[12:15] *** spirit has joined #dw.
[12:15] tzikeh: phoenix - I know, right?!
[12:16] Azz: I did some testing at some point, and one of the BEST and easiest way to break shit is to post it inline, then redate it to the past.
[12:16] Azz: you get multiple flows of prev/next that way
[12:16] Azz: it's awesome.
[12:16] nopeas|work: Aubrey is happiest when he's got something straightforward and simple in front of him and he can take action on it, preferably physical action. He's the hit/eat/drink/screw kind of guy, which is tricky to fit into silicon valley.
[12:17] exor674: Azz: ... hrm I wonder though, as this dates it backdated right then and there, BUT also sets the actual internal posted time to the entry post time too
[12:17] nopeas|work: Mmm, maybe as a CEO.
[12:17] Azz: nopeas: a serious coder, who is happiest with a screwy straightforward thing to bash in?
[12:17] * exor674 eyes
[12:17] tzikeh: Aubrey can't be a CEO - he'd hate it.

[12:18] tzikeh: phoenix - Playing Batman's arch nemesis The Riddler would reportedly be a "boyhood dream come true" for David Tennant.

[12:11] nopeas|work: Wait, wait, what?
[12:11] nopeas|work: This might actually happen?
[12:11] Skud|work: oh god. this is what happens when i get all fannishly enthused.
[12:11] Skud|work: i get plotbunnied.
[12:11] nopeas|work: Is there someone we can write letters to to encourage this?
[12:11] amaliedageek: oh, dear.
[12:11] amaliedageek: what with, skud?
[12:12] wychwood: Skud|work: is that still the thing rah infected you with?
[12:12] Skud|work: age of sail silicon valley AU
[12:12] tzikeh: and Kristen Bell as Harley http://angryweb.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/joshwmc-darkknight-art-04.jpg
[12:12] Skud|work: wych: related.
[12:12] amaliedageek: oh NO
[12:12] wychwood: which aos fandom? or, like, ALL OF THEM?
[12:12] Skud|work: well, probably all
[12:12] * wychwood tries to imagine maturin in silicon valley
[12:12] Azz: Skud: *fans self* Y HELO THAR
[12:12] *** kat_fw is now known as kat|food.
[12:13] Skud|work: maturin would be a usenet curmudgeon
[12:13] Skud|work: who never showers
[12:13] Skud|work: and they only keep him on staff because he's such a brilliant coder
[12:13] exor674: hrm
[12:13] exor674: how is next/prev on backdated entries handled?
[12:13] Skud|work: jack aubrey is a gamer
[12:13] * phoenix doesn't know, but she knows it's a bit fucky on LJ too
[12:13] tzikeh: Want. So. Badly. http://angryweb.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/batman_3_poster___harley_quinn_by_joshwmc.jpg
[12:14] *** bubba has signed off IRC (Ping timeout).
[12:14] Skud|work: midshipmen are interns
[12:14] nopeas|work: No, Aubrey would be some sort of football nut.
[12:14] tzikeh: Also Tennant has said in a print interview that he'd do anything to play the bad guy in a Batman film, quote "I want to be bad to Batman."
[12:14] Azz: Dre: Badly.
[12:14] nopeas|work: He's way too into physical stuff to be purely a gamer.
[12:14] Skud|work: nopeas: what? no!
[12:14] Skud|work: nopeas: he plays paintball.
[12:14] tzikeh: ...
[12:14] Azz: nopeas: LARP?
[12:14] Skud|work: and LARPs
[12:14] exor674: Azz: think bug 770 could be caused by *that*?
[12:14] Bugsy: Bug http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=770 enhancement, P-, -undecided-, nobody@dreamwidth.org, NEW, imported entries break chronological linking of prev/next links
[12:14] Azz: Dre, I think likely
[12:15] phoenix: "I want to be bad to Batman" ... my god, instant slash
[12:15] nopeas|work: Unless they've changed the rules of LARPing so you can actually slug people in the face, he'd never be satisfied with that.
[12:15] amaliedageek: pho: you mean your brain hadn't already gone there?
[12:15] *** spirit has joined #dw.
[12:15] tzikeh: phoenix - I know, right?!
[12:16] Azz: I did some testing at some point, and one of the BEST and easiest way to break shit is to post it inline, then redate it to the past.
[12:16] Azz: you get multiple flows of prev/next that way
[12:16] Azz: it's awesome.
[12:16] nopeas|work: Aubrey is happiest when he's got something straightforward and simple in front of him and he can take action on it, preferably physical action. He's the hit/eat/drink/screw kind of guy, which is tricky to fit into silicon valley.
[12:17] exor674: Azz: ... hrm I wonder though, as this dates it backdated right then and there, BUT also sets the actual internal posted time to the entry post time too
[12:17] nopeas|work: Mmm, maybe as a CEO.
[12:17] Azz: nopeas: a serious coder, who is happiest with a screwy straightforward thing to bash in?
[12:17] * exor674 eyes
[12:17] tzikeh: Aubrey can't be a CEO - he'd hate it.
[12:18] Skud|work: lots of ceos hate it
[12:18] Skud|work: which is why they sell out to other companies
[12:18] tzikeh: phoenix - Playing Batman's arch nemesis The Riddler would reportedly be a "boyhood dream come true" for David Tennant.
[12:18] nopeas|work: He wants social respectability and status, too.
[12:18] tzikeh: "I'd love to play the Riddler and be bad to Batman," the Doctor Who star told the Daily Express.
[12:18] Azz: OH GOD I am suddenly seeing Aubrey = Brad. >_<

[12:18] xb95: wow, I can't follow IRC today at all, what is going on
[12:18] Skud|work: azz: see.
[12:18] nopeas|work: And he's clearly okay with being a manager.
[12:18] * tzikeh imagines Aubrey taking the PC LOAD LETTER machine out back and smashing it to bits.
[12:19] nopeas|work: He could be the manager of a smaller group inside a corporation.
[12:19] Skud|work: ok now imagine the hornblower startup AU
[12:19] nopeas|work: Looking for promotion all the time but not always sure he wants it.
[12:19] tzikeh: ...

[12:19] Skud|work: new intern horatio joins the team at Justinian.com
[12:19] tzikeh: you hurt my brain.
[12:20] tzikeh: are we going into some silicon valley corporation war between Master&Commander people and Hornblower people?
[12:20] tzikeh: there you go - M&C Enterprises and HHorn Industries
[12:20] Skud|work: he really wants to get into the industry and he's dying to be hired by Indefatigable, Inc.
[12:21] tzikeh: omg
[12:21] Azz: oh god, now the Temeraire books are crossing with this AU and also my own original fic with dragons in. >_< WHY WHY WHY.
[12:21] Azz: it is in my head. i need to finish the original fic first.
[12:21] Skud|work: also, naval actions = lawsuits

[12:23] Azz: TheDivineGoat, is your timing coincidental or my fault?
[12:23] * gchick checks calendar, realizes it's friday
[12:23] kat|food: aviators would totally be disgruntled former employees that everyone respects in a grudging way but doesn't want to work with
[12:23] kat|food: er, grammar fail
[12:23] TheDivineGoat: Completely your fault. How could I not?

[12:24] Scott: coincidence? I THINK NOT SIR
[12:24] tzikeh: so why is it Good?
[12:24] Skud|work: tzikeh: because he DIED FOR YOUR SINS

[12:24] tzikeh: Well.
[12:25] Skud|work: heathen ;)
[12:25] tzikeh: Good thing I'm helping to spitball a slash-festival musical Age of Sail Hobbitized CGI copyright infringement.
[12:25] tzikeh: At least it wasn't in vain.

[12:27] Azz: has the manic but lacks the steady serious depths?
[12:27] tzikeh: Is it like the ShamWow?
[12:27] moose: i'm sorry mark but everytime i see xb95 i think hb88 :)
[12:27] TheDivineGoat: Not my first time, but my first time in a while.
[12:28] tzikeh: I don't know that Miles is manic, so much as a fast-talker and fast-thinker.
[12:28] tzikeh: He's almost a con man, in a chaotic good way.
[12:28] Skud|work: apart from the requirement to figure out the approximate number of officers in the royal navy ca. 1800, and the approximate number of interconnected nerds in the san francisco tech startup scene
[12:28] TheDivineGoat: But thank you anyway. ;-)
[12:28] tzikeh: wychwood - who would you pick?
