[01:45:49] Bytram|away is now known as Bytram
[01:49:33] <Bytram> Ummm, that emacs story? I think it might be a dupe.
[01:49:37] <Bytram> cmn32480: ^^^
[01:50:08] * cmn32480 looks deeper
[01:50:24] <cmn32480> fek
[01:50:27] <cmn32480> year old
[01:50:38] <Bytram> yep
[01:51:11] <cmn32480> danke
[01:51:14] <Bytram> bitte
[01:52:02] <Bytram> and, truth be told, it looks like we did not cover it at the time, or at least I get no matches on the new maintainer's name, nor on "emacs maintainer", nor on "emacs maintenance"
[01:52:14] <Bytram> so, not a dupe, but covering a story that is not new
[01:52:25] <Bytram> s/new/gnu/
[01:52:26] <Bytram> ;)
[01:52:27] <exec> <Bytram> so, not a dupe, but covering a story that is not gnu
[01:53:09] <cmn32480> I had the same thoguht... bt couldn't find it either... but I remember reading about it from somepalce
[01:53:52] <Bytram> istr seeing it on Ars
[01:54:10] <cmn32480> perhaps
[01:54:16] <cmn32480> or someplace else... who knows.
[01:55:46] <cmn32480> any thoguhts on the Gannett story?
[01:56:08] <Bytram> is it a sub or a story?
[01:56:27] <cmn32480> sub
[01:56:51] <Bytram> "Tronc" ??
[01:57:06] <cmn32480> apparently they "rebranded" and changed the company name
[01:57:47] <Bytram> nod nod
[01:58:02] <Bytram> but... "tronc" ??? whiskey tango foxtrot
[01:58:09] <cmn32480> yep
[01:59:10] <Bytram> interesting story, kinda up our alley (in a way), but all those names of newspapers are gonna need <em>USA Today</em>
[01:59:30] <Bytram> you already touched it, you wanna run it?
[01:59:54] <cmn32480> sure
[02:00:05] <cmn32480> you think we ought to edit the quotes to put the <em> in?
[02:00:25] <Bytram> to my eye, whomever reports the news can set the tone for quite a few things, and the new beheamoth this would be, could greatly influence a presidential election.
[02:00:42] * Bytram goes to lok at source
[02:00:45] <Bytram> *look
[02:02:23] * cmn32480 doesn't feel like looking throuhg 197 emails tonight
[02:03:39] <Bytram> 1.) Sort by subject. 2.) Delete all e-mails that start with the letter... Ummm.. "S"
[02:03:49] <Bytram> or "T"
[02:03:55] <Bytram> nah, AND "T"
[02:03:59] <Bytram> AND "A"
[02:04:05] <Bytram> ... ;)
[02:04:29] <cmn32480> delete * from INBOX where FIRST LETTER <= A
[02:04:38] <cmn32480> delete * from INBOX where FIRST LETTER >= A
[02:04:42] <cmn32480> \whoops
[02:04:46] <Bytram> NOW you got it!
[02:04:51] <Bytram> LOL
[02:05:08] <cmn32480> first one only deleted the "A"s
[02:05:21] * cmn32480 has been going since 4am
[02:05:45] <Bytram> could not do it in practice, but there IS a catharsis in contemplating doing something so *crazy*
[02:05:56] <Bytram> yikes!
[02:06:01] <Bytram> Go. To. Bed.
[02:06:07] <cmn32480> need finish emails
[02:06:48] <Bytram> they won't be there in the morning? When, being more rested, you'll make better decisions... and more quickly?
[02:07:09] <cmn32480> but if I can get rid of the cruft... i might only have to deal w/ 150...
[02:07:11] * Bytram sarts 2nding stories
[02:07:15] <Bytram> *starts
[02:07:38] <cmn32480> ;/me posts Gannett in vacated 11:51 slot
[02:07:44] <Bytram> nod nod
[02:14:29] <Bytram> FYI, on the origin of the name "Tronc": Tribune Publishing Just Changed Its Name to ‘tronc’
[02:14:29] <Bytram> New moniker is meant to stand for Tribune Online Content and evoke the company’s effort to ‘pool’ technology and content resources
[02:14:38] <Bytram> from: http://www.wsj.com
