I was never girly when I was a girl. 23:19:51 <jillzilla> I seem to be coming into a bit of girliness at an advanced age. 23:19:58 <jillzilla> Naturally, I was inspired by the Power Puff Girls. 23:20:07 <sbp> heh, well, better late than never 23:21:01 <jillzilla> * jillzilla wants Morbus to come in so she can put mascara on him. 23:21:10 <jillzilla> * jillzilla braids sbp's hair. 23:21:25 <walloper> <jeremy> Sorry about that. Seems that one of our hubs had a routing glitch, but it seems to have mostly straightened itself out now. We'll probably do some rehubbing in the early morning OPN time, but will stay with this for the time being 23:21:25 <sbp> * sbp resists the urge to "*chuckle*" 23:22:11 <walloper> <jeremy> And thanks for listening to WOPN, your source for OPN news, weather, and traffic information.

In birthstones, pearl is June, ruby is July. When measuring font sizes, pearl is 5pt, ruby is 5.5pt. He thought Ruby was a good name for a programming language newer (and hopefully better) than Perl." 23:26:52 <jillzilla> Awww, that's very fitting with the feminine theme of today's #swhack. 23:27:11 <sbp> heh. let's rename #swhack "#lucy" or something 23:27:22 <jillzilla> yaay! 23:31:37 <AaronSw> .dns 66.140.25.157 23:31:38 <xena> 66.140.25.157 - proxyscan.openprojects.net 23:31:46 <sbp> Hmm.. I just noticed that #swhack is a predominantly male channel (AFAIK) 23:32:42 <AaronSw> counting bots? 23:32:58 <AaronSw> I think OPN is predominantly male. 23:33:15 <sbp> can xena count? I think bots are asexual 23:33:45 <sbp> well, you can never be sure though, can you? 23:33:52 <AaronSw> true. 23:33:54 <sbp> which is a cool thing with IRC 23:34:05 <AaronSw> Heh, OPN reserves the right to ban servers running IIS. 23:44:10 <AaronSw> on the new eMac: "I'm already tired of explaining to enquiring non-nerds that my nerd-friends are Emacs developers, not iMac's developers." 23:44:26 <sbp> heh, heh 23:44:42 <sbp> yeah, doesn't the eMac just make things a bit confusing 23:45:45 <oierw> oierw (~mathew@pcp994425pcs.goosck01.sc.comcast.net) has joined #swhack 23:45:57 <AaronSw> Neat, they use Frutiger for the eMac name 23:46:01 <AaronSw> raph will like that 23:46:09 <sbp> and then there's the Immac... 23:46:13 <AaronSw> Oops, it's Myriad, not Frutiger 23:47:35 <sbp> there should be a sticker on the bottom of the iMac: "Warning! DO NOT attempt to shave your legs with this." 23:48:50 <AaronSw> lol: "In related news, Richard Stallman has insisted that Apple rename its OS X operating system to GNU/OS X. Stallman also called for Apple's renaming of its new eMac computers for education to GNU/eMacs, so as to distinguish it from clones such as X/eMacs." 23:49:24 <sbp> heh, heh 23:50:45 <AaronSw> neat: http://www.apple.com/education/hed/macsinaction/sheffield/ 23:52:00 <sbp> "and skipping over the ocean like a stone" 23:52:04 <sbp> yep, sure is 23:52:12 <AaronSw> I'm off to grab some dinner. laters. 23:52:15 <sbp> c'ya 23:52:20 <sbp> have fun eating stuff 23:57:37 <jillzilla> * jillzilla is intrigued that sbp only just noticed that #swhack is almost entirely male.
