08:31 tinystoat hello i am lost on irc but don't mind my idling :)
08:32 pdurbin heh, lost? :)
08:32 pdurbin oh, uncomfortable, you mean
08:32 pdurbin no worries, we're all friendlies :)
08:33 pdurbin dotplus: please meet tinystoat (when you wake up)
08:33 tinystoat :D
08:33 pdurbin prologic: are you awake? It's 3:30 am for me and I should sleep.
08:33 tinystoat yes, funnily, i'm more shy than people realise. well spotted ;)
08:33 tinystoat pdurbin: oh don't stay up for me please sleep
08:34 tinystoat i have odd hours so we'll synch up again soon :D
08:34 pdurbin tinystoat: no, I was asleep but had to pee
08:34 pdurbin and then I checked my email
08:34 pdurbin now i've been awake for 90 minutes
08:34 pdurbin emailing about trademark violations for Dataverse
08:34 tinystoat i hate having to wake up for the toilet. can't get back to sleep for at least 2 hours then.
08:34 pdurbin which is a good problem to have, I guess :)
08:34 pdurbin it means people like your name :)
08:35 * tinystoat looks up dataverse
08:35 tinystoat true!
08:35 pdurbin tinystoat: please see http://blog.greptilian.com/2020/02/07/advancing-science-with-dataverse/
08:35 pdurbin tinystoat: oh, and please know that this channel is logged
08:35 tinystoat thank you!
08:35 pdurbin it's in the topic but you said you aren't very comfortable with IRC
08:35 tinystoat i'll keep it clean for the kiddie.
08:36 tinystoat oh i'm comfortable with IRC (23-24 years) just a bit shy. :D
08:36 pdurbin Inkscape chat is logged too, by the way. So you could have told that person a few hours ago that they can just return to the chat history.
08:36 pdurbin oh oh
08:36 pdurbin ok
08:36 tinystoat pdurbin: oh i had no idea.  i need to find that so i can give that to folks in future. thank you!
08:36 pdurbin tinystoat: I'd love your opinion on my "SLOPI communication" idea: http://blog.greptilian.com/2020/01/25/slopi-communication/
08:37 tinystoat i was actually cleaning up my own log file to post to my hjalp directory for them :D
08:37 pdurbin tinystoat: right but there's a bug in Rocket.Chat. One sec. Lemme see if I can find it.
08:37 pdurbin tinystoat: Inkscape examples: https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/issues/9325#issuecomment-522323837
08:38 pdurbin tinystoat: do you know who Mo Duffy is?
08:38 tinystoat so far you and i are on the same page regarding transparencey regarding communication. i'll finish that article!
08:38 tinystoat thanks for that link as well!
08:38 tinystoat pdurbin: that sounds familiar but that is all.
08:38 pdurbin tinystoat: in that case I'd like you opinion of https://opensource.com/open-organization/17/11/transparency-dataverse-project as well, please!
08:39 pdurbin Wow, it was only 26 installation of Dataverse back then. Now we're up to 55.
08:39 tinystoat slopi sounds bloody excellent! :)
08:39 pdurbin I really need to fix https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse-installations/issues/7 ... Wanna help, tinystoat ? :)
08:40 pdurbin Sherry is too busy, I fear. shlake
08:41 pdurbin But she helps out in many, many, other ways: https://twitter.com/shlakeuva/status/1233420941788577792
08:41 tinystoat I'm actually in the middle of dealing with Brexit at the moment as that has put me in a bit of a tight spot for work and life stability issues.
08:42 tinystoat Plus I have some health issues that have taken front stage at the moment so sadly I'm unable to give much time to projects at the moment.
08:43 tinystoat But I can tell you that if things go well this year I'll be able to give you and inkscape proper time and energy because I really appreciate projects that give people who can get on the web ample freedom and opportunity to improve their lives.
08:44 tinystoat Last year was supposed to be application of my free time to bug squashing in inkscape but that went quite badly due to the health issues and a few other things. Quite frustrationg.
08:44 tinystoat Frustrating even!
08:47 pdurbin tinystoat: great! Sorry. I took a quick break to start what I hope will become a meme called "drawing lemons" https://twitter.com/philipdurbin/status/1234399164836044800
08:47 pdurbin Do you think we could get #DrawingLemons off the ground? Are you on Mastodon? :)
08:48 pdurbin You could write "I'd be drawing right now but I'm dealing with Brexit. #DrawingLemons". For example. :)
08:49 tinystoat haha i like that you did that. i was going to ask about the lemon until i heard the sad ending.
08:50 tinystoat pdurbin: i've solely been on irc for the past 2 decades, no social media here but i think i'll have to start soon because of various things regarding work and contacts lately.
08:50 pdurbin way to be
08:50 tinystoat now if you say i'm uncomfortable with anything that would be social media. entirely new universe to me :D
08:50 pdurbin I wouldn't be on Twitter except for work.
08:50 pdurbin Twitter used to be fun.
08:51 pdurbin Back when I could use open source clients.
08:51 tinystoat yeah i seem to have missed the fun days for a lot of things including youtube!
08:51 tinystoat yeah, they closed everything up.
08:51 tinystoat pdurbin: sleep well :D
11:23 pdurbin tinystoat: got some more sleep. And a great, very red sunrise! I made my wife look. Amazing.
11:23 pdurbin dotplus prologic we have a naming conflict for "openknot" - https://pyknotid.readthedocs.io/en/latest/sources/spacecurves/openknot.html ... should we rename?
11:24 tinystoat pdurbin: i love those. :) when i lived near an ocean i used to rush down after work to catch the red sunsets during the summer.
11:24 pdurbin Right! I was just saying! Why don't we stuff the kids in the car and go to the ocean some morning? But is it always this red?!?!
11:29 pdurbin dotplus prologic: also, we suffer from this: https://twitter.com/stephenaguilar/status/1208817902238887938 :)
11:41 tinystoat pdurbin: yeah, the pollution from somewhere such as fire smoke or something causes that, sadly. not sure where you are in the world but that might be it?
11:46 pdurbin I'm in Boston. No fires here. Yet. :)
11:53 tinystoat pdurbin: hah indeed. :D
11:54 pdurbin how can we sleep when our bed are burning
11:56 tinystoat indeed ;)
19:42 * pdurbin types `/disconnect mozilla`
23:33 prologic pdurbin hmm yes we do suffer from that
23:33 prologic and its for this very reason I think we should abandon this idea :)
23:33 prologic no-one here has the time or the bandwidth to pull this off in any meaningful way I don't htink
