[02:55] <snap-l> rick_h__: Awwwwww
[07:55] <_stink_> rick_h__: haha, those are awesome
[17:21] <rick_h__> wow, a 10hr night of sleep and 3hr nap later and I almost feel human again
[18:02] <snap-l>  rick_h__ Welcome back to the land of the living.
[18:02] <rick_h__> thanks!
[18:02] <snap-l> How was the trip home?
[18:02] <rick_h__> so so
[18:02] <rick_h__> I just stayed up the night before
[18:02] <rick_h__> so was running out of steam
[18:02] <rick_h__> and hard time concentrating on anything, reading, computing, etc
[18:02] <rick_h__> so that last flight was just not fun
[18:03] <snap-l> Ugh
[18:03] <snap-l> On the plus side, I have a copy of Illuminati that I can bring to CHC. ;)
[18:03] <rick_h__> yea, 8hr is really a nice limit for a flight. I can't imagine the guys going to Australia
[18:03] <rick_h__> who are just now getting home kind of thing
[18:03] <snap-l> I can't either
[18:04] <snap-l> or even the ones that have the 8 hr flights with a few layovers
[18:04] <snap-l> I think I'd want to shoot someone.
[18:05] <rick_h__> yea, it's a bit crazy
[18:05] <rick_h__> but yea, everything was really sweet. So glad I got to go
[18:05] <snap-l> Yeah, it sounds like you had a great time over there.
[18:06] <snap-l> Not every day you can say you redid Launchpad's widget library. ;)
[18:06] <rick_h__> yea, very disconnected
[18:06] <rick_h__> but lots of good work done
[18:06] <rick_h__> though I got a bit sucked in and worked after/early most days
[18:06] <snap-l> rick_h__: I think that's the idea.
[18:06] <snap-l> You start living / breathing work
[18:07] <snap-l> If you tried to do a sprint like that remotely, it wouldn't be as effective
[18:07] <snap-l> but in the same room, with people getting excited, means you can work miracles
[18:07] <rick_h__> yea, well a lot of it was good social time. I've never been in a room where the americans were such a minority in some cases
[18:07] <snap-l> it's why people don't run marathons by themselves unless they're crazy.
[18:07] <rick_h__> right
[18:10] <rick_h__> snap-l: so how was the work week? You've not run screaming yet? :)
[18:11] <snap-l> heh
[18:11] <snap-l> It was pretty good.
[18:11] <snap-l> John's starting me off on some technical debt.
[18:11] <snap-l> with the AP stuff
[18:11] <rick_h__> yea, that's always good
[18:12] <rick_h__> yea, that's been meant to be cleaned for a while
[18:12] <snap-l> It's needed it
[18:12] <rick_h__> I know that was what we were going to hire someone to do and I was going to help train/bootstrap them
[18:12] <rick_h__> it's nice because you can start there and it's a smaller easier bit to get involved with
[18:13] <snap-l> Yeah, I think the sysadmin experience was also a plus because I think about things like process locking during the design phase. ;)
[18:13] <rick_h__> :)
[21:29] <snap-l> What's shaking?
[23:41] <rick_h__> party
