| h00k | Hi, DarrenS | 01:14 |
|---|---|---|
| DarrenS | hi, just looking at your extra logger. :) | 01:15 |
| h00k | DarrenS: Oh, cool. | 01:15 |
| h00k | m | 01:15 |
| h00k | er, /n | 01:15 |
| h00k | er. | 01:15 |
| h00k | long day. | 01:15 |
| h00k | Yeah, I booted the locobot. | 01:15 |
| DarrenS | juggling a bit here, I'll make him go away for good rsn | 01:17 |
| h00k | DarrenS: no problem | 01:18 |
| h00k | like I said, if you're checking the Canonical ticket I put in, it doesn't really matter to me | 01:19 |
| DarrenS | it bothers me too. :D | 01:19 |
| h00k | DarrenS: are you from Canonical? | 01:20 |
| DarrenS | yes. :) | 01:20 |
| h00k | DarrenS: pleased to meet you :DD | 01:20 |
| DarrenS | \o | 01:21 |
| h00k | Meet our LoCo :) LoCo, this is a real-live Canonical employee! | 01:21 |
| DarrenS | yo LoCo \o | 01:24 |
| h00k | We don't appear t get any double-logging happening on irclogs.ubuntu.com, so they must somehow resolve that, or only one is logging | 01:26 |
| h00k | s/t/to/ | 01:26 |
| DarrenS | which area is us-wi? :) | 01:27 |
| h00k | I'm from northern WI | 01:27 |
| DarrenS | sorry aussie here... | 01:27 |
| h00k | Rhinelander | 01:27 |
| h00k | http://goo.gl/QrJey | 01:28 |
| h00k | Is where I'm from, anyway. | 01:28 |
| DarrenS | ah thanks. | 01:28 |
| h00k | We have people from all over the state, though. A concentration more south. | 01:29 |
| DarrenS | just speaking with the crew seems that the two logbots is fallout from a hackaround because we hit a channel limit | 01:32 |
| DarrenS | we may have to live with it for a bit until someone gets in and tidies up the logger | 01:32 |
| h00k | That's fine with me/us, sure | 01:33 |
| h00k | Gotta do what we gotta do | 01:38 |
| DarrenS | I'm going to escalate it, needs some cleanup. | 01:51 |
| DarrenS | take it easy you guys, I'm gone. | 01:56 |
| Cheesehead | Dang, I missed the rare Canonical Employee sighting. Did somebody get a photo? | 02:52 |
| h00k | I have logs! | 02:55 |
| Cheesehead | h00k: Well, you live in the north. Trees everywhere. Of course you have logs. | 03:29 |
| Cheesehead | I have a whole yard full of logs, too. | 03:31 |
| Cheesehead | Happiness -the Ubuntu Technical Board has released their Top 10 Brainstorm Ideas to review and respond to: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/technical-board/2011-August/001043.html | 13:51 |
| Cheesehead | h00k: Thanks for filing a bug on the bots. | 13:52 |
| h00k | Hi! | 13:52 |
| h00k | Cheesehead: yep. you saw the logs, I'm assuming | 13:53 |
| h00k | cool. | 13:53 |
| Cheesehead | h00k: Yes, I have a nify little script that updates the logs of some channels hourly. | 13:54 |
| Cheesehead | Convenient to follow meetings and classes just an hour behind real time | 13:54 |
| h00k | ;) | 13:56 |
| Cheesehead | Reminder - One week until the first MKE Ubuntu Hour. http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-us-wisconsin/1093/detail/ | 13:56 |
| h00k | consider running irssi permanently in a screen | 13:56 |
| Cheesehead | h00k: Irssi is running whenever my laptop is turned on. | 13:57 |
| Cheesehead | And it reconnects automatically. | 13:57 |
| Cheesehead | I have a device I *could* run it on that is on 24/7 | 13:57 |
| Cheesehead | I just haven;t figured it out yet | 13:57 |
| Cheesehead | (Busy time of year) | 13:57 |
| h00k | lubotu1`: WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE | 13:58 |
| lubotu1` | h00k: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:58 |
| h00k | the bots. they invade. | 13:58 |
| Cheesehead | Aw, bots ain't so bad. | 14:00 |
| Cheesehead | Now, Left-handed Hawaiians. Them's the ones I don't want invading. | 14:00 |
| Cheesehead | Or Manitobans. | 14:01 |
| h00k | heh | 14:04 |

| h00k | where did my slash key go. | 14:15 |
| * mikeputnam offers / | 14:15 | |
| h00k | found it! | 14:15 |
| mikeputnam | you have to double them up to escape the slash from irssi | 14:15 |
| mikeputnam | / | 14:15 |
| mikeputnam | actually / / | 14:15 |

| mikeputnam | \o/ | 14:16 |
| h00k | er | 14:16 |
| h00k | /say /20 | 14:16 |
| mikeputnam | / | 14:16 |
| h00k | there we go. | 14:16 |
| mikeputnam | or start the line with a space | 14:16 |
| h00k | that works, too | 14:16 |
| h00k | FDL has a LUG, I ddin't know that. | 14:17 |
| mikeputnam | and my post has already paid off! | 14:17 |
| h00k | that's all the way down there, though :( | 14:17 |
| mikeputnam | h00k: also see http://wisconsinlinux.org | 14:18 |
| mikeputnam | (FDLLUG is on there too) | 14:18 |
| h00k | mikeputnam: oh yeah, that's where I may have seen it | 14:30 |
| h00k | So, if I have a USB drive where the rectangle plug-part broke off, but I still have 4 good contacts... | 14:31 |
| h00k | (this is a client, working on data-recovery) | 14:31 |
| mikeputnam | replace the receptacle! | 14:31 |
| h00k | I'm not sure if it would damage it if I inadvertantly put it in upside down, because I don't know right now which way it goes in | 14:31 |
| h00k | It's one of those slide-in-the-chassis-sandisks | 14:32 |
| mikeputnam | http://www.homebrewusb.com/DIY/Images/pinoutUSB.jpg | 14:33 |
| h00k | I'll show you what I'm looking at | 14:33 |
| mikeputnam | my hunch (guess) is that if it was put in backwards, it would just not work but wouldn't damage anything. | 14:33 |
| mikeputnam | because the voltage would just be going straight to ground | 14:34 |
| h00k | and mixing up data+ and data-? | 14:35 |
| mikeputnam | that i'm not sure about. sorry. | 14:36 |
| mikeputnam | my electicity 101 foo is weak | 14:37 |
| mikeputnam | i'm still in the try-it/possibly-break-it/learn-not-to-do-that-again stage | 14:38 |
| mikeputnam | h00k: do you have access to a multimeter? | 14:39 |
| mikeputnam | with that you could detect which of the ends is the power and then you know how to orient your plug | 14:39 |
| h00k | indeed! | 14:39 |
| h00k | mikeputnam: because the quickest thing I could do was G+ it, it's there | 14:46 |
| mikeputnam | hmm | 14:48 |
| mikeputnam | that's a tricky one | 14:48 |
| mikeputnam | if you can apply a known 5V to one of the end pins (and it happens to be the power pin, then the LED (if there is one) should light | 14:49 |
| mikeputnam | and if you choose the wrong pin (ground) nothing should happen (and your data pins would remain safe) | 14:49 |
| mikeputnam | just don't touch the data pins with the 5V | 14:50 |
| h00k | Right... | 14:51 |
| h00k | standby, replacing a few NICS, then I'll give this a shot. | 14:52 |
| h00k | I know which is which | 14:58 |
| h00k | In comparing it to my SanDisk, one side of the pinouts have convex strips, one side has concave | 14:58 |
| h00k | assuming they stick to the same relative design, I should be okay. | 14:58 |
| h00k | So, I can tell that convex needs to be up, etc | 14:59 |
| h00k | mikeputnam: ^ a stroke of genius | 14:59 |
| mikeputnam | :) | 14:59 |
| h00k | I haven't tested it yet. | 17:08 |
| h00k | been busy taking apart a laptop :( | 17:08 |
| h00k | Pretty sure the mobo on thsi guy. | 18:50 |
| h00k | mikeputnam: success | 19:19 |
| h00k | my USB actually has small slits in the USB port that allowed me to slide the pins in for contact. | 19:19 |
| h00k | I'm debating casing it in hot-glue and using it for myself if the client doesn't want it | 19:20 |
| h00k | or just wire it to a cable | 19:20 |
| Cheesehead | Updated Wisconsin Team reports on the wiki to reflect the Ubuntu Hour and the upcoming Jam events. | 19:34 |
| h00k | I have to add the event for Rick. | 19:34 |
| h00k | Shoot. | 19:34 |
