I'm here, for a little while at least.

I guess it might add some comedy
Erik the Outgolfer
7:46 PM

Advertisement posted in TNB, if that helps :/
John Dvorak
I suppose Lens is still in its perpetually confused state?
Erik the Outgolfer
well yeah won't fix via disuse :P
John Dvorak
Then we need to fix the disuse
Gareth McCaughan
@GentlePurpleRain Go ahead, start her up. We'll see what happens...
Erik the Outgolfer
7:48 PM
I suppose that we can fire it up and let it whine constantly while we're playing like we know ignoring it completely... :D
GentlePurpleRain
I think it's at the point where it needs a complete rewrite.
It still provides some benefit, though, with keeping track of contacts and such.
And starring/unstarring clues.
Who is defending?
Erik the Outgolfer
what it needs is a value of a long presence... they call it experience... ;)
caird coinheringaahing
Anyone want to defend?
GentlePurpleRain
Ok.
Defending:
P
Lens

GentlePurpleRain
Ok, apparently I don't know my math and/or Greek well enough.
