@AviD sometimes you get kilt when electric shorts.

@AviD Fascinating. I thought Hello Kitty came after My Little Pony. I had no idea, but sure enough, it started in the 70s. I learned something new today. I don't know if my life is better or not, but I'll err on the side of positive.

AviD

@Xander Oh great, so I'm the expert on Hello Kitty now.

Xander

@AviD Yes, yes, I believe that you've just demonstrated that you are. And My Little Pony. And Bronies.

Of course we already knew you were an expert on My Little Pony, so that isn't new.

Journeyman Geek

the current incarnation of MLP is pretty recent

Xander

@JourneymanGeek Yeah, but it originally goes back to the early 80s.

Journeyman Geek

12:16 AM

yeah

I'm old enough to remember

and care bears

Xander

@JourneymanGeek Yup, same era.

So, actually the same year. My Little Pony and Care Bears both came out in 1983. Which, interestingly enough, was also the year there were Christmas riots over Cabbage Patch Dolls. That clearly was a prime year for fad-inducing toys.

Journeyman Geek

We have lines outside mcdonalds whenever there's a hello kitty plush promotion going on

Why does YouTube take so long to steady up a video. Yeash.

For the record. @RoryAlsop youtu.be/5lcwGtg_N3A

Simon

@ScottPack Well done! Your daughter is cute as hell.

Scott Pack

She has her moments.

Terry Chia

3:17 AM

@Simon Yeah, I have a cold so I'm just gonna donate.

tylerl

what up, Internet?

I'm currently on my way to Mountain View, CA.

Terry Chia

@tylerl Oooh nice! So we can expect our Glass in the mail soon? ;)

tylerl

@TerryChia I can send you some glass if you want

Terry Chia

@tylerl Hmm, I'll settle for glass shards from a Google window.

Bonus points if it's the window of Larry Page's office.

tylerl

Here we go: alibaba.com/product-detail/glass_383039767.html

That appears to be some pretty cheap glass

Terry Chia

3:22 AM

Kidding aside, good luck! Have fun tomorrow (?)

tylerl

If Alibaba doesn't make you worried, it's because you haven't looked at it.

Terry Chia

@tylerl Hahaha! You can get anything in China.

AJ Henderson

5:35 AM

hey, anyone seen any articles with decently technical information on the DDOS attacks going on against MMOs for the last week or so?

AviD

7:22 AM

@ScottPack w00t, excellent!

yours was my wife's favorite so far. Must be your dashing good looks and manly beard.

or maybe your adorable daughter.

Rory Alsop

8:08 AM

@AviD I had to go back and figure out what you meant :-)

AviD

uh huh. Because you knew you left your hello kitty pillow in the other room?

Rory Alsop

@ScottPack Good work fella!

@AviD I even thought about havingAarthi's roaming unicorn in the vid...but thought it might get wet

AviD

heh

Rory Alsop

@AviD How is the new gig going anyway. After the initial couple of weeks, do they look good/fun/exciting

AviD

ah yeah

love the company, love what we're doing.

Terry Chia

8:13 AM

@AviD Do you work from a Starbucks on your #shinymac while drinking a latte now?

AviD

only stick in the throat was some... anomalies related to me coming on while overlapping the consulting work...

@TerryChia heh, no, I work from my lair on my #BigAssVDI with the #shinymac next to me, while drinking some cold-brewed singlesource thirdwave frenchpressed coffee :-)

Terry Chia

@AviD Ok, that sounds hipster as well. The snobby type of hipster. ;)

AviD

@TerryChia heh. so I've been told.

by my kids.

Rory Alsop

8:29 AM

@AviD ah - yes; I had that once or twice...

AviD

@RoryAlsop yeah, I dont recommend it, though it was really the best way to go about it. Though doing pseudo-consulting for a product startup's customers is a bit... weird.

also, the timing couldnt be much worse - between kids on holiday, and the AppSecIL coming up - sleep is a luxury I could only wish for.

Rory Alsop

@AviD hence the extravagant coffee lifestyle :-)

AviD

@RoryAlsop ha

not so extravagant, we've gone over this...

though I know I make @Kisunminttu jealous.

Terry Chia

@AviD ;)

AviD

ha, dammit

you know @Adnan is gonna be sending a special package to my house now, because of that star

or maybe I get visited by @Isis.

Terry Chia

8:35 AM

@AviD Don't worry. I'm sure intelligence agencies around the world are monitoring @Adnan already. Nothing particularly dangerous will make it through.

AviD

@TerryChia THAT is what I'm worried about.

Adnan

@AviD I think that's being taken care of on daily basis

AviD

haha

you "think"?

Rory Alsop

@Adnan hahahahahaha

AviD

okay fine then, somebody challenge @Kisunminttu.

Terry Chia

8:38 AM

@RoryAlsop That's being mean to @Adnan. ;)

Adnan

@AviD I think she'd do it

Rory Alsop

@Adnan and the ALS challenge, though...

Adnan

@RoryAlsop :D

I'd do the Ice Bucket Challenge if it were about raising awareness about the water problems in Africa.

Kisunminttu

@Adnan Faster than you can watch an episode of Robot Chicken

@Adnan slow clap

Adnan

@Kisunminttu Hey, man. Sometimes the Robot Chicken episode is really good and I get very excited

@Kisunminttu We can film it with Ville's cool HD camera

Kisunminttu

8:43 AM

@Adnan If someone actually challenges me

Why is it the ice bucket challenge if you're not dumping a bucket full of ice on your head?

AviD

@Kisunminttu except that to do that, we would need to know your REAL name ;-)

and only a few of us here do :P

@Kisunminttu umm.... its supposed to be a bucket of ice water.

in my case, and several others, the ice melts before it gets to your head.

in @RoryAlsop's case, the bucket of water turned to ice on the way down.

Kisunminttu

@AviD why isn't it the ice water bucket challenge!

AviD

@Kisunminttu TOO MANY WORDS

@Kisunminttu soo... how's your OCD coming along?

;-)

Kisunminttu

@AviD Hehehe, I was just about to write something along the lines of that

AviD

trust me, I know all about that.

Kisunminttu

8:51 AM

Reminds me of that video @Adnan showed me of a dude contemplating party poopers

@AviD you didn't look at all like how I'd imagined you

AviD

I consider myself a "recovering" OCDaholic, but that's not really true either. I just have learned to control it, mostly some of the time...

@Kisunminttu ooooo how did you imagine me? ;-)

Kisunminttu

@AviD Orange and bouncy with some dark features

:P

AviD

@Kisunminttu ha, that actually describes me well, no?

Ftr, my linkedin profile is open and linked from my SE profile, with my real face bare and free for all to see

Terry Chia

@AviD @Kisunminttu Careful, @Adnan might get jealous.

AviD

@TerryChia I don't think so. I'm pretty sure @Adnan puts on a @Tigger mask for their icky sexgames.

Or more likely, @Kisunminttu does.

Terry Chia

8:55 AM

@AviD not sure if I should star that

Kisunminttu

Now is the time when I think the chat is getting weird

Terry Chia

Damn, my new keyboard is noisy.

I think you two scared away @Adnan.

Rory Alsop

@AviD It was such a wet day - chucking it down heavily all morning, then there was that wee gap of about 5 minutes with less rain

@simon Done.

@Adnan @Kisunminttu @LucasKauffman you may wish to watch for a special message :op

Rory Alsop

@RоryMcCune hahahahaha - that looked like a bit of shock

Rоry McCune

9:06 AM

@RoryAlsop well ya know scottish rivers aren't the warmest at 9am !

AviD

@RоryMcCune THUMBSUP!!

+1 for the sec.se shirt ;-)

Rоry McCune

@AviD T-Shirt selection was a key element :op

Rory Alsop

@RоryMcCune definitely

AviD

@RоryMcCune yeah that looked coooold

@RоryMcCune ha! nice. Though I'm not sure it counts if you dont use real names :-)

Rоry McCune

@AviD well @adnan and @Lucas are real names :op I wouldn't wish to use @Kisunminttu 's IRL name in case she doesn't want them linked on line...

Rory Alsop

9:10 AM

@AviD I think it counts - I just pinged @Iszi. I couldn't remember his real name...

AviD

"Lucas" is his real name??? :-O

Rory Alsop

@AviD hahahahahahahaha

Kisunminttu

@RоryMcCune The smile at the end was the cherry on top! :) Thank you for the challenge! :P

AviD

looked more like a grimace to me :P

Rоry McCune

@AviD it actually wasn't quite as bad as I was expecting..

Kisunminttu

9:58 AM

Off to buy some ice cube bags ->

Rоry McCune

@Kisunminttu \o/

Adnan

Shit!

Gaaawd damn it, @RoryM

The logistics alone are a challenge

AviD

@Adnan your significant other doesnt seem to be having a problem.

just dump buckets on each other at the same time.

no wait, that would probably get X-rated pretty fast....

;-)

AviD

10:24 AM

dammit I HATE that I am getting good at all this wheelin' and dealin'

Lucas Kauffman

11:28 AM

@RоryMcCune shit

now I have to do it xD

and I'm still sobering up from last night

YOLO I guess

Adnan

@AviD Yeah, I guess

AviD

@LucasKauffman sorry! you looked like #simon with all the yolo on your face.

no, that's a lie, if it was @Simon I would have let it slide. He iced himself and all. And his donut too.

Adnan

I guess I won't do it in a kilt because @RoryA already did that

There's a chance I might do it naked, but I don't think @Kisu would be totally okay with it

AviD

@LucasKauffman DONT SAY IT

@Adnan it's been done.

Adnan

@AviD We can do it in a Finnish sauna

Lucas Kauffman

11:32 AM

mmm let me think who I shall nominate

AviD

and after the ice buckets you can whip each other with those branches.

Adnan

@AviD Vihta

AviD

yeah those

Adnan

This is an approximation

AviD

change it to #IceBucketAndVihtaWhippingChallenge

@Adnan thats NSFW for @LucasKauffman

Lucas Kauffman

11:53 AM

Who's not nominated yet?

Terry, Xander, david, Tildal, Gilles?

AviD

david and terry were.

Don't forget @kalina. I think we would all pay good money to see that.

Lucas Kauffman

So Xander, Gilles and Tildal

those will be my nominees

AviD

and @kalina.

Lucas Kauffman

@AviD she won't do it anyway

AviD

@LucasKauffman no, but she would set fire to you for suggesting it.

That is what we would all pay money to watch.

oh and dont forget our very own Googler.

Lucas Kauffman

12:00 PM

@AviD ah yes I'm going to make Tyler do it

in front of Google HQ

AviD

:-)

FEichinger

12:32 PM

@AviD You'd "see" nothing anyway.

AviD

34 mins ago, by AviD

@LucasKauffman no, but she would set fire to you for suggesting it.

Adnan

1:42 PM

@AviD I'd pay to not see that.

Scott Pack

2:17 PM

@AviD Definitely the dashing good looks and manly beard. Also hair.

Simon

@RоryMcCune Cheers! Well done.

Rоry McCune

@Simon no worries, it was a good way to wake myself up in the morning (not sure I'll make a habit of it though...)

Scott Pack

2:34 PM

@RоryMcCune Can you add subtitles?

Rоry McCune

@ScottPack wait you want subtitles for mine and not @RoryAlsop ... hmm guess this living in the highlands is having an impact on my accent!

Scott Pack

@RоryMcCune I think Glasgow is what had the deleterious impact on your accent.

Rоry McCune

@ScottPack but Glasgow Accents are the best accents :)

Lucas Kauffman

3:08 PM

@RоryMcCune I like the fact you are actually doing it in a stream :p

Rоry McCune

@LucasKauffman well seemed appropriate to use it as we've got one at the back of the garden :)

Lucas Kauffman

3:34 PM

Rоry McCune

@LucasKauffman woo :)

sounds like your friends found it amusing :)

Lucas Kauffman

@TildalWave @Tyler @Xander you guys are up next :)

@RоryMcCune they did :p

Simon

4:21 PM

Should there be a meta post with the videos?

Could be cool to archive these.

@LucasKauffman Yay ^^

Rоry McCune

6:33 PM

@LucasKauffman I added the man who started it all..... @AviD

Scott Pack

6:46 PM

@RоryMcCune Can we stop calling it an accent and start calling it a dialect?

AviD

7:12 PM

hehe, cute

@LucasKauffman I added some useless tags :-)

@Adnan and @Kisunminttu - make sure to add yourselves to :-)

Rory Alsop

7:31 PM

@LucasKauffman yay! I like the fact the 'related' questions in the sidebar to the right on that post are entirely unrelated :-)

Scott Pack

7:45 PM

I dunno, this looks related.

Q: Does Shabbos food make one fat?

Many times at a Shabbos meal when a person passes on a particular food item because they trying to control their weight, someone will inevitably respond with the answer "Shabbos food doesn't make one fat". When pressed for an explanation the most common one given is that since on Shabbos we have...
