[20:57] yi: yes, we all know openbsd cures powerfailures ;)
06:23:30 [Laura]: I keep trying to glue the glasses back together, but superglue won't hold them.
06:25:39 [Laura]: i've tried twice, and i'll i've managed to do is glue everything to everything else that i don't want glued.
06:25:48 [Laura]: Like my hand to my mouse. That wasn't fun.
06:26:30 [Laura]: never get super glue on your fingers, and then click on your mouse.

I'll spare you my escapades of sleep-deprived monitor/keyboard plugging-in (let's just say it was like Who's On First), but:
04:21:06 [Tristan]: /me wonders how it shows for jon when he deso it
04:21:24 [me]: it just starts with "/me" and looks like a normal message otherways
04:21:38 [me]: (including your weird metathesis typos)
04:21:47 [Tristan]: llo
01:02:01 [Tristan]: (it occurs to me i've probably spent more money on free software than many people have spent on pay-for software)
21:08:53 [me]: well, I thought "file has vanished" was an interesting way of informing me of it
21:09:09 [oberon]: Well, as far as rsync was concerned, that's what happened
21:09:20 [oberon]: one minute there's a file, the next minute there's not a file
21:09:43 [me]: yeah
21:09:49 [me]: I suppose that could be called vanishing
21:09:51 [oberon]: Would you prefer "file has committed glorious harikari, and will ride the divine wind to its 70 virgins"?
21:11:07 [me]: heh
21:11:08 [me]: yes
21:11:44 [oberon]: So go edit the rsync source =P
21:11:50 [oberon]: or even the binary
21:11:54 [oberon]: just ask grep...
21:12:21 [me]: nah
21:12:28 [me]: I already don't trust rsync
21:12:31 [oberon]: lol
21:12:32 [me]: not going to screw with its binary
21:17:27 [oberon]: Am I the only one who thinks that 70 number is kinda arbitrary?
21:17:33 [oberon]: I've always sorta wondered about that
21:17:43 [oberon]: I mean, it's not like they're all useful at once
21:18:07 [oberon]: The sort of thing you do with virgins is not something you can do with 70 without engineered infrastructure and supports
21:18:37 [oberon]: Is the next verse of the Qu'aran something about "and you will also receive a house so large, it requires 65 people to keep it clean?"
…
21:31:26 [oberon]: That's still counting on an awful lot of women to die virgins
21:31:34 [oberon]: And I don't think infant mortality counts here
21:34:05 [oberon]: Maybe 70 is just an average
21:34:09 [oberon]: and it's really determined by annual ratios
21:34:47 [oberon]: so, like, if you have a string of really unsexy years, 'cause the plague hits or the 70s happen or something, you get more virgins, so everyone gets 71.2 or something
21:35:47 [oberon]: So it's more like "I got 70 virgins*" and then in fine print: "*results not typical. Actual results may vary. Consult your doctor before..."

(03:24:35) Zefram47: if you are good you can make some noises and get it to discon in a few seconds
(03:25:07) [me]: ppp over voice: one language I don't know much of
(03:25:23) [me]: that'd be awesome though
(03:25:32) [me]: I could have im conversations without touching a computer
(03:25:35) Zefram47: could sit there and imitate connection protocols i'm sure
(03:25:37) [me]: then I'd have to know Oscar too
(03:25:42) [me]: indeed
(03:25:52) [me]: I'd have to learn various compression algorithms as well
(03:25:55) [me]: that'd suck
(03:26:12) Zefram47: LOL...too much effort...but the uber cool factor may be worth it :-P
(03:26:24) [me]: yeah, I'll have to consider that one for a while

(03:31:40) Aarón: ok, i think I'M the paranoid schizophrenic, not your screenshot
(17:14:36) [me]: I wonder if Turkish F-type keyboards are related to Turkish F-type prisons
(17:14:49) kesuari: ? i think the F comes from first letter
(17:14:54) [me]: oh
(17:15:07) [me]: what about the prisons?
(17:15:17) kesuari: they probably don't have any keys

03:47:28 [Tristan]: my possibly faulty brain
03:47:37 [me]: well, where'd you get it before that
03:47:41 [me]: cause that sounds basically right
03:47:59 [Tristan]: my possibly faulty brain is getting a DNS resolution failure on that.
(00:37:21) Оберон: Judging by Anna's reaction, my interpretive "Farm in the Dell" dance won't seem nearly so artistic at !(about to fall asleep) o'clock.

(00:40:28) Оберон: fomgers...typing...cheese stands alone.
Nat: "Look at the specs; it turns out that a lot of the examples out there are wrong. I had a lot of trouble until I checked the specs."

20:58:04 [me]: *moves to Iceland*
20:58:15 [Tristan]: what, you can do that just by saying it over IM? :)
20:58:27 [me]: hey, it was a performative sentence :)
20:58:40 [Tristan]: iceland has the 7th highest GDP per capita, apparently
20:58:46 [Tristan]: performative?
20:58:52 [Tristan]: (is that a word?)
20:59:04 [me]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performative
20:59:08 [me]: wikipedia thinks so :)
21:00:20 [Tristan]: hm, interesting, so by saying "*moves to iceland*" it actually caused you to move to iceland? :)
21:01:15 [Tristan]: *moves to iceland*
21:01:20 [Tristan]: nah, didn't seem to work :(
21:01:29 [Tristan]: obviously not a perfomative in my dialect :)

(19:03:26) Оберон: ...though technically "steal" may not be the right verb.
(19:03:39) Оберон: perhaps "mash into itty bitty two dimensional pieces" would be better.
(19:03:43) Оберон: But "steal" is a lot easier to type

(01:33:22) Amanda: do you see them?

(23:38:38) kesuari: hah! people still use winamp. how cute. you should cage him, etc.
(23:27:50) kesuari: (also, it's annoying for people on dialup, because it makes it take much longer to download)
(23:28:00) kesuari: (but that's largely no longer a concern in the west)

(05:55:22) [me]: it processed semantically something like "bloke" would've in that context :-P

01:04:04 [Jonathan]: I'm a linux person, I just use a mac
01:04:17 [Jonathan]: because it's more convenient on portable hardware for now
01:04:26 [Jonathan]: I hear most of the issues I had with linux on here have cleared up
01:04:37 [Jonathan]: so I might go back to linux, but I'm thinking of waiting until the fall
01:04:46 [Jonathan]: though I did just clear enough HD space for it I think
01:04:50 [Tristan]: you should do it now, for your health
01:05:03 [Trstian]: when i'm using the mac, i always do stupid things like type in the wrong window
01:05:18 [Tristan]: "my cursors on that bloody window, how come i can't type oh shit i've just deleted all the files on my hard drive"

18:31:32 [me]: you using perl 6 already? ;-P
…
18:37:04 [oberon]: Excellent
18:37:08 [oberon]: And no, I'm not using Perl 6
18:37:13 [oberon]: because it DOESN'T FUCKING EXIST
18:38:14 [me]: well, it was one possibility for why what you were doing wasn't working
18:38:24 [me]: that you got Perl 6 from future.sourceforge.net
18:38:35 [me]: and were using that as your primary perl interpreter for some reason
[03:53] Kesuari: yeah, the mac's probably got a command key that'll end the world and another that gives you a million dollars. you just need to find them.

05:44:26 [Tristan]: yes: "bracket oh-oh colon four-four colon twenty-three close bracket tristan colon: i do it all the time"
05:44:58 [me]: hence it being for ims
05:45:10 [me]: and you don't say that
05:45:15 [Tristan]: are you sure?
05:45:20 [Tristan]: have you ever heard me speaking?
05:45:49 [me]: actually, yes, but not conversationally
05:46:05 [me]: though granted you coulda stripped those out of the the recordings I've heard
05:46:10 [Tristan]: yeah, i did

(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."
(05:05:12) Оберон: and don't forget to set your clock back!!!

Jonathan: "What's Microsoft encumbered technology?"

(04:37:47) Оберон: you want to play too?
(04:37:50) Оберон: You can follow along.
(04:38:13) Оберон: So far, it looks highly suspcious
(04:38:27) Оберон: unless pango traditionally installs in under 10 seconds and doesn't depend on libfreetype
(04:38:36) Оберон: What do you think, Jim?
(04:38:41) Оберон: Well Bob, I've never seen Pango do *that* before.

(00:14:05) [redacted]: about the 4
(00:14:11) [redacted]: tell me you were kidding

(22:40:51) Aaron: c:\store
c:\store\run
(21:08:48) Оберон: you should link that new quote to the old one
(21:08:51) Оберон: or it's not funny
(21:09:00) [me]: and how do you propose I do that?
(21:09:40) Оберон: ...with this "hypertext markup language" thing which is all the rage nowadays?
(21:10:08) Оберон: see, you use an "anchor tag", and then you give it a "property" called the "href" which...
(21:10:27) Оберон: y'see, Jon, when a mommy webpage and a daddy webpage really love eachother...
(21:10:33) Оберон: ...not sure where that last bit came from
(21:10:38) Оберон: but it seemed appropriate
(21:11:19) Оберон: perhaps because at this point I expect you to know at least as much about HTML as you do about sex
(21:11:24) Оберон: hell, at this point, you should know a lot more

(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
(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
(01:27:22) Adam Batkin: Legal or pirated?
(01:27:28) [me]: hah, like it'd be legal
(01:27:36) Adam Batkin: Where do you get it?
(01:27:45) [me]: Jon Sagotsky and Jeremy Kolb
(01:28:10) Adam Batkin: That sounds safe
(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

Sun 15 Jun:
(07:59:37) SeanEgn: no we don't
(08:02:50) [me]: oh? something I did...?
(08:03:10) [me]: or a gtk2 problem?
(08:03:45) SeanEgn: It's just that we don't really need to do anything
(08:04:04) [me]: oh, true :-P
(08:04:35) [me]: well, I found that 0.64 crashed every 10 mins or so using waimea as a wm, and now with xfwm4 only crashes once every couple hours.
(08:04:43) [me]: so I'm sticking with xfwm4 for now
(08:05:08) [me]: but 0.64 definitely has some issues that should be resolved eventually
(08:05:44) [me]: and as long as you're on the line, I have a question: is there any way to merge multiple instances of the same buddy, like 0.60 did?
(08:06:05) SeanEgn: 0.60 didn't do that
(08:06:09) [me]: it did for me
(08:06:17) SeanEgn: nope, you're wrong
(08:06:20) [me]: I have a cvs version in /opt that I can start up to prove it
(08:06:42) SeanEgn: How does a cvs version prove what 0.60 did?
(08:06:57) [me]: okay, *my* version of 0.60 does
(08:07:11) [me]: I think once you guys merged the edit buddies window and the online buddies window you got rid of that "feature" / "bug"
(08:07:11) SeanEgn: no, no version of 0.60 ever merged buddies
(08:07:15) [me]: mine did
(08:07:29) SeanEgn: No, stop being contrary and wrong.
(08:07:41) [me]: you're the one being contrary and wrong
(08:07:48) [me]: maybe you never saw it do that
(08:07:50) [me]: but it does for me
(08:07:51) SeanEgn: I'm the one who's going to stop talking to you
(08:07:59) [me]: okay, take care then
(16:27:22) kesuari: is *that* what causes that bug?
(16:27:27) kesuari: i hadn't worked it out yet
(16:27:30) kesuari: but you could easily be right!
(16:27:33) [me]: that's what I assumed it was
(16:27:36) [me]: and of course I'm right
(16:27:50) kesuari: including about all the contradictory things you might've said about l/n?
(16:28:02) [me]: that's all just theory
(16:28:07) [me]: there's no way to be right for sure ;)
(16:28:21) kesuari: but if you contradict yourself, you must be wrong
(16:28:32) [me]: no, just stating theories
(16:28:32) kesuari: especially if you begin the contradiction by saying "oh, i was wrong before"
(16:28:39) [me]: have I said that?
(16:28:42) [me]: .. probably actually
(16:28:43) kesuari: i don't know
(16:28:45) kesuari: i'm assuming you have
(16:28:50) kesuari: because it makes my theory make you look bad

(16:56:16) [me]: at least that's where it bothers me the most
(16:59:13) thecartographers: hm, that sounds bad
(16:59:31) [me]: well, it's not bad in that it breaks anything really
(16:59:36) thecartographers: i'm sure it's been discussed ad nauseum in the past, and everyone knows it's important
(16:59:38) [me]: it just makes me feel like I'm drunk when doing things
(16:59:46) thecartographers: it breaks thinsg for people who can't use mice...
(16:59:50) [me]: true
(17:00:00) [me]: or who just don't :-P
(17:02:08) thecartographers: yeah but gnome people, who are in charge of gtk for better or worse
(17:02:14) thecartographers: don't care about what you want, jsut what you can do
(17:02:34) thecartographers: if you say "i can't use the mouse" then they accomodate: if you say "i won't use the mouse" then they say "use kde"
(17:03:31) thecartographers: and then you say "now i've tried using kde, but i've gone blind from the hideous sight. can you accomodate me?" and they'll say "yes, but you can still use your hands, so you only get a text-to-speech engine system, but no outlines on the buttons"
(16:45:11) cassowary: he was being a prick and thought putting a smiley on would make him not a prick
(16:45:19) [me]: yeah
(16:45:22) [me]: people do that a lot
(16:45:27) [me]: I know people who do that irl
(16:45:46) cassowary: what, they say "you're an idiot colon closing bracket"?
me: "What happened to that banana?"
my mother: "They missed with the flame thrower they were using to kill the bugs."
(15:29:05) kesuari: it referred to using powerpoint on a mac

(20:07:46) [redacted]: there is not one single redeeming quality about the interface
(20:07:49) [redacted]: except that you can see it
(20:07:53) [redacted]: like, that it's not covered in black
(20:07:57) [redacted]: that's the only redeeming quality
(20:08:00) [redacted]: that you can see it
"Wait, what's this a commercial for? It's a waste of paper and it's inconvenient!"
(screen shows "USPS")
"Oh, of course."

Jonathan: "Yeah, I've found that a lot of linguists aren't good at dealing with computers [e.g., writing transducers]."
Fran: "And most computer people aren't good with linguistics."
Jonathan: "Yeah, there aren't many who can cross over to the other side well. I think most of us are sitting in this room."
Fran: "And the other's coming on Tuesday."
Fran: "You've convinced me that it's time for me to learn a real Cyrillic keyboard layout."
Jonathan: "Yeah, I can't believe you still use a transliterated keyboard. How do you do non-Russian Cyrillic letters?"
Fran: "I copy-paste them. It sucks."
Jonathan: "But how many languages have you worked on that use Cyrillic?"
Fran: "Most of them."

(17:29:40) sushain: their philosophy of decentralization sort of requires everyone to download the whole repo :\
(17:29:51) firespeaker: it doesn't necessitate it
(17:29:56) firespeaker: they just force it to
(17:30:14) firespeaker: Thomas Jefferson's idea of decentralisation of libraries

(23:35:17) sushain: (10:35:00 PM) firespeaker: I have some 153px words <- wait, was that random?
(23:35:30) sushain: or do you actually have a 153px word
(23:35:30) firespeaker: i.e., not a good measure of word-length ;)
(23:35:33) sushain: LOL
(23:35:34) sushain: ok
