valorie | hi ahoneybun | 03:45 |
ahoneybun | how u doing? | 03:47 |
valorie | good, the contractor got well | 03:48 |
valorie | and i got locally-roasted coffee beans today | 03:48 |
valorie | v. good day | 03:48 |
valorie | how about you? | 03:48 |
ahoneybun | nice | 03:49 |
shadeslayer | valorie: i am ~70% through looking for alaska | 03:49 |
valorie | how does it compare with stars? | 03:50 |
shadeslayer | John Green has radically changed my perspective about the world in the last 12 hour's | 03:50 |
valorie | errr, the fault in our stars | 03:50 |
valorie | in what way? | 03:50 |
shadeslayer | maybe radically is too strong a word | 03:50 |
valorie | how did his books change your perspective? | 03:51 |
shadeslayer | Not sure how to put it in words, but I now think alot more deeply about things, how things that appear something on the surface might just be an abstract idea and might represent something else entirely | 03:54 |
valorie | that's true | 03:55 |
valorie | what I got from looking for alaska is how amazing life is, and that we have to enjoy it NOW | 03:56 |
valorie | since everything can change so quickly | 03:56 |
shadeslayer | valorie: http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/629719-but-it-is-a-pipe-no-it-s-not-i-said | 03:58 |
shadeslayer | one of the more awesome quotes | 03:59 |
shadeslayer | also, both the books i have read have a very depressing finality of the human condition to them and then John seems to go to great lengths to then reveal things about some person even after theyre dead | 04:01 |
valorie | in some ways finality is depressing | 04:01 |
shadeslayer | *depressing sense of the finality | 04:01 |
valorie | but it would be worse if we all lived forever | 04:01 |
valorie | and I've lost enough loved ones to say that they might be dead, but they aren't gone | 04:02 |
shadeslayer | not really, some people/religions view it as a release from the physical world and you evolve into a higher consciousnesses | 04:02 |
shadeslayer | or somethin | 04:03 |
shadeslayer | which is nice, think about not having to worry that your computer is kaput | 04:03 |
shadeslayer | or that a pipe broke | 04:03 |
shadeslayer | and your house is now flooded | 04:04 |
valorie | for me it isn't religious or whatever | 04:04 |
valorie | and yes, they all got release in one way or another | 04:04 |
shadeslayer | i am just saying that certain religions view it as that | 04:04 |
valorie | right | 04:04 |
valorie | for sure, since it is one of the central mysteries of life | 04:05 |
shadeslayer | also made me realize one of my core issues that has been eating away at me for a couple of months .... but i need to write those down on a computer | 04:07 |
valorie | a book that brings out your core issues is great! | 04:09 |
valorie | even if painful, which Looking for Alaska was for me | 04:09 |
shadeslayer | yep | 04:14 |
shadeslayer | also i think looking for alaska is way darker | 04:14 |
shadeslayer | i found the fault in our stars tamer than looking for alaska | 04:15 |
shadeslayer | valorie: I want to read http://store.kobobooks.com/en-US/ebook/an-abundance-of-katherines next | 04:19 |
valorie | sounds good | 04:19 |
valorie | I'm stuck in reality right now, reading The Brothers, about John Foster Dulles and Allen Dulles who ran the US foreign policy in the 50s | 04:20 |
valorie | so depressing | 04:20 |
valorie | interesting, but damn | 04:20 |
shadeslayer | alright gtg | 04:22 |
valorie | have fun in India, shadeslayer | 04:31 |
ahoneybun | valorie: so translations should start soon | 05:38 |
valorie | yes, I'll write to the translators this weekend | 05:43 |
ahoneybun | sounds great | 06:10 |
shadeslayer | apachelogger: btw for the kde developer meta package do I just write a Desktop file and app-install-data extracts info from it? | 08:43 |
shadeslayer | or does it require something more elaborate | 08:43 |
shadeslayer | I am not entirely sure how the app-install file thingy works | 08:43 |
lordievader | Good morning. | 10:49 |
apachelogger | shadeslayer: no clue | 12:17 |
apachelogger | read the source I'd say | 12:17 |
