tjagodaI need to browse around launchpad in preparation for my 10 minute monday interview01:45

tjagoda"We go clubbin' on the weekends, rick_h and I."01:48
rick_htjagoda: heh, not sure that's the best bet yet.01:49
tjagodaI am kidding.01:50
tjagodaExcept the part about clubbing.01:50
tjagodaThats 300% truth.01:50
rick_hwoot! do do do dum dum dum clubbing01:51
tjagodahttp://r721.livejournal.com/10526.html01:52
tjagodaHoly christ01:52
tjagodahttps://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/wat02:29
tjagoda^ That is good.02:29
rick_hyea, Gary is awesome02:29
rick_hman, having co-workers in Australia sucks. I've been working late/early every night since I got back from budapest02:30
rick_hdon't they know it's dark outside?!02:30
jjessewow is there something making ou have those weird hours?02:30
rick_hwe started a group project in budapest we're trying to get landed still02:31
rick_hand it was kind of my baby so I'm the goto for "this is broken, how do we fix it?"02:31
tjagodaI wonder how often the support dudes travel02:31
rick_hright now travel is near nil02:32
rick_hunless you're the cloud folks really02:32
tjagodaSurges up around UDS times probably?02:32
rick_hit depends on where you're at. LP only sends one/two guys to UDS02:33
rick_hunity guys go more often to get feedback/discuss that, etc02:33
tjagodaMakes sense02:33
tjagodaI am not opposed to travel02:35
tjagodaBut constant large trips would grate on me eventually I think02:35
rick_hyea, it's cool. But I don't think you'd see a ton of it personally02:35
tjagodaLike those roaming consultants who live out of suitcases 323 days out of the year02:35
rick_hafter pycon I think I'll be grounded the rest of the year02:35
tjagodaI dont understand how thats possible02:35
rick_hheh, like jjesse :)02:35
jjessehey i was only in a hotel 103 nights this year02:37
_stink_damn02:37
jjessei think my high is 130?02:38
jjesseso its down02:38
snap-ltjagoda: Wow, that's disgusting02:38
jjesse2 weeks in a row is pretty doable, the 3rd week is hard02:39
jjesseif i trail 4 weeks in a row I take my wife and sone w/ me02:39
tjagodaOur ERP consultant02:42
tjagodaLogged 300+ hotel days last year02:43
tjagodaI think it was in the 330's02:43
jjessei have some co-workers like that02:43
jjessemonths on the road02:43
_stink_god02:46
_stink_i hope they don't know anyone02:46
jjessethe head of our consultants joke that employees aren't allowed to either be married or marry :)02:47
tjagodaIts insane02:47
tjagodayou have to live in some kind of tiny condo or something02:47
tjagodathere is no way you can afford to have a lawn with 330 hotel days =P02:47
greg-gscrew even renting, just stay in a hotel at "home" if you're only there 35 days/year03:11
jjesseexactly03:11
greg-git'd be free with all your points, anyway03:11
jjesseas long as you gt  all the bonuses :)03:11
tjagodaI dont even comprehend that much travel logistically03:12
tjagodaLaundry would be painful03:12
jjessenot really most hotels will do it for you03:13
jjessedry clean etc03:13
tjagodaThis is news to me03:13
jjesseit will cost you03:13
tjagoda<--- obviously not a consultant03:13
jjessebut they will take care of it03:13

tjagodaBrousch uses windows print services?13:50
brouschmy computers print to the printers13:50
rick_hsnap-l: ever seen anything that looked like it'd be fun for a 2yr old to drum on?13:52
rick_hthe boy is requesting B.B. King and likes to "bang bang drum!"13:52
tjagodaI like to pose questions and then immediately leave the room.13:53
brouschrick_h: my son liked those cheap plastic drum sets13:54
brouschthey last about 6 months, but they're fun13:54
brouschtjagoda: i noticed13:54
brouschtjagoda: my computers print directly to our networked printers13:54

rick_hthinking of getting this: http://www.amazon.com/Remo-Rhythm-Club-Floor-Tom/dp/B0002EB5JO/ref=pd_bxgy_MI_img_c13:57
tjagodabrousch: I like that he rolls with the cymbals upside down13:58
brouschsomeone linked to one of those a few weeks ago13:58
brouschit looks like it has a real head, could be loud13:59
rick_hbrousch: yea, reviews are solid, might try that out and see where he goes with it13:59
brouschcheap13:59
brouschinexpensive i should say13:59
rick_hyea, exactly, first start to see13:59
tjagodaI also like that he rolls with the golf club14:00
rick_hthey must have something at day care because he comes home talking about "bang bang drum!"14:00
tjagodaYou're breeding him to be a Tiger Woods rockstar hybrid14:00
brouschtjagoda: he was always losing his drum sticks14:00
tjagodalol14:00
tjagoda"Lose THIS."14:00
rick_hman, the abuse that drum set must have taken over time...14:01
brouschall of the toms broke off14:01
tjagodaHe just destroys the cymbal over and over again, its awesome14:01
brouschhe went through 2 or 3 of those cheap sets14:01
brouschfun times14:02
tjagodabetter than destroying the pots/pans I imagine14:02
brouschnow he has a real drum set and it's so loud we listen from a floor away14:02
brouschhe started with pots and pans. used to drag them all out on the floor, line them up, and go to town with a wooden spoon14:04
snap-lrick_h: We got my little niece something similar14:08
snap-llet me find the link14:08
snap-lhttp://www.amazon.com/Remo-Percussion-Diameter-Mallet-Forest/dp/B0002F7KUG/ref=pd_sim_t_1814:09
snap-lIt's pretty solid, and comes with two mallets.14:09
rick_hsnap-l: ah very cool14:09
snap-lThe tone is a little "off", but it's a quality instrument14:10
snap-lat the least, it'll take some doing for him to undo it.14:10
brouschoh this is awesome http://www.droid-life.com/2012/01/26/after-update-googles-music-manager-allows-download-of-all-your-music-straight-from-the-cloud/14:12

brouschnow i can pull my music out of my dropbox backup14:12
snap-lbrousch: How is George doing with his drumming?14:13
brouschsnap-l: very good14:13
brouschhe has been addicted to the 20th century fox fanfare and first song of star wars for a few weeks now. he's really getting them down14:13
snap-lHah14:14
brouschhe brings his laptop downstairs, cranks it up, and plays along with youtube videos14:14
snap-ldrum-corps.14:14
snap-lWhen he's old enough, and still interested, definitely check those out14:14
brouschalso wii music has a dedicated drum set using the wii fit pad. it's pretty cool14:15
snap-lI never did those (was in marching band instead), but from what I've heard, they'll give you some wicked chops14:15
snap-lbrousch: I managed to pass on Wii Music. Is it fun?14:15
brouschi'm aweful at it, but george and my wife do well14:15
snap-lHeh14:16
brouschawful14:16
brouschthough really how bad i am can inspire awe14:16
snap-lOh c'mon. :)14:16
snap-lYou just need practice. ;)14:16
brouschyou mean check out this thing? http://www.dci.org/corps/14:16
brouschi'm not bad at the cowbell14:17
snap-lSomething similar14:17
snap-lNot sure how much they have local14:17
snap-land not necessarily the competitive aspect (that might kill off the enthusiasm)14:17
snap-lWow, so my order already has a tracking number from NewEgg14:20
snap-lwhy again would I pay $2.99 for the expedited order packaging?14:20
snap-lThough I'm a little annoyed that UPS won't let me track it yet (even if just to say "hey, we just have the order"14:22
nullspacesnap-l: might not have reached a UPS center yet14:30
nullspaceI'm waiting on my replacement keyboard for my T60,.. apprently it's coming from china because it's taking 2-3weeks14:31
nullspacemy e key plastic spring broken in half, ... eh 7+ years of abuse...14:32
brouschnullspace: you've been abusing E for 7 years? you must be a fun guy to hang out with14:36
snap-l;)14:42
snap-lnullspace: Yeah, better to replace the whole keyboard than try to replace those plastic springs14:43
snap-lthose are a PITA14:43
nullspaceyum pita .....14:49
tjagodaMakes you yearn for the 50's, those plastic springs.14:57
tjagodaA time where everything was made of solid metal, and then coated in asbestos.14:57
tjagodaAhhhh...14:57
brouschthen dipped in mercury before being painted with lead15:03
tjagodaAnd summarily used as water pipe.15:37
nullspaceawesome, update decided to break xlock, sucktastic15:42
brouschjudging by the name, that is a screensaver locker?15:46
brouschso i assume the update addresses the recent bug where you could unlock any linux computer with a certain key combo15:47
tjagodalol15:48
tjagodaYay security15:48
tjagodaStill better than old school windows passwords, where the cancel button is actually just a bypass button15:48
snap-lnullspace: Considering the update was to improve security for X, I'm not surprised.15:49
tjagodaUbuntu is just painfully ripping bandaids off for you15:54
tjagodaYour welcome!15:54
tjagodaYou're*15:54
rick_hwasn't that the problem? There was some quick/easy way to bypass the xlock screen?15:54
nullspacerick_h: I saw that but could never reproduce it16:06

jrwrenanyone know what kind of disk image testdrive creates?18:03
brouschi would assume virtualbox, but i am just assuming18:06
snap-lGah, just realized that the connection I had my headphones wasn't tight. Was wondering why it sounded like everything was out of phase.18:25
rick_hsnap-l: heh, I had that yesterday "damn I'm having to crank this volume up...wtf"18:25
snap-lrick_h: Well, even better: I just TOUCHED the back of this machine, and it corrected.18:26
snap-lI eagerly await whatever bad-ground is in store for me. ;)18:27
tjagodaRandom disconnect?18:30
tjagodaDid anybody else get that?18:30
rick_hnet split18:30
brouschgeezumpete. no wonder people don't like to develop for android http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2012/01/say-goodbye-to-menu-button.html18:31
tjagodaAhh18:31
tjagodaI suddenly became concerned for the health of my T1's.18:31
snap-lbrousch: If you think that is bad, think of being an Apple Developer sometime. :)18:35
brouschthey don't do things like remove the menu button18:35
snap-lNo, they don't giv you a menu button to start. :)18:36
brouschi assume they give you standard way to access a "menu"18:36
snap-lNo, they give you an action-bar-alike18:37
snap-ldon't remember what it's called offhand18:37
snap-lI can see why they're getting away from menu thought18:37
snap-lIt's a catch-all command18:38
brouschwell that's fine. it's just that changing something as basic as the menu button is silly18:38
tjagoda...like replacing menus with a HUD for searching commands? =(18:40
brouschindeed18:40
tjagodaBrousch wants his good ol' gnome18:40
snap-lI don't see the big deal, personally.18:40
tjagodaAll these new-fangled user interfaces18:41
brouschi have it. it's called KDE with two panels18:41
snap-lmenu feels very lazy to me18:41
tjagodaI will have to see how HUD works.18:41
tjagodaI'm very used to reading menus to figure out what I need to do18:41
snap-ltjagoda: ++18:41
tjagodajust trying to formulate my needs into words could become tiresome18:41
snap-lWEll, I'm reserving judgement until I see it18:42
brouschthese are the internets. you are free to judge with no knowledge18:42
snap-lI'm just waiting for the NEXTStep clock as Unity Lens.18:42
The_Machineanyone here happen to hear some jet planes or something flying overhead in the middle of the night?18:47
The_Machinearound 1:30 AM or so18:47
snap-lIt's just the black helicopters doing maneuvers over your house18:48
snap-lpay them no mind18:48
brouschThe_Machine: it was obama arriving18:49
The_Machineoh it was?18:49
brouschi assume18:49
The_Machinescared the shit out of me18:49
snap-land unless they came through the front door, I would not have heard them18:49
The_Machinethey went for 30 mins18:49
The_Machineand were circuling18:49
The_Machinecircling even18:49
* The_Machine doesn't know why he's retarded18:49
brouschusually it's genetic18:49
snap-lThe_Machine: It's likely patrolling airspace18:49
The_Machineyea.  wow.  They were right over our house several times.18:50

rick_hsnap-l: you're my resident gpg expert18:54
rick_hsnap-l: I want to sign a .tar.gz and I want to tell it which key to use?18:55
rick_hI don't see any flag for saying "using this key"18:55
snap-lDo you only have one key in the keyring?18:55
snap-lusually if I have more than one, it'll prompt18:56
rick_hyea, I've got a sub key of my main that's my work email18:56
rick_hI want to sign it iwth my work email18:56
rick_hhmm, actually it's not a sub I don't think18:56
snap-lHuh, that's weird. Just signed a file, and it used the first one.18:57
rick_hbut yea, not giving me the option18:57
rick_hright18:57
snap-lMan page says you can set it using --default-key or --local-user18:58
snap-lbut that'll just tell it which to select as the default18:58
snap-lso it can be changed, but it looks like it's on a per-instance basis18:59
snap-lie: if you have to change repeatedly, it'll be a PITA.18:59
rick_hok, that'll work for now18:59
jrwrenqcow2 is default testdrive disk image.19:07
