SEJPM

Ella Rose

^.^

SEJPM

(your diamond will probably be handed to you soon(tm))

M'vy

Congratulations @EllaRose @MaartenBodewes

Ella Rose

20:05

hugs all around!

M'vy

;)

Rory Alsop

Congratulations to both of you!

And commiserations @M'vy

M'vy

20:39

Ahah

I take pride in the 3 persons who trusted me.

(and 2.761056 as second choice)

SEJPM

@M'vy is it better than simon's result from the last time where he candidated?

M'vy

Not sure.

Can't remember

And it was on sec.se

IIRC I got outed just after him actually

SEJPM

@M'vy also you did better than all those people who didn't even candidate ;)

M'vy

Exactly.

And to be honest, I had no illusion about this election ;)

I'm glad more experienced crypto users candidated.

Rory Alsop

21:02

Yarr. Me too.

Maarten Bodewes

21:51

Hey, congrats @Ella. I'm sure we'll make a great team with the potatohead. Rory and M'vy, thanks so much for running!

@M'vy That was a bit much competition. Rory would have made a great mod here as well, I'm sure. Rep doesn't count for all that much when it comes to moderation.

M'vy

Thanks @MaartenBodewes

My chances of election were based on being the second and last candidate ;)

Maarten Bodewes

@SEJPM Do you know if CodesInChaos will stay around, I see that his presence is somewhat diminishing, but it could just mean a busy life / work at the moment.

M'vy

I also saw no one posting in the early days, and was a bit worried that not many people would nominate

Maarten Bodewes

Well, I decided rather late. Currently I'm in between jobs, but that may change soon, and new jobs bring long work hours.

M'vy

Oh, I wish you can have both. New job and keep mod-ing here ;)

Maarten Bodewes

21:59

But between Ella (who's probably better at "mathy" questions and is in a good time zone - I think) and me it was going to be tricky.

I'm sure I can, I'll just remove some time from answering instead.

At my first job I didn't have internet at my desk for 16 years, although the later years I could simply bring a tablet and link it up to my phone through bluetooth. That's the tricky thing with security.

Maarten Bodewes

22:11

@SEJPM Diamonds seem to have been handed and I've agreed to the - rather minimal - terms. As supporter of Bits of Freedom I'm of course rather against sharing personal details.

@M'vy that's what made me nominate. I saw the challenge on Bicycles when nobody nominated so I did, and that helped Indore someone else to do it, and they rightly got that role.

M'vy

mhmm

Maarten Bodewes

@RoryAlsop Well, I am fishes, little wonder that I was caught :P

Piscine in EN I suppose.

Rory Alsop

Fish and bicycles... Sounds like a joke in the making

Maarten Bodewes

Oh, no, Pisces :)

@RoryAlsop Trust me, there are plenty people that go and swim with the fishes after a drink or ..2..3..4..5.. Stepping on a bike is ill adviced, we don't have any rails around the canals or anything.

It's a running joke :P

Rory Alsop

I did see various folks in a canal last time I was in Amsterdam

Maarten Bodewes

23:15

@RoryAlsop As long as they are in boats it is considered normal :)

Currently the temperature of the water is too cold to swim, without 5cm neopreen suite anyway.

That would be 5mm

Rory Alsop

5cm would float you rather well :-)

Maarten Bodewes

By the way, you should never jump in the canals even in the summer. Too many bikes in them, you might land on one.
