<ELLIOTTCABLE> hi, alexgordon
<ELLIOTTCABLE> home organization shit right now
<alexgordon> hi ELLIOTTCABLE
<ELLIOTTCABLE> my place is something of a mess.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> clutter.
<alexgordon> :O
* alexgordon images macbooks littering the floor
<ELLIOTTCABLE> partially because I was using my office/lab-room as a “throw shit in here when you don't want to deal with it” storage-room
<ELLIOTTCABLE> and now I've unloaded that entire room into my living-room, because I'm *working* in here
<ELLIOTTCABLE> which means my living room is now full of cluttered crap of all flavours.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> in addition, as of an hour ago, I've started *unloading* my entire (very very full) tool-box, onto flat folding tables
<ELLIOTTCABLE> so I can see my entire tool arsenal at a glance, and re-organize the thing before sorting it back into the tool-box.
<alexgordon> ELLIOTTCABLE: what are you making?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> making? nothing, right now. an organized home, lol.
<purr> lol
<ELLIOTTCABLE> after that, some stupid gadget formed of LEDs and self-loathing.
<alexgordon> ELLIOTTCABLE: if only you were young like whitequark
<ELLIOTTCABLE> once I know what the fuck I'm doing, a little bit, my first project is going to be a water-proof, WiFi-networked shower control.
<alexgordon> you're too old for this shit ELLIOTTCABLE
<alexgordon> you need to retire
* ELLIOTTCABLE lols
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I want to be able to dial in an *exact* temperature for my shower, without an analog dial by hand. I want it to be regulated; and I want to be able to start it when I'm laying in bed.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> or better yet, automatically with my alarm.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> here's hoping the call of a hot, running shower gives me an easier time getting up in the morning :P
<alexgordon> hm
* alexgordon thinks ELLIOTTCABLE needs a servant
<ELLIOTTCABLE> or just a computer.
<alexgordon> hot maid?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> and a fuckton of IoT devices. ;P
<ELLIOTTCABLE> oh. that's not a bad idea.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> unfortunately in reality, they're all brown and old. #sexualracist
<alexgordon> -_-
<whitequark> or hot and bad maids
<whitequark> I'd rather have someone brown and old and good at maiding than hot and incompetent
<alexgordon> ELLIOTTCABLE: pfft, there's brown and then there's brown. What about a sexy brazilian maid?
<whitequark> because not only are they incompetent, but the very existence of their occupation reaffirms the fact that it's ok to be hot and incompetent
<whitequark> and I loathe that
<ELLIOTTCABLE> not into brazillian, or anything else
<ELLIOTTCABLE> whitequark: agreed, *unless* hot-and-incompetent is actually attracted to me.
<alexgordon> ELLIOTTCABLE: hm, you are quite an enigma Mr Elly
<whitequark> idea: a tsundere maid
<ELLIOTTCABLE> in which case, fantastic (literally, as-of-a-fantasy) fetish sex scheduled twice monthly? yes please.
<whitequark> well, nah, I'm sure that was already explored to death
<ELLIOTTCABLE> alexgordon: not really.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I like 'em pasty white, and with soft skin. That's really the extent of my tastes.
<alexgordon> ELLIOTTCABLE: i.e. "alaskan"
<alexgordon> or japanese :P
<whitequark> pasty white?
<joelteon> yeah
<joelteon> like paste
<whitequark> no, japanese being pasty white
<whitequark> is not the most common opinion so to say
Sgeo has joined #elliottcable
<alexgordon> whitequark: really?
<alexgordon> whitequark: that's what I think when I think of japanese people
<alexgordon> very white
<glowcoil> request:
<glowcoil> kill me
* alexgordon kills glowcoil
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Japanese? Ew, no, they aren't white
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I find asians, middle-easterners, africans, extremely unattractive.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> It's not like they're terrible people. I'm sure I'd have an easier time finding somebody to make me happy if I were a little more open-minded.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> But Jesus Christ, I just find them as unattractive as I find someone suffering from an extremity-of-obesity /=
<alexgordon> ELLIOTTCABLE: they are literally white
<alexgordon> as in light skinned
<ELLIOTTCABLE> er, no. Caucasian == white.
<alexgordon> lol whatever you say
<purr> lol
<ELLIOTTCABLE> What crazy dialect defines people with brown, yellow, or red skin as ‘white?’ o_O
<ELLIOTTCABLE> It's not ‘light-skinned.’ It's ‘white.’
<alexgordon> just saying, some japanese people have whiter skin than me
<ELLIOTTCABLE> we all know you're black <3
<alexgordon> no no micah is black
<glowcoil> -paws
<purr> glowcoil: “the scientology of programming langiages” <http://ell.io/iksN9>
<alexgordon> ELLIOTTCABLE: I'm pretty white, though that may be because the sun never comes out here :P
<glowcoil> me, and ELLIOTTCABLE
<alexgordon> glowcoil: can japanese people be white?
<glowcoil> alexgordon: I and everyone I know use the term white to refer to like, european
<glowcoil> alexgordon: so, I wouldn't say japanese people are white
<glowcoil> alexgordon: because it has ethnic/racial implications
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I suspect it's an American vs. English, thing
<glowcoil> alexgordon: though some japanese people's skin can be as light as any european's, yes
<alexgordon> glowcoil: many european people have pretty brown skin
<glowcoil> alexgordon: right
<alexgordon> in like italy, greece, croatia
<glowcoil> alexgordon: but they're "white"
<glowcoil> my point is that "white" is not a descriptive term you evaluate on a skin-by-skin basis, it's a racial/ethnic term
<alexgordon> glowcoil: right. I know what white is, but in the context me and elliott were talking about his dislike for brazilians or people with brown skin
<glowcoil> ok
<alexgordon> japanese people are "white"
<alexgordon> as opposed to brown
<alexgordon> some of them. some of them are brown
<ELLIOTTCABLE> it's less colour of skin, and more specific ethnic groups I don't find myself attracted to in women.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> In men, I find I'm more undiscriminating, at least, to whatever extent I'm interested at all.
<alexgordon> man I don't have that at all
<alexgordon> except for black women (sorry black women! :()
<ELLIOTTCABLE> An african / african-american male is as likely to be attractive to me as a white male … but both, far more so than a the same in a female.
<glowcoil> idk yeah i tend to be most attracted to white girls
<glowcoil> -shrug
<purr> glowcoil: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
<glowcoil> attraction isn't something you can really choose
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Eastern chicks, nope. Japan, China, Korea.
<glowcoil> and basically depends on socialization/upbringing
<ELLIOTTCABLE> but eastern-european? fuck yeeeeeah. Dat german build.
<alexgordon> glowcoil: right
<glowcoil> germany's western europe?
<glowcoil> ?
<alexgordon> glowcoil: I grew up in london, pretty multicultural
<ELLIOTTCABLE> or stereotypical hot russians with bright-white skin and long blonde hair. :P
<alexgordon> glowcoil: you grew up in fucking utah, ELLIOTTCABLE grew up in alaska
<glowcoil> alexgordon: right
<alexgordon> glowcoil: germany is western europe yes
<alexgordon> although parts of it are still quite eastern european
<alexgordon> because of the wall
<glowcoil> alexgordon: what i meant was that elliott referred to it as eastern :p
<glowcoil> but yeah ok that makes sense
<ELLIOTTCABLE> “eastern-european girls.”
<ELLIOTTCABLE> isn't actually geographical. It's differentiating norwegians, germans, russians, ukranians, wtfever … from French, Italian, English, Spanish …
<ELLIOTTCABLE> odd, 'cause that actually seems to be more of a north-south divide.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> but I've always heard them referred to as eastern-european, when they visit the U.S. and get hit on.
<alexgordon> ELLIOTTCABLE: norwegians? LOL
<purr> LOL
<ELLIOTTCABLE> “European” basically implies British, over here. Maybe with some other shit that nobody remembers exists, if they're American.
<alexgordon> ELLIOTTCABLE: norway, sweden, denmark, finland, scotland are "north europe"
<alexgordon> *northern
<ELLIOTTCABLE> “Eastern european,” more the ones I listed.
<glowcoil> ELLIOTTCABLE: you're kind of conflating slavic and nordic/germanic
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I don't know of a mis-attributed slang for the others. Mostly they just don't get talked about.
<glowcoil> though yeah those have more similar flavors in my mind than romance does
<alexgordon> eastern european are all the old soviet bits :P
<ELLIOTTCABLE> glowcoil: hm? romance? wat?
<glowcoil> like
<glowcoil> romance languages
<glowcoil> descendants of latin
<ELLIOTTCABLE> ah yes
* alexgordon read iran
<ELLIOTTCABLE> k well this conversation is uninteresting and I have organization and cleaning to do. ugh.
<glowcoil> i guess i largely classify europe by languages in my mind
<alexgordon> brain is fried
<alexgordon> ELLIOTTCABLE: the "north south east west" thing is more of a sociopolitical construct than anothing
<alexgordon> north and west europe are rich
<alexgordon> south europe is hot
<ELLIOTTCABLE> yep.
<alexgordon> eastern europe is a bit russian
<glowcoil> haha
<ELLIOTTCABLE> A Bit Russian
<ELLIOTTCABLE> A Bit Quarkian
<glowcoil> i can't say
<glowcoil> I
<glowcoil> "i'm attracted to this class of people"
<alexgordon> ELLIOTTCABLE: 100% with you on eastern european chicks though!
<glowcoil> becuase i'm not attracted to most people
<glowcoil> at all
<alexgordon> ELLIOTTCABLE: come to london, that's something we have lots of
<glowcoil> like, basically takes me getting to know someone to even be interested in them
<glowcoil> and by then a lot of the time it's already past time that they've gotten the signal that i'm not
<alexgordon> ELLIOTTCABLE: and there's a stigma against them (like mexicans in the US) so they're alllll yours
<ELLIOTTCABLE> holy CRAP my bit-drawer is a MESS
<ELLIOTTCABLE> fuck ME
<ELLIOTTCABLE> glowcoil: yeah. I used to have that problem.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Then I discovered that sex is really, really, spectacularly, unreasonably fun, when you're made to feel like you're good at it.
<glowcoil> lul
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Boom, magically, others (mostly females) became *unreasonably* much more visually attention-grabbing.
<glowcoil> i'm just an awkward shy person overall so i don't think i'll ever be truly confident in that department
<alexgordon> glowcoil: bullshit
<glowcoil> best i can hope for is probably like
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Very strange experience. It's very vivid for me. I really didn't give much of a fuck about sex, or even too much about appearance overall … and I *certainly* was easily attracted to a great personality.
<glowcoil> confident i won't embarrass myself etc.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> but then …
<glowcoil> like, sufficiently not-bad
<glowcoil> :p
<ELLIOTTCABLE> nah lies
<ELLIOTTCABLE> there's always gonna be That One Girl who's spectacularly into you emotionally, or who's really under-developed sexually compared to you, or who's simply truly impressed by what you do
<ELLIOTTCABLE> that'll give you confidence that you'll never lose. It's just a matter of time until it comes along.
<glowcoil> i suppose
<ELLIOTTCABLE> for most of my friends and acquaintances, it seems to have been a fuckbuddy, instead of a relationship, strangely enough
<glowcoil> actually most girls that have liked me, i've been less shy than them, more socially confident and capable
<glowcoil> so if i had just not had the stupid mindset of i-am-inferior-to-all-girls at the time i woudl have gone for it
<glowcoil> etc.
<glowcoil> but the one girl i've actually gone anywhere with baiscally can't tolerate not feeling better than everyone else around her all the time
<glowcoil> so yeah
<alexgordon> glowcoil: don't think so much :P
<glowcoil> weird because she was also a huge sub, just not emotionally...
<glowcoil> alexgordon: that's how i do thigns
<ELLIOTTCABLE> ugh that feel
<ELLIOTTCABLE> glowcoil: bro down homie. internet-fistbump for commiseration.
* glowcoil fist bumps
<ELLIOTTCABLE> been there SO HARD, on the “girl with whom is going somewhere, but makes you feel like shit.”
<ELLIOTTCABLE> in fact, several times, which is mind-bending. No idea how I keep ending up like that.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> (maybe I need to start dating black or asian girls ;)
<glowcoil> weird
<glowcoil> haha
<ELLIOTTCABLE> current stance: brb, dating ALL OF THE SHITTY PEOPLE, to make myself feel better.
<glowcoil> yeah like i'm frustrated because
<glowcoil> the girl things didn't work out with, with whom i'm now just really good friends, becuase of timing
<ELLIOTTCABLE> a couple pot-heads, or directionless minimum-wage nobodies, or *something* … hopefully who are also attractive, so I can fuck their *brains* out …
<glowcoil> would NOT have been that at all
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I'll be back to my general state of egotistical fucker.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> instead of current state of self-loathing.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> yeah, I remember the story. |=
<glowcoil> she's hands down top several nicest people i know
<ELLIOTTCABLE> no chance at a second-chance?
<alexgordon> man that took far too long to find
<glowcoil> alexgordon: lolol
<purr> lolol
<glowcoil> ELLIOTTCABLE: i mean, waiting around haha
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I keep forgetting that exists
<glowcoil> ELLIOTTCABLE: semi good friends with the current bf now too tho
<glowcoil> so yeah
<ELLIOTTCABLE> we REALLY need to set up a way to get purr to do that for us
<glowcoil> already done the whole fucking
<glowcoil> dating someone who is not done with someone you are also friends with
<glowcoil> and it's fucking fucking awful
<ELLIOTTCABLE> ick.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> okay. turning around to deal with my insane pile of bits, now. ddis
<glowcoil> aw ok
* alexgordon will take over
<glowcoil> lol
<glowcoil> alexgordon: we know far too little about *your* dating life
<glowcoil> i know there are some good stories
<glowcoil> wait how old are ou
<glowcoil> you
<alexgordon> [01:27:57] <ELLIOTTCABLE> a couple pot-heads, or directionless minimum-wage nobodies, or *something* … hopefully who are also attractive, so I can fuck their *brains* out …
<alexgordon> glowcoil: I'm 12
<alexgordon> glowcoil: what do you want to know
<glowcoil> lol
<alexgordon> my age is a well kept secret
<glowcoil> how many people have you dated
<glowcoil> and also
<alexgordon> jeannicolas doesn't even know
<glowcoil> just tell lots of stories
<glowcoil> from your past
<glowcoil> haha
<ELLIOTTCABLE> alexgordon is 27

<alexgordon> ELLIOTTCABLE: LOL, no comment
<purr> LOL
<alexgordon> glowcoil: stories? I dunno

yorick has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
alexgordon is now known as drparse
<glowcoil> who needs parsing
<glowcoil> currently
* drparse dude I'm always a-parsing
<drparse> erm, glowcoil^
<glowcoil> lol
<purr> lol
<drparse> anyway
<drparse> glowcoil: ^ eh I don't go for long relationships (have you noticed?), got no patience for that kind of drama
<drparse> I guess I'm a pretty soulless person
<glowcoil> ok
<drparse> :\
<ELLIOTTCABLE> :/
<drparse> -_-
<glowcoil> :
<drparse> :•
* drparse has a heart of ice
<drparse> at least me and whitequark can keep each other company
<drparse> in a non-gay way
<glowcoil> i hate
<glowcoil> everything
<drparse> :(
<drparse> glowcoil: love, for I cannot
<glowcoil> lul
<ELLIOTTCABLE> glowcoil: why
<glowcoil> ELLIOTTCABLE: one reason i'm in a semi bad mood is that
<glowcoil> i slept 8 hrs, starting at 5:30 am, and woke up halfway through a CS midterm
<glowcoil> probably got a B+ to A- on it, hopefully, so that wasn't bad
<glowcoil> but still put me in a bad mood
<glowcoil> also i have been putting off all this emailey shit for a long time
<glowcoil> letters of recommendtion and stuff
<glowcoil> and have probably double digit library fines
<glowcoil> and lots of math and physics to do
<glowcoil> idk
<glowcoil> none of that would really automatically put me in a bad mood
<glowcoil> idk
<glowcoil> also
<glowcoil> i am consistently eating way too much and not being active enough
<drparse> glowcoil: disorganised much?
<glowcoil> i've gained like 20 pounds this school year
<glowcoil> drparse: well i *feel* organized right now since my dorm room is immaculate and my desk is really clean
<ELLIOTTCABLE> dude. that weight feel. ugh.
<glowcoil> drparse: and i'm keeping up but
<glowcoil> ELLIOTTCABLE: yeah that's probably the main reason right now
<drparse> glowcoil: SQUATS AND OATS
<glowcoil> lol
<purr> lol
<glowcoil> though i still look skinny overall, like my face etc., so if i mention i need to eat less or be more active or whatever people are just kind of disbelieving
<glowcoil> which i guess is mostly a plus
<glowcoil> but idk
<glowcoil> weight is retarded
<glowcoil> food is retarded
<ELLIOTTCABLE> right.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> trying to start calorie-counting. I suck at it.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> mostly because I depend on software for MY ENTIRE LIFE.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> and calorie-counting / food-tracking is one place where the software world is unreasonably, unbelievably, insanely incompetent.
<drparse> glowcoil: skip breakfast. lol
<glowcoil> yeah i've been calorie-counting for the past months
<ELLIOTTCABLE> the *best thing* out there, is something called MyFitnessPal.
<glowcoil> helped somewhat probably
<ELLIOTTCABLE> and it's fucking horrid and inadequate. /=
<glowcoil> i mean i've gained an intuition for it so i don't ahve to use an app anymore
<ELLIOTTCABLE> that's what I hear happens
<glowcoil> drparse: lol i usually do
<ELLIOTTCABLE> but I can't *get* to that point
<glowcoil> i never used an app in the first place
<glowcoil> it's just like
<glowcoil> pizza slice is 300 calories
<glowcoil> etc.
<drparse> glowcoil: skip lunch too!
<glowcoil> lol
<glowcoil> drparse: lol
<glowcoil> what happens is
<glowcoil> i get motivated to not eat
<glowcoil> that puts food on my mind
<glowcoil> i make it to dinner and eat a shit ton of shitty food
<drparse> where do you live?
<glowcoil> and then i've had like 1500-2000 calories of shitty food for dinner
<drparse> half of food is just the access thing
<glowcoil> yeah
<glowcoil> i have a food plan at a dining hall
<glowcoil> that's a major part
<glowcoil> i think
<glowcoil> all you can eat
<drparse> I have the opposite problem. I'm too lazy to prepare food most of the time
<glowcoil> :/
<drparse> so I don't eat enough as I should
<glowcoil> yeah i wish i had to make my own food
<glowcoil> then i would be like satisfied with a bagel for breakfast or some shit
<glowcoil> but as it is i end up like
<glowcoil> i get a bagel and some milk or something
<drparse> right now I don't have any bread, otherwise I would make a sandwich
<drparse> so I've been eating fruit
<glowcoil> and then there's cereal and waffles and toast and eggs and bacon and fucking biscuits and gravy right there
<drparse> health by laziness: I should write a book
<glowcoil> and how cna i just eat a single bagel even though everything will be there the next day anyway
<drparse> glowcoil: drooool
<glowcoil> drparse: ya
<glowcoil> well right now more like
<drparse> glowcoil: I can't even imagine 2000 calories
<glowcoil> puke
<drparse> on one plate
<glowcoil> lol yeah
<purr> lol
<glowcoil> usually takes at least 2
<glowcoil> hahaha
<glowcoil> unless it's like a plate of cake
<glowcoil> then you're probably close
<drparse> mmmm
<drparse> but yeah I struggle to eat 2500 calories a day or whatever it is I should be eating
<glowcoil> i know for a fact i eat under 2000 calories a day
<glowcoil> so i know i shouldn't be eating that much
<glowcoil> because i'm still steadily, though pretty slowly, gaining weight
<drparse> glowcoil: what do you drink?
<drparse> I almost always have water, I think that's half the reason
<glowcoil> yeah i want to have water
<glowcoil> i left my water bottle somewhere a month or two ago
<glowcoil> and never replaced it
<glowcoil> used to constantly drink water
<glowcoil> god i need to just get a water bottle again
<glowcoil> and also get a haircut and return library books
<glowcoil> i'm a fucking waste
<drparse> I grew up drinking water all the time, if you're drinking a shit ton of milk or coke then it's really easy to put on the pounds
<glowcoil> yeah
<glowcoil> i drink lots of soda at the dining hall but it's always diet
<glowcoil> so
<glowcoil> no calories
<glowcoil> i still should just drink lots of water all the time though
<drparse> according to google, 2500 calories is 3.7 cups of rice
<glowcoil> shittt
<drparse> (dry rice)
<glowcoil> i mean that is a lot of rice
<glowcoil> but
<drparse> that's a lot
<drparse> one cup of rice is like a whole plateful
<drparse> so 3.7 is like ... 3 or 4 plates of rice
<glowcoil> yeah ok
<glowcoil> :p
<drparse> glowcoil: seems to me that it's hard to eat a lot of calories in one meal, but it's the little snacks and drinks and things that have almost the same amount of calories
<glowcoil> tha's true but
<glowcoil> i end up eating lots of calories in single meals anyway
<glowcoil> buffets make that easy
<glowcoil> i don't snack that much
<drparse> true
<ELLIOTTCABLE> afraid to read this
<drparse> glowcoil: well like a bowl of ice cream is 450 calories
<glowcoil> lol yeah
<purr> lol
<glowcoil> sweet things tend to be the most calorie dense
<glowcoil> fatty things really aren't bad in comparison i don't think
<glowcoil> in fact actually
<glowcoil> fat isn't even something to worry about
<drparse> *some* fat isn't something to worry about
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I don't really do sweet
<drparse> glowcoil: I definitely feel when I'm eating say a mcdonalds that it's ridiculously easy to put that stuff away
<ELLIOTTCABLE> but I definitely have trouble with calorie-dense carby things
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I dont have a sweet-tooth. I have a carb-tooth.
<drparse> ha
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Cheez-its or pizza or cheetos or …
<glowcoil> yeah i can eat shit tons of apsta
<glowcoil> pasta
<ELLIOTTCABLE> … apparently anything flavoured as fake cheese …
<glowcoil> it's bad
<ELLIOTTCABLE> PASTA
<ELLIOTTCABLE> OH MY GOD MY PASTA WEAKNESS
<ELLIOTTCABLE> and rice, and potatos
<glowcoil> ya
<ELLIOTTCABLE> potatoes
<drparse> mashed potatoes!
<ELLIOTTCABLE> fuckin'
<ELLIOTTCABLE> want it all in my body
<glowcoil> potatoes are fucking awful
<glowcoil> like
* drparse makes really REALLY good mashed potatoes
<glowcoil> glycemic index as bad as glucose
<drparse> glowcoil: thing is though, when I think about the healthiest countries in the world I think japan, vietnam, etc
<drparse> glowcoil: and these are cultures where "it isn't a meal unless it has (white) rice"
<glowcoil> sure but "rice belly" is a phrase for a reason
<drparse> I've never heard that before
<drparse> what does it mean?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> ditto, never heard that
<ELLIOTTCABLE> beer belly yes
<ELLIOTTCABLE> but whatever, it's just carb belly in *any* case
<drparse> glowcoil: vietnam has the lowest average BMI of any country
<glowcoil> lol
<purr> lol
<ELLIOTTCABLE> what, 16?
<drparse> 19 I think
<drparse> and vietnamese food is really good
<drparse> so pretty hard to reconcile that
<ELLIOTTCABLE> ew hate it
<glowcoil> i like it
<glowcoil> there's a french vietnamese fusion restaurant just off campus
<drparse> ELLIOTTCABLE: phởk youuuuuuu!
<glowcoil> really good
<glowcoil> drparse: lul
<ELLIOTTCABLE> okay wow I am fat
<drparse> ELLIOTTCABLE: ??
<ELLIOTTCABLE> It *can't* just be this conversation making my tee feel like it's a size too small

<glowcoil> you can just fucking take a classic beat
<glowcoil> and make your beat on top
<glowcoil> and rap over it
<glowcoil> e.g.:
<glowcoil> (the classic song)
<glowcoil> and then this one from last year:
<glowcoil> (also has a sick video)
<drparse> the omanyte on twitch plays pokemon is going to evolve soon
* drparse is watching
<glowcoil> haha cool
<glowcoil> it's hard to believe how much they've gotten done
<drparse> NOOOOOOOO
<drparse> he stopped evolving
<drparse> fuck everything
<glowcoil> haha
<drparse> there is nothing sacred in life any more
<drparse> bastards!
<ELLIOTTCABLE> wat
<ELLIOTTCABLE> the
<ELLIOTTCABLE> fuck
<Willox> hahaha
<Willox> ELLIOTTCABLE: We're irccloud buddies
<ELLIOTTCABLE> wat
<drparse> ELLIOTTCABLE: twitch plays pokemon
<ELLIOTTCABLE> yes, I know what that is
<ELLIOTTCABLE> but that wikipedia article, whate ven
<drparse> ELLIOTTCABLE: lord helix
<drparse> has come to save us
* glowcoil really wants an ableton push or something
<ELLIOTTCABLE> wassat
<glowcoil> it's like
<glowcoil> a hardware interface thing
<glowcoil> has like a grid of drum pads, dials and knobs and shit
<glowcoil> specifically for controlling ableton
<glowcoil> so you can do really neat live performing stuff with it
<glowcoil> etc.
<glowcoil> you can allocate different parts of the grid to different things
<glowcoil> so parts of it you can play like buttons
<glowcoil> and parts of it toggle steps in a drum loop
<glowcoil> step sequencer
<glowcoil> thing
<glowcoil> god i want one
<ELLIOTTCABLE> gonna puke fried rice on someone
<glowcoil> you can map the rows to notes like on a guitar fretboard
<glowcoil> so fucking expensive though
<glowcoil> not much cheaper used either
<joelteon> how much
<ELLIOTTCABLE> lol
<purr> lol
<glowcoil> like $600
<ELLIOTTCABLE> owch
<ELLIOTTCABLE> you can sell my puke for $500 and then buy one used
<ELLIOTTCABLE> here
* ELLIOTTCABLE hands puke
<glowcoil> lolol
<glowcoil> fuck yes you can choose different modes/scales for the pads
<glowcoil> with the buttons on the top row
<glowcoil> oh and you can do song structure things with ti too
<glowcoil> man i want a push :p
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Atom invites, by the way, if anybody wants one
<ELLIOTTCABLE> https://atom.io/
<glowcoil> how is atom different from sublime text :p
<ELLIOTTCABLE> oh
<ELLIOTTCABLE> incase any of you didn't see the Facebook post
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I have a Glass invite, if you'll develop software for it. Won't give it out unless you're actually going to try to write some Glassware, though.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> glowcoil: no clue. I don't use Sublime.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> but it's created by GitHub, so it *has* to be great. #ruleoftheworl
<glowcoil> :p
<drparse> glowcoil: it's like the bastard child of sublime and light table
<glowcoil> drparse: if there are light table esque features then it's worth looking into
<glowcoil> ELLIOTTCABLE: invite plx? :3
<glowcoil> man, these headphones no longer impress me
<glowcoil> they were like $50 and way better than anything i'd had before
<drparse> glowcoil: everything is built in coffeescript
<glowcoil> but i need better ones
<ELLIOTTCABLE> glowcoil: k
<ELLIOTTCABLE> glowcoil: email
<glowcoil> ELLIOTTCABLE: micahrjohnston@gmail.com
<ELLIOTTCABLE> gonna try kerbal space program for the first time
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I hear this shit is insanely difficult?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> do I have to, like, study orbital mechanics or something? :P
<ELLIOTTCABLE> glowcoil: sent
<ELLIOTTCABLE> tell me what you think. I haven't used it yet.
<drparse> ELLIOTTCABLE: it's difficult yeah
<drparse> ELLIOTTCABLE: just trial and error
<drparse> it took me several hours to get into orbit when I first played it
<glowcoil> ELLIOTTCABLE: thx
<ELLIOTTCABLE> is it rewarding? anything to do beyond that?
<drparse> ELLIOTTCABLE: it's... compelling
<ELLIOTTCABLE> glowcoil: n e thin 4 u >3
<glowcoil> ELLIOTTCABLE: <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
<drparse> get a room!
<glowcoil> haha it looks even more like sublime text than i thought
<ELLIOTTCABLE> you know what I hate? Steam. I hate Steam.
<glowcoil> well i guess it's just chrometabs
<ELLIOTTCABLE> It crashes every time I try to fullscreen a video on their store.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> has for YEARS AND YEARS.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> fucking FUCK.
<glowcoil> yeah steam is pretty bad/buggy/unstable
<ELLIOTTCABLE> how can you never fix a bug that serious and long-lasting!?
<glowcoil> oh man it's literally sublime text
<drparse> glowcoil: and Rundle is pissed
<drparse> so I bought a shitload of stuff on amazon
<glowcoil> drparse: is that who made sublime text?
<drparse> but I've forgotten what I bought
<drparse> glowcoil: he designed it apparently
<glowcoil> ok
<drparse> so it's going to be a big surprise when it arrives
<drparse> yay christmas
<glowcoil> ELLIOTTCABLE: i think you'll like this bass http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_1YKCYBNDU
<glowcoil> takes a while to build up though
<drparse> shit my computer has "zero bytes available"
<drparse> finder has frozen
<drparse> BAIL
<drparse> not sure I've even got enough disk to empty the trash -_-
<glowcoil> haha
<glowcoil> i emptied my trash and downloads the other day
<glowcoil> and gained 27GB
<drparse> wow
<joelteon> i found the end portal
<ELLIOTTCABLE> glowcoil:
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Swapper, Evoland, the Castle Doctrine?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> and most importantly,
<devyn> it's always fucking downloads. mine's probably hundreds of gigs
<ELLIOTTCABLE> THE MOTEHRFUCKING STANLEY MOTHERFUCKING PARABLE!?!?!
<devyn> hell I definitely have over a terabyte of torrented shit I don't need anymore
<glowcoil> ELLIOTTCABLE: have not played any of those
<glowcoil> ELLIOTTCABLE: just picked up swapper in the humble bundle though
<ELLIOTTCABLE> WHAT
<ELLIOTTCABLE> WHAT WHAT WHAT
<ELLIOTTCABLE> do you have steam can I gift you Stanley parable
<ELLIOTTCABLE> stop WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING AND PLAY IT THROUGH
<ELLIOTTCABLE> give it, eh, hour and a half
<ELLIOTTCABLE> mayyyybe two
<ELLIOTTCABLE> it's real short.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> but fucking spectacular.
<devyn> asking the important questions
<glowcoil> ELLIOTTCABLE: my steam is cuttle i think
<glowcoil> ELLIOTTCABLE: ok added you
<ELLIOTTCABLE> how the fuck do I do this
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I hit launch, it goes to the launch pad … and nothing happens. I sit there and wait.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I have a cockpit, a fuel body, and a thruster.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> (trying to do the tutorial.)
<ELLIOTTCABLE> also holy SHIT my laptop can't handle this O_O
<jeannicolas> I have no idea what you are talking about but for a second there without context I thought you were actually building some kind of spaceship…
<glowcoil> <3 jeannicolas
<purr> Let it be known that glowcoil hearts jeannicolas.
<jeannicolas> OH HAI MICAH!
<jeannicolas> ELLIOTTCABLE: something that your laptop can't handle? jeez… my MBA can't handle Fez -_-
<ELLIOTTCABLE> -find spaceship
<purr> ELLIOTTCABLE: +eboyjr: Wow this is like building a spaceship \n +eboyjr: A major feat of software engineering
<glowcoil> jeannicolas: what is up with you
<jeannicolas> -find rainbow
<purr> jeannicolas: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
<jeannicolas> omg! it's beautiful!
<jeannicolas> glowcoil: not much not much!… in less than a month I'm gonna have a babby
<jeannicolas> shit's gettin' real!
<glowcoil> oh shit
<glowcoil> that's awesome
<glowcoil> boy or girl?

<ELLIOTTCABLE> what seriously
<ELLIOTTCABLE> how did I not hear about this O_O
<jeannicolas> ELLIOTTCABLE: pretty sure you have heard about it! :P
<glowcoil> cool, ios games
<glowcoil> been meaning to do some of that
<glowcoil> been working on some in browser stuff while not busy with homework
<jeannicolas> glowcoil: haha they're fun but working on any huge project can get a bit redundant… right now I'm doing a game from scratch using SpriteKit though! so that's fun! :D
<glowcoil> jeannicolas: yeah i've been checking out spritekit, it's nice and fun
<glowcoil> anything in objc ends up being a huge project haha
<jeannicolas> haha can't really disagree with that I guess
<glowcoil> linear algebra is harddd
<glowcoil> :p
<glowcoil> have a test on friday
<joelteon> i'm THIS CLOSE TO
<joelteon> THE END
<joelteon> fighting multiple endermen is incredibly scary
<glowcoil> drparse: got any insights on like the fundamental theorem shit of linear algebra?
<glowcoil> drparse: i think it may be coming together in my head
<glowcoil> drparse: any cool insights you have?
<drparse> it's jeannicolas !
* jeannicolas had a linear algebra class in college
<jeannicolas> ~12 years ago...
<devyn> jeannie have fun with pms worse than anything you've ever experienced

<devyn> growing up
<devyn> but congrats

<jeannicolas> took me a while to figure out what you were saying...
<jeannicolas> I was like... "dude my wife has been pregnant for 8 months... I DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH PMS"...
<jeannicolas> and then I was like... fuuuuuu
<devyn> hahaha
<devyn> this doesn't last months

<devyn> potentially
<jeannicolas> oh.. he just doesn't care about me
<devyn> it might have been during the time
<devyn> there's a rate limit
<devyn> essentially
<devyn> on LOLLING
<devyn> eh
