59:45 <Nothing\> bozhe moi
03:09 <gremlinz> hii
03:17 <Nothing\> ahoy
03:21 <Nothing\> how goes it?
04:19 <gremlinz> i goes good, how u goes?
05:03 <Nothing\> not too bad actually, in good spirits for a change
06:20 <Nothing\> having a play around with desmos, i've fallen in love with these graphing calculators
07:59 <Nothing\> so i don't recall seeing you here before, you new here? or just a lurker who's come out of the shadows?
09:14 <gremlinz> short time in this channel, long time on network
09:51 <Nothing\> ah, right on i've never actually been anywhere else on the network tbh
10:25 <Nothing\> well, it's a good channel, not very lively, but good when there are people about
10:31 <gremlinz> you have everthing right here :)
10:36 <Nothing\> exactly
12:14 <gremlinz> it's quite late here, i'll probably go horizontal soon
15:16 <Nothing\> heh i just got up bit more than an hour ago, it's 10:15am here in canada
15:27 <Nothing\> not far from toronto
19:39 <gremlinz> canada is on my list of places to visit
21:25 <Nothing\> there are some beautiful places further north, i used to live near a place called owen sound and as desolate as it was (town of about 1000 people) the scenery was absolutely gorgeous
22:13 <Nothing\> toronto is pretty cool too, i'd actually prefer to live in that whole golden horse shoe area as it's called around toronto, but cost of living is so high here
22:31 <Nothing\> you'd be looking at paying well over $1,000 for a crappy one bedroom apartment
22:47 <Nothing\> average cost of a house in toronto last i heard was $800k :o
23:07 <gremlinz> wow rather pricey
24:01 <Nothing\> yeah we had an upshoot in the housing market a few years ago, lots of foreign entities buying up properties so the government had to put restrictions on it
25:12 <Nothing\> it's been bad everywhere, lots of people wound up homeless cuz rent prices are so high and financial assistance doesn't even pay enough to cover rent, much less living expenses
25:48 <Nothing\> we had a tent city of homeless people pop up here a few months ago downtown and every so often you see homeless people set up tents in the local park
25:58 <gremlinz> yea very similiar where ever you go unfortunately
27:03 <gremlinz> australia has it's fair share of homeless
27:22 <Nothing\> a lot of indiginous people end up homeless there?
27:52 <gremlinz> of all backgrounds
28:20 <gremlinz> from*
29:17 <Nothing\> ah, i live near a native reserve so we tend to see a lot of poorer people from that area around here, it's really sad
29:56 <Nothing\> they come to the city cuz there's nothing on the reserve, just smoke shops and derelict houses
31:13 <gremlinz> yea and unfortunately it only get worse before if ever gets better
31:41 <Nothing\> that's true, but more often than not that worse situation leads to change
33:02 <Nothing\> they're just now starting to pay out reparations to the native people here because during the last century they rounded up all of the kids and forced them into "residential schools" where they were basically forced to assimilate into our culture and christianity, but of course there was tons of abuse in them too
34:00 <Nothing\> it's messed up cuz it was going on right up until the 90's, you don't usually think of that sorta thing happening so recently
34:46 <coppice_> Nothing\: I do, and I doubt that even now it has all stopped
35:26 <gremlinz> yea
36:35 <coppice_> Reparations is a terrible idea. It means the public pays for the pertetrator's sins, while the perpetrators walk away
36:39 <Nothing\> coppice_: probably just covered up better
37:49 <Nothing\> coppice_: yeah there was somebody on a youtube video i was watching talking about that sorta stuff the other day, how one person or group of people do something that benefits them while putting everybody else out who had nothing to do with it re: climate change
37:54 <Nothing\> i forget what the term was he used for it
38:19 <coppice_> or slavery reperations.
38:40 <gremlinz> night guys
38:49 <Nothing\> gremlinz: have a good one, man was nice meeting you
39:06 <Nothing\> coppice_: the problem is though, the people who were responsible are all dead now
39:44 <Nothing\> in some cases i suppose their descendants are just as bad, but you can't really generalize and make all families of such people pay reparations for it
40:02 <Nothing\> and imo punishment doesn't do much except cause more grief and unpleasantness
40:12 <Nothing\> like, legal action aside from financial
40:20 <coppice_> Nothing\: who are you going to give reparations to? All the Irish and Chinese who were treated worse than the black slaves?
40:52 <Nothing\> that's the problem, too there were a lot of people who were treated horribly, to differing degrees and in different ways perhaps, but still horribly treated
41:07 <Nothing\> how do you decide who gets reparations and who doesn't, where do you draw the line?
41:53 <Nothing\> it seems nowadays it's just the ones who get the most media attention who get reparations
44:19 <Nothing\> hey, are there any current conveyor ICs you know of off the top of your head?
44:25 <Nothing\> preferably CCII
44:54 <Nothing\> just been reading about them recently and i wouldn't mind having a play around with one
46:42 <Nothing\> thought i found one on maxim but it's just an ap note about CCIIs, still interesting though
47:28 <Nothing\> makes me think i should really look around maxim and other sites for ap notes, for some reason i mostly seem to get ones from TI when i search for them
58:10 <coppice_> I think TI is the right place. I've no experience with CCII, but I think the originator was National which is now TI
38:06 <Nothing\> ah good to know, thanks
38:14 <Nothing\> anyways i've gotta head out now
38:18 <Nothing\> take care, coppice_

14:36 * Halcyon noms on a bacon and egg roll
49:10 Join: blundar ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
17:43 <gremlinz> mm bacon eww egg
18:33 <T3sl4> i'll gladly save you from all the eggs in the world
18:57 <Halcyon> Not a fan of bum nuts I see gremlinz ?
20:01 <gremlinz> nope
20:24 <gremlinz> i eat egg products just not on their own unfortunately
20:33 <Halcyon> Fair enough.
20:39 <gremlinz> i blame my mother
20:46 <Halcyon> Did she ruin eggs for you?
20:54 <gremlinz> she went off eggs pregnant with me
21:05 <Halcyon> Riiight...
21:08 <gremlinz> haha
21:16 <Halcyon> Is that supposed to a "thing" /
21:17 <Halcyon> ?
21:37 <gremlinz> well it's the only thing i can put it down to
21:45 <Halcyon> Not, personal preference ? :P
21:48 <gremlinz> i've tried eating them i'll just spit em out
21:53 <gremlinz> aye
22:38 <gremlinz> i could never aquire the taste :/
22:38 <Halcyon> Gah, this is the annoying thing with not having rego stickers anymore. I don't know when my rego expires.
22:43 <gremlinz> so yea i blame mum
22:46 <Halcyon> Now I have to find my rego papers
23:00 <gremlinz> you don't get emails?
23:16 <Halcyon> Nah, my situation is different to most
23:28 <Halcyon> It doesn't even show up if I login to Service NSW
23:40 <gremlinz> can't you set up a direct debit thingie?
23:58 <Halcyon> Yes, but this is for my budget
24:05 <Halcyon> I need to know how much it is an when it's due
24:11 <Halcyon> So everything balances
24:26 <gremlinz> okay then..
24:51 <gremlinz> in that note, it's coffee time
24:55 <gremlinz> on*
25:05 <Halcyon> Found it :-)
40:31 <gremlinz> time to shoot tanks
40:37 <Halcyon> Enjoy
05:08 Quit: blundar ([email protected]) Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client
06:20 <Halcyon> Right, budget for the next 6 months is done
08:09 * Ampera sniffs Halcyon 
09:59 * Ampera sneezes at Halcyon 
10:07 <Halcyon> Hey Ampera :)
10:11 <Ampera> how do
10:15 <Halcyon> Not too bad, yourself?
10:31 <Ampera> we're getting snow this sunday/monday
10:33 <Ampera> 12-21 inches
10:40 * Halcyon gives Ampera 12 inches
10:48 <Halcyon> But seriously, nice :)
10:57 <Ampera> 30 - 53cm
11:07 <Ampera> nice?
11:09 <Ampera> what's nice about that?
11:27 <Halcyon> *shrug* I guess when we only get snow once or twice a year and even then it's mostly a dusting in comparison
11:31 <Ampera> fastest way to spot someone who doesn't deal with the fluffy white shit, when they say "nice" to 21 inches of snow
11:38 <Halcyon> Yup
12:04 <Ampera> My PBX seems to be more stable now
12:08 <Halcyon> Yay!
12:36 <Ampera> I need to write a systemd script for it, which I'm not looking forward to, because systemd is nowhere near as nice as FreeBSD's init system
12:40 <Ampera> at least from a user's perspective
12:56 <Halcyon> I need to work out why my FreeRADIUS server on FreeBSD randomly just stops
13:02 <Halcyon> It's annoying
13:11 <Ampera> I presume pfSense
13:14 <Halcyon> Yup
13:17 <Ampera> good luck
13:19 <Halcyon> It happens once every 1-2 months
14:07 <Ampera> I bought some salmon today
14:14 <Halcyon> Jew
14:27 <Ampera> mein fuhrer?
18:49 * Ampera throws an STG-44 at Halcyon 
19:01 * Halcyon runs away
19:10 <Ampera> that's what you get for calling me a Jew.
19:12 <Halcyon> I'll be back in about 30-45 minutes, need to go get stuff for dinner.
19:16 <Ampera> k
19:22 <Halcyon> Will you be around?
19:26 <Ampera> probably
19:37 <Halcyon> Kew
24:20 <gremlinz> l
25:09 * Ampera throws a goblin at gremlinz 
25:25 * gremlinz eats the goblin
25:33 <T3sl4> Ampera: how'djew know
25:43 <Ampera> how did I know what
25:54 <Ampera> oh
26:02 <Ampera> my monitor is genuinely far away from me
26:12 * Ampera moves it closer
27:46 <T3sl4> אמפרא
28:08 <T3sl4> haha that has the unicode RTL formatter in it and makes it look so bad in my client
28:44 <T3sl4> but er, that's my guess at transliterating "ampera" into jewih
28:46 <T3sl4> sh
28:51 <Ampera> you mean hebrew?
29:07 <Ampera> also what client do you have, it doesn't reply to CTCP VERSION's
29:12 <Ampera> iirc it's irssi, right?
29:12 <T3sl4> how does moses make his coffee
29:16 <T3sl4> hebrews it
29:20 <T3sl4> pidgin
29:28 <T3sl4> i just get Ampera: Received CTCP 'VERSION' (to T3sl4) from Ampera
29:47 <Ampera> send me VERSION
30:12 <T3sl4> oh i'm not registered
30:14 * T3sl4 slaps gremlinz
30:27 <Ampera> you need to /identify with your services password
30:45 <Ampera> because having a real auth system is for CHUMPS

42:07 <Ampera> T3sl4, Halcyon https://amperaa.net/cdn/Render3.mp4
42:18 <Ampera> Working on YouTube things and I animated myself an intro
42:22 <Ampera> working on new idents and intros and such
43:12 <T3sl4> cute
43:18 <T3sl4> you lost a game of snake tho
43:56 <Ampera> lol
44:27 <Ampera> I think I'm going to refactor it still.
45:24 <T3sl4> could use some shine, it's very flat still
45:44 <T3sl4> not sure which way to go with that, lens flare if you like to troll, but besides that hmm
47:26 <Halcyon> Haha I love it Ampera
47:41 <Ampera> Yeah I know I'm still working on it
47:48 <Ampera> I did the entire ident in GIMP doing frames one at a time
48:23 <T3sl4> yeah, that'll take a while, want to get it right before polishing it :)
48:42 <Ampera> Give me like 20 minutes and I'll have a new version
48:58 <T3sl4> probably fading in the checkerboard pattern while the next letter starts fading in would be cool
49:09 <T3sl4> that may or may not count as polish :P
49:28 <Ampera> Ah yes I should do progressive fading
49:32 <coppice_> does turtle wax count as polish?
49:34 <Ampera> https://prnt.sc/q4hdhz
51:02 <T3sl4> i wonder if the line should slide in with more subframes, or if that would completely violate the pixel theme
51:09 <coppice_> if you get the intro looking good...... well..... at least its a start
51:26 <Ampera> T3sl4, what subframes
51:43 <Ampera> this is being drawn pixel by pixel on a 112x63 canvas in GIMP
51:50 <Ampera> there's no such thing as half a pixel
52:18 <T3sl4> right
52:41 <T3sl4> well, you probably want to render to a higher resolution so it doesn't get blurred on output, the mp4 does that
53:17 <Ampera> I am
53:35 <Ampera> that mp4 is 1920x1080, all the images get nearest neighbor'd to that resolution before compilation
53:45 <T3sl4> ah
56:24 <coppice_> GIMP can be a PITA when you really want to work pixel by pixel. It just loves to blend them
56:41 <Ampera> ?
56:48 <T3sl4> it's a vector program, but also it's not
57:03 <Ampera> I use GIMP for anything and these make absolutely no sense
57:09 <Ampera> it doesn't blur anything unless you tell it to
57:13 <coppice_> and its vectors point towards insanity
32:29 <Ampera> I just did 24 frames to realize I forgot one pixel in all of them
44:24 * Halcyon paws at Ampera
44:30 <Ampera> Hi Halcyon
44:35 <Ampera> standby uploading a new version to my website
46:24 <Ampera> T3sl4, Halcyon https://amperaa.net/cdn/Render1.mp4
46:55 <Halcyon> Can you make the text all multicoloured and gay? :P
46:57 <Ampera> I plan to do a shine effect on the emblem.
47:08 <Ampera> No, GIMP would commit suicide.
47:11 <Halcyon> :P
47:32 <Ampera> I also intend to implement this by fading the black to alpha, and then the badge itself to alpha.
48:12 <coppice_> oooh, sexy seethrough stuff
48:24 <Ampera> yee
48:31 <Ampera> now to add a shine.
50:08 <coppice_> oooh, The Shining. That's a good one
55:06 <T3sl4> Ampera: cool
55:44 <T3sl4> if i may one more thing, the fadein seems weirdly paced, i wonder if it's gamma corrected?
56:06 <Ampera> Gamma corrected?
56:09 <T3sl4> i.e. if it's fading linearly from 0-255 that's wrong to the eye -- against a black background, anyways
57:00 <Ampera> It's fading (from I believe a rounded) 0->20->40->60->80->100 where 100 is 255 in 8bpc greyscale
57:19 <coppice_> human senses are more log than linear
57:20 <T3sl4> it would suffice to just set 2.2 gamma right there in GIMP, i think, for the B&W parts anyways
57:42 <Ampera> Ah i get what you mean now
57:49 <Ampera> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
57:56 <T3sl4> just do a gamma correction on all the frames
58:14 <T3sl4> or hm, for that matter, maybe ffmpeg can postprocess that or something
58:22 <T3sl4> that'd be damn easy, if another step to add :P
58:30 <Ampera> I have a video editor
58:36 <T3sl4> or that
58:43 <Ampera> gamma correct to what degree 2.2?
58:49 <T3sl4> somewhere around there
59:50 <Ampera> T3sl4, forgive my stupidity but on what scale is that
59:58 <T3sl4> dimensionless
00:14 <T3sl4> maybe it's out of 100 rather than 1 in other programs, no idea
00:26 <Ampera> Well to put it a better way, my editor has 0 to 1
00:32 <T3sl4> the formula is out = 256 * ((in / 256) ^ gamma)
00:33 <Ampera> so would that be .22?
00:44 <T3sl4> what is the default (do nothing) value?
00:49 <Ampera> 0
01:01 <T3sl4> what
01:21 <Ampera> look I set it to something, I'll render it, tell me if it fixed it
04:35 <Ampera> https://amperaa.net/cdn/Render2.mp4 T3sl4
05:19 <T3sl4> i cant tell from the animation
05:41 <Ampera> Well if you can't tell, why could anyone else
05:44 <T3sl4> can you... gamma a still photo and see how it looks? or, what's the prog? do they document the option?
05:52 <Ampera> DaVinci Resolve
07:38 <T3sl4> yeah i dont see anything about it
07:53 <Ampera> I mean if you can't tell it's bad by looking at it, I consider it good enough.
08:06 <Ampera> I always go by the golden rule of most people won't notice, and of those who do, most won't care.
09:57 <T3sl4> it looks like it's a lot worse, the first frame of checkerboard looks like it's 128ish
09:58 <EEVBlog> T3sl4! A friend for you to play with! His name is, T3sl4!
10:07 * T3sl4 slaps EEVBlog
10:14 <Ampera> of all the people to hit that payload
10:25 <T3sl4> ew i got a load in my face
10:34 <Ampera> so you're saying it was better before?
10:56 <Ampera> look, I'll fix it in gimp in a second, let me finish this shine and then I'll see what I can do about it
11:12 <T3sl4> if you play with a still image, you should see the darks get darker and the brights get brighter
11:43 <Ampera> the thing is I need to reimport all the frames back into gimp and make the corrections one by one
11:52 <Ampera> unless you can find how ffmpeg can do it for me
14:06 <T3sl4> yeah, it says gamma
14:20 <T3sl4> idunno what the syntax is, but put gamma=2.2 somewhere in there and i'll bet it'll do it
14:30 <T3sl4> uh, between the keyframes/times the text is fading in, ofc
14:37 <T3sl4> otherwise the blue will be all whited out
15:00 <Ampera> no I'll do it to all the images, not the video
15:23 <T3sl4> it'll be a eq filter i guess
16:12 <T3sl4> if you're doing it by script on frame images, that's fine too :P
39:00 <Ampera> T3sl4, https://amperaa.net/cdn/Render1.mp4
39:03 <Ampera> added shine, didn't fix gamma yet
41:54 <EEVBlog> New EEVBlog Tweet: Name the board game and win the Internet https://t.co/Yl7101Ily3
42:33 <Halcyon> Interesting
42:40 <Halcyon> What the hell game is that?
44:10 <T3sl4> :)
06:02 <EEVBlog> New EEVBlog Tweet: It looks easy 'til you try it! https://t.co/jSbqbVfWZR
32:40 <Halcyon> Gah, I need to get a sign saying "Tank water in use"
32:50 <Halcyon> Nosey people keep asking me when I'm watering my lawn
33:31 <Halcyon> The last thing I want is to talk to randoms in the street
33:35 <Ampera> Halcyon, explain for us people who live in places where A. we have water B. what water we do have isn't being spent on trying to keep everything from bursting into flames
34:09 <Halcyon> Ampera, we have both town and tank water. But most parts of Australia is in drought, so water restrictions apply.
34:34 <Halcyon> Those restrictions mean no sprinklers, no filling up pools and no hosing of hard surfaces. However you're exempt if you have tank water
35:10 <Halcyon> There are a few places with only a few months of drinkable water left in their dams/reservoirs
35:37 <Ampera> m9 we're going to have half a meter of fucking water this weekend
35:46 <Ampera> come the fuck over here and take it you upside downies
35:59 <Halcyon> Heh, it would be nice if it were that easy
36:27 <Halcyon> Storm season hasn't quite started yet, so we're only getting a few millimetres a month
36:39 <Halcyon> Even then, a lot of country areas won't get any rain
36:40 <Ampera> Doesn't Sydney now have a huge salt water filtration plant?
36:59 <Halcyon> Yes but I don't live in Sydney, so we don't get de-sal water
37:25 <Ampera> I thought Sydney was just another name for Australia
37:31 <Halcyon> And as far as I know, the de-sal plant is still in "standby"
38:03 <Ampera> Do they have some sort of contingency plan for when water in places runs out?
38:10 <Halcyon> Sorry, my mistake, they have turned it on
38:29 <T3sl4> mmm, coffee
38:33 <Halcyon> Yes, varying levels of water restrictions (right now we're in the first level) and the desal plant gets activated
38:39 <Halcyon> As for the country areas, *shrug*
38:45 <Halcyon> Farms are literally dying
39:19 <Halcyon> https://www.waternsw.com.au/supply/Greater-Sydney/greater-sydneys-dam-levels
40:35 <Ampera> Anyways I'm going to do a sleepy
40:37 <Ampera> good night Halcyon
40:45 <Halcyon> Goodnight friend
41:15 <T3sl4> gn Ampera
42:13 * T3sl4 hugs Halcyon
42:24 <Halcyon> Aww :)
42:25 <T3sl4> raining here, i'd send it down under if i could
42:45 <Halcyon> We're lucky where we are (near Sydney) but the farms are honestly suffering
42:56 <Halcyon> So much so farmers are having to shoot their cattle because they can't feed them
42:59 <Halcyon> It's quite sad
43:35 <T3sl4> i hear blood is excellent fertilizer
43:50 <Halcyon> Sure, but we're a farming country
44:09 <Halcyon> Blood won't water crops and feed the animals for beef, milk, eggs etc...
44:42 <Halcyon> Some farmers are even taking their own lives, that's how bad it has got
44:52 <Halcyon> It's a hot topic at the moment
44:56 <T3sl4> we've got that too, but for other reasons... :/
45:05 <Halcyon> ?
45:18 <T3sl4> china trade war
45:23 <Halcyon> Ahh yes
45:30 <T3sl4> so soy exports died
45:38 <Halcyon> Of only you could product cheap, nasty crap in the USA
45:55 <T3sl4> we do, it's called politics
46:42 <Halcyon> I don't see why we need to rely on China. I'm sure betweek AU, UK, NZ, US and parts of the EU, we can band together and make everything we need?
46:55 <Halcyon> But then again, international politics isn't my area of expertise.
46:59 <T3sl4> but yeah, farming in or near the desert sucks, fine when everything is stable but y'know
47:20 <T3sl4> my understanding is AU exports a shitton of minerals, you'd have to find a buyer for that
47:32 <Halcyon> Mm true
47:46 <Halcyon> Uranium as well, but we're stupid and don't currently use it ourselves
47:49 <Halcyon> S-M-R-T
48:20 <T3sl4> i'm sure US and EU would be glad to buy shipments of rare earths or other less common ores, at a modest markup due to the shipment required, but idunno how much of that the rest of the world can pick up at still-modest prices
49:00 <T3sl4> funny thing is, it would only take a few tonnes of uranium to solve your problem, the trouble is all the hardware to make use of it safely
49:09 <Halcyon> I guess it's like the school ground equivalent of "Don't talk to THEM, they are assholes" but on a much grander scale
49:29 <T3sl4> also that they're bullying millions
49:44 <T3sl4> not just the nerds
50:52 <Halcyon> Earth needs a new plague *sigh*
51:58 <T3sl4> nah, plague is too selective, and in the wrong direction
52:13 <Halcyon> Yeh but then everyone can claim "no blame"
52:26 <T3sl4> death and destruction only ever rewards the upper class
52:56 <Halcyon> I live 800 metres ASL, I wonder if that counts as "upper" class :P
04:53 <steve30> hi
05:21 * T3sl4 gives steve30 a coffee
05:27 <steve30> :p
05:29 <Halcyon> Morning Steve :)
05:54 <steve30> Halcyon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT0j8eKkOVU
07:22 <T3sl4> steve30, you fruit cup :P
10:32 <Halcyon> Oh wow
10:36 <Halcyon> He is uber ghey
11:00 <Halcyon> I see you're enjoying CUA
11:42 <steve30> I'm up to series 3
11:43 <Halcyon> You really need to download Vicious, I just rewatched it all, I forgot how funny it was
14:25 * steve30 downloads
15:38 <Halcyon> Similar soft of British humour, just more current and a little bit more crude
16:03 <Halcyon> The other thing I've been getting into is "Still Open All Hours"
16:07 <Halcyon> The young guy in it is cute
16:09 * T3sl4 drills it for oil
16:17 <T3sl4> crude, you say? :P
17:51 <Halcyon> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgdF2ghzLUE
18:03 <Halcyon> My favourite quote in this episode is at 0:40
18:33 <Halcyon> But watch the whole clip for context
19:08 <steve30> hehe
19:30 <Halcyon> And yes, I got your joke T3sl4
19:34 <Halcyon> You can't help yourself can you?
19:39 <T3sl4> USA! USA!
20:13 <Halcyon> Do you still guys do the whole circumcision thing over there?
20:25 <Halcyon> (Minus Jews and people with "issues")
20:58 <T3sl4> idunno about these days, but i was
21:06 <Halcyon> 80's ?
21:08 <T3sl4> think it's less common
21:09 <T3sl4> ye
21:13 <T3sl4> less common now
21:38 <Halcyon> I like all my bits
22:49 <steve30> I once umm, 'did' an english guy who was circumcised. I was curious as to why, but a google search revealed a forum topic where he discussed that he had medical problems.
26:09 <Halcyon> Yeh my best mate grew up with it too tight
26:18 <Halcyon> He got it done in his teens, poor guy
28:28 <T3sl4> ouch
34:29 <steve30> Don't know what happened to that guy
34:43 <Halcyon> What do you mean?
36:35 <steve30> He kinda disappeared off the internet and I didn't hear much from him afterwards
36:42 <Halcyon> Aw
36:47 <Halcyon> *cuddles Steve*
37:31 <steve30> Well, he didn't disappear completely, a Google search reveals that he did pursue a computer networking course.
37:37 * steve30 likes googling people :)
37:52 <Halcyon> Are you a stalker Steve? ;P
38:26 <steve30> He also seems to have an Xtube profile, but that doesn't look like its been touched since before I met him
38:27 <steve30> https://www.xtube.com/profile/auron5500-282901/about-me
38:48 <Halcyon> Eww he's a smoker
39:04 <Halcyon> Not my type
39:36 <steve30> when I met him he said he'd given up, and had big health benefits as a result
39:41 * steve30 doesn't approve of smoking
39:44 <Halcyon> Yeh funny that
39:58 <Halcyon> Fancy giving up smoking being good for your health :P
46:24 <steve30> So, a couple of months after I met xtube guy, I went on a date with this guy: https://cdn.datingnode.com/file/scale/_08ab1__302325/_800x800__1405167896.jpg
50:34 <T3sl4> looks like a douche :P
51:36 <steve30> He had a kitten :p
51:54 <T3sl4> that doesn't contradict my guess, but i can see the attraction :P
52:16 * T3sl4 scritches steve30 behind the ear
52:25 <steve30> :)
39:35 <steve30> I fancy some food
46:16 <T3sl4> fancy feast?
52:24 <steve30> I'm just doing some pasta
