| From: Andrew Stein <steinlink@gmail.com> |
6:13 PM Andrew: yo
6:15 PM me: yo
talked to Charles Johnson the other night and he's totally interested in doing some dramatic, futuristic thing whereby we could utilize our social networking/next generation wik.reddit thing to, say, discredit bad pundits
6:16 PM he's also a coder himself
Andrew: gonna need a plan first
you know what makes good planning atmosphere
6:17 PM me: shut the fuck up
Andrew: christ man
I'm just trying to get you to come have a beer
6:18 PM why dont you leave your house anymore?
me: been busy
6:19 PM had to finish book
now doing all kinds of shit for this magazine
got a backlog of things to do regarding huffpo, etc
6:21 PM anywho
if we were to go with a simple, beta version of anarcho-syndicalist online entity
6:22 PM we could attach it to Little Green Footballs, which has ready access to tens of thousands of reasonable people since Charles Johnson has purged all actual conservatives
and Johnson could help with coding
and could recruit others to help as well
6:23 PM in other news
I've got tropico 3
and steam
and can now play tf2 again
6:24 PM would kevin be interested in going to a couple of high-end events every once in a while in capacity of photographer?
6:25 PM Andrew: kevin's in texas until next week
I sent him your message
me: groovy, thanks
6:28 PM Andrew: you should skip tropico and come have a few beers instead
whenever you decide to leave your apartment, im buying
6:31 PM me: soon enough
you've got to understand that I'm actually extraordinarily busy for the first time in my life
and now have two girlfriends, basically
and so many projects going on that it's ridiculous
6:32 PM I haven't even had time to play Tropico yet, if that tells you anything
6:43 PM me: hey
6:44 PM how difficult would it be to stick a video widget on a website such that YouTube clips could be embedded
and such that archives could be cycled through by way of two little buttons below the widget?
Andrew: youtube videos are embeddable and have their own cycle buttons
6:45 PM so trivially
me: how long would it take?
6:46 PM I'm trying to get this guy to do it for us but want to know what he'd have to put in in terms of time and effort
Andrew: as long as it takes you to upload a video to youtube and copy/paste the embed html
it would take about 10 seconds, and you are retarded to ask anyone to do it for you
6:49 PM me: will you do it?
Andrew: I would
but theres no hyperbole here
6:50 PM it is exactly a process of copy and paste from the youtube page
me: hold on, I'm going to call you
