[00:19:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> AzumaHazuki, Bytram's your huckleberry on that. i'll get you promoted on dev for training now though so you don't have to wait when they get back to you.
[00:20:17] <AzumaHazuki> you of all people don't have a problem with this? i know editors aren't admins, but what gives here?
[00:20:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh, nevermind. you got promoted last time.
[00:20:51] * TheMightyBuzzard shurgs
[00:21:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> any reason i should have one? it's work not politics.
[00:22:09] <AzumaHazuki> I don't personally think it's completely possible to separate the two. thankfully i'm a registered "burn them all and salt the ashes" party member :D
[00:22:22] * TheMightyBuzzard chuckles
[00:22:38] <AzumaHazuki> Fire...FIRE! Meh-heh-hehheheh-heh-heh
[00:22:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> might be a guy thing. or a guy who works with tools thing.
[00:23:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> pretty common to have to work with someone you'd rather knock in the head with your wrench, so you have to learn to do it.
[00:25:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> besides, dissenting opinions on staff about the site is a good thing. everyone's occasionally dead wrong and if nobody tells them so it leads to badness.
[00:25:51] <AzumaHazuki> would heaven certain people would listen...
[00:26:30] <AzumaHazuki> righty-o, then. it may be best if a topic is *not* made about me joining the eds, since I've got a small...er...fanclub, shall we say
[00:26:34] <AzumaHazuki> who would not take the news well
[00:26:43] * TheMightyBuzzard chuckles
[00:27:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> fuck em. maybe it'll get more of them to join with visions of offsetting your views
[00:27:16] <AzumaHazuki> I would almost like to see it just for the reactions: half "she's gonna bring the site down from the inside!" and half "she's defected, she's one of THEM now!"
[00:27:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> s'true. you sold out for the benefits package.
[00:28:08] <AzumaHazuki> and like...no? I am and always have been the same solitary lost girl in time. if there's a job in front of me, it gets done
[00:28:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> suuuure. nobody can resist a free email account and all the abuse you can eat.
[00:28:56] <AzumaHazuki> huh, i have an email already...
[00:29:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, i think you were mostly set up last time.
[00:30:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> well partially anyway. none of the prod stuff.
[00:31:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> hey, neat. we'll be *official* enemies if you're joining the eds. devs and eds are in a blood feud.
[00:32:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> mostly because they keep trying to get me to write javascript for the editorial interface
[00:32:12] * TheMightyBuzzard wards off the evil eye
[00:33:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> anyways, that was my few minutes of free time today. back to working until time for bed.
[00:38:13] <AzumaHazuki> javascript, ye flipping gods
[00:38:26] <AzumaHazuki> were I a web programmer it'd be straight XHTML+CSS and CGI

[02:42:43] <Bytram> ~tell AzumaHazuki Welcome aboard! Feel free to look around on dev. If you'd like to get started on training, I have a rare Sunday off so I could allocate some of it to that, so long as it ends at least one hour before the start of the Superb Owl. (I don't want to miss any commercials!) Anyway, please let me know. k?

[23:09:05] <Bytram> Also, would you please click the fastforward checkbox if it has not yet already one live.
[23:09:10] <Bytram> Also, would you please click the fastforward checkbox if it has not yet already gone live.
[23:12:36] <Bytram> Hmmm, I am not sure how I can go from having my lappy using my 4K TV as a monitor and using only its internal screen... and I want to be able to watch the game and be on-line at the same time!
[23:14:05] <chromas> Looks pretty good. I added a space in the wikipedia blockquote ("modern-eraNational")
[23:14:19] <chromas> Did you still want the time changed?
[23:14:25] <Bytram> guess I'm going to hibernate the laptop, turn off the TV, restart the lappy, wait for it to use the built-in screen, and THEN turn on my TV
[23:14:42] <Bytram> nah, already went live. we're good
[23:14:45] <Bytram> thanks!
[23:14:52] <Bytram> back in a couple minnutes
[23:20:54] <Bytram> well, that did not quite work as expected.
[23:21:37] <Bytram> had to manually swap monitors
[23:21:46] <Bytram> but end result is working, so all is good.
[23:43:16] <chromas> You can't just unplug the monitor?
