[01:14] <h00k> Hi, DarrenS
[01:15] <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.
[01:17] <DarrenS> juggling a bit here, I'll make him go away for good rsn
[01:18] <h00k> DarrenS: no problem
[01:19] <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
[01:20] <h00k> DarrenS: are you from Canonical?
[01:20] <DarrenS> yes. :)
[01:20] <h00k> DarrenS: pleased to meet you :DD
[01:21] <DarrenS> \o
[01:21] <h00k> Meet our LoCo :) LoCo, this is a real-live Canonical employee!
[01:24] <DarrenS> yo LoCo \o
[01:26] <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/
[01:27] <DarrenS> which area is us-wi? :)
[01:27] <h00k> I'm from northern WI
[01:27] <DarrenS> sorry aussie here...
[01:27] <h00k> Rhinelander
[01:28] <h00k> http://goo.gl/QrJey
[01:28] <h00k> Is where I'm from, anyway.
[01:28] <DarrenS> ah thanks.
[01:29] <h00k> We have people from all over the state, though. A concentration more south.
[01:32] <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
[01:33] <h00k> That's fine with me/us, sure
[01:38] <h00k> Gotta do what we gotta do
[01:51] <DarrenS> I'm going to escalate it, needs some cleanup.
[01:56] <DarrenS> take it easy you guys, I'm gone.
[02:52] <Cheesehead> Dang, I missed the rare Canonical Employee sighting. Did somebody get a photo?
[02:55] <h00k> I have logs!
[03:29] <Cheesehead> h00k: Well, you live in the north. Trees everywhere. Of course you have logs.
[03:31] <Cheesehead> I have a whole yard full of logs, too.
[13:51] <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
[13:52] <Cheesehead> h00k: Thanks for filing a bug on the bots.
[13:52] <h00k> Hi!
[13:53] <h00k> Cheesehead: yep. you saw the logs, I'm assuming
[13:53] <h00k> cool.
[13:54] <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
[13:56] <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
[13:57] <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)
[13:58] <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.
[14:00] <Cheesehead> Aw, bots ain't so bad.
[14:00] <Cheesehead> Now, Left-handed Hawaiians. Them's the ones I don't want invading.
[14:01] <Cheesehead> Or Manitobans.
[14:04] <h00k> heh

[14:16] <h00k> there we go.
[14:16] <mikeputnam> or start the line with a space
[14:16] <h00k> that works, too
[14:17] <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 :(
[14:18] <mikeputnam> h00k: also see http://wisconsinlinux.org
[14:18] <mikeputnam> (FDLLUG is on there too)
[14:30] <h00k> mikeputnam: oh yeah, that's where I may have seen it
[14:31] <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
[14:32] <h00k> It's one of those slide-in-the-chassis-sandisks
[14:33] <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.
[14:34] <mikeputnam> because the voltage would just be going straight to ground
[14:35] <h00k> and mixing up data+ and data-?
[14:36] <mikeputnam> that i'm not sure about.  sorry.
[14:37] <mikeputnam> my electicity 101 foo is weak
[14:38] <mikeputnam> i'm still in the try-it/possibly-break-it/learn-not-to-do-that-again stage
[14:39] <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!
[14:46] <h00k> mikeputnam: because the quickest thing I could do was G+ it, it's there
[14:48] <mikeputnam> hmm
[14:48] <mikeputnam> that's a tricky one
[14:49] <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)
[14:50] <mikeputnam> just don't touch the data pins with the 5V
[14:51] <h00k> Right...
[14:52] <h00k> standby, replacing a few NICS, then I'll give this a shot.
[14:58] <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.
[14:59] <h00k> So, I can tell that convex needs to be up, etc
[14:59] <h00k> mikeputnam: ^ a stroke of genius
[14:59] <mikeputnam> :)
[17:08] <h00k> I haven't tested it yet.
[17:08] <h00k> been busy taking apart a laptop :(
[18:50] <h00k> Pretty sure the mobo on thsi guy.
[19:19] <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.
[19:20] <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
[19:34] <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.
