[12:07:41] zz_janrinok is now known as janrinok
[12:10:55] <cmn32480> janrinok !!
[12:11:10] <janrinok> cmn32480: !!
[12:11:52] <cmn32480> how we doing this mornign janrinok?
[12:12:24] <janrinok> doing OK but had a busy morning, and now hopefully beginning a somewhat quieter afternoon
[12:12:35] <janrinok> how are you and yours?
[12:12:35] <cmn32480> <fingers crossed>
[12:12:43] <cmn32480> holding our own atm
[12:12:52] <janrinok> good to hear
[12:12:58] <cmn32480> I leave for New Orleans again this afternoon
[12:13:05] <cmn32480> so J isn't too pelased
[12:13:48] <janrinok> I can well imagine - actually, I don't suppose either of you are too pleased with that plan
[12:14:14] <cmn32480> a sound guess, good sir!
[12:14:31] <janrinok> how long will you be away for?
[12:14:59] <cmn32480> I *expect* to be abck Wednesday night. But the odds are that I will ahve to stay until Thursday evening
[12:17:30] <cmn32480> it is a shame the project manager on this job is such a shit head. Daddy owns the company, and he seems to think that he can jsut keep landing on people to force them to work harder.
[12:18:02] <janrinok> you keep looking for that way out
[12:19:36] <cmn32480> punching a client si not the right answer
[12:19:45] <cmn32480> tempting... but not the right answer
[12:21:25] <janrinok> ... unless you hit the bosses son - that can be very rewarding _once_ you know you have somewhere else to go :)
[12:21:49] <cmn32480> my bosses kids are really nice people
[12:21:53] <cmn32480> raised by a former Marine
[12:22:09] <cmn32480> respect their elders, etc.
[12:22:23] <cmn32480> this PM is the son of the guy who owns the company we are doing business with.
[12:22:57] <cmn32480> sadly it is a LOT of business, and the necessity to kepe my current job precludes me from doing what I want to him (tossing him off the roof of the hospital)
[12:24:21] <janrinok> ah, sorry, my misunderstanding
[12:25:42] <cmn32480> no worries
[12:55:30] <janrinok> it's that time again!
[12:55:38] <cmn32480> Tee time?
[12:55:46] <cmn32480> well I wish you luck on the links!@
[13:00:40] <CoolHand> cmn32480!! janrinok!!
[13:00:46] <cmn32480> CoolHand !!
[13:00:52] <cmn32480> janrinok is out on tee time
[13:00:54] <CoolHand> w00t! w00t!
[13:01:14] <CoolHand> well, I can excuse him for that I guess... Crazy Brits and their tea...
[13:02:10] <cmn32480> I know, right?
[13:03:54] <cmn32480> he should eb abck in a few hours. takes a while to make all the cucumber sndwiches and such for tea time
[13:04:20] <cmn32480> and all those "To the Queen" toasts never made mcuh sense either
[13:05:23] <CoolHand> lol, right!
[13:05:46] * CoolHand has to change his PC config to not allow a zillion login tries... grrr..
[13:05:58] <janrinok> CoolHand: !!
[13:06:07] <CoolHand> w00t! janrinok !!
[13:06:25] <CoolHand> how was the tea?
[13:06:51] <janrinok> how's things? and the tea is good thx - I know what you two were saying....
[13:07:07] <cmn32480> sending firmware to a printer via serial sucks.
[13:07:23] <CoolHand> :)
[13:08:02] <cmn32480> carving the 1's and 0's into the Captain Crunch is a bitch...
[13:08:15] <CoolHand> janrinok: all I know is those Bostonians probly threw all that tea in the harbor simply cuz tea is so awful.... like, what do we want all this stupid British tea for? just dump it all, dudes... :)
[13:08:53] <janrinok> we don't mind - imagine how expensive it would now be if you uncommon louths had taken a liking to it?
[13:09:00] * cmn32480 gets out his helmet and ducks
[13:09:18] <CoolHand> janrinok: lol, fair enough :)
[13:09:25] <janrinok> you put your helmet away - you'll get in trouble doing things like that
[13:10:24] <cmn32480> I'll bet she gives great helmet....
[13:10:30] <cmn32480> nograb
[13:11:26] * CoolHand watched "The Act of Killing" last night... very disturbing, yet riveting... once again showing our Western governments lack of morality concerning third world nation pawns..
[13:13:01] <cmn32480> janrinok - what are we thinking of doing with the politics stories in the hold queue?
[13:13:56] <janrinok> nothing unless we have to :) They have both been covered elsewhere and are not really our bread and butter - they were there to get us through the w/e
[13:14:16] <cmn32480> I meant keep in the hold queue or delete?
[13:14:25] <janrinok> I'm just using my bot to find new stories to replace them in the hold queue
[13:15:01] <janrinok> I'll replace all of the stories - if they haven't been used yet they are 2 or 3 days old
[13:20:35] <CoolHand> what do u guys think about that Xinuous story?
[13:21:13] <janrinok> I left my comments like you asked - go for it
[13:21:22] <CoolHand> ah, I just saw it
[13:21:24] <CoolHand> :)
[13:22:16] <CoolHand> I really meant I"m interested in SN'ers comments after we publish... but your comment was good too :)
[13:22:27] <CoolHand> I'll go ahead and pub
[13:24:08] <janrinok> ah, my bad
[13:24:56] <CoolHand> i just hadn't heard of a company being birthed from sco's ashes.. let alone open sourcing the OS, so it's news to me.. (or I heard about it a long time ago and just dismissed it)
[13:25:12] <janrinok> I agree - first that I have heard of it
[13:25:35] <janrinok> but you might stress that point - it doesn't jump out at the reader
[13:35:00] <janrinok> lots of interesting stories on the 'bot today
[13:35:40] <cmn32480> stupid job getting in the way of me doing what I want to...
[13:36:27] <CoolHand> andytheabsurd submitted a palemoon update story b/c the queue was low, but I'm not sure I'd prefer it over the bot stories (even though we try to prefer real readers submissions)
[13:53:10] <janrinok> I don't mind which stories you use - if the bot stories are good enough then use them
[13:53:47] <janrinok> they need more work of course, but they are today's stories
[13:54:18] <cmn32480> since when do we need to be timely?
[13:54:26] <janrinok> well we try :)
[14:43:14] * CoolHand is going to logout for a few to restart(and upgrade) his tmux.. things are getting a bit unstable..
[14:43:40] <janrinok> it's the dilithium crystals, they canna take it Captain
[14:43:47] <CoolHand> hah! :)
