olamachon | Yay! svn.php.net is back up. |
rindolf | olamachon: <olamachon> Yay! svn.php.net is back up. |
rindolf | <doomlord__> xeno_ actually seeing rust on ==> that's great. |
olamachon | rindolf: ? |
rindolf | olamachon: sorry, I meant that it's great that svn.php.net is up. |
olamachon | rindolf: haha ya. Pretty exciting, might write a short novella about it. |
rindolf | olamachon: heh. |
olamachon | The Svniliion: The trials and tribulations of a programmers journey to get information about PHP |
rindolf | “The day when svn.php.net returned.” -- by olamachon |
rindolf | olamachon: heh. |
olamachon | rindolf: Ah that's it. So much better. |
olamachon | rindolf: Hopefully I'll get like a 10 sec clip in some svn documentary on the history channel |
XMPPwocky | rindolf: you *know* that the people working on svn.php had to have an offline backup |
rindolf | olamachon: I like your title too. |
olamachon | rindolf: "And it went down, and that is how I knew it was the beginning of the end" |
rindolf | olamachon: heh. |
XMPPwocky | rindolf: because otherwise nobody could remember which way the arguments go for anything |
rindolf | olamachon: “I sulked in my suffering. It was the kind of suffering that tore your heart to shreds. A programmer’s suffering. Nothing could equal it.” |
olamachon | XMPPwocky: ya I was thinking about asking my fellow ner... connoisseurs.... if they might have a backup |
olamachon | rindolf: "a lonely life full of 1's and 0's" |
rindolf | olamachon: heh. |
olamachon | rindolf: I smell the beginning of an organically grown IRC novel |
rindolf | olamachon: this would definitely make a best-seller. |
rindolf | olamachon: heh. |
rindolf | olamachon: maybe I'll prepare a convo log out of it - http://www.shlomifish.org/humour/fortunes/sharp-programming.html |
olamachon | hahahah |
rindolf | olamachon: “I remembered the happy days when I was using the svn server back when it was at its prime. Running. Functioning. These days seem so distant now.” |
rindolf | LOL. |
olamachon | rindolf: "Soon I realized we were at a turning point in a cultural revolution" |
rindolf | olamachon: hmm... you can do "better" than that. |
rindolf | olamachon: http://www.shlomifish.org/humour/stories/ - I actually wrote some novellas and screenplay-of-sorts here. |
olamachon | rindolf: right right, novellas. I was thinking more like I was the glue guy in a documentary |
olamachon | rindolf: So I was trying to be super cliché |
rindolf | olamachon: ah. |
rindolf | olamachon: so was I. |
olamachon | rindolf: I like the ironic cliché where it actually means nothing |
olamachon | rindolf: its just all good sounding filler |
rindolf | “I looked at the clock on my desktop. Each seconds seemed like a century. What will I do without the svn server online? What can I do? What can I do about it? Who am I asking all these questions?” |
rindolf | olamachon: I wonder where I first read clichés such as that. Maybe it was someone parodying them. |
olamachon | rindolf: "Then I had an existential epiphany. What is SVN? What am I? What are we doing in this universe? This foray into the metaphysical was cut short by a brief glance at the clock. It's 5 o'clock. f**k this s**t, I'm getting drunk." |
rindolf | olamachon: heh. |
rindolf | olamachon: do you actually write? |
olamachon | rindolf: never |
rindolf | olamachon: ah, I see. |
olamachon | rindolf: is it that obvious? haha |
rindolf | olamachon: you may be a natural. |
olamachon | rindolf: I wrote like an essay or two in university, they were like 2 pages haha |
rindolf | olamachon: ah, so little? |
olamachon | rindolf: I read a copious amount of literature |
rindolf | olamachon: ah, OK. |
rindolf | olamachon: OK, I'll keep this conversation. |
olamachon | rindolf: Perhaps that has a prolific effect on my penchant for the perverse verbosity? |
rindolf | olamachon: and put it on that page. |
rindolf | olamachon: yes, maybe. |
olamachon | rindolf: Sure. I feel like we may be getting a bit off-topic here |
rindolf | olamachon: yes, well, svn.php.net is back - that's what important. |
rindolf | Seize the svn. |
rindolf | Carpe svn! |
olamachon | rindolf: Nice. I see what you did there. I am literally doing that as fast as I can |
rindolf | Well, not sure the Latin is right. |
olamachon | carpe is the seize part |
rindolf | "Occupy svn.php.net!" |
olamachon | diem is day |
rindolf | olamachon: yes, I know. |
rindolf | But maybe svn has to be conjugated. |
olamachon | oh was carpe diem an idiom? |
olamachon | carpe svnus? |
rindolf | Carpe svni? |
olamachon | ^ |
rindolf | Carpe svna? |
rindolf | Carpe svnis? |
rindolf | Not sure. |
rindolf | My Latin is weak. |
rindolf | I know the plural of Pentium is Pentia. |
pyon | olamachon: "Carpe diem" means something like "live/enjoy this day" |
olamachon | pyon: Seize the day |
pyon | Yeah. |
rindolf | Well, carpe meant quite a few things. |
rindolf | In Latin at least. |
olamachon | This is unbelievably slow. On a 1gbps connection, PHP docs have been downloading for 15 minutes so far |
rindolf | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpe_diem |
rindolf | olamachon: I see. |
olamachon | I'm trying to grab it all incase I need it later, but with my luck it will drop out again before the 1 file I need |
