[03:14:16] <Bytram> #fite Hephaestus
[03:14:16] <MrPlow> #fite spam going to channel #fite
[03:14:22] <MrPlow> #fite Hephaestus falls broken at Bytram's feet.
[03:22:02] <charon> ahoy bytram
[03:22:12] <nick> Bytram !!
[03:30:09] <Bytram> ahoy.
[03:30:19] <Bytram> sry... was away from the kbd
[03:30:39] <charon> tool late, i gave up on you
[03:31:02] <charon> how are you doing?
[03:31:19] <Bytram> a bit tired. 2nd day back at work
[03:31:38] <charon> healing properly?
[03:31:48] <Bytram> had a busy start and things (thankfully) quieted down towards the end
[03:32:02] <Bytram> I thnk so
[03:32:26] <Bytram> first time I ever had this, but arm's swelling is going down and it looks a bit less red
[03:32:37] <Bytram> so, from what I can tell, things are getting better
[03:32:44] <Bytram> thanks for asking!
[03:32:44] <charon> sounds promising
[03:32:47] <Bytram> nod nod
[03:32:59] <Bytram> how are YOU doing?
[03:33:10] <charon> you should take a picture a day and have a time lapse video
[03:33:31] <Bytram> is a lot easier to conceive than it is to implement
[03:33:35] <charon> heh
[03:33:55] <Bytram> lack a proper camera and mounting system to take shots at same angle at same parts of arm
[03:34:12] <charon> yeah, probably not worth the effort
[03:34:22] <Bytram> zactly
[03:34:27] <Bytram> ever have a sunburn?
[03:34:32] <charon> yes
[03:34:44] <Bytram> and after a couple-three days it starts to 'shed' dry flakes of skin?
[03:34:49] <Bytram> have that going in spades atm
[03:34:54] <charon> eww
[03:35:15] <Bytram> itches, but not terribly so
[03:35:41] <Bytram> if I keep busy (and don't bump my bad finger) I don't really notice it.
[03:36:18] <charon> good
[03:36:53] <Bytram> I have a spot of 'necrotic tissue' just a little bit right-of-center at the tip of my middle finger on my left hand.
[03:37:00] <Bytram> makes typing a bit trikeier
[03:37:10] <Bytram> trickier! (see!!!!)
[03:37:23] <charon> heh
[03:37:37] <Bytram> !uid
[03:37:37] <Bender> The current maximum UID is 6474, owned by protobit
[03:37:41] <charon> typos are a way of like
[03:37:48] <Bytram> !grab charon
[03:37:48] <Bender> Added quote 51
[03:37:56] * charon laughs
[03:37:59] <Bytram> now THAT is a keeper!
[03:38:11] <Bytram> charon++ double entendre
[03:38:11] <Bender> karma - charon: 9
[03:38:19] <Bytram> charon++ and for good measure
[03:38:19] <Bender> karma - charon: 10
[03:38:26] <charon> f is nowhere near k. how the hell did i do that?
[03:38:51] <Bytram> I dunno... ask Froid?
[03:39:06] <charon> something about my mother, no doubt
[03:39:21] <Bytram> close but no cigar
[03:39:49] <charon> to answer your earlier question, i am pretty well. dull day at work, and i grabbed a pizza on the way home, so i am full and content
[03:40:00] <Bytram> totally unrelated, but I think it's pretty kewel: https://github.com
[03:40:13] <Bytram> pizza++
[03:40:13] <Bender> karma - pizza: 2
[03:40:24] <Bytram> that sounds absolutely marvelous right about now
[03:40:48] <Bytram> 'cept being on antibiotics, I had a quart of yogurt, instead, so as to help rebuild my gut's flora
[03:41:19] <Bytram> hmmmm
[03:41:38] <charon> mmm, bacteria
[03:41:53] <Bytram> lessee what happens... I'm pretty sure IRC does things to ASCII-fy text, but what the heck...

[03:44:43] <Bytram> there are standard glyphs (commonly referred to as 'letters')
[03:45:14] <Bytram> and then there are 'combining' characters that change the preceding glyph's appearance
[03:45:28] <charon> <IMG SRC=javascript:alert('XSS')>
[03:45:51] <charon> man, some twisted minds came up with all these edge cases
[03:45:57] <Bytram> like, instead of a single letter "U" with an umlaut, one could also write a 'normal' letter "U" followed by a combining char which contains the umlaut
[03:46:16] <Bytram> and those are my kind of minds!
[03:46:21] <charon> i see. so someone stacked up all those combinging glyphs on one letter

[03:50:27] <Bytram> I see they employed some ANSI escape sequences in there, too.
[03:50:28] <Bytram> Roses are [0;31mred, violets are [0;34mblue. Hope you enjoy terminal hue
[03:50:28] <Bytram> But now...[20Cfor my greatest trick...
[03:50:51] <Bytram> anyway, as much fun as I find this, I really should be getting myself to bed.
[03:51:02] <charon> ok. sleep well
[03:51:13] <Bytram> and the same to you, my friend, as well!
[03:51:30] <charon> <a href="\x08javascript:javascript:alert(1)" id="fuzzelement1">test</a>
[03:53:10] <Bytram> oh, I saw some discussion in scrollback asking about numbers of users we've added...here are the totals for the last few months:
[03:53:11] <Bytram> 2016-05 20
[03:53:12] <Bytram> 2016-06 31
[03:53:12] <Bytram> 2016-07 32
[03:53:12] <Bytram> 2016-08 31
[03:53:12] <Bytram> 2016-09 30
[03:53:13] <Bytram> 2016-10 22
[03:53:15] <Bytram> 2016-11 31
[03:53:17] <Bytram> 2016-12 31
[03:53:21] <Bytram> 2017-01 22
[03:53:39] <charon> not a lot. ~1/day
[03:53:39] <Bytram> on average, we add a new registered user each day
[03:53:55] <Bytram> agreed...
[03:54:24] <Bytram> but I'd rather have this than to suddenly have 1000 users join us from anonymous or 4chan
[03:54:42] <Bytram> in my book, quality > quantity
[03:55:06] <charon> true. but we will never know how many people leave and never come back. are we even at replacement level?
[03:55:25] <Bytram> that's harder to tell...
[03:55:58] <charon> i guess UIDs that have commented in the past month...?
[03:56:07] <Bytram> like whenI was in the hospital with no mobile access, I was away from the site for something like 4 days straight
[03:56:40] <Bytram> well, that would positively show *activity* -- that's much easier than trying to show *inactivity*
[03:57:04] <charon> hah, the Scunthorpe Problem
[03:57:09] <Bytram> =)
[03:58:19] <Bytram> will try and check back in in the morning before I head in to work; hope you have a good night and sleep well!
[03:58:32] <charon> thank you

[03:58:37] * exec buttmagically scissors a staff of tongue awareness month for Bytram
[03:59:06] <Bytram> oh, and I must say I am rather impressed on how you came in, got up to speed, and starting pushing out the stories -- well done! (which is MUCH better than half-baked!)

[19:01:01] <cmn32480> i can teach a lot of the wireless stuff...
[19:01:19] <cmn32480> but somehow, that self starter thing isn't teachable... they either are, or they are not.
[19:01:20] <janrinok> but you would like someone who can at least walk if not yet run
[19:01:26] <cmn32480> correct
[19:02:18] <cmn32480> and they need to understand that one of the two jobs I need to fill is prety entry lrevel...
[19:02:27] <cmn32480> not gonna be making a gerzzillion dollars a year
[19:02:53] <janrinok> but have to put up with idiot customers ...
[19:03:05] <cmn32480> yes
[19:04:40] * cmn32480 needs a drink
[19:04:56] <cmn32480> preferably the kind that comes out of the magic 12 year old barrels
[19:07:53] <janrinok> still got a couple of hours to go before you can think of an excuse to go home?
[19:08:51] <cmn32480> shit.. I'm thinking about just leaving and going to get drunk
[19:09:55] <cmn32480> hows things on taht side of the pond?
[19:10:24] <janrinok> damp, but not too cold, had my first drink about 1 hour ago
[19:11:01] * cmn32480 is super jealouse
[19:12:02] <janrinok> had our dinner - chicken and fennel braised in white wine - and taking it easy now. Still very tired after the holiday period...
[19:12:30] <cmn32480> I can imagine.. you have half of France through your house
[19:13:07] <janrinok> it's taking me longer to recover than usual, but I just take things at my own pace
[19:13:10] <cmn32480> and a chunck of the UK as well
[19:13:28] <cmn32480> we need to get you one of those sit down walkers?
[19:13:48] * cmn32480 rummages for some tennis balls to put on the bottom of the feet
[19:13:48] <janrinok> now there's a thought
[19:14:30] <cmn32480> or we just need to install a ouch in every room so you can nap more frequently?

[19:15:26] <janrinok> well, the work would just mount up if I did that, best I keep going at whatever rate suits me best
[19:32:03] <janrinok> cmn32480, I note that Marty is appearing again - have you heard how he is or any news of him?
[19:37:03] <cmn32480> he's out of th hospital
[19:37:12] <cmn32480> finger got infected
[19:37:20] <janrinok> thought that might be it
[19:37:29] <cmn32480> had the skin split and then missed the TP while wiping his ass or soemthing
[19:38:31] <janrinok> is he at home or back to work?
[19:40:40] <cmn32480> unknown
[19:40:44] <cmn32480> I think he is back at work.
[19:42:12] <janrinok> no peace for the wicked
[19:43:21] <cmn32480> basically
[19:43:27] <cmn32480> but the world runs on $$
[19:43:33] <cmn32480> you don't work, you dont' eat
[19:43:54] <cmn32480> crappy spot to be in, but I'm no different
[19:43:55] <janrinok> true - if you speak to him send him our best wishes - even S has been asking about him
