Pooch is gone, but hasn't forgotten

Sadly, Pooch bolted for greener pastures recently -- to be nearer to his beloved Chili's and Bennigan's. But he hasn't forgotten all of the little people:

[3:08:52 PM] iaco: hey macos users...what's your terminal of choice?

[3:09:18 PM] claw: i just use the built in one

[3:09:40 PM] claw: u on a mac now?

[3:10:56 PM] nicfit: iaco, have you tied iterm2

[3:12:40 PM] baron: my terminal of choice is linux + terminator.

[3:13:20 PM] nicfit: +1 for terminator, which is why I suggest iterm2. seems similar in feature set

[3:13:40 PM] iaco: i haven't yet. sounds like something to check out. the default term on this kind of sucks.

[3:13:54 PM] fonblet: I just use Terminal.

[3:14:00 PM] iaco: and yes claw, i'm part of the dark side now

[3:14:05 PM] fonblet: i'm not sure where it's lacking...

[3:14:08 PM] baron: iterm2 is purdy, the guy who wrote it goes way fucking anal in the text rendering, but I used to have a lot of problems with its actual terminal emulation

[3:14:12 PM] fonblet: I know a lot of folks like iTerm

[3:14:12 PM] iaco: it's so slow

[3:14:20 PM] fonblet: slow?

[3:14:26 PM] claw: yeah, iTerm is the other one, but i think that was mostly to get the tabs

[3:14:47 PM] fonblet: the standard term has tabs these days.

[3:14:48 PM] iaco: yeah, it's ridiculous, the cursor takes seconds to move 80 characters

[3:14:55 PM] claw: right

[3:16:05 PM] fonblet: it's not terminal that's your issue.

[3:16:45 PM] claw: iaco, are you a maverick?!

[3:17:09 PM] fonblet: SysPrefs -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Tab -> Key Repeat, Delay Until Repeat

[3:18:31 PM] iaco: nice, i knew you mac gurus would help

[3:19:06 PM] nicfit: MacOS, where we default to slow

[3:19:38 PM] claw: you should check mac-wiki iaco

[3:19:42 PM] fonblet: lulz

[3:21:34 PM] iaco: the google has answered every question really, just thought to ask here

[3:23:06 PM] nickönöv: thanks for making us feel important, Pooch!

Pooch is bored

When entering a discussion on the minutiae of monetary transactions, Pooch has little time or patience for non-Ivy Leaguers. In this exchange, he is known as "BREAKING" (his every utterance being in that category):

[10:25:25 AM] BREAKING: claw, get your accounts linked and it's not a wire transfer anymore. that might have been explained, but i got bored of reading.
[10:26:37 AM] rynok: i think BREAKING called you boring nickönöv.
[10:27:06 AM] nickönöv: man, that dude is a fucking prophet
[10:27:29 AM] nickönöv: everyone drop what they're doing and pay attention, for Pooch might soon utter wisdom
[10:28:12 AM] BREAKING: :q
[10:28:21 AM] nickönöv: fucking awesome!
[10:28:44 AM] nickönöv: I hope you lesser cunts were enlightened
[10:30:01 AM] * rynok genuflects.

Pooch <3 the office

Dedication? Pooch gots it in spades. In the following transcript, Pooch is using the pseudonym "breasts":

[11:27:58 AM] rynok: anybody eatin' in?
[11:28:43 AM] claw: i am
[11:29:14 AM] breasts: i will be eating here, but may still come into the office
[11:29:40 AM] nickönöv: that makes little sense
[11:30:21 AM] nickönöv: in protest, I will not be dining in this establishment
[11:30:22 AM] rynok: nickönöv: breasts is WFHTu
[11:30:44 AM] nickönöv: OIC
[11:30:48 AM] nickönöv: 1,000 pardons
[11:31:10 AM] nickönöv: that, of course, begs the question: why the cunt would you come to the office if you're WFH?
[11:31:29 AM] nicfit: maybe he misses you, don't be so insensitive
[11:33:57 AM] breasts: cuz i like to be in the office.
[11:34:08 AM] breasts: i need to check on my stupid laptop.
[11:34:20 AM] breasts: i want to waste the time of the commute.
[11:34:35 AM] breasts: i'm going to be working from home thursday cuz of early softball.
[11:35:15 AM] breasts: i want to grace you all with my fucking gorgeous, chiselled jaw line.

a trip down memory lane

With the coming of the holidays, it's a great time to look back on everything that Pooch has meant over the years. Nothing summarizes this better than a slideshow.

Pooch should've had a V8

Free soft drinks and juices don't make up for a cloudy day, it seems. Here, Pooch (a.k.a., iaco) gets the blues:

[10:31:22 AM] Lord Hater: Is iaco an Ivy Leaguer?
[10:31:31 AM] baron3000: Lord Hater, are you gonna hate on him for that?
[10:31:47 AM] Lord Hater: *If* he is, then yes.
[10:34:52 AM] nickönöv: Pooch *is* Ivy League
[10:36:33 AM] iaco: i'm so sad at the level of humor in this room.

Perhaps Teabag's new driveway-themed blog will cheer him up.

Pooch does Dallas

He's got a plane to catch, but Pooch never forgets his fans:

[2:08:25 PM] iaco: what's my avatar look like?
[2:08:29 PM] iaco: is it borked?
[2:08:33 PM] nicfit: no
[2:08:36 PM] nickönöv: not at all
[2:08:41 PM] nicfit: it looks, umm, inviting
[2:08:50 PM] iaco: it should be shamron moore
[2:09:02 PM] iaco: but anyway, enjoy...it'll change
             once an hour while i'm gone
[2:09:31 PM] öriginal gangstä: yah? that's what you've been
             doing this morning?
[2:09:33 PM] nickönöv: Pooch r00lz!
[2:09:37 PM] öriginal gangstä: making a script to change your
             avatar?
[2:09:48 PM] öriginal gangstä: so that's what "working from
             home" means ..?
[2:09:48 PM] iaco: no, just the last 15 minutes
[2:09:57 PM] iaco: how fucking weak a programmer do you think
             i am?
[2:10:27 PM] öriginal gangstä: ha... well i guess it was in
             python so you couldn't deref null.

His heart's as big as Texas. Unfortunately, he's a pretty fucking weak programmer:

[4:48:35 PM] Corky: looks like Iaco's bot died

my complaint about Pooch

I've got a bone to pick with Pooch. Here's the long and short of it.
