[01:04]  * rick_h_ grumbles still can't find a decent high res desktop display...
[01:04] <rick_h_> Blazeix's res has me jealous
[01:18] <snap-l> heh
[03:51] <caboose1911> Good evening everyone, what is going on?
[12:03] <rick_h_> boooo, giving my wife the subie to drive so no play time for me...
[12:03] <rick_h_> I've got an itch to get a coffee...from woodward...
[13:30] <jcastro> man you guys got way more snow than us rick_h_
[13:30] <jjesse> happy friday
[13:30] <rick_h_> jcastro: yea, think it was more up north from what I was hearing
[13:31] <rick_h_> think we had 4" at 6am and it's starting to come down more
[13:31] <rick_h_> had to send the wife out with the subie...guess I need to go get my touareg today instead of next month :P
[13:31] <jjesse> i was surprised on the drive home last night the roads were dry all the way until we got off the highway in Grand Rapids
[13:31] <rick_h_> can't go play :(
[13:31] <rick_h_> jjesse: that's awesome. Yea when I went to bed 11pm it was clear as can be
[13:32] <jjesse> yeah everyone was wondering when we would hit the snow and stuff and we didn't until we got home
[13:32] <jjesse> must have timed it just right
[13:33] <brousch> jjesse: We got a few inches during the day, then like 6" at night
[13:33] <jjesse> yeah i noticed the 6 inches over night trust me ;)
[13:34] <brousch> I barely got out of our road
[13:35] <brousch> Wyoming cancelled school
[13:35] <jjesse> i think everyone canceled school
[13:40] <jjesse> how come it seems that back when i was in school they never canceled school
[13:40] <jjesse> and now it seems school gets canceled a lot?
[13:43] <brousch> Scools are wimps now
[13:43] <brousch> Although this is the first time Wyoming has cancelled
[13:49] <rick_h_> so is there any non sucky jewelry place out by us snap-l jcastro and company?
[13:50] <jcastro> what kind of jewelry, you talking repair and whatnot or shopping?
[13:51] <jjesse> rick_h_, i thought of you when i saw this article on competitive wood planning in japan http://kottke.org/13/02/competitive-wood-planing
[13:51] <jjesse> planin
[13:51] <jjesse> argh
[13:51] <jjesse> need more coffee
[13:51] <rick_h_> jcastro: shopping
[13:52] <jcastro> rick_h_: the tappers in farmington is nice, that's where we got our wedding stuff
[13:52] <rick_h_> jcastro: 10yrs since we started dating, time to get something decent for valentines I guess.
[13:53] <jcastro> tappers then
[13:53] <rick_h_> jcastro: cool, thanks
[13:54] <jcastro> jill has an idea of a place too, will send over email
[13:54] <rick_h_> jcastro: very cool, appreciate it
[13:54] <rick_h_> when I got rings it was some years ago and I went to GR for it
[13:54] <jcastro> I got Jill an extra diamond band last year to plus up her ring
[13:54] <jcastro> and I ended up getting something for myself too, heh
[13:55] <jcastro> rick_h_: you might want to scope out cobalt rings for yourself, they're cheap
[13:55] <jcastro> and they look bad ass
[13:55] <rick_h_> very cool, yea I think she's always wanted a bracelet, but I can't stand jewelry places and the used car salesman way they run
[13:55] <rick_h_> if things are always 50% off...they're not really 50% off :P
[13:56] <jcastro> yeah
[13:56] <jcastro> I am very practical when it comes to things like that.
[13:56] <rick_h_> right, the place I went to in GR was a small family place. Very cool to work with...just don't have time for that drive right now
[13:56] <jcastro> Too many people I know with sick rocks living paycheck to paycheck
[14:09] <brousch> rick_h_: We're just right up the road!
[14:10] <rick_h_> brousch: :P
[14:10] <brousch> Where did you go?
[14:12] <rick_h_> brousch: I *think* it was http://devriesjewelers.com/devries2012about-us/ ? honestly been years and not 100% sure
[14:13] <brousch> I've not been there
[14:15] <rick_h_> map seems about right. I'm too visual with stuff. I can still picture the left turn into the road it sat on
[14:16] <brousch> Google Street View!
[14:39] <snap-l> rick_h_: There's a place I trust called Miner's Den
[14:39] <snap-l> It's on Rochester Road, North of 13 mile
[14:39] <snap-l> Parking lot is stupid, but they're genuine
[14:40] <snap-l> http://www.minersden.com/
[14:40] <snap-l> They also do battery replacements on watches for a donation to the Boy's Club
[14:41] <snap-l> <3 it when a place says they have a blog and it doesn't have an RSS feed
[14:41] <snap-l> No, you have an announcement section nobody will read.
[14:43] <snap-l> We got our wedding bands from Dobie Jewelers in Royal Oak. Sadly they're long extinct.
[14:43] <brousch> Is that where Dobie went after Harry Potter?
[14:43] <snap-l> That's Dobby
[14:44] <rick_h_> snap-l: cool thanks
[14:44] <snap-l> That's where Dolby went after solving the surround problem.
[14:44] <brousch> OH, so it was started by one of the Dobie Brothers?
[14:44] <snap-l> Doobie
[15:16] <shakes808> Good morn\ing all
[15:16] <shakes808> morning
[15:30] <snap-l> rick_h_: I was going to ask you which one you got.
[15:30] <snap-l> was re: snow pusher
[15:30] <rick_h_> that pusher + http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000A28780/ref=wms_ohs_product for the edges
[15:30] <rick_h_> you don't want to be picking up the pusher, you're just clearing to the sides, then clean up the sides with the snow shovel for tag team bliss
[15:31] <snap-l> I'll pick it up next week when the Paypal account replenishes.
[15:32] <snap-l> I have a nice fiberglass shovel that has a nice scoop on it, but I think the pusher would compliment it
[15:33] <snap-l> Wonder if Meijer carries them. They're workng on clearing out their winter stuff.
[15:33] <snap-l> Hmm.
[15:35] <brousch> You guys crack me up
[16:35] <snap-l> https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-bG60dYOnyDI/URUodoSP4yI/AAAAAAAATds/-_3og_UeiwY/s630/YpENU35978.jpg
[16:36] <brousch> snap-l: Those are obviously foreign plates. I call shenanigans
[16:36] <snap-l> Yeah,
[18:24] <rick_h_> damn wind is making me grumpy. I already shoveled that area a second time dammit
[18:26]  * greg-g is totally jealous
[18:26] <greg-g> plz don't share pics
[18:27] <brousch> Hush
[18:27] <brousch> I got home at lunch to a 2.5ft tall and 5ft deep wall of snow blocking my driveway
[18:27] <greg-g> AWESOME
[18:27] <brousch> SUCKY
[18:27] <jjesse> yay for snow plows?
[18:28] <brousch> I was hoping they'd hold off
[18:28] <jjesse> had to stop at my folks house and you could tell the plow route
[18:29] <jjesse> cause the streets that weren't plowed the entrance was buried under snow
[18:32] <rick_h_> bah, I want to get a coffee but don't want to head out in the wife's car.
[18:43] <shakes808> :D
[18:43] <snap-l> rick_h_: This is why God invented Keurig. ;)
[18:43] <shakes808> http://www.bash.org/?111338
[18:44] <snap-l> shakes808: I'd like my 15 seconds back
[18:44] <brousch> rick_h_: Hook the dog up and put on some skis
[18:45] <snap-l> rick_h_: Um, I'm seeing the Bookie favicon replaced with AT&Ts
[18:45] <shakes808> snap-l: No refunds sorry
[18:46] <snap-l> (in Chrome)
[18:46] <greg-g> snap-l: are you on att?
[18:46] <snap-l> wide open west
[18:46] <greg-g> I get that when our net connection flickers and the router repalces every request with a "your net is down, so sorry" with att favicon
[18:47] <snap-l> I'll be right upset if AT&T is in the mix since I have Wide Open West
[18:47] <greg-g> yeah :) not the issue then ;)
[18:48] <rick_h_> snap-l: open an incognito window and try again?
[18:48] <rick_h_> somehow confuse chrome? I'm not seeing it in any way
[18:48] <snap-l> rick_h_: Same
[18:48] <snap-l> Even with shift reload
[18:49] <rick_h_> snap-l: hmm, https://bmark.us/static/favicon.ico ?
[18:50] <rick_h_> and https://bmark.us/favicon.ico
[18:50] <snap-l> one sec. I took a screenshot
[18:50] <snap-l> https://www.dropbox.com/s/zxs5aido3ky38qf/Screenshot%20from%202013-02-08%2013%3A49%3A12.png
[18:50] <rick_h_> I believe you see it, but nothing here to do it. The ico is showing correct. The browser/network you're on are playing games with you
[18:51] <snap-l> Probably when I was browsing at B&N last night
[18:52] <snap-l> since they have that stupid redirect shit
[18:52] <rick_h_> ah, true
[18:52] <snap-l> That would explain it
[18:52] <rick_h_> and chrome will cache things to no end
[18:52] <snap-l> Gah, now I have to wait for that shit to expire.
[18:52] <snap-l> DAMN YOU CHROME
[18:52] <rick_h_> must be a setting somewhere to clear all that?
[18:53] <snap-l> Considering it's migrated from my laptop to my desktop, I'm not so sure. :)
[18:53] <rick_h_> speaking of bookie related things anyone care to upvote my reddit comment? http://www.reddit.com/r/javascript/comments/184y34/how_would_i_create_an_offlineusable_version_of/
[18:54] <rick_h_> I'm a sucker for begging for votes
[18:54] <snap-l> Seriously, my laptop was where I browsed on B&N network, but my desktop is where i'm seeing the icon change.
[18:54] <brousch> favicon works for me
[18:54] <snap-l> brousch: Yeah, it's just CHrome being stupid.
[18:54] <rick_h_> well, part B&N
[18:54] <rick_h_> :P
[18:54] <brousch> Just your Chrome
[18:54] <brousch> Maybe you got the ATT virus
[18:54] <snap-l> brousch: Please to go to said bookstore and click on your bookmark there before logging in
[18:56] <brousch> no
[18:56] <jrwren> i'm a sucker for upvoting for rick_h_ and jcastro
[18:58] <jcastro> WHO LIKES ATWOOD?
[18:58] <jcastro> http://www.jorgecastro.org/2013/02/08/playing-around-with-discourse/
[18:58] <jcastro> I DO.
[18:58] <snap-l> I hope it replaces the shit out of the Ubuntu FOrums
[18:59] <rick_h_> oh joy...let's scale rails to ubuntu forums
[18:59] <brousch> Convore is back, but this time it's rails?
[18:59] <snap-l> rick_h_: Two birds, one stone. ;)
