SNiP: Hehehehhehe Royster: I can't imagine going to GK for sex advise. That's like going to Martha Stewart for computer advise. Nitrozac: oooh, I'll have to check Mr Garrison chromatic: Or for sex advice. tmr: http://phc.mpr.org/cast/garrison_keillor.shtml teleny: He did however, hang a whole PHC monologue on an inopportune erection. Nitrozac: Martha Stewart is a computer genius teleny: Todd Rundgren wrote an operating system, anything's possible. chromatic: She singlehandedly invented the CD-ROM caddy doily...

SNiP has quit IRC (Connection reset by peer) td0: hehe teleny: Yeah, and reindeer and weird berries with lots of seeds. * chromatic thought the tourists WERE the naives. danchez has quit IRC (damn PHBs, have a meeting. later.) td0: except that my grandfather, great-grandfather, great-grandmother, and uncle all eat lutefisk chromatic: So, hemos, how about a game of Quake? I'm really bad, the lag probably won't hurt you much, heh heh. teleny: Though I wouldn't turn down a "wolf paw" now and then. hemos: Heh -I'd be slaughtered like the pig I am. teleny: Oink. Double for me. Fragged in a second. * chromatic makes a mental note -- don't piss off people who might recommend you. chromatic: Hmm, look at all of those O'Reilly books... * n|trox is roaming around the expo floor, hunting the TTB's .. again ... td0: lunch time td0: I don't think I'll be eating anything swedish though..:) chromatic: I had a salad.

Nitrozac: chromatic from who? chromatic: One of my users. sprocket: Greetings... chromatic: Her computer absolutely died a couple of weeks ago, and I got her a replacement. Sorta. BeDope: he was the replacement ;) Nitrozac: I think she likes you * n|trox had two pork chops with chips chromatic: Then I went up on the roof and drop-kicked her old computer all the way to the concrete factory across the street and down the hill. hemos has quit IRC (lag killing...me) Royster: So, I really want to know why everyone isn't at work right now. chromatic: hemos barely dodges chromatic's rocket CowboyNeal: I am at work right now. =) chromatic: Hi, sprocket!

Do you work cheap? :) chromatic: Nope. My Sitting Around fee is pretty high. * Royster is flipping through Excel <gag> <spit> sheets with his left hand while typing on his Linux laptop with cell modem on the fight. sprocket: Hehe. sprocket: Oh well... no gov't contracts for you. Royster: So, if I accidentally type in a number in the millions here, you'll know why. n|trox: chromatic: i am currently doing something like that here .. but i do more things for a lower salary n|trox: and in other job i do bussiness software n|trox: and in the 3rd i do web design and programming n|trox: :) n|trox: choose one chromatic: I'm supposed to do more things, but I fixed them all in a strange fit of efficiency a couple of weeks ago. chromatic: I end up reloading Slashdot all day on my Linux box. That's why I thought about trading with CowboyNeal. sprocket: Hmmm. I'm having a strange fit of "I need a vacation" - thus... having lunch at home. :P tmr has changed the topic to "Hemos lag killed him! ALS pictures http://linuxtoday.com/special/als/1/" tmr has set the channel mode to "limit 78" n|trox: i know .. sometimes it happens to me here too .. i must tame 3 Win 3.11 computers, two Win 95 (one with Win 3.11 too) and two Win 98 (one with Win NT 4.0 too) and also a Sun SparcStation CowboyNeal: chromatic: heh.

It is necessary for me to stay awake! sprocket: CowboyNeal: Yea, yea... sounds tough... :P CowboyNeal: well, I actually code on the site, I don CowboyNeal: don't just read it. =) * chromatic is almost not worthy. Presence: I did my job for the day: I wrote a 10-liner perl giz that parses incoming text into a csv. Weee! I'm ready to go home now. chromatic: 10 lines? Bloatware! Presence: I used comments. :^/ PING request from tmr: chromatic: Did you use strict? Presence: uhm.. no.. It always gives me messages when I do that. :) chromatic: Bloatware! sprocket: Now, now... he's just doing his part to increase "US Code Production".... chromatic: We're on the verge of a punctuation shortage. Every line of Perl we can reduce will help. Presence: hrm.. I'm looking at what I wrote.. I could shave off 3 lines if I tried. sprocket: I blame it all on AOL. They're the ones hogging all the extra !'s and ?'s, etc, etc... n|trox: i have coded a script in PHP3 recently .. it's on the web but its for spanish speaking ppl (a good level of spanish is required) chromatic: That is why Nitrozac can't use euphemisms, you see? Not enough punctuation. It hit Canada hard earlier this year. sprocket: Hmmm. Does bablefish count? n|trox: it shows a dynamic questionnaire and uses cookies to keep track of how far are you unto it ... it does also a database update ... Nitrozac: brb BeDope: that's why i type all in lowercase - to counteract the capital letter shortage caused by aol sprocket: Yea... but AOL tends to only use up R, U, M, and F.... chromatic: Don't forget a/s/l? sprocket: (damn... babelfish doesn't translate AOL...) Nitrozac: just getting a broom to clean up this booth a bit sprocket: Save the pizza crumbs. chromatic: Ahh, now we are sure that tmr is just paranoid! heh heh Presence: man, I could really go for a pizza right now. n|trox: btw, ppl ... what are you gonna dress next Halloween?

Presence: just going in my ren-faire garb sprocket: Displaying this year's RenFair garb. teleny has left the channel sprocket: Does an amazing job of keeping older kids from the little one's stash. chromatic: Well, back to the office. Think of me, all of you who are allowed to sleep at work... *sigh* Maybe I'll do some Perl. n|trox: bye chromatic! have a nice working day! sprocket: Enjoy, chromatic... chromatic: Bye! chromatic has left the channel sprocket: Hmm. I can see my office from my back window - should be there now. sprocket: Maybe if I SSH in to my workstation, I'll feel better. :) whadafuk (y@FX3-1-088.mgfairfax.rr.com) has joined the channel sprocket: It's kinda like being there - but I'm just not physically available to discuss why Word just crashed... ;) Nitrozac: Am I lagging? PING request from sprocket: PING request from n|trox: sprocket: (shrug) n|trox: [Nitrozac PING reply]: 16 seconds n|trox: just a bit away from here Nitrozac: that's lagged sprocket: PING reply from Nitrozac: 1.168 seconds PING request from trick: sprocket: (...arrrgh... the guilt.. can't... hold... on... must go back...)
