03:57 eythian    Really? How odd.
03:57 wizzyrea   before the real content
03:57 cjh        oh you were replying to wizzyrea, my bad.
03:57 wizzyrea   mine had an ad :P
03:57 eythian    that wasn't an ad, that was a video
03:56 cjh        the video rangi linked.
03:56 eythian    the ad?
03:54 cjh        'we didnt burn him' heh
03:50 wizzyrea   the ad efore that is quite interesting. it's got benedict cumberbatch. I cannot say no.
03:49 rangi      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOtpgz4L5d8
03:49 wizzyrea   with 2 o's to reflect the proper way to say "two"
03:49 wizzyrea   twoo would probably be more likely to do that.
03:49 cjh        http://blog.nj.com/entertainment_impact_tv/2008/07/large_middleman-sino.jpg
03:49 eythian    It was quite ridiculous, but still entertaining.
03:48 eythian    I don't think it actualy existed here.
03:48 wizzyrea   "it ran for one season in the US - I know we should buy it!" - TV4
03:48 eythian    I dunno, I downloaded it.
03:48 wizzyrea   is that one of those american reject tv shows that you all are famous for
03:47 eythian    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Middleman_(TV_series)
03:47 eythian    yeah, it was the standard social network in "The Middleman"
03:47 wizzyrea   kek.
03:47 trea       friendface
03:47 wizzyrea   myfaceinatube redirects to abcfamily
03:46 eythian    it makes more appropriate references, and is correct to the show that I used to watch
03:46 wizzyrea   myface. silly.
03:46 eythian    yeah, I meant myfaceinatube.com
03:46 jcamins    wizzyrea: good to know.
03:46 wizzyrea   apparently you could still register yourfaceinatube.com
03:46 jcamins    twimblerbookterestube.
03:46 jcamins    You're right. I should aim higher.
03:46 wizzyrea   *giggle*
03:46 jcamins    eythian: hehe.
03:45 eythian    don't forget to put it up on Yourfaceinatube.com!
03:45 * wizzyrea blinks
03:45 trea       sounds awful
03:44 * jcamins  heads to bed, having spent the last forty-five minutes contemplating how to make early modern cooking "trend" on Twimblerbookterest.
03:16 dcook      [off] Exactly. Actually, even as a non-business owner, I'm getting to the point where I feel it's important to express one's personality. Sure, it might not get you the job at the evil multinational, but if your personality doesn't mesh with their desires, why would you want that job anyway?
03:14 jcamins    [off] Plus, isn't that why we go into business for ourselves, so that our professional personae can say things like that?
03:12 jcamins    [off] A lot of my friends were horrified that that was how I started off my home page, but I always say if it doesn't express my personality, what's the point?
03:11 dcook      [off] lol. love it
03:10 jcamins    eythian: I'll use that to do it.
03:09 jcamins    [off] dcook: relevant to that: http://www.jaredcamins.com/
03:09 wahanui    cooking help is http://awfullibrarybooks.net/kitchen-tech/
03:09 eythian    wahanui: cooking help
03:09 eythian    I've told you already.
03:09 dcook      [off] Admittedly, my imagination kept pointing to eating books, but writing a cookbook is probably a better idea
03:09 jcamins    I have decided to make it my life's work to revive seventeenth century cooking... AND MAKE IT GO VIRAL ON TWIMBLERBOOKTEREST
03:08 jcamins    [off] Like... writing a cookbook? :D
03:07 dcook      [off] I wonder if there is a way to further combine your love of books and food...
03:07 dcook      I like the last requirement :p
03:06 jcamins    [off] A friend of mine says that I should leave libraries and do this: http://www.jobscore.com/jobs/buzzfeed/assistant-food-editor/cHpKuEUair4O7seJe4iefn?Board=Indeed
03:05 jcamins    lol
03:05 dcook      I do feel like I'm having a good hair day...
03:05 jcamins    "Why hellooo David, your hair looks great today."
03:04 dcook      complimentary complementary shuttle buses must be the best
03:04 jcamins    Even better are complimentary shuttle buses.
03:04 * dcook    loves complementary shuttle buses
02:58 eythian    http://io9.com/the-trailer-for-alfonso-cuarons-gravity-will-turn-your-499171122
02:56 * jcamins  e-mails Nancy.
02:53 jcamins    That's a problem.
02:53 jcamins    Oh, I guess there won't be any sponsorship information for two weeks.
02:46 jcamins    Oh wonderful, wise wizzyrea, any chance you could link "KohaCon13 Schedule" on http://koha-community.org/kohacon/kohacon13/ to http://koha-community.org/kohacon/kohacon13/schedule/ ?
02:45 * jcamins  discovers that actually there _is_ information on the Kohacon website, it's just not linked from the main kohacon13 page.
02:44 jcamins    I'm trying to decide what part.
02:44 dcook      :)
02:44 jcamins    I'll be there for part of it.
02:43 jcamins    If ticket prices start going up before they provide any information about sponsoring, though, I guess I'll book and not sponsor.
02:43 dcook      Hope you're able to make it. It would be great to catch up in person.
02:43 dcook      Mmm, fair enough.
02:42 jcamins    dcook: yeah, but I'm trying to balance cost of being there versus sponsoring.
02:42 dcook      Mind you, your travel is a bit more straightforward..
02:42 dcook      jcamins: That's what I kept saying as well
02:34 * jcamins  decides to book tickets to Kohacon later.
02:28 dcook      wizzyrea: That looks awesome!
02:18 wizzyrea   founders entrance on glenmore street

02:17 bag        wizzyrea: that is the FUN
02:17 dcook      glow worms?
02:17 * wizzyrea is going to see glow worms tonight
02:16 dcook      the funk?
02:16 wahanui    the fun is probably over, i'm switching back to drojf's usual tl:dr behaviour
02:16 bag        THE FUN!
02:16 wahanui    hmmm... the fun is over, i'm switching back to drojf's usual tl:dr behaviour
02:16 wizzyrea   the fun?
02:16 dcook      laterz bag
02:16 eythian    nah, you don't wanna go there.
02:16 dcook      The direct Sydney-Vancouver flight is rather nice though
02:16 dcook      eythian: Originally, I was going to go through Auckland
02:15 bag        later all - all you oceana peeps have a great weekend!  we all still have to work our firdays…  Hopefully you all have THE FUN!!!!!
02:15 eythian    should go via wellington
02:15 * dcook    may or may not be giddy
02:15 rangi      :)
02:14 dcook      The hotel reserve site looks like it's down though...
02:14 dcook      I'm actually going now! ^_^
02:14 * dcook    has all his flights booked now.
02:14 wizzyrea   wheeeeeeee
02:13 rangi      trying to take off... that pilot is good
02:13 rangi      ah 7 mins
02:13 wizzyrea   i'm impressed that they were able to more or less land those places that gracefully during that particular wind
02:12 wizzyrea   well round the corner anyway
02:12 wizzyrea   if not for the ASB center
02:12 wizzyrea   could *almost* see it from our house
02:12 rangi      those things are 10 seaters
02:12 rangi      im waiting for the sounds air
02:11 wizzyrea   or at least watch.
02:11 wizzyrea   ^.^
02:11 wizzyrea   good point that you should go out and tape planes landing on windy days.
02:11 rangi      the poor little ATRs
02:11 wizzyrea   the first one... we thought we might die.
02:11 wizzyrea   the most recent landing we had was a beauty
02:11 eythian    after the severalth time, you get used to it
02:11 wizzyrea   right during that HUUUUGE wind storm
02:11 rangi      yep
02:10 wizzyrea   oh man that was this year!
02:10 wizzyrea   the videos. Experiencing it is... less fun.
02:10 rangi      qantarse
02:10 * wizzyrea loves the extreme welly landings
02:10 rangi      some pilots can't land anything at wellington :-)
02:10 rangi      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4hq4PzZIq4
02:08 wizzyrea   :P
02:08 wizzyrea   it might be leaving on a boat.
02:07 wizzyrea   getting it back up might be a bit of a problem.
02:07 wizzyrea   more importantly, if you land it
02:07 eythian    no
02:07 wizzyrea   I suppose I should revise - you can't land a fully loaded standard huge plane here
02:07 eythian    ah: "While the interior is filled with test equipment and therefore far from showroom standard,..."
02:06 wizzyrea   ^^ lulz
02:06 eythian    I think it had to be stripped down to take off again though :)
02:06 wizzyrea   surprised they got it off the ground again ^.^
02:06 eythian    wizzyrea: 787-8
02:06 rangi      they landed conchord, but empty
02:06 wizzyrea   that can land here.
02:06 wizzyrea   dreamliners
02:05 wizzyrea   because there are short-body dreamlinesr
02:05 rangi      :)
02:05 rangi      just not 90
02:05 rangi      yeah if you kill 89 passengers thats fine
02:05 bag        lolly's for spud is bad ass
02:05 eythian    ah, is that it.
02:05 wizzyrea   one of the stubby ones though?
02:05 eythian    wizzyrea: they landed a dreamliner here
02:05 wizzyrea   rangi++
02:04 rangi      77B of the Civil Aviation Act
02:04 wizzyrea   the first time we took an internal flight in NZ, security gave spud a lolly. :P
02:04 rangi      over 90 seats you get screened
02:04 bag        TSA = panty wads = dumb :P
02:04 rangi      its the number of seats not het range
02:04 bag        TSA get there panties in a wad
02:04 wizzyrea   it simply can't be done
02:04 bag        hmm.. back track - ok so all of the "officers" that you deal with there - view this as normal procedure…  I like that…
02:04 wizzyrea   though you can't even land the biggest ones in wellington.
02:03 wizzyrea   well size... bigger plane = longer haul
02:03 eythian    certain range, but yeah
02:03 wizzyrea   oh so planes over a certain size
02:02 eythian    if the plane is capable of being hijacked and going to Australia, then it has to be screened.
02:02 jcamins    10357!
02:02 bag        eythian++ declare and they dont' get mad - that's the key :)
02:02 wizzyrea   if you declare and have to pitch it, they at least don't fine you :P
02:02 eythian    rangi: not anything to auckland, just some
02:02 wizzyrea   and if you do have it, declare it. because they don't get mad about it.
02:02 rangi      anything to auckland
02:02 rangi      some flights get security
02:02 eythian    if you bring in muddy shoes, they wash them for you. That's handy to know.
02:01 bag        s/flight/trip
02:01 wizzyrea   don't try to bring in outdoor gear, fresh food of any kind, or too much medicine, and you'll pretty much be golden.
02:01 bag        BUT I would love the within airplane flight like a bus flight
02:01 wizzyrea   ^
02:01 bag        TSA are dumbasses :P
02:01 eythian    most of that is biosecurity
02:00 eythian    yeah
02:00 bag        but if I came there - they screen me right?  and they aren't that hard…  you have something on this list - you can't bring it in
02:00 bag        within
02:00 eythian    It's like getting on a bus.
02:00 eythian    actually, you can fly within NZ without screening.
01:59 bag        TSA is dumb - every country has screening and every country has got problems - you don't need to pretend ……  (sorry I got tired of talking about it)
01:58 rangi      heh
01:58 bag        remind me the next time I fly - to ask them if they are in a polish metal band
01:58 bag        oh that's awesome
01:58 eythian    Oh, and a polish metal band.
01:57 bag        :P
01:57 bag        dumbasses
01:57 eythian    Well, there is The Scout Association in the UK...
01:57 bag        and then
01:57 bag        I was saying - sadly of course usa tsa thinks they are the most important…
01:56 bag        thanks
01:56 eythian    bag: I think only the US has a TSA :)
01:56 eythian    "This person is such a risk we can't let him travel, but not enough that we could arrest him."
01:56 bag        sorry USA TSA is pretty crazy
01:56 bag        yeah TSA is pretty crazy
01:55 eythian    So I guess phonenumbers are an improvement.
01:55 eythian    the standard procedure was to be or become a congressman so you had the clout to get your name removed.
01:55 rangi      that would suck
01:54 dcook      In case you share the same name as a terrorist or watched person
01:54 dcook      They even have "Redress numbers"
01:54 dcook      Yup
01:54 rangi      terrorists are always men donchaknow
01:54 dcook      When travelling to, from or via the U.S., or on a flight that will be flying over the continental U.S. (excluding flights between two points in Canada), passengers must provide their gender and date of birth. TSA Privacy Notice.
01:54 rangi      ah yeah
01:54 dcook      Oh USA...
01:54 dcook      Hmm TSA apparently
01:54 rangi      true
01:53 * dcook    wonders why an airline needs to know his gender...
01:42 dcook      Oooh. Air Canada remembered my search settings. Nice one, AC.
01:41 wahanui    o/ '`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`
01:41 wizzyrea   confetti!
01:41 dcook      Exciting!!!
01:41 * dcook    is booking his plane tickets to KohaCon13 at this moment!
01:39 bag        but I do have to say it's really cool
01:39 bag        I can't break 10k to save my life
01:39 bag        me too
01:38 jcamins    Jeez I suck at this game.
01:36 cjh        heh
01:34 jcamins    Argh! It was Portugal not Brazil.
01:33 wizzyrea   so do the balkan nations.
01:33 wizzyrea   spain looks like everywhere.
01:33 wizzyrea   hehe
01:31 eythian    Of note is that AU and NZ roadsigns look similar enough to be easy to confuse :)
01:31 wizzyrea   you've bested me this time eythian
01:30 bag        I was way off - of course it was texas
01:30 eythian    It does give a disproprtionate amount in Australia
01:30 wizzyrea   10333 the 2nd time round
01:30 bag        I guessed florida
01:30 eythian    > You got 10736 points in total.
01:30 bag        Mine had a whaddaburger sign
01:30 jcamins    wtf? Every single one was in Australia!
01:29 bag        7620
01:29 trea       8185 pts. that's not bad
01:28 cjh        heh I ended up in a desert, no road signage or anything.
01:28 trea       :P
01:28 trea       yeah, my 2nd guess was off by .98 km
01:28 eythian    (I could see a bus that has "Aberdeen" on the back.)
01:28 wizzyrea   that's quite impressive
01:28 wizzyrea   !
01:28 eythian    so close!
01:27 eythian    > You missed with 1.815 km which gave 3168 points
01:27 eythian    also move along the road
01:25 jcamins    You can rotate.
01:25 jcamins    Oh, wait.
01:25 eythian    fairly good. I think I got 8000 or so
01:25 jcamins    Better than I'm going to do.
01:24 wizzyrea   9926 points. no idea if that's good or bad
01:23 eythian    http://www.geoguessr.com/
01:22 dcook      :D
01:21 cjh        dcook: ahhh, calming order.
01:21 bag        I did try being cute leaving the ? out :P
01:21 wizzyrea   http://hadonejob.com/
01:21 dcook      http://thingsorganizedneatly.tumblr.com/
01:21 cjh        heh
01:20 trea       that's the best part
01:20 bag        where's 25 :P
01:20 dcook      Oh  my...
01:20 * dcook    perks up
01:19 trea       aka, "how to upset the OCD afflicted in your life."
01:19 cjh        jcamins: awesome
01:19 cjh        heh
01:18 trea       ^
01:18 trea       you had one job!
01:18 wizzyrea   reminds me of "you had one job
01:18 bag        oh I am sending that link to Sonja!
01:17 bag        jcamins: we've done goat-cheese wrapped in dates, and then wrapped in kale - and was actually quite good
01:17 jcamins    http://www.buzzfeed.com/daves4/26-pictures-that-will-make-you-irrationally-angry
01:16 wizzyrea   good either way
01:16 wizzyrea   she used sweetened, I used dessicated
01:16 jcamins    wizzyrea: looks like sweetened coconut?
01:16 trea       mmm salmon
01:15 wizzyrea   nice!
01:15 bag        we got Salmon last night!  amazing
01:15 bag        Sonja and I joined a fish-share thingy here in SB…  once a week fresh fish caught off the coast
01:14 jcamins    That's my stand-by raw recipe.
01:13 wizzyrea   http://www.blogilates.com/recipe-index/macaroons-vs-macarons-wait-what (ignore the silliness of that post and skip straight to the recipe)
01:12 trea       i'd imagine so
01:12 jcamins    That too.
01:12 wizzyrea   oh, well yes
01:12 wizzyrea   anything with coconut?
01:12 jcamins    Goat cheese-date truffles.
01:12 jcamins    You know what's delicious?
01:11 trea       they are quite good
01:11 wizzyrea   they are yum
01:11 wizzyrea   I make raw ones now - coconut, ground almonds, honey, a bit of milk
01:11 jcamins    The egg white ones are called macarons. wizzyrea taught me that earlier.
01:10 dcook      Yumm
01:10 jcamins    Haystacks.
01:10 jcamins    Oh.
01:10 jcamins    Coconut.
01:10 dcook      I meant the stacks or the little cookie type things
01:10 wizzyrea   the coconut ones or the eggwhite ones
01:10 jcamins    dcook: just regular macaroons.
01:10 trea       pretty subject to humidity and other factors
01:10 trea       macaroons can be really fickle to make
01:10 dcook      What sort of macaroons did you make?
01:09 jcamins    To put it mildly.
01:09 jcamins    The macaroons are tasty, but slightly less than cohesive.
00:26 drnoe      well good night folks
