[18:08] <dorgan> I'm here too now DammitJim
[18:10] <DammitJim> that's cheating, dude!
[18:22] <zus> hey guys
[18:36] <maxolasersquad> Hey zus 
[18:36] <zus> maxolasersquad,  howdy...
[18:47] <zus> does anyone use google voice? i just set one up hoping to use my laptop as a glorified cell phone...but im afraid  having to chose a number for it to ring when people call my google number might go against  prepaid minutes
[18:50] <maxolasersquad> I use GoogleVoice.
[18:51] <maxolasersquad> If you make calls from your laptop, like through the Call button feature in GMail, then it has nothing to do with your cell phone and is free.
[18:52] <maxolasersquad> If you make a call by having it ring your cell phone so when you pick up the call it calls the other person, then yes, even during the ringing, it is using your cell minutes.
[18:55] <zus> thanks  maxolasersquad  cos i haev 4 minutes left till nextt month
[18:56] <zus> silly walmart tracfones
[19:30] <maxolasersquad> My daughter has a GVoice account and uses it to call her friends.  I gave her my headset and she really enjoys it.  One day I'll get her a proper microphone so she isn't tethered to her machine.
[19:57] <dorgan> hello all
[19:57] <dorgan> is the release party planned yet?
[20:37] <zus> maxolasersquad,  yeah i need new headset mic,..
[20:55] <dorgan> DammitJim: you still around?
[20:57] <DammitJim> yeah
[20:57] <DammitJim> did you fix it?
[20:57] <DammitJim> or do you need me to beam it? ;)
[21:00] <dorgan> nah i fixed it
[21:00] <dorgan> so instead of takinga day for my process to run its now going to take ~1 hour
[21:01] <dorgan> and then i have to do 2 more processes just to have 1 states worth of data :)  then 22 states to go
[21:02] <DammitJim> what did you change?
[21:07] <dorgan> instead of issuing a query for each possible +4 value...i just issue one query for the entire zip code
[21:08] <dorgan> so i went from issuing 10,000 queries to 1
[21:08] <dorgan> lol
[21:09] <dorgan> such a novel SQL practice, and since i been just trying to wrap my head around all this GIS stuff to begin with it never even occurred to me to do that.
[21:09] <dorgan> All for freaking Sales Tax
[21:16] <DammitJim> lol
[21:16] <DammitJim> awesome, dude!
