[07:52:05]  <nathanpc> good morning everyone
[08:11:07]  keysuke (~autiss@38.45.72.78) left IRC (Ping timeout: 264 seconds)
[08:12:12]  <sizeofcat> heya
[08:25:20]  <nathanpc> yay my favorite internet cat!
[08:25:27]  <nathanpc> how are things going?
[08:26:15]  <sizeofcat> excellent, i baked a windows 2000 vm i use on my ibook, crammed with useful stuff 😃 https://sizeof.cat/notes/u/1761797217.png
×

[08:26:49]  <nathanpc> that windows 8 low color version wallpaper haha
[08:26:55]  <sizeofcat> 😃
[08:27:23]  <nathanpc> never thought of using VS2005 on win2000
[08:27:25]  <sizeofcat> visual studio 2005 actually works in 300MB of ram
[08:27:49]  <sizeofcat> and works great even
[08:27:53]  <nathanpc> how well does it run on PPC?
[08:27:56]  <sizeofcat> how things changes, eh?
[08:28:06]  <sizeofcat> it runs quick, it's a 2k vm so it's great
[08:28:15]  <sizeofcat> xp vms struggle on ppc though
[08:28:20]  <nathanpc> nice
[08:28:47]  <sizeofcat> the biggest hurdle is after you install a .net update when mscorsw starts recompiling all the .net stuff
[08:29:02]  <sizeofcat> but once it finishes, it's very quick, everything starts instantly
[08:30:13]  <nathanpc> never thought cpu emulation as a thing that could be bearable haha
[08:30:22]  <sizeofcat> indeed, but it just works 😃
[08:30:36]  <sizeofcat> and now i have a windows vm to test stuff
[08:30:49]  <sizeofcat> imagine finding the right cygwin 😃
[08:30:59]  <nathanpc> lol that's always fun
[08:31:10]  <sizeofcat> and mintty is not working on 2k, obv, so i had to dig a special putty
[08:31:17]  <nathanpc> but the time machine says which version works where doesn't it?
[08:31:26]  <sizeofcat> not even bash is working, but zsh flies
[08:31:37]  <nathanpc> lol zsh working where bash doesn't
[08:31:40]  <sizeofcat> it does if you know about the time machine
[08:31:44]  <sizeofcat> that's something, right? 😃
[08:31:53]  <nathanpc> ahhh yeah...
[08:32:10]  <nathanpc> I thought everyone knew about the time machine lol
[08:32:24]  <nathanpc> maybe I shouldn't assume and add it to the links section of my website
[08:32:39]  <sizeofcat> you should!
[08:32:49]  <sizeofcat> also, you know what's funny? oh-my-zsh works
[08:33:07]  <nathanpc> lol omz working on windows 2000...
[08:33:27]  <nathanpc> under ppc nonetheless haha
[08:33:31]  <sizeofcat> haha, exactly
[08:33:41]  <sizeofcat> it's like a frankenstein ibook now
[08:35:40]  <sizeofcat> i was tempted to do 2k datacenter and host my website on it, but that's your domain 😃
[08:35:58]  <nathanpc> ohhh
[08:36:02]  <nathanpc> now that's a nice idea
[08:36:43]  <nathanpc> maybe I should rewrite the website in Classic ASP and throw in some SQL Server just because
[08:36:50]  <sizeofcat> !!!!
[08:36:53]  <sizeofcat> please
[08:36:58]  <sizeofcat> i can only get so erect!
[08:37:02]  <sizeofcat> DO IT!
[08:37:05]  <nathanpc> lol
[08:37:21]  <sizeofcat> asp in 2025?
[08:37:31]  <sizeofcat> if you do that, i'll make my site JSP
[08:37:47]  <nathanpc> I have this internal conflict, I love UNIX, but for some reason I resonate with old Windows crap
[08:37:52]  <nathanpc> I guess it's nostalgia
[08:37:56]  <sizeofcat> haha, i know the feeling, yes
[08:38:02]  <sizeofcat> it's just cozy
[08:38:19]  <nathanpc> maybe I should just embrace Microsoft's warm hug
[08:38:26]  <sizeofcat> childhood and stuff, reminds you of better days with endless night and endless possibilities 😃
[08:38:32]  <sizeofcat> *nights
[08:38:43]  <nathanpc> sizeofcat: If you rewrite yours in JSP I promise I'll rewrite mine
[08:38:52]  <sizeofcat> yeah, i even like steven ballmer so i'm halfway there, lol
[08:38:59]  <sizeofcat> haha
[08:39:15]  <nathanpc> I'll even promise to ditch all my Perl and awk scripts that automate my website build
[08:39:26]  <sizeofcat> and use vbscript
[08:39:32]  <sizeofcat> you wouldn't dare!
[08:39:41]  <nathanpc> and rewrite them in VB or god forbid powershell
[08:39:45]  <sizeofcat> lul
[08:39:54]  <sizeofcat> i think that's illegal in several countries
[08:39:59]  <nathanpc> lol
[08:40:13]  <nathanpc> do we have deal?
[08:40:27]  <nathanpc> you can think about it
[08:40:28]  <sizeofcat> i don't know, might take a century to convert everything =))
[08:40:40]  <sizeofcat> will do!
[08:40:48]  <nathanpc> nah, it's just a static website generator, how difficult could it be? (tm)
[08:41:02]  <nathanpc> that's a deal then
[08:41:06]  <sizeofcat> *15 years later, i'm almost there*
[08:41:08] nathanpc shakes sizeofcat's hand
[08:41:14]  <sizeofcat> 😃
[08:41:16]  <nathanpc> paw*
