03:50:00 <gee_man> who's awake?
03:51:00 <gee_man> aww c'arn
03:52:00 <gee_man> Snoopys_Gunship you still working nightshift?
03:52:00 <gee_man> bloody storm won't let me sleep
04:16:00 <electrohead> o.
04:16:00 <electrohead> err
04:16:00 <electrohead> o/
04:16:00 <electrohead> there we go
04:17:00 <gee_man> oh, sup
04:17:00 <gee_man> i had a medication reduction, was unstable for a few days, still a bit unstable
04:18:00 <gee_man> but i'm starting to remember the bigger picture now
04:18:00 <gee_man> remembering things as they were, without the static
04:20:00 <gee_man> still have memories i'm not sure are real
04:20:00 <gee_man> like starting earthquakes
04:20:00 <gee_man> happens accidentally locally if i get angry
04:21:00 <gee_man> when it's controlled, however
04:21:00 <gee_man> it's for a reason
04:23:00 <gee_man> in the notes, you'll find that there was a "thumping noise" coming from my bedroom in the places i've stayed at the night before a huge earthquake
04:23:00 <gee_man> it's like a ripple effect
04:23:00 <gee_man> but i think that goes part in parcel with schzophrenia
04:23:00 <gee_man> so it's probably not real
04:23:00 <gee_man> it'd be interesting to find the epicentre of such events
04:23:00 <gee_man> when it's local
04:24:00 <gee_man> one time i read in the newspaper the next day that "an unknown weapon" was used
04:25:00 <gee_man> i got angry and started laughing manically
04:25:00 <gee_man> the guards at the shop knew it was me
04:26:00 <gee_man> ok, maybe i'm not as stable as i thought i was
04:27:00 <gee_man> dunno if i need more or less of this medicationn, yet
04:28:00 <gee_man> i'm going to balance it out, see if i'm still stable in a week
04:28:00 <gee_man> then i'll make a decision
04:35:00 <gee_man> in l.a., they call it 'the big one'
04:35:00 <gee_man> the earthquake that'll sink the state
04:36:00 <gee_man> one of my kind will be the cause
04:36:00 <gee_man> don't know what for, yet, but there'll be a reason
04:39:00 <gee_man> every 200, 500, 1000 years, there's someone like me that lives their prime over the turn of the century
04:40:00 <gee_man> some say there's 12 of them
04:40:00 <gee_man> every time
04:40:00 <gee_man> i like to believe there's 13, but that's another story
04:41:00 <gee_man> i warned the nsa about covid while i was under the ether
04:42:00 <gee_man> i was tempted to write "can't rule out biological" but that's politics, as it turns out
04:43:00 <gee_man> i knew it at the time, too
04:43:00 <gee_man> which is why i hit backspace on that sentence
04:44:00 <gee_man> anyway, that's my WoT for the nite
04:45:00 <gee_man> terrorism ain't what it used to be, ain't what it is
04:47:00 <gee_man> simultaneousism doesn't necessearily = terrorism
04:52:00 <gee_man> i get angry about once every two years or so
04:52:00 <gee_man> and it usually fizzles out in the form of channeling it to something consrtructive
05:06:00 <electrohead> damn
05:06:00 <electrohead> also
05:06:00 <electrohead> lol
05:07:00 <gee_man> it's a WoT alright
05:07:00 <electrohead> :P
05:07:00 <electrohead> I'm just taking my lunch break, yay
05:07:00 <gee_man> i usually just keep rambling on about nothing in particular until conversation strikes
05:07:00 <electrohead> lol
05:07:00 <electrohead> well, I'm in the middle of working
05:07:00 <electrohead> so hence why I didn't say too much before, sorry about that
05:08:00 <gee_man> don't apologise, i'm used ito it
05:09:00 <gee_man> but my technique works in bringing out conversation in people
05:09:00 <electrohead> :p
05:09:00 <gee_man> i brought #idle to life as a frequent and lively channel singlehandedly with my technique of rambling
05:09:00 <gee_man> back in the day
05:13:00 <gee_man> i'm tryna make amends from when i lost my sanity
05:16:00 <gee_man> keeping distractions at bay
05:20:00 <gee_man> i watch too many movies and tv
05:20:00 <gee_man> keeps us all sedated i suppose
05:21:00 <gee_man> god is in the tv
05:24:00 <gee_man> "who is he" indeed
05:24:00 <gee_man> someone of whom can calculate what you're thinking
05:26:00 <gee_man> sometimes my attention gets focused on other things tho
05:26:00 <gee_man> things like tv are a heavy distraction
05:27:00 <gee_man> "does he know" indeed
05:29:00 <gee_man> usually we show up to modify reality to make sure humanity survives
05:30:00 <gee_man> but i'd expect another one like me in 200 years
05:30:00 <gee_man> technology and all
05:30:00 <gee_man> playing with planets
05:35:00 <gee_man> of course, time is relative
05:36:00 <gee_man> in this reality
05:37:00 <gee_man> here i was thinking that the vaccine caused puffy eyelids
05:37:00 <gee_man> but it was the virus itself that did
05:37:00 <gee_man> because of the breathing tubes of those that died
05:37:00 <gee_man> sometimes the visions aren't so accurate
05:38:00 <gee_man> sometimes it's insanely specific
05:39:00 <gee_man> the details are sometimes so specific but worded in such a way that it doesn't make sense until it happens
05:44:00 <gee_man> time tells so much, but sometimes we don't see it until it's too late
05:49:00 <gee_man> could easily purge this reality
05:49:00 <gee_man> and i'd move onto the next
05:50:00 <gee_man> taking a few vip's with me
05:50:00 <gee_man> but the problem is resources
05:50:00 <gee_man> this planet is abundant in so many varied resources
05:51:00 <gee_man> if my math is right, i've figured out a way to destroy a galaxy
05:52:00 <gee_man> but my math is probably wrong
05:53:00 <gee_man> got the idea from a psychiatric ward of all places
05:53:00 <gee_man> clean explosion/implosion
05:53:00 <gee_man> but it's fucking useless for 200 years
06:01:00 <gee_man> it's all relativity of pockets of time space
06:01:00 <gee_man> some of it, anyway
06:02:00 <gee_man> ok, maybe none of it has to do with that
06:03:00 <gee_man> but it does get interesting
06:03:00 <gee_man> when the time comes
06:05:00 <gee_man> interference patterns become more realistic when you think of the bigger picture
07:15:00 <***> Buffer Playback...
07:15:00 <gee_man> [06:24:13] you know that i could use somebody like you
07:15:00 <gee_man> [06:24:20] use somebody
07:15:00 <gee_man> [06:24:32] aspie entology
07:15:00 <gee_man> [06:26:46] what time do people get active 'round here?
07:15:00 <gee_man> [06:31:41] i've forgotten what i was talking about
07:15:00 <gee_man> [06:31:49] the details
07:15:00 <gee_man> [06:31:51] but hey
07:15:00 <gee_man> [06:31:53] time goes on
07:15:00 <gee_man> [06:32:38] will humanity?
07:15:00 <gee_man> [06:32:41] time will tell
07:15:00 <*buffextras> [06:34:42] [email protected] quit: Quit: mr. robot
07:15:00 <***> Playback Complete.
12:48:00 <gee_man> well i guess it's the weekend
12:57:00 <Creature> hi
12:57:00 <gee_man> missed that, accidentally closed
12:58:00 <Creature> Anyone on an android device ?
13:00:00 <gee_man> yeah, i've got a linux installation that mimics android
13:00:00 <gee_man> what's your question?
13:01:00 <Creature> eh
13:01:00 <Creature> ehh.... I'm stoned... forgot... lol
13:01:00 <electrohead> lmao
13:02:00 <electrohead> I have a heavily modified android phone
13:02:00 <electrohead> but, I don't use it to get online, really
13:02:00 <Creature> I just downloaded and am trying out AiCia for.android
13:03:00 <Creature> haven't been on irc in awhile
13:03:00 <Creature> Started off on mu Dreamcast back in '01
13:05:00 <gee_man> i started off in the early 90's with a program called "logo" when i designed the lockheed martin logo
13:05:00 <gee_man> didn't want my name on it, so the nsa made some other guys think they created it
13:12:00 <gee_man> so everything is filtered, huh
13:13:00 <gee_man> probably for good reason
13:13:00 <Bonny> what do you mean filtered?
13:13:00 <gee_man> a proxy
13:14:00 <Bonny> nope
13:14:00 <gee_man> i was talking about the dating app i'm using to find my ex girlfriend who put a hit out on me and temporarily removed it until she finds somewhere else "safe"
13:14:00 <gee_man> "this user did not see this message"
13:14:00 <Bonny> ahh ok
13:15:00 <gee_man> it's all in the latest update
13:16:00 <gee_man> speaking of android
13:16:00 <gee_man> i call vpn
13:16:00 <gee_man> a proxy
13:17:00 <gee_man> vpn's aren't exactly secure
13:19:00 <Bonny> I don't use them
13:19:00 <gee_man> me either, not voluntarily, anyway
13:19:00 <Bonny> k
13:21:00 <gee_man> i suppose i could become useful while i'm here
13:21:00 <Bonny> uhuh
13:22:00 <gee_man> was gonna get back with my ex gf and help her lose weight
13:23:00 <gee_man> she gave me an ultimatum, but she underestimated the effect of alcohol on me when i'm on certain medication
13:23:00 <gee_man> so i didn't make a coherent decision
13:24:00 <gee_man> the ultimatum was for me to be with her or die
13:24:00 <Bonny> you shouldn't drink then
13:24:00 <gee_man> you're right, i shouldn't
13:24:00 <Bonny> especially when you're on meds
13:24:00 <Bonny> you could kill yourself
13:24:00 <gee_man> live and learn, eh?
13:25:00 <Bonny> if you're lucky enuff to live
13:25:00 <gee_man> i had like 1 beer and was so wasted
13:25:00 <gee_man> 1 drink of port or whatever
13:26:00 <Bonny> brb
13:28:00 <Bonny> back
13:29:00 <gee_man> if i get back with her, i'll probably end up taking up smoking again
13:30:00 <Bonny> why?
13:30:00 <gee_man> cause she smokes
13:30:00 <Bonny> well maybe don't get back with her.. your health is more important
13:31:00 <gee_man> yeah, maybe
13:31:00 <Bonny> :)
13:32:00 <gee_man> i don't know what she wants
13:33:00 <Bonny> just be yourself.. if she doesn't like that then stiff.. she's not meant for you
13:33:00 <gee_man> ok
13:33:00 <Bonny> you're a good person..
13:34:00 <gee_man> i try to be
13:34:00 <Bonny> you deserve the best
13:34:00 <Bonny> and she doesn't sound like much of the best
13:34:00 <gee_man> the people she's working with consider themselves the best
13:34:00 <Bonny> pfft
13:35:00 <gee_man> that's what i thought at first
13:35:00 <gee_man> but that's the dark net for ya, can be traced
13:35:00 <Bonny> maybe that's why she dumped you.
13:35:00 <Bonny> cos she wants to be with those others that think of themselves as being the best
13:36:00 <Bonny> if she is like that then you're better off without her
13:36:00 <gee_man> then what am i going to do when she moves and puts the hit out on me again?
13:37:00 <Bonny> what kind of hit does she put on you?
13:37:00 <Bonny> and why?
13:37:00 <Bonny> she's the one that dumped you
13:37:00 <gee_man> i misunderstood her
13:37:00 <Bonny> whatever
13:37:00 <Bonny> she seems to have tickets on herself
13:38:00 <Bonny> how did you misunderstand her
13:38:00 <Bonny> ?
13:38:00 <Bonny> you were drunk
13:38:00 <gee_man> nah, wasn't drunk, but was a little high off second hand smoke
13:38:00 <Bonny> which was a bad move as it gives her the upper hand
13:38:00 <Bonny> ahh ok
13:39:00 <gee_man> i misunderstood her when she said "i don't mind if you don't mind"
13:39:00 <gee_man> she didn't want to have sex
13:39:00 <gee_man> i thought she did
13:39:00 <Bonny> oh ok
13:39:00 <Bonny> that's no reason to break up with someone
13:40:00 <gee_man> apparently it is
13:40:00 <Bonny> then she's not worth it
13:41:00 <gee_man> well, we did meet up after that a few times
13:41:00 <Bonny> ok
13:41:00 <gee_man> and maybe i was misinterpreting
13:41:00 <gee_man> every time she asked me if i wanted to have sex
13:41:00 <gee_man> but sometimes, apparently, she didn't
13:41:00 <Bonny> then why did she ask that question if she didn't want to have sex?
13:42:00 <Bonny> that doesn't make sense
13:42:00 <gee_man> i didn't know at the time
13:42:00 <Bonny> yeah
13:42:00 <Bonny> that's not our fault
13:42:00 <gee_man> and maybe my memory isn't accurate
13:43:00 <Bonny> if a guy asked me if I wanted to have sex. I would take that as he wants sex
13:43:00 <gee_man> i didn't understand the context of the situation
13:43:00 <Bonny> yeah
13:43:00 <Bonny> not your fault buddy..
13:43:00 <Bonny> she didn't make things clear for you
13:43:00 <Bonny> easy to misunderstand
13:44:00 <gee_man> she said i put her in hospital for six months after that because she went crazy about it
13:44:00 <gee_man> she was already crazy
13:44:00 <Bonny> what the fuck did you do to her? lol
13:45:00 <gee_man> i didn't think i harmed her
13:45:00 <gee_man> wasn't violent or anything
13:45:00 <Bonny> you don't seem the type to harm anyone
13:45:00 <gee_man> not on purpose
13:45:00 <Bonny> she sounds like the crazy one and trying to blame you for it
13:45:00 <Bonny> she was probably having an episode
13:46:00 <Bonny> and it's not your fault
13:46:00 <gee_man> i suppose the last time i saw her she did spike my drink
13:46:00 <Bonny> oh wow
13:46:00 <Bonny> she doesn't sound very nice
13:47:00 <gee_man> yeah
13:47:00 <Bonny> spiking your drink is a no no
13:47:00 <Bonny> what did she want by doing that?
13:47:00 <Bonny> like what was she trying to achieve?
13:47:00 <gee_man> don't know, i think she thought i would forget the conversation where she gave me the ultimatum
13:47:00 <Bonny> lol
13:48:00 <Bonny> sounds crazy
13:48:00 <Bonny> if she gave you an ultimatum then best to walk away
13:48:00 <gee_man> that's what i thought at the time
13:48:00 <Bonny> she sounds dangerous
13:48:00 <gee_man> i think a guy named scott put her up to it
13:48:00 <Bonny> ahhh ok
13:49:00 <gee_man> both of them used to hand out on austnet
13:49:00 <Bonny> ok
13:49:00 <gee_man> like i did
13:49:00 <gee_man> since the 90's
13:49:00 <Bonny> lots of people used to hang out here
13:49:00 <Bonny> yeah I've been on austnet since 1997
13:49:00 <Bonny> b4 then I was on ozorg since 1992
13:50:00 <gee_man> i think i was on here about 1997
13:50:00 <Bonny> cool
13:50:00 <gee_man> maybe '95
13:50:00 <gee_man> can't remember
13:50:00 <Bonny> nah austnet wasnt around 95 I don't think
13:50:00 <gee_man> was on drugs back then
13:50:00 <Bonny> sounds like 1997
13:50:00 <Bonny> I hope you don't still do drugs
13:51:00 <gee_man> nah, off drugs since early 2016
13:51:00 <Bonny> great stuff.. :)
13:51:00 <gee_man> quit smoking about 6 months ago
13:51:00 <Bonny> it's not an easy thing to do
13:51:00 <Bonny> great
13:51:00 <gee_man> off alcohol about a year
13:51:00 <Bonny> try and not start smoking again ok
13:51:00 <gee_man> ok
13:51:00 <Bonny> I used to be a drinker when I was younger
13:51:00 <Bonny> now I don't drink
13:52:00 <Bonny> and I used to smoke 50 ciggies a day
13:52:00 <Bonny> quit that in 2018
13:52:00 <Bonny> brb need a cuppa
13:52:00 <gee_man> heh, i quit caffeine, too
13:52:00 <gee_man> brb
13:55:00 <Bonny> wow I can't quit caffeine
13:55:00 <gee_man> yeah, it means no choocolate
13:56:00 <Bonny> oh no
13:56:00 <electrohead> if coffee didn't exist, I don't know how I'd perform my job within the IT and electronic fields
13:56:00 <Bonny> lol
13:56:00 <electrohead> heh
13:56:00 <Bonny> yeah
13:56:00 <electrohead> lmfao
13:56:00 <Bonny> ehehehehe
13:57:00 <gee_man> i suppose she did say that i put her in hospital for six months because of "a misunderstanding"
13:57:00 <gee_man> anyway
13:57:00 <Bonny> no one goes to hospital over a misunderstanding..
13:57:00 <electrohead> o.O
13:57:00 <Bonny> obviously she has a mental illness and something triggered it off
13:57:00 <Bonny> and it's not your fault
13:58:00 <Bonny> it's the mental illness fault
13:58:00 <gee_man> yeah, i should probably stay away from her
13:58:00 <Bonny> yup
13:58:00 <Bonny> you don't want to start smoking again and other stuff
13:58:00 <Bonny> you've done so well so far
14:00:00 <gee_man> i suspect when we first met in person at the psychiatric ward that she admitted herself when she heard on austnet that i was admitting myself to hospital
14:00:00 <Bonny> gawd
14:00:00 <gee_man> i remember being in my patient room, and was begging me to open the door for hours
14:01:00 <Bonny> you don't need that on your shoulders.. you have enuff on your own plate
14:01:00 <gee_man> i had to hit the nurse button to take her away from me
14:01:00 <Bonny> wow
14:01:00 <gee_man> we got together after that after we got out
14:02:00 <Bonny> ok
14:02:00 <Bonny> but it hasn't been smooth sailing tho
14:02:00 <gee_man> nope
14:02:00 <Bonny> better off being single than put up with that kind of hsit
14:02:00 <Bonny> shit*
14:02:00 <gee_man> yeah, i reckon i'll stay single for the foreseeable future
14:03:00 <Bonny> good
14:03:00 <Bonny> you'll find someone better..:)
14:03:00 <gee_man> dunno about that
14:03:00 <Bonny> I do
14:04:00 <Bonny> nothing could be worse than what you have now
14:04:00 <gee_man> spose
14:04:00 <Bonny> :)
14:05:00 <gee_man> thanks for the chat bonny :)
14:05:00 <Bonny> anytime.. :)
14:05:00 <gee_man> i think it was '98 when i first got the internet
14:05:00 <Bonny> ahh cool
14:06:00 <Bonny> I got my first modem in 1992
14:06:00 <Bonny> and my huge phone bills too
14:06:00 <Bonny> lo
14:06:00 <Bonny> lol
14:06:00 <gee_man> i used mirc to login to an irc server, and pretended i was a hacker
14:06:00 <gee_man> then my mouse started moving by itself
14:06:00 <gee_man> so i switched off the modem
14:06:00 <Bonny> of course
14:06:00 <gee_man> lol
14:06:00 <Bonny> that's scarey eh
14:07:00 <gee_man> i had a modem in the mid ninteies
14:07:00 <gee_man> only 0.024 baud
14:07:00 <gee_man> 2400 baud
14:07:00 <Bonny> yup
14:07:00 <gee_man> 0.024 kbps
14:08:00 <Bonny> I remember when I had a 9600 and took days to d/l msoffice lol
14:08:00 <gee_man> i remember when 33.6k modems were new, and it was considered the fastest
14:08:00 <Bonny> yup
14:08:00 <Bonny> then 56k
14:08:00 <Bonny> then cable
14:08:00 <Bonny> cable was the best
14:09:00 <Bonny> no huge phone bills
14:09:00 <gee_man> i wasted a lot of my youth on drugs, so i wasn't very productive with my time on BBSs
14:09:00 <Bonny> yes I remember the BBS too
14:10:00 <gee_man> i read a lot of hacking materials on some of them
14:10:00 <gee_man> i think one was a uni where anyone could upload anything
14:10:00 <Bonny> yeah
14:10:00 <gee_man> i remember being shocked at how there were several terabytes of storage free to upload in the 90's
14:11:00 <gee_man> must've been using a tape array
14:11:00 <Bonny> yeah
14:11:00 <Bonny> must have
14:16:00 <Bonny> I remember coming on irc using a dumb terminal..
14:16:00 <Bonny> no harddrive
14:17:00 <Bonny> or could have been BBS
14:17:00 <gee_man> might as well have been a chromebook
14:17:00 <Bonny> yeah
14:17:00 <Bonny> those were the days
14:17:00 <gee_man> floppy disks were so slow
14:18:00 <Bonny> yup
14:18:00 <gee_man> i remember getting an app to format disks to 2mb
14:18:00 <gee_man> instead of 1.44
14:18:00 <Bonny> the usb stick was a good invention
14:18:00 <Bonny> yeah
14:18:00 <gee_man> there were zip disks 100mb and 250mb, but i never got my hands on any
14:19:00 <Bonny> same
14:20:00 <gee_man> i wanted to get a cd burner in the 90's but couldn't afford one
14:20:00 <gee_man> i was going to pirate games and give them to my friends
14:21:00 <Bonny> yeah the good old cd burner
14:21:00 <gee_man> i made a BBS at one stage, but didn't get the phone line necessary for it
14:21:00 <Bonny> ahhh
14:21:00 <Bonny> I had my on irc network
14:21:00 <Bonny> own*
14:22:00 <gee_man> wow
14:22:00 <Bonny> yeah
14:22:00 <gee_man> i installed an app called 'remote access' to make the bbs
14:22:00 <Bonny> cool
14:22:00 <gee_man> then they released an update
14:22:00 <Bonny> yeah remote access comes standard with windows these days
14:22:00 <gee_man> and the update corrupted the whole thing
14:22:00 <Bonny> bugger
14:22:00 <gee_man> lost the menus and everything
14:23:00 <Bonny> :(
14:23:00 <gee_man> press escape twice for SAiN BBS
14:23:00 <Bonny> hehehe
14:23:00 <gee_man> tricky thing they did to combat piracy was that update to corrupt pirated copies of it
14:23:00 <Bonny> yeah
14:23:00 <gee_man> lol
14:24:00 <Bonny> lol
14:24:00 <Bonny> I now have windows 11 on my system
14:24:00 <gee_man> yeah but every major second version of windows sucks
14:24:00 <Bonny> well this one seems pretty good so far
14:24:00 <gee_man> i might wait until they patch it with a major revision
14:25:00 <Bonny> ok
14:26:00 <gee_man> i suspect they'll have hardware compatibility problems with amd processors for years to come
14:28:00 <gee_man> intel cpus can only compete with amd by running too hot
14:28:00 <Bonny> well I have 11th gen i7 on my pc
14:28:00 <gee_man> you'll be fine
14:28:00 <Bonny> yeah I got the latest
14:28:00 <Bonny> and I have 32 gig ram

14:28:00 <Bonny> this is what I have
14:29:00 <gee_man> i have no idea what i've got, not running mirc/script
14:29:00 <Bonny> so you're after 64gig ram?
14:29:00 <Bonny> what do you run?
14:29:00 <gee_man> kiwiirc
14:30:00 <Bonny> ahh cool
14:30:00 <Bonny> is that webbased?
14:30:00 <gee_man> i only have 16gb of ram at the moment
14:30:00 <Bonny> ok
14:30:00 <Bonny> 16 is good too
14:30:00 <gee_man> yeah web based
14:30:00 <Bonny> cool
14:30:00 <Bonny> there is a free irc client that you can use.. let me see if I can find the name of it
14:31:00 <Bonny> brb
14:31:00 <gee_man> was having all sorts of external usb hdd problems disconnecting and reconnecting suddenly
14:31:00 <gee_man> i'm fine with kiwiirc, don't worry about it
14:31:00 <gee_man> anyway i reinstalled windows and i don't want to plug in the hdd's again
14:32:00 <gee_man> i won't click any links, i've been tricked too many times before
14:34:00 <Bonny> www.adiirc.com
14:34:00 <Bonny> well that's a free irc client
14:34:00 <gee_man> i'm fine with kiwiirc but thanks
14:34:00 <Bonny> ok no worries
14:35:00 <gee_man> i deleted the dating app
14:36:00 <gee_man> not searching for her anymore
14:36:00 <Bonny> good
14:36:00 <gee_man> no need
14:36:00 <Bonny> the best revenge you can get is to improve yourself
14:36:00 <Bonny> nup
14:36:00 <gee_man> i don't want revenge
14:36:00 <Bonny> ok
14:37:00 <gee_man> i just wanted to help her
14:37:00 <Bonny> yes I understand
14:37:00 <Bonny> some people can't be helped
14:37:00 <gee_man> but i get what you mean, i gotta focus on myself
14:37:00 <Bonny> yup
14:37:00 <Bonny> that is exactly what I mean
14:38:00 <Bonny> look after number 1
14:38:00 <gee_man> heh
14:38:00 <Bonny> :)
14:38:00 <Bonny> the only way to help others is to help yourself first
14:38:00 <gee_man> yep
14:40:00 <Bonny> anyway.. shower time for me.. bbs
14:40:00 <gee_man> ok
14:40:00 <electrohead> gee_man: ever use linux before?
14:40:00 <gee_man> yeah running it at the moment electrohead
14:40:00 <Bonny> lol
14:41:00 <electrohead> what distro?
14:41:00 <gee_man> i'd rather not say for security reasons
14:42:00 <electrohead> o.O
14:42:00 <electrohead> dude..
14:42:00 <electrohead> knowing what linux distribution you use is not a security issue
14:42:00 <gee_man> i'm a paranoid schizophrenic, it comes with the territory
14:43:00 <electrohead> what fucking distro do you use, damn it?
14:43:00 <electrohead> lol
14:43:00 <electrohead> I'm asking so I can help you out
14:43:00 <gee_man> with what
14:43:00 <electrohead> I'm an IT and electronical engineer, if that helps. Bonny can verify that
14:43:00 <electrohead> well, for starters IRC clients
14:44:00 <gee_man> i'm fine with kiwiirc
14:44:00 <electrohead> and since you are paranoid in general, let alone about security, I can most definitely help you out with that as well, over time
14:44:00 <gee_man> cool, cool
14:45:00 <gee_man> i'm trying to create a to-do list at the moment
14:45:00 <electrohead> heh
14:45:00 <electrohead> my to-do list is fucking huge
14:45:00 <electrohead> I take one thing off, add five more
14:45:00 <electrohead> >.<
14:45:00 <electrohead> so, I use arch linux on everything
14:45:00 <electrohead> btw, it's not the distro that opens up security holes, it's outdated software and misconfigurations
14:45:00 <gee_man> no, i mean, javascript/html timers with textboxes that opens a specified link when it's done
14:45:00 <gee_man> like a youtube video
14:45:00 <electrohead> ahhh, I see
14:46:00 <gee_man> reward thing
14:46:00 <gee_man> was gonna use mp3's/m4a's but everyone streams everything nowadays
14:46:00 <gee_man> it's really for myself tho
14:46:00 <gee_man> i've forogtten how to program a lot of stuff
14:47:00 <gee_man> trying to refresh my skills
14:47:00 <electrohead> do you want to rip audio and video off of youtube?
14:48:00 <gee_man> nah, but i could do that if i wanted to
14:48:00 <gee_man> i don't even pirate stuff for the last few years
14:48:00 <gee_man> nothing illegal on my pc
14:49:00 <electrohead> you can rip all you want, that's not illegal
14:49:00 <gee_man> except with the possiblity of illegal text from a wikipedia dump
14:49:00 <electrohead> you're going a bit far
14:49:00 <electrohead> ;P
14:49:00 <electrohead> check this out - https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp
14:49:00 <gee_man> i'm not clicking any links, sorry
14:49:00 <electrohead> jesus fucking christ it's github
14:49:00 <gee_man> been tricked too many times
14:50:00 <gee_man> yep, my paranoia will annoy you, but it keeps me sane
14:50:00 <gee_man> i don't have a need to rip youtube videos
14:51:00 <electrohead> here's one more for you - if I *really* wanted to fuck with you, I can just get your IP address, thanks to, well.. my IRCop status on AustNet, then port scan away, find open services, exploit said services, and you wouldn't even know I was on your system(s). but if I did that, because of my job, I'd lose everything, and immediately go to jail. that's just stupid.
14:51:00 <gee_man> yeah i get it, but i'm not clicking any links, that's just how i roll
14:52:00 <electrohead> also, if you've been really tricked too many times in the past, then you are completely misinformed, and/or not educated enough to know what's shady, what's not, and how to check. and that's not saying that in a bad way. if you want to learn anything, or are unsure about something, just let me or Bonny know, cool?
14:53:00 <gee_man> yep, cool
14:53:00 <electrohead> I'm already trying to be on your side, and if you actually stick around in this channel for a while, you'll realize I'm not one of the bad guys out there in the world
14:53:00 <electrohead> :)
14:54:00 <gee_man> i get you
14:54:00 <gee_man> thanks dude
14:54:00 <electrohead> no problem \o/
14:54:00 <gee_man> do you design logical circuits?
14:55:00 <electrohead> I do make my own electronics from time to time, yes
14:55:00 <gee_man> i had some freeware windows program at one stage that i was going to try and design the 8086 processor with again from scratch
14:55:00 <electrohead> make my own PCBs here and there
14:55:00 <electrohead> oh?
14:56:00 <electrohead> fucking nice
14:56:00 <gee_man> but i had forgotten completely where to start
14:56:00 <electrohead> I almost PM'd you my website, but then realized you won't click that, heh
14:56:00 <gee_man> i designed a calculator at one stage
14:56:00 <gee_man> yeah, nah, don't worry about it, sorry no links
14:57:00 <electrohead> ever hear of terry davis?
14:57:00 <gee_man> the tricky thing with the calculator was a 'delayer' because it needed to cycle one line before another
14:57:00 <gee_man> nope
14:58:00 <electrohead> look into him, and you'll see why I asked, heh
14:58:00 <electrohead> so use a delay line?
14:58:00 <gee_man> yeah, because there was no clock
14:59:00 <gee_man> multiplication was tricky
14:59:00 <electrohead> no clock source or crystal at all?
14:59:00 <electrohead> o.O
14:59:00 <gee_man> yeah, but it was just virtual
14:59:00 <electrohead> did this have a display?
15:00:00 <gee_man> sorta, 2 88 digits
15:00:00 <gee_man> i think i tried expanding it to 4 digits but then ran out of memory
15:00:00 <electrohead> how did you step your calculations?
15:01:00 <gee_man> when a button was pressed, it was a chain reaction until it 'stopped' cycling, then the answer would show
15:02:00 <electrohead> ok
15:03:00 <gee_man> so it was pretty much instantaneous
15:04:00 <gee_man> sometimes one part of the circuit needed to execute before another (for multiplication, for instance) hence the delayer
15:04:00 <gee_man> two not gates basically
15:05:00 <Bonny> back
15:05:00 <electrohead> front
15:05:00 <electrohead> :p
15:05:00 <Bonny> smell nice and clean
15:05:00 <gee_man> ey bonny
15:05:00 <Bonny> hey

15:12:00 <electrohead> oh Bonny, my new VPN setup is working out lovely :D
15:12:00 <Bonny> great
15:13:00 <gee_man> bonny, i wasn't being entirely truthful with the context of what happened, but i'm not sure the memory is real, as i have a lot of memories that don't seem real
15:13:00 <Bonny> that's cool..
15:13:00 <Bonny> brb
15:14:00 <gee_man> the thing about my memory is, i'll remember it the worst way possible without it reflecting the truth
15:14:00 <Bonny> back
15:14:00 <gee_man> wb
15:14:00 <Bonny> ta
15:15:00 <Bonny> yeah.. tried to call someone but they didn't pick up
15:16:00 <gee_man> i should probably have breakfast
15:16:00 <Bonny> it's 3:16pm
15:16:00 <Bonny> lol
15:16:00 <gee_man> lol yeah
15:16:00 <Bonny> what time did you wake up?
15:16:00 <gee_man> i slept in 'til 12pm because of the storm
15:16:00 <Bonny> ahh ok
15:16:00 <Bonny> I've been up since 8am
15:16:00 <gee_man> stayed up late tryna contact my ex to try to offer help
15:16:00 <Bonny> my mother was shocked
15:17:00 <Bonny> cos usually when she calls me I'm sleeping lol
15:17:00 <gee_man> ideally i'd get up at 4:30am like i used to
15:17:00 <Bonny> that's early
15:18:00 <gee_man> i used to start exercise at 6am after drinking a couple of energy drinks and smoking a few cigarettes
15:18:00 <gee_man> then go to work
15:18:00 <electrohead> what do you do for work?
15:18:00 <gee_man> at the moment i'm an unemployed student
15:19:00 <electrohead> ahh, I see
15:19:00 <electrohead> :p
15:19:00 <gee_man> but the job was just a photocopy lackey
15:20:00 <gee_man> a guy there made me his enemy when he was talking over the divider while sitting down and i said "are you talking to me?" and he was like "yeah" but i couldn't understand him
15:20:00 <gee_man> he thought i was ignoring him
15:21:00 <gee_man> got bullied there by the rest of the team after that, even though i was on good terms with the boss
15:22:00 <gee_man> the disability employment agency was pressuring me to work more hours so they could get a kickback
15:22:00 <gee_man> so i got bullied by them, too
15:22:00 <gee_man> long story short, attempted suicide, woke up in hospital
15:24:00 <Bonny> that's sad..
15:24:00 <Bonny> are you ok now?
15:24:00 <gee_man> yeah, but my liver is f_cked from the overdose
15:24:00 <electrohead> ouch
15:24:00 <Bonny> that's no good
15:26:00 <gee_man> dunno what my blood test results are, but i find out if that's going to catch up with me in less than a couple weeks
15:28:00 <electrohead> out of no where, I got the urge to crack a beer open, but.. I have no beer
15:28:00 <electrohead> nooooo
15:29:00 <gee_man> pub with no beer
15:29:00 <gee_man> #australia pub with all the beer and nobody to drink it
15:33:00 <Bonny> hey snoops lol
15:34:00 <gee_man> `fun milo
15:34:00 <ChanOP> ahhh milo wot a good idea
15:34:00 <ChanOP> OK who wants one?????
15:34:00 <ChanOP> aren't ya glad you have a clever bot ;)
15:34:00 <gee_man> just milo for me
15:35:00 <ChanOP> Coffee for me
15:35:00 <Crispy> just an empty cup full of dreams for me thanks
15:35:00 <gee_man> heh, you sleep to dream, eh?
15:36:00 <electrohead> lol
15:36:00 <Crispy> if unicorns only live in dreams, i dont want to be awake
15:37:00 <gee_man> don't get me started about unicorns and 5th dimensional beings
15:37:00 <ChanOP> electroCoffeeHead
15:37:00 <eddie> lunch time..
15:38:00 <gee_man> i will say that men in black 3 was a good movie (not to be confused with men in black: international)
15:38:00 <Crispy> thats a good idea
15:38:00 <gee_man> oh yeah, food, i forgot to eat again
15:38:00 <gee_man> brb
15:38:00 <Crispy> all men in blacks are good documentaries, and the events happened in real time
15:41:00 <gee_man> i swear some script writer heard my story about me being a 5th dimensional being when i was in a psych ward once, and that's how mib3 came about
15:41:00 <Crispy> i think they put a memory recording device in your brain, so they could come up with something fresh, its true the microwave told me
15:42:00 <gee_man> lol
15:42:00 <gee_man> that's one way to extract information
15:43:00 <gee_man> we're all controlled by our local star, dunno how people got it in their head that other stars control our destiny
15:44:00 <gee_man> i guess that's where inreference comes into play with celebrities (foreign stars) fucking all our shit up with music, etc.
15:44:00 <Crispy> do you mean the sun? or do you mean my friend geoffrys son, because theres soething off about that little man, i swear he has powers
15:44:00 <gee_man> yeah, the sun
15:44:00 <gee_man> not the son
15:45:00 <Crispy> phew
15:45:00 <Crispy> cos if that lil fucker is controlling us we are doomed
15:45:00 <Crispy> i once saw him hold up a dog by the tail
15:46:00 <electrohead> my ass is getting to bed, goodnight/afternon o/
15:46:00 <gee_man> jeez that's cruel
15:46:00 <gee_man> nite dude
15:46:00 <Crispy> night Gman
15:46:00 <electrohead> o7
15:47:00 <gee_man> you got me mixed up with electrohead Crispy
15:47:00 <Crispy> oh i did, i thnk that memory recording device is messing with my short term memory
15:48:00 <gee_man> i was at a supported accommodation place once (not for long)
15:49:00 <gee_man> and the memories are fuzzy, but a nepalese guy (support worker) kept hitting me in the side of the head
15:49:00 <Crispy> this sounds terrible for real
15:49:00 <gee_man> and i said "if you do that again i'll" *bangs the left side of my head again*
15:50:00 <gee_man> then i said "...pout your home town"
15:50:00 <gee_man> then he started talking about his home town
15:50:00 <gee_man> then i retroactively caused an earthquake in nepal in the past while i was staying at a different supported acommodation place years ago
15:51:00 <gee_man> what i was saying was that i'd "wipe out your home town if you do that again"
15:52:00 <Crispy> oh wow
15:52:00 <gee_man> fuzzy kinda memory
15:52:00 <Crispy> i think the men in black are gonna come and stop you
15:52:00 <Crispy> you sound like the likable villian
15:52:00 <Crispy> bad things happened to you which makes it feel justified, but you also killed thousands of people
15:53:00 <gee_man> i guess so
15:53:00 <gee_man> i'm the villain in "no time to die"
15:53:00 <gee_man> dunno what they thought about how i like things clean
15:54:00 <gee_man> i guess i do like things clean, but live messily
15:55:00 <Crispy> i dont know how to react to that
15:57:00 <gee_man> as i said, a lot of fuzzy memories
15:57:00 <gee_man> of the future and past
15:58:00 <gee_man> i make changes to reality so that humanity survives
15:59:00 <gee_man> (and human-derived species)
15:59:00 <gee_man> that's my purpose
15:59:00 <Crispy> well thats unlucky for me

19:22:00 <gee_man> i've decided this dimension's too good to lose
19:23:00 <gee_man> moving onto the next while a democrat is president of the u.s.? maybe not the wisest move, but could do if necessary
19:23:00 <gee_man> don't really want to purge this dimension
19:24:00 <gee_man> ey Snoopys_Gunship

19:40:28 <gee_man> no, you're right, we're far off exploring space as salvation until we can get to a different star system
19:40:28 <gee_man> energy is a good resource to invest in
19:40:28 <doggyrat> we should think about our acting on earth,
