[00:15] <snap-l> jrwren: I got the amiga running, but the mouse needs some work
[01:25] <jrwren> :(
[01:34] <snap-l> No worries
[02:26] <snap-l> Heh, didn't realize there's a Michigan reference in Yes' "America"
[02:26] <snap-l> "Kathy," I said, as we boarded the greyhound in Pittsburgh
[02:26] <snap-l> "Michigan seems like a dream to me now
[02:26] <snap-l> Took me four days to from Saginaw
[02:26] <snap-l> They've all gone to look for America
[02:26] <snap-l> All gone to look for America."
[02:27] <snap-l> s/four days to from/ four days to hitchhike from
[02:27] <snap-l> Apparently it's a Paul Simon song as well.

[12:54] <rick_h_> morning
[12:55] <brousch> is it?
[12:55] <rick_h_> rumor has it
[13:06] <Wolfger> oooh-hoo, rumor has it...

[13:17] <snap-l> Good morning
[13:32] <Wolfger> That snap-l always has to go a step too far and prepend "good" to it....
[13:32] <snap-l> Wolfger: Yep, I'm a rebel
[13:33] <rick_h_> I thought we had to leave "good" off on Monday's on principle alone
[13:33] <rick_h_> ooh, except we have to congrats greg-g!
[13:34] <rick_h_> 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] <Wolfger> Oh, the baby was born? Congrats, greg-g
[13:35] <Wolfger> and snap-l's Amiga was reborn?
[13:36] <snap-l> Wolfger: Uh, no
[13:36] <Wolfger> ...and snap-l didn't realize "America" was a Simon and Garfunkel tune? For shame.
[13:37] <snap-l> Wolfger: I didn't relize that the Yes version was a cover.
[13:37] <snap-l> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EReWi009IL4
[13:38] <Wolfger> snap-l: No on the amiga? I just saw that you told jrwren you got it working.
[13:38] <Wolfger> ok, enough scrollback. Need to live in the present.
[13:38] <snap-l> Wolfger: It was in working condition
[13:38] <snap-l> I "plugged it in"
[13:39] <Wolfger> "I got the amiga running" implies a bit more that the ability to use a plug socket :-p
[13:40] <snap-l> Wolfger: Perhaps
[13:44] <snap-l> http://jalopnik.com/5866981/10-wheel-custom-buick-must-be-seen-to-be-believed/gallery/1
[13:45] <snap-l> I shall buy this car and dub it "Gentoo"
[13:45] <Wolfger> ++
[13:46] <Wolfger> but, uh... if that's a buick, why does it have a Dodge grill?
[13:46] <Wolfger> and a back end reminiscent of an El Camino?
[13:47] <Wolfger> They're really stretching the definition of "Buick" here...
[13:47] <snap-l> Wolfger: That's not all they're stretching the definition of
[13:47] <snap-l> That many axles I believe is licensed as a commercial truck in Michigan.
[13:48] <Wolfger> OK, now that I RTFA I see they've already addressed my concerns. :-p
[13:48] <dzho> don't you hate it when that happens?
[13:49] <dzho> nothing ruins a good grump like people addressing concerns
[13:49] <Wolfger> Yeah, I would hate to pay the bridge/tunnel toll on that many axels
[13:49] <snap-l> Wolfger: I asked the same question
[13:49] <Wolfger> or the toll roads in ohio for that matter
[13:49] <snap-l> Also, I don't think you could drive it in anything other than a straight line
[13:50] <snap-l> not witout tearing the back tires to shreds.
[13:51] <Wolfger> I wonder how many axles are powered
[13:51] <rick_h_> front wheel drive
[13:51] <rick_h_> sounds like ... 1
[13:58] <Wolfger> I love German... The word for "internet user" is Internetnutzer
[13:58] <Wolfger> which is entirely too appropriate
[14:00] <snap-l> German: The Reeses Peanut Butter cup language
[14:00] <snap-l> or the Red Green Duck Tape language, take your pick
[14:00] <Wolfger> shut up, nutzer. :-)
[14:01] <snap-l> lnutzer. :-P
[14:01] <Wolfger> lol
[14:01] <Wolfger> that doesn't quite translate
[14:13] <rick_h_> http://functionsource.com/post/mugeda-drawing-shapes-in-the-cloud in reference to what it'll take to eventually replace flash
[14:14] <rick_h_> sorry, in reference to the point I've made a number of times during death of flash discussions
[14:24] <Wolfger> functionsource-- for having a website that refuses to display anything until you allow scripts to run
 http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/124533/will-it-hurt-my-reputation-if-i-dont-deliver-what-im-expected-to
[14:34] <Wolfger> A: "What do *you* think?"
[14:46] <snap-l> programmers.se, where every question can be honestly answered by "What do you think?"
[14:49] <Wolfger> Heh. Not every question, but a lot of them.
[14:49] <snap-l> Yeah, there's a few that are honest-to-god cud-chewers.
[14:49] <Wolfger> 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] <snap-l> But most of them are essentially procrastination.
[14:50] <Wolfger> reason: "this is a good question, so doesn't belong here"
[14:55] <snap-l> rick_h_: That Mugeda is pretty interesting
[14:55] <snap-l> rick_h_: Did you bring up the tool?
[14:56] <rick_h_> yea, not quite replacement for adobe flash editor, but that's what's going to be needed to kill off flash
[14:56] <rick_h_> tools
[14:56] <snap-l> Oh, absolutely.
[14:57] <snap-l> We have the wood, and the idea of what we want to build, now it's time to get the right tools.
[15:15] <Wolfger> oh geez, here we go with the woodworking metaphor.... ;-)
[15:16] <snap-l> http://ebb.org/bkuhn/blog/2011/11/24/google-plus.html <- Just one question, and one question only...
[15:16] <snap-l> ... so, do you use a telephone? :)
[15:16] <snap-l> I mean, you don't "own" the infrastructure
[15:16] <snap-l> and they use proprietary codecs
[15:18] <Wolfger> my freetardation senses are tingling...
[15:20] <snap-l> I think I'm going to write a parody post.
[15:20] <krondor> 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] <Wolfger> Although now I wonder if RMS uses a telephone... It wouldn't surprise me too much if he didn't...
[15:32] <ColonelPanic001> heh, you know, I wouldn't be surprised too much either
[16:39] <brousch> some interesting pendants for your geek women http://www.etsy.com/shop/surly
[16:40] <brousch> oooh, even a FSM pendant
[16:40] <snap-l> Interesting.
[16:43] <brousch> medical http://www.etsy.com/listing/87479150/ode-to-the-doctor-or-rod-of-asclepius

[16:46] <snap-l> http://www.etsy.com/listing/88241261/the-scientific-method-ceramic-necklace
[16:47] <brousch> yeah, i'm looking at those too
[16:48] <brousch> oh, did you see http://www.rimmell.com/bbc/news.htm
[16:48] <snap-l> No, I hadn't.
[16:48] <snap-l> That's awesome. :)
[16:49] <snap-l> And they're pulling lost Doctor Who episodes from space.
[16:49] <brousch> i like that they have no clue what is bouncing it back
[16:52] <brousch> it's the doctor with a big frickin mirror saving the episodes
[16:54] <brousch> i got lucy in the sky with diamonds for my wife and FSM for a friend
[16:59] <snap-l> OK, it's a 2009 April Fools joke.
[16:59] <snap-l> damnit
[17:00] <brousch> the article?
[17:00] <snap-l> Yes, look at the date
[17:00] <brousch> damnit
[17:06] <Wolfger> LOL
[17:06] <Wolfger> that's got to be one of the better jokes, still getting people 2.5 years later
[18:27] <snap-l> SO, what's the good word?
[18:27] <rick_h_> die bugs die
[18:27] <rick_h_> snap-l: so you have a start date?
[18:27] <snap-l> That's three
[18:27] <snap-l> rick_h_: Yep, next year
[18:28] <brousch> have they decided to call you "rick jr" or "mini rick"?
[18:28] <snap-l> I think I'm going to call myself Rick James, bitch. :)
[18:29] <Wolfger> start date?
[18:31] <snap-l> Early January.
[18:31] <snap-l> first week
[18:31] <snap-l> Wolfger: Oh, sorry. I'm heading to Morpace in January
[18:32] <Wolfger> Let me clarify my question: What are you starting? ;-)
[18:32] <Wolfger> Ah, ok
[18:32] <Wolfger> I can't keep up with all your job jumping
[18:32] <snap-l> Right, because I jump sooo many times. :)
[18:33] <brousch> Wolfger: i know, these guys move every year or two. crazy
[18:34] <Wolfger> I wonder what makes them so unemployable....
[18:34] <snap-l> Well, in the case of SF.net, it was bad quarters
[18:34] <jjesse> whose jumping jobs?
[18:34] <Wolfger> the games at the arcade wouldn't accept your pay?
[18:35] <Wolfger> jjesse: the jumping jobs belong to snap-l
[18:35] <Wolfger> or did you mean "who's"? ;-)
[18:35] <jjesse> ah :) so congrats on something new snap-l ?
[18:36] <snap-l> Something old, something new
[18:36] <snap-l> rick_h_'s old employer hired me new.
[18:36] <jjesse> ah
[18:36] <Wolfger> did you demand to not have to deal with NC Guy?
[18:37] <snap-l> No, I want to deal with NC dude.
[18:38] <brousch> Wolfger: don't remember those old PSAs? "You can learn a lot from a dummy"
[18:39] <Wolfger> Heh.
[19:04] <snap-l> Almost done with all of my disc rips
[19:05] <snap-l> Have a hanfdul left.
[19:28] <rick_h_> 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] <snap-l> hah
[19:43] <brousch>  snap-l enjoys pain and frustration, which is why he goes to meijer's every sunday afternoon
[19:43] <snap-l> brousch: you betcha.
[19:53] <_stink_> snap-l: congrats!
[19:53] <ColonelPanic001> ?
[19:54] <snap-l> _stink_: thanks!
[19:54] <snap-l> ColonelPanic001: morpace
[19:55] <snap-l> _stink_: I thought you knew already?
[19:55] <ColonelPanic001> ah, yeah
[19:56] <_stink_> snap-l: nope.  probably overlooked something in the scrollback :)
[19:56] <rick_h_> lol, it's like a second round of happiness
[19:57] <snap-l> 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] <snap-l> going into an office means I'll have to submit to a dress code
[20:00] <snap-l> 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] <snap-l> 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] <brousch> what is baba o'riley?
[20:30] <snap-l> Who Song
[20:31] <snap-l> You might know it as "Teenage Wasteland"
[20:35] <ColonelPanic001> DUN
[20:35] <ColonelPanic001> DUN DUN
[20:35] <ColonelPanic001> DUN
[20:35] <ColonelPanic001> DUN DUN
[20:36] <_stink_> yes
[20:37] <dzho> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YN-MUx6dg6w&feature=related <- snap-l et al
[20:38] <ColonelPanic001> 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] <rick_h_> heh
[20:48] <snap-l> I've done that way too many times
[20:48] <snap-l> also, Tracfone can die in a fire.
[20:49] <snap-l> That is all
[21:02] <ColonelPanic001> noted
[21:42] <snap-l> Ho boy, got something from the Michigan Economic Development Corp.
[21:42] <snap-l> Learn how to write software code. IT degree not required
[21:42] <snap-l> Don’t skip over those software coding job listings when reading the want ads.
[21:43] <snap-l> 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] <ColonelPanic001> I do push a lot of buttons on the keyboard
[21:45] <snap-l> ColonelPanic001: Right, but do you think that's the extent of development?
[21:45] <snap-l> n
[21:46] <ColonelPanic001> I just use my forehead, man. I see what sticks, and commit.
[21:46] <ColonelPanic001> it's not a very quick method, but I assure you, it's kind of fun.
[21:46] <snap-l> If it doesn't stick, you must commit? :)
[21:47] <brousch> if it compiles, ship it!
[21:47] <ColonelPanic001> git commit -m "aljhOIJUAS09UR93UJOIJKLJ ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEQQQQQQQQ"
[21:47] <snap-l> git commit -m "Fuck it"
[21:47] <snap-l> git push
[21:47] <snap-l> git blame
[21:47] <ColonelPanic001> haha
[21:47] <ColonelPanic001> I want to use "fuck it" as a default if none is provided
