[quote<Seraphina_Wildfire> Well, I do have a gift for you all.
<Jules> shinies?
<Seraphina_Wildfire> It's part of our advertising campaign, but this has personal significance for me.
<sux0rbiscuit> yat!
<Seraphina_Wildfire> http://www.thisiswi.net/serabackground.jpg
<sux0rbiscuit> *yat
<Seraphina_Wildfire> They made this without telling me again.
<KnightWhoSays_Ni> lol
<Jules> heh
<Seraphina_Wildfire> I wish they told me something around here.
<Jules> isn't it more fun when you find out for yourself?
<Seraphina_Wildfire> I guess Mr. Jules... I guess...
<sux0rbiscuit> Who does all of the companies art, because it is really nice
<Jules> MS. Jules, thank you very much
<Seraphina_Wildfire> We have a small onboard art team.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Oh, my apologies.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> It's good to see another woman on the team.
<LBoomer> did I miss the meeting?
<MrEaton> Well, back to work for me.
<Jules> no problem, glad to be here
<Nadif> Oh that is SO cute!
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Ok, see you later Pops!
<MrEaton> Bye Sera
* MrEaton has left #wildfireindustries
<sux0rbiscuit> bye Pops
<Midnight> cute was the word I was thinking of
<LBoomer> Bye Pops
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Apparently all of your future employers are being depicted in artwork.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Because Delton isn't letting cameras into WI Tower.
<Midnight> oh, that's a definite bonus
<KnightWhoSays_Ni> yes the pic is "cute"
<Nadif>
<sux0rbiscuit> at all, or for now
<Jules> if they do chibi I definitely want in
<miss_caro> why can't you get photos outside the building?
<Seraphina_Wildfire> He just doesn't want photos of us floating around.
<cornetchap> does Delton take account of camera phones?
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Oh yes.
<miss_caro> aaah ok
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Although I believe he's making a list of things you all should carry...
<Seraphina_Wildfire> And I believe a camera phone is part of it...
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Hmmm... odd...
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Now that I think of it.
<miss_caro> what is this for?
<cornetchap> indeed
<DWing010> very odd
<sux0rbiscuit> Tell us more
<LBoomer> damn, now I need to upgrade my phone
<LBoomer> lol
<Nadif> Me too
<miss_caro> and is it CDMA camera phones he means?
<Seraphina_Wildfire> When you're employed with us, we ask that you use some object so we can test the functions of Blaze.Net.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Er.. objects...
<Seraphina_Wildfire> We'll tell you at the interview.
<cornetchap> I hope not for those of us not in the US
<Nadif> Oh, 0k
<sux0rbiscuit> Hey, just duct tape a small camera to your phone
<sux0rbiscuit> duct tape can upgrade anything
<cornetchap> lol
<Nadif> lol, one great truth
<sux0rbiscuit> Will duct tape be a vital part of Blaze.Net?
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Possibly?
<Seraphina_Wildfire> I don't know.
<LBoomer> sweet
<miss_caro> cableties
<sux0rbiscuit> If not, it should be on the list
<DWing010> duct tape is a vital part of anything
<Seraphina_Wildfire> No one tells me anything.
<miss_caro> or zipties for those in the us
<miss_caro>
<KnightWhoSays_Ni> will digital work?
<Jules> any other good job perks?
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Digital is good... as long as it takes pictures and does stuff...
<DWing010> It holds the universe together
<miss_caro> Seraphina_Wildfire can you possibly tell us when we'll need to have camera phones by?
<Seraphina_Wildfire> There are perks, but they will be discussed at your interview.
<sux0rbiscuit> Knight, do we need to go play music now?
<KnightWhoSays_Ni> i would think a digital camera should take pictures, if it didn't i would be concerned
<miss_caro> I was meaning to get one, but I wasn't going to until next month, and can move it along quicker if need be
<LBoomer> hehe
<Seraphina_Wildfire> You won't "Need" them Miss Caro, just someone might want to have one so we can try it out.
<KnightWhoSays_Ni> i dunno
<miss_caro> oh ok
<Seraphina_Wildfire> So don't got out and buy one just for us.
<KnightWhoSays_Ni> i'll check with loser
<Nadif> very good
<miss_caro> nah I need a new cellphone cos I broke mine
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Although it is recommended, it is no necessary.
<Nadif> my old cell phone is safe
<sux0rbiscuit> Will there be punch and pie?
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Er.. "not"
<miss_caro> and insurance is paying out for a new phone
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Sure, they will be punch and pie.
<miss_caro> but haven't done so yet
<sux0rbiscuit> sweet
<Nadif> will there be fluff?
<Seraphina_Wildfire> The list of things we recommend that employees have will be posted on Wednesday...
<Seraphina_Wildfire> I believe.
<miss_caro> but it's not on cdma, it's on the GSM Vodafone / Optus type network
<Seraphina_Wildfire> As well as your job perks...
<sux0rbiscuit> I am sold
<Nadif> ok
<Jules> excellent
<miss_caro> can I ask... please...
<miss_caro> is wednesday tomorrow in your world or the day after?
<miss_caro> it's tuesday here today
<Poke> Day after tomorrow here
<Poke> And there

I printed out the Seraphina background this morning and noticed that what looks like text does appear to have real text at the top. Seems to be giving measurements like height, weight, hair colour, eye colour and what looks as though it could be leg measurement!

Can't make out the actual values though (height may be 5' 9")

Don't know if any of it will be pertinant in the future, but thought it might be worth pointing out.

[Nadif]

Yeah, I noticed that too. Tried to enlarge and/or enhance the image but nothing useful came out, it's still unintellegible.
Uhm... that's a 1024x768 wallpaper, right? Maybe we should see if there's available a bigger version of it...

I think we've missed a few odds and ends, but the end result is that Firenze is up, running, and permanantly in Chat. So Sera's taking a break - well deserved, I might add. However, while I was off killing people in Half-Life 2, Mr Stockholm came on and had this to say:

[GabrielBlade]

The board meeting was just held.. here's a transcript so those who follow in our footsteps will have some idea what's going on.

[PokeKiller]

Lots happening tonight.
Laura logged on, and invited some of us to a chat.

[Brain\Storm]

[Puddle?] Calling

[JustLurking]

Sera stopped by for a chat

[miss_seph]

Today something interesting happened (all times are in NZDST)

[miss_seph]

However, the entire time, I was having a conversation with Mr Macellen in private:

[PokeKiller]

Board Meeting time

[hkdl]

OKay.I'm at work so I don't have access to IRC...Pete Peterson just called me and asked me to let you guys know Firenze just registered a hacking attempt, and they are having some trouble. He wanted me to let you guys know if he says anything weird you can ignore it.

EDIT - as Zomby pointed out they are stress testing by hacking into the system, sorry about that, I was driving down the road when he called.
