nubbins`: one of the reasons i come here
mircea_popescu: mike_c: or, more to the point, say trilema was actually running an ad slot (hint hint). << i'd rather buy, honestly.
nubbins`: i generally try not to brag about this around people who earn a living as "graphic designers"
nubbins`: i did a run of silkscreened posters yesterday and the client saw the design for the first time when he exchanged a wad of cash for them
mircea_popescu: shit. i thought i was excessive but 1mwh ?!
nubbins`: i'm in a rather enviable position, in that half the people i do work for just give me full artistic liberty
mircea_popescu: i have three holes in my wall about ten square inches total, wind blows through freely. i burned > 100kwh this month so far. they dun give a shit. thsi is normal here.
nubbins`: but did i "design" it?
nubbins`: i'm proud of it, and the bands who paid for it thought it was great
mircea_popescu: i guess i don't know my amphibians.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Nah, the thing I posted today is a toad, has warts
BingoBoingo: WAIT I BLOGGED HYPNOTIC TOAD IMAGE TODAY I RELIGULOUS LEADER
nubbins`: i thought we were all in agreement
nubbins`: someone says "yeah i'm a graphic designer", i get my list ready and ask them what their full name is
nubbins`: i blame all the "designers"
nubbins`: the more i work, the more i feel like the word "design" is a poor descriptor for what i do
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: That's for others. I like the "Bold Text, Bold Claims" approach to ad buying myself
mircea_popescu: mike_c sexual congress i hope.
BingoBoingo: I swear my first IRL bitcoin meetup might involve the next person who professes to have self published "The Book on Bitcoin" without the slightest familiarity with the Chicago Manual of style
mike_c: i'm too busy writing my book
mike_c: then it sounds like fun, which I don't have time for unfortunately.
pete_dushenski: fairmont or whatever, they have no idea how to make you feel like a king. they're too educated, too "i'm equal"
nubbins`: i ruptured an eardrum in colombia
AdrianoOliveira: BingoBoingo: thanks for the advice, I am familiar with irc and I am usually at bitcoin-otc, just didn't know the bitcoin-assets :-)
AdrianoOliveira: pete_dushenski: one of the mpex, i think
nubbins`: we rented rad bikes in amsterdam for i think 9 euro per day
AdrianoOliveira: pete_dushenski: I follow a link posted on a comment in one of the topics at bitcointalk
AdrianoOliveira: although it doesn't seem to be the right place, i came to check the channel, as i have never been in the channel before
mike_c: it's getting long. perhaps i'll post as pdf and call it a book.
nubbins`: i've seen people ask for advice on how to develop their personal brand
BingoBoingo: I plan on staying on the Illinois side of the river for a while, shit is getting serious
assbot: /jasiri_x FAA restricts aviation over /hashtag/Ferguson?src=hash...read the reason. I found this on the Federal FAA website http://t.co/cgIGlFPWWf
ben_vulpes: I'M FUCKING DOING IT
ben_vulpes: ;;8ball do i risk the rain biking back to the office from this client meeting?
nubbins`: "hello, i was just wondering if you have any positions available. thanks"
jborkl: BingoBoingo , ok i added the proper credit there
nubbins`: you know how many goddamn bitcoin i "made" and subsequently "lost" on that fuckin site?
mike_c: heh. i didn't see the end the other day, did venus manage to beat her?
BingoBoingo: mike_c: That's a good question. Prolly Cloudbet or Nitrogen sports. Maybe Anonibet? All I really do sports betting wise any more off of BitBet is penny bets on baseball and bigger bets against Serena according to the bet against Serena algorithm
nubbins`: man, i went to fedex to mail some coins and i had to fill out two goddamn enormous forms
mike_c: BingoBoingo: i'm looking for an example for a blog post. who is currently the 2nd best sports bitcoin betting site?
jborkl: sorry I was talking to someone else here
jborkl: let me correct that, he got it from you if I am reading that correct?
BingoBoingo: jborkl: lol you forgot to credit where petel got his idea from, and I mean so far its his only one
jborkl: ok, i will report in 30 days how the orange cat article is doing, filled with keywords and nonsense
asciilifeform: i confess i'm somewhat suspicious of anything which suggests to 'monetize' my site, which is more or less the polar inverse of 'monetizable' in the usual sense.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if you want to pay 10/mo to display 'lol cockz in white africa' i'm game...
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mike_c: but who and why would spend actual money on it, is a mystery << Pretty much all I'd spend money on is "lol, cocks" or "White Africa Future" (link to interracial gangbang) or perhaps some other mischeif...
asciilifeform: (have i turned everybody off yet?)
asciilifeform: i'm open to it, so long as serious money and i don't have to promise any kind of detectable result to anyone.
mike_c: hm. advertising successfully is hard but not impossible. i don't take this to mean loper couldn't be monetized effectively.
asciilifeform: lol, what do i need to smoke for this to make sense
asciilifeform: mike_c: must confess, i might submit to the indignity of ads on my site if it meant actual money
mike_c: i'm actually not doing it for the money. btcalpha isn't meant to be directly monetized.
mike_c: yes, well, i am not loper so i don't get to be picky :)
mike_c: but, i would say you are more likely to allow a text-only ad. perhaps not.
mike_c: or loper-os. i'd pay for that shit and say thank you for putting my text on your site.
jborkl: i only troll others, not my fellow assets members
BingoBoingo: Well, there's got to be a contingency for the end of the month with the Trilema buy's advertised end. The buy this space graphic looks pretty good, but... I mean this could devolve into -assets bloggers just trolling each other again
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: sorry, I don't quite understand that first line.
BingoBoingo: I mean ImageMagick generates the text ads anyway
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Suppose the venue's perspective where it's in the venue commits space X by Y pixels already. Seems bidding from people confident in a text ad and properly sized images would, eventually be a desirable situation. I imagine for you as well since... with a 1% house edge you've eventually got to get volume.
ben_vulpes: jurov: typeface would be the only knob i'd let venues twiddle.
thestringpuller: but hey what do I know, not like I worked in advertising or anything :P
ben_vulpes: jurov: i don't think it's hit the market yet.
thestringpuller: i'm thinking more moxie interactive
ben_vulpes: i was actually just pondering configuring this thing to serve ads styled to actually look good when displayed on each venue.
thestringpuller: if it's 1 font type it's not going to work long term but I guess we'll see
mircea_popescu: anyway i got a meeting so bbl.
ben_vulpes: if you want to spend more money more quickly, i can make that happen for you.
jurov: ben_vulpes: what is that your service everyone is talking about? i'm 10 days behind with the lawgs and your blog is dead
princessnell: i am a barbaric american monoglot, unfortunately :-/
mircea_popescu: hehe i had suspected that my and that band are tenuous.
princessnell: i'm walking a thin line as it is, trying to convert american millenial college grads into crimethinkers.
mircea_popescu: princessnell what i want to know is why isn't your cause using the tools of victory.
jurov: i was a week under the rock, what is the vulpine thing?
mircea_popescu: yeah ben_vulpes has a point. i think the entire appeal of the tomb raider chick was her being subversive.
HeySteve: I can ask my developer but he's still pretty busy with "WoTcoin" alpha
HeySteve: ok well I'm open to suggestions for handling that stuff more smoothly
mircea_popescu: which i expect you see as hand crafted word documents by you personally.
HeySteve: although maybe later I'll have single player versions on a website, so will need a little coding there
mircea_popescu: that much i gather.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: I think the point is he wants to expose people to his logo
mircea_popescu: cazalla 6781 total articles, 2567 in english. 1610 of these however are the result of me dumping the wikileaks trove back before wikileaks itself decided to publish documents (i only did stuff referring to bucharest, but it did force them to get their act together and a day later they released the cables). these don't appear in the random rotation (i imagine that's what you're doing) and so the numbers would be
nubbins`: but i gotta know what i'm trying to say before i start illustrating it :D
nubbins`: i suppose it's all "design"
nubbins`: i've got a feeling these "what is btc" posters are gonna be a big hit
nubbins`: i can only imagine it's assumed based on my brash demeanor
mircea_popescu: "i dunno, the color economies usually are"
danielpbarron: 10:19 <+kakobrekla> especially if F5 is remapped to shutdown. << one time, at a LAN party, I remapped someone's "W" key to suicide :D
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu> "so when the police approached you, why did you open fire ?" "i thought we were being invaded by aliens" "i see. fair enough. case dismissed" << THought it was the Chicoms invading
BingoBoingo: I guess I'm staying out of StL proper for a while
mircea_popescu: "so when the police approached you, why did you open fire ?" "i thought we were being invaded by aliens" "i see. fair enough. case dismissed"
mircea_popescu: i bet it was tlp.
mircea_popescu: pity we're not speaking romanian, ass is fund, i could have had some fun with it.
punkman: "So with Demo Day approaching, I'd like to make the following point explicit: Y Combinator has a zero tolerance policy for inappropriate sexual or romantic behavior from investors toward founders. Don't even think about doing it. I will find out. Y Combinator will not continue to work with you."
BingoBoingo: xmj: The would involve touching this filth moar, so I'm jsut not going to past more of it
mircea_popescu: the fact that i was here first, and i knew they'll show up, and i took speciffic and apparently effectual measures.
mircea_popescu: yeah. i don't credit the theory he's unaffiliated. basically there's this pile of idiots who perceive as the greatest impediment towards their brand of nonsense being accepted universally
pankkake: first time I've seen the word "disrupt" used in this context in months :p
