Aw man, I hate being reminded about how old we're all getting.

Plus, when you're older than the birthday boy, you feel really wretched.

Shut it, random nonsensical method of transport, you're making me feel all zimmery!



Edit: Also, how far away is EDT from GMT?

Edit 2: Aww, dang, I missed it

Zimmery? That's a new one...

How'd the chat go? Was that on irc?

About six months.

The logs should be available somewhere. Actually, I think if you log in to Xeroc's site (by following the link in Zeke's post, which is where it was, Nate) you can read our wittiness and see how awesome we were that evening.

It wasn't in real time. Zeke stole a time counterfeiter from Temporal Investigations and created five minutes of fake time that you can fit an hours' worth of conversation in. How do you think he created the site?

Eastern Standard Time is GMT minus five hours , but I think it's six for Daylight (or something like that -- it's one of those things I'm likely to get backwards, if I'm not engaging the brain carefully.) (Edit: Sa'ar's covered that bit, I now realize.)

Meh, neither you nor the young punk have much to worry about for a while, there.

It'd be neat if we could set aside, let's say, two half-hours a week to meet in a chat. Two sessions just to cover the fact that not everyone is in the same timezone, ergo not everyone is awake and able to access their computers simultaneously. Point-by-point instructions and/or a FAQ would also help.

The icy hand of thirty's upon you already?

Now would seem to be the time to give some support to an old classic of the Trek fandom world. A quote from Jim Wright's Delta Blues review of Twisted:

"The usual inanities are exchanged: "You don't look a day over one," "This must have cost you a week's worth of replicator rations!" "Two, actually, but who's counting?" ad stupidum. But it's a birthday party, where IQs are traditionally checked at the door."

Happy belated birthday, Zeke! I totally suck at baking, but have a pie. Don't have one I made, though. Especially if it smells like almonds.

I have horrible timing. I missed it. Again. My bad chat-timing streak holds! But I agree with having people drop into it whenever. We need more wacky.
