| fsmithred | ping plasma41 - got time to walk me through making a torrent? | 02:45 |
|---|---|---|
| Xenguy | Saw you on the conference stream fsmithred , rock on, you are a rock star now : -) | 02:48 |
| fsmithred | holy shit | 02:48 |
| Xenguy | haha | 02:48 |
| Xenguy | What's wrong, don't believe in your greatness? | 02:49 |
| fsmithred | it was a little bit weird, 'cause I know that everyone in the audience knows a whole lot more about this subject than I do | 02:49 |
| Xenguy | Not necessarily | 02:49 |
| Xenguy | And nevertheless | 02:49 |
| Xenguy | You add value | 02:49 |
| fsmithred | I am confident in my ability to get shit done | 02:49 |
| Xenguy | That's the phrase they use nowadays | 02:50 |
| Xenguy | Exactly | 02:50 |
| Xenguy | "Have at it!" | 02:50 |
| fsmithred | I'll have better slides next time | 02:50 |
| Xenguy | Hah | 02:50 |
| Xenguy | I loved it | 02:50 |
| Xenguy | Everybody has a different toolchain, it's true | 02:50 |
| Xenguy | Mine is absolutely arcane, compared to my colleagues | 02:51 |
| fsmithred | well, I did that about two hours before my presentation, so I had to use something that I didn't have to learn | 02:51 |
| fsmithred | and I figured abiword was better than a text editor | 02:51 |
| Xenguy | Whew, pressure allows you to get things done! | 02:51 |
| Xenguy | A text editor is always better ; -) | 02:52 |
| fsmithred | nah, too small | 02:52 |
| Xenguy | See what I mean? | 02:52 |
| Xenguy | I'm pretty much a text only guy | 02:52 |
| Xenguy | I love it there | 02:52 |
| fsmithred | me too | 02:52 |
| Xenguy | I hate wordprocessors | 02:53 |
| fsmithred | they have their place | 02:53 |
| Xenguy | I want minimal interaction with my content | 02:53 |
| Xenguy | No special formatting etc. If I want that, I'll mark it up somehow | 02:53 |
| fsmithred | a dead-tree letter needs more | 02:54 |
| fsmithred | to look professional | 02:54 |
| Xenguy | There's always LaTeX, but that's another story | 02:54 |
| fsmithred | too much work for a letter | 02:54 |
| Xenguy | I found it fine until I had to work with tables, then it was like, All bets are off! | 02:55 |
| Xenguy | That's when I started to explore 'enhanced ascii' or w/e they call it nowadays | 02:55 |
| fsmithred | tab? | 02:56 |
| Xenguy | ? | 02:56 |
| fsmithred | what is enhanced ascii? | 02:57 |
| Xenguy | Like pandoc, where you can convert various markup text to different formats | 02:57 |
| Xenguy | they used to call it 'smart ascii', but I'm sure the current term has probably changed by now | 02:58 |
| fsmithred | I was thinking of my typewriter that would remember multiple tabs | 02:58 |
| Xenguy | I'm in favor of spaces, but that's a religious debate | 02:58 |
| onefang | Hmmm, second week in a row that most of the mirrors are failing the https check. Mine passes so I have no idea why the others are failing. pkgmaster is one of the ones failing. | 20:11 |
| Evilham | saw that | 20:16 |
| Evilham | it's odd :-) | 20:16 |
