(23:25:48) fortyseventeen: hey mjl-, did you see root(3) as for what to call '/' ? (00:12:02) sea-gul1 left the room (quit: Remote closed the connection). (00:15:06) mjl-: fortyseventeen: did now. it doesn't say much except "root", does it? (00:18:38) fortyseventeen: pretty much (00:36:46) mennis left the room (quit: Client Quit).

(02:03:46) anothy_x: early graphics terminals. i missed the context, though. (02:05:21) bjorkintosh: context was http://ignorethecode.net/blog/2009/04/22/oberon/ (02:05:23) stu8ball: Yeah, and '/last -window #inferno bjork' wasn't too telling either. It was confusing. (02:05:23) bjorkintosh: oberon (02:05:58) anothy_x: that page says nothing about either. (02:07:58) bjorkintosh: hence my question :) (02:08:17) bjorkintosh: i guess he was referring to the old terminals... (02:08:19) anothy_x: but there wasn't a question. "yes, such things existed"? (02:08:53) bjorkintosh: i didn't know what blit and gnot were. (02:10:48) anothy_x: okay. in the future, if there's a many-hour gap between the statement and the thing you're responding to, "what is a blit and gnot?" is less confusing than "blit and gnot?". (02:12:18) stu8ball: The more confusing thing really was mennis bringing it up in the first place though. (02:12:28) stu8ball: I gather it was Re: the Oberon blog (02:12:34) stu8ball: but I can't link them in my mind. (02:12:38) stu8ball: Seemed very out of the blue. (02:17:11) bjorkintosh: haha (02:58:39) fortyseventeen left the room (quit: "beep").
