[00:00] <rmg51> from what I heard Septa is shutting down
[00:01] <rmg51> and schools are closed
[00:03] <rmg51> if this keeps up I'll have to stay home to baby sit Mom
[00:05] <ChinnoDog> I am ready to survive on peebs
[00:05] <ChinnoDog> I should run a load of dishes tonight while there is still power
[00:06] <ChinnoDog> Also instructed my ice maker in my freezer to fill the tray
[00:06] <rmg51> to put this laptop in hibernation or not
[00:06] <ChinnoDog> My office is officially closed now
[00:06] <ChinnoDog> hibernation vs suspend?
[00:06] <rmg51> yep
[00:07] <rmg51> if power goes out during the day and I'm at work, will the battery last long enough?
[00:07] <rmg51> most likely it will
[00:11] <ChinnoDog> Better to hibernate to get the maximum juice out
[00:14] <rmg51> I'll wait till morning to decide
[01:46] <waltman> pretty much everything's going to be closed in Philly until Wedneesday
[02:00] <rmg51> not my place
[02:00] <rmg51> it's always open
[02:01] <rmg51> my boss is to dumb to know when to stay closed
[02:01] <rmg51> there is always something to do
[02:02] <rmg51> like pump water out of the basement :P
[02:29] <waltman> Drexel's closed Monday and Tuesday
[02:29] <waltman> to be honest it doesn't seem very stormy here yet.
[02:47] <waltman> So one of the PhD students in my lab just sent out this email: "I have taken the servers down in preparation for the big storm.  They will not be back online until Wednesday at the earliest."
[02:47] <waltman> We only have one server that I know of, and it also runs our website. Which is now offline.
[03:11] <waltman> I don't understand the problem he's trying to solve by doing this.
[03:11] <waltman> I can think of two problems -- losing power and a flood in the computer room. The first should be handled by the UPS. In case of the latter, the box is dead anyway.
[03:26] <waltman> oh nice, the servers aren't on UPS.
[03:26] <waltman> still, linux generally doesn't corrupt data when it loses power.
[09:27] <rmg51> Morning
[09:49] <anduril> morning all
[10:24] <jedijf> roads are dead
[11:52] <waltman> JonathanD: So trips to Ghana and Copenhagen weren't enough? You also had to toss in a Giants World Series win? You're not pretending about pleia2's holodeck anymore, are you?
[11:53] <pleia2> he's letting me out after all this (I'll be in Philly next week)
[11:53] <waltman> I'm just worried that your basement's going to flood and she's going to wake up and find out that the Yankees really won the Series.
[11:54] <pleia2> :(
[11:54] <waltman> enjoy it while you can! :)
[11:54] <pleia2> hehe
[11:54] <pleia2> I kind of feel bad for the tigers
[11:54] <pleia2> just a little
[11:54] <pleia2> apparently the game last night was good though :)
[11:56] <waltman> I'd feel a bit more sympathy for Detroit fans if the Lions didn't beat the Eagles a few weeks ago. :)
[11:58] <waltman> So far it's just wet here.
[12:03] <JonathanD> :D
[12:50] <anduril> so whats this about the atlantic city board walk going away?
[14:16] <teddy-dbear> Hi peoples
[14:37] <ChinnoDog> "going away"?
[18:25] <ChinnoDog> Still not doing a whole lot out there
[18:27] <waltman> ChinnoDog: where are you?
[18:29] <ChinnoDog> Merrifield, VA
[18:31] <waltman> ah
[18:31] <waltman> I'm in the Philly burbs and it's just raining hard.
[18:38] <Sadin> I hope we lose power at work
[18:38] <Sadin> :)
[18:39] <Sadin> well kick all out customers out and lock the doors and sit under the emergency lights and still get paid :D
[18:39] <Sadin> mcdonalds logic, dont send anyone home, pay us for sitting in a dark in operational store
[20:23] <waltman> http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2012/10/29/163874835/sandwich-monday-the-pb-p # keep this in mind when you start running out of food
[20:42] <anduril> hmm play skyrim or borderlands 2 tonight
[20:44] <anduril> haha al roker is getting blown around like a fool
[20:51] <mikedep333> anduril, still happening
[20:51] <mikedep333> hi all
[20:52] <mikedep333> has anyone else viewed the new FEMA 2010-2011 draft flood maps?
[20:52] <mikedep333> it uses google earth
[23:55] <rmg51> power just came back on
[23:56] <waltman> how long was it out?
[23:57] <rmg51> went out around 4:22
