<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]

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
<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
