[01:51:29] <Bytram> yep, that's what I got, too.
[01:51:30] <exec> └─ 13Association for Computing Machinery
[01:57:29] <Bytram> chromas: in case you are interested, that was all part of my attempt to put something together as a story submission... it's ready now if you want to look at it.
[02:06:21] * chromas peeps
[02:07:15] <chromas> You can just change my dept to something better. I couldn't think of anything
[02:07:21] <chromas> on the graphene post
[02:08:28] * chromas notices &nbsp; sprinkled thoughout
[02:08:43] <Bytram> kthx... assuming I can thjink of anything
[02:08:57] <Bytram> feel free to eliminate 'em
[02:09:14] <Bytram> teeny tiny chicken wire
[02:09:20] <Bytram> ^^ ??
[02:09:47] <chromas> If only spaces weren't stripped, you could put an img tag in there :D
[02:09:59] <Bytram> yuyp
[02:10:03] * chromas experimented; found html works in dept field
[02:10:21] <Bytram> graphene -- for keeping keeping the microscopic chickens in their coop
[02:10:36] <Bytram> yujp
[02:10:42] <Bytram> as long as you have no spaces
[02:12:08] <chromas> someone should fix that ;)
[02:12:28] <Bytram> nah... adds to the challenge
[02:13:02] <Bytram> unless you are volunteering?
[02:13:26] <chromas> Probably just a change in regex
[02:13:45] <chromas> the only space-ish character I could get through is the braille pattern blank
[02:13:59] * Bytram has looked at the code... way back when
[02:14:06] <Bytram> is mostly jsut a regex
[02:14:24] * chromas tries to come up with a dept for msu win acmicpc
[02:14:39] <Bytram> IIRC they use the perl regex char that matches whitespace
[02:14:53] <chromas> "association-for-soylent-machinery-international-collegiate-dept-contest" isn't as funny as I'd hoped for
[02:15:31] <Bytram> terminal competition?
[02:15:49] <chromas> Nah, it's benign
[02:16:04] <chromas> oh wait
[02:16:06] <Bytram> b9?
[02:16:17] <Bytram> now you get it?
[02:16:24] <chromas> from powder space
[02:16:45] <Bytram> ick
[02:17:03] <Bytram> left as an exercise for the reader
[02:17:47] <Bytram> heh... I'm liking that one more and more... has a bit of double entendre going on there, too
[02:18:09] <chromas> terminal competition?
[02:18:18] <Bytram> "left as an exercise for the reader"
[02:18:24] <chromas> ah
[02:18:36] <Bytram> well, the first one, too. Also has a double entendre
[02:19:49] <Bytram> chromas: watch it... mrpg is working on the same story
[02:20:10] <Bytram> looks like he got in a few seconds before you?
[02:20:32] <chromas> After; he probably didn't see me
[02:20:38] * chromas watches
[02:20:48] <chromas> he'll probably have a better dept :D

[02:26:53] <Bytram> yep... looking at it atm
[02:26:59] <Bytram> is why I subbed a story, too
[02:27:18] <mrpg> im on it
[02:28:41] <Bytram> chromas was on it, but seems to have given up.

[02:31:27] <Bytram> there's some stuff that might not be a bit off-putting, but it looked to be a well-researched and informative piece, so I pretty much pushed it out as-is (after fixing a few typos)

[09:46:23] <Bytram> janrinok: !!
[09:46:26] <janrinok> Bytram, ping?
[09:46:30] <Bytram> pong
[09:46:41] <janrinok> I'm just sorting out some stories - we had 2 days going at once
[09:46:42] <Bytram> you weren't here to see my msg, I take it
[09:46:47] <Bytram> somehow, one of the stories was scheduled 1400 minutes after the prior one, and we got 3 more scheduled at normal deltas after that.
[09:46:48] <janrinok> nope
[09:46:53] <Bytram> rescheduling "A Graphene Roll-Out"
[09:46:55] <Bytram> etc.
[09:47:01] <Bytram> just a sec
[09:47:06] <janrinok> OK, I've moved the others
[09:47:19] <Bytram> I got the others
[09:47:25] <janrinok> k
[09:47:36] <Bytram> I left a gap for graphene rollout to get it to current time
[09:47:48] <Bytram> and then delta'd 97 minnutes for subsequent stories
[09:47:59] <janrinok> my computer told me that the front page wasn't updating
[09:48:07] * Bytram saw that, too
[09:48:21] <janrinok> so I jumped on to see what was happening
[09:48:32] <Bytram> I have a little program I wrote that calculates deltas between scheduled stories
[09:48:38] <janrinok> I take it that the stories being programmed for Saturday were a mistake?
[09:48:46] <Bytram> yep
[09:48:57] <Bytram> somehow graphene stroy got scheduled to srong date
[09:49:02] <Bytram> other 3 followed fromthere
[09:49:04] <janrinok> lucky we old ones are around... :)
[09:49:29] <Bytram> would be nice if we had a delta t column shoing numbner ofminutes between that story and the one it follows
[09:49:35] <Bytram> yep
[09:49:55] <Bytram> actually, me got up to, umm, 'take care of business' as is wont for us old ones
[09:50:03] <Bytram> noticed front page was 'stale'
[09:50:05] <Bytram> huh?
[09:50:05] <janrinok> it would be helpful, and if the delta was more than say 180 minutes, show it in bright colours or something
[09:50:24] <Bytram> nah... just the delta t in minutes would be fine
[09:50:31] <Bytram> just a sec
[09:50:44] <janrinok> well, I thought the date gave it away already ;)

[09:51:25] <Bytram> those are the current date/time stamps as unix epochs, delta minutes and UTC date/time stamps of the stories at the top of the stories queue
[09:51:58] <Bytram> going a little bit further on that list

[09:52:16] <Bytram> it also clear when there are two stories that seem to be about the same time...
[09:52:32] <Bytram> that is when we had two eds push out the same story,unaware the other was doing it, too
[09:53:02] <Bytram> ok
[09:53:09] <janrinok> have you just pulled that from the database or have you got that displayed on a page somewhere?
[09:53:17] * Bytram seps back from the kbd and takes a dep breath
[09:53:21] <Bytram> *deep
[09:53:38] <Bytram> I use the API tools to access the site
[09:53:41] <janrinok> you have both a dep breath and a deep one - you've earned it
[09:53:43] <Bytram> retrieve the story list page
[09:53:47] <Bytram> do some maths
[09:53:52] <Bytram> output what you see
[09:54:00] <Bytram> also have another program that, say I do:
[09:54:09] <Bytram> SN_story_next.bat 1 97
[09:54:29] <janrinok> gotcha - mine done something similar but then just alarms when there is a gap in stories going out or it loses contact with the site
[09:54:35] <janrinok> does*
[09:54:39] <Bytram> that says "skip ONE story from the top of the story queue, get the timestamp, and add 97 minutes"
[09:55:02] <Bytram> outputs the new date/time stamp to the screen AND to the clipboard
[09:55:15] <Bytram> then I go to the story and it is ready to just paste in
[09:55:16] <Bytram> =)
[09:55:43] <Bytram> about as close as direct editing of story release date/times as we can get... I think
[09:55:55] <Bytram> THAT would lead to all kinds of race conditions
[09:56:02] <janrinok> could be fun!
[09:56:09] <Bytram> IMO that would be very NOT good
[09:56:23] <janrinok> you have lost your sense of humour... ;)
[09:56:34] <Bytram> tired
[09:56:46] <Bytram> we had a couple folks let go in a downsizing last month
[09:56:57] <janrinok> catastrophes are fun things when lives don't depend upon them
[09:57:06] <Bytram> and a guy just gave a one-week notice (instead of the customary two-week notice
[09:57:40] <Bytram> and I just found out yesterday that it *appears* like an item is now missing
[09:57:56] <janrinok> I've got a house full of guests and a busy appt schedule for both S and myself. I feel for you. Everybody leaves today having spent the week celebrating S's birthday
[09:58:08] <Bytram> which means the phb's are gonna be all over us about it
[09:58:16] <Bytram> huh!
[09:58:23] <Bytram> Happy Birthday S !!!!!!!!!!
[09:58:33] <Bytram> {{{{ S }}}}
[09:58:47] <janrinok> she returns your hug and sends you a big ty with a kiss
[09:59:07] * Bytram blushes, levitates, and wiggles his toes while in mid-air
[09:59:24] <janrinok> now that is something I would like to see
[09:59:40] <Bytram> you have not watched enough cartoons, then
[09:59:52] <janrinok> it sounds like a fragment of an old style cartoon on TV
[09:59:58] <Bytram> 'zactly
[10:00:14] <janrinok> sry - time to go, getting busy here again.
[10:00:18] <Bytram> nod nod
[10:00:24] <Bytram> yep, me needs to go back to sleep
[10:00:32] <Bytram> so good to 'see' you!
[10:00:34] <janrinok> back on this pm hopefully - you sleep well!
[10:00:41] <Bytram> hope we might have a chance to chat again some other time
[10:00:47] * janrinok is lurking

[18:18:50] <janrinok> something like that
[18:18:53] <cmn32480> lol
[18:19:27] <janrinok> How's J, kids and hound?
[18:19:40] <cmn32480> pretty good
[18:19:52] <cmn32480> we took the hound to the self-serve dog wash yesterday
[18:19:57] <cmn32480> it was hilarious
[18:20:02] <janrinok> and I don't give a toss how you are - honest
[18:20:08] <cmn32480> you shoulda seen the mess we left behind
[18:20:15] <cmn32480> I'm good with that
[18:20:23] <janrinok> well the dog probably found it hard to hold the hose...?
[18:20:44] <cmn32480> yes
[18:20:50] <cmn32480> damn missing opposable thumb
[18:21:11] <janrinok> I've never hear of a self-serve dog wash before
[18:21:17] <janrinok> heard*
[18:21:26] <cmn32480> it's excellent
[18:21:37] <cmn32480> they provide a big standing height tub...
[18:21:39] <cmn32480> all the soap
[18:21:41] <cmn32480> shampoo
[18:21:43] <cmn32480> conditioner
[18:21:45] <janrinok> did the dog enjoy it?
[18:21:46] <cmn32480> towels
[18:21:49] <cmn32480> and they clean up
[18:21:53] <cmn32480> marginally

[18:22:52] <janrinok> so the idea is to wash all the hair off the dog?
[18:23:30] <cmn32480> pretty much
[18:23:39] <janrinok> it must be a couple of stones lighter by now
[18:23:40] <cmn32480> all the loose hair at least
[18:23:46] <cmn32480> she is
[18:23:52] <cmn32480> but dear god she looks scruffy
[18:23:59] <cmn32480> it loosened up all the undercoat
[18:24:07] <janrinok> 1 stone == 14 lbs
[18:24:08] <cmn32480> just tufts of hair coming out
[18:24:54] <cmn32480> but she smells a lot nicer now
[18:25:15] <janrinok> I assume we are still talking about the dog? and not J or one of your kids ...
[18:25:29] <cmn32480> correct
[18:25:39] <cmn32480> but they also smell a looot better after a self-service wash
[18:31:43] <janrinok> how's work?
[18:50:47] <janrinok> gtg - its that time (here)
[18:50:57] <janrinok> hopefully back on tomorrow!
