[04:19:00] <mrcoolbp> chromas: we could suggest to editorial that they post a story when they post polls, but I think the comments would be separate, I'm not sure
[04:19:33] <mrcoolbp> chromas: when one posts a story there is a way to tie the two together, that may tie the comments together, but I've never messed with it
[04:19:45] <mrcoolbp> tie the poll to the story that is
[05:14:47] <paulej72> mrcoolbp: stories can be linked to polls, but I am not sure how that works. someone should try it on dev

[09:44:32] <Azrael> Soylent News is DINOSAURS!
[11:12:19] <Azrael> gap in the 14:30->19:00 zone, I'll put something in it later if no one else does :D
[12:30:38] <Azrael> now a slot at about 18:00

[13:01:48] -!- mode/#editorial [+v Woods] by SkyNet
[13:09:29] <Woods> Azrael: Not sure the comment at the end of "Frequency of Back Doors..." is needed.
[13:11:32] <LaminatorX> Not needed, certainly, though it is footnoted. Let's let it ride, and see what the response is.
[13:12:18] <LaminatorX> There was that discussion of how a submitter might want to get a first comment in. This is a good example of how that might work without devs needing to change anything.
[13:13:55] <Woods> I do not think that is the submitter, due to the square brackets, I think that is Azrael. He can clear it up when he sees this though.
[13:13:58] <Woods> I will leave it.
[13:14:20] <LaminatorX> I've added current-info to the Happy Birthday lawsuit story.
[13:14:41] * LaminatorX hangs head in shame for submitting a year-old story.
[13:15:51] <Woods> lol
[13:16:01] <Woods> Well, we are kinda low.
[13:16:10] <Woods> I should submit a few when I get a chance.

[13:27:38] <janrinok> hi guys
[13:29:14] <LaminatorX> Good morning/afternoon.
[13:29:35] <janrinok> hi LaminatorX how was your weekend?
[13:34:55] <janrinok> LaminatorX: I've just changed the timings on some of Az's stories - some were at 3 hours spacing?
[13:34:58] <LaminatorX> Stellar, actually. The band filled a small venue in our fist headlining gig, a barbecue celebrated a visiting college friend from Kansas City, I did all my laundry, and finally got to watch Thor2 and Iron-Man3 while the girls were napping.
[13:35:46] <janrinok> lol - that sounds like a very successful w/e. Congrats on the headlining!
[13:36:30] <LaminatorX> Good call on the timing. We're a little thin, but we usually get a story bump as people trickle in to work.
[14:22:56] -!- Tachyon_ has quit [Ping timeout: 244 seconds]
[15:08:08] <janrinok> Any eds available to 2nd ed my stories - I keep moving them to a later slot :)
[15:09:37] <LaminatorX> I'll take a look.
[15:09:40] <janrinok> thx
[15:13:58] <Azrael> Woods: was submitter, not me :) the square brackets did make me ponder changing it to something else though so it didn't seem to come from me
[15:14:25] <janrinok> Az hi - what on earth are you talking about?
[15:14:44] <Azrael> 14:09 <+Woods> Azrael: Not sure the comment at the end of "Frequency of Back
[15:14:44] <Azrael> Doors..." is needed.
[15:14:44] <Azrael> 14:11 <+LaminatorX> Not needed, certainly, though it is footnoted. Let's let it
[15:14:47] <Azrael> ride, and see what the response is.
[15:14:47] <LaminatorX> The footnote.
[15:14:50] <Azrael> 14:12 <+LaminatorX> There was that discussion of how a submitter might want to
[15:14:53] <Azrael> get a first comment in. This is a good example of how that
[15:14:56] <Azrael> might work without devs needing to change anything.
[15:14:58] <Azrael> 14:13 <+Woods> I do not think that is the submitter, due to the square
[15:15:01] <Azrael> brackets, I think that is Azrael. He can clear it up when he
[15:15:03] <Azrael> sees this though.
[15:15:05] <Woods> Aaahhh, got it.
[15:15:27] <janrinok> I _think_ that cleared it up ?!
[15:15:35] <Azrael> I did change headline to 'Explorer' as submitter put 'Exploder' - thught that was a bit too much :D
[15:15:54] <LaminatorX> Agreed. I think superscript and subscript are happening in the next update.
[15:16:07] <Woods> Ooohhh, the scripts!
[15:16:18] <LaminatorX> Those would be better for footnotes once they're live, but for now [] is fine.
[15:16:35] <janrinok> hi guys - I feel as though I've just entered a timewarp - to about 3 hours ago....
[15:16:50] <LaminatorX> Good morning/afternoon.
[15:16:59] <Azrael> I think someone spaced out posts a bit? thank you :) probably janrinok as you've added some in :D
[15:17:16] <janrinok> yeah - you had some at 3 hours!
[15:17:51] <Azrael> yeah, I didn't have time to add more but wanted to space them in case you all got hit by busses
[15:18:17] <Azrael> I put a note in channel about gaps but you werent on to see it :D
[15:18:37] -!- Tachyon [Tachyon!~Tachyon@xpu-yql-27-16.cust.vodafone.cz] has joined #editorial
[15:19:25] <janrinok> I can see your reasoning - but I usually look at the timing for the last item and decide whether there is anything to be done. I just couldn't believe that the whole day had been completed and then I noticed to story count.
[15:21:10] <Azrael> janrinok: can't get one over on you, too observant!!
[15:21:25] <janrinok> lol - barely awake usually!
[15:21:37] <Azrael> janrinok: I like the dept line on the dinosaurs one ;) was so tempted to suggest 'bad luck? no shit!'
[15:22:57] <janrinok> Typical British understatement....
[15:26:39] <LaminatorX> Let's run the Groklaw story now rather than delaying it. That's news.
[15:27:07] <Azrael> LaminatorX: except there is no new article on groklaw, so not sure where story originates

[15:28:39] <LaminatorX> I clarified it in the story. There have been new materials linked in their "Latest News Picks" section. That's not the same as a letter from Pamela or the like, but it's a change from. "over."
[15:30:39] <Azrael> ahhhhh :D
[15:31:37] <Azrael> I was so excited when I saw the story, but when i couldn't see what had updated got sad again (me=big groklaw fan)
[15:32:53] <Azrael> I had a book review published on groklaw many years ago http://www.groklaw.net :D
[15:32:54] <monopoly> ^ 03Groklaw - Book Review: Peter Lavin's "Object-oriented PHP" - reviewed by Azrael
[15:36:10] <LaminatorX> Nice.

[17:49:56] <janrinok> strange happenings today - cannot seem to stay online for more than a few minutes...
[17:50:40] <LaminatorX> That was weird you you lost your name, like you maybe sent a garbled packet to Nickserv or something.
[17:51:52] <janrinok> I think I have a router problem - it seems to be dropping connections. It used to happen once in a blue moon - I have 4 such instances today and it eventually kills all my internet. I suspect the problem lies at this end rather than the server.
