03:55 diana_coman trinque: ah, I hadn't realised the split of tasks between drunk&deed bots; do you plan to publish some docs & roadmap re those bots and/or whatever services you offer through them?
04:08 diana_coman whaack: that "weird foam" on leaves/trees is most likely the traces of "spittlebugs".
~ 9 hours 28 minutes ~
13:37 whaack diana_coman: ah ty, I'm glad I didn't touch it after reading about how spittlebugs make those bubbles
~ 1 hours 20 minutes ~
14:57 diana_coman lobbes: did you have anything on the agenda for today's talk?
14:58 diana_coman whaack: are you happy in the end with the stalling/spinning or what?
~ 16 minutes ~
15:14 * jfw made it to the fallback castle, and was not given a cooties test
15:15 diana_coman jfw: oh hey, congrats!
15:16 jfw ty diana_coman. dorion should be fine too, just has the longer leg on ground transit.
15:17 jfw the flight out of panama was packed; the connecting flight within US pretty light
15:18 diana_coman kind of to be expected, no?
15:19 diana_coman I suppose it's good that there still are connecting flights within US, huh
15:19 jfw I wasn't sure what to expect, e.g. some were cancelling flights while others booked
15:19 diana_coman confusion, what else to expect!
15:19 diana_coman lolz
15:21 diana_coman jfw: anyways, you have therefore *plenty* to review!
15:21 jfw dunno how much confusion, but complications were that the plane arrived late, and someone fell (said initial reports at least) during boarding and was de-planed
15:23 jfw plenty to review indeed; plenty to sleep first
15:24 diana_coman lol, thrown off the plane for stumbling?
15:24 jfw I'd guess more like passing out, but did not witness.
15:26 diana_coman but anyways, glad to hear you got where you wanted to be.
15:26 lobbes diana_coman: I had nothing specific to discuss for today
15:28 lobbes (or in general, for that matter!)
15:28 diana_coman lobbes: o.O ; are you done with discussing for the next 5 years or what?
15:31 lobbes diana_coman: no not at all lol. I just realized "nothing specific" was an odd phrasing
15:31 diana_coman lobbes: ah, it sounded like "nothing for today or in general"
15:32 lobbes but for today I'm just working through this article. Going to get my review n' such out. Still on track with my one-job-application-per-day too
15:32 diana_coman ok
~ 16 minutes ~
15:49 whaack diana_coman: no i'm certainly not happpy with the stalling/spinning. Catalonia returned, which has returned me to a good mood while taking away time.
15:50 diana_coman lolz, the boomerang effect

17:02 diana_coman feedbot should announce it, but possibly it's slow today; /me looks
17:03 diana_coman trinque: I left a comment there, it's possibly a better place for the discussion anyway.
17:03 diana_coman do feel free to move it here though if you prefer/think it works better as a conversation.
17:04 diana_coman cruciform: what operating system are you using?

17:07 diana_coman cruciform: can be worse, lol; anyways, re "no idea how long this will take so won't estimate", that's silly to start with; the point of estimating is precisely to start getting such ideas.
17:07 ossabot Logged on 2019-12-04 16:37:20 diana_coman: the learning/new part simply means that you double/triple/whatever your estimate because you clearly can't possibly estimate it correctly when you are not even sure wtf that thing is; then there is the above and the expecting-the-unexpected that comes on top and yes, it's more of a perspective shift indeed.
17:09 trinque diana_coman: http://trinque.org/2020/03/22/deedbots-future/#comment-201
17:18 cruciform diana_coman, I thought it'd be better to have no estimate than an estimate pulled out of arse. I can see that this resolves to "not getting started" (however roughly). I'll go back and add time estimates.
17:23 diana_coman trinque: answered.
17:23 diana_coman cruciform: in what way better?
17:23 diana_coman (can be - but you have to make the case for it, can't just "better" :P )
17:26 cruciform diana_coman, better in the sense that I was being lazy: avoiding the effort of estimating how long things'll take
17:27 diana_coman cruciform: btw, if you want to jump in anyway, can do worse than using the opportunity to write a short awk script to log your time; there's a quite good tutorial iirc.
17:29 cruciform diana_coman, thanks! I'll check it out; I've added time estimates to the post
17:29 diana_coman cruciform: aha; anyways, there you go, this has been essentially an #o light taster for you; re reading the logs to get an idea what it is about, perhaps better start with people's articles on their experience/getting in; some struggled with the question of "do I want in?" for a while.
17:32 diana_coman cruciform: also, you might want to change your article's category there, you *can* choose it, you know?
17:33 cruciform diana_coman, "derp" seems appropriate, at least for now ;)
17:33 diana_coman lol, ok then; anyways, have fun!
17:33 * diana_coman will be back tomorrow.
17:38 * dorion made it to vermont.
17:44 whaack dorion and jfw: good to hear you're back at your roots safe and sound.

19:12 whaack In coronavirus beach news: police are kicking surfers out of the water around here.
19:13 trinque bahaha, how is surfing not "social distancing"
19:21 whaack yeah...no idea.
19:23 whaack They closed most of the beaches though so I guess kicking the surfers out is just an extension of kicking everyone off the beach. It's pretty silly though because most of these beaches are ~deserted on a day to day basis anyways
~ 25 minutes ~
19:48 BingoBoingo jfw dorion: Good to hear your transits passed smoothly
