Do I have to wait until tomorrow to have my donuts?

IanC

12:59 AM

shit, I got something in my eye in the way home, now I feel like there's still something there everytime I move it, it's so red if I walked on the street I would probably be stopped and frisked

TheXed

You need one of my donuts

Nathan Osman

I need a donut.

TheXed

@NathanOsman take a look at the screen shot :-D

Nathan Osman

O_o

TheXed

auto correct went rogue btw...

IanC

1:10 AM

I found a solution for the irritation in my eye

I just have to never blink again

TheXed

@IanC Visine...lol

IanC

I used some eye drops, didn't work

I'll probably try to sleep earlier to see if the irritation goes away until tomorrow

I think it's gone O.O

I'm blinking and it's all good all of a sudden

Serg

ew it's cold outside

i dun wanna wintor

IanC

it's really hot here

but I do prefer hot days than really cold winters

Serg

me too

but i don't like bugs in summer, they're everywhere in summer

IanC

1:21 AM

not many mosquitoes there right?

TheXed

@Serg I agree...

IanC

man, I'm in a bit of a bad mood today

I was about to close the deal on the girls place, but some guys I talked to reached me out, and their room was much cheaper, so I thought about going there to talk to them and see if it would work out

so there I go, I talk with the guys that live there. All good, they ask me if they can give me an answer on the weekend. I said that I was about to close the deal with the girl, so if they could give me an answer ASAP it would be better, and the guy is like "Oh, it's pretty much a go, they just need to talk to their parents and we reach you"

at the same time the girl starts to pressure me if I'm closing the deal with her, I postponed the answer to the weekend, so today I reach them out and ask if they have an answer, and they are like, "they will call their parents, can we tell you tonight?" (like wtf, are they sending fuc**** letters to their parents? Should have seen it coming)

Nathan Osman

Chat script is fixed.

IanC

so I wait, and when I'm coming back from an job, I see a message like "Thank you for coming by, we closed the deal with a friend of one of the guys here. Good luck on finding a place"

and I'm like, "you could at least be honest that you're talking to somebody else, you told me it was pretty much set and I almost screwed another deal waiting for an answer"

and they "sorry that I made it look that way", and I "that's childish, but alright. bye" (should have been a little more harsh, like saying I was going to throw some dogshit on his house or something..)

and here I am, now trying to close the deal with the girl, if it doesn't work I'll just move to my workplace, live sleeping in a wooden table

TheXed

@IanC is she hot?

IanC

after the whole story that's what you're curious about? lol

well, she is actually

TheXed

then close the deal already...

IanC

lol

she is a otaku (is that the word?), like, she does cosplays and work with it I think

has 2 cats, go to ocean biology college (I guess)

and that's pretty much all I know about her

Nathan Osman

Is this common?

Three sets of twins? https://t.co/46XGKrcFvJ

I think you just won the lottery of eggs

Nathan Osman

Yay!

Serg

2:31 AM

@IanC I think otaku is for male , japanese language is supposed to have something similar for female

Meanwhile, Serg is procrastinating with new github repo github.com/SergKolo/ayatana-indicator

I think this indicator is stable enough to be released so . . . here it is, version 0.1

Any comments on the UI ? Anything I should improve ?

em . . wait , screenshot . . .

IanC

2:50 AM

@Serg what are your goals on this indicator? The UI seems good, you could do the same you did on udisks to get the information aligned on the submenus

Serg

@IanC the goal is to show list of open apps, and each submenu is list of windows for that app. Plus extra info, like PID, XID, what workspace and monitor this window occupies, and whether or not that's the currently active one

clicking on any window menu-entry will raise that window

IanC

cool, it's looking good so far :)

Serg

Will need to work on the icons a little. I've noticed my terminal icon doesn't show under Adwaita theme

IanC

what is that green profile picture @Seth? Nathan is also using it

Q: Happy Oli♦ Day 2016!

In case you are wondering what this is all about, I'll direct you to this related question: A happy Oli♦ day! Basically, we are celebrating our beloved moderator Oli. It's not his birthday, as since rumors suggest, but rather the anniversary of his becoming an Ubuntu member. Or to put it another...

IanC

lol

it's 12th November here now, I think I missed the party :/

Serg

i wanted to change my pic too, but i got too late to AskUbuntu tonight

Nathan Osman

Why is someone sending me an email asking me to review Macbook batteries...?

I don't have a Macbook.

@IanC I should have started this last night.

Serg

gosh, i need my energy back. I wanna be a normal human again

Seth

3:29 AM

@NathanOsman say yes, you'll gladly accept a macbook and some batteries from them to test.

Nathan Osman

How can I test them?

I just had to share that.

Seth

I thought it was hilarious xD

Nathan Osman

And truthful.

@Seth ...and the follow up:

@PlusSubtilQueCa @shelajev @FrenchRedFrog IoT is short for Private Internet Security Things On Line, or PISTOL

@edwinksl voted since someone else (you?) did. I just thought possibly that wasn't exactly no repro, maybe the comment could be an answer needed by others, but shrug

Journeyman Geek

@Zanna I had vegan nutella ice cream today ;p

there's a place that makes it with brown ricemilk

Not bad, other than the stuff being the sort of thing you need to grump down with a pint ;p

Zanna

@JourneymanGeek mmmm sounds fantastic

there is a vegan ice cream parlour in London called Yorica! that make everything with rice milk - they have like 10 flavours and 4 kinds of fro-yo and crazy toppings like oreo crumbs and brownie chunks.

Journeyman Geek

ahh dairycream.blogspot.sg/2014/01/brownice.html these guys I think

Zanna

yum, looks fab ^_^

it is kind of too cold for ice cream in London now. I had some yesterday anyway though, I'm a die hard addict I guess ^_^

heh just reviewed my 1000th suggested edit!

12:05 PM

Byte Commander

I only have around half of that, so it's great. Congrats.
