[00:54] <_stink_> hah
[02:14] <snap-l> Picked up the DVDs of THe Lord of the Rings for $6 each
[02:14] <snap-l> over at B&N
[02:15] <snap-l> I was going to wait for the super-duper-extended-every-single-scrap-of-film edition, but frankly at $6 a pop, I couldn't care less about the rest. :)
[04:05] <rick_h_> evening wheee
[04:28] <snap-l> Evening
[12:52] <snap-l> Hello!
[12:52] <snap-l> This is bdayd, your Birthday Reminder Daemon.
[12:52] <snap-l> The following people have their birthday TODAY:
[12:52] <snap-l> Rick Harding (turns 5!)
[12:52] <snap-l> Happy Birthday, rick_h_ !!!
[13:09] <brousch> snap-l: You beat Google+ on the announcement (to me)
[13:09] <brousch> I'm ready to subscribe to the snap-l+ birthday reporting service
[13:22] <snap-l> bdayd
[13:23] <snap-l> http://snarfed.org/bday
[13:23] <snap-l> http://netmeister.org/apps/bday/ <- better link
[13:25] <brousch> You'll never make a living reporting birthdays if you just refer me to your competitors
[13:25] <snap-l> That's what I'm using. :)
[13:26] <snap-l> Yay, another kernel upgrade!
[13:27] <snap-l> security upgrade
[13:35] <snap-l> Ubuntu Touch Port-a-thon?
[13:35] <snap-l> really?
[13:36] <brousch> Whose ports are we touching?
[13:37] <snap-l> Which way to the portathon
[13:37] <snap-l> I need to take a code-dump
[13:37] <brousch> http://slashdot.org/story/13/02/21/2216221/microsoft-azure-overtakes-amazons-cloud-in-performance-test
[13:38] <snap-l> Apparently Microsoft has more unused computers than Amazon
[13:38] <snap-l> who knew?
[13:39] <snap-l> Maybe that's one of the reasons Microsoft wants Windows 8 adoption: because every Windows 8 machine has a little Azure micro-instance in it that will allow it to scale out Azure computing
[13:40] <snap-l> THat's why they have that impenetrable user interface! So nobody will suspect a thing
[13:40] <snap-l> Damn you Microsoft!
[13:40] <brousch> genius
[13:45] <snap-l> OK, this is getting out of hand
[13:45] <snap-l> There's now an Amazon Vinyl Delivery Service.
[13:47] <brousch> Finally
[14:20] <rick_h_> woot, the weather knows it best snow on my birthday so I can go play in it!
[14:27] <brousch> I thought you wanted to move to Portland to escape the snow
[14:39] <snap-l> Blazeix: I'm liking the Xonotic newbie tutorials.
[14:39] <snap-l> This is definitely proving that I don't know what the hell I'm doing when it comes to FPS. :)
[14:40] <snap-l> http://www.xonotic.org/2013/02/halogenes-newbie-corner-part-5-gameplay-tips/
[14:40] <rick_h_> brousch: no, escape the heat. Snow I'm fine with
[14:41] <brousch> ah
[14:41] <snap-l> brousch: Just remember: rick_h_ is strange. :)
[14:42] <brousch> Well there's a whole country made for him, just a bit north of here.
[14:43] <rick_h_> but portland has broadband :P
[14:43] <snap-l> So does Kansas
[14:43] <rick_h_> true...but back to the heat
[14:43] <rick_h_> and hicks
[14:44] <snap-l> As opposed to the hips.
[14:47] <rick_h_> ok, time to go find somewhere to go and play in the snow. Anyone want to meet up at Famous Dave's for lunch let me know :)
[14:48] <brousch> Don't you have work to do?
[14:48] <snap-l> rick_h_: Bah, too far. :)
[14:48] <snap-l> Though we had impromptu Lockharts last night.
[14:52] <brousch> So is Linus getting more crotchety with age, or did I just not see it before? http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1445369/focus=1445405
[14:53] <rick_h_> brousch: nope, birthday == holiday
[14:53] <rick_h_> brousch: don't work on your birthday, it's not good for you.
[14:54] <brousch> What kind of elementary school thing is that?
[14:54] <rick_h_> though maybe I'll find a coffee shop and hack on something fun after lunch
[14:55] <snap-l> brousch: I think you're just now noticing
[14:56] <snap-l> This is typical Linus. :)
[14:56] <snap-l> "This is fucking stupid, you should do this elsewhere", and then the conversation proceeds.
[14:57] <snap-l> It would figure today is the day I'm getting a bunch of packages
[14:57] <rick_h_> snap-l: heh, same here.
[14:58] <snap-l> I'll be surprised if I don't get a flaming bag of shit on the doorstop
[14:58] <rick_h_> guess it'll be later in the afternoon now, no sense hanging around for them
[15:09] <jjesse> rick_h_,  how long did you pebble take to ship?  or did your notification come after it arrived?  i just got the 48 hours to confirm your shipping address and i'm going to be gone next week
[15:09] <jjesse> and wondering if i should ship it to the hotel
[15:18] <snap-l> jjesse: Resist the temptation. :)
[15:18] <snap-l> Otherwise you'll have pebble-limbo
[15:20] <jjesse> yeah
[15:21] <jjesse> so this happened w/ my Nexus 7
[15:21] <jjesse> it arrived when i was on the road
[15:21] <snap-l> It'll be there when you get back
[15:22] <jjesse> well its shipping to the office so i don't know if the idiots I work w/ will hid it :)
[15:22] <snap-l> Why did you have it shipped there?
[15:22] <jjesse> because UPS/FedEx tends to not leave packages at my door if someone isn't home
[15:23] <snap-l> That sucks
[15:23] <jjesse> yeah it does hence the shipping of stuff to the office
[15:23] <snap-l> Mine tends to leave things without too much problem.
[17:37] <snap-l> I think I need to start up a renderfarm or something. This room is cold.
[17:37] <Blazeix> i've got this sweet websphere environment you can use
[17:37] <snap-l> Awesome. :)
[17:38] <snap-l> Or I could just start up flash
[18:20] <brousch> Oh wow "Ubuntu Touch relies on a stripped-down version of CyanogenMod 10.1 for its Linux kernel, and support for hardware including audio, video, graphics, and modems."
[18:30] <slestak> brousch: is that a good thing?
[18:37] <brousch> I don't see how it's bad
[18:38] <slestak> just wondered what your take was.  ive not had a phoen that could use cyanogenmod so wasnt sure
[19:15] <tony-smlr> brousch: do you have an artical that talks about ubuntu touch?  I want to talk about it on my show this week...
[19:34] <brousch> tony-smlr: I was quoting from this one http://liliputing.com/2013/02/canonical-offers-guide-for-porting-ubuntu-touch-to-run-on-most-android-devices.html
[19:55] <tony-smlr> brousch: thanks!
[20:34] <jrwren> where "most android" is galaxy nexus devices
[20:56] <snap-l> Well, fedex will be on my list in a few
[20:58] <snap-l> jcastro: http://www.rushisaband.com/blog/2013/02/19/3508/Rush-Clockwork-Angels-official-Summer-tour-date-announcement
[20:58] <snap-l> Van Andel Arena in beautiful brousch-ville
[21:00] <snap-l> Your current billing cycle ending in 4 days is at $39.00
[21:00] <snap-l> That's three phones

[21:44] <Blazeix> oh, and happy birthday rick_h_ !
