| 03:18:59 [nathanbp] | wow DDR in Madoka Magica |
|---|---|
| 03:19:06 [nathanbp] | I thought that was passe in Japan |
| 03:35:02 [Pipian] | Guess not?? |
| 03:35:12 [Pipian] | I'll katch up on Madoka Magica one of these days |
| 03:35:17 [Pipian] | Where i'm not on fire |
| 03:36:28 [nathanbp] | one of our servers is named fire |
| 03:36:39 [nathanbp] | so we can make horrible puns about people being on fire |
| 03:37:14 [nathanbp] | Madoka 6 was really good |
| 03:38:37 [nathanbp] | I'm guessing that you are not attending this Genericon, Ian? |
| 03:38:41 [Pipian] | No |
| 03:45:42 [Pipian] | I'm tired and have much to do in any case. |
| 03:48:10 [Pipian] | And it's a good thing too |
| 03:48:19 [Pipian] | Otherwise I'd be screwing over my chances to get an internship at Google |
| 03:48:29 [Pipian] | So I'm not at all sorry |

| 07:13:54 [Puyopuyo] | ...and AIM is being difficult again. |
| 07:15:36 [Pipian] | At long last |
| 07:15:45 [Pipian] | That stupid homework is done after unearthing one last race condition |
| 07:15:53 [Pipian] | Leaving me all of |
| 07:15:56 [Pipian] | Tomorrow morning |
| 07:15:59 [Pipian] | To bone up on algorithms |
| 07:16:11 [Pipian] | And data structures |
| 07:16:12 [Puyopuyo] | ...eesh, good luck. |
| 07:16:20 [Pipian] | And various things I deem worth my time for a Google code interview |
| 07:16:57 [Puyopuyo] | Make sure you can solve problems that require creative solutions. |
| 07:18:19 [Pipian] | That's usually the fun one |
| 07:18:41 [Pipian] | The time I have had available to spend on boning up on such is ungodly little |
| 07:18:48 [Pipian] | Which is why I'm worried I'll screw up tomorrow |
| 07:18:51 [Pipian] | This week, I swear |
| 07:21:12 [Puyopuyo] | Ian: |
| 07:21:21 [Puyopuyo] | One, relax. You're obnoxiously smart. |
| 07:21:39 [Puyopuyo] | Two, just show 'em your best. |
| 07:28:51 [Pipian] | That's about all I can do. |
| 07:29:25 [Pipian] | Anyway, I'm off to bed. |
| 07:29:38 [Pipian] | Absurdly busy day tomorrow even without the Google thing. |
| 07:30:39 [Pipian] | (Still working on a fellowship proposal due next Tuesday, starting work on a conference paper due at the end of the month, a social event I really should get out to, and somewhere towards the end of everything, doing a run-through with Scott to make sure that nothing is obviously broken for Saturday.) |
| 07:31:07 [Puyopuyo] | ...what are you doing on Saturday? |
| 07:31:12 [Pipian] | I'm doing nothing |
| 07:31:15 [Pipian] | Scott is running trivia. |
| 07:31:34 [Pipian] | Which should, ideally, not have broken sometime since the last time he played with it. |
| 07:31:47 [Pipian] | (But it may have due to a server move, although I'm pretty sure I fixed everything) |
| 07:32:43 [Pipian] | (But me doing nothing is a lie too, as I will probably be helping to install some hardware for the TV channel in the halls here) |
| 07:33:15 [Pipian] | It's been a busy week. |
| 07:33:22 [Pipian] | But for now, sleep. |
| 07:34:23 [Pipian] | (And no way that homework was getting done by 5 tomorrow without me working on it now so *shrug*) |
| 07:37:47 [Puyopuyo] | Oh well. Night Ian. |
| 15:00:05 [Puyopuyo] | Thanks IceChat. You just nuked my sever settings.l |

| 17:08:45 [Pipian] | Will be interesting to see how it goes |
| 17:59:15 [Puyopuyo] | Not sure if this is for Jenn or just interesting and artsy for Ian: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2011/02/indie-non-euclidean-brilliant-hazard-space-is-meangingless.ars |
| 18:10:37 [nathanbp] | Bizzare |
| 18:17:36 [nathanbp] | haha, it just occurred to me that I'm more comfortable navigating around the Tokyo subway system than the NYC one >_>;; |
| 18:40:32 [Puyopuyo] | Well, yeah. No one's going to ram an HIV infected needle into your arm for shoving them in the Tokyo subway system. |
| 18:45:38 [nathanbp] | well yeah, but I meant more that I actually know my way around the Tokyo one >_> |
| 18:49:56 [nathanbp] | The Madoka mistakes of youth continues to be accurate ( http://www.mistakesofyouth.com/index2.php?id=moy_comics/215/index ) |
| 18:50:22 [nathanbp] | Just needs 3 more panels of "OH DEAR GOD!" |
| 18:51:42 [Puyopuyo] | "It's still cute" |
| 18:52:04 [nathanbp] | It is |
| 18:52:12 [nathanbp] | but it's also still "OH DEAR GOD!" |
| 18:52:46 [Puyopuyo] | Very much so. |
| 18:52:50 [nathanbp] | hmm it's not scheduled for a number of eps yet |
| 18:52:56 [nathanbp] | I suspect 12 or 13 tho |
| 18:53:09 [nathanbp] | (Or really I suspect not 24-26) |
| 18:55:06 [Puyopuyo] | It'd have to be 12-13. |
| 18:55:26 [nathanbp] | it's shaft |
| 18:55:35 [Puyopuyo] | They'd release a second season if they wanted more. |
| 18:55:36 [nathanbp] | they might only get to 10 before they run out of money again |
| 18:55:43 [Puyopuyo] | You're right. |
| 18:56:22 [nathanbp] | we'll know when the screen is black with a single word on it for 10 out of the 25 minutes |
| 18:57:03 [nathanbp] | Ok today's shortpacked is pretty relevant to us: http://www.shortpacked.com/ |
| 19:04:16 [Puyopuyo] | ...I suppose it's bad that I immediately knew what the reference was? |
| 19:07:00 [nathanbp] | yes. |
| 19:07:11 [nathanbp] | do you read three panel soul? |
| 19:09:10 [Puyopuyo] | No. |
| 19:09:14 [Puyopuyo] | I don't read most webcomics anymore. |
| 19:09:19 [Puyopuyo] | They enrage me. |
| 19:10:54 [nathanbp] | even QC? |
| 19:11:09 [Puyopuyo] | Especially QC. |
| 19:12:02 [nathanbp] | :( |
| 19:12:05 [Puyopuyo] | It went from a somewhat silly character-driven webcomic heavy with references to indie music to...a comic with a lot of characters. Who do and say random things. It's like webcomic Seinfeld. |
| 19:12:18 [Puyopuyo] | And I really don't care for Seinfeld. |
| 19:14:37 [nathanbp] | even Dinosaur Comics? |
| 19:15:30 [Puyopuyo] | I don't read that regularly. But you're right that does not fill me with rage. |
| 19:15:43 [Puyopuyo] | *But you're right, that does not fill me with rage. |
| 19:17:24 [nathanbp] | ok, as long as you still like Dinosaur Comics that's ok |
| 19:20:41 [nathanbp] | I'm off to Genericon. This year's goal: don't get lost trying to get to the albany train station |
| 19:20:45 [nathanbp] | cya |
| 19:45:05 [Puyopuyo] | Later Nathan. |
| 22:45:40 [Pipian-Lab] | We will see if Scott actually does give me the 45 minute headsup I asked him to give me. |
| 22:46:02 [Puyopuyo] | One can only hope so. |
| 22:46:26 [Pipian-Lab] | I sent him a single SMS |
| 22:46:32 [Pipian-Lab] | It's up to him to interpret it. |
| 22:47:01 [Puyopuyo] | Is this one of your NO VOWELS SMS? |
| 22:47:36 [Pipian-Lab] | It had some vowels |
| 22:47:57 [Pipian-Lab] | I'm trying to recall the most egregious one |
| 22:48:40 [Pipian-Lab] | This was (and I quote) |
| 22:49:10 [Pipian-Lab] | FYI (in 1 $M$), plz plan on call/Skype for testing trivia aft. 11PM & give me >45 min. heads-up by SMS before it. (I will be AFK) Thx. |
| 22:50:31 [Puyopuyo] | ...that one's more legible than most. |
| 22:52:37 [Pipian-Lab] | I like to think so |
| 22:53:35 [Pipian-Lab] | I don't know who I sent the no-vowels SMS |
| 22:53:41 [Pipian-Lab] | So I can't find it :-x |
| 22:56:38 [Puyopuyo] | ...Jenn, wasn't it? Back at Anime Boston? |
| 22:56:51 [Pipian-Lab] | Hm |
| 22:58:12 [Pipian-Lab] | Must have been on an old phone *shrug* |
| 22:58:13 [Pipian-Lab] | Hah |
| 22:58:19 [Pipian-Lab] | Didn't realize Arduinos were so cheap |
| 23:00:51 [Puyopuyo] | Yeah, they've been getting cheaper. |
| 23:00:52 [Pipian-Lab] | Almost makes me want to think of things to do with it. |
| 23:00:59 [Puyopuyo] | My micro-controller skills suck though. |
| 23:01:26 [Pipian-Lab] | I'd heard the name bandied about for a while |
| 23:01:40 [Pipian-Lab] | But ignored it due to assuming the entry cost was still too high |
| 23:02:39 [Puyopuyo] | Heh |
| 23:02:48 [Pipian-Lab] | Last I'd (briefly) looked, they were about the cost of a gumstix board |
| 23:02:52 [Puyopuyo] | The name bandying is from the reasonable price. |
| 23:02:58 [Pipian-Lab] | Which at $100 for just the base-board |
| 23:03:03 [Pipian-Lab] | Was a little bit on the expensive side |
| 23:03:42 [Pipian-Lab] | Add on (say) an extra expansion board and you're already looking at the cost of a netbook, which could probably do a bit more for the same price. |
| 23:04:07 [Puyopuyo] | True. |
| 23:06:08 [Pipian-Lab] | But at <$50 for a board you can actually start doing stuff with |
| 23:06:17 [Pipian-Lab] | Now you're talking |
| 23:06:52 [Pipian-Lab] | Now it's fair that Gumstix has its place (It's presumably more general purpose) |
| 23:06:54 [Pipian-Lab] | But still |
| 23:10:34 [Pipian-Lab] | Anyway |
| 23:10:42 [Pipian-Lab] | I'm heading out for home for a bit |
| 23:10:46 [Pipian-Lab] | And then I'll be off again. |
| 23:10:54 [Puyopuyo] | All righty, have a good evening. |
| 23:11:27 [Pipian-Lab] | Hope to |
| 23:11:42 [Pipian-Lab] | End of a busy week. Still some trailing stuff to be done this weekend, but most of the hectic stuff is done. |
| 23:11:54 [Puyopuyo] | Good to hear. |
| 23:12:00 [Puyopuyo] | Hope your fellowship works out. |
| 23:12:05 [Pipian-Lab] | Hope it does too. |
| 23:12:11 [Pipian-Lab] | Still need to finish paperwork for it though. |
