The Guardian for this meeting was No Self. The comments are by No Self.

Wol Euler: buongiorno Qt
Qt Core: Hi Wol
Wol Euler: This may be my favourite playgoda.
Qt Core: don't know, sometimes i like it somtimes it make me think about chlorine smell
Wol Euler: heheheheh
Qt Core: it is extremeli cam friendly (my main measure)
Wol Euler: I always have "ignore camera constraints" enabled anyway, so never any problems
Qt Core: yes, but walls are walls, you can't see through them
Wol Euler: okay, tthat's true, there are no solid walls here
Qt Core: for the first time in years i almost sad to go back to work after summer leave, almost an alien feeling for me
Wol Euler: awwwww
Wol Euler: can you identify what's different this year?
Qt Core: mostly as my sister wasn't insufferable about not wanting to be on summer leave, my mother (sadly ? yes) not anymore strong enough to be insufferable and having something to do/go (Expo)

--BELL--

Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: some changes are sad
Wol Euler: getting older can be quite sad
Wol Euler: or the consequences of getting older, I mean
Qt Core: you knoe there is only one solution against getting old and it is not a good one...
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: it remains better than all known alternatives
Qt Core: maybe cryogenics...
Wol Euler: I remember the Who singing "hope I die before I get old". I wonder how Roger Daltry feels about that song now that he is definitely old.
Qt Core: depend how old is read, in body or mind
Wol Euler: oh, I've been waiting for the bell to ring again
Wol Euler: that is true
Wol Euler: but sooner or later both are definitely old, or we die

Qt Core: when i've read the mail about a sl pic collection of some 25000 shot i laughed a little... thinking about mine that is made by 2, at most 3 pics and that i don't even remember where i've stored it
Wol Euler: :)
Wol Euler: I have far fewer than that, and the majority of them are of the fireworks at PaB birthday parties :)

--BELL--

Qt Core: (i still plan to see the pics sent, maybe on a better monitor than my phone (with which i usually read my mail nowadays)
Wol Euler still has her old Stupidphone
Qt Core: (it has its uses, i have one i used for a few months lately when annoyed with the smart ones and the battery time.... how nice)
Wol Euler smiles.
Qt Core: to be honest it is an half smart/half dumb one, some smart features (like reading mail and 4g connections) and some dumb ones (small screen and phisical keys, sadly it most has the defect of both and very few of the advantages (mostly the battery)
Wol Euler: hehehehehhe
Wol Euler: I will probably get an iPhone when this stupidphone dies, because by then my iPod will need replacing too
Wol Euler: and I can do both with one object
Qt Core: and it play very nice with macs (i presume ;-) )
Wol Euler: one can assume so
Wol Euler sighs.
Qt Core: ?

Wol Euler: summer is winding down, the days are already getting noticeably shorter
Wol Euler: fortunately the awful heat-wave has broken, mid-20s only here now
Qt Core: same here wonderful temps
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: summer need be no hotter than this as far as I am concerned
Qt Core: up to mid 30 if windy
Qt Core: but still mid 20 would be better
Wol Euler nods.
Qt Core: sadly most places in the world with nice climate have vulcans/earthquakes/wars
Wol Euler chuckles.
Wol Euler: or they have differently awful weather for half of the year

--BELL--

Qt Core: oh, right, monsoons
Wol Euler: summer in Saskatchewan (midwestern Canada) is wonderful, just like this, but the winter is snowy and -40°C and six months long
Qt Core: maybe a telecommute job, online shopping... could be done ;-)
Wol Euler: I love being there for a few weeks, but frankly when I think about *living* there all the time - shudder
Qt Core: i think i really started to dislike snow after a 9 hour/20km drive in it
Wol Euler: wow
Qt Core: i even get stuck in it... a few meters from my destination ;-)
Wol Euler: heheheh
Wol Euler: better there than in the middle of the countryside
Qt Core: having worked for so long in the same place the road is now marred with several bad memory (one can't really have good ones about a car commute)...
Wol Euler nods.
Qt Core: i need to go a little earlier, Wol
Wol Euler: okay
Wol Euler: take care, Qt, enjoy the day
Qt Core: so, have fun and bye
Wol Euler: you too!
