12:59 AM
@AviD Beerpop?
@AviD Ah, I just read through the transcript. I use the word soda.
That does put me in the minority, though. Where I come from they call all soft drinks "Coke".
This is relevant, by the way.
Funnily enough, according to that map I come from a strongly pop area. My mom comes from strong coke country. That must be the difference.
Also. Boddingtons. Yummo. That there's a nice soothing drink.
I also really dig cider.

6:39 AM
@ScottPack Ha! I was right!
@ScottPack that is... I'm not sure what it is.
I didn't realize anybody called all soft drinks "Coke", thought it was just cola flavored ones.
Curious what the "other" options are. Probably includes "Sody-pop".
 
6:58 AM
@AviD That's what she said!
Man it's dead in here this couple of days.
 
@TerryChia probably the hangovers.
 
@AviD Oh right. St Patricks Day.
 
@TerryChia oh that too, I meant Wednesday.
 
@AviD hahaha good one.
 
@ScottPack I tried finding a clip of that bit in Friends when they're excited about Boddingtons. I wasnt able to find it.
 
7:01 AM
Don't you think that TLS-SRP question should be on SU instead? It reads more like a "How to setup" question to me.
 
@TerryChia didnt get in depth - I edited, and it disappeared from the queueueueueue.
@TerryChia yeah, pushed it over.

morning
 
@LucasKauffman Morning
 
mornin' all
bout to leave for my first day ;)
wish me luck :P
 
@Polynomial Good luck!
 
.o/~
 
@Polynomial Good Luck :o)
 
8:39 AM
@Polynomial Break a leg!
 
8:55 AM
@Polynomial Good morning & God Speed!
Darn it, which one is correct? God Speed? or Godspeed? Even the Internet isn't clear on that :)
 
@TildalWave I like God speeds.
He probably doesn't get tickets though.
 
@TerryChia what? at the speed of light?
i don't think there's any radar that bills could use to measure such speed hehe
@LucasKauffman hmmm wait... isn't "break a leg" for performing artists?
 
@TildalWave I thought it was just for good luck
 
wiki comes to the rescue :)
"Break a leg" is a well-known idiom in theatre which means "good luck." It is typically said to actors and musicians before they go on stage to perform. The origin of the phrase is obscure. The expression reflects a theatrical superstition in which wishing a person "good luck" is considered bad luck. The expression is sometimes used outside the theatre as superstitions and customs travel through other professions and then into common use. Among professional dancers, the traditional saying is not "break a leg," but "merde". Origins The earliest known example in print is from the October 1...
yeah actors and superstitions lol... "The Scottish Play" ppfffff
 
9:24 AM
@TildalWave aren`t we all just performing artists... No wait I'm confusing that with performing monkey... nevermind
 
@ColinCassidy you're being a bit harsh on yourself today, what you don't like mondays? hangover from last night? :) :P
 
9:50 AM
@Polynomial have a good one!
 
10:27 AM
@RoryAlsop BTW Mr A is today your first day too?
 
hiya
 
Morning @M'vy
 
@M'vy evening. :)
 
11:19 AM
see that q on passwords in memory is up the top of hacker news... news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5393019
that'll drive some traffic I'd guess

1:17 PM
@AviD As you can see from the graph, it's largely a Southern thing, I don't really get it either.
@AviD I find the cluster of 'soda' around St. Louis very interesting.
 
@RoryMcCune Your answer mostly repeated everything I said :P That ruby script does look useful though.
Also.
 
@TerryChia well yeah I was hoping to elicit some more detail from him on exactly how he's scanning with that second point :) the scripts one I wrote for kind of this purpose,
@ScottPack (potentially) interestingly, in Scotland a lot of people call all soft drinks "ginger"
as in "gee us a tan o'yer ginger big man"
 
@RoryMcCune How do you disambiguate from redheads?
 
@ScottPack ah well soft drinks the word sounds like ginger (the root) whereas the word for redheads is pronounced slightly differently (I can't think of a decent analogy at the moment)
 
I hate User Experience (the subject itself, not the SE site), I hate UI Designing, I hate the users themselves.
They're a bunch of twats who were using paper a couple of years ago and now they complain that it takes half a second to load the client list. Well boo fucking hoo!
2
 
1:23 PM
@Adnan Yeah, I don't understand why people don't just use a collection of CLI tools strung together in a haphazard fashion using pipes. /sarcasm
 
@RoryMcCune So you pronounce the word "ginger" differently depending on the target of description?
 
@ScottPack indeed
 
@RoryMcCune No wonder you people don't sound like you speak English.
 
@ScottPack The chinese langauge and it's various dialects are the same.

hi
 
@HM Welcome :)
 
@RoryMcCune Damn, that question has an obscene amount of views now.
 
@TerryChia News.YC gets quite a bit of traffic...
 
@TerryChia I know. I've got about 110 rep off my answer there today alone.
 
@AntonyVennard I remember giving The Bear's answer the 100th upvote a few days ago. It's at 167 now.
 
3:19 PM
@TerryChia Yeah. It's a bit mad.

A: How would one crack a weak but unknown encryption protocol?

Terry ChiaThere are several ways. The first, and most obvious is that the attackers compromised your server to the extent where they managed to obtain your source code. In that particular case, your homegrown scheme is worse than nothing. The second way is that the attacker might be able to submit his ow...

 
It always amazes me that the answers I believe are just "meh" are in fact some of my highest upvoted.
 
Ah it's been a while since I used a small bit of snark in my answers.
@AntonyVennard Same here.
I think the only person here that has excellent answers as their most voted is The Bear.
 
20k views? Fuck me that's a lot.
 
@TerryChia I smell a reptrain. Answered quickish ;)
 
3:31 PM
@AntonyVennard Heh. repslut. ;)
 
@TerryChia Brb, posting it on hackernews.
(Not really).
@TerryChia Also, I'm entitled to be as I'm nearly at 10k, finally.
 
@RoryMcCune Always protect any question that hits ycombinator or reddit.
 
@AviD can I do that or is it mods only?
 
15ks can.
 
@RoryMcCune I think its 10K and above.
 
3:38 PM
@RoryMcCune 15k
damn ninja-ed
 
ulp, they be right, its 15k, not 10. security.stackexchange.com/privileges/protect-questions
 
so need another 3k or so, well if you kind gents could just have a wander through and upvote all my stuff that'd be great :op
 
flagging it does help... or at least pinging a mod for it here.
 
@AviD coolio yeah I was thinking that when you said it, should've pinged..
 
@RoryMcCune heh, just be careful not to set off the sock detection... arggh @RoryAlsop ;-)
 
3:41 PM
@AviD yeah if I did that one of these would likely be after me
 
@AntonyVennard that's because you judge on quality, and upvotes judge popularity. You went to high school, you should know the difference.
 
@TerryChia, nice answer. But actually they're called cryptanalysts
 
@RoryMcCune Why is that British man eating a sock?
 
@ScottPack good snark
 
danke
 
3:48 PM
Sorry, completely useless answer. — Ram Rachum 20 secs ago
Whaaaat?
 
@TerryChia, I hope I don't get suspended.
 
> Everybody, please don't try to convince me of how hard it is to keep an algorithm secret. Please answer this question on the assumption that the algorithm is kept completely secret, despite of how difficult that is to achieve in real life.
I don't even......
Incredibly rude....
@Adnan Terry's answer has 3 parts. The first is out of the scope of this question, because I've asked about an algorithm that is unknown. The second part is the one closest to being useful, but still not helpful because the attacker, in my scenario, has no access to the algorithm so he can't do a CPA. And the third part of Terry's answer is laughably information-free. It's so ridiculous that I'm afraid to describe how ridiculous it is because coming up with a description that does justice to how much of a non-answer it is would be quite difficult. — Ram Rachum 1 min ago
Hahaha, love @ScottPack's comment.
 
You're welcome.
So. I try to run a command on my desktop.
> /usr/bin/env: ruby: No such file or directory
Turns out I haven't installed ruby yet.
 
that would do it
 
I feel very happy about the fact that I've made it this far without installing ruby.
 
4:00 PM
other cause I usually see is script written in windows if you try to run in linux with dos2unix'ing it first
 
I'm sorry, sir. Your script appears to be broken. It's all full up on ^M.
 
That guy is really rude. I'm guessing it's a side effect of hanging out on SO.
 
@TerryChia, M.SO to be exact.
 
@Adnan The SO guys can be pretty rude as well. I like using SO as a resource to search for information, but I dislike asking questions there.
 
@TerryChia, I'm writing an answer now to the same question. Let's see.
 
4:09 PM
@Adnan Go crazy with it. I can't be assed to even look at his scheme.
This is a pretty good article that explains basic networking concepts to a layman. arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/03/…
Damn, the Haswell previews are looking really good.
 
Scott: usually, the chicken occupies a point mass, because air resistance is really complicated with all those feathers and uh, yeah. @Ram ok, I've updated the answer to give some general pointers on where you'd start with some random data and what constitutes a risk to the random data. Disclaimer: if you rely on that information, you do so at your own risk. — Antony Vennard 36 secs ago
Bets he doesn't reverse his downvote?
 
Now that I think about it, given his requirements. Shouldn't the question be sent over to crypto? Although they would probably close it....
@AviD What do you think?
 
I think we should unleash the bear on him.
 
@AntonyVennard That would be fun to see. It's nice of you to add more information to your answer. I couldn't be bothered due to the way he commented.
 
4:26 PM
@AntonyVennard He did reverse his downvole!
 
@AntonyVennard !!!!!
@AntonyVennard Just when I wanted to post my answer, I look up a bit, and here you are with you magnificent edit.
 
@Xander Yay! I take back any intended snark :)
@Adnan Sozzle.
 
afternoon all
 
Afternoon
@AntonyVennard I guess I'll post it anyway.
 
@Adnan I would.
 
4:32 PM
@RoryAlsop watcha'
 
@AntonyVennard Feast your eyes!
 
Ugh, trying to convince myself to throw a hundred bucks at a VMWare Workstation license... VirtualBox is really pissing me off.
 
@TerryChia Share your problem
 
@RoryMcCune next Monday. This is my last week of unemployed-ness...but sadly EE have bollixed up my data plan so I havenot been able to play Ingress since Friday. Gahhhh
 
@TerryChia it's pricey but (IME) useful. I've had a license since v2 probably one of my first "work" app purchases...
 
4:35 PM
@Adnan USB passthrough support is really flaky.
 
@RoryAlsop ouch! BTW have you had any portal submissions accepted yet...
 
One version it doesn't work, next version fixes it, problem comes back on another update.
 
BTW all I see weev got 3.5 years for brute-force guessing of URLs huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/18/…
 
Plus why the hell do they distribute their updates through a full installer?
 
@TerryChia Have you tried it first? Does it fix your problems?
 
4:37 PM
@TerryChia ahh I'll warn you now, vmware workstation does that too...
 
@RoryMcCune not yet
 
@RoryMcCune That's really annoying imo. :(
 
@RoryMcCune - though Weev officially didn't hack through any security systems
 
@RoryAlsop indeed just URL guessing
 
@Adnan Not tested yet, but I read that VMWare support for usb is much much better.
Plus Workstation has several other useful features.
 
4:38 PM
@TerryChia Well then, download it and try it. If you really like it, pay for it.
 
@RoryAlsop horrible that that level of "offense" counts as a criminal act with a potential 10 year sentence and At&t's actions aren't even illegal!
 
@TerryChia That's the reason I originally sprung for a VMWare Workstation license - The USB support. It been really worthwhile for me, and USB aside, I find it generally nice to work with.
 
That and not having to convert vmware appliances to VB
Oh, and automatic interface bridging based on which interface is actually up. I always got annoyed having to run my VB machines in NAT mode on the laptop.
 
4:55 PM
The thing is, we use VMWare Workstation at work, but it's just because of a weird policy that encourages commercial applications. I honestly don't see that the price difference (about 200 euros) worth the few features you get on top of VritualBox
 
this is amusing (but given todays example of weev I hope for the authors sake he doesn't get caught) reddit.com/r/netsec/comments/1ainkd/… guy finds insecure devices on the Internet, makes them into a botnet to scan the internet
 
@RoryMcCune "This project has been temporarily blocked for exceeding its bandwidth threshold"
Nice.
 
@Adnan the reddit thread has some mirrors I think
 
420K clients :O
 
the torrent with the data sounds insane 1TB+ of data compressed, several TB uncompressed...
 
5:07 PM
@Adnan It's certainly a hard pill to swallow. I, however, have wasted untold hours attempting to convert VMX/VMDK images to something VirtualBox can use.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
 
@RoryMcCune Wow! Really amazing work!!
The analysis, the images, the graphs.. wow. I'm so impressed
 
@AntonyVennard Two Points: 1) That comment was intended to be snarktastic for the purposes of demonstrating that his assumptions exist outside the realm of reality. 2) The colloquial language tends towards "perfectly spherical (cow|chicken)" using whichever is funnier. The people at which the joke is aimed won't understand what a "point mass" is.
Although, now that I look that term up on the Wikipedia it is not complicated, just not well known.
 
@ScottPack I laughed :-)
 
I would expect nothing less from you.

security.stackexchange.com/questions/32784/anonymized-votes <-- apparently secure e-voting becomes a lot easier if you have a pre-chosen key for each user unless I'm missing something
 
5:56 PM
I suppose my proposed solution is vulnerable to a timing attack though
 
@RoryMcCune - Matt Parker has started his new job today - at Grant Thornton
 
@RoryAlsop coolio more people on the move!
 
6:17 PM
@TerryChia, have you seen his last edit?
It appears he's just trying to prove that a home-brewed algorithm is uncrackable because a bunch of guys on IT Security weren't able able to do it with their normal computers.
 
@ScottPack I laughed too, don't worry. I just felt like joining in. Hence the comment about feathers.
 
Does he know how real world attacks on cryptography schemes work?!
 
@AntonyVennard Silly boy.
 
@AntonyVennard, wanna laugh more? Check your last answer's question after the edit.
 
@Adnan Oh no :(
Seems like password managers are new password questions:

Q: Where to draw the line with password managers?

J GuvarI have just started using a password manager and was wondering what is the best practice regarding where to draw the line regarding what is stored in the software. Ideally I could store Windows/Unix user password, sudo passwords for remote servers, passwords for SSH keys, email account passwords...

 
6:29 PM
Oh cool. Google now integrates Bacon number searches.
 
@ScottPack Say wha?
 
@Iszi Go google, "bacon number jack nicholson"
 
Another one... security.stackexchange.com/questions/32781/… (already closed).
Funnily enough, I am currently writing a password manager.
 
@ScottPack Hrm. Looks like the only thing The Oracle of Bacon has on Google now is that you can do separation numbers for other actors too. (e.g.: What's Tommy Lee Jones' Will Smith number?)
 
@ScottPack God damn it, Scott!!
 
6:35 PM
@Iszi The Oracle also discusses how Connery is a better center than Bacon.
 
Now all I'm doing is trying to get a bacon number higher than 2!!
 
@Adnan Hard to do, unless you count the "infinities".
 
Terrence Malick
 
Holy crap.
Who'd've thought?
 
So is Shirley Temple
 
6:40 PM
Marat Safin
 
@ScottPack Who?
 
Gimme someone I've actually heard of whose Bacon Number is >3 and !=infinity.
 
@Iszi Not according to this, it seems that there are more people with 3 than 2
 
@Adnan Sure. But you try thinking of a name.
 
6:41 PM
William Rufus Shafter is 7
 
@Iszi Can't think of any
 
Anyone else find it mildly annoying the links in Bacon Number searches point to Google searches and not just directly to IMDB?
 
albeit I have no idea who that is
 
@Iszi Jamie Bamber
 
@ScottPack Sorry (and you may flog me for this) I never watched BSG.
Though, now that you've got me thinking in that direction...
 
6:44 PM
rudolf nureyev is a 3
 
Wow. And she didn't even need a Star Trek link...
 
you've probably heard of him
 
@RoryMcCune Can't say I have.
 
@Iszi really famous russian ballet dude
 
@RoryMcCune Russian... Ballet... Dude. I'm a 30-year-old American. Really, you think I've heard of him?
 
6:46 PM
@Iszi well he is reasonably famous
 
@RoryMcCune Perhaps to those who would be paying attention to Russian Ballet.
 
I've heard of ballet.
 
@RoryMcCune Which makes me wonder, why is it he's so much in the forefront of your mind, anyway?
 
@Iszi no no I've never watched ballet in my life, but he's still famous enough to be heard of
I was thinking of people who might have high bacon numbres
so people who've appeared in films but arent' mainstream actors
 
I'm so very happy my last name isn't "Shafter". That's pretty terrible.
 
6:50 PM
@ScottPack Sorry. Worst one I've come across is still Dickshit.
 
@Iszi I've come across worse, PHP's implementation of Object-Oriented.
I literally have a tear in my left right eye.
 
Holy crap... not only does Pat Morita have a Bacon Number of 2, but Mr. Miyagi actually had a first name?!
also known as Mr. Miyagi, or referred to as "宮城成義" in kanji in The Karate Kid, Part II, is a fictional karate master, played by the late Japanese-American actor Pat Morita, who mentors the characters Daniel LaRusso and Julie Pierce in the Karate Kid films. Morita earned an Academy Award nomination for his performance in the first film. Robert Mark Kamen stated that Mr. Miyagi was named after Chōjun Miyagi, the founder of Goju Ryu Karate-Do. Fictional biography Early life An Okinawan Japanese immigrant to the United States, Keisuke Miyagi learned karate originally from his father, who h...
And... really weird choice of a picture there, OneBox. Picked the one that actually isn't Mr. Miyagi!
 
What's funny, is that the results aren't even for the same Troy Hurtubise I was searching on.
 
7:14 PM
In case anyone's interested, it seems the Wikipedia OneBox image issue has already been reported. I put in an edit suggestion to add Mr. Miyagi.

7:24 PM
hey @AviD want an interesting fact about Metro modern IE... It doesn't support setting a proxy unless you use a registry hack or use powershell to set it from the command line...
 
@ScottPack now I have a new ambition - to be on google's bacon list
 
@ScottPack hahahaha - right. Willdo :-)
 
So I got a report of a machine being all sluggish with a load average of about 20.
After a while I finally connect. Turns out the guy who reported it had 15 programs running, using a total of 40% cpu and 80% ram. Also driving the iowait up to around 80%.
 
@RoryAlsop Surely your real goal should be to have an Erdos-Bacon number en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erd%C5%91s%E2%80%93Bacon_number
@ScottPack well obvious answer to that problem.... he needs a faster computer :)
 
7:41 PM
Wow. Winnie Cooper has an Erdos-Bacon number?!
 
@RoryMcCune I think it has more to do with running 14 processes that grep through log files. On the log collection host.
 
@RoryMcCune that would require authoring a mathematical paper...
 
@ScottPack ahh he was doing it to a server.. swift application of a cluebyfour then...
 
@RoryMcCune Mm
 
@RoryAlsop or the apocolypse... xkcd.com/599
@ScottPack ahh see now it's just getting tricky
 
7:42 PM
@RoryMcCune lovely - hadn't seen that one before
 
8:08 PM
Hit the repcap! OH YEAH!
 
heh
 
@AntonyVennard I'm no good at that. It's my combination of average answers and inability to board the reptrains
 
Listen, it doesn't happen to me very often alright @Poly ;)
 
@Polynomial Watcha' @Polynomial how did day one go?
 
was good :]
 
8:11 PM
cool :)
 
mainly setting up today
 
shiney laptop?
 
well, it's a laptop :P
the original one I was given had dead vram
half the screen was bright green ^^
 
lol perhaps they were expecting you to break out a soldering iron :op
 
Oh wow :) That's okay though, you got a computer in week 1. I have worked places where a week and a half in, no PC.
Kinda hard to do anything.
"Why didn't you attend the mandatory training event?" "Uhhhh...?" "I sent you an email" "Oh right, yeah, about that"
 
8:14 PM
heh yeah it's never a good sign if there's no PC on day one...
 
@RoryMcCune Well it didn't get any better. My team had no idea I was coming.
 
@AntonyVennard wow that's a fairly special level of clueless
 
@AntonyVennard Please don't say "...and no clue one of their guys was leaving."?
 
@RoryMcCune Yeah. At the end of my year, said employer paid me less than the full month's salary. Leaving date was Friday 29th August. End of month, Sunday the 31st. Justification for taking two days pay off me: you didn't work the full month.
 
@AntonyVennard that's quite probably illegal, but then he'll be gambling that it's not worth the while to kick up a fuss about it...
 
8:18 PM
There have been plenty of times where someone hadn't been issued keys or card swipe because nobody told me they were coming until their 4th or 5th day. When they showed up asking for them.
 
@RoryMcCune that's... interesting.
scratch that, its damn crazy.
 
@RoryMcCune Quite probably, but for the amount in question I didn't have the heart to fight it.
 
@AviD On OSX none of the browsers support local proxies. You have to set up the global proxy.
 
@ScottPack Sounds not far from some experiences I had at a previous employer. It was also very interesting when I'd get a termination notice a couple weeks after having set up a new employee and hear "It's because something came up on their background check".
 
It was enough on my you'-re-just-a-student pay to be painful, but not enough I could be bothered to spend months fighting it out.
 
8:20 PM
@AviD yeah it's proper weird... apparently MS are aware and will be putting that functionality into a later version...
 
@ScottPack see my previous comment.
 
@AviD Yeah. Pretty stupid.
 
Thx to @AntonyVennard I'm voting this as dupe:

Ideally I could store Windows/Unix user password, sudo passwords for remote servers, passwords for SSH keys, email account passwords...

 
re that cryptanalysis q. To be fair, I think the guy was basically asking "how to go about cryptanalyzing some unknown data", and a bunch of the answers and comments were "don't roll your own, it is insecure."
That said, I do agree that it went off the tracks there with the spherical chicken.
 
@Iszi I think there's little to distinguish them, but when I posted that link I had to go.
@AviD True. That's why I just edited my answer - realised carp I missed the very last line on his question: security.stackexchange.com/revisions/…
 
8:27 PM
My DAFUQ moment for the day...
Guy who is marrying My Little Pony cartoon character asks others to stop sexualizing her. http://i.imgur.com/Q9b1YUK.png
 
The caveat was right at the end, but to his credit, it was there: without knowing it in advance?
 
Nevermind "fictional character" - dude, you're marrying a f*cking horse!
4
 
@AntonyVennard twasnt there the first version. And I think its fair to point out that it would be easier to attack that secrecy.
 
Uh oh, star time.
 
@Iszi Talk about a HILF.
 
8:28 PM
@Iszi Ponies aren't horsies.
 
It's close enough.
 
@AntonyVennard thing is, if he only wants to talk about raw cryptanalysis, it should be on crypto, not here.
 
@AviD Yeah. I wanted to leave all that in because if you turn around and say "y'know, a small amount of ciphertext from a totally unknown algorithm that isn't utterly stupid is probably undecryptable" people are going to read that as "I can roll my own" when actually the important caveat is a really, really small amount, no reuse and perfect algorithm secrecy forever. Break any of those and it all falls apart.
@AviD Probably. I've no objection to the boost in my crypto rep, but I'll hate you for bringing me back below the rep cap.
 
"I would take an automated cryptanalysis tool" -> is also a good answer here, but also probably not what the OP wants.
@AntonyVennard haha
 
But don't worry, at midnight UTC, my hate for you will reset.
 
8:36 PM
Ready for a serious WTF moment?
 
@Polynomial it is crazy isn't it
 
The. Actual. Fuck.
@RoryAlsop It's insane, and depressing.
 
@Polynomial I just read it with an, "Uh huh" nod
 
the worst part is that the state he's doing it in doesn't recognise gay marriage.
So it's legal to marry a fictional cartoon character that (a) doesn't actually exist and as such (b) cannot give any form of consent, but two people of the same gender cannot get married. What kinda backwards-ass bullshit is that?
 
@Polynomial you're leaving out the "and is a horse-like animal" part.
 
8:39 PM
@Polynomial You're a little behind, in here. I already dropped the tweet in.
 
@Iszi ah fairy nuff
 
@Polynomial LOL horses for courses huh?
2
 
@TildalWave Horses for nutters, more like.
 
@Polynomial You're telling me that guy was serious? I thought it's a joke...
ok back to my coffee i guess :)
 
@TildalWave Yeah, I kinda want to call "pics or it didn't happen" but then I think of the pics and I need to go scrub my brain out with some heavy-duty cleaners. So, I'd rather presume true than ask for proof.
 
8:44 PM
@Iszi hahaha
 
@D3C4FF Y'know, your Gravatar looks nothing like your screen name.
 
@Iszi Yeah, she/he should probably have more blue in his/her gravatar.
 
#D3C4FF would be... hmmm.... Violet?
 
@TildalWave Not sure. I can never work out RGB colours in my head.
 
nah, grey-blue
 
8:49 PM
I'm pretty sure @D3C4FF is a guy, so maybe his GF's name is Violet? :)
