mhall119|workLaserJock: you need irssi and a remote server for chatting during work hours18:38
LaserJockmhall119|work: I don't think I'll get to do that18:39
LaserJockthe Air Force is a bit picky about the computers18:39
mhall119|workyet you're using a web-based IRC client18:39
* nubae congratulates LaserJock18:39
LaserJockmhall119|work: on an "unsecure" network. I think they block a lot of ports, including ssh I think18:40
mhall119|workLaserJock: alright then, get an Android phone18:40
mhall119|workor do they make you work in a faraday cage?18:41
LaserJockheh18:42
LaserJockno18:42
nubaeyeah my work blocks everything except port 80, people come up with enthusiastic creative ways to get around it though18:42
LaserJockwell18:42
LaserJockthe idea really is that at work I should be working :-)18:42
mhall119|workwhat?18:42
LaserJockmy hours aren't bad so I hope to work and work and play at home18:42
LaserJockit's weird having a real job after 11 years of uni18:43
nubaeLaserJock: what are u doing as work exactly?18:43
LaserJocknubae: if I told you ... I'd have to kill you18:44
LaserJock:-)18:44
mhall119|workwell okay, but it had better be good18:44
LaserJockthe basic thing is that I'm looking at plasmas18:44
nubaeplasmas?18:44
LaserJockI create plasmas in a vacumn chamber with a strong laser18:44
mhall119|workweapon or propulsion?18:44
* nubae doesnt even know what that is :-)18:44
mhall119|worknubae: lose electrons18:44
LaserJockmhall119|work: detection of both basically18:45
* nubae visualises something Star Trekkie18:45
LaserJockheh18:45
mhall119|worknubae: it's far less interesting than that18:45
nubaeeject the plasma, she's gonna blow18:45
mhall119|workvisualize fire18:45
nubae:-)18:45
LaserJockbasically you focus the laser beam down until it blows everything apart18:45
mhall119|workhey, that's always fun18:46
LaserJockand then I look to see how the atoms reform18:46
LaserJockinto interesting molecules18:46
nubaewell that does sound interesting the way u describe actually...18:46
LaserJockanyway, it's Defense space stuff18:46
nubaeoh... against aliens... or illegal aliens?18:47
nubae(grin)18:47
mhall119|workmexicans is freakin lasers?18:47
LaserJockI think the "threat" is more across the ocean to the east18:47
LaserJockI mean, west18:48
mhall119|workTexas?18:48
mhall119|workoh, west18:48
* LaserJock is tired18:48
mhall119|workoh, right, Texas?18:48
mhall119|workI mean, I know they're secessionist and love their guns, but I don't really think we need lasers to deal with them18:48
* mhall119|work is in Florida18:48
ograso yu moved east to help defending your country against a thread from the west ?18:48
mhall119|workogra: maybe he knows something we don't?18:49
LaserJockogra: something like that ;-)18:49
ograhi btw18:49
nubaeiy might turn out to be effective though... could have some mind altering contingent18:49
mhall119|worknubae: powerful lasers will definitely alter someone's mind18:49
LaserJockogra: hi18:49
ogragood to see you back18:49
mhall119|workit'll alter it right into a steaming pool of mush18:49

nubaeBoston is nice... I lived there for 3 years18:51
LaserJockmhall119|work: well, I don't officially work for the Air Force. I'm sure the cool people get better ways :-)18:51
LaserJockso I moved from Reno, NV to Boston but work for a company in Utah :-)18:52
nubaeheh18:52
LaserJockthe paperwork has been overwhelming18:52
ograLaserJock, you are not by chance at that small lex. airforce base where mark uses to land ?18:52

LaserJockI'm still just trying to find the grocery store, etc.18:58
LaserJockbut I bought a GPS unit for the car, which really helps18:58

* Lns didn't know nubae was into meditation too :)19:03
* mhall119|work is into seditation19:27
Lnskind of related, though maybe a bit more dangerous in the long term ;)19:31
