[00:00] from what I heard Septa is shutting down [00:01] and schools are closed [00:03] if this keeps up I'll have to stay home to baby sit Mom [00:05] I am ready to survive on peebs [00:05] I should run a load of dishes tonight while there is still power [00:06] Also instructed my ice maker in my freezer to fill the tray [00:06] to put this laptop in hibernation or not [00:06] My office is officially closed now [00:06] hibernation vs suspend? [00:06] yep [00:07] if power goes out during the day and I'm at work, will the battery last long enough? [00:07] most likely it will [00:11] Better to hibernate to get the maximum juice out [00:14] I'll wait till morning to decide [01:46] pretty much everything's going to be closed in Philly until Wedneesday [02:00] not my place [02:00] it's always open [02:01] my boss is to dumb to know when to stay closed [02:01] there is always something to do [02:02] like pump water out of the basement :P [02:29] Drexel's closed Monday and Tuesday [02:29] to be honest it doesn't seem very stormy here yet. [02:47] 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] We only have one server that I know of, and it also runs our website. Which is now offline. [03:11] I don't understand the problem he's trying to solve by doing this. [03:11] 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] oh nice, the servers aren't on UPS. [03:26] still, linux generally doesn't corrupt data when it loses power. [09:27] Morning [09:49] morning all [10:24] roads are dead [11:52] 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] he's letting me out after all this (I'll be in Philly next week) [11:53] 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] :( [11:54] enjoy it while you can! :) [11:54] hehe [11:54] I kind of feel bad for the tigers [11:54] just a little [11:54] apparently the game last night was good though :) [11:56] I'd feel a bit more sympathy for Detroit fans if the Lions didn't beat the Eagles a few weeks ago. :) [11:58] So far it's just wet here. [12:03] :D [12:50] so whats this about the atlantic city board walk going away? [14:16] Hi peoples [14:37] "going away"? === ssweeny` is now known as ssweeny [18:25] Still not doing a whole lot out there [18:27] ChinnoDog: where are you? [18:29] Merrifield, VA [18:31] ah [18:31] I'm in the Philly burbs and it's just raining hard. [18:38] I hope we lose power at work [18:38] :) [18:39] well kick all out customers out and lock the doors and sit under the emergency lights and still get paid :D [18:39] mcdonalds logic, dont send anyone home, pay us for sitting in a dark in operational store [20:23] 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] hmm play skyrim or borderlands 2 tonight [20:44] haha al roker is getting blown around like a fool [20:51] anduril, still happening [20:51] hi all [20:52] has anyone else viewed the new FEMA 2010-2011 draft flood maps? [20:52] it uses google earth [23:55] power just came back on [23:56] how long was it out? [23:57] went out around 4:22
