[13:00:39] <paulej72> wow
[13:00:47] <paulej72> the queue is full
[13:01:20] <paulej72> but no stories ready.
[13:01:39] <paulej72> Looks like we need to fill sthe story queue
[13:10:03] <paulej72> I got us tup to 17:12 with two stories. If someone else does not fill the story queue by then I'll add some more.
[13:16:15] <CoolHand> thanks paulej72.. I added a couple this morning, and was just checking again
[13:16:38] <CoolHand> I'll try to 2nd yours and add a few.. been busy @real_work too..
[13:17:50] <paulej72> i picked two clean ones and all I did was add the dept lines. One was a tykyon story
[13:18:13] <CoolHand> yep.. I'll add "orig sub" link for you.. :)
[13:18:28] <paulej72> shit forgot about that, thanks

[14:03:35] <janrinok> hi guys
[14:10:54] <paulej72> hi janrinok
[14:11:46] <janrinok> hi paulej72 how's things?
[14:12:19] <janrinok> I see that you have been posting stories too :)
[14:12:23] <paulej72> not bad. I put a couple of stories in the queue, but forgot to add the org sub. CoolHand fixed it for me.
[14:12:37] <paulej72> we were diangerously close to empty
[14:12:53] <janrinok> surprising - there should be plenty of us around
[14:13:28] <paulej72> I knew something was up, because the subs queue was full and the nagger disappeared
[14:13:39] <janrinok> that's serious nowadays!
[14:14:11] <paulej72> now I'll have 9 stories :)
[14:14:29] <janrinok> you're racing up the stats board!
[14:16:23] <janrinok> paulej72: hows the search for XSS bugs going?
[14:16:49] <CoolHand> janrinok: !!
[14:17:05] <janrinok> CoolHand: !! & how's things?
[14:17:14] <CoolHand> alright..
[14:17:28] <janrinok> good to hear
[14:17:32] <paulej72> I think i got most of them in messges, comments, and journals, but I need to look at search (which is not a real issue as it does not dump into the db) and polls
[14:17:33] <CoolHand> pretty busy @ work.. we were empty this morning when I got here, and I threw a couple in..
[14:17:50] <CoolHand> then when I checked again (knowing we were getting close again), paulej72 had just beat me to it
[14:18:19] <CoolHand> janrinok: I had an editing question for you though
[14:18:21] <janrinok> as long as we keep it topped up, I don't think anyone apart from ourselves will have noticed
[14:18:25] <janrinok> go
[14:19:12] <CoolHand> in the tesla story.the move title is "TOWER TO THE PEOPLE" and was capitalized like tha tin the submission. I changed it then realized that was the actual title.. not sure to go all caps or not..
[14:19:25] <CoolHand> I'd guess so since it is the actual title although we don't usually do that in headlines
[14:19:31] <CoolHand> ? whaddya think?
[14:19:32] <janrinok> did you quote it or just mention it?
[14:19:42] <CoolHand> It's in the headline
[14:19:52] <CoolHand> Tower to the People - Nikola Tesla Documentary
[14:20:03] <janrinok> put it in quotes and you can do what you like
[14:20:09] <CoolHand> was TOWER TO THE PEOPLE - Nikola Tesla Documentary
[14:20:22] <janrinok> UC or LC is fine if it is in quotation marks
[14:20:31] <CoolHand> ok, I'm going to change and quote it and UC it
[14:20:32] <CoolHand> thanks
[14:21:08] <janrinok> would be my guess. It isn't documented anywhere, but it seems reasonable that, if we change from the accepted norm, we simply quote it
[14:24:32] <janrinok> CoolHand: That looks OK to me
[14:24:58] <CoolHand> great, thx
[14:28:25] <janrinok> I've just deleted 2 subs that claimed to be from gewg_ - only one of them wasn't. Someone submitted an sub about Apple but wrote it in such a way that it would invoke a good flame battle. Gewg_ submitted the second disowning any knowledge of it. I have deleted the sub because it is an attempt at a troll and gewg_'s warning because it isn't a genuine sub
[14:29:12] <janrinok> CoolHand: Did all that post get through or did I type too much again?
[14:30:07] <janrinok> That is the second attempt at a spoof 'Apple' story in the last week that I have seen.
[14:35:33] <paulej72> gewg_ should just pony up for an account :)
[14:36:05] <janrinok> I've no problem with him as he is - and he did let us know that someone is using his name in submissions
[14:36:32] <CoolHand> it finished with: gewg_'s warning because it isn't a genuine sub
[14:36:39] <CoolHand> thanks for the heads up
[14:36:53] <janrinok> CoolHand: that's all of it
[14:37:35] <janrinok> I'm rewriting the story and finding/checking the sources so that we don't waste it
[14:41:29] <CoolHand> coolio

[23:29:00] <takyon> maybe we want to take Apple Maps off breaking news
[23:29:14] <takyon> it's more like, oh that's what those mystery vehicles were doing for 3 months
[23:29:24] <Bytram> takyon: hiya!
[23:29:31] <takyon> sup mane
[23:29:37] * Bytram didn't notice that it *was* on breaking news...

[23:29:54] <takyon> I just made a pizza
[23:30:07] <Bytram> up is a direction I've never managed to fall
[23:30:13] <Bytram> yum!
[23:30:25] * Bytram just pushed out 10 or so stories for the w/e
[23:31:09] <Bytram> yup, now I see it - apple maps story is in the 'break' nexus on the story page

[23:33:41] <Bytram> that wasn't my doing, but I'll keep that in mind!
[23:37:48] <Bytram> takyon: are you going to change the Apple maps story's nexus? If not, I'll do it.
[23:42:32] <Bytram> takyon: hello? Took some futzing around, but I've got a copy of the story with the right nexus selected; but I see you might have made changes...
