@kalina Geez, you're so cranky today.

> During a lady's medical examination, at her G P surgery the British doctor says,
"Your heart, lungs, pulse and blood pressure are all fine. Now let me see the part that gets you ladies into all kinds of trouble."
The lady quickly starts taking off her undies, but is interrupted by the doctor.
"No! No! No! Leave your underwear on..... Just stick out your tongue!"

Oooh, looks like Trello is branching off from Fogcreek. Interesting.

3:56 PM

@LucasKauffman Do you think there is any chance EY will hire a fresh grad without any working experience for a couple of months?

I'm bored just staying at home and coding and thought maybe I should find a job. :P

Rory Alsop

@TerryChia do you mean as a summer intern? or permanently

Terry Chia

@RoryAlsop Internship/short term work. I can't get a permanent job since I'll be enlisting in a couple of months. :(

Rory Alsop

@TerryChia hmmm - probably a bit late in the cycle for internships. They'll usually have been agreed weeks ago

M'vy

hiya

Terry Chia

@RoryAlsop This is in SG though, so may be different?

Dunno, not that big a deal. Just thought it might be fun to work for a couple of months.

@M'vy Hey there. :)

Seeing your name pop up more frequently these days. A little less busy?

M'vy

4:15 PM

Yeah.

Well I changed job in april, had a period with no internet and lot of things to do after this

then I forgot to log the chat on my comp

now I fixed it

David Freitag

4:33 PM

Maaan it's dead in here.

Terry Chia

@DavidFreitag I blame @kalina.

She is 70% of the content in this room and it's dead when she isn't talking.

David Freitag

Rоry McCune

@TerryChia not true all the time I'd say..

David Freitag

@TerryChia We should make a @kalina bot that sparks random arguments when the real one goes quiet.

Terry Chia

@RоryMcCune Well yeah. But OS X vs Linux vs Windows is like a weekly thing. We can't talk about that everyday...

Rоry McCune

4:37 PM

@TerryChia heh we could talk about how Microsoft shipped more phones in the last quarter than Apple :)

Terry Chia

@RоryMcCune Really? Any links? That's very interesting indeed.

Although this is Apple's slowest quarter traditionally.

David Freitag

Or about how when I go into the Apple store to tease the salespeople, none of them know the difference between ram and a hard drive

Rоry McCune

@TerryChia will see if I can find it, but basically it's a fiddle, it includes Nokia Feature Phones :)

makes a good tech headline tho'

Terry Chia

@RоryMcCune Heh. I forgot the Nokia featurephone division is now under MS.

Rоry McCune

or we could talk about UK'ians laughable definition of the weather being too hot (it's 20C here and sunny and it's waay too hot for me)

Terry Chia

4:40 PM

@RоryMcCune That statement makes me want to poke you with a knife.

David Freitag

@RоryMcCune It's 32° here at 94% humidity

People are literally melting outside

Rоry McCune

Srsly I'm going to be so glad when it goes back down to 16C and rainy next week

remember we have no Air Con in the UK

apart from in cars

David Freitag

You need air con at 20°? That's what we set ours to

Rоry McCune

@DavidFreitag well air temp is 20 but gets warmer in buildings over the day if there's no wind...

also I have 4 servers and a laptop in here with me :)

David Freitag

@RоryMcCune That would do it.

Rоry McCune

4:47 PM

if you want an amusing pastime, try going through the list of Indiegogo technology projects and predict how many will be massively late/fail completely indiegogo.com/explore?filter_category=Technology

My prediction, in 1-2 years there'll be legislation to protect people from their own stupidity, but only after $10-20 mill has been lost

Terry Chia

@RоryMcCune Good riddance I say.

David Freitag

@RоryMcCune Heheheheh. "Let's build a planetary energy transmitter"

Also, that's why I stick to KS and not indiegogo.

Terry Chia

@DavidFreitag Hmm, do you think we can crowdfund a Death Star?

Rоry McCune

@DavidFreitag well Kickstarter has had it's share of VERY late and non-deliveries, but I will agree the indiegogo stuff seems egregiously bad

David Freitag

@TerryChia There's only one way to find out

@RоryMcCune At least Kickstarter mandates that a KS that promises a physical product actually delivers, or pays everyone back

Rоry McCune

4:55 PM

@DavidFreitag ah yes but doesn't specify when..... kickstarter.com/projects/zioneyez/…

is a good example took $343k back in like 2011 and no delivery

last update on the project in 2012

Thomas Pornin

@DavidFreitag It has already been tried.

Terry Chia

@ThomasPornin I knew someone petitioned the White House. I didn't know there was a crowdfunding campaign.

Thomas Pornin

Apparently it started as a joke, then someone really submitted the project at Kickstarter

David Freitag

@ThomasPornin Where others have failed, we will succeed.

@TerryChia kickstarter.com/projects/461687407/…

Rоry McCune

@LucasKauffman to the point about employing people, you should show this to your management :) mindpatterns.org/post/92736843852/the-business-operating-system

Lucas Kauffman

6:08 PM

@TerryChia I could ask if you want to

is this urgent?

otherwise I'll drop a few emails for inquiries

Lucas Kauffman

6:19 PM

@TerryChia why only for a few months though?

Rоry McCune

@RoryAlsop Internship/short term work. I can't get a permanent job since I'll be enlisting in a couple of months. :(

Lucas Kauffman

Let me ask around

Thomas Pornin

Ooh we have a winner here:

Q: Looking for Network Product Crack

I'm looking for some websites or forum that is all about cracking Network Products and virtual appliances,i would really appreciate if anybody can share a list or some links.

Lucas Kauffman

@TerryChia dropped an email to get me into contact with the security center here, I'll let you know what they say

@TerryChia It's audit and making proposals you want to do yes?

Rоry McCune

6:40 PM

@LucasKauffman yeah I think it was audit, proposals and any HR stuff you could point him at

speaking of which :op

evenin' @RoryAlsop

Lucas Kauffman

hahaha

Rory Alsop

Rhenium

Interesting auto complete

Rоry McCune

@RoryAlsop I was thinking that was a touch obscurantist...

Nick

@ThomasPornin ding ding ding worst question of the month

Adnan

7:29 PM

This is the stuff.. the stuff np.reddit.com/r/talesfromtechsupport/comments/2bb3ki/…

David Freitag

@Adnan Yeah I would totally punch him in the face, then explain to him and my boss why they are both wrong.

Adnan

@DavidFreitag Read the other part

Jack is such a d*ck.

David Freitag

7:44 PM

@Adnan He still deserved to be beaten just a little bit too though

Gilles

8:18 PM

@Nick it can't be that bad, nobody downvoted

Nick

8:46 PM

@Gilles I flagged it :p

Gilles

@Nick that wasn't needed: the question can be gotten rid of with by close votes. But downvotes are also useful to convey that we really don't want questions like this and we wish that the asker would get a clue or go away.

Nick

@Gilles dont have a close button for some reason?

Gilles

@Nick oh, right, sorry. I hadn't paid attention. The close button comes at 3000 rep. You were correct to flag to close.

Nick

alright alarm clock set for 5 in the morgning gonna go now, long day tomorrow :p
