[09:50:31] * NCommander just shat out an N-novel and stuck it in the queue
[10:22:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> coffee++
[10:22:07] <Bender> karma - coffee: 2783
[10:29:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> NCommander, that was barely a novella. You need to go back in and add some character development to be up to your usual standards.
[10:30:00] <NCommander> TheMightyBuzzard, I could write it in UTF-8
[10:30:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> Well, that'd be more bytes but not necessarily any longer.
[10:39:45] * TheMightyBuzzard smakes himself in the forehead
[10:40:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> totally missed the "character" pun there. moar coffee necessary.
[10:40:25] <cmn32480> ~gday TheMightyBuzzard
[10:40:27] * exec suspiciously farts a massive fart The Cloud of pre-snorted fridge mold at TheMightyBuzzard

[10:40:48] <cmn32480> tie?
[10:41:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> trying to figure out which i'd rather eat. tie for now.
[10:42:03] * cmn32480 adjusts story timing
[10:42:30] * TheMightyBuzzard sets about doing a packages update on his desktop box
[10:43:40] * NCommander feels bleh
[10:45:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> ditto but coffee cures all
[10:45:45] * cmn32480 still can't tell time in UTC
[10:45:58] <cmn32480> ok
[10:46:02] <cmn32480> story pile is all straight
[10:46:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> cmn32480, i cheat. i put a UTC clock in my conkyrc
[10:47:09] <cmn32480> yeah I have one... it dones't help
[10:47:20] <cmn32480> NCommander... gonna fix some inor formatting etc. stuff

[10:47:29] <sedctl> <cmn32480> NCommander... gonna fix some minor formatting etc. stuff
[10:47:32] <NCommander> cmn32480, thanks
[10:47:35] <NCommander> It already went live?
[10:47:52] <cmn32480> nah
[10:48:13] <cmn32480> I goofed the times... then figured it out and fixed real quick
[10:50:52] <cmn32480> it goes live at 8am

[10:51:24] * cmn32480 goes back to the task he came to the office early to finish
[10:53:08] <xhedit> coffee++
[10:53:08] <Bender> karma - coffee: 2784
[10:54:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> /agree xhedit
[10:54:13] <xhedit> ~gday #soylent
[10:54:15] * exec historically tosses a socket of windows 2000 to #soylent
[10:54:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> ~gday xhedit
[10:54:33] * exec emphatically runs the Installshield Wizard to set up a freedom sandwich of source code for xhedit
[10:54:57] <xhedit> i have mixed feelings about that
[10:55:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, installshield wizard and source code are slightly mismatched
[10:56:14] <xhedit> like using windows features to install bash? :P
[10:56:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> i did that back in the win95 days with the cygwin installer
[10:57:11] <xhedit> i have many working cygwin installs
[10:57:19] <xhedit> i have even used KDE as a windows desktop shell
[10:57:34] * TheMightyBuzzard scratches his head
[10:57:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> well i'll grant you it's more functional but it's not any lighter
[10:58:17] <xhedit> KDE uses a couple hundred megs of ram, windows uses a whole gigabyte
[10:59:02] <xhedit> I don't like the mess that plasma desktop has become but I loved KDE 3
[10:59:27] <xhedit> i have trinity on a few pcs.. vaguely buggy though
[10:59:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> ima gtk2 guy myself
[11:00:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> it was more or less perfected so they had to utterly fuck it up in the new version.
[11:00:13] <xhedit> gnome2 was usable.. even that was a little too much in the 'hold your hand' style of computing
[11:00:26] <xhedit> now everything but xfce sucks balls
[11:00:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, lxde is pretty tight
[11:01:02] <xhedit> yeah, but they killed it in favor of still not there lxqt
[11:01:18] <xhedit> I like LXDE as well
[11:01:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, parallel development paths
[11:01:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> i thought that too for a while but dev keeps on kicking
[11:01:49] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Only U.S. Underground Nuclear Waste Dump-Site Needs More Down Time - http://sylnt.us - so-where-does-the-waste-goin-in-the-mean-time?
[11:02:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> i've nothing against QT programs functionality-wise, only purely aesthetically.
[11:04:00] <xhedit> i don't see a problem with either aesthetically.. i think qt is dev friendlier though
[11:07:22] <NCommander> I dislike C++ as a language overall
[11:08:05] <xhedit> I think it could use a richer feature library rather than argument over exactly how every iota of the stl should work
[11:08:39] <xhedit> like how c# has the whole framework which makes developing programs a breeze
[11:09:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> #submit https://www.helpnetsecurity.com
[11:09:30] <MrPlow> Submitting. There is a mandatory delay, please be patient.
[11:09:46] <xhedit> i was debating submitting that
[11:09:55] <MrPlow> Submission successful. https://soylentnews.org
[11:10:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> go for it if you want to do a proper writeup
[11:10:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> MrPlow leaves a lot of work for the eds
[11:13:15] <xhedit> i'll try to find something else interesting from defcon
[11:15:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh good, my phone's vulnerable. i can finally root the fucker.
[11:16:09] <xhedit> android is locked down pretty hard now, it's sad as fuck
[11:16:18] <cmn32480> but not quite as much work as an NC novel
[11:19:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> honestly i really don't care if i can root it or not. i'd never use it for anything interesting anyway. me and touchscreen keyboards have a barely functional relationship.
[11:20:05] <xhedit> I don't like using a computer I don't own.
[11:20:29] <cmn32480> holy fuckballs'
[11:20:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> i don't mind that. i just won't pay for one i don't own.
[11:20:39] <cmn32480> my wife jsut dumped 35 appts into my calendar
[11:20:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> haha, sucker
[11:21:02] <cmn32480> looks like all the cub scouts and school off days for the year
[11:21:06] <xhedit> i do have a couple root apps i would not want to go without
[11:21:21] <cmn32480> and I have to accept each one individually
[11:21:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh?
[11:22:36] <cmn32480> and she snuck one in there for the day we met... recurring annually!
[11:23:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> i really don't have anything on my phone except google maps that i use beyond dumb-phone capabilities.
[11:24:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> smoke break
[11:24:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> nicotine++
[11:24:38] <Bender> karma - nicotine: 109
[11:24:53] <cmn32480> and angry birds...
[11:25:00] <xhedit> I use audio boosting apps that require root since I am cyborg-deaf
[11:25:17] <cmn32480> coffee++
[11:25:17] <Bender> karma - coffee: 2785
[11:26:09] <xhedit> aside from that, there's stickmount, titanium backup and xposed
[11:26:58] <xhedit> and i use moonlight to turn my phone into a moculus with cardboard
[12:07:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> okay, think ima bail and get some vidya in before it becomes grocery shopping and kitchen cleaning time
[12:08:03] <boru> What are you playing these days?
[12:08:41] * cmn32480 hands TheMightyBuzzard a fire hose and rubber gloves for the kitchen
[12:08:42] <xhedit> that reminds me, i should play dishonored with cardboard

[23:14:38] <Deucalion> NCommander, we all hate life at times. It's either seemingly going fine or it's a monumental clusterfuck of many shits to deal with all at the same time. Never anything in between.
[23:22:26] <Bytram> Deucalion++ much truth, though I have found there ARE times when life is neither the depths of an abyss nor the peaks of ecstasy, but rather a gentle trodding of well-known paths with kindly friends and acquaintances, too.
[23:22:26] <Bender> karma - deucalion: 14
[23:23:46] <Bytram> when I dwell on the negatives, that's all I see. When I am able to step back and look at a larger picture, and how I've been able to help others, and what I have received from others -- even something as mundance as not having to grow my own food or construct my own shelter, things seem to take on a more pleasant hue.
[23:26:09] <Deucalion> Wise words. It is indeed all too easy to get sucked into very negative myopic view of life when things start going a little pear shaped. Maybe because the only things needing attention are the negative things, so they can become an obsession.

[23:53:42] <Bytram> thank you.
[23:55:23] <Bytram> btw, I worked both days this weekend after attending a memorial service on friday... many other of our staff are similarly flat out, and exhausted. remember that when you are heading to bed, there's likely one of us trying to get a few stories out on the site before we can make it to bed.

[23:59:51] <Gravis> SirFinkus: ugh... we already know he's a hack
