[14:39] I have code that fails the first time I run it, but succeeds the second time if I run it on the same connection. How bad am I if I just catch the exception and re-run it? [14:39] bad... :P [14:40] new book time: Reamde or Anathem vote! [14:40] But to find the problem I'll need to dig into pyodbc and Visual foxpro drivers on windows [14:41] but if you find the problem you'll learn something that might apply from now until you stop coding due to crazy old age :P [14:42] But I have to use WinXP over a VNC session to look into it [14:43] And a year from now I won't give a damn [14:44] Ug, I'll see how motivated I am next week [14:44] heh [14:52] rick_h_: Hey, ask Erica if she's ever seen a E978 patient? [14:52] Or a 994.9? [14:53] rick_h_: Also, haven't read either books, so no opinion (Readme vs. Anathem) [14:53] she doesn't know either [14:53] snap-l: is that the billing diagnosis code or something? [14:53] ICD codes, allegedly [14:54] ah, my dad would know those. Erica doesn't so much. The medical billers tend to turn the diagnosis/etc into the codes for that I think [14:54] http://www.findacode.com/search/search.php [14:54] do you know what those numbers mean? [14:54] so she says E978 is legal execution. 994.9 is effects of gravitational forces [14:55] E978 is legal execution according to the site I found (was presented as decapitation) [14:55] And the second one is weightlessness, I believe. [14:55] Interesting that they're all coded. [14:55] so was the question for the oddness factor? [14:56] yes [14:56] The claim was you can tell a lot about the doctor and what they do by their ICD codes [14:56] ah ok. Sorry, we often get personal applicable questions so I took it as a serious inquiry to her initially [14:56] that they have memorized [14:57] Nah, I check the Internet for my medical needs [14:57] ;) [14:57] ah ok, sorry humor fitting in now. [14:58] http://www.amazon.com/PetSafe-Simply-Clean-Continuous-Clean-Litter/dp/B000GF0X38/ref=reg_hu-rd_add_1_dp [14:59] This is very sexy on so many levels. ;) [14:59] heh, I used to have a box one that self cleaned. Sucked for small cat droppings and was fail [14:59] Your idea of sexy is unusual [14:59] brousch: Imagine potty-training over clay pellets [14:59] http://www.amazon.com/Littermaid-LM980-Mega-Self-Cleaning-Litter/dp/B004HGXVOK/ref=sr_1_7?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1356706788&sr=1-7&keywords=automatic+litter+box fail [15:00] rick_h_: Yeah, most of those rake systems are fail [15:00] and long-term expensive. [15:01] Neat thing about this one is it doesn't require any special bags / boxes / cartridges [15:01] Saw it at Pet Smart, and became quite interested. [15:01] Seems it's also prone to jamming, and I wonder what the target area is for the cat [15:01] she's a digger. [15:28] tap*tap*tap Penny [15:28] is this thing on? [15:28] Nice pipe [15:29] Thanks. Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to all. [15:30] I miss hanging out here. It's a shame Chrysler blocked all my irc sites [15:30] Get a new job! [15:30] Hey rick_h_droid [15:30] Hey Wolfger ! [15:30] I'm about to get a new job, but I'll still be here at Chrysler. :-p [15:31] That doesn't count [15:31] It's really the same job, just I'm moving to a new company and a new method of billing Chrysler. [15:32] but today I'm off site and leaching the OEM's visitor wifi :-) [16:38] Wolfger: Niiiice. [16:38] Which company bought you out? [16:42] bbl [17:03] Wolfger: party? [17:23] Finally got a new UPS for the computer [17:23] and I hate the new trend for power supplies [17:23] the "move the supply bits to the side" [17:28] It's official. Android has won. http://techcrunch.com/2012/12/27/bluestacks-app-player-for-mac-launches-beta-now-you-can-run-over-750000-android-apps-on-mac/ [17:30] brousch: Great, it's the Windows of the mobile world. ;) [17:30] Indeed [17:32] great, the latest Wine [17:32] only now instead of windows on linux it's android on mac [17:36] snap-l: Creative Automation, just North of AA a bit. [17:36] rick_h_: Party! [17:36] brousch: was there ever any doubt of Android's victory? [17:37] Ah, the joys of getting paid to sit around and eat pizza.... But soon, I might actually get to do some work. [17:41] So what's everybody up to these days? Did the Lococast die? [17:54] * rick_h_ looks away [17:54] Wolfger: just not enough hours in the day these days [17:55] jcastro: http://r.bmark.us/u/78596d36fcc973 looks like it's time to move dns to route53. Will be cool [17:55] yeah [17:55] I need to move to cloudfront too [17:59] rick_h_: sorry to hear that. Hopefully some day you can get back to it again. [18:01] Wolfger: yea, I've got to figure out time for things. Too many interests/hobbies [18:01] need to get someone to pay me to woodwork, hack on bookie, do lococast, do presentations/talks, and all that [18:14] Wolfger: i'd want to meet for beer, but I'm sick. welcome to AA area :p [18:48] jrwren: Yeah, today's not good for me, either. Hopefully getting out a little early today, so I can get to everything I want to get to tonight. Like "The Hobbit". :-D [19:32] * Wolfger runs quickly before somebody here changes their mind.... [19:32] bye everybody [23:12] howdy [23:16] hi [23:17] hows it going [23:17] bought a new car today [23:17] well not really new [23:17] just rolled into the garage.
