[01:06] <jrwren> my custom sata to esata doesn't work :(
[01:07] <jrwren> i'll have to get out the caliper and take some measurements
[01:08] <brousch> I found out the esata on my synology is only for attaching an esata drive, not for attaching as a guest
[01:09] <jrwren> lol
[01:10] <brousch> Yeah, so I'm stuck with gigabit
[02:12] <snap-l> jrwren: A+ fkr effort
[02:15] <jrwren> ty
[02:15] <jrwren> i shall try again
[02:15] <jrwren> hopefully pins are just not aligned
[02:15] <jrwren> i did make it fit
[02:41] <jcastro> rick_h_: ping
[02:41] <jcastro> around?
[03:14] <snap-l> btw: Release party at Penguicon tomorrow
[05:05] <rick_h_> jcastro: not really around heh
[11:37] <rick_h_> morning
[12:45] <snap-l> Good morning, fellow Earth-travelers.
[12:45] <rick_h_> party
[12:47] <snap-l> Just found out Google Contacts has a drop-down for Google Voice numbers
[12:47] <rick_h_> cool
[12:48] <snap-l> Yeah, makes it a liittle nicer not to have to think: OK, which is the GV number, and which is the ...
[12:48] <rick_h_> yea
[14:24] <flipsidecreation> I have been using btsync for a few days now, works really well
[14:24] <rick_h_> very cool
[14:25] <flipsidecreation> started a subreddit for people to post publicly http://www.reddit.com/r/btsecrets/
[14:28] <snap-l> http://www.sjgames.com/img/newsq/illq/2013/OgreGarageFilledSponsor--800x600.jpg
[14:28] <snap-l> That is a lot of cardboard.
[14:29] <brousch> What is that?
[14:29] <rick_h_> umm, interesting
[14:29] <snap-l> OGRE board game that I backed on Kickstarter
[14:31] <snap-l> http://www.boardgamegeek.com/blog/1648/ogre-how-a-giant-cybernetic-tank-changed-my-life
[14:33] <brousch> snap-l: What's a good RPG for a 5 year old?
[14:33] <snap-l> I have just the thing
[14:33]  * brousch is afraid too look
[14:33] <snap-l> http://www.rpgnow.com/product/94507/Argyle-%26-Crew---Adventure-in-the-Land-of-Skcos
[14:34] <brousch> hm
[14:35] <snap-l> http://www.rpgnow.com/product/106605/Hero-Kids---Fantasy-RPG <- haven't read this one, but it appears to be well regarded
[14:35] <brousch> You read sock puppets?
[14:36] <snap-l> I read through it. It looked cute.
[14:36] <snap-l> http://www.rpgnow.com/product/92348/Do%3A-Pilgrims-of-the-Flying-Temple <- This one is pretty interesting as well
[14:36] <snap-l> Excellent artwork
[14:37] <snap-l> Might be a little over his head for now, but I think they have simplified rules for younger platers
[14:37] <snap-l> players, even.
[14:37] <snap-l> http://www.rpgnow.com/product/81529/Happy-Birthday%2C-Robot%21?manufacturers_id=2152
[14:37] <snap-l> Haven't read this one at all, so I have no idea how it plays
[14:39] <brousch> At his age it needs no math beyond finger counting and little reading
[14:41] <snap-l> http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2011/10/an-in-depth-review-of-do-pilgrims-of-the-flying-temple/
[14:41] <snap-l> What are his interests? Star Wars?
[14:42] <brousch> and Thomas
[14:43] <brousch> I modified the LEGO Minotaur game to make it more interesting, but he often got distracted and wanted to role play the characters. So I think and RPG might be fun for him
[14:44] <brousch> The Hero kids looks pretty good
[14:45] <snap-l> Yeah, that one could work
[14:46] <snap-l> You might want to check out Do as well
[14:46] <snap-l> I think you could adapt it for him
[14:46] <snap-l> the mechanic is pretty simple
[14:47] <snap-l> pull three stones from a bag
[14:47] <snap-l> It has a writing component, but you could have him dictate to you
[14:47] <brousch> He can write. It just takes a long time
[14:48] <snap-l> Does he handle sentences?
[14:49] <snap-l> I have the PDFs for Herokids if you want to peek at them.
[14:49] <snap-l> (before buying of course. :) )
[14:49] <snap-l> And Argyle and Crew is CC licensed.

[17:53] <Wolfger> upgrading to 12.10... is 13.04 released yet?
[17:54] <brousch> yes
[17:54] <Wolfger> ok, so it must be a stepping stone process
[17:55] <brousch> 12.04 is the best
[17:55] <brousch> kubuntu
[18:03] <Wolfger> so far as I'm concerned, 7.04 was the best
[18:03] <Wolfger> but you have to "advance" some time
[18:03] <greg-g> 7.04... was that fiesty?
[18:04] <greg-g> hellz yeah!
[18:04] <greg-g> look who has a memory!
[18:04] <jrwren> skipped from b to f, right?
[18:05] <Wolfger> greg-g: you're still here? I thought you quit Ubuntu as well as Michigan ;-)
[18:06] <Wolfger> you should come to the #pcon again
[18:06] <greg-g> Wolfger: heh, my heart will always be in #ubuntu-michigan, I mean #ubuntu-us-mi
[18:06] <greg-g> Wolfger: wish I could
