[08:24:25] hello [18:25:47] hi bawolff [18:25:52] hey [18:26:19] bawolff: hope you don't mind if I ping you as a possible reviewer for some stuff [18:27:37] I don't mind, just keep in mind I may or may not actually review it (Basically I've taken a step back from the internet in general, so my mediawiki time is much reduced from what it used to be) [18:28:33] bawolff: sure, it's no obligation, I understand [18:29:35] bawolff: What sorts of things are you up to? I'm attempting to spend more internet-free weekend days (although right now I'm late on a deadline and will swivel back to that soon) [18:30:00] basically I got a summer job doing computer programming related things [18:30:15] which tended to make me do less computer related things in my free time [18:30:54] sumanah, i'm confused why you sent me that code review to do. [18:31:05] since it has nothing to do with me or any type of design. [18:31:22] jorm: hmm, let me look at what I've pinged you about, since there were a few things. Just a sec [18:31:42] * sumanah looks at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/reviewer:jorm,n,z [18:32:01] jorm: do you mean https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/11283/ ? [18:33:37] yes. [18:33:56] ok, looking [18:35:00] jorm: the associated Bugzilla issue & screenshot https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36773#c4 implied to me that there's some interaction design change here [18:35:37] yeah, no. [18:35:41] it's just a log line. [18:36:58] jorm: so, changing the My Contributions feature so that it also includes article feedback posts -- not really a change in the feature? [18:42:09] Not really, no. [18:42:22] it just creates a new type of log. [18:42:23] jorm: strikes me differently, but you're the boss [18:42:40] jorm: feel free to delist yourself as a reviewer [18:42:53] I ping reviewers as suggestions, not obligations [18:43:01] groovy. no worries. [18:43:10] jorm: most of the rest of the requests are reasonable, right? [18:43:38] jorm: and if there's a design-team group then I'd be happy to create a Gerrit group for you & them, so it's not all on your shoulders [18:43:59] people could ping the group to review design-related changes, spin them up on that new Labs instance, etc [18:44:28] the Localisation, Analytics, etc teams are doing the same thing, I think [18:46:35] bawolff: right, understandable. BTW remind me, do you like science fiction? Because you might like a novel my spouse just wrote [18:46:44] no one on the design team knows git/gerrit. [18:46:58] yes i do. Right now I'm reading a neal stephenson novel [18:47:05] and it would be a waste of time to get them into it. [18:47:20] erik and i are working on alternative systems. [18:47:38] jorm: ok. So, in the meantime, ping you to assign out these kinds of reviews? [18:47:46] yeah. [18:48:04] ok! [18:48:52] bawolff: oh, which one? I've read nearly everything of Stephenson's. .... My spouse's novel has 2 free chapters up now. http://constellation.crummy.com/ Roan really liked it. [18:49:36] the guy who married my wife and i is like, neal's best friend. [18:52:34] I'm reading ananthem right now [18:52:41] * bawolff bookmarks that page [18:53:08] bawolff: oh I loved Anathem! We will have to gossip about it once you are done. [18:53:19] my friend designed the martial arts form that the monks used in there. [18:53:44] here is my review of it: http://www.gaijin.com/2008/09/anathem-a-discussion/ [18:54:20] jorm: that's really cool (both the martial arts think and being married by his best friends) [18:54:45] he's also a partner in one of my extra-curricular activities (a game we're working on) [18:55:03] and he's the CTO of the subatai corporation. [18:55:25] an acquaintance of mine does martial arts with him. This is one reason she liked REAMDE better than I did. [19:02:26] * jorm had an advance copy of REAMDE. [19:02:48] * bawolff definitly wants to read that sometime [19:02:55] I've mostly read his earlier novels [19:02:58] bawolff: I was meh about it [19:03:06] bawolff: actually I was unhappy at great length [19:03:24] bawolff: if you liked his cyberthriller kind of stuff, the stuff he cowrote with his uncle (I haven't read those yet) then REAMDE is more like that [19:03:40] like Michael Crichton ripping off "For The Win" [19:03:41] I like cryptonomicon a lot [19:03:53] bawolff: yes, me too, Cryptonomicon changed my life [19:04:12] cyrptonomicon is probably my favourite book actually [19:04:40] :-) I think you might really like Constellation Games, bawolff [19:05:14] I also really liked Diamond age and snow crash as well [19:05:15] main character is a programmer who has to grow up, kind of like Randy Waterhouse [19:05:33] yup, same here. You noticed the skateboarder who's in both books? Blew my mind when I saw that :D [19:06:18] honestly, only after someone else told me about it, and then I had to go back and find her [20:01:24] what is the best way to obtain standard article url in js? [20:24:30] Danny_B|backup: mw.config.gt( 'wgArticlePath' ); or something along those lines?
