[Zeke]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I'm in #5mv now. Don't know how much I'll be around today, but I'll try to make it a fair amount.[/colorost_uid0]

[Nan]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]That was, in my humble opinion, awesome!

Who knew so many authors liked Zelda?[/colorost_uid0]

[Zeke]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Yes, that was definitely a success.[/colorost_uid0]

[Marill]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I couldn't even get on the server.. that was annoying

I know I can get on irc.webchat.org[/colorost_uid0]

[Sa'ar Chasm]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I would suggest irc.starchat.net in the future, but that's just me. They seem to have a longer limit on handles than Dwarfstar, which means I can call myself Schroedinger`s_Lemming and not Schroedinge.[/colorost_uid0]

[MaverickZer0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Sorry, my computer time's been kinda limited lately. I'm trying to get ahead in math. It's kinda difficult, as I think the guys who wrote our books were drunk.

Need proof? Apparently, 8=6. 8+6=6. Any questions?[/colorost_uid0]

[catalina_marina]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Yes. Do 8 and 6 both equal 0?[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]That reminds me of a language I used to program in called Smalltalk. Everything in the language was an object and could be assigned new values, including numbers. You could really hose your system if you did something like:
[code:1ost_uid0]8 <- 6[/code:1ost_uid0]
So 8+6=12, 8²=36, log₈ 216 = 3. The only way to reinitialize 8 to the correct value was to say 8 <- 12-4 or something like that. If you hosed your system too much, you had to reinstall and start over from the beginning.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Yes. Was there a division by the difference of two variables in there anywhere? [/colorost_uid0]

[Gatac]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I'm with cat on that one. 8 and 6 are symbols for 0.

[catalina_marina]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Except for when you put three sixes in a row. [/colorost_uid0]

[AKAArzosah]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]This board is clearly on topic.

666... oh, the devil's number.[/colorost_uid0]

[Nic Corelli]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]So, shall we make Saturday the official day for 5MV IRC chat?[/colorost_uid0]

[Zeke]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Actually, people seem to be using the IRC chat during the week too. It's seen a bunch of use yesterday and today.[/colorost_uid0]

[catalina_marina]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I think it's just nice to have some place to get together with a few forumgoers. But maybe we should still get a planned day to get more of us there? [/colorost_uid0]

[taya17]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Knowing my luck, it'll probably end up being on the one day where I'm not free... I'll try to be there as often as I can.[/colorost_uid0]

[Nic Corelli]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]How about Saturday as an official day, and all other days as unofficial ones? People will visit IRC and chat every day, but a very large number of us will be there on the official day... [/colorost_uid0]

[Nan]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Why not have all unofficial days? And when Zeke, or anyone else, has announcements or anything to make they could just announce on the news page or something, like a scheduled chat?

Or use a script to show when someone was logged on to the channel?

*shrug*

Just a thought. [/colorost_uid0]

[Sa'ar Chasm]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I would recommend registering the channel and appointing Ops.

Be warned: sometimes the channel gets a rating of NC-17: not for children or the excessively prudish.[/colorost_uid0]

[Katy Jane]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I haven't actualy figured out how to get on the channel yet. Is there some trick to it or am i juat slow?[/colorost_uid0]
