[11:14] <rick_h_> 258157
[11:15] <rick_h_> bah, morning
[11:20] <snap-l> rick_h_: Episode edits winging their way to you.
[11:27] <rick_h_> snap-l: woot! thanks
[11:38] <rick_h_> phew, 50% off oreilly books for anti drm day and I'm out of things to buy yay!

[12:24] <brousch> omgwtfbbq
[12:24] <brousch> i am caught up on podcasts
[12:24] <snap-l> brousch: I think your podcatcher is broken
[12:25] <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
[13:07] <shakes808> Morning all
[13:07] <rick_h_> party
[13:07] <brousch> on
[13:08] <rick_h_> TGIF
[13:10] <shakes808> It's FRIDAY BITCHES!
[13:16] <snap-l> virtual machines are awesome.
[13:16] <snap-l> That is all
[13:17] <rick_h_> hah
[13:21] <snap-l> http://analogindustries.bandcamp.com/
[13:33] <snap-l> http://www.dicecreator.com/qr-code-dice-cease-desist/ <- Ass clown of the day
[13:34] <snap-l> http://codigocube.com/ <- Dumbass game that has the patent-pending QR code cube.
[13:40] <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
[13:41] <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
[13:42] <shakes808> interesting video on the bottom of the page
[13:42] <shakes808> lol
[13:44] <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
[13:45] <brousch> plays best on iphone but the video's file name is .wmv
[13:45] <shakes808> lol
[14:40] <brousch> i assume you all are going to see Wierd Al at the Fox Theater on Saturday
[14:41] <brousch> the Michigan Garrison of the 501st Storm Troopers Legion will be there
[14:41] <ColonelPanic001> \o/
[14:48] <snap-l> Live music from the DSO on WRCJ
[14:49] <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
[14:53] <brousch> take him to the concert. everyone loves weird al
[14:58] <shakes808> :( I wsh I could go
[14:58] <snap-l> Wow, just got my first #ff on twitter.
[14:59] <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
[15:00] <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
[15:01] <snap-l> shakes808: awesomesauce
[15:01] <shakes808> lol
[15:01] <shakes808> I just hope Slipknot is still AMAZING live
[15:02] <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
[15:03] <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
[15:04] <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.
[15:05]  * 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
[15:06] <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.
[15:07] <shakes808> Do you get the MUG discount on top of that?
[15:07] <shakes808> :D
[15:08] <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.
[15:09] <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)
[15:10] <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
[15:11] <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
[15:12] <shakes808> Man, the discounts are flying out of control ;)
[15:13] <brousch> heh
[15:13] <brousch> they give the same discounts to any user group
[15:14] <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)
[15:15] <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..."
[15:16] <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)
[15:17] <greg-g> snap-l: you have silenced me.
[15:22] <greg-g> sometimes, rescheduling a task's due date (to tomorrow/next week) feels productive in and of itself
[15:23] <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")
[15:24]  * greg-g dated an ASL interpreter for 4 years
[15:24] <snap-l> Yeah, absolutes aren't the norm.
[15:25]  * greg-g nods
[17:23] <brousch> awesome http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2012/05/04/the-heartland-institute-sinks-to-a-new-low/
[17:34] <greg-g> grrr, dislike my phone, always running out of "memory"
[17:39] <brousch> storage or ram?
[17:42] <greg-g> internal storage
[17:43] <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?
[17:44] <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.
[17:45] <brousch> i assumed virgin installed it for you
[17:45] <brousch> along with ESPN Preview and Blockbuster
[17:46] <greg-g> :)
[17:46] <greg-g> also, how can you switch to the mobile web version if you can't uninstall the app?
[17:48] <brousch> hm, a good point
[17:49] <greg-g> at least with a new Windows computer you can uninstall the stupid adware crap Dell installs.
[17:50] <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
[17:51] <brousch> greg-g: are you using the optimus on virgin? i almost went that route
[17:51] <greg-g> yeah
[17:52] <greg-g> cheap, decent coverage (not in Montana/Wyoming, but oh well), Android. done.
[17:55] <brousch> well not quite done if you keep running out of space
[17:55] <snap-l> greg-g: Check out ting.com
[17:56] <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
[17:57] <greg-g> brousch: good point ;)
[17:58] <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
[18:00] <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
[18:01] <shakes808> rick_h_: *COUGH* spaces ;)
[18:05] <snap-l> shakes808: Cool. Will check it out either this weekend, or next
[18:06] <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
[18:11] <shakes808> going to go through the videos that rick_h_ put together and seee what I can do :D
[18:20] <brousch> ah crap crap crap. tedxgrandrapids in on thursday and i haven't made any business cards for my groups
[18:21] <snap-l> Ugh, Beastie Boy rapper MCA passed away.
[18:22] <brousch> a day of mourning
[18:23] <shakes808> :'(
[18:26] <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
[18:27] <snap-l> 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] <brousch> beastie boys rock
[18:42] <shakes808> older BB were good. The new stuff was just mediocre
[18:44] <shakes808> Back with Paul Revere and Brass Monkey and Boomin' Granny and Girls
[18:44] <shakes808> lol
[18:45] <shakes808> Pretty much the whole License to Ill album
[18:50] <brousch> I'LL STIR FRY YOU IN MY WOK
[18:52] <shakes808> Like a pinch on the neck of Mr. SPOCK
[19:05] <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
[19:06] <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
[19:07] <snap-l> shakes808: Please turn in your internet connection. You're no longer welcome. ;)
[19:07] <shakes808> lol
[19:08] <shakes808> I don't have the music box do hickey
[19:08] <shakes808> ;D
[20:08] <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)
[20:12] <snap-l> Oh, that sucks
[20:12] <snap-l> no remote access to the machine that might have it?
[20:13] <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)
[20:16] <brousch> dropbox ftw
[20:17] <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
[20:18] <greg-g> checked the web interface, not there
[20:36] <snap-l> greg-g: U1 can be a PITA if it doesn't actually sync
[20:37] <snap-l> have had several instances where it got into a syncing loop
[20:50] <nullspace> yawn
[20:58] <brousch> anyone read these? http://pragprog.com/titles
[20:59] <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
[21:07] <shakes808> have a good weekend all
