[10:58] <SuperMatt> This is essentially describing my entire weekend.
[10:59] <TwistedLucidity> A YMCA dance-a-thon?
[11:34] <SuperMatt> No, it was a dance camp
[11:39] <foobarry> a camp dance camp?
[11:58] <SuperMatt> Yup, 32 of us gathered in a hotel in the middle of nowhere, spending hours a day practising with each other and social dancing in the evening, with SO MUCH alcohol
[11:58] <SuperMatt> Although at one point we pretty much stopped dancing and spent most of the night signing
[11:58] <SuperMatt> *singing

[14:25]  * Laney scrapes screen clean
[14:48] <diddledan> tech companes love to say "the adjective noun we've ever verbed!"
[14:48] <diddledan> e.g. https://www.cnet.com/videos/the-iphone-the-adjective-iphone-weve-ever-verbed/
[14:56] <czajkowski> Aloha
[14:57] <diddledan> allo
[14:57] <daftykins> \o
[14:58] <daftykins> impatiently awaiting the new windows 10 build release (today) here so i can continue working for clients
[15:06] <czajkowski> daftykins: hard life ;)
[15:06] <daftykins> someone's gotta do it! :D
[15:07] <daftykins> oof at my client using 36MB of data whilst in Moscow, on an O2 mobile data SIM, £210...
[15:07] <diddledan> bleeping nora!
[15:07] <daftykins> yip yip
[15:07] <daftykins> what's more surprising is that we'd already discussed the high rates before he left for there...
[15:18] <diddledan> what a job title: "U.S. deputy assistant secretary of defense for cyber"
[15:18] <diddledan> why do I always think of AOL Instant Messenger when I read "cyber"?! (wanna cyber??)
[15:31] <daftykins> i was trying to explain to a mate how 'cyber' just seems to be used as a daft term for the general populace but that it sounds daft as to anyone in a tech field
[15:31] <daftykins> but he just decided to belittle me for that viewpoint :P don't think he really got it
[15:32] <m0nkey_> diddledan: it's because you're obsessed.
[17:43] <diddledan> wat: "A white supremacist active as recently as the start of this year says today he is publicly renouncing 40 years of hate. Speaking on Channel 4 News he comes out as gay for the first time – and admits to a violent past."
[17:43] <daftykins> ooh-err
[17:43] <diddledan> c.f. https://www.channel4.com/news/neo-nazi-national-front-organiser-quits-movement-comes-out-as-gay-kevin-wilshaw-jewish-heritage
[17:43] <daftykins> diddledan: got any boxes on win10 stable? snagged the 1709 fall creators build just now
[17:44] <diddledan> nope
[17:44] <daftykins> :>
[18:38] <diddledan> The Star Trek: Discovery theme and intro sequence reminds me a lot of Westworld's
[18:40] <daftykins> i still never got around to watching that
[23:50] <directhex> should have my car by the end of the week, fingers crossed :x
