elliottcable: ^ another person who uses ragel, I'm not alone!
alexgordon is now known as drparse
<whitequark>
ragel is cool
<whitequark>
but it plays way better with C than pure Ruby
<drparse>
yeah I don't use it with dynamic languages
<drparse>
it works pretty much the same either way
<drparse>
i.e., not gaining much from dynamic languages anyway
<whitequark>
well, the culprit is iterating through each symbol
<whitequark>
regexps are 2x-or-so faster
<whitequark>
I'm actually surprised that ragel parser isn't 10x or so slower than the regexp one
gqbrielle has joined #elliottcable
<gqbrielle>
so quiet a room
<whitequark>
... says a person who's been there for just one minute
<gqbrielle>
the last three times i've been in here for 20+ minutes and no one's been fucking here
<drparse>
whitequark: a lot can happen in a minute, or so I say
<gqbrielle>
i usually say something when i log in
<gqbrielle>
then sit for 20 minutes
<gqbrielle>
then leave
<gqbrielle>
so YAY
<gqbrielle>
PEOPLE
<gqbrielle>
...none of whom i know
<drparse>
gqbrielle: your nemesis is here
<drparse>
gqbrielle: also you know me, hopefully
drparse is now known as alexgordon
<gqbrielle>
well, yeah, NOW
<gqbrielle>
i can't with you people & your changing nicks
* gqbrielle
curls up in a ball, pillbug style
<gqbrielle>
my nemesis?
<alexgordon>
*cough* elliottcable
<gqbrielle>
lol i thought you meant darkf
<purr>
lol
<gqbrielle>
i was like WHY
<alexgordon>

<alexgordon>

* gqbrielle
pokes elliottcable with a stick
<alexgordon>
elliottcable is going for a JOB interview
<gqbrielle>
whaaat
<alexgordon>
he needs help
<gqbrielle>
hmmm
<alexgordon>

<gqbrielle>
don't do what i did with my last job interview
<gqbrielle>
i gave the lady finger guns & tongue-clicked at her
<gqbrielle>
i was uh
<gqbrielle>
nervous
<alexgordon>
I… see...
<gqbrielle>
heh
<alexgordon>
one ellipsis of each type, just in case you were lacking
<gqbrielle>
thanks
<alexgordon>
I'm so considerate
* gqbrielle
puts them in their ellipsis wallet
<alexgordon>
gqbrielle: actually he said he's going for a pairing audition, so it could be a date. Fuck if I know
<gqbrielle>
...all google is giving me is meaning submitting writing samples to write for slashfiction blogs
<gqbrielle>
mostly homestuck
<gqbrielle>
so uh
<gqbrielle>
that's what i'm choosing to believe.
<alexgordon>
Elliott/Cable: opening the drobo
<gqbrielle>
today is my birthday
<alexgordon>
now WHY didn't you mention that first?
<gqbrielle>
because i was distracted because people were actually talking
<alexgordon>
is it really your birthday? when it's my birthday I'm all like "MOTHERFUCKERS, IT'S MY BIRTHDAY"
<alexgordon>
well happy birthday!
<gqbrielle>
thank you!
<whitequark>
gqbrielle: wait homestuck is shashfiction?!
<whitequark>
and I even considered reading it once
<gqbrielle>
whitequark: homestuck is a webcomic
<whitequark>
gqbrielle: that's what I thought
<gqbrielle>
a very popular one
<gqbrielle>
hence there are numerous slashfiction blogs about it
<whitequark>
oh...
<gqbrielle>
as tends to happen on Le Internets.
<alexgordon>
well
<alexgordon>
I've got to sleep
<alexgordon>
because, I said I'd push a build today, but I didn't, so I'd better do it tomorrow morning while it's still today in america
<alexgordon>
'gnight
<gqbrielle>

<vil>
happy birthday! :D
<gqbrielle>
thank you!
alexgordon has quit [Quit: Computer has gone to sleep.]
<sanitypassing>
you know, I used to hate it when my English professor gave us a topic for our essays. But now that I have to write an "open" essay for another class, I kinda see why she did that.
<sanitypassing>
I'm 3/5 done with the essay, and can't think of anything more to say.
<gqbrielle>
yeah, i really hate 'open' essays
<sanitypassing>
well, on the plus side, it's pretty much impossible to get anything less than a B on this essay
<gqbrielle>
that's good at least
<sanitypassing>
aaaand done
<sanitypassing>
I like short, easy essays. <3.
<sanitypassing>
as long as I can think of content to write, at least. Had that problem with this one...
<Nuck>
Holy shit this room is semi-active
<Nuck>
Hi gqbrielle, sanitypassing, vil, etc.
<sanitypassing>
Hi.
<sanitypassing>
I rediscovered irc.
<gqbrielle>
Nuck: ikr
<vil>
hi Nuck
<gqbrielle>
see whitequark, i told you it's unusual for there to be people here
<Nuck>
gqbrielle: I give it three days before it dies again, tops
* gqbrielle
grumps
<gqbrielle>
Nuck: then it'll be just us again
<gqbrielle>
watting at each other
<vil>
whitequark: hello, also. I don't believe we've met
<gqbrielle>
across a silent IRC landscape
<Nuck>
gqbrielle: what
<gqbrielle>
Nuck: wat
<Nuck>
gqbrielle: wat
<vil>
Nuck: you've done it wrong
<gqbrielle>
Nuck: wat
<Nuck>
gqbrielle: wat
<gqbrielle>
Nuck: wat
<Nuck>
gqbrielle: wat
<vil>
Nuck: leave and try again
<Nuck>
vil: shhh we're watting
<gqbrielle>
Nuck: wat
<vil>

<vil>

<gqbrielle>
how many watts can a woodchuck watt if a woodchuck could watt watt
<sanitypassing>
oh god what is going on
<vil>
sanitypassing: hehehe
<vil>
the usual
<vil>
of course
<Nuck>
gqbrielle: 1.21 gigawatts
<sanitypassing>
I look away for one minute, and suddenly backlog.
<Nuck>
sanitypassing: Our sanity is passing.
<sanitypassing>
<3.
<gqbrielle>
haha
<vil>
WAT
<Nuck>
As our sanity passes, we become elliotts ourselves, and eventually this room forms into a giant blob of elliott-matter.
<sanitypassing>
so yeah
<sanitypassing>
anyone here play Magic: The Gathering?
<gqbrielle>
nope. why, you considering getting into it?
<sanitypassing>
Already am into it.
<sanitypassing>
Building a deck online currently.
<sanitypassing>
Added 12 cards.
<sanitypassing>
Already worth ~$140
<vil>
nice
<sanitypassing>
M:TG is an expensive game.
<Nuck>
I know a guy who is supposedly one of the best in the Michigan-ish region at M:TG
<sanitypassing>
Name?
<sanitypassing>
Might know him. I know a few people who play in Michigan.
<Nuck>
Uh, Tony?
<sanitypassing>
Nope.
<sanitypassing>
Don't know him.
<Nuck>
Don't remember his last name, he usually just went by the name "Mavyrk" online
<sanitypassing>
yeah, don't know him.
<gqbrielle>
oh my god pidgin
<gqbrielle>
i will bite you
<sanitypassing>
lol pidgin
<purr>
lol
<gqbrielle>
NOTIFY ME WHEN PEOPLE SAY THINGS
<gqbrielle>
fffffffff
<sanitypassing>
>mfw pidgin
<Nuck>
^
<gqbrielle>
heh
<sanitypassing>
oh god this deck is already up to $260
<sanitypassing>
STANDARD, Y U SO EXPENSIVE?
<gqbrielle>
heh
<gqbrielle>
reasons i do not play MTG: 1) sexist brodawgs 2) i has a broke
<sanitypassing>
1) not all of us are. D: 2) yeah...
<sanitypassing>
this game is too damn expensive
<gqbrielle>
the existence of sexist brodawgs
<gqbrielle>
not that all the players ARE sexist brodawgs
<gqbrielle>
overwhelming existence, that is
<sanitypassing>
that is true...
<Nuck>
The same can be said about Reddit and 4chan
<sanitypassing>
indeed
<gqbrielle>
yep, and i don't particularly enjoy those two things either
<gqbrielle>
easier to deal with when it's online though
<sanitypassing>
I need more creatures in this deck...
* gqbrielle
adds a mouse to sanitypassing's deck
<sanitypassing>
Pack Rat deck. Every card is a Pack Rat.
