Zacharee1

Any idea why this formatting isn't working?

askubuntu.com/review/first-posts/480355

ctrl k just indents and doesn't actually put it into a code block

Serg

@Zacharee1 because it's in the number list . Change the number list to plain text . . . .

Zacharee1

oh

Wait no that number list is plain text.

Serg

@Zacharee1 edited, I added a string before the code

Zacharee1

ah ok

Fabby

23:27

@KGIII When you need one more point to get to 15K, we'll help you too!

:P

KGIII

LOL I don't think I'll ever get there but that's okay - I'll learn while I try.

Zacharee1

@Fabby :}

Fabby

@KGIII hey, about a year ago, I had the same kind of rep as you!

Zacharee1

@Fabby Yikes!

KGIII

LOL Did you just forgo sleeping or?

Zacharee1

23:29

@KGIII @Fabby knows all

Fabby

@KGIII nah, I'm out of a job and looking for a new one...

KGIII

He does appear to. I've seen his answers.

Ah, I'm retired so I am way too lazy for that. ;-)

Fabby

Doing AU part time for a year now...

@KGIII good for you!

So how old are you (decade is fine)

KGIII

Well, if I may say so, you're pretty good and appear to be a great asset to the community. 'Tis why I'm using Lubuntu, after all. They've the largest community (Ubuntu family).

Fabby

I need a smoke! BRB!

KGIII

23:30

I'm 58. Well, 57 to be precise but 58 shortly.

Fabby

@KGIII you're using Lubuntu because of me???

KGIII

People like you, yes. So you're included.

Zacharee1

@Fabby what's your "decade?"

Fabby

Ah! You're an older fart then me!

@KGIII ah!

SMOOOKE!

KGIII

I am. LOL I was in the business of traffic modeling and sold my business about eight years ago and retired.

Zacharee1

23:31

@KGIII nice

KGIII

I'm the same KGIII on Slashdot, if you really wanted to spy on me or something. I guess you can just call me David if you really need to know.

Oh, if I have a comment/question and it's just too long and it's an older question - is it okay to phrase it as an answer?

Zacharee1

@KGIII nope

@KGIII pretty strict here

Answers have to be answers

KGIII

Hmm... Okay. Should I delete this: askubuntu.com/questions/611210/…

Zacharee1

That seems like an answer

Not at all like a comment

KGIII

LOL Well, it was more like a stab in the dark that I phrased as an answer but okay.

Zacharee1

23:36

If you have a comment that's too long just split it up

KGIII

That works. Thanks.

I'm sure I'll have a billion and three questions.

Zacharee1

huh

nothing to review

KGIII

You guys are speedy with 'em. By the time I open the spam to report it, it's gone.

But so far, I'm batting 100% with my flags. I use them judiciously.

Zacharee1

It's actually pretty fun to review and flag stuff

brb

KGIII

I don't mind it, I've just never really seen the system quite like this before. So, I err on the side of caution and figure I'll lurk more and see how it works.

Zacharee1

23:42

it does take some getting used to

Fabby

@KGIII upgoated

@KGIII meh, if it's too long as a comment, it's an answer...

Zacharee1

It's pretty much if you have an answer, put it as one and if you have a question or comment, put it as a comment

Fabby

I've got a few like that too!

KGIII

Heh, thanks. Hopefully it's what is needed for the next person as I doubt they'll reply.

Zacharee1

@Fabby back to the other discussion, what is your "decade?" (I get stuck on talking points)

KGIII

23:45

Alright, so if it's akin to that then it's an answer and not a comment but, say, if it's just asking more information then make it a comment? Commenting on the older stuff is considered a good thing and not distracting or the likes?

Zacharee1

@KGIII no, commenting is pretty much always good, but you probably won't get repsonses

KGIII

Alrighty. Thanks again.

Fabby

@Zacharee1 I'm a Vorlon so I'm one of the first ones, so a couple of billion years...

Zacharee1

@Fabby

Fabby

@KGIII Just read your profile... Interesting...

Do you use tox?

KGIII

23:48

No. Assuming that was directed at me.

Should I? :/

Fabby

@KGIII do you use skype and value your privacy?

if the answer is yes and yes, then: YES!

>:-)

KGIII

I do not use Skype. I value my privacy a bit more than that. ;)

I have the page open. I'm checking it out.

Fabby

well, tox is skype, but with privacy, but under heavy development..

lemme look for the correct Q&A

KGIII

At first I thought you were getting ready to suggest some sort of colon cleanse.

Zacharee1

emojicons.com

KGIII

23:51

Us old people and all that...

Zacharee1

@KGIII xD

Fabby

@KGIII :D :D :D No, talking about this

Zacharee1

@Fabby Do you have Tox?

Fabby

@KGIII I'm a scientist by education.... Colon detox is basically eating a kind of filler that makes your poop look weird.

KGIII

I've got a terminal open and am getting it now.

Fabby

23:53

no added value (except to the seller of the "detox"

@Zacharee1 yup...

do you?

KGIII

Oh? What field if you don't mind my asking?

Zacharee1

Just got it

Fabby

@KGIII Chemist...

Zacharee1

@Fabby what's your ID?

KGIII

I always wanted to take organic chem.

Fabby

23:54

(as in how-to-blow-things-up, not the clean-carpets-kinda)

@Zacharee1 lat's wait for KGIII and then I'll post it once...

Zacharee1

k

Fabby

@KGIII I'm a physical chemist: soap, paint, ...

KGIII

I'm going, I'm going... LOL I like to at least look to make sure that I know what I am getting into.

Journeyman Geek

@Fabby: ~~Breaking Bad~~ Making good?

Fabby

(I thought I would have an easier time finding a job then as an organic chemist)

@KGIII take your time!

@JourneymanGeek erm, to me "making good" means "correcting my mistakes"...

so: not really!

:D

KGIII

23:57

The wireless here is evil.

Fabby

@JourneymanGeek please explain what you mean...

Journeyman Geek

@Fabby: Reference to a TV show? ;p

Also Making Good also means "to do well!"

Fabby

Oh, and can everyone here do me a favour and star this wonderful GreaseMonkey script I ran into?

@JourneymanGeek In that case:

Journeyman Geek

I can do one better

Pinned.

Fabby

still haven't landed a signed contract!
