[00:34:44] <SoylentSnow> I posted an edited story currently in the submissions queue on dev if someone wants to review and copy/paste it over. :)

[00:36:00] <FatPhil> literally a dead pool!
[00:36:10] <SoylentSnow> haha, ya!
[00:36:27] <Bytram> SoylentSnow: I'll take a look... give me a few
[00:36:43] <Bytram> FatPhil: welcome! have you heard from JR lately?
[00:37:10] <FatPhil> this afternoon, our time.
[00:37:31] <Bytram> nice... check out things on prod =)
[00:37:44] <Bytram> SoylentSnow: /me clicks your link
[00:38:36] <SoylentSnow> how do you leave a message for a user here that is away? I got a message from janrinok, and i'd like to leave a response for him to see when he's back.
[00:38:41] <FatPhil> not till tomorrow - I'm in bed and on my phone
[00:39:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> you can either ~tell Bytram message or #tell Bytram message
[00:39:12] <SoylentSnow> exec /?
[00:39:16] <SoylentSnow> exec -?
[00:39:18] <SoylentSnow> exec help
[00:39:24] <SoylentSnow> @exec help
[00:39:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> exec and mrplow both have that feature
[00:39:26] <FatPhil> privmsgs work for people who never log off
[00:39:39] <Bytram> FatPhil: you've been promoted to editor on production
[00:40:00] <Bytram> thank TheMightyBuzzard for performing the intricacies of updating the DB stuff.
[00:40:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> pfft, you did that. i just bounced the servers so it'd all play nice.
[00:40:42] <Bytram> oh, rly? nice!
[00:40:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> and then paulej72 rebooted the server just to make extra sure. at least that's what we're gonna say was the reason.
[00:40:59] <FatPhil> Bytram: so I hear. I have to be in the office for some workman tomorrow, but will hopefully get bored of work early afternoon
[00:41:50] <Bytram> well, just wanted to make sure you'd been notified. So good to have you aboard, and above all, have fun while you are at it!
[00:44:41] <Bytram> SoylentSnow: am looking at your story... looking good so far!

[00:49:33] <Bytram> SoylentSnow: I followed all of the links in the story and they worked... Yay!
[00:49:44] <SoylentSnow> hurrah!
[00:49:59] * Bytram has mistakenly posted stories with bad links, most recently today. :P
[00:50:24] * Bytram is grateful for the watchful eyes of the 2nd editor!
[00:50:59] <Bytram> I'm not sure what your 'original submission' looked like, so what follows is a 'best guess'
[00:51:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> lost the original sub link, eh?
[00:51:50] <SoylentSnow> the original submission is on prod. I was going to submit it myself,but someone else already did
[00:51:59] <Bytram> don't know if dev still has 'em?

[00:52:20] <Bytram> SoylentSnow++
[00:52:20] <Bender> karma - soylentsnow: 1
[00:52:21] <Bytram> thanks
[00:52:28] <Bytram> clicky
[00:52:44] <Bytram> ahhhh!
[00:53:16] <SoylentSnow> I fugured if I was going to practice, I might as well make it producive :)
[00:53:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> what, pictures?
[00:53:40] <Bytram> ok, when a story contains a "chunk" (two or more sentences, or so) of text from another source, we include it in blockquote tags; like this:
[00:53:59] <Bytram> <blockquote>Here is one sentence. And here's another. And yet another one.</blockquote>
[00:54:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's a style thing. we think it's pretty
[00:55:11] <SoylentSnow> Okay, I think the 1+3 paragraphs are from bbc, and I took the 2nd one from yahoo
[00:55:12] <SoylentSnow> so...
[00:55:31] <Bytram> well it also covers are bottoms -- if there's typos or that ilk in the original, it's nice to be able to point out that WE didn't do it. (and if we notice a typo, we would flagg[sic] it like that <--
[00:55:40] <Bytram> s/are/our/
[00:55:42] <exec> <Bytram> well it also covers our bottoms -- if there's typos or that ilk in the original, it's nice to be able to point out that WE didn't do it. (and if we notice a typo, we would flagg[sic] it like that <--
[00:55:50] <Bytram> try it!
[00:55:56] <SoylentSnow> ahh i see
[00:55:56] <SoylentSnow> k
[00:56:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> you can nest blockquotes as well. like if the bbc is quoting yahoo and you're quoting the bbc.
[00:56:50] <SoylentSnow> so, if using differenct sources, like I did, then, in this example, would I use 3 sets of blockquotes?
[00:57:02] <Bytram> well...
[00:57:07] <Bytram> let's step back for a sec.
[00:57:29] <Bytram> one of our most prolific submitters likes to put his link into the quoted text, even though it was not there originally
[00:57:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> three sources, three blockquotes? sounds right but i'll leave it to edity guy there cause all i can do is spell.
[00:57:40] <Bytram> I prefer to provide the link prior to the quoted text.
[00:58:20] <SoylentSnow> just a raw link, or an a hrefed one?
[00:58:59] <Bytram> The <a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-38018209">BBC noted:<blockquote>Sentence 1Sentence 2</blockquote>
[00:59:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> proper links are more pretty if you can find some appropriate words to pin them on
[00:59:01] <exec> └─ 13Page not found - BBC News
[00:59:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> like that
[01:00:21] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: btw, where in the world does the site turn "<quote>" (a made-up tag for the site) into: <div style="quote"> ?? It should just turn it into a blockquote and be done with it.
[01:01:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> it should but such is life. not worth the man hours to fix at this point.
[01:02:14] <charon> how do you paragraph break inside <blockquote>? it collapsed carriage returns when i tried. do i have to ?
[01:02:36] <Bytram> and then, when the site sees "<blockquote>" it changes it to be "<blockquote><div>" :/
[01:02:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> <blockquote>paragraph oneparagraph 2</blockquote>
[01:02:57] <Bytram> good question.... look back at my example above
[01:03:08] <Bytram> see the "Sentence 1"
[01:03:16] <Bytram> each of those is a "P"aragraph
[01:03:27] <charon> doh, i didn't realize worked inside
[01:03:50] <Bytram> ummm, let me correct myself. the BBC is famous for using lots of paragraphs that have one sentence in each of them. :P
[01:03:54] <Bytram> yep!
[01:04:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> well sure. they get downright cranky when you outside. at least in cities.
[01:04:02] <SoylentSnow> Okay, so I looked a little deeper and the 1+3 paragraph are mismashs of the bbc story. Sentances picked from here and there. How should that be handled?
[01:04:15] <Bytram> quote them in order?
[01:04:39] <SoylentSnow> like 5 additional quotes of one sentace each?
[01:04:42] <SoylentSnow> that's crazy...
[01:05:29] <Bytram> one quote which contains 5 sentences... and if they appeared on the BBC as 5 paragraphs, we are QUOTING that site, so we present it exactly as they did... but...
[01:05:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> if they're picked apart pieces, yeah. or put a ... in between the bits of the same story. eds like the former though it seems.
[01:06:24] * TheMightyBuzzard wanders out for nicotine since nobody bothered to laugh at his outside joke
[01:06:33] <SoylentSnow> hmm, I got an idea
[01:06:37] <charon> i laughed... in my head
[01:07:17] <Bytram> I'll prolly not remember, but what browser to you normally use?
[01:07:25] <Bytram> charon: !! hi
[01:07:40] <charon> so exec tells me janrinok sent me a message on dev, but i see it not? am i looking in the wrong spot?
[01:07:44] <FatPhil> house style seems to just begin the neqt quoted para with [...], noy have a standalone para for the elision
[01:07:52] <charon> hiyo Bytram
[01:07:57] <Bytram> FatPhil++ yuppers.
[01:07:57] <Bender> karma - fatphil: 1
[01:08:35] <Bytram> we are mindful that some of the people viewing the site do not have a 3084x1920, 27" monitor
[01:08:56] <Bytram> so, we make some allowances to reduce the amount of vertical white space.
[01:12:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> charon, messages on dev should show up linked over on the right by your karma if you're logged in
[01:13:30] <charon> that's where i'm looking. none on dev and no new on live
[01:14:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> check again, i just sent one
[01:15:12] <charon> nothing
[01:15:20] <SoylentSnow> okay, I redid the story a bit
[01:15:21] <charon> should be more or less instant, right?
[01:15:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh, slashd had crashed. give it a few after it restarts.
[01:15:38] <SoylentSnow> I but 1+3 in one block, but added [...] to show it wasn't contigous
[01:15:57] <SoylentSnow> s/but/put/
[01:15:59] <exec> <SoylentSnow> I put 1+3 in one block, but added [...] to show it wasn't contigous
[01:16:03] * Bytram refreshes
[01:16:20] <SoylentSnow> sorry, I think I was working against somone that was trying to pretty it up
[01:16:48] <Bytram> that was probably just be looking at it.
[01:20:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> charon, message_delivery run manually. you have some now.
[01:21:35] <charon> still no
[01:21:38] <Bytram> SoylentSnow: okay, step back for a moment and then just re-read the story as it now appears... how *readable* is it? There's an art to combining accuracy of content with presentation in an enjoyable format. It comes with practice and experience...
[01:22:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> hrm....
[01:22:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh, you have messages turned off for some reason
[01:22:53] <Bytram> As a suggestion, in light of your recent efforts in writing a story, it might be illustrative to go to the prod site (prod==production, i.e. https://soylentnews.org) and scan over the main page to get a *feel* for this.
[01:22:55] <exec> └─ 13404 File Not Found

[01:23:05] <charon> oh hell
[01:23:05] <exec> └─ 13Dev.SN Message Center
[01:23:24] <Bytram> need to make some dinner... back in a few
[01:23:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> you'll definitely want Admin to User Messages
[01:24:14] <charon> i never even looked at the settings. assumed they'd default to something sane like accept messages
[01:24:43] <Bytram> charon: keep in mind that this is just part of getting up-to-speed... after editing a few stories, and getting a new "view" of how stories are presented on the site, it'll come MUCH easier.
[01:24:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> here if that other link don't work https://dev.soylentnews.org
[01:24:58] <exec> └─ 13Log In
[01:25:21] <charon> ok, messages enabled mostly. will those lost ones be delivered now or lost forever?
[01:25:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> lost forever. which is fine. Deucalion doesn't have enough to do anyway.
[01:26:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> or was it janrinok who sent you one?
[01:26:31] <Bytram> remember, ultimately we are editors, not writers, so I try to keep the gist of the original submission, correct typos and grammar errors as needed, nudge the submission into a consistent look-and-feel for the site, and then, if needed, add additional info to fill it in.
[01:26:37] <charon> it was janrinok. i'll send him a tell
[01:26:53] <Bytram> okay, tummy is growling... biab
[01:27:04] <charon> thanks, TMB
[01:28:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> yar. you have a message again now
[01:28:19] <SoylentSnow> I moved things around, how is that?
[01:30:48] <charon> TheMightyBuzzard: uh. maybe i broke something. still no message. my settings for message dleivery are all "web" where possible but nothing

[01:35:35] <SoylentSnow> haha, aren't we supposed to be sensitive when a death is involved
[01:35:35] <Bytram> lol
[01:35:42] <SoylentSnow> I was apperantly pretty terrible...
[01:35:58] <Bytram> gallows humor, I think it is called

[01:36:03] <charon> aye
[01:36:05] <exec> <SoylentSnow> I was apperantly pretty territble...
[01:36:27] <SoylentSnow> territble, lol
[01:36:33] <Bytram> not to wooory aboot typoos heere
[01:37:22] <SoylentSnow> Anyways, I merged some things to improve readibility. I think it looks better and I added a bit more. I'm going for dinner, so take a peek when you have a moment
[01:37:30] <Bytram> k
[01:47:59] <cmn32480> typos prove that your mind works faster than your fingers
[01:48:28] <Bytram> SoylentSnow: is much better... for the future, be aware of paragraph breaks in the quoted original (which were NOT present in the original submission you started from) we'll call this one done for now and move on to another.
[01:48:47] <Bytram> cmn32480: !! hi
[01:49:00] <cmn32480> holy scrollback batman

[01:50:13] <charon> not sure generic beer is really a win
[01:50:53] <Bytram> FYI: I have an early day tomorrow and an engagement to attend after that, proly won't be up until my usual hour tonight, and will be mostly unavail tomorrow during the day
[01:50:55] <cmn32480> exdec said generic

[01:52:09] <Bytram> well, I not gone yet... stil have dinner to eat and will prolly hang around for another hour or so.
[01:52:59] * cmn32480 starts skimming scrollback
[01:53:30] <charon> ~tell janrinok i am an idiot and has messages turned off. can you resend?
[01:56:20] <charon> great, from the typo in that message, he'll think i still have them off...
[01:57:22] <Bytram> nah, he'll understand... he's pretty sharp that way.
[01:57:30] <Bytram> =)
[01:57:42] <Bytram> afk brb
[01:57:48] <charon> i guess you have to read fluent typo around here
[01:59:40] <Bytram> comes with the territory
[02:03:27] <cmn32480> we typo a lot arond these parts
[02:03:52] * cmn32480 needs to take out the trash...
[02:03:56] <cmn32480> after this beer
[02:04:08] <charon> priorities
[02:10:40] <cmn32480> it IS a priority
[02:10:44] <cmn32480> warm beer sucks
[02:12:14] <Bytram> keep a cold mug in the freezer
[02:12:53] <Bytram> or get a beer that doesn't suck when warm aka Guiness =)
[02:13:12] <charon> why put it in a mug when a bottle of beer is a perfect drinking device?

[02:16:07] * cmn32480 goes to take out the garbage
[02:16:42] * Bytram goes to do the dishes
[02:17:12] * charon ponders how to edit things
[02:26:29] <charon> how do we deal with inline quotes? it's only about 20 words, does it get a blockquote of its own, or italics, or just plain quotation marks?
[02:28:02] <cmn32480> generally any quote from the article gets a blockquote
[02:31:08] <charon> I have a story ready if any editors have a few minutes
[02:31:22] <cmn32480> linky?
[02:31:23] <Bytram> that's a good general rule. Once in a while, if the quoted part fits in with the phrasing of a paragraph, I'll just include it in quotation marks, but that is the exception as it also needs to be acknowledged as to its source, which can become problematic. So, for now, blockquotes are the way to go if at all unsure.

[03:07:34] <Bytram|away> Quote of the week from http://mobile.nytimes.com
[03:07:44] <Bytram|away> In the seven decades he was at M.I.T., Professor Forrester retained an engineer’s curiosity about how things work, and occasionally voiced dismay that his students were not always so inclined.
[03:07:44] <Bytram|away> He recalled in 2011 that he once asked students in an engineering class if they understood how the feedback mechanism in a toilet’s water tank maintained the water level.
[03:07:44] <Bytram|away> “I asked them, ‘How many of you have ever taken the lid off a toilet tank to see how it works?’” he recalled. “None of them had. How do you get to M.I.T. without having ever looked inside a toilet tank?”

[21:13:45] <janrinok> go ahead
[21:13:51] <charon> I have powers on live now, but should I wait to use them under someone's guidance?
[21:14:17] <janrinok> I had left a handful of stories to be 2nd'ed but someone beat you too it!
[21:14:22] <charon> i know
[21:14:43] <charon> you guys work hard
[21:14:48] <charon> and fast
[21:14:52] <janrinok> have a look at the kind of subs we are getting. Some need a lot of work, others are almost ready to go.
[21:15:25] <janrinok> I'll be around tomorrow and happy to watch over you all while you each process a story if you want
[21:16:05] <charon> your TZ is GMT?
[21:16:08] <janrinok> alternatively, do a story and put it in the queue but the the display option DESELECTED. Another ed can have a look at it before either helping you
[21:16:13] <janrinok> or releasing ti
[21:16:29] <janrinok> GMT+1 but close enough
[21:16:43] <charon> ah, that's a good idea. i have a couple subs that i wanted to try my hand at
[21:17:33] <janrinok> the queues are good for another 12 hours at least, so I should be able to look at them before we have to make a decision
[21:18:06] <charon> ok, I will do a couple tonight and set them to not display
[21:18:09] <janrinok> P666's and takyon's subs are usually the easiest - very little to do with them normally
[21:18:14] <charon> boring
[21:18:16] <janrinok> np
[21:18:38] <janrinok> lol - go for one from MrPlow or exec then - that'll give you something to do
[21:19:54] <nick> i like the enthusiasm
[21:20:26] <janrinok> so do I - it'll be nice to not have to fill 6-8 hours worth of queue everyday too!
[21:20:58] <janrinok> nick, are you back in the UK now or still travelling the globe?
[21:21:15] <nick> still travelling, plan on doing so for a while
[21:21:35] <janrinok> good, and good for business too, I assume?
[21:22:47] <nick> remains to be seen. i'm considering new opportunities and changing approaches. i didn't feel there was any more progress to be made on my current path without ever increasing sacrifices
[21:23:16] <janrinok> understood. Nice to hear from you again though, I was hoping you hadn't just faded away
[21:25:42] <nick> things had been in a pretty bad situation in recent months, which made me made the final decision to try something new... as i mentioned in my journal reply to takyon... i was not surprised but disappointed that a couple of my submissions here that i spent time and effort on got rejected with no reason given... i ran out of energy to contribute to the site
[21:27:16] <janrinok> I make an effort to give a reason for rejections, not quite sure what happened with yours. Sorry that fell through the cracks.
[21:27:30] <nick> my contributions were not adding the value i hoped, not been great to keep an eye on the RSS feed for here and be kind of 'meh' at the stories.
[21:27:48] <janrinok> however, you are always welcome back here, you know that I hope?
[21:28:52] <janrinok> if you are really bored, we have a handful of enthusiastic new bloods who need managing!
[21:29:59] <nick> i know it wasn't anything personal, and i wasn't surprised about the rejections, i was disappointed no one brought up their concerns with me though and just let them sit in the queue for a month.
[21:30:37] <nick> as before, i'm happy to help, and i can hopefully be more constructive now i'm in a better place and not stressed constantly
[21:31:07] <janrinok> I don't remember them - but I've had ups and downs with S as I mentioned earlier - but that's no excuse of course.
[21:31:45] <janrinok> I think you were fortunate to miss the silly political season - I'm not sorry to see the back of that
[21:32:56] <nick> my stories were related to that, but i could also see the growing atmosphere around those kind of stories, didn't feel like it was a good environment for nuanced discussion
[21:33:00] <nick> which is sad in itself
[21:33:14] <janrinok> You had every right to be disappointed with your treatment - you have put a lot of effort in here. However, nobody deserves to be ignored like that
[21:34:05] <janrinok> most of those stories - IMO - resulting in mud slinging rather than an intelligent discussion. There were good moment too of course, but far too much noise that the signal was being lost
[21:34:37] <nick> got to pick your battles, for all the disappointment, it was still good to prove that editors don't get special treatment ;)
[21:34:51] <nick> even if it came at the cost of my 100% accepted submissions record!
[21:35:02] <janrinok> I'll use this as a teaching point for the new guys too - show them how mistakes have been made and the cost that it has
[21:36:38] <nick> please be sure that i'm not blaming anyone or anything like that... i know you guys as much as me have so much shit going on, doing what you can with the time you can find
[21:37:35] <janrinok> but it is in nobody's interest to piss of people who are making submissions - that is counter-productive and we cannot afford to behave that way, as well as being simply rude

[23:07:07] * cmn32480 reads the backscroll incase these questions are already asked and answered

[23:07:22] <nick> yeah, i talked with janrinok earlier
[23:07:26] <nick> no
[23:07:40] <nick> back in south america for the moment, but options are open
[23:07:53] <cmn32480> semi-permanent in SA?
[23:08:52] <nick> probably going to use it as a base, but i hope to do some more travelling for a few months
[23:09:22] <cmn32480> excellent
[23:09:26] <nick> trying not to do too much of the working and stressing
[23:09:43] <cmn32480> sounds like thigns are finally coming together
[23:09:44] <nick> how have you been?
[23:09:59] * cmn32480 is glad to hear it. and glad to see you coming back around
[23:10:03] <cmn32480> busy as hell
[23:10:11] <cmn32480> the proverbial 1-armed paper hanger
[23:10:54] <nick> being kept on the road yourself still?
[23:11:26] <cmn32480> oh yeah
[23:11:31] <cmn32480> most of the last 3-4 months
[23:11:45] <cmn32480> but I got a "break" when I busted my ankle
[23:12:08] <nick> now you get to catch up!
[23:12:29] <nick> not fun breaking an ankle though :( healing up ok?
[23:13:37] <cmn32480> it's been about 9 weeks... and so far so good
[23:13:49] <cmn32480> I'm out of the fracture boot.
[23:14:02] <cmn32480> wore sneakers for the first time since Sept. 3 the other day
[23:14:10] <cmn32480> that was almost reason to party
[23:15:21] <nick> yeah i bet
[23:15:36] <cmn32480> tehy say 3-6 months before being 100%... I'm hoping for the shorter
[23:16:08] <nick> the wife and kids cut you some slack?
[23:16:23] <cmn32480> hell no
[23:16:26] <nick> heh
[23:16:43] <cmn32480> worst wa that I broke it on a hike w/ the cub scouts
[23:16:51] <cmn32480> I've been receiving no end of crap
[23:17:03] <SoylentSnow> What?! You are practically a hero!
[23:17:37] <cmn32480> #smake SoylentSnow
[23:17:37] * MrPlow smakes SoylentSnow upside the head with a plate of chicken n waffles
[23:18:56] <nick> ok, that is as funny as breaking an ankle can be
[23:19:09] <cmn32480> yeah
[23:19:10] <SoylentSnow> I'm just saying... It could have been falling off the roof or doing something stupid. But breaking while helping kids....
[23:19:12] <cmn32480> but I got lucky
[23:19:26] <nick> SoylentSnow, not so much helping kids when he's the liability...
[23:19:36] <SoylentSnow> I guess, heh
[23:19:42] <cmn32480> Dr says that if I broke it abot a hlaf inch further up, I'd ahve been in plaster and crutches for 8 weeks
[23:20:59] <nick> that is pretty lucky
[23:21:13] <cmn32480> all things considered.. I'd say so
[23:21:44] <nick> glad you're ok and the family isn't giving you a break ;)

[23:22:28] <mrpg> Is this a good submission? Music Group Confirms What.CD Raid, Claims Millions in Losses
[23:22:57] <cmn32480> on dev?
[23:22:58] <cmn32480> prod?
[23:23:02] <cmn32480> limbo?
[23:23:05] <cmn32480> Jupiter?
[23:23:15] <cmn32480> or just the topic in general?
[23:23:39] <mrpg> prod
[23:25:20] <cmn32480> the mrplow sub?

[23:25:49] <exec> └─ 13What.cd Shuts Down Following Reported Raids in France - TorrentFreak: SoylentNews Submission
[23:26:24] <mrpg> I don't have access to prod yet, I saw it in torrentfreak.
[23:26:54] <mrpg> So it is already in, ok :)
[23:27:08] <cmn32480> i think it is already ther.. but it is a mrplow subu
[23:27:27] <cmn32480> so if you like it and want to write it up, that's always better than a mrplow/exec sub with jsut a link in them
[23:27:44] <cmn32480> and yes the topic is good
[23:27:46] <GreatOutdoors> I am present if anyone has anything that needs to be gone over with a new guy. I have been in contact with janrinok a bit already, but we are never online at the same time.
[23:28:05] <cmn32480> how much do you already know?
[23:28:12] <cmn32480> 1) A lot
[23:28:18] <cmn32480> 2) virtually nothing
[23:28:28] <cmn32480> 3) I can read, but this about it
[23:28:47] * cmn32480 is feeling rather snarky tonight
[23:28:57] <nick> lol
[23:29:12] <cmn32480> starting a vacation will do that to ya
[23:29:25] <nick> i'm getting all nostalgic now for when you first started out ;)
[23:29:25] <GreatOutdoors> 3.5?
[23:29:34] <cmn32480> you can read big words?
[23:29:50] <nick> use all caps.
[23:29:55] <GreatOutdoors> hellifiknow :)
[23:30:25] * cmn32480 finds nick's nostalgia highly unlikely
[23:30:58] <nick> i remember my own snarky relief at having some fresh meat to grind down
[23:32:07] <SoylentSnow> Well gentlemen... It's 4:30 in my part of the world, so I'm heading home. I've enjoyed lurking here today. Until next time!
[23:32:20] <GreatOutdoors> Adios

[23:32:30] * SoylentSnow Trots off into the sunset riding his white horse

[23:32:50] -!- SoylentSnow has quit [Quit: Web client closed]
[23:33:20] <nick> if my horrible little chinese rental car can make it that far...
[23:33:37] <GreatOutdoors> Really though, I have the wiki link to the editing process and I believe that janrinok has me setup on the dev server with permissions.
