[00:00] <ChinnoDog> jedijf: maybe you could start that service
[00:00] <ChinnoDog> irc obituaries
[00:00] <jedijf> heck might as well have a cemetary too
[00:01] <jedijf> irc cemetary
[00:01] <pleia2> wb ChinnoDog
[00:01] <jedijf> he's not here
[00:01] <pleia2> oh I see
[00:01] <jedijf> just setting up znc
[00:01] <jedijf> peolly just to ping his phone if anyone mentions his name...not knowing was killing him
[00:02] <pleia2> ok, we'll have to stop talking about him then
[00:02] <rmg51> talking about who?
[00:02] <jedijf> it has been a traumatic time, the undoing of webOS and all
[00:03] <rmg51> can't talk about someone who isn't here
[00:03] <pleia2> poor webos
[00:03]  * pleia2 wanders toward grocery store
[00:03] <jedijf> i wonder if wharton is studting that. stop development; sell more stuff
[00:03] <jedijf> studying
[00:04]  * rmg51 eyes his bed
[00:44] <ChinnoDog> this might be more trouble than it is worth
[00:54] <rmg51> are you really here?
[00:55] <JonathanD> Morning.
[00:56] <ChinnoDog> no
[01:04] <pleia2> IdleOne was using an irc bouncer for a while
[01:04] <IdleOne> bouncers are nice when on a machine you know won't be rebooting too often.
[01:04] <IdleOne> much like the one I was using for a while
[01:04] <IdleOne> :)
[01:05] <pleia2> lol
[01:05] <pleia2> it's better now!
[01:05] <pleia2> I think
[01:05] <pleia2> hopefully
[01:06] <IdleOne> pleia2: I didn't have trouble with it. a couple of reboots but I think those were planned
[01:06] <pleia2> IdleOne: ah, you haven't been running it lately :) it's been a disaster
[01:06] <IdleOne> I did see that they changed server recently
[01:07] <pleia2> they moved us to a new host which also hosted a bunch of boxes running compromised versions of kloxo
[01:07] <pleia2> such a disaster
[01:07] <pleia2> I complained a lot, they moved us good sysadmins back to a stable box and gave me a 1 month credit
[01:07] <IdleOne> but moved you away from there right?
[01:07] <IdleOne> good :)
[01:07] <pleia2> so here's hoping we're ok now, it's only been a couple days
[01:08] <MutantTurkey> finally back online after hurricane...
[01:08] <IdleOne> I'm just to lazy to reconfigure my znc.
[01:08] <pleia2> IdleOne: oh yeah, I installed debian
[01:08] <IdleOne> figure my machine is on all the time anyway
[01:08] <pleia2> :)
[01:08] <pleia2> IdleOne: how's op-land going? nice to see you're still sane
[01:09] <IdleOne> op land is umm, exhausting.
[01:09]  * pleia2 nods
[01:09] <IdleOne> actually just a few minutes ago I had to backspace to keep myself from banning people who were discussing 11.10 in #ubuntu
[01:10] <pleia2> hah
[01:10] <IdleOne> the amount of people who don't understand the concept of on topic/ off topic is amazing
[01:10] <pleia2> that's for sure
[01:11] <IdleOne> So when are we all becoming Uncles/Aunts by proxy?
[01:11] <IdleOne> hehe
[01:11] <IdleOne> nothing like putting you on the spot huh
[01:11]  * pleia2 still has a wedding to plan
[01:11] <JonathanD> my boys need someone to hang out with.
[01:11] <JonathanD> just saying.
[01:12] <pleia2> lol
[01:12] <JonathanD> pleia2: josh is in middle school.
[01:12] <pleia2> yeah, my cats hid from them
[01:12] <pleia2> wow :)
[01:12] <IdleOne> JonathanD: so is my son, they grow up so fast
[01:12] <JonathanD> too fast
[01:12] <JonathanD> it shouldn't be allowed.
[01:12] <IdleOne> tell me about it.
[01:13] <JonathanD> if he doesn't go to bed soon this will be his last year of middle school.
[01:13] <pleia2> lol
[01:13] <IdleOne> haha
[01:13] <JonathanD> he's reading in the bathroom. I know it.
[01:13] <IdleOne> "I love you son but I can make another one like you. GO TO SLEEP!"
[01:14] <ChinnoDog> That sounded warm and fuzzy
[01:15] <IdleOne> another reason why i never setup znc again is because I didn't want to bother pleia2 with explaining ssh/gpg to me again.
[01:15] <pleia2> it's really no trouble :)
[01:15] <IdleOne> your on vacation now aren't you?
[01:15] <IdleOne> you're
[01:16] <pleia2> IdleOne: nah, I was just away for the holiday weekend
[01:16] <IdleOne> ah, cool
[01:16] <IdleOne> I saw the post but didn't pause to look at the pics
[01:17] <pleia2> it turns out that when your flight is only 2 hours long and sleep takes a back seat, it's cheap and fun to take advantage of every 3 day weekend to go on an adventure :)
[01:18] <ChinnoDog> pleia2: are you using bitlbee for facebook or something else?
[01:18] <IdleOne> hehe ikonia is now yelling at the same guy I was about to yell at
[01:19] <pleia2> ChinnoDog: I don't use facebook chat
[01:19] <ChinnoDog> I would like to not use fb chat since it is so unreliable, but...
[01:19] <ChinnoDog> sometimes I need to talk to peeps that can't use anything else
[01:19] <IdleOne> teach them IRC
[01:24] <ChinnoDog> yea right
[01:30] <waltman> Ya know, I generally love Debian, but its habit of wanting to remove all the customizations I've made to config files for each new version of a package is maddening.
[01:30] <waltman> Oh well, I'm not even running tor anymore...
[01:30] <JonathanD> waltman: I discovered at work today... I have a win 7 box there with firefox. Each new version of firefox has to be re-pinned to the taskbar because the exe info changes.
[01:31] <JonathanD> And it seems now there is a new version every 3 days...
[01:31] <waltman> Oh dear.
[01:31] <JonathanD> almost enough to make me use chrome.
[01:31] <JonathanD> Almost
[01:32] <waltman> Just what I was about to say :)
[01:32] <JonathanD> You have to wonder about the people who make these decisions.
[01:32] <JonathanD> Somehow IE can stay in the same spot, but firefox can't.
[01:32] <waltman> I'm still using chrome because firefox just looks so much uglier, at least in windowmaker.
[01:32] <JonathanD> thunderbird has the same "bug"
[01:32] <JonathanD> eek
[01:33] <JonathanD> I wonder if this is why I have 2 launch icons on ubuntu for firefox now?
[01:33] <JonathanD> didn't occur to me it might be the same base cause...
[01:33] <waltman> hah
[01:33] <JonathanD> now THATS multiplatform.
[01:34] <JonathanD> "Please make sure bugs occur on all target operating systems"
[01:37] <JonathanD> Morning.
[02:11] <ChinnoDog> I can't change the bitlbee port. The documentation in the config file says debconf overrides it. debconf?
[02:14] <InHisName> Just what time zone are you in now, JonathanD ?
[09:36] <rmg51> Morning
[09:36] <rmg51> the "real" morning :-D
[10:08] <InHisName> Been up since 3:20, but too busy working on draining basement till now.
[10:08] <InHisName> Morning
[10:16] <rmg51> o/
[10:18] <JonathanD> Morning.
[10:20] <rmg51> \o
[10:24] <JonathanD> I like the flashlights on woot.
[10:31] <rmg51> I like the flashlights in my apt. :-D
[10:33] <JonathanD> I like flashlights.
[10:53] <JonathanD> I feel like I'm herding cats this morning.
[14:57] <MutantTurkey> basement flooded again :|
[14:57] <MutantTurkey> world record going here.
[15:06] <jedijf> is that were the computers live?
[15:06] <jedijf> where
[15:06] <JonathanD> ho dear.
[15:06] <JonathanD> *oh dear
[15:06] <JonathanD> my "floodwall" has held so far.
[15:06] <JonathanD> However, I had water in the basement window in the storage room.
[15:17] <MutantTurkey> jedijf: yes
[15:18] <MutantTurkey> luckily they weren't hit
[15:18] <MutantTurkey> though I think my subwoofer is totally done for
[15:22] <jedijf> ginos bensalem...now hiring!!!!
[15:45] <InHisName> IT or hogie makers, jedijf ?
[16:01] <JonathanD> mmm hoagie
[17:26] <waltman> InHisName: the cheesesteak place is "Geno's", the burger place is "Gino's".
[17:26] <waltman> completely different!
[19:55] <InHisName> So it's a burger flippin' job ?
[19:55] <InHisName> Or a flippin' burger job
[19:56] <InHisName> I wooted today
[20:20] <waltman> InHisName: the mini-gps?
[20:20] <waltman> fsvo "mini"
[20:23] <MutantTurkey> either way you are cooking meat.
[20:23] <MutantTurkey> but I just took a 4 hour nap laying in the puddle of my basement
[20:23] <MutantTurkey> I felt like a real wild man
[20:23] <MutantTurkey> i shortly returned to reality with pancakes
[20:24] <waltman> MutantTurkey: Was it just like being at the beach, but without the hassle of having to leave your house?
[21:00] <TheEvilPhoenix> so i'm not the only one being flooded :P
[21:00]  * TheEvilPhoenix is currently at the Central PA PEMA headquarters
[21:48] <waltman> :(
[21:48] <waltman> TheEvilPhoenix: Actually I live up on a big hill so I'm fine, and my neighborhood looked OK during the Wawa run I just made.
[21:49] <waltman> But I hear that Wynnewood, about 3-4 miles east of here, got like 11 inches of rain overnight. Plus all of Bryn Mawr's as it flowed down the hill! :)
[21:57] <TheEvilPhoenix> waltman:  which region of PA?
[21:57]  * TheEvilPhoenix is currently tracking Harrisburg and Wilkesbarre
[22:00] <TheEvilPhoenix> i'm tracking those regions because they're under evac watches
[22:00] <TheEvilPhoenix> or evac orders
[22:01] <jedijf> now hiring means soon feeding; which is why i was excited
[22:03] <TheEvilPhoenix> oh that explains it... Wilkes-Barre is under an evacuation order - thats over 100000 people o.o
[22:14] <mr`zilla> o.o What is happening on that end of the state?
[22:14] <TheEvilPhoenix> mr`zilla:  PEMA's mobilized - horridly evil amounts of rain
[22:14] <TheEvilPhoenix> past 3 days, 3 days of rain
[22:14] <TheEvilPhoenix> the rivers are flooding
[22:14] <TheEvilPhoenix> http://water.weather.gov/resources/hydrographs/harp1_hg.png   http://water.weather.gov/resources/hydrographs/wbrp1_hg.png
[22:15] <mr`zilla> TheEvilPhoenix: Ouch :/  It's been pretty much bone dry this way except for a few sprinkles.
[22:15] <TheEvilPhoenix> the graphs of current river stages and predicted
[22:15] <TheEvilPhoenix> mr`zilla:  which end of the state, western?
[22:15] <mr`zilla> TheEvilPhoenix: About 20 miles outside of Pittsburgh.
[22:16] <TheEvilPhoenix> ah yeah, you're fine
[22:16] <TheEvilPhoenix> my hometown is pittsburgh
[22:16] <TheEvilPhoenix> but i'm a university student at penn state harrisburg
[22:16] <TheEvilPhoenix> so...
[22:16] <mr`zilla> Canonsburg, technically, but my hometown is Nitro, WV.
[22:16] <TheEvilPhoenix> (I'm at PEMA headquarters because i have friends in the government :P)
[22:17] <mr`zilla> I have a mother-in-law in the government, but I doubt Social Security can do much for me at 26.
[22:17] <mr`zilla> :P
[22:17] <TheEvilPhoenix> :P
[22:17]  * TheEvilPhoenix has friends HIGH up in the state government :P
[22:17] <mr`zilla> Hey, GS-14 nothing to scoff at :P
[22:17] <TheEvilPhoenix> like near the top of the food chain of the state, high :P
[22:17]  * TheEvilPhoenix points at the org chart for the governor's office :P
[22:17] <mr`zilla> is nothing*
[22:17] <TheEvilPhoenix> ANYWAYS
[22:17] <mr`zilla> ANYWAY
[22:18]  * TheEvilPhoenix goes back to tracking flood stages
[22:18] <TheEvilPhoenix> (I'm in the emergency ops center for central pa o.o)
[22:18] <mr`zilla> TheEvilPhoenix: Your dedication to IRC is astounding, my good man.
[22:18] <TheEvilPhoenix> :P
[22:18] <waltman> TheEvilPhoenix: I'm in the western suburbs of Philadelphia, about a 10 minute walk from Villanova.
[22:19] <TheEvilPhoenix> waltman:  ah, sounds pretty horrid.  everything okay over there?  :P
[22:19] <waltman> they seemed to be in my neighborhood, but I didn't go very far.
[22:20]  * TheEvilPhoenix checks the flood stages in and around the philly area
[22:21] <TheEvilPhoenix> philly and the immediate areas around it should be okay...
[22:22] <TheEvilPhoenix> but man, wilkes-barre has it horridly
[22:22] <TheEvilPhoenix> what was their river stage...
[22:22] <TheEvilPhoenix> almost 40 ft?
[22:22] <TheEvilPhoenix> yep, 38.52 feete
[22:22] <TheEvilPhoenix> feet*
[22:22] <TheEvilPhoenix> at 5:45
[22:24] <mr`zilla> TheEvilPhoenix: Perhaps this is nature's way of saying, "I couldn't reach you with a hurricane, the earthquake didn't do much, but at least I can flood your rivers!"  It must be that time for poor ol' ma.
[22:24] <TheEvilPhoenix> possibly
[22:24] <TheEvilPhoenix> but perhaps its just that stupid hurricane katia that was off the coast having all these storm fronts hovering overhead
[22:25] <mr`zilla> Well, either way you look at it, it seems like the planet is just a bit irked at the moment.
[22:27] <TheEvilPhoenix> *shrugs*
[22:27] <TheEvilPhoenix> PEMA's at EOC level 1 which is disaster situation level
[22:27] <TheEvilPhoenix> so
[22:30] <mr`zilla> Get out of Dodge and come home for a bit?
[22:31] <TheEvilPhoenix> cant
[22:31] <TheEvilPhoenix> no way out of the city
[22:31] <TheEvilPhoenix> car's a shared vehicle...
[22:31] <TheEvilPhoenix> the trains are shut down
[22:31] <TheEvilPhoenix> airport's unreachable
[22:31] <mr`zilla> What do they expect you to do?  Find a large hill and wait it out?
[22:32] <TheEvilPhoenix> dunno
[22:33] <waltman> wtf, w-b was 40 *feet* over flood stage?
[22:33] <mr`zilla> They're at 38ft now.
[22:33] <mr`zilla> Graph says 22ft is flood stage,
[22:33] <TheEvilPhoenix> waltman:  yeah, 22ft is flood stage
[22:33] <waltman> ah
[22:34] <mr`zilla> Forty feet over would be some really nasty Biblical flooding.
[22:34] <TheEvilPhoenix> indeed
[22:34] <waltman> 16' is enough, I'd think
[22:51] <andrew> which river/location?
[22:51] <andrew> waltman: ^
[22:52] <jedijf> google bought zagat...now i eat google too
[22:52] <waltman> whatever runs through Wilkes-Barre.
[22:53] <TheEvilPhoenix> andrew:  i have that info here
[22:53] <TheEvilPhoenix> one sec
[22:53] <waltman> Susquehanna.
[22:53] <TheEvilPhoenix> andrew:  susquehanna river @ Wikes-Barre
[22:53] <TheEvilPhoenix> andrew:  http://water.weather.gov/resources/hydrographs/wbrp1_hg.png
[22:56] <andrew> The bottom of the page that graphic is from lists the details for the various river heights: http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=bgm&gage=wbrp1&view=1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1%22
[22:56] <andrew> 41	LEVEE PROTECTION
[22:56] <andrew> 36	NESCOPECK BOROUGH BEGINS TO FLOOD.
[22:57] <TheEvilPhoenix> mhm
[22:57] <andrew> so... it will be quite close to the top of the levee
[22:57] <TheEvilPhoenix> well according to the PEMA brief last night...
[22:57] <TheEvilPhoenix> the issue isnt the levees, but the area outside of the levees
[22:57] <TheEvilPhoenix> they're afraid of much more widespread damage
[22:57] <TheEvilPhoenix> and it not just coming OVER the levees, but AROUND the levees
[22:59] <TheEvilPhoenix> oh, and Wilkes-Barre is already under mandatory evac
[22:59] <TheEvilPhoenix> by their own county authorities' call
[23:00] <TheEvilPhoenix> and did I mention that PEMA's EOC for central and eastern PA is at level 1 (disaster conditions)?
