Wol Euler was guardian for this session.

Agatha Macbeth: Hello recorder
Agatha Macbeth: Shush, she's not here yet!
Agatha Macbeth: Looks like Wollie has overslept
Agatha Macbeth: And here she comes....
Wol Euler waves.
Agatha Macbeth: The dangerous Wollie :)
Agatha Macbeth: Morning QT :)
Wol Euler: hello invisible aggers and invisible qt
Qt Core: Hi all!
Agatha Macbeth: I grabbed the log to shut it up!
Agatha Macbeth: Yes it does seem slow again
Agatha Macbeth: But I see you both perfectly

--BELL--

Agatha Macbeth: Hm, I move my cursor one way and I look the other way strange
Wol Euler: O.O
Agatha Macbeth: Yoy'd think my head would follow it
Wol Euler: odd, that
Agatha Macbeth: Yeh
Wol Euler: perhaps the system thinks your mouse is moving behind you? try focusing on one of us
Agatha Macbeth: Nope still happens when I move it to you
Agatha Macbeth: And same with QT
Wol Euler: I don't see you moving
Wol Euler: very blue today, by the way.
Agatha Macbeth: Ah well, doesn't matter then!
Agatha Macbeth: Thank you
Agatha Macbeth: You are very red ;-)
Wol Euler smiles.
Agatha Macbeth: And QT is very brown, hm
Wol Euler nods.
Qt Core: :)
Agatha Macbeth: The colours of PaB
Wol Euler: indeed
Wol Euler: I was just thinking what a strange colour-wheel we would produce
Qt Core: almost time to change to summer attire ;-)
Wol Euler: yes, break out the light-weight uniform
Agatha Macbeth: I want to see you Captain Picard again :p
Agatha Macbeth: Hey i actually said Picard instead of Godard for once
Wol Euler cheers!
Agatha Macbeth: Always mix up my Jean-Lucs
Wol Euler: well they do look alike
Agatha Macbeth: Er
Wol Euler: (joke)
Agatha Macbeth: Quite
Agatha Macbeth pokes Wol in the ear
Wol Euler: ow
Agatha Macbeth: Scrambled
Agatha Macbeth: Anyway...
Agatha Macbeth: Wow QT quite a change
Agatha Macbeth: Now we are really colourful
Wol Euler: indeed! the log needs a photo of this
Qt Core: qt after a visit to India maybe ?
Agatha Macbeth: For sure
Agatha Macbeth: Actually you do look a bit Indian :)
Wol Euler: it looks a bit like primitive art, Navajo perhaps
Agatha Macbeth: I was thinking of a cave painting
Wol Euler: my first thought was of cave paintings, but they didn't have those varieties of horses, and they didn't do stylized suns
Qt Core: the shirt is a native american freebie
Wol Euler: snap
Agatha Macbeth: Snap
Wol Euler: aha!
Wol Euler: nice shirt, in any case
Agatha Macbeth: We did it again
Wol Euler smiles.
Agatha Macbeth: I love native american art
Qt Core: if you have 20 min to spare watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p98KAEif3bI
Wol Euler: what is that?
Agatha Macbeth: Ooh wonder what that is
Agatha Macbeth: Song maybe?
Qt Core: The Butterfly Circus, a short that was showed to me yesterday
Agatha Macbeth: Ah, sounds good
Qt Core: some would say inspiring
Agatha Macbeth likes inspiring
Wol Euler smiles.
Wol Euler: I'll hve a look at that afterwards, thank you

--BELL--

Agatha Macbeth: If I watch youtube at the same time as SL I will slow to a crawl
Wol Euler: I don't know how you could do that unless you had a second monitor attached
Wol Euler: and if that is the case, then we have identified why your system is so laggy :)
Agatha Macbeth: Old graphics and cpu I'm afraid
Agatha Macbeth: I'm here and that's all that matters
Agatha Macbeth: And I can see Wollie perfectly
Wol Euler cheers!
Agatha Macbeth: 7sm
Qt Core: gave your outfit Aga i'm imagining a steampunk monitor...
Wol Euler: ha, yes
Agatha Macbeth: Hehe
Wol Euler: lots of brass rivets
Agatha Macbeth: That would be good!
Agatha Macbeth: A PC like the tardis
Wol Euler: there's no real reason why PCs and laptops couldn't be pretty / handmade / persistent
Wol Euler: just swap out the innards when they are outmoded
Qt Core: beside price, that is ;-)
Wol Euler: perhaps the case could be made of ebony or semiprecious stone
Wol Euler: so like I said, no *real* reason
Agatha Macbeth: Right
Wol Euler smiles.
Agatha Macbeth: I think I saw one made of wood once
Wol Euler: because price is flexible, people happily pay more for things they think are worth more
Wol Euler: like Ferrari's
Qt Core: i would like to hide the pc, like in one of the desk drawers and see monitor/mouse keyboad on it
Wol Euler: why on earth pay the price of a dozen Fiats for a Ferrari?
Wol Euler: that would be better, yeah
Wol Euler: I keep the case under my desk at least, that is halfway there
Agatha Macbeth: It's the name you're paying for
Wol Euler: and the prettiness and the speed ;)
Wol Euler: but yes
Agatha Macbeth: Like a rolls royce
Qt Core: i can't stop myself from smiling when i see a ferrari trapped in traffic, like a cheetah between elephants
Wol Euler: heheh, yes
Wol Euler: or all the Americans who buy Porsches even though they can't drive faster than any Skoda
Wol Euler: which is actually not what you were just saying, qt, sorry
Qt Core: i was once going 150 kmh and was passed by a group of ferrari going at least 50 kmh faster (first and only time i went so fast)
Wol Euler: wow
Qt Core: speed limit on that road 110 kmh.... sorry
Wol Euler: ha
Wol Euler: as long as nobody got killed ...
Agatha Macbeth: Meep Meep ;P :p:P :p :P
Qt Core: very straight road, 9am on a morning and no one in sight (especially no police in sight)
Qt Core: sunday morning
Agatha Macbeth: Just as well

--BELL--

Qt Core: sometimes i think they should not build cars able to go let say 10% faster than the limits
Wol Euler: good idea
Qt Core: then ferrari will die but rolls royce and cadillac survive
Wol Euler nods.
Agatha Macbeth: Life in the fast lane
Wol Euler: there is no fast lane near any large city any more
Qt Core: but i would miss top gear test of new ferrari (i love how they love that)
Agatha Macbeth: Just as well
Wol Euler: it always amused and enraged me to drive on the English motorways, to see EVERYONE lined up in the fast lane, the other two lanes completely empty
Wol Euler: and all going at exactly the speed limit
Wol Euler: but not willing to let anyone overtake them
Wol Euler: thy didn't give a shit about speed, they just wanted to be first
Qt Core: only two difference in italy.... street side and not respecting the limit ;-)
Wol Euler: :)
Agatha Macbeth: Hmm
Qt Core: i often have to ignore it.... not to be hit in the rear
Wol Euler: is that not your experience, Aggers?
Agatha Macbeth: Of what?
Wol Euler: motorway driving, I thought that was what you were hmmmming about
Agatha Macbeth: Oh, dunno
Agatha Macbeth: I was thinking of the Eagles
Wol Euler: ah
Agatha Macbeth: Yah
Qt Core: the Eagles ?
Agatha Macbeth: Don Henley and all that
Agatha Macbeth: He was a hard-headed man, he was brutally handsome And she was terminally pretty She held him up and he held her for ransom In the heart of the cold, cold city He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude They said he was ruthless, said he was crude They had one thing in common they were good in bed She'd say, "Faster, faster, the lights are turnin' red" Life in the fast lane, surely make you lose your mind Life in the fast lane Are you with me so far?
Wol Euler smiles.
Agatha Macbeth: Not as good as Hotel California or Take it to the limit, but still...
Wol Euler: a fine tune
Agatha Macbeth: Fine tune...ha, like it
Wol Euler grins.
Agatha Macbeth: 'Can you fine tune my ferarri?'
Qt Core: goood for the stereotypical open car on usa interstates
Agatha Macbeth: 'Yes sir, right before you wrap it round a lamp post'
Wol Euler: :)
Agatha Macbeth: Funnily enough I only associate Ferarri with F1
Qt Core: would be good to add the google self driving car stuff to a ferrari... knight rider anyone ?
Wol Euler: oh yes :)
Wol Euler: hehehe
Agatha Macbeth: KITT
Hana Furlough's current display-name is "Hana".
Wol Euler: self-driving cars are a welcome idea
Wol Euler: any robot can drive better tahn most humans IMHO
Agatha Macbeth: Bill Gates will surely invent one
Wol Euler: hell, a canopener could drive better tahn some humans
Wol Euler: hello hana
Hana Furlough: hello all!
Qt Core: hi hana
Agatha Macbeth: The car that knows better than you where you want to go

--BELL--

Agatha Macbeth: Hello Hana
Qt Core: won't like microsoft in my car.... its products crash a little too often
Agatha Macbeth: :D
Wol Euler: heheheh
Wol Euler: actually you might be surprised to learn how many computers are already in your car
Wol Euler: any car less than say 5 years old is already almost entirely computer controlled
Wol Euler: only the wheel is entirely in your hands
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe just as well
Agatha Macbeth: How are you Hana? Haven't seen you in a long time
Hana Furlough: I'm good, thanks, and you?
Agatha Macbeth: Still yawning :p
Hana Furlough: : )
Qt Core: emergency auto braking system: http://www.break.com/index/closest-t...-dime-2409523/ (one of the scariest thing i've ever seen, especially the last part)
Wol Euler: "don't try this at home"
Agatha Macbeth: Or anywhere else
Qt Core: i'd like to see someone trying it at home...
Agatha Macbeth: Would need a a large drive
Agatha Macbeth: And good insurance
Wol Euler: one of the stately homes, perhaps
Agatha Macbeth: Well they could afford it
Agatha Macbeth: Anyways, time for shopping :(
Agatha Macbeth: No guardian meeting today is there?
Wol Euler: not sure
Qt Core: bye blue Agatha
Agatha Macbeth: Hehe
Wol Euler: wasnt ther one last week?
Agatha Macbeth: Think it was last week
Wol Euler: yeah
Agatha Macbeth: Snap
Wol Euler smiles.
Agatha Macbeth: See you later
Wol Euler: okay, shop well <3
Wol Euler: remember bertie
Qt Core: i need to go too
Wol Euler: bye qt, enjoy the day
Hana Furlough: bye qy and ag!
Hana Furlough: qt that is
Qt Core: bye Wol, bye Hana, have fun
Hana Furlough: : )
Wol Euler: how's a hana?
Hana Furlough: pretty good
Hana Furlough: and you?
Wol Euler smiles.
Wol Euler: pretty well too, a bit chilly today
Hana Furlough: in may?
Wol Euler: mmhmm
Wol Euler: it's been a strange winter/spring here
Wol Euler: constantly warming up and then cooling back off
Hana Furlough: sounds a bit like here
Wol Euler: I just checked, it's 12° outsice
Wol Euler: in mid-May
Hana Furlough: brr!
Wol Euler: yeah

--BELL--

Wol Euler: oh, I just remembered our conversation about the pigeon following you around
Hana Furlough: haha yes
Wol Euler: I've done nothing about that, sorry to say
Hana Furlough: no worries
Hana Furlough: it's the thought that counts : )
Wol Euler smiles.
Wol Euler: I'm sorry, I'm so hungry I can't think :)
Hana Furlough: oh dear!
Wol Euler: heheh
Hana Furlough: go get some breakfast!
Wol Euler: I shall have to get breakfast, yes
Hana Furlough: it was nice chatting with you!
Wol Euler: sorry to go off justt after you got here
Hana Furlough: not at all
Hana Furlough: i came late
Hana Furlough: enjoy your foods and catch you later!
Wol Euler: thank you :)
Wol Euler: have a great week, hana
