This room was placed in timeout for 10 seconds; the topic of this room is "Here we have our fill of bread and wine, and then tell of tales of other times we've had our fill of bread and wine." - conversation should be limited to that topic.

Behind you! A three-headed monkey! runs
 
what are we in grade school?
 
Abuse of powers. Definitely shifty. (;
 
and how can a general chat room every get off topic
 
@balpha Ahhhhh... jumping neurotic monkeys!! Run!!!
 
We weren't talking about being drunk and full
Shame on us.

either way i say we try and get someone drunk next week
 
Hahah :P
 
haha yes ... i also vote we trick someone into drinking kirschwasser
 
Three cheers for Tim Stone!

is now full
 
Excellent!
If that's a perpetual sort of fullness, I assume that means that I'm always on topic. Very good.
 
merging?

Q: Why so many chats?

Jon BThis question made me wonder why each site has its own chat. Since chat features multiple rooms, it already handles multiple topics and sub-communities. The problem with multiple chat sites is that you might not be able to find what you're looking for, or you might be unsure which room in which...

 
That question is stupid.
But I couldn't think of a more constructive way to say that.
 
I'd start with adding a verb.
 
in Thoughts on merging on Server Fault Chat, 1 hour ago, by Zypher
@marc will comment further when i get to the office ... but i know where you live next week im just sayin ...
^^ that's my way of saying it
 
@rchern Hah :P
 
shrugs
 
3:12 PM
@rchern "Why shrugs so many chats?" isn't so much better
 
<_<
 
lol
can we just insert serious and be done with it?
 
@Zypher All of y'all together scare me. Like, it might cause a catastrophic disaster. Or a seismic shift in the world as we know it. (;
@YiJiang "are there"
 
@rchern but that's what makes working here fun :-D
 
Maybe I'll try to formulate a better reply later, but essentially the small sites being combined into chat.SE makes sense: People who participate in those sites are likely the kind of people who might be motivated to branch out to other sites based on what they see in chat, so there's benefit in exposing them to everything at once. I really don't see that happening if you shove the remaining sites into chat.SE, and if there's no benefit in putting them together, then why bother doing it? :P
 
3:16 PM
@Zypher mm (:
 
I'm sure as hell not going to join the Super User chat just because it appears on chat.SE. cough
@Zypher Except for the rest of us, when the world ends.
 
haha ... i'm sure we'll save a few select uses ... ooo THAT's the new 20k feature
"well save you we we accidentally destroy the world"
 
@rchern This is good though, they'll be distracted, giving us even more opportunity to do blasphemous things with the userscripts.
 
and ... if you think what we do on the public chats is bad ...
 
Hahah, your life for 20K.
 
3:18 PM
@Zypher Damn. I've got a long way to go. Can you perhaps delay until 2013?
 
2012 is all i can promise @rchern
 
December 31st, 2012?
 
@Zypher Wow, threats would be a great way to generate new traffic! "Look, nobody's making you use SO or register for an account, but you're not marked as a friendly by Skynet until you reach 20k. Just saying."
 
@rchern I'm working on a secret SEModifications feature that will make unwitting high-rep users automatically award us 500 point bounties every day, it'll be ready in six to eight weeks...is that soon enough?
 
@Zypher hehehe I can only imagine. To be the proverbial fly on the wall. q:
@TimStone put a rush on it!
 
3:20 PM
Rovio!
 
@PopularDemand because obviously skynet will be linked to SO to learn the best ways to accomplish certain tasks ... like Ender's Game?
 
The plot of Harry Potter sounds extra-ridiculous when it's read by a "regular" announcer on the radio (as opposed to an announcer for a toy commercial or something).
 
@drachenstern damnit ... we gotta go deorbit our training facility now
 
@drachenstern All this time I was worried about those damn AI researchers who think they know better than every AI movie ever made....When I really should have been afraid of the huge knowledge store I was helping to create that would power such a rogue intelligence. What have I done‽
 
Does MSO need a new logo? We're getting more and more SO questions there. I haven't seen that happen on other SE sites.
 
3:25 PM
I just don't see enough quality pop-culture (ok, pop-nerd-culture) references to Ender's Game
 
@PopularDemand SO also gets lots of MSO questions - it's just the amount of traffic that a certain percent of people don't read
 
i think the story in the book is too heavy to make for good pop-nerd-culture fodder
 
@PopularDemand it's because it's like when you goto WalMart and instead of checking out up front goto the empty Customer Service area and get checked out (or Jewelry if nobody is there) ... or am I the only one that short circuits that process?
 
i mean ... make a reference about Enders game ... sooo you support genocide?
 
@drachenstern It's true. But it's hard to find places to make good references.
 
3:26 PM
@Zypher true, I like where you're going with that, but I meant the part about the kid totally being screwed over and used by the authorities
or maybe I just mean I want to go live in an orbiting space station and play tag in a zerog room
 
oh well don't we all ?
(tag not genocide)
 
Good morning everyone...
 
'Ello
 
It's always orbiting space stations people talk about. What about people who get queasy easily? I could go for an orbiting ground station. That could be fun.
 
shame we're not all 12 anymore, cos I imagine playing it at 31 would be painful
 
3:28 PM
Welcome to our world of impending misery and doom. Won't you take a seat?
 
@PopularDemand lmao
 
@TheUnhandledException You know, when I get back to Nanjing next month I should totally go and find the vending machines
 
say what?
 
@YiJiang HAHA! Remember Pics or it didn't happen ;-)
 
@drachenstern I think it's a little hard pressed to find 12 year olds reading Ender's Game
 
3:29 PM
@YiJiang Talking about food makes me hungry.
 
@rchern when you're around let me know; I need to talk to you for a moment...
 
Sounds ominous. I'm not here.
Wait, dammit!
 
@YiJiang You didn't grow up about geeky-enough people.
 
I hereby declare that backwardsmile.info was my final joke at your expense, the finishing touch, the final edition, the Coup de grâce! From here on I shall focus my efforts elsewhere and free you from my wisecracks. And of course I hope you know it's all be in fun, no harm was ever intended!
You must have some cosmic justice that follows you @rchern... last night after purchasing backwardsmile.info I quit to make dinner and enjoy a relaxing night and watch a movie. However the karma I had accumulated from my little prank struck back.
 
o:
 
3:30 PM
that's what I said... ;-)
My garbage disposal clogged up the entire sink, creating a giant mess of partially ground lettuce to infest the entire sink area covering all my clean dishes. It required me to disassemble the entire drainage system of the sink which took hours, during which time I burned my lasagne and in the end didn not have enough time for the full movie.
 
oh that sucks
 
So. I take the great misfortune which fell upon me as a sign from the great Ring 0 Gods that @rchern is not to be triffeld with! I have been punished for my transgressions and have recanted! Oh, and also, I am now officially afraid if you (-;
 
.....Wow, that's really sucky. :/
 
Wow, no wonder Mrozek is scared of rchern!
 
3:31 PM
oy.
 
I didn't know she could get back at us in our own homes..
 
This calls for a bookmark!
 
@TheUnhandledException question for you though, my garbage disposal is making a somewhat scary clicking sound when I turn it on, any advice?
 
promptly shuts his mouth
 
@PopularDemand Yes: Don't mess with @rchern

And remove the spoon that's stuck inside ;-)
 
LOL
 
@TheUnhandledException I've looked in there, there's nothing I can see.
 
I'm harmless. Really.
 
Sounds like a job for diy.stackexchange.com!
 
3:32 PM
@PopularDemand In seriousness, does it sound like it's not turning?
 
@rchern I think it's safe to err on the side of caution and assume you're lying, just in case. :P
 
@TheUnhandledException No, it sounds like someone dropped a screw in a tin can and started shaking it.
 
Hmmmm... That I'm not sure of...
 
@TimStone It's still in beta, and I don't think this is an expert-level question.
 
there's something in there...
 
3:34 PM
@PopularDemand Fair enough, I like that we can say there's a Stack Exchange for that.
 
if it doesn't turn and just clicks, look for a crank on the bottom to manually turn it. But for you @PopularDemand, I agree with @Fosco, you have something in there it can't dispose of
 
I've never been to that one, so I don't even know what's on-topic there anyway :P

(I will say that I am pleased with the questions on Home Improvement SE even though I don't participate there or know anything about construction. Mostly because I don't understand a fair number of the titles.)
 
3:38 PM
@rchern Yeah, well once she says that I'll get struck by lightning. (Runs for cover)
 
so @rchern, can we agree to be friends again? (-:
I honestly didn't mean any harm!
 
hehehe
Y'all are crazy. You know that right?
 
@rchern Wait a minute, did you mess with my disposal pre-emptively for that Unix profile?
 
@PopularDemand then it could be a loose screw seriously enough
 
@PopularDemand OY
 
3:40 PM
@PopularDemand I've said it before and I'll say it again: Yes, I know I am certifiably insane
 
@drachenstern Yeah, that's what I was thinking, but I was really hoping I was wrong.
 
@rchern @PopularDemand Oh dear. Run for your lives! She's gonna blow!
 
@PopularDemand WOAH, your disposal runs linux??? Where can I buy one of those?

3:44 PM
@PopularDemand so honestly they're not that hard to work on
 
@TheUnhandledException teehee
 
oh crap, I can see I'm going to derail the fun conversation here by being SRS
 
Hooray, my probably terrible wireless headphones are on the way.
 
@drachenstern, please do derail the convo (;
 
@TimStone from whom?
@rchern I'm trying! :p
 
3:45 PM
@drachenstern I've got some lolcat images on standby if you want me to use them
 
@TimStone That's a strange message :-)
 
@YiJiang do they involve garbage disposals?
 
@drachenstern I had a lot of Coke Reward points that were about to expire....so I went with the shiniest thing I could get. :P
 
@TheUnhandledException Okay, but it's really hard to find the "download" link under all these "JavaScript error, do you wish to debug?" messages and popup ads.
 
@Tim reminds me of:
 
3:46 PM
@drachenstern No, but I'm pretty sure there are some somewhere on the intertubes
 
@TimStone yeah they'll be crappy
 
@TheUnhandledException Heheh :P
 
@TheUnhandledException hehe
 
Hello
 
@PopularDemand No problem. What's your email address? I'll send it to you directly. Oh, I'll also throw in some great free offers for male enhancement! You'll be very thankful.
 
3:47 PM
@drachenstern They're free though, since I was going to drink the soda anyway, so it's cool.
 
@TimStone true
 
@TheUnhandledException Are you... are you coming on to me? @rchern, you are now only the second-scariest person here.
 
@YiJiang um, to derail something it had to be on the rails in the first place...
I think I recall seeing the rails a couple of months ago
 
@PopularDemand \o/
 
3:49 PM
@PopularDemand lmao
 
@radp Oh, please tell me the chat is written in Ruby on Rails!
 
@radp I thought the room was less than a couple months old ... oh
 
@PopularDemand the chat is written in Ruby on Rails!
See what you made me do? I lied just to make you happy!
 
@radp Aw, but you ruined it by telling me you lied.
 
@PopularDemand No, you misunderstood. I was going to add your email address to every spam / malware list ever invented in the hopes you'd want to install that really cool new screensaver that you'd get emailed, after which point I could access the OpenID you created for Unix.SE
 
3:50 PM
@drachenstern First post (100 days earlier) :P
 
@YiJiang no kidding
 
@PopularDemand No. The Jabber Chat Bridge is written in Ruby, not the chat itself
Rails need not apply
 
does dd of=/dev/<usb> if=/path/to/my.iso work ? lol
It'd better.
 
I usually put in some blocksizes to make it faster
I'm not sure if that's voodoo optimization tho
 
3:52 PM
@PopularDemand just FYI, I've edited your account on unix.SE. Yes, it is funny, but a bit too much
 
Just want it to boot
 
dd of=/dev/<blah> if=/path/to/my.iso bs=1024k
@drachenstern It's not, it definitely helps
 
Oh, snap
 
@balpha url?
 
@balpha brought down the mod hammer.
 
3:53 PM
@balpha Okay. It was a one-shot joke anyways, I didn't plan on actually using it like that.
 
oh snap
 
@TheUnhandledException then wtf is the fedora 'iso to usb' tool for lol
 
I wasn't even going to ask hehe
 
@TheUnhandledException yeah but it depends on the disks involved for optimal, so I've seen 32K be good
 
3:54 PM
Man, where was Michael Mrozek for that, though? It was mostly for his benefit.
 
My unix account is soooo active after all (;
 
@drachenstern Agreed, I normally play around with a few tests to see what a good size is. I find 1-10MB is normally a good size, after 10MB it starts to preform less well
@AidenBell HA! You should probably use that instead! I've never heard of it myself, but I have never tried this activity
@rchern I was going to say, I thought you were a windows woman
 
@TheUnhandledException good to know I'm not the only one, I've heard others say they do it, but nobody has matched my sizes :D ... also, I hate USB1.x
 
"Life without walls" and all that...
 
@TheUnhandledException - IIRC I always try the dd method and it never goes well, but I always try it. They should provide raw disk snapshots instead of ISOs
 
3:56 PM
@AidenBell it's a wrapper for a script?
 
@AidenBell I thought ISOs were raw disk snapshots of CDs?
 
@TheUnhandledException they're supposed to be
 
@TheUnhandledException But how can you have Windows without walls?
 
@rchern PS: You're welcome for the derailment
 
@YiJiang I know!
 
3:57 PM
@TheUnhandledException - Dunno
@drachenstern - It does mkinitrd stuff and unpacks the image, I think it more for livecds than install media
 
It's such a retarded marketing slogan
 
@TheUnhandledException Aren't all marketing slogans retarded?
 
oh speaking of which
 
@YiJiang The sides of your building are made of glass, duh.
 
3:58 PM
my favorite retarded marketing PoS right now is the coke billboards in my area
 
Window without walls
 
they have a cokebottle on it's side, full to the brim, pouring out coke
 
@AidenBell If you don't have walls, you don't need windows
 
@TheUnhandledException The commercial where the kid is stuck outside on his Windows 7 laptop watching videos he DVRed while his roomate get laid disturbs me.
 
@TheUnhandledException - Yea but windows make good shelves.
 
3:58 PM
Because you have no walls to block your view
 
@TheUnhandledException - Maybe I like life through a window :P
 
I carry one around at all times

I should get back to working on my mod_rewrite program, hrm.
 
@YiJiang That's the Ring 0 Gods to you!
 
@rchern Based on everything else that's ever happened in here, why would you go and ask that question? :P
 
@rchern - Catch up and play along! :P

4:05 PM
Anyway, as fun as this is, I have a really, really busy day and can't chat much :-(

Currently, chat.serverfault and chat.superuser get their own chat sites. However, the overall usage looks like you would fit quite nicely inside chat.stackexchange
in Thoughts on merging on Server Fault Chat, 7 hours ago, by Marc Gravell
We'd like to invite feedback on migrating these two sites to chat.SE; we can bring over the existing rooms and messages, and you can retain the room's identity (as SU/SF) and visual appearance etc.
 
As long as meta doesn't merge, I dont care
 
4:13 PM
@TheUnhandledException - Get to work!
lol
 
Thanks to @badp / @radp for the great graph
 
@TheUnhandledException That's what I'm worried about. I want to chat without having to be exposed to horrible red eye blinding @-mention color
 
@AidenBell I'm a gettin', I'm a gettin'!
 
@YiJiang Userscript/CSS
 
That chart will be much better if the number was divided by amount of time the chatrooms existed
 
4:17 PM
@YiJiang Very, very, very good point
/blame @radp
 
I see no problem with the way it is. Meta's on top. :P
 
Damnit I am supposed to be working! STop distracting me @YiJiang ;-)
 
@TheUnhandledException Hey, I didn't @-mention you. You came in and saw that message yourself
@TimStone Definitely not if you divide by time in existence. Also, meta was stealing SO's traffic for quite a while
 
@YiJiang Point taken. And with that I now close chat until I finish my todo list!
 
@YiJiang I know, so stop trying to ruin it. :P
 
4:19 PM
@YiJiang There's no sane way of doing that currently and things would be screwed horribly in favour of side rooms opened today.
 
Unless there's a compelling reason why having multiple chats is an actual issue from the development side, I don't see how playing the numbers game actually makes a point in this case.
 
@radp Hmmm... I mean the combined numbers per site
 
@YiJiang I'm mixing together numbers from all chats, so the result wouldn't be very meaningful
Some MSO.chat (locked) rooms belong to SO, all chats have Chat Feedback which belongs to MSO, ...
 
All I know is that the people on SO chat wind me up more than MSO lol
 
@AidenBell, is that the goal? I can try harder.
 
4:24 PM
Big pro of merging everything: just one tavern.
 
I don't really think that the chat.SE Tavern counts.
And SO isn't getting merged, so.
 
@radp Ah yes, of course. But the SO Tavern is so much worse than the MSO Tavern
 
Which is good anyway, since there's far too much conversation in that Tavern for me to keep up, heh.
 
ok xkcd is a little heartbreaking
 
@rchern - nay
 
4:25 PM
@drachenstern Yeah..
 
Not that it would be much of a problem if somebody didn't go around creating more than one "General" room (glares at @AidenBell)
 
Hahahah
+1000 to @AidenBell
 
So now the XKCD dude has done some illustration for SO careers, will there be an XKCD.SE?

@rchern You're making us star it too much
 
The double asterisk probably gets rendered as two because it gets translated into italics.
