[10:50:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, too much hot out there today
[10:51:05] <Bytram> nod nod
[10:51:24] <Bytram> got any plans for the day?
[10:52:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> may try getting my media server to do subtitles. i took great pains to turn them off when i set it up but forgot entirely about subbed anime.
[10:52:54] <Bytram> got what you asked for but then found out it was not what you wanted, eh?
[10:53:11] <Bytram> has happened to me more times than I'd care to admit.
[10:54:10] <Bytram> my vacation is over and it's back to work today... had 2" of rain over the past two days and now is supposed to be bright & sunny and in the 80's for the next three days... oh well!
[10:55:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> such is your luck
[10:55:34] <Bytram> If it weren't for bad luck...
[10:55:35] <Bytram> ;)
[10:55:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> at least it's helpful in debugging
[10:56:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> back in a few
[10:56:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> smoke break
[10:56:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> nicotine++
[10:56:26] <Bender> karma - nicotine: 451
[10:56:35] <Bytram> well, since I seemed to be gifted, in a Dennis the Menace kind of way, it proved to be a useful asset for software testing
[10:56:36] <Bytram> nod nod
[10:57:50] <Bytram> whelp, looks like it is time for a new poll
[10:59:14] <Bytram> Huh! Just noticed that the Admin toolbar is missing from the Polls page (linked to from "Polls" in the "Navigation" slashbox) ==> https://soylentnews.org
[10:59:15] <upstart> ^ 03SoylentNews Poll
[10:59:49] <Bytram> would be nice to have a button or somesuch there so I could launch a new poll from that page, too.
[11:00:26] <Bytram> THAT would point to: https://soylentnews.org
[11:00:27] <upstart> ^ 03SoylentNews Poll
[11:09:21] <Bytram> THAT'S strange... hit preview on a new poll, and get back just an empty page.
[11:09:47] <Bytram> ok, finally worked... on the 4th try.
[11:10:05] * Bytram crosses fingers and clicks save.
[11:10:25] <Bytram> whew! Success!
[11:10:49] <Bytram> break time
[11:13:38] <Bytram> okaaaay, and now the pollboth *IS* showing the Admin bar. Strange!
[11:14:46] <Bytram> system is acting a bit wonky on me... prolly time for reboot... Uptime: 65d 22h 00m 19s
[11:14:56] <Bytram> and my connection is seesawing, too.
[11:15:03] <Bytram> laters, maybe.

[23:21:35] <pinchy> my mom said she saw a total eclipse. had to look it up on wikipedia. occured in 1970. southeastern us, crossed georgia, florida. said it was like sunset but really weird
[23:21:52] <pinchy> after seeing utube videos of them from recent years i imagine it would freak someone out
[23:26:26] <pinchy> it looks like early morning cept the sun is trying to rise all around the horizon
[23:57:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> i figure since totality's like an hour's drive away, might as well go see it and maybe get a picture or two for the site.
[23:58:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> takyon, you on the queue?
