[01:48:00] <Bytram> and... that's all I got. We'll need a new story before sunrise EDT, but I can't really bring myself to post any of the currently subbed politics stories... we've had enough for a while. Subbed several stories that I hope someone else can do something with.
[12:57:40] <Bytram> Fnord666: ping! Just submitted a time-sensitive story re: SpaceX launch occuring in just over 3 1/2 hrs... any chance you could take a look at it and push it out for me?

[13:03:36] <Bytram> Fnord666_: Hi!!
[13:04:10] <Fnord666_> Bytram: do you want me to bounce the Gone Home story to later and drop the SpaceX story in its place?
[13:04:15] <Fnord666_> Howdy!
[13:04:28] <Bytram> are you a mind reader?
[13:04:33] <Bytram> =)
[13:04:48] <Fnord666_> Fortunately not
[13:04:53] <Bytram> I'll move gone home and give you the time stamp for the CRS-12 story
[13:04:56] <Bytram> lol
[13:04:59] <Fnord666_> I'm afraid to know what others are thinking generally
[13:05:08] <Bytram> ignorance is bliss
[13:05:20] <Fnord666_> so they say...
[13:05:32] <Bytram> this is the time slot that Gone Home was in: 2017-08-14 15:07:00
[13:06:40] <Bytram> gone home moved to new slot
[13:07:29] <Fnord666_> cool. SpaceX posted in its place and 2nded.
[13:07:40] <Fnord666_> not 2nded, just posted
[13:07:45] <Bytram> nod nod
[13:07:49] <Fnord666_> need moar coffee
[13:07:52] <Bytram> mare sea!
[13:07:55] <Bytram> coffee++
[13:07:55] <Bender> karma - coffee: 74
[13:08:01] <Fnord666_> de nada
[13:08:16] <Bytram> other than not awake, how ya doin today?
[13:08:35] * Bytram 2nds sleep biology
[13:09:05] <Fnord666_> doing fairly well. Thanks for asking. Yourself?
[13:09:35] <Bytram> likewise... am on vacation this week but doubt I'll get much rest... too much to catch up on the home front
[13:10:19] * Bytram 2nds spacex launch
[13:12:04] <Fnord666_> yeah summer vacations can be like that.
[13:13:08] <Fnord666_> spent a lot of this weekend with projects around the yard since the weather was so agreeable.
[13:13:10] * Bytram 2nds matter/uncle-matter
[13:14:57] <Bytram> whereto? http://go.theregister.com
[13:14:59] <upstart> ^ 03Firms warned over hidden costs of wiping data squeaky clean before GDPR hits • The Register ( https://www.theregister.co.uk )
[13:16:32] <Fnord666_> whereto?
[13:17:08] <Fnord666_> not sure I understand the question.
[13:17:35] <Bytram> it's not necessary, but instead of just dropping a URL into the channel and waiting for 'upstart' to follow any indirections,
[13:17:54] <Bytram> I choose to preface the URL with "whereto?" or somesuch as a flag to myself as to what the intent was
[13:18:16] <Bytram> here is the original link I dropped in the channel:
[13:18:17] <Bytram> http://go.theregister.com
[13:18:19] <upstart> ^ 03Firms warned over hidden costs of wiping data squeaky clean before GDPR hits • The Register ( https://www.theregister.co.uk )
[13:18:25] <Bytram> and this is where upstart told me it went:
[13:18:30] <Bytram> https://www.theregister.co.uk
[13:18:31] <upstart> ^ 03Firms warned over hidden costs of wiping data squeaky clean before GDPR hits • The Register
[13:18:37] <Bytram> notice the difference?
[13:18:54] <Fnord666_> ah, ok. Didn't know what upstart was
[13:19:39] <Bytram> np
[13:19:40] <Fnord666_> Thought you were asking me a question
[13:19:51] <Bytram> why would I do that?
[13:19:52] <Fnord666_> makes sense now
[13:20:00] <Fnord666_> no idea
[13:20:08] * Bytram notes his last comment was a question
[13:20:11] <Bytram> =)
[13:20:17] <Bytram> no-eyed deer?
[13:20:35] <Fnord666_> still no-eye deer
[13:20:49] <Fnord666_> :)
[13:21:02] <Bytram> lol!
[13:22:54] <Fnord666_> I better get back to work. I just dropped in to check the story queue and saw your time sensitive submission.
[13:23:23] <Bytram> many many thanks!
[13:23:24] <Fnord666_> I'll be back later this eve.
[13:23:42] <Fnord666_> no problem. Thanks for submitting it or I would have missed the launch
[13:23:44] <Bytram> really appreciate your stopping in...
[13:24:03] <Bytram> btw, you've been doing one heck of a job pushing out stories! really appreciate all the hard work!!!
[13:24:22] <Bytram> at the rate you are going, I suspect you'll reach 1K stories before I reach 4K
[13:24:24] <Bytram> =)
[13:24:32] <Fnord666_>
[13:24:37] <Fnord666_> =)
[13:24:54] <Fnord666_> Just doing what I can to help
[13:25:19] <Bytram> we all do, but it is still nice to be noticed. again, thanks!
[13:25:44] <Fnord666_> It is and thanks for noticing
[13:26:00] <Bytram> my pleasure!
[13:26:13] <Fnord666_> You been doing quite a bit yourself
[13:26:35] <Bytram> yeah. starting to feel it a bit, too. Hard to find that balance, yanno?
[13:27:15] <Fnord666_> That is definitely true.
[13:27:32] <Bytram> partly cause cmn was in super-crunch mode at work, it was left to the rest of us to fill in. Now that he's [somewhat] back, things can settle down a bit.
[13:27:51] <Bytram> we've got some amazing folks on this team -- proud to be a part of it!
[13:28:13] <Fnord666_> Ah. I wondered what was eating up his time.
[13:28:26] <Bytram> happens every year.
[13:29:01] <Fnord666_> Same time?
[13:29:31] <Bytram> pretty much. One of their biggest clients, time-sensitive, can't start any earlier, fixed deadline. :/
[13:29:50] <Fnord666_> Well, at least it's predictable.
[13:30:37] <Bytram> yuppers
[13:31:21] <Fnord666_> My apologies but I need to run for now. I'll talk to you later this eve if you're still on.
[13:31:35] <Fnord666_> Thanks gain for letting me be a part of the team!
[13:31:46] <Fnord666_> s/gain/again/
[13:31:47] <exec> <Fnord666_> Thanks again for letting me be a part of the team!
[13:32:50] -!- Fnord666_ has quit []
[13:33:04] <Bytram> my pleasure, truly! And is time for me to get a move on, too.
[13:33:07] <Bytram> laters!
[16:29:54] <Bytram> bah! Had set too late a time for the SpaceX story... swapped time slots with an earlier one -- should appear on main page momentarily
[16:30:03] <Bytram> still go for launch
[16:52:43] <Bytram> rescheduled SpaceX story & updated it to indicate launch was successful, booster landed safely, and the dragon capsule deployed.
[16:54:52] <Bytram> thinking about rescheduling subsequent stories

[18:12:40] <Fnord666_> hey all
[18:12:45] <Bytram> hay!
[18:12:58] <Fnord666_> I can't get to the log file from work
[18:13:05] <Bytram> log file?
[18:13:12] <Bytram> you mean the list of pending stories?
[18:13:20] <Bytram> or submissions?
[18:13:22] <Bytram> or ??
[18:13:34] <Fnord666_> what's the discussion so far on the daily stormer story
[18:13:45] <Fnord666_> No I meant the backlog for irc
[18:13:59] <Fnord666_> from work I can only use the web interface
[18:14:12] <Fnord666_> to irc and can't get to the channel log
[18:14:19] <Bytram> oh, that. Methinks you have to really have your nick, not one that looks like it.
[18:14:26] <Bytram> no dnod
[18:14:30] <Bytram> :/
[18:14:31] <Bytram> nod nod
[18:14:46] <Fnord666_> so I can't catch up right now to see what, if any discussion has happened so far.
[18:15:05] <Fnord666_> our proxy blocks sylnt.us
[18:15:22] <Bytram> not much happened except:
[18:15:55] <Bytram> I update the release date/time for the spacex story -- was scheduled for seomthing like an hour AFTER launch. my bad.
[18:16:14] <Bytram> I cleaned up a story submission that needs a close look see by someone else: https://soylentnews.org
[18:16:15] <upstart> ^ 03Error ( https://soylentnews.org )
[18:16:38] <Bytram> and I found 3 stories that I wanted to use one of the bots to submit, but they all failed, so I am doing it manually
[18:17:20] <Fnord666_> that's the story I was asking about.
[18:17:30] <Bytram> what about it?
[18:17:49] <Fnord666_> You were questioning if we even wanted to run it so I wanted to see if there had been any discussion so far.
[18:18:13] <Bytram> oh. nope. you're the first!
[18:18:44] <Fnord666_> ah, ok
[18:22:59] <Fnord666_> I like what you did with the submission and I know it will generate a lot of discussion.
[18:23:33] <Bytram> appreciate the affirmation, but I'd rather have you skewer me than the rest of the community... any qualms?
[18:23:40] <Fnord666_> Now how much of a sh1t show it will become is anyone's guess
[18:23:47] * Bytram assumes the fetal position =)
[18:24:13] <Bytram> I was debating adding an editor's note. thoughts?
[18:24:51] <Fnord666_> probably should
[18:25:08] <Bytram> nod nod
[18:25:09] <Bytram> biab
[18:25:30] <Bytram> if you have any changes you made, please let me know when it is safe to edit the story.
[18:25:35] <Fnord666_> if you want the discussion to be about GoDaddy
[18:25:48] <Fnord666_> I have not made any edits.
[18:25:51] <Bytram> gnawed gnawed
[18:25:54] <Bytram> k, going in
[18:26:04] <Fnord666_> k
[18:32:13] <Bytram> still at it...
[18:38:37] <Bytram> almost done
[18:40:50] <Bytram> saved.
[18:43:55] <Fnord666_> coll. I'll take a look
[18:44:19] <Fnord666_> if you're ready for me too that is.
[18:45:25] <Fnord666_> I like it.
[18:45:36] <Bytram> mare see!
[18:45:45] * Bytram is just horsing around
[18:45:55] * Bytram dons asbestos garments
[18:45:56] <Fnord666_> lol
[18:46:06] <Fnord666_> I got nothing yet for a department line though
[18:46:35] <Bytram> does it really need one? i suggest we just leave it empty in this case.
[18:47:27] <Fnord666_> yeah, I'm thinking that will probably be best in this case. Anything I'm coming up with is more appropriately a comment in the discussion.
[18:47:39] <Bytram> had the same issue, myself
[18:47:56] <Bytram> best to be thought an idiot, than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt
[18:49:19] <Fnord666_> So very true, yet far too many simply can't help themselves.
[18:49:34] <Bytram> wha yew talkin 'bout?
[18:50:03] <Fnord666_> lol. Present company excepted of course.
[18:50:17] <Bytram> moi?
[18:50:29] <Fnord666_> no!
[18:50:32] * Bytram invokes the ineffible image of 'miss piggy'
[18:50:46] <Fnord666_> now there's a flashback
[18:51:09] <Bytram> "I don't sew with a fork, I don't see why I should eat with knitting needles!"
[18:51:36] <Bytram> from memory wrt using chop sticks
[18:52:40] <Fnord666_> yep.
[18:52:53] <Bytram> it's not easy being green
[18:53:14] <Bytram> just a few decades early on the ecology movement, eh?
[18:53:37] <Fnord666_> just a few
[18:54:05] <Fnord666_> Gonna have to follow the godaddy story with the teapot story to balance out the seriousness
[18:54:17] <Bytram> excellent plan
[19:02:53] <Fnord666_> saved but it might need tweaked.
[19:03:07] <Fnord666_> Back to work for me.
[19:03:13] <Fnord666_> TTYL.
