11:00 PM
I am actually checking out the spanish keyboard on my OS
 
@its_meα Cool!
@its_meα Ubuntu?
 
that's right! How'd you know?
 
@its_meα Hay un cuarto para charlar en espanol tambien (for the new Spanish.se) :)
 
@its_meα You're on Unix.se
 
...hits Google Translate quietly!
@aedia just tell me u know spanish?!
 
user19161
11:04 PM
@Mahnax Boo!
 
@JasperLoy Hii!
 
@JasperLoy hi there!
 
user19161
@Mahnax I wonder what will happen to Ubuntu if Debian closes shop, but that probably won't happen for the next 10 years.
 
@aedia I see that the site's in beta
 
user19161
@its_meα Well I switched to Debian as you can read.
 
11:06 PM
checking out their chat room
"Removal of dependencies on Linux"
yeah, I see that
and "Why I choose Debian"
 
@JasperLoy Hmm, can you be so sure?
 
Does anyone else besides me think Blogger is the most reliable and fastest blogging platform around?
 
My Spanish isn't great. I used to be fine at conversational Spanish back in high school, but I'm very rusty.
 
user19161
@Mahnax Hence probably, and it's only 10, not 50.
 
11:08 PM
@JasperLoy True.
 
@aediaλ oh! How about pronunciation?
 
user19161
@its_meα Whoa you keep quoting me! Please be careful not to quote the more sensitive material OK?
 
@JasperLoy Actually, I am sure many would switch to Debian once it supports Gnome 3, lol!
right, sir
 
@JasperLoy How was your day?
 
@its_meα My mom studied Spanish, and when I was a kid she read some bilingual books, etc. with me, so I never had trouble learning the sounds that are different from English, but I'm sure I don't sound anything like a native speaker.
 
user19161
11:11 PM
@Mahnax Same which means bad. I am trying to answer truthfully. I hope things will be different in a year as written.
 
@JasperLoy Well, what did you do today? Let's hear about it.
 
@aediaλ hmm!
 
user19161
@Mahnax Well, mostly online doing various things, and thinking about things. Actually that's what happens everyday now. The difference is in the details.
 
@JasperLoy Do you ever go eat out with friends, go to a movie, etc. (various forms of entertainment)?
 
user19161
Oh my eleventh post is up but it's not relevant to you @mahnax.
 
11:13 PM
@JasperLoy I shall read it anyways.
 
user19161
@Mahnax Yes I do. I go out with some friends or myself now and then. I usually spend Friday nights outside at my favourite shopping centre until dawn and take the first train or bus home.
 
@JasperLoy Just window shopping?
 
user19161
@Mahnax Mostly. This shopping centre is huge. It takes two hours to walk around slowly. And then I walk along the pubs, the river, etc in town and see the lights, the Xmas trees, etc.
 
@JasperLoy It sounds nice.
 
user19161
@Mahnax I have been walking around myself my whole life. This has got nothing to do with my problems though. It's nice to walk around and see things and think about life.
 
11:16 PM
@JasperLoy It is. I would do it more, but it's so very cold here.
 
user19161
@Mahnax Yeah worse than US since it's further up north. Well, it's too hot here.
 
@JasperLoy Yup. It's very cold in some American places too, but mostly just the northern ones.
 
user19161
@Mahnax So what will you write about in your next post? Mariah?
 
@JasperLoy Maybe.
 
user19161
@Mahnax Good good. But it's up to you. I heard you were released early today.
 
11:20 PM
@JasperLoy Yes, the warden was having a meeting with the guards.
 
user19161
@Mahnax Huh, not teachers?
 
I'm done my array project now, hurrah!
 
user19161
@Mahnax Huh?
 
@JasperLoy A CompSci project.
@JasperLoy Metaphorical; guards are teachers, principal is warden.
 
user19161
@Mahnax Yeah I had a feeling 'twas so.
 
11:22 PM
@JasperLoy It is.
 
user19161
@Mahnax Good good.
 
user19161
Surprisingly Daniel came in today and actually said some things!
 
@JasperLoy Whaaat?
How? Where? Gah.. I'm exhausted. snooze
 
user19161
@Mahnax I mean he seldom chats nowadays.
 
user19161
@Mahnax Then go take a nap in bed.
 
11:24 PM
@JasperLoy snores, mumbles "I know"
@JasperLoy I am on my MBP in bed. I also am entirely unable to fall asleep before 11 PM, ever..
 
user19161
@Mahnax Good good. It's good to have a regular sleep cycle.
 
@JasperLoy Indeed.
Asleep at 11:30ish, wake at 7.
D: I'm not getting 8 hours!
 
user19161
@Mahnax @itsme is very quiet.
 
@JasperLoy I noticed. Maybe he is sleeping.
@itsme Ping ping!
 
user19161
@Mahnax 7 is fine too.
 
user19161
11:26 PM
@Mahnax @cerb likes to say ding instead of ping ping!
 
@JasperLoy I was joking. I have the odd ability to function properly on about (minimum) 3.5 hours of sleep.
 
user19161
You are all nuts, hahaha!
 
@JasperLoy and @Mahnax : No, I was in the Spanish chat room

 La tertulia

General discussion for spanish.stackexchange.com
 
@its_meα Ah well.
 
user19161
@its_meα I will give you a Spanish song.
 
11:27 PM
@JasperLoy Feliz Navidad.
 
I told ya, I get too excited about stuff I want to learn even before starting to learn 'em
 
user19161
 
user19161
Granada.
 
look at this comment: "I don't understand how some people cannot appreciate REAL talent. Instead, they appreciate mediocre artists such as Rebecca Black, Britney Spears, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga."
 
user19161
@its_meα Well, there are different styles of music and singing. But he's just expressing his opinion too.
 
11:30 PM
okay, that song really is... atm ...idk
 
@its_meα Stupid comment. People can like whatever they want.
 
user19161
@its_meα I actually used to sing Italian opera.
 
Italian, perhaps.
@JasperLoy Awesome!
 
yeah, and besides how can he say they are not talented?
 
user19161
@Mahnax I am baritone though, not tenor.
 
11:30 PM
They are talented, like it or not.
 
@Mahnax right
 
@JasperLoy You told me once.
 
@JasperLoy Ahh!
 
user19161
@Mahnax I think you told me likewise.
 
@JasperLoy I did.
 
11:32 PM
@JasperLoy you suggested that I look at "Teach Yourself" for languages right? or was it somebody else?
 
user19161
@its_meα It was me. The post is still there.
 
user19161
Of course you need to get it first from somewhere but it's not too expensive.
 
user19161
Unless of course you have to pay for the shipment as well.
 
And I found THIS and THIS. Take a look.
 
user19161
@kit You returned!
 
user19161
11:34 PM
@its_meα The Complete XXX series is the most complete course. The others are for casual purposes. Choose what is most suitable for you.
 
user19161
You can read the descriptions yourself and see.
 
I chose both. 'coz one's for the language and grammar, while the other focuses on speaking skills
 
user19161
@its_meα No I think Complete is enough. The rest will be a proper subset of Complete plus a little bit extra stuff. Don't waste your money unless you've got plenty to burn.
 
oh! The thinking is, Amazon offers free shipping for orders $25 and above. So instead of paying those shipping charges, I could get another book.
@JasperLoy Anyway, your point is strong
@Mahnax did you ever download pirated stuff online?
 
@its_meα Nah. I do occasionally download music in a not-so-costly way though, but that's self pirating.
It has not been pirated until I download it, is what I'm saying.
 
11:39 PM
self pirating? what's that?!
oh
 
@its_meα I mean that I just rip mp3 files from YouTube vids to get songs.
 
I didn't get you.
lol! right!
hehe!
I sometimes day dream... what if everything was free! No one pays. And everyone has everything.
 
@its_meα Why did you want to know?
 
I am from RIAA, and I have been tracking you down!
And I work for MPAA too, and I see that you often download some movies too.
bad boy!
 
@its_meα Lies and slander. I have never downloaded a movie illegally.
 
11:43 PM
oh! that's good. That's our old way of interrogating people anyway
 
@its_meα I don't think you actually work for them, sorry.
 
I admit
 
No animated GIFs in this chat.
 
why? is it against the rules?
 
@its_meα Haha no.
 
11:45 PM
oh, because it's distracting?
Jasper left all of a sudden
 
@its_meα It's a joke.
@its_meα He does that from time to time. He's having breakfast, no doubt.
 
@Mahnax Ahha! So I spoiled it.
@Mahnax hmm
 
@its_meα A little, but that's okay.
 
:)
