| 18:07 | | * abudhabi has to resurrect Windows that has died. |
| 18:09 | <@abudhabi> | I think the data is mostly fine - given that data recovery software works, and the disk doesn't give any indication of death - but the type got converted from NTFS to RAW, which throws the automated Windows recovery stuff for a loop. |
| 18:40 | <@abudhabi> | Correction. The disk is alive, but it seems only like half the data survived. |
| 18:40 | <@abudhabi> | Welp. Guess I gotta just dump the contents, and start over. |
| 18:55 | <@abudhabi> | In hindsight, it was a great decision to have moved pretty much all my personal data over to the other drive. I was looking to have enough room for all the development stuff I needed to install, but I lucked out. |
| 19:16 | <&jerith> | Quick! I need a name for a completely hypothetical tech blog that I might be starting at some point. |
| 19:17 | <@abudhabi> | ihatecomputers.blogspot.com |
| 19:19 | <&jerith> | Accurate, but the point of this blog is to channel vague rants into something constructive and useful and not at all shouty. |
| 19:20 | <@Tamber> | "The Hardest Problem"? |
| 19:20 | <@ErikMesoy> | "Computer Science Fiction" ? |
| 19:20 | <&jerith> | Hrm. "The Hardest Problem" has promise. |
| 19:21 | <&jerith> | "Computer Science Fiction" is catchy, but I intend to mostly stay away from fiction. |
| 19:22 | <@ErikMesoy> | Works For Me. |
| 19:22 | <@ErikMesoy> | the bane of so many testers, on both ends |
| 19:24 | <&jerith> | Works For You As Well would be more in line with the kind of content I'm thinking about. |
| 19:25 | <&jerith> | But also a bit too narrowly focused. |
| 19:27 | <@ErikMesoy> | "Now that I've rebooted" ? |
| 19:31 | <&jerith> | I think I'm after something a little more... philosophical? |
| 19:32 | <~Vornicus> | Delicious Curry |
| 19:32 | <~Vornicus> | recipes *and* hard comp.sci |
| 19:32 | <&jerith> | I don't think I know enough Haskell to justify that.~ |
| 19:32 | <&jerith> | Also, I don't really cook. |
| 19:32 | <~Vornicus> | heh |
| 19:33 | <@ErikMesoy> | Hmmm. Which do you lean towards of the following? It's not magic, it shouldn't be magic, maybe it is magic, technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced, technology indistinguishable from magic is insufficiently hackable. Some variation on one of those might be appropriate to your opinions. |
| 19:33 | <@ErikMesoy> | I have a long philosophical exposition on the topic I'll verbalize some day |
| 19:33 | <~Vornicus> | gonna make me a blog called I Goddamn Hate Geometry and all it will be about is geometry. |
| 19:34 | <&jerith> | Distinguishable From Magic could work. |
| 19:34 | <@ErikMesoy> | Perhaps with a thematic adverb such as "Narrowly", "Often" or "Usually" in front? |
| 19:35 | <&jerith> | Shorter is better. |
| 19:37 | <&jerith> | I don't mean to sound dismissive, btw. These are all good ideas and I appreciate them. :-) |
| 19:37 | <~Vornicus> | I would be amazed if Distinguishable From Magic isn't taken tbh but I like it |
| 19:38 | <@ErikMesoy> | Shorter things being taken is what I was also thinking when I suggested an adjective. But it's not like blog names have to be unique. |
| 19:48 | <@Alek> | Gehm's Corollary. |
| 19:54 | <&jerith> | Nice, but a little too obscure. |
| 20:02 | <@Alek> | so have the definition as the subtitle. |
| 20:02 | <@Alek> | let people learn. |
| 20:02 | <&jerith> | A little too expository. :-P |
| 20:06 | <@Alek> | thoughtware? |
| 20:07 | <@Alek> | hardware is what software runs on, meatware is what operates it, vaporware is empty promises, but is there a term for concepts and ideas? from lessons to white papers? |
| 20:12 | <&jerith> | Two of my friends have blogs that I very seldom read, but that I like the style of. |
| 20:13 | <&jerith> | One is called Shattered Crystalline Matrix, the other is Decyphering Glyph. |
| 20:13 | <&jerith> | (They second is Glyph's blog, so it has his name in it.) |
| 20:14 | <&jerith> | The name isn't in the domain or URL or anything, just the top of the page. |
| 20:16 | <&jerith> | Anyway, that's the sort of thing I'm aiming for. |
| 20:16 | <~Vornicus> | Indistinguishable From Jerith |
| 20:17 | <&jerith> | That is true for exactly one person in the world, and he cheats.~ |
| 20:17 | <~Vornicus> | Distinguishable From Jareth |
| 20:18 | <&jerith> | Even my brother has been distinguishable from me for years. |
| 20:28 | <&jerith> | I might need to pay someone to build a suitable theme for me, but I don't think I know many people I'd trust to do that. |
| 20:33 | <~Vornicus> | I've done wp theming. dunno much about the others |
| 20:33 | <&jerith> | It's all HTML and CSS and templates. |
| 20:34 | <~Vornicus> | this is true in general with you |
| 20:34 | <~Vornicus> | er |
| 20:34 | <~Vornicus> | I got my speaking into IRC without a microphone |
| 20:34 | <~Vornicus> | This is true in general but the specifics are often annoying (tm) |
| 20:39 | <&jerith> | Yeah. |
| 20:39 | <&jerith> | Enough that I am unwilling to do it myself. |
