<alexgordon> supermemo is the shit
<vigs> gq: btw I got her number
<alexgordon> I'm actually running out of material faster than I can learn words
<alexgordon> it's insane how easy it is to learn well structured data
<alexgordon> vigs: whose number?
<vigs> cute new dev at work
<alexgordon> vigs: don't be silly, girls don't code!
<vigs> yes they do
<alexgordon> -nope @ vigs
<vigs> and she's CUTE
<alexgordon> lol someone's happy
<purr> lol
<vigs> I guess?
<vigs> I mean, I'm not gonna ask her out for a bit
<vigs> I mean, she started this week.
<vigs> welp I meant to delete the first clause
<alexgordon> I don't need girls. I have SUPERMEMO
<alexgordon> so: big problem. I wrote an interval randomization routine, but it's on my laptop, which is behind me
<alexgordon> to get I'd have to _turn around_
<alexgordon> which is just, too much work
<alexgordon> this is a job for ssh
<gq> vigs: i thought you already had her number
<gq> hey alexgordon.
<alexgordon> sup gq
<gq> alexgordon: nothing good. what's up with you? :)
<alexgordon> gq: RANDOMIZED INTERVALS IN SPACED REPETITION ALGORITHMS
<gq> alexgordon: that sounds....annoying
<gq> -what
<purr> <alexgordon> like a place for really religious salmon to go
<alexgordon> indeed
<gq> fuck, i almost just ripped my earlobe off
<gq> soon my ears will be nothing but scar tissue :(
<gq> i keep fucking them up by accident.
<alexgordon> o_O
<vigs> gq: naw, I got it today
<gq> vigs: duly noted.
<vigs> basically how I told you I'd ask
<vigs> so it's still pretty innocent or whatever, just chatting away
<gq> alexgordon: i had lobe piercings were with cheap jewellry. allergic reactions, doctor visits, etc.
<gq> alexgordon: now my right one looks like one of those african tribes that stretch their earlobes.
<vigs> brb
<gq> or, as the piercing shops in america call fucked up piercings: catbutt. it looks like a cat's asshole.
<gq> -what
<purr> <Nuck> YOU BEEPED, YOU BASTARD
<gq> a;ildsyf;oaiydsf hahahaha
<alexgordon> vigs: how did you ask?
<gq> vigs: he's trying to keep it nice and casual
<gq> vigs: i told him all the women devs i know are lesbians or married but i don't think he paid attention.
<gq> NOOO
<gq> i mean alexgordon.
<gq> sigh.
<gq> -what
<purr> <incomprehensibly> BUT ELEPHANT REMAINED INSIDE

<purr> * devyn haggasadandalcold
<gq> -what
<purr> <micahjohnston> somebody should get a large corpus of english text in IPA and markov-chain it to a text-to-speech
<alexgordon> gq: LOL
<purr> LOL
<alexgordon> all lesbians and married huh?
<alexgordon> man why did I get myself into this profession
<gq> alexgordon: yes. or trans women, who are also married lesbians.
<gq> alexgordon: i told him this and provided several awkward 'gq discovering she IS attracted to girls' stories
<gq> alexgordon: but i think all he heard was 'blah blah blah lesbian sex blah awkward blah happy ending'
<alexgordon> gq: hm, I have to read the backlog
<gq> alexgordon: cheery was explaining lisp to me last night.
<alexgordon> lol and?
<purr> lol
<alexgordon> sooo 1.5 is way too low, that much is obvious
<gq> alexgordon: so ec has offered to teach me lang like 50 times but i think this is the first time anyone's actually completed a lesson and i was there for the whole thing
<alexgordon> 1.8 looks good though
<alexgordon> gq: lol
<gq> :>
<alexgordon> gq: don't ask ec to teach you things :P
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Ugh fuck all of you
<gq> alexgordon: i don't, usually

<purr> <gkatsev> yes, the tattoo of a beard
<alexgordon> ELLIOTTCABLE: fucking good evening to you too
<gq> alexgordon: he's mad because i implied some things about his character earlier that he didn't like.
<alexgordon> gq: meh I do that all the time
<alexgordon> he hasn't banned me yet!
<gq> alexgordon: hasn't he? shit. i've been banned like 3x, from this AND #paws
<gq> banned or flounced, one of the tow.
<gq> two.
<alexgordon> gq: I dunno, maybe once, I can't remember
<gq> alexgordon++
<purr> Let it be known that gq loves alexgordon.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> gq: … stop making it sound like you did something unreprochable and normal, and I'm overreacting.
<gq> ELLIOTTCABLE: you're right! i'm overreacting and you are unapproachable and normal.
<gq> ELLIOTTCABLE++
<purr> Let it be known that gq loves ELLIOTTCABLE.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> First, until you kept mentioning it to others, I neither cared nor reacted. Second, and more importantly, you *didn't* just imply something I didn't like (I wouldn't care much, or at least I'd simply respond outright), but you said (not implied.) something *completely* baseless.
<gq> ELLIOTTCABLE: i know you better than most of these people.
<gq> ELLIOTTCABLE: as you have mentioned, i am your best friend.
<gq> ELLIOTTCABLE: for a given value of 'best.'
<ELLIOTTCABLE> And now you're repeatedly telling people about it in a way that completely misrepresents something minor and meaningless, and I'm getting tired of it. /=
<ELLIOTTCABLE> so, please stop. k? thanks.
<gq> ELLIOTTCABLE: you usually get tired of me when i'm suicidal and unhappy. it's fine. i'm used to it.
<gq> alexgordon: remember me when i get banned again, okay? :/
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Not banning you. I give zero shits about this channel.
<gq> ELLIOTTCABLE: are you gonna be home soon? we could play a game together. like. minecraft or WoW or something.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Anyway, apparently I'm about to be sung to for my birthday at a hibachi restaurant. Buckets of ugh.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I'm down for WoW or GW2.
<alexgordon> kids, play nicely
<gq> sounds like it. :/ hang in there
<gq> ELLIOTTCABLE: i still have the SIMS 2 family i made based on you somewhere.
<alexgordon> ELLIOTTCABLE: happy birthday!
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Sorry if I'm terse. Shattered phone screen and no internet means every word sent to IRC equates to glass shards I my thumbs. >,<
<gq> ELLIOTTCABLE: sorry for bugging you, then. :(
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Thanks. Means lots. Much love.
<gq> ELLIOTTCABLE: <3
<ELLIOTTCABLE> BBL ughbachi.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> oh no oh no oh no
<ELLIOTTCABLE> there's a video
<ELLIOTTCABLE> and now it's on Facebook
<gq> i promise not to watch it.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> oh no oh no
<ELLIOTTCABLE> lol omfg family
<purr> lol
<gq> ELLIOTTCABLE: i very nearly bought an amtrak ticket to bozeman earlier.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Lololol shoulda
<ELLIOTTCABLE> … my family, if Gabrielle showed up. Oh my gods lol.
<gq> somehow i didn't think your family would apprecite it if a slurring, barely-clothed gq fetched up on your doorway in the night
<gq> i could be wrong though ELLIOTTCABLE ;)
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Probably wrong
<ELLIOTTCABLE> my new mom is extremely laid-back and awesome
<gq> most likely.
<gq> oh! well that's good.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> siblings similar, although there's a lot of hilarious infighting
<gq> ...dare i ask what happened to the old one?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> She's mellowed out my dad *even more*
<gq> ELLIOTTCABLE: infighting is fun when it's with siblings that you like.
<gq> at least, i think so.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I'm legally bound not to speak of the events of that night /=
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Well I like most of them
<gq> ELLIOTTCABLE: that's fine, hon. i'm glad you like them.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> one is kinda a douche, oldest of then,
<gq> ELLIOTTCABLE: you're not the oldest? are you second oldest?
<gq> eldest kids are always douches. i would know, i'm the oldest.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> but now there's an older, stronger, and capable-of-buying-alcohol brother in town. So even *he's* mellowrd out a bit.
<gq> :p
<gq> i see.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Nah they're all young
<ELLIOTTCABLE> 14, 17, 19, maybe?
<gq> ah, i see.

<Cheery> Today I'd have to design some data structures into snakelisp
<katlogic> devyn: I keep wondering for which fansub group you are translating.
<katlogic> if you're internet famous, don't hide truth from us!
<gq> katlogic: devyn is really big overseas :3
<katlogic> omg omg anyone else here being internet famous?
<katlogic> internet famous = rips game roms, rips dvds, subs anime, uploads rare torrents, generally any form of making internets better place to live
<katlogic> devyn: which group?
<gq> katlogic: ELLIOTTCABLE is internet famous
<gq> katlogic: he's a lot more internet famous than devyn
<katlogic> people often mistake cases of unwarranted self importance for internet celebrity
<katlogic> youtube views, twitter followers or ripping old gif sites on vine is not exactly helpful to anyone. i can't fathom the americans urge to be "famous" like that.
<gq> you're not american, then?
<katlogic> thats not the reason for being bitter; i'm just really really bigoted
<vigs> lol
<purr> lol
<katlogic> americans = nation of SJW hypocrites who pretend to be sunshines, in reality are obsessed with their notion of fame and money
<katlogic> being european is basically just 'commies' with whatever it entails
<gq> katlogic: sounds like a Texan
<vigs> as an american, can confirm not true
<gq> vigs: shhhh, she's busy making wild generalisations
<gq> i love wild generalisations.
<vigs> oh
<gq> please, katlogic, continue.
<vigs> while we're at it…elephants are dickheads, I mean what else could that trunk be used for lol
<gq> if you think their trunks are weird, you should see their dicks.
<gq> elephant dicks are nuts.
<vigs> really? their dicks double as their testicles, too?
<gq> possibly. i've never seen elephant balls.
<gq> just the dick.
<katlogic> gq: the only thing worse than american, is a russian. they've this twisted notion of hero worship, but instead of SJW points scored like in US, they have their own macho version of the game.
<gq> katlogic: i like russians.
<gq> katlogic: also you haven't answered my question. so, you are american, right?
<katlogic> gq: so despite the two hating each other, they're one and the same, except with US having propensity towards shallow social justice, and the russians towards exaggerated masculinism (cue putin crocodille hunter photos)
<katlogic> gq: nah, somewhere deep in arsehole of europe actually
<gq> katlogic: so.....you're saying you hate russians despite them being the same as americans really.
<gq> katlogic: really? because your /whois says you're in texas.
<katlogic> hey, don't overgeneralize my /whois
<gq> oh, okay.
<katlogic> gq: yeah, i guess i hate russians more because they show up here more often as illegal immigrant workers.
<gq> katlogic: ah, so they work hard for little money. that definitely sounds unamerican.
<katlogic> americans are mostly really annoying expats exploiting cheap cost of living here (despite them being on US welfare)
<gq> there are lots of russians in my town. so many that we have specifically russian pharmacies and grocery stores!
<gq> i see.
<katlogic> gq: in my country, there are places where russian mob bought whole cities
<katlogic> usually spring health resort areas; eg karlovy vary
<gq> yeah the russian mob is nothing to fuck with.
<katlogic> s/spring/spa/
<gq> all the russians in my town are mostly women/children
<gq> refugees.
<gq> we have an international airport.
<gq> so we get a lot of refugees, sometimes.
<katlogic> gq: as for illegal workers. it would be alright, except its basically slave trade.
<katlogic> loan sharks line up slaves in .ru/.ua
<gq> they take a lot of the jobs here. i don't really mind.
<katlogic> then export em to .cz for slave labour to pay off debts
<gq> most of them are prettier than the natives.
<katlogic> gq: worst of all, i get often mistaken for a russian thanks to slavic accent.
<katlogic> slav accent == russian; bah
<gq> katlogic: yeah, it comes across as russian to a lot of people apparently.
* katlogic is a bigoted person complaining about ignorant people
<gq> heh.
<katlogic> gq: Anyhow, it's easy to overgeneralize on IRC. In real life it's a tougher one.
<gq> katlogic: also true!
<katlogic> For example, i have no qualms asking an online tranny whether they cut off their member. In real life it does not bear any relevance since people are more than mere lines of text.
<gq> would you ask me such a question?
<gq> i feel like that's kind of dickish of you since most of the trans women i know only feel comfortable online.
<gq> so you asking them such would constitute an invasion of privacy.
<katlogic> gq: I think its hardwired in people, to act like dicks in anonymous mobs.
<prophile> Due to extensive research done by the Fourchon University of Science, diamond has been confirmed as the the hardest metal known the man. The research is as follows.
<prophile> Pocket-protected scientists built a wall of iron and crashed a diamond car into it at 400 miles per hour, and the car was unharmed.
<prophile> They then built a wall out of diamond and crashed a car made of iron moving at 400 miles an out into the wall, and the wall came out fine.
<prophile> They crashed 400 miles per hour into a diamond travelling at iron car. Western New York was powerless for hours.
<prophile> They then crashed a diamond car made of 400 miles per hour into a wall, and there were no survivors.
<prophile> They rammed a wall of metal into a 400 mile per hour made of diamond, and the resulting explosion shifted the earth's orbit 400 million miles away from the sun, saving the earth from a meteor the size of a small Washington suburb that was hurtling towards midwestern Prussia at 400 billion miles per hour.
<prophile> They shot a diamond made of iron at a car moving at 400 walls per hour, and as a result caused two wayward airplanes to lose track of their bearings, and make a fatal crash with two buildings in downtown New York.
<prophile> They spun 400 miles at diamond into iron per wall. The results were inconclusive.
<prophile> Finally, they placed 400 diamonds per hour in front of a car made of wall travelling at miles, and the result proved without a doubt that diamonds were the hardest metal of all time, if not just the hardest metal known the man.
<gq> katlogic: true. my family was driven out of Europe by such people.
<katlogic> gq: No doubt about it, unless your family is actually native american.
<gq> katlogic: nope! white and french/german/welsh.
<gq> ...unless someone thinks i'm german/romani
<gq> in which case watch the fur fly.
<gq> WHY DID I TYPE GERMAN WHEN I MEANT JEWISH

<gq> and i have what is called a 'jewfro' by some people if i let my hair grow out.
<gq> katlogic: yep.
<katlogic> so whenever social inequality gets too high; people take aim at POOR jews
<gq> i'm not saying i'm jewish. just that my family is used to having passed as white christians for a long time.
<gq> katlogic: mhm!
<katlogic> because all jews are equal; amirite lol
<purr> lol
<gq> apparently
<gq> xP
<vigs> anyone in here watch Sherlock?
<katlogic> gq: ginger hair AND cryptojewish ancestry?
<vigs> because there's a guy at this hackathon who looks like Moriarty
<katlogic> gq: boy; how stereotypical can you get
<vigs> like a short, drunk moriarty
<gq> katlogic: my hair turns red/orange if i bleach it, & i have freckles.
<gq> katlogic: so yes, i look like some kind of horrible, horrible walking hate crime in the summer.
<katlogic> vigs: pics!
<katlogic> Having company employees come in and work all night under the guise of innovation and opportunity with little or not reward to ones self for the sole purpose of benefiting the company.
<katlogic> dang it, someone beat me to it
<gq> heh
<vigs> katlogic: sorry, that'd be kinda weird lol
<purr> lol
<katlogic> vigs: I thought that was the another point of hackathons, besides free labour, to post happy pictures on social networks to attract more poor souls to the place.
<gq> yeah dawg i'm like she's taking about your weekend vigs
<gq> katlogic: it is. you're 100% right.
<vigs> lol
<katlogic> gq: As a cis male, I feel slightly offended by transgendering me on IRC solely on the basis of my nickname.
* katlogic fights the urge to start tumblr blog about it
* gq giggles
<gq> katlogic: i'd follow you!

<gq> twitches. i have all the twitches.
<gq> i am not happy about this.
<gq> not.
<gq> happy.
<vigs> yikes
<katlogic> witch to the t
<katlogic> ok, bad pun
* katlogic gets the hose
<gq> vigs: it's all in my feet, too! or my hands!
<gq> WHY.
<gq> -why
<purr> gq: ’cause, idfk, reasons ’n stuff
<gq> -fingernails
<purr> gq: they're weird
<gq> yus.
* katlogic gets those regularly too
<katlogic> usually after 5th cup of coffee
<gq> i've been drinking root beer all day
<katlogic> well, sassafras root bark is used as a precursor to MDMA
<katlogic> still weird you'd twitch after that shit
<gq> my brain is extremely weird.
<gq> uppers make me depressed, downers make me manic.
<gq> comes with the territory.
<vigs> :(
<gq> it could be worst. i could have bad reactions to small unlabelled white pills my dad sends me in a bag like ec
<gq> -opoids
<gq> sigh
<gq> purr: WHY
<gq> -ovoids
<gq> dere.
* vigs is def still thinking about cute dev
* gq is still thinking about the robot addentas helping
<gq> -robot addentnas
<gq> -what
<purr> <inimino> I am a perfectly good reason to be hot and bothered.
<gq> -what
<purr> <ELLIOTTCABLE> ASCII art may be hard, but we don't have to parse things top-to-bottom
<gq> -what
<purr> <Nuck> I think there's actually a wat about my mangina. >_>
<katlogic> Cute devs are horrible people because they mostly outrank you as a nerd
<katlogic> coding ability = cuteness * technical skill
<katlogic> you cant compete with that
<vigs> katlogic: psh I'm not trying to compete, I'm trying to date
<vigs> (she's super cool and awesome to talk to, too)
<katlogic> Yeah, thats the problem. You're familiar with nerd power play.
<vigs> .__.
<katlogic> nerds respect each other only under dire circumstances
<katlogic> for example when two nerds, one being expert at freebsd, second expert at linux
<vigs> um…no?
<katlogic> and they mutually acknowledge their expertise
<katlogic> but throw together two linux nerds
<katlogic> and you have constant one-upmanship about whos bigger linux nerd
<vigs> sure
<vigs> but we're on the same team (but working on two vastly different projects), so there's that
<katlogic> well, that might work then
<katlogic> say one doing frontend and second doing backend
<katlogic> no terrible sex puns intended
<vigs> teehee
<vigs> naw, iOS and cybersecurity
<katlogic> your $workplace seems too advanced compared to anything i'm familiar with
<katlogic> here we have only web monkeys, mobile monekys, backend monkeys, devops monkeys
<vigs> lol
<purr> lol
<katlogic> ie all mobile plats lumped together
<vigs> it's kind of a big company
<katlogic> cyberanything is devops etc
<katlogic> webdesign means you're familiar both with photoshop and angular and so on
<katlogic> vigs: yeah, micro-separation of tasks like that ... does anything ever get done that way?
<vigs> yup
<katlogic> guess that says a lot about differences in cultures wrt cooperation ability
<vigs> I don't see how that's a micro-separation, though
<katlogic> europeans suck at it, thus have to be jacks of all trades
<katlogic> vigs: a mobile dev who knows only ios wouldnt get hired here
<katlogic> simply does not qualify in the market
<katlogic> ditto for webdev who knows only part of the job
<vigs> ah.
<katlogic> webdev = anything web and design related and so on
<vigs> yeah, we hire a lot, so we grow super fast. loads of people who're good at what they do get hired (hopefully lol)
<purr> lol
<katlogic> Ah, I see, well if it's a bubble thing its ok.
<katlogic> Need moar people to milk for moar VC cap.
<katlogic> We have few places like that here too. The free redbulls are nice touch, but otherwise rather toxic place :/
<vigs> It's not a bubble thing, though. The CEO got 50mil just for the product development dept.
<vigs> It's not a startup anymore, so there's that
<vigs> when I joined there were like 550ish employees maybe, now there're 800-900ish
<katlogic> As long it milks VCs its a startup.
<vigs> (I started a year ago)
<vigs> well, just over a year ago
<katlogic> Yeah, same here.
<vigs> we have real revenue
<katlogic> My local startup like that is about 500 ish now.
<katlogic> Still milks VC for money and aggresively expands.
<vigs> uh. k
<katlogic> vigs: btw, social media by any chance? :)
<vigs> yup, what's up?
<vigs> @sarcasticsimba on Twitter ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
<katlogic> seems like those companies have very similiar parameters everywhere
<vigs> oh
<vigs> ohh
<vigs> no, my company's not in social media
<vigs> business management software for companies in the health/wellness/beauty sectors
<katlogic> ah, that wouldnt fly here :)
<katlogic> most "succesful" startups here is social and medical data analytics
<katlogic> successful quoted, because unsustainable bubblish aggresive growth, and there will be correction at some point
<vigs> yurg
<vigs> that can crash though
<katlogic> naah
<katlogic> empty shells crashed long ago
<katlogic> VCs are very careful about this sort of thing in eastern europe
<katlogic> bay area vcs set a foot here only after couple of UK funds experienced with this test the waters first and so on
<katlogic> but the moment some startup turns out to be not complete bullshit, it explodes
<katlogic> so in the end you get this overcritical beaty contest, where capital is concetrated in few poster children
<katlogic> a lot of less connected, but otherwise healthy kids, got binned
<vigs> bbl
<katlogic> and of course sea of scams, because country is shit poor and a lot of people do it for a living
<Cheery> on elephant balls (the earlier subject), it's an another animal along hippo that have internal testicles?
<Cheery> might explain why one hasn't seen such things.

<gq> moarlikethestr8man.bmp
<joelteon> yea
<joelteon> so i've been using tinder recently
<gq> oh god
<prophile> only you can prevent forest fires
<joelteon> i tried it awhile ago and it never worked
<joelteon> but
<joelteon> i started taking a new approach
<joelteon> and it's working out very well
<prophile> it's all about how you hit the flints
<prophile> don't bother with the whole rubbing sticks together thing
<gq> i try not to hit anything when i'm talking to women
<gq> unless it's myself, in the face, for being such an awkward fucking failure
<joelteon> it's amazing how well it works if you just say "hi, you're cute, wanna bang?"
<prophile> see there's your problem
<gq> prophile: yeah the rubbing sticks thing is definitely more homoerotic than, uh, conducive to lesbians banging, turns out
<prophile> if there's one thing women want it's to be lit on fire
<gq> joelteon: that's because you're smart and attractive.
<joelteon> have you seen me
<gq> i am neither smart nor attractive
<gq> so i understand these things.
<gq> i don't need to, joelteon. your nick is a pokemon. i understand your nick.
<joelteon> oh ok
<gq> boys with pokemon nicks already tell me all i need to know about them.
<joelteon> no kidding
<joelteon> but given that, i've only had four girls respond positively
<gq> out of how many?
<joelteon> well i've only asked four
<gq> heh.
<joelteon> but that's as of thursday
<gq> noted.
<joelteon> so i've been at work
<joelteon> and not had time
<gq> yes, yes, we know, you have a job
<joelteon> so whether or not they can follow through
<joelteon> is still yet to be determined
<gq> ah, right, it only counts if you bang them
<joelteon> right
<gq> try not to break any hearts on your way through their beds, hm?
<joelteon> ok
* gq usually manages to break their hearts without banging them
<joelteon> nice
<gq> is it?
<gq> my last ex gf tried to break up me and my now husband
<gq> took pictures of us together to use as blackmail
<gq> and always wanted to cuddle in the hot tub at my apartment.
<gq> she also directly caused my car to become totalled.

<joelteon> fuckin nerd
<glowcoil> just realized it's way more "teenagers whining over guitars" than any other music ELLIOTTCABLE calls that
<gq> glowcoil: mhm
<glowcoil> I want to make things for teenagers tho
<glowcoil> like, scott westerfeld books and emo pop punk
<glowcoil> are noble things to make
<gq> glowcoil: scott westerfeld is great
<gq> glowcoil: also consider the gal who wrote Crank
<gq> glowcoil: she writes books from the teen's point of view in poetry
<gq> and she sells them like hotcakes.
<gq> it's fucking amazing.
<glowcoil> crank the movie?
<gq> glowcoil: maybe.
<gq> glowcoil: her daughter did it and either actually died or almost did.
<gq> glowcoil: that'd fuck anybody up enough to write teen poetry books for the rest of their life, imo :/
<glowcoil> ok crank the book is totally different
<glowcoil> i should read this
<gq> yes.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Wat
<glowcoil> hi ELLIOTTCABLE
<glowcoil> gq: finsihed fun home last night
<glowcoil> so good
<gq> glowcoil: nice x3
<glowcoil> the allusions and the counterpoint between the visuals and words and the pacing and everything
<glowcoil> and the simultaneous entertaining and skepticism of the tidy narratives
<gq> glowcoil: yeah, she really likes to play with that kind of thing. it's fascinating.
<glowcoil> if i could only write something that incredible
<gq> hehe. baby steps.
<gq> glowcoil: your fucking shit, the music and the art. i fully expect to some day have to tell someone, "yeah, i knew him WHEN."
<gq> lol
<purr> lol
<gq> glowcoil: it's all so good!
<gq> it's like you worry about it being technically correct and the other stuff second
<gq> which is the opposite of what i did
<gq> which is good xD
<glowcoil> aww thanks!! :)
<gq> x3
<gq> glowcoil: i actually drew a skull behind the face of my self-portrait last night
<glowcoil> yeah my thing used to be just like, programming and math, so i kind of carry that approach
<gq> glowcoil: so it's maybe the most technically correct self portrait i've ever done, despite the fact that i look like a skull :P
<glowcoil> oh cool
<glowcoil> this is something i started practicing based on yesterday, after drawing that face http://www.stanprokopenko.com/blog/2009/05/draw-head-any-angle/
<glowcoil> but yeah getting used to anatomy shapes
