[00:15] jrwren: I got the amiga running, but the mouse needs some work [01:25] :( [01:34] No worries [02:26] Heh, didn't realize there's a Michigan reference in Yes' "America" [02:26] "Kathy," I said, as we boarded the greyhound in Pittsburgh [02:26] "Michigan seems like a dream to me now [02:26] Took me four days to from Saginaw [02:26] They've all gone to look for America [02:26] All gone to look for America." [02:27] s/four days to from/ four days to hitchhike from [02:27] Apparently it's a Paul Simon song as well. [02:28] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America_(Paul_Simon_song) [12:54] morning [12:55] is it? [12:55] rumor has it [13:06] oooh-hoo, rumor has it... [13:06] [13:17] Good morning [13:32] That snap-l always has to go a step too far and prepend "good" to it.... [13:32] Wolfger: Yep, I'm a rebel [13:33] I thought we had to leave "good" off on Monday's on principle alone [13:33] ooh, except we have to congrats greg-g! [13:34] greg-g: pro tip...let them take the little guy to the nursery at night. We didn't take them up on it and ugh [13:35] Oh, the baby was born? Congrats, greg-g [13:35] and snap-l's Amiga was reborn? [13:36] Wolfger: Uh, no [13:36] ...and snap-l didn't realize "America" was a Simon and Garfunkel tune? For shame. [13:37] Wolfger: I didn't relize that the Yes version was a cover. [13:37] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EReWi009IL4 [13:38] snap-l: No on the amiga? I just saw that you told jrwren you got it working. [13:38] ok, enough scrollback. Need to live in the present. [13:38] Wolfger: It was in working condition [13:38] I "plugged it in" [13:39] "I got the amiga running" implies a bit more that the ability to use a plug socket :-p [13:40] Wolfger: Perhaps [13:44] http://jalopnik.com/5866981/10-wheel-custom-buick-must-be-seen-to-be-believed/gallery/1 [13:45] I shall buy this car and dub it "Gentoo" [13:45] ++ [13:46] but, uh... if that's a buick, why does it have a Dodge grill? [13:46] and a back end reminiscent of an El Camino? [13:47] They're really stretching the definition of "Buick" here... [13:47] Wolfger: That's not all they're stretching the definition of [13:47] That many axles I believe is licensed as a commercial truck in Michigan. [13:48] OK, now that I RTFA I see they've already addressed my concerns. :-p [13:48] don't you hate it when that happens? [13:49] nothing ruins a good grump like people addressing concerns [13:49] Yeah, I would hate to pay the bridge/tunnel toll on that many axels [13:49] Wolfger: I asked the same question [13:49] or the toll roads in ohio for that matter [13:49] Also, I don't think you could drive it in anything other than a straight line [13:50] not witout tearing the back tires to shreds. [13:51] I wonder how many axles are powered [13:51] front wheel drive [13:51] sounds like ... 1 [13:58] I love German... The word for "internet user" is Internetnutzer [13:58] which is entirely too appropriate [14:00] German: The Reeses Peanut Butter cup language [14:00] or the Red Green Duck Tape language, take your pick [14:00] shut up, nutzer. :-) [14:01] lnutzer. :-P [14:01] lol [14:01] that doesn't quite translate [14:13] http://functionsource.com/post/mugeda-drawing-shapes-in-the-cloud in reference to what it'll take to eventually replace flash [14:14] sorry, in reference to the point I've made a number of times during death of flash discussions [14:24] functionsource-- for having a website that refuses to display anything until you allow scripts to run [14:34] http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/124533/will-it-hurt-my-reputation-if-i-dont-deliver-what-im-expected-to [14:34] A: "What do *you* think?" [14:46] programmers.se, where every question can be honestly answered by "What do you think?" [14:49] Heh. Not every question, but a lot of them. [14:49] Yeah, there's a few that are honest-to-god cud-chewers. [14:49] But whenever I find a question that I feel is a good question on there, I have the impulse to migrate it to Stack Overflow.... [14:50] But most of them are essentially procrastination. [14:50] reason: "this is a good question, so doesn't belong here" [14:55] rick_h_: That Mugeda is pretty interesting [14:55] rick_h_: Did you bring up the tool? [14:56] yea, not quite replacement for adobe flash editor, but that's what's going to be needed to kill off flash [14:56] tools [14:56] Oh, absolutely. [14:57] We have the wood, and the idea of what we want to build, now it's time to get the right tools. [15:15] oh geez, here we go with the woodworking metaphor.... ;-) [15:16] http://ebb.org/bkuhn/blog/2011/11/24/google-plus.html <- Just one question, and one question only... [15:16] ... so, do you use a telephone? :) [15:16] I mean, you don't "own" the infrastructure [15:16] and they use proprietary codecs [15:18] my freetardation senses are tingling... [15:20] I think I'm going to write a parody post. [15:20] Hell, do you use the internet? How many of those routers are using proprietary protocols between nodes/satellites (I'm looking at you cisco). [15:30] Although now I wonder if RMS uses a telephone... It wouldn't surprise me too much if he didn't... [15:32] heh, you know, I wouldn't be surprised too much either [16:39] some interesting pendants for your geek women http://www.etsy.com/shop/surly [16:40] oooh, even a FSM pendant [16:40] Interesting. [16:43] medical http://www.etsy.com/listing/87479150/ode-to-the-doctor-or-rod-of-asclepius [16:45] snap-l: for jodee http://www.etsy.com/listing/84532632/talk-nerdy-to-me-ceramic-necklace-in [16:46] http://www.etsy.com/listing/88483545/surlyardis-ceramic-necklace-in-speckled <- More for her... ;) [16:46] http://www.etsy.com/listing/88241261/the-scientific-method-ceramic-necklace [16:47] yeah, i'm looking at those too [16:48] oh, did you see http://www.rimmell.com/bbc/news.htm [16:48] No, I hadn't. [16:48] That's awesome. :) [16:49] And they're pulling lost Doctor Who episodes from space. [16:49] i like that they have no clue what is bouncing it back [16:52] it's the doctor with a big frickin mirror saving the episodes [16:54] i got lucy in the sky with diamonds for my wife and FSM for a friend [16:59] OK, it's a 2009 April Fools joke. [16:59] damnit [17:00] the article? [17:00] Yes, look at the date [17:00] damnit [17:06] LOL [17:06] that's got to be one of the better jokes, still getting people 2.5 years later [18:27] SO, what's the good word? [18:27] die bugs die [18:27] snap-l: so you have a start date? [18:27] That's three [18:27] rick_h_: Yep, next year [18:28] have they decided to call you "rick jr" or "mini rick"? [18:28] I think I'm going to call myself Rick James, bitch. :) [18:29] start date? [18:31] Early January. [18:31] first week [18:31] Wolfger: Oh, sorry. I'm heading to Morpace in January [18:32] Let me clarify my question: What are you starting? ;-) [18:32] Ah, ok [18:32] I can't keep up with all your job jumping [18:32] Right, because I jump sooo many times. :) [18:33] Wolfger: i know, these guys move every year or two. crazy [18:34] I wonder what makes them so unemployable.... [18:34] Well, in the case of SF.net, it was bad quarters [18:34] whose jumping jobs? [18:34] the games at the arcade wouldn't accept your pay? [18:35] jjesse: the jumping jobs belong to snap-l [18:35] or did you mean "who's"? ;-) [18:35] ah :) so congrats on something new snap-l ? [18:36] Something old, something new [18:36] rick_h_'s old employer hired me new. [18:36] ah [18:36] did you demand to not have to deal with NC Guy? [18:37] No, I want to deal with NC dude. [18:38] Wolfger: don't remember those old PSAs? "You can learn a lot from a dummy" [18:39] Heh. [19:04] Almost done with all of my disc rips [19:05] Have a hanfdul left. [19:28] lol "You could learn a lot from a NC Dude...like proper calming breathing patterns, and the best medications for high blood pressure, and marvelous levels of self control" [19:38] hah [19:43] snap-l enjoys pain and frustration, which is why he goes to meijer's every sunday afternoon [19:43] brousch: you betcha. [19:53] <_stink_> snap-l: congrats! [19:53] ? [19:54] _stink_: thanks! [19:54] ColonelPanic001: morpace [19:55] _stink_: I thought you knew already? [19:55] ah, yeah [19:56] <_stink_> snap-l: nope. probably overlooked something in the scrollback :) [19:56] lol, it's like a second round of happiness [19:57] rick_h_: Congratulations on your new job. :) [19:58] <_stink_> haha [19:58] * snap-l keeps it going. ;) [20:00] * snap-l is a little bummed, though [20:00] going into an office means I'll have to submit to a dress code [20:00] means I'll have to start wearing pants again [20:01] <_stink_> don't let the man tell you not to wear t-shirts with holes. [20:03] JoDee seriously got a note in the mail (paper mail) asking her to click on a link [20:08] <_stink_> that's some impressive paper [20:22] * snap-l wonders if they keyboard intro for Baba O'Riley would make a great ringtone [20:27] what is baba o'riley? [20:30] Who Song [20:31] You might know it as "Teenage Wasteland" [20:35] DUN [20:35] DUN DUN [20:35] DUN [20:35] DUN DUN [20:36] <_stink_> yes [20:37] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YN-MUx6dg6w&feature=related <- snap-l et al [20:38] God, I hate when I do "grep -nr "somestuff"", forgetting the "*" at the end, then sit there and wait, wondering why it's going so slowly. [20:39] heh [20:48] I've done that way too many times [20:48] also, Tracfone can die in a fire. [20:49] That is all [21:02] noted [21:42] Ho boy, got something from the Michigan Economic Development Corp. [21:42] Learn how to write software code. IT degree not required [21:42] Don’t skip over those software coding job listings when reading the want ads. [21:43] Not saying people can't do it, but seems these sorts of cattle calls just end up with people who think development is just pressing keys on a keyboard. [21:44] I do push a lot of buttons on the keyboard [21:45] ColonelPanic001: Right, but do you think that's the extent of development? [21:45] n [21:46] I just use my forehead, man. I see what sticks, and commit. [21:46] it's not a very quick method, but I assure you, it's kind of fun. [21:46] If it doesn't stick, you must commit? :) [21:47] if it compiles, ship it! [21:47] git commit -m "aljhOIJUAS09UR93UJOIJKLJ ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEQQQQQQQQ" [21:47] git commit -m "Fuck it" [21:47] git push [21:47] git blame [21:47] haha [21:47] I want to use "fuck it" as a default if none is provided
