The s/this/that/; is perl code. Don't mind me.

Do your TOP SECRET PLANS involve [CONTROVERSIAL MOD EDIT]?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:24 (twenty years ago)

Hi, Jesse! I'm Kenan!

are those "[controversial mod edit]" things for real? or is that a punchline I can throw into my daily conversation here?

― Sweet Tater (kelstarry), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:25 (twenty years ago)

PERL?

UGH.

Jenny and I worked together in NC. We first met because she was the towel girl at the bath house and she found me mainlining crystal. I couldn't get a vein and I was just about to inject into my member when she stopped me and helped me shoot into my toe. We shared the needle of course and now we have a great GPA: and A, B and C on all our hep tests!

I love the perl. LOVE IT.

I am pretty sure the [controversial mod edits] are purely for gits and shiggles.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:29 (twenty years ago)

Jesse, I didn't get Chris's perl code jokes.

(even though I work in IT and he's an itinerant poet)

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:29 (twenty years ago)

My TOP secret plans involve tops and secrets.

― unclejessjess (unclejessjess), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:30 (twenty years ago)

So I guess I'm involved after all.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:31 (twenty years ago)

ITINERANT POET

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:31 (twenty years ago)

BRB, going to shave shit and shower.

― unclejessjess (unclejessjess), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:31 (twenty years ago)

pwned

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:32 (twenty years ago)

Jordan/Chris, have you ever used Ruby? From what I hear it's like Perl but without all the annoying bullshit that makes no sense.

― Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:33 (twenty years ago)

Nope. I'm just a tester, I have no skillz.

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:34 (twenty years ago)

Jordan, I actually convince computers to write most of my poetry for me. Thus giving me more time for itinering.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:34 (twenty years ago)

I haven't used Ruby, but I am mostly doing text manipulation with perl, and am pretty much too lazy to bother learning another language, and actually I don't find that too much of it doesn't make sense, perhaps because I am doing fairly simple things with it.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:35 (twenty years ago)

Cool, just curious.

― Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:35 (twenty years ago)

I was going to make a "Perl necklace" joke that was going to revolve around the fact that Andre 3000 pronounces "cum" as "comma" in the hit song "Hey Ya!" -- but then I gave up.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:36 (twenty years ago)

I mostly manipulate text in LaTeX. There's some joke fodder for ya!

xpost double entendres ho!

― Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:36 (twenty years ago)

I want to learn LaTeX.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:40 (twenty years ago)

I suggest this book:
http://www.macrotex.net/texbooks/lamport.jpg
and if that ain't enough, find Guide to LaTeX, 4th Edition by Kopka & Daly, which has the power to make your head spin.

― Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:43 (twenty years ago)

Where's Julia? She should introduce herself to Jesse.

Here's a fact about Julia that not all of you know: she's really cute.

― Shiny Maroon (kenan), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:43 (twenty years ago)

Otto, When are you going to have a party and invite your Headache friends and me, so we can become BFF and have a show together?

no time soon. i won't be having any parties in my new place, the landlady lives upstairs and she keeps going on and on about how quiet the neighborhood is and how peaceful the building is. the place i moved out of saw a lot of late night after party action.

you should have been at the hideout saturday, all the citizens of the 'city except mike were there. norah was dj'ing, i may have been dancing. i know i was taking money out of the atm at 2:53 a.m. i seem to remember going to exit after that. it was a very long very drunk evening.

mike and lisa are also in cococoma so they'll be at the beat kitchen on the 11th but you won't be around. but there's a good triple bill of submarine races, cococoma, and miss alex white at the bottle on the 31st. cococoma's 7" ships today i think, so be on the look out. it's 3 of my 4 favorite songs from them so it should be a good one. it'll be out on shit sandwich.

if you want a show with them i'd say just email norah. though they're going on a west coast tour after SXSW so they'll be away for a couple weeks.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:43 (twenty years ago)

Is the other book an O'Reilly book? I love me some O'Reilly books. Nerdy looking books with friendly beer-bellied lions who are apparently dating dogs, those are good too.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:44 (twenty years ago)

hey, that's julia? i've never seen a photo. she is cute!!

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:44 (twenty years ago)

Except now she has black plastic franed glasses that look like mine, which has certain "Single White Female" overtones, but we're not roommates and she's not trying to kill me, so I guess that's ok.

― Shiny Maroon (kenan), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:45 (twenty years ago)

All the ChiLX girls are really cute! I fell in with a good crowd.

― Shiny Maroon (kenan), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:46 (twenty years ago)

While Julia looks cute in her pictures, I was surprised by how attractive she was in person. The pictures fail to do her justice.

(I was also surprised at how much she reminded me of a friend of mine back in Portland, both in the way she looks and the way she talks.)

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:46 (twenty years ago)

She's fucking adorable, it's true.

― Shiny Maroon (kenan), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:46 (twenty years ago)

I"M BAAck

― unclejessjess (unclejessjess), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:48 (twenty years ago)

for whatever reason there were cute girls all over the bottle last night. there were maybe 80 people there, 40 of them women and 35 of those had me falling hopelessly in love with each of them.

just one of those weird random things.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:48 (twenty years ago)

I think that's called "horny."

― Shiny Maroon (kenan), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:49 (twenty years ago)

Is the other book an O'Reilly book?

Unfortunately, no. It's published by Addison Wesley. O'Reilly is silent on the topic of LaTeX, as far as I know - must be beneath them. In a lot of ways, it's very much akin to one of their books, though.

― Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:49 (twenty years ago)

Yeah that same sort of thing was happening to me at the Bottle the other night, as discussed upthread.

― Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:50 (twenty years ago)

Only in my case it was "horny and drunk." Because when not drunk I can rein in the horniness.

― Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:51 (twenty years ago)

Indie hipsters be hot.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:51 (twenty years ago)

Except my Portland friend doesn't wear glasses:

Also, this is the guy who wrote the book that I posted the picture of:
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~mihaib/articles/latex/img8.png
I think this is awesome. He could be any number of professors at my college.

― Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:52 (twenty years ago)

xpost Yikes. And will take your ass out, apparently.

― Shiny Maroon (kenan), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:53 (twenty years ago)

Nah, she's just playing a really intense game of Twister.

― Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:53 (twenty years ago)

no i wasn't horny and i wasn't drunk at the time i noticed it. most of these girls appeared to be a decade younger than me so it wasn't like i was ogling them with lacivious intent or anything. but you know that little thrill you get when you see a really cute girl do something really cute like laugh or smile? i was getting that every time i turned around.

it's a fun little narcotic.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:53 (twenty years ago)

Did she just break that guy's neck?

― Shiny Maroon (kenan), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:54 (twenty years ago)

That LaTeX book looks like it was published in 1986.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:54 (twenty years ago)

Did she just sever a man's head in that picture?

xpost

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:54 (twenty years ago)

xpostiness aw, thanks for the compliments. aaaaand more xp

i have been looking at apartment listings. where do people look for apts when they're searching? craigslist, the reader, where else? i have a while to look (for a two bedroom! i will be living with a friend and two cats, woohoo!) but it's still going to drive me crazy because my default setting is some level of crazy.

hi jesse! i'm julia, rather obviously. i'm like that pic above except that i have cooler glasses now. they're black but they had no single white female intentions whatsoever, bah. they're differently shaped! chris saw them!

― Juulia (julesbdules), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:55 (twenty years ago)

Installing LaTeX can be a chore, though.

― gbx (skowly), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:55 (twenty years ago)

She's pretty intense. She's a pediatric oncology nurse by day, studying to be a nurse practitioner by afternoon, and an actor at night.

She did not break that guy's neck. Some of you have met that guy with the black curly hair, for he is the guy who stole my air mattress.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:56 (twenty years ago)

This is how I'm spending my last day in Chicago. Killing time on the Chicago thread until the movie starts (at 4:30). I'm OK with that.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:57 (twenty years ago)

Julia, I just looked in the Reader and didn't even bother with Craigslist this last time I moved. Between the two of those, I feel like you should be pretty set.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:57 (twenty years ago)

they're black but they had no single white female intentions whatsoever, bah. they're differently shaped! chris saw them!

Whatever. You know you're just trying to copy me. Because I'm the only hipster in the world with square black plastic frames.
