I find it
[15:06:10] <Bytram> SemperOSS++ sounds like a brilliant plan! (said in his best British voice)
[15:06:10] <Bender> karma - sempeross: 5
[15:06:13] <Bytram> k
[15:06:15] <Bytram> ciao for now

[22:36:54] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - What Really Happened to Malaysia’s Missing Airplane? - http://sylnt.us - truth-is-out-there
[22:41:33] <SemperOSS> I have a suggestion to a poll: What (old-school?) programming language(s) have you used.
[22:42:20] <SemperOSS> After seeing the BASIC marker article, I realised I have had hands on quite a few language, and some of them more obscure than others.
[22:47:59] <SemperOSS> I have used, assembler (S/360, S/36, 4004, 8008, 8080, Z80, 6502, 680x, 680xx, 80x86+, ...) , RPG (Report Program Generator, if my memory serves me), FORTRAN, BASIC, Algol, Pascal, Prolog, PL/1, ADA, C (in a number of versions), PHP, Perl, ...
[22:48:40] <SemperOSS> I'm sure I have forgotten some too (like the RCA 1802 assembler, just now)
