| waltman | So not only am I out $849, but I'm also missing the bucket I had in my bathroom. | 01:41 |
|---|---|---|
| MutantTurkey | sometimes I like to work at night | 01:50 |
| waltman | and other times? | 01:52 |
| ChinnoDog | What is the easiest to use free Windows based IRC client now | 01:54 |
| pleia2 | xchat? | 01:54 |
| ChinnoDog | It isn't free | 01:54 |
| pleia2 | sure it is | 01:54 |
| ChinnoDog | not the one at xchat.org | 01:54 |
| pleia2 | http://www.silverex.org/download/ | 01:54 |
| pleia2 | yeah, don't use the one at xchat.org | 01:54 |
| pleia2 | use the free build | 01:54 |
| ChinnoDog | ok, I'm pushing the free one now. hehe | 01:55 |
| ChinnoDog | thanks pleia2 | 01:55 |
| MutantTurkey | Pidgin? | 01:57 |
| waltman | So tonight I tried on the new shirt I bought to go with my new suit. It fits fine around the neck, but the arms are too long and around the waist it could accomodate someone who weights 200 lbs more than me. | 02:09 |
| MutantTurkey | waltman: time to hit the taylor | 02:10 |
| MutantTurkey | tailor' | 02:10 |
| MutantTurkey | please do not hit any 'taylors' | 02:10 |
| waltman | I hope I can return it. | 02:12 |
| waltman | do tailors alter shirts? | 02:12 |
| waltman | I paid $55 for this dress shirt. For that price it should fit! | 02:13 |
| MutantTurkey | Gary Johnson just got matching funds from the FEC! :-) | 02:20 |
| MutantTurkey | waltman: i believe so | 02:20 |
| waltman | The sales woman who helped me pick it out had measuring tape, for crissakes. | 02:22 |
| MutantTurkey | weird | 02:24 |
| waltman | Oh well. At least I know what my crazy neck size is now. Guess I'll hit the outlets over the weekend. | 02:25 |
| MutantTurkey | http://lsbr.niams.nih.gov/bsoft/bsoft_distproc.html | 02:26 |
| MutantTurkey | ever see that? | 02:26 |
| waltman | What's bsoft? | 02:27 |
| MutantTurkey | no idea | 02:27 |
| MutantTurkey | apparently it allows me to harness processing power across many computers | 02:28 |
| MutantTurkey | like distcc for generic computers | 02:28 |
| MutantTurkey | generic programs' | 02:28 |
| MutantTurkey | lord of dork | 02:35 |
| LordOfTime | silence, you | 02:35 |
| LordOfTime | or i'll turn you into mutantturkeybacon | 02:35 |
| LordOfTime | *yawn* | 02:36 |
| MutantTurkey | never had the turk bacon | 02:36 |
| * InHisName yawns | 02:46 | |
| MutantTurkey | yawns is right | 02:47 |
| MutantTurkey | single threaded application != good | 03:21 |
| MutantTurkey | === bad | 03:21 |
| toggles | are you sure? | 03:26 |
| MutantTurkey | not in many cases | 03:37 |
| MutantTurkey | threads could be applied to many cases | 03:37 |
| MutantTurkey | i need a one line command to tell me when my load average is under .75 so i know my process is done and then make it wake me up by playing a song. | 03:37 |
| MutantTurkey | unix foo here we go | 03:37 |
| toggles | i want a multi threaded cat | 03:47 |
| MutantTurkey | yes that too | 03:54 |
| * InHisName wakes up and yawns some more | 04:29 | |
| JonathanD | Morning. | 09:34 |
| rmg51 | Morning | 09:40 |
| JonathanD | hey rmg51 | 09:44 |
| rmg51 | Yo | 09:44 |
| JonathanD | Whats up? | 09:49 |
| rmg51 | nothing yet | 09:57 |
| waltman | Morning. | 10:58 |
| JonathanD | hey waltman | 10:58 |
| waltman | hey | 10:59 |
| JonathanD | how goes? | 10:59 |
| waltman | Slept better last night :) | 11:00 |
| waltman | I've still got to clean my tub before I can take a shower. | 11:01 |
| JonathanD | yay | 11:01 |
| JonathanD | hows your work coming? | 11:02 |
| waltman | I've got a ton of tweaks I need to make to my slides. | 11:02 |
| waltman | got lots of good advice from @advisors yesterday | 11:02 |
| waltman | I might do another practice talk for my lab today. | 11:03 |
| JonathanD | awesome | 11:04 |
| * InHisName is done sleeping | 12:13 | |
| waltman | Was I wrong to call the plumber this morning to ask him to return the bucket that disappeared from my bathroom yesterday? | 14:11 |
| JonathanD | he stole your bucket... | 14:12 |
| JonathanD | no, you were not wrong :/ | 14:12 |
| JonathanD | what the heck? | 14:12 |
| JonathanD | waltman: are you sure he didn't wash it down the drain wit hteh rest of the wall? | 14:12 |
| waltman | He told me "We've got 5 or 6 buckets we use..." Now I see where they get them all! | 14:14 |
| waltman | Also there was a roll of paper towels on my kitchen counter that wasn't there before. | 14:15 |
| JonathanD | waltman: one time when I had a heater guy at my place, I came home to a half lb of turkey in my fridge that wasn't there before. | 14:15 |
| waltman | hah | 14:15 |
| JonathanD | called him, he said "Oh, I wondered where that went. You can have it." | 14:16 |
| waltman | This is why I like to be home when work's being down. But it was impossible yesterday. | 14:16 |
| JonathanD | Guy must eat a lot... | 14:16 |
| ChinnoDog | lol JonathanD | 14:48 |
| ChinnoDog | half lb of turkey just appears.. | 14:49 |
| JonathanD | I'm going to be the turkey-notrobber | 14:51 |
| JonathanD | I'm going to break into peoples houses, and leave behind turkey. | 14:51 |
| ChinnoDog | It would be more fun if you stole other lunch meats and replaced it with turkey | 14:53 |
| JonathanD | ChinnoDog: MutantTurkey? | 15:52 |
| MutantTurkey | you called sir? | 15:52 |
| JonathanD | MutantTurkey: not really :) | 15:53 |
| JonathanD | 14:51:10 < JonathanD> I'm going to be the turkey-notrobber | 15:53 |
| JonathanD | 14:51:18 < JonathanD> I'm going to break into peoples houses, and leave behind turkey. | 15:53 |
| JonathanD | 14:53:32 < ChinnoDog> It would be more fun if you stole other lunch meats and replaced it with turkey | 15:53 |
| rmg51 | JonathanD: feel free to leave a little MutantTurkey ;-) | 15:59 |
| MutantTurkey | ah | 15:59 |
| InHisName | Maybe you can take a bucket with you while you're at it, too. | 16:31 |
| JonathanD | waltman: whats that thing you use/we talked about for finances on linux? | 16:51 |
| passstab | is it gnucash? | 16:52 |
| JonathanD | Maybe. I don't recall. | 16:52 |
| passstab | and how do we make that transition smooth? | 16:53 |
| passstab | nvm | 16:54 |
| passstab | http://www.gnucash.org/features.phtml#data-feat | 16:54 |
| * passstab pokes waltman | 17:33 | |
| jedijf | passstab: wait until later or i will memo you waltman is in /stress/ zone with phd thingy | 18:03 |
| waltman | yes, it's gnucash | 18:03 |
| waltman | I was OK with JUST the phd stress. It was the addition of plumbing stress that had me a wee bit postal yesterday. | 18:04 |
| JonathanD | waltman needs an irecream. | 18:05 |
| * jedijf didn't want to list all the stressers | 18:05 | |
| JonathanD | erm | 18:05 |
| JonathanD | icecream. | 18:05 |
| jedijf | don't forget missin bucket | 18:05 |
| JonathanD | he can have a bucket of ice cream. | 18:06 |
| passstab | ah i'm sorry | 18:07 |
| passstab | thanks | 18:08 |
| passstab | i added a bit more to it http://piratepad.net/H3HLLjEwPB | 18:09 |
| InHisName | passstab: just what is it you are scheming ? Converting (your) local library to linux or the whole counties libraries to linux or ???? | 18:38 |
| passstab | starting local then seeing where it goes | 18:39 |
| passstab | hopefully turning it into a profession | 18:40 |
| InHisName | Probably have fierce competition. I have been to several libraries in area and all have same computers with same software loaded in same way. Most noticeable on the small kids computers. Its loaded with lots of educational games and I noticed each lib had same exact set up games similar looking hardware too... | 18:44 |
| JonathanD | The world! | 18:45 |
| passstab | all the ones near me that i've been to are part of delco | 18:46 |
| passstab | so i don't think i can touch them | 18:46 |
| InHisName | May be marketed like TVs were to motel owners. The factories sold TVs maybe even at a loss to get their brand into more motel rooms across the country. Best 19" price 1971 $349 up $599 list. We got charged $219. | 18:47 |
| InHisName | I've been to Warminster(bucks co.) Abington (MontCo) and Logan(Philly). | 18:48 |
| passstab | yea i plan to get credibility then charge | 18:48 |
| InHisName | I suspect there is a group pooling all the 'loss' of educational and other softwares into one package and offering to libraries at sensational pricing. Warminster has 2 toddler/kids computers with plaque -> donated by Mr & Mrs xyz. I suspect the total was only a few hundred at most. Oh yes, the monitors are flat screens. | 18:51 |
| passstab | i suspect that if the rest is good the foss kids stuff will be sufficient | 18:53 |
| passstab | http://gcompris.net/-About-GCompris- | 18:55 |
| passstab | that proabaly is good enough | 18:55 |
| InHisName | SirsiDynix e-Library (TM) is used by Warminster/Bucks county. I hardly see the OS in the library and I can do the same from home via the web. If the apps are all web based then any os with a good browser can work fine. | 18:55 |
| InHisName | I see gcompris notes. You might want to check out that kids thing. I suspect 40-80 games/apps installed and working. At $50 each retail, that's a lot of value in one machine. | 19:00 |
| passstab | which kids thing? | 19:01 |
| InHisName | Games feature Sponge Bob, Dora, and many other kids popular chars. All with educational bent in game play. Some even work for 2 & 3 year olds. By 7-8 the kids are maturing past most of the games. | 19:01 |
| passstab | ah link? | 19:02 |
| InHisName | passstab: which kids thing? The free machines in the Juvenile section. Usually 1-4 machines. | 19:02 |
| InHisName | I'll see if I can find a link | 19:03 |
| passstab | oh i though you where talking about GC | 19:03 |
| passstab | http://gcompris.net/Other-project-of-interest | 19:04 |
| passstab | everything there would be perfect | 19:05 |
| passstab | except KDE | 19:05 |
| passstab | as i want this to stay light | 19:05 |
| passstab | there could also be educational software for teens/adults | 19:07 |
| InHisName | passstab: try this: www.awelearning.com/ | 19:28 |
| jedijf | passstab: thre's a kid based distro - can't remember much besides an eskimo i think - ping pleia2 - florida couple | 19:28 |
| jedijf | made it, not light but specific | 19:29 |
| InHisName | Go to library for what my lib has | 19:29 |
| passstab | jedijf, qeimo | 19:29 |
| jedijf | passstab: YES | 19:29 |
| jedijf | qumop | 19:29 |
| passstab | :D | 19:29 |
| jedijf | there's an eskimo right? | 19:29 |
| pleia2 | qimo | 19:30 |
| InHisName | Locations 3,339 . . . . . . Digital Learning Solutions 11,918 .. . . . . . . . . . . Learning Hours 79,650,050 | 19:30 |
| InHisName | apparently they get feedback from all the installations usages. | 19:31 |
| jedijf | passstab: did you look at/into edubuntu yet? | 19:32 |
| passstab | yea | 19:32 |
| jedijf | gcompris was tooooo french for my tastes - my wife used it for an early childhood dev project | 19:32 |
| passstab | oh is it? | 19:36 |
| passstab | that sux :( | 19:36 |
| passstab | is it so bad that it won't work for libraries? | 19:38 |
| passstab | oh no i haven't booted edubuntu yet | 19:41 |
| passstab | how do i make it do the ltsp thing? | 19:41 |
| jedijf | boot it and the answer will be revealed | 19:41 |
| passstab | ok | 19:42 |
| jedijf | re:gcompris - not unusable, just noticeably not native English | 19:43 |
| jedijf | imo | 19:43 |
| passstab | ah crap | 19:43 |
| passstab | maybe the kde ones then? | 19:43 |
| jedijf | passstab: actually iirc she used the win version LOL | 19:49 |

| sadin | hows this design look so far? http://taskr.sadin.c9.io/ | 21:20 |
| JonathanD | Canoe geeknic. | 21:24 |
| JonathanD | any takers? | 21:24 |
| InHisName | Tomorrow ? | 22:01 |
| InHisName | sadin: I tried but only got this: "Could not proxy request taskr.sadin.c9.io/ -> 192.168.110.53:48330" Click here to try again, or go back to dashboard. If that doesn't work please issue a bug report here | 22:04 |
| sadin | InHisName ah yeah i just move to my own cloud server sorry sec | 22:04 |
| sadin | http://taskr.cloudfoundry.com/ InHisName | 22:04 |
| InHisName | Taskr social task mgt with login | 22:05 |
| InHisName | Mostly blank other wise | 22:06 |
| sadin | InHisName yes just started pretty much hows the header look so far | 22:06 |
| sadin | ive put hours into just the header footer and login box. | 22:06 |
| InHisName | Looks like a header, sadin | 22:06 |
| * sadin forgets you guys arent designers lol | 22:07 | |
| * sadin wants critique lol | 22:08 | |
| InHisName | I'd only put in 1/4 hour not hours and hours, nothing to critique. Design is simple and not complex, its good. | 22:12 |
| sadin | InHisName okay well thank you for looking it means alot you took the time :D | 22:15 |
| waltman | unsurprisingly, the plumber did not return my bucket today | 22:20 |
| waltman | I see now why he demands payment up front -- to not give his customers time to see what they took and deduct the cost from his bill. | 22:21 |
| InHisName | maybe he only works the hours banker used to in the '60s. M-F 9-3 | 22:21 |
| * waltman looks at the weather map and thinks maybe it's a good evening to stay in. | 22:24 | |
| waltman | I should probably do laundry | 22:24 |
| sadin | This is one great service http://cloudfoundry.com/ | 22:25 |
| waltman | Do I really want to drive down to Dulles and pick up a stranded friend? | 22:32 |
| waltman | Fortunately she seems to have become unstranded, so no road trip. | 22:41 |
