| 00:35 | <JonathanNeal> | Good evening! |
| 00:37 | <gsnedders> | Good afternoon! |
| 00:51 | <JonathanNeal> | gsnedders: how have you been? |
| 00:59 | <gsnedders> | JonathanNeal: okay, been busy and at meetings/BlinkOn this week on my second trip to the US this year. |
| 00:59 | <JonathanNeal> | Once a month now, huh? |
| 01:01 | <gsnedders> | well, it's scarcely February! |
| 01:01 | <gsnedders> | hopefully no more long-haul till September |
| 01:01 | <gsnedders> | But I might have agreed to do one more before then :( |
| 01:02 | <JonathanNeal> | What are you working on that keeps bringing you out? Or are these talks? |
| 01:03 | <gsnedders> | JonathanNeal: CSS WG F2F at the start of the month, now here for a variety of meetings as well as BlinkOn (some with Google, some cross-vendor) |
| 01:03 | <gsnedders> | getting paid by Google to work on test stuff nowadays |
| 01:05 | <JonathanNeal> | getting paid by Google is always nice |
| 01:05 | <gsnedders> | Yeah, can't say it's a bad hting. |
| 01:05 | <gsnedders> | *thing :) |
| 01:14 | <a-ja> | fyi for travelers to US...fed judge in wash just issued temporary restraining order immediately halting trump's immigration ban...so customs lines should be shorter for now |
| 01:15 | <a-ja> | it'll probably be in 9th circuit appeals court tomorrow, though, so who knows how long it'll last |
| 01:18 | <gsnedders> | s/customs/immigration/ I assume, but still, depends on the CBP actually following a court order which hasn't always happened… |
| 01:20 | <a-ja> | will be interesting to see whether it gets to a 4-4 supreme court |
| 01:20 | <gsnedders> | oh, god, I'd never thought of the fact that there's a vacant position there… |
| 01:21 | <gsnedders> | so, uh, what happens in that case? |
| 01:22 | <a-ja> | in case of 4-4 ties, appeals court decisions stand |
