nerwengreen23:13:40 <Nerwen> hmm
23:16:42 <Megadeus-Away> hm?
23:17:03 <Nerwen> yep
23:17:17 <Nerwen> behold! I have pagemarked the chat
23:17:47 <Teyilia> ?
23:17:57 <Megadeus-Away> huh?
23:18:04 * Megadeus-Away sniffs the air.
23:18:07 <Megadeus-Away> I don't feel any different...
23:18:55 <Nerwen> it was an odorless chemical
23:19:05 <Megadeus-Away> haha.
23:19:09 <Nerwen> don't worry, when the end comes, it'll be swift and painless and you'll never know what hit you
23:19:19 <Megadeus-Away> gracias. *rolls eyes*
23:19:32 <Megadeus-Away> I'd hate for it to be a drawn-out death.
23:19:45 <Nerwen> hehe
23:19:59 <Megadeus-Away> But seriously, I'm not sure what you mean when you say you've "pagemarked" it. Is that like "bookmarking?"
23:20:09 <Nerwen> more or less
23:20:14 <Nerwen> so I can tell what part I've read to
23:20:40 <Megadeus-Away> huh. Interesting.
23:20:41 <Megadeus-Away> Tell me more?
23:21:34 <Nerwen> well, sometimes I read the chat without saying anything for a long time, because I'm doing other things
23:21:40 <Nerwen> it's helpful to know where I last left off
23:21:49 <Megadeus-Away> right.
23:21:54 <Nerwen> especially if a conversation is ongoing and fast
23:21:59 <Megadeus-Away> this is accomplished using Opera?
23:22:21 <Nerwen> uh
23:22:33 <Nerwen> no, it's accomplished by typing "hmm"...
23:22:36 <Megadeus-Away> hahaha.
23:22:49 <Megadeus-Away> and then scrolling up until you find the "Hmm?" xD
23:22:53 <Nerwen> ... yes..
23:23:01 <Megadeus-Away> DORK!
23:23:04 <Nerwen> what???
23:23:06 * Megadeus-Away cackles
23:23:08 <Megadeus-Away> nothing.
23:23:15 <Nerwen> I'm not the one assuming techno gadgets to accomplish the feat :p
23:23:22 <Megadeus-Away> Actually, it's a bit ingenious. I was hoping for something more... tech.
23:23:28 <Megadeus-Away> touche'.
23:24:10 * Sammi giggles.
23:24:32 <Nerwen> dork.
23:25:04 <Megadeus-Away> yeah, yeah. =D
23:25:36 <Sammi> There are all these cool Internet gadgets and things nowadays. I half-expected it was some new IRC client that let you establish bookmarks on certain points of the conversation.
I'm not sure what the above conversation says about today's techno generation gap, but I still find it amusing, so I thought I'd save it and share it. :D
23:16:42 <Megadeus-Away> hm?
