diana_coman: trinque: ah, I hadn't realised the split of tasks between drunk&deed bots; do you plan to publish some docs & roadmap re those bots and/or whatever services you offer through them?
diana_coman: whaack: that "weird foam" on leaves/trees is most likely the traces of "spittlebugs".
whaack: diana_coman: ah ty, I'm glad I didn't touch it after reading about how spittlebugs make those bubbles
diana_coman: lobbes: did you have anything on the agenda for today's talk?
diana_coman: whaack: are you happy in the end with the stalling/spinning or what?
jfw made it to the fallback castle, and was not given a cooties test
diana_coman: jfw: oh hey, congrats!
jfw: ty diana_coman. dorion should be fine too, just has the longer leg on ground transit.
jfw: the flight out of panama was packed; the connecting flight within US pretty light
diana_coman: kind of to be expected, no?
diana_coman: I suppose it's good that there still are connecting flights within US, huh
jfw: I wasn't sure what to expect, e.g. some were cancelling flights while others booked
diana_coman: confusion, what else to expect!
diana_coman: lolz
diana_coman: jfw: anyways, you have therefore *plenty* to review!
jfw: dunno how much confusion, but complications were that the plane arrived late, and someone fell (said initial reports at least) during boarding and was de-planed
jfw: plenty to review indeed; plenty to sleep first
diana_coman: lol, thrown off the plane for stumbling?
jfw: I'd guess more like passing out, but did not witness.
diana_coman: but anyways, glad to hear you got where you wanted to be.
lobbes: diana_coman: I had nothing specific to discuss for today
lobbes: (or in general, for that matter!)
diana_coman: lobbes: o.O ; are you done with discussing for the next 5 years or what?
lobbes: diana_coman: no not at all lol. I just realized "nothing specific" was an odd phrasing
diana_coman: lobbes: ah, it sounded like "nothing for today or in general"
lobbes: but for today I'm just working through this article. Going to get my review n' such out. Still on track with my one-job-application-per-day too
diana_coman: ok
whaack: diana_coman: no i'm certainly not happpy with the stalling/spinning. Catalonia returned, which has returned me to a good mood while taking away time.
diana_coman: lolz, the boomerang effect

diana_coman: feedbot should announce it, but possibly it's slow today; /me looks
diana_coman: trinque: I left a comment there, it's possibly a better place for the discussion anyway.
diana_coman: do feel free to move it here though if you prefer/think it works better as a conversation.
diana_coman: cruciform: what operating system are you using?

cruciform: ubuntu 16.04
diana_coman: cruciform: can be worse, lol; anyways, re "no idea how long this will take so won't estimate", that's silly to start with; the point of estimating is precisely to start getting such ideas.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-12-04 16:37:20 diana_coman: the learning/new part simply means that you double/triple/whatever your estimate because you clearly can't possibly estimate it correctly when you are not even sure wtf that thing is; then there is the above and the expecting-the-unexpected that comes on top and yes, it's more of a perspective shift indeed.
cruciform: diana_coman, I thought it'd be better to have no estimate than an estimate pulled out of arse. I can see that this resolves to "not getting started" (however roughly). I'll go back and add time estimates.
diana_coman: trinque: answered.
diana_coman: cruciform: in what way better?
diana_coman: (can be - but you have to make the case for it, can't just "better" :P )
cruciform: diana_coman, better in the sense that I was being lazy: avoiding the effort of estimating how long things'll take
diana_coman: cruciform: btw, if you want to jump in anyway, can do worse than using the opportunity to write a short awk script to log your time; there's a quite good tutorial iirc.
cruciform: diana_coman, thanks! I'll check it out; I've added time estimates to the post
diana_coman: cruciform: aha; anyways, there you go, this has been essentially an #o light taster for you; re reading the logs to get an idea what it is about, perhaps better start with people's articles on their experience/getting in; some struggled with the question of "do I want in?" for a while.
diana_coman: cruciform: also, you might want to change your article's category there, you *can* choose it, you know?
cruciform: diana_coman, "derp" seems appropriate, at least for now ;)
diana_coman: lol, ok then; anyways, have fun!
diana_coman will be back tomorrow.
dorion made it to vermont.
whaack: dorion and jfw: good to hear you're back at your roots safe and sound.
whaack: In coronavirus beach news: police are kicking surfers out of the water around here.
trinque: bahaha, how is surfing not "social distancing"
whaack: yeah...no idea.
whaack: They closed most of the beaches though so I guess kicking the surfers out is just an extension of kicking everyone off the beach. It's pretty silly though because most of these beaches are ~deserted on a day to day basis anyways
BingoBoingo: jfw dorion: Good to hear your transits passed smoothly
