@GraceNote GRACE NOTE

@OrigamiRobot ORIGAMI ROBOT

Quite.

You're welcome

@AshleyNunn Hm. I didn't know your middle name. Normally that kind of declarative shout makes people whimper.

@GraceNote I don't think your inflection came across as well as you'd hoped.

@GraceNote When in doubt "J." probably works.

user15026

8:04 PM

@GraceNote grins Text yelling never works on me

ASHLEY J. NUNN GET YOUR BUNS OVER HERE

@GraceNote It would take much more than someone shouting my name in order to make me whimper.

@AshleyNunn Duly noted. I'll talk with balpha about single-user-ping-sound replacement to use your name.

If someone managed to figure out my middle name, I'd go, "Are you stalking me?"

@fbueckert Is it Lewis?

8:06 PM

@Wipqozn Nope.

@fbueckert Ronald?

@Wipqozn Nope.

@fbueckert Patrick?

@Wipqozn Sets up autoscript to reply Nope to everything @Wipqozn says

@fbueckert Just borrow the one @OrigamiRobot uses.

8:08 PM

@Wipqozn That's in reply to a certain string.

I'd have to reply to only a certain user.

@fbueckert ah, right. Silly me.

@fbueckert Is it tortoise?

@Ullallulloo turtle*

@OrigamiRobot If you're uncool, say turtle* tortoise

@Wipqozn turtle*

8:09 PM

Anyways, lunch time!

Much good food awaits!

user15026

@GraceNote Why are we yelling at me anyhow?

I don't like morning people. Or mornings. Or people.

@fbueckert Did you win a gold medal in IT Software Applications?

Whatever that means.

Take the sample question: it is objectively and constructively answered, without the pitfalls of shopping recommendation, by saying that when you have games such as Counter Strike you might want to use the ingame demo recording tool because you get (for example) to render it at a later time at full quality while taking a minimal toll on the system resources; in all other cases you have to record the game as you play it, and you either use screen recording software such as Fraps or you can try doing fancy hardware things with your video outputs. — badp 25 secs ago

Ux Job Title Generator

> Need to update your resume? Want it to sound extra awesome? The UX Job Title Generator is a fun and funny way to create titles for all those UX jobs you've had that are a little more interesting than "UX Expert" or "UX Designer".

@AshleyNunn You were the last person to talk and I felt like declaratively naming someone.

user15026

@GraceNote ....alright then

Swissted

user15026

Well, in the future, I tend to assume that people text-yelling my name means, well, that they actually want my attention for a specific reason.

Now we begin the first daily two minutes of ~~hate~~ gratutious ASHLEY NUNN text screaming.

@ASHLEYNUNN.

user15026

8:15 PM

@GnomeSlice I think I am missing the draw of these. They are all annoyingly similar. Perhaps that is the point, but I find it boring.

hey hey @ASHLEYNUNN

user15026

@badp Seriously? This is a thing we decided to do now?

@AshleyNunn I doubt anybody is going to follow suit, don't worry

@badp I'll set up my script.

@AshleyNunn Apparently so, @ASHLEYNUNN.

8:16 PM

@ASHLEYNUNN aren't you happy

user15026

Then I will make my exit until the screaming stops, as it is annoying and unappreciated.

@AshleyNunn Swiss Modernism for you.

Oh. Oh! My tablet is getting Jellybean!

aww

It's got a firmware update and apparently it's the next version of Android!

grats

Hopefully it's 4.1.something

8:18 PM

Although all of these google results are from either a few months ago or a week or two ago

4.0.something doesn't support landscape home screens afk

@badp Whatever I had definitely did, because it's a transformer tablet.

i.e. landscape is the orientation when you have the keyboard attached.

I thought Android 4 was Ice Cream Sandwich?

Well it still LOOKS the same.

Oh, maybe it was just asus firmware

> Successfully updated the system to JRO03C

@GnomeSlice No, that's an android update

@SaintWacko Cool. Let me check my 'about'.

@GnomeSlice 4.1.1

8:21 PM

Neat.

Yep, 4.1.1.

Cool. Anything new?

user15026

@GnomeSlice That's pretty awesome. I like the Google Now stuff, but that might have been late ICS, not JB

user15026

I have no idea anymore XD

@GnomeSlice What were you on before?

@AshleyNunn Now was JB

I love Google Now

@AshleyNunn What and what?

@SaintWacko I dunno, 4 I think. Ice Cream Sandwich.

user15026

@GnomeSlice IceCreamSandwich, JellyBean

8:22 PM

@GnomeSlice Swipe up from the onscreen home button

@fbueckert WTF Chris Jericho went to your school?

user15026

@SaintWacko It is awesome, especially for buses. So helpful.

My notifications look a little different

@SaintWacko Oh, huh

@GnomeSlice Some of them you can pinch in or out to display more or less informatioin

@SaintWacko Whatever this is, it's only available in portrait view.

8:23 PM

@SaintWacko It's really great.

@GnomeSlice If you turn it on, it'll learn about you and give you useful information

The hell, my google search goes to this Google Now! thing which defaults to portrait...

user15026

@SaintWacko It tells me about when buses to school/home are, which for me is super useful. :D

Like when I'm leaving for work in the morning, it'll pop out a low-priority notification that tells me what the traffic is like, and how long it's projected to take me to get there

@GnomeSlice Do the setup, then it can swap to landscape.

8:24 PM

@AshleyNunn I don't use buses, but the traffic information is useful :D

user15026

@SaintWacko I don't drive, so I like the bus stuff.

user15026

Especially the popups when I am standing near a stop. Those are cool.

buses doesn't look right

@AshleyNunn Ooh, that would be nice

user15026

@SaintWacko I also have it set up to tell me stuff about the local junior A hockey team. :)

@AshleyNunn Mine was telling me about sports teams for a while, then it finally figured out I didn't care and stopped :P

8:26 PM

@IcySlurpee ...Nope.

Wait, there it goes.

user15026

@SaintWacko Mine knows I like that team, because I kept searching for their resutls

Aww, my Deep Elf Summoner of Kikubuqaadgha died :(

@AshleyNunn I love how if you search for a location in google maps, it'll tell you how long it'll take to get there in Now

user15026

@SaintWacko I love that too. It is generally a very cool little thing.

@AshleyNunn No transit information anywhere nearby :(

user15026

@badp :(

8:28 PM

@AshleyNunn :(

Actually it's got just enough transit information to make super retarded suggestions

user15026

@badp That's always fun

user15026

Like the day mine told me to walk along the highway to get home...

@AshleyNunn Haha

user15026

@SaintWacko I chose not to take that option, funnily enough.

8:30 PM

user image

@AshleyNunn There's 40 minutes long direct hourly connections, but obviously Google doesn't know about that. So let's just take a small detour through Switzerland!

user15026

@badp Just by looking at the map, I assume there are more direct routes?

user15026

@badp Hey, what do you have against Switzerland? :P

@AshleyNunn It's far! :(

user15026

@badp Fair enough, 3 and a half hours is a long time!

@AshleyNunn Their modern art is boring and repetitive! ;)

user15026

8:32 PM

@GnomeSlice Ah, see, now you have a point ;)

user15026

@GnomeSlice I played a neat little short game on Kongregate today that you might appreciate, liking music and all - kongregate.com/games/logosogol/take-a-walk

@AshleyNunn I really enjoyed that game.

When I played it like 2 or 3 years ago.

:P

Unless it's a web game released within the last year and a bit, I've probably played it.

user15026

@GnomeSlice WELL FINE THEN XD

user15026

I just noticed it today because of the achievement

I just got a badge for it too, for completing it.

@AshleyNunn I used to be really big into Kong achievements.

Haven't been as much since I had to make a new account since someone stole/hacked/took over my old one.

user15026

8:36 PM

@GnomeSlice I poke at them periodically.

I hate my name, I need to change it.

user15026

@GnomeSlice Wow, that really sucks :(

xGnomeSlicex

@AshleyNunn Nothing they can do about it either.

user15026

@GnomeSlice There are worse names!

@AshleyNunn I hate the x's

user15026

8:37 PM

@GnomeSlice I can understand thatr

user15026

Hm... poking at my WIND account - there is an option to get an unlock code. What would that do for/to my phone?

Bored now. Entertain me!

@AshleyNunn So, finish 999 yet?

user image

user15026

@Powerlord Nope. Been reading and doing class stuff inbetween coughing my lungs out

@BADP So, how are things?

8:44 PM

Q: Do Master Career Rewards stay after leaving the career track?

If I switch careers will I lose the "Special Ability"? For instance Professional Sports allows you to do Autograph Signings. If I become an Astronaut do I lose the ability? Another side question, I've heard that as a DNA specialist you get a cool laptop. If I leave the career track do they rep...

@Powerlord Exams coming next few weeks

Had the first today, too.

:O

Actually if I count the December ones it's the third

@Powerlord So, how's the mod making going? Finished that polling project?

@badp Polling project? You mean the vote API thingy?

@Powerlord Yeh

8:54 PM

Sadly, no. Got sidetracked.

I saw some people praise it on /r/tf2

Well, the old one still kinda works.

user15026

or, well, praise the RUGC Midwest system

user15026

Oh, Microsoft. You almost had me.

8:55 PM

@OrigamiRobot You ARE stalking me.

Even if I wanted to, yesterday's change to CS:GO would have broken it on CS:GO and made me do a bunch of work to fix it.

@fbueckert You won a gold medal at least twice.

What is that about?

But hey, I wrote a quick little SourceMod Menu Generator in C#!

@OrigamiRobot Mostly free trips to somewhere else in Canada. No big deal.

@fbueckert I mean what was the contest?

Some kind of college olympics?

8:56 PM

@OrigamiRobot Search for the title here in the Bridge. I've mentioned it before.

Too lazy

@OrigamiRobot Most Fun-Hating

Oh, wait, that's @badp

\o/

@AshleyNunn From that image I thought the wheel was going to rotate and swap the heads clockwise

_o/

\o_

@OrigamiRobot Skills Canada, the simplest way I can put it, was the olympics for nerds.

user15026

8:58 PM

@badp You don't know Hungry Hungry Hippos?

@SaintWacko Exercise is good for you. Keep at it

IT Office Software Applications, the area I competed in, was just using MS Office.

user15026

@fbueckert Oooh, now I am curious what categories you won in. I know someone who did really well at bricklaying. Got to go to Nationals a couple of times. Me, I was too busy playing Cross Country Canada to get into it.

\o/

@AshleyNunn I was born in 1989, which is just barely outside the 90s :P

8:58 PM

@fbueckert I wonder if there is any relation to SkillsUSA

user15026

@fbueckert Man, if I only knew about those sorts of categories! My school only participated in like trade stuff

Apparently, I'm really good at it; I beat out a dedicated Nova Scotia college that does nothing but teach those skills. Twice.

@OrigamiRobot Indeed; every other year they hold the world competition. I was just over the age limit when I won the second time (which was a world year).

The only thing I could really relate to with are the 56k modem and maybe floppies

Hm

8:59 PM

@fbueckert I wondered. The things I read didn't list who you beat, but they did for other categories.
