[00:54:40] <Bytram> chromas: that's quite a run of stories you put out today... kudos!
[00:54:53] <Bytram> fyngyrz: and great work on the 2nding dept, too!
[00:55:16] <Bytram> fwiw the '$' prefix may already be taken
[00:56:10] * chromas should break the rules and sub a bunch of stories as anon so he can do a whole day's worth :D
[00:56:39] <chromas> hehe
[00:56:53] <chromas> The Goog employees one looks like #7
[00:57:07] * Bytram makes a mental note to closely check submissions on chromas stories
[00:57:44] <Bytram> also, beware that just when you've got a 'day of chromaqs' going, takyon is likely to show up with a breaking news story to blow it out of the water!
[00:57:44] <chromas> I only noticed it because JR made a comment on mine
[00:58:34] <Bytram> yuppers... looks that way by the title.
[00:59:25] <chromas> Looks like takyon's sub is a little fancier though
[00:59:50] <Bytram> the project Maven thing was mentioned here quite a while ago... the new thing is that something like 3100 google employees have signed a letter 'complaining' about it
[01:00:33] * Bytram loads both stories side-by-side
[01:00:47] <chromas> Yeah, there's definitely new information
[01:01:08] <chromas> So just what is techonomics? The internet doesn't seem to know
[01:02:02] * Bytram is not sure, but I suspect it is a neologism combing 'tech' and 'economics' ??
[01:02:27] <chromas> I'm just not sure when to use it
[01:02:42] <Bytram> hold on aminute
[01:06:24] * Bytram has been busy attempting a manual merge of btoh stories
[01:06:28] <Bytram> *both
[01:11:51] <Bytram> chromas: oy! Manual merging of stories means keeping more than just a few balls juggling at the same time... think I got it right, though. Take a look at the story at the top of the queue... (I gave you credit for it, too. =)
[01:12:56] <chromas> Oh, I didn't submit; it was fyngyrz's doing
[01:13:05] * chromas just pasted in some blockquotes
[01:13:25] <Bytram> yeh, he did a #submit, but hten you put it in the queue... and then made it non-display
[01:13:30] <chromas> Oh I see. Well now your name isn't on it
[01:13:34] * chromas sets it to tmb
[01:13:42] <Bytram> I disagreed with that asseessment and added it tthe story you pointed out
[01:15:19] <chromas> Looks pretty good, though it ends up with two links to our older story
[01:15:32] <Bytram> feel free to winnow it down
[01:17:32] <chromas> If it was still April one we could just run them individually but at the same time :D
[01:18:26] <Bytram> beware... rehash has no checks against having two stories run at the same time... further, only one generally shows up in the pending story list.
[01:18:37] * Bytram might, or might not, be writing from experience
[01:19:59] <chromas> Should I stick your name on the hidden one? :)
[01:20:14] <Bytram> not necessary
[01:20:23] * Bytram thinks his story count has a comfortable lead
[01:20:26] <Bytram> ;)
[01:20:50] <chromas> Ooh. So I could cheat the system by accepting bs stories but hiding them
[01:21:21] <chromas> I s'pose time has to pass around them, and I couldn't just bury them in the past so nobody knows
[01:21:52] <Bytram> they'd show up when looking at the author's page and looking at the olist of stories pposted
[01:23:20] <Bytram> if you wanted to do so, badly enough, I suppose you *could* do so. of course, if ever found out, we would then immediately question what *other* things had been done, and move to immediately remove any privs you had on the system -- basically if you are not trustworthy enough to not game the system, what are you doing posting stories on the site?
[01:23:45] <chromas> Russian haxx
[01:24:11] <Bytram> chromas: s/axx/oax/
[01:24:13] <exec> <Bytram> <chromas> Russian hoax
[01:24:31] <chromas> dat's a racis and alt-reich opinion
[01:25:32] <chromas> Eh, I'll get there. Usually I just pop in when the queue's low and nobody else is looking. You guys have lives so it'll probably happen a lot
[01:26:37] <chromas> It'd be neat if a couple of active submitters could sub something less harpy
[01:27:10] <Bytram> we've been fortunate, of late, comparatively speaking...
[01:27:36] <Bytram> few things are more irksome than to look at the sub queue and see, say, 5 stories... and none of 'em are usable
[01:28:38] <chromas> The ones you guys do, especially takyon, are pretty awesome. All edited and linked out the wazoo. All I need to do is stick my name on it :D
[01:29:17] <Bytram> back in the day, phoenix666 was good for several subs per day; takyon has been doing a long and sustained service in his submission efforts! The occasional subs from the bots and a few other sporadic subs each day makes for at least something we can choose from
[01:29:25] <Bytram> nod nod
[01:29:59] * chromas gives takyon een gouden ster
[01:30:14] <Bytram> having seen the kind of things that come in, and try to put myself in the editor's shoes... what can I do to make their job easiest? Make it 'looks okay, go' improves the chances a story gets accepted.
[01:30:16] <Bytram> =)
[01:30:48] <Bytram> well... it's been a very bust past few days, and I have tomorrow off. think I'm gonna call it an early night and see if I can catch up a bit on my sleep.
[01:30:58] <chromas> ~g'night Bytram
[01:31:00] * exec crutchyly drops a basket of cherries on Bytram
[01:31:04] <chromas> g'nytram
[01:31:12] <Bytram> chromas: has been a pleasure chatting with ya, and thanks again for all the stories you pushed out today!
[01:31:23] <Bytram> chromas++
[01:31:23] <Bender> karma - chromas: 19
[01:31:24] <Bytram> ~gnight chromas
[01:31:24] <chromas> You're welcome
[01:31:27] * chromas tips hat
[01:31:27] * exec excoriatingly crams a shitload of Scientology into chromas
[01:31:32] <chromas> (I don't actually own a hat)
[01:31:38] * Bytram thinks he won that one
[01:31:59] <Bytram> ta ta for now!
[01:32:00] <chromas> For sure

[17:45:21] <chromas> Probably. Some years ago some guy made the Apple logo, but the bite was a silhouette of Jobs cutout and people were masturbating over it
