I'll totally save the date.

I want to go to New York City. Not that I have time to do that next week. But still.

@jadarnel "but still" as in, you'll come anyway?

If you pin one more thing, there won't be room on the board for when @mootinator stars Rebecca's "oy" messages...

@Shog9 are you here?

3:32 PM

Darn it, @TimStone. You're so fast with those links!

I have a four-second accept. Efficiency is what I do!

Haha, that is absurd.

3:49 PM

I have been listening to the band "Avenged Sevenfold" all week. Some pretty awesome music.

4:00 PM

Heh, at least they quoted what they were replying to?

o_O

@animuson I detect TYRANNY!

Rebecca Chernoff

@animuson hrmph.

Who was complaining on GMail the other day? It's sure acting funny lately for me, especially with desktop notifications

@animuson I think you're catching on here ...

@jadarnel27 Now check out Assemblage 23

4:13 PM

Yay Assemblage 23

@jcolebrand Never heard of them, but I'll give them a listen. Are they similar, or are you just making an unrelated recommendation?

Is there a good XML editor I can use XPath to bulk modify nodes in?

I'd ask a SE site but the question is "not constructive" :P

I was just going to close your chat message as "not constructive", but now you've ruined it.

That said, unfortunately I don't have any good suggestions...for the most part I avoid XML like the plague.

Yeah. Sometimes people send me xml files to edit because, I assume, they're afraid of angle brackets

Woah, this document is full of angle brackets We'd better send it to a programmer to edit it.

Dear XML: when even the plague avoids you, you're doing something wrong. Consider following OSHA guidelines and rounding those sharp angle brackets down to parentheses to keep workplaces safe.

4:26 PM

Did you just imply that Tim Stone is, in fact, the plague?

Soo, I just downloaded an XML editor

Then proceeded to use a vanilla find/replace to accomplish what I needed to do

/facepalm

@jadarnel27 What? No, he just said that he avoids XML like the plague.

The plague is back anyway.

It probably is XML's fault

@mootinator Mmm, vanilla.

Which is a good sign it's lunch time, hmm.

@PopularDemand I've always read "I avoid X like the plague" to mean "I avoid X like I avoid the plague", not "I avoid X like the plague also avoids X". Which is why I think I misunderstood you.

4:31 PM

@jadarnel27 No, I only cough as if I had the plague, not as though I was it.

I don't avoid the plague very well. Sometimes my kitchen gets bugs in it.

Or at least I think it's safe to assume that the plague does not, itself, cough.

@jadarnel27 Yeah, that's how you're supposed to read it. I'm not a sheep.

All I need is rats now, then BAM...Plague!
