00:34:41 <nsh> phenny, tell sbp that, via nslate, i was looking at http://inamidst.com/shaks/dream/quarto#p01 and wondered if there was a name for this kind of ornate illustration. after some asking around, was informed it's called a "printer's device" and lead to this article: http://inamidst.com/shaks/dream/quarto#p01
00:34:42 <phenny> nsh: I'll pass that on when sbp is around.
00:34:53 <nsh> phenny, tell sbp you probably knew this already, but i thought it was cool
00:34:54 <phenny> nsh: I'll pass that on when sbp is around.
00:47:01 <clsn> nsh: why do you have the same URL twice in that msg?
00:47:15 <nsh> oh
00:47:16 <nsh> stupid
00:47:29 <nsh> phenny, tell sbp second url should be this: http://www.chemheritage.org/library/featured_books/printersdevices/index.html
00:47:29 <phenny> nsh: I'll pass that on when sbp is around.
00:47:41 <nsh> really good article clsn; you'd like it i think
00:48:14 <clsn> K. That's why I asked, because I followed the links, snooping on your conversation as usual.
00:49:27 <nsh> wouldn't have it any other way
00:49:28 <nsh> thanks
00:49:33 <clsn> Ah, right, printers marks. I recognized Froben's; there was talk of it in the book I read on printing the talmud. Which is an awesome book.
00:50:02 <nsh> aye, you mentioned it
00:50:09 <nsh> praisingly
00:50:19 * nsh wonders why praisingly isn't in /dict/words
00:50:22 <nsh> strange
00:50:29 <nsh> or whatever xchat is using for spellcheck
00:52:45 <clsn> Looks like a limited preview of it at http://books.google.com/books?id=G_uEW6sVCjMC&printsec=frontcover&dq=printing+the+talmud
00:53:43 <nsh> aye, started reading a section when last we conversed
00:55:13 <clsn> I'm not 100% sure it's the same book; searching "printing the talmud" on google books showed *two* books of that title by the same author, the other lacking any preview.

01:14:09 <MoiraA> me too
01:14:35 <deltab> [bjoern]: there are some entroy testing tools
01:14:43 <deltab> ^entropy
01:14:55 <deltab> or you can just try gzip on the lowest setting
01:58:28 <[bjoern]> Yeah I was more looking for the "apt-get install whatever ; whatever file ; works" kind of thing...

02:39:22 <[bjoern]> lacks evidence that it works well for my purposes
02:39:48 <[bjoern]> But I might try it anyway
02:49:02 <clsn> Maybe trying it will provide the evidence.
02:49:15 <[bjoern]> yeah but that requires work

13:16:26 <[bjoern]> no news on the blog as of some hours ago
13:18:15 <sbp> what do you think is up?
13:18:18 <sbp> see the day review too
13:18:22 <sbp> they... don't look very healthy
13:18:35 <[bjoern]> agreed
13:18:51 <sbp> we haven't seen her feeding them
13:18:56 <sbp> and yet it does appear that they've hatched
13:19:00 <sbp> so I wonder if they hatched...
13:19:04 <sbp> ...and she forgot to feed them
13:23:57 <[bjoern]> check www-archive for mild entertainment btw
13:33:28 <sbp> that is a long email

13:59:13 <sbp> as if it wasn't a photo of two lego men
13:59:19 <nslater> :-)
14:00:04 <[bjoern]> nslater posted a good link!
14:00:45 <Jibbler2> spot the person without a proper flash trigger
14:00:51 <jsled> Well, it's a DO of <http://www.flickr.com/groups/activeassignment/> … «DO Post "What it took" to get the photograph in the description area below the photo»
14:01:17 <jsled> But, I wonder why that technique vs. normal lighting.
14:02:29 <nslater> yeah, seems odd
14:02:37 realist has quit ("Changing server")
14:02:43 <Jibbler2> presumably because they didn't have a way of triggering the camera remotely...
14:02:50 <nslater> "within which" is an odd way to.. ah, okay
14:02:50 <Jibbler2> s/camera/flash/ even
14:03:03 <nslater> thought he was aluding to a back curtain flash or something odd
14:03:13 <nslater> which would be totally unneccessary for two static lego men
14:03:24 <nslater> but more likely he just had to press a button himself, lol
14:03:28 <jsled> Also, there's totally a pube on the modern cop's hat, which might be why he's sad.

14:05:01 <nslater> and his choice of font makes my eyes bleed
14:05:25 <nslater> argh, can't beleive you've made me think so much about this stupid photo
14:06:09 <Jibbler2> anyway, 1 entire second for the exposure?!

20:23:57 <Arnia> Who here wants the rules to the Eurovision Drinking Game?
20:24:38 <jessica> From what I'm seeing (my connexion is a bit balky), the Eurovision Drinking Game is, "Turn it on, find a bottle of grain alcohol, have at it and good luck."
20:25:56 <Arnia> Everyone gets a country (in the final) out of a hat. You do 2 dig every time your country is mentioned. You continuously drink whilst your country is singing. Every time a sarcastic or camp comment is made by a presenter, do 2 dig. Dirty pint if your country gets nil point and a yard if your country wins.
20:26:18 <[bjoern]> oooh my god the ear torture man from the beginning again
20:26:49 <jessica> Dirty pint? Is that like our Irish Car Bomb?
20:27:09 <jessica> (Take a shot glass full of alcohol, preferably on fire, drop it into a pint, and down the entire thing with one swig?)
20:27:16 <clsn> jessica: Aw, eurovision is classic. Even I've heard of it since my all-American childhood. The songs all have the same chirpiness, they're an excellent source of cheese.
20:27:49 <jessica> clsn: My all-American childhood was different from yours in one key way.
20:28:29 <clsn> Way, way more than just one way.
20:28:47 <jessica> Well, one of them was that I was being raised with an eye to the novitiate.
20:29:01 <jessica> I was meant to go to Europe, sure, but to go to Lourdes. :P
20:29:21 <clsn> The controversies and stuff around Eurovision are usually more interesting than the songs. Though I say this as someone who does not follow either carefully.
20:29:35 * jessica was a third daughter, so.
20:30:03 <clsn> Ah, whereas I, though in an Orthodox Jewish family, was not in one SO Orthodox Jewish that they wouldn't let us listen to Rock & Roll and other sinful music.
20:30:26 <sbp> 21:28 <sbp> Norton says the Ukraine woman mortgaged her house to build the set

20:31:11 <Arnia> Yes, that is the S&M hamster wheel
20:31:13 <Arnia> And the camera man who liked crotch shots
20:31:21 * jessica always has an interesting experience with orthodox Jewish women.

21:06:44 <Arnia> I am glad the Ukraine and Moldavia got through
21:07:59 * jessica is being Informed by a friend.
21:08:11 <jessica> "You just need to round up every Eurovision stereotype, and drink when it happens."
21:08:45 <jessica> "Greece getting douze pwahn from Cyprus? Drink. Spain doing a boy band pop song? Drink. Everyone hating the U.K. entry except the Irish? Finish the bottle."

21:13:11 <jessica> okay, this is ridiculous. A friend from Oxbridge is saying, "We never say lift. We say elevator."
21:13:43 <jessica> I was trying to explain to him to maintain his British dialect and lilt enough to get laid during his programme in the U.S. I haven't ever met a Briton that says "elevator."
21:13:47 <jessica> Is he correct or am I?
21:30:38 <kpreid> .gc elevateur
21:30:39 <phenny> elevateur: 170,000
21:31:09 <nsh> we say lift, jessica
21:31:19 <nsh> also, britain has lots of dialects :-)
21:31:37 <nsh> i suppose you can take a course-grained average
21:31:40 <nsh> it's probably semantic
21:31:56 <jessica> right, but maintaining as much English dialect as possible is important if he'd like to dip his wick more easily.
21:32:16 <nsh> mmm
21:32:28 <nsh> i imagined i'd have the converse problem in most US regions
21:32:47 <nsh> i wouldn't want to dip my wick after hearing most speaking styles
21:32:48 <nsh> :-)
21:33:07 * nsh can't even watch frat-party-related porn any more because i despair too much
21:33:13 <nsh> s/i/he/
21:39:29 <deltab> jessica: we usually also say fridge instead of refrigerator
21:39:48 <deltab> one syllable instead of several
21:41:48 <jessica> as do we, but that may be local dialect variation.
21:41:57 <jessica> Americans say we sound English, Brits say we sound American.
21:42:18 <jessica> (Even before Natalie Portman badly bungled her British accent in V for Vendetta, at which point we started getting compared to her.)
