[22:34:12] <Andronas> i gtg for now :) bye
[22:33:25] <Andronas> okie dokie
[22:32:31] <mechanicjay> Best to find an editor.
[22:32:26] <mechanicjay> ..probably?
[22:32:21] <mechanicjay> idk, I have no insight into that part of the site. If it's listed as "accepted" in your little dashboard thingy, it'll show up eventaully
[22:31:41] <Andronas> instead of ~arthur
[22:31:34] <Andronas> should i try submitting it myself or something?
[22:31:27] <Andronas> yeah
[22:30:40] <mechanicjay> So far, I like it!

[22:29:02] <Andronas> it was this: http://chaosinmotion.com
[22:28:59] <Andronas> hrm
[22:28:58] <Andronas> it doesn't show in pending anymore
[22:27:24] <Andronas> the other one hasn't shown up yet
[22:26:38] <Andronas> yea
[22:26:28] <mechanicjay> I assume exasperating for folks on both sides of the issue :) But there seems to be a bunch of good discussion going on.
[22:26:06] <Andronas> which is what we want right
[22:26:02] <Andronas> but at least it draws people to the site and makes them participate
[22:25:54] <Andronas> yeah it is exasperating
[22:25:47] <Andronas> cool
[22:25:35] <Bender> karma - andronas: 2
[22:25:35] <mechanicjay> Andronas++
[22:25:25] <mechanicjay> Oh yeah, that's been a fun, though at time exasperating one to read and comment on.
[22:25:12] <Andronas> i used ~arthur for it, so no karma, but that's ok :>

[17:33:00] <Bytram> okay. break time... laters

[17:32:14] <Bytram> clorox|2: appreciate the idea... wasn't something that I would have thought of, at first.
[17:31:50] <Bytram> paulej72: I'm gonna take a break and leave you to your game... best of luck to them, and you... I'll check back in in about an hour or so.
[17:30:57] <Bytram> ruh roh
[17:30:47] <Bytram> run things pretty vanila most of the time -- besides being an editor, I do the most of the QA stuff so I like to keep most things pretty simple unless I am speifically checking something out
[17:30:11] <paulej72> no the db is funked up
[17:30:04] <Bytram> not me
[17:29:56] <clorox|2> Do you have a score modifier for Overrated comments?
[17:29:47] <Bytram> pls reply to that comment and I'll mod it overrated, too... then we can compare results.
[17:29:10] <Bytram> no, that does not make sense, as I saw it at "1" before I moderated it.
[17:28:40] <Bytram> check the link I posted... only 1 moderation... oh, wait... it's *my* nick -- am I running into one of those inherited bugs about seeing the incorrect score for your own comments?
[17:28:22] <paulej72> it is possible that the db is out of sync on staff
[17:27:41] <paulej72> it should, unless somone funked something up
[17:27:03] <Bytram> I thought overrated was supposed to decrease the comment's score!
[17:26:41] <Bytram> paulej72: i modded a comment overrated... and the comment score went up?!? https://chillax.soylentnews.org

[17:22:49] <Bytram> cleared cache, too.
[17:22:34] <Bytram> just regular question for nick and pwd
[17:22:20] <Bytram> logout, close tab, load page fresh... hey, wait...it didn't ask me to kerberos again?!
[17:20:20] <Bytram> I'm going to try restarting from scratch
[17:19:43] <Bytram> yep, mine is same as yours.

[17:18:59] <Bytram> "chillax" theme
[17:18:42] <Bytram> always used towork, but come to think of it, the first load would have a "swirl" while trying to load the site for the first time (aafter kerberos prompt), I'd have to do a duplicate tab to get it to finish loading.
[17:18:08] <paulej72> <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="//chillax.soylentnews.org/favicon-chillax.png"> is in my header
[17:17:30] <Bytram> hrmm... lemme check (it is the Blue one)
[17:17:14] <paulej72> what theme?
[17:16:55] <Bytram> fwiw, TOS, T:-1, B:-1, oldest first
[17:16:03] <Bytram> just posted a comment, and then moderated it +1 Funny, still have no icon... checked headers and do not see a request for it, either. ??!
[17:14:11] <Bytram> hmmm
[17:13:56] <paulej72> I see it fine
[17:13:32] <Bytram> did that, Ctrl+F5
[17:13:22] <paulej72> sometimes it requires a reload to see
[17:12:50] <Bytram> staff server - not seeing favicon in tab
[17:12:38] <paulej72> that test code was proof of concept, notthing refined
[17:12:26] <Bytram> k
[17:12:15] <paulej72> dev has (or maybe had) the test script for collapsing child comments
[17:11:48] <Bytram> k
[17:11:39] <paulej72> staff has the new svg icons with some changes to the css on how disabled buttons are shown, spacing, wording and some others
[17:11:35] <Bytram> btw, I am no longer seeing a favicon for the staff server
[17:10:44] <Bytram> paulej72: I was out of it yesterday, I apologize. What do you want me to check out on dev or staff servers that you recently fixed?
[17:10:30] <Bytram> oh,wait.
[17:10:01] <Bytram> okay, I need to get up off my duff and get some things done today... my vacation is winding down and I still haven't done anything to speak of.
[17:09:56] <exec> [urbandictionary] 03NWN: Shorthand for the game Neverwinter Nights. A great ORPG or Online Role Playing Game. While made many years ago it is still played by many people around the world.
[17:09:56] <paulej72> ~define NWN
[17:09:27] <paulej72> I have not been keeping up with the Princeton newspaper recently
[17:09:27] <SoyCow7460> Anyone here ever do any NWN scripting? paulej72 why not?
[17:08:54] <paulej72> sure, but I was not following them until I heard they won the Ivy League
[17:08:39] <Bytram> yes, but all teams are not the same.
[17:08:07] <SoyCow7460> paulej72: 19 games seems like if should be pretty impressive.
[17:07:25] <Bytram> The last time Princeton lost this season was Dec. 20, 2016. Since then, the Tigers have taken over the Ivy League, claimed 19 wins in a row, and found their way into the NCAA Tournament.
[17:07:03] <Bytram> quick search reveals that princeton is on a 19-game winning streak
[17:06:52] <paulej72> Princeton has not gotten in since 2011
[17:06:19] <Bytram> looks like I guessed right!
[17:05:58] <SoyCow7460> paulej72: ah thanks
[17:05:29] <paulej72> Princeton vs Notre Dame NCAA basketball round 1
[17:04:52] * Bytram is not certain, but given the time of year, I would suspect it is NCAA basketball
[17:02:02] <SoyCow7460> paulej72: ha! suscess! sorry for my ignorance but what game is being played?
[17:00:06] <paulej72> P30 ND 36 at the half
[16:59:21] <SoyCow7460> I will never get sports, but to be fair most people don't get PnP RPG's either so..
[16:57:49] <Bytram> paulej72: Keeping it close, eh/? Good luck!
[16:56:45] <paulej72> P28 ND 33 with 1:33 let in 1st
[16:56:42] <SoyCow7460> you should love your robot overloards, love the computer the computer is your friend
[16:55:59] <Bytram> is one of the reasons that Ilike hexchat =)
[16:55:47] <Bytram> we've got two bots here that both want to help out with sed/regexp corrections =)
[16:55:26] <SoyCow7460> humm that doesn't happen with the web client
[16:55:12] <exec> <Bytram> <SoyCow7460> well I could ask why all my post are not automaticly posted at 5 which given my great brilliance the should be, but they might not be receptive :)
[16:55:11] <sedctl> <Bytram> <SoyCow7460> well I could ask why all my post are not automaticly posted at 5 which given my great brilliance the should be, but they might not be receptive :)
[16:55:11] <Bytram> SoyCow7460: s/wht/why/
[16:54:51] <Bytram> so I gotta keep typing until I get something unique
[16:54:42] <Bytram> atm there are currently SIX nicks offered when I type: "soy<tab>"
[16:54:11] <SoyCow7460> well I could ask wht all my post are not automaticly posted at 5 which given my great brilliance the should be, but they might not be receptive :)
[16:53:56] <Bytram> type "b", "y", "<tab>" and then your message
[16:53:40] <Bytram> try it:
[16:53:37] <Bytram> well, on IRC there is "tab completion"... type the first few chars of someone's nick, press tab, and it would autocomplete for ya.
[16:52:56] <Bytram> similarly, if you have an issue with the site and want to get someone's attention, the #dev channel is a good place
[16:52:45] <SoyCow7460> meh I don't have a SN account and only post AC so..
[16:52:29] <Bytram> as for other channels... #editorial is where you can generally reach the editorial staff, though it's very quiet atm.
[16:51:56] <Bytram> SoyCow7460: If you want, you can change your nick to something more "personal": /nick nackpaddywack
[16:51:56] <SoyCow7460> Success!
[16:50:51] <Bytram> looks like it worked... I like it when THAT happens!
[16:49:34] <Bytram> normally I'd agree, but there's been some issues with openssl, so an upgrade was in order
[16:47:25] <SoyCow7460> Good luck, I'm an if it ain't broke don't fix it man myself
[16:46:40] * Bytram is gonna try and upgrade his hexchat proggy... will be back soon if all goes well.
[16:46:04] <Bytram> yeah, but what inning is it? =)
[16:45:34] <paulej72> Pinceton 23 Notre Dame 25
[16:44:38] <Bytram> we have a bot that sits around and monitors various rss feeds, when something new comes in, it gets posted out to that channel... makes it easy to keep up with the news
[16:43:58] <Bytram> issue this command: /join #rss-bot
[16:43:49] <Bytram> are you familiar with using IRC?
[16:43:30] <Bytram> #rss-bot
[16:43:20] <Bytram> I just started here on #Soylent and before too long, was informed of other channels here... checked 'em out, and some became regulars for me
[16:43:18] <SoyCow7460> any recomendations?
[16:42:48] <Bytram> nod nod
[16:42:17] <SoyCow7460> Oh I don't debate it's usefullness as a tool just that joining random channels that look like they might be interesting has not worked out for me
[16:41:11] <Bytram> then as I volunteered and got active, more and more I discovered how useful it is
[16:40:49] <Bytram> never used IRC until I got to SN
[16:40:42] <Bytram> yeah, it grew on me
[16:40:24] <SoyCow7460> ? oddy I've never spent much time on irc and never had much luck with finding places of interest so I mostly haven't bothered

[16:37:01] <Bytram> ahhh

[16:36:54] <Bytram> lucky you!
[16:36:46] <SoyCow7460> here in TO we got a dusting but was barely noticable
[16:36:27] <Bytram> what are you using to access IRC?
[16:36:02] <Bytram> yep, they got hit pretty good, too
[16:35:49] * Bytram really needs to clean out all the cruimbs from his kbd!
[16:35:47] <SoyCow7460> reminds me I should check on my freind in NS
[16:35:31] <Bytram> one of the editors is on a business trip so is harder for him to pop n an chat duing the day like he often does.
[16:35:01] <Bytram> true that
[16:34:53] <SoyCow7460> I rather like the +/- it's a good compromise
[16:34:47] <Bytram> and the Northeast USA just had a major snowstorm which prolly taxed people out quite a bit and...
[16:34:21] <Bytram> I think the devs are a bit fried from dealing with the upgrade and the issues that were raised...
[16:33:51] <Bytram> nope...
[16:33:43] <SoyCow7460> kinda slow, is it always like this?
[16:33:42] * Bytram is running on Win 7 -- X64 Pro, SP1
[16:33:00] <SoyCow7460> for some reason this layout makes me want to sing the red dwarf theme song :), > <Bytram> my sad win7 starter netbook doesn't have an IRC client installed so I still think it's neat
[16:30:18] <Bytram> I ran with the web implementation for a short while until I was encouraged to get a *real* "reader" -- got hexChat and haven't looked back.

[13:13:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> prolly the latter. i'd assume that anyway.
[13:13:18] <takyon> or because it is assumed that he who merged it should run it. beats me
[13:13:05] <takyon> I have merged stories before and just left them and they seem to linger because of not being quickly identifiable (due to the nondescriptive title)
[13:12:28] * TheMightyBuzzard wanders off to shoot stuffs on account of not feeling like chasing header creation through 50 different places and abstractions
[13:11:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh, well lazy is to be admired and supported wherever necessary.
[13:06:01] <takyon> at the end of the day it is a way for me to be lazy by merging a story but not running it
[13:02:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> also there'll have to be length checks on account of you can only put so much into a note for varchar reasons
[13:02:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> it prolly is but i just polluted my brain with javascript

[09:29:42] <charon> beer academy. sounds verrrry interesting
[09:28:26] <FatPhil> But Wrasslers XXXX was my favourite from the 3 regulars.
[09:27:54] <FatPhil> The bottled Celebration stout was really special
[09:25:35] <boru> I'm a whiskey man, but I'll drink their stout all night when I'm there.
[09:24:55] <boru> I like their Plain, Wrasslers, and Red.
[09:24:34] <boru> Dead on.
[09:24:27] <FatPhil> But yes, porterhouse shits on those 3 from a great height.
[09:24:07] <FatPhil> There was a tiny pub in Galway, I think, which had all 3 of the big brands. We made sure we tried them all. All on top form, and funnily we came to different conclusions about which was the best. Every beer was prefered by someone.
[09:22:57] <boru> Just off Dame street, for the one in Temple Bar, but the other one on Nassau street isn't too far.
[09:22:45] <charon> i've always wanted to take another visit. it's been about 15 years
[09:22:32] <boru> And the Porterhouse isn't too far a walk from there for a decent pint of stout.
[09:22:13] <boru> The old Jameson distillery is over the road, though. That's worth a visit.
[09:21:49] <boru> Watling street is a shadow of its former self.
[09:21:35] <boru> The coopers is gone, the Dublin skin and hide company is gone etc.
[09:21:21] <boru> Still though, Guinness isn't the same since Diageo took over.
[09:21:04] <boru> Aye, they are.
[09:20:44] <charon> i thought they brewery was fairly fanatical about sending poeople to check that every pub was doing it right?
[09:20:13] <boru> Aye, they still have your man going around cleaning the pipes, at least.
[09:19:52] <boru> The best Guinness is found wherever you see everyone else drinking it, since it's not sitting in the tap.
[09:19:47] <FatPhil> The worst guinness I've ever had was at the end of the brewery tour. They didn't clean their pipes properly, and it was basically off.
[09:19:12] <FatPhil> Back on beer, which is now actually part of my job, I know the "Guinness is better in Ireland" *should* be bullshit, as it's a hermetically sealed container that doesn't know where it is, but actually, the best guinness is found in Ireland.
