12:33 AM
They make whisky using rainwater?
Always thought they'd do fancypants things like using water from a nearby spring or shit.
 
 
6 hours later…
6:32 AM
@DavidFreitag Lmaoooooooo
I'll give that a try, but knowing my luck, I'll find the one guy willing to oblige
 
7:22 AM
hi guys
 
7:35 AM
@MarkHulkalo If that's the case then you get a plane ride and a happy ending.
 
8:17 AM
Mornin' All
I see we have a combination of eastern-livin' people and insomniacs in this morning :)
aaand we've finally reached the stage of computers being given away with magazines... raspberrypi.org/blog/raspberry-pi-zero
$5 Raspberry Pi, pretty cool
 
@TerryChia no, but I figured it out eventually.
it was weird to me, basically declaring the class method as a global function... and there are several different forms of import.
still, I'm not clear on how this is actually represented in the parse tree, especially when you throw in aliases.
 
@AviD So is this you escaped from the hell of 4GL, and into Python land?
@JourneymanGeek how'dya think the water gets into the spring....
 
@RоryMcCune nah, I have another 4GL batch a couple months away....
this is me digging in to the Checkmarx internals :-)
 
@RоryMcCune Oooh nice find
 
much more fun
 
8:31 AM
@AviD so more like a brief respite
 
@RоryMcCune Sleep? What's that?
 
@DavidFreitag amazinng that you can get what's more or less a fully fledged computer for $5 now...
 
@RoryAlsop takes a little longer than that ;p
 
@RоryMcCune nah, I see the 4GL as a brief enrichening, in between the fun work.
 
@RоryMcCune Well that all depends on your definition of "fully-fledged"
 
8:32 AM
@DavidFreitag CPU+memory+IO I guess it's missing storage
but then Micro-SD cards ain't exactly pricey these days
 
@RоryMcCune If that's the case then my calculator is a fully-fledged computer
 
@DavidFreitag sure why not, some calculators are, they also cost more than $5
 
the only issue with the zero is no ethernet
 
@DavidFreitag yeah I did notice that, but I guess still useful for some applications and there's always USB-->Ethernet adaptors...
 
@RоryMcCune Yeah but the speeds on the USB 2 ones is crap
 
8:35 AM
@DavidFreitag indeed, I guess if you need speed you need to fork out another $15
 
Good news everyone
I ran, and survived, even after several weeks of not running
I'm playing loose with "survived"
 
But knowing Broadcom they didn't even put an ethernet PHY on that chip so they'd have to use one of those USB->Ethernet chips anyway
 
@kalina well survived enough to type at a computer anyway...
 
obviously you're missing the "collapsed on the floor dying" phase
"oh my god I made it back home, how did I even do that, oh no I've isolated myself from passing cars to call for help when I start dying... oh no..." gasp splutter choke
 
@kalina yeah running after a break can be pretty tricky
 
8:40 AM
Well if it were me I'd have passed out on the side of the road only to wake up surrounded by a group of concerned people
 
@RoryAlsop this sounds like a fun computing/music thing that kids might like shop.pimoroni.com/products/piano-hat
 
it's difficult because when I first step outside it's cold and I'm underdressed for the weather
and it's all like noooo bed so warm
 
@kalina the zombies didn't eat you. Zats a win.
@RоryMcCune heh, the normal pis use a ethernet over USB chip anyway.
Wifi would be ace for one of those.
 
heya!
 
@M'vy watcha'
 
8:55 AM
Morning every and all entities and non-entities!
@RоryMcCune fine, back from Switzerland
 
@kalina I always thought that was good motivation to start running "shit, I'm freezing lets get going"
@M'vy nice, is it all snowy/wintery there?
 
@RоryMcCune nope. We had snowflakes, but the roads are cleared
 
@AviD dude it's not even 9am here and your on the college humor already!
 
@RоryMcCune no, there is an above 50% possibility that it will send me straight back to bed
 
8:58 AM
ha
 
@RoryAlsop hey mod, can I petition the staff for a "block mod" button?
 
@RоryMcCune you can just put them on ignore
 
@kalina there's that
 
makes their icon break the user list but you can just remove their icon as well
 
@kalina but then I lose the ability to mock his hipster-tendencies
 
9:01 AM
MUST... HAVE... PIECAKEN
 
it's like they don't even exist
I'm like one step away from turning my moderator ignore list into a white list instead of a black list
 
 
@AviD That looks all kinds of awful.
 
@DavidFreitag right? like awfully amazing!
 
Fruit in cake is like fruit on pizza. An abomination.
 
9:04 AM
@DavidFreitag in general, I agree. For apple piecaken, I'll make an exception.
also, pumpkin doesnt count as fruit.
 
@AviD No, no it doesn't.
 
happy turksgiving pumpkinday, btw.
 
@AviD I thought in the US they just called it "Happy Day before salesmageddon"
 
@RоryMcCune Ive been getting notices about "Black November" all month.
and Ive decided I'm not gonna wait for my preferred SSD to come down in price any more, its as low as its gonna get for a long time.
its still not cheap enough, but I'll just go for the EVO instead.
 
I've been getting emails sponsored by Ingress describing Hack Friday. Which is an excuse to walk up mountains and things far away from shops :-)
 
9:10 AM
I've actually completely ignored it this year,the UK had a brief spate of getting involved even though it has nothing to do with the UK, but they seem to have backed off a bit
 
Morning, btw
 
@RoryAlsop on a random note d'ya know Is Johnnie Walker black label any good?
just noticed that speaking of black friday things, Amazon appear to have £20 off a bottle of it...
 
@RоryMcCune meh, its drinkable, on a lark
if you need to mix random whisky for cocktails, its a good choice.
 
@RоryMcCune It's ... okay. It's not one of the better JW's
 
@RoryAlsop they seem to have all the johnnie walkers on sale today
@RoryAlsop any of them worth considering..?
 
9:19 AM
@RоryMcCune what pricing do they have on them
 
gold at £28.99, black at £15.99
red at £10.99
 
@RоryMcCune thats crazy cheap for the gold!
and about right for black.
 
The gold is damn cheap. The blue is at a good price for it, however for £50 you can get a much better single malt
 
heh.
 
9:21 AM
oh, ninjaed by @AviD
 
@RoryAlsop hmm I may get a bottle of the gold then...
 
@RoryAlsop yeah agree, if you're spending that much I would go for proper single malt.
 
@RоryMcCune it's nice. Most guests will be okay with it. It's not a single malt though :-)
 
@TerryChia thanks
 
@AviD is Twitter famous.
 
9:22 AM
damn bastard got like 30 retweets on ME!
@TerryChia pffft
 
@RoryAlsop heh, no, well my amazon wishlist this year featured some malts, so I'm hoping the family will get the hint and my whisky cupboard will get some new additions
@AviD and he didn't tag you ... the swine!
 
@RоryMcCune thats okay, I replied to him ;-)
ooh he's from Atlassian
 
I like how you guys get excited over a tweet with 30 retweets
 
@kalina "excited"
though thats more followers than I have in total
like, if each of my followers retweeted me twice
and then 2 of their friends
ah hell my only followers are in this room right now
 
9:38 AM
that's like "yay... somebody noticed I exist"
 
pls
 
@kalina heh, what sort of RT level do you get then?
 
@RоryMcCune 3000 RTs for saying good morning
 
pls, I'm not giving you numbers
many more than 30, though
for the most mundane things
I might go take a picture of a random cat and tweet that
 
@kalina catpics is cheating..
 
9:42 AM
lol
 
fine, I'll take the long overdue picture of the cable porn in my studio
 
porn is also cheating
you should post another of your home server rack.
 
no doubt posting a picture of myself wearing a jacket and a bobble hat complaining about it being cold is also cheating
 
yknow the one with the PS4, XBox, and HTPC.
 
@AviD pls posting racks is cheating
 
9:44 AM
@kalina hmm, it depends. link it here and we'll check.
 
I don't have any consoles
that's disgusting
why the hell would I own a console when I'm a member of the pc master race
 
@AviD avid's first delete of the day in 3...2...1
 
the GLORIOUS pc master race
 
@AviD lol
 
@kalina for funsies
@RоryMcCune hmm, why?
 
9:46 AM
@AviD you were suggesting to an entity potraying the personality of a young lady that she post links to pictures of herself with limited clothing on , so you could check them out
 
oh ffs what is the rational behind using something like cisco vpn
do these people think they're doing anything other than annoying the fuck out of me
 
@kalina someone hates having money and likes shitty software
 
@RоryMcCune "wearing a jack and hat" isnt limited
 
I bet they still allow their users to plug usb sticks in
 
@RоryMcCune that explains a lot of companies.
hahaha @Simon got flaaaaaaged
 
9:47 AM
I wonder who's flagging in here again
@deed02392 are you flagging poor simon?
 
but from like yesterday
from when I had to give him a cooldown period
 
@AviD who did you cooldown?
 
you should still add me to the read/write users list in here
 
@Simon....
 
@AviD oh but he's like your best friend on here?
 
9:49 AM
because I don't think I can survive another unexpected timeout for no justifiable reason
 
@LucasKauffman not me for change
 
your biggest fan
 
@kalina yeeaaahhh.... I still remember last time I gave you special privileges ;-)
@LucasKauffman well, I timeouted the whole room.
 
@AviD pls, I created the room, that wasn't even the same thing
 
@LucasKauffman Where have you been?
 
9:50 AM
just because you forgot to remind me that private rooms are for moderation purposes is not my problem!
 
@TerryChia well Texas last week, a week before that Georgia
@TerryChia next week Germany
 
Ahah.
 
@LucasKauffman because avid is a hypocrite who crosses the line and then pisses everybody else off because he crossed the line
 
@kalina pffft, no you're right, it was my mistake.
 
@TerryChia and amidst all that I'm still trying to sort moving my stuff overseas
 
9:51 AM
@kalina meh, not really
 
@AviD that's exactly what happened
 
@TerryChia what have you been up to?
 
or are you telling me it's ok for you to talk about masturbation but the moment somebody brings up gay bars that's too much?
 
@kalina whuuuuut
 
what is the most productive position in bed?
 
9:52 AM
a. I didnt, b. the "gay bars" mention wasnt the problem
@kalina oooh, is that what you meant?
I was taking it the other way.
 
you always take it the other way
 
@kalina With your back against the wall and your laptop on your, well, lap
 
then realized it would just get you to answer, so I retracted
@kalina hahaha
 
@Lighty pls, with your legs next to your ears and somebody who knows what they're doing between them
 
....
this is my fault too, right?
 
9:54 AM
@AviD Everything is
 
yes
@AviD if you had already made me immune to your next timeout tantrum we wouldn't be having this conversation = it's your fault
 
hey why am I not finding any proper thanksgiving sales on Amazon?
@kalina ah, so I should keep timeouting the room until you build up an immunity to getting annoyed from that?
 
@AviD no
 
@kalina wait wait wait, a human isn't capable of putting their legs next to their ears without ripping a muscle or twenty... are they? o.o
 
@Lighty DO NOT ASK
 
9:55 AM
@Lighty is this a serious question?
 
inb4 someone puts a link to that kind of thing in here
 
@AviD THAT DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE
 
aww hell, fine, let the @Lighty-mocking begin.
 
@kalina YES
 
@Lighty staying completely tasteful, google gymnastics
 
9:56 AM
@kalina hahaha thank you
 
@kalina nicely done
 
and surprising
 
@kalina That actually makes sense
I shouldn't have skipped my morning coffee...
 
or half of the life experiences you could have had by your age
story mode is boring, you have to complete the side quests
2
 
@kalina pls, @Lighty is still underage.
@kalina excellent
 
9:58 AM
@AviD Uhm, I'm not
 
@AviD pls, that never stopped me
 
@kalina cradlerobber
 
@AviD I was the underage one -.-
 
@kalina Something about Belgians and Cellars
 
@TerryChia how long until you're released from NS?
 
10:02 AM
great, what's he doing here
back in a bit
 
@kalina who doing where?
@LucasKauffman this you recruiting for EY?
 
@RоryMcCune maybe :o
@RоryMcCune need to settle in and start recruiting and doing sales
 
@LucasKauffman referral bonuses good at the moment?
ours are like £3k IIRC
 
@RоryMcCune not for staff, but I rather have someone competent working next me that I can trust than just a random person that was recruited for the sake of a sign on bonus :p
 
@LucasKauffman there's always that
 
10:06 AM
@LucasKauffman but wouldnt that competent person also want to work with someone competent they can trust? ;-)
#GrouchoMarx
 
@AviD :o
 
@AviD #TypicalTigger
 
@AviD so you declined the offer to replace Chay?
 
#TiggerIsNeverTypical
@LucasKauffman yeah
 
@AviD btw where was he going?
and why :p
if that is something you're allowed to share
 
10:07 AM
between the expected politics, necessary commute, and available budget, I decided it wasnt worth it for me.
@LucasKauffman dunno
I'm sure it will be public soon enough
my guideline, unless explicitly told otherwise, is LinkedIn updates.
 
@Lighty can you not do that. Hell, I'm older than Gondwanaland and I can do it
 
NO DONT ANSWER THAT
 
@RoryAlsop I can't even touch my nose with my toe
 
:25708479 hahahahahahahaha
one of those options is much easier still
@LucasKauffman I can easily bite my toenails if I so desire
yep - just checked
 
@RoryAlsop I'm 1.85M and can barely lift my knees to my chest, no, I can not lay my legs near my neck xD
 
10:10 AM
whew okay, this time the filters kicked in on time.
@Lighty you should try yoga
 
@RoryAlsop Were you behind your desk? Because that must have made some head turns :p
 
@LucasKauffman I'm still off work, but no - folks would assume I was just being me. I'm slightly non-standard in $LargeBank
 
@AviD I'm actually doing fitness at my.. err, Fysiotherapist? that's whats it called here, he also treats my chest and back, but I'm working on getting a healthier body, that includes my Legs
being "out of shape" does not necessarily mean you're fat, or too thin, muscles need development too, and already having troubles at a young age is not recommended :P
 
"physio"..
 
Physiotherapist in English
 
10:13 AM
was literal translation from dutch xd
 
@Lighty yeah, I was like that for a long time
 
one of my physios has got me doing Pilates (not Pirates with a lisp, unfortunately)
it's tough
 
strangely, sitting still and typing fast does not build up muscles throughout your body.
I was disappointed.
 
turns out my external muscles are decent - I can bench a lot - but my core muscles are crap
@AviD exactly
 
@RoryAlsop yeah... I heard pilates could help with that. Power Yoga does the job for me.
 
10:15 AM
I haven't practiced a sport for over a good 5-6 years now, and even when I did, I was rather underdeveloped, but that had more meanings, the muscles in my groins and legs were "short" and such, rather uncomfortable
 
TOO EASY
 
@LucasKauffman Not too bad. Got a new job.
@LucasKauffman 1 year.
 
@TerryChia shit :(
@TerryChia what you doing?
 
@LucasKauffman Developer for a security startup. Can't say too much.
 
@TerryChia it's secret :o
 
10:17 AM
For now I guess. :P
 
@TerryChia ooohhh!! Same as the one I was at last year. I saw they were looking in your area.
thought you couldnt take it since youre in the army....
 
@AviD Funny. :P
 
good luck!
@TerryChia its not?
 
@AviD Nope. It's a local startup.
 
@TerryChia if it were to exist, what area would it be located in?
 
10:18 AM
ah
 
@TerryChia so we can grab lunch some time ^^
 
@LucasKauffman I'm still serving NS. :P I'll be working from home on the weekends.
 
@Iszi That's just annoying.
 
@TerryChia ah true :(
@TerryChia you have lunch during NS :P?
 
@LucasKauffman Well yeah, but not for long hours.
 
10:21 AM
@TerryChia ah that sucks, is it at least a little bit interesting?
 
Not too bad I guess.
 
 
1 hour later…
11:25 AM
@AviD - this made me laugh:
I actually will be having a coffee today - yay me!
rehabilitation :-)
 
ooo I need some coffee
gots to go slice up some turkey first!
woot smells amazing
 
@RoryAlsop is that the old-mans version of "drink all the booze, hack all the things"
 
@ColinCassidy nah - it's for you coffee-driven folks. I'm very much a drink all the booze kind of person. If some of that booze has caffeine (a la vodka and Red Bull) then I'm fine with that :-)
 
btw just bought these new on-ear headphones from Audio Technica, what the hell, the sound is really amazing
I highly recommend them
m50x
 
11:58 AM
its weird, NewEgg always claim to have the best prices (they do), and then they keep having sales (amazing discounts), and yet somehow Amazon is always cheaper for anything I want.
