@JourneymanGeek In Seattle now :-)

haha

@nhinkle Yeah sure, see you. Will probably be in Portland a fair bit

So still lots of rain ;)

Seattle

Probably the US by the end of the month

Still Beijing (so much rain today)

Well, I for one support marriage between two bots if that is what they so desire

hehe

imgur is on and off

IMDb is blocked which is ridiculous when I'm sat at work in my office at Amazon... can't even get on our own site (IMDb is part of Amazon)

I guess if there's any XXX avatars on there? or possibly Tibetan flags and the like ;) the reasons for sites being blocked aren't always fully known

one thing I won't be missing from China ;)

sigh, gravatar blocked again tonight so the chat room looks like this:

there is nothing more boring than having to pack your entire place

@nhinkle thanks! been seriously busy (moving from China to the US) - had a lot of time last week but picked up again this weekend

"What's the best way to fry an egg on my CPU?"

I bet you didn't even have rep back then, you just had to tally the votes by yourself!

and superuser.com/reputation

either as it's posted, or a daily sweep

oh sure - what I meant is server-side stuff

I still wish a lot of the editing was done automatically anyway - lots of it is the same stuff over and over

not sure Amazon would approve of that :)

I don't really use the review mechanism, have a big enough backlog from dumps as it is :) usually just hop on for edit suggestions and VTCs

i'm not on the review queue

lol, remember that vending machine I broke yesterday? I just saw the engineer come and open it up, take the 5 RMB out, look at the mechanism and frown (no fix I guess then), and walk away before I had a chance to ask for my money back

anyway, 3pm, I must dash home now - have to bike in the rain :( Beijing is crazy enough without adding water to the mix

if I had more time I would - ironic really when you look at my editing stats, must look like I have plenty of time. outside of work I probably have about 45 mins-60 mins free time very day after family/personal commitments. at work I am really busy but in short bursts with free time through the day, that's when I fit in bursts of editing

I used to a few years ago but got pretty burned out

I just like editing :)

I'd say I'm reasonably organised but nothing overboard

superuser.com/users?tab=editors&filter=all

I think I'm at 11585

not accurate though

it was surprising how much you could find just by looking in a certain date range

a mix of standard on-site searches, Google searches, Data.SE etc

on a large scale yeah, I think I fixed about 98% of broken images when I did it last summer. nowadays I just fix them when I find them, I don't actively seek them

well yeah, it's early days :P I've flagged enough spammers in my time to know they start off asking lots of questions like that, even answer things - then at some point they slip in a link to whatever blarb they're spamming

probably preparing for later spam usage

I always find my Blu-Rays getting infected by viruses, I'll have to pick up one of those cables

maybe they get made as Free libel, then after being exported someone crosses the T's ;)

south China. the north are a bit better in that regard ;)

I can vouch for the last one personally

well, everything except 'Free Tibet' banners and good meat pies

Before it shut off I just imagined it trying over and over without stopping, then the motor overheating, causing a fire and me managing to burn down the whole office... all because of a small piece of paper

Ha, just broke the Coke machine at work. Put in a 5 RMB note (it accepts that amount) but it didn't seem to like it. However it couldn't spit the note back out for some reason, jammed, so it just kept trying over and over again. Eventually it gave up and kept beeping and the whole thing shut off, very odd.

Big congrats to @slhck @DanielBeck @OliverSalzburg

wonder how long it takes to propagate

ok, changed back. kind of ;)
