@M'vy A Lannister always takes paracetamol for that.

M'vy

@Nוnɛfוngɛrϛ brought three tabs at work. Should do I hope.

Rory Alsop

youtu.be/cSqcftujcnQ is amusing. Final song from Saturday night - and then some backstage action...

SFW, but loud

M'vy

do we really want to know what happens backstage :) ?

Rory Alsop

Obviously I turned the GoPro off before that started

:-)

M'vy

@RoryAlsop XD

Anyway, gonna fetch something to eat now

AviD

11:11

@RoryAlsop aaaaand I just stole your fingerprints ;-)

Flyk

11:22

@RoryAlsop such a rockstar

with your groupies

@M'vy acid is not a suitable solution for a cold

you sneeze and start seeing bits of brain

OMG DID JUST SNEEZE OUT PART OF MY BRAIN?

looks in mirror

OMG EVERYTHING IS ALL WEIRD

AND FREEEEEEEEEEEAKYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

stares for 12 hours while randomly poking face

OMG MY NOSE IS LEAKING

MY FACE IS LEAKING

I'M LEAAAAAAAAAAAKINNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG

continues to stare at self in mirror while poking face

oh look, I can touch my nose with my tongue

why do I have a toothbrush in my ear

I'm sure this washroom had blue tiles

I’ve enjoyed the perverse shift of DJB becoming a crypto-only force for good and Schneier becoming an estranged security kook.

(not talking from... ahem... personal experience)

actually, the weirdest trip I've ever had

was during the period of time I was playing Left 4 Dead a lot

so I was walking through some place with a bunch of friends and came to this deserted overpass

suddenly I blink and there's like 40000 zombies coming towards us

ZOMG THERE ARE ZOMBIES DOWN THERE WE NEED TO GO THE OTHER WAY

nooo, there are no zombies, we're safe, we can go down here

noooo there are zombies

LOOK THERE ARE ZOMBIES

aim for the head

fortunately, I was with some people who weren't smashed on mind bending drugs

and they manipulated me into tip toeing through a field of zombies

the morale of this story is that acid is not a suitable medicine for a cold

also, it makes the vast majority of the current visible text all me, with @TerryChia linking some tweet int he middle of it

major success

literally the only active person in the dmz

Terry Chia

@Flyk Have you considered the fact that this is because of you?

Flyk

interesting

but doubtful

the people in this room would just talk over me

or tell me to stfu

because... the dmz

Arperum

@Flyk Nah, we like you to much.

Flyk

11:36

unless you're saying that secretly you all hate me and wish I was dead and that you prefer Lighty

Rory Alsop

@AviD hahaha - took me a moment

AviD

@Flyk you had me until that last part

Flyk

@Arperum aww <3

@AviD you wish I was dead, you hate me, but you don't prefer lighty?

Rory Alsop

@Flyk I was AFK to get some chocolate and crisps

Flyk

@RoryAlsop candy and chips?

Rory Alsop

11:38

@Flyk Nahh - I'm Scottish

Flyk

</American>

Rory Alsop

:-)

AviD

Perhaps I would even replace that - IF we had to choose ONE of you to hate and prefer death wishes upon, we would likely prefer lighty.

Rory Alsop

@AviD I can't parse that - it could be read either way I think

Flyk

@AviD but if the option was open for a multi-kill you'd include me, lighty and also throw in some Simon for good measure?

that's such a major disappointment

I thought you people liked me

(except @Arp <3)

AviD

11:40

@Flyk oh, multiple simons, to do it right.

Rory Alsop

Is there scoring? Like in Death Race 2000

Flyk

fine, I'll go and find another internet chat room to spend all of my free time in(!)

Rory Alsop

@AviD #multisimon

Arperum

@Flyk nooos :(

Rory Alsop

@Flyk no - don't do that

Flyk

11:41

I wasn't going to

AviD

@Flyk we do. We fully expect you to return from the dead, with even more vengeance and flames that burn ever hotter.

Rory Alsop

other chat rooms are all weird and stuff

AviD

yknow, like Dark Phoenix.

Flyk

I've basically been in every other internet chat room I'm going to enter

Rоry McCune

@AviD NURD!

AviD

11:41

@RoryAlsop "other rooms" heh

@RоryMcCune DARK PHOENIX IS AWESOME

Flyk

@AviD it's impossible to burn hotter than I currently do

Terry Chia

►

AviD

she frikkin swallowed a flykkin sun

Flyk

also, I've already phoenixed like 8 times in the last decade

Arperum

@RoryAlsop So you are saying that alone are 16 reasons you are weird and stuff?

AviD

11:42

@Flyk if thats a euphemism, I think somebody is doing something wrong.

Rоry McCune

@AviD well yeah X-Men stuff is generally my favourite comic, but comic book Nurdz are still Nurdz

Flyk

@AviD not a euphemism

Terry Chia

@AviD Heh.

Flyk

once upon a time I started life on the internet, known as <name1>, and I used Quakenet, and I played Quake

then, I started playing another game, and I stopped playing Quake and I called myself <name2>

AviD

Nov 14 '14 at 20:19, by Iszi

@raz This is the DMZ. Everything's a euphemism.

Flyk

11:44

<name2> and <name1> never crossed over in terms of circles of friends

and then I stopped playing the second game and started playing Counterstrike

and in counterstrike I was known as <name3>

<name3> was a completely different person to <name2> but was known by the people who knew <name1>

AviD

so, you're saying that you're secretly married, but your secret husband doesnt know about your other secret family?

Flyk

and then I started playing WoW

and I killed off the first three names

AviD

@Flyk dammit, need a mindmap to keep them all straight

@Flyk worse than DC

Flyk

until much much later, when I reappeared on Quakenet as <name2> briefly

fast forward until I arrived on SE

AviD

@Flyk yeah, that sounds about right for DC

Flyk

11:45

by this time name1-6 was used and dead

name7 was pixel

name8 was kalina

and if/when I leave here

AviD

@Flyk okay, really, NOONE ASKED.

right? wait, am I wrong?

Flyk

they will both disappear

actually pixel is already basically gone, except for chat history

because the website pixel came from accidentally had their database dropped with no backup

cough cough

so for all intents and purposes, pixel == kalina

Flyk isn't even me

Flyk is some person that name3 knew

I merely adopted the name because the original Flyk disappeared and the easiest way to find somebody who doesn't want to be found is to flood google with their old names so when they come and check what's going on they're all like WTF and curious

Rory Alsop

@RоryMcCune have you read issue 1 of Nameless, yet?

Flyk

@AviD I can't help it, I'm so bored

Arperum

@Flyk They ran into some ';drop database; type thing?

Flyk

11:50

boredom is my biggest security weakness

Rory Alsop

@Flyk it all just sounds like a lot of hard work

Flyk

@RoryAlsop everything worth doing is hard work

Rory Alsop

@Flyk It's my biggest annoyance, so I avoid boredom as hard as I can

Flyk

@Arperum no, somebody decided to give me local access to the machine hosting it

Rory Alsop

Luckily I have lots of unboring things I do for almost all my conscious time

Rоry McCune

11:52

@RoryAlsop noo? where would I find this?

Flyk

I have unboring things to do, I am just limited by creativity

or current lack of

Arperum

@Flyk ANd then you somehow deleted it?

Flyk

and/or just don't want to do them atm

@Arperum anybody even remotely capable when given root access to some machine can achieve this

Rоry McCune

@Flyk true most of your lapses have been when you're bored

Flyk

the hardest part is calling people friends while simultaneously withholding everything from them that would form the foundation of a friendship

Rоry McCune

11:54

@Flyk indeed tricky one

and surely if you're telling different stories to different groups to prevent cross-matching that would be hard too

Flyk

I don't, everything is extrapolated from me

it's much easier to do everything from personal experience

Rоry McCune

@Flyk true the simplest lie is the one you don't tell

means you don't have to keep track of things

Rory Alsop

@RоryMcCune I managed to get mine from Grant Morrison last weekend, as he was at our gig - but he reckons Forbidden Planet is his preferred option.

Flyk

while before that led to some real obviousness about who I am, I concluded that the easiest way to manage it is to time delay everything

so now I'm <x> years old, and the bulk of my experiences are based on me at age <y>

obviously when I say I'm out, I'm actually out

but the location in which I say I'm out, if given, will be from an equivalent event a year ago

so it's easier to just refuse to give out that information

Rоry McCune

@Flyk you must either then have a good memory or good records

Rory Alsop

11:57

@Flyk that ruins my detective work then... :-)

Rоry McCune

couldn't tell you exactly what I was going a year ago

Nוnɛfוngɛrϛ

@flyk are you secretly the grugq?

Rоry McCune

@Nוnɛfוngɛrϛ that would be hillarious

Flyk

@Nוnɛfוngɛrϛ on account of not knowing what you're talking about, I'm going to say no

AviD

@RoryAlsop yeah, but what about the boring things you HAVE to do

Flyk

11:59

@RоryMcCune it's pretty easy to remember standing in front of thousands of people playing your own music

Rоry McCune

@Flyk the Gruqq is an OpSec dude, I've linked you at least one of his presos before

Flyk

@RоryMcCune when it comes to remembering stuff, I'm selective

I don't, for example, remember you linking me said presentation

or how cross apply works in SQL anymore
