[00:16] Boulder County is on fire now. Maybe this is a sign that I shouldn't be in the state. [00:17] The whole county? [00:17] Well not the whole county, but.. Previously there were no fires here. Today two sparked up. [00:20] And it literally lightninged (is that a word?) for like.. maybe twenty minutes. [00:20] then the clouds were gone [00:33] what state...? [00:34] Colorado [00:34] yeesh [00:36] It's crazy here. [00:37] pennsylvania - the promise land === MutantTurkey is now known as MobileTurkey === MobileTurkey_ is now known as MobileTurkey [01:12] jthan is having a "hot time in the old town tonight" [01:41] InHisName: Yeah, something like that. I am just worried about my asthma acting up from all the ash. [01:43] 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. [01:44] Air conditioning.. What a joke! I wish we had AC! [01:44] I'm not worried about the six week mark. I'm worried about tonight! [01:44] You look outside and it's raining ash. [01:45] I suggest that you don't go outside [01:47] I don't plan on it - but regardless all of the building is opened up. [01:47] It's 100 degrees here in the shade and there is no AC [01:47] so the windows just ramain open all the time [01:49] I am debating trying to find a classroom in an air conditioned building to spend the night in or something. [01:49] Even if it's a bad nights sleep, its better than waking up dying :-p [01:50] good point, seek out that building and get there === Joe_CoT is now known as Jolan === Jolan is now known as Joe_CoT [03:25] JonathanD: it's also on sunday [04:24] Joe_CoT: how was venturef0rth, and what day did you go? [04:32] jedijf, ventureforth was good, it was for the global reddit meetup on Saturday [04:32] one of the redditors is friends with a ventureforth guy so we got the space [04:32] Joe_CoT: where did you park? was there any lots open on saturday? [04:33] there was paid parking on the street, we were told we could just park in the reserved spots [04:33] did you notice any lots open? I know the street parking - just gathering info for FOSSCON at venturef0rth [04:49] ah, no idea sorry [04:49] very minimal street parking, and 2 hour limit [04:49] there is decent parking a couple blocks away [09:26] Morning. [09:27] waltman: I have stuff on Sunday too. [09:27] I'm moving an office sunday. [09:35] Morning [11:27] Morning, hmmm, Randy must be enroute to work.. [12:22] Good bacon to all! [12:22] Ex GF needs her spare room wired for FIOS TV/Ethernet :) [12:22] Promised to pay me [12:22] Turned down cash :( [12:23] I not mean :) [12:23] Anyone need servers? [12:24] * JonathanD is getting his new one this week. [12:24] whatcha gettin? [12:25] HP DL360 [12:25] g4p [12:26] nice [12:26] I had a 380 G5 a few months ago [12:53] SamuraiAlba: over on deals woot.com is a shirt --->BACON, the meat candy [12:54] SamuraiAlba: you got more servers to get rid of ? [13:11] I may have more to get rid of [13:20] JonathanD: bummer [13:20] Morning. [13:20] (sleeping in)++ [13:26] void main() { int i=0; while(1) { printf("wake up sleepy head! you are %d minutes late"); sleep(60); i++; } [13:28] I woke up 3 hours later than the last 2 days :) [13:29] waltman: now you're done your PhD and you've spiraled into nothingness [13:29] 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. [13:30] ah [13:30] yeah that stinks [13:30] I was catching the 7:21 train to give myself enough time to hit Starbucks and get through the security line. [13:30] when you get to jury duty all you need to do is not get selected [13:31] "yes i am a catholic nazi skin-head confederate" [13:32] Why does everyone assume that I don't want to get picked for a jury? [13:34] I wouldn't mind being on a Jury. [13:34] Back when I was hourly, etc, I dreaded the idea. [13:34] Jury duty was food off our table. [13:35] 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] They bribed him with food. [13:35] JonathanD: Understandable, but since I'm currently in between jobs, this was food *on* my table! [13:36] Right :p [13:36] $9 a day, right? :p [13:36] how do they even rationalize that? [13:36] might as well not pay [13:36] 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] oh [13:36] well [13:36] thats less horrible [13:36] they should have to pay you equivilent to what your income is [13:36] But shouldn't it at least meet minimum wage? [13:36] or minimum wage [13:37] It goes up to $50/day if it goes more than 10 days. [13:37] still slave labor [13:37] MutantTurkey: at the very least. My logic would be people at minimum wage NEED it. [13:37] you can just call out or skip [13:37] People above it are more likely to be reimbursed. [13:37] they also cover hotels for people who need to travel a long distance. [13:37] and less-harmed by the loss of wage if not. [13:38] I guess maybe low pay encourages juries to come to decisions quickly? [13:38] perhaps. [13:38] which is also bs [13:38] waltman: it also encourages low-income folks to beg off being on Jury. [13:38] At which point, it's no longer a jury of peers, but a jury of peers who can afford to not go to work. [13:39] 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. [13:40] 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] This is good. [13:40] waltman: the $9 a day though, is a complete joke :) [13:40] Anyhow, I figure my being there yesterday helped encourage this Mr. Ali to settle and save the court a lot of time and money. [13:41] 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] waltman: and good on you for being there. I would be there. [13:41] waltman: iirc, when the wages were set they were based on a workers day-wage. [13:42] The timing was perfect this time for me -- no missed work, and a little extra cash. [13:42] they are not revisted frequently. [13:42] So if they're supposed to be a days wage, they should track to that. [13:42] nod [13:43] minimum wage * 8 seems reasonable [13:43] Yeah. [13:43] I think most min-wage workers would welcome the break. [13:43] waltman: apparently the "you can't fire for jury duty" only applies to perm employees. [13:44] 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. [15:10] Nacho nacho enchurrito burrito [19:12] Who here is using an email provider other than gmail that wants to let me send a test email to them? [19:13] you can send to me if you want [19:14] ihn @ sias.us [19:17] sent [19:19] InHisName: did you receive it? [19:21] I went to garbage collection and found it there. I don't have three letter account, its spelled out. [19:22] oh. :-p [19:23] ok. So you received it. I think I know why it never arrived in my work inbox. Thanks for being a guinea pig [19:30] I made a reply from my real addr to your test [19:52] InHisName: That was a customer email. You weren't supposed to reply to it. :-p [20:15] Customer ? I'm receiving customers. If so, maybe I can declare I'm finished job hunting ..... [21:16] It isn't a job. :-p
