00:49:42 <JibberJim> Hey kandinski
00:50:23 <cowan> Swhack!
00:50:57 <kandinski> jibberjim, cowan!
00:53:13 <cowan> So what's the Spanish idiotism^H^H^H^Hm of the day, k?
01:00:02 <cowan> 373C:
01:00:45 <cowan> 373::The jury (a sour dozen of stout fellows all of whom were curiously named after doyles) naturally disagreed jointly and severally, and the belligerent judge, disagreeing with the allied jurors' disagreement, went outside his jurisfiction altogether and ordered a garnishee attachment to the neutral firm.
01:03:09 <kandinski> err, stumped today
01:03:30 <kandinski> idiotism? as in particular peculiarity?
01:18:58 <cowan> The French for idiom, in the sense of irregular irregularity, is idiotisme.
01:20:08 <cowan> Which sounds like it has to do with "idiot" in English.
01:20:31 <cowan> All from Greek idiotes, private person, person viewed from a non-political viewpoint, but it became derogatory in English.
01:22:45 <deltab> also 'idiolect'
01:30:48 <cowan> yes.
01:31:15 <cowan> idiosyncratic, too.
01:35:36 <cowan> .look idio
01:35:41 <cowan> foo

02:04:36 <eikeon> Monty, Monty, Monty
02:04:36 <Monty> Right...
02:04:44 <eikeon> That's what I thought.

10:21:38 <Talliesin> 475: Let's see:
10:22:08 <Talliesin> 475: 1. A Web Quality Cert where some of the things can be judged by a user before they see the quality logo.
10:22:27 <Talliesin> 475: 2. The people in charge of this are the sort of people who use Word documents as
10:22:27 <Talliesin> a primary web content-type.
10:22:39 <Talliesin> 475: 3. A minister opened it.
10:22:48 <Talliesin> 475: There's only one possible conclusion:
10:23:11 <Talliesin> 475: The dot-com days are back!
10:23:11 <Talliesin> Start buying shares, hiring unusual venues for PR events and
10:23:11 <Talliesin> increasing developer salaries while you can still beat the rush.

19:19:11 <whogben> hi
19:19:36 <jcowan_> Hi there.
19:20:16 <whogben> i am looking for someone who is interested in working on a game with me
19:20:19 <whogben> there is a deadline
19:20:23 <whogben> it is for a contest
19:20:26 <whogben> i will do all the coding
19:20:31 <jcowan_> *** jcowan_ has quit ("Leaving")
19:20:33 <whogben> and some of the graphics
19:20:40 <whogben> but i need some more graphics support
19:20:43 <jcowan_> *** jcowan_ (~jcowan@65.219.213.79) has joined #swhack
19:20:48 <jcowan_> *** jcowan_ has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
19:20:55 <kandinski> whogben, what type of game?
19:20:58 <whogben> 2D
19:21:02 <whogben> above view
19:21:05 <kandinski> that makes it easier
19:21:14 <whogben> you know all those secret military bases in james bond and other movies?
19:21:14 <kandinski> 3d is very technical
19:21:23 <whogben> the game is where you set u pthe security for one
19:21:28 <whogben> you place traps and defenses
19:21:31 <whogben> and then it gets attacked
19:21:48 <jcowan> *** jcowan has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
19:21:55 <whogben> 3D is not that echnical
19:22:07 <whogben> you just need to understand more complex trig and matrix math
19:22:17 <whogben> but 2d in this case because it is a simple game for a contest
19:22:22 <kandinski> I mean for an artist
19:22:28 <whogben> oh, haha, yes
19:22:37 <whogben> + everyone works in a idfferent format, its a nightmare
19:22:46 <whogben> but in 2D, a bitmap is a bitmap
19:22:47 <kandinski> tools need more technical (tool) skills
19:22:53 <whogben> yeah
19:22:56 <kandinski> you can do 2d with pen and paper and a scanner
19:22:59 <whogben> i do 3D animation recreationally
19:23:06 <kandinski> when push comes to blow
19:23:20 <whogben> yeah
19:23:24 <whogben> i am good at graphics
19:23:28 <whogben> but i do not have time to do them all
19:23:35 <whogben> so i am looking for another to help me
19:24:21 <JibberJim> * JibberJim has no graphics ability at all
19:25:01 <whogben> know where i could find graphics people?
19:25:08 <whogben> i don't even know what network to look in
19:25:37 <JibberJim> no, not really :-(
19:26:16 <whogben> haha, a shame
19:26:25 <whogben> anyone here know anyone who is handy with graphics and might be interested?
19:29:25 <whogben> I USE CAPSLOCK BECAUSE I WILL BECOME NOTICED, POPULAR AND GOOD IN BED
19:31:56 <kandinski> no, I am not good with graphics
19:32:17 <kandinski> but I will ask a friend's sons
19:32:26 <kandinski> they do not speak much English, though
19:32:30 <kandinski> that might be a problem
19:33:31 <whogben> depends, not good english or positivly bad english?
19:34:38 <kandinski> they are Spanish kids, in high school
19:34:47 <whogben> in spain?
19:34:54 <kandinski> I don't even know how much English
19:35:02 <kandinski> yes, Spaniards from Spain
19:35:13 <whogben> whoops, walked right into that one
19:35:23 <whogben> do they have a website? ar tehy good at graphics?
19:35:41 <kandinski> no, they don't have a website
19:35:49 <kandinski> they mostly draw stuff on grid paper
19:35:58 <kandinski> but they are the only ones I could think of
19:36:03 <whogben> well, i am not gona be online that long, so if its convenient i could give you my email adress to give to them

21:56:32 <Sconn> heh
21:57:11 <Sconn> I see this channel has grew somewhat since I was last here
21:57:13 <Sconn> thats good.
21:57:16 <Sconn> (I think)
22:00:23 <sbp> it's fairly good
22:00:27 <sbp> actually, it kinda sucks
22:00:34 <sbp> I've not been reading Swhack all that much
22:00:48 <sbp> so I'm wondering about the old AaronSw adage: if I don't read every line, I BLAM it

22:01:04 <kandinski> BLAM?
22:01:22 <JibberJim> it sucks sbp that I came here?
22:01:26 <JibberJim> bye then...
22:01:26 <sbp> I've no idea what's even up with it. technically it's a golden age, but I really find myself unfulfilled by it; it's probably more a shift in my own interests that's at work

22:06:28 <AaronSw> *** AaronSw has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
22:06:30 <MoiraA> just left a comment on your article
22:07:04 <sbp> hey there Moira
22:07:05 <JibberJim> woohoo, I've never got a comment before
22:07:08 <kandinski> ah, my bad
22:07:45 <JibberJim> * JibberJim thanks MoiraA for his first ever comment.
22:07:59 <MoiraA> lol, you're welcome
22:08:09 <MoiraA> what event was that 30 miler?
22:08:37 <JibberJim> I'm not training for any marathon now - I did Apeldoorn midwinter marathon about a month after that in 4:12 - I'm thinking about aiming for apeldoorn again next Jan now.
22:08:47 <JibberJim> That was "winter Tanners" there's a summer tanners too.
22:09:02 <MoiraA> I've done 10 marathons in all, but don't do much running now
22:09:24 <MoiraA> I just swim and do some challenge walks, I got an achilles tendonitis injury which wouldn't go, so running became less of a pleasure
22:09:53 <JibberJim> * JibberJim has just done 1 :-(
22:09:57 <JibberJim> I'm so lazy
22:12:02 <MoiraA> that's one more than most people
22:12:28 <MoiraA> all of mine have been run in a time of 3.43 to 3.59 apart from one in Hamsterley forest which was more of a fell race than a normal marathon
22:13:38 <JibberJim> Cool, good times.
22:13:57 <JibberJim> I didn't train properly for mine, in fact wasn't even running it a month before.

22:27:06 <JibberJim> nah it's a timing bug sbp
22:28:08 <sbp> so not fixed? well something was preventing it from loading, so I thought it might be that
22:28:57 <JibberJim> it's just an intermittant bug.
22:29:08 <sbp> cheers
22:29:15 <JibberJim> * JibberJim was debugging a complex webapp's javascript over email today, it was horrible,
22:29:23 <JibberJim> I couldn't even run it, or see the bugs...
22:29:29 <sbp> heh!
22:29:39 <JibberJim> I had CVS access though.
22:29:50 <sbp> "you're not allowed to touch, look at, or interact with the code in any manner--but you MUST fix it"
22:30:12 <JibberJim> it wasn't even a script error, just nasty flickering for no apparent reason.
22:30:53 <sbp> multimap has that now. very annoying. hmm... it wasn't for multimap was it? :-)
22:31:15 <JibberJim> no it wasn't for multimap
22:31:29 <sbp> yeah. just found multimap to not be fixed
22:31:36 <sbp> go fix that for me too :-)
22:52:56 <kandinski> SNotD
22:53:25 <kandinski> one of the differences between Spanish and other languages is that we have two words for "to be"
22:53:28 <kandinski> "ser"
22:53:30 <kandinski> and
22:53:34 <kandinski> "estar"
22:53:42 <kandinski> I might have said it before
22:54:14 <sbp> hmm, nope. how many conjugations?
22:54:55 <kandinski> but today's SNotD is new insofar as it tells you how to translate "ser" and "estar" to English, when referring to "being essentially so", or "being contingently so"
23:00:07 <kandinski> so the first might be translated as "to be", but the second might be translated as "to look"
23:00:34 <kandinski> which, funnily enough, is in its turn translated, when meaning "to have the appearance of", as "parecer"
23:00:44 <kandinski> the third copulative verb: ser, estar, parecer
23:00:47 <sbp> hmm: "The Spanish language also has two words, but divided differently: "ser" for uses expressing permanence (whether existence or attributes) and "estar" primarily for temporary conditions, either of existence or attributes." - http://www.brainyencyclopedia.com/encyclopedia/b/be/be__verb_.html
23:01:06 <kandinski> ¿eres tonto?: are you a fool?
23:01:34 <kandinski> ¿estás tonto?: what is wrong with you? (today)
23:01:42 <sbp> quite nice really
23:01:48 <kandinski> pareces tonto: you seem like a fool
23:01:58 <kandinski> second SNotD:
23:02:14 <kandinski> estar is also for location
23:02:22 <kandinski> estoy en Madrid
23:02:31 <kandinski> I am in Madrid
23:02:35 <kandinski> soy de León
23:02:48 <kandinski> I am/come from León (I was born there)
23:03:56 <sbp> it's going to take me years to learn es through SNotDs you know :-)
23:04:30 <kandinski> and I remember having already given a SNotD on the passive/active distinction having been erased in Spanish
23:04:39 <kandinski> and being displaced to ser/estar
23:04:53 <kandinski> I am bored: estoy aburrido
23:04:59 <kandinski> I am boring: soy aburrido
23:05:16 <sbp> I vaguely remember that one
23:05:24 <kandinski> in both cases the Spanish phrase uses the passive participle
23:05:56 <kandinski> but the distinction between something boring you and you boring other people is done with ser/estar
23:06:05 <sbp> oh, give me a language without passive participles! :-)
23:06:28 <kandinski> apparenty, someone being boring is permanent, but someone being bored is merely temporary
23:06:53 <sbp> not sure if you saw that: http://swhack.com/logs/2004-06-25#T04-40-49
23:06:53 <kandinski> and on that note, my friends, ends tonight's triple-barreled SNotD!
23:07:11 <kandinski> yes
23:07:13 <kandinski> loved it
23:07:33 <kandinski> also Woody Allen's story in which a man goes inside Madame Bovary for entertainment
23:07:43 <kandinski> but he mistakenly enters a Spanish grammar book
23:07:44 <libby> *** libby has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
23:08:01 <kandinski> and ends up being followed by a hairy irregular verb, HAW HAW HAW
23:08:49 <kandinski> s/followed/chased/
23:09:15 <kandinski> passive participle: i was probably making that up
23:09:27 <sbp> 'When somebody asked Flaubert who was the model for his famous heroine he replied "That Bovary woman is myself!"' - Amazon reviewer
23:09:28 <kandinski> the gerund is supposed to be the active participle
23:09:43 <kandinski> Madame Bovary, c'est moi!
23:09:50 <sbp> didn't think the gerund was a participle at all
23:10:41 <sbp> merci pour l'originale
23:11:38 <kandinski> pas de problem
23:11:43 <kandinski> (e)?
23:11:55 <kandinski> and you will not learn by SNotDs
23:12:06 <kandinski> but you will whet your learning appetite
23:12:44 <sbp> well you never know
23:13:32 <sbp> e: minus the e
23:14:34 <sbp> originale is a primordial beverage, I suppose
23:26:18 <JibberJim> snotted ? as in covered in snot?

23:34:24 <sbp> yes, but the Google cache doesn't persist
23:35:02 <sbp> that's how I found it. I was looking for an RFC on porn (really)
23:35:02 <JibberJim> seems to be only reference...
23:35:23 <JibberJim> honest governor.
23:35:24 <sbp> <sbp> the biggest irony is that there's no Porn RFC though
23:35:24 <sbp> <sbp> RFC 3675 is kinda close

23:35:47 <kandinski> .rfc 3675
23:35:50 <sbp> honest guv': exactly
23:35:53 <phenny> no such rfc found, but you might want to try looking at http://rfc.net/rfc3675.html

23:36:36 <phenny> This is an experimental feature. Comments to sbp. Thanks.
23:36:43 <JibberJim> does it suggest the .condom and the .abstinence countermeasurese?
23:36:50 <sbp> heh, heh
23:37:13 <sbp> http://example.donotuseclingfilm/
23:39:41 <kandinski> sbp, the joke is "no such found, but try.." and it being there, not the rfc itself
23:40:03 <sbp> hence the "nope" and the explanation of the xena relay
23:40:31 <kandinski> er, so when xena fails, phenny makes an url up and hopes it will work?
23:40:47 <JibberJim> phenny's a clever bot.
23:40:52 <sbp> no... she relays from xena

23:41:10 <phenny> no such rfc found, but you might want to try looking at http://rfc.net/rfc3675.html
23:41:18 <JibberJim> but xena was too stupid to find the rfc....
23:41:30 <JibberJim> so they're both stupid!
23:41:33 <kandinski> erg, and she makes up the url herself
23:41:34 <sbp> her index must need updating
23:41:40 <kandinski> xena is guessing
23:41:50 <kandinski> grasping at straws
23:41:55 <sbp> well it's a pretty bloody good guess

23:43:51 <crschmidt> * crschmidt <3 that one
23:44:06 <crschmidt> it hung on my dorm room door, found it via the TCP/IP Drinking game
23:45:02 <phenny> 476:I like this one.
23:45:36 <phenny> 476:crschmidt tricked me into chumping it, though.
23:48:44 <crschmidt> wait, what'd I do now?
23:48:55 <crschmidt> and why is phenny talking? he's scaring me :/
23:48:59 <sbp> she
23:49:03 <crschmidt> she.
23:49:04 <crschmidt> Right.
23:49:07 <crschmidt> replacement for xena.
23:49:14 <sbp> replacement for datum
23:49:24 <sbp> no, pi is not exactly 3
23:49:31 <sbp> whoops, got ahead of myself there
23:49:39 <crschmidt> hm.
23:49:40 <crschmidt> * crschmidt shrugs.
23:49:44 <JibberJim> that's right, everyone knows its 22/7
23:49:44 <crschmidt> Was datum a she?
23:49:47 <sbp> hehe, sorry
23:49:56 <sbp> actually, I'm not sure as to the gender of datum
23:49:59 <sbp> more of an it
23:50:08 <sbp> but phenny is definitely a she because of the etymology of her name
23:50:18 <sbp> same with xena
23:50:45 <kandinski> etymology of morphology?
23:50:59 <crschmidt> .ety morphology
23:51:01 <phenny> morphology: German Morphologie, from morph- + -logie -logy
23:51:35 <kandinski> because of the shape of the word, the way it looks, rather than from whence it is derived
23:52:28 <sbp> nope, from derivation
23:52:52 <sbp> Phenomic + Fenny (-> Fenchurch), roughly, with other connotations
23:54:12 <crschmidt> Ah.
23:54:22 <crschmidt> Good ole Fenny.
23:54:29 <sbp> Fenchurch
23:54:57 <sbp> use of the abbreviation once I'd thought of it was unavoidable
23:55:22 <kandinski> ah, right, didn't know that
23:55:29 <kandinski> I love the fenchurch name
23:59:17 <sbp> * sbp nods
