[11:45] <rick_h_> morning
[11:58] <monkeyjuice> morning
[11:59] <brousch> yes
[12:00] <snap-l> Good morning
[12:00] <snap-l> (Going out on a limb here. :) )
[12:00] <rick_h_> it's not yesterday so we'll go with 'good' for now
[12:10] <brousch> rick_h_: Why are you such a grumpy pants?
[12:10] <rick_h_> because work sucks :P
[12:10] <rick_h_> and yesterday sucked, I'm still recovering
[12:11] <rick_h_> and I find grumpy is generally a good place to start out. Day can get better then heh
[12:11] <rick_h_> see, I just remembered it's a CHC day. Already looking up!
[12:46] <UnFixed> Just activated my phone on ting last night. In case anyone was interested. Signal at home is pretty good.
[13:03] <snap-l> UnFixed: Awesome! glad to hear it!
[13:03] <snap-l> I'm trying to justify getting an airrave. ;)
[13:04] <snap-l> But $279 to fix Sprint's lack of coverage is a bit steep
[13:10] <snap-l> I lvoe trying to figure out MySQL's broken-ass syntax
[13:11] <snap-l> You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near
[13:11] <snap-l> (something that should work)
[13:13] <rick_h_> heh
[13:13] <UnFixed> considering getting the home phone connect 2, since i got rid of my landline.
[13:14] <UnFixed> and it would just share minutes with my cellphone.
[13:14] <snap-l> Yeah, if it works for you, I'd go for it
[13:17] <snap-l> OK, MySQL needs to find a fire and promptly die in it
[13:17] <snap-l> Want to know what my problem was?
[13:18] <snap-l> one of the columns is named "desc"
[13:18] <snap-l> guess what MySQL will treat as a command, no matter where it's located?
[13:18] <snap-l> http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=50883
[13:57] <snap-l> brousch: BTW: Picked up Sins of a Solar Empire Trinity from Stardock on DVD
[13:57] <snap-l> Plays nicely under Crossover 12
[13:58] <snap-l> Played a bit of the tutorial before bed. Damn, this is a deep game
[13:59] <brousch> snap-l: http://clusterbleep.net/blog/2012/07/17/running-stardocks-sins-of-a-solar-empire-rebellion-on-linux/
[14:01] <snap-l> Yeah, I had a license for Crossover, and decided when I was making an order on Amazon to pull the trigger on the older version just to see if it worked.
[14:06] <brousch> I keep asking my sister when they are going to make games for Linux now that Steam is on it
[14:07] <brousch> apparently they make more money from their Windows8 apps than from games
[14:07] <snap-l> yeah, I can imagine
[14:07] <snap-l> They're not exactly AAA twitch-fests
[14:08] <snap-l> You're not going to hand Solar Empires to someone with a half-hour to kill
[14:09] <rick_h_> lmao https://twitter.com/TheLazyDog_/status/319427516345503744/photo/1
[14:09] <snap-l> hahahahahaha
[14:09] <rick_h_> I mean the card is funny, but the comment about it is equally funny.
[14:09] <rick_h_> see, day is looking up :)
[14:13] <rick_h_> and I remembered headphones to the coffee shop "I am the greatest man that ever lived...I was born to give and give..."
[14:15] <snap-l> heh. :)
[14:47] <brousch> Cleaning out some old stuff when I came across this https://dl.dropbox.com/u/101667/ricks_new_profile_pic.jpg
[14:51] <rick_h_> ruh roh
[15:14] <snap-l> Is there some run on Star Wars VHS tapes that I'm not aware of?
[15:14] <snap-l> I literally sold two of them in the past 30 days.
[15:16] <widox> wait, someone is buying VHS tapes?
[15:18] <rick_h_> heh yea, not been able to play a VHS tape in something approaching 10yrs
[15:21] <brousch> snap-l: Lucas is trying to buy them all up to destroy so there will be only the revised versions of Star Wars
[15:22] <snap-l> brousch: That's the most salient response I can come up with
[16:13] <jcastro> greg-g: what's your WMF email contact info? (PM me)
[16:54] <rick_h_> <3 BSOD jokes on the daily show from last night.
[16:59] <snap-l> http://decafbad.net/2013/04/01/open-metalcast-puts-full-support-behind-new-riaa-certified-creative-commons-license/#comments
[18:07] <greg-g> jcastro: greg@wikimedia.org
[18:07] <greg-g> hello from the juror's room, btw
[18:11] <snap-l> greg-g: Going through selection?
[18:50] <snap-l> http://imgur.com/a/UWU9X
[20:02] <greg-g> snap-l: didn't get called (didn't even get to selection part) :(
[20:11] <snap-l> greg-g: Sorry to hear that.
[20:11] <greg-g> I even get 5 paid days off for jury duty each year!
[20:12] <snap-l> greg-g: that's pretty enlightened
[20:12] <greg-g> yeah, the WMF is
[20:13] <snap-l> When I went for Jury Duty one year, I was contracting, so it was like getting a pay cut for the day
[20:13] <snap-l> and had the fun of declaring it on my taxes too
[20:13] <snap-l> It's like unemployment without the fucking around all day.
[20:13] <snap-l> or the self loathing. :)
[20:20] <greg-g> heh
[20:21] <greg-g> yeah, the funny part was when they said that you can get $2.50 flat mileage plus $15.00/per day, unless you're a govt employee, you only get the $2.50
[20:21] <greg-g> well, there were a lot of funny parts, that was one of them
