[15:29:48] <janrinok> in between guests at the moment
[15:30:05] <Bytram> nod nod
[15:30:08] <janrinok> but we are coping
[15:30:11] <Bytram> I should have gust

[15:31:31] <janrinok> wx will be crap starting tomorrow
[15:31:38] <Bytram> ugh
[15:31:45] <janrinok> strong winds and rain forecast for the next 3-4 days
[15:31:50] <Bytram> had lotsa rain here last night
[15:31:55] <Bytram> Ugh.
[15:32:00] <janrinok> well you can keep it!
[15:32:03] <Bytram> Better than snow, though!
[15:32:25] <janrinok> we've had a mild winter until now, so we shouldn't really complain
[15:32:41] <Bytram> interesting.
[15:33:19] <janrinok> wetter than usual, but nowhere near as cold as expected
[15:33:29] <Bytram> Growing up, most years it was *dreaming* of a white christmas. This year we got snow early and often.
[15:34:14] <janrinok> how's your pinky?
[15:34:51] <Bytram> We must have had at least 18 inches (~.4 m) before xmas
[15:34:55] <Bytram> still there
[15:34:57] <Bytram> =)
[15:35:07] <janrinok> still misbehaving?
[15:35:34] <Bytram> okay, I think I'm adapting as mush as it is getting better. Still occasionally hit caps lock by accident, o/w ok
[15:35:46] <Bytram> s/mush/much/
[15:35:47] <exec> <Bytram> okay, I think I'm adapting as much as it is getting better. Still occasionally hit caps lock by accident, o/w ok
[15:36:15] <janrinok> you've been sub'ing well. I was trying to find a story that you _hadn't_ subbed the other day!
[15:36:21] <Bytram> LOL
[15:36:49] <Bytram> problem with my subbing stories is that I really shouldn't then go and push them out.
[15:37:13] <Bytram> hard to do with =submit as it names the submitter.
[15:37:28] <janrinok> that's the downside of upstart - you can't see who has submitted it until you click on the sub
[15:37:33] <Bytram> Can kinda get away with it using ~arthur, but I try to keep that to a minimum
[15:37:42] <janrinok> but other than that, the bots are lifesavers
[15:37:47] <Bytram> yep
[15:38:10] <Bytram> I mentioned the same to chromas recently
[15:38:11] <janrinok> not sure how to use cite - I'm not sure where it puts the results...
[15:38:22] <Bytram> right back here in IRC
[15:38:33] <janrinok> not seeing it here
[15:38:55] <Bytram> =cite http://dx.doi.org

[15:39:00] <exec> └─ 13Error: DOI Not Found
[15:39:11] <Bytram> ^^^ do you see that?
[15:39:24] <janrinok> yes, but you had to give it the cite first...?
[15:39:36] <Bytram> just something in which it can find the DOI
[15:39:39] <Bytram> IIUC
[15:39:43] <janrinok> if I've got that from the source, I don't need 'cite' here
[15:39:49] <Bytram> let's try this...
[15:39:51] <janrinok> ah, OK
[15:39:57] <Bytram> =cite https://www.sciencedaily.com
[15:39:58] <systemd> A fast radio burst tracked down to a nearby galaxy, <cite></cite> (DOI: <a href="https://doi.org/"></a>)

[15:40:00] <exec> └─ 13Page Not Found
[15:40:12] <Bytram> Hrrrm, not so good.
[15:40:43] <janrinok> OK, I've got the idea. By that time I have already parsed the source so it is either there or there isn't a cite.
[15:40:56] <Bytram> It has worked for me aBout 5-% of the time, but I am still kind of feeling it out, so to speak.
[15:41:06] <Bytram> nod ndo
[15:41:14] <janrinok> np - if it helps at all it is worth keeping
[15:41:19] <Bytram> yep
[15:42:17] <Bytram> One of the comments on the site I saw a month or two ago was an accolade for our providing the journal refs....
[15:42:19] <janrinok> I'm working the other way round. I give it a URL and it extracts the cite and puts it in the submission (well, some of the time)
[15:42:35] <janrinok> yes I saw that too - keep it now!
[15:42:44] <Bytram> so, I try and look for a cite if I do not already see it in the story.
[15:42:51] <Bytram> yep
[15:44:20] <Bytram> let's try another one
[15:44:23] <Bytram> =cite http://www.innovations-report.com

[15:44:41] <janrinok> I just haven't got enough time to edit, write programs, and do all the other things I want to do - except for Sundays where I refuse to do housework other than cooking
[15:44:42] <Bytram> didn't expect anything, but worth a try
[15:44:53] <Bytram> Good. For. You.
[15:48:28] <janrinok> Had any more thoughts about recruiting new eds?
[15:48:44] <janrinok> ... not that you have much time to think the last few weeks
[15:49:01] <Bytram> yes, I have, actually.
[15:49:32] <Bytram> thanks for the reminder.
[15:50:51] <janrinok> you'll be cursing me now for having found another job that needs doing :)
[15:51:43] <Bytram> nah. Invest now for payoff later.
[15:52:24] <Bytram> would *VERY* much appreciate your review of the story I'm writing before it goes live.
[15:52:54] <janrinok> OK, I'm around for the next hour or so but not necessarily sat at the kbd
[15:53:13] <Bytram> Am just starting writing it now. but have been mulling it over for a few days, so should have a draft ready in an hour or so. Hopefully less.
[15:53:21] <Bytram> nod nod
[15:53:39] <janrinok> well, I'll be back on and off over the next 4-5 hours I expect
[15:53:43] <Bytram> k
[16:57:20] <Bytram> Whelp. Is gonna take longer than I expected.
[17:09:37] <Bytram> Okay, it's in the story queue, as NOT display. Feel free to take a look and/or update. I need to take a nap in preparation for a night shift starting in six hours and running to who knows how long.
[17:10:15] <Bytram> janrinok: Enjoyed the chat! Have a great day!
[17:10:18] <Bytram> laters
[17:56:42] <janrinok> Bytram, it looks good to me. I've made no changes to it, nor have I changed its status
[18:05:11] <janrinok> I can make myself available for training if you want me to assist, and I hope to continue to contribute as an editor but only as much as time allows.
