This channel is bad for me. Someone on the Confluence Dev channel said “Stable is not compiling”, and I was halfway into typing “Your mum is not compiling” before I realised it wasn’t the right place for it.

Jedi:

[SW:TOR patch] 1.3 is dropping on Tuesday

Forceclip:

I should call in sick is what you’re saying, Jedi?

Jirra:

Call in Sith?

Forceclip:

Good idea

Jirra:

“Sorry, can’t come in today, I feel the pull of the dark side”

Forceclip:

“My JIRA instance crashed” “YOU HAVE FAILED ME FOR THE LAST TIME, CUSTOMER”

dennilan:

Wikipedia seems to think Rubella is mainly only bad if you’re pregnant.

Jirra:

Is dennilan pregnant? Congratulations!

Carlfish:

Congratulations denni.

Carlfish:

When are you expecting?

dennilan:

Wrong question. You should be asking “what”.

Stish (Jirra):

My husband keeps sending me companion gifts

Raxor (Furgin):

You got married?

Stish:

Well, I guess fiance. He asked but I don't think we had a wedding. Unless I was logged out at the time.

Raxor:

So romantic. “Sorry I missed the wedding, I was logged out.”

Raxor:

I WANT THAT ON A TSHIRT.

So MCB had the decency to let me know that my IAN all-hands file name IANALHANDS was not appropriate for a title of a presentation.

* Carlfish

wonders if he should add the possible rise of Cthulhu to this spreadsheet of potential company risks.

Carlfish:

Likely business impact: MADNESS! MADNESS AND TENTACLES!

dennilan:

Carlfish: remember, the universe tends towards maximum irony.

Carlfish:

So whatever I list in this spreadsheet is more likely to happen? Uh oh.

dennilan:

No, anything you list in the spreadsheet which is not subsequently *planned for* is likely to happen

dennilan:

Awesome if you *want* Cthulhu to awaken from his watery dreams.

Carlfish:

Maybe I do.

Carlfish:

Muahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahaha

virtualwolf:

Ph’nglui mglw’nafh C’thulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn!

Carlfish:

Bless you.

The pathos is overwhelming.

furgin:

Do you say make sure something is ON the path, or IN the path?

Meliae:

It depends on the context.

furgin:

Make sure java and javac are on the path.

furgin:

Make sure java and javac are in the path.

jedi:

Make sure java and javac are pathy.

Jirra:

jedi: I think the word is “pathetic”.

<p>Am I a morally deficient person for thinking cannibalism isn’t a bad thing if the person died of unrelated causes?</p> <p>I mean, they were developers, I was going to kill them anyway.</p>
