[01:14] Hi, DarrenS [01:15] hi, just looking at your extra logger. :) [01:15] DarrenS: Oh, cool. [01:15] m [01:15] er, /n [01:15] er. [01:15] long day. [01:15] Yeah, I booted the locobot. [01:17] juggling a bit here, I'll make him go away for good rsn [01:18] DarrenS: no problem [01:19] like I said, if you're checking the Canonical ticket I put in, it doesn't really matter to me [01:19] it bothers me too. :D [01:20] DarrenS: are you from Canonical? [01:20] yes. :) [01:20] DarrenS: pleased to meet you :DD [01:21] \o [01:21] Meet our LoCo :) LoCo, this is a real-live Canonical employee! [01:24] yo LoCo \o [01:26] 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] s/t/to/ [01:27] which area is us-wi? :) [01:27] I'm from northern WI [01:27] sorry aussie here... [01:27] Rhinelander [01:28] http://goo.gl/QrJey [01:28] Is where I'm from, anyway. [01:28] ah thanks. [01:29] We have people from all over the state, though. A concentration more south. [01:32] just speaking with the crew seems that the two logbots is fallout from a hackaround because we hit a channel limit [01:32] we may have to live with it for a bit until someone gets in and tidies up the logger [01:33] That's fine with me/us, sure [01:38] Gotta do what we gotta do [01:51] I'm going to escalate it, needs some cleanup. [01:56] take it easy you guys, I'm gone. [02:52] Dang, I missed the rare Canonical Employee sighting. Did somebody get a photo? [02:55] I have logs! [03:29] h00k: Well, you live in the north. Trees everywhere. Of course you have logs. [03:31] I have a whole yard full of logs, too. [13:51] 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 [13:52] h00k: Thanks for filing a bug on the bots. [13:52] Hi! [13:53] Cheesehead: yep. you saw the logs, I'm assuming [13:53] cool. [13:54] h00k: Yes, I have a nify little script that updates the logs of some channels hourly. [13:54] Convenient to follow meetings and classes just an hour behind real time [13:56] ;) [13:56] Reminder - One week until the first MKE Ubuntu Hour. http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-us-wisconsin/1093/detail/ [13:56] consider running irssi permanently in a screen [13:57] h00k: Irssi is running whenever my laptop is turned on. [13:57] And it reconnects automatically. [13:57] I have a device I *could* run it on that is on 24/7 [13:57] I just haven;t figured it out yet [13:57] (Busy time of year) [13:58] lubotu1`: WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE [13:58] h00k: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:58] the bots. they invade. [14:00] Aw, bots ain't so bad. [14:00] Now, Left-handed Hawaiians. Them's the ones I don't want invading. [14:01] Or Manitobans. [14:04] heh [14:14] * mikeputnam markets Wisconsin tech-group mailing lists via his blog [14:14] http://theputnams.net/mike/2011/08/24/mailing-lists-i-keep-current-with/ [14:14] (then spams them in IRC channels) [14:15] mikeputnam: Nice reading glasses. [14:15] 20 [14:15] 20 [14:15] where did my slash key go. [14:15] * mikeputnam offers / [14:15] found it! [14:15] you have to double them up to escape the slash from irssi [14:15] / [14:15] actually / / [14:16] /20 [14:16] /20 [14:16] /say 20 [14:16] \o/ [14:16] er [14:16] /say /20 [14:16] / [14:16] there we go. [14:16] or start the line with a space [14:16] that works, too [14:17] FDL has a LUG, I ddin't know that. [14:17] and my post has already paid off! [14:17] that's all the way down there, though :( [14:18] h00k: also see http://wisconsinlinux.org [14:18] (FDLLUG is on there too) [14:30] mikeputnam: oh yeah, that's where I may have seen it [14:31] So, if I have a USB drive where the rectangle plug-part broke off, but I still have 4 good contacts... [14:31] (this is a client, working on data-recovery) [14:31] replace the receptacle! [14:31] 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 [14:32] It's one of those slide-in-the-chassis-sandisks [14:33] http://www.homebrewusb.com/DIY/Images/pinoutUSB.jpg [14:33] I'll show you what I'm looking at [14:33] my hunch (guess) is that if it was put in backwards, it would just not work but wouldn't damage anything. [14:34] because the voltage would just be going straight to ground [14:35] and mixing up data+ and data-? [14:36] that i'm not sure about. sorry. [14:37] my electicity 101 foo is weak [14:38] i'm still in the try-it/possibly-break-it/learn-not-to-do-that-again stage [14:39] h00k: do you have access to a multimeter? [14:39] with that you could detect which of the ends is the power and then you know how to orient your plug [14:39] indeed! [14:46] mikeputnam: because the quickest thing I could do was G+ it, it's there [14:48] hmm [14:48] that's a tricky one [14:49] 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] and if you choose the wrong pin (ground) nothing should happen (and your data pins would remain safe) [14:50] just don't touch the data pins with the 5V [14:51] Right... [14:52] standby, replacing a few NICS, then I'll give this a shot. [14:58] I know which is which [14:58] In comparing it to my SanDisk, one side of the pinouts have convex strips, one side has concave [14:58] assuming they stick to the same relative design, I should be okay. [14:59] So, I can tell that convex needs to be up, etc [14:59] mikeputnam: ^ a stroke of genius [14:59] :) [17:08] I haven't tested it yet. [17:08] been busy taking apart a laptop :( [18:50] Pretty sure the mobo on thsi guy. [19:19] mikeputnam: success [19:19] my USB actually has small slits in the USB port that allowed me to slide the pins in for contact. [19:20] I'm debating casing it in hot-glue and using it for myself if the client doesn't want it [19:20] or just wire it to a cable [19:34] Updated Wisconsin Team reports on the wiki to reflect the Ubuntu Hour and the upcoming Jam events. [19:34] I have to add the event for Rick. [19:34] Shoot.
