| 00:16 | < Rhamphoryncus> | I'll second that OS X might deliberately delete .py files.. not that there's a lot of point, but they might |
| 00:22 | < Derakon[work]> | Well, as I said, they are technically a waste of space. |

| 20:19 | <@AnnoDomini> | Consul: I expect we'll get notified, through PMs on logon. |
| 20:19 | < Consul> | Yeah, I suppose so. |
| 20:40 | <@MyCatVerbs> | marco |
| 20:40 | < Consul> | polo? |
| 20:41 | <@MyCatVerbs> | Thank you, Consul, for making my little sister giggle. |
| 20:41 | < Consul> | Heh |
| 20:41 | <@MyCatVerbs> | If you ever do meet her, remind her that she owes you a cookie. |
| 20:42 | < Consul> | Umm, if I ever meet her, I'll probably be questioned by police. :-P |
| 20:42 | <@MyCatVerbs> | oO |
| 20:42 | < Consul> | Okay, that joke didn't work so well... |
| 20:43 | <@MyCatVerbs> | Aww, don't worry. ^^ |
| 20:44 | <@MyCatVerbs> | Wait, hang on, what were you implying exacyly? Why would the police chase you? |
| 20:44 | < Consul> | You see, it's the whole "over the Internet" thing. |
| 20:44 | < Consul> | The idea of meeting an underaged girl I know through the Internet. |
| 20:44 | <@MyCatVerbs> | Ah. Fair enough. |
| 20:44 | < Consul> | You see, if it's a neighbor, it's fine, but over the Internet, it's evil. |
| 20:45 | <@MyCatVerbs> | ...does 16 still count as underage? |
| 20:45 | < Consul> | And now I'm making myself sound like I'm on a register. |
| 20:45 | <@Derakon> | Yep. |
| 20:45 | < Consul> | I'd better stop now. |
| 20:45 | <@Derakon> | You don't start being able to defend yourself from predators until you're 18, in the USA. |
| 20:45 | <@MyCatVerbs> | Damn. Now how will I give you a cookie? |
| 20:46 | <@MyCatVerbs> | Ah, right. You're across the pond then. |
| 20:46 | < Consul> | Yep |
| 20:47 | < Consul> | It's 17 in England, right? |
| 20:47 | <@AnnoDomini> | Meeting people from the Internet is perfectly okay. |
| 20:47 | <@MyCatVerbs> | Hmm... Aloowed to have sex at 16, smoke and drink at 18. |
| 20:48 | <@AnnoDomini> | I've had perfect results so far, though I guess my cross-section of people includes pretty much only roleplayers. |
| 20:48 | <@MyCatVerbs> | Yeah, role players are awesome. ^^ |
| 20:48 | < Consul> | Oh, I've not met anyone I'm uncomfortable with either. |
| 20:48 | <@MyCatVerbs> | AAaaaaaaagh, shtishitshithsithsit. |
| 20:48 | < Consul> | Hopefully others say the same about me. |
| 20:48 | <@MyCatVerbs> | Protip: don't leave your computer logged in to IRC around your little sister. |
| 20:48 | < Consul> | Whowha? |
| 20:49 | | * MyCatVerbs is mortified; dies of shame. |
| 20:49 | | * Derakon quirks an eyebrow. |
| 20:49 | <@AnnoDomini> | Oh, I did meet someone I'm uncomfortable with. |
| 20:49 | <@AnnoDomini> | Somehow, we really don't take to each other IRL, but do fine on IRC. |
| 20:49 | | * MyCatVerbs reads the upscroll carefully. |
| 20:50 | <@MyCatVerbs> | Doesn't seem like my reputation has gogtten any worse now. |
| 20:50 | < Consul> | Okay, what just happened? |
| 20:50 | <@MyCatVerbs> | Consul: sixteen year old girl (who bakes for fun) on my keyboard. |
| 20:50 | <@AnnoDomini> | How much of your previous lines are from her? :P |
| 20:50 | <@AnnoDomini> | *many |
| 20:51 | < Consul> | She started with the "marco" thing, didn't she? |
| 20:51 | <@MyCatVerbs> | Indeed, she did. Everything between that and the "Aaaaagh, shit." |
| 20:52 | < Consul> | Ha! |
| 20:52 | <@AnnoDomini> | She types passably. :p |
| 20:52 | < Consul> | Hey, I'm still the one who managed to make a highly inappropriate joke that didn't work. |
| 20:54 | < Consul> | Talk about reputation... |
| 20:54 | < Consul> | I'll probably be shown a log of this conversation later, down at the station. |
| 20:56 | <@MyCatVerbs> | Actually, she types accurately but like crap. |
| 20:56 | <@MyCatVerbs> | At some point I'm gogingg to threaten her with a spork until she consents to learn to touch type. |
| 20:57 | <@MyCatVerbs> | But she's grateful for the compliment. ^^ |
| 20:57 | <@MyCatVerbs> | BRB, going to the moon. (For bacon.) |
| 20:58 | < Alek> | getting it from the flying pigs? |
| 20:58 | <@AnnoDomini> | Accurately but like crap is how I used to type before learning to TT. |
| 20:58 | < Consul> | I two-finger type at about 60WPM. |
| 20:59 | < Alek> | I type in a combination of hunt and TT. |
| 20:59 | < Consul> | Many a coder has looked on in disbelief at my typing. |
| 20:59 | < Alek> | mostly my index fingers (and thumbs for space) but I press-gang the others into service when needed. |
| 20:59 | < Alek> | and yes, 60+. >_> |
| 20:59 | < Alek> | I took a typing test just this week. a formal one, for a job. :P |
| 21:00 | <@AnnoDomini> | My speed isn't very great, since I read what I write and make corrections as I go, rethink my lines, etcetera. |
| 21:00 | <@AnnoDomini> | I think I'll try a typing test now, one of the online ones. |
| 21:00 | < Alek> | I find it tends to go better when I look away from keyboard and what I'm typing on the screen. |
| 21:00 | < Alek> | only glance at what I'm typing on the screen every few moments. |
| 21:01 | < Alek> | just to double-check accuracy. |
| 21:01 | < Alek> | what I've ALREADY typed is fine, though. :P |
| 21:01 | < Alek> | it's only when I'm looking at what I'm still typing that I tend to make mistakes. |
| 21:01 | <@McMartin> | It's been a good long time since I last took an actual typing test. |
| 21:01 | < Alek> | heh. |
| 21:02 | < Alek> | I've gotten better over the years. |
| 21:02 | < Alek> | back in HS I topped at 30-35. |
| 21:02 | < Alek> | at the beginning of this year I did 55. which REALLY shocked me. >_> |
| 21:02 | < Alek> | and now, 62. :P |
| 21:02 | <@Derakon> | Last time I took a test I was at 108WPM, touchtyping. |
| 21:02 | < Alek> | ... |
| 21:02 | < Alek> | my main speed bump is the size of my fingers. |
| 21:03 | < Alek> | and my overall lack of dexterity. |
| 21:03 | <@AnnoDomini> | Okay, first test 62 WPM with 1 mistake. |
| 21:03 | < Alek> | I miskey and two-key too often. -_- |
| 21:03 | < Alek> | and miss hitting a button sometimes. :P |
| 21:03 | < Alek> | this is why I prefer solid, clicky keyboards to flat or virtual ones. |
| 21:04 | < Alek> | it provides VERY useful feedback. |
| 21:04 | < Consul> | Me, too. I miss my old UBM hard touch. |
| 21:04 | < Consul> | IBM |
| 21:04 | < Alek> | hee. |
| 21:04 | < Consul> | I hate this keyboard. |
| 21:04 | < Alek> | and yes, that's a COMMON miskey - that region in general. |
| 21:05 | <@AnnoDomini> | 67 WPM with no mistakes on second. |
| 21:06 | < Consul> | Maybe I should finally learn touch typing. |
| 21:06 | < Consul> | It seems kinda pointless, now. |
| 21:08 | <@AnnoDomini> | 67 with 1 mistake on third. |
| 21:08 | <@AnnoDomini> | I had no idea impetuous was spelled with two u's. |
| 21:09 | <@AnnoDomini> | What I'd really wish to learn is to read as fast as a Norwegian I know. He's reads several thousand words per minute. |
| 21:44 | <@AnnoDomini> | Hmmm. According to Wikipedia's article on typing, I don't really follow the conventional way of typing. |
| 21:45 | <@AnnoDomini> | My left hand does its job mostly how it's meant, but I pretty much only use my index finger on the right. |
| 21:45 | <@AnnoDomini> | Maybe it's because I'm not using a QWERTY keyboard. |

| 21:52 | | * AnnoDomini falls into a Wiki chain trap. |
| 21:52 | <@AnnoDomini> | RSVP is interesting. |
| 21:52 | <@Vornicus> | My "home row" has the right hand shifted to the left, and I use my right thumb on hte ,./ keys. |
| 21:53 | <@AnnoDomini> | I use my right thumb for RAlt for Polish diacritics, and sometimes for Space. |
| 21:55 | <@AnnoDomini> | I think I did something like RSVP earlier today when I wanted to find a certain motivational poster in my collection, and ended up looking at the space where the title would be, and rapidly pressing Space in Irfan View. |
| 22:00 | <@AnnoDomini> | Heh. I stumbled upon a speed-reading site that has "Learn To Read" in the frontpage logo. |
| 22:00 | <@AnnoDomini> | Now, don't you think that advertising is a little misplaced? :P |
| 22:01 | <@AnnoDomini> | Sort of like a commercial targetting the Amish on TV. :p |
| 22:02 | <@AnnoDomini> | Reminds me of a conversation I had with Erik in Oslo. We were going around bookstores, looking for new and interesting books. |
| 22:02 | <@AnnoDomini> | Unfortunately, most of what we found was - as Erik called it - "books for people who don't read". |

| 23:12 | <@AnnoDomini> | How do you make the page number appear only on some pages, in OO? |
| 23:15 | <@Vornicus> | "only on some pages" how? |
| 23:16 | <@AnnoDomini> | I don't want it to appear on the title page, for instance. |
| 23:16 | <@AnnoDomini> | In fact, I want numbering to start on page 3. |
| 23:16 | <@AnnoDomini> | Uh, I mean, page 3 |
| 23:16 | <@AnnoDomini> | Uh, I mean, page 3 - displays 3. Before that, nothing. |
| 23:18 | <@Vornicus> | Okay. Usually in Word you'd have the title page etc be a different "section" - I don't know what the equivalent in OO is. |
