ColonelPanic001no one cares when I go out back and pee on the deck02:08
ColonelPanic001it's just a bunch of "omg you're drunk" and "that's indecent exposure"02:08
jjesseummm that's weird02:16
greg-gjjesse: I think you missed my message for context?03:26
greg-gI just got this email from Carrie: "Rowan just peed on the back deck, came inside to get a rag, and is now wiping it up."03:26
snap-lYeah, that's weird. :)03:26
snap-lGood morning12:24

snap-l"we do not make mistakes. we are google. beep beep beep"12:39
snap-l"It is impossible for us to charge you twice for the same app. boop beep boop"12:39

rick_h_I couldn't think of a good one off the top of my head :/13:37
rick_h_it was funnier in my head I know :P13:37
brouschYou could certainly kill it by masturbating13:37
snap-lBoot to Windows while masturbating, and be extra efficient.13:40
brouschWhich will finish first?13:42
snap-lDepends on the hardware13:42

ColonelPanic001it was wonderful14:54
ColonelPanic001what was the aforementioned pebble?14:54
rick_h_http://blog.mitechie.com/2013/02/13/pebble-first-impressions/14:54
snap-l_stink_: The only other channel you've joined on freenode is bookie14:54
brouschHe's also on proprietarynode14:56
jcastrorick_h_: The one downside is that when you do pull your phone out there’s a bunch of notifications to dismiss and you want to make sure you got them all.14:56
snap-lbrousch: Who gave you crack this morning?14:56
jcastronewer android has a "dismiss all" button in the pull down, it's basically awesome14:57
jcastrobtw14:57
brouschsnap-l: Biggby's14:57
ColonelPanic001oh, right, I remember this pebble thing. It looked like it could be neat14:57
snap-lbrousch: Ah. Got the double crack soy latte, eh?14:57
jcastrorick_h_: wait, if you have a galaxy nexus you should have that button14:58
brouschsnap-l: Decaf soy nutty buddy14:59
snap-lI wish there was a button on mailing lists for "please ignore this thread for the next two hours, because it's only going to generate a flamewar or "me too" noise"14:59
rick_h_jcastro: yea, hoping they can work on that14:59
snap-lwas re: Penguicon mail etiquette flamewar that is brewing.15:00
rick_h_jcastro: yea, I have the clear button, but it just says "3 texts" and I end up looking to make sure I saw them all15:00
brouschOh those are fun15:00
brouschDIAF bottom posters!15:01
rick_h_DITF top posters15:01
snap-lnow now, we all know the one true way to handle email responses15:01
snap-ldon't respond. ever. :)15:02
rick_h_straight to trash?15:02
rick_h_:P15:02
snap-lNow top posters and bottom posters can live in harmony.15:02
jcastrorick_h_: oh oh, I see what you mean15:03
jcastrorick_h_: the only thing I hate is the notification spam from apps for updates15:03
rick_h_jcastro: yea15:03
jcastrojust update, I don't care that 4 of my games are updated, don't mix that in with important messages, ffs15:03
rick_h_jcastro: and the clearing of the notification on tablet/phone15:03
rick_h_with tablet/phone/GVoice extension on my browser, and watch it's getting nuts to clear a text from the wife15:04
jcastroyeah15:04
jcastroI <3 the browser extensioin though, I do all my work from it15:04
jcastroI don't even dial numbers anymore, I type in there, pick up phone. Blam, instant rick, no numbers required.15:04
rick_h_yea, definitely15:05
rick_h_nice to text the wife with a real keyboard all day15:05
snap-lYeah, the browser extension is awesome.15:10
rick_h_now if firefox doesn't have one lmorchard can write it :P15:11
_stink_snap-l: yeah, chatspike15:43
_stink_it's exclusive and velvety15:43
snap-lThank you for being a G.H. Bass & Co. Rewards member! Your point total as of last Sunday is 69.16:03
snap-lI am upset they didn't add "duuuuudes" after that.16:03
rick_h_bummer dude16:19
snap-lI know. I consider it a missed opportunity.16:49
rick_h_I love tech: http://www.teslamotors.com/blog/most-peculiar-test-drive17:57
brouschhah18:03
snap-lYeah, that's a great teardown.18:07
snap-lScary they can gather that much data, but at least they surface it18:08
dzhothat's what some other friends were talking about OMG SCARY SURVEILLANCE18:08
dzhobut I pointed out that usually you don't give the car back to the manufacturer after a trip18:08
dzhoOnStar, however, freaks me out.18:09
snap-lThat and how much of that data is already collected by the car?18:09
dzhoI would hope quite a lot of it.18:09
dzhothis just in:  RMS refuses ride in Tesla car, claims proprietary source of control systems oppresses him.18:10
dzhonot that the entire transportation system isn't rife with proprietary software.18:10
dzhotrains, planes AND automobiles18:10
snap-lcheap shot. :)18:10
snap-lI think it's safe to say RMS can't travel anywhere outside of bicycle or walking that isn't goverend by proprietary software18:11
dzhoyup.18:11
dzhohis lines in the sand get drawn in . . . interesting ways.18:12
snap-lhttp://stallman.org/archives/2012-nov-feb.html#11_February_2013_(Urgent:_Boycott_Hersheys_and_Dagoba_chocolate)18:13
dzhosnap-l: was there a particular item you meant to link to?18:15
snap-lThat was just the latest in there18:15
snap-lthat site is the anti-Tufte.18:15
dzhoquite18:16
dzhoanyway, my identica account was subbed to his account, which forwards all those, iirc.18:16
snap-lAlthough Tufte's site is pretty busy for a design / information guy18:17
snap-lhttp://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/18:17
dzhoit's too wide18:19
dzhohaha, he sells graph paper18:21
rick_h_yea, the data was collected beause it was a media review and was disclosed as part of getting the test unit from what I understand18:22
rick_h_but I have to say I think it would be cool to get a statement like that from my car18:22
rick_h_thinking fitbit for my car18:22
snap-lYeah18:23
snap-l"I believe I'm getting 23.4 MPG, when my average is 27MPG. I've scheduled a tune-up"18:24
snap-l"Be a good boy and drive me to the shop next Thursday at 2pm"18:24
rick_h_I got thinking that this is how we'll get self driving cars though18:25
rick_h_if I had a system always checking me for over speed/etc driving I'd give up and just let the self driving do it. It'd be no fun18:25
rick_h_every time I floor it I get an insurance micro payment charge, over speed limit I'd get a speed ticket auto charged, etc18:26
snap-lYeah, at that point the damn car should just drive me to the destinatio18:26
snap-ln18:26
snap-lUbuntu 12.04.02 is released.20:12
brouschwoohoo!20:14
brouschIt should be the best Ubuntu evar!20:15
snap-lJust in time for a bunch of QT and flash updates.20:15
snap-lSeriously, I'd like to know who is bucking for most insecure company: Oracle or Adobe.20:15
brouschIt is a tight race. Which of them uses more Rails?20:17
snap-lhah, true20:19
brouschIt lives! http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920027072.do21:06
