whaack: diana_coman: Not too productive a day. I felt quite tired starting around 3:30pm, not sure why - i've been getting 8h+ sleep consistently. (minus the night of the fiesta, but that was almost a week ago) Anyways, I went through more of the cl-irc source. I am fairly certain I found a bug pertaining to handling unknown replies from the server. A simple patch should make my bot gracefully ignore+log a message that it can't parse inste
whaack: ad of disconnecting the nick that received the message from all its channels.

diana_coman: whaack: add the patch+context to the write-up, sure; re tired, you'll have to figure it out but focused work can do that at times, lol; break/refresh/nap even helps.
diana_coman: jfw: the article is not bad at all; how was it timewise and/or feet dragging-wise?

whaack: diana_coman: ack re adding patch+context to write up. as to the tired thing - i did take a break (in the form of a short surf session) and i came back with more energy. I am surprised you'd suggest a nap, i've always considered napping a bad idea that is to be avoided if possible
diana_coman: whaack: why?
diana_coman: "if tired then go to sleep" doesn't change just because it's 3 pm or something; sure, a needed nap, not a full-blown siesta or something.
whaack: diana_coman: The main reason is because then one may have trouble falling asleep later
whaack: diana_coman: also because there's some startup/wind down cost to sleeping, so it's better to do it all in one go
diana_coman: but seriously, even at 18, after 6 hours of Uni-level Maths at our prof's rather unrelenting pace (peppered with "this is obvious, won't go in detail, you'll figure it out yourselves in time for the exam), I *needed* 20 minutes nap, lol
diana_coman: whaack: what you are describing is not nap though
whaack: right i am thinking on the 1.5 hour scale not 20 min scale
diana_coman: needed nap is exactly that, basically a system shutdown to refresh; fall down and sleep, wake up 15/20 minutes later without any alarm clock or anything.
diana_coman: neah, 15-20 minutes thing; it makes though a significant difference.
diana_coman: hence my above: *not a siesta*!
diana_coman: lolz
whaack: haha
whaack: i never use alarm clocks, unless i have to catch a flight or something
diana_coman: alternatively, you figure out what refresh works best for you, but it has to work and fast enough too.
whaack: i'll give the 20 min nap a shot next time i feel similarly
diana_coman: all right.
diana_coman: re clocks, what can I say, generally I can rely on internal alarm clock to even wake up within ~5 minutes of desired time but I don't think it's an absolutely needed skill for everyone otherwise, lol.
whaack: really, 5 mins? that is impressive. i don't know much about sleep cycles, but I have a suspicion that it's better to wake up at the moment one wakes up naturally than from an interrupt w/ an alarm clock. So even if I do have an alarm clock set, if I wake up with <1 hour remaining until the target time, I turn off the alarm clock and just get up at that moment.
whaack: diana_coman: For my writeup of the pseudocode I am going to only detail how the bot works on a per-network basis. This is because I am restructuring how I coordinate the orchestra of bots. I will include a section on what went wrong with the current orchestration strategy (each network having their own process) and describe possible solutions + the one i'm going with + why
diana_coman: whaack: 'twas more of a side effect really, never aimed as such for it or anything of the sort; and sure, it works under normal circumstances (ie it certainly wouldn't have worked - not that I even *tried* it, ffs - when extremely tired as in will fall asleep if I as much as lean on a wall for 1 second).
diana_coman: whaack: sounds good.

whaack: diana_coman: The writeup is looking like it's going to take the better portion of the day, but it has already been a fruitful exercise. There are problems I've discovered from not having fully digested ircbot.
diana_coman: whaack: heh, sounds exactly as expected :P
diana_coman: so yeah, do it anyway.
whaack: diana_coman: yeah, i expected you had expected this outcome, lol
whaack: and i even bet you're not surprised that i am not surprised that you expected this
jfw: diana_coman: I was pleased with the improvement in the article quality dimension, unfortunately the time wastage did not improve. I find I engaged in various other chats first, which surely could have waited a bit longer, then once started I let it drag on about 3 hours. I recall this being mostly pondering & obsessing & some re-reading & outlining at first, then once I got moving it wasn't so
jfw: bad.
jfw: This then came at the expense of the wallet work time.
diana_coman: jfw: yeah, you need to learn to just get moving; time for pondering is when you go for a walk/set aside time specifically/can't do anything else anyway, that sort of thing but not when you should just start on something; takes some practice though, like everything else.
diana_coman: whaack: ahaha; who do you find to do that bet with? :D
jfw isn't taking the bet
diana_coman: dorion: you alive under that mountain of writing you set for yourself for this weekend? lolz
whaack: xd i found a few fools in my truck full of logs
jfw: diana_coman: I expect I'll have plenty more opportunity to practice the just starting.
diana_coman: jfw: certainly; will you take the opportunity to do exactly the just starting though?
diana_coman: (and yeah, I noticed and fully appreciated your help yesterday in the logs but it did ring the bell, hence the q today)
jfw: I'll do my best & let it improve from there.
diana_coman: sounds good.
jfw: I'm limiting my goal for reviews for today to just the wayward December week, as I still have all the usual to finish as well. So it'll be two days of two of those practice opportunities, heh.
diana_coman: now that's properly setting yourself up at least on the count-your-opportunities side !
jfw will be at keyboard but focused elsewhere unless requested.
diana_coman: perfect.
