[22:38:56] <NotSanguine> I don't mind admitting when I'm wrong. It helps me be right more often
[22:38:18] <NotSanguine> It's okay. check out my reply to the comment. Is that enough?
[22:37:59] <mrcoolbp> awe man, sorry I shoulda checked it for ya
[22:37:50] <mrcoolbp> haha
[22:30:17] <NotSanguine> I checked the story again and the <slash-break> had mysteriously re-appeared. I removed it...again and it seems to be gone.
[22:29:33] <PrincessKenny> ^ 03SN comment by [02maxwell demon (1608)] (02Score:2): What is this "page 1|2" stuff? I'm sure I've not seen it previously, and I must say I don't like it. Is there any way to get it back to all on one page?
[22:29:32] <NotSanguine> I thought I'd removed the "<slash-break> from the "Digital privacy" story. Then I saw a complaint about it in the comments" https://soylentnews.org

Electric vehicles may be more useful than previously thought -- ScienceDaily ( http://www.sci...: In the first study of its kind, scientists quantitatively show that electric vehicles will meet the daily travel needs of drivers longer than commonly assumed. They found that batteries that have lost 20 percent of their originally rated energy storage capacity can still meet the daily travel needs of more than 85 percent of US dr

[13:46:46] <janrinok> np - j/k
[13:45:51] <CoolHand> janrinok: I know todays aren't finished up.. that's why I put the game console power one there.. we don't need too many more for today though..
[13:33:34] <janrinok> thanks CoolHand
[13:33:27] <CoolHand> ok
[13:30:10] <janrinok> OK, make your changes first
[13:29:56] <janrinok> OK, I set your story back to display again, Thanks for that
[13:29:49] <CoolHand> I think I might make an edit on the bottom of that story making it more clear what that number is, and a note of the standby numbers
[13:29:33] <chromas> Still uses a trickle for acpi power switch and stuff
[13:28:54] <janrinok> no hibernate, no sleep, but OFF
[13:28:32] <janrinok> I switch my computers off, all 8 of them, when they have nothing to do
[13:28:12] <CoolHand> a console these days is basically a computer, so it does the same stuff your computer does when idling
[13:28:08] <janrinok> That explains the greenhouse gasses I suppose :)
[13:27:51] <CoolHand> happens in my house all the time
[13:27:49] <cmn32480> janrinok: they sit there driving up your electric bill
[13:27:37] <janrinok> I just can't believe that people leave things switched on when they aren't using them.... Perhaps that is just a european thing.
[13:26:46] <janrinok> ah, so 'idle' just means having nothing to do, well I don't use a console, so what does a console 'do' if it is in idle?
[13:25:23] <CoolHand> ok, the big number is on and at the idle menu
[13:25:19] <janrinok> and for the Wii U, an eac of $14.16
[13:24:57] <janrinok> for the XBox One eac of $13.73
[13:24:27] <janrinok> well the source article says for the PS4 that the estimated average annual cost is $10.64
[13:23:48] <CoolHand> they look like they agree... he said "ConED rates - .35/kwh which is three times as much as what the article says - .12/kwh - so the $142 it says for the PS4 tripled is about the same
[13:21:58] <CoolHand> well, they weren't mine, they were submitted... I'll check
[13:21:56] <janrinok> that's the 'Standby Console Games story
[13:21:14] <janrinok> are you sure of you annual figures? They don't seem to agree with the source article figures.
[13:21:06] <CoolHand> ok
[13:20:50] <janrinok> hi, I have a question on your latest story
[13:20:37] <CoolHand> yo
[13:19:46] <janrinok> CoolHand: ping?

[02:15:15] <mrcoolbp> that means taking it on the chin sometimes
[02:14:58] <mrcoolbp> we try to have a little here and there
[02:14:50] <mrcoolbp> NotSanguine|Out: It's not about that, it's about professionalism
[02:14:22] <NotSanguine|Out> Perhaps so, janrinok_in_bed, but I generally don't pull punches. And I'd say the same thing to his monitor or his face
[02:14:22] -!- janrinok_in_bed has quit []
[02:14:02] <janrinok_in_bed> agreed
[02:13:53] <mrcoolbp> this discussion might be better continued in our other channel
[02:13:07] <NotSanguine|Out> a good point janrinok_in_bed :)
[02:12:56] <janrinok_in_bed> .... faint praise
[02:12:54] <mrcoolbp> fuck with them a bit
[02:12:50] <mrcoolbp> NotSanguine|Out: I actually like that idea
[02:12:49] <cmn32480> change the logo to something about I heart moose wang?
[02:12:41] <NotSanguine|Out> I don't think APK is really a bad sort, he's just overly sensitive and not very bright
[02:12:30] <janrinok_in_bed> lol how will people tell?
[02:12:28] <mrcoolbp> t'was seridipidous that I came into the customer service role around here, I have an extensive background in hospitality
[02:11:56] <NotSanguine|Out> How about we try to find some ridiculous stories and post them as if they're reasonable?
[02:11:55] <janrinok_in_bed> you're just misunderstood mrcoolbp
[02:11:54] <cmn32480> mrcoolbp: you have performed a great service to this site
[02:11:46] <mrcoolbp> but "you're welcome"
[02:11:36] <mrcoolbp> cmn32480: I was actually pretty nice to him, he just didn't like what I have to say
[02:11:33] <cmn32480> Thank God for small favors
[02:11:20] <janrinok_in_bed> good
[02:11:14] <mrcoolbp> cmn32480: he was for a bit, I think I pissed him off
[02:11:13] <NotSanguine|Out> I haven't seen him, cmn32480
[02:11:04] <mrcoolbp> so toss both of those ideas (though they amused me)
[02:10:57] <cmn32480> is apk active over here?
[02:10:41] <mrcoolbp> = )
[02:10:37] <NotSanguine|Out> mrcoolbp: a good point
[02:10:24] <mrcoolbp> NotSanguine|Out: to be honest, I'd prefer not to target individuals
[02:10:11] <NotSanguine|Out> that was me with the Onion idea, but we should at least try to be original, no?
[02:09:48] <mrcoolbp> someone mentioned posting some onion stories
[02:09:48] <NotSanguine|Out> Hey! How about a fake protocol spec for distributing APK's host file?
[02:09:26] <mrcoolbp> NotSanguine|Out: emailing with him was trying
[02:09:16] <cmn32480> God knows we can go to the odl site and pull something. I just don't think my copy buffer is that big
[02:09:06] <NotSanguine|Out> Give a wholehearted endorsement of his hosts file
[02:08:45] <NotSanguine|Out> APK can be fun
[02:08:30] <mrcoolbp> cmn32480: that's fucking funny, I have emails from him
[02:08:22] <janrinok_in_bed> week*
[02:08:10] <janrinok_in_bed> Buzz was discussing it last weel but I suspect it has been overtaken by events
[02:08:08] <cmn32480> something on the main page from apk?
[02:07:47] <NotSanguine|Out> mrcoolbp: a faux bennet haselton post?
[02:07:42] <cmn32480> NotSanguine|out, I shall have to try it. Perhaps my wife in interested
[02:07:18] <mrcoolbp> ** anyone have any april first joke ideas for SN ?
[02:07:15] <janrinok_in_bed> lying down as we speak sir
[02:07:02] <mrcoolbp> janrinok_in_bed: hope you are taking some time to rest
[02:06:56] <NotSanguine|Out> editing while showering is the height of pleasure, cmn32480
[02:06:52] <janrinok_in_bed> no, it looks fine but you had it unticked
[02:06:49] <mrcoolbp> janrinok_in_bed: thanks
[02:06:42] <cmn32480> oh dear
[02:06:40] <mrcoolbp> janrinok_in_bed: I did not, and will do so tomorrow (I have the day off)
[02:06:34] <janrinok_in_bed> its 0400 here - having one of my not sleeping nights!
[02:06:24] <cmn32480> it can be pushed out, unless there are some suggestions
[02:06:15] <cmn32480> yes
[02:06:12] <cmn32480> Editing 102: How to edit but NOT shower together. right NotSanguine|Out?
[02:05:58] <janrinok_in_bed> cmn32480: are you happy for your story to be released?
[02:05:53] <mrcoolbp> janrinok_in_bed: I may have already, lemme check
[02:05:23] <mrcoolbp> as requested, nice thanks, can do I suppose = )
[02:04:53] <janrinok_in_bed> It was to remind you to email the 3 remaining eds for training?
[02:04:21] <mrcoolbp> hey janrinok_in_bed, missed your ping, anything I can do for you!?
[02:04:20] <cmn32480> it has been a day of sidetracks

[01:59:35] <NotSanguine|Out> no worries. it all got worked out.
[01:17:29] <cmn32480> Sorry NotSanguine|Out, I got as far as getting logged in and the kids came a running.
[00:22:15] * mrcoolbp has the day off = )
[00:22:10] <mrcoolbp> no problem, see ya tomorrow at least
[00:21:58] <NotSanguine|Out> Okay. I'm going away again. Thanks again, mrcoolbp! Ping me if you need me.
[00:18:45] <mrcoolbp> Me Too Man
[00:16:41] <NotSanguine|Out> Know What I Mean?
[00:16:20] <NotSanguine|Out> It was my bad anyway. I've got an itchy finger on the shift key
[00:15:30] <NotSanguine|Out> You know, it could be quite useful at times. With longer posts, not that I'm looking for Bennett Haselton to come over here.
[00:15:12] <mrcoolbp> mwa hahahaha
[00:14:55] <mrcoolbp> hopefully no one noticed, but I conveniently didn't edit the story
[00:14:31] <mrcoolbp> yay
[00:14:18] <NotSanguine|Out> done
[00:14:16] * mrcoolbp ducks
[00:14:12] <mrcoolbp> yeah, I saw that about the slash-break, it's a neat function, might be useful for NCommander's novella posts
[00:13:43] <mrcoolbp> = )
[00:13:40] <mrcoolbp> fix it quick!!!
[00:13:22] <NotSanguine|Out> you are correct. prepositions shouldn't be capitalized
[00:12:54] <NotSanguine|Out> An interesting bit about <slash-break> is that you can specify page numbers in the URLs
[00:12:00] <mrcoolbp> oops just realize "At" shouldn't be capitalized = )
[00:11:41] <NotSanguine|Out> Unless we want to customize
[00:11:29] <NotSanguine|Out> IT seems that much of that functionality is handled by the back-end
[00:10:05] <mrcoolbp> the story tag we might want to test as well
[00:09:57] <mrcoolbp> I just think we haven't messed around with most of those
[00:09:42] <NotSanguine|Out> I figured that doc was required reading for editors. I guess not. :)
[00:09:26] <mrcoolbp> User tag " <SLASH-USER UID="6"> " we should probably test
[00:08:43] <mrcoolbp> hmm, "The SLASH-RELATED tag" might be useful, but it's extra work
[00:06:37] <mrcoolbp> lemme look at the link
[00:06:36] <NotSanguine|Out> to the editors, that is
[00:06:04] <NotSanguine|Out> Perhaps that's something I (and/or others) could do -- go through that doc and see if there are other useful tags, then test and publicize them
[00:05:09] <NotSanguine|Out> I don't know. That was the one I found which "seemed" to meet my needs. I didn't pay close attention to the rest.
[00:04:29] <mrcoolbp> okay, so we can test that in the meantime, what other tags should we take a look at?
[00:03:48] <NotSanguine|Out> I see that now.
[00:03:38] <NotSanguine|Out> So I looked around for something that "worked" and found that.
[00:03:24] <mrcoolbp> NotSanguine|Out: yes, it doesn't show in the MEP, BUT, it does show you the "[Edit]" button where the break is
[00:02:53] <mrcoolbp> but we should mess around with it on dev first to see how it owrks
[00:02:47] <NotSanguine|Out> Which I did with the "extended copy' bit. However, that wasn't obviously working while in the MEP or preview modes
[00:02:41] <mrcoolbp> I wouldn't say that was long enough to require 2 pages (maybe if it was 2-3 times that size we could consider that)
[00:02:17] <mrcoolbp> we do that with the extended copy
[00:02:08] <mrcoolbp> but your goal was to do the "after the break" thing
[00:01:35] <mrcoolbp> so it looks like it pageinates stuff, which is good to know
[00:01:33] <NotSanguine|Out> Or is that something to be decided by the AEIC and/or the editorial group as a whole?
[00:01:22] <mrcoolbp> let's start with slash-break
[00:00:57] <NotSanguine|Out> But about the slashtags -- are there any others I shouldn't use?
[00:00:15] <NotSanguine|Out> Good. Another easily amused soul.
