02:42:25 MJ: So this is a funny thing with academic bureaucracy, I am currently in a dual degree program at my university, this is a signed thing, I am in a contract with them about this, however to satisfy the PhD programs requirments I still have to pantomime going through an application in the PhD program with the caveat that if apperently if anything gets too complicated I am supposed to email the program director and see if
02:42:26 MJ: they can just have the requirment waived

02:49:00 Devastator: still ultra-stressed?
02:58:14 MJ: But I did pretty well on my most recent practice board so that is good

07:43:49 syv: I sent
Paris a friendly message yesterday, and he responded while I was unconscious
07:44:46 syv: Hey, thanks for the message! It makes me really happy!
07:44:46 syv: Funny you should message me now, I'm actually in the US right now exploring
Piecewise's neck of the woods.
07:44:47 syv: The IRC bot honestly surprises me as well, considering it's in another country, with no way for me to access it if it goes down. It's half dumb luck, half "it's been running for so long I've figured out workarounds for most ways it can break", half "IRC is ancient and there's hardly any breaking changes" and half "I make sure it's working every time I upgrade the thing". I hope it's been useful. I check the logs once in a blue moon and it warms
07:44:47 syv: As for writing, it's one of the things that's really missing from my life right now. I think about it a lot, I want to get back into writing. There are times at night when I get a good story idea and I've got to stop myself because I know I'll never sleep if I start writing it. Maybe I should try to make some time for it and try to be less of a perfectionist about it.
07:44:47 syv: I've been kind of keeping up with
Dev's story through email notifications, I might add Lenglon's story to my notifications since I'm interested to see where it's going to go.
07:44:47 syv: Thanks again for messaging me and I hope everything is going well!
07:45:25 Devastator: Huh, that's good news.
07:45:43 Devastator: Good old ancient IRC.
07:46:10 Devastator: and good to hear from
paris.
07:46:15 Devastator: had no idea
paris was reading Extinction.
07:46:29 Devastator: I'll send
paris a message about feedback..
07:57:05 Devastator: he hopped on and said "I'm gonna come up there the first week of June."
07:57:16 Devastator: Guy does move fast when he decides to do stuff.
08:19:40 syv: He told me the same yesterday, actually.
08:19:58 syv: It's because he did well on his practice test. Quite well, from what he described to me.
08:20:33 Devastator: Aye, he said as much.
08:20:55 syv: He said he expects to mostly go drinking, wander around, and fish
08:21:25 Devastator: He also asked "What city am I flying into?"
08:21:33 Devastator: Ahh. Drinking isn't the best thing up here, actually.
08:21:40 Devastator: It's not the best place for that.
08:21:47 syv: If he's making plans I should recommend the hotel I stayed at
08:21:48 Devastator: but fishing, yeah, lots of places for that.
08:21:54 Devastator: I mentioned that to him.
08:22:06 Devastator: do it, the room prices are really dirt cheap by US standards.
08:24:01 Devastator: plus excuses to eat at that restaurant are few and far between.
08:24:28 syv: 's sadly not as carnivorous as I am.
08:25:10 Devastator: I'm pretty sure
MJ eats meat.
08:25:18 Devastator: I'll keep that in mind, though.
08:25:36 Devastator: we do have good meat, though.

08:41:44 sy: That really is excellent jerky
08:42:53 Devastator: Yeah, it is. It may well be the best commercial jerky in the entire world.
08:43:00 Devastator: It wrecked it for Irony forever.
09:10:30 Devastator: I meant the one in the new game.
