Wizards Den

@ShadowWizard must be enjoying weekend, no-one can predict @SPArchaeologist , @ProgramFOX and @FOX9000 must be at school, I don't know where is @Unihedron , maybe at school, @SilentKiller 's absence is quite shocking though, don't know why @JasonC is not here and @Frank must be asleep.

Jason C

7:47 AM

Sort of

More like I procrastinated too much on a particularly boring project, and now I'm paying the price hard.

@DroidDev user

@JasonC oh! you could have outsourced it....

DroidDev

@MysticMagic famous

Jason C

8:15 AM

@DroidDev I could have, but given that I'm the only subcontractor, working with a company of like 6 people, somebody would have noticed, lol.

Besides, it's pretty niche work, it's hard to outsource.

@DroidDev almost

DroidDev

@JasonC ya, that's hard to hide. Guess you'll just have to pay the price now :P

Jason C

Oh I know, there's no way out of it. I have to make a site visit tomorrow, I'll be back Monday. So the next time I'm in here I'll either be insanely tired after a weekend of no sleep, or I'll just be completely shamed.

Either way, I brought it on myself, lol.

DroidDev

@JasonC trust me, we all do this. I am kind of doing it right now ;)

Jason C

It's a hint that it's time for a nice long vacation.

DroidDev

@JasonC I only do these kind of things, when a project is complete and client comes back with weird modifications

Jason C

8:19 AM

Oh god

That, and another tough one is like, when the rush is finished, the project is done, but then... oh yeah, don't forget that contractual obligation to write a full set of technical and maintenance documentation.

DroidDev

@JasonC documentation, lol, the only documentation I do is writing comments in my code

Jason C

That's the worst. Especially when you have to somehow make "Troubleshooting Guide: All problems -> Reboot Computer -> If not fixed, call us, because you won't figure it out" look like a real document.

Ha

DroidDev

@JasonC hehe, I am lucky not to be in mobile app career then ;)

Jason C

Mine is usually the opposite; generally I work alone, so the code docs are just for me, but the projects I work on usually require insane amounts of hardware and software documentation for the client afterwards.

I don't do mobile either, thank god.

Mostly I do desktop / server / embedded.

I'll do mobile development if I have to. I don't touch web front-end stuff at all.

DroidDev

@JasonC well, I am planning to move onto server, but just for web-services/apis

Jason C

8:26 AM

Do you do front-end work now?

DroidDev

@JasonC I don't like mobile development much. Readymade sdks make me want to kill someone. But, no choince for now

@JasonC mobile apps are not that big, so yes, I have to do everything that is need on device side

Jason C

Cool, you'll have a nice well-rounded skill set if you move on to web-services / back-end programming too.

Do you do any heavy database work?

DroidDev

@JasonC not heavy, but yes, we do. I enjoy that

@JasonC yes, I'll do it, once I move to freelancing completely.

Jason C

I wish I had opportunities to do more db work, it's really fun.

I've only done one project that needed serious database design; but I was in waaaaay over my head on that part.

DroidDev

@JasonC although, I hesitate from working on joins etc, but then again, I am lead developer on the projects I am getting now, so I have to design everything in app. Like classes, packages, and database

Jason C

8:32 AM

That's cool

DroidDev

@JasonC lead developer, but not in papers. I am just handling the responsibility. So, its cool, but if pay was better, it would be cooler ;)

Jason C

General design and management work is way more fun than development, I think. I'm trying to move my own work more towards consulting and design and away from actual programming.

Ha ha well > pay = cooler is true for everything.

DroidDev

@JasonC haha

@JasonC well, coding is fun. Management is totally another domain. I don't want to go there for now

But, I am there, kind of. Still, I stick to coding, whenever I get a chance

Jason C

I just really like writing emails, lol.

Ugh, OK, nice chatting, but I really have to get back to this shitty project. I have about 3 days of work to do before my flight leaves, which is in about 5 hours.

Peace

DroidDev

@JasonC ok, cya. Another time :)

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist yup, though he might be online, but that's a rare case

@MysticMagic LOC

SPArchaeologist

@DroidDev Then it wil have to wait. Can't send a music video to the one without audio drivers, can I?

SPArchaeologist

! what a great opportunity!

@MysticMagic movie

no need to thank me, @DroidDev

Shadow Wizard

10:19 AM

I was just finishing breakfast when @DroidDev pinged so decided to take a pic :-d

Sorry for not being responsive lately, no internet connection at home so can't run stats :(

Worst case will take the code to work and run it from there next week :)

@SPArchaeologist audio

SPArchaeologist

this one ^

No need of knowing the show to appreciate the music, but it would become 20% better if you could grasp what the song is talking about.

@DroidDev alien enough? and not even pony related!

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist oh! I now seriously hope that I had those drivers installed when they were building my system

@SPArchaeologist wow! thanks for the hint btw

@ShadowWizard don't worry, we all have chance to better our scores till then :)

SPArchaeologist

10:56 AM

@DroidDev Depends, you like Gregorian style chanting? In that case, the above video can be pretty cool. As said, you don't need to watch the show to enjoy it

actually, knowing the show would make the whole song sadder. A lot.

DroidDev

SPArchaeologist

only two left.

DroidDev

last of them....

SPArchaeologist

11:31 AM

means that I can officially declare that the Den is 50% mlp fans.

maybe I should call my bot, to bring that to 66%

DroidDev

...and 50% out of mind...

SPArchaeologist

11:46 AM

mumble...

let me do a test

@DroidDev You mean that the fact that I find the above image funny qualifies me as mad?

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist nope, with term "out of mind" I was referring to myself :P

SPArchaeologist

then you are wrong. 100% is more appropriate.

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist are you sure, because, I'd be advertising about it in some time. Being 100% mad is relief.

SPArchaeologist

@DroidDev could be sure for the Sugarcube. Or at least others will view you as so.

@DroidDev Reforming

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist At-least in sugarcube, I am free...

@SPArchaeologist process

SPArchaeologist

12:00 PM

@DroidDev Seem that freedom isn't appreciated.

you are still the only one that comes there.

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist well....I guess other people don't know the meaning of freedom or their definitions differ

SPArchaeologist

@DroidDev more like "no, I will lose my face if I show to like mlp:fim"

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist well....that is not completely about "I will lose my face". I don't find it interesting from my point of view. I like some more action packed things. If I keep watching love stories or funny movies, it starts getting boring.

SPArchaeologist

@DroidDev you don't have to watch ONLY mlp you know....

at the moment you have 3 26 episode seasons and one 13 episode seasons. Do your math and you will see that it isn't that long...

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist ya, but I don't even get to watch what I want to, these days. I'll be able to watch it when I get some time, which is a luxury I can't afford for some time in near future.

@SPArchaeologist what's the duration of one episode?

SPArchaeologist

12:14 PM

@DroidDev 22' more or less

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist I can finish in two sittings. But, I really starts forwarding things, when they start boring me. Even Naruto

SPArchaeologist

@DroidDev the word "Even" in a phrase that doesn't specifies if you include the "excellent" fillers is a little out of place :P

BTW, Naruto should end soon...

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist Filler is a filler and everything not related to original story is a filler. No fun watching it.

@SPArchaeologist ya, "Shippuden" will end soon. But, Hokage is a long way....

SPArchaeologist

@DroidDev there are good filler as the One Piece dragon island one, there are bad filler like most of Naruto ones and then there are DragonBall filler.

Will Goku be able to get a driving license? How interesting!

(actually, better than most other DBZ fillers. The insanity in Goku/Piccolo driving and turning the exam in a race with general destroying of random background object could be fun)

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist Still, sometimes I think, they show the filler, because they know that show is popular and people will even watch the fillers and show is popular, because, somebody good at writing things, created it. I am not qualified enough to critique such a hit, because I've never done anything that good.

So, sometimes, rather than commenting about such things, I just quit watching the things, that I don't like in that.

SPArchaeologist

12:24 PM

@DroidDev STOOOP. Most fillers AREN'T a way to make a show longer. They are a way to gain time.

You see, most time an anime starts when the manga is still running.

What would you do when your anime version reach the manga?

two options:

create a different story from the manga. Rare, very rare but some anime actually went down this road

or you have to add part that weren't in the original

In that second case most of the times the filler part isn't drawn/written by the original autor

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist well...that ain't the case with naruto. Manga is more than one year ahead of anime

SPArchaeologist

@DroidDev even in japan? (I admit that I don't follow Naruto very closely)

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist exactly, so, "they make fillers to make more profit"

SPArchaeologist

you could try with some "mini" series. You have the advantage that you would finish them sooner.

@DroidDev Evangelion, Psyco Pass, Gurren Lagan, Mazzinkaiser, etc...

DroidDev

12:50 PM

@SPArchaeologist But, I think they just delve into their imaginary words a little too much and being a researcher, I start thinking, what is this....which again makes it boring

SPArchaeologist

@DroidDev Phoenix Wright

process could be interpreted as lawsuit, right..?

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist Wright brothers

SPArchaeologist

so something related to airplanes?

@DroidDev The Wind Rises

The Wind Rises

The Wind Rises (Japanese: 風立ちぬ, Hepburn: Kaze Tachinu) is a 2013 Japanese animated historical drama film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki and animated by Studio Ghibli. It was released by Toho on July 20, 2013 in Japan, and by Touchstone Pictures in North America on February 21, 2014 and the UK on May 9, 2014. The Wind Rises is a fictionalized biopic of Jiro Horikoshi (1903–1982), designer of the Mitsubishi A5M and its successor, the Mitsubishi A6M Zero, used by the Empire of Japan during World War II. The film is adapted from Miyazaki's manga of the same name, which was in turn loosely based...

@DroidDev anyway, I will post a reply now.

So I get to chose the most obscure cartoon ever.

@DroidDev The Vision of Escaflowne

@DroidDev Actually, you were correct about me, I think...

SPArchaeologist

@DroidDev also, when I am not around, assume I am busy moving Nibiru. You know, Celestia and Luna already took the easier ones.

SPArchaeologist

DroidDev

@Frank ok, "I think..." is enough... :)

@SPArchaeologist Nibiru, Celestia, Luna.... nothing I am familiar with...and no time to google either

guys at server end decided to ignore my messages all day long

Probably was the opposite
