[00:00:35] <SpallsHurgenson> you're asking the wrong guy for that sort of information. I'm not even sure what DAY it is
[00:01:33] <SpallsHurgenson> (although I'm pretty sure it's the one with all those letters in it)

[00:09:50] <SpallsHurgenson> <Sigh> okay, who's the idiot who had the wrong layer selected before he started editing?
[00:14:04] <juggs> Hey - what's wrong with putting the text in background layer?
[00:15:13] <SpallsHurgenson> I must be getting tired; this week seems longer than most
[00:16:11] <juggs> Sleep then... perfect remedy to tiredness.
[00:16:38] <SpallsHurgenson> no, that's just what THEY me to do!
[00:16:50] <juggs> I think you a word
[00:18:35] <SpallsHurgenson> argh! THEY stole it!
[00:20:25] <juggs> must call for more foil or something... oh, oh, I know... encrypted foil! That's the ticket
[00:22:02] <SpallsHurgenson> moving on to a completely different topic...
[00:22:23] <SpallsHurgenson> ... this has been a disappointing summer. I was hoping to get to the beach before the start of July
[00:22:51] <juggs> been nice and toasty here this week
[00:23:18] <SpallsHurgenson> its not the weather (well, its a little bit the weather); it's life that's getting in the way
[00:24:01] <SpallsHurgenson> if I were elected president, I would declare a mandatory 2 weeks beach vacation for every citizen
[00:24:28] <SpallsHurgenson> (the fact that my election was paid for by the suntan lotion industry would be completely incidental)
[00:24:37] <juggs> Get a grip man, run your life, do not let life run you.
[00:26:14] <SpallsHurgenson> taking responsibility for my own actions? that's unAmerican!
[00:27:23] <juggs> I'm lost. I thought USA was all about self determinism and individual responsibility. Did shit go off the rails?
[00:28:08] <SpallsHurgenson> that sort of things leads to the wrong people making money and gaining power :)
[00:28:57] <SpallsHurgenson> they've been subtly discouraging it since... well, 1777 :)
[00:29:02] <juggs> Strikes me every alternative has that result too.
[00:30:48] <SpallsHurgenson> that's because there are just too many wrong people :)
[00:32:13] <juggs> That's right... everyone else is doing it wrong, it's just you that has it right. Either genius or nutter.... the line between is slim.
[00:32:54] <SpallsHurgenson> of course, thats pretty much my entire presidential platform: "For 200 years, THEY have been trying to keep those they consider 'the wrong people' from power... that's why you should vote for me. I'm the wrongest person for president you ever met!" :)
[00:34:52] <juggs> Who the hell is "THEY"? (If you mention illuminati or reptiles in the answer the kickage comes out!).
[00:35:27] <SpallsHurgenson> The Pantsinati!
[00:36:29] <juggs> oh my, I should have known, the anti-Pants Rebel strikes again. gg sir
[00:39:39] * juggs issues executive order 101/C-EMERG/2378-E - detain and render Spalls to Pantsanimo Bay for re-education and lots of wearing pants.
[00:39:59] <SpallsHurgenson> You'll never pants me alive, copper!
[00:49:42] <juggs> Cease and desist citizen, this is for your own good. Stand down your arms while we pants your head and extract you, You will be unhurt if you comply. (Can't vouch for your mental state... just doing my job as a policy officer).
[00:56:04] <SpallsHurgenson> don't trouser me, bro!
[01:03:35] * juggs implodes in a flurry of sparks.... programmers of my logic were not bilingual, putting trousers into the pants array caused a segfault, shutting down as obliged by health and safety Reg 1265/E-ROBO-Z/17973 directive Rev MMICV published 90th Of Quern in the year 3.

[01:07:54] <SpallsHurgenson2> I definitely need a "transfer all this shit I did on the wrong layer to a new layer" button...
[01:10:33] <juggs> Are you working in photoshop or the GIMP or wut?
[01:10:48] <SpallsHurgenson2> might need to set the "on wrong layer" bit on all the affected pixels first though...
[01:11:46] <SpallsHurgenson2> microsoft paint.exe; I use seperate executions of the program for each layer :)
[01:14:32] <juggs> I think your plan to manually set the layer bit on each pixel is the best way to go. See you again in what... 2300? 2400? Depends how fast you can work I guess.
[01:15:16] <SpallsHurgenson2> nah, I'll just make sure to set the wrong-layer bit whenever I'm using the wrong layer. It'll save time that way :)

[01:18:41] <juggs> Yeah! Genius. Pre-sight is far better than hindsight, why isn't everyone using it already! Pre-emptively do things 10 different ways whilst pausing time, wait to see which works out then discard the 9 fails and progress to the success. Anyone have a spare time control device they can lend me?

[01:33:58] <cmn32480> unless I am the one getting laid
[01:34:39] <SpallsHurgenson> says someone who has never been sat on by a goose
[01:35:19] <cmn32480> you are correct... I have never been incubated by a goose
[01:36:00] <SpallsHurgenson> I could tell, you have that look about you
[01:36:29] <cmn32480> but there was that one time, in college, with that rather large woman
[01:37:01] <cmn32480> but in my defense, she was easy.

[01:41:13] <cmn32480> either way

[04:59:41] <NCommander> My last full time job left me so badly broken, I don't think I'll ever work in IT again aside from SN, and maybe a few non-corporate OSS projects
[05:00:45] <NCommander> hey _NSAKEY
[05:03:33] <_NSAKEY> Hey.
[05:03:44] <NCommander> _NSAKEY, how goes your night?

[05:03:45] -!- mode/#Soylent [-o NCommander] by Imogen
[05:03:59] <_NSAKEY> Pretty quiet so far.
[05:04:22] <_NSAKEY> Still amazed that 1. gewg_ still exists in his original form, and 2. He never bothered to register an account.
[05:04:37] <NCommander> _NSAKEY, original form?
[05:04:54] * NCommander strongly debated on posting in the burnout thread, but can't keep silent
[05:04:57] <_NSAKEY> Not impersonated by almost everyone as an in-joke and rite of passage.
[05:05:13] <NCommander> _NSAKEY, I've seriously debated adding 4chan like authetication
[05:05:37] <_NSAKEY> I don't do chans, so you're going to have to explain that one.
[05:06:26] <NCommander> _NSAKEY, when you post on 4chan, you have to enter a key like !!abcdef
[05:06:47] <NCommander> And that gets hashed and encrypted and attached to the message. Only someone with the same key can put the same hash on multiple messages
[05:07:35] <_NSAKEY> Oh wow.
[05:07:42] <_NSAKEY> This sounds like an extreme example of what happened to a friend.
[05:07:52] <_NSAKEY> (Just read the reddit post in the burnout submission)
[05:08:08] <_NSAKEY> He was working in the sec department at a company, and all the other guys quit or got fired, then his boss quit.
[05:08:17] <NCommander> _NSAKEY, I didn't post it on SN, but most coding causes me to have anxiety attacks.
[05:08:24] <_NSAKEY> He reported to a VP for almost a year.
[05:08:46] <NCommander> The APache2 port of rehash is what broke that for me for coding on SN, I said "this will get done, or I will resign on dev" to myself
[05:08:48] <NCommander> And I did it
[05:09:19] <_NSAKEY> They kept playing mindgames with him to keep him from quitting and to keep the same salary amount.
[05:09:50] <_NSAKEY> I kept telling him for months to not let them treat him like a cheap whore, and that as soon as he quit they would just replace him with like 4 H1Bs.
[05:10:01] * NCommander notes he had a very public blowout with the president of engineering on a public mailing list
[05:10:12] <NCommander> He wanted to fuck over the Ubuntu community, I called bullshit and won't stand down.
[05:10:16] <_NSAKEY> He got another job lined up and left that place behind.
[05:10:26] <_NSAKEY> Oh?
[05:10:48] <_NSAKEY> Is it as bad as the politics-based fucking every debian-derived distro took over the systemd debacle?

[05:11:55] <exec> └─ 13Releasing Alphas and Betas without "freezing"
[05:12:23] <NCommander> _NSAKEY, I refused to back down, to the point my manager at the time thought I was insane, and asked me if I knew what I was doing.
[05:13:10] <_NSAKEY> What idiot thinks nuking freezes is a good idea?
[05:13:13] <_NSAKEY> Aside from this one?
[05:13:16] <_NSAKEY> That's just beyond stupidity.
[05:13:20] <NCommander> _NSAKEY, most of Canonical management
[05:13:36] <_NSAKEY> Well, there's a reason I quit using ubuntu back in 2010.
[05:13:56] <_NSAKEY> I saw that Canonical was going to start shoe-horning its own stuff in, and I didn't feel like being the guinea pig.
[05:13:59] <_NSAKEY> So I went to Debian.
[05:14:05] <NCommander> After that happened, the release manager, and my manager were made redundant. I think I barely dodged the chopping block because most of the ARM team had already left or moved to Linaro.
[05:14:27] <_NSAKEY> Now I'm looking at going somewhere else, because Debian's QA has gone to hell.
[05:14:42] <_NSAKEY> The new release has two bugs that I consider show stoppers.
[05:14:53] <NCommander> _NSAKEY, I'm honestly considering jumping ship to Slackware
[05:14:57] <_NSAKEY> 1. No GUI media player works. Had to use mplayer or do without.
[05:15:08] <_NSAKEY> 2. knotify kept crashing.
[05:15:26] <NCommander> When Scott Kiterrman "quit", its clear that the community was dead
[05:15:30] <_NSAKEY> If my shell bell went off for any reason, it was like rolling dice on whether I'd get a crash pop-up.
[05:15:38] <NCommander> Actually, in hindsight, it reminded me a lot of Slashdot and DICE
[05:16:01] <_NSAKEY> At this point I'm mostly using FreeBSD for servers.
[05:16:04] <_NSAKEY> I don't completely hate it.
[05:16:24] <_NSAKEY> Upgrading is slightly inferior, but I've figured that out.
[05:16:25] <NCommander> Right now, we're staying on Ubuntu 14.04 which pre-systemd for the time being.
[05:16:45] <_NSAKEY> I've got a spare box and a laptop that are running ubuntu 14.04.
[05:16:50] <NCommander> The jury is right now waiting for a Linux distro that stops sucking, *or* we're going to SmartOS (OpenSOlaris spinoff) -or- FreeBSD
[05:17:00] <_NSAKEY> The only reason for the spare box is because it's hooked up to a TV, and I sometimes use it for playstation emulation.
[05:17:14] <NCommander> I did a lot of work to make powerpc+ps3 be usable
[05:17:20] <NCommander> I was pissed as fuck when Sony killed otheros
[05:17:27] <_NSAKEY> The version of PCSXR in Kubuntu 14.04 is better than the one in Debian Wheezy, so I'm using Kubuntu.
[05:17:41] <_NSAKEY> As for the laptop, I only use it for presentations and the like, which I've been doing more of lately.
[05:17:57] <_NSAKEY> I got lucky and Debian worked at one place, but it didn't work at another where the stakes were much lower.
[05:18:18] <NCommander> Greed killed linux
[05:18:19] <_NSAKEY> OtherOS is the only reason I would have bought a game console these days.
[05:18:37] <_NSAKEY> Would have probably bought a few of them once they got discontinued, just to have something to play with.
[05:18:48] <NCommander> None of the distros except Slackware and the rolling releases have a true dev community as best I can tell. Debian is loosing DDs left and right
[05:18:48] <_NSAKEY> But Sony killed that option.
[05:19:19] <NCommander> Slackware uses a citidal model of development which makes me wary because I have no idea what's coming
[05:21:00] <NCommander> Honestly, I should formally resign as a DD and as an Ubuntu Core Developer
[05:21:39] <NCommander> I just can't stand it anymore ...
[05:21:42] <_NSAKEY> You should declare that you're going to become a FreeBSD developer to help fix their illegal fork of apt-get.

[11:43:55] <AndyTheAbsurd> hi guys
[11:44:18] <AndyTheAbsurd> what the hell happened on reddit? I was actually *working* yesterday so whatever was going on, I missed.
[11:46:14] <JamesNZ> Someone got fired and now everyone's losing their minds :D
[11:46:30] <Popeidol> is it civil war if one side has all the power and the other merely gets to speak their mind?
[11:48:02] <AndyTheAbsurd> wow people are stupid.
[11:48:39] <JamesNZ> Popeidol: Reddit is community-driven, so it's not quite so one sided.
[11:49:09] <AndyTheAbsurd> maybe they had a good reason to fire her, maybe they didn't; but I don't exactly see how bitching on reddit itself is going to help.
[11:51:18] <Popeidol> it's a great piece of internet drama at a very large scale
[11:51:24] <Popeidol> just enjoy the ride
[11:53:09] <Leebert> Wow. Kneejerk much, Reddit?
[11:56:19] <Leebert> It's amazing how nearly universal the whole lifecycle of an Internet community seems to be.
[11:56:56] <Leebert> I guess if that weren't the case, we'd all still be only using slashdot.
[11:58:48] <Leebert> NCommander: I think your career plans are awesome.
[11:59:12] <Leebert> Been wondering how much longer I have until I burn out and just go open an ice cream stand.
[12:20:34] <Popeidol> I'm always interested in the career progression of those who get burned out on computers
[12:21:09] <Popeidol> probably because I'll be one of them one day
[12:21:33] <AndyTheAbsurd> the joke around my area is "okay, I'm done with computers. Anybody know of an alpaca farm for sale?"
[12:22:40] <Popeidol> upside: nice jackets, downside: alpacas can be dicks
[12:23:12] <AndyTheAbsurd> yeah, they LOOK cute and cuddly but they really HATE being hugged.
[12:23:28] <Popeidol> management is the standard path for progression, but a lot of IT people go into hands-on jobs elsewhere
[12:24:14] <Popeidol> I'm not sure if it's because they tend to be practical people or they want the opposite of what they burned out on
[12:25:56] <AndyTheAbsurd> I suspect it's because "being good at the technical side of something" and "being good at managing people doing the technical side of something" don't really have much overlap, and a lot of people have trouble making the transition.
[12:26:56] <Popeidol> pretty much. if you enjoy working with code, it's a pretty big transition to just managing other coders.
[13:03:31] <Leebert> Alpacas got nothing on astronauts turned DC bureaucrats. Just sayin'. :)
[13:16:58] <crutchy_> code is a good hobby
[13:17:20] <crutchy_> i hope it never need be more than that

[14:40:39] <AndyTheAbsurd> I was in the shower
[14:41:15] <AndyTheAbsurd> probably lots of USAians not around much as anybody that doesn't work weekends is probably getting today off (tomorrow is our Independence Day holiday)
[14:41:33] <janrinok> yes, I thought people might be getting ready to party!
[14:45:04] <janrinok> you got any plans for the w/e?
[14:56:04] <AndyTheAbsurd> just gonna chill
[14:56:16] <AndyTheAbsurd> not going anywhere near the fireworks tomorrow
[14:59:26] <janrinok> The big celebration here is on the 16th - Bastille Day. Similar sort of thing. I'll probably avoid it too!
[15:07:12] <janrinok> er, that should be 14th - I'd be 2 days late !

[18:39:44] <janrinok> hi Vvuarcquez
[18:40:28] <Vvuarcquez> I've even cried a few times at the sight of an IDE
[18:40:36] <cmn32480> are they chips ahoy?
[18:40:46] <cmn32480> I'll share my milk if they are
[18:40:47] <Vvuarcquez> vegetable chips
[18:40:54] <cmn32480> rats....
[18:40:57] <Vvuarcquez> no, "ahoy" is slavic for "yo"
[18:41:06] * cmn32480 kicks a stone in disappointment
[18:41:11] <Vvuarcquez> is vim an IDE ?
[18:42:14] <janrinok> not really, but some say it is.
[18:42:15] <Vvuarcquez> and hit :!make a lot
[18:42:19] <Vvuarcquez> I tend to think that vim becomes an IDE when you have more than about 5 lines in ~/.vimrc
[18:42:24] <Vvuarcquez> or shift K
