01:36 <SwooshyCueb> Playing ODST for the first time in forever. Holy fuck I missed this.

05:24 <nuck> Hey guys who wants to read the world's scariest API docs?

05:25 <nuck> http://wiki.anidb.net/w/UDP_API_Definition Enjoy this frightening beast

05:25 <nuck> They reimplemented a stateful protocol on top of UDP (using IP+port as keys on the server)

05:25 <nuck> AND if that weren't bad enough, they rolled their own encryption

05:26 <nuck> AND IT STILL GETS BETTER!

05:26 <nuck> On top of this layer of stateful protocol is a state*less* protocol

05:27 <nuck> When suggested that they add a web service API (this was in 2006 when that was a real term)

05:27 <nuck> "Web services are for big idiot corps with rooms of servers and no competent programmers. Spend TCP->HTTP->SOAP overhead to save on personnel."

05:28 <nuck> I just spent 20 minutes chewing out the devs for this

11:14 <inimino> Hello, ELLIOTTCABLE.

11:17 <ELLIOTTCABLE> o7, inimino

11:17 <ELLIOTTCABLE> Been a while. A long while.

11:18 <inimino> Yeah.

11:18 <inimino> How are you? Isn't it ungodly late wherever you are?

11:20 <inimino> ELLIOTTCABLE ⋱ I see by your commits that Paws is still a thing, that's cool.

11:20 <ELLIOTTCABLE> Oh, nah. I gave up half a year ago.

11:21 <ELLIOTTCABLE> After I gave up, I also wrote a specification. It's terrible.

11:22 <ELLIOTTCABLE> I just don't have any motivation for programming-related things anymore. I only still "work on Paws" because it's a codebases I know well, and thus it's easy to sit down and hack on a bit when I have the few-and-far-between bursts of desire to touch a computer.

11:22 <ELLIOTTCABLE> both myself and Micah (glowcoil, now) have burnt out pretty hard on programming.

11:23 <ELLIOTTCABLE> (It's about six AM; I woke up a couple hours ago, my sleep schedule is reliably unreliable. :P )

11:23 <inimino> Ah, ok...

11:23 <ELLIOTTCABLE> inimino: what've you been up to? Weren't you teaching English?

11:23 <inimino> So you're up early, not late, that's good.

11:24 <inimino> Yeah, we started a new school and building some online learning stuff but it's just a side project.

11:25 <ELLIOTTCABLE> This time, oddly enough, yah. I don't just have a programmer's sleep schedule, I have *none*. I'm reliably awake for completely random periods of time. Forty hours straight one "day", then I'll sleep, and be awake for only five before sleeping again.

11:25 <ELLIOTTCABLE> Here's this, by the way. You may be interested in it.

11:25 <ELLIOTTCABLE> -spec @ inimino

11:25 <purr> inimino: Paws' Version 10 specification <http://ell.io/spec>

11:26 <inimino> hm, I think I've actually had random sleep schedules but never for very long

11:30 <inimino> ELLIOTTCABLE ⋱ So you're hacking for fun these days, but not very often?

11:32 <ELLIOTTCABLE> Very rarely, yes. When/if I have motivation, I'm more into new stuff. Trying to break into electronics hacking. Have a lot to learn there, but learning truly new things is what I love most.

11:33 <ELLIOTTCABLE> whitequark's departure has really thrown a wrench into that. Hearing about cool shit he's doing was half my motivation / reminder to learn. Also, he was my best resource. ಠ_ಠ

11:34 <inimino> Ah. How's glowcoil these days? From Twitter it looks like he's mostly into music.

11:34 <inimino> We haven't chatted for a while.

11:57 <ELLIOTTCABLE> inimino: definitely. Music, and other creative/artistic stuff. Game-making, too.

12:15 <ELLIOTTCABLE> inimino: what's your passion, nowadays? Doing anything Great?

12:59 <inimino> ELLIOTTCABLE ⋱ Not really.

21:04 <devyn> shit happens when I disappear for a while, wow

21:29 <ELLIOTTCABLE> inimino: sorry that I disappeared, was typing on my iPad, forgot to get back to you when I got home.

21:46 <ELLIOTTCABLE> hallo, everyone

21:53 <ELLIOTTCABLE> prophile!

21:53 <ELLIOTTCABLE> devyn?

21:53 <prophile> ELLIOTTCABLE!

21:53 <ELLIOTTCABLE> what is up you beautiful human being
