Hallo!

then I guess it's not 1000

well my SO rep is 7k or so

so maybe it's based off of that

yeah, but right here, your meta rep counts

i don't know what my meta rep is

like 150 or something

131

HOW DID THIS GET HERE I AM NOT GOOD WITH COMPUTER

push buttans.

hello #IT_Opinions

hallo

i'm trying to get phil in here

I recommend you type #IT_Opinions into Google

and follow the advice listed

tried failed

how's the wonderful world of F#?

it's great

I've been doing a surprising amount of C++ too

and there's a lot of COM

and the build process is really complicated

but yeah

sounds unfun

it's cool really

i believe you

I keep bumping into Ben Yeomans at lunch

i prmise

oh really

you should get him to join here

we can have a little reunion

yes

although I don't know his home email address

so

I need someone on the inside

email him at work or something

do you not have an internal chat at CSBF?

yes

I only just got access today

it's weird, i.e. it's not Mindalign

Ray Djajajaja...etc is on there

lolol

I am watching 2001: A Space Odyssey

I got my Apple TV this week

so I could download movies

I have a meeting with Jamie Echlin tomorrow

about what?

i bought an iphone 4, it should arrive in about a week

i'm really excited... finally i'll be a modern man

what does Jamie Echlin normally have meetings about? :)

(this time it's source control)

oh wait

he left, of course

i thought you meant you were meeting him to get him to come to CSFB. it's so weird that everyone has moved there. i mean it's awesome too

I'm not allowed to hire/poach anybody

I had to sign a contract

so... don't join CSFB, at least for 5 1/2 months

pft

that's so unenforceable

if they go through a recruiter who the hell knows

it's not enforceable if there's a public record of me persuading people not to join :p

anyway, if they go through a recruiter, I don't get a referral bonus

JG, I have overtaken you on stackoverflow rep

I am winning the nerd race

ha

that's like winning the special olympics

i haven't been very active on it recently

all the questions are boring

it's taken 4 weeks to get set up on IM, so I've been logging onto the web instead

i'm interviewing someone this afternoon who put their SO rep on their CV

they're going to get such a grilling

that sounds... pointless

unless it updates live

i'm going to ask them about the stuff they ask questions on.

if somebody comes to you with a live SO rep feed on their CV, hire then

when they answer, don't forget to accept

I'm having a problem with too much awesome

(a) this site; (b) the bit at the end of 2001; (c) my cool Haskell project

each of which demands 100% attention

I'm worried I'll miss out

what bit at teh end of 2001?

The crazy bit with the monolith and the hotel room and the starchild
