00:03 <RazorSharpFang> Cepheid, Okay, but having a rule that passwords can't be longer than 12 characters, man.

00:04 <Cepheid> That's a bit more ridiculous, I admit, yes.

00:04 <Cepheid> I would say... 50 characters maximum.

00:04 <Cepheid> With no restrictions on the characters.  Also ensuring the danged thing doesn't get passed through eval().

00:05 <RazorSharpFang> "I would like my password to be 50 characters long, with every character the null character"

00:05 <Cepheid> "Okay.  I'm not going to question it."

00:09 <KooK> Thelema5, the world is back to normal once again

00:09 <KooK> And I got myself some new threads :P

06:45 <Finwe> What's south-east of California?

06:45 <Finwe> New Mexico and Texas?

06:45 <PinkieShy> Based on the average rent that he told me of like $1,900 a month in South East of the USA such as south carolina

06:45 <PinkieShy> That would get him a 3 bedroom house lol

06:58 <RazorSharpFang> Snapai, What's this OpenToons thing you keep retweeting about?

07:01 <Snapai> It's an open source piece of animation software that's between Flash and Toon Boom Harmony in capability.

07:02 <Snapai> (It was the industry-leading piece of software that Harmony replaced as top dog, so one of the companies with authorization to do so- the Studio Ghibli team specifically - released it as open source)

07:03 <Snapai> ...not that Ghibli ever does significant amounts of cutout animation to demonstrate what the software is actually capable of XD

07:04 <RazorSharpFang> Can it export to SWF format?

07:31 * Filly_Nightmares found out that one of the wallpapers for Wallpaper Engine can use GIF files

07:34 <Snapai> RazorSharpFang, I'd still recommend playing with it tho', just coz it's a neat program.

07:35 <Snapai> https://gumroad.com/l/TZmmM - this is effectively the testing build. Also is a portable build, so it runs from its own folder. Windows only.

07:36 <RazorSharpFang> It's really neat that there's work on an open-source competitor to flash. It's been needed, man.

07:36 <RazorSharpFang> Do you happen to know which framework it uses for its GUI?

07:36 <Snapai> QT5

07:37 <RazorSharpFang> That should make porting to other OSs a lot easier than if it were using WPF.

07:37 <Snapai> It's a handful of features away from being an open source competitor to Harmony.

07:37 <Snapai> wtf is WPF?

07:37 <Snapai> Anyways, it's QT which is designed to be crossplatform. Also what Toon Boom has always used.

07:38 <RazorSharpFang> Windows Presentation Foundation. It is the successor to Windows GDI

07:38 <Snapai> oh wait. I misread you

07:38 <RazorSharpFang> GDI came out with Windows 3 I think.

07:38 <Snapai> I thought you were saying it should be built against WPF XD

07:38 *** Quits: Pi (Mibbit@Pony-1sq.t5q.151.49.IP) (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)

07:38 <RazorSharpFang> (Back in my day)

07:39 <RazorSharpFang> Though to be fair, future versions of WPF will itself target QT.

07:39 <Snapai> The version I linked isa build that one of the devs is doing every so often on his own- he only has a Windows system to build on.

07:40 <Snapai> That's the only reason there's not Mac and Linux builds. It's just his regular build that he shares with the community. :D

07:40 <RazorSharpFang> Ah yes the classic "You must own a mac to build mac applications"

07:40 <Snapai> If you want to go back to the initial release of 1.1.3, you can get that for anything.

07:40 <Snapai> (well more that you can't test the build if you crosscompile)

07:41 <Snapai> And the stuff in OTX (@Turtletooth's OpenToonz Portable testing releases) will be in 1.2.0 which the git is currently in feature freeze for I think.

07:42 <RazorSharpFang> Best part about this is that if a company /really/ needs a feature and they're using Open-source software, they can commission/develop it.

07:43 <RazorSharpFang> Free as in Freedom

07:44 <Snapai> Yes, and the source companies also make Toonz Premium, which is....actually nearly identical, but basically you can buy support for it still if you want.

07:44 <Snapai> Realistically, as interest in OT builds and it attracts more devs, it should start to outpace commercial dev.

07:45 <RazorSharpFang> You're likely already thinking years down the line, presuming something doesn't blow up.

07:45 <Filly_Nightmares> I kinda wanna download OpenToonz now

07:45 <Snapai> But yeh. OT is now absolutely what I would recommend for internet 2D cartoon projects.

07:46 <Snapai> It's LEGIT free, and has a full animation/compositing graph system like Harmony. :D

07:46 <Filly_Nightmares> o8o

07:47 <Snapai> Like....you could pirate Animate but it's not that good. Or you could pirate Harmony, but if you are serious about assembling a team of a dozen internet animators to work on your pilot, that's not feasible really.

07:47 <Snapai> Or you could get OpenToonz, which is legal to get for no money for as many people as you like.

07:48 <RazorSharpFang> Here's hoping it's more stable than Adobe products ;)

09:50 <ConfusionRift> Hola!

09:51 <Tirek> I finished my third iteration of denselang.

09:51 <Tirek> And I think a fourth is in order.

09:52 <Tirek> I added grammatical genders in the third iteration, but am not taking advantage of them fully. I'm pretty sure that by using grammatical genders, I can bring down the amount of roots from ~60 to ~40.

09:52 <Tirek> In true fusional ogilosynthetic fashion.

09:53 <ConfusionRift> Niice.

09:57 <ConfusionRift> Wait, iterations? I'm guessing you're messing with different platforms just to see how they fit as it goes?

09:59 <Tirek> Nah, I just made 2 revisions to it so far, and the revisions, while they look pretty similar, have a different set of vocabulary, and some roots now have multiple meanings depending on grammatical gender.

10:00 *** Joins: Pi (Mibbit@Pony-bta.8nr.151.49.IP)

10:00 <Tirek> Gender in denselang isn't anything like gender in most romance languages. It's not maleness or femaleness.

10:01 <Tirek> Rather its a more like Swahili, which has genders for whether its a person, plant, tree, object, concept, etc.

10:01 <Tirek> Denselang's genders are Physical, Mental/emotional, Professional, animal, plant, concept.

10:02 <Tirek> In 3rd iteration there was a neutral gender which didn't have a grammatical suffix.

10:03 <Tirek> But I'm seeing just how far I could cram information into each root, and then see if I could change the phones and allow consonant clustering for root words, and roots would literally just be a consonant or consonant cluster.

10:04 <Tirek> Although consonant clustering technically introduces new phonemes into the language anyway.

10:04 <Tirek> So maybe not.

10:08 *** Quits: Saerydoth (akai@Pony-2i7.fvo.126.65.IP) (Quit: Leaving)

10:09 <ConfusionRift> It's becoming a cluster alright. :P

10:12 <ConfusionRift> Still, that diversity in genders within one cluster will make it even more complex. And I remember that part vagueness, yet with definition, was part of the language's main structure.

10:13 <ConfusionRift> then again, it would tear some of its complexity and give it more definition... and probably less redundancy. :P

10:18 <Tirek> Right.

10:19 <Tirek> There'll probably be a bunch of words that have only one real gender form though. Like names of body parts.

10:19 <Tirek> Arm, hand and leg, foot specifically.

10:20 <Tirek> I can't think of how to tie things together fully.

10:28 <Tirek> The issue is that, so far, its starting to look less and less dense.

10:28 <Tirek> Napip putsanumipun kutsinum gaŋamig

10:29 <Tirek> One of the ways I could reduce it just a smidge further is to replace the time/aspect affixes with a combinational tense system. (instead of past tense, and simple aspect, for instance, you'd have past simple.)

10:30 <Tirek> But that'll only fix verbs, and I don't really have a lot of spare affices left to work with.

10:33 <Tirek> So that's out of the question.

16:39 <Finwe> Mijnheer Jahnesta.

16:39 <ADragonHoarding> ...presents eve?

16:39 <Thelema5> The world is round and spinning

16:39 * Finwe doffs his hat.

16:39 <Jahnesta> Nevermind about it

16:39 <Jahnesta> x3 it's here too

16:40 <Finwe> When does Sinterklaas bring the presents?

16:40 <Jahnesta> Are there countries where it's the 6th already

16:40 <Jahnesta> Saint Nick for all you English ponies

16:41 <Finwe> There are some GMT+13 countries.

16:41 <Jahnesta> Wut now?

16:41 <ADragonHoarding> Sinterklaas brings thing o'ernight between 24th and 25th traditionally in US of A

16:41 <Thelema5> It's 5:41 AM Dec. 6t in Auckland right now XD

16:42 <Jahnesta> You know him as Santa

16:42 <ADragonHoarding> Aye.

16:42 <Jahnesta> And Thelema5 :0

16:42 <Starlight_Glimmer> What

16:42 <Jahnesta> But he is kinda different

16:42 <Jahnesta> He comes with a steam boat

16:42 <Jahnesta> And lives in a bit of a warmer place then the North Pole

16:43 <Finwe> and is accompanied by Zwarte Pieter

16:43 <Jahnesta> Zwarte Piet yeah

16:43 <Starlight_Glimmer> Sint-Nicolaas and Jesus Christ are not the same person

16:43 <Jahnesta> No way!

16:43 <Starlight_Glimmer> The later is supposed to bring presents on the 24th/25th

16:43 <Jahnesta> That's Santa right?

16:44 <Finwe> And Christkind.

16:44 <Jahnesta> Maybe he's Jesus, just older

16:44 <Jahnesta> I mean, he aged pretty well if that's the case

16:44 <Jahnesta> :P

16:44 <Starlight_Glimmer> (depending on your region it's either the evening of the 24th or the morning after)

16:45 <Jahnesta> Saint Nick is kinda our Santa

16:45 <Starlight_Glimmer> We'd traditionally say "Christkind" over here as Finwe pointed out

16:46 <Jahnesta> So Santa is Jesus? x3

16:46 <Starlight_Glimmer> Of course Finwe's culture must be a cheap rip off :3

16:46 <Jahnesta> Santa is Jesus confirmed oWo

16:46 <Jahnesta> Then we have a rip off Santa

16:46 <Schism> Santa is Odin.  o3o;

16:46 <Thelema5> ^

16:46 * Schism listens to the hooves of Sleipnir on the rooftops.

16:47 <Thelema5> Christmas is primarily a pagan solstice holiday

16:47 <Jahnesta> Isn't he the very first version of "Black Pieter"?

16:47 <Starlight_Glimmer> The Coca-Cola Company I guess is to blame for the confusion of Sinterklaas and the "Christkind"

16:48 <ADragonHoarding> Yeah, no, Santa's not Jesus.

16:48 <Jahnesta> A scary black creature or something

16:48 <Finwe> Krampus the Christmas Devil ftw.

16:48 <ADragonHoarding> Santa's origins lie squarely with Saint Nicholas, who was a real actual person.

16:48 <Jahnesta> Or maybe that's what he wants you to think

16:48 <Jahnesta> Yup

16:48 <ADragonHoarding> Known for his generous nature and etc.

16:49 <Jahnesta> The Saint of turky I think

16:49 <Jahnesta> I don't know the English words for "Bisschop" and "Turkije" sorry

16:49 * Schism offers Finwe a plush Yule Cat.

16:49 <Thelema5> Saint Nicolas certainly didn't live at the north pole and fly a magical sleigh

16:49 <Jahnesta> :P

16:49 <Jahnesta> Yeah... I doubt it

16:49 <ADragonHoarding> Also I don't think it'd be accurate to call Christmas PRIMARILY a pagan solstice holiday. Given it currently isn't.

16:50 <Schism> The Yule Cat wanders around and eats people who don't receive new clothing around the Christmas time.

16:50 <Jahnesta> You made that up, didn't you? :3

16:50 <ADragonHoarding> Current era is primarily a commercialized secular holiday, with varying levels of individualized familial celebration.

16:50 <Schism> Jahnesta: ...Noooo?

16:50 <Thelema5> Meh, all of the popular trapping of the holiday are such as tree worship, feasting, hanging mistletoe, etc

16:51 <Finwe> ADragonHoarding: At least it doesn't have anything to do with the birth of Jesus.

16:51 <Schism> Jahnesta: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/each-christmas-icelands-yule-cat-takes-fashion-policing-extreme-180961420/

16:51 <ADragonHoarding> Finwe: as part of the individualized familial celebrations, it certainly does and can.

16:51 <Starlight_Glimmer> Sweet Luna I can't read and listen to my audio book at the same time

16:51 <Finwe> It was placed where it is to christianise the Yule, the feast of the winter solstice.

16:51 <Starlight_Glimmer> I missed like 10 minutes :D

16:51 <Librarian> acck

16:51 <Finwe> Jesus was born in January.

16:51 <ADragonHoarding> Regardless of the actual date of Christ's birth, Christmas was designated to celebrate it.

16:51 <Librarian> boss lady feels sick

16:52 <Librarian> i tried to follow her but she went a different way

16:52 <Thelema5> Because it coincided with the popular yule holiday which celebrated the rebirth of the sun

16:52 <Jahnesta> You actually didn't Schism

16:52 <Jahnesta> o3o

16:52 <Starlight_Glimmer> Finwe: Nor was he born 2017/2018 years ago

16:52 <ADragonHoarding> Yep. And the point of that date was the church leaders giving the Christians something to celebrate at a time of celebration

16:52 <Jahnesta> It just seemed pretty random

16:53 <Schism> Well, many holidays are random in their observance.

16:53 <Jahnesta> XD

16:53 <Schism> Iceland has some really awesome tales, too.  :>

16:54 <Thelema5> Right.  So while the celebration of Christmas may to to pay truibute to the christ-child, the holiday itself is much older and steeped in pagan symbolism

16:54 <Finwe> Likewise, St. Johnsmas, Easter and St. Michaelsmas have been strategically placed on German equinox/solstice feasts in order to supersede them.

16:54 <Jahnesta> Brb

16:54 <Finwe> s/GermN/Germanic/

16:54 <ADragonHoarding> To an extent. Thing is, if you call it christmas

16:54 <ADragonHoarding> as opposed to the solstice celebration...

16:54 <Thelema5> A rose by any other name

16:55 <ADragonHoarding> Ehhh

16:55 <ADragonHoarding> It's more like the difference between breeds of horse.

16:55 <ADragonHoarding> An Arabian is not the same as an Appalachian, even if they're both horses.

16:56 <Thelema5> Point is, Santa Claus is a giant nordic fur-covered magical flying deity given the name of a turkish saint

16:56 <ADragonHoarding> ...nordic flying deity? what?

16:56 <Schism> Mr. Wednesday.  o3o

17:54 <Cepheid> 76% this time.

17:54 <Cepheid> So B+.

17:55 <Cepheid> Might have been a bit higher had I studied. XD

17:55 <Ali> So Cepheid, how do you help kittens with a thunderstorm?

17:55 <Cepheid> That, I can't answer.

17:55 <Librarian> music

17:55 <Librarian> hugs

17:55 <Cepheid> Because there's nothing that truly "helps" with it, really.  Being close to the kitten when the storm is happening helps, but..

17:56 <Cepheid> Even then, it may not work.  Spitfire still freaks out about storms.

17:57 <Thelema5> Try making a noise canceling space of some sort, like a cardboard box draped with heavy blankets and see if that helps?

17:57 <Cepheid> The things of note about this midterm though.. It was RIDDLED with errors.  At least 20+ corrections listed, so..  I'm not all that certain studying would have helped a lot.

17:57 <Librarian> boss lady had a bad case of burnout

17:59 <Librarian> not like that

17:59 <Cepheid> Gotta love sibling care.

17:59 <Cepheid> Oh?

18:00 <Cepheid> She's getting used to you then.

18:00 <Librarian> im tense myself

18:00 <Ali> Luna is yes, she's given me bonding licks each day now

18:01 <Ali> Tia is much more timid but I think she's making progress.

18:02 <Ali> Cepheid, I love watching them play with each other.  Makes me happy that I kept them together.

18:02 <Schism> Yus, tis indeed the best option, that.

18:03 <Sleepai> Ali - are they climbing you yet? X3

18:03 <Cepheid> I wish I could have kept Spitfire and at least one of his siblings together.

18:03 <Cepheid> But my parents don't want more than two cats in the house.

18:03 <Ali> Not yet Sleepai, they're still young kittens

18:03 <Thelema5> I had two brother cats once... they got along very well but sadly one died and left the other very depressed

18:03 <Cepheid> ... Might have created less trouble for us had we taken one of the siblings.

18:03 <Ali> Aww

18:03 <Thelema5> The surviving brother never really got over it

18:04 <Ali> Well this is the first time out of 3 cats I've had siblings

18:04 <Sleepai> I want a kitten again.

18:04 <Cepheid> Spitfire wants to play with Tizzy, but Tizzy wants nothing to do with Spitfire for the most part.  The two play fight every now and then rarely, and spend time looking outside together, but that's about it.

18:04 <Ali> These are cat 4 and 5

18:04 <Cepheid> Let's see..

18:04 * Filly_Nightmares has a doggo

18:05 * Thelema5 counts his cat legacy... I think I'm on number 8 & 9

18:05 <Cepheid> First cat I remember was an orange tabby called Garfield.  Dad and sister don't remember him for some reason, but my mother does.  Then we got Pepper from one of my mother's friends.  Followed by finding Simba out in a snow-covered field outside of my grandmother's current residen-  ... Has she really been living in that apartment for over 18 years now?

18:05 <Cepheid> In any case..

18:05 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Equestria Girls: A Friendship to Remember Book Released Today  [ http://tinyurl.com/y7yo9twy ]

18:05 <Thelema5> Wow.  That's an old cat

18:06 <Cepheid> My sister moved out, adopted a cat, and brought him back when she moved back in with us.  That was Neko.

18:06 *** Joins: Cobalt_Blitz (Cobalt@Pony-39pn3u.res.rr.com)

18:06 <Thelema5> A cat named cat?

18:06 <Ali> Some people do that

18:06 <Cepheid> Neko went first, due to urinary tract issues.  Then Pepper, because a stroke crippled him.

18:06 <Cepheid> Then Tizzy came into the household after that.

18:06 <Schism> Remember, the three-headed dog of the underworld is named Spot.

18:06 <Ali> UTI?  Sounds like Calico?

18:07 <Ali> Oh no

18:07 <Cepheid> Ali:  I don't recall what he was.  But there was something wrong with him to begin with.

18:07 <Cepheid> He was extremely timid.

18:07 <Ali> Calico's end usually in kidney failure

18:07 <Cepheid> Like, UNBELIEVABLY timid, he was also an outdoor cat.

18:08 <Thelema5> The only calico I had was a mean cat.

18:08 <Cepheid> We made his last year of life the best he ever had, but yeah.  One UTI, bladder grew to painful size.  They drained it, gave him meds.  Few weeks later, an unexplained growth in the urinary tract.

18:08 <Ali> Ah yes, this isTai showing her cat sdie.  Playing with the tag of the item instead of the item itself.

18:08 <Librarian> found the boss lady

18:08 <Librarian> she resting in my library

18:08 <Cepheid> Anyhow..

18:08 <Ali> My lord the typos there X.x

18:08 <Cepheid> Tizzy moved in.  Followed by losing Simba to dementia a few years later.

18:08 * Ali brushies Cepheid and Thelema5

18:08 <Cepheid> A few days after that, Spitfire.

18:09 <Ali> Which one is the full black cat?

18:09 <Cepheid> Spitfire.

18:09 <Cepheid> Arguably, the fact that he came in a few days after Simba disappeared is probably why there's friction between him and Tizzy.

18:09 * Ali nods

18:11 <Cepheid> Anyhow, that's where we are now.

18:11 <Cepheid> We also kind of "own" an outdoor cat in a sense.

18:11 <Cepheid> There's an orange cat that comes by this house every single night.

18:11 <Ali> Is that the one that makes the ton of noise?

18:12 <Cepheid> Dunno.  He causes Spitfire and Tizzy to go into a bit of a frenzy though.

18:12 <Schism> The most imaginatively named cat.

18:12 <Cepheid> Schism:  I don't know what his actual name is.  He's orange in colour.

18:12 <Cepheid> His head actually reminds me of a tangerine/orange/etc as well, for some reason.

18:12 <Schism> I know, I know.

18:13 <Cepheid> But yeah, every evening he comes by the patio door, sitting on the other side, and just gets comfy.

18:13 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, Tizzy and Spitfire start growling or yowling, and occasionally go into a frenzy where they try to attack the cat.

18:14 <Cepheid> And he just stays there, all comfy.

18:14 <Cepheid> If it wasn't for the obvious fact that he doesn't look like he's starving or malnourished, I'd assume he was a stray cat.  I've seen him at all times of the day, so either he's left outside with food and water, or...

18:15 <Ali> Awww

18:15 <Ali> Pft Cepheid

18:16 <Ali> Tia had a paw in my shoe when I looked at her

19:45 <Finwe> They had a nation-wide doping program.

19:46 <Finwe> Supported by the Ministry of Sports.

19:46 <Schism> That's less 'political' and more 'wow, you're cheating like mad, goodbye'.

19:46 <Schism> Well, less political on the Olympic staff's.

19:46 <Schism> Somewhat more political on the side of the State Department, who were ensuring that they were seen as superior to all others.
