[00:23:42] <Fnord666> bytram - are we using weekend spacing through Monday (US holiday)?
[01:10:34] <Bytram> Hrmmm, let me check...
[01:13:44] <Bytram> Martin Luther King Jr. Day is observed on the third Monday of January each year
[01:13:55] * Bytram looks at a calendar
[01:14:35] * Bytram discovers that this coming monday IS a holiday
[01:16:41] <Bytram> Fnord666: janrinok: I see that MLK Day is an official *US* holiday. Until we get some other editors up to speed, I suggest we do ease back a bit and run weekend story spacing Sat-Sun, inclusive.
[01:16:57] <Bytram> Fnord666++ good catch!!

[02:28:55] <Fnord666> Sat-Sun or Sat-Mon?
[02:29:29] <Bytram> Sat + Sun + Mon
[02:29:43] <Fnord666> gotcha
[02:29:52] <Bytram> how ya doin?
[02:30:03] <Fnord666> good. yourself?
[02:30:18] <Fnord666> How's inventory going?
[02:30:21] <Bytram> finally finished with holiday season AND inventory...
[02:30:29] <Fnord666> yay!
[02:30:42] <Bytram> now back to a mostly "normal" retail schedule
[02:30:48] <Bytram> yes, indeed!
[02:31:14] <Bytram> still fighting this cold, but it's not bothering me as much as it had been...
[02:31:34] <Bytram> don't know if that means I'm feeling better, or getting more used to it!
[02:31:45] <Fnord666> Good question
[02:31:51] <Bytram> Huh?
[02:31:53] <Bytram> ;)
[02:32:12] <Fnord666> :)
[02:32:16] <Fnord666> indeed
[02:32:30] <Bytram> btw, noticed you've been doing one bang-up job keeping the story queue filled.... thank you SO MUCH!
[02:32:39] <Fnord666> I just wish the eather would decide what season it wants to be
[02:33:05] <Fnord666> s/eather/weather/
[02:33:07] <exec> <Fnord666> I just wish the weather would decide what season it wants to be
[02:33:30] <Fnord666> well hello exec! Did you decide to wake up this week?
[02:33:57] <Fnord666> Jan's the one knocking them out
[02:34:38] <Bytram> well, it's in the single digits atm, and about 6-8 inches of snow are due tomorrow night -- not much question of what season is going on over here!
[02:34:41] <Fnord666> And you've been doing quite a good job yourself
[02:34:45] <Bytram> meh
[02:35:05] <Fnord666> We had 60s one day and 20s the next
[02:35:09] <Bytram> about half my usual production, and that is being *generous*
[02:35:17] <Bytram> oouch
[02:35:34] <Bytram> would you prefer 20s all along?
[02:36:08] <Fnord666> yes I would. The warmer weather has been filled with rain and high winds
[02:36:19] <Bytram> Oh. Yuck!
[02:36:20] <Fnord666> cold and damp is my least favorite way to be
[02:36:52] <Fnord666> I would much rather it be 20s and snowy than upper 30s and rainy
[02:36:54] <Bytram> you'll get no argument from me

[02:38:24] <Bytram> RandomFactor: what did you do *that* for?
[02:38:43] <RandomFactor> #sammich
[02:38:43] * MrPlow whips up a 💩 sammich for RandomFactor
[02:39:52] <RandomFactor> Well, because
[02:39:58] <RandomFactor> !quote 26
[02:39:58] <Bender> Quote 26 - <Bytram> I'm pretty wiped atm, can you write upa quick story and I'll push it out for you?
[02:40:02] <RandomFactor> dammit
[02:40:27] <RandomFactor> the ORIGINAL was "Quote 26 <SpallsHurgenson> that sounded cleverer before I actually said it "
[02:41:00] <Bytram> depends on what channel was done the "!grab"
[02:41:10] <RandomFactor> hmmm
[02:41:17] <Fnord666> are the quotes common across all of the channels or unique per channel?
[02:41:38] <Bytram> !quote 26 here prolly != !quote 26 in #Soylent
[02:41:38] <Bender> No quotes found with the text '26 here prolly != !quote 26 in #Soylent'
[02:41:43] <Bytram> ]lol
[02:42:22] <RandomFactor> ~quote 918
[02:42:26] <RandomFactor> !quote 918
[02:42:26] <Bender> Can't find quote 918
[02:43:16] <RandomFactor> Fine, I have pizza calling anyway. Better than continuing to embarass myself.
[02:43:30] <Bytram> enjoy your pizza!
[02:43:56] <Bytram> RandomFactor: Good to see ya, and thanks for all the story submissions!
[02:53:45] <RandomFactor> nom completion

[02:54:27] * exec abrasively offers a fistful of sprinkles to Fnord666

[02:54:36] * exec irrefutably vomits a treasure chest of monkeys on RandomFactor
[03:18:10] <Bytram> ~gnight Fnord666 !!
[03:18:11] * exec unwittingly lobs a triply-linked list of bacteria at Fnord666

[10:21:07] <janrinok> I don't know if you have had a look at dev.soylentnews.org yet, but if you have sometime over the weekend I am happy to start to talk you through it if you wish. You might have already started training with someone else - if so, no problem.
[10:21:50] <janrinok> I'm in France so I think that out timezones are about as close as 2 editors can get outside the USA

[11:09:11] <spiraldancing> Yes, I've poked around a bit on dev.SN, and yes, I should have time this weekend for training. Not right now, though.
