Haha Google Opinion Rewards just gave me a new survey and the sole question was "How often do you listen to podcasts?"

Pieter DePree

@Oded, do they have video for that yet?

Q: Allowing subscription to all scheduled events for a chat room

I'd like to be able to subscribe to notifications of all scheduled events for a chat room. For example, I'd like notification of all events in the SE Podcast Live Chat room without needed to re-register each week or each time it's rescheduled. Listing such users are "registered" would be mislead...

It would be nice to get notifications of upcoming podcast streamings through something like this.

Jon Ericson

8:40 PM

Remotes had to drink alone. :-(

Jon Chan

@abbyhairboat what nobody knows is that my treadmill powers our servers

cashenhu

Because I have spent WAY too many friday nights at the office.

Laura

@hichris123 well, he was looking at this chat room when I typed that.

SomeKittens

"I'll be drinking alone in my office" So just like every other day?

Oded

@cashenhu ha! Though some more interaction with people in the offices (not at their computer) it would be great.

Ana

8:41 PM

I do even less work than usual on Friday afternoons and bev bashes are a great way to deflect responsibility.

hichris123

@Laura Well, yeah... looks like internal chat to my untrained eye now though.

Remote work question: What's SE at in terms of % remote engineers?

Arie Litovsky

Cats get all the work done, really

Zirak

Conspicuous Compiler

Oded

@SomeKittens We are all about efficiency
