the lag is quite funny. I'm like, "hey Aaron, wake up, chumpy borked"
21:47:02 [Ash-w]
haha
21:47:03 [sbp]
how can it be more expensive?
21:47:08 [Ash-w]
You think I'm saying "HAHA" irl?
21:47:12 [Ash-w]
ok
21:47:16 [sbp]
you'd better be
21:47:17 [Ash-w]
you two knock it off with your audio
21:47:18 [Ash-w]
hehe
21:47:21 [Ash-w]
this is getting weird
21:47:23 [Ash-w]
it's sbp talking to a ghost
21:47:36 [sbp]
heh, he doesn't know what he's talking about
21:47:56 [sbp]
it's annoying, because I want to talk back
21:48:00 [sbp]
but all I can do is type
21:48:04 [Ash-w]
lol
21:48:20 [sbp]
I scream and scream, but he still can't hear me
21:48:27 [sbp]
my microphone doesn't fecking work
21:48:35 [sbp]
I called them up a while ago, but they couldn't fix it
21:48:47 [sbp]
perhaps I could talk into a box and send it by airmail
21:49:01 [sbp]
it's not the microphone, I think it's the soundcard
21:49:16 [sbp]
or we could tunnel through the earth
21:49:24 [sbp]
and then put a string through the tunnel
21:49:30 [sbp]
so, like, one of those string phones
21:49:36 [sbp]
yeah
21:49:42 [sbp]
you got it!
21:49:54 [sbp]
the problem with those things is that goats tend to eat them
21:50:03 [sbp]
although I was told that they only eat the glue...
21:50:18 [sbp]
no, the tin cans will be at either end
21:50:28 [sbp]
OTOH, haven't you heard of those burrowing goats
21:50:52 [sbp]
come again?
21:51:12 [sbp]
wow, the lag is really bad now
21:51:13 [AaronSw]
"The thing that always strikes me about the backlash against Nelson is that no one is willing to address his points about the disparity between the Web and Xanadu. No one has the intellectual honesty to examine the materials that Nelson has made available‹whether it's in the form of writing, such as Computer Lib/Dream Machines, or in the form of the Xanadu Green or Gold code or the ZigZag code‹and explain why Nelson's specific architectural vision is wrong. All
21:51:13 [AaronSw]
of them stem from the grand American anti-intellectual tradition. All of them argue solely on the basis of the Web's popularity."
21:51:19 [sbp]
ah, thanks

22:11:19 [sbp]
watch those adverts!
22:11:32 [AaronSw]
THIEF!
22:11:59 [sbp]
what if I watch the adverts but resolve never to buy anything? am I a thief then? what about if all the stuff advertised is tacky? what if I already have a car?
22:12:20 [sbp]
what if I don't like X's hamburgers because they contain rat-meat?
22:12:24 [AaronSw]

23:17:12 [AaronSw]
kalti is about news aggregation now?
23:17:22 [Ash-w]
dude, news aggregation is the hot new app
23:17:28 [AaronSw]

Honestly, what's the deal with all these RSS aggregator things for OS X?
23:19:52 [Acapnotic]
I wrote one! though not for OSX, really
23:19:53 [Morbus]
They make your world complete, bitch. How are you going to read 700 channels a day without one?
23:20:04 [Ash-w]

23:31:56 [jillzilla]
Did you have a nice birthday?
23:32:14 [Morbus]
this is all getting too much for me. sniff
23:33:11 [sbp]
yeah, it was pretty cool. I got a Webcam and started taking lots of piccies of random things
23:33:32 [jillzilla]
Nice. I assume you will be putting them on your website so that Googlebot may index them?
23:33:45 [Morbus]
heh, sbp? never :)
23:33:55 [sbp]
er, no
23:34:01 [tav``]
hmz
23:34:09 [jillzilla]
Aw. that's too bad.
23:34:23 [jillzilla]
Google finds many good things, you know. Like that picture of you with the Stallman puppet.
23:34:26 [jillzilla]
hey tav`` !
23:34:46 [tav``]
sbp had a birthday?
23:34:55 [jillzilla]
Why yes, just yesterfay.
23:35:04 [Morbus]
doesn't jill usually use two spaces?
23:35:23 [Morbus]
i mean, between sentences.
23:35:24 [jillzilla]
I'm trying out a new keyboard today.
23:35:28 [sbp]
isn't Morbus usually not someone who comments about spaces?
23:35:30 [tav``]
sbp and the stallman puppet!?!
23:35:35 [tav``]
damn!
23:35:37 [Morbus]
that only lets you type one space at a time?
23:35:59 [AaronSw]
interesting, sbp is no longer the top hit: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22what+are+we+having+for+lunch%3F%22
23:35:59 [Morbus]
sbp turned me into a pedant. <G>
23:36:14 [sbp]
aigh!
23:36:20 [Morbus]
i'm sure that he'll be fucked off about that.
23:36:30 [deltab]
be glad he didn't turn you into a pendant
23:36:33 [jillzilla]
Well it's harder to hit the spacebar on this keyboard so even though I hit it twic it only goes once.
23:36:42 [jillzilla]
and a few other letters are missing, as you can see.
