[00:01] <brousch> http://www.flickr.com/photos/brousch/6061216577/in/set-72157627350920995
[00:03] <brousch> i will post tonight if i can get in the writing mood
[00:04] <snap-l> OK, time to try a reboot.
[00:04] <snap-l> bbl.
[02:25] <snap-l> Evening, everyone?
[02:36] <_stink_> man, Royal Oak has some touchy power.
[02:38] <snap-l> Yeah, it can
[02:38] <snap-l> Are you out of power again?
[02:39] <_stink_> we're up in Saginaw, but i know we bliped out earlier
[02:40] <_stink_> mostly because my home server is down *again*
[02:40] <_stink_> did you lose it?
[02:40] <snap-l> Yeah, my parents blipped out
[02:40] <snap-l> Not sure. COffee pot is still on
[02:40] <_stink_> heh
[02:40] <snap-l> but I have a UPS just for such occasions. ;)
[02:41] <_stink_> man, i should get one.
[02:41] <_stink_> instead, i just moved my 'communication' screen session to the linode.
[02:42] <snap-l> Yeah, I've been thinking of doing that.
[11:59] <rick_h_> _stink_: yea, battery backup is worth it
[12:00] <rick_h_> if only because I can run the router/model for an hour+ on the thing
[14:38] <snap-l> If you have a desktop with PCI-e, and an onboard video card from AMD, you might want to head to Microcenter.
[14:39] <snap-l> They have the ASUS HD5450 for $39.99 with $20 rebate
[14:39] <snap-l> 512DDR3 memory
[14:42] <snap-l> It's as low-end as you can get, but it still beats the pants off of the 3450 that was onboard. ;)
[14:47] <rick_h_> awesome
[15:37] <Duolos> Hey, is there a get-together in Grand Rapids at all this Thursday?
[15:46] <brousch> Duolos: i don't see anything
[15:47] <brousch> normally it would be the west michigan linux user group, but barcampgr sort of sucked up everyone's energy
[15:48] <Duolos> ah ok
[15:48] <brousch> this is the best place to check http://conga-wm.org/calendar/
[15:49] <brousch> bookmark it or add it to your gcal
[15:51] <Duolos> will do.  thank you
[16:43] <snap-l> Gotta love WWJ blocking access ot their station on my Squeezebox.
[16:43] <snap-l> What a bunch of tossing clowns.
[16:44] <rick_h_> oh yea?
[16:44] <rick_h_> how'd you figure they were blocking the squeezebox?
[16:47] <snap-l> Used to have them as a favorite, but says "This station is no longer accessible"
[16:47] <snap-l> Net result: They no longer exist.
[16:47] <rick_h_> gotcha
[16:47] <snap-l> I'm not going to their stupid flash playing piece of garbage.
[16:49] <rick_h_> oh buy why not?! :P
[16:50] <snap-l> Frankly, they can do whatever they want with their stream, but frankly I'm repulsed.
[16:50] <snap-l> And I'd think in an era where every listener is precious, you'd be a little more accomidating.
[16:50] <snap-l> Oh, they also pulled WOMC as well
[16:51] <snap-l> Smooth move, Ex-Lax.
[16:52] <snap-l> Considering that was the only way that I could have ever listened to their HD2 stream, that's brilliant.
[16:53] <rick_h_> ruh roh
[16:53] <snap-l> No, actually, that's brilliant
[16:53] <snap-l> since their HD3 station was psychic crap, this keeps JoDee from accidentally hitting it and blowing up the radio.
[21:59] <snap-l> "I wanted to know can I embed a video into a Scribus document and save as a PDF?  I want to make a brochure with a video in the brochure and all I can do now is have a link to a YouTube video."
[22:00] <Thirtysixway> lol
