[02:59:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> see, he needs me as his press agent
[03:00:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> "it's not his fault you can't fucking read. eat a dick."
[03:00:41] <chromas> You're hired!
[03:01:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> people need to learn to quit apologizing for other people's failings.

[13:51:51] <FatPhil> TheMightyBuzzard++ for the press agent 'eat a dick' comment
[13:51:51] <Bender> karma - themightybuzzard: 358
[13:54:37] <janrinok> FatPhil, that is a good addition to the RSM story - well played.
[13:57:07] <FatPhil> Theoretically is shouldn't need to be said, but "forwarded it" and "said it" sometimes merge when people are reacting to things.
[13:57:27] <janrinok> true
[13:57:41] <FatPhil> I will admit that I kinda got angry seeing what I knew were lies in that reportage.
[13:58:48] <FatPhil> I bored my g/f half to death ranting about it over lunch!
[13:59:04] <janrinok> I'll bet it will be cold shoulder for dinner then ;)
[13:59:46] <FatPhil> I do dinner prep. And I think there's another episode of Battlebots to watch, so I think dinner will be cool.
[13:59:55] <janrinok> lol - good to hear
[14:14:21] <FatPhil> Hmmm, just wondering if I should just throw all emails with a from or reply-to .xyz domain in the junk folder. What kind of fucknut uses .xyz? nobody I'd ever want to communicate with, surely?
[14:21:34] <janrinok> having never received any emails from .xyz I have no idea if anyone of any interest uses it. I certainly don't know anybody. I would bin them, but the only ones I accept without question are those whose addresses feature in my personal address list.
[14:23:28] <janrinok> just read on wikipedia that .xyz is the fourth most common domain!
[14:30:27] <FatPhil> Bizarrely, that page's last edit was done by someone called Info@XYZRegistry.com
[14:31:21] <FatPhil> But, heck, if I could get rid of 25% of the useless part of the internet instantly, I'd do it!
[14:32:31] <FatPhil> I have noticed more spams passing my filters recently, but they are just much higher quantities of only a few more spams, so can be procmailed away without too much hassle.
[14:32:42] <FatPhil> Yes, I said procmail, sorry.
[14:32:45] <FatPhil> procmail--
[14:32:45] <Bender> karma - procmail: -1
[14:41:42] <janrinok> nothing wrong with procmail - although I haven't used it myself for a decade or more

[18:18:18] <MadSciMemoPad> hello
[18:23:30] -!- MadSciMemoPad has quit [Quit: Web client closed]
[18:29:41] <AndyTheAbsurd> wow, a whole FIVE MINUTES that we didn't respond but he stuck around.
[18:29:46] <AndyTheAbsurd> Must be some kind of a record.
[18:30:40] <Sulla> Is that unusual for they?
[18:41:20] <AndyTheAbsurd> You should see the drop-ins we get at irc.larryniven.org/#knownspace. Lots of people expect a response in 15 seconds (sometimes less) and leave if they don't get one.
[18:41:46] <AndyTheAbsurd> there's nothing but idlers there except on the 1st Saturday of the month.
[18:56:40] <Sulla> that sounds like a fun irc
[19:02:15] <AndyTheAbsurd> I've rarely had time to participate on Saturdays over the last couple of years.
[19:02:25] <AndyTheAbsurd> It's a bunch of old farts but it can still be pretty fun.
[19:03:34] <AndyTheAbsurd> Larry Niven himself shows up regularly - it's nice to see an author participating in such a direct and immediate chat with fans. (And I find it amusing seeing how much difficulty a sci-fi author has dealing with technology.)
[19:09:59] <Sulla> Thats pretty neat. I havent read much of his recent stuff though
[19:10:08] <Sulla> Although I guess the fleet of worlds series ended pretty recently
[19:10:30] <Sulla> not sure if that is in the known space universe though, cant recall
[19:11:27] <AndyTheAbsurd> It is; there's an entire sub-plot set on the Puppeteer homeworld and involving one of their farm worlds.
