people being awesome and helpful on IRC (#ateam, irc.mozilla.org)
20:46 martianwars jmaher: What does "afk" stand for?
20:46 jmaher martianwars: hey, great question
20:46 jmaher afk == away from keyboard
20:46 jmaher omw == on my way
20:46 jmaher pto == paid time off
20:47 jmaher mtg == meeting
20:47 martianwars bbiab?
20:47 jmaher ^ those are the common nick modifiers people use
20:47 adusca bbiab = be back in a bit
20:47 adusca brb = be right back
20:47 martianwars alright, and "sherrifduty" ?
20:47 jmaher thanks adusca
20:48 adusca martianwars: it means that they are in sheriff duty :P https://wiki.mozilla.org/Sheriffing/Sheriff_Duty
20:49 adusca martianwars: (or in charge of making sure bad commits are backed out of the tree and good commits go through)
20:49 jmaher martianwars: I set my nick to jmaher|afk often, usually when I am not at the keyboard, but I could cruise by and chat for a minute, then go away- I just use jmaher|lurking when I am not present, but at the computer
20:50 martianwars adusca: Oh I see. I had the wrong impression that Sheriffs are somehow related to the IRC
20:50 martianwars jmaher: What do you change your nick to when you are not at work ? For instance asleep? "offline" right?
20:51 adusca well, they usually communicate with the authors of bad commits through IRC, but their work doesn't involve IRC directly
20:51 * ato pictures jmaher lurking around his computer
20:51 adusca I'm afk when sleeping (until IRCCloud signs me off because I stopped paying)
20:52 jmaher ato: I am open to other suggestions- usually I am not available for real work as in I have plans or family obligations
20:52 jmaher martianwars: usually afk
20:52 martianwars Oh things make a lot more sense now. :) one more question, what did ato do right now?
20:53 martianwars Is it some equivalent of a Twitter/Facebook status?
20:53 adusca martianwars: he typed "/me pictures jmaher ...". it is meant to describe an action in the third person
20:55 * martianwars learnt a lot of interesting things today! :D
