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