| derekv | like, i want a sit-stand workstations setup | 00:11 |
|---|---|---|
| derekv | -s | 00:11 |
| derekv | but | 00:11 |
| derekv | i don't care about haveing an entire desk that raises up | 00:12 |
| derekv | i hardly even need a desk | 00:12 |
| derekv | i find it silly | 00:12 |
| derekv | i just need a place for keyboard, mouse, monitors | 00:12 |
| rick_h_ | derekv: the other thing to think about is the fold up table top | 01:38 |
| rick_h_ | I almost did that before I bought my geekdesk | 01:38 |
| rick_h_ | or even something like http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mcpace/the-stand-up-desk-kit | 01:38 |
| rick_h_ | http://www.ergotron.com/ProductsDetails/tabid/65/PRDID/379/language/en-US/Default.aspx are kind of cool | 01:39 |
| rick_h_ | http://www.squidoo.com/folding-wall-mounted-desk is kidn of the flip wall mount I mean | 01:40 |
| rick_h_ | but I will say I consider my geekdesk worth every penny | 01:41 |
| snap-l | rick_h_: Yeah, the release party was tonight | 02:35 |
| snap-l | thought you were busy, so didn't make too many noises about it | 02:35 |
| rick_h_droid | yea didn't get back from baptism party until 7pm | 02:36 |
| rick_h_droid | I just thought the party was tomorrow | 02:36 |
| rick_h_droid | told jcastro I thought it was doh | 02:36 |
| snap-l | jcastro_ and Jill made it out | 02:37 |
| snap-l | jcastro_: Dude, did not realize what happened with Queensryche. Apparently there's now two bands under that moniker? | 02:38 |
| rick_h_droid | ah that's good then. Would have hated to mess it up for them | 02:38 |
| tony-smlr | The Sunday Morning Linux Review Podcast is Live! http://www.youtube.com/user/tbemus?v=IZKUSyj_wqY | 11:31 |
| snap-l | good morning | 13:58 |
| derekv | rick_h_droid: so on the desk thing yea I found geekdesk a bit later it is at least priced better relative to another company i was looking at | 17:24 |
| rick_h_droid | derekv yea and if you just get the legs you save a bunch. I just out s solid core door on top | 17:24 |
| rick_h_droid | cuts over 100 off of it | 17:25 |
| derekv | I have a vision of a system that mounts on a pole, the wall or the ceiling and you can move it around, tilt it etc, with keyboard, mouse trays on independant arms and a decent number of monitors | 17:25 |
| derekv | there's a company tnat makes a system that is a pole then you buy monitor mounts and keyboard mounts etc for it | 17:26 |
| derekv | not cheap though ... its not like having a desk surface is a problem, it just seems unneeded | 17:27 |
| rick_h_droid | yea once I got mi | 17:28 |
| rick_h_droid | monitors on arms it's nice to have dual displays and sucj | 17:29 |
| rick_h_droid | just stand up and sit down easy without changing or moving things on the desk | 17:29 |
| derekv | yea so I thought the easy thing is to get the geekdesk and then some monitor arms for dual monitors | 17:29 |
| derekv | any monitor past 2 can just sit on its own stand | 17:30 |
| derekv | the arms could give any extra height and some tilt if I want it | 17:30 |
| rick_h_droid | yea true. just they clear the desk, make room for the dock under them etc | 17:31 |
| derekv | gah | 17:35 |
| rick_h_ | gah? | 17:35 |
| Blazeix | gah. | 17:35 |
| derekv | gary bernhardt's tweet that the entire process model, kernel, and language (all of them) is broken for distributed systems | 17:35 |
| derekv | then he tweets that fist thing is to replace everything with bytcode | 17:35 |
| rick_h_ | :) | 17:36 |
| derekv | and i threw up a little | 17:36 |
| rick_h_ | yea, gary you have to follow with a salt-lick of salt | 17:36 |
| rick_h_ | <3 usb3 | 17:36 |
| rick_h_ | backing up the system to prepare for reinstall wheee | 17:36 |
| rick_h_ | can backup my whole system faster than download that iso | 17:37 |
| derekv | do you think he's not serious or just into bad ideas? ive never watched his screencasts but i saw him at strangeloop | 17:38 |
| derekv | he was advocating for disruptive change | 17:38 |
| derekv | so i was curious what his ideas might be | 17:38 |
| derekv | i'm finding likely that while perhaps disruptive change is good, he's not the right guy to direct it | 17:41 |
| rick_h_ | he's just ecentric | 17:42 |
| rick_h_ | he has good ideas, but is also in an ideal world | 17:42 |
| rick_h_ | and has lots of time to do this kind of researchy idealogical type stuff | 17:42 |
| derekv | yea | 17:45 |
| derekv | lets build the second system, lets make it ... perfect | 17:46 |
| rick_h_ | man, are there any good movies :/ | 17:46 |
| rick_h_ | right, and make it my vision of perfect | 17:46 |
| rick_h_ | I mean the guy's spent time ripping apart the ruby language to fix things that bug him | 17:46 |
| rick_h_ | it takes a special person to go into that | 17:46 |
| rick_h_ | smart, crazy, etc | 17:47 |
| derekv | frankly i'd like to be in that position | 17:48 |
| rick_h_ | yea, it's cool in some ways | 17:48 |
| derekv | thats one career outcome i'd call santisfactory | 17:48 |
| rick_h_ | but I honestly like building things | 17:48 |
| derekv | you need a mix of both | 17:49 |
| rick_h_ | so I don't think I could spend that much time in the low levels of that stuff without going a little nuts | 17:49 |
| derekv | yea .. afk | 17:49 |
| rick_h_ | but yea, I'd love to have time to really just tinker and see what comes of certain things more than the 'what's required to get x project done' way | 17:49 |
| derekv | a lot of time gets waisted by people getting overly idealistic or academic | 18:04 |
| derekv | but it is insignificant compaired to the time waisted by all the times people put up with something thats wrong because fixing it isn't required to get x project done | 18:04 |
| derekv | i need some chow | 18:06 |
| derekv | bbl | 18:06 |
| derekv | caffiene | 19:28 |
| derekv | i love it | 19:28 |
| derekv | i'm afriad I'm going to have to give it up at some point, I can tell it effects me differently then it used to | 19:29 |
| rick_h_ | yea | 19:35 |
| rick_h_ | I go through waves with it | 19:35 |
| rick_h_ | and the delivery mechanism | 19:35 |
| derekv | yea maybe i should just stop mainlining it | 19:37 |
| derekv | people get the wrong idea when they see all the tracer marks | 19:37 |
| brousch | I am off it | 19:47 |
| brousch | Now it makes me sweaty and gives me angina | 19:47 |
| derekv | http://superuser.com/questions/124336/mac-os-x-keyboard-shortcuts-for-terminal <- derek makes another mark on the "to not buy macbook again" column | 19:50 |
| derekv | so | 19:51 |
| derekv | its hypocritcal coming from me because i've never been able to settle with one eviroment long enought to really learn its full potiental , like shortcuts etc | 19:51 |
| derekv | and customize it | 19:51 |
| derekv | but with the work , pair programming thing | 19:52 |
| derekv | makes it impossible | 19:52 |
| derekv | the obvious solution if it were not for having to deal with work computers would be to customize all my stuff | 19:53 |
| derekv | so I could mess with terminal on mac, or just not use mac, or install zsh and customize that | 19:53 |
| derekv | nvm | 19:54 |
| derekv | i don't know what my point is | 19:54 |
| derekv | I think it was that I'm frustrated by the three way trade off between working with others, customizing and optimizing your enviroment, and working in different enviroments | 19:58 |
| derekv | Another aspect is the desire to fix up my home work space | 19:59 |
| derekv | but I probably won't spend more than 5 or 10 hours a week using it | 19:59 |
| rick_h_ | meh, script and git repos and customize your crap to be effecient | 20:14 |
| brousch | If everyone would just use Eclipse this wouldn't be a problem | 21:08 |
| brousch | Damn Detroit http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/10/21/michigan-police-investigate-series-shootings-involving-cars-on-busy-roads/?test=latestnews | 21:18 |
| brousch | rick_h_: It may be my imagination, but the ubuntu-michigan membership I just approved seemed to go much faster than before | 21:28 |
| rick_h_ | brousch: must be a good day :P | 22:26 |
| brousch | I haven't done it in months, so I will blame you for the new speed | 22:26 |
| rick_h_ | brousch: excellent, send a message to my boss please | 22:27 |
| rick_h_ | he'll wonder how my UI work on private projects effected user approval, but I'll take it | 22:28 |
| brousch | darn | 22:35 |
