[17:24:04] {baal} so this asshat IM’s me asking me why for 30 seconds today one of the 3 external app servers wasnt responsive to one user
[17:24:10] {baal} when did it happen?
[17:24:20] {baal} “between 12:15 and 1:30″
[17:24:29] {baal} oh, well in that case
[17:24:45] {baal} that’s only an hour of logs on 3 hosts to sift through
[17:24:52] {baal} that’s only like 200 mb of text
[17:25:03] {baal} that should take me oh… 3 F@#$ING DAYS
[17:25:30] {ormus} :)
[17:25:44] * ormus tops off his beer, sits back down, leans back, and just takes it all in

[17:27:38] {baal} sigh indeed lil mus
[17:27:47] {baal} man am I beat
[17:28:59] * nule beats baal
[17:30:44] {nule} bbl
[17:32:06] {baal} thanks

[17:58:34] {nule} from a spam i just got
[17:58:36] {nule} Gay Terror Threat Is Real Says Kern Oklahoma State Rep. Sally Kern says she has proof of a network of Al Qaeda funded gays operating within the United States and that sleeper cells are waiting to be activated to unleash terror on straight America
[17:58:52] {nule} what?
[21:33:10] {ormus} lol

[17:17:30] {baal} i swear I’m going to kill everyone here someday
[17:20:09] * nule puts a checkmark on his “baal’s going to kill everyone” calendar
[17:20:41] * ormus clicks on the “make a t-shirt from this headline” link

[09:32:31] {nule} so chryslers are using CVTs now?
[09:32:52] {ormus} what chryslers, nule?
[09:32:55] {ormus} like…most?
[09:33:01] {ormus} not a fan of CVT myself
[09:33:03] {nule} i was looking at the caliber
[09:33:23] {ormus} although maybe they’ve gotten better…last one i was in was an early 00′s mini
[09:33:44] {nule} dunno
[09:34:04] {baal} I like the DSG in my buddies GLI
[09:34:23] {baal} not quite the same thing, but same feeling iirc
[09:36:08] {ormus} hrm
[09:36:11] {ormus} dsg
[09:36:16] {ormus} never heard of it
[09:36:20] {ormus} but if it’s german…
[09:36:22] {baal} err
[09:36:40] {baal} DSG == how F1 rolls
[09:37:01] {nule} oh
[09:37:08] {nule} dsg is what the minis use now
[09:37:16] {nule} continuously variable is totally different
[09:37:29] {nule} dsg = direct shift gearbox
[09:37:35] {baal} yes, same feeling though
[09:37:49] {nule} i don’t see how that’s possible,
[09:38:53] {baal} you “don’t feel it shift”
[09:39:03] {baal} felt the same to me, still drives like an auto
[09:40:03] {nule} haven’t driven either, so i take you word for it
[09:40:31] {baal} even with the dsg, you would swear it’s an auto
[09:40:35] {baal} because it’s set up exactly the same
[09:40:44] {baal} put in drive, mash gas
[09:40:45] {nule} i know they’re usually very fast to shift
[09:40:55] {nule} less mush than a hydrodynamic too
[09:41:01] {baal} _far_ less
[09:41:05] {nule} yeah
[09:41:19] {baal} when they first released them in the VW’s the 0-60 times in the dsg were faster than a manual
[09:41:25] {baal} (still are too)
[09:41:32] {nule} i believe it
[09:41:58] {baal} anyhow, that car was fun to drive
[09:42:00] {nule} wiki says the dsg can shift in 8ms when the ect properly predicts the engine speed
[09:42:26] {nule} i’m still digging the HHR the most of the cars i’m browsing through
[09:42:38] {ormus} hrm
[09:42:46] {ormus} “auto” doesn’t mean i don’t feel it shift
[09:43:08] {nule} but that $3500 rebate from my GM card is somewhat to blame
[09:43:34] {baal} heh
[09:43:39] {ormus} get a viper, nule
[09:43:42] {baal} I think I’d be ok with a GM
[09:43:46] {nule} i’ve driven a viper
[09:43:51] {nule} i never want to again
[09:43:51] {baal} but I wouldn’t be buying a chrysler or a ford
[09:43:55] {ormus} could totally see nule kicking it in a viper…
[09:43:59] {ormus} …in the passenger seat…
[09:44:01] {ormus} …as i drove…
[09:44:11] {nule} i could totally see me eating a telephone pole in a viper
[09:44:15] {nule} …in the passenger seat…
[09:44:16] {ormus} hrmph
[09:44:20] {nule} …as ormus drove…
[09:44:24] {ormus} where’s your sense of adventure, nule?

[14:57:06] {ormus} maximus walks in the front door: “i am the kegmaster. are you the tapkeeper?”
[14:57:12] {ormus} it’s oktoberfest at haddaway, boys!!
[14:58:11] {nule} mmm
[14:59:06] * ormus dangles a beer stein in front of nule
[14:59:09] {ormus} noooooooooooooooool
[14:59:14] {ormus} it’s waiting for you
[14:59:29] {maximus} all my hopes and dreams for this evening have quickly come to fruition
[14:59:35] {maximus} i hath found heaven
[14:59:40] {maximus} in a pint glass
