The DMZ

I'm downloading music to my phone just by looking at last.fm lists and seeing what sort of music they make/play on wikipedia. My headphone jack on my computer isn't working.

Adnan

12:19 PM

I bet @AviD would love that much ram on his face

kalina

@TerryChia that's besides the point, Apple fanboi

Terry Chia

@kalina Hey, it's not just iOS. WP does wonders with less amounts of RAM as well.

Adnan

Get it? Ramming his face.. no?

kalina

@Adnan No, @AviD would only want this kind of RAM on his face:

Terry Chia

@Adnan Explaining the joke just makes it sad.

AviD

12:20 PM

@kalina oh kebab yumyumyum

Adnan

@TerryChia That's sigh part of the joke

kalina

100 million sea-rams on his face

Adnan

I'm being the "get it?" guy

AviD

@Adnan you're explaining it again

Adnan

and now I explained that

@AviD Yup

kalina

12:21 PM

@Adnan explain why you keep explaining things

fine, don't then

Kisunminttu

Is Monolake worth listening to?

Adnan

@Kisunminttu Yes

Kisunminttu

@Adnan Alrighty, DL...

FEichinger

Ugh. Afternoon.

Kisunminttu

@Adnan Oh, they have so many albums... Which one do you recommend for a newb?

@FEichinger Good afternoon.

Adnan

12:23 PM

@Kisunminttu Their 2nd album

The intro is amazing

FEichinger

@Kisunminttu This afternoon is no good.

This morning was no good either.

Adnan

@FEichinger Give me his/her name!

Kisunminttu

@Adnan their latest album: "Although the album follows a primarily techno aesthetic, it also incorporates elements of drum n' bass, dubstep, and ambient music."

Didn't know you enjoyed that kind of music, too!

FEichinger

@Adnan ...

Kisunminttu

@Adnan You keep surprising me :*

Adnan

12:27 PM

@Kisu I'm not gonna keep this going. I've actually never heard of the band

Didn't even Google it

Kisunminttu

@Adnan I'm still downloading it :*

FEichinger

Alright, folks, I need your help.

Ping me.

Adnan

@FEichinger Like I said, give me a name. It's done

Kisunminttu

@FEichinger PINGGGG

Adnan

@FEichinger Jokes aside, what do you need?

AviD

12:28 PM

@Adnan lol I didnt expect that from you. Especially not to @Kisunminttu, after all she's done for you.

@FEichinger ping

@FEichinger pong

Terry Chia

@FEichinger ping

FEichinger

@Adnan I'm fixing a bug in my alerts script. Gonna ask for pings every now and then.

Adnan

@AviD Both of us done a lot for/to each other.

@FEichinger Alright

Kisunminttu

@AviD I knew he was messing around :)

AviD

@FEichinger I think if everybody randomly pings you every once in a while, it might be fun.

@FEichinger .

Kisunminttu

12:30 PM

@AviD You're not supposed to pong your own ping...

Terry Chia

squirt.io ...

AviD

@Kisunminttu no, its okay because it was a Ping on Demand

Terry Chia

What a suggestive domain.

Adnan

@Kisunminttu He's a noob

@TerryChia Oh, @Kisu.. check that out

@Terry Also, it's very shitty

Kisunminttu

@Adnan IDK if I want to install Squirt...

Adnan

12:31 PM

@Kisunminttu I can help you with it when I'm back

FEichinger

@AviD That would actually be helpful. Trying to debug a userscript is a pain.

AviD

jeez you guys, give it a break.

Adnan

The secret is pressing the up and down arrow keys repetitively

up and down up and down

Kisunminttu

@Adnan Oh, I would greatly appreciate that. I hope I can pay you back somehow.

Adnan

@AviD Having problems installing it?

AviD

12:32 PM

yes yes, we get it, you're new couple, both romantic. all hot and sweaty, yes yes. It's adorable, really.

Kisunminttu

@Adnan That's great advice. It should be starred, I think.

Adnan

@AviD We're not that new, actually.

AviD

but a little privacy goes a long way....

@Adnan everything is relative.

Adnan

@AviD Nah, it's illegal in Finland

AviD

I've worn socks longer than you've been a couple.

Adnan

12:34 PM

@AviD You wore the same socks for 1 year?

Kisunminttu

@AviD Don't get out much, huh?

Adnan

That explains a lot

AviD

heh, okay not that long. But being in the army, and "living" in nowhere, does awful things to a kid.

not me, but in general.

personally I am usually barefoot.

Adnan

@Kisu Let's create our own chat room.

SecsEd

Kisunminttu

@Adnan :DDD

FEichinger

12:36 PM

OH.

GOD DAMMIT.

Found the bug.

Fuck this.

Lucas Kauffman

can I join, then we can rename it to SecsEdDevil3some

Adnan

@LucasKauffman You can always join

AviD

@FEichinger prrrrriiiinggg

Kisunminttu

@FEichinger Better than an unknown enemy

kalina

AWESOME SAUCE

Lucas Kauffman

12:37 PM

@Adnan how old is kis actually

kalina

I just had a phone call asking for the home owner (which isn't me), insisting that they were calling from my bank, without being able to tell me where they were calling from

that was a fun conversation

Lucas Kauffman

@FEichinger you accidently were writing PHP?

kalina

@FEichinger the culmination of 5 hours of searching for the problem before realising the problem is you're using PHP?

Adnan

@LucasKauffman I don't know 21?22?23? Something like that

AviD

@LucasKauffman nobody does that on purpose.

Kisunminttu

12:39 PM

@Adnan Yeah, something like that

FEichinger

@LucasKauffman No.

@kalina N. O.

Asynchronous local storage is a pain.

Fuck chrome for not featuring any synchronized extension-wide storage.

Lucas Kauffman

@FEichinger you're german???

kalina

@FEichinger Y.E.S.

FEichinger

@LucasKauffman ... What?

Lucas Kauffman

@FEichinger Du bist ein Deutscher

kalina

12:42 PM

ah, my next line is far too inappropriate

Terry Chia

@FEichinger It's because PHP developers cannot write asynchronous code.

@kalina Did we ever agree what the PHP equivalent of developers is? I feel dirty saying "PHP developers".

FEichinger

@LucasKauffman I live in Germany. I am part German. I consider myself English, thank you very much.

kalina

@TerryChia no we didn't, I figured we'd just set fire to them and forget PHP is a thing that exists

FEichinger

I think that's missing the part where I'm more English than I'm German.

Terry Chia

@kalina Good plan.

Adnan

12:45 PM

@Lucas Thank you very much.

Lucas Kauffman

@Adnan what did I do?

Adnan

@LucasKauffman I don't know, seems like everybody is saying that to you. I wanted to be cool like @FEichinger

Lucas Kauffman

@Adnan Thank you! Random citizen!

Adnan

I'm hating the titles of the OWASP talks

"Wait, Wait! Don't pwn Me!"

"Relax Everybody, HTML5 is much securer than you think"

Rory Alsop

@kalina how long did you keep them going?

Terry Chia

12:48 PM

@Adnan That actually sounds fun.

Adnan

@TerryChia Alright alright.. I'll attend it. It's in 3 hours

Terry Chia

Anyone here uses zsh?

kalina

@RoryAlsop only 5 or so minutes

Lucas Kauffman

@TerryChia no why would you?

Adnan

@TerryChia I saw a friend use it. It was cool that you can press tab to complete options

Other than that, I know nothing about it

Terry Chia

12:51 PM

@LucasKauffman It looks like it has a lot of neat stuff.

FEichinger

@LucasKauffman So, why were you asking?

Lucas Kauffman

@FEichinger It's interesting

kalina

do you know what else is interesting?

cataloguing the lengths and girths of all of your friends so you can sort your friends by potential pleasure

2

the formula is

pleasure = ((length/3) * (girth/3)) * 12.5

Rory Alsop

@kalina but how do you get the raw data for the calculation?

do you just ask them

FEichinger

@kalina ಠ_ಠ

kalina

12:57 PM

yes

it's actually in my friendship agreement

under the non-disclosure warning

Rory Alsop

plus - there is a multiplier which you have missed off that equation

I call it 'ability'

it could be called 'experience' or possibly 'agility' I guess

kalina

@RoryAlsop that's why it's a scale of "potential" pleasure

Rory Alsop

@kalina lol

kalina

it only takes into consideration the physical attributes

FEichinger

@kalina Wait what?

Rory Alsop

12:58 PM

And do you use a similar equation for the guys?

kalina

@FEichinger wait what

;-P

@RoryAlsop lol

@kalina ?what wait

@FEichinger whit ? whut

Kisunminttu

1:02 PM

I've spent I think an hour trying to find new music to listen to. So far, I don't like any of it.

I... I guess I don't like music anymore.

kalina

@FEichinger ?tahw tiaw

FEichinger

@kalina Where was that fineprint?!

Terry Chia

@RoryAlsop Experience will weigh in your favor eh? ;)

Rory Alsop

@TerryChia I would imagine so, yes :-)

kalina

It is too late to edit this message.

I'm bored now

I'm bored da ba dee da ba die

so listen up, here's a story, about a little girl that lived in the bored world

and all day and all night and everything thing she does she's just bored

Lucas Kauffman

1:08 PM

I wish we could mute people or kick ban them for 5 minutes

kalina

why would you need such functionality?

who would you use it against?

Rory Alsop

@LucasKauffman you have 'ignore'

that effectively mutes

TildalWave

In SE chat. How about in real life? I could use such functionality in real life, I can always just not open SE chats.

Stephane

Afternoon, everyone

kalina

@TildalWave ignoring in real life is a skill you have to learn

basically what you need to do is put yourself into a state of mind where the individual you're ignoring is so unimportant that your brain stops registering what they're saying

TildalWave

1:13 PM

@kalina I still wish muting and kick banning wouldn't be considered an offence

kalina

@TildalWave heh, men everywhere would revolt if this was an actual thing

it wouldn't take long before kickbanning became a euphemism for kicking in the nuts

which effectively mutes your victim as well

and immobilises them

AviD

except for the whining

kalina

@AviD kick hard enough and there is no whining

TildalWave

@kalina still lands you in prison, which immobilises you in turn

kalina

@TildalWave psh, I just classify it as self defence

TildalWave

1:17 PM

I guess I'm pissy. It's a bank holiday here and pissing with rain.

I wonder if @Lucas ignored us all :)

kalina

@TildalWave it's raining?

@TildalWave probably

Arperum

@TildalWave I don't know, maybe we should test if @Lucas reacts to pings.

TildalWave

@kalina Yes, that's the verb :) OK, you're from UK, right? Plenty of rain there, so what verb do you use when you're bloody annoyed by rain already?

kalina

if @Lucas responds to pings?

what, you mean like, if we ping @Lucas lots?

@TildalWave I've never said I'm from the UK

I live here though

I don't get "bloody annoyed by the rain already"

sure it makes my hair frizzy and I'd rather not be in it

but it's not wind

I suppose in your sentence you could have said "It's a bank holiday here and it's pissing it down with rain"

or

"and we have torrential downpour"

or

TildalWave

oh we had both yesterday, that's why those clouds on the pic I posted were so blurred ... they moved a lot in 15 seconds

kalina

1:28 PM

"and it's wetter than <somebody>'s mum when I was with her last night"

TRiG

@TildalWave Pissed off. Means angry with connotations of frustrated. Not to be confused with pissed, which means drunk.

kalina

or

"and it's throwing it down"

or

"and it's raining quite heavily"

or

"and the weather is terrible!"

or

"and as usual for holidays, it's wet."

TildalWave

@TRiG Heh I know that, and what verb can you use for what the rain is doing that would sound perhaps slightly angry?

Rory Alsop

In central Scotland it never really does bad weather. The highest wind speed we have had here in the last 20 years is only a force 8, we don't get hurricanes or tornados, it doesn't get over about 30 degrees or below about -20, and while it is often damp, nowhere in Britain has rain like India, Malaysia or even continental Europe

so I think Brits complain about the weather just because it is so middle of the road boring

kalina

@RoryAlsop the weather in England is random more than boring

TildalWave

1:31 PM

@RoryAlsop I think you have a point there

random perhaps, but you don't get extremes so it's pretty stable random :)

kalina

@TildalWave there is nothing stable about hot weather in the morning and snow in the afternoon

Rory Alsop

@TildalWave yep - we get no extremes here at all

TildalWave

@kalina when did that happen?

Rory Alsop

other than extreme grey

kalina

@TildalWave It's happened multiple times in the last decade

Rory Alsop

1:32 PM

@kalina Oh - we get that in Scotland a lot

TRiG

@RoryAlsop The Atlantic throws a lot of stuff at us, but the Gulf Stream keeps it from becoming too intemperate.

kalina

not to mention the other variety of combinations

Rory Alsop

@TRiG where are you based?

kalina

like 5cm of rain in 15 minutes followed by hail followed by 30 degrees sun

TRiG

@RoryAlsop The Bog of Allen.

Well, Offaly.

Otherwise known as the flat boring bit in the middle of Ireland.

Rory Alsop

1:34 PM

Ahh - our bass player is from that neck of the woods. Well, Cork, really

TRiG

@RoryAlsop Cork has a landscape worth mentioning. Kerry, even more so. Offaly, not so much.

Rory Alsop

@TRiG hahahaha

TildalWave

@kalina Hail is not snow .... it's pretty common here too, and I kinda doubt you get as much of it as we do. But I don't remember even here that we'd have snow and 30°C (or the other way around) during the same day. 20°C and snow in the mountains yes, that's nothing special at all.

kalina

@TildalWave we've had 20 degrees and snow on the same day multiple times in the last decade

we've also had snow in may

because that's pretty normal

and hot sun during winter

FEichinger

@kalina YOU. I just made the alerts script case insensitive.

Kisunminttu

1:47 PM

I hate being emotionally attached to inanimate objects. I'm cleaning my closets and found a skirt I made in school when I was 13. Of course it doesn't fit anymore, but I can't get rid of it!

kalina

@FEichinger me?

FEichinger

@kalina Yes, you. Because you mentioned it the other day.

AviD

@Kisunminttu thats not nice to call @Adnan an inanimate object. ;-)

kalina

@FEichinger I don't care about that at all, I was just ensuring that when you develop software that you actually go all the way, instead of just throwing it together and then closing the door before it falls over

I don't even use it

Kisunminttu

@AviD You know full well I didn't mean him with "inanimate object" :)

AviD

1:49 PM

oh of course I did. But I couldnt pass up that obvious opportunity, nonetheless.

FEichinger

@kalina Fine, I was going to say "Because you mocked me about it", but I found that too self-deprecating ...

kalina

@FEichinger :D

it's bad enough that you're still a PHP developer, there's no need to be self-deprecating as well

Kisunminttu

@AviD It was a failed joke. It would be different if the first sentence was it's own message :)

FEichinger

@kalina And yet, you push me to it anyway. TSK!

AviD

@Kisunminttu true, but I'm never one to let facts get in the way of insults.

FEichinger

1:51 PM

Seriously, though, lots of progress today. Fixed a bug, made the alerts CI ... and caused another bug which I then also fixed.

kalina

so basically

you've done three things during this entire day

and I thought I was being unproductive today

FEichinger

SEScripts 1.5.1

Chrome Extension only, because I cba to read myself into Firefox extensions at this point (and I need them for the settings panel. The scripts currently don't work without that because JSON import.)

@kalina Hey, I also had a team briefing earlier today. I just got home two hours ago and then worked on this crap because reasons.

kalina

Chrome Extension only, because cross platform is only cool when *I'm* not the developer

FEichinger

Honestly, I would do cross-platform if it wasn't such a pain to implement with everyone handling storage and extensions differently.

It would be nice to have a universal standard!
