| jthan | Boulder County is on fire now. Maybe this is a sign that I shouldn't be in the state. | 00:16 |
|---|---|---|
| JonathanD | The whole county? | 00:17 |
| jthan | Well not the whole county, but.. Previously there were no fires here. Today two sparked up. | 00:17 |
| jthan | And it literally lightninged (is that a word?) for like.. maybe twenty minutes. | 00:20 |
| jthan | then the clouds were gone | 00:20 |
| MutantTurkey | what state...? | 00:33 |
| jthan | Colorado | 00:34 |
| MutantTurkey | yeesh | 00:34 |
| jthan | It's crazy here. | 00:36 |
| MutantTurkey | pennsylvania - the promise land | 00:37 |

| InHisName | jthan is having a "hot time in the old town tonight" | 01:12 |
| jthan | InHisName: Yeah, something like that. I am just worried about my asthma acting up from all the ash. | 01:41 |
| InHisName | Hmmm, yea, that's a real concern. Even hiding indoors in Air conditioned building may not be good enough. I hope you can finish the 6 weeks though if possible. | 01:43 |
| jthan | Air conditioning.. What a joke! I wish we had AC! | 01:44 |
| jthan | I'm not worried about the six week mark. I'm worried about tonight! | 01:44 |
| jthan | You look outside and it's raining ash. | 01:44 |
| InHisName | I suggest that you don't go outside | 01:45 |
| jthan | I don't plan on it - but regardless all of the building is opened up. | 01:47 |
| jthan | It's 100 degrees here in the shade and there is no AC | 01:47 |
| jthan | so the windows just ramain open all the time | 01:47 |
| jthan | I am debating trying to find a classroom in an air conditioned building to spend the night in or something. | 01:49 |
| jthan | Even if it's a bad nights sleep, its better than waking up dying :-p | 01:49 |
| InHisName | good point, seek out that building and get there | 01:50 |

| jedijf | Joe_CoT: how was venturef0rth, and what day did you go? | 04:24 |
| Joe_CoT | jedijf, ventureforth was good, it was for the global reddit meetup on Saturday | 04:32 |
| Joe_CoT | one of the redditors is friends with a ventureforth guy so we got the space | 04:32 |
| jedijf | Joe_CoT: where did you park? was there any lots open on saturday? | 04:32 |
| Joe_CoT | there was paid parking on the street, we were told we could just park in the reserved spots | 04:33 |
| jedijf | did you notice any lots open? I know the street parking - just gathering info for FOSSCON at venturef0rth | 04:33 |
| Joe_CoT | ah, no idea sorry | 04:49 |
| Joe_CoT | very minimal street parking, and 2 hour limit | 04:49 |
| Joe_CoT | there is decent parking a couple blocks away | 04:49 |
| JonathanD | Morning. | 09:26 |

| SamuraiAlba | Good bacon to all! | 12:22 |

| SamuraiAlba | Promised to pay me | 12:22 |
| SamuraiAlba | Turned down cash :( | 12:22 |
| SamuraiAlba | I not mean :) | 12:23 |
| SamuraiAlba | Anyone need servers? | 12:23 |
| * JonathanD is getting his new one this week. | 12:24 | |
| SamuraiAlba | whatcha gettin? | 12:24 |
| JonathanD | HP DL360 | 12:25 |
| JonathanD | g4p | 12:25 |
| SamuraiAlba | nice | 12:26 |
| SamuraiAlba | I had a 380 G5 a few months ago | 12:26 |
| InHisName | SamuraiAlba: over on deals woot.com is a shirt --->BACON, the meat candy | 12:53 |
| InHisName | SamuraiAlba: you got more servers to get rid of ? | 12:54 |
| SamuraiAlba | I may have more to get rid of | 13:11 |
| waltman | JonathanD: bummer | 13:20 |
| waltman | Morning. | 13:20 |
| waltman | (sleeping in)++ | 13:20 |
| MutantTurkey | void main() { int i=0; while(1) { printf("wake up sleepy head! you are %d minutes late"); sleep(60); i++; } | 13:26 |
| waltman | I woke up 3 hours later than the last 2 days :) | 13:28 |
| MutantTurkey | waltman: now you're done your PhD and you've spiraled into nothingness | 13:29 |
| waltman | True, but this is mostly because I had jury duty Monday and Tuesday and had to be in the federal court house at 6th and Market by 8:30 am. | 13:29 |
| MutantTurkey | ah | 13:30 |
| MutantTurkey | yeah that stinks | 13:30 |
| waltman | I was catching the 7:21 train to give myself enough time to hit Starbucks and get through the security line. | 13:30 |
| MutantTurkey | when you get to jury duty all you need to do is not get selected | 13:30 |
| MutantTurkey | "yes i am a catholic nazi skin-head confederate" | 13:31 |
| waltman | Why does everyone assume that I don't want to get picked for a jury? | 13:32 |
| JonathanD | I wouldn't mind being on a Jury. | 13:34 |
| JonathanD | Back when I was hourly, etc, I dreaded the idea. | 13:34 |
| JonathanD | Jury duty was food off our table. | 13:34 |
| waltman | http://articles.philly.com/2012-06-26/business/32425564_1_philadelphia-man-health-care-fraud-medical-provider-number # This is the case I almost ended up on yesterday. He decided to plead guilty during an extended lunch break. | 13:35 |
| JonathanD | They bribed him with food. | 13:35 |
| waltman | JonathanD: Understandable, but since I'm currently in between jobs, this was food *on* my table! | 13:35 |
| JonathanD | Right :p | 13:36 |
| JonathanD | $9 a day, right? :p | 13:36 |
| MutantTurkey | how do they even rationalize that? | 13:36 |
| MutantTurkey | might as well not pay | 13:36 |
| waltman | And the federal courts pay a lot better than the state courts. It's $40/day + 55.5 cents/mile in transportation costs. | 13:36 |
| JonathanD | oh | 13:36 |
| JonathanD | well | 13:36 |
| JonathanD | thats less horrible | 13:36 |
| MutantTurkey | they should have to pay you equivilent to what your income is | 13:36 |
| JonathanD | But shouldn't it at least meet minimum wage? | 13:36 |
| MutantTurkey | or minimum wage | 13:36 |
| waltman | It goes up to $50/day if it goes more than 10 days. | 13:37 |
| MutantTurkey | still slave labor | 13:37 |
| JonathanD | MutantTurkey: at the very least. My logic would be people at minimum wage NEED it. | 13:37 |
| MutantTurkey | you can just call out or skip | 13:37 |
| JonathanD | People above it are more likely to be reimbursed. | 13:37 |
| waltman | they also cover hotels for people who need to travel a long distance. | 13:37 |
| JonathanD | and less-harmed by the loss of wage if not. | 13:37 |
| waltman | I guess maybe low pay encourages juries to come to decisions quickly? | 13:38 |
| JonathanD | perhaps. | 13:38 |
| MutantTurkey | which is also bs | 13:38 |
| JonathanD | waltman: it also encourages low-income folks to beg off being on Jury. | 13:38 |
| JonathanD | At which point, it's no longer a jury of peers, but a jury of peers who can afford to not go to work. | 13:38 |
| waltman | I've always had jobs where I was reimbursed, and I've always found jury duty to be a welcome break from the work routine. | 13:39 |
| waltman | my judge yesterday offered to personally call up any boss who was giving one of his jurors a hard time about missing work. | 13:40 |
| JonathanD | This is good. | 13:40 |
| JonathanD | waltman: the $9 a day though, is a complete joke :) | 13:40 |
| waltman | Anyhow, I figure my being there yesterday helped encourage this Mr. Ali to settle and save the court a lot of time and money. | 13:40 |
| waltman | JonathanD: Indeed. It barely covers lunch in Media, let alone a post-trial beer at the Iron Hill down the street from the courthouse. | 13:41 |
| JonathanD | waltman: and good on you for being there. I would be there. | 13:41 |
| JonathanD | waltman: iirc, when the wages were set they were based on a workers day-wage. | 13:41 |
| waltman | The timing was perfect this time for me -- no missed work, and a little extra cash. | 13:42 |
| JonathanD | they are not revisted frequently. | 13:42 |
| JonathanD | So if they're supposed to be a days wage, they should track to that. | 13:42 |
| waltman | nod | 13:42 |
| waltman | minimum wage * 8 seems reasonable | 13:43 |
| JonathanD | Yeah. | 13:43 |
| JonathanD | I think most min-wage workers would welcome the break. | 13:43 |
| JonathanD | waltman: apparently the "you can't fire for jury duty" only applies to perm employees. | 13:43 |
| waltman | If you don't end up on a jury, it's a really easy day. You spend most of it reading, and court officials tell you everything you need to do. | 13:44 |
