00:29:14 <Pipian> Well
00:29:17 <Pipian> That's disappointing.
00:29:32 <Pipian> The course I was going to take on Wednesday nights has been postponed a semester
00:54:48 <nathanbp> wow have to read the back log
01:02:53 <Pipian> Why is "Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2" a featured video this week in iTunes
01:06:40 <Puyopuyo> !pointer
01:06:40 <Sacchi> http://www.pipian.com/stuffforchat/cochineal-logs/Cochineal-2011-02-03.html#T1-6-40
01:06:51 <Pipian> Yep
01:06:56 <Pipian> Thrilling discussion since you left
01:09:11 <Puyopuyo> very much so
01:10:27 <Pipian> I should probably buy my tickets for the Time of Eve showing on the 19th
01:10:51 <Pipian> Now that I've all but confirmed that my flight out is going to be the 21st
01:12:11 <Puyopuyo> nice!
02:42:19 <gadgetgrl> pointer!
02:42:26 <gadgetgrl> sacchi, pointer
02:42:33 <Puyopuyo> !pointer
02:42:33 <Sacchi> http://www.pipian.com/stuffforchat/cochineal-logs/Cochineal-2011-02-03.html#T2-42-33
02:42:41 <gadgetgrl> gah, front not back
02:42:44 <gadgetgrl> thanks
02:42:44 <Puyopuyo> Or Sacchi, pointer?
02:42:49 <gadgetgrl> yeah, was attempting that
02:42:54 <Puyopuyo> It's in the topic!
02:43:01 <gadgetgrl> i was trying from memory?
02:43:08 <Puyopuyo> Can't fault you there.
02:43:13 <gadgetgrl> the topic with the instructions requires to pull down
02:43:20 <Puyopuyo> ...really? Lemme fix that.
02:44:00 <gadgetgrl> it could just be my client
02:44:07 <Puyopuyo> Does it need a pull down now?
02:45:14 <nathanbp> should invite mark so he can idle here all the time just like he does on aim
02:46:42 <Puyopuyo> Up to you.
02:46:47 <Puyopuyo> I got the three people I talk to regularly.
03:21:09 <gadgetgrl> nope
03:21:26 <gadgetgrl> re: pull down, not mark :)
03:25:33 <Puyopuyo> Okay, so that fixed it then.
03:25:36 <Puyopuyo> I'll leave it in that order.
03:40:06 <Pipian> It's her client
03:40:10 <Pipian> I'm using Colloquy as well
03:41:42 <Puyopuyo> Ah
03:42:45 <Pipian> So I know what she's talking about
03:43:10 <gadgetgrl> still doesn't hurt to move it towards the front
03:43:20 <gadgetgrl> though now that i've messed up twice, i'll remember what i did wrong most likely
03:43:26 <gadgetgrl> (that's a learning theory!)
03:44:18 <Pipian> it keeps happening
03:44:27 <Pipian> there are more pony avatars on this web forum
03:44:59 <Pipian> Pony discussion has even broken into the MS Paint Adventures thread
03:45:37 <Puyopuyo> ...wow
03:45:49 <Pipian> But then
03:46:05 <Pipian> That's partly because the most recent avatar fad (ongoing) before ponies
03:46:10 <Pipian> was MS Paint Adventures
03:57:43 <Pipian> "What I Watched: The Island Arc of Nadia"
03:57:52 <Pipian> "What I expected: Standard filler arc"
03:58:00 <Pipian> "What I got: Tsundere Gilligan's Island"
05:21:06 <Pipian> And
05:21:09 <Pipian> Flights booked
05:21:19 <Pipian> So I should be good to come down the weekend of the 19th next month
05:21:30 <Pipian> Once I book bus or train or whatever.
05:23:21 <Puyopuyo> Awesome.
05:36:32 <Pipian> So I'll work on that tomorrow
07:19:22 <gadgetgrl> so ian, if i'm reading that right, you're coming to nyc for time of eve?
07:21:41 <Puyopuyo> So...Panel de Pon Grand Tournament of the Ages?
07:21:48 <Puyopuyo> Translated to: DON'T PLAY LIKE IAN!
07:29:56 <gadgetgrl> lol
07:30:01 <gadgetgrl> bring it!
07:30:18 <gadgetgrl> heading to bed...ttyl!
07:30:27 <gadgetgrl> night!
07:39:39 <Pipian> yesssss
07:39:49 <Puyopuyo> ?
07:39:55 <Pipian> plausible victory path past Maylene identified
07:40:07 <Pipian> Still requires significant luck
07:40:20 <Pipian> But it's possible with my <L27 team
07:40:32 <Pipian> It's the Lucario that poses the problem
07:40:53 <Pipian> Since my Crobat can't sweep it with the rest of the team.
07:41:14 <Pipian> However, upon reminding me that ground beats steel
07:41:30 <Pipian> My Graveler MIGHT be able to take it out despite the type disadvantage
07:42:09 <Pipian> Since Magnitude 7+ can crit-hit into a OHKO
07:42:29 <Pipian> And it can survive a single drain punch/force slap etc.
07:43:19 <Pipian> Slap the quick claw on it (which is all I've got at the moment since I have no choice scarf)
07:43:27 <Puyopuyo> ...you're gambling pretty heavily on a high Magnitude.
07:43:33 <Puyopuyo> Though Mag 10 would win it outright for you.
07:43:40 <Pipian> And there's a chance I can get two mags off instead
07:43:49 <Pipian> Mag 10 could OHKO it
07:44:00 <Puyopuyo> ...also, I'm suddenly thinking my family's going to be in serious financial trouble.
07:44:04 <Pipian> Mag 7+ Crit would OHKO it
07:44:30 <Pipian> Or two Mag 7+ attacks with the second invoking Quick Claw
07:44:52 <Puyopuyo> http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/03/nyregion/03pension.html <- My dad's retiring as a teacher after 25 years in 1 and a half years. We've got no other income. This...could possibly completely screw us over.
07:46:09 <Pipian> Eck
07:46:35 <Puyopuyo> Incidentally, he's going to be 60.
07:46:38 <Pipian> Well
07:46:40 <Puyopuyo> (By that time)
07:46:45 <Pipian> That all talks about new workers
07:47:00 <Pipian> Says nothing about current retirees except for the stipend for police and fire
07:47:08 <Puyopuyo> Dunno what else it says.
07:47:26 <Puyopuyo> And I'm worried about changes as well.
07:47:42 <Puyopuyo> We'll see how it goes, but this pretty much kills my mother's decision to go into teaching.
07:48:05 <Pipian> I could see that though
07:48:19 <Puyopuyo> She's just finished 3 years of getting a masters in education.
07:48:31 <Puyopuyo> This does not bode well for us.
07:48:44 <Puyopuyo> ...huh. We may lose our house. That's really not good. Better discuss with them.
07:49:10 <Pipian> Like I said
07:49:17 <Pipian> Unless those changes apply to existing employees
07:49:21 <Pipian> It'd only apply to your mom
07:49:32 <Puyopuyo> Yeaaah, but pension is roughly half salary.
07:49:51 <Puyopuyo> So we'd be making about enough to cover month to month, not counting my sister's incurred expenses.
07:50:12 <Pipian> Well yeah
07:50:17 <Pipian> If you're counting on a second one
07:50:20 <Pipian> Then it's a problem
07:50:35 <Puyopuyo> Well, we were counting on my mother making some money.
07:50:49 <Puyopuyo> Admittedly, teaching in NYC isn't doing so hot.
07:51:14 <Pipian> Teaching anywhere isn't all that hot
07:51:47 <Puyopuyo> Outside of the USA it is.
07:51:52 <Pipian> Oh well yeah
07:52:11 <Pipian> But as long as you're restricting yourself to a country where education is not seen as a particularly high priority
07:52:24 <Puyopuyo> Smart people suck, after all.
07:52:41 <Pipian> They can think for themselves
07:52:44 <Pipian> That did it
07:52:52 <Pipian> Mag 7 + Mag 8 (Quick Claw)
07:53:11 <Pipian> Took a few tries to get that outcome though
07:54:46 <Pipian> Now to effectively ice that Crobat for a while to get the rest of the team up to L28
07:55:12 <Pipian> I swear these games are really tilted towards having one uber pokemon and a useless rest of the team
07:58:32 <Pipian> That's right
07:58:35 <Pipian> I have Morel for a reason
07:58:41 <Pipian> Now to catch Rinnosuke
07:58:44 <Puyopuyo> Oh god.
07:59:25 <Pipian> Ah, good ol' Spore + False Swipe
07:59:51 <Pipian> Incredibly important when catching L3 pokemon with a L50-odd team
08:00:41 <Puyopuyo> Winning combination always.
08:04:42 <Pipian> Ah
08:04:52 <Pipian> The obscure reasons behind having a Golem named GEODUDER
08:08:38 <Pipian> My brother gave me a pretty good reason why Portland bike lanes are among the best in the US
08:08:43 <Pipian> Being all of http://www.joystiq.com/2010/08/24/mario-kart-symbols-appear-on-bike-lanes-in-portland-ore/
08:10:46 <Puyopuyo> Nice!
08:11:58 <Pipian> Anyway
08:12:01 <Pipian> Once again it's bedtime.
08:15:06 <Puyopuyo> Night!

16:48:35 <gadgetgrl> Does the Strand sell magazines?
17:03:27 <Puyopuyo> I'm not sure.
17:03:43 <Puyopuyo> Oh, with respect to the Lugaru HD fiasco on the Apple Store: http://cdn.wolfire.com/blog/a/apple_pirate.png

17:04:10 <Pipian-Lab> I don't recall magazines from the couple times I went
17:04:20 <Pipian-Lab> But I don't live in East Village so
17:04:45 <Puyopuyo> I don't believe so, but they can be asked.
17:04:57 <Puyopuyo> I need to get this month's Retro Gamer next time I'm at Barnes and Noble...
17:05:15 <Puyopuyo> Anyway, off to class. Woo.
17:59:00 <Pipian-Lab> Note to self: remember to follow DS Homebrew thread for updates on when a 3DS compatible card comes out.
