2008.09.23 07:00 - Parsing APAPB

This morning Riddle Sideways was Guardian on Call and has added the comments.

For the first 15 minutes I sat alone with the windchimes.  RL was being stressful, so the windchimes were a welcome calm.

Then Stevenaia entered.

stevenaia Michinaga: hello Riddle
Riddle Sideways: good morning stevenaia
Riddle Sideways: very quiet morning
stevenaia Michinaga: I am attempting to work and play at the same time day, to see if my productivity increases
stevenaia Michinaga: ...smile
Riddle Sideways: :)
Riddle Sideways: good because I am doing the same
Riddle Sideways: I made the mistake of reading some emails about error overnight
stevenaia Michinaga: I ahve begun to have my computer read me the recently meeting entries from the Wiki, so thought I'd do the same there, but you can;t ahve much of a conversation by yourself, can you

stevenaia Michinaga: what error overnight?
Riddle Sideways: oh I should do that too (have it read to me).
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, then I can listen while working

Riddle Sideways: oh, a software product I am releasing this week of course has bugs
stevenaia Michinaga: isn;t the the nature of software?
Riddle Sideways: I have been so busy with this release that I have missed most of PaB
stevenaia Michinaga: what sort of software is it if I can ask?
Riddle Sideways: I was trying to catch up on the wiki postings too
Riddle Sideways: it is a tablet and digital pen form filling application
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, a light schedule for yourself
Riddle Sideways: inspectors can walk around (out of network range) and take inspections
Riddle Sideways: then it all syncs when they come in range
Riddle Sideways: a boring subject, but very neat tech
stevenaia Michinaga: can;t be boring to those who need (buy) it
Riddle Sideways: right, they are thrilled
Riddle Sideways: no more paper
Riddle Sideways: no more double entry
Riddle Sideways: and they can do barcodes, camera pictures and rfid to speed things
stevenaia Michinaga: is this of product of your own creation or do you work for a software organiztion
stevenaia Michinaga: or both
Riddle Sideways: most times it is nice for me to visit subject areas that I would not otherwise have joined
Riddle Sideways: it is consulting
Riddle Sideways: an organization designer some paper forms that all members must use
Riddle Sideways: my client wanted it digitized and modern

stevenaia Michinaga: nice, like that movie where once you are done "consulting" they erase your memory so trade secrets don;t leave
Riddle Sideways: good morning Gaya
stevenaia Michinaga: hello Gaya
Gaya Ethaniel: _/!\_
Riddle Sideways: yes, each weekend I erase my previous week
Riddle Sideways: :)
stevenaia Michinaga: sounds like a bad hard disk to me
Riddle Sideways: but enough about me

Riddle Sideways: what is this APAPB stuff
stevenaia Michinaga: well, I;m sure focusing on work while being gardian takes some effort... I was jsut reading about that
Faenik is a hairy black ball with eyes and ears.
Riddle Sideways: thank you Faenik
Faenik: ^^
Riddle Sideways: I read some of the posts yesterday
Riddle Sideways: and tried very hard to go to sleep with it on my mind
Riddle Sideways: but, I forgot the second word :)
stevenaia Michinaga: yes,, I;'m sure with time and "practice" understanding of this will come
stevenaia Michinaga: like yogi, the movements are the same, just dificult in the begining to string them all together
Riddle Sideways: yes
Gaya Ethaniel hasn't quite understood APAPB yet...

Riddle Sideways: I am seeing the ways I am going at the process
Riddle Sideways: the sentence is a semi koan, puzzle and trick
Riddle Sideways: disecting and diagramming the sentence as a scientist would
Riddle Sideways: singing it as an artist would
Gaya Ethaniel listens for more...
Riddle Sideways: just being with it as a believer would
stevenaia Michinaga: seemto be the only way to begin, like a dance with your mind
Riddle Sideways: yes, listening for more as a ... would
Riddle Sideways: taking many starting points and watching where we go
Gaya Ethaniel is groping in the dark with APAPB concept still
Riddle Sideways: "groping" is a good word
stevenaia Michinaga: but at this point, reading about it may be the only way to understanding w/o some initial handholding or wiki for cheif guardian

Riddle Sideways: I can feel one word
Riddle Sideways: and reach for the next or another
Faenik loves wells!
Riddle Sideways: hearing splashs, but seeing nobody

Gaya Ethaniel thinks Riddle is wonderfully poetic

Ha, interrupted myself thinking I heard somebody in the moat, but nobody to say hi to. I ignore my interruption as if I was not there and continue.

Riddle Sideways: big stumbling block (for me) is putting Presentation and Appearance together
Riddle Sideways: Appearance as a presentation
Riddle Sideways: I see a powerpoint
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, what it means begins with it;s creator
Riddle Sideways: beaming on an overhead screen
Riddle Sideways: Being made a powerpoint slide
Riddle Sideways: it appeared
Faenik is a hairy black ball with eyes and ears.
Riddle Sideways: and I appreciate it's presence
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, should be interesting images
Gaya Ethaniel nods
Riddle Sideways: sorry, just PLAYING with the words
Gaya Ethaniel smiles

Riddle Sideways: working backwords works easier for me
Gaya Ethaniel: ah...
Riddle Sideways: going forward thru it goes smooth then trips me up
Gaya Ethaniel nods and nods
Riddle Sideways: of course I appreciate
Riddle Sideways: am always appreciating
Riddle Sideways: then appreciate the presence
Riddle Sideways: thatz easy too
Riddle Sideways: now appreciate the presence of appearance ...
Gaya Ethaniel: _/!\_
Faenik: indeed?
Riddle Sideways: hmmm almost

Riddle Sideways: good morning corvi
Corvuscorva Nightfire: hiya
Riddle Sideways: oh dear
stevenaia Michinaga: hello Corvu
Gaya Ethaniel: Gosh... siren made me do a typo!
Riddle Sideways: should not touch that sign
Gaya Ethaniel smiles
Corvuscorva Nightfire: mmm did i do it? which sign is it?
Riddle Sideways: the big sign
Gaya Ethaniel: Was fun
Riddle Sideways: is a trick siren
Corvuscorva Nightfire snorts.
Faenik is a hairy black ball with eyes and ears.
Riddle Sideways: when things get tooooo serious the siren alarms us back to play
Gaya Ethaniel: Moon made that siren IIRC

Riddle Sideways: new sounds?
stevenaia Michinaga: is my computer hissing?
Corvuscorva Nightfire: rain?
Riddle Sideways: wind? rain?
Gaya Ethaniel smiles... rain I rezzed
stevenaia Michinaga: a memory leak?
Riddle Sideways: thank you
Corvuscorva Nightfire: this pavilion leaks..
Riddle Sideways: no roof
Gaya Ethaniel laughs
Corvuscorva Nightfire: oh
Corvuscorva Nightfire shakes her hair.
Corvuscorva Nightfire: I'm all wet.
Riddle Sideways remembers that it rained here for several days last time
Gaya Ethaniel: That was me...
Gaya Ethaniel: Hope I can stop this one after the session :P
Corvuscorva Nightfire laughs at Gaya...
stevenaia Michinaga: will auto logging pick that up?
Faenik: Gaya is a real trouble-maker
Corvuscorva Nightfire nods to Faenik..."got that right"
Gaya Ethaniel: mm... not sure stevenaia
Riddle Sideways: Faenik is tooo frank
Faenik: WYSWYG Riddle
Riddle Sideways: auto-logging won't pick up sounds, only text
Gaya Ethaniel pouts
Faenik loves wells!
Corvuscorva Nightfire: Nawww...Faenik is just too cute. *tickles Faenik*

Riddle wonders when "Faenik The Movie" and action figures will be coming out.
Time to wrap it up and go out into the day.

Gaya Ethaniel: I will ponder about APAPB a bit more Riddle... need to gather some materials for excerpts so it's good we are talking about it more
Faenik: heheh
Riddle Sideways wonders where the rain drops are falling?
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, a slowww step by step...:)
stevenaia Michinaga: I must go now, nice to see the morning crowd for a change
Gaya Ethaniel: _/!\_
stevenaia Michinaga: see you soon
Riddle Sideways: looks like Pia has gathered some excerpts
Gaya Ethaniel: Good daya stevenaia
Corvuscorva Nightfire: Nice to see you, Stevenaia
Gaya Ethaniel nods
Corvuscorva Nightfire: Be well.
Riddle Sideways: ok, Stevenaia see you

Gaya Ethaniel: I'm making a single excerpt for YSBS, ESBS and APAPB atm
Corvuscorva Nightfire: oh thank you..
Corvuscorva Nightfire: that will be very helpful.
Gaya Ethaniel: Pleasure
Riddle Sideways: ah a noble and worthy task, Gaya
Gaya Ethaniel smiles
Gaya Ethaniel: Pia's idea though. She's a great project manager for sure
Corvuscorva Nightfire grins. It's good to have someone who likes to do such things, both manage projects and manage information.
Gaya Ethaniel: Time's up for me. Good to see you both. Have a fab day.
Gaya Ethaniel nods

Riddle Sideways: Gaya just raises her hand and the rain stops
Corvuscorva Nightfire: cya!
Corvuscorva Nightfire: Gaya has great powers...heheheh
Gaya Ethaniel smiles. Yep this time I take it away with me
Riddle Sideways: bye
Gaya Ethaniel smiles and waves
Faenik: bye bye
Riddle Sideways: I too must go
Corvuscorva Nightfire: bye, Faenik!
Riddle Sideways: bing... time is up
Gaya Ethaniel: _/!\_
Corvuscorva Nightfire: Take care, Riddle.
