| brousch | omgwtfbbq | 12:24 |
| brousch | i am caught up on podcasts | 12:24 |
| snap-l | brousch: I think your podcatcher is broken | 12:24 |
| brousch | i started skipping podcasts with topics i don't care about | 12:25 |
| snap-l | brousch: Ah, there's a plan | 12:25 |
| brousch | and many of them have died. no python or django podcasts any more | 12:25 |
| shakes808 | Morning all | 13:07 |
| rick_h_ | party | 13:07 |
| brousch | on | 13:07 |
| rick_h_ | TGIF | 13:08 |
| shakes808 | It's FRIDAY BITCHES! | 13:10 |
| snap-l | virtual machines are awesome. | 13:16 |
| snap-l | That is all | 13:16 |
| rick_h_ | hah | 13:17 |
| snap-l | http://analogindustries.bandcamp.com/ | 13:21 |
| snap-l | http://www.dicecreator.com/qr-code-dice-cease-desist/ <- Ass clown of the day | 13:33 |
| snap-l | http://codigocube.com/ <- Dumbass game that has the patent-pending QR code cube. | 13:34 |
| brousch | why would you want qrcodes on dice? | 13:40 |
| brousch | the only way you could read them is with a phone | 13:40 |
| snap-l | Yes | 13:40 |
| brousch | this seems annoying and illogical | 13:40 |
| snap-l | And it's so NOVEL of an idea that NOBODY would EVERY think of it | 13:41 |
| snap-l | Difference is dicecreator.com actually made a shipping product | 13:41 |
| brousch | i'm going to put qrcodes around a spinner and make a fortune! | 13:41 |
| snap-l | That patent is stupid | 13:41 |
| shakes808 | interesting video on the bottom of the page | 13:42 |
| shakes808 | lol | 13:42 |
| brousch | snap-l: this is hurting my head | 13:44 |
| snap-l | Even better, it's a pending pattent application | 13:44 |
| snap-l | It's the equivalent of someone asking where their desk is because they filled out an employment application | 13:44 |
| brousch | plays best on iphone but the video's file name is .wmv | 13:45 |
| shakes808 | lol | 13:45 |
| brousch | i assume you all are going to see Wierd Al at the Fox Theater on Saturday | 14:40 |
| brousch | the Michigan Garrison of the 501st Storm Troopers Legion will be there | 14:41 |
| ColonelPanic001 | \o/ | 14:41 |
| snap-l | Live music from the DSO on WRCJ | 14:48 |
| snap-l | brousch: Having to give it a pass unfortunately | 14:49 |
| snap-l | Dad-in-law's b-day on Saturday. | 14:49 |
| snap-l | (btw: that wrcj stuff is going on now) | 14:49 |
| snap-l | http://wrcjfm.org/index.php/listen-live | 14:49 |
| brousch | take him to the concert. everyone loves weird al | 14:53 |
| shakes808 | :( I wsh I could go | 14:58 |
| snap-l | Wow, just got my first #ff on twitter. | 14:58 |
| shakes808 | Tickets are too expensive and already have things going on this weekend :( | 14:59 |
| brousch | lameoid | 14:59 |
| shakes808 | snap-l: ? What is #ff? | 14:59 |
| brousch | ColonelPanic001 is the only non-lameoid | 14:59 |
| snap-l | Follow Friday | 14:59 |
| rick_h_ | snap-l: nice | 15:00 |
| ColonelPanic001 | \o/ | 15:00 |
| snap-l | @msrcast | 15:00 |
| shakes808 | My girl and I might be going to this concert later on this year :D http://www.ticketmaster.com/Rockstar-Energy-Drink-Mayhem-Festival-tickets/artist/1423692 | 15:00 |
| snap-l | shakes808: awesomesauce | 15:01 |
| shakes808 | lol | 15:01 |
| shakes808 | I just hope Slipknot is still AMAZING live | 15:01 |
| shakes808 | I seen them YEARS ago and they were one of the best performances I have seen in a long time | 15:02 |
| snap-l | shakes808: I'm sure they are, even without Paul Gray | 15:02 |
| snap-l | for some reason, I thought Clown passed on, but I"m mistaken | 15:03 |
| krondor | In a 32-bit world, you're a 2-bit user. You've got your own newsgroup alt.total-loser : love me some Weird Al! | 15:03 |
| greg-g | lol at ticketmaster: category = "alternative rock" | 15:03 |
| krondor | though that song is now showing its age | 15:03 |
| snap-l | krondor: I have a feeling it's not hard to update | 15:04 |
| shakes808 | greg-g: lol | 15:04 |
| snap-l | same number of syllables. | 15:04 |
| * greg-g lives in a 128-bit world | 15:05 | |
| * snap-l wishes he had two-bits to rub together. | 15:05 | |
| brousch | krondor: i have a weird al pentiums t-shirt from when i saw him way back in 2000 | 15:05 |
| greg-g | I assume everyone has seen this, right? http://shop.oreilly.com/category/deals/day-against-drm.do | 15:06 |
| greg-g | brousch: nice! | 15:06 |
| brousch | it still loks decent even though i wear it once a month | 15:06 |
| snap-l | greg-g: Seen it, and pillaged it. | 15:06 |
| shakes808 | Do you get the MUG discount on top of that? | 15:07 |
| shakes808 | :D | 15:07 |
| snap-l | shakes808: Pretty sure you only get to use one at a time | 15:08 |
| shakes808 | snap-l: :*( | 15:08 |
| shakes808 | ok | 15:08 |
| shakes808 | lo | 15:08 |
| shakes808 | l | 15:08 |
| snap-l | but if you want to use the mug discount in lieu of the DRMFREE discount, be my guest. | 15:08 |
| greg-g | what is the MUG discount? | 15:09 |
| greg-g | I mean, how much? | 15:09 |
| snap-l | 35% | 15:09 |
| greg-g | cool | 15:09 |
| snap-l | (Actually, it might be more than that, now that I think of it) | 15:09 |
| shakes808 | would like to get the 85% off ;) | 15:10 |
| brousch | snap-l: i think ours is 40% of print books and 50% off ebook. code DSUG | 15:10 |
| snap-l | brousch: Yeah, OK | 15:10 |
| brousch | looks like a generic code | 15:10 |
| snap-l | We got the DSUG2, which is buy-one, get one free | 15:11 |
| snap-l | but DSUG is pretty much a known quantity | 15:11 |
| brousch | you're right, i have both of those | 15:11 |
| brousch | also have 36% off manning if anyone cares | 15:11 |
| shakes808 | Man, the discounts are flying out of control ;) | 15:12 |
| brousch | heh | 15:13 |
| brousch | they give the same discounts to any user group | 15:13 |
| greg-g | ok, I'm sorry, but this is just quirky, The book "The Art of Photography: An Approach to Personal Expression" is available in DAISY format (DAISY is the format for blind readers) | 15:14 |
| brousch | heh | 15:15 |
| greg-g | "With well over 100 beautiful photographic illustrations in both black-and-white and color, as well as numerous charts, graphs, and tables, this book..." | 15:15 |
| greg-g | ... is worthless in the DAISY format | 15:16 |
| snap-l | You never know. :) | 15:16 |
| snap-l | http://blog.blindphotographers.org/ | 15:16 |
| greg-g | I mean, granted, DAISY support sophisticated descriptions of images (think alt-text) | 15:16 |
| greg-g | snap-l: you have silenced me. | 15:17 |
| greg-g | sometimes, rescheduling a task's due date (to tomorrow/next week) feels productive in and of itself | 15:22 |
| snap-l | Not all "blind" folks have lost all of their sight | 15:23 |
| greg-g | snap-l: right, same kind of terminology with deaf (though, they usually say "deaf and hard of hearing") | 15:23 |
| * greg-g dated an ASL interpreter for 4 years | 15:24 | |
| snap-l | Yeah, absolutes aren't the norm. | 15:24 |
| * greg-g nods | 15:25 | |
| brousch | awesome http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2012/05/04/the-heartland-institute-sinks-to-a-new-low/ | 17:23 |
| greg-g | grrr, dislike my phone, always running out of "memory" | 17:34 |
| brousch | storage or ram? | 17:39 |
| greg-g | internal storage | 17:42 |
| greg-g | hence the quotes around "memory" (I hate when systems use words either incorrectly or vaguely, TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG SO I CAN FIX IT! I CLEARED MY MEMORY BUT YOU SAY IT IS STILL FULL!" | 17:43 |
| brousch | i had that on my old droid. can you move apps to SD? | 17:43 |
| greg-g | a combination of small internal storage (2 gig, I believe) and crappy Virgin Mobile apps I can't uninstall/move to SD card | 17:44 |
| greg-g | moved all I can :/ | 17:44 |
| brousch | ouch | 17:44 |
| brousch | switch to the mobile web version to replace some of the apps | 17:44 |
| brousch | like FB | 17:44 |
| greg-g | but, there's also the other apps I've installed that don't allow moving. New rule: apps must allow moving. | 17:44 |
| greg-g | hahhahahahahahahahaa | 17:44 |
| greg-g | you think I have FB installed. | 17:44 |
| brousch | i assumed virgin installed it for you | 17:45 |
| brousch | along with ESPN Preview and Blockbuster | 17:45 |
| greg-g | :) | 17:46 |
| greg-g | also, how can you switch to the mobile web version if you can't uninstall the app? | 17:46 |
| brousch | hm, a good point | 17:48 |
| greg-g | at least with a new Windows computer you can uninstall the stupid adware crap Dell installs. | 17:49 |
| brousch | greg-g: shouldn't you be out marching with the other freetards? http://www.fsf.org/news/coalition-against-digital-restrictions-management-ready-to-go-for-may-4th-day-against-drm | 17:50 |
| greg-g | brousch: I already did my march, I'm on the 7-9am shift | 17:50 |
| brousch | heh | 17:50 |
| brousch | greg-g: are you using the optimus on virgin? i almost went that route | 17:51 |
| greg-g | yeah | 17:51 |
| greg-g | cheap, decent coverage (not in Montana/Wyoming, but oh well), Android. done. | 17:52 |
| brousch | well not quite done if you keep running out of space | 17:55 |
| snap-l | greg-g: Check out ting.com | 17:55 |
| snap-l | I'm still in the honeymoon phase, but liking it so far. | 17:56 |
| greg-g | snap-l: yeah, did the math, I would save like $2-3/mo, not worth the switch yet | 17:56 |
| greg-g | but, totally my next jump | 17:56 |
| greg-g | brousch: good point ;) | 17:57 |
| snap-l | OK, who is the idiot who decided to distribute java code in a .exe file? | 17:58 |
| brousch | i was concerned about coverage (especially around fremont) and the speed of the phone. space never entered my thoughts | 17:58 |
| shakes808 | snap-l: Wednesday at the CHC, I got the enemy sprites to show up and it seems to run a lot better on a Linux distro than it did on the Windows. Here is the link to the source: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13889126/Python/FINAL222.tar.gz | 18:00 |
| shakes808 | rick_h_: *COUGH* spaces ;) | 18:01 |
| snap-l | shakes808: Cool. Will check it out either this weekend, or next | 18:05 |
| shakes808 | sounds good | 18:06 |
| shakes808 | I am going to be going through it at some point and see if I can clean up the code. | 18:06 |
| shakes808 | It will be something some what familiar to me and get me used to working within VI | 18:06 |
| shakes808 | going to go through the videos that rick_h_ put together and seee what I can do :D | 18:11 |
| brousch | ah crap crap crap. tedxgrandrapids in on thursday and i haven't made any business cards for my groups | 18:20 |
| snap-l | Ugh, Beastie Boy rapper MCA passed away. | 18:21 |
| brousch | a day of mourning | 18:22 |
| shakes808 | :'( | 18:23 |
| rick_h_ | not to be a bad guy...but man that's one band I can do without ever hearing again | 18:26 |
| snap-l | understandable | 18:26 |
| snap-l | We've already established that you hate music. ;) | 18:27 |
| * snap-l starts making rick_h_ a mixtape | 18:27 | |
| * widox cranks up some Beasie Boys | 18:31 | |
| brousch | beastie boys rock | 18:40 |
| shakes808 | older BB were good. The new stuff was just mediocre | 18:42 |
| shakes808 | Back with Paul Revere and Brass Monkey and Boomin' Granny and Girls | 18:44 |
| shakes808 | lol | 18:44 |
| shakes808 | Pretty much the whole License to Ill album | 18:45 |
| brousch | I'LL STIR FRY YOU IN MY WOK | 18:50 |
| shakes808 | Like a pinch on the neck of Mr. SPOCK | 18:52 |
| snap-l | I like Paul's boutique and Check Your Head | 19:05 |
| snap-l | haven't listened to anything since, though | 19:05 |
| snap-l | save for Intergalactic Planetary | 19:05 |
| shakes808 | in luei of MCA's death, Beastie Boys Pandora radio station is created..... Insane in the membrain. INSANE IN THE BRAIN | 19:06 |
| shakes808 | lol | 19:06 |
| snap-l | shakes808: Please turn in your internet connection. You're no longer welcome. ;) | 19:07 |
| shakes808 | lol | 19:07 |
| shakes808 | I don't have the music box do hickey | 19:08 |
| shakes808 | ;D | 19:08 |
| greg-g | man I hate having to rewrite documents | 20:08 |
| greg-g | especially when the first one had all the necessary politicing/schmoozing language that is so hard to write | 20:08 |
| greg-g | (as in, I think it didn't save to U1 from work, so I don't have it here) | 20:08 |
| snap-l | Oh, that sucks | 20:12 |
| snap-l | no remote access to the machine that might have it? | 20:12 |
| greg-g | nope, I even shut it down (I bring home the power cord for ease of coffee shop goings and I took the battery home to see if it would work on my x200s, it did not) | 20:13 |
| brousch | dropbox ftw | 20:16 |
| greg-g | yeah, I saved it in U1, like all work docs | 20:17 |
| greg-g | or so I thought | 20:17 |
| greg-g | that's the weird part | 20:17 |
| greg-g | checked the web interface, not there | 20:18 |
| snap-l | greg-g: U1 can be a PITA if it doesn't actually sync | 20:36 |
| snap-l | have had several instances where it got into a syncing loop | 20:37 |
| nullspace | yawn | 20:50 |
| brousch | anyone read these? http://pragprog.com/titles | 20:58 |
| snap-l | brousch: They're a good publisher for more tutorial-based books | 20:59 |
| rick_h_ | brousch: which ones? | 20:59 |
| rick_h_ | I've read several of them | 20:59 |
| shakes808 | have a good weekend all | 21:07 |
