-{Citizen}- Shykiran: Oh gods.. I just won a 2 foot easter egg in a raffle at
my local coffee shop..
-{Citizen}- Rosuav lets out a resounding cheer.
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: its got a wicker basket its so f**king big
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: eats his cadburies creme egg as a starter
-{Citizen}- Akhafta: Is it just a shell or pure chocolate?
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Err... Ak... if that's solid chocolate, it'd weigh a couple
of tonnes.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav grins
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: Something light.. chocolate mousse with chocolate
shavings
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: How are you going to break into that egg?
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Got a hard disk platter handy?
-{Citizen}- Akhafta: Might lean it on it's side and drill a hole into it
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: I think I am gonna make a hole.. climb in and eat from
the inside out
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Stand it on its end, and push a CD-ROM vertically into the
top of it. It should divide it fairly cleanly.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: (Tip: Dust off the CD first. :) )
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: Ros, does this geekyness come with practise?
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: It's called "necessity is the mother of invention, and
improvisation is the father".
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: CD rom indeed.. we all know that I am going to attach a
USB fan to my pc, remove the safety cage and use that to segment
the egg.. CD indeed
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: In other words, I eat a lot of chocolate while surrounded
by geeky toys, and thus find out what the best combinations of both
are
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Bah, USB fans are kid's stuff. No. If you want to go
removing safety cages, keep the CD idea. Do it while you burn!
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: or maybe I can attach a knife to a small usb robot, and
write a LOGO program to control its movements for the perfectly
equal size of each piece
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: OR, place two PC's face to face with the egg between, and
write a batch program to send a singnal over the network to open
BOTH trays at once and crack the egg?
-{Citizen}- Rosuav lets out a resounding cheer.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: That would do spectacularly.
-{Citizen}- Shykiran goes for the ultimate techie breaking.. and drops a small
HP7700 workstation in the egg from 3 foot above.. chocolate for ALL
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Ooh, this isn't just about breaking an egg. This is about
Chocolate Distribution Systems!
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: CDS is a highly advanced form of technology I have only
touched on
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Touched very firmly, but only touched.
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: I think its an overrated technoolgoy and prefer the
IDSMFC approach
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: I DONT SHARE MY FUCKING CHOCOLATE
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Ahh yes, the SCO wars
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Chocware Patents.
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: of course I could upgrade to patch 2 - UTT revsion
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: UNLESS TWOFOOT THICK
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: You know, if this falls on my foot, I am in a plaster
cast..
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: I am a firm believer in free chocolate - "free as in
speech, not free as in beer" - and I'm sure that Sourceforge would
have some open source chocolate that you could probably integrate
into your current egg.
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: sounds like a plan.. of course, I could make it
'shareware' ie, I give you chocolate, but within 30 days you must
promise to give me some cookies in return for eating my chocolate
which I just shared with you
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: And if I don't give you cookies, your chocolate will stop
digesting in my stomach and pop up a burp saying, "Send cookies!"
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: that would be a neat trick, but a bit invasive...
installing burpware is frowned upon
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: of course, there would be no hidden easter eggs in this
chocolate..
-{Citizen}- Levastire: how can I uninstall your collective dorkware off this
channel
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: help tune
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: tune citizen works well.. sorry, I was trying to talk
Rosspeech.. and its hard to stop
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: help me.. please..
-{Citizen}- Levastire: "dorkware." I like that term
-{Citizen}- Rosuav welcomes Shykiran to the club
-{Citizen}- Levastire: don't get too attached to talking to Rosuav. he logs
everything, then once in a while displays such in a really weird,
quasi-stalkerish moment
-{Citizen}- Shykiran laughs
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: You mean like this?
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: 20070214: [court] Levastire hugs Rosuav
-{Citizen}- Levastire: yeah, that's a great example
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Karahd [court] melee pae Hey baby, you feeling lonely
tonight?
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: Levastire, that destroys your reputation.. sue him
-{Citizen}- Levastire: hardly. I did it for gear
-{Citizen}- Levastire: and for gear, I'd do it again
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: You never know when Dal is watching!!!!111one
-{Citizen}- Levastire: no, -you- never know when Dal is watching. -I- have a
pretty good idea
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Au contraire, Levastire, there's such a thing as mudmailing
logs.
-{Citizen}- Levastire: logs of my being mean to you? do you really think
that's such an infrequent occurrance so as to be really needing
record?
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: No, but logs of you being nice would be.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: A log of Levastire being polite would probably arrive in
Dal's inbox 42 times.
-{Citizen}- Shykiran dangles a totem and holds out his arms to Levastire
wondering how far the love goes
-{Citizen}- Shykiran grins
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Shy, it has to be something that he can't get through IC
means. He already has half the MUD at his beck and call, it takes
Dalaena promising him a piece of armor to get him to give up
sarcasm for a specified duration.
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: Something he cant get through IC means huh?
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Yeah. A piece of armor for a unique slot.
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: I do remember that Dal / Armor thing.. we all waited for
the time period to end.. waiting for the great climatic ourburst of
filth.. only to have him say "I dont feel like being nasty" or
something like that.. I am sure you have the log Ros
