@TylerJamesYoung Yes, strictly speaking, it could be about any place. But, in context, barring any mention of a place, only "in this office" would be a reasonable reading.
Welcome, holy man from Assisi!
@RegDwigнt You must be right. I agree with your opinion completely.

Jasper Loy
Well, initially this Maria told me many things about her life so I thought we shared a special connection, but now she says she probably won't reply to my mails anymore, so end of story.
I guess she was just feeling bored when she told me so many things, and is no longer bored now.
 
Cerberus
Cerberus
Well, you shouldn't expect people you speak to on the Internet to want to actually date in real life, even if you have a special connection, unless you meet them on a dating site.
I'm sure she liked you in a different way and found you interesting. But it's not the same thing.

@ElberichSchneider I rejected your edit, changes too much of the original.
@Cerberus Because it is not my intention to find love now. I just happen to meet these Marias online and like them.
@Cerberus About her not having logged in for almost 6 months.

12:58 AM
@JasperLoy But it would probably be better for you. This way, it is a disappoint ever couple of months.
You don't have to actually do anything on this dating site, just make a profile and check out other people.
@JasperLoy Oh, is it that long now?

Jasper Loy
@Cerberus Yes, maybe I should join okcupid.com again.
@Cerberus Yes, since 11 May.

@JasperLoy Oh, I didn't know you had been on there. What was your impression?

@Cerberus It's pretty good. There was a Maria I wanted to message but she deleted her account just before that.

Q: The meaning of "yet" in "Ere yet the salt of most unrighteous tears had left the flushing in her galled eyes"

Hulder
A huldra is a seductive forest creature found in Scandinavian folklore. (Her name derives from a root meaning "covered" or "secret".) In Norwegian folklore, she is known as the Hulder. She is known as the skogsrå (forest spirit) or Tallemaja (pine tree Mary) in Swedish folklore, and Ulda in Sámi folklore. Her name suggests that she is originally the same being as the völva Huld and the German Holda. Males, called Huldrekarl, also appear in Norwegian folklore. This being is closely related to other underground dwellers, usually called tusser. Like the female counterpart, the huldrkarl is a s...

Fragile Things
Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders is a collection of short stories and poetry by English author Neil Gaiman. It was published in the US and UK in 2006 by HarperCollins and Headline Review. Most of the stories in this book are reprints from other sources: (magazines, anthologies, and even CD sleeves). Gaiman says in the introduction that the original title for the collection was These People Ought to Know Who We Are and Tell That We Were Here, after a word balloon in a Little Nemo in Slumberland strip. == Stories and poems included == "The Mapmaker" – a very short story included in the...
> The Monarch of the Glen – a novella-length sequel to Gaiman's novel American Gods inspired by Beowulf and set in remote areas of Scotland.
IIRC, Shadow, the American protagonist, is helped out of a Hulder in that one.
It’s a rather decent collection.
And I am not a Gaiman flag-waver.

thanks! sounds, interesting...

I like his good stuff. The rest, more blah.
His novella How the Marquis Got His Coat Back tells of a missing piece from Neverwhere, and is possibly the best in the Rogues collection it appeared in. Although The Lightning Tree was also good.
If you’ve read neither American Gods nor Neverwhere, I recommend them. The first is probably the better, the second more light-hearted.
Not that those are opposites.
At some point in Neverwhere, the Marquis loses his coat. At another, he’s somehow gotten it back. The novella tells that tale.
Neverwhere is more of a kids-like book. American Gods is somewhat less so.
I don’t recall whether Neverwhere was classed as YA; it may have been.
Oh. I didn’t realize they made him rewrite it for dumb Americans.
How said.
He’s lived in Wisconsin for a goodly time now.
I read the original version. Didn’t know there was one for people who didn’t know what the Underground was.
> Neil has described the difference between the UK and the US as cutting 2000 words (from UK) and adding 10000 (to US). iirc, This was mostly to do with editor's suggestion on cutting some UK humor and needing to explain UK locales for US audiences.
Well, or Blackfriars or Harrods or all the other London locales. If you’ve ever lived in London, or even just spent a lot of time on the Tube, it all makes fine sense.
St Paul’s.
I used to walk past St Paul’s every day for work. It was fabulous.
I think I appreciated it more than I did when I was a kid in college and walked past Madrid’s Prado museum every day.
I don’t use fabulous in that silly way. I mean it was the stuff of legend, to fill your dreams with stories about the great place.
The idea of banning a book for including the word fuck in it — like just once the whole way through — is insane.

Have you read Jerry King’s little The Art of Mathematics? It’s not Knuth, but it has a different purpose.
 
Ice Boy
Ice Boy
nope
 
tchrist

In a way, it is more for non-math people. But almost no one who is not a math major — and probably a grad student — ever actually does mathematics. King is trying to explain what that actually means, the aesthetics of the creative element.
In the sense that “doing” mathematics means creating new things.
It is inventive.
Just balancing your checkbook, solving polynomial equations, or doing linear algebra doesn’t count: you’re just rerunning what somebody else created.

It probably won’t surprise you, but for people who haven’t done anything other than basic (read: not abstract) algebra, it is an eye-opener.

@Cerberus Not a fool. Asshole of you like, grandiose, self obsessed, die hard capitalist, scourge of free software and free use but not an idiot.

You know you cannot win an Apple discussion with me. Or even begin to have one.
@terdon Some of those things amount to idiocy.

@Cerberus Sure I can, the trick is not really caring enough and feeding you tidbits just to see how far you'll go.

You know I will go all the way.

At any rate, Cook's speech is insufferably immodest and removed from sobriety.

why is 'immodest' a word? what's wrong with 'vain'?
No one says they are 'unvain'.

Not entirely the same.

One can be vain without showing it, which is more difficult with immodesty.

@Cerberus Yeah, is too.

Even though the tidbits are going like hotcakes, none of the tidbits are actual hotcakes.

This is hardly modest.
It is in very bad taste.

Almost a caricature.

one of the tidbits is prosciutto wrapped in soppressata
@Cerberus He's just being ... poetic. But really, paving with brick? Isn't asphalt or, better, concrete the preferred method nowadays?

Jews and Palestinians are now supposed to wait at different bus stops in certain areas in Israel.
And take different buses.
Palestinians are supposed to travel...apart from Israelis.
Gosh, what does that remind me of.
And this is in an area that the UN has determined is Palestinian territory, to make things even worse.

Do you happen to know if I can sync Android vs Lotus Notes?
Calendar & contacts
 
Mitch

I love Lotus Notes... in 1990!
They did it better than anything by far back then...but now everybody does what they used to do.

I like Sametime, the chat client.
Notes is meh but I'm not a power user. I just decline meetings with it :)
Need to figure out a way to sync an Android with it. If I fail to find a way I probably have to give up and accept an ifån cc/@Cerb
 
Mitch

I don't know anything about Notes or Android, but in the mail set up on Android, is there a choice of mail server being Lotus Notes?
How about this?
 
Cerberus
Cerberus
@JohanLarsson Noooooo!
What Mitch suggests sounds good.
 
Johan Larsson
Johan Larsson
@Mitch I don't need mail and don't think I will even try to connect to work servers
Will probably trigger some bs
I was thinking manually synchronizing locally
 
Cerberus

Huh.
I have no idea what Lotus Notes even are.

For my Nokia I have a program called PcSuite or something

It is a mail program like ms outlook
