2012.11.15 13:00 - Lukey's Quiz Hat

Wol Euler was guardian for this session. Unfortunately the Hat doesn't show up in the autologging dtabase, and I don't have access to my chatlogs on this computer. I will return to this to add in the Hat's lines.

Wol Euler: hello mick
Mickorod Renard: hiya
Wol Euler: how's life?
Mickorod Renard: ok thanks,,a bit of flu
Mickorod Renard: so feeling a bit grot
Wol Euler: awww
Wol Euler: there's a lot of that going around at the moment
Wol Euler: here too
Mickorod Renard: yes?..hopefully it will pass
Mickorod Renard: I was gonna get the flu jab (innoculation) last weekend
Wol Euler: I usually do, haven't done this year and now probably won't.
Mickorod Renard: how are you?
Wol Euler knocks on wood. "Fine, thanks"
Mickorod Renard: great!
Mickorod Renard: have you seen Alf lately?
Wol Euler: only once since the debate
Wol Euler: he came to a session, didn't say much

Wol Euler chuckles.

Wol Euler: mmhmm
Wol Euler: force majeur I could excuse :)
Mickorod Renard: I needed a break for a week
Wol Euler smiles.
Wol Euler: do tell
Mickorod Renard: one thing for sure,,you dont have to go hunting for restaraunts when u r on one
Mickorod Renard: or making beds and so forth
Wol Euler grins.
Mickorod Renard: so it was a nice break
Wol Euler: did you have a window?
Mickorod Renard: yes
Wol Euler: because I gather that many cabins do not
Wol Euler: at least on some ships
Mickorod Renard: but it was just a transatlantic crossing,,so not much to see
Wol Euler: oh wow
Wol Euler: okay, tell me more :)
Mickorod Renard: yes?
Wol Euler: you sailed across the atlantic and then flew back?
Mickorod Renard: ok,,well,,i searched for a nice break and couldnt find one,,the prices were hyped up because of school holidays
Mickorod Renard: and then I spotted this cruise
Mickorod Renard: it was fly to new york,,get there in the storm
Mickorod Renard: and then sail out el pronto
Mickorod Renard: it was force 11 but it was a good ship
Wol Euler: o.O
Mickorod Renard: and I spent much of my time dancing with wife,,so that was nice
Wol Euler smiles.
Mickorod Renard: Hi San
Wol Euler: hello san
Santoshima Resident: hi Mick and WOl
Mickorod Renard: it was slightly diferent to the huge flat bottomed ships that do the cruises as this was a propper transatlantic ship,,with a great hull

--BELL--

Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: even so, I think I'd be terminally seasick all the time
Wol Euler: hello lukey
Mickorod Renard: one thing that struck me was sailing for 6 or 7 days without seeing land and that during the ww2 the convoy ships must have taken much longer,,how they coped with the threat of being sunk defies me
Wol Euler nods.
Mickorod Renard: hi Lkey
Santoshima Resident: greetings lukey
Wol Euler: well, the explorers would set off knowing they'd be away from home for three to five years
Mickorod Renard: yes, amazing wasnt it,,like for cook or adams etc,,magellan
Wol Euler: even up to the time of Darwin, 150 years ago. I think he signed up for 18 months away
Wol Euler: "like a prison sentence, with the added risk of drowning", as Dr. Johnson said

Wol Euler: word of advice, if I may: 20 seconds is too long, people might cheat by googling in that time
Wol Euler: not taht any of us would do that *cough*
Wol Euler: but other people might.
Mickorod Renard: erherm
Lukey Woodget: thats why i do the questions that have many answers
Wol Euler: perhaps make it 5 seconds? long enough to read, but not long enough to google
Wol Euler: oh, I see
Mickorod Renard: good fun
Lukey Woodget: it is hard in the modern age to do quiz
Lukey Woodget: with google
Lukey Woodget: it becomes the fastest googler
Mickorod Renard: yes, and if u have a fast pc too,,and connection
Wol Euler nods.
Lukey Woodget: picture questions can overcome this
Wol Euler: or you do without the pause, and just accept that slow readers are going to be at a disadvantage
Lukey Woodget: i have thought about all angles
Mickorod Renard: yes, a compromise
Lukey Woodget: people who are slow at google
Lukey Woodget: are disadvantaged
Korel Laloix: google sucks anyway.
Korel Laloix: far better opttions out there.
Lukey Woodget: but the many answers quiz works quite well
Wol Euler nods.
Mickorod Renard: yes
Lukey Woodget: i find google kind of points you to a serfing cind of thing
Lukey Woodget: like it takes you of corce
Korel Laloix: For me Dogpile works best.
Korel Laloix: It cuts through a lot of the paid searches.
Mickorod Renard: never heard of that Korel
Lukey Woodget: how many times have you been on youtube and ended watching something you never wanted to watch
Mickorod Renard: lots
Korel Laloix: dogpile.com
Korel Laloix: it is a meta search engine.
Mickorod Renard: I will try that Korel, thanks
Wol Euler: oh but that is what youtube is for :)
Wol Euler: it's a distraction engine
Wol Euler grins.
Mickorod Renard: thats an interesting point Wol
Korel Laloix: Cut cat vids are the worst
Lukey Woodget: its better than tv though
Mickorod Renard: what is it distracting everyome from and who wants us distracted?
Korel Laloix: But then again, one of m brothers finds the fishing vids addictive.
Wol Euler: I use it as a jukebox when I'm at work

arabella Ella: can you describe what it is as i cannot open another window either
Wol Euler: an idea ;)
arabella Ella: and actually i could not google the questions either :)
Wol Euler: make presents by decorating plain chinawear with a sharpie pen
Wol Euler: which you can then make permanent by baking the cups or plates in the oven
Mickorod Renard: thats a good idea
arabella Ella: ehrm what is a sharpie pen?
Lukey Woodget: I have made some it works realy well
Wol Euler: brandname, a fine-pointed marker pen
arabella Ella: oh
arabella Ella: cool
arabella Ella: so if you write on chinaware and bake it in oven it marks permanently?
Lukey Woodget: yes but it has to be a sharpie
arabella Ella: that particular brand?
arabella Ella: (never heard of it!)
Lukey Woodget: they are sold in most shops
Lukey Woodget: stationary
Lukey Woodget: around the world
arabella Ella: small market here you dont get everything
Lukey Woodget: ebay has them for a cheep cost
Lukey Woodget: fun for the kids to do you know
arabella Ella: mmmm
arabella Ella: i dont wish to sound argumentative but sometimes on e bay the postage is 2 or three times the cost of the item
arabella Ella: never mind
arabella Ella: i could try it with other permanent markets see if it works
arabella Ella: markers
Lukey Woodget: it might work
arabella Ella: yes
Lukey Woodget: its well worth a try
Wol Euler nods.
arabella Ella smiles
Lukey Woodget: all you have to do is a small test on a mug
arabella Ella: yes
Mickorod Renard: I may try it for fun,,and also maybe a school project
arabella Ella: or on some extra saucers that accumpulate when cups break
arabella Ella: accumulate
Lukey Woodget: you have to bake it in the oven for 30 mins
arabella Ella: ok
Lukey Woodget: but be cairfull
arabella Ella: nice cos you can personalise stuff
Mickorod Renard: yes?
Lukey Woodget: ceramics are hot
arabella Ella: be careful?
arabella Ella: use oven gloves?
