14:39:20 <[bjoern]> so what say you to the director's response?

15:11:00 <[bjoern]> apparently our constitution is out of print.
15:11:39 <sbp> ooh, yeah. checking
15:12:11 <sbp> ah!
15:12:21 <sbp> wonder how he saw about it?
15:12:32 <sbp> you and your unprofessionalism
15:13:24 <sbp> hmm, what do you think about the list suggestion?
15:14:14 <[bjoern]> Yeah, I feel very bad about my unprofessionalism.
15:14:54 <[bjoern]> Oh last I suggested that to W3C Management they weren't interested.
15:16:08 <[bjoern]> On the other hand, there is also W3C staff complaining my message was insufficiently entertaining.
15:16:31 <sbp> you should get signatures on an early day motion to remove the speak^Wdirector
15:17:13 <[bjoern]> Why, it does not appear the director is at fault here in any way.
15:18:25 <sbp> oh?
15:18:26 <sbp> --
15:18:26 <sbp> After looking at this, my conclusion, shared by others, is that the
15:18:26 <sbp> Director's decision has to be rescinded.
15:18:27 <sbp> --
15:19:14 <sbp> public review sounds like a good idea
15:19:26 <sbp> because that way, everybody can miss the transition because they didn't subscribe to the list
15:19:41 <sbp> and the W3C can turn gradually into the IETF
15:20:33 <sbp> I'm extremely amused by this, by the way
15:20:40 <[bjoern]> Well that just says it should not stand, not that he should not have made it in the first place.
15:20:45 <[bjoern]> How so?
15:20:48 <sbp> but you would pick a day where I have computer maintenance conundra
15:21:08 <sbp> off out, will explain after this
15:21:21 <[bjoern]> fun you shall have on your way.
15:24:50 <jsled> wow, you got up to 'l'.
15:34:03 <sbp> yeah, heh, I liked that
15:34:16 <sbp> I also liked, as I've mentioned, that it was a www-archive affair
15:34:26 <sbp> upholding the tradition that all the best stuff takes place on www-archive
15:34:49 <sbp> I also like how TimBL can't spell tale
15:35:08 <sbp> (and then thanks you for your attention to detail)
15:35:59 <clsn> And the tone wasn't even THAT sarcastic/unprofessional. Not more so than what was being pointed out.
15:36:18 <sbp> yeah. quite restrained, really
15:36:42 <clsn> Not that I understood most of it. The alphabet soup of requirements and DTDs and Notes and whatnot are all just blah blah blah to me, I'm afraid.
15:37:28 <sbp> basically there were loads of problems
15:37:35 <sbp> group completely ignored dozens and dozens of them
15:37:40 <sbp> director advances the specification
15:37:52 <sbp> Björn points out (unprofessionally) the catalogue of overlooked errors
15:37:56 <clsn> That much I could understand, and that was enough.
15:38:03 <sbp> to a completely unconnected mailing list
15:38:18 <sbp> where it still gets picked up and apparently dealt with
15:38:20 <clsn> Oh, the completely unconnected mailing list connection I missed; I assumed it was the right place.
15:38:43 *** sbp changed the topic to: "Where Unprofessionalism Furthers"
15:39:02 <[bjoern]> No, I tried all the right places and professional tone before. Did not work out very well.
15:39:28 <sbp> when all you really needed was Spiderman
15:39:31 <clsn> But tell the press about it and have them plaster it on the tabloids, and you'll get results.
15:39:36 <sbp> see, you should've thought about Spiderman from the beginning
15:39:55 <sbp> and the child garden
15:40:19 <sbp> so now it'll be nice to see how many issues they fix
15:40:23 <sbp> and how long it'll take them to do that
15:40:35 <sbp> and then how the process for transitions changes (if at all)
15:40:42 <[bjoern]> Sarcasm would have been to say, we must accept this going on, as it would be cruel to take away their toys.
15:41:12 <sbp> I would have reopened the issues
15:41:15 <sbp> one email per issue
15:41:20 <[bjoern]> The title appears to be popular, but I doubt many got it. In fact, there are complaints I did not explain it.
15:41:23 <sbp> CCing everybody involved on each issue
15:41:29 <sbp> yeah, I didn't get it
15:41:32 <sbp> but I knew better than to ask
15:43:39 <[bjoern]> With great power comes ... the expectation that others will do your job for you.

20:01:15 <[bjoern]> no
20:01:24 <[bjoern]> I was looking for general penny, not human penny
20:01:29 <sbp`> ah
20:01:44 <sbp`> General Penny is not the best name for a General to have
20:02:01 <sbp`> like, you can imagine General MxhUgt'taugh of the Klingon Assthumping Alliance
20:02:02 <[bjoern]> I had similar thoughts, but then pictured her.
20:02:24 <sbp`> and General Penny would be what's-his-name's uncle or something
20:02:30 <sbp`> the dude Wil Wheaton played
20:02:56 <[bjoern]> the annoying playfriend of barclay.
20:03:14 <sbp`> Q's off-screen concubine
20:03:34 <[bjoern]> His Wife is pretty on-screen, in Voyager.

20:03:54 <[bjoern]> Janeway made them make a baby.
20:04:00 <sbp`> clever of her
20:04:18 <sbp`> which of her many uteruses did she harvest it from?
20:04:48 <[bjoern]> The alternative for her was to mate with Q herself.

20:07:09 <[bjoern]> "She helps them reach the Q continuum by flying into a supernova"
20:07:44 <sbp`> "The female Q is abrasive and insulting to the crew, and she explains that she is Q's ex-wife." was my favourite
20:07:51 <[bjoern]> "Oh, Kathy... don't be such a prude. Admit it. It has been a while."
20:07:51 <[bjoern]> "And it's going to be a while longer."
20:08:13 <sbp`> did she cry?
20:08:16 <[bjoern]> "Kathryn Janeway, may I present... Q."
20:08:16 <[bjoern]> "Not just any Q \endash his Q."
20:08:16 <[bjoern]> "We were involved for a while."
20:08:16 <[bjoern]> "About four billion years."
20:08:27 <[bjoern]> She isn't Picard.

20:09:12 <[bjoern]> "You're so negative."
20:09:40 <sbp`> what's the longest Deutschwort Q has ever said?
20:09:50 <sbp`> I'd ask Yahoo! Answers, but...
20:10:06 <[bjoern]> Thinking ... whether I said something german, ever
20:10:11 <[bjoern]> He does speak french
20:10:28 <[bjoern]> uups, I meant "he", of course
20:10:39 <sbp`> yes, I read carefully what you said
20:10:39 <[bjoern]> *cough*
20:11:54 <[bjoern]> "Fire!"
20:11:54 <[bjoern]> "I'm hit, I'm dying!"
20:11:54 <[bjoern]> "Q!"
20:11:54 <[bjoern]> "What?"
20:11:54 <[bjoern]> "They're not firing at us."
20:11:55 <[bjoern]> "They're not?"
20:12:15 <sbp`> that's not German...

20:14:33 <deltab> nah, the tv programme on 4 now
20:14:48 <sbp`> oh, craprats, no
20:14:51 <sbp`> didn't know it was on
20:14:55 <sbp`> hang on
20:15:50 <deltab> “If only those winds had sent more of those ships to the bottom of the whale-road.”
20:16:33 <sbp`> aw fuckcrud, it looks good
20:16:41 <sbp`> off earlier tonight though
20:16:53 <sbp`> heh, the old whale-way, yeah

20:17:24 <nsh> oh, cool
20:17:31 <nsh> tv is not teh accessable
20:17:35 <nsh> unfortunately
20:17:56 <deltab> it'll be downloadable
20:18:14 <sbp`> coolscap
20:18:52 <deltab> and probably on the online 4OD too, which apparently is available on Macs too now
20:19:08 <deltab> wonder if that means it's Flash?

23:37:06 <deltab> the former
23:37:25 <deltab> that always bothered me
23:39:06 <[bjoern]> yeah
23:39:41 <deltab> but I guess it's a symbol of a composite function
23:39:55 <deltab> square-of-sine-of
23:57:46 <kpreid> notation is not particularly consistent here
23:58:17 <[bjoern]> By here you mean "math"?
23:58:26 <kpreid> since it is afaik common to speak of (f + g)(x) etc. the odd one out is the ^(-1) for inverse notation
23:58:54 <kpreid> they should've invented another notation for composition-n-times
