21:56 alright it's time to serious #
22:16 I seem to hear nothing but anger for the new google docs (as is my experience). When is the new going to catch up with the old? #
22:17 In other news, I think I've just learned InDesign. Seems far better than other programs for laying out my RPG book #
22:22 @invispace no this serious: internetseriousbusiness.com/ #
22:28 @flatlinejack twitpic.com/24rtfv - I feel like making a D&D campaign based around this spam. That or a heavy metal music video. #
22:59 if danbooru is any authority it would seem the Miku Append > other mikus. I don't disagree but needs moar 16bit warz #
23:42 @evilzug @flatlinejack that's totally how I feel when I see people on the interscreen #
00:39 well I hope gPotato is at least learning from all this aika/allods stuff.. some really horrible design choices there #
00:59 cool story, bro: digs.by/c84zLq I don't know the math, but I agree with the philosophy #
01:05 I'm super excited about App Inventor. People slamming it are completely out of the loop / corporate zombies. #

00:47 programmers: is there an official name for the data structure of a tree with multiple parents per node? (think family tree) #

04:33 in #reddead just tied up a man and put him on the train tracks. he absolutely exploded. felt far more like murder than shooting someone. #

11:50 RIP Kin, we hardly knew ye. no really. honestly my condolences to the team who worked on it - that has to be tough #
12:00 @Morigor our cats are the same way all the time #
12:04 that's just cruel... I just watched my girlfriend murder some other girl without much warning and then proceed to kill her donkey. #
00:05 @xtat how so? just the long-form syntax? I think they're a great use case for generators, and yeah lambda is ugly in comparison #
00:06 @akashayi cool you'll have to fill me in - one of the only panels I'm upset to be missing #
00:14 @xtat generator expressions almost removes the need for list-comp or lambda but it didn't come until way later #
00:17 @flatlinejack just noticed there's a character in Red Dead Redemption named Gerald Conway. Relative of yours perhaps? #

01:24 @xtat I can see that - but I've also used them to help clean up needless prep statements so I think it depends on how they're used #
01:31 I really despise advice in the form of 'first use these tools/techniques then all you have to do is create compelling content!'... #

01:46 @xtat I'm a big fan of one-thought-one-line as long as it's still readable. python is my fav lang partly because of how well it does that #
02:01 so much bacon! #
02:03 @xtat haha, I was a big fan of perl before python - now I find it too messy and inelegant. python is superior in all ways but obfuscation #

07:24 101A is some awesome music. very haunting. of all of the songs I have called 'Christmas Song' theirs is the most somber #

07:29 gotta say, in the battle for the most amazing band names between Japan and US indie, Japan beats the flannel off of us #
07:45 now on to ADAPTER, which is a high energy chiprock a la FLOPPY or RAM RIDER. Good but too much energy for me right now #
