cmaloneyGood morning.13:23
cmaloneySo far it's OK13:23
jrwrenGood Morning.13:32
jrwrenugh... https://github.com/mysql/mysql-connector-j/pull/25  "I confirm the code being submitted is offered under the terms of the OCA, and that I am authorized to contribute it."   so sad13:34
* rick_h whistles dixie13:35
cmaloneyOracle Contributor Agreement?13:41
rick_hjrwren: ok, your reply to greg-g gets the award for most disturbing morning tweet13:41
cmaloneyor Orally Consenting Adults13:41
rick_hcmaloney: yea13:41
cmaloneyrick_h: Which one? The Bernie quote?13:41
rick_hcmaloney: yea13:42
* rick_h goes to the twitter tab to see what his friends are up to and...do what?13:42
rick_htakes a few reads to figure out wtf13:42
cmaloneyheh13:42
cmaloneya: Tweetdeck makes Twitter useable, especially with RTs turned off13:43
cmaloneyb: Yeah...13:43
cmaloneyI wish Twitter also had a feature where if someone starts with 1/ that it says "Use a fucking blog"13:44
cmaloneybut that's just wishful thinking13:45
mrgoodcatI wonder if any clients batch together threads into a single post with a [read more] anchor13:46
rick_hheh, there's your business idea13:47
rick_hreverse-cross posting13:47
cmaloneyHeh13:47
cmaloneyI know there's storify, but that's not a client13:47
rick_htake the threads and a blog engine that you wire to your twitter account and rather than mirring your blog post to twitter, pulls your twitter posts and aggregates them into a blog entry13:47
mrgoodcatlol13:48
mrgoodcati meant more for reading other people13:48
cmaloneyI mean, I've been guilty of it myself13:49
mrgoodcatpropublica frequently posts 10+ tweet threads. It would be nice to have the 9 after the first hidden by default13:49
cmaloneywhere you start into a tweet-storm13:49
cmaloneybut I'm also seeing folks start off something like "I'm going to talk a little about X 1/"13:49
cmaloneyat which point it's premedidated13:49
mrgoodcatthat's what i'm talking about13:50
mrgoodcatand a client would take 1/, 2/, 3/... n/ and batch them into a single view collapsed by default13:50
jrwrenrick_h: lol. I love politics with greg-g :)13:51
cmaloneyI'd rather write a bot that sees 1/ and responds with "please write a blog post"13:51
cmaloneybut mrgoodcat's idea is less confrontational13:51
rick_hwell now I need a new client?13:52
rick_hthat seems a bit less optimal13:52
rick_h"Oh, you wrote something long...let me open goodcatwitter13:52
cmaloneyeither that or we get out the virtual spankings13:52
jrwrenturns the story into an image with all the text. posts the image to twitter.13:52
jrwrenbecause.. TWITTER!13:52
cmaloneyThat screencapping is to prevent folks from deleting stuff13:53
cmaloneybut yeah, that's really annoying13:53
cmaloneyIt's the Twitter equivalent of smacking a bad pooch with a newspaper13:53
notlikethesoupmorning15:02
greg-gjrwren: is that his book that people were worried would kill his campaign if he won the primary?15:44
jrwrenits an article he wrote in 197215:46

jrwrengreg-g: http://www.motherjones.com/wp-content/uploads/Man_and_Woman_0.jpg15:47

greg-ghe was 3117:10
greg-ghe's old now, remember :)17:10
jrwrenold enough to know better :(   young enough to be stupid.17:11
greg-gthat's been me for the last decade17:12
greg-gand will probably be me until I die :)17:12
greg-gbut it'll change to "old enough to know better, but just stupid"17:12
cmaloneyThat's my epitaph right there17:24
rick_hcmaloney: CHC tonight?17:54
cmaloneyYep17:55
* rick_h might try to get down there after the boy's soccer game17:56
cmaloneyOh cool!17:56
