[00:07:35] <Bytram> commencing weekend story spacing
[00:07:39] <Fnord666> Evening all
[00:08:04] <Fnord666> Thanks chromas for pushing stories out last night!!
[00:08:23] <Bytram> Fnord666!!
[00:08:40] <Fnord666> Bytram!!
[00:08:56] <Bytram> watts opp?
[00:09:26] <Fnord666> Thanks to you also. I was stuck in the Philly airport until early this morning waiting to see if the plane was going to make it.
[00:09:37] <Bytram> blarg!
[00:09:56] <Bytram> I assume that, eventually, it succeeded?
[00:10:03] <Fnord666> At some point they had to jump start the plane
[00:10:17] <Fnord666> Yeah, we all got out and pushed
[00:10:27] <Fnord666> ok not really
[00:10:48] <Bytram> *laughter*
[00:11:15] <Bytram> there's always that *one* person who kept the engines from starting because they had not fastened their belt!
[00:11:21] <Fnord666> The pilot's trying to explain what's going on and everyone just wants less talkin and more flyin
[00:11:42] <Fnord666> In this case the APU (Aux Power Unit) was not working
[00:11:55] <Fnord666> which is what they use to start the engines
[00:12:10] <Bytram> hence the need to get out and push
[00:12:16] <Fnord666> they wanted to do a hot turnaround, fueling the plane with one engine still running
[00:12:28] <Bytram> zoinks!
[00:12:29] <Fnord666> the ground crew said hell no
[00:12:45] <Fnord666> so they had to get an external starter once the fueling was done
[00:12:45] <Bytram> good crew
[00:12:54] <Bytram> yuppers...
[00:13:03] <Bytram> On your marks.... Bang!
[00:13:03] <Fnord666> that was the first of two legs
[00:13:11] <Fnord666> the second we never heard details
[00:13:17] <Bytram> you're not pulling my leg, are you?
[00:13:30] <Fnord666> nope
[00:13:50] <Fnord666> First leg 1.5 hours behind but I had a 2.5 hour layover
[00:14:06] <Fnord666> didn't matter becaus ethe second leg left 3.5 houts late
[00:14:19] <Fnord666> s/houts/hours/
[00:14:20] <exec> <Fnord666> didn't matter becaus ethe second leg left 3.5 hours late
[00:14:22] <Bytram> that... stinks!
[00:15:08] <Fnord666> It was not great
[00:15:36] <Fnord666> But I'm home now so....
[00:15:46] <Fnord666> anyway how's things your way?
[00:15:50] <Bytram> something almost, but not entirely unlike, weak tea
[00:16:26] <Fnord666> lol
[00:17:28] * Bytram can never quite remember exactly how that one goes

[00:20:58] <Bytram> here it is, in all its glory:
[00:20:58] <Bytram> .
[00:20:59] <Bytram> “After a fairly shaky start to the day, Arthur's mind was beginning to reassemble itself from the shell-shocked fragments the previous day had left him with.
[00:20:59] <Bytram> He had found a Nutri-Matic machine which had provided him with a plastic cup filled with a liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.
[00:20:59] <Bytram> The way it functioned was very interesting. When the Drink button was pressed it made an instant but highly detailed examination of the subject's taste buds, a spectroscopic analysis of the subject's metabolism and then sent tiny experimental signals down the neural pathways to the taste centers of the subject's brain to see what was likely to go down well. However, no one knew quite why it did this because it invariably delivered a
[00:21:03] <Bytram> cupful of liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.”

[03:21:16] <chromas> Holes aside, the protocol only supports 8-character passwords
[03:24:24] <Bytram> 8 *characters* or 8 *bytes* ??
[03:25:21] <Bytram> Unicode has something like 40k different 'characters" (technically code points which are presented as glyphs)
[03:25:50] <Bytram> (I could be off by +/- 10k or more on that)
[03:25:59] <chromas> both. Consider the ascii :)
[03:26:23] <chromas> Anyhow, it only supports 8 octets and the rest are psilently discarded
[03:26:46] <Bytram> ahhh, kinda what I expected. t
[03:26:48] <Bytram> ty
[03:26:49] <Fnord666> Well kiss my ascii
[03:28:05] <Fnord666> time to feed the queue
[03:28:29] <Bytram> better than EBCDIC with non-contiguous bytes for characters
[03:29:07] <Bytram> IOW: [a-z] != [abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz]
[03:31:05] <Bytram> .
[03:32:39] <Bytram> well that is going to have to do it for me. I've got the late shift at work tomorrow, but the nearby construction site starts around 7:45 AM and there's no sleeping past the jackhammers and blasting.
[03:32:55] <Bytram> Have a great night everybody!

[13:13:56] <janrinok> how's things with you and Pinky?
[13:14:49] <Bytram> woke up, had a burst of energy, and now am tempted to back to bed... have the late shift tonight so due in to work in 4.25 hrs and not out until 9 hours later
[13:15:23] <janrinok> give in to your temptation - have another hour or two in bed!
[13:15:47] <janrinok> queues are find until tomorrow
[13:15:52] <janrinok> fine*
[13:15:59] <Bytram> that does sound like a good idea...
[13:16:08] <Bytram> yes, I noticed that -- thank you!
[13:16:29] <Bytram> and I have tomorrow off, so maybe can catch up on some home obligations, too.
[13:17:10] <janrinok> I've had a visit from my son - who I haven't seen for over 18 months. And S had a series of med appts over the last few days
[13:21:13] <Bytram> busy busy busy!
[13:21:26] <Bytram> hope you were all able to enjoy the visit!
