1:00 PM
@kalina I have no idea where you're going with that one.
So on that note, I guess I'll go back to work.
 
I'm bored, you're boring
stop boring me
 
raz
You think everything is boring. Not my fault.
 
@kalina I summon @Lighty and @Simon.
 
raz
Go be purple somewhere
 
I think boring things are boring
@raz I am purple everywhere, all of the time
I am actually not wearing any purple at the moment
such misrepresentation
very wow
I guess I'll just ruin my life and start playing Warcraft again
the walls of this room will be purple once it's done
it will be so awesome
I can't wait
well actually, I can wait, but I don't really want to wait
I am going to call this track "Procrastinate"
actually... pr0cra5t!n8
 
1:18 PM
@AviD that scene was higly traumatizing to 10 year old me
 
was it the tassles?
 
i don't remember the tassles
 
all strippers wear tassles
 
@AviD you need to get out more
 
@JourneymanGeek can an OC degrade over time?
it looks like I am having mild instability, but I didnt before.
 
1:22 PM
@RоryMcCune SOMETHING INAPPROPRIATE
 
oh damn. an unclean power line could probably cause that, and we were having some issues with that before.
 
@TerryChia AW YEAH BOI
I was like "Oh wow, look at @kalina being positive and saying the room needs more love". Then, I scrolled up and saw her usual negativity.
 
there was no negativity
link one instance of me being negative
see, it took you more than 10 seconds
 
37 mins ago, by kalina
even though you're just trying to be funny
 
that's not negative
 
1:32 PM
And I hate donuts.
Does anyone else want to join this pretending game?
 
you hate donuts?
why are you doing this, that is genuinely not a negative comment
 
Why did I laugh at "why are you doing this"?
 
it is the latter half of a sentence with me saying that @AviD was being OTT cynical in an attempt to get a smile out of me
that's a positive thing
I wish I was misunderstood less
 
it's the way of the internets
if a thing can be misunderstood, it will - no verbal/visual cues
 
I know, it drives me crazy
 
1:35 PM
but the alternative would be worse - imagine this chat as a video hangout.....
 
@RoryAlsop /quit "See ya bitches"
 
imagine this as a group meetup somewhere
 
Actually - @AviD - did you ever join the mod video hangout things Aarthi occasionally ran?
@Ohnana lol
 
@AviD: overclock?
I have no idea. I don't ever overclock
 
Overclocking is for poor people.
 
1:43 PM
@Simon: yes and no
I tend to want to make my hardware last
 
@JourneymanGeek Exactly. If I need more speed, I'll buy a better processor.
 
@Simon: isn't always true for me ;p
I tended to buy midrange gear
really poor geeks run dumpster dive computers ;p
anyway
@AviD: There's multiple possible reasons for instability
power, cooling...
 
16 mins ago, by kalina
there was no negativity
16 mins ago, by kalina
that's not negative
@RoryAlsop no I never knew about them till now!
 
14 mins ago, by kalina
I wish I was misunderstood less
 
@Simon thats not the way it works
 
1:49 PM
@JourneymanGeek And they have a funny dog.
@AviD You're not the way it works.
 
@JourneymanGeek I usually give away my old PCs to poor geeks
 
@JourneymanGeek yeah, the CPU instability is supposedly solved by a little extra vcore bump. so I did that.
so far so good.
 
@kalina: I'm thankfully in a state where when my work gives away their old workstations, I can't be arsed with anything too old for DDR3
 
fair enough
 
@JourneymanGeek glorious
 
1:51 PM
@JourneymanGeek something occurred to me though - if I carefully tune and test the OC, and then swap out the power supply - does that invalidate the voltage tunings, possibly affecting the stability?
 
Tho, if we're getting rid of precision 7500s I'm interested.
 
I gave away 3 Nintendo Wiis, a AMD Phenom X4 based PC and an Intel Core 2 based PC during the holidays
 
@AviD: In theory no
 
whew
 
In practice, maybe
 
1:51 PM
by this holiday I will have 3 sandybridge based i7s to give away
 
I enjoyed the OC experience, I did NOT enjoy the stability testing.
 
although that depends on when the k series skylakes are released
 
@kalina I'll send you my address.
 
I'm pondering getting a better GPU as a precursor to a monitor upgrade
I'll likely torture it with furmark
 
1:52 PM
@Simon lol you can pay for postage
:P
 
(after the SSD upgrade I want to do)
 
SSDs are the best
well, they're not, but they're still awesome
 
@kalina QQ that's gonna cost MILLIONS.
If not BILLIONS.
TRILLIONS?!?
 
I have a 840. I want to get a 850 pro, and move the 840 down to my laptop. Then swap that hard drive for my dad's laptop.
 
of yen
 
1:53 PM
aw yeah
or dongs
 
too iterative.
not worth upgrading if its not a big jump.
 
@AviD: Its a big jump for my laptop ;p
 
ahh well
 
My system's probably good at its core for an iteration or two.
 
big jump in multiple ways for a laptop
battery life improves a bit
 
1:55 PM
I haven't really started budgeting for all that yet ;p
 
for all what?
 
various computer upgrades?
 
various computer upgrades?
 
various computer upgrades?
right, that's what we were just talking about
 
various computer upgrades?
 
1:56 PM
nevermind
 
(then again, I'm spending less than 100 dollars a month with transport so...)
 
@JourneymanGeek Sigh.
 
and transport is most of that
 
just impulse buy everything
 
You carless people are rich.
 
1:57 PM
you kidless people are rich.
 
That's true.
 
I WANT AN SSD
buys an SSD
 
you're a true.
 
I WANT ANOTHER SSD
 
I BOUGHT ONE ON CHRISTMAS FOR MY MACBOOK PRO
 
1:58 PM
Those carless, kidless people...Sooo rich!
 
buys a second SSD before the first one arrives, even though one order would have been better
 
I HAVEN'T NOTICED THE DIFFERENCE EXCEPT WHEN I REBOOT ONCE A MONTH.
SSD is useless for dev, most of the time at least.
 
@Simon all of your applications open instantly, no?
 
@Simon YOU ARE BEING RIDICULOUS
 
I like clicking on Cubase and it just being there, ready to go
 
1:58 PM
MACBOOK PROS ALREADY HAVE SSD
 
@kalina Yes but I never close them.
 
@kalina I have a couple in one of my empegs - haven't really worked out how to use them to their best, so I'm just treating them like ordinary disks. The aggressive spindown routine is a bit pointless now though
 
@kalina like a guy
 
@AviD I HAVE THE OLDER GENERATION YOU DONUTELY DONUT.
 
yes but ASIO locks your sound card
I have to close it or I can't play games
 
1:59 PM
@Simon this is true, except the exact opposite.
 
or watch youtube
 
@AviD wat
 
@Simon I AM THE OLDER GENERATION
 
dayum
 
today we learned that @Simon's DAW outputs using the primary WDM sound driver
 
2:00 PM
@Simon SSD makes a larger than average impact for devs.
 
@AviD My lines of code aren't typed in faster in Sublime Text 2 because of my SSD.
 
SSD makes large impact for all the things
 
@kalina WDM wat
I'm just saying that so far, in a month, I haven't seen much of a difference.
 
windows... driver... model...
 
@kalina On my recording/gaming machine, I only have an SSD for the OS. Everything else is across a few big disks (not sure how many at the moment - couple of terabytes, anyway)
 
2:01 PM
Obviously, when loading video games or w/e it's fast as knobs.
 
my next PC is going to be SSD only
SSDs for all of the things
 
@Simon oh no, I meant actual developers. You know, those that build big systems, NOT using sublime.
 
and large, slow spinning fans
 
@AviD Oh. Well, duh.
In this instance, I was talking about me, not the rest of the wonderful, wonderful world you attractive older gentleman.
 
@Simon yknow, compiling, searching, opening files, intelletips, etc
 
2:02 PM
Damn, that was harsh.
 
just so you know, I did nearly flag that, not because I was offended but because I know how quickly everybody else will approve it
 
pls
 
but I didn't, because I wouldn't want you flagging me.
 
@Simon yeah, but it was offset by you calling me an Egyptian. Thats just funny.
 
I've never ever flagged anyone and it's not gonna happen today.
@AviD Yeah, that would have been weird if it did offend you.
 
2:03 PM
@Simon never ever have you ever flagged anyone?
 
@Simon oh you poor boy. Want me to have a talk with your girlfriend?
 
@kalina Nope.
@AviD Leave my donut alone you donut.
 
@Simon </allSaints>
 
FTFY @Simon
 
@RoryAlsop Haha, cheers.
 
2:05 PM
I'm making the DMZ more fluffy and purple
<hat tip to @kalina>
 
Can I be the one who takes it in the banana?
 
@RoryAlsop just called @AviD an attractive older gentleman
 
@kalina I'll add in whatever words I think sound funny/fluffy/not flaggable :-)
 
even the Karkrashian family are more attractive than @AviD
 
@RoryAlsop hahaha
 
2:06 PM
@kalina And anyway - I have met him. Have you?
 
@AviD Yeah. Real developers use vim.
 
^lul
 
@RoryAlsop I had the misfortune of google images this one time while googling for him
 
@kalina ha, youre picking on the "attractive" and not the "older"??
@RoryAlsop what exactly are you saying??
 
@AviD yes, you're old
 
2:07 PM
@kalina not older than @RoryAlsop!
 
once you get past 30, age stops being relevant
 
@AviD no-one is
@kalina are you facing the end calmly, then?
 
@kalina ???
 
it's coming, you know
 
She stood before me, gyrating as she stripped off one layer after another. After just thirty minutes she was down to her last cardigan.
Goddammit I love this Twitter account.
 
2:07 PM
@AviD your picture turns up if you google for you
one of your social networking privacy violations
 
@kalina how weird.
 
@RoryAlsop I have ages yet to go
 
@kalina its called "marketing".
 
@RoryAlsop Can you tell my donut friend that AWD is not useless?
 
what misfortune?
 
2:08 PM
@kalina time speeds up
 
I'm damn shekshy.
 
He keeps arguing that RWD is fine in the snow.
And that I'm barely ever using my AWD.
 
@AviD Oh, so you are one of those consultants...
 
He's an e46 M3 prick.
 
@Simon RWD is awesome in the snow
 
2:08 PM
@Simon it is more difficult to donut with 4 wheel drive than with rear wheel drive
 
@TerryChia well, yeah, thats how my clients find me.
 
@RoryAlsop lulz
 
so I dont have to do any real marketing.
 
@kalina Awesome != effective
 
@AviD Do you do SEO as well?
 
2:09 PM
@TerryChia i can't hear the phrase "50 shades" without involuntarily frowning now
 
@TerryChia pls
 
@AviD avoid that shit
 
and - no
 
but BMWs, Mercs etc are the ones that you see off the side of the road, stuck, while Subarus are up the top of mountains :-)
 
@RoryAlsop good, maybe I will get less bored as I get older
 
2:09 PM
right, I gots to go
later bros
 
@RoryAlsop Cheers.
 
Jesus Christ! I came here at the wrong time.
 
@Simon oh right, effective... ok
 
I'm out
 
@AviD Perhaps some social media optimizations? :)
 
2:09 PM
(yes @kalina I can include you in that)
 
whatever
 
@Adnan-Adi huh? DMZ's been boring and cleaner than ever now. What are you complaining about?
 
@Adnan-Adi ...?
I still don't understand why you have such an allergic reaction to me
 
lol he actually left
 
2:11 PM
@kalina I dunno - you still need to fill the time
 
@Ohnana yeah basically he hates me, and doesn't hang around when I'm in here
 
@TerryChia you can't tick the boxes
 
@Ohnana Because you are not a maintainer on the project or the guy who opened the issue.
 
@kalina I wasn't sure if it was because @Simon and I were talking about cars...
 
@RoryAlsop That would have been an extreme reaction to cars.
 
2:13 PM
@TerryChia i know. i just went "MUST CLICK CHECKBOXES HURR" and was disappointed by github's common-sense UI
 
@RoryAlsop yeah but with age you get really good in that... so much so you have others filling your time for you ;)
 
@RoryAlsop I have to agree with @Simon, it's highly unlikely
 
@kalina yeah...I know
Cars are great :-)
 
oh, you were just trying to deflect my train of thought so I didn't dwell on some internet person disliking me
that's so kind of you, if ultimately futile
 
@kalina ok
 
2:15 PM
@kalina You're a train.
 
I LIKE TRAINS
 
3
I don't have ASDF in my bookmarks, honest
 
@Simon what does this even mean?
 
@kalina Figuring out what I mean is a lifetime activity.
 
I already have a lifetime activity, I don't need or want another
 
2:23 PM
@RoryAlsop yeah but I bet you intentionally use a keyboard layout that makes it easy to type
 
azerty
 
... for those lonely moments when you just need a rainbow
 
but I thought I was the rainbow of the DMZ
 
@kalina No, you more closely resemble a fire breathing dragon.
 
now my outlook on everything is completely ruined
 
2:25 PM
@kalina there's a leprechaun at the end of you?
 
@TildalWave is this a euphemism
 
hehe
 
since it would be my tail that is rainbow colored, I suspect that there is a pot of gold near the end of it, depending on how badly we want to completely warp this image forever
 
@kalina ewww
Afternoon Great Bear
 
2:27 PM
the line, it's so far away
one does not simply friendship is magic their way into the DMZ
 
@kalina wat
I challenge @RoryAlsop, @AviD and @LucasKauffman: febfast.org.au/alcohol ;)
 
raz
@RоryMcCune That seems GIF seems familiar... what does it remind you of?
 
@raz castle
 
@TerryChia two things - that site is blocked by default by my noscript blocker (which is funny), and also didn't I tell you how vehemently opposed to not drinking alcohol I am?
I once did a dry January - and ended up with permanent spinal damage as a direct result. Never again!
 
@RoryAlsop you're opposed to not drinking alcohol?
 
2:32 PM
@RoryAlsop Heh. I would be interesting in hearing that story.
 
@kalina yup
 
I'm opposed to not smoking weed
 
I'm opposed to people opposing things
 
I'm opposed to people
 
@TerryChia to shorten the very long bit (which was all about how I courted my good lady) - I should have been drinking but was taking a dry January...which meant I had the car (back in the days when the company car was basically a slow bus) and a drunk driver crashed into me
Wouldn't have happened if I'd been drinking, as I'd have still been in the club
:-)
 
2:34 PM
@RoryAlsop Ouch. Talk about irony.
 
@RoryAlsop Owch :-/
 
@TerryChia yup - the only redeeming fact was that I didn't have to have a rant at the driver in the other car. She, and her 3 friends had also all forgotten to wear seat belts, so had punished themselves very successfully in the collision
 
@RoryAlsop oh shit
 
And as their very small car managed to fire my Rover 800 about 50 yards sideways, with a wheel embedded where my seat used to be, we did get off lighter than them
 
every car accident I've ever been in has been a boy/manchild showing off
 
2:35 PM
 
@kalina I've been quite lucky so far
 
@kalina I'd have to agree. About 90-odd% of the ones I have seen have been caused by males between 14 and 25-ish
So my kids have been getting both track training and road training since they turned 11
 
@TerryChia iinteresting, though shame it doesn't seem to have had much traction
@raz :op
 
@RоryMcCune You are a Ruby developer aren't you. ;)
 
@TerryChia nah I'm a hack who can make his scripts usually run
 
2:39 PM
55 secs ago, by Terry Chia
@RоryMcCune You are a Ruby developer aren't you. ;)
 
@kalina Queue the typical recording about men being assholes, please.
That should have been cue, but whatevs.
 
@Simon Freudian slip?
cue "you're a [inb4]"
 
@TildalWave ^_^
 
2:56 PM
@Simon I'm not man hating
I'm merely stating my experience
 
@kalina Yeah, you'd never do that, silly me.
 
@Simon every time you complain about women, are you woman hating?
 
@kalina if you claim every single woman is like that, yeah. not saying that's what you're doing, I'm just answering your question
