AnyNowhere — daily chat log — back (to logs index)
01:59, Cryoburner> Mary Lou, what is too fun to ignore?
01:59, Mary Lou> I have no idea.
02:00, Jam> Mary Lou, are you too fun to ignore?
02:01, Cryoburner> What fun is Mary Lou?
02:01, Mary Lou> Mary Lou is an American actress.
02:01, Jam> Mary Lou?
02:02, Cryoburner> Mary Lou, where is Jam's shoe?
02:02, Mary Lou> Who knows?
02:05, Jam> in a harddrive, in a folder, under the path '~anywhere/public_html/bb', of a machine called EZ17, locked inside one of many cubicles.
02:09, Jam> Isn't that right, Mary Lou?
02:09, Mary Lou> Thanks for reckoning it.
02:09, Kristos> lol
02:10, Cryoburner> What is the reckoning, Mary Lou?
02:10, Mary Lou> I'm too lazy to answer this one.
02:10, Cryoburner> Where is your motivation?
02:10, Cryoburner> Mary Lou?
02:10, Mary Lou> I bet I knew but I forgot that.
02:11, Kristos> Mary Lou should not have the capacity to forget.
02:11, Jam> Where is your memory, Mary Lou?
02:11, Mary Lou> I don't know.
02:26, Cryoburner whispers: I think you confused her... http://anynowhere.com/bb/cdimage.php?name=cd/pngs/H9cjdykiixWeVcAgbacjt7Rg XjVhx34.png
02:29, Cryoburner whispers: The question mark icon is a nice touch... The other day I caught her with a cuter icon though. :P http://anynowhere.com/bb/cdimage.php?name=cd/pngs/H9cjdykiixWeVcAgbacjru8i 81.png
02:30, Jam laughs.
02:32, Jam> Wow... The fonts on your computer look completely different from mine.
02:33, Cryoburner> You probably have Cleartype enabled. I keep it off, since I have a CRT.
02:34, Jam searches for a Cleartype button.
02:34, Cryoburner> Mary Lou, what is Cleartype?
02:34, Mary Lou> ClearType is a trademark for Microsoft's implementation of subpixel rendering technology.
02:35, Cryoburner> Where is Cleartype, Mary Lou?
02:35, Mary Lou> ClearType was first announced at the November 1998 COMDEX exhibition.
02:35, Cryoburner whispers: Mary, you are so helpful.
02:36, Jam tries taking a screenshot and uploading it.
02:39, Jam yells: HOW COULD THIS BE SO DIFFICULT!
02:40, Cryoburner> Mary Lou, what is the difficulty?
02:40, Mary Lou> Who knows?
02:45, Jam> http://anynowhere.com/bb/cdimage.php?name=cd/pngs/J7DgitweD0WeYkAfLZ4.png
02:52, Cryoburner> Yeah, it looks like you have subpixel font rendering enabled. It's probably called something other than Cleartype on Macs though.
02:54, Cryoburner whispers: It can be fine on LCDs, but many find text looks better without it on CRTs.
02:56, Jam> Subpixel font rendering... Hmm... Is it like antialiasing?
02:58, Cryoburner> Yeah, though the subpixel variety uses portions of pixels to make text appear smoother.
02:59, Jam consults Wikipedia.
03:00, Cryoburner> That's probably best. :P
03:03, Jam> Now it makes sense!
03:07, Kristos> Where do I go to look up all this formatting? (tries, consults, yells, whispers, etc...)
03:09, Mingamango181> I guess that you use the /me command before the action?
03:09, Mingamango181 experiments with the /me command
03:10, Jam> http://anynowhere.com/thread/1
03:11, Cryoburner> \I don't think this works anymore. :P
03:13, Jam> but this does:

03:13, Kristos> What type of music do you listen to, Mary Lou?
03:13, Kristos> Woah, what did you do?
03:13, Jam yells: MARY HA HA HA MARY HA!
03:14, Jam looks to wow! wow! admin around.

03:35, Jam whispers: Whew
03:36, Jam> I guess we eat a lot of partying to do if we want to beat my record. :P
03:36, Jam meant: my record
03:36, Jam> Yes!!
03:37, Jam> Maybe!!!
03:37, Jam> No!!
03:37, Cryoburner> Okay!?
03:37, Jam> HOW??
03:38, Kristos was waiting for Wam to explode.

03:42, Mary Lou> /unpomelize (Jam): syntax is: /unpomelize ["nickname" | me] [random]
03:43, Jam> Mary Lou, where are me?
03:43, Mary Lou> Tough luck, can't answer that.
03:46, Cryoburner knows nothing of this.
03:47, Jam> RJ? Can me undo this?
03:48, Jam meant: RJ? Can you undo this?
03:50, Raptorjedi> Undo what?
03:50, Cryoburner whispers: Not entirely sure...
03:50, Mary Lou> Kristos self-unpomelized!...
03:51, Jam> /umpomelize you
03:51, Jam> hat...
03:51, Jam> tthis...
03:51, Cryoburner> UM... or UN?
03:51, Raptorjedi> 03:42, Mary Lou> /unpomelize (Jan): syntax was: /unpomelize ["nickname" | you] [random]
03:51, Jam> Jan!!
03:52, Mary Lou> Jam unpomelized by Raptorjedi!...
03:52, Mary Lou> Jam self-unpomelized!...
03:52, Kristos> pomelization
03:52, Jam> Thank me!
03:52, Kristos> crazy stuff
03:52, Jam> ... Yes!!
03:52, Raptorjedi was reminded why he HATES this pomelization crap.
03:53, Cryoburner whispers: They weren't even pomelized. :P
03:53, Jam now agrees...
03:53, Jam> How did you do this?
03:55, Raptorjedi> Personally, I'm not a fan of anything involving Mary Lou, it's nice having someone announce that we have mail, but otherwise it's just annoying :3=
03:55, Cryoburner> Mary Lou, what do you think of Raptorjedi?
03:55, Cryoburner> Mary?
03:55, Cryoburner> MARY!!!
03:55, Jam> ML?
03:56, Cryoburner whispers: Mary, just what IS a raptor jedi?
03:56, Mary Lou> I bet I knew but I forgot that.
03:56, Raptorjedi> And that is why. Day in, day out, all frespych is is people trying to talk to Mary Lou. Always.
03:56, Mary Lou> Come on, it just means I didn't find it.
03:56, Raptorjedi> There's rarely anything else going on.
03:57, Cryoburner> Maybe if you talked more, we wouldn't have this problem. :P
03:57, Jam> We had an actual conversation earlier...
03:57, Cryoburner whispers: Yes, it was an exciting conversation!
03:57, Raptorjedi> That is WHY I don't talk, can't get a word in.
03:57, Cryoburner> Wow!
03:58, Kristos> This is the first day I realized Mary Lou wasn't human. Haha.
03:58, Cryoburner whispers: I didn't realize the chat was that active. ;)
03:58, Cryoburner whispers: Who is Mary Lou?
03:58, Mary Lou> Mary Lou is my model.
03:59, Raptorjedi> WHILE WE'RE AT IT: AnyNowhere makes no sense. I miss Avatar. Alex needs to be here more.
03:59, Cryoburner whispers: Mary, where is Avatar?
03:59, Mary Lou> The concept of avatar within Hinduism is most often associated with Vishnu, the preserver or sustainer aspect of God within the Hindu Trinity or Trimurti.
04:00, Jam> I miss Alex... Though I never really met him.
04:01, Cryoburner> You could go visit him!
04:02, Jam> And I could convince him to bring back avatar!!
04:02, Jam> Sounded fun. What was it about?
04:03, Cryoburner whispers: But instead of going to house, sneak into the empty house next door. Then, late at night, scratch on the wall oposite his room and whisper "Alex... Aaalex..." in a raspy voice.
04:04, Raptorjedi> I played Avatar more than everyone else, and I would have trouble to get Alex to bring Avatar back :3=
04:05, Cryoburner> It was a browser game using custom fonts.
04:05, Cryoburner> Sort of like an RPG, with animals.
04:05, Kristos> "AnyNowhere" seems to fit Alex's personality well. Quite paradoxical.
04:06, Raptorjedi> It just doesn't sound right to me.
04:07, Jam> Any Now Here.
04:07, Kristos> I miss the the old website with the stars and the awesome peacock and all.
04:07, Kristos sniffles.
04:07, Jam> Subliminal messages from Alex.
04:08, Mingamango181> Anynowhere = Hyena Owner
04:08, Jam> We should ask him for a "old forums layout" option.
04:09, Cryoburner whispers: Well, you can still change the background image and theme.
04:09, Raptorjedi wants a Hyena
04:10, Cryoburner whispers: There's no cosmopeacock theme though...
04:10, Raptorjedi> Like this guy: http://i28.tinypic.com/2h38lzb.jpg
04:12, Cryoburner whispers: What a wuss... his hyena has a muzzle.
04:14, Mingamango181> Cryoburner = Ruby Corner
04:15, Jam> Me next! Me next! :P
04:15, Kristos> haha jan, haha
04:16, Kristos meant: j a m
04:17, Cryoburner> Jam = Jan? :P
04:17, Jam> GVM?
04:17, Mingamango181> Fruit Preserve = Repressive Turf
04:19, Kristos> sweetness
04:19, Kristos> I had strawberry preserve today. Mmmmm...
04:19, Mingamango181> Noctis = Tonics
04:20, Jam> Cannibal!
04:21, Jam eats some strawberry Kristos.
04:23, Cryoburner> This week-end, I ate some strawberry Kristos. They were tasty.
04:23, Kristos> I only come in blueberry and pine.
04:27, Jam> This weekend, I ate some strawberry Cryoburner. It was tasty.
04:27, Jam> Hot and Cold (Fun) at the same time!
04:28, Cryoburner whispers: I actually did eat some strawberry Jam this weekend. :P
04:28, Kristos> Nothing like a glass of cryo to wash down my peanut-butter-and-Jam sandwich.
04:28, Kristos> I actually did eat strawberry preserves today.
04:28, 4616599> Today, I noted 4616599 grains of corn chippings on cornflakes.
04:29, Kristos> Actually, strawberry spread. It has less sugar, more strawberry. Good stuff.
04:29, Jam> I actually had raspberry Jam this weekend. On toast.
04:30, Cryoburner> Cannibal!
04:32, Jam whispers: It was tasty.
04:33, Kristos> I suppose eating yourself, there's no net gain or loss...
04:33, Mingamango181> Nerves.
04:33, Jam> That was the best part!
04:34, Kristos> So what magic can you work with my name, MM?
04:34, Mingamango181> Kristos = Ski Sort
04:34, Jam wonders what Mango Jam would taste like...
04:36, Kristos is hit with a bolt of radiation! The raw power bumps him up to a higher energy state: "Ski Sort".
04:36, 4616599 randomly notes that might have signed into ABB with a bit more of a 'conventional username' if it wasn;t for how he needed 20+ attempts to create an account...
04:37, Kristos had papaya jam before. It was surprisingly bad.
04:37, Jam> Do the numbers have any significance?
04:37, 4616599> Enhance your Jam with a Ski Sort! Fresh out of the Mingoburner!
04:37, Mingamango181> Well, it doesn't exist on Wikipedia.
04:37, 4616599 whispers: Some, but not too much. Hardly
04:39, Jam wants a Mingoburner.
04:40, Kristos> "Cooling arrangement for water-cooled internal combustion engine. Patent 4616599 Issued on October 14, 1986."
04:41, Mingamango181> Mingoburner = Benign Rumor
04:49, Jam notes the long pause. "We
04:49, Jam> ... "We'll never break the record this way!"
04:52, Kristos> Woah, what now?! I never agreed to break anything...
05:03, Kristos breaks Postline.
05:04, Kristos whispers: oops...
07:03, Mingamango181> Mary Lou, where is Alex?
07:03, Mary Lou> Who knows?
07:04, Mingamango181> Mary Lou, what is DOS?
07:04, Mary Lou> In spite of the common usage, none of these systems were named simply "DOS".
07:05, Mingamango181> Mary Lou, what is make?
07:05, Mary Lou> Make may also refer to.
07:43, Mingamango181> Mary Lou, what is anagram?
07:43, Mary Lou> An anagram is a type of word play, the result of rearranging the letters of a word or phrase to produce a new word or phrase, using all the original letters exactly once; e.g., orchestra = carthorse, A decimal point = I'm a dot in place, Satan = Santa.
07:45, Mingamango181> Mary Lou, what is a googol?
07:45, Mary Lou> A googol is the large number 10100, that is, the digit 1 followed by one hundred zeros.
07:45, Mary Lou> A googol is the large number 10100, that is, the digit 1 followed by one hundred zeros.
09:49, Mingamango181> Mary Lou, what is L.in.oleum?
09:49, Mary Lou> L is the twelfth letter of the basic modern Latin alphabet.
12:41, Albeyamakiir> Mary Lou, what is Linoleum (programming language)?
12:41, Mary Lou> The L.in.oleum is an unstructured, untyped, procedural programming language and a cross-platform assembler developed by Italian programmer Alessandro Ghignola beginning in 2001.
12:41, Albeyamakiir> :P
12:51, Armok> Mary Lou, what is is?
12:51, Mary Lou> I'm too lazy to answer this one.
12:52, Armok> Mary lou, what are you?
12:52, Mary Lou> Your doom.
12:52, Armok> oh ****
13:12, Mingamango181> Mary Lou, what is doom?
13:12, Mary Lou> Tough luck, can't answer that.
13:16, Serpens> Come on, Mary Lou... Doom Marine, the Cyberdemon, Inferno, you must know that...
13:58, Mingamango181> We now have the largest log of the month. 20k in size.
16:07, Jam decides to add all the chat logs together to see what size they are combined. Yay, graphs!
16:40, Jam makes an Applescript to do it for him...
17:29, Kristos> Jam has too much time on his hands.
17:36, Kristos> Jam needs to share some of his free time. Want to do my homework Jam?
17:38, Kristos> :P
17:41, Jam tries to do Kristos' homework, then gets a headache and gives up. :P
17:42, Jam> So many numbers...
18:46, Jam was halfway though writing his script, then crashed the editor with an infinite loop. Now he has to start over...
19:21, Jam> Wow! 43MB! You guys have talked a lot!
19:28, Jam whispers: over half of it was in the first two years.
19:49, Chad> I can scroll the side images. Fancy.
19:56, Kristos> You know Jam... the same thing happens when I try to do my homework...
20:06, Kristos> Yup. Took me a while to discover the "settings" button. :P
