[14:24:43] <janrinok> Bytram, most of it was what you can see. We had a bit of private chat but he is fine.

[13:24:23] <Bytram> Drat! I mislaid my cell phone for a bit over a day and end up missing mrpg?! You have been a chatty bunch over that time, too! Did I miss much (IOW, should I ask for a summary or was nothing of value lost?)
[09:07:19] <janrinok> mrpg take care - I look forward to next time.
[08:44:57] -!- mrpg has quit [Quit: chao pescao]
[08:44:48] <mrpg> well gotta go, it is late, bye, i ll be back
[08:23:09] <janrinok> yeah, I think we have noticed that
[08:22:30] <Ellenor> a link which leads nowhere
[08:22:24] <mrpg> an innocent looking link
[08:22:09] <mrpg> aja, a link
[08:22:05] <janrinok> ah, are you a furry too?
[08:21:00] <systemd> ^ 03Umbrellix &raquo; Page not found
[08:20:59] <Ellenor> (that's to say: I will post it to a file under https://umbrellix.net for the purpose of sharing with friends to help get a second opinion.)
[08:20:58] <janrinok> to whom? I suggest admin@soylentnews..... then I can read what I wrote again
[08:20:00] <Ellenor> This conversation will be reported.
[08:17:17] <mrpg> :-)
[08:14:29] <janrinok> .... well, that is the current hope
[08:14:15] <Ellenor> lel.
[08:14:06] <janrinok> get some sleep then, we will still be here in the future
[08:13:00] <Ellenor> and, huh, TIL I sound like a bot when I'm sleep deprived and glutened up.
[08:12:48] <Ellenor> it's not meant to.
[08:10:35] <janrinok> can you explain that please? I might just be being a bit dumb but it conjures up nothing specific.
[08:08:41] <Ellenor> the most fun I have with computers is if they have touchscreens.
[08:08:22] <Ellenor> no, I don't.
[08:02:21] <mrpg> Ellenor do you have a favorite computer?
[08:01:39] <janrinok> Ellenor, not bad
[08:01:12] <janrinok> that is not uncommon. But the most famous impenetrable dialect is Geordie - originating from Newcastle in the NE of England
[08:00:29] <Ellenor> being a hampshire lass originally but being entirely steeped in the upper class London dialect, regional englishes warp my noggin
[08:00:19] <mrpg> I saw a video of two guys talking at the parliament maybe, and one doesnt understands the other, irish maybe.
[08:00:12] <janrinok> ee lass, that'd be reet gradely
[07:59:38] <Ellenor> neither would I
[07:59:18] <mrpg> I flunked left and right in school but not in English, thanks dad
[07:58:14] <janrinok> lol - if I spoke English in the local dialect that I was raised with in Manchester you wouldn't understand it. Most other Brits don't understand it either
[07:57:50] <mrpg> that little joke always cracks me up
[07:57:27] <mrpg> Me failed English? thats unpossible.
[07:57:06] <mrpg> well-formed
[07:56:58] <mrpg> So well formed sentence, kudos.
[07:56:41] <janrinok> yeah, that is a problem with bots
[07:56:37] <Ellenor> oh wow, pronouns in quotes now eh?
[07:56:24] <Ellenor> janrinok: English is the only language I speak with any measure of fluency
[07:56:07] <janrinok> And that explains why Ellenor needs 400 tabs for 'her' IRC app
[07:55:42] <mrpg> I heard it circa 2007
[07:54:41] <janrinok> I was there but my memory isn't that good with exact years for music
[07:54:19] <janrinok> wasn't sure of the year
[07:54:10] <mrpg> yes
[07:54:06] <janrinok> Beatles - 1960s?
[07:53:38] <mrpg> eleonor rigby
[07:53:19] <janrinok> oui, je pense un bot
[07:52:19] <janrinok> Ellenor, why didn't you recognise that initial mathematical question as a decimal. You do know that various languages use different forms for writing numbers, don't you
[07:49:42] <janrinok> mrpg, oui, ca va bien.
[07:48:32] <Ellenor> > The etymology of the name woodchuck is unrelated to wood or chucking. It stems from an Algonquian (possibly Narragansett) name for the animal, wuchak.[27]
[07:48:09] <mrpg> right
[07:47:57] <Ellenor> wikipedia redirects woodchuck to groundhog
[07:47:54] <mrpg> janrinok: Français avec Pierre ca va?
[07:47:52] <Ellenor> huh
[07:45:29] <mrpg> of course i never stopped to think, what the frag is a woodchuck?
[07:45:03] <Ellenor> bard is a lying liar from liarton
[07:44:51] <mrpg> talking to bard i found out that a woodkchuck is a groundhog and that they dont eat or work with wood in any way.
[07:44:26] <Ellenor> I have over 400 windows open in my IRC client
[07:43:50] <janrinok> I don't care. It wasn't the most intelligent question that you posed regarding computers and languages, and then you didn't respond until challenged.
[07:43:37] <mrpg> too smart, she is a bot allright
[07:42:48] <Ellenor> if so, your answer is 4 and 4/10
[07:42:32] <mrpg> yes
[07:42:28] <Ellenor> Is that supposed to be a decimal marker, mrpg ?
[07:42:08] <mrpg> whats 2 plus 2,4
[07:42:00] <Ellenor> Am I?
[07:41:48] * janrinok wonders if Ellenor is a bot....
[07:40:37] <mrpg> In my case I only change it to use the accent marks and thats not often.
[07:39:33] <janrinok> different computers is unnecessary, but being able to access all the characters that each language requires is better with different keyboards IMO
[07:38:50] <mrpg> in the same computer I had Spanish and English for example. Then you press a combination of keys and it changes.
[07:38:29] <janrinok> the problem is muscle memory. The keyboard layout is quite different between the two languages. And one (En) I have been using since the 1970s.
[07:37:30] <mrpg> You can install different kweyboard layouts
[07:37:05] <Ellenor> Should someone have different computers for different languages
[07:36:33] <Ellenor> e
[07:35:15] <janrinok> Yes. I did a French course in a language school for A1 and A2 as part of my retirement package - all paid for by the government. I am currently at B1 (top end) but I have elected to stay where I am because I feel that I haven't achieved the fluency that I should have done to progress. I will give it a few more months.
[07:33:14] <mrpg> Have you taken any of those tests?
[07:32:44] <mrpg> I did A1 and A2 in the alliance francaise, those took maybe 2 hours each.
[07:32:00] <mrpg> I did English C1 in busuu. But it is a 15 minutes test, while in real life it must be 3 hours.
[07:31:41] <janrinok> yeah, when I am tired I feel the cold more too. It is usually a hint that I shouldn't still be doing whatever it is I am doing....
[07:30:00] -!- audioguy [audioguy!~audioguy@Soylent/Staff/Developer/audioguy] has joined #editorial
[07:28:08] <mrpg> Ill brush my teeth and go to sleep, Ill stay a few minutes. it is cold here, 13C not that cold but it is beginning to get me
[07:27:42] <janrinok> lol - there might be money to be made there
[07:27:23] <chromas> Adapting Shakespeare for Modern Audiences™
[07:26:51] <janrinok> If you want to go and have your sleep I will not be offended. But I am pleased to have touched base with you. Otherwise, we can carry on intermittently while I do a bit of site work at the same time.
[07:26:23] <mrpg> and that as she was young she was easily manipulated by him. and that The Bard had no kids, then said he had 3, then that he died in 1602, then in 1616, poor bard was all over the place.
[07:24:52] <janrinok> I don't suppose Shakespeare minds too much, but people tend to believe what AI tells them. Critical thinking is dying
[07:24:17] <mrpg> it told me romeo and juliet got married because it was an arranged marriage by their parents.
[07:23:55] <janrinok> the bots might not be working - there is quite a bit of collateral damage caused by the main story that you were just mentioning.
[07:23:29] <mrpg> I was tslking to bard, googles AI, and it made mistakes about shakespeare. what a shame.
[07:23:00] <janrinok> No, I have a Fr keyboard as well but as I use this computer mainly for Eng and programming I prefer what I am used to
[07:22:54] <mrpg> =weather
[07:22:47] <mrpg> #weather
[07:22:40] <mrpg> it is 3 21 am here i should be sleeping.
[07:22:14] <janrinok> I am just doing my morning ritual of checking the emails, overnight posts and comments, and moderations
[07:22:02] <mrpg> I havent installed other languages in my keyboard layout yet
[07:21:24] <janrinok> that got my brain ticking a little
[07:21:03] <janrinok> voila, ca va
[07:20:41] <mrpg> Ca va
[07:20:31] <janrinok> j'ai compris, les typos sont pas un problem
[07:20:10] <mrpg> c est trois
[07:20:02] <mrpg> Et je suis un podcast, cest trosi filles parisiennes
[07:19:36] <janrinok> lol - c'est the meme situation pour tous
[07:19:28] <mrpg> Les infos un peu plus.
[07:19:07] <mrpg> Mais si je regarde un film je comprend presque rien. Dommage.
[07:18:54] <janrinok> felicitations!
[07:18:42] <janrinok> tres bien
[07:18:35] <mrpg> J-ai deja reussi le b2
[07:18:18] <mrpg> Je pratique francais sur bussuu.com j-aime bien
[07:18:18] <janrinok> merci - bloody fingers not working yet
[07:18:06] <janrinok> merciu
[07:17:56] <mrpg> hehe parfait
[07:17:34] <janrinok> I don't mind calling you nora but I must politely decline your other offer
[07:17:14] <janrinok> Oh, yes, things are a bit hectic here as you can probably imagine
[07:17:09] <mrpg> So when I read it I said to myself well well well spank my butt and call me nora.
[07:16:17] <mrpg> thanks, I often check the site to see what you are up to, and I just read it yesterday.
[07:15:17] <janrinok> Always good to see your name pop up - even if I miss you online I still see that you are alive and kicking by back reading on here
[07:15:15] <mrpg> hehe its 3 am here
[07:14:39] <janrinok> lol - that was a bit deep for fairly early in my morning!
[07:14:24] <mrpg> No, I dont think we have talked in a long time.
[07:14:04] <mrpg> hmmm, like a see-saw, fortunately i live in an eternal present so the past doesnt torture me. Only the future has that pleasure.
[07:13:05] <janrinok> I missed you a few weeks back but I think Marty managed to say hello to you.
[07:12:38] <janrinok> mrpg, Hi, how are things going with you?
