| cyberanger | average_guy: fuel conservation | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| cyberanger | average_guy: or budget conservation, kinda take your pick this week | 00:04 |
| cyberanger | wrst: when you say it that way, sounds like you might be batman | 00:16 |
| cyberanger | I'm making sure nobody notices the secret door to the batcave tonight, but first I gotta see what the batcomputer says toinght, make sure no more important matters tonight, like a bank robbery | 00:17 |
| average_guy | That's what's up. Just wonderin if you were having car troubles. I went more then a year without a car before I got the one I have now. | 00:32 |
| average_guy | Walking got pretty old | 00:33 |
| cyberanger | same here, until fairly recentlly too | 00:33 |
| average_guy | I go out and stroll about 5 mi every morning now though just for the exercise. | 00:34 |
| average_guy | It's a bit diffrent when you don't HAVE to in the rain | 00:34 |
| average_guy | Walk is good for you! And I personally worry about the environment.. | 00:36 |
| cyberanger | while I like the enviroment, this is more about my ld habits dying hard | 02:00 |
| cyberanger | and my wallet this week | 02:00 |
| * cyberanger points at the pump, nearing 4 bucks with an inbound storm making me check & double check my backup systems | 02:01 | |
| wrst | hello nivik | 02:27 |
| wrst | cyberanger: who knows maybe bruce wayne is my real name | 02:27 |
| nivik | how's it going | 02:28 |
| wrst | good nivik how are you doing? | 02:30 |
| cyberanger | hey nivik | 02:51 |
| cyberanger | wrst: your a long way from wayne manor though ;-) | 02:51 |
| wrst | yeah i'm not filthy rich either :) | 02:53 |
| cyberanger | neither was bruce wayne (he was filfthy stinking rich ;-)) | 03:00 |
| wrst | ha ha i'm not that either | 03:02 |
| jfenn2199 | good evening all | 05:38 |
| Unit193 | Hello jfenn2199 and welcome to the Ubuntu Tennessee LoCo! Hope you enjoy your stay! | 05:39 |
| jfenn2199 | Oh I'm old school just went ghost for a while | 05:40 |
| jfenn2199 | but nice to have made your acquaintance Unit193 | 05:41 |
| Unit193 | I figured that would be my luck, I just had to beat cyberanger to it ;) | 05:41 |
| Unit193 | How you doing this hot (as in heat) night? | 05:41 |
| jfenn2199 | I'm doing well and compared to earlier today when 50 of us cycling Memphian's road about 6.5 miles in triple digit temperatures this weather is perfect | 05:43 |
| Unit193 | Heh. We don't have AC at home to cool off in so I wouldn't want to do that, but glad you had a great time! | 05:45 |
| jfenn2199 | Oh yes especially getting to slow traffic on a road that bike lanes are presently contested on made it all the better (imagine being in a car stuck behind 50 cyclist 2 in a row on a street where business owners are screaming for shared lanes saying bike lanes are going to slow traffic) | 05:46 |
| Unit193 | That might be worth it right there, but I don't have a working bike at this time to do so. My sister took a ride this morning though! | 05:48 |
| jfenn2199 | well if you're in the Memphis area and have a non-working bike a friend of mine and I specialize in mobile repairs | 05:50 |
| Unit193 | Heh, that I really don't, but you can ask cyber about me (I'm SURE you know him ;) ) | 05:52 |
| jfenn2199 | oh yes before I went ghost I was all over the place with this team and now that I have consistent internet access I plan to again! | 05:54 |
| Unit193 | That's great! pace_t is head, cyber is lead of his area, wr|st and someone else of their area and I'm sorry that I can't remember the last one, but I can grep logs if you wish to know :) | 05:56 |
| Unit193 | Was picking a horror movie a bad idea at 2am? :P | 06:24 |
| jfenn2199 | never | 06:42 |
| jfenn2199 | night all | 08:12 |
| cyberanger | Unit193: can't believe I missed jfenn2199, but yeah, he was the PoC out west for a term, plus I think he's been a member out there for at least another year | 15:38 |
| cyberanger | hard to beat the guys who've already said it (including him) ;-) | 15:38 |
| * cyberanger applauds Unit193's effort. (no jok) | 15:38 | |
| * cyberanger applauds Unit193's effort. (no joke) | 15:38 | |
| cyberanger | Unit193: dunno if jfenn2199 had got the memo of resigning the trustee title, and pace getting it, and any election results, figure he would from the site & list | 15:43 |
| cyberanger | pace_t_zulu: just got to thinking, perhaps we should email reminders & summaries for the meeting | 15:44 |
| cyberanger | seems the list has more members than any other loco asset (well, aside from launchpad's count, which I take with a grain of salt) | 15:45 |
| cyberanger | wrst: you awake? | 15:50 |
| wrst | dhey cyberanger | 17:16 |
| wrst | hmm | 17:16 |
| wrst | hey cyberanger! | 17:16 |
| cyberanger | hey wrst, rare you have a quiet morning | 17:16 |
| wrst | cyberanger: been moving stuff so not very quiet :) | 17:16 |
| cyberanger | lol, finally moving eh, bout time ;-) | 17:17 |
| wrst | how are you doing cyberanger? | 17:17 |
| wrst | been moving for a month it seems! | 17:17 |
| * cyberanger pulls out the calendar, points out that's cause it's been a month ;-) | 17:18 | |
| wrst | really... hmm guess it has! | 17:18 |
| cyberanger | not bad, battery seems to have died overnight (checked for any human error, switches on the lights, door ajar (leaving any door lights on) none | 17:19 |
| cyberanger | so swapping out the car battery with a stronger deep cycle (truck won't mind, neither will the battery for some short term usage) | 17:19 |
| wrst | that makes me think i gotta get a battery backup for the house | 17:20 |
| cyberanger | makes me think why have you not already? ;-) | 17:22 |
| cyberanger | (part of why I choose to standardise myself on 12vdc is this sort of thing, insured a ton of interoperability) | 17:22 |
| cyberanger | & you know me, I've got a backup plan for a backup plan | 17:23 |
| cyberanger | (just not enough cash to carry out every little plan) | 17:23 |
| wrst | cyberanger: i've seen some battery backups that people build out of deep cycle batteries have them under their house hooked into the fuse box etc etc | 17:24 |
| cyberanger | it's not like I'm filthy stinking rich like bruce wayne, with a fancy batcomputer hidden under my house that I've dubbed the batcave | 17:25 |
| * cyberanger wonders if wrst notes the reference to last nights joke | 17:25 | |
| wrst | ha ha cyberanger :) | 17:26 |
| cyberanger | wrst: yeah, apartment here so I can't quite do that, sorta flipped it around, laptops & netbooks battries last long enough to swap off the MAINS & onto the gelcells | 17:26 |
| wrst | i am going to have to get one just to keep my server, modem, and router up | 17:27 |
| wrst | something that will keep them up 5-10 minutes will take care of pretty much any outage we have | 17:27 |
| cyberanger | how powerful a computer? | 17:28 |
| wrst | atom processor | 17:28 |
| cyberanger | PSU rating? | 17:31 |
| wrst | hmm don't know let me check | 17:31 |
| wrst | cyberanger: 300W | 17:33 |
| cyberanger | high, but the question is actual pull | 17:37 |
| cyberanger | modem & router is easy for that margin, but I think that server needs an actual UPS, which can provide 15 minutes of juice, but can command a shutdown after that (lest you deplete the battery too far without a charge controller | 17:38 |
| cyberanger | which is a fair concern) | 17:38 |
| wrst | yeah it doesn't pullw near 300 | 17:45 |
| cyberanger | but the issue is still how much juice for how long | 18:32 |
| Unit193 | I have an old APC that I have hooked up | 18:35 |
| wrst | cyberanger: I have considered a backup generator for our entire house but that gets high $$ | 18:40 |
| cyberanger | oh yeah | 18:40 |
| * cyberanger says in his british accent, have you seen the price of petrol lately, it's costing me 5 quid for a liter | 18:43 | |
| * wrst doesn't understand british | 18:53 | |
| cyberanger | quid, slang for pound (like buck for dollar here) | 18:55 |
| cyberanger | liter, metric | 18:55 |
| cyberanger | basically I said gas is high | 18:55 |
| * wrst understands that much british :P | 19:16 | |
| Unit193 | Middle TN vs Purdue. Sorry about your loss | 21:20 |
