| snap-l | brousch: And Squeezeboxes | 01:35 |
|---|---|---|
| snap-l | jrwren: Shhhhhh... It's a discount. :) | 01:35 |
| snap-l | actually, the Squeezebox Radio is $169 on NewEgg | 01:37 |
| snap-l | and 179 retail on Logitech's site. | 01:37 |
| snap-l | So, by this logic, it appears that Windows 8 will be using the Desktop Cube: http://windowsteamblog.com/windows/b/bloggingwindows/archive/2012/02/17/redesigning-the-windows-logo.aspx | 04:01 |
| rick_h | morning | 14:17 |
| _stink_ | yo | 14:20 |
| rick_h | we having fun yet? | 14:22 |
| brousch | no | 14:22 |
| brousch | toilet ballcock is broken | 14:23 |
| rick_h | ouch | 14:23 |
| rick_h | man, I had plumbers come out, got raked over the coals | 14:23 |
| brousch | i hate fixing those damn things. always leaks | 14:24 |
| brousch | to fix a toilet? | 14:25 |
| rick_h | yea, well 3 actually | 14:26 |
| rick_h | one was leaking and the other two had small issues (handle, etc) | 14:26 |
| rick_h | so figured just have someone out to fix them up, didn't have time to worry about it | 14:26 |
| rick_h | $80 to show up at the door, then $80 per hour + parts | 14:27 |
| brousch | wow. for a $15 part | 14:27 |
| rick_h | basically, total for all three was some $30 in parts | 14:27 |
| brousch | this genuinely surprises me | 14:27 |
| rick_h | 2hr = $270 bill | 14:27 |
| rick_h | I was floored, I've heard of "$80/hr min 1 hour" kind of crap | 14:27 |
| brousch | it took me about 4 hours to get it right last time | 14:28 |
| brousch | most of the problem is getting the bottom seal right so it doesn't leak | 14:28 |
| rick_h | ugh | 14:28 |
| brousch | have to fill it up, let it sit, check for leak. if it leaks, drain it, mess with it, repeat | 14:29 |
| brousch | but it's fun screaming ballcock all day long | 14:31 |
| brousch | and looking at instruction which include "base of ballcock shaft" | 14:31 |
| rick_h | hah, I see a new talk coming out of this | 14:32 |
| brousch | HONEY, GET THE BIG WRENCH. I NEED YOU TO WORK THIS BALLCOCK | 14:34 |
| jrwren | makes me glad I've not had someone come out. | 15:27 |
| jrwren | I've been putting off getting a gas line fixed because I don't want to pay the $$$ | 15:27 |
| jrwren | and there is a valve right there so I can easily shut it off | 15:27 |
| snap-l | jrwren: As opposed to getting blowed up overnight? | 15:55 |
| brousch | i think it's done | 16:08 |
| snap-l | Your ballcock? | 16:08 |
| brousch | yeah, though now they call it "tank filler" | 16:08 |
| brousch | lame | 16:08 |
| snap-l | Probably for the same reason that astronomers call Uranus "Ur-uh-nus' | 16:09 |
| brousch | bought a new connector for the tank to the water supply. that seemed to eliminate a lot of the problems i had last time | 16:11 |
| brousch | to be fair, most of the tank fillers don't have a ball | 16:11 |
| brousch | the new ones | 16:12 |
| snap-l | Well, that's no fun | 16:13 |
| snap-l | floatycock just doesn't have the same ring to it | 16:13 |
| Guest9561 | hey | 21:02 |
| Guest9561 | whats up | 21:02 |
| Blazeix | hey | 21:04 |
| rick_h | this is funny http://www.kryogenix.org/days/2012/02/19/there-is-a-lesson-here | 21:47 |
| _stink_ | haha | 21:50 |
| snap-l | What's the best way to remove a service from running on boot under Ocelot? | 22:01 |
| snap-l | I know I can just remove the link, but I seem to remember a command to do something similar | 22:02 |
| snap-l | and it's one of those commands that I use once a year, if that, so I don't remember what it's called | 22:02 |
| rick_h | update-rc.d ? | 22:05 |
| snap-l | Yeah, that's it. | 22:08 |
| snap-l | http://askubuntu.com/questions/19320/whats-the-recommend-way-to-enable-disable-services | 22:08 |
| snap-l | Got used to chkconfig under Red Hat, and knew it was something different | 22:09 |
