| * h00k pokes tonyyarusso and sparklehistory | 02:23 | |
| sparklehistory | Yes, h00k? | 02:33 |
|---|---|---|
| h00k | sparklehistory: just trying to wake up Ubuntu MN! | 02:33 |
| sparklehistory | Apparently everyone is out causing mayhem on Halloween | 02:34 |
| h00k | Oh, that's right | 02:34 |
| h00k | I keep forgetting Halloween is tonight | 02:34 |
| sparklehistory | Yup, or so the plethora of FB pics of oddly dressed people suggests | 02:37 |
| sparklehistory | h00k: So what's up with you lately? Doing anything fun? | 02:39 |
| h00k | sparklehistory: lots of fun! | 02:39 |
| h00k | sparklehistory: work, studying for VCP, playing with my Arduino | 02:40 |
| h00k | I'm trying to make some plan for christmas lights | 02:40 |
| h00k | some synch'd show | 02:40 |
| sparklehistory | That sounds cool, the light displays that have some sort of movement and scenes are always fun. | 02:45 |
| sparklehistory | You guys are in your own house now, right? | 02:45 |
| tonyyarusso | h00k: Internet-controllable Christmas lights? | 02:59 |
| tonyyarusso | sparklehistory: No - they're squatting. | 02:59 |
| h00k | sparklehistory: we're housesitting | 03:02 |
| h00k | sparklehistory: Not internet controllable, but maybe light-sound dealio with my Arduino | 03:03 |
| sparklehistory | h00k: Ah, okay. So you have somewhere to put said Christmas lights. And I think Internet controllable Christmas lights with a streaming webcam would be awesome. | 03:03 |
| tonyyarusso | h00k: Internet-controllable or it doesn't count. | 03:09 |
| h00k | tonyyarusso: NO U | 03:10 |
| h00k | Also, I have Frontier for internet. You think that's reliable? | 03:10 |
| tonyyarusso | well, no, but oh well | 03:10 |
| tonyyarusso | Clearly you need to buy a dial-back modem system for it. | 03:10 |
| h00k | or just get an ethershield | 03:18 |
| h00k | do some static natting | 03:18 |
| h00k | and done. | 03:18 |
| Takyoji | tonyyarusso: No, each bulb has to be IPv6 accessible and controllable, or it doesn't count. | 03:19 |
| tonyyarusso | haha, yes! | 03:20 |
| * h00k sighs | 03:20 | |
| h00k | I don't have *that* much free time. | 03:20 |
| Takyoji | Anyway, for the curious; the Penumbra series and Amnesia: The Dark Descent are only $5 each today; all cross-platform: http://www.penumbragame.com/buy.php | 03:21 |
| Takyoji | http://www.amnesiagame.com/#buy | 03:21 |
| Takyoji | Gogogo | 03:21 |
| tonyyarusso | h00k: Make Brittany do all of your other tasks until you have your Christmas lights ready. Problem solved. | 03:22 |
| h00k | tonyyarusso: sure, she can take a VCP test! | 03:22 |
| tonyyarusso | Yep! | 03:22 |
| tonyyarusso | It's not like you were gonna pass anyway. | 03:23 |
| h00k | dohoho | 03:23 |
| h00k | that's why I've rescheduled twice. | 03:23 |
| h00k | apparently it's one of the hardest tests. | 03:23 |
| h00k | says some guy that I know who'se uber-certified | 03:23 |
| Takyoji | What cert are we talking of? :P | 03:24 |
| Takyoji | VMWare Certified Professional? | 03:25 |
| sparklehistory | h00k: Don't listen to tonyyarusso, that does not sound like a good way to start of a marriage :P | 03:25 |
| h00k | Takyoji: yes, that one. | 03:41 |
| h00k | sparklehistory: no worries :) I know. | 03:41 |
| Takyoji | Gah, Unity, I want to kill you. | 03:41 |
| Takyoji | Trying to play a fullscreen game and it overlaps | 03:41 |
| Takyoji | it also overlaps my screensaver | 03:41 |
| sparklehistory | h00k: Just generally doing to opposite of his relationship advice is probably the way to go... | 03:42 |
| tonyyarusso | h00k: Listen to sparklehistory - it's all true! | 03:42 |
| * tonyyarusso giggles | 03:42 | |
| sparklehistory | tonyyarusso: Aren't you clever :P | 03:43 |
| h00k | I hear tonyyarusso will be using an iPhone, too. I won't follow that advice. | 03:43 |
| tonyyarusso | Yeah, not sure how that happened. | 03:44 |
| h00k | :( | 03:44 |
| Takyoji | Gah, even the whole sidebar stays open and overlapped | 03:44 |
| Takyoji | FFUUUUUUU | 03:44 |
| tonyyarusso | I don't think I can really complain about getting a brand new phone though, huh? | 03:44 |
| Takyoji | MUST. KILL. CANONICAL. | 03:44 |
| tonyyarusso | just use Gnome3 instead | 03:45 |
| sparklehistory | tonyyarusso: Probably not, especially such a cool one | 03:45 |
| Takyoji | anyway I find it interesting for Canonical allegedly to bring some variant of Ubuntu or similar to smartphones; because in all honesty, there isn't enough competition/choices. | 03:45 |
| Takyoji | Since Symbian is kind of gone to my understand now, and HP has bastardized WebOS (which I have) | 03:46 |
| h00k | tonyyarusso: it's an iPhone. | 03:47 |
| h00k | standards, man. Standards. | 03:48 |
| h00k | lol @ get a PC with Windows/iTunes to use it. | 03:48 |
| tonyyarusso | h00k: Uh, my standards are "makes phone calls". I have a dumb phone. | 03:48 |
| h00k | tonyyarusso: also, 'use computers' or 'surf internet' but you use Linux! | 03:48 |
| Takyoji | my standards are 'able to write own applications, do wifi packet injection, etc' :P | 03:48 |
| tonyyarusso | Apparently the 4S doesn't require a PC to set up. | 03:48 |
| h00k | progress! | 03:49 |
| sparklehistory | tonyyarusso: Couldn't you just set it up at work anyways | 03:50 |
| tonyyarusso | It seems like most of the Android phones still have some annoying issues buried in them too. | 03:50 |
| tonyyarusso | sparklehistory: of course | 03:50 |
| tonyyarusso | with ze brand new Lion MacBook Pro. | 03:50 |
| tonyyarusso | that supposedly might be ready tomorrow, maybe | 03:51 |
| h00k | oi. tonyyarusso is converting :( | 03:51 |
| sparklehistory | tonyyarusso: All right, now you're just showing off :P | 03:51 |
| h00k | all hope is lost, etc, etc. | 03:51 |
| tonyyarusso | h00k: don't worry - it'll dual-boot Ubuntu :) | 03:51 |
| sparklehistory | tonyyarusso: So you're only semi-converting then | 03:52 |
| tonyyarusso | I'm not converting anything - none of my gear is changing. | 03:53 |
| h00k | sure, sure... | 03:56 |
| h00k | not yet, anyway. | 03:56 |
| tonyyarusso | Um, I've had two other jobs where I had Macs at work, and I'm still here. | 03:57 |
| sparklehistory | tonyyarusso: Yeah, but neither one of them gave you an iPhone | 03:58 |
