"IEEE - The world's leading professional association for the advancement of technology".

"IEEE Standards
The IEEE is a leading developer of standards that underpin many of today’s technologies. Our standards are developed in a unique environment that builds consensus in an open process based on input from all interested parties. With nearly 1,300 standards either completed or under development, we are a central source of standardization in both traditional and emerging fields, particularly telecommunications, information technology and power generation."

I took this information from their website. So far so good. Today I needed some information from the IEEE floating point standard p754r for university research.

Then I saw that they publish their "standards" as .doc files (also known as Micro$oft word documents).
Are they sick? They are developing standards and they publish them as word files? Oh dear this world is fucking crazy.

I tested using ii to generate channel stats with pisg.
It works without a problem. In the pisg documentation the FORMATS file explains which log format to use for which client and the irssi log format supports the same strings as the ii out files do.

I am running experimental channel stats for #wmii channel on oftc now with ii:
