| 22:59:15 | LoneWolfy | How do you do levelgen scripts? |
| 23:01:27 | LoneWolfy | not even the new triggers, just basics |
| 23:20:34 | | raptor has joined |
| 23:20:34 | | ChanServ sets mode +o raptor |
| 23:20:51 | raptor | never fear raptor is here! |
| 23:21:34 | LoneWolfy | YAY |
| 23:22:15 | raptor | or is he... |
| 23:22:40 | LoneWolfy | i don't know. |
| 23:25:03 | raptor | hundreds and hundreds of GCI e-mails... |
| 23:25:14 | raptor | ok, maybe only 200 |
| 23:27:42 | LoneWolfy | GCI? |
| 23:27:43 | Watusimoto | hi there |
| 23:27:49 | raptor | hello |
| 23:27:51 | LoneWolfy | hi |
| 23:27:52 | Watusimoto | I hardly got any gci mails! |
| 23:27:58 | raptor | Google Code-In |
| 23:28:01 | raptor | lucky! |
| 23:28:02 | LoneWolfy | ah. |
| 23:29:53 | Watusimoto | welcome home! |
| 23:29:58 | raptor | thanks |
| 23:30:24 | raptor | the world hasn't seemed to have collapsed in my absence... |
| 23:30:31 | Watusimoto | so I've been playing with this notification widget. I really like it! |
| 23:30:43 | Watusimoto | I like it so much I went ahead and wrote one for Mint |
| 23:30:53 | raptor | ha! |
| 23:30:58 | raptor | i shoudl try it... |
| 23:31:09 | Watusimoto | I have noticed that we get tons of players, but they all seem to miss each other |
| 23:31:18 | Watusimoto | it's like someone is connecting every 10 minutes |
| 23:31:24 | Watusimoto | then disconnecting |
| 23:31:29 | raptor | haha, yeah - that's what i see at work.. |
| 23:31:32 | Watusimoto | then a few minutes later, someone else connects |
| 23:31:37 | LoneWolfy | hmm |
| 23:31:39 | Watusimoto | so maybe these widgets would help |
| 23:31:43 | LoneWolfy | i was super laggy earlier |
| 23:31:52 | LoneWolfy | i had to reconnect |
| 23:32:00 | LoneWolfy | until i wasat Lone Wolf.2 |
| 23:32:02 | Watusimoto | people could see when others were on and maybe it would help make more games happen |
| 23:32:16 | LoneWolfy | What's Mint? |
| 23:32:29 | Watusimoto | an awesome linux |
| 23:32:35 | LoneWolfy | oh |
| 23:32:53 | raptor | until the next awesome linux... |
| 23:32:56 | Watusimoto | anyway, the windows one needs a little more polish, but works well enough that we could distribute it as-is ina beta form |
| 23:33:04 | Watusimoto | I'm holding out for unity! |
| 23:33:20 | raptor | then back to ubuntu? |
| 23:33:26 | Watusimoto | yessir! |
| 23:33:35 | Watusimoto | unity needs just one more iteration before it's perfect |
| 23:33:38 | Watusimoto | ly unusable |
| 23:33:39 | raptor | you linux fanbois... |
| 23:35:04 | raptor | hmm, ok personal e-mail cleaned up... i'll do work e-mail tomorrow. dare i check the BF forums? |
| 23:36:41 | Watusimoto | not too bad |
| 23:36:46 | Watusimoto | I've been hodling down the fort |
| 23:37:14 | raptor | also, have i missed anything in the world news? seems as though a week's worth is hard to sort out... |
| 23:37:35 | Watusimoto | well, surely you heard about the shooting |
| 23:37:53 | Watusimoto | that's been dominating the us news |
| 23:38:14 | Watusimoto | well, that and our inability to agree on any sort of budget deal |
| 23:38:19 | raptor | yes, in my family's home state |
| 23:38:28 | Watusimoto | yup |
| 23:38:28 | raptor | ah, i wondered about that too |
| 23:38:54 | Watusimoto | other than that, things are about the same, for better or worse |
| 23:39:20 | raptor | actually, and i may be wrong, it seems as though they intented the 'fiscal cliff' to happen, but they are doing due diligence in pretending that it would be horrible |
| 23:39:29 | raptor | *intend |
| 23:39:36 | Watusimoto | I don't think so |
| 23:39:56 | Watusimoto | well, maybe some people |
| 23:40:12 | raptor | but honestly, i can't stand the talk on the subject much - every report is trying to tell me what to think |
| 23:40:46 | Watusimoto | polls show that if things don't get fixed, republicans will be blamed. also, taxes will go up. so this gives dems less incentive to make a big comprimise. |
| 23:41:07 | | LoneWolfy Quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds) |
| 23:41:25 | Watusimoto | also, this was a big issue in the election, so obama is claiming a public mandate |
| 23:41:26 | raptor | the media did an excellent job at pre-blaming the republicans |
| 23:41:51 | raptor | but i don't care about blame much |
| 23:41:56 | Watusimoto | I disagree with that -- I think they have only themselves to blame |
| 23:42:07 | Watusimoto | that's because you're not running for election! |
| 23:42:14 | raptor | haha, true |
| 23:42:40 | raptor | i am definitely a believer in blaming yourself if something goes wrong (in most circumstances) |
| 23:42:54 | Watusimoto | but regardless, I don;t see a lot of hope. The only way to pass anything in the house is either with full tea party support, or with some support from liberal dems |
| 23:43:19 | raptor | yeah, i'm not particularly hopeful either.. |
| 23:43:21 | Watusimoto | full tea party support == far too right to pass in house or to get obama to sign (i.e. no tax increases at all) |
| 23:44:01 | Watusimoto | liberal dem support means something far enough to the left that 2/3s of republicans will call it a captiulation |
| 23:44:13 | raptor | sigh |
| 23:44:15 | Watusimoto | and that will lead to all out civil war |
| 23:44:30 | Watusimoto | I think the republicans have basically screwed themselves |
| 23:44:38 | Watusimoto | they're really stuck |
| 23:45:00 | Watusimoto | on the other hand, the next election isn't for 2 years, and everyone will have forgotten this by then |
| 23:45:42 | Watusimoto | so if the republicans just bite the bullet, they can raise some new ruckus in 2 years, stir up their base, and get reelected |
| 23:46:27 | raptor | i don't think i see much hope for republicans in the near future |
| 23:46:48 | Watusimoto | the real problem, as I see it, is that so many house seats are "safe" -- a huge number of seats are only competitive within the party that holds them, forcing reps to the right and dems to the left |
| 23:47:01 | Watusimoto | the center is emptying out |
| 23:47:25 | raptor | 'their base' isn't really there's, i think - idealogically, at least |
| 23:47:32 | raptor | theirs |
| 23:47:36 | raptor | argh! grammar fail |
| 23:48:37 | Watusimoto | I think there is a real potential for the rep party to split, either forming a 3rd party, or creating a situation where there are essentially 2 parties calling themselves republicans |
| 23:48:43 | | koda has joined |
| 23:48:50 | raptor | yes, me too |
| 23:49:05 | raptor | the republicans today are not the republicans of the 50/60s |
| 23:49:12 | Watusimoto | I would hope that would create some room for moderates... but I'm not sure |
| 23:49:15 | raptor | and this last presidential election showed that |
| 23:49:24 | Watusimoto | Romney was from the 50s! |
| 23:49:32 | Watusimoto | Golly! |
| 23:49:54 | Watusimoto | The republicans from the 80s are gone too |
| 23:50:37 | Watusimoto | oh well... it's easy to disassociate when you are observing from the outside |
| 23:50:51 | raptor | i'm thinking of Goldwater republicans - it seemed to me that Ron Paul was more like that |
| 23:51:15 | raptor | maybe i don't have a good enough grasp of the prevailing theories of the time... considering that i wasn't even born yet |
| 23:52:02 | Watusimoto | I want to see a libertarian movement inside the dem party |
| 23:52:10 | raptor | ha! |
| 23:52:11 | raptor | yes |
| 23:52:23 | Watusimoto | actually, that's what the pirate party would be |
| 23:52:25 | raptor | i wonder what that would look like.. |
| 23:53:50 | Watusimoto | it would look like a technilogical/environmental hybrid, supporting regulation on business but individual freedom and open government |
| 23:54:02 | raptor | i can see that |
| 23:54:22 | Watusimoto | sort of an anti-corprorate, pro-individual kind fo thing |
| 23:54:27 | Watusimoto | I think it's entirely feasible |
| 23:54:52 | Watusimoto | good governance, not anti-governance |
