<pikajude> shit i broke github desktop
<pikajude> I tried to use the "Discard Changes" feature
<pikajude> whoops!!!!!
<ec> hi
<ec> incomprehensibly, meowrobot, alexgordon, and pikajude
<ec> good afternoon
<ec> I hate my life
<ec> send help
<pikajude> what's the deal
<ec> that's a great one
<ec> “One of the greatest labor-saving inventions of today is tomorrow.” — Vincent T. Foss
<pikajude> ec what is the problem
<ec> idk man
<ec> I've done ~50 hours of work in the past 4 days; more in the rest of the week before that
<ec> I've tried to stop and watch an episode of TV or something a couple times, unsuccessfully. get super antsy and idk when I stop working.
<ec> I thought the breakup I just went through went much better than the previous one, but now I'm fearing a intense-ass come-down from this manic period
<ec> every time I've ever been this manic-productive before, I've come down into a *terrible* depression.
<ec> haven't left the house, or seen anybody other than my ex, in like, a couple weeks
<ec> I have *no friends* left here, basically.
<pikajude> you go manic after breakups?
<ec> not usually
<ec> idk wtf this is
<ec> I was happy af at first. “I'm healthily single, and look at all this productivity I can do on my own!”
<ec> but it's starting to look really sick if I step back and look at it from the outside
<pikajude> uh-oh
<ja> :x
<pikajude> maybe try a benzo or a drink
* ja seconds that
<pikajude> don't combine them! it fucks your memory
* ec shrugs
<ja> ec: if I may: what’s so bad about looking at it from the outside?
* ec yaws, stretches, puts on clothing, and dives back into last night's work of cleaning up test-suite
<ja> ARE YOU NAKED¿
<ec> ja: I wake up, I code, I don't walk my dogs or clean up my house (it's become a rathole, and I'm usually a very OCD person), I code some more, I don't eat except by ordering food once-ish a day total, eventually, I go to sleep. wake up, repeat.
<ec> on the bright side, at this rate, although *I* may be a quivering mess by that time, Paws will have a prototype I can show off in like, a month.
<ec> I'm rly, rly stressed over school application, too.
<ec> haven't heard anything back, and I'm fucking terrified that I didn't get in.
<ec> I don't know what I'm going to *do* with myself this spring if I didn't.
<ec> somebody remind me to sign up for StrangeLoop tomorrow
<ec> don't want to miss it *yet again* ಠ_ಠ
<pikajude> what school ec
<pikajude> what are you going for? i thought you had it made
<ec> shitty local tech school
<ec> idk. credentials? to fill holes in my education and become a better programmer? job prospects?
<pikajude> what do you want a job for?
<ec> life purpose? socialization? so people stop judging me for being a layabout? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
* alexgordon reads
<ec> an alexgordon!
<ec> al anexgordon!
<ec> sounds like a town in the middle-east
<pikajude> ec aren't you wealthy
<pikajude> why don't you just be a famous OSS developer
<ec> yes, so?
<ec> money doesn't make you happy.
<pikajude> make paws
<pikajude> money doesn't make you sad
<ec> that's great if all your friends and family are developers and understand what you do.
<pikajude> it just makes it so there are things you don't have to worry about
<alexgordon> ec: أل أنكس
<ec> see, it makes it so there's *other* things you have to worry about, not *less* things.
<pikajude> oh really
<ec> large quantities of money are basically one giant pile of stress.
<pikajude> damn
<alexgordon> ec: algorithm for life: 1) decide what you want, 2) do it
<pikajude> toss em over here, i'll deal with it
<pikajude> i could use some christmas present money
<pikajude> right now i have about 300 bucks i think
<pikajude> and 15 people to buy for
<ec> there's part 1, right there:
<ec> every relationship eventually becomes about those piles.
<alexgordon> pikajude: I dunno how rich ec is, but there's an optimium amount of money that is least stressful
<pikajude> i want at least a billion dollars
<alexgordon> see, that would be pretty stressful
<pikajude> yes
<pikajude> absolutely
<alexgordon> ec: pretend to be poor
<alexgordon> ec: dress up as a homeless person
<ec> alexgordon: you have absolutely no idea how seriously I have considered that. |=
<alexgordon> oh, wait, I think you got that one sorted
<pikajude> i just want to buy the property i'm renting and possibly pay off my car loan
<pikajude> that's it
<pikajude> RIP
alexgordon was kicked from #elliottcable by ec [alexgordon]
alexgordon has joined #elliottcable
<ec> wtf gtfo fake-ec
* alexgordon cries laughing
<ec> when I originally decided to go back to school, the plan was to rent a second apartment in Chicago, something a lot smaller and further away from campus, and pretend that was my place anytime I was being social
<ec> then just disappear into my actual home near campus when I wanted to be alone
<ec> it'd really help with dating.
<incomprehensibly> hi ja
<alexgordon> ec: have you ever been outside the US?
<incomprehensibly> alexgordon:
<pikajude> ec: whatever you did to get all your money, just do more of that
<pikajude> build an empire
<incomprehensibly> pikajude:
<pikajude> incomprehensibly: ?
<ec> incomprehensibly: ?
<alexgordon> ec: I mean... you could go to Norway, or Singapore, then you would actually be poor
<ec> alexgordon: oh? how so?
<ec> I mean, I'd see Dubai
<ec> but … norway? o_O
<alexgordon> I dunno if dubai is still rich
<ec> honestly, if anything, it's going to be the opposite direction. China, India, Brasil.
<alexgordon> they had a huge recession
<ec> one of the places where I could literally own a province and raise an entire family as rich layabouts.
<ec> alexgordon: really? O_O
eligrey has joined #elliottcable
<alexgordon> ec: well it's more like, they had a huge property bubble, then there was the recession and it burst
<alexgordon> ec: building the world's tallest building was at the peak of it
<alexgordon> but actually when it was completed it no longer seemed such a good idea
<ec> holy shit that is real
<ec> I've seen pics of that building in passing I think but it looked like a render out of a bad video-game super-imposed
<ec> jesus christ that thing is fucking insane, holy. shit.
<alexgordon> ec: most expensive city is probably luanda in angola or port moresby in png
<alexgordon> mainly due to corruption
<ec> taipei 101 is a lot prettier
<ec> holy jesus the burj is nearly two Sears Towers
<ec> *two*
<ec> it looks like it, for real
<ec> sorry I'm still not over this, I need a moment of silence for my previous sense of scale
<ec> jesus christ it's going to be rl. bad when it collapses
<ec> incomprehensibly: hi
<alexgordon> all we have in london is a stupid building that melts cars
<ec> wait, it's only 163 floors?
<alexgordon> only? lol
<ec> jesus christ it's got huge floors
<alexgordon> think that is the most number of floors in the world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_buildings_with_100_floors_or_more
<ec> they're nearly 1/4 taller apiece than the Sears'
<ec> and the Sears Tower has really high ceilings
<ec> so like wtf
<ec> yes it's the most but look how out-of-proportion it is to the *size*
<incomprehensibly> hi ec
<ec> oh this is a relalllllly cool graphic
<incomprehensibly> i like buildings where
<incomprehensibly> at some points you cannot get up or down
<incomprehensibly> where you want to
<incomprehensibly> because it doesn't exist
<ec> “ Wright stated that there would have been parking for 15,000 cars and 150 helicopters.”
<ec> lol when people still thought helis were a good idea at all
<ec> incomprehensibly: what.
<alexgordon> incomprehensibly: you high?
<incomprehensibly> as in
<alexgordon> a kite
<incomprehensibly> there are floors above your current one
<incomprehensibly> but not where you are currently standing
<ec> oh
<ec> thought you meant in terms of navigation
<ec> and the sears tower is v. much like that, it's hellish
<incomprehensibly> practicality wise i'm sure it's not fun
<incomprehensibly> i just like the feeling of it
<ec> mass dampers in towers are the coolest thing
<alexgordon> ec: so I dunno if you answered my question. You ever been outside the US?
<ec> “Wright believed that because his building was fireproof, any fire precautions would be moot.”
<ec> alexgordon: nope
<ec> well, canada, but that's just the U.S.'s hat
<ec> holla devyn_
<alexgordon> true
<alexgordon> ec: you should
<ec> too afraid. sometime.
<alexgordon> ec: haha funny, I'm too afraid to go INTO the US
<ec> alexgordon: o7
<ec> we shall never meet in person
<ec> this is entirely for the best
<alexgordon> :D
<alexgordon> only in canada
<ec> tokyo, gesus
<ec> 38 million people
<alexgordon> ec: go to iceland. it's like alaska, and it's like the safest place in the world
<alexgordon> baby steps
<ec> is this 4 real ಠ_ಠ
<alexgordon> I think saudi arabia is poor now too :P
<alexgordon> ec: lol I like how they're building it in the middle of fucking nowhere: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ad/KT_Building_Progress_07-Jun-2015_02.jpg
<ec> like, … how, though
<ec> I actually don't know how you build a mile-high building without mile-high cranes
<ec> even more entertaining: maybe they don't have a plan
<ec> how fun would that be
<ec> “Yeah, we just decided to build a mile-high tower.” “How?” “Oh, we have no idea, but we figure we'll figure it out as we go along.”
<ec> more interestingly to me, how do you find *ground* that will support a mile-high tower
<ec> god it'd be entertaining if there was a sinkhole or some other anomaly
<ec> The Leaning Tower of Saudi Arabia
<incomprehensibly> i'm taking a computer vision class next semester!
<ec> incomprehensibly: yeah?
<ec> what's your major, again?
<incomprehensibly> CS
<incomprehensibly> with a minor in math
<incomprehensibly> it was going to be a major but I kind of want to get out in 4 years
<incomprehensibly> and that would be another 2 semesters probably
* ec nods
<ec> if I had my way, I'd get through like half a BSCS at this shitty tech college, with *perfect* grades, and then transfer into NU to complete a BSCS / MSAM
<incomprehensibly> I might decide, in a year and a half, to just keep going and get the math degree
<incomprehensibly> but my student debt would go up for every semester after that ;p
<ec> really?
<ec> this shitty IIT's combined BS/MS program keeps scholarships
<ec> it's apparently a big deal? I clearly don't know how scholarships work, of all people :P
<ec> oh wait, you lost yours … I'm sorry :x
<ec> incomprehensibly: send me some music
<ec> incomprehensibly: what happened to ‘glowcoil’ btw
<incomprehensibly> ec: hmmmmm
<incomprehensibly> ec: i made these recently
<ec> I meant music to listen to
<ec> but that too :P
<incomprehensibly> hahaha oh
<ec> god my dog has the stinkiest breath I've ever heard of
<incomprehensibly> yeah glowcoil is like
<incomprehensibly> the ideas are really piled up in my head
<incomprehensibly> but i haven't had the time or breathing room to
<ec> oh wow you're getting better
<incomprehensibly> get anything done
<ec> jesus CHRIST my dog stinks, wtf dog
<incomprehensibly> really proud of this one
<ec> less my style, I don't like bubblepop
<incomprehensibly> hahaha
<ec> but it's complicated without being messy, and I can respect that
<ec> :D
<incomprehensibly> anyway i'm working on an EP with a friend as Astérisme
<ec> …
<ec> asterism
<incomprehensibly> and the 5th and last track is
<incomprehensibly> almost done
<incomprehensibly> mainly that's so
<incomprehensibly> on the album cover
<incomprehensibly> the é can be a box
<ec> no I mean
<ec> lol asterism
<incomprehensibly> ¿
<incomprehensibly> a group of stars that is not a constellation
<incomprehensibly> (and also we can put the typographic character on the cover)
<ec> still lol'ing, that's all
<ec> god my fuzz is needy and I have no idea why
<incomprehensibly> why loling
<alexgordon> oh stuff in here
<alexgordon> I should do some work...
<ec> ugh help me make a damn latte http://coffee.stackexchange.com/q/2352
<ec> alexgordon: heollo
<alexgordon> yes?
