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