(21:43) Tristan: you realise of course that what you're doing here is filing bugreports for linguistic theories, which are kind of like computer programs
(21:43) Tristan: so the "maintainers" are probably going to call you mad

"I had this wack dream where somehow we acquired a Soviet starship."
Nathan: "Take his keys."
Me: "He's walking home."
Nathan: "Take them anyway; he might drive his house into something."
"His father's like ‘Don't fly too close to the sun Icharus.’ And he's like ‘This freakin' rocks! Woohoo!’"
"This is not a non-word! [xkɬpltθkʰft] is a non-word."
"You've got the 2nd sound shift here with a vengeance."
(08:48:03) [me]: not what I meant
(08:48:06) Kesuari: i know
(08:48:11) [me]: I know you know
(08:48:18) Kesuari: i know you know i know.
(08:48:25) [me]: I know you know I know you know
(08:48:33) Kesuari: did you though?
(08:48:41) [me]: no :\
(08:48:48) Kesuari: didn't think so :P
(08:49:00) [me]: well, that's why I said it in the first place
(08:49:04) [me]: why I said "I know you know"
(08:49:26) Kesuari: i think i'm lost
18:05:22 [Tristan]: "songs about diachronic OT phonology"? you're mad.
"Here, I'll recite a Pushkin poem. Say one and I'll repeat it."
(19:03:11) Оберон: TV + internet == lots of random news
(19:03:18) Оберон: I've also seen a group of elephants steal a car
(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
14:38:07 [me]: I could see like Laura going through and ranking every quote
14:38:09 [me]: all 700 of them
14:38:17 [Ian]: haha.
14:38:25 [me]: I could even see myself doing that.....
14:38:32 [Ian]: sigh.
14:39:28 [Ian]: Laura's, like, a bit crazy and would do something like that. You doing that would be more like lame.
(18:43:02) [Shreyas]: i like that the first six messages of the proto-uralic thread were from people with first names starting with j
(18:43:25) [Shreyas]: hm, that's not the thread
(18:43:29) [Shreyas]: but there was such a thread
(18:44:24) [Shreyas]: oh, it was the feature geometry thread
(18:44:34) [Shreyas]: still going strong...8.
"But I just knew they'd be all like, 'Man, she stole our crack!'"
"I was like wait a minute, I can taste the alcohol in this, but then I realised it was the grapefruit."
(04:37:43) Оберон: let's play a game of "did the thing the darwinports guy claimed would fix the bug actually fix the bug?"
(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.
(04:38:49) Оберон: But gtk2 is still configuring. Let''s watch.
(04:39:19) Оберон: A new error!
(04:39:21) Оберон: Yippee!
(04:40:02) Оберон: let's play "uninstall, clean, and re-install freetype and pango by hand!"
(04:40:03) Оберон: yay!!
(04:40:14) Оберон: do a little dance, shit on the carpet, get down tonight!
(04:40:30) Оберон: Seriously
(04:40:34) Оберон: Some day I'm gonna hunt down these people
(04:40:35) Оберон: in their homes
(04:40:36) Оберон: and walk in
(04:40:39) Оберон: and shit on their carpet
(04:40:41) Оберон: and then I'll point at it
(04:40:48) Оберон: and yell at them
(04:40:59) Оберон: "That's what your software does to me!"
"Why do people even sleep with each other? With woman it's like death; it's so scary."

(04:17:24) Kesuari: o ... kay... i have come to the conclusion that you, sir, are insane, and forget the difference between yourself and the rest of the world :)
(21:11:53) Kathryn: i think i need to do something about myself. like spray myself with crazy repellent or something
(21:11:58) Kathryn: this is getting out of hand
[Rongrong implies that Jonathan needs to leave.]
Jackie: "A.k.a. 'get the fuck off my computer'."
Rongrong: "A.k.a.? Who's that?"
[Jonathan starts to add quote so far using Rongrong's computer]
Rongrong: "What kind of music you don't like? Britney Spears?"
(22:40:34) Aaron: wow.,.. i'm a dork.. i thought of this and thought it was funny:

Mark: "So how many songs can it play at once?"
Me: "An infinite number, theoretically, but I don't want to test the limits of my server."
Mark: [starts a half dozen songs] "I do."
(05:18:57) [me]: wow
(05:19:03) [me]: that's scary
(05:19:11) Kesuari: why?
(05:19:23) [me]: it did just what I expected
(07:50:56) Оберон: Anyway, I was just trying it with the C400 mod
(07:51:04) Оберон: which sets the arrow scroll speed to a constant 400
(07:51:13) Оберон: except, thanks to a slight bug, it's 400*xmusic
(07:51:22) Оберон: so on the last song I was dealing with 600bpm arrows the whole way through
(08:00:12) [me]: why only 600bpm?
(08:00:25) Оберон: 1.5 * 400 = 600?
(08:00:31) [me]: oh
(08:00:48) [me]: not 400 * 300bpm
(08:00:54) Оберон: *blink*
(08:00:54) Оберон: no
(08:01:00) Оберон: that would be 400xmusic on max 300
(08:01:04) [me]: that's how I parsed what you said
(08:01:05) Оберон: which is of course completely unplayable
(08:01:20) [me]: it'd be gone before you could hit an arrow, that's for sure
(08:01:24) Оберон: the song would be over in about a quarter of a second!
(08:01:33) Оберон: I can make a song like that
(08:01:36) Оберон: it's called "beep"
(08:01:39) Оберон: it sounds like this:
(08:01:40) Оберон: beep
(08:01:46) Оберон: The steps are this:
(08:01:51) Оберон: XXXX
(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
(02:54:29) [Shreyas]: i better eat soon
(02:54:36) [Shreyas]: i'm trying to reset my sleep cycle
(02:55:03) [me]: I should sleep soon, myself
(02:55:14) [me]: I didn't get enough sleep last night so napped today
(02:55:16) [me]: big mistake
(02:55:19) [me]: now I'm wide awake
(02:55:28) [me]: and have class in 5 and a half hours
(02:55:38) [me]: well, not *wide* awake
(02:55:46) [Shreyas]: crazy
(02:55:53) [me]: I had a tired spell around 12:30 when my sugar crashed from snacking on fig bars
(02:55:56) [Shreyas]: yeah, you should sleep
(02:56:07) [Shreyas]: that's probably a way to do it
(02:56:15) [Shreyas]: you could sugar crash again
(02:56:19) [Shreyas]: and sleep then
(02:56:24) [me]: I'm out of fig bars
(02:56:32) [Shreyas]: maple syrup?
(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!
(02:30:11) [me]: and I'm pretty open minded, I guess
(02:30:26) Rianna: you guess?
(02:30:38) Rianna: You're one of the most open-minded people I know
(02:31:16) [me]: huh, I have some pretty strong beliefs in certain directions though, and that makes me closed minded on those issues
(02:33:04) Rianna: hrm, yea, I guess, I have some stuff like that, but I dunno, it tends to be in the direction of "let's tolerate people who aren't hurting others" rather than "lynch the [racial slur]"
(01:43:50) Шыңғыс: i am a future politician
(01:44:01) Шыңғыс: i have to be insane
(14:03:29) [Tristan]: "i'm bored" "heh, some madman was telling me i should add this feature to gaim" "hm really? maybe i'll do that then"
(12:17:30) Michael: although crazy professors are pretty cool
(12:17:35) Michael: i think you'd make a pretty good crazy prof
"I hope I'm not this crazy when I'm old."
(19:22:47) kesuari: so i mean, a large part of why i want to move overseas is so i can move out of my parent's place
Чулуун: "Okay, so the second group will just be two lines behind the entire song. Does that make sense?"
[everyone nods]
Чулуун: "Okay, so, first group? Second group?"
[pause while everyone looks around]
Багш: "Баатар!"
(03:31:47) spectre: i don't like having the negative morpheme in different places
(03:31:56) firespeaker: but this is Turkic
(18:05:32) zfe: also tomorrow i'm getting on a boat
(18:05:38) zfe: and a turk will be driving
(18:05:43) zfe: which feels extremely wrong
(18:05:56) zfe: like i get invited by spectie and he cooks me spaghetti
(18:06:13) zfe: or i don't know, vietnam invading usa
(18:06:19) zfe: it really looks upside down
(18:06:27) zfe: a turk and an italian on a boat
(18:06:30) zfe: and the turk is driving
(16:44:52) spectie: :((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
(16:45:00) spectie: ^-- this is my non-crazy turkologist deficit face
(16:45:08) spectie: it looks like my multiple-encoding file face
me: "Hm, this talk looks like it's going to be about how some researchers make animal communication look more similar to language than it is."
Tolgonay: "‘Meow.’ What did I say?"
Fri 13 Jun:
(16:43:15) [me]: this keeps coming up entirely randomly... I'm running gaim 0.64 with rox+waimea as my session+window managers:
** (gaim:1141): CRITICAL **: file prefs.c: line 358 (gaim_prefs_get_bool): assertion `pref != NULL' failed
(17:48:08) [me]: this killed gaim 0.64:
(gaim:1273): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: gvalue.c:86: cannot initialize GValue with type `gpointer', the value has already been initialized as `gpointer'
Sat 14 Jun:
(23:25:07) [me]: you guys really need to fix this:
(gaim:7407): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: gvalue.c:86: cannot initialize GValue with type `gpointer', the value has already been initialized as `gpointer'
(23:25:07) SeanEgn
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
(16:55:43) [me]: speaking of which, the dotted line that's normally on buttons and other non-entry things to show focus (very useful if you're using tab instead of the mouse) have recently stopped dispalying at all for me
(16:56:10) [me]: mostly on buttons
(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"
(18:31:03) jimregan: well, if you own bagpipes, why *wouldn't* you add pyro?
basically what i should do is, hang out with her and every time she rolls her eyes about someone, demand to meet that person
Fran: "So I was at the bar at the airport and there was someone on the TV saying that banning same-sex marriage should be up to the states."
me: "Yeah... ☹"
Fran: "And murder legalised by school-district."
me: "Wait, what??"
Fran: "Well, I'm extrapolating."
