00:29:14 [Pipian]Well
00:29:17 [Pipian]That's disappointing.
00:29:32 [Pipian]The course I was going to take on Wednesday nights has been postponed a semester
00:54:48 [nathanbp]wow have to read the back log
01:02:53 [Pipian]Why is "Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2" a featured video this week in iTunes
01:06:40 [Puyopuyo]!pointer
01:06:40 [Sacchi]http://www.pipian.com/stuffforchat/cochineal-logs/Cochineal-2011-02-03.html#T1-6-40
01:06:51 [Pipian]Yep
01:06:56 [Pipian]Thrilling discussion since you left
01:09:11 [Puyopuyo]very much so
01:10:27 [Pipian]I should probably buy my tickets for the Time of Eve showing on the 19th
01:10:51 [Pipian]Now that I've all but confirmed that my flight out is going to be the 21st
01:12:11 [Puyopuyo]nice!
02:42:19 [gadgetgrl]pointer!
02:42:26 [gadgetgrl]sacchi, pointer
02:42:33 [Puyopuyo]!pointer
02:42:33 [Sacchi]http://www.pipian.com/stuffforchat/cochineal-logs/Cochineal-2011-02-03.html#T2-42-33
02:42:41 [gadgetgrl]gah, front not back
02:42:44 [gadgetgrl]thanks
02:42:44 [Puyopuyo]Or Sacchi, pointer?
02:42:49 [gadgetgrl]yeah, was attempting that
02:42:54 [Puyopuyo]It's in the topic!
02:43:01 [gadgetgrl]i was trying from memory?
02:43:08 [Puyopuyo]Can't fault you there.
02:43:13 [gadgetgrl]the topic with the instructions requires to pull down
02:43:20 [Puyopuyo]...really? Lemme fix that.
02:44:00 [gadgetgrl]it could just be my client
02:44:07 [Puyopuyo]Does it need a pull down now?
02:45:14 [nathanbp]should invite mark so he can idle here all the time just like he does on aim
02:46:42 [Puyopuyo]Up to you.
02:46:47 [Puyopuyo]I got the three people I talk to regularly.
03:21:09 [gadgetgrl]nope
03:21:26 [gadgetgrl]re: pull down, not mark :)
03:25:33 [Puyopuyo]Okay, so that fixed it then.
03:25:36 [Puyopuyo]I'll leave it in that order.
03:40:06 [Pipian]It's her client
03:40:10 [Pipian]I'm using Colloquy as well
03:41:42 [Puyopuyo]Ah
03:42:45 [Pipian]So I know what she's talking about
03:43:10 [gadgetgrl]still doesn't hurt to move it towards the front
03:43:20 [gadgetgrl]though now that i've messed up twice, i'll remember what i did wrong most likely
03:43:26 [gadgetgrl](that's a learning theory!)
03:44:18 [Pipian]it keeps happening
03:44:27 [Pipian]there are more pony avatars on this web forum
03:44:59 [Pipian]Pony discussion has even broken into the MS Paint Adventures thread
03:45:37 [Puyopuyo]...wow
03:45:49 [Pipian]But then
03:46:05 [Pipian]That's partly because the most recent avatar fad (ongoing) before ponies
03:46:10 [Pipian]was MS Paint Adventures
03:57:43 [Pipian]"What I Watched: The Island Arc of Nadia"
03:57:52 [Pipian]"What I expected: Standard filler arc"
03:58:00 [Pipian]"What I got: Tsundere Gilligan's Island"
05:21:06 [Pipian]And
05:21:09 [Pipian]Flights booked
05:21:19 [Pipian]So I should be good to come down the weekend of the 19th next month
05:21:30 [Pipian]Once I book bus or train or whatever.
05:23:21 [Puyopuyo]Awesome.
05:36:32 [Pipian]So I'll work on that tomorrow
07:19:22 [gadgetgrl]so ian, if i'm reading that right, you're coming to nyc for time of eve?
07:21:41 [Puyopuyo]So...Panel de Pon Grand Tournament of the Ages?
07:21:48 [Puyopuyo]Translated to: DON'T PLAY LIKE IAN!
07:29:56 [gadgetgrl]lol
07:30:01 [gadgetgrl]bring it!
07:30:18 [gadgetgrl]heading to bed...ttyl!
07:30:27 [gadgetgrl]night!
07:39:39 [Pipian]yesssss
07:39:49 [Puyopuyo]?
07:39:55 [Pipian]plausible victory path past Maylene identified
07:40:07 [Pipian]Still requires significant luck
07:40:20 [Pipian]But it's possible with my
07:40:32 [Pipian]It's the Lucario that poses the problem
07:40:53 [Pipian]Since my Crobat can't sweep it with the rest of the team.
07:41:14 [Pipian]However, upon reminding me that ground beats steel
07:41:30 [Pipian]My Graveler MIGHT be able to take it out despite the type disadvantage
07:42:09 [Pipian]Since Magnitude 7+ can crit-hit into a OHKO
07:42:29 [Pipian]And it can survive a single drain punch/force slap etc.
07:43:19 [Pipian]Slap the quick claw on it (which is all I've got at the moment since I have no choice scarf)
07:43:27 [Puyopuyo]...you're gambling pretty heavily on a high Magnitude.
07:43:33 [Puyopuyo]Though Mag 10 would win it outright for you.
07:43:40 [Pipian]And there's a chance I can get two mags off instead
07:43:49 [Pipian]Mag 10 could OHKO it
07:44:00 [Puyopuyo]...also, I'm suddenly thinking my family's going to be in serious financial trouble.
07:44:04 [Pipian]Mag 7+ Crit would OHKO it
07:44:30 [Pipian]Or two Mag 7+ attacks with the second invoking Quick Claw
07:44:52 [Puyopuyo]http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/03/nyregion/03pension.html <- My dad's retiring as a teacher after 25 years in 1 and a half years. We've got no other income. This...could possibly completely screw us over.
07:46:09 [Pipian]Eck
07:46:35 [Puyopuyo]Incidentally, he's going to be 60.
07:46:38 [Pipian]Well
07:46:40 [Puyopuyo](By that time)
07:46:45 [Pipian]That all talks about new workers
07:47:00 [Pipian]Says nothing about current retirees except for the stipend for police and fire
07:47:08 [Puyopuyo]Dunno what else it says.
07:47:26 [Puyopuyo]And I'm worried about changes as well.
07:47:42 [Puyopuyo]We'll see how it goes, but this pretty much kills my mother's decision to go into teaching.
07:48:05 [Pipian]I could see that though
07:48:19 [Puyopuyo]She's just finished 3 years of getting a masters in education.
07:48:31 [Puyopuyo]This does not bode well for us.
07:48:44 [Puyopuyo]...huh. We may lose our house. That's really not good. Better discuss with them.
07:49:10 [Pipian]Like I said
07:49:17 [Pipian]Unless those changes apply to existing employees
07:49:21 [Pipian]It'd only apply to your mom
07:49:32 [Puyopuyo]Yeaaah, but pension is roughly half salary.
07:49:51 [Puyopuyo]So we'd be making about enough to cover month to month, not counting my sister's incurred expenses.
07:50:12 [Pipian]Well yeah
07:50:17 [Pipian]If you're counting on a second one
07:50:20 [Pipian]Then it's a problem
07:50:35 [Puyopuyo]Well, we were counting on my mother making some money.
07:50:49 [Puyopuyo]Admittedly, teaching in NYC isn't doing so hot.
07:51:14 [Pipian]Teaching anywhere isn't all that hot
07:51:47 [Puyopuyo]Outside of the USA it is.
07:51:52 [Pipian]Oh well yeah
07:52:11 [Pipian]But as long as you're restricting yourself to a country where education is not seen as a particularly high priority
07:52:24 [Puyopuyo]Smart people suck, after all.
07:52:41 [Pipian]They can think for themselves
07:52:44 [Pipian]That did it
07:52:52 [Pipian]Mag 7 + Mag 8 (Quick Claw)
07:53:11 [Pipian]Took a few tries to get that outcome though
07:54:46 [Pipian]Now to effectively ice that Crobat for a while to get the rest of the team up to L28
07:55:12 [Pipian]I swear these games are really tilted towards having one uber pokemon and a useless rest of the team
07:58:32 [Pipian]That's right
07:58:35 [Pipian]I have Morel for a reason
07:58:41 [Pipian]Now to catch Rinnosuke
07:58:44 [Puyopuyo]Oh god.
07:59:25 [Pipian]Ah, good ol' Spore + False Swipe
07:59:51 [Pipian]Incredibly important when catching L3 pokemon with a L50-odd team
08:00:41 [Puyopuyo]Winning combination always.
08:04:42 [Pipian]Ah
08:04:52 [Pipian]The obscure reasons behind having a Golem named GEODUDER
08:08:38 [Pipian]My brother gave me a pretty good reason why Portland bike lanes are among the best in the US
08:08:43 [Pipian]Being all of http://www.joystiq.com/2010/08/24/mario-kart-symbols-appear-on-bike-lanes-in-portland-ore/
08:10:46 [Puyopuyo]Nice!
08:11:58 [Pipian]Anyway
08:12:01 [Pipian]Once again it's bedtime.
08:15:06 [Puyopuyo]Night!

16:48:35 [gadgetgrl]Does the Strand sell magazines?
17:03:27 [Puyopuyo]I'm not sure.
17:03:43 [Puyopuyo]Oh, with respect to the Lugaru HD fiasco on the Apple Store: http://cdn.wolfire.com/blog/a/apple_pirate.png

17:04:07 [Sacchi]http://www.pipian.com/stuffforchat/cochineal-logs/Cochineal-2011-02-03.html#T17-4-7
17:04:10 [Pipian-Lab]I don't recall magazines from the couple times I went
17:04:20 [Pipian-Lab]But I don't live in East Village so
17:04:45 [Puyopuyo]I don't believe so, but they can be asked.
17:04:57 [Puyopuyo]I need to get this month's Retro Gamer next time I'm at Barnes and Noble...
17:05:15 [Puyopuyo]Anyway, off to class. Woo.
17:59:00 [Pipian-Lab]Note to self: remember to follow DS Homebrew thread for updates on when a 3DS compatible card comes out.
