[gentoo-user] IRC active time?

[gentoo-user] IRC active time?

[Pandu Poluan]

Anyone here knows at what time the Gentoo IRC channels are usually active?

In UTC, if possible :)

(Still can't wrap my head around USA time zone codes)

I'd like to commission a survey of, say, MS, google, and Oracle, to see who is
wearing a wrist-watch, and who isn't -- and then sort them by job description.

I predict that the ones with no wrist-watch are the one who are....well, I'll
wait for the survey to be done before I announce my prediction.

Downhill fast, probably :)  Back in the day before cellphones, you needed to
look a clock or wrist-watch to know what time it is.

Back then I was surrounded by genuine programmer geeks, and I noticed that none
of them wore a wrist-watch.  I asked one of the geeks why he didn't have a watch
and he replied "Why would I want to know what time it is?  I can tell what time
it is by how fast the mainframe responds when I hit carriage return."

Another one showed up on most days wearing mis-matched socks.  When asked why
he did this he replied, "Why? Does it matter?"

Well, I still can't answer his question...

I've got a bunch of those of my own :-)

Q: Alan, why do you wear those great big motorcycle boots and 
protective trousers all day in the office, even to meetings?
A: It's cold.

Q: What are your working hours?
A: 12 per day on average. No guarantees on *which* 12

Q: Holy shit, I can't believe you just sent that mail to ALL users. 
Legal will be all over us now having hissy fits. Have you got a god 
complex or something????
A: [beams with genuine pride] why, thank you!


I reckon my head is just wired different to most folks <shrug>

Hey, I'm also wearing mis-matched socks right now :) But of course I
always wear a wrist-watch. A digital one.

It sure gives a lot more combinations of clothes.

I have 2 cellphones, yet I still wear my Timex wrist-watch proudly :-)

(Much more practical to glance at my wrist than fishing out the cellphone)
