The DMZ

and, yes, I am using you lot as an excuse to avoid doing the work I should be doing now but don't want to, instead of doing the work I want to be doing but shouldnt do until after the work I don't want to do.

Rоry McCune

nice rate, you're doing better than most/all testers there

Flyk

@AviD we are not your procrastination-enablers

@RоryMcCune not taking into consideration downtime

AviD

@RоryMcCune please, EY junior consultants get billed out at much more than that. Of course they barely see any pennies from it...

Flyk

it's not big numbers really, it's like saying "I get paid $1000 an hour! For 1 hour a week!"

AviD

10:42 AM

@Flyk wow, what did you have to do for that hour?

Rоry McCune

@AviD yeah sorry I meant freelance/boutique. I've never earned the rate I used to get charged out at as an EY consultant, which is amusing given I know way more now than then

Flyk

@AviD "press play and pretend to twiddle knobs" if the conversation in here is anything to go by

AviD

@RоryMcCune yeah, the Big4 is not known for being cost effective

@Flyk that escalated quickly....

Flyk

you started it

Rоry McCune

@AviD yeah £750/hour for partner time ain't cheap

AviD

10:43 AM

@Flyk not really...

@RоryMcCune and usually not worth it

Rоry McCune

@AviD well apart from the CEO saying "the big-4 said it was ok"

@AviD you did really tho'

AviD

:23032144 but, if I ever have half a million to spare, I will keep you in mind for a few days ;-)

@RоryMcCune NOW I did

Flyk

@AviD "a few days"

Rоry McCune

@AviD have a new track you need written, huh

Flyk

after fulfilling my travel and accommodation requirements, your half mil isn't going to get you far

AviD

10:45 AM

@Flyk figure at that point, there should be a volume discount

also, I think this conversation is getting worse by the moment.

I regret my contribution to it, and would like to retract my participation.

Flyk

without your contribution the conversation isn't even remotely bad

AviD

@Flyk well

after the deletions, it's all innuendo

and yeah, you tend to bring out the crudeness in me

Rory Alsop

@Flyk ahh - you read that? I didn't say press play though :-)

Flyk

isn't that like the raison d'etre of the DMZ

@RoryAlsop I see everything

AviD

heh, true

Rory Alsop

10:48 AM

@Flyk I believe you. It is a pity DJ's can't move round the stage much though - they are pretty fixed in position, which does take away a lot of the entertainment spectacle for me

Flyk

@RoryAlsop I actually have a video of pretty much this exact thing (A "DJ" faking it on stage) and it makes me sad

@RoryAlsop last I checked, 70% or higher of the people who turn up wouldn't pass a drugs test, I'm sure they're not focusing on anything other than staying upright and keeping their lunch

Rory Alsop

@Flyk those ones generate the bad name for those who do an amazing amount of work on stage. I saw one guy playing some kind of "noisecore" from my position at the side of the stage. I don't like that kind of music, but what an amazing amount of energy and effort went into it -he was all over various devices, setting triggers and timing

@Flyk lol

@AviD tut tut - excuses

Flyk

@AviD so what's your excuse for the last six months?

AviD

> 99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name

Rory Alsop

Wow - just read that deleted post...it did escalate quickly. Luckily it de-escalated quickly too :-)

AviD

10:51 AM

@Flyk that's just mild crudeness. you bring out the worst stuff.

Flyk

I say felate and everybody is all like ZOMG IT ESCALATED :O :O, Simon talks about his D and nobody pays attention

Some equality issues here

AviD

well, obviously these things are not equal. It's not like what @Simon is talking about can go anywhere.

Flyk

Sure, not enough length to breach

I did actually come here for a very specific reason this <time of day> and I've forgotten what it was literally the moment I arrived

Rory Alsop

Actually, I have kicked him a few times for D related comments in the past

@Flyk hahahahaha

AviD

@Flyk we tend to have that effect on people

@RoryAlsop ah, good times...

Rory Alsop

10:55 AM

@AviD That is the name of one of the beers I had last night. Good Times. It was alright :-)

7 Giraffes was better

Flyk

I'll go away for a bit and see if that memory returns

AviD

@RoryAlsop ha!

@RoryAlsop as good as 12 Monkeys?

Flyk

oh right, I came here to vote

Rory Alsop

@Flyk It will, but only at an annoying time, like just as you get on a phone call or answer the door

Flyk

congratulations @Xander, you're it

AviD

10:56 AM

silly @Flyk, thats not here.

Rory Alsop

Oh, yes - you mentioned that up the top there

Flyk

I'm done now

bye again

Rоry McCune

o/

Rory Alsop

@Flyk have a lovely Monday

AviD

no no no, you need to vote for 2 more people.

Rory Alsop

10:56 AM

(or possibly Tuesday... I guess)

AviD

in case @Xander gets disqualified.

Flyk

@AviD I would but there aren't enough good candidates

Rоry McCune

@Flyk there's at least 3

Rory Alsop

@Flyk what he said ^

Flyk

sure, if you set your standards that low

AviD

10:57 AM

@Flyk pls. half the candidates might be joke nominations, but the other half are great.

AT LEAST as good as the mods we have now.

Rory Alsop

@AviD yeah, that too

:-)

AviD

;-)

Flyk

I didn't realize we should be using the current moderator team as a benchmark

in that case, congratulations @Simon, you're it

AviD

@Flyk I think we already made clear that we have low standards.

Rory Alsop

@Flyk It's all we've got

@Flyk Still talking about the election? Or taking on an apprentice?

Flyk

10:58 AM

I can't vote for @Adi - he rejected my edits and thus wasted my time

I can't vote for @Simon - he ignored my advise and thus wasted my time

I can't vote for @TerryChia - I know he cheats at hatbash

and I can't vote for @schroeder because I don't have a clue who he is

I'm actually more bitter that I got banned for it and he got away with it all

but c'est la vie

Rоry McCune

well that still leaves @polynomial , @Iszi , @ScottPack , @LucasKauffman and @M'vy IIRC

Flyk

I don't know who @polynominal is

@LucasKauffman is a llama and thus I can't vote for him

Rоry McCune

@Flyk rly did you have no cross-over with him, he used to be pretty active in the DMZ

Flyk

@RоryMcCune I've seen him around, but then I've seen lots of people around and certainly don't claim to know them

and tbh, the rest of your candidates don't have all of the moderation achievements

which basically shows a lack of care

Rоry McCune

that's a very exacting set of criteria you have there

Rory Alsop

11:02 AM

I'd have failed it :-)

David Freitag

@Flyk From my interactions with him he is a bit of an electronics guy like me, but he is also quite funny.

Flyk

why should anybody have moderator privileges when they didn't use the user level privileges?

Rоry McCune

@RoryAlsop reminds me of the time that we worked out none of the EY experienced hires would've got into the grad programme...

Flyk

seems like a power grab

Rory Alsop

@DavidFreitag and likes good metal music

Flyk

11:03 AM

not that I mean anything against any of the above individual's characters as a result of any of the above

David Freitag

@RoryAlsop Ah, yes, and that

Lucas Kauffman

Flyk

and now I shall leave because the list of things to do is longer than the time available

11:06 AM

@LucasKauffman That's a bit terrifying.

AviD

@DavidFreitag so is the fact that there is no law forbidding @Simon from procreating.

WOW sorry @Simon that one was quite harsh.

Rоry McCune

@AviD so you've just dropped the C now that @Flyk has wandered off..

AviD

@RоryMcCune the C?

Rоry McCune

@AviD yeah before you were crude, now you're just rude :)

AviD

ahh hahahah

yeah but that's usual, @Simon is my rudeness outlet, this enables me to be more polite to the rabble.

Terry Chia

11:20 AM

@Flyk To be fair, that means I know how to game the system. All the better to prevent actual abuse as a mod. ;)

The other half has some cool shipwrecks, rocks, and snakes, but if you move those out of the way, it also has more sky.

David Freitag

Has anyone here been to a maker faire?

AviD

no, but I did mack on a fairie once.

Rory Alsop

11:34 AM

@AviD I dread to think what that could mean

AviD

"mack" or "fairie"?

Rory Alsop

mack - and specifically "mack on a fairie"

AviD

anyway, I lied.

@RoryAlsop is that not a britishism?

Rory Alsop

@AviD not as far as I am aware

AviD

LMGTFY

David Freitag

11:37 AM

@AviD Mack as in MacGyver? You did MacGyver?

Rory Alsop

@AviD Urban Dictionary != Britishism

:-)

AviD

@RoryAlsop hehehe, but you wouldnt have clicked it otherwise!

also, UD often gives slightly different slang than that I am famliar with... usually need to scroll down quite a bit to find the definitions I know

Brilliant!

I don't know

Simon

@AviD I won't do it newayz

@AviD and pls

AviD

@RоryMcCune don't the Sith just call them "apprentice"? I think padawan is a Jedi-only term.

Rоry McCune

@AviD you realise @Simon is about to "Nurdz" you

Simon

He's past the nurd type.

Rоry McCune

12:38 PM

So is everyone ready to either drown in a sea of new 1337 hacks or take the week off social media next week....

Simon

Rоry McCune

Simon

12:51 PM

@AviD But then you realized that you have 134 kids to take care of.

AviD

@Amelia yeah? I hope to make it this time.

Amelia

@AviD you saying I'm not scary?

AviD

@RоryMcCune and the interesting stuff, too

Rоry McCune

@AviD heh

David Freitag

@Amelia Yes

AviD

12:52 PM

@Simon no, I decided not to sell my soul to the company that was gonna fly me there

I know, I'm not sure it wasnt a good deal

@Amelia everything is relative

Amelia

@AviD you may regret that

AviD

@Amelia you'd be surprised at the things I could regret

no wait

Rоry McCune

@Amelia It won't be the first thing that @AviD regrets from this morning

AviD

hmm no way I can save that one, can I

Amelia

Anyways, not going to tell you what I look like at defcon. Just going to break into your room and throw a bucket of ice at you.

AviD

12:53 PM

Amelia

@AviD You know I can still see that right?

AviD

Flyk

@Simon I came here to tell you "the third time I told you to, yeah"

that's literally the entire reason I'm here

AviD

@Amelia yeah, but I have deniability.

@Flyk you mean "figuratively"

David Freitag

12:55 PM

@DavidFreitag Death is imminent!

Simon

@Flyk Third time's the charm

Rоry McCune

@AviD until some evil sod posts a screenshot of the post history of course

Flyk
