distance learning has it perks but I doubt you'd enjoy it

Roland Taylor

true :(

I might have to settle for "web apps" and "networking"

Journeyman Geek

@RolandTaylor: if its for knowledge only, take a look at coursera and udacity

msPeachy

@RolandTaylor but I give out free Ubuntu distro packaged on CDs

Roland Taylor

@msPeachy I'll be right over

@JourneymanGeek I agree it's for knowledge - for me that is

but for other people it's about the piece of stupid paper

msPeachy

@RolandTaylor venus is right around the corner

Roland Taylor

4:02 AM

so you can sit at home and say, "I have a piece of paper"

@msPeachy I can't seem to find it :(

msPeachy

forget about what other people think, education is important

Roland Taylor

Is it that big planet with the yellow atmosphere?

@msPeachy trust me I agree on that ;)

msPeachy

orange not yellow :P

Roland Taylor

Without having gone to study, I wouldn't have so many funny stories to tell my children some day...

@msPeachy looks yellow from here...

and it has these black dots

and spouts of gas...

msPeachy

@RolandTaylor i agree, children loves stories

lol

gas? i have no idea

Anwar Shah

4:05 AM

I think, all agree ^^

Roland Taylor

@msPeachy like this one time, I had a stalker...

actually to be technical it happened twice...

but the first time was the most disturbing because it was a guy O_o

msPeachy

lol

a guy stalking you?

Roland Taylor

true story :P

I would step out of a lecture theatre and there he is...

If I come down the stairs he would suddenly appear around the corner and follow me from a slight distance...

msPeachy

and...?

Roland Taylor

at first I ignored it

I was like ":D nah... that's nothing..."

but then...

he starts asking about all my female friends... if I'm "with" them...

Anwar Shah

4:07 AM

a story is on going

Roland Taylor

every single day O_o

msPeachy

oh oh

Roland Taylor

and then the following increased o_O

msPeachy

@AnwarShah yes, @RolandTaylor likes to entertain me with his stories

Roland Taylor

till not only I noticed it, but my closest friend at the time started to get freaked out...

AND THEN!

the fateful day when I was sitting behind him... and heard him telling his friend about a guy's... um... assets

msPeachy

4:08 AM

then?

Anwar Shah

@msPeachy Roland has far more story in google plus

Roland Taylor

@AnwarShah (:

msPeachy

@AnwarShah I'm not on g+ yet

Anwar Shah

@RolandTaylor ?? don't you?

Roland Taylor

@AnwarShah yes I do lol

msPeachy

4:09 AM

@RolandTaylor "assets"??? really? is this actually true?

Roland Taylor

@msPeachy I ain't lying...

true story lol,

msPeachy

okay, continue...

Roland Taylor

I wish it wasn't true

It ended after that lol

Anwar Shah

lol.

Roland Taylor

I was super careful not to let him even get with one foot of my presence :D

msPeachy

4:11 AM

lol

you should have filed a TRO

Anwar Shah

@msPeachy My lol started it again

Roland Taylor

lol

@msPeachy I would have filed a PIF

msPeachy

within one feet distance

Roland Taylor

(Punch In Face)

2

msPeachy

@RolandTaylor lol was he bigger than you?

@AnwarShah you're not used to "lol"?

Anwar Shah

4:12 AM

Must be

Roland Taylor

@msPeachy he was approximately 3/4 my size

but that doesn't matter cause when I'm mad...

:)

?

(:

@msPeachy ?

lol okay let me illustrate with another story...

it's a short one

msPeachy

4:13 AM

do guys slap each other or just punch each other?

Roland Taylor

once upon a time...

my lab partner got stuck behind me while I was looking through a microscope

msPeachy

uh uh here goes another one...

Roland Taylor

so, she grabbed me from behind

and I spun around with my fist in the air cause I thought it was the professor... and he used to watch me kinda funny :P

msPeachy

literally grabbed you?

Roland Taylor

lol yes :D

msPeachy

4:15 AM

what did she grab?

Roland Taylor

she missed a PIF by just a second lol

@msPeachy :).....................

I was looking through a microscope...

msPeachy

ohh lol

Roland Taylor

I think she nearly had a heart attack from my reaction lol :D

msPeachy

that must be a hilarious scene

Roland Taylor

it stopped the lab for most of the rest of the night lol

msPeachy

4:16 AM

i must remember never to grab you from behind

Roland Taylor

lol

msPeachy

lol

well, she could have just tapped you on the shoulder

Roland Taylor

exactly!

msPeachy

that's what I do

maybe she was too short to reach your shoulder?

lol

Roland Taylor

lol well that might have been it :D

Or maybe people experience temporary insanity when in close proximity to me...

msPeachy

4:19 AM

so she was your second stalker?

@RolandTaylor boom

Roland Taylor

lol nah

@msPeachy that one was worse...

and that's one story I'm not going to tell...

msPeachy

oh is this the long sad story thing again?

Roland Taylor

:)

oh no

it was physical :)

msPeachy

an actual stalker?

close proximity as you say?

Roland Taylor

pretty much

msPeachy

4:20 AM

i have ways to get you to tell me

Roland Taylor

it was more like:

- Me: befriends person cause I'm so nice...
- Her: OH WOW HE'S BEING FRIENDLY
- Me: ...
- Her: >:] <censored>

and that's as much as I'm telling on a room about Linux :)

msPeachy

lol

this is a room about Ubuntu actually

Roland Taylor

oh yeah :D

(and I never seem to be on-topic)

Anwar Shah

Ubuntu == Linux

msPeachy

sometimes you need to stop being so nice to girls cos they misinterpret your kindness and randomness

well, from time to time, i am on topic, except when you're around

Roland Taylor

4:24 AM

@msPeachy lol

msPeachy

and also when dino is around...i try to annoy him as much as i can

4

Roland Taylor

@msPeachy I learned that one the hard way :(

still learning to master it

I can be "normal" on rare occasions... such as when I'm sleeping :)

@msPeachy LOL

Anwar Shah

> and also when dino is around...i try to annoy him as much as i can

@Jokerdino ^^

msPeachy

Anwar Shah

Roland Taylor

msPeachy

@AnwarShah what?

Anwar Shah

Roland Taylor

@msPeachy if it's awesome, it's starred :)

Anwar Shah

so, it will be there

He will see at least the starred messages

msPeachy

@RolandTaylor was it awesome? dino will surely read it when he comes in, i'd have to create another room and hide

Roland Taylor

4:28 AM

@msPeachy don't worry, we'll protect you!

I think...

Anwar Shah

I gave 1 star

Roland Taylor

or at least I hope so...

msPeachy

you should, you both gave it a star

Anwar Shah

No one can protect you from dino

msPeachy

lol

Anwar Shah

4:29 AM

I myself aware of his ....

Roland Taylor

I'll just spam him with questions in need of close votes lol

msPeachy

@RolandTaylor good thinking

Anwar Shah

But, I'll give him the message as soon as he arrive

Anyway, He will read the ping.

msPeachy

@AnwarShah he's never been angry with me, he tolerates me...i think?

Roland Taylor

Anwar Shah

4:31 AM

Roland Taylor

I'm making you a better winner ^_^

msPeachy

Anwar Shah

I want to flag this as NA. Is it OK? askubuntu.com/a/164949/61218

Roland Taylor

@msPeachy you're welcome, I believe :P

@AnwarShah That should be a comment actually.

Anwar Shah

4:54 AM

@RolandTaylor thanks.

Roland Taylor

@AnwarShah you're welcome :)

msPeachy

@AnwarShah yes, flag it

Anwar Shah

I am trying to do some noble works

Roland Taylor

@AnwarShah good stuff ^_^

msPeachy

@AnwarShah you're doing a great job my friend

Don't mind @RolandTaylor and me, we're here to annoy people...

jk

Roland Taylor

4:56 AM

haha

the people who get annoyed by me are either sleeping, out partying, or otherwise occupied ;)

Anwar Shah

@msPeachy you are not annoying anyone

msPeachy

@RolandTaylor i can afford it, since you're gonna protect me...

@AnwarShah well thank you

Roland Taylor

strikes a super hero pose

"cue wind for my blowing cape shot"

msPeachy

lol...like that

Anwar Shah

Real annoyance, Is he trying to only fix Windows with Ubuntu? askubuntu.com/q/164950/61218

I think, in that case, It IS a OT

Roland Taylor

4:58 AM

@msPeachy if anything goes wrong, just say "Roland made me do it"

3

@AnwarShah I'm investigating

msPeachy

@RolandTaylor your cape reminds me of the villain from the incredibles, have you watched it?

Roland Taylor

Yes! I watched it about 3 times too

@AnwarShah definitely off topic

msPeachy

I love that movie
