snap-lgreg-g: Frankly all of those deal sites are assholes imho00:04
snap-lwas re: livinsocial00:05
greg-gsnap-l: yeah, agreed, just someone else who has control of my credit card account likes them :)00:05
rick_hruh roh00:05
snap-lbrousch: while you were pushing out a turd sandwich, they pushed out an Ice Cream Sandwich? ;)00:06
snap-lOh lovely00:06
_stink_chocolate gelato00:08
rick_hok, the sound quality is C+ at best, and I've not been able to work out with them to see if they stay in my ears, but the functionality of these things rock http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0052YFYFK/ref=oh_o03_s00_i00_details00:09
snap-lTHat's not exactly a resounding review. :)00:12
snap-lAlso looks uncomfortable as hell00:12
rick_hwell, that's the thing I guess. My wired earbuds cost the same roughly, but the ability to do calls, controls for play/volume, etc are awesome.00:13
rick_hand the little magnetic earbug catchers is sweet00:13
rick_hit's not, that's the thing, you forget they're there00:13
rick_hmorning12:37
brouschyes!12:39
rick_hanyone mastered tmux yet? Trying to create a two window session via cmd line12:41
rick_hand not quite getting it right12:41
snap-lrick_h: Haven't used it that way, so I'm not sure12:53
snap-ltmux new-window \; split-window -d ?12:55
rick_hsnap-l: that was it, missing the escaping of the ;13:00
jrwrengmorning13:00
rick_hthanks13:00
jrwrenwhat does the ; literal tell tmux?13:00
rick_hfinished up the tmux book and have some ideas on creating some shortcuts for things13:00
jrwrenwhy did tmux use ; ?  sad them.13:00
jrwreni'm still on screen, cuz i'm nub13:00
rick_htells tmux to run multiple commands on a line13:00
jrwrenoh. so tmux 'new-window;split-window' would work nicely too?13:01
rick_hI can't get into the splits too much because I'm a bad mouse'ing copy/paster13:01
jrwrenme too.13:01
rick_hhttp://paste.mitechie.com/show/570/13:01
rick_hso I'm using that to setup my normal mutt/irc terminal, and I'll create others for things like bookie remote where it'll log into both my www and db server and such13:02
rick_hand for launchpad where I normally open a pair of terms so I can make run and still do filesystem/bzr commands in the other13:02
rick_hso going to try to create basically dev shortcuts that auto setup tmux sessions with all the windows/etc I need ready to go13:02
jrwreni start new screen sessions so rarely that i no longer script the window creation.13:42
jrwreni did at one time, but no more.13:42
snap-lThe only one that I have scripted is for connecting to IRC13:43
snap-lso all I have to type is IRC, and it'll either connect to a current session, or start a new one13:44
rick_hyea, I've always started them up from awesome so I get the mutt/irc ones on the right desktop/workspace13:44
snap-lhttp://paste.mitechie.com/show/571/13:44
rick_hsnap-l: right, I'm using tmux has-session13:45
snap-loh?13:45
rick_hdoing the same thing, but getting two windows, one for mutt and one for irc13:45
rick_hyea, go back to the paste 57013:45
snap-lAh, I'll check that out13:46
rick_hso I can get it to start up in the background now, just have to -t to it now it looks like13:46
rick_hthe attach part isn't working right from within autostart, but oh well, I'll just -t coms once the startup finishes13:46
rick_hbut with bookie dev, I've gotten to where I need one terminal for git/file stuff, one to run the web server from, one I start/watch celery from, etc13:47
rick_hso want to automate that bit13:47
brouschanyone heard of MNX Solutions? http://www.mnxsolutions.com/14:32
brouschthey were apparently at pycon14:32
rick_hbrousch: no, don't recall chatting with them14:33
brouschoffice in monroe14:33
rick_hcool14:34
brouschhm, nixternal follows them on twitter14:38
jrwrenlooks like they do some fun things: http://www.mnxsolutions.com/storage/terabytes-on-a-budget.html14:42
snap-lI think I've seen the logo, but that's about it14:42
rick_hcool, have the tmux scripting bits going I think http://paste.mitechie.com/show/572/14:43
rick_hcan't get it to auto attach a terminal to the session, but oh well14:43
brouschOh, robert Citek works at MNX. He came to one of the Ubuntu Bug Jams14:48
rick_hhmm, that name sounds familiar14:48
brouschwell, you were there too14:49
rick_hheh14:49
brouschhe's also had a few posts to the ubuntu-mi mailing list14:50
snap-lAh, OK14:50
ColonelPanic001I'm too dumb to use google groups.15:14
rick_hColonelPanic001: now now, it's not your fault...well maybe15:22
ColonelPanic001:'(15:23
ColonelPanic001I'm using google apps with a domain of mine - I made a "group", and emailing groupname@mydomain.org does send the email along to all members, looks like15:29
ColonelPanic001but, is there any kind of web interface for this, for "the internets" at large?15:29
ColonelPanic001something I can point to and say "go there and add yourself"?15:29
ColonelPanic001I can manually manage the list fine if needed, not that big of a deal, but just expected there to be some sort of self-service option or something15:30
ColonelPanic001and with that, my lunch group is heading out - back later15:30
ColonelPanic001if anyone knows though, I'd love a PM15:30
ColonelPanic001not critical though15:30
rick_hman I bought too many books last year...15:31
jrwrenpaper?15:33
rick_hno, ebooks mostly15:34
rick_hI think this last year was the great year for ebooks finally15:34
jrwrenfor you.15:35
rick_hyea, for me15:35
snap-lYeah, same here15:58
snap-lI bought more ebooks than paper books, for sure15:58
jrwrenhttps://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive   bookie suggested tags: openmetalcast clubmetal16:09
jrwrenlol16:09
rick_hjrwren: heh, yea, I've got a fix for that in place, but not deployed I don't think16:15
rick_hit's picking up snap-l's last used tags on accident16:15
greg-gall tags shall be snap-l's tags16:16
rick_hheh, well guessing he's got the last bookmark in the system.16:16
rick_hin the api call it checks against your account, but in the online web form it didn't have the user filter16:16
rick_hso the chrome suggested tags would be right which is why I didn't notice them off on the webui16:16
rick_hman, tax time is getting depressing as the years go on16:17
rick_hI remember the good ole days when I could count on a nice refund to help my fresh out of college party budget :)16:17
jrwrenjust claim zero on your i9 and it will be fun again16:20
rick_hheh, I think we both cut down last year and still went over this year16:20
rick_hall those exemptions I used to get don't count any more :(16:21
greg-gyay new kid exemption!16:27
snap-lrick_h: What's fun is one of JODee's schools didn't take out ANY federal tax16:27
snap-lnada16:27
rick_hgreg-g: woot16:27
rick_hsnap-l: ouch16:27
greg-gsnap-l: oh man, yeah, annoying16:27
snap-lYeah, was fun to see the refund slowly whittled away16:27
snap-lStarted with >$1k, and then wound up owing16:27
rick_hI just try to break even these days, but seems every year we adjust and every year we still owe16:28
rick_hgotta stop getting new jobs I guess16:28
snap-lYeah,no kidding16:28
* greg-g hasn't owed once yet16:28
* greg-g knocks on wood16:28
snap-lgreg-g: You have a kid now. :)16:28
snap-lSeriously, filing dependents really starts screwing with your taxes16:28
greg-gyeah, shit will definitely be changing in the future :)16:28
* snap-l needs to tell J to just file no exemptions16:29
rick_hheh, I remember when student load interest things would knock taxes down a ton, now we don't qualify for them to count for us16:29
snap-lbecause I think it's all because she follows the instructions16:29
rick_hyea, that's what we did the last couple of years and we've stopped that16:30
snap-lrick_h: Oh yeah, they love student loans16:30
rick_hnot any more, once you're over a certain income they don't count. I went in with 10 sheets between my wife and I, just shredded them16:30
snap-lrick_h: Ugh16:31
rick_hanyway, getting the last bits together for things so figured I'd whine in irc like a big boy :)16:31
snap-lrick_h: Any chance of working for the railroads and developing a heavy gambling problem while living on a reservation?16:31
rick_hlol, I'll look into it16:32
snap-lSOmething for 201216:32
snap-lI'm sure there's someone out there that qualifies for every exemption out there, and has to be the luckiest person alive.16:33
snap-land by lucky, I mean not terribly16:33
snap-lhttp://www.atlas-games.com/product_tables/AG2705.php16:38
snap-lgreg-g, _stink_, rick_h, please read this to your kids. :)16:38
rick_hlol16:39
jrwrenjus tthought of a cool byobu feature... a kb command to collapse expand the status bars.17:37
jrwrendoes that exist?17:37
jrwrenshow/hide whatever.17:38
jrwrenhrm... just learned about ctrl-a $ in byobu, that is cool.17:39
jrwrenhrm, i'm on ancient byobu apparently. 4.37 while 5.16 is latest. *sigh*17:41
jrwreni'm afraid to move to tmux and relearn all my ancient screen keys17:41
rick_hthe water is warm over here17:41
jrwrenbut I'm ctrl-a all over the place!17:42
rick_hhttp://uploads.mitechie.com/books/tmux_p1_1.pdf17:42
jrwrenI type ctrl-a,a for begin of line... always.17:42
rick_hI use ctrl-a17:42
rick_hyou just change the map17:42
brouschwarm water means someone just peed in it17:42

rick_hjrwren: didn't see it17:43

jrwrenty17:43
greg-gwarning to my G+ followers, I just swore a lot18:39
rick_hlol18:39
brouschhm, i thought it would be related to the threats to your family you mentioned on twitter18:41
greg-gbrousch: oh, yeah, I'm quite pissed off at this "romantic" hotel we were going to stay at in Tahoe. Yelled at Carrie/Rowan and made him cry, then this fucking redneck in a dirty white t-shirt came out of his room and stared me down and yelled at me and postured in a very "I'm going to hurt you if you don't leave" kind of way18:42
brouschgeez18:43
greg-gyeah18:43
brouschsounds like a lovely place18:43
greg-glong story, but, we stayed at Best Western instead, with much bigger rooms for about a third the price (just no gas fireplace, oh well)18:43
jrwrenwow, sounds shitty18:53
jrwrengreg-g: keep yo head up18:53
snap-lgreg-g: Sorry to hear that18:55
snap-lbut remember, thereason to head out was to have a romantic get-away. :)18:56
snap-lso for fuck's sake, be romantic. ;)18:56
greg-ghaha, we were :)18:56
greg-gand, SNOW!18:56

snap-lThis is not the first thing that comes to mind for Tahoe18:57
brouschfirst thing that comes to mind for tahoe: a chevy suv19:06
tjagodaHola19:11
brouschblackberryboy is back!19:11
tjagodaIf I am to have this title, I at least demand a cape.19:12
tjagodaI'm using XFCE19:12
tjagodaLike a boss.19:12
rick_hand I thought I was the guy stuck on the old tech19:12
rick_h:P19:12
tjagodaI was using KDE19:17
tjagodabut I got annoyed with it19:17
tjagodanow I use XFCE because its so similar to Gnome 2.2 =(19:17
brouschxfce would not sleep on my laptop19:20
snap-lxfce ate my baby19:20
BlazeixI set up xfce for my parents. "Use Friendly Names" is the best setting ever.19:23
Blazeixit renames applications in the menus, so like "OpenOffice Calc" -> "Spreadsheet"19:23
snap-lDoes it rename "Gnome Disk Utility" to "Don't even THINK of touching this?"19:24
jrwrentahoe snow!19:43
jrwrenhaha... i forgot how cute babies are all bundled up for snow19:43
greg-gjrwren: :)20:36
