[08:46:28] <SoyCow8419> The story about the hurricane has an unclosed <small> tag in it.
[08:52:59] <SoyCow8419> It's affecting the main page.
[08:55:19] <chromas> Looks normal for me. You logged in? And which theme?

[08:55:24] <chromas> or maybe it was fixed
[11:51:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> cmn32480, doing a linux birthday post up. gimme about 10m and i should have ya something to push.
[11:51:39] <cmn32480> ok
[12:08:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> cmn32480, subbed
[12:09:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> nothin fancy, just birthday wishes and the original newsgroup post
[12:10:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> fills space and gives fanbois a place to argue though
[12:11:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> stuffing things in from my feeds now via bot
[12:24:40] <Bytram> my bad on the Hurricane Harvey story... fixed up non-closed </blockquote> and removed extra <HR> tag
[12:25:03] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: thanks for the story sub!
[12:25:10] * Bytram hopes you are feeling better!
[12:25:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> taking 1300mg of tylenol every eight hours. keeps all but an annoying ache under control.
[12:26:15] <Bytram> nod nod
[12:26:34] <Bytram> careful on tylenol -- is hell on the kidney (I think... o/w liver)
[12:26:55] <cmn32480> dumped a couple in... I've gotta run to the customer site.
[12:27:02] <cmn32480> liver
[12:27:33] <Bytram> Liver? that's nothing a few drinks can't take care of! ;)
[12:27:36] <cmn32480> tylenol is the liver, but you have to take large quantities with alcohol (I think)
[12:27:42] <Bytram> ba dum tish!
[12:27:55] <cmn32480> it's nasty if hyou take a lot of it.
[12:28:15] <Bytram> not interested in trying.
[12:28:18] <cmn32480> but then, NOTHING like that si really good for you in large quantity
[12:28:25] <Bytram> nod nod
[12:28:30] <Bytram> don't miss it
[12:29:13] <cmn32480> understood
[12:29:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> not sweating it. i won't be on it long and the liver can heal itself better than any other part of the body.
[12:29:39] <cmn32480> all right kids... I gotta run
[12:29:43] <cmn32480> have a good day
[12:29:49] <cmn32480> hope you feel better Buzzard
[12:30:06] <Bytram> and I gotta run,, too...
[12:30:08] <Bytram> laters!
[12:30:11] <cmn32480> c-ya
[12:30:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> laters to both of ya

[22:48:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> sorry, eds, i stepped all over your story spacing with a meta article. https://soylentnews.org
[22:48:56] <upstart> ^ 03Error
[22:49:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's timed there because i wanted it out before the next round of mod points.
[23:03:06] * Deucalion waves at the mighty eds
[23:46:54] * Bytram waves back at Deucalion
[23:47:40] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: no problem... one of the ideas with having other nexuses is that they can go out at times *other* than regularly scheduled stories... for those who want just "The Main Page", they'd not see anything different.

[23:49:24] * Deucalion awkwardly hugs Bytram before skittishly scooting off.... good to see you
[23:50:33] * Bytram looks around, wonders where THAT came from, smiles inwardly, and heads back to look at the rest of the backscroll on #Soylent before tentatively looking at the story submission queue
[23:54:48] * Deucalion moves in mysterious ways. I reckon if it's good enough for that self promotional, come lately, self proclaimed Lord it's good enough for me. :D /me moves in more mysterious ways
[23:55:52] * Deucalion causes a cloud to become food for the entire planet for a millenia. Thus it is written, thus it is so.
[23:56:13] <Deucalion> ^^ They'll write a book about me in a while :D
[23:56:59] * Bytram ponders, when people have had their fill of 'cloud food' and some time has passed, will their sh*t float back up to the heavens?
