(01:29:00) [me]: iis that sarcasm?
(01:29:49) [me]: from Jon's profile (and away message both), something said by Jeremy (presumably to Jon):
(22:25:53) [Jeremy]: you are devilish and evil and embody all that is dark and creepy. you are the master of the bowels of hell, a rival to the great one himself. you absolutely exude evilness and your intelligence and brain power blows mine away. i can't even comprehend your majesty
(01:29:57) [me]: oh yeah, reeeaal safe

(15:52:15) [me]: well that's sent
(15:52:21) [me]: or it's in the quad's outgoing mail
(16:02:45) Adam Batkin: Email not snail mail?
(16:02:54) [me]: snail
(16:03:03) Adam Batkin: Oh thats what you mean by quad's outgoing mail
(16:03:08) [me]: yeah =P
(16:03:23) Adam Batkin: I was wondering why in the world there would be an SMTP server for outgoing mail for your quad
(16:03:29) Adam Batkin: And why it would queue it

(16:08:18) Adam Batkin: GCM is this really complex client-server program that lets you edit the clipboard, modify all sorts of internal properties, probably talk over an XML-RPC or SOAP interface to it and toast your bread, but it can't fucking grab the actual clipboard

Peter, rummaging through the food drawer at work: "Ooh, coffee beans. Those will keep me awake in class. Do you think they're caffeinated?"
me: " ... Probably. I mean, why would Dave have coffee in the office if it weren't caffeinated?"
Peter: "How many do I need?"
me, Adam: [laughter] "Uhm, Peter...."
Peter: [humbled voice] "I'm serious."

(02:37:03) Adam B: What?
(02:37:27) Adam B: Are you saying I wrote OS9?
(02:38:18) Оберон: Yes.
(02:38:20) Оберон: Tell him yes.
(02:42:51) Оберон: Sure.
(02:43:08) Оберон: Perhaps Adam's true calling is less in writing code and more in writing comedy.
(02:44:17) Adam B: It's cool
(02:44:19) Adam B: Maybe he's high
(02:45:32) Оберон: Wow
(02:45:36) Оберон: no wonder everyone was asking us for weed
(02:45:45) Оберон: Adam must be telling people I'm a druggy
(02:46:19) [me]: (this is in reference to the fact that about 3 people have asked me and oberon for weed in the last 2 saturdays)
(02:46:22) Adam B: So I just re-read it
(02:47:13) Adam B: And, well, my first guess still stands
(02:47:27) Adam B: So seriously, what are you talking about, if not OS9
(02:47:32) Adam B: Which I did write, by the way
(02:47:38) Adam B: When you weren't looking
(02:47:39) [me]: no, you see, this is what we're talking about
(02:48:24) Adam B: I don't want you to think that I'm a sexually overactive president, but please define your "this" from that sentence
(02:48:48) [me]: that you wrote OS 9
(02:48:53) [me]: we're acknowledging that
(02:48:51) Adam B: Cause there was definitely no "this" (err, "that") to be referred to
(02:48:59) Adam B: Well, except for that
(02:49:02) Adam B: The OS9 thing
(02:49:06) Adam B: Okay whatever, sure
(02:49:08) Adam B: I'm flattered
(02:49:09) Adam B: Really am
(02:49:13) Adam B: Maybe you are high too
(02:49:25) Adam B: Which would explain why they asked both of you for pot, not just him
(02:51:05) Adam B: Righty-o then
(02:51:14) Adam B: So now, how did I get involved in that conversation?
(02:51:20) Adam B: And why do you think I wrote OS9?
(02:51:27) Adam B: (i.e. how did you find out about that)
(02:52:16) Adam B: Or
(02:52:28) Adam B: More fun could be watching me just type to myself in this pretty IM window
(02:52:42) Adam B: That's cool too
(02:52:47) Adam B: It's like a monologue
(02:52:51) Adam B: With an audience of 1
(02:52:55) Adam B: Well probably 2
(02:53:08) Adam B: Because Oberon is apparently monitoring this somehow too
(02:53:30) Adam B: Maybe through the ssh over unencrypted wireless through vmware and X forwarding
(02:53:32) Adam B: Or whatever that was
(02:53:34) Adam B: But he's watching

Jonathan: "So OS 9 was giving problems, and then the projector blew up."
oberon: "Well, I don't think that was OS 9's fault."
Jonathan: "It probably was. I'd love to be the author of that code."
oberon: "Adam would sue you for stealing his copyrighted code."
Jonathan: "I'm putting that on my quotes page. Adam wouldn't approve of it though."
oberon: "But do you disagree?"
Jonathan: "No, but he won't be happy."

(19:25:03) Adam B: There's only maybe 4 or 5 outside the US that are certified by the US, letting their graduates practice in the US
(19:25:14) Adam B: Glasgow is one of them, which is why we are here
(19:30:25) Adam B: And they speak English here
(19:30:27) Adam B: Sort-of
(19:30:33) Adam B: Close enough
