jurov: blogging... i tried to write something and it felt too stupid immediately the next day
nubbins`: Mr Cotton says the staff refused to tell him how much he could have: "So I wrote out a few slips. I said, 'Can I have £5,000?' They said no. I said, 'Can I have £4,000?' They said no. And then I wrote one out for £3,000 and they said, 'OK, we'll give you that.' "

jspiros: I am in the same position as pankkake, I am tired of webdev and wish people would pay me to write CLI/TUI apps
kakobrekla: i think it would be better if its inbrowser faked cli
pankkake: kakobrekla: well I do write CLI interfaces to talk to websites
pankkake: NOPE: http://i.imgur.com/x6fW07R.png
