which kind of green do you have in there?

jackrusher10:03:22

This was Sencha, but I’ve moved on to Hōjicha by this time 🙂

reefersleep10:03:28

I see, a man of culture :face_with_monocle:

reefersleep10:03:41

TBH Sencha and those other "pure" green teas taste too grassy and maybe bitter for my liking. We drink green and white tea with fruits, berries and such mixed in here at home. Sweet teeth 🙂

I love me some pure green tee, especially different Chinese varieties. Sencha can be OK, but occasionally I get some that tastes a bit too fishy for my taste.

Haha, realizing that maybe it wasn’t the cool mug that you wanted to show, @U07SQTAEM 😃

pez10:03:53

In any case. What a wonderful mug!

jackrusher11:03:11

It was, indeed, the mug I wanted to share with my fellow old people. 🙂

We need a name! • Silver Clojurians • Clojurian Geezers • Grey REPLians • … Hmmm, maybe not. 😃

Oh it's Commodore? Or?

reefersleep12:03:25

I'm not that old 🙂 But I do like the design.

reefersleep12:03:23

My first gaming system was a NES, and my first computer had an Intel processor, I think.

reefersleep12:03:45

It wasn't a <brand name> computer, just a computer .

jackrusher13:03:41

@U0AQ3HP9U yeah, it’s the logo from around 40 years ago, when this one came out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_64

pez13:03:46

Pretty similar to the logo they used when they released the VIC-20.

pez13:03:00

Don’t ask me what kind of green is spilt on the cover. I don’t remember. It was 40+ years ago. Probably coffee. 😀

Some friends of mine had an Amiga or something like that, I couldn't really discern the machines at that point. I was soooooo jelly

pez13:03:30

Something like that… Could it have been an Atari ST? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_ST

reefersleep13:03:18

It might well have been 🙂 Actually I had two sets of brothers as friends, each had a machine, it might have been different ones. On one I remember playing Toki, on another, we played James Pond

reefersleep13:03:55

The Pond boys' father worked with computers, so they had lots of stuff + satellite tv. SOooooooo jelly!

pez14:03:22

Aha! That explains the comment from the audience at my Interactive Programing or Death talk where I showed this simulator: https://www.mdawson.net/vic20chrome/vic20.php “Actschually… that’s a C64”. I guess he must have meant the monitor?

morning folks

schmalz09:03:53

Morning all.

simongray10:03:56

it's a day off for me, but of course I happen to think of a solution to some problem I had yesterday and spend an hour or two implementing it :man-shrugging: didn't want those hammock insights to go to waste

I haven't done that much recently, but I've had a lot of "I'm in the zone now, so I can't go pee"ish situations

Rachel Westmacott14:03:00

The zone is a prison.

reefersleep14:03:53

A prison that you want to be in. A prison of the mind.

Daniel Craig16:03:42

'the zone' is something that I have a love/hate relationship with. It's so awesome to be super effective, but it's healthier to not be in the zone sometimes because that means that I'm more attentive to the other demands on me, including non-programming tasks, communication, and family demands since I'm work-from-home. If you stop communicating because you're in the zone, then often you'll do unnecessary work too.

seancorfield16:03:35

I'm currently taking every Friday off work, and it often happens that I wake up Friday morning with an overnight solution to a work problem... And it's tempting just to slide it in, even tho' I'm not working...

Finding/implementing solutions is not so bad work. It’s all the other stuff.

reefersleep10:04:50

@USDPTD3FY I feel you. I've been down a foolish path more than once because the trip felt good, and I didn't want to interrupt it to ask somebody if I was going in the right direction 😅 but I've rarely got time to dig down like that now. Also working from home, and generally very dependent on others in the big org I work in (and they're dependent on me = lots of phone calls), I'm training myself to be effective in spurts as well as deep dives.
