BenMustard: Hi.
IceCreamJonsey: Another quality update.
BenMustard: It's not supposed to be about QUALITY, though. See, this is no good.
BenMustard: I can't keep pumping this crap out this much every day.
BenMustard: It's all just supposed to be my thoughts and feelings about the day.
IceCreamJonsey: Maybe you need a .... guest columnist?
IceCreamJonsey: At some point, I mean.
BenMustard: Now it's turned into PWC LIGHTNING ROUND.
IceCreamJonsey: Ah-ha!
IceCreamJonsey: It's nice... sort of like having PWC back again, for a little while.
IceCreamJonsey: The original one, too, I mean.
BenMustard: PWC was good, man. I read the "Dale P.D. Hackford" sushi review again today, and I was like, "how did this guy come UP with this stuff?"
BenMustard: Then I realized I did. Then I realized I couldn't ever again. Then I drank.
IceCreamJonsey:
1. PWC
2. PWC2 BBS
3. Jetstream
4. PWC2
5. My Own Private Oregon
6. PWC3
IceCreamJonsey: Wait!
IceCreamJonsey: Forgot Perimeter.
IceCreamJonsey: Put Perimeter there at #5.
BenMustard: dont forget perimitrerrter
IceCreamJonsey: I didn't/won't!
BenMustard: where is snt?
IceCreamJonsey: It is already ahead of PWC3.
IceCreamJonsey: Let's... well...
BenMustard: It's gotta be ahead of MOPO, too.
IceCreamJonsey: Let's just wait a second and see if it has a "Bye bye Grampa Loves You" in it before
IceCreamJonsey: Well, wait, now.
BenMustard: How MOPO isn't last, I'll never understand.
BenMustard: Oh, that.
IceCreamJonsey: Yes... that was MOPO's saving grace.
BenMustard: I did like "tuna sandwich on rye". That was my favorite gag of the day.
IceCreamJonsey: Especially since that description is impossible in Inform and Hugo.
IceCreamJonsey: You can't get it to say "On rye." like that.
IceCreamJonsey: MAYBE TADS3
BenMustard: ?
IceCreamJonsey: Sitting on the chair is a tuna sandwich. On rye.
IceCreamJonsey: Imposible <-- French for impossible.
BenMustard: Hmm.
IceCreamJonsey: Unless you hack it in.
IceCreamJonsey: Not built in, I mean.
IceCreamJonsey: Not "impossible."
IceCreamJonsey: By the way!
BenMustard: You can't put a period in an object description?
IceCreamJonsey: Yes, but the parser is telling you what is on the chair at that point.
IceCreamJonsey: I mean, default library work.
IceCreamJonsey: Look, bitch.
IceCreamJonsey: JUST FUCKING BELIEVE ME
IceCreamJonsey: 80,000 lines of Hugo in the last three years GIVES ME THE RIGHT.
IceCreamJonsey: YOU'RE OFF THE CASE.
IceCreamJonsey: "80,000 lines!"
BenMustard: Let me know when you're done.
IceCreamJonsey: Done.
IceCreamJonsey: EIGHTY
IceCreamJonsey: THOUSAND
IceCreamJonsey: Okay, done.
BenMustard: Comments up in that piece?
IceCreamJonsey: SIXTY THOUSAND
BenMustard: Brackets up in that piece?
IceCreamJonsey: FORTY FIVE THOUSAND
BenMustard: So in terms of real programming, you've written negative 25,000 lines of code.
IceCreamJonsey: Yeah, but I wrote them well.
BenMustard: Have you read the reviews?
IceCreamJonsey: Another quality update.
