| diana_coman: | trinque: ah, I hadn't realised the split of tasks between drunk&deed bots; do you plan to publish some docs & roadmap re those bots and/or whatever services you offer through them? | [05:14] |
| diana_coman: | whaack: that "weird foam" on leaves/trees is most likely the traces of "spittlebugs". | [05:27] |
| whaack: | diana_coman: ah ty, I'm glad I didn't touch it after reading about how spittlebugs make those bubbles | [14:55] |
| diana_coman: | lobbes: did you have anything on the agenda for today's talk? | [16:16] |
| diana_coman: | whaack: are you happy in the end with the stalling/spinning or what? | [16:17] |
| jfw: | made it to the fallback castle, and was not given a cooties test | [16:33] |
| diana_coman: | jfw: oh hey, congrats! | [16:33] |
| jfw: | ty diana_coman. dorion should be fine too, just has the longer leg on ground transit. | [16:35] |
| jfw: | the flight out of panama was packed; the connecting flight within US pretty light | [16:36] |
| diana_coman: | kind of to be expected, no? | [16:36] |
| diana_coman: | I suppose it's good that there still are connecting flights within US, huh | [16:37] |
| jfw: | I wasn't sure what to expect, e.g. some were cancelling flights while others booked | [16:37] |
| diana_coman: | confusion, what else to expect! | [16:38] |
| diana_coman: | lolz | [16:38] |
| diana_coman: | jfw: anyways, you have therefore *plenty* to review! | [16:39] |
| jfw: | dunno how much confusion, but complications were that the plane arrived late, and someone fell (said initial reports at least) during boarding and was de-planed | [16:40] |
| jfw: | plenty to review indeed; plenty to sleep first | [16:42] |
| diana_coman: | lol, thrown off the plane for stumbling? | [16:43] |
| jfw: | I'd guess more like passing out, but did not witness. | [16:43] |
| diana_coman: | but anyways, glad to hear you got where you wanted to be. | [16:44] |
| lobbes: | diana_coman: I had nothing specific to discuss for today | [16:45] |
| lobbes: | (or in general, for that matter!) | [16:46] |
| diana_coman: | lobbes: o.O ; are you done with discussing for the next 5 years or what? | [16:47] |
| lobbes: | diana_coman: no not at all lol. I just realized "nothing specific" was an odd phrasing | [16:49] |
| diana_coman: | lobbes: ah, it sounded like "nothing for today or in general" | [16:50] |
| lobbes: | but for today I'm just working through this article. Going to get my review n' such out. Still on track with my one-job-application-per-day too | [16:50] |
| diana_coman: | ok | [16:51] |
| whaack: | diana_coman: no i'm certainly not happpy with the stalling/spinning. Catalonia returned, which has returned me to a good mood while taking away time. | [17:08] |
| diana_coman: | lolz, the boomerang effect | [17:09] |

| diana_coman: | feedbot should announce it, but possibly it's slow today; /me looks | [18:21] |
| diana_coman: | trinque: I left a comment there, it's possibly a better place for the discussion anyway. | [18:21] |
| diana_coman: | do feel free to move it here though if you prefer/think it works better as a conversation. | [18:22] |
| diana_coman: | cruciform: what operating system are you using? | [18:23] |

| cruciform: | ubuntu 16.04 | [18:24] |
| diana_coman: | cruciform: can be worse, lol; anyways, re "no idea how long this will take so won't estimate", that's silly to start with; the point of estimating is precisely to start getting such ideas. | [18:26] |
| ossabot: | Logged on 2019-12-04 16:37:20 diana_coman: the learning/new part simply means that you double/triple/whatever your estimate because you clearly can't possibly estimate it correctly when you are not even sure wtf that thing is; then there is the above and the expecting-the-unexpected that comes on top and yes, it's more of a perspective shift indeed. | [18:26] |
| trinque: | diana_coman: http://trinque.org/2020/03/22/deedbots-future/#comment-201 | [18:27] |
| cruciform: | diana_coman, I thought it'd be better to have no estimate than an estimate pulled out of arse. I can see that this resolves to "not getting started" (however roughly). I'll go back and add time estimates. | [18:36] |
| diana_coman: | trinque: answered. | [18:42] |
| diana_coman: | cruciform: in what way better? | [18:42] |
| diana_coman: | (can be - but you have to make the case for it, can't just "better" :P ) | [18:42] |
| cruciform: | diana_coman, better in the sense that I was being lazy: avoiding the effort of estimating how long things'll take | [18:45] |
| diana_coman: | cruciform: btw, if you want to jump in anyway, can do worse than using the opportunity to write a short awk script to log your time; there's a quite good tutorial iirc. | [18:46] |
| cruciform: | diana_coman, thanks! I'll check it out; I've added time estimates to the post | [18:47] |
| diana_coman: | cruciform: aha; anyways, there you go, this has been essentially an #o light taster for you; re reading the logs to get an idea what it is about, perhaps better start with people's articles on their experience/getting in; some struggled with the question of "do I want in?" for a while. | [18:48] |
| diana_coman: | cruciform: also, you might want to change your article's category there, you *can* choose it, you know? | [18:51] |
| cruciform: | diana_coman, "derp" seems appropriate, at least for now ;) | [18:51] |
| diana_coman: | lol, ok then; anyways, have fun! | [18:52] |
| diana_coman: | will be back tomorrow. | [18:52] |
| dorion: | made it to vermont. | [18:57] |
| whaack: | dorion and jfw: good to hear you're back at your roots safe and sound. | [19:02] |
| whaack: | In coronavirus beach news: police are kicking surfers out of the water around here. | [20:31] |
| trinque: | bahaha, how is surfing not "social distancing" | [20:32] |
| whaack: | yeah...no idea. | [20:39] |
| whaack: | They closed most of the beaches though so I guess kicking the surfers out is just an extension of kicking everyone off the beach. It's pretty silly though because most of these beaches are ~deserted on a day to day basis anyways | [20:42] |
| BingoBoingo: | jfw dorion: Good to hear your transits passed smoothly | [21:07] |
