| jrwren | not familiar with the L | 00:04 |
|---|---|---|
| jrwren | we have a 3700 at the office, I think. | 00:04 |
| jrwren | it is nice, but a little buggy | 00:04 |
| rick_h__ | yea, I threw off netgeat long ago and never looked at them | 00:04 |
| rick_h__ | so really out of touch, then again I tend to get a router every few years and don't pay attention anyway | 00:05 |
| jrwren | i've had this wrt54gl for a long time now. | 00:14 |
| jrwren | since wifi sucks, I have no intention of replacing it. | 00:14 |
| snap-l | Yeah, I lvove the WRT54GL | 00:14 |
| snap-l | The only reason that I'm thinking of upgrading is because I want gigabit ethernet and Wireless N | 00:16 |
| jrwren | i bought a trendnet GREEN gigabit switch. | 00:18 |
| jrwren | VERY low power. <3 it | 00:18 |
| jrwren | its basically free to have it on all the time. | 00:18 |
| jrwren | not like the router with wifi that costs about $5/mo in electricity | 00:18 |
| snap-l | Right, but I want to have both devices in one. :) | 00:50 |
| jrwren | yeah, i actually needed a hub at that particular physical location, different from where my wifi router is. | 01:16 |
| rick_h__ | yea, separate switch ftw! | 01:19 |
| rick_h__ | home based routers/switches like that don't have decent enough hardware to maintain good solid connections anyway | 01:19 |
| snap-l | Thing is, the only things wired are the printer and my desktop | 01:21 |
| jrwren | then why do you need gigabit? | 01:58 |
| snap-l | Because when I do hook up something else, I want the speed. ;) | 02:16 |
| snap-l | and I want my prints to be BLAZINGLY FAST | 02:16 |
| Wolfger | Morning. | 12:33 |
| snap-l | morning | 13:07 |
| brousch | you are correct | 13:10 |
| snap-l | Thank you. | 13:11 |
| brousch | no, thank you | 13:12 |
| rick_h__ | morning | 14:27 |
| brousch | old news | 14:29 |
| rick_h__ | yea yea...well got to sleep in until 8:30 today so I'm behind :) | 14:30 |
| Wolfger | :-p | 14:30 |
| snap-l | rick_h__: Nice. :) | 14:30 |
| snap-l | That's one thing that scares me about $NEWJOB | 14:30 |
| snap-l | I like sleep | 14:31 |
| rick_h__ | snap-l: all good, John doesn't get in until after 9 usually | 14:31 |
| snap-l | hah | 14:31 |
| Wolfger | I got to sleep until... 1 AM? Then I got to toss and turn until 4:45. Then I gave up. | 14:31 |
| rick_h__ | most the rest of us were 7-8am'ers | 14:31 |
| snap-l | Well, it's also because JoDee's got early classes this time around | 14:31 |
| snap-l | so it'll be competition for the bathroom | 14:32 |
| rick_h__ | you can do it! win win win! | 14:32 |
| snap-l | heh | 14:32 |
| Wolfger | Oh fer crying out loud... I just found out my contract house no longer owns a fax. They use the fax machine of the business next door. | 14:33 |
| rick_h__ | scanner + email? | 14:34 |
| brousch | wtf do you need a shower if you're working from home? | 14:34 |
| Wolfger | rick_h__: They headhunt tech people. They are not tech people themselves... | 14:34 |
| rick_h__ | any of you guys read pandoras star? | 14:35 |
| Wolfger | I believe my contract house currently consists of the owner and a secretary. They aren't even open 5 days a week anymore. Times are tough. | 14:35 |
| snap-l | Wolfger: Which house? | 14:35 |
| Wolfger | rick_h__: Never read it, but it sounds very cool | 14:38 |
| Wolfger | snap-l: American Heritage | 14:38 |
| rick_h__ | Wolfger: heh, just took a half hour off on a tagent for such a small point. Thinking this is going to be a "big" book | 14:39 |
| snap-l | Wolfger: Not familiar with them | 14:39 |
| snap-l | rick_h__: http://www.amazon.com/Pandoras-Star-Peter-F-Hamilton/product-reviews/0345461622/ref=cm_cr_dp_synop?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=0&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending#R3NXP49QOOQY9W | 14:40 |
| rick_h__ | oh crap...nothing is resolved in the book? You have to read part 2? | 14:42 |
| rick_h__ | *sigh* | 14:42 |
| snap-l | That said, it sounds interesting | 14:43 |
| brousch | welcome to west MI! http://www.wzzm13.com/rss/article/191807/14/Cougar-attack-in-Allendale | 15:15 |
| mydogsname1srudy | loads up his gun and traps and heads south | 15:17 |
| Wolfger | *sigh* More sensationalized headlines... "cougar attack"... There's no mention of hot 40-something women in that article at all... ;-) | 15:17 |
| brousch | there is a 40-something woman in that article | 15:17 |
| Wolfger | There is? | 15:18 |
| brousch | she smokes so you know she's classy | 15:20 |
| snap-l | http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=te8jt-jUkm8#! <- rick_h__ | 15:37 |
| snap-l | The raspberry pi is supposed to be a cheap coputer for kids to program | 15:37 |
| rick_h__ | snap-l: interesting I guess | 15:41 |
| snap-l | it can play quake 3 | 15:41 |
| Wolfger | brousch: No mention of age. It's implied that she lives with her father, so I assumed she was young. But then, she also has kids... | 15:58 |
| brousch | there is a video :P | 15:59 |
| Wolfger | <-- no video at work | 16:00 |
| Wolfger | Wow. Somebody just left a comment (non-spam so far as I can tell) on my 3+ year old blog post about the OpenMoko Freerunner. I'd forgotten that phone even existed. | 16:04 |
| snap-l | http://www.jerkcity.com/jerkcity4755.html | 16:04 |
| snap-l | Wolfger: The spiritual predecessor to the Android platform | 16:05 |
| snap-l | or at least that's what folks would lead you to believe. ;) | 16:05 |
| Wolfger | which folks, other than yourself? | 16:06 |
| snap-l | I thought this came up before | 16:06 |
| snap-l | I said that the open moko was essentially doomed from the start | 16:07 |
| Wolfger | It's been over a year since I've heard anybody say anything about it, and it's not relevant enough for me to remember what anybody said about it for longer than that... :-p | 16:08 |
| snap-l | Man, I really want to know how it can go from 9:30 to 11:13 so quickly. | 16:09 |
| * Wolfger wonders how snap-l got 4 minutes into the future | 16:10 | |
| Scott_firebeta | aliens | 16:10 |
| snap-l | Wolfger: Blame JoDee's clock in the other room | 16:10 |
| snap-l | It's on JST | 16:10 |
| Wolfger | heh | 16:10 |
| snap-l | (JoDee standard time) | 16:10 |
| Wolfger | I just can't believe it's the 21st century and we still have clocks that aren't auto-sync'd to a master.... | 16:11 |
| snap-l | Don't get me started. | 16:11 |
| Wolfger | Clocks being off is such a 19th century problem (well, and most of the 20th as well) | 16:12 |
| Wolfger | In my utopian future, all timekeeping devices wirelessly sync to an atomic clock in UTC | 16:14 |
| Wolfger | and 11:13 will occur simultaneously for every person in the world | 16:14 |
| Wolfger | screw this time zone and daylight savings crap | 16:15 |
| nullspace | Wolfger, I think you can make that happen using a wireless router | 16:15 |
| Wolfger | and clocks that flash 12:00 until you set them | 16:15 |
| Wolfger | nullspace: I think you are using a different definition of "all"... Making this happen is far more a human issue than a tech issue. | 16:16 |
| Wolfger | of course, I could beat dissenters to death with the wireless router in question.... | 16:17 |
| Wolfger | it would take time, but eventually that router would solve my issue. | 16:17 |
| nullspace | some one used a router and wired up a couple of 7 segment displays to the serial port. | 16:20 |
| nullspace | http://www.biffer.talktalk.net/sweex/clock/ | 16:21 |
| Wolfger | It occurs to me that snow is ninja rain. You never hear it coming. | 16:25 |
| krondor | rick_h__: how was chc? It seems like even when I think I have time, fail. | 18:08 |
| rick_h__ | krondor: heh, all good. Got a lot of good bookie work done | 18:09 |
| rick_h__ | light night, but that's the holidays for ya | 18:10 |
| krondor | nice, yeah we had a datacenter outage so I was called back in, got back home at 6:00 am. | 18:11 |
| snap-l | Ugh, that's no good | 18:12 |
| rick_h__ | ouch | 18:12 |
| krondor | yeah I won't get into the evil that is our power system (power surge blew a hole in our UPS system before going dark). | 18:13 |
| rick_h__ | a 'hole'? nice | 18:13 |
| krondor | Hopefully someone with cash will take notice now and fix our crap | 18:13 |
| krondor | yeah a literal hole actually | 18:14 |
| brousch | yikes | 18:14 |
| snap-l | Yeah, you'd think someone would take notice of that | 18:15 |
| krondor | it's happened before, our UPS is homebuilt and pretty old. | 18:17 |
| krondor | I'm pretty sure the guy that designed the system has retired | 18:18 |
| krondor | makes the redundant generators kind of unecessary if your spof is behind them | 18:18 |
| snap-l | Heh | 18:43 |
| rick_h__ | http://michaelcrump.net/11-things-every-software-developer-should-be-doing-in-2012 | 18:51 |
| rick_h__ | get out there devs | 18:51 |
| brousch | no | 18:55 |
| rick_h__ | hot damn, stuff it starting to get close | 18:59 |
| brousch | eh? | 19:03 |
| brousch | your aneurysm? | 19:04 |
| rick_h__ | https://github.com/mitechie/Bookie/commits/feature/jsui | 19:04 |
| rick_h__ | https://github.com/mitechie/Bookie/commit/86f4eb42de1d84883013082a0d6484cdc1bf1cd9 | 19:04 |
| rick_h__ | in particular | 19:05 |
| rick_h__ | today is "daddy day" so I'm spending the afternoon hacking at the coffee shop | 19:05 |
| brousch | heh | 19:05 |
| brousch | i got a new camera. canon powershot s95 | 19:06 |
| rick_h__ | nice | 19:07 |
| brousch | it has some manual settings so hopefully i can learn a little more photography | 19:08 |
| greg-g | brousch: that is a nice camera, good choice | 19:45 |
| snap-l | Nothing like looking at people unsubscribe from a low-traffic mailing list after you post two messages. | 19:45 |
| brousch | snap-l: spammer | 19:45 |
| snap-l | Really, I don't have a complex. ;) | 19:45 |
| greg-g | snap-l: :) I've noticed that too | 19:46 |
| brousch | i find that i forget i'm such lists, and the emails remind me that i meant to unsubscribe | 19:46 |
| snap-l | It's like "seriously? Two messages in the past month broke you enough to unsubscribe?" | 19:46 |
| snap-l | brousch: Understood | 19:46 |
| snap-l | I just find it amusing | 19:47 |
| snap-l | I've done the same. | 19:47 |
| brousch | this camera has some cool features: fish-eye, miniature mode, RAW+JPEG, smile and wink detection, HDR | 20:17 |
| brousch | tracking autofocus | 20:19 |
| brousch | can fix red-eye right on the camera | 20:25 |
| _stink_ | wink detection? | 20:51 |
| _stink_ | to find creepy guys? | 20:51 |
| brousch | no, to trigger a photo when you're in it | 20:52 |
| brousch | you setup the camera, get in the photo, wink, then it takes a photo 2s later | 20:52 |
| brousch | it also has blink detection, which tells you if someone in the photo has their eyes closed | 20:53 |
| _stink_ | holy crap | 20:53 |
| _stink_ | nice | 20:53 |
| brousch | crazy stuff | 20:53 |
| snap-l | Also has googly eyes detection to see if your kids made faces at the camera | 20:54 |
| brousch | heh | 20:55 |
| krondor | so one of these things is not like the other; http://www.techradar.com/news/software/operating-systems/13-weird-and-wonderful-niche-linux-distros-1046624 | 20:55 |
| krondor | Not saying Gentoo isn't niche, but it has a huge market share compared with these other niche distros | 20:57 |
| brousch | oooh, ubuntu SE | 20:58 |
| krondor | if you put ubuntu SE and ubuntu CE people in the same room what happens? You discover the Higgs? | 21:00 |
| brousch | if you dual boot them you destroy the earth | 21:05 |
| snap-l | I've always thought GNewSense should be pronounced "GNuisance" | 21:50 |
| snap-l | When did Best Buy's site start sucking? | 22:10 |
| snap-l | Seriously, can't tell the inventory of a store without going three levels deep | 22:10 |
