hahaha, 520 = "wu er ling" same as "wo ai ni" which means, "I love you" . "1314" is "一生一死" ， one life and one death , means two people go together through one life and die together

Zacharee1

Thanks for the gift, ilysm vs I love you, honey

edwinksl

Zacharee1

romantic love, familial love, friendly love

@edwinksl SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK

Zacharee1

he's a ghosty

Rinzwind

12:49 AM

waching doctor who and then I am gone

Serg

totally not here ^_0

Zacharee1

are there new episodes? @Rinzwind

Rinzwind

nope. old one.

Zacharee1

darn

they've been doing like 10 a year lately

Rinzwind

it is the one with Oswin on the Dalek planet asylum

Zacharee1

12:50 AM

I don't think they've done any in 2016

@Rinzwind is that when she finds out she's the Dalek?

Rinzwind

@Zacharee1 nope. not even that. 6 last year. NONE this year. Perhaps a XMAS one

grr

next year we get 6

wat

@Zacharee1 yes that one :)

Zacharee1

12:51 AM

These had better be some amazingly good episodes with awesome effects and impeccable plots

Rinzwind

male companion so can't be any good :=)
I like clara.

Zacharee1

aha quora.com/…

@Rinzwind huh?

Rinzwind

@Zacharee1 new companion is a male ;-)

Zacharee1

rly

What happened to Clara again?

Rinzwind

and no DW cuz the writers focused on new episodes for sherlock holmes

Zacharee1

12:54 AM

It was almost a year ago :PP

@Rinzwind that show does need a 4th season

Rinzwind

and DW aint cheap to make D:

Zacharee1

yeah, but why were they able to produce full seasons beforehand?

Rinzwind

no sherlock holmes >:)

no idea :P

Zacharee1

it was being produced at the same time

and along with Torchwood for a while

Rinzwind

since it is SCIFI writing episodes should not be to dificult ;)

Zacharee1

12:56 AM

It almost like the Sherlock hiatus killed DW

Rinzwind

"I am not a predator. I am just a man with a plan" \o/

Zacharee1

say wat now

Rinzwind

That was DW :-)

Zacharee1

uh

Which should I make my boot animation?

or

Thomas W.

@Zacharee1 Personal preference is personal for a reason. Which do you like better?

Zacharee1

1:10 AM

I like them both

Thomas W.

alright, we'll call the first one "1" and the second one "2". grabs Random Number Generator in Mathematica

Zacharee1

lol

edwinksl

i pick 2

Zacharee1

I like the animation on 2 better, but I don't like that it says Android

Thomas W.

In[31]:= RandomInteger[{1, 2}]

Out[31]= 2

Zacharee1

1:11 AM

kk

Thomas W.

@Zacharee1 But since you don't like that it says android, you've already selected #1

Zacharee1

Who is good at editing multiple PNGs so that they're the same size?

but that just makes it undecided

it brings it down to level

Thomas W.

ah. Well, the RandomNumberGenerator has spoken, and selected #2.

I personally like #2, but since I don't have an android, it's moot :)

Zacharee1

o-O

no droid?

edwinksl

ios heretic spotted

Zacharee1

1:13 AM

does that look like it has fewer than 256 colors?

I might be able to import it with GIMP, crop it, export it as GIF, then use IrfanView to export the frames as PNGs

Thomas W.

@edwinksl oyi, you're not going to say 'no' to a free phone :p

i prefer Android for my tablets anyways

edwinksl

free as in zero dollars? good deal ;)

Thomas W.

@edwinksl phone was free, phone plan wouldn't change whether Android or iPhone, so the iPhone was free

Rinzwind

laters :)

edwinksl

@Rinzwind STAY

Zacharee1

1:16 AM

lol

Thomas W.

@Rinzwind See ya!

Zacharee1

oh won't you stay... with... me.

@ThomasW. you don't seem so broken up about it :p

Thomas W.

shrugs, and goes back to writing a Mathematica package for his statistics course's needed things

Zacharee1

signs of sociopathy :p

Thomas W.

@Zacharee1 lol. Not really, at least not according to my sister who's going to medical school for psychology/psychiatry :)

Zacharee1

1:22 AM

that's what a sociopath would say...

edwinksl

@Zacharee1 solid analysis

Zacharee1

ikr

Serg

Welp, i sort of have a script that loops over desktop gradients . . . . :/

edwinksl

why is @Serg still scripting

Zacharee1

it's an addiction

he's been to rehab, but nothing can stop THE SCRIPT

Serg

1:23 AM

Problem is that it's generating high cpu usage

#Cant_stop_wont_stop

Zacharee1

OK, is there a way on Windows to take matching pieces of multiple filenames out or do I need to reboot to Ubuntu?

@Serg == Miley Cyrus confirmed

edwinksl

in honor of @Serg's efforts, i have decided to do alias serg='sudo'

Serg

I think I'm just gonna make a list of hex values and just loop over them , because that CPU usage is just ridiculous

lol , that's an honor

Zacharee1

lol

Serg

Some people alias sudo to more profane things

Like i.imgur.com/gnIHPA4.jpg this one

Zacharee1

1:26 AM

ooh PowerShell

@Serg xD

I actually laughed

and you know how rare that is online

Serg

Mission accomplished, made Zacharee laugh

Zacharee1

Well that's an ego booster

edwinksl

be sure to put that on your resume

Zacharee1

lol

edwinksl

what do we do with such questions askubuntu.com/questions/791478/best-computers-for-ubuntu

Zacharee1

1:29 AM

omg

PowerShell worked

Windows did something useful!

@edwinksl I don't even want to read it

edwinksl

@Zacharee1 come on put your 7k rep to use ;)

Zacharee1

I don't want Pilot6 saying my answer is too generic again

edwinksl

i should go read meta to see what the consensus is

Zacharee1

here goes

rebooting

so much anxiety if it's a blank screen

Serg

Anybody wanna try out my gradient looper ?

Zacharee1

1:37 AM

what's it do

Serg

Just loops over gradient colors , kind of like wallpaper slideshow but for gradients

Zacharee1

gif pls

Serg

ugh . . .that's gonna take some time, hold on

Zacharee1

Seems I put it in the wrong dir

@Serg lelel

and it crashed

Serg

Why does the encoding the screencast into webm take for ever ?

Zacharee1

1:51 AM

bcuz

Well the animation doesn't work

Serg

@Zacharee1 here you go youtube.com/watch?v=O1IJwiiqiCw&feature=youtu.be

Zacharee1

just showed the splash screen the whole time

oooh

Serg

Why the frick my swap memory is filled up so much ?

I should probably make the secondary color change as well or something

Thomas W.

@Serg are you sure it's really 'filled'?

or is Cache just nomming it

Serg
