[01:54:47] <Fnord666> ~gday Bytram
[01:54:48] * exec faithfully inserts a BTRFS volume of grammar's fried chicken into Bytram
[01:54:56] <Fnord666> evening Bytram!
[01:55:16] <Bytram> ~gday Fnord666
[01:55:18] * exec dianetically nudges a DD cup of toenail clippings toward Fnord666
[01:55:35] * Bytram had just glanced at the story queue -- you've been busy! Again!
[01:55:36] <Fnord666> that started out so promising....
[01:55:51] <Fnord666> idle hands and all that
[01:56:07] <Bytram> nod nod
[01:56:40] <Bytram> Many many thanks for ALL of the stories you've been editing... has made a big difference in my being able to step back for a bit and deal with some IRL stuff
[01:57:03] * Fnord666 bows
[01:57:19] <Fnord666> You're welcome. That darn IRL can get in the way sometimes
[01:57:31] <Bytram> methinks cmn32480 had better watch his back... you're gaining on him daily: https://soylentnews.org

[01:57:56] <Fnord666> Why I hadn't even thought about that.
[01:57:59] <Bytram> for that matter, janrinok has been making some strides in *my* direction, as well!
[01:58:17] <Bytram> hard working AND humble! How about that!
[01:58:21] <Bytram> =)
[01:58:45] <Fnord666> no just trying to spell mischeviously
[01:58:47] <Fnord666> :)
[01:59:17] <Bytram> like this: mischievously
[01:59:19] <Fnord666> I did see that J is closing on 4000 pretty quickly
[01:59:25] <Fnord666> thx

[01:59:58] <exec> <Bytram> hexchat has a [somtimes helpful] builtin spell checker
[02:00:22] <Fnord666> apparently I wasn't even close enough earlier. It suggested miscellaneously
[02:00:23] <Bytram> helps to make sure I use the proper gestures and incantations with my spells
[02:00:31] <Bytram> LOL!
[02:00:44] <Fnord666> ah verbal and somatic components...
[02:00:55] <Bytram> that reminds me!
[02:01:00] <Fnord666> uh oh
[02:01:20] <Bytram> I often mis-hear things, and find myself playing around with word parts
[02:01:31] <Bytram> wondered if this might already be used for something:

[02:02:04] <Bytram> #g pompumstance
[02:02:04] <MrPlow> sorry, there were no results for your query
[02:02:20] <Bytram> Quick! Trademark that word!
[02:02:36] <Fnord666> nice.
[02:03:16] <Fnord666> When I was bored watching over the computer lab at uni, we used to work on adding the most commonly misspelled words to the spell checker dictionaries
[02:04:06] <Bytram> wait... no. You didn't... did you?
[02:04:33] <Fnord666> uhm, maybe?
[02:04:39] <Bytram> At first, I thought you meant you put in the correct spellings for the most misspelled words, but you added them as if they were *valid* spellings?
[02:04:52] <Bytram> devious++

[02:05:00] * Fnord666 wrings his hands mischievously
[02:05:46] * Bytram wonders if Fnord666 is out and about, or transmitting from his sekret volkano lair?
[02:06:39] <Fnord666> In the lair ATM, which fortunately is not in Hawaii. Secret volcano lairs there not being what they used to be.
[02:06:52] <Bytram> yeah, so I've heard
[02:06:54] <Bytram> brb
[02:06:56] <Fnord666> k
[02:07:58] <Bytram> updating story title... had to three-parse the original... how does this look:
[02:07:59] <Bytram> CubeSats -- En Route to Mars with InSight -- Snap Another "Pale Blue Dot" Image
[02:09:12] <Bytram> well, I changed and saved it.
[02:09:35] <Fnord666> looks good to me
[02:09:57] <Fnord666> I like that better

[02:13:21] <Fnord666> hmmm. Seems like it was probably just on specific channels, but that doesn't jibe with an outage of netflix or youtube channels
[02:13:46] <Bytram> no idea... I don't have cable, nor do I stream any video
[02:13:56] <Fnord666> specific channels being ones carrying content likely to be violating copyright
