[00:05:33] <Bytram> requerdanos: welcome aboard!
[00:05:40] <requerdanos> I thank you.
[00:05:50] <Bytram> and you haz voice here, too!
[00:06:05] <requerdanos> that will come in handy in case of an emergency channel +m
[00:07:30] <Bytram> now you are talking beyond me
[00:08:03] <requerdanos> in a moderated (+m) channel, only those with voice (+v) can speak
[00:09:09] <Bytram> Ah, got it. I do not think this channel is moderated... at least I am seeing you fine, here
[00:10:09] <requerdanos> it was sarcasm of the a-little-too-sly-and-subtle variety
[00:10:36] <Bytram> whoooosh!
[00:10:36] <Bytram> =)
[00:10:37] <Bytram> you got me!
[00:11:02] <Deucalion> requerdanos, now you have staff host you will be always voiced in official channels.
[00:11:29] <requerdanos> okay, thanks
[00:12:48] <Bytram> requerdanos: ^^^ a voice from above (actually our IRC mantainer extrodinaire) -- a rare sighting these days (he tends to be very busy) -- so an extra special day in your life at SoylentNews!
[00:13:38] <Deucalion> None of our official channels are moderated generally. We have one that is invite only except for staffers.
[00:14:18] <Deucalion> I feel queasy. I make no-one's day special in any way.
[00:15:22] <requerdanos> I would try to be on my best behavior but I'm afraid this is pretty much it
[00:15:35] <Bytram> Deucalion: maybe you do... but haven't noticed it yet?
[00:15:42] <Deucalion> I poke at out IRC stuff when I have time. I'm supposed to be CEO but... time.... if you want nothing to happen... I have safe hands I guess. :D
[00:16:10] * Deucalion jiggles
[00:16:53] <requerdanos> I know what you mean, to an extent. I somehow am board president of a local charity with a real budget and multiple volunteers.
[00:17:59] * Bytram notes Deucalion's subtle TIC referrencing his SN nick
[00:18:15] <Deucalion> Other people offloading their commitments.... we nod... 10 years later..... WHY????
[00:18:34] <Deucalion> Bytram, whois is enough
[00:19:31] * Bytram was recently invited to join the board of a local non-profit... after attending two board meetings. Said I was flattered,but would like to attend a few more meetings so I had a better idea of what was going on.
[00:19:49] <requerdanos> oh, had I only said that.
[00:20:44] <Deucalion> That's how they get you to take on all the work.
[00:20:46] <Deucalion> :D
[00:20:47] <Bytram> whelp, I actually volunteered to review/QA the incorporation documents for SN.
[00:21:09] <Deucalion> Yessss... but you are QA detail man :P
[00:21:15] <Bytram> been invited to some board positions here, but have politely declined, so far.
[00:21:59] <Bytram> But have learned *lots* from watching what goes on here! Wish I'd known some of this stuff decades ago!
[00:22:22] <Deucalion> Who is the board these days?
[00:24:17] <Deucalion> I'm just a zero wage employee as CEO, the board can sack me as they please :) Still NComm and _matt on the board right?
[00:25:03] <Bytram> IIRC, yes.
[00:29:49] <Deucalion> I last saw NComm on YTube
[00:37:06] <Bytram> I noticed him editing a few of his stories a few months back. Those walls-of-text that have so inspired my loquatiousness.
[00:47:30] <Deucalion> He's putting up interesting vids on YT on antique hardware and OS and SW. I don't think he was very inspired by the response he got from his related stories posted here on SN.
[01:03:01] <Bytram> I got that sense, too.
[01:04:26] <Bytram> I doubt the site would be here w/o his initial work getting things set up and running, and his able example of openness with the community -- I know it make a heck of an impression on me!
[01:05:24] <Bytram> Can't help but think of him when I compose YAWOT (yet another wall-of-text(tm))
