[16:50:56] * mrcoolbp has to run to work
[16:42:24] <NCommander> mrcoolbp, that, or just edit it to a link
[16:42:16] <mrcoolbp> NCommander I can resize so you can use a thumb if you like
[16:41:53] <NCommander> ugh
[16:41:52] <NCommander> mrcoolbp, the image is 800x432
[16:41:23] <mrcoolbp> NCommander: you are using a high-resolution desktop
[16:39:45] * NCommander was going to break down here and relocate -_-;
[16:39:36] <NCommander> *sigh*
[16:39:34] <NCommander> Renders fine for me but
[16:39:29] <mrcoolbp> NCommander: can you make it 100x100 with a link to the large version
[16:39:27] <NCommander> Ugh
[16:38:59] <mrcoolbp> NCommander: it's overflowing the story slashbox significantly
[16:38:43] <mrcoolbp> NCommander: that image is rendering weird
[16:28:04] <NCommander> janrinok|afk, sorry, I just added something else to the queue :-)

[15:11:29] <Bytram> done
[15:11:14] <Bytram> make that 15minutes... at 15:25
[15:10:32] <Bytram> I'm setting the story to drop in 10 minutes
[15:10:21] <Bytram> janrinok: ^^
[15:10:12] <Bytram> hit the can, take a smoke break, and it'll be ready.
[15:09:56] <Bytram> okay, how 'bout I set it for 10 minutes from now.
[15:09:32] <Bytram> lol
[15:09:26] <NCommander> Bytram, not really, once I break, I've got to do day job shit
[15:09:22] <Bytram> maybe grab a bite to eat, smoke break, etc.?
[15:09:01] <Bytram> NCommander: you wanna take a break before it goes live?
[15:08:26] <Bytram> NCommander: nod nod

[15:05:37] <Bytram> NCommander: ^^
[15:05:33] <Bytram> we are here for you, buddy!
[15:05:24] <Bytram> he's gonna work around you. if you want the story to drop now, in 10 minutes, or just wait until 16:00, it's your call.
[15:04:40] <NCommander> Bytram, janrinok is messing w/ the spacing
[15:04:11] <Bytram> or, just wait for it to drop at 16:00
[15:03:57] <Bytram> NCommander: suggestion? set the go-live time to 15:15 just in case there's one more 'oh shit' moment.
[15:03:21] <Bytram> janrinok: nod nod;
[15:02:39] <janrinok> Once it's posted I'll clean up the story list spacing.
[15:01:35] <Bytram> and, again, Well Done!!!!!!
[15:01:34] * mrcoolbp checks it out in context
[15:01:29] <Bytram> NCommander: it's all yours.
[15:00:54] <Bytram> let me save it...
[15:00:35] <NCommander> Looks good
[14:59:30] <Bytram> nograb
[14:59:28] <Bytram> squeak now or forever hold your grease. :)
[14:59:07] <Bytram> 
[14:59:04] <Bytram> to the public on the #staff channel on IRC. I'll update the Site News box with the date as soon as it is determined. 
[14:59:03] <Bytram> <a href="http://wiki.soylentnews.org/wiki/Board_of_Directors_Meeting_-_July_16,_2014">second Board Meeting</a>, which was mostly expanding on points above and below. Furthermore, we're working on trying to set a regular time for holding meetings. Up-to-now, its been a relatively ad-hoc affair decided a day or two in advance due to having to accommodate multiple schedules. Our board meetings are open
[14:59:03] <Bytram> ADDENDUM: Since I originally wrote this, we've had our
[14:59:02] <Bytram> 
[14:59:02] <Bytram> NCommander: okay... here's the latest try...
[14:57:52] <mrcoolbp> Bytram: perfect
[14:57:31] <mrcoolbp> Bytram: for the previous meetings it was only because we were having scheduling issues (mostly due to my erradic schedule) though I plan on just taking the evening off in the future
[14:57:26] <Bytram> ok, let's separate the mechanism from the need for it... I'll strike the agenda part
[14:57:25] <janrinok> Bytram: I would have thought the opposite would be true - there should be agenda if it is known. But that's only my guess.
[14:56:45] <Bytram> mrcoolbp: good point. but is there a reason for not posting the agenda ahead of time?
[14:56:06] <mrcoolbp> bytram: okay, well I read that the notice needed to be provided to board members in advance, though we could post it to the site news box, but we'd have to remember to do that
[14:56:06] * Bytram can't remember *what* it is, but seems to remember there was something.
[14:55:29] <Bytram> there is a mechanism in the bylaws to deal with stuff that comes up after the agenda is posted.
[14:54:54] <Bytram> mrcoolbp: LOL!
[14:54:47] <mrcoolbp> bytram: or two business leap-weeks, whichever comes first = )
[14:54:43] <Bytram> if we're gonna have bylaws, we should follow them.
[14:54:12] <Bytram> sounds right
[14:54:07] <mrcoolbp> 10 days?
[14:53:55] <Bytram> bylaws, IIRC, require the agenda be avail for a period of time in advance of the board meeting, too.
[14:53:24] <mrcoolbp> Bytram: hmm, not sure that needs to go on the sitenews box...
[14:52:28] <Bytram> 
[14:52:26] <Bytram> to the public on the #staff channel on IRC. I'll update the Site News box with the date and a link to where the agenda can be found as soon as it is determined.

[14:51:16] <Bytram> uh oh. I no longer have a text cursor in the text-entry box. Am saving, but I need to go back and make a chnge.
[14:50:14] <NCommander> Perfect
[14:49:49] <Bytram> we should also have something about the Agenda for the meeting being posted in advance. hmmm, brb
[14:48:53] <Bytram> to the public on the #staff channel on IRC. I'll put the time of the next one in the Site News box as soon as it is determined.

[14:47:46] <NCommander> I <3 you guys
[14:46:54] <Bytram> already in there
[14:46:53] <mrcoolbp> NCommander: he is already
[14:46:46] <NCommander> Bytram, can you edit that in for me?
[14:46:35] * mrcoolbp chugs
[14:46:32] <mrcoolbp> not quite yet
[14:46:26] <janrinok> had enough coffee yet?
[14:46:19] <mrcoolbp> not bad, not bad
[14:46:13] <janrinok> good - you?
[14:46:07] <mrcoolbp> sup janrinok?
[14:46:02] <mrcoolbp> heya
[14:46:02] <Bytram> nod nod
[14:45:59] <janrinok> hi mrcoolbp
[14:45:58] <Bytram> nd nod
[14:45:43] <mrcoolbp> Bytram is adding the wiki link
[14:43:36] <janrinok> lol - I'm fingers off kbd until I know what is going to happen....
[14:43:28] <Bytram> NCommander: the 2nd board meeting *is* on the wiki... me goes in search
[14:43:03] <Bytram> janrinok: FYI. as soon as the nc post is ready, it's prolly gonna go live immediately.
[14:42:28] <janrinok> Bytram: OK, and I'll move it by a few hours anyway
[14:42:02] <Bytram> janrinok: just make mine a nodisplay for the moment. K?
[14:41:46] <Bytram> NCommander: lemme go look. brb
[14:41:30] <NCommander> Bytram, I added a quick addenium
[14:41:24] <Bytram> janrinok: hold on!
[14:40:58] <Bytram> janrinok: go ahead
[14:40:47] <Bytram> janrinok: no problem. things were awful lean, so I grabbed the best I could find in the queue and put in at a rather spaced-out interval to try and help us make it through.
[14:40:31] <janrinok> its 1 minute before NC's short post
[14:40:10] <janrinok> the NASA awards
[14:39:59] <Bytram> janrinok: which one?
[14:39:41] <Bytram> NCommander: the 2nd board meeting was basically that we agreed to hold Board Meetings on IRC.
[14:39:24] <janrinok> Bytram: can I move your story so that a) it gets better coverage, and b) it spreads the stories better?
[14:38:29] <janrinok> NCommander: you've got a few hours yet until it hits the front page!
[14:37:41] <janrinok> NCommander: still time to fix it"
[14:37:37] * NCommander does quick edits
[14:37:34] <Azrael> :)
[14:37:34] <NCommander> We had a second board meeting, and the policy crap
[14:37:29] <janrinok> correction - its live in the queue, that's where I got it from
[14:37:23] <NCommander> Shit
[14:37:22] <NCommander> Oh, crap, I realized there are some more things I need to put on it
[14:37:05] <janrinok> I've just read it!
[14:36:51] <janrinok> Bytram: its live now
[14:36:32] <janrinok> hi Bytram - how's things. You been having tech problems?
[14:36:25] <Azrael> woooo
[14:36:18] <Bytram> there's an updated version of NCommander's long postponed post-incorporation post that is likely to go live VERY SOON
[14:36:04] <janrinok> If past experience is anything to go by, the subs start at about lunchtime on Eastern US coast.
[14:35:49] <Bytram> heads up....
[14:35:17] <Azrael> ok
[14:35:14] <Azrael> perhaps iphone to 23:00 and microbes to tomorrow 3amish ?
[14:35:13] <janrinok> No, leave what we have now, but start 2 hr spacing until the subs start coming in again....
[14:34:39] <Azrael> do you want to push one of your two into tomorrow?
[14:34:34] <janrinok> yes, I saw that, thx
[14:34:22] <Azrael> avoid clashing with yours, yes, I pushed to tomorrow
[14:34:08] <Azrael> ahh
[14:34:04] <janrinok> thx Az - from now on we had better go back to 2 hr spacing. Leave your latest move where it is, and we will start from there. I'm showing only 9 stories in the sub queue.
[14:33:59] <Azrael> ??
[14:32:52] <janrinok> OK - avoid the new posts!
[14:31:29] <Azrael> I'll push it even further out now :)
[14:31:08] <Azrael> I think maybe that didn't save right
[14:31:00] <Azrael> janrinok: hiya, odd, I deliberately did the BBC one just before the NSA one, then changed the time on NSA one to 23:**
[14:24:24] <janrinok> Bytram: your 'system issues' message never went out at all - I assume that was intentional. What was the tech problem?
[14:22:48] <janrinok> Azrael: did you get my last message? ^^^
[14:14:58] <janrinok> Azrael: your lastest 2 stories are separated by 15 minutes on purpose?
[14:11:12] <janrinok> hi Azrael - how's things?
[14:11:02] <Azrael> yoyo

[13:38:09] <lhsi> I know there was a bug/feature in GitHub for having story-feedback built into the site, which would be better than sending an email anyway
[13:36:30] <n1> I think we ended up getting mixed reactions from rejection emails, it was never a formal policy just a 'best practice' kind of thing.
[13:35:06] <lhsi> Fair enough. Its usually a rare occurrence, but I do remember getting some in the past and didn't remember seeing an announcement (but that's not to say there wasn't an announcement that I missed)
[13:32:04] <n1> Can't remember the exact reasoning./
[13:31:51] <n1> lhsi, as far as I know we're not doing that anymore generally.
[13:30:15] <lhsi> Has the email-on-story-rejection policy stopped recently? I've gotten some before, but not for a rejection today

[13:24:45] <Bytram> n1: no worries. System hiccuped about 4hrs ago... got us scurrying a bit!
[13:20:42] <n1> sorry ive not been able to do any editing yet today, barely had time to think about anything, and no time to eat :/
