[13:43:50] <Bytram> how ya be?
[13:44:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> annoyed. got all booted into linux gonna quit playing vidya and get some work done for a PLC and its programming software is windows only
[13:45:08] <Bytram> wouldn't work in a Windows VM?
[13:45:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> possibly
[13:46:09] <Bytram> then again... dealing with hardware stuff from a vm can be... challenging, frustrating, impossible, etc.
[13:46:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> yup
[13:46:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> gonna drink more coffee before i screw with it.
[13:46:44] <Bytram> sounds like a plan
[13:47:04] * Bytram is starting to feel the effects of his all-time record longest day on black friday
[13:47:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> make lotsa moneys?
[13:48:15] <Bytram> don't know how much, yet. All signs are positive, though.
[13:48:26] <Bytram> time and a half for all time worked
[13:48:52] <Bytram> (approximately) 11PM Thursday thru 8PM Friday with 2 x 1-hour meal breaks
[13:49:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> sounds like everything went according to plan then
[13:49:18] * Bytram also gets a small commission on some items
[13:49:51] <Bytram> am astonished I lasted that long as I have been battling congestion and phlegm for over a month
[13:50:34] <Bytram> well, I think I should be able to at least find out how many hours I worked that week by now.
[13:50:50] <Bytram> oh, best of luck on your PLC programming efforts!
[13:55:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> gonna need it. fucking windows.

[19:32:13] <Sulla> what is with this camera angle? what is this 360 youtube shit?
[19:41:16] <cmn32480> sulla... NFI. I am watching it and only looking at the one screen
[19:43:00] <cmn32480> good bunch of actors sitting there pretending like this is all happening]

[19:44:35] <cmn32480> helll no
[19:56:40] <hopdevil> sounds like a win
[19:58:54] <cmn32480> that is usually what all that cheering means
[19:59:21] <boru> No, that's when the budget for the following year has been approved, and they have a job for another 12 months.
[19:59:31] <cmn32480> and they have the first image
[20:05:53] <cmn32480> it'd be far cooler if we didn't all knwo that was a set at some Hollywood movie studio
[20:08:16] <boru> You can just watch ESA web casts for the real thing.
[20:08:35] <boru> They're too busy landing on comets to bother with boring old Mars.
[20:08:57] <boru> JAXA, too.
[20:09:04] <boru> And ISRO, in fact.
[20:10:28] <boru> On that note, I'll be interesting to see if Russia blow money on verifying the Apollo landings.
[20:10:34] <boru> It'll be, even.
[20:13:04] <Sulla> Well if you can't do it yourself you have to claim your rival wasn't able to either
