lobbes: happy bday jfw [00:54]
jfw: ty lobbes! [00:55]
BingoBoingo: Congrats [00:59]
diana_coman: happy birthday, jfw ! [03:37]
diana_coman: http://ossasepia.com/2020/04/20/ossasepia-logs-for-17-Nov-2019#1010573 - well, they are all ~same but anyway, had a laugh indeed: "If you’re still hesitant to put in your laborious-earned currency, sign up [04:05]
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-17 18:46:27 whaack: diana_coman: there's some mildly interesting spam in the younghands comment queue. the spammers website links to 'blogs' that appear to have 'ai' generated text. not sure if this is the same as the spammers/scammers i remember you mentioning before [04:05]
diana_coman: for a demo account and then be a greater decide for yourself." [04:05]
diana_coman: next time someone pesters me to make an account on their website must-have, I'll tell them in all seriousness about being a greater decide for oneself. [04:06]
lobbes: long before I came to tmsr, I once made this 'auto-generated / shannonized web comics' thing for kicks. It consisted of a set of 'stock images' I took from the internet, and a set of lines of text that I harvested from whatever I found amusing. When the page was loaded, it would randomly pair one image with a caption. Once in a while the pairings would work out to tickle a funny bone or two [11:35]
lobbes: I imagine "be a greater decide for yourself" would have fit in perfectly with that thing [11:35]
dorion: happy birthday jfw [12:26]
BingoBoingo: lobbes: Somewhere down the line a revival of that thing better inputs may be an interesting to have around. [12:28]
whaack: feliz cumpleaños jfw! [12:35]
diana_coman: whaack: when did you have that review ready/done ? [13:10]
diana_coman: I mean this review [13:10]
whaack: diana_coman: I wrote it while the electricity was down before speaking with you [13:11]
diana_coman: ah, ok; just meant to say that you can always publish it earlier if you prefer/planned it/have it done. [13:12]
whaack: diana_coman: Ah yes I know. Also to be clear it was not revised until after our conversation, otherwise I would have published it before. [13:13]
diana_coman: whaack: argggh, learn to use numberings properly already, will you? [13:28]
diana_coman: how the fuck am I supposed to refer to "monday 1 and tuesday 2" in your plan? [13:29]
diana_coman: I'll use 1.1 and so on; you'll figure it out + update afterwards. [13:30]
whaack: diana_coman: I thought that my numbering system was okay because it allows an unambiguous way to reference the points, just as you say "Monday 1 and Tuesday 2" [13:31]
whaack: diana_coman: but I see it reads weird when you type it out. [13:31]
diana_coman: I do NOT want to write Monday 1 and Wednesday 14th and the year of the rabbit after Mohammed, no. [13:35]
diana_coman: whaack: and in general: do NOT mix different things, it's quite unsanitary; if you use numbered lists, you should be able to reference any point by numbers-only (sure, have the headings too but not as replacement for numbers). [13:37]
whaack: diana_coman: Alright noted, I will fix the numbering and address your comments by EOD. [13:47]
jfw: thanks all. [14:23]
dorion: looking forward to delivering the 30 punches and a pinch to grow an inch. [14:26]
jfw: diana_coman: I'm overtime on the morning's writing; I reviewed my wallet code and produced an outline of what all it presently implements and an initial list of what remains to be done. Wanted to make sure I at least got the status right, didn't have one of those handy "where I'm leaving off" documents as discussed with whaack [14:27]
jfw: Need to move on right now but I could publish the outline as-is later tonight [14:28]
jfw: dorion's lines never cease to surprise me, lol. [14:29]
diana_coman: jfw: on the wallet thing and *only* if you have time otherwise ie without snoballing anything, you can take more time and add to it; the writing IS part of the work on the wallet and you need to do as much of that as you can as soon as possible really since you don't have all that much time left anyway. [14:35]
jfw: alright [14:37]
diana_coman: dorion: ahahah; and I still noticed you noticed & changed the category in the end, lolz. [14:38]
dorion: heh, that Derp easter egg gets me. [14:41]
whaack: midday report: I woke up late (and hungover) having went to bed late from the fiesta last night. I've spent today coordinating with three different people trying to sell a car, and I am taking surf-pal's pathfinder to a mechanic in about 20 minutes. So I will do only 4 hours of my original 8 hours of saltmines for today when I get back. [15:51]
diana_coman: whaack: mkay. [15:52]
diana_coman: whaack: do you even get 4 hours of those original 8 hours of saltmines work today? [21:18]
diana_coman: or did you end up wasting the whole day running around with this/cars ? [21:18]
whaack: diana_coman: I am planning on working into the night [21:18]
diana_coman: and why was cars-running/looking not even in the plan at all [21:18]
diana_coman: whaack: well, that will mean tomorrow waking late/tired though, won't it? [21:19]
whaack: diana_coman: the latter, which is quite frustrating seeing as everything could have been decided before going to the mechanic [21:19]
diana_coman: myeah; you know,stick to your plan, it's there to *take care* of you really. [21:20]
diana_coman: after all, if you were working somewhere, you wouldn't just nip out because they want you to go to the mechanic, would you? [21:20]
diana_coman: do respect your own time and plan more and simply schedule people for later when they just come like that to make a mess. [21:21]
diana_coman: anyways, I'll be back tomorrow. [21:23]
whaack: diana_coman: No if I had a normal 9-5 job I wouldn't just step out for this. The surf pal was leaving to Nicaragua today so I thought I should handle taking the car to the mechanic. [21:23]
whaack: diana_coman: I will still be able to get a healthy amount of sleep and be up by 8am, but yes that is still pushing back my schedule [21:24]
