[03:32:05] <Fnord666> Evening all!
[04:08:07] <Bytram> and a good evening to you, too
[04:08:30] <Bytram> I imagine a good evening is better than a good odding?
[04:15:27] <Fnord666> yep
[04:16:13] <Fnord666> How are you doing?
[04:16:42] <Bytram> motivated and sluggsh at the same time,
[04:16:56] <Fnord666> excited to be doing nothing?
[04:17:20] <Bytram> then again, yet another storm is coming through with a dropping barometer which usually tends to sap my energy levels
[04:17:35] <Fnord666> ugh. I hate that
[04:17:43] <Bytram> yepo
[04:17:58] <Bytram> hey, how'd that rollout(?) go last night?
[04:19:04] <Fnord666> It went well. Some steps in other departments ran a little long but no issues.
[04:19:33] <Fnord666> On to the next one
[04:19:42] <Bytram> pm?
[04:19:47] <Fnord666> sure
[04:34:11] <Bytram> Fnord666: Let me take this opportunity to be the first to personally congratulate you on pushing out your... 4,700th story!
[04:34:36] <Fnord666> oh crap. really?
[04:42:32] <Bytram> well, not just yet... but there's more than enough in the queue to make it happen! KUDOS!

[05:11:48] <Fnord666> good night Bytram/ Pleasant dreams

[08:17:29] <janrinok> although I _could_ stay with D and get some more experience with it....
[08:18:00] <chromas> I'll dig it out in a bit. There's not a lot to it though. It's pretty much just digging through the <meta> tags that appear in web sites

[16:42:42] <janrinok> Bytram, we are fine but today is another busy day. Good to hear from Mrpg and I note that CoolHand has put a story into the queue so I am pleased to see that he is still active.
[16:55:48] <Bytram> I've heard "being busy beats being bored", but sometimes I must admit that boredom has a certain attraction! Hang in there!
[16:56:28] <janrinok> will do - but this is the new normal for quite a few days, it is nothing to do with the current situation
[16:57:28] <Bytram> Yes, I was fortunate to be on when mrpg popped in and was able to have a brief chat with him. I miss his quit wit and, of course, all the stories he pushed out! He's just one story shy of making his 1,200th story!
[16:58:10] <janrinok> tempted to process one under his name just to up the count - he deserves it
[16:58:39] <Bytram> I'd seen CoolHand hand pop in once in a while to 2nd a story... was quite happy to see him push out a story!
[16:59:23] <janrinok> we all have lots of reasons to be somewhere else rather than here - I'm glad when I see a full story queue at least for the next few hours
[16:59:31] <Bytram> janrinok: tempting as that might be, I tend to be a bit more... "selective" for my round-numbered stories.
[16:59:36] <Bytram> nod nod
[16:59:44] <janrinok> I understand
[17:00:09] <Bytram> I've got some IRL things I've been procrastinating on for a while. Am hoping I can get some headway on the queue this PM so I can get a start on it.
[17:00:38] <janrinok> we are good for a few hours
[17:01:06] <Bytram> Of course, with this being April 1st, it's a bit harder to find stories we can consider for submission, never mind push out.

[21:34:12] <chromas> Also figured out how to push it to my xmpp server
[21:35:07] <Bytram> btw, I tried to use your web page to submit a story directly to the site. Slick! And then I got an XSS warning from one of my addons and it blew up on me. :/
[21:35:18] <Bytram> Caught me off guard
[21:35:31] <Bytram> didn't want to lose what I had created
[21:35:35] <chromas> Ah, I thought it wasn't working before
[21:35:59] <Bytram> so I was more focused on retrieval of that than of accurately capturing the warning. Sorry about that!
[21:36:01] <chromas> Also probably should check the reskey box
[21:36:22] <chromas> At least you got an error instead of just a blank form
[21:36:31] <Bytram> You mean I should have clicked it? Or that is something you need to check (look into)?
[21:37:05] <chromas> If you click it then it will grab a reskey so you can directly submit from the form (xss blockage aside)
[21:37:17] <Bytram> If you get a couple minutes, would be a big help if you could take a look at the story submission hold queue and see if there are any stories we can purge?
[21:37:25] * Bytram may have missed that step.
[21:37:32] <chromas> But if you don't, you should still be able to click Soy Preview and then SN will generate its own reskey when you first preview
[21:38:16] <Bytram> IIRC, =submit was down, but the web page was still working, so I decided to give it a try. Or something like that.
