hautdesert: You deserve a break. YOu've been workinghard
all weekend, I think.
[14:07]
HeritagePartier: I just needed to rove around the

tasking. :)
[14:07]
Ansikalden: this is more important, yes? ;)
[14:08]
CKTC: Are you working from home or the office?
[14:08]
Susan: This weekend, last weekend, the whole bloody
week in bloody Scottsdale. Those resort conferences are no fun unless you
play golf. I'm at home, CK.
[14:08]
CKTC: I just posted a message at the chat thread
so hopefully if there are any others lost out there, we can get them here
eventually.
[14:08]
HeritagePartier: cktc, I'm not indecisive, I'm overwhelmed
by advanced knowledge. :)

[14:08]

[14:09]
Susan: Yoo-hoo, sevenall, you're allegedly here
but haven't heard from you.
[14:09]
hautdesert: Overwhelmed by advanced knowledge--I
like that!
[14:09]
HeritagePartier: So do I! It was so enticing a concept
that I parted with the cash to achieve it.
[14:09]
sevenall: Susan: Oh, I'm here, just multi-tasking,
like you.
[14:09]
hautdesert: Golf is okay. You get fresh air. But
I bet they expect you to play it well, don't they.
[14:09]
Susan: I don't think I can really multi task. Maybe
I'll try, though.
[14:10]
HeritagePartier: Golf? Hey, we've had snow flurries
here.
[14:10]
CKTC: I can't stand golf. I've tried playing it
a few times, but I was bored out of my mind.
[14:10]
sevenall: Chat is all about multi-tasking :-) Now
golf... it's unexpectedly difficult to play well.
[14:10]
CKTC: I do like driving golf carts though. They're
fun to race.
[14:10]
hautdesert: Well, it's boring if you pay attention.
If you just swing the club around a bit and have a beer or two, that' sfun.
[14:10]
Ansikalden: Can't stand golf - childhood trauma
[14:10]
CKTC: Childhood trauma?
[14:10]
sevenall: Someone didn't yell fore?
[14:11]
HeritagePartier: Oh, dear, ansi.
[14:11]
hautdesert: Supposedly my grandmother was a big
golfer and got a hole in one, once.
[14:11]
hautdesert: I've only played twice, and still don't
know how to play it.
[14:11]
CKTC: Cool. My father got a hole in one once too.
He was floating for a week, he was so happy.
[14:11]
sevenall: I only know that when hole-in-one happens,
you must buy everyone on the range champagne.
[14:11]
hautdesert: Oh, I bet he was!
[14:11]
hautdesert: Everyone???
[14:11]
CKTC: I've only played a few times too. I have no
intention of keeping with it.
[14:11]
CKTC: Eep.
[14:11]
HeritagePartier: That sounds like a specific course
rule. Haven't heard of it.
[14:12]
sevenall: Yep.There's a special insurance for when
that happens.
[14:12]
HeritagePartier: Champagne insurance? I wonder at
the cost.
[14:12]
hautdesert: I'm still wondering about ansi's childhood
trauma...
[14:12]
Susan: I went off an expanded on the Administrative
Fee. And look at all I missed.
[14:12]
sevenall: I wonder, period. And childhood trauma
I want to hear more about.
[14:13]
sevenall: Supposedly, the champagne is to be bought
at the clubhouse and they know how to charge.
[14:13]
CKTC: Yeah, me too. What happened, Ansi?
[14:13]
Susan: Anybody's childhood trauma? Like never being
able to serve the volleyball over the net?
[14:13]
Susan: Is yours worse than that, Ansi?
[14:13]
CKTC: Tactico is trying to get in, I think.
[14:14]

CKTC: ROFL
[14:14]
Ansikalden: I'd have Filed Intent - but I hadn't

[14:14]
Susan: It's always a mistake not to have read Foreigner
yet.
[14:14]
Ansikalden: I'll never get over it!
[14:15]
CKTC: What did they do? Frisk you? Search you? Were
you detained? Over golf clubs? Why?
[14:15]
Ansikalden: I can't stand hearing about golf!
[14:15]
Susan: We could change the subject.
[14:15]
CKTC: Okay. We'll switch subjects then. Hmm....
what to talk about....
[14:16]
Susan: The evolution of the central nervous system,
which gets very nervous.
[14:16]
sevenall: Susan: Must be.
[14:16]
sevenall: Did you walk with your back very straight?
[14:16]
sevenall: Volleyballs, Susan? :)

[14:17]
sevenall: I don't want to talk about the evolution
of the CNS...it's all I do at work. I say Evil Twin.
[14:17]

the group. Like a police spy, for example.

I can't remember who calls me Stormy
[14:36]
TacticoStormwind: And CK trust me, it's completely
fine
[14:36]
sevenall: MiniMuffin??? No way.
[14:36]
TacticoStormwind: The only people who call me MiniMuffin
is Kayla and her family, no one else
[14:36]
Susan: If CK called Tac MiniMuffin, what would Tac
call CK?
[14:36]
CKTC: Speaking of pastries, excuse me a moment.
I'm gonna get ma a cinnamon bagel.
[14:36]
CKTC: Anything but "pussycat".
[14:36]
Susan: He's nice to his mother.
[14:37]
Susan: How about "Sweetypie"?

CKTC: I don't know who Sabi is. Mystery guest of
the day.
[14:39]
CKTC: Q: What do you think CJC's gonna write after
Explorer?
[14:39]
Susan: Book.
[14:39]
sevenall: The dark and sinister bodyguard in the
background.
[14:39]
CKTC: Good answer.
[14:39]
TacticoStormwind: I should come in here with a clever
name in 1337 speak
[14:39]
HeritagePartier: Ah, we have security on hand.
[14:39]
BGrandrath: the cyteen sequel
[14:39]
Ansikalden: Oh, I'd never thought of that, Susan!
[14:40]
Susan: Learn something new everyday.
[14:40]
sevenall: Well, I sort of hope that her next book
won't be the cyteen sequel or the fortress sequel either.
[14:40]
HeritagePartier: I half remember something saying
that the Cyteen sequel is number 2 on her to-do list.
[14:40]
CKTC: I wonder what's number 1?
[14:40]
sevenall: Wasn't it the hammerfall sequel?
[14:40]
Susan: And I remember saying that number 1 is probably
the second Hammerfall book, cursed be it.

[14:41]
HeritagePartier: I'm glad someone enjoyed it.
[14:41]
CKTC: I liked Hammerfall. Not her best, but I wasn't
annoyed with it like some people were.
[14:42]
Susan: I spit in its mother's milk.
[14:42]
CKTC: Oh my!
[14:42]
HeritagePartier: I think I may have read it just
after the second Rhapsody book where people journey and journey and journey
and never seem to get anywhere.
[14:42]
BGrandrath: hammerfall was hard to read...I kept
waiting for them to get oof planet on a ship
[14:42]
CKTC: Maybe it's because I like desert stories.
[14:42]
Susan: From For Whom the Bell Tolls - Spanish curse.
[14:42]
TacticoStormwind: Are we talking about your Cherryh
books?
[14:42]
CKTC: Yup.
[14:42]
HeritagePartier: One of Martha Wells' books is a
desert story and I liked that one.
[14:42]
sevenall: And Hemingway.
[14:42]
CKTC: Any sci-fi books you like, Tac?
[14:42]
CKTC: I never liked Hemingway's stories.
[14:43]
TacticoStormwind: Should I leave....I know nothing
of this Cherryh
[14:43]
Susan: Why don't you try her?
[14:43]
sevenall: The Dispossessed is a desert story, sort
of. No, definitely stay, Tac!
[14:43]
CKTC: No, you don't have to leave.
[14:43]
Sabi: Quiek
[14:43]
CKTC: Lawrence of Arabia is my favorite desert movie.
[14:43]
Susan: You can say that again.
[14:43]
Susan: Quiek, I mean.
[14:43]
TacticoStormwind: The reason I don't read anything
by her is because I just don't enjoy reading that much anymore
[14:43]
sevenall: CK: I like Hemingway's way of writing
stream of consciousness.
[14:44]
Sabi: Quiek?
[14:44]
HeritagePartier: Tac,I'm sorry you're not enjoying
reading. It's the stuff of life to me.
[14:44]
* Sabi has changed subject to: I am the might Quiek
[14:44]
CKTC: That's too bad Tactico. Maybe you just haven't
found any really good books that suck you into the story?
[14:44]
Susan: Sabi said "Quiek."
[14:44]
BGrandrath: i must just not like hemingways conscieousness
[14:44]
TacticoStormwind: Perhaps
[14:44]
HeritagePartier: BG, I'm with you!
[14:44]
sevenall: It's funny you should say that, Tac, because
lately I've found that I enjoy reading less than I have before. I don't
know why.
[14:44]
CKTC: LOL, me neither.
[14:45]
CKTC: Ack, et tu, Sevenall?
[14:45]
Susan: It's because Explorer isn't out yet.
[14:45]
CKTC: How do you do the purple action text?
[14:45]
TacticoStormwind: I was all into LotR but then I
just lost interest at the end and I'm afraid to start The Two Towers
[14:45]
sevenall: I'll talk any old books to death, though.
[14:45]
CKTC: Oh, can't help you there. Loved the films.
Half loved-half hated the LOTR books.
[14:45]
Susan: Can't read em.
[14:45]
Ansikalden: I enjoy reading more and more
[14:45]
CKTC: I haven't read them in over 10 years, so I
don't remember much from them.
[14:45]
HeritagePartier: Unlike so many I know, it took
me many tries to get through the Tolkien books. It was totally a mood thing.
[14:45]
CKTC: Me too.
[14:46]
CKTC: Read the human/elven bits in one sitting,
and then the hobbit parts draaaaaaaaged.
[14:46]
Sabina: Didn´t like LoTR, the Books, didn´t
see the movie
[14:46]
CKTC: Took me 8 months to read the Hobbit and LOTR.
[14:46]
sevenall: TTT is slightly different from FotR, but
if you liked the beginning of FotR, TTT gets less like it and there's almost
nothing of it in RotK.
[14:46]
CKTC: I LOVED the movie though. All the problems
I had with the book were fixed by the movie.
[14:46]
=== Sabi has left
[14:46]
Susan: Sabi sure gets around
[14:46]
=== sabina has left
[14:46]
TacticoStormwind: Yeah the movie was kewl
[14:47]
CKTC: LOL, yeah.
[14:47]
sevenall: Personally, I was quite disappointed in
the movie, wasn't a bad movie, but Jackson's vision was very different
from mind.
[14:47]
HeritagePartier: After the fifth try I finally got
through the books in one summer. But that was longer ago than some of you
have years. (Sorry, CK, but your 10 years set that off!)

damiriji: I don't think I could read them again
[14:47]
Ansikalden: Loved the genealogy in Silmarillion...
[14:47]
BGrandrath: i first read LOTR 30 some years ago
[14:48]
sevenall: Possibly it was because I felt that one
big element of the books was the uncertainty of betrayal, the uncertainty
of what should be done, the making of the wrong choices.
[14:48]
TacticoStormwind: How do you get the action text
up there?
[14:48]
HeritagePartier: BG, I can top that by 5 years,
not being competitive, though. :)
[14:48]
Sabina: *giggles

[14:48]
CKTC: LOL, well, I don't think I could re-read LOTR
either. Once was enough.
[14:48]
HeritagePartier: I'm not sure what you refer to
as action text, Tac
[14:48]
TacticoStormwind: :sigh
[14:48]
TacticoStormwind: I'll eventually get it!!!
[14:48]
CKTC: the purple text.
[14:48]
Ansikalden: Once was enough

CKTC: I was wondering how to do that as well.

Sabina: So now a big question: Someone once (one
of our Pities) made a picture of the awful Atageini vase, who?
[14:51]
* TacticoStormwind hums Englands national anthem....why
because he doesn't know America's
[14:51]
* ansikalden will think of something soon
[14:52]
HeritagePartier: Tac, I think you should hum "Oh,
Canada" for a few, too.
[14:52]
CKTC: Which Atigeini vase?
[14:52]
Sabina: YOu know "the Vase", the one Ilisdi narrowly
missed
[14:52]
HeritagePartier: No doubt the one Uncle Tatiseigi's
mother didn't like.
[14:52]
* TacticoStormwind hums just the words "Oh Canada"
because that is all he knows of the Canadian nation anthem
[14:52]
CKTC: Where's the picture of it? I'm slow today.
[14:53]
HeritagePartier: Glorious and free are in there
somewhere.
[14:53]
CKTC: Isn't it Thanksgiving Day in Canada?
[14:53]
Sabina: Where is the Picture is the question
[14:53]
TacticoStormwind: Yes it is
[14:53]
Susan: Can anybody sing The Internationale?\

CKTC: Nope.
[14:53]
TacticoStormwind: I have some Canadian friends.
It is either today or like really soon
[14:53]
HeritagePartier: No, but I can do La Marseillaise
in French.
[14:53]
sevenall: Of course I can.
[14:53]
CKTC: I can do a stirring rendition of How Much
is that Doggy in the Window though.
[14:53]
Susan: Good for you, 7all
[14:54]
* ansikalden frowns in consternation
[14:54]

blood flows through our furrows!

something somethine
[14:55]
HeritagePartier: Hockey, hockey, rah, rah, rah?
[14:55]
TacticoStormwind: something*
[14:55]
Susan: In the abortive 1817 rising in Russia, the
ignorant people thought the Constitution was the wife of the pretender
Tsar
[14:55]
Susan: (The leaders of the rising wanted a Constitution)
[14:55]
sevenall: I've heard Sarah MacLachlan sing it but
with her poor diction I couldn't make out more than OhCanada either.
[14:55]
hautdesert: I'm always surprised when I hear Oh
Canada, because in my imagination it's the tune of "Oh Christmas Tree."
"Oh Canada, Oh Canada, how beautiful your branches..."
[14:55]
Susan: Oh, Canada, glorious and free, something
something to thee
[14:55]

refuses to feed me.

CKTC: The more Sabinas the merrier, I always thought.
[15:07]
Susan: Eventually maybe it will be an always cafe,
with people dropping in and out.
[15:07]
* ansikalden sings I'm here, here, here, here, here
[15:07]
TacticoStormwind: Ok well 90% of the time I'll be
free do some when the times are set
[15:07]
CKTC: Hopefully.
[15:07]
sevenall: Cafe is nice.
[15:07]
CKTC: Especially considering the cafes in my town
suck.
[15:07]
TacticoStormwind: to come*
[15:08]
* cktc sings "Ansi's here, she's here, she's here!"
[15:08]
Susan: The conference doesn't have to be "turned
on" or anything, people can just show up and put in the conference name
and there it is, if there's anybody else there too
[15:08]
hautdesert: This place isn't exactly a room that'
sopen--it's just an address that the server creates whenever someone types
it in. And anyone else who types it in joins you. So anyone who wants can
"come here" any time they like.
[15:08]
hautdesert: Stero!
[15:08]
CKTC: Kewl.
[15:08]
Susan: ?
[15:08]
CKTC: !
[15:08]
hautdesert: We both said more or less the same thing.
[15:09]
HeritagePartier: Jinx! As we said in childhood.
[15:09]
CKTC: I've heard of Jinx, not Stero though.
[15:09]
damiriji: doesn't that mean they both can't talk
until you release them?
[15:10]
sevenall: Must vacuum. Must have food. See you in
a few.
[15:10]
CKTC: No, it means you owe them a coke. Heh!
[15:10]
creature feature: that's what it always meant to
me
[15:10]
sevenall is now Away (away)
[15:10]
CKTC: You're gonna put VACUUMING before us?
[15:10]
CKTC: LOL
[15:10]
CKTC: Wow.
[15:10]
* ansikalden crying
[15:10]
* cktc sits around saying "ho hum"
[15:10]
hautdesert: Perhaps vacuuming is a colorful way
of describing sevenall's eating habits...
[15:11]
CKTC: ROFL
[15:11]
CKTC: I just can't picture it.
[15:11]
TacticoStormwind: 1337 5p34/< 1$ +3/-/ 0wN j00
[15:11]
* creaturefeature chuckles
[15:11]
creature feature: my dog certainly vacuums when
she eats.
[15:11]
CKTC: I have to admit to vacuuming as well.
[15:11]
TacticoStormwind: Haut, figure that one out!
[15:11]
CKTC: Especially potato dishes.
[15:12]
TacticoStormwind: It's one of the very few phrases
I know in 1337
[15:12]
CKTC: Anyone seen Red Dragon yet?
[15:12]
Ansikalden: I have to admit some confusion...
[15:12]
damiriji: no but read the book
[15:12]
damiriji: i liked it
[15:12]
CKTC: Cool. I'd never read it. I did see Manhunter
though.
[15:12]
hautdesert: 'Leet speak....something own you
[15:12]
HeritagePartier: What's confusing, Ansi?
[15:13]
damiriji: i never knew about Manhunter until a few
days ago
[15:13]
TacticoStormwind: Leet speak is teh own you
[15:13]
CKTC: I liked Red Dragon better than Manhunter.
[15:13]
CKTC: Manhunter had less of a budget, unknown characters.
[15:13]
creature feature: not sure i want to see a scary
film like that!
[15:13]
hautdesert: I read Red Dragon and liked it. Haven't
seen the new movie, though, or Manhunter.
[15:13]
CKTC: It was made my Michael Mann. I usually like
his movies, but not that one. It was made a while ago.
[15:13]
damiriji: i have to wait for video. :(
[15:14]
CKTC: CF, it's not as scary as Silence of the Lambs.
[15:14]
CKTC: Oh.
[15:14]
creature feature: it's not? hmm...
[15:14]
CKTC: Nope. But it's still pretty good. Better than
Hannibal.
[15:14]
creature feature: hannibal wasn't really scary anyway.
just rather gross
[15:15]
CKTC: True. It was more a love story than anything
else.

week.
[15:15]
creature feature: ewwwwwwww gross! love story!
[15:15]
damiriji: if they hadn't changed the ending it would
have been much better
[15:15]
CKTC: Well, it is!
[15:15]
CKTC: It sure as hell wasn't a horror movie.
[15:15]
creature feature: i thought it was like two films;
the first half was quite good, the second went rapidly downhill
[15:15]
CKTC: I agree.
[15:15]
TacticoStormwind: I'd agree. Hannible wasn't anywhere
near that of Silence of the Lambs
[15:16]
damiriji: that because they went Hollywood
[15:16]
CKTC: Yeah. Well, Red Dragon gets the series back
on track.
[15:16]
hautdesert: The first film used gore sparingly to
good effect. Hannibal was just gory.
[15:16]
Sabina: CK check your Chat bar

to have them on your roster.

[15:26]
Sabina: I send CK one
[15:27]

CKTC: Ack! It must have been Evil CK.
[15:28]
CKTC: Really, I have no idea. I didn't get any requests.

NOTE:
I somehow lost an hour's worth of text here. I'm not sure how that
happened. Sabina was kind enough to e-mail me a large part of the
missing chunk, but unfortunately, my e-mail program died on me, and I can't
access it at the moment. I will add it when I get Eudora working
again. Hopefully it'll be soon. Thanks! ---CK.
[16:35]
TacticoStormwind: lol
[16:36]
Azral: Haut - that is so true! When we all met in
August it was very hard to use proper names!
[16:36]
CKTC: Really? LOL.
[16:36]
Azral: You bet!
[16:36]
CKTC: So did you call each other by board or real
names?
[16:36]
TacticoStormwind: The only person I know off a board
IRL is a guy named Tyrak of Desar or Tyrak Swa Renko (real name is Ross)
[16:36]
Susan: I couldn't every imagine calling CK anything
else. George? Irving? Come on. CK it is.
[16:36]
TacticoStormwind: He is my best friend
[16:36]
CKTC: Which felt more comfortable, Azral? I'm curious.
[16:36]
hautdesert: I'm certain I would call you all by
board names.
[16:36]
Azral: But it was funny to hear CF ring Mule and
say Hi its Creature Feature!
[16:37]
hautdesert: LOL!
[16:37]
CKTC: LOL.
[16:37]
Azral: To be honest Nicks!
[16:37]
Ansikalden: Wonderful!
[16:37]
hautdesert: But he wouldn't have known her otherwise!
[16:37]
CKTC: That is so cool! LOL.
[16:37]
Susan: I do call CF by her real name sometimes,
but she referred to it on the board and it's in her profile. And it's purtier.
[16:37]
CKTC: I think of CF as "Cee Eff".
[16:37]
Ansikalden: But can you pronounce Ansikalden? ;)
[16:37]
Azral: We'd e mailed real names so hopefully !
[16:38]
CKTC: Sure. I don't know if I do so correctly, but
I have a mental sound of it.
[16:38]
CKTC: Besides, Ansi, I think of you as Ansi.
[16:38]
Susan: Me too.
[16:38]
Sabina: Ansi, use the phonetics list I´m willing
to put it up if you tell me the symbols
[16:38]
Ansikalden: I like it 'cause you call me that!

[16:39]
Ansikalden: Ansi, I mean'
[16:39]
hautdesert: I can't decide if it's "Ahnsee" or "Ansee"
(Short A like fan)
[16:39]
CKTC: I, being an American, tend to pronounce it
the same way as antsy.
[16:40]
TacticoStormwind: I always pronounse it Ansee
[16:40]
CKTC: LOL.
[16:40]
hautdesert: I vaccilate between the two.
[16:40]
Ansikalden: What!!!!
[16:40]
hautdesert: Oh, I guess it's Ahnsee
[16:40]
CKTC: Sorry! I don't think of it as a trait, though.
[16:40]
Susan: I admit I pronounce it like Tac.
[16:40]
CKTC: A as in Father, I guess.
[16:40]
Ansikalden: It's AN-see!
[16:40]
CKTC: A as if father or A as in cat?
[16:40]
Azral: I was gonna say that!
[16:40]
hautdesert: Yeah, but to us there are two possible
sound sfor An
[16:40]
Ansikalden: Not as in father, as in...
[16:41]
Susan: Apple?
[16:41]
CKTC: That's how I think of it.
[16:41]
Azral: As in Ann-see?
[16:41]
CKTC: Short A as in cat or apple.
[16:41]
Ansikalden: I/me is thinking of an English word...
[16:41]
hautdesert: That narrows it down.
[16:41]
Susan: Is it bigger than a breadbox?

[16:42]
Azral: 2nd!
[16:42]
CKTC: Doh!
[16:42]
hautdesert: woah! I was way off.
[16:42]
CKTC: I've always accented the first.

CKTC: LOL.
[16:43]
TacticoStormwind: Yes it is!!!
[16:44]
CKTC: FYI, CKTC is NOT pronounced sskkktttttssss.
[16:44]
TacticoStormwind: I have one of the easiest names
to pronounce
[16:44]
Ansikalden: Right! UN-see is close.
[16:44]
Sabina: Ansi, I´ll put it up in Unicode, if
you tell me the numbers
[16:44]
damiriji: I have to go bye everyone and have a good
day.
[16:44]
CKTC: Cool. I actually like that pronunciation better.

Sabina: I have to go soon, too (Somebody else going
to log the conversation?)
[16:46]
TacticoStormwind: I thought I had my AIM IM clicked

Don't think it's used much anymore.

[16:47]
HeritagePartier: Hi, again. Supper's simmering and
I have another moment.
[16:47]
CKTC: Hi HP!
[16:47]
Sabina: Have fun, CK ;)
[16:47]
* ansikalden has changed the subject to: Tac got
the last word on the subject!
[16:47]
HeritagePartier: It looks like you've scared away
several people.
[16:47]
Azral: Hi HP! Thank goodness thats abbreviated!
[16:47]
CKTC: LOL, yeah. It'll probably give me a headache.
[16:48]
CKTC: Yes, we're dropping like flies, HP.
[16:48]
Ansikalden: Make me clever, CK!
[16:48]
CKTC: LOL, Ansi!
[16:48]
HeritagePartier: I'm usually called HP on the boards
by all of you, so I answer to it. :)
[16:48]
Sabina: If you send it to me, I´ll convert
it to proper html (But my e-mail has changed)
[16:48]
Azral: My little fingters are not fast enough today!
[16:48]
CKTC: No, don't worry, Sabina. I'll do it.
[16:49]
CKTC: Has it?
[16:49]
hautdesert: I finally went and did that typing test,
and foun dI"ve gone from 45 wpm to 60! Woohoo!
[16:49]
CKTC: Woohoo!
[16:49]
Azral: Mybe I need some preactice!
[16:49]
Sabina: I keep telling you for half a year, but
now it becomes acute
[16:49]
CKTC: The forums boosted my speed up quite a bit.
[16:49]
HeritagePartier: Are you taking keyboarding, haut?
I'm teaching three sections of it at the moment. :(
[16:49]
CKTC: There's a site online that shows you your
typing speed, HP.
[16:49]
hautdesert: wow! I took typing in high school. On
a typewriter.
[16:49]
* ansikalden is a slow typer and proud of it
[16:50]
CKTC: http://www.typingtest.com/
[16:50]
hautdesert: One of the most useful things I ever
learned.
[16:50]
Sabina: So, nobody knows where I can find a picture
of the Atageini vase?
[16:50]
CKTC: My mom taught me how to type.
[16:50]
Azral: AS long as noone expects to make sense of
what I type - Im fast!
[16:50]
HeritagePartier: Same here, as far as learning.
Nowadays there's great software out there. I'll remember the URL and suggest
it to a few of my most capable students.
[16:50]
hautdesert: I didn't even know it existed, Sabina.
[16:50]
CKTC: Sorry, Sabina. I'll keep an eye out for it
though.
[16:50]
hautdesert: Well, I do ninety, if you do't want
to have to read it.
[16:51]
Sabina: The link is somewhere in the pit
[16:51]
CKTC: It doesn't teach, HP, it only measures your
speed if you're curious.
[16:51]
HeritagePartier: If I find it again, Sabina, I'll
let you know. I keep thinking it was something I saw at the beginning of
summer.
[16:51]
CKTC: If I'm sloppy, I can do over 100, but I make
mistakes that way.
[16:51]
HeritagePartier: CK, I've got the lessons for all
of them, but an additional speed test might amuse some of them.
[16:51]
Sabina: Summer, Sztranger than Truth rings true
[16:51]
hautdesert: My mom types with four fingers and her
thumb--I learned watching her, and had to unlern it all in school.
[16:51]
HeritagePartier: Sabina, I seem to remember it being
a link to someone's personal web site.
[16:51]
CKTC: One handed?
[16:52]
hautdesert: No, index and second of each hand.
[16:52]
hautdesert: With a thumb for the space bar.
[16:52]
Sabina: Ansi denies responsiblity
[16:52]
hautdesert: She's pretty fast, but she can't look
away from the screen.
[16:52]
hautdesert: Or her fingers.
[16:52]
CKTC: Oh.
[16:53]
hautdesert: I have been eternally grateful for the
ability to touch-type--no lack of temp jobs that way.
[16:53]
CKTC: I can't imagine posting any other way. I don't
like to have to look at my hands.
[16:54]
CKTC: Lull. :) Has it been 7 or 20 minutes?
[16:54]
* ansikalden has time to check the dictionary
[16:54]
* cktc wonders what Ansi will find.
[16:54]
Sabina: Bye
[16:54]
Azral: Since what?
[16:54]
CKTC: Bye, Sabina! Thanks for coming.
[16:54]
hautdesert: What I like is, when I started, I had
to think of each letter, and with an unfamiliar word (like unfamiliar)
i stil do, but with common words I just think them and there they are on
the screen.
[16:54]
Azral: Bye Sabina
[16:54]
CKTC: Since the last Lull in the conversation, Azral.
[16:54]
Ansikalden: While typing, I mean, that's how slow
it goes.
[16:54]
hautdesert: bye, sabina!
[16:55]
Azral: Oh I see!
[16:55]
Ansikalden: But I use ALL fingers
[16:55]
HeritagePartier: Is everyone trying to make Sabina
go away?
[16:55]
hautdesert: I think Sabina said bye.
[16:55]
CKTC: We were talking earlier, saying that every
7 or 20 minutes there's a lull. Haut had heard 20, I had heard 7.
[16:55]
=== sabina has left
[16:55]
HeritagePartier: Ah, it's easy to stick around one
more minute...and one more minute...
[16:55]
CKTC: Sabina said bye. I don't want her to go away,
but if she must, she must.
[16:55]
CKTC: Heehee. Chat crack.
[16:56]
hautdesert: CK, my brain processsed that the wrong
way at first....
[16:56]
Ansikalden: My back hurts
[16:56]
hautdesert: And I had to really think hard.
[16:56]
CKTC: It's like when you're a kid, and you have
to go to bed early while the adults are still at the party.
[16:56]
CKTC: LOL, haut!
[16:56]
hautdesert: LOL!
[16:56]
HeritagePartier: Poor Ansi. It's late there and
you've been around since the earliest minutes of the chat that I know of.
[16:56]
CKTC: If we get Ansi really tired, maybe she'll
post some funny things.
[16:57]
* ansikalden is greatful for HP's sympathy
[16:57]
CKTC: What word did you find, Ansi?
[16:57]
Azral: My head hurts, but that's just stress! LOL!
[16:57]
HeritagePartier: Is that kind?
[16:57]
hautdesert: No, but it's amusing!
[16:57]
Ansikalden: What! I'm never funny!
[16:57]
hautdesert: ROFL, Ansi!
[16:57]
CKTC: Sure you are, Ansi! You're gently humorous.
[16:57]
* ansikalden looks sideways at everyone present
[16:58]
HeritagePartier: That's quite a trick, Ansi!
[16:58]
* cktc grins back at Ansi.
[16:58]
Azral: You beat me to it HP! I was gonna say that!
[16:58]
CKTC: LOL
[16:58]
Ansikalden: But NOT a funny trick, mind you!
[16:58]
CKTC: Psychic moment.
[16:58]
Azral: Yep!
[16:58]
HeritagePartier: It depends upon the expression
on your face.
[16:58]
CKTC: Okay, okay. Always a very serious and reserved
Ansi.
[16:58]
Azral: Reserved for what?
[16:59]
CKTC: Oh my.
[16:59]
* ansikalden has a serene face
[16:59]
CKTC: LOL. Serenity suits you.
[16:59]
* cktc is anything but serene.
[16:59]
HeritagePartier: Let's liven Ansi up! Hey, need
a copy of Explorer?
[16:59]
Azral: It's the way it falls in soft folds around
Ansi's ankles
[16:59]
Ansikalden: Reserved for serenity
[16:59]
CKTC: LOL, Az.
[17:00]
CKTC: Ack! HP, that's cruel.
[17:00]
CKTC: :-P
[17:00]
hautdesert: Or generous...
[17:00]
CKTC: Or both.
[17:00]
HeritagePartier: No, I'm wondering if Ansi should
get the extra copy of Explorer I'll have.
[17:00]
* ansikalden is speechless when HP mentions Explorer
[17:00]
Azral: Hey all you fast typists could transcribe
it for Ansi, here!
[17:00]
CKTC: I can wait.....*grits teeth*... No really,
no problem....
[17:00]
HeritagePartier: Well, I believe you've said the
arrival of new CJC books is very tardy in your neighborhood.
[17:00]
CKTC: How many more days? ACK!
[17:00]
hautdesert: I'm not that fast! It took me months
to get through Foreigner.
[17:01]
hautdesert: Check the countdown..
[17:01]
CKTC: Typing it?
[17:01]
Azral: We can wait! LOL!
[17:01]
hautdesert: Yep. For the quote site.
[17:01]
HeritagePartier: No, I thought I'd mail it.
[17:01]
* ansikalden sings I live in a backwater kind of
place
[17:01]
CKTC: Woohoo, 23!
[17:01]
hautdesert: I'm halfway through Invader, and haven't
gotten back to it for awhile.
[17:02]
CKTC: 23 days until Explorer. 65 days until TTT.
260 days until I graduate from residency. Things are looking good!
[17:02]
HeritagePartier: So--when I finish a re-reading
of the advance copy I have, I'd be pleased to extend the courtesy of sending
it in your general direction.
[17:02]
hautdesert: Woohoo, CK!
[17:02]
HeritagePartier: CK, you're watching the clock!
[17:02]
CKTC: Heck, yeah!
[17:03]
Ansikalden: HP, I'm... I'm...
[17:03]
HeritagePartier: eager to read, yes?
[17:03]
hautdesert: speechless, apparently.
[17:03]
CKTC: Yeah. Wow.
[17:03]
Ansikalden: What can I do?
[17:03]
HeritagePartier: Well, I pity anyone who has to
wait even longer than the rest of us to read the latest installment in
The Exciting Adventures of Bren Cameron.
[17:03]
Ansikalden: And say?
[17:04]
HeritagePartier: Let me have your address and I'll
see it wanders across the ocean.
[17:04]
CKTC: Me too. Waiting until the release date is
bad enough.
[17:04]
hautdesert: Hmmm.
[17:04]
* hautdesert ponders
[17:04]
CKTC: I don't mind waiting though. November's gonna
be a crazy month.
[17:05]
Ansikalden: Ther's the thing about postage, too
[17:05]
* cktc airs out the cobwebs in his brain.
[17:05]

[17:05]
HeritagePartier: It can't be that bad for postage.
[17:05]
* cktc is thinking of food again.
[17:05]
hautdesert: Overseas, it can be.
[17:05]
hautdesert: Sometimes.
[17:05]
* ansikalden thinks angles have names
[17:05]
hautdesert: But worth it, I'd think.
[17:05]
HeritagePartier: I had to send things to my brother
when he was in Helsinki last year. It's not that bad.
[17:05]
hautdesert: Yes, some are called "obtuse" and some
"acute"
[17:05]
HeritagePartier: Please, let me be acute!
[17:06]
* cktc is growing suspicious since Azral hasn't uttered
a peep.
[17:06]

hautdesert: Uh-oh! supper's burning!
[17:08]
Azral: I was trying to work out how to get the bit
in purple? Doh!
[17:08]
hautdesert: make a slash and then type "me" with
no space in between the slash and the me. Then space, and type the rest
that you want.
[17:08]
Azral: Thanks Haut!
[17:08]
hautdesert: */me makes an example
[17:09]

[17:19]
CKTC: It's sunny and cool here too. Perfect weather,
actually.
[17:19]
creature feature: it's rolled oats that you heat
up with water (ugh) or milk (yum) to make a gooey substance.
[17:19]
hautdesert: I think it's any kind of "meal" but
I've usually heard it for oatmeal.
[17:19]
CKTC: Blue skies, lazy clouds, temp in the 60's.
[17:19]

[17:19]
creature feature: yup. i'm a heretic
[17:19]
Azral: I take it we are talking instant here CF?
[17:19]
hautdesert: I tried it that way, and didn't like
it. But I like cream of wheat that way, not with water.
[17:19]

oats, straight out the packet
[17:19]
hautdesert: Ah, instant!
[17:20]
CKTC: I've never been much for breakfast goos.
[17:20]

oats?
[17:20]
creature feature: are you trying to tell me that
there are people who, like, grind up their own oats or something?
[17:20]
CKTC: Yeah, they grow it in their window sills.
[17:20]
creature feature: no, i boil it up in the pan and
it does bubbling lava impressions
[17:20]
hautdesert: No, but you have to cook them, if you
do't get instant ones.
[17:20]
CKTC: No. they don't.
[17:20]
Azral: So not instant - real!
[17:21]
creature feature: aha!
[17:21]
hautdesert: Some porridge you just pour boiling
water over, and the rehydrate. Some you have to boil
[17:21]

instant flavors are kind of nice.
[17:21]
Azral: Ach Aye!
[17:21]

glad we cleared up that important point of contention!
[17:21]

for brekky!

& cold water, nuke it for 2 minutes.
[17:22]
creature feature: okay, but i only have it in the
evening

And I had to pet her and say was so sorry, now eat and I'll play with you
later and take you to your sister tomorrow so you can climb trees there.

oats, and tried to make some once, from my canister of real ones. He was
disappointed.
[17:22]
Azral: Old fashioned! Boiled up and simmered for
ages with salt in it!

[18:17]
CKTC: Yeah, they are.
[18:17]
CKTC: And it makes scheduling these chats difficult!
[18:17]
Ansikalden: It's bedtime here... :)... really, it
is...not that you'll believe me :p
[18:17]
CKTC: No, I believe you.
[18:18]
CKTC: It must be past midnight there.
[18:18]
creature feature: yeh. it's not usually a problem
here because ordinarly i stay up until about 1am
[18:18]
CKTC: Me too. I usually stay up well past midnight.
[18:18]
Ansikalden: I meant since I never go to bed...
[18:18]
CKTC: You don't?
[18:18]
CKTC: Woohoo! We're all nightowls.
[18:18]
Ansikalden: I linger, you notice?
[18:18]
CKTC: LOL, yup.

Azral is now Available
[18:19]
=== Azral has joined
[18:19]
creature feature: there's definitely two classes
of people. one sort gets up early, always, and goes to bed early. the other
sort always goes to bed and gets up late.
[18:19]
* ansikalden is thinking awake thoughts
[18:19]
CKTC: In an ideal world, I'd go to bed at 5AM and
wake up at noon.
[18:19]
creature feature: i always find that even if i have
to get into a routine of getting up early, the minute i don't have to,
i stay up late again :b
[18:19]
Ansikalden: Lovely
[18:19]
CKTC: Same here, CF!
[18:19]
Azral: Late to bed early to rise!
[18:20]
creature feature: hmm, i'm not that extreme. probably
go to bed at 1-2 and get up at 11
[18:20]
Ansikalden: I love sleeping in the morning!
[18:20]
creature feature: me too :)
[18:20]
CKTC: Me too. I love being able to stay in bed and
not get up right away.
[18:20]
CKTC: And I like staying up late at night because
it's quiet. And the air smells nice.
[18:20]
Ansikalden: To stay in bed and read a bit before
rising for real
[18:20]
Azral: I feel like the White Rabbit all the time!
No time to lie in!
[18:21]
creature feature: it's funny though, if i do have
to get up really early, i always appreciate the dawn
[18:21]
CKTC: That's how I am at night.
[18:21]
CKTC: I'd rather appreciate the dawn before going
to bed.
[18:21]
creature feature: lol!
[18:22]
* creaturefeature is listening to everyday by the
cinematic orchestra, which is very good
[18:22]
CKTC: I used to do that sometimes, go completely
nocturnal for a week or two during medschool exams.
[18:22]
Ansikalden: Owwww, I like the dawn in winter
[18:22]
Ansikalden: 8-9 a.m.
[18:22]
CKTC: Winter is good!
[18:22]
CKTC: what is the cinematic orchestra?
[18:22]
creature feature: a sort of jazz group
[18:23]
CKTC: Oh! I don't know much about jazz, but I like
listening to it. Except for the really arty stuff with no melody.
[18:23]
creature feature: i don't really like jazz, but
i like their stuff
[18:23]
CKTC: Oh.
[18:25]
* ansikalden twirls in a circle looking for her friends
[18:25]
* cktc gets dizzy watching Ansi.
[18:25]
* Azral waves at Ansi
[18:26]
Ansikalden: Oh, there you are!
[18:26]
* cktc tries to climb curtains as well.
[18:26]
Ansikalden: CK, where's your dignity?
[18:26]
Azral: Bad Kitty! Have you no shame!
[18:26]
CKTC: What dignity? ;)
[18:26]
Azral: There we go again! LOL!
[18:26]
CKTC: Nope.
[18:27]
* ansikalden says "Be dignified"
[18:27]
* cktc tries really hard, but it goes against his
nature!
[18:27]
Ansikalden: OK, just a thought... ;)
[18:28]
CKTC: LOL
[18:28]
creature feature: awwwwww right! I was just browsing
through my Amazon recommendations, and in my DVD section they recommended
the first season of Red Dwarf - they're finally releasing it on DVD! Woohoo!
[18:29]
CKTC: Hmm! I've never seen that show.
[18:29]
Ansikalden: Red Dwarf, wonderful!
[18:29]
Azral: I was watching RD last night on Sky! Did
you see any
[18:29]
CKTC: They've shown it on cable here, but I can't
remember what channel.
[18:29]
Azral: Back to back eps
[18:30]
creature feature: i don't have sky, sob. i've only
seen bits and pieces of it on the BBC
[18:30]
Azral: Oh CF! Poor You! Come and visit one time
and we can watch loads of RD!
[18:31]
creature feature: that is a good idea :)
[18:31]
Ansikalden: I'm years behind, lightspeed still takes
time :(
[18:31]
creature feature: they're releasing season 1 on
Nov 4. Remind me to stop spending money this month, or I won't be able
to buy all the November stuff I want!
[18:31]
Azral: LOL!
[18:32]
CKTC: Like Explorer.
[18:33]
creature feature: top of the list
[18:33]
CKTC: Heh!
[18:33]
* ansikalden whispers "Explorer!"
[18:33]
CKTC: Too many good things to wait for this season.
Woohoo!
[18:34]
Azral: So ...um can't you just go and download the
new version, like anyone else? :-p
[18:34]
Ansikalden: It'll be dull after newyear
[18:34]
creature feature: i hate it how everything good
comes out in the winter. all the good films for example. it feels like
having to starve all summer, then binge eat all winter!
[18:34]
CKTC: No, 'cause then there's next year's batch
of movies and books to wait for. Woohoo!
[18:34]
CKTC: Well, blame the Oscars for that.
[18:34]
* ansikalden suspects CK of liking to wait
[18:34]
CKTC: I actually like the summer movies.
[18:34]
CKTC: It's the time between Jan and April that sucks!
[18:35]
CKTC: No good action movies. No good dramas.
[18:35]
* cktc confirms ansi's suspicions.
[18:35]
creature feature: i'm not usually keen on summer
films
[18:35]
CKTC: I like summer and winter films for completely
different reasons. Both are good for me. The big action/sci-fi movies usually
come out in summer.
[18:36]
Ansikalden: But summer, oh lovely summer, go out
into the nature not to the movies :p
[18:36]
creature feature: yeh, i guess i'm not that keen
on action films ftmp
[18:36]
CKTC: But Jan-early April is usually a bad time
since there are no good dramas or action movies.
[18:36]
CKTC: Summer's too hot here! It's nice to cool off
at the movies.
[18:36]

damiriji: marathon chat?

damiriji: was just popping

[18:38]
Azral: Thats' good the hear! CF
[18:38]
