16:59:35 <crc> wb ray
17:00:34 <Raystm2> Hello, there!, young man. How are you and yers?
17:02:11 * Raystm2 is doing Knuth's MIX 1009 simulator in colorForth in order to have a decent, completely recognisible demo for my "systems" movies.
17:04:16 * Raystm2 is satisfied with the battery back-up system that politely hybernated the system, saving his work, when the power went out during his "nap".
17:09:06 * crc has been a little sick lately
17:09:18 <Raystm2> Really? Like a cold? 
17:09:25 <crc> stomach bug
17:09:49 <Raystm2> oh! Sorry to read that. Hope you feel better Like a flu?
17:09:56 <crc> a little
17:10:24 * crc may have more time to code soon: hours are being cut at work, so I'll have a little more free time each week
17:10:38 <Raystm2> Seen a doctor, lately? :)
17:10:52 <Raystm2> Hours cut?!? Business down?
17:10:54 <crc> it's been a few weeks
17:11:07 <crc> business is the slowest its been since 2001
17:11:35 <Raystm2> You are at an electrical/electronics supplier, isn't that right?
17:11:55 <crc> we're averaging $300k/month in sales; down from $550k+ two years ago
17:12:01 <crc> yes, electrical supplies
17:12:59 <Raystm2> ooooh! that's nearly a 3rd in deflation. Yikes!
17:13:13 <Raystm2> Nearly a half too!
17:13:26 <crc> yup
17:13:50 <crc> most overtime is gone (I'll soon be down to 45 hours a week, down from 50-55 now; and down from 60+ 1-2 years ago)
17:13:58 <Raystm2> Dinner -- eating here so brb. :)
17:14:02 <crc> ok
17:15:10 <Raystm2> I was just going to ask -- re: hours. So, still, you won't have the nice "extra" money ( that one should not depend on but always does ), but be back to reg pay. Could be worse, I suppose.
17:15:39 <crc> I've had unlimited overtime for 4 of my 5 years at this job, so the cuts do hurt
17:15:49 <crc> but at least my job is secure :)
17:19:53 <Raystm2> True, that.
17:21:55 * crc is now responsible for most purchasing and inventory management tasks
17:25:22 <Raystm2> speaking of purchasing: did y'all get your 'berries yet.
17:25:39 <Raystm2> ?
17:31:10 <crc> yes
17:31:45 <crc> they're quite nice
17:32:12 <Raystm2> Oh! cool. I bet. I'm a tad jealous. :) 
17:32:40 <Raystm2> Future of computing might just look like that.
