2008-02-17 16:16 < ST47> Don't unblock, it's already unblocked
2008-02-17 16:16 < GDonato> heh
2008-02-17 16:16 < kibble> ST47: I know, those annoy me..
2008-02-17 16:16 < kibble> they're so trigger happy
2008-02-17 16:16 < kibble> :'(
2008-02-17 16:17 < Sfan00> Image scanning
2008-02-17 16:17 * kibble doesn't know who blocked the bot; so I'm not making personal judgments :-)
2008-02-17 16:17 < Sfan00> BTW Wats this April deadline I am seeing mummers about?
2008-02-17 16:17 < bumm13> yeah, if fair-use images aren't in the main namespace, they're to be deleted
2008-02-17 16:20 < Xihix> So, you there Buffalosoldier92?
2008-02-17 16:20 < Buffalosoldier92> Yeah
2008-02-17 16:20 < Xihix> Yeah, I lost some more weight
2008-02-17 16:20 < Buffalosoldier92> I saw
2008-02-17 16:20 < Xihix> 174.8 lb now
2008-02-17 16:20 < kibble> :-(
2008-02-17 16:21 < kibble> Xihix: eat some fattening foods?
2008-02-17 16:21 < Xihix> no, I wanna lose the weight.
2008-02-17 16:21 < Xihix> I made a plan
2008-02-17 16:21 < Buffalosoldier92> Drink some water
2008-02-17 16:21 < kibble> but you're loosing it too quickly; aren't you?
2008-02-17 16:21 < Xihix> so it doesn't get too dangerous, I'm going to buy vitamins and protein.
2008-02-17 16:21 < kibble> yes, Buffalosoldier92 is right, make sure you drink water
2008-02-17 16:21 < Xihix> since I'mnot getting enough.
2008-02-17 16:21 < kibble> so you're not losing water weight
2008-02-17 16:21 < Xihix> Will diet green tea do?
2008-02-17 16:22 < Xihix> It's a fine liquid.
2008-02-17 16:22 < kibble> and you might want to do exercise to, to make sure that you do not loose muscle
2008-02-17 16:22 < Xihix> I run every night
2008-02-17 16:22 < Xihix> is that good enough?
2008-02-17 16:22 < kibble> that's very good :-)
2008-02-17 16:22 < Xihix> alright.
2008-02-17 16:22 < Xihix> I think I'm going to try to get down to 155 lb before I start trying to force myself to eat normal again
2008-02-17 16:23 < Xihix> I'll be hoping I grow a little, height wise, to make up for the rest of the weight
2008-02-17 16:23 < Xihix> and I might just be in the lower over weight area.
2008-02-17 16:24 < Sfan00> bumm13: Without disscusion?
2008-02-17 16:24 < Sfan00> Without procedure?
2008-02-17 16:24 * gwern has an abrupt sense of deja vu
2008-02-17 16:24 < Xihix> question though
2008-02-17 16:24 < Xihix> Why haven't I grown in the past few months?
2008-02-17 16:24 < Xihix> I feel that I've been 5'2" for a long time.
2008-02-17 16:24 < gwern> did a nother college shooting happen?
2008-02-17 16:25 < Sfan00> IN Chicago
2008-02-17 16:25 < Sfan00> ?
2008-02-17 16:25 < gwern> Xihix: don't think so little of yourself
2008-02-17 16:25 < Xihix> north of Chicago.
2008-02-17 16:25 < Buffalosoldier92> Another?!
2008-02-17 16:25 < gwern> I'm sure you grew a little
2008-02-17 16:25 < Buffalosoldier92> Where the hell have I been?
2008-02-17 16:25 < gwern> oh my god, even Buffalosoldier92 is here too
2008-02-17 16:25 < Xihix> I hope I did. otherwise, I'll be 5 foot forever
2008-02-17 16:25 < gwern> IS THIS REALLY TODAY AND NOT YESTERDAY???1
2008-02-17 16:25 < ST47> NO!!!
2008-02-17 16:25 < Xihix> I wanna get to 6 ft, but I don't think anyone in my family has been in the 6 foot area before.
2008-02-17 16:25 < Buffalosoldier92> Xihix: You kow that for males, your main growth spurts happen around 16 right?
2008-02-17 16:25 < Xihix> but all the other kids are taller than me :(
2008-02-17 16:25 < ST47> THIS IS TOMORROW!
2008-02-17 16:26 < Sfan00> Hi St47
2008-02-17 16:26 < Buffalosoldier92> I'm one of the shortest kids in my high school
2008-02-17 16:26 < Xihix> by a few inches, too.
2008-02-17 16:26 < Buffalosoldier92> But for some reason, I'm eating more
2008-02-17 16:26 < ST47> hi.
2008-02-17 16:26 < gwern> OH NOES
2008-02-17 16:26 < Sfan00> is STBot yours?
2008-02-17 16:26 * Lycurgus was 6'2" in eight grade.
2008-02-17 16:26 < Xihix> Well, I just hope I grow. I hate being short.
2008-02-17 16:26 < ST47> Aye.
2008-02-17 16:26 < ST47> That it is.
2008-02-17 16:26 < Buffalosoldier92> I was 4'8 in the 8th grade
2008-02-17 16:26 < Sfan00> Because it might have erronusly flagged something that was listed as 'self-made' as unsourced?
2008-02-17 16:26 < Buffalosoldier92> Ok, maybe not 4'8
2008-02-17 16:26 < Xihix> Oh wow.
2008-02-17 16:26 < ST47> Well, STBot doesn't do anything anymore. STBotI is.
2008-02-17 16:26 < Buffalosoldier92> I was taller than my mom
2008-02-17 16:26 < ST47> Link?
2008-02-17 16:26 < Buffalosoldier92> Making me... 5'1 in the 8th grade
2008-02-17 16:27 < Sfan00> Erm : I forget :(
2008-02-17 16:27 < Xihix> so...
2008-02-17 16:27 < ST47> :(
2008-02-17 16:27 < gwern> Xihix: take a clue from kim jong-il - platform shoes and poufy hair are cool
2008-02-17 16:27 < Sfan00> Sorry ST47: but if it does it agin I wil let you know
2008-02-17 16:27 < Sfan00> :)
2008-02-17 16:27 < Xihix> Gwern - lol
2008-02-17 16:27 < ST47> It doesn't do nosource taggings
2008-02-17 16:27 < gwern> let's all wear shoes in accordance with the socialist lifestyle!
2008-02-17 16:27 < Lycurgus> but this 5 ft nun slapped my glasses off my face
2008-02-17 16:27 < ST47> Probably it tagged it as not having a copyright tag
2008-02-17 16:27 < Xihix> Buffalosoldier92, do you think I can get at least 5'9"
2008-02-17 16:27 * Buffalosoldier92 shrugs
2008-02-17 16:27 < Buffalosoldier92> I think I'm gonna be at most 5'10
2008-02-17 16:28 < Lycurgus> i'll never remember what I said, but she called me out in the hall and whalloped me
2008-02-17 16:28 < Lycurgus> DON'T FUCK WITH THE BRIDES OF CHRIST
2008-02-17 16:28 * NotAPolecat loves a BBC photo he found with Britney in a car surrounded by photographers
2008-02-17 16:29 < gwern> oh, I cound a better link: [[For The Children (politics)]]
2008-02-17 16:29 < NotAPolecat> and there's a guy in the back saying ASK JESUS TO SAVE YOU NOW
2008-02-17 16:29 < NotAPolecat> *holding a sign saying
2008-02-17 16:33 < NotAPolecat> Kim Jong-Il has an awful taste in clothes
2008-02-17 16:33 < NotAPolecat> but maybe that's proletarian
2008-02-17 16:33 < Sfan00> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Foreskin_Penis_Descript2.jpg one for the restricted list :(
2008-02-17 16:34 < NotAPolecat> Wikipedia denies the existence of foreskins?
2008-02-17 16:34 < NotAPolecat> See, it's a Jewish conspiracy
2008-02-17 16:34 < NotAPolecat> :-P
2008-02-17 16:35 < Sfan00> I am saying it needs to be on the special list to prvet it being used for vandalistic purposes
2008-02-17 16:35 < Sfan00> *prevent
2008-02-17 16:35 < Sfan00> !admin
2008-02-17 16:35 < NotAPolecat> yea, fair
2008-02-17 16:35 < OverlordQ> NotAPolecat: link to that brittany photo?
2008-02-17 16:35 < Buffalosoldier92> O_o?
2008-02-17 16:35 * Buffalosoldier92 was circumscised...
2008-02-17 16:35 < NotAPolecat> http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/44431000/jpg/_44431213_scrum_ap203b.jpg
2008-02-17 16:35 < NotAPolecat> that banner was certainly very helpful at that moment
2008-02-17 16:36 < OverlordQ> Bah, surely there's a bigger pic
2008-02-17 16:36 < NotAPolecat> sure
2008-02-17 16:36 < NotAPolecat> I'm sure FOX has a very extensive coverage of her every step
2008-02-17 16:37 < Buffalosoldier92> XD
2008-02-17 16:37 < Buffalosoldier92> Who cares about Brittney Spears?
2008-02-17 16:37 < gwern> quite a few people, apparently
2008-02-17 16:37 < NotAPolecat> The guys surrounder her certainly do
2008-02-17 16:37 < Sfan00> Scanning images Is it me or do new uploaders actually understand about adding rationales now?
2008-02-17 16:37 * OverlordQ if it involves her in hilariously funny stories that re-iterate how far she's falled
2008-02-17 16:37 < NotAPolecat> gossip sells like madness
2008-02-17 16:38 < OverlordQ> *fallen
2008-02-17 16:38 < NotAPolecat> people love talking about people far more than about ideas
2008-02-17 16:38 < NotAPolecat> part of what is wrong with electoral campaigns
2008-02-17 16:38 < NotAPolecat> they personalize everything absurdly
2008-02-17 16:39 < Buffalosoldier92> Oh god...
2008-02-17 16:39 < Buffalosoldier92> now I'm sick
2008-02-17 16:39 < Sfan00> !admin
2008-02-17 16:39 < NotAPolecat> Wow, it's gotten cold tonight
2008-02-17 16:39 < Buffalosoldier92> Damn you hunger headaches
2008-02-17 16:39 < J_Milburn> Sfan00, use #wikipedia-en
2008-02-17 16:39 < Snowolf> Sfan00: enclose a question when ringing the bell ;-)
2008-02-17 16:40 < Sfan00> Snowolf: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Foreskin_Penis_Descript2.jpg needs to go on the restricted list
2008-02-17 16:40 < Sfan00> So it can't be used for vandalistic purposes
2008-02-17 16:40 * Gracenotes bans Sfan00 for linking to a shock image
2008-02-17 16:41 < Buffalosoldier92> pr0n
2008-02-17 16:41 < Sfan00> Gracenotes :(
2008-02-17 16:41 < Snowolf> Sfan00: didn't said that I was handling the request, I'm pretty busy on lmowiki ATM
2008-02-17 16:41 < Gracenotes> :P
2008-02-17 16:41 < Sfan00> I was treating the image in context
2008-02-17 16:41 < OverlordQ> there's a wiki about lawnmowers?
2008-02-17 16:41 < Gracenotes> yes, you were
2008-02-17 16:41 < Buffalosoldier92> say wha?
2008-02-17 16:41 < Sfan00> OverloadQ: Wouldn't suprise me...
2008-02-17 16:41 < Buffalosoldier92> there was a vandal wiki requested
2008-02-17 16:41 < Sfan00> There is Advanced Lawnmower Simulator :)
2008-02-17 16:42 < OverlordQ> o really
2008-02-17 16:42 < Buffalosoldier92> I believe that it was turned down
2008-02-17 16:42 < NotAPolecat> Whats the difference to Basic Lawnmower Simulator? Twice the cutting capability?
2008-02-17 16:42 < Buffalosoldier92> Speaking of vandals, I used to vandalise wikipedia
2008-02-17 16:42 < Gracenotes> NotAPolecat: AI, probably
2008-02-17 16:42 < Buffalosoldier92> Then I decided that helping was better than hindering
2008-02-17 16:42 < NotAPolecat> YAY
2008-02-17 16:42 < Sfan00> St47: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Alta_Club_Logo.jpg - Bot tagged it - Has an extensive Rationale
2008-02-17 16:43 < Sfan00> NotApoleCat: see [[Advanced Lawnmower Simulator]]
2008-02-17 16:43 < OverlordQ> Not fair, the acme lawnace is broken
2008-02-17 16:44 < ST47> no rationale
2008-02-17 16:44 < ST47> nevermind
2008-02-17 16:44 < ST47> no tag
2008-02-17 16:45 < Sfan00> ST47: That one has a rationale, it's a license tag it missing
2008-02-17 16:51 * brown_cat_nap watches ST47 and Sfan00 collaborate suspiciously
2008-02-17 16:51 * brown_cat_nap prepares to call the FBI
2008-02-17 16:51 < Sfan00> Hi brown_cat
2008-02-17 16:52 < brown_cat_nap> hello :)
2008-02-17 16:52 < Sfan00> /ignore brown_cat-nap
2008-02-17 16:52 < Sfan00> /ignore brown_cat_nap
2008-02-17 16:52 < mavhc> s*##, it's a pattern
2008-02-17 16:52 * brown_cat_nap wonders why Sfan00 continues to do that
2008-02-17 16:54 < Sfan00> St47: Hi
2008-02-17 16:56 * Buffalosoldier92 hates headaches
2008-02-17 16:57 * Buffalosoldier92 grabs his head in pain
2008-02-17 16:57 < mavhc> take drugs
2008-02-17 16:57 < Buffalosoldier92> I took Bayer
2008-02-17 16:58 < Buffalosoldier92> Can you get headaches from being hungry?
2008-02-17 16:58 < CharlotteWebb> possibly, but never take aspirin on an empty stomach
2008-02-17 16:58 < bumm13> indeed, have food on your stomach when you take it
2008-02-17 16:59 * Buffalosoldier92 slaps himself, making his headache worse
2008-02-17 16:59 < bumm13> otherwise it'll tear into your stomach lining a bit
2008-02-17 16:59 < bumm13> (if it isn't enteric-coated aspirin)
2008-02-17 16:59 * Buffalosoldier92 gets some crackers
2008-02-17 16:59 < Buffalosoldier92> brb
2008-02-17 17:00 < Buffalosoldier92> back
2008-02-17 17:01 * brown_cat throws bread at Buffalosoldier92
2008-02-17 17:01 * Buffalosoldier92 falls over
2008-02-17 17:01 < brown_cat> :D
2008-02-17 17:01 * brown_cat throws more bread at Buffalosoldier92 happily
2008-02-17 17:01 < CharlotteWebb> likewise you want to wait until well after you stop drinking before taking aspirin
2008-02-17 17:02 < CharlotteWebb> don't take it because you "expect a hangover" :p
2008-02-17 17:02 < Buffalosoldier92> rofl
2008-02-17 17:02 < Buffalosoldier92> brb
2008-02-17 17:02 < Buffalosoldier92> eating
2008-02-17 17:02 < brown_cat> enjoy your bread
2008-02-17 17:03 < brown_cat> O_o
2008-02-17 17:03 < CharlotteWebb> "enjoy every sandwich"
2008-02-17 17:03 < brown_cat> Mike_H is a zombeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
2008-02-17 17:03 * brown_cat cuddles Mike_H_
2008-02-17 17:04 < Laptop_Brain> hi, does anyone have a rollback bot that can revert all changes to a wiki within the past X hours?
2008-02-17 17:04 * brown_cat hides brown_cat_bot
2008-02-17 17:04 < brown_cat> no
2008-02-17 17:04 < Laptop_Brain> one of our contributors just went nuts over a channel ban and wiped something like 17 pages in a minute, we reverted it by hand but it would have been faster to run a script to roll everything back within the past 10 mins
2008-02-17 17:05 < CharlotteWebb> laptop_brain, it might be possible on a smaller project
2008-02-17 17:05 < CharlotteWebb> would be
2008-02-17 17:05 < Laptop_Brain> CharlotteWebb: our wiki is generally pretty small, maybe 1000 pages or less
2008-02-17 17:05 < CharlotteWebb> on enwiki i doubt a "revert everything starting from an hour ago" bot would ever catch up to real time
2008-02-17 17:06 < Laptop_Brain> 2693 pages, says 169 are 'probably legitimate content pages'
2008-02-17 17:06 < Laptop_Brain> doing it against the database as a script would probably be nicer
2008-02-17 17:06 < Laptop_Brain> but i wouldnt want to munge my db
2008-02-17 17:08 < CharlotteWebb> do a backup first perhaps
2008-02-17 17:11 < Scott5114> Is there any sort of tool I can use to count the number of articles in a category (including all subcats)?
2008-02-17 17:12 < Scott5114> preferably an online tool
2008-02-17 17:12 < Scott5114> (I'm on linux so I can't use AWB)
2008-02-17 17:13 < brown_cat> O_o
2008-02-17 17:13 < brown_cat> THE NAZI'S
2008-02-17 17:13 < brown_cat> THEY'RE BACK!!!
2008-02-17 17:13 * brown_cat hides
2008-02-17 17:13 < brown_cat> the're arriving O_o
2008-02-17 17:13 < CharlotteWebb> nackt verkauf der lederhosen!
2008-02-17 17:14 < brown_cat> ARGHH!!!
2008-02-17 17:14 < brown_cat> CharlotteWebb: Sie sprechen nicht die Sprache, in Teufels hier
2008-02-17 17:16 < GPH-Laptop> I've come across a user that I believe is posting information about himself, under multiple usernames, and removing my {{notability}} tag to the article
2008-02-17 17:16 < Mike_H> brown_cat: shouldn't you be asleep
2008-02-17 17:16 < Buffalosoldier92> I am back in black
2008-02-17 17:17 < GPH-Laptop> What should I do?
2008-02-17 17:19 < CharlotteWebb> es ist ein witz über eine bestimmte gruppe der sockenpuppen
2008-02-17 17:19 < pengo> sockenpuppen
2008-02-17 17:20 < GPH-Laptop> CharlotteWebb: Was that to me?
2008-02-17 17:21 < CharlotteWebb> not intentionally
2008-02-17 17:21 < CharlotteWebb> though it might be applicable
2008-02-17 17:21 < GPH-Laptop> heh
2008-02-17 17:22 < GPH-Laptop> So, anyway, what should I do with the situation?
2008-02-17 17:24 < CharlotteWebb> well, first consider the possibility that he really is "notable"
2008-02-17 17:24 < CharlotteWebb> (whatever that actually means)
2008-02-17 17:24 < GPH-Laptop> it's possible, but that's not for me to judge... hence the {{notability}} added to the article to make sure
2008-02-17 17:25 < GPH-Laptop> but it was then removed by one of the supposed usernames
2008-02-17 17:25 < CharlotteWebb> advise him to find sources, other than himself, to verify the content
2008-02-17 17:25 < GPH-Laptop> there are plenty of sources he notes in the article
2008-02-17 17:25 < GPH-Laptop> [[Steven Libutti]] is the article
2008-02-17 17:26 < CharlotteWebb> ok, is the information presented in an unbiased manner?
2008-02-17 17:26 < CharlotteWebb> looking
2008-02-17 17:26 < GPH-Laptop> k
2008-02-17 17:26 < GPH-Laptop> Kenneth 364 and John1864 are the users
2008-02-17 17:27 < GPH-Laptop> err
2008-02-17 17:27 < GPH-Laptop> Kenneth364 and John1864 are the users
2008-02-17 17:27 < GPH-Laptop> My logic: "Kenneth" could be his middle name, "3" is the number of kids he has, and "64" is his birth year
2008-02-17 17:28 < GPH-Laptop> I don't know about "John", but "18" is his birthday, and "64" as mentioned
2008-02-17 17:28 < CharlotteWebb> or it could be completely random, don't lose sleep over it
2008-02-17 17:28 < GPH-Laptop> it could be
2008-02-17 17:29 < CharlotteWebb> free photos, that's always a plus
2008-02-17 17:29 < GPH-Laptop> but these users only edit articles about Steven Libutti
2008-02-17 17:29 < Mrdini1> heya all
2008-02-17 17:31 < Qst> Evening, Mrdini1
2008-02-17 17:31 < Mrdini> evenin'
2008-02-17 17:31 < Manetho_> Pepi II reigned either 64 or more popularly 94 years. I guess his nick would be Neferkare6494,
2008-02-17 17:32 < CharlotteWebb> i don't see any reason to delete this
2008-02-17 17:33 < CharlotteWebb> might be helpful to get some other people to look over it
2008-02-17 17:33 < CharlotteWebb> just to keep it from drifting off in one direction
2008-02-17 17:34 < Mrdini> popped in 'ere as need a bit of feedback... a somewhat-obscure article links to a youtube video.... now, I'd prefer not to link to youtube videoes for obvious reasons, but I can't find any other sources - thoughts?
2008-02-17 17:34 < Mrdini> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bian_Lian <--- this
2008-02-17 17:34 < CharlotteWebb> as long as nobody accuses him of naked short selling, i don't see a real problem
2008-02-17 17:34 < Mrdini> I _could_ link to a non-english video, but the copyright status of that would be even more uncertain :P
2008-02-17 17:35 < CharlotteWebb> anyway i gotta go
2008-02-17 17:38 < Mrdini> anyone? Bueller? Sfan00? :P
2008-02-17 17:43 < Suva> Hmmm, Kosovo declared independence...
2008-02-17 17:45 < Arwen> yay, civil war ftw
2008-02-17 17:46 < Suva> I am amazed that there is not too much battles over this in wikipedia
2008-02-17 17:48 < Platonides> can new accounts create articles at enwiki, or do they need to be 4 days old?
2008-02-17 17:51 < Gracenotes> Platonides: new accounts
2008-02-17 17:51 < Gracenotes> last I checked, anyway
2008-02-17 17:53 < pengo> Mrdini: what's wrong with the youtube vid?
2008-02-17 17:55 < Mrdini> pengo, Sfan's complaining :P wants "Full rationale" for it
2008-02-17 17:56 < pengo> Mrdini: it's not embedded tho
2008-02-17 17:56 < the_giver> hi
2008-02-17 17:57 * Mrdini shrugs - tell him, not me :P that's why I'm here - for advice as I'm not exactly a very expericenced wikipedian :P
2008-02-17 17:57 < the_giver> what are some cool technologies you guys have heard about to try to reduce "global warming"
2008-02-17 17:57 < the_giver> or whatever
2008-02-17 17:57 < the_giver> pollution and what not
2008-02-17 17:57 < Sfan00> Mirdini: What I meant was
2008-02-17 17:57 < Sfan00> Justify the You Tube link on the tube page so I don't remove it again by mistake :)
2008-02-17 17:58 < Mrdini> Sfan, I'm not the owner of that video thou'
2008-02-17 17:58 < Sfan00> This could be VERY simple
2008-02-17 17:58 < Sfan00> Like - Video link considered fair use because:- <blah>
2008-02-17 18:00 < pengo> the_giver: there's this new technology called a "tree".
2008-02-17 18:00 < pengo> the_giver: all you do is not cut it down
2008-02-17 18:01 < the_giver> dont be stupid pengo
2008-02-17 18:01 < the_giver> i'm talking about stuff like this: http://www.inhabitat.com/2008/02/11/artificial-energy-islands-to-produce-energy-and-meet-water-requirements-of-the-world/
2008-02-17 18:01 < the_giver> using this : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_thermal_energy_conversion
2008-02-17 18:02 < Mrdini> Sfan, quite, but as pengo remarked, it's not embedded
2008-02-17 18:03 < Mrdini> so I can't exactly justify the link _on_ the youtube page because there isn't one!
2008-02-17 18:03 < Mrdini> (on wiki that is)
2008-02-17 18:03 < pengo> the_giver: a start might be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitigation_of_global_warming
2008-02-17 18:07 < Mrdini> Sfan, where should the justification be placed.....?
2008-02-17 18:07 < pengo> Mrdini: you could put it in a comment next to the link <!-- like this -->
2008-02-17 18:07 < Mrdini> pengo, hmm..... ok
2008-02-17 18:08 < pengo> Mrdini: i still dont think it's necessary, but it might stop this bickering
2008-02-17 18:09 < Mrdini> pengo, hah, yeah, indeed
2008-02-17 18:16 < Mrdini> ah well, sorted

2008-02-17 19:36 < NotAPolecat> Karl Rove had no hand in planning the war, only in selling it.
2008-02-17 19:39 < NotAPolecat> heh, a laudatio of the novels of Jim Fenimore Cooper
2008-02-17 19:40 < zvook> "Jim"?
2008-02-17 19:40 < NotAPolecat> James
2008-02-17 19:40 < zvook> was he a pal of yours?
2008-02-17 19:40 < NotAPolecat> I'm a lazy typer
2008-02-17 19:41 < zvook> heh
2008-02-17 19:42 < zvook> have you read much critical stuff on shakespeare?
2008-02-17 19:42 < zvook> i always meant to read certain things but never did
2008-02-17 19:42 < zvook> stuff from ts eliot to "sam" johnson
2008-02-17 19:42 < NotAPolecat> Hm, I was examined on Hamlet in highschool, so TS Eliot, some communist and anti-communist critiques, Goethe's...
2008-02-17 19:42 < OverlordQ> Grrr
2008-02-17 19:43 < OverlordQ> forgot the syntax to make a box collapsed by default
2008-02-17 19:43 < zvook> how did you find them?
2008-02-17 19:44 < NotAPolecat> Most of them were very much affixed to their time.
2008-02-17 19:44 < NotAPolecat> so they're interesting but of little relevance
2008-02-17 19:44 < NotAPolecat> oh, feminist ones too.
2008-02-17 19:46 < Apple> god x-chat is being gay :(
2008-02-17 19:46 < NotAPolecat> X-Chat likes clients of its own gender?
2008-02-17 19:46 < ddelony> I think you should respect X-Chat's lifestyle choice.
2008-02-17 19:46 < Mark_Ryan> it's not a lifestyle choice, x-chat was born that way.
2008-02-17 19:46 < Krimpet> has it been gallivanting around with irssi behind your back?
2008-02-17 19:51 < OverlordQ> eww irssi, x-chat should have some self respect
2008-02-17 19:56 * Mike_H licks ALLSTARecho
2008-02-17 19:56 < ALLSTARecho> lower
2008-02-17 19:56 < Mike_H> :o
2008-02-17 19:57 < CJMiller> hey all
2008-02-17 19:57 < FastLizard4> Oh, noes
2008-02-17 19:57 < CJMiller> I'm using the comp that I own
2008-02-17 19:58 < CJMiller> HUZZAH FOR T3H R0U+3R5!
2008-02-17 19:58 < FastLizard4> /silence CJMiller
2008-02-17 19:59 * Gracenotes NP: I Will Survive. Don't laugh, guys :<
2008-02-17 19:59 < OverlordQ> Shun is more fun
2008-02-17 19:59 < FastLizard4> X-D
2008-02-17 19:59 < CJMiller> I'm still h3r3.
2008-02-17 19:59 < Mike_H> Gracenotes: I won't judge :<
2008-02-17 20:00 < FastLizard4> Note if CJMiller is still around: CJMiller: You are probably on everyone's ignore list if you are wondering
2008-02-17 20:01 * ST47 kills CJMiller
2008-02-17 20:09 < CJMiller> Why does everyone hate me?
2008-02-17 20:09 < Undeference> CJMiller: HUZZAH FOR T3H R0U+3R5!
2008-02-17 20:10 < FastLizard4> ...
2008-02-17 20:11 < ST47> I agree with FastLizard4.
2008-02-17 20:13 < CJMiller> Why does everyone hate me?
2008-02-17 20:14 * Buffalosoldier92 doesn't know you, and so, can't hate you
2008-02-17 20:14 < CJMiller> Why did I get banned from #glitchcity (abwayax.com) even though I didn't do anything bad??????????????????
2008-02-17 20:15 < Krimpet> punctuation abuse like that causes cancer of the semicolon.
2008-02-17 20:17 < CJMiller> Why did I get banned from #glitchcity (abwayax.com) even though I didn't do anything bad?
2008-02-17 20:17 < wimt> CJMiller, discuss it with whoever banned you there.
2008-02-17 20:17 < Rschen7754> taking your anger out on wikipedians rarely helps anything
2008-02-17 20:23 < FastLizard4> CJMiller: What server is #glitchcity on?
2008-02-17 20:34 < Gracenotes> Krimpet: hey, programming joke outside of the context of programming :|
2008-02-17 20:35 * Krimpet smashes Gracenotes's stack
2008-02-17 20:35 * Gracenotes shuns Krimpet
2008-02-17 20:43 * Ceiling_Cat facehuggles Gracenotes & Krimpet
2008-02-17 20:44 * Krimpet bites
2008-02-17 20:44 * Gracenotes huggles Krimpet | (Ceiling_Cat >> wimt)
2008-02-17 20:45 * Ceiling_Cat touch Krimpet << Gracenotes's innocence > youtube
2008-02-17 20:46 < Gracenotes> Krimpet: he's just left-shifted you by my innocence :>
2008-02-17 20:46 < ST47> Which isn't a great deal of left-shifting.
2008-02-17 20:47 < Gracenotes> the question, though, is whether the result is better than YouTube or not
2008-02-17 20:48 < ST47> What's the touching have to do with anything?
2008-02-17 20:48 < CJMiller> wimt: I can't. The only channel on which I could discuss my ban is the one from which I have been banned.
2008-02-17 20:48 < Gracenotes> not sure
2008-02-17 20:48 < ST47> I see.
2008-02-17 20:48 < Gracenotes> maybe the operand being shifted is the act of Ceiling_Cat touching Krimpet?
2008-02-17 20:48 < Gracenotes> hm
2008-02-17 20:48 < ST47> That would be weird.
2008-02-17 20:48 < Gracenotes> that phrase could use some parentheses
2008-02-17 20:48 < ST47> I like parentheses.
2008-02-17 20:49 < Gracenotes> DEATH TO SCHEME
2008-02-17 20:49 < wimt> CJMiller, private message an op perhaps?
2008-02-17 20:49 * Krimpet takes precedence over all, because she's just cool like that.
2008-02-17 20:49 < ST47> CJMiller: we really don't care. Ask on op of the channel you were banned from.
2008-02-17 20:50 < Ceiling_Cat> AHA!
2008-02-17 20:50 < Ceiling_Cat> http://www.theonion.com/content/news/area_man_honored_to_be_one_who
2008-02-17 20:50 * ST47 looks at Ceiling_Cat
2008-02-17 20:50 < Ceiling_Cat> I was looking to see who added heath ledger's death first
2008-02-17 20:50 < Ceiling_Cat> http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Heath_Ledger&diff=prev&oldid=186202554
2008-02-17 20:50 < Ceiling_Cat> That is it
2008-02-17 20:51 < Xihix> Amazing, Ceiling_Cat
2008-02-17 20:51 < Xihix> wonder how he did it so fast, amirite?
2008-02-17 21:01 < Gracenotes> Ceiling_Cat: heh, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Heath_Ledger&diff=next&oldid=186202958

2008-02-17 21:07 < Jihoon> who here is from nj
2008-02-17 21:07 < Mark_Ryan> hullo bumm13 :)
2008-02-17 21:37 < Luna-San> Y'know, the advanced version of the turrets level in Portal is kinda tricky.
2008-02-17 21:46 < Evil_Monkey> Looking at the list of countries that are planning not to recognized Kosovo, you have to wonder if some of the decision are domestically motivated
2008-02-17 21:46 < Evil_Monkey> Cyprus, Spain, Sri Lanka, China
2008-02-17 21:54 < HemlockMartinis> Evil_Monkey: I've read more than a few articles while compiling that list, and that's exactly why.
2008-02-17 21:55 < HemlockMartinis> Russia's worried about the multitude of possible breakaways there, Spain's got the Basques and Catalan, Sri Lanka's still got their civil war, and China's got a few autonomous provinces like Tibet and nominally Taiwan,
2008-02-17 21:55 < HemlockMartinis> .
2008-02-17 21:55 < White_Cat> HemlockMartinis well
