<@Chalain>
LOL... Nightstar *does* need an official chet channel, Vornicus-Latens.
05:01
<@Chalain>
Though, not to put the cart before the horse, I suppose first we need an official Chet.
05:02
<@Reiver>
Hi Chalain!
05:02
<@Reiver>
Did you get it updated okay?
05:02
<@Chalain>
The comic? Yeah, did it all with handwavium.
05:02
<@Reiver>
Excelent.
05:03
<@Reiver>
How's you, lad?
05:03
<@Chalain>
I need to poke around in the webserver's guts. The old webserver had a broken cron daemon. The new one... hmm... it would be pretty cool if the fricking webserver could update, you know, ITSELF
05:03
<@Reiver>
...Quite...
05:03 * Reiver huggles Chalain.
05:03 * Chalain squirmles.
05:03
<@Reiver>
<non sequitor> Hey, do you guys have kiwifruit?
05:03
<@Chalain>
Imported, yes.
05:04
<@Reiver>
Some places in the states seem to have it, others don't...
05:04
<@Reiver>
Aha.
05:04
<@Reiver>
Do you like it?
05:04
<@Chalain>
<non-non-sequitur> Any news on your CS class?
05:04
<@Reiver>
I got a B-! ...1% off a B, too. *twitch*
05:04
<@Reiver>
But yes, that's a healthy pass. 64%. :-)
05:04
<@Chalain>
I dunno, really. I guess so. It's not something I go out of my way to procure, but if someone else has put it on a skewer with other stuff, I'll eat it and generally find it tasty.
05:05
<@Chalain>
AWESOME!!!!
05:05 * Chalain does the happy dance.
05:05
<@Reiver>
Yes!!
05:05
<@Reiver>
I got 48% for the code.
05:05
<@Chalain>
Cool
05:05
<@Reiver>
Which, given it didn't actually work, I am not complaining!
05:05
<@Chalain>
LOL
05:06
<@Chalain>
Did it not run in the lab?
05:06
<@Reiver>
Oh, it ran.
05:06
<@Reiver>
Just I never plugged the backend into Swing right.
05:06
<@Chalain>
Oh, just not feature complete. Heh.
05:06
<@Chalain>
Ohhh.
05:06 BlueTiger [BlueTiger@Nightstar-15777.we.res.rr.com] has quit [Quit: ]
05:06
<@Reiver>
So basically got all my marks in backend
05:06
<@Chalain>
So it ran, it just didn't work... :-)
05:06
<@Reiver>
And flunked the frontend/completion marks.
05:06 * Chalain nods.
05:06 M-work is now known as Mahal
05:07
<@Reiver>
This meant I got enough to give a passing grade, though, and a not bad one at that.
05:07
<@Chalain>
Hey, I say take what you can get and run with it. :-)
05:07
<@Chalain>
Yeah
05:08 * Pi is happy.
05:09
<@Pi>
I can finally say, after 6 years of being a professional software developer, that I have shipped a nontrivial project.
05:09
<@Reiver>
Vista isn't trivial?
05:09 * Reiver FLEE
05:09
<@Pi>
Well, I could say it before.
05:10
<@Pi>
Reiver - Well, in terms of lines of code, complexity, or any other metric you care to name, it's pretty much the largest software project ever driven to completion in the history of computers. So maybe it's trivial, and the world hasn't seen a nontrivial program yet.
05:10
<@Chalain>
Actually, the best thing about kiwis is their involvement in a story my mom loves to tell. She went to the grocery store and didn't get a cart. The first thing she picked up was a kiwi, and carried it around in her hand through the store. She didn't find anything else she wanted, so after 20 minutes or so she walked up to the cashier. Said cashier was talking to another employee and looking away, but saw Mom reach over, so she held out her hand.
05:10
<@Chalain>
Mom dropped this soft, brown, furry, and after 20 minutes in Mom's hand, WARM object into her hand. The cashier screamed and flung the kiwi across the store. She thought Mom had handed her a live mouse.
05:10 * Reiver nods to Pi.
05:10
<@Reiver>
...
05:10 * Reiver falls over giggling.
05:10 * Chalain happies at Pi re:Vista.
05:10
<@Reiver>
That's brililant, Chalain.
05:11
<@Chalain>
THAT's a shippit award you'll be able to shwo off.
05:11
<@Pi>
Almost didn't get one of those, actually.
05:11
<@Chalain>
Why not?
05:11
<@Pi>
They decided that the only people who get shipits are those who have been on the project since at least beta 1.
05:11
<@Chalain>
Are they cutting them out?
05:11
<@Chalain>
Oh.
05:12
<@Pi>
My first day (17 months ago) was two weeks before B1 shipped.
05:12
<@Chalain>
Wow.
05:12
<@Reiver>
Woe!
05:12
<@Reiver>
That would have been painful.
05:13
<@Pi>
I have three co-workers who have been working for a significant amount of time who do not qualify.
05:13
<@Pi>
(three just on my immediate team)
05:13
<@Chalain>
Ouch.
05:14
<@Pi>
I have no idea why they instituted that rule. Usually it's one whole product cycle or 12 months, whichever is longer.
05:14
<@Pi>
s/longer/shorter/
05:14 * Chalain nods
05:14
<@Pi>
But for a 5yr product cycle, it seems pretty crappy that they would shut out people who have been here 15 months.
05:14
<@Chalain>
Yeah
05:15
<@Chalain>
Gnnngh. The sleeping pills I took are starting to disembark at my cerebral cortex. I'm gonna head to bed... Pi--do you get any time off now that Vista's out?
05:16
<@Pi>
I personally have about 7 days of vacation saved up right now.
05:16
<@Pi>
Beyond that, Allchin has decreed that the entire week of Thanksgiving will be time off. (Usually we just get the two days)
05:16 * Reiver approve!
05:16 * Reiver also wishes Chalain a good nights sleep.
05:16
<@Pi>
As it is, I have been working on SP1 tasks for about two weeks now.
