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