rick_h_ | yummm, apis http://developer.ubuntu.com/api/ubuntu-12.04/javascript/index.html | 00:04 |
---|---|---|
rick_h_ | almost makes me want to run unity for a day and see what I can integrate with it | 00:04 |
llua | that sounds like activex | 00:10 |
llua | skimming over it... | 00:10 |
rick_h_ | basically firefox/chrome extensions add some JS apis to your page you can use | 00:11 |
rick_h_ | that allow you an API to interact with the unity indicators, HUD, etc | 00:12 |
snap-l | Morning | 11:48 |
snap-l | Ugh, I'm tired. Had a sinus headache that would not go away for anything | 11:48 |
rick_h_droid | morning tgif folks | 11:53 |
brousch | Next F we'll be in Columbus | 12:00 |
rick_h_ | yep, finally got some work on my talk this week | 12:06 |
snap-l | I worked on a ride. :) | 12:07 |
snap-l | Man, I don't feel like last night happened. :) | 12:07 |
rick_h_ | good stuff, she all nice and quiet ride? | 12:07 |
snap-l | Yeah, nice and smooth | 12:07 |
rick_h_ | always love riding in a new car when you don't realize how slowly over time your older vehicle is louder/rougher than you thought | 12:08 |
brousch | A new car? | 12:10 |
brousch | VW Beetle? | 12:10 |
snap-l | Jetta | 12:11 |
snap-l | Black exterior, black interior | 12:11 |
brousch | Hawt | 12:12 |
rick_h_ | man, you've got balls to buy an all black vehicle while we're hitting 90s+ days | 12:14 |
snap-l | rick_h_: And no sunroof. :) | 12:15 |
rick_h_ | yep, balls of steel | 12:15 |
snap-l | rick_h_: I buy my vehicles for the 9 months we don't. :) | 12:15 |
brousch | No AWD? | 12:16 |
brousch | Whoa ""Microsoft's announcement of a late October release date for Windows 8 was eclipsed by its earnings report, in which the computer giant posted its first-ever quarterly loss since going public in 1986. The loss stems from Microsoft's continued struggles with the online services division."" | 12:18 |
rick_h_ | well, they wrote off a giant $6B aquisition that failed | 12:19 |
brousch | Quit RTFA. It's the headlines that matter | 12:19 |
rick_h_ | lol | 12:19 |
snap-l | My worst fear is they'll replace Ballmer with someone who can run the company more effectively | 12:26 |
snap-l | We need Microsoft to flounder like a big company. :) | 12:26 |
snap-l | Zappa on the headphone, and the windows wide open. | 14:26 |
* snap-l wonders what the weather is in Portland | 14:27 | |
snap-l | 63F, mostly cloudy. Still has a hippie front hanging overhead. | 14:28 |
brousch | 63F and cloudy is perfect | 14:29 |
rick_h_ | yep | 14:29 |
brousch | I'm moving to portland | 14:29 |
rick_h_ | it's early there still | 14:29 |
jjesse | brousch, when you pack up, save room for me ok | 14:30 |
brousch | Actually I had an offer to work in Eugene, OR many years ago | 14:30 |
snap-l | WTF? | 14:30 |
jjesse | brousch, i almost worked in seattle | 14:30 |
* snap-l makes a note to stay at the Michigan border so you gents can't leave | 14:30 | |
jjesse | wife didn't want to move across the country and so far away from familty | 14:30 |
brousch | I didn't want to work in Foxpro | 14:31 |
snap-l | brousch: ++ | 14:31 |
brousch | rick_h_droid: How's the 7 treating you? | 14:59 |
rick_h_ | brousch: liking it. combined with that little bluetooth speaker it's a great music/etc device for around the house | 15:00 |
rick_h_ | my phone feels so small now | 15:00 |
rick_h_ | some of the apps are still kind of meh | 15:00 |
rick_h_ | and stuff I wanted to do like edit my presentation for pyohio fail since the drive client can only do docs/spreadsheets | 15:00 |
brousch | H, I haven't tried that | 15:01 |
rick_h_ | yea, just happens to be the kind of stuff I'm messing with atm | 15:01 |
rick_h_ | it's a really nice browser though. | 15:01 |
rick_h_ | going through news, doing research, etc | 15:01 |
brousch | That just means there's still room for more new apps | 15:01 |
rick_h_ | yea | 15:01 |
snap-l | Yeah, looking over your shoulder I was impressed. | 15:02 |
brousch | With rick_h_'s 7 incher? | 15:02 |
rick_h_ | but there is a flicker issue going around it I want to get fixed for sure | 15:03 |
rick_h_ | yea, 7" | 15:03 |
rick_h_ | I do treat it more like a big phone tbh | 15:03 |
rick_h_ | but I've watched more youtube/netflix than I ever did on my phone | 15:03 |
snap-l | rick_h_: I noticed that with the Nook | 15:03 |
rick_h_ | and irc, I gave up on the phone but run it all the time on the N7 | 15:03 |
snap-l | There are things that work so much better with a larger screen | 15:04 |
rick_h_ | yea | 15:04 |
rick_h_ | the magazine isn't great, I'd not do that on the 7" | 15:04 |
rick_h_ | so I can see room for the 10" to do some things | 15:04 |
rick_h_ | again, I've not 'created' much content on it so that might be a case for a 10" being better as well | 15:04 |
snap-l | Yeah, technical reading needs a larger screen | 15:04 |
rick_h_ | but it's replaced my phone for anything around the house really | 15:04 |
rick_h_ | well I still read on the kindle | 15:05 |
snap-l | Wait, which 10" screen are you referring? :) | 15:05 |
rick_h_ | and I've hit audible limitations so not done books on there yet since I use those mobile | 15:05 |
snap-l | I thought that was the kindle | 15:05 |
rick_h_ | snap-l: just saying that a 10" tablet is probably better for 'creating' content on | 15:05 |
MaskedDriver | I'm partial to my Xyboard | 15:05 |
rick_h_ | MaskedDriver: get jellybean on there... <3 | 15:06 |
brousch | rick_h_: What resolution is the 7? | 15:06 |
rick_h_ | 1280-by-800 | 15:06 |
brousch | I find the 1024x600 on the nook color to be just a little less than needed for viewing a 8.5x11 pdf | 15:07 |
MaskedDriver | rick_h_: it's not rooted.. it's a work tablet so I can't :( | 15:07 |
rick_h_ | so far I'm more than happy for the price. Even if it's just a thing to read on around the house. not as warm as the laptop for that stuff. Sat on the front porch watching dilbert on netflix last night and I can't do that on the laptop | 15:07 |
snap-l | I owouldn't own up to that regardless of the device. :) | 15:08 |
brousch | Yeah, and you can bring it within 6 inches of your nose for an IMAX experience | 15:08 |
rick_h_ | oh come on, little brainless time is good for you :P | 15:08 |
snap-l | heh | 15:09 |
rick_h_ | brousch: yea, the speaker is weak though so love the bluetooth speaker for sure | 15:09 |
jjesse | rick_h_ do you do a lot of typing on your 7? | 15:24 |
brousch | Fast thumbs | 15:25 |
brousch | I find the hacker's keyboard full version fits perfectly on 7" | 15:26 |
jjesse | i use swiftkeyX on my Android | 15:26 |
rick_h_ | jjesse: honestly, if no one's around I just use voice. It's that good | 15:26 |
jjesse | wow that's cool | 15:27 |
rick_h_ | jjesse: but I do have the swiftkey tablet I use and that works well | 15:27 |
brousch | Is the speech to text done locally? | 15:27 |
rick_h_ | jjesse: yea, I had a whole multi-text exchange with the wife just via voice and it worked awesome but for one typo I think | 15:27 |
rick_h_ | brousch: not if you're online, but if you're offline it can run locally | 15:27 |
jjesse | thats pretty cool | 15:27 |
brousch | It's pretty slow online | 15:27 |
rick_h_ | e.g. it defaults to online and goes offline as backup | 15:27 |
rick_h_ | no, it's fast | 15:27 |
brousch | And I've found it very bad in my knock knock jokes | 15:27 |
rick_h_ | jelly bean has made a big improvement even over ICS | 15:28 |
rick_h_ | my poor phone feels like a slow clunker now | 15:28 |
rick_h_ | and started to use the Google Now search thing for questions. | 15:28 |
brousch | But online should be the same for any android. I assume they use the same service | 15:28 |
rick_h_ | my favorite is asking it "what's the current weather in portland Oregeon" | 15:28 |
jjesse | my 7 shows "ordered" | 15:28 |
rick_h_ | brousch: no, starting in ICS they send the text up as you speak | 15:29 |
rick_h_ | so it's translating before you're done talking and coming back. So you can really just sit and speak a paragraph and see it slowly form as you're speaking it | 15:29 |
brousch | But it should be the same engine | 15:29 |
rick_h_ | brousch: I'll show you at pyohio, it's fast | 15:29 |
rick_h_ | brousch: I don't konw, the fact that it exists locally makes me think it's got to be different | 15:30 |
rick_h_ | let's say that the time diff locally vs online is minimal that you'd have to be looking to realize it | 15:30 |
brousch | Heh, I just realized my NC has no microphone | 15:30 |
rick_h_ | ah | 15:30 |
rick_h_ | the N7 has dual for noise cancelling | 15:30 |
brousch | It's not so much the slowness that bothers me, it's the bad translations | 15:30 |
brousch | That could help | 15:31 |
rick_h_ | yea, it's much improved in jelly bean | 15:31 |
snap-l | brousch: The Tablet has a mic | 15:31 |
snap-l | but I've never used it (that I'm aware of) | 15:31 |
rick_h_ | I did a test hangout and skype call off the tablet, worked out pretty well though the camera makes me tilt the camers where it's harder to read stuff off the screen | 15:32 |
snap-l | Of course, this is an example of the bullshit apps on this device: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/ghost-radar-classic-app-spud-pickles/1108295820?ean=2940043873682 | 15:32 |
snap-l | That's under productivity. | 15:33 |
brousch | D00d. The B&N App store is junk | 15:33 |
snap-l | It's beyond junk | 15:33 |
rick_h_ | lol | 15:34 |
snap-l | http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/strobe-light-ninja-pig-studios/1107919835?ean=2940043871572 | 15:34 |
rick_h_ | bwuhahaha, got voidspace using whoosh https://twitter.com/voidspace/status/226338469667037184 | 15:34 |
snap-l | http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/love-your-husband-peak-mobile-designs/1108210232?ean=2940043862860 | 15:34 |
snap-l | rick_h_: Very cool | 15:34 |
snap-l | One less "use lucene" | 15:35 |
rick_h_ | that would have been a good talk idea, I should have done that doh! | 15:35 |
brousch | It looks like I could get a bluetooth mic for the NC | 15:35 |
rick_h_ | yea, "pure python to rule them all...well a chunk anyway" | 15:35 |
snap-l | http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/kitchen-timer-kidsandi-software/1108428121?ean=2940043878519 < This app is garbage too | 15:35 |
snap-l | You literally turn this clunky-ass dial | 15:36 |
snap-l | and it sits where and puts a notification event while it's counting down | 15:36 |
snap-l | You can't tell it "I want two minutes", you dial as close as you can | 15:36 |
brousch | hehe | 15:37 |
brousch | realism! | 15:37 |
snap-l | SO, as a simulator for why nobody uses those type of timers, it's awesome. | 15:37 |
brousch | Hm, this has no camera either. Maybe I need a bluetooth webcam with mic | 15:38 |
snap-l | brousch: And here's where you buy a Nexus 7 | 15:38 |
brousch | Heh | 15:38 |
rick_h_ | right, after you spend $100 on extra gear you just spend $200 on the real thing and get latest android updates, dev environment, and nook/kindle apps anyway | 15:39 |
rick_h_ | but yea, I've started to collect bluetooth items lately for the phone/laptop/tablet | 15:39 |
rick_h_ | now the only problem is turning them on and they connect to the wrong device at first lol | 15:39 |
* rick_h_ listing to his google music over BT headphones to the cell phone at the coffee shop. | 15:39 | |
* snap-l still has your Bluetooth Apple keyboard. | 15:40 | |
brousch | Heh "The Bluetooth data bandwidth (2.1Mbit/sec) would limit a ΒΌ VGA video steam (320x240) to 3 frames per second. Bluetooth video would be very choppy at best." | 15:40 |
rick_h_ | snap-l: burn it :P | 15:40 |
snap-l | hah | 15:40 |
snap-l | brousch: I think they have some tricks for newer versions of Bluetooth | 15:41 |
snap-l | but yeah, I think it's getting time for USB Wireless. | 15:41 |
brousch | I'll just find a microphone. I never use a webcam anyways | 15:42 |
rick_h_ | yea, I still have this dream of wireless displays | 15:42 |
brousch | I have the pnone if I really need it | 15:42 |
rick_h_ | my laptop says it'll do it, but linux doesn't support it at all | 15:42 |
snap-l | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_USB#Comparison_of_digital_RF_systems | 15:42 |
snap-l | Version 3.0 + HS of the Bluetooth Core Specification[28] was adopted by the Bluetooth SIG on April 21, 2009. Bluetooth 3.0+HS provides theoretical data transfer speeds of up to 24 Mbit/s, though not over the Bluetooth link itself. Instead, the Bluetooth link is used for negotiation and establishment, and the high data rate traffic is carried over a collocated 802.11 link. | 15:43 |
rick_h_ | http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/intel-wireless-display.html | 15:43 |
brousch | Do I have to worry about Android compatibility if I'm looking for a bluetooth headset? Or do they just work? | 15:44 |
brousch | I haven't bought a bluetooth anything in a decade | 15:44 |
rick_h_ | brousch: so I found most things just work, but there are crappy ones out there I think | 15:44 |
snap-l | I'm not aware of any issues | 15:44 |
rick_h_ | I just go off reviews and make sure I get something well rated by a bunch of people so I know the chipset/hardware is good stuff | 15:44 |
snap-l | I was able to pair my phone with the car last night before the salesguy knew what I was doing | 15:45 |
snap-l | Had BT Audio with no problems. | 15:45 |
rick_h_ | awesome | 15:45 |
snap-l | Stilla little perturbed that the touch screen radio was only an option with the sunroof | 15:46 |
snap-l | but the radio that's in there is good enough | 15:46 |
rick_h_ | meh, touch screens I'm not too hot on anyway | 15:46 |
snap-l | Yeah, but would be nice to have RDS and the like | 15:47 |
rick_h_ | I've never had issues with buttons accepting my touch, firing at the right point, etc | 15:47 |
rick_h_ | RDS? | 15:47 |
snap-l | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Data_System | 15:48 |
snap-l | I've only had that on the Alero, and liked it | 15:48 |
rick_h_ | oic | 15:48 |
rick_h_ | right, yea I guess I didn't realize lack of touch screen meant lack of visual real estate for other stuff | 15:48 |
snap-l | Well, it's still a dot matrix display | 15:49 |
snap-l | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRRMxubIoMU | 15:50 |
snap-l | brousch: Apparently you're getting Shawn Powers closeby | 16:05 |
snap-l | http://www.brainofshawn.com/2012/07/20/its-official-and-a-bit-scary/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=its-official-and-a-bit-scary | 16:06 |
rick_h_ | lmao http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4271378 | 16:07 |
snap-l | What is Sparrow? | 16:07 |
rick_h_ | the cool kids app on OSX/iOS for mail | 16:07 |
rick_h_ | there's going to be a bunch of unhappy apple fanbois | 16:08 |
rick_h_ | so I laugh! | 16:08 |
rick_h_ | it begins! http://uploads.mitechie.com/sparrow.png | 16:08 |
_stink_ | haha | 16:09 |
jjesse | fascinating he went to cornerstone | 16:09 |
snap-l | Oh for fuck's sake | 16:09 |
snap-l | Next we'll get jcastro saying mail on the desktop is ded | 16:09 |
snap-l | dead, even | 16:09 |
* rick_h_ checks the transcript... | 16:09 | |
rick_h_ | yep been there done that :P | 16:09 |
rick_h_ | the only problem with the N7 http://goo.gl/TleSP | 16:10 |
rick_h_ | I've started to get a lot of video off of AMZ | 16:10 |
rick_h_ | and I've wanted to catch the west wing, never saw it | 16:10 |
snap-l | THat's the problem with Netflix | 16:12 |
snap-l | I've been watching documentaries. :) | 16:12 |
snap-l | Like the one on the pruitt-igoe project http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pruitt%E2%80%93Igoe | 16:12 |
snap-l | http://www.pruitt-igoe.com/ | 16:12 |
rick_h_ | best comment http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4271430 | 16:23 |
* rick_h_ is dinking around on news waiting for a bzr push to actually go through *sigh* | 16:23 | |
snap-l | rick_h_: I think that's a bit harsh | 16:34 |
rick_h_ | snap-l: yea, since this is going to be a team put into UX/etc of the gmail stuff and not a product that is supposed to be moved/integrated | 16:35 |
greg-g | I just get 'The requested URL could not be retrieved' | 16:43 |
greg-g | bad timing http://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/movie-gun-myths/ | 16:46 |
snap-l | greg-g: And I await the crackdown on cosplay at movies | 16:46 |
greg-g | actually, I haven't seen much, just a few tweets, haven't read any news on it yet, but all I know is it sucks | 16:47 |
rick_h_ | yea | 16:48 |
rick_h_ | friend from OH was at a hotel blocks away last night :/ | 16:48 |
greg-g | eek | 16:48 |
rick_h_ | yea, guess he didn't get much sleep due to sirens for the night | 16:49 |
brousch | Shawn Powers? | 16:56 |
snap-l | brousch: Yeah, he's coming to live near you | 16:57 |
snap-l | in GR | 16:57 |
brousch | I wonder why he rented in south GR when he'll be working far north | 16:57 |
brousch | 131 ehll every day | 16:57 |
brousch | hell | 16:57 |
brousch | Ah, Linux Journal | 16:58 |
brousch | Hm, time to recruit him for the various groups | 16:59 |
rick_h_ | hah | 16:59 |
rick_h_ | mmm, interesting point https://twitter.com/ericflo/status/226360336796758016 | 17:00 |
snap-l | rick_h_: Well, I'd be more worried of Yahoo bought Sparrow Mail | 17:06 |
snap-l | jaiku and dodgeball at least got merged into the Google borg | 17:07 |
snap-l | and weren't left to flounder on their own with 100 managers saying "make it {favorite_color}" | 17:07 |
snap-l | Chill, people | 17:08 |
snap-l | now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to blog about how the weather channel is killing wunderground | 17:08 |
rick_h_ | hah | 17:09 |
brousch | Thanks for the heads-up | 17:14 |
brousch | OK, I picked up a bluetooth car hands-free thing at lunch. It pairs, but it doesn't send audio out through it | 17:16 |
brousch | I think it's being too smart and only routing phone stuff through it | 17:16 |
rick_h_ | yea, there's two types of audio devices, mono phone type, and stereo music stuff | 17:17 |
rick_h_ | and different apps need to be in different modes | 17:17 |
brousch | Wow, he responded already | 17:19 |
jjesse | rick_h_ i have several people saying they are now looking for a new mail client instead of sparrow | 17:38 |
snap-l | I hear Thunderbird is done | 17:39 |
brousch | Gmail | 17:41 |
MaskedDriver | Exchange? | 17:46 |
rick_h_ | mutt never goes away :P | 17:46 |
MaskedDriver | Outlook? | 17:46 |
MaskedDriver | ;) | 17:46 |
snap-l | MaskedDriver: You can have my Exchange share. | 17:47 |
MaskedDriver | rick_h_: I actually rock out an Exchange server | 17:47 |
MaskedDriver | mostly to learn how it works | 17:47 |
* rick_h_ runs from exchange...never again | 17:47 | |
brousch | rock out? | 17:47 |
brousch | Is that possible? | 17:47 |
snap-l | Yeah, like my parents rocked out | 17:48 |
MaskedDriver | lol yeah.. no problems here | 17:48 |
MaskedDriver | snap-l: I still rock out | 17:48 |
brousch | That's like saying you rock out in a Winebago | 17:48 |
rick_h_ | wait until a mailbox goes boom | 17:48 |
MaskedDriver | rick_h_: impossible | 17:48 |
MaskedDriver | plus.. backups ftw | 17:48 |
snap-l | MaskedDriver: Oh hell no | 17:48 |
snap-l | Not impossible. Every time Outlook creates an archive file, an e-mail gets its wings | 17:49 |
snap-l | never to be seen or heard from again | 17:49 |
MaskedDriver | lol | 17:49 |
* snap-l can't remember the extension | 17:49 | |
snap-l | but it was the equivalent of wrapping your mail in a binary blob and setting it on fire | 17:49 |
brousch | winmail.dat makes me want to kick puppies | 17:50 |
MaskedDriver | *shrugs* no problems here | 17:51 |
MaskedDriver | you're just bad at Exchange | 17:51 |
rick_h_ | MaskedDriver: how many users? how long? how many upgrades? | 17:52 |
rick_h_ | I mean seriously, you're saying because you've not had a problem they don't exist? | 17:52 |
MaskedDriver | 1 user, 1 year, a lot | 17:52 |
MaskedDriver | ;) | 17:52 |
MaskedDriver | lol we use it at work and we've never had data failure.. 150 users or so for about 5 years | 17:52 |
rick_h_ | ok, so let me know when you're admin'ing a system for a company for a few years and we'll chat then :) | 17:52 |
snap-l | You run Exchange personally? | 17:52 |
brousch | It looks like we found yet another topic to get rick_h_ all worked up with | 17:52 |
MaskedDriver | snap-l: yeah.. technet supremacy | 17:53 |
snap-l | MaskedDriver: It's not a quastion of if, it's a question of when | 17:53 |
MaskedDriver | it's for development/learning purposes | 17:53 |
MaskedDriver | I guess technically there are 10 users but I'm the only one that uses it regularly | 17:54 |
rick_h_ | brousch: I've wasted many a year trying to keep up exchange, windows pdas, outlook, offline pst files, and all crap. never want to see it again | 17:54 |
snap-l | rick_h_: Those are the ones... .pst files | 17:54 |
snap-l | I cringe whenever I see those | 17:55 |
jjesse | pst files are awesome | 17:55 |
snap-l | they're the cement shoes of mail data | 17:55 |
brousch | OK, I missed this earlier. Sparrow, a OSX and iOS email app, was purchased by Google? | 17:56 |
snap-l | brousch: Did you think we were just talking about e-mail for the hell of it? :) | 17:57 |
brousch | Yes | 17:57 |
jjesse | brousch, you mean you twitter or g+ feed isn't full of people "now i'm looking for a new mail app" | 17:57 |
snap-l | Silly brousch. It takes an internet of rage-quit to get us to talk about something | 17:57 |
MaskedDriver | ok.. I sufficiently angered rick_h_, so I'm going back to work | 17:57 |
MaskedDriver | :D | 17:58 |
brousch | jjesse: I don't have a lot of Apple fanboys in my feeds | 17:58 |
jjesse | brousch, hahaha | 17:58 |
rick_h_ | how can you follow python poeple without them? | 17:58 |
snap-l | brousch: You must not follow many developers | 17:59 |
brousch | Actually I haven't checked my feeds since lunch | 17:59 |
snap-l | That's when the Apple world grieved. | 18:00 |
snap-l | https://twitter.com/Ihnatko/status/226372550500954112 <- Here's your dose of Portland | 18:00 |
snap-l | Enjoy. | 18:00 |
brousch | What's wrong with a little public nudity? | 18:01 |
snap-l | I just report it | 18:05 |
greg-g | I want all of the OSCON attendees to go through security naked tonight | 18:23 |
greg-g | I think I convinced my old boss :) | 18:23 |
rick_h_9 | how is oscon treating you greg-g? | 18:24 |
brousch | Apparently very well if he wants to get naked with all of them | 18:25 |
greg-g | rick_h_9: a great time | 18:26 |
greg-g | brousch: maybe I should redefine my goal, maybe not *all* | 18:26 |
snap-l | Moving the goalposts, I see. :) | 18:29 |
snap-l | It won't work unless we ALL do it. :) | 18:29 |
greg-g | alright, we'll all take one for the team, back to the original plan! | 18:30 |
snap-l | http://garyc.me/bring/ | 18:46 |
rick_h_ | test | 18:47 |
snap-l | Received | 18:47 |
rick_h_ | cool, tmux ssh session loaded on tablet | 18:47 |
snap-l | Nice | 18:47 |
rick_h_9 | hacker keyboard is cool with alt, esc, ctrl keys but much harder to use | 18:51 |
snap-l | Yeah, I think Microsoft is on to something witht he separate screen for keyboard | 18:51 |
snap-l | I'm curious how the Surface will play out | 18:51 |
snap-l | I think it'll be a flop, but have some interesting ideas | 18:52 |
rick_h_ | yea, the surface I'm not sold on | 18:54 |
rick_h_ | I think it's a prettier version of current laptops | 18:55 |
snap-l | yep | 18:57 |
snap-l | But then again, that seems to be how people are using their ipads | 18:58 |
snap-l | WOW was here. :) | 20:53 |
rick_h_9 | Hopefully they give you some good news | 21:04 |
snap-l | Well, they replaced some stuff on the pole | 21:05 |
snap-l | thing is, it's pretty much chasing ghosts | 21:05 |
snap-l | It didn't go down much today. Earlier this week I wanted to rip my hair out. | 21:05 |
snap-l | And whenever they show up, it's beautiful sailing | 21:05 |
snap-l | Also asked them why their clock was off by so much | 21:07 |
snap-l | Have to hand it to this tech: he wasn't the normal "here's your modem" "Have you tried turning it off and on again" sort. | 21:08 |
rick_h_ | heh cool, arbor networks emailed me | 21:08 |
snap-l | What's the gist? | 21:09 |
rick_h_ | just recruiter-y stuff, but from arbor networks itself vs something generic | 21:09 |
snap-l | Ah, that's cool | 21:10 |
rick_h_ | just we're looking for devs, have top notch facilities and 'work/life balance' | 21:10 |
snap-l | Ah, those are nice to get. | 21:10 |
