| 03:35 | <llimllib> | This code to clone a canvas' context works in Firefox but not webkit; I'd like to know if you guys think it should reasonably run in webkit so I can go ahead and file a bug there: http://pastie.org/300648 |
| 12:51 | gsnedders | thinks its too late for an '09 start |
| 13:09 | gsnedders | goes back to his former conclusion that applying is too much effort |
| 13:12 | <Philip`> | Applying is easy compared to what comes after you get accepted :-p |
| 13:12 | <gsnedders> | Philip`: This is wrt to the US |
| 13:12 | <gsnedders> | :P |
| 18:55 | gsnedders | can't find his sense of logic now |
| 21:31 | <BenMillard> | ah, home sweet home |
| 21:32 | <gsnedders> | BenMillard: Home? peh! |

| 21:42 | <BenMillard> | gsnedders, where on Standards Suck is your voice? |
| 21:42 | <gsnedders> | BenMillard: On Lachy's computer. |
| 21:42 | <BenMillard> | aha |
| 21:43 | <BenMillard> | thanks for documenting my use of "Hixified" :) |
| 21:44 | <BenMillard> | speaking of which, I've got to write up the differences between those algorithms |
| 21:44 | <BenMillard> | maybe I can just ask James to do that :P |
| 21:58 | <gsnedders> | BenMillard: I guess I'm meant to do what I've been bullied into doing tomorrow (i.e., what you did on Thursday) |
| 22:01 | gsnedders | is listening to I'm So Worried by Monty Python from Monty Python Sings |
| 22:02 | <BenMillard> | gsnedders, I'm off for some lunch now |
| 22:02 | <gsnedders> | BenMillard: lunch? |
| 22:02 | <BenMillard> | correctamundo, might be around later... |
| 22:18 | <gsnedders> | http://whattf.org/mailing-list is broken |
| 22:27 | gsnedders | has no idea what to write for personal statement |
| 22:35 | <jcranmer> | gsnedders: college apps? |
| 22:35 | <gsnedders> | jcranmer: ? |
| 22:35 | <jcranmer> | 18:28 * gsnedders has no idea what to write for personal statement |
| 22:36 | <gsnedders> | jcranmer: s/college/University/ |
| 22:36 | gsnedders | ducks |
| 22:36 | <gsnedders> | :) |
| 22:36 | <gsnedders> | s/U/u/ |
| 22:36 | <jcranmer> | college = university where I'm from |
| 22:36 | <gsnedders> | jcranmer: thus the /me ducks |
| 22:36 | <jcranmer> | France, IIRC? |
| 22:36 | <gsnedders> | jcranmer: no, Uk |
| 22:36 | <jcranmer> | ah |
| 22:36 | <gsnedders> | *UK |
| 22:37 | <jcranmer> | the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Island |
| 22:37 | <gsnedders> | Correct. |
| 22:38 | <Philip`> | Incorrect |
| 22:38 | <Philip`> | s/Island/Ireland/ |
| 22:38 | <jcranmer> | sorry, Ireland |
| 22:38 | <gsnedders> | Oh, yeah |
| 22:38 | gsnedders | has auto-correction enabled in-head |
| 22:38 | <jcranmer> | the brain is very easy at self-correcting typographical errors |
| 22:38 | <jcranmer> | s/easy/good/ |
| 22:39 | jcranmer | shuts up now before he makes any more mistakes |
| 22:47 | gsnedders | yawns |
| 22:47 | <jcranmer> | 11:49 there, if my time zones are right |
| 22:48 | <gsnedders> | no, we're UTC±0 now |
| 22:48 | <gsnedders> | DST is over in the EU |
| 22:48 | <jcranmer> | ah |
| 22:48 | <gsnedders> | Ended this morning |
| 22:48 | <jcranmer> | so that means 12:50, right? |
| 22:48 | <gsnedders> | No, 22:50:40 |
| 22:49 | <jcranmer> | 10:50... I obviously rock at figuring out DST |
| 22:49 | <gsnedders> | jcranmer: Treat DST as being a timezone change (as it technically is) |
| 22:49 | <jcranmer> | is it spring forward, fall back or fall forward, spring back? |
| 22:50 | <gsnedders> | We're UTC±0 in winter, and UTC+1 in summer. |
| 22:52 | <jcranmer> | lemme work out for myself... in fall, the new 6:00 AM is the old 7:00 AM, so in fall the clock goes back an hour, so the timezone moves west 15°, so the differential falls an hour |
| 22:53 | <gsnedders> | jcranmer: Whether you're northern/southern hemisphere also has an affect |
| 22:53 | <jcranmer> | at least it only happens twice a year |
| 22:53 | <gsnedders> | s/affect/effect/ |
| 22:54 | <jcranmer> | Coriolis effect! |
