For sure.

What was the vegemite challenge all about?
15:50:36 [AaronSw]
Well, in the first RDF WG, they had folks from Netscape, Microsoft, etc. and it was sort of hard to get them to agree.
15:51:13 [AaronSw]
So Eric dared them that if they finished he'd eat a spoonful of vegemit (which he absolutely hates)
15:51:21 [AaronSw]
They closed issues so quickly that day!
15:51:44 [AaronSw]
Eric ate the vegemite, turned green, threw up multiple times, etc.
15:51:56 [AaronSw]
So now it's Brian's turn, he says. ;-)

Have they got to the cyclic transitive relationships thing yet?
20:20:23 [sbp]
Oh, they just did it...
20:23:06 [AaronSw]
;-)
20:23:33 [AaronSw]
Pizza is something they can all agree on.
20:23:52 [sbp]
Ooh, pizza

logger, off
20:29:46 [AaronSw]
logster, off
20:46:23 [sbp]
yeah, I agree (to nothing in particular if you're reading the logs)
20:46:49 [sbp]
but there are other April fools RFCs, so perhaps more occurances

21:54:54 [sbp]
Yeah!

[ daml:intersectionOf (:Male :Person :Jew :SWDeveloper :American) ] .
21:56:05 [sbp]
Hmm... how many people could satisfy that description?
21:57:31 [sbp]
Shame we don't have an SW on which to run the query :-)
21:57:43 [AaronSw]
:-)
22:01:03 [sbp]
where does the pickle Python library come from? Is it built in?
22:02:04 [sbp]
Hmm... yes, it is
22:07:12 [AaronSw]
Ooh, you were right.
22:07:17 [AaronSw]

Hey, I just had a thought:
22:25:11 [AaronSw]
If I edit the RDF spec, we could write it in xWebL!

Hey, I just had a thought:
22:27:59 [AaronSw]
If I edit the RDF spec, we could write it in xWebL!
22:28:01 [sbp]
It worked, and I'm quite impressed
22:28:04 [sbp]
Heh!

http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?IckyWiki
22:28:19 [AaronSw]
heh
22:29:19 [AaronSw]
ickwiki: cool
22:29:22 [sbp]
It'd be neater if it formatted e.g. string.replace(w,'\n\n','<br /><br />'), but since I haven't got a clue what it's doing
22:29:39 [sbp]
I'm not gonna be the one to mess it up :-)
22:29:58 [sbp]
Plus, it seems to be winning the shortest Wiki thing
22:32:26 [AaronSw]

Red Dwarf quote:-
22:38:33 [sbp]
Love is what makes us different from animals, Lister.
22:38:34 [sbp]
No, what makes us different from animals is that we don't use our tongues to clean our own genitals.
22:38:37 [sbp]
[end quote]
22:38:56 [sbp]
Last time, Lister, I only failed by the narrowest of narrow margins.
22:38:56 [sbp]
You what? You went in there, wrote "I am a fish" four hundred times, did a funny little dance, and fainted.
22:39:00 [sbp]
[end quote]
22:39:22 [sbp]
I wrote "I am a fish" ahundereds of times in an exam once just for a laugh. Didn't faint at the end though (maybe I did a mock one)
22:39:35 [sbp]
I think I did a similar thing with "Screw Flanders" too
22:39:39 [AaronSw]
heh

All in all, a hundred percent successful trip.
22:40:31 [sbp]
But sir, we lost mister Rimmer!
22:40:31 [sbp]
All in all, a hundred percent successful trip.

I could replicate my Webpage across the world, reducing the need for storage space
22:46:48 [AaronSw]
err, wouldn't you be increasing it?
22:47:00 [sbp]
Aha! That must be how viruses start out. a) with the idea in the line above, b) with the knowhow to do it, and c) nuts enough to carry it through
22:47:09 [sbp]
thankfully, I only have a)
22:47:28 [sbp]
Nah, because I'd be using other people's storage space, which doesn't count
22:47:50 [AaronSw]
...signs of a virus-maker
22:48:23 [sbp]
:-)
22:48:40 [sbp]
Wasn't one of the biggest viruses of all time accidental?
22:48:56 [AaronSw]
the worm?... that's a matter of controversy
22:50:22 [sbp]
isn't everything?
