(23:26:32) matthewg: Fah, real men telnet to the X11 port.

(23:19:24) oberon: BTW, speaking of Gentoo -- portage is coming to OSX!

(23:19:43) firespeaker: so you're going to be running portage + apt on OSX?

(23:19:49) oberon: no

(23:19:54) oberon: portage + apt + darwinports

(23:20:17) oberon: Yeah, if you wanna see a stable OSX box...find someone else's =P

(23:20:26) oberon: Oh, let's not forget all the libs I custom-compile.

(23:20:39) oberon: It's Debia-Gent-Mac O-Slackware!

(20:09:08) Kathryn: i might not be able to understand it, but i know french when i hear it

(20:09:15) Kathryn: it's like pornography

(22:54:11) Verdant Forest: I remember when I first started using AOL when I was 10...

(22:54:27) Verdant Forest: I would go into chatrooms and people would be saying "IM me! im me!" and I would just wonder

(22:54:37) Verdant Forest: Why do they need to clarify that they are themselves?

(21:08:34) Kathryn: i do my best to come up with terminology others can only come up with while under the influence of other things

(02:45:01) [me]: hm, I have class in less than 6 hours

(02:45:15) [Shreyas]: yeah, i should go to bed or something too

(02:47:12) [me]: what timezone you in?

(02:47:17) [Sheryas]: eastern

(02:47:25) [me]: oh lord

(02:47:34) [me]: you must be at home

(02:47:53) [me]: (at home, meaning have nothing better to do than stay online all night =P)

(02:47:59) [Shreyas]: yes.

(02:48:03) [Shreyas]: i couldn't sleep

(02:48:17) [Shreyas]: visions of sugarplums, strange white birds, that kind of thing

(01:58:21) [Shreyas]: played?

(01:58:48) [me]: by Natlihah

(01:58:58) [me]: she just wants to distill her guilt

(01:59:19) [me]: I don't think she really cares about them that much

(01:59:40) [me]: I'm not sure if this actually results in anything bad down the road

(01:59:43) [me]: but I suspect it will

(01:59:47) [Shreyas]: that's deeply comforting

(02:00:17) [Shreyas]: on an unrelated note, i just realized that an inertialess spaceship could be fabulously agile

(02:00:45) [me]: rofl, I suppose so

(02:00:50) [me]: good luck designing one

(02:01:19) [Shreyas]: i'll put it on the "rpgs to write" list

(02:01:41) [Shreyas]: right after the one about people who can see into the future as if it's just another spatial dimension

(02:01:52) [me]: heh

(02:04:06) [Shreyas]: it's got a lot of dangerous metaphysics behind it, actually. i'm imagining that futeresight is analogous to depth perception: it takes information you have and derives data from it, via some unconscious, hypercompetent capacity

(02:05:08) [Shreyas]: unfortunately for our prophets, futuresight has to work on their knowledge of things, so they can see any appreciable distance only in familiar situations populated by familiar things

(02:05:50) [Shreyas]: and anytime something unexpected happens, the prophetic capacity has to readjust

(22:42:55) [me]: yeah, vxptj. It's a bunch of sounds together that could almost be russian but not quite

(22:43:01) [Vickie]: oh that means "gurgle" i guess...but not really its the sound of water running over rocks in a stream

(23:11:40) Kathryn: why does everyone think i have power over everyone else?

(23:11:48) Kathryn: scott thinks i can make you do things

(23:11:55) Kathryn: you think i can make scott do things

(23:12:03) Kathryn: i have no power!

(22:38:28) [me]: did you get that song?

(22:38:35) [Kathryn]: yes

(22:39:40) [Kathryn]: shit

(22:39:41) [me]: what do you think?

(22:39:46) [Kathryn]: this is a good song

(22:39:55) [me]: =)

(22:40:33) [Kathryn]: Jesus

(22:40:40) [Kathryn]: you know my taste in men and in music

(22:40:43) [Kathryn]: that's creepy
