[01:16] <rick_h_> evening
[01:49] <jrwren> what beach, brousch?
[12:02] <rick_h_> morning
[12:23] <rick_h_> nice http://marissamayr.tumblr.com/post/50902274591/im-delighted-to-announce-that-weve-reached-an
[12:23] <rick_h_> "We promise not to screw it up." is the nice part
[12:23] <rick_h_> right off the bat
[12:37] <brousch> How can they promise that?
[12:38] <brousch> That's like my kid promising he won't spill his drink
[12:39] <jcastro> shrug, she's a pretty smart person
[12:39] <jcastro> if anyone can unscrew yahoo it's her
[12:40] <jcastro> and the world needs competition for google for web services
[12:40] <brousch> Microsoft!
[12:40] <rick_h_> heh, that works in non-IE :P
[12:41] <rick_h_> I just find it amusing that a CEO is straight out "we hear you all, we won't screw it up" and ack's the voices out there.
[12:44] <jcastro> I am surprised they didn't launch a newsreader
[12:44] <jcastro> that's what I would have done
[12:44] <jcastro> "hello technically inclined people, I would like you to give me a shot."
[12:54] <jcastro> rick_h_: hah man this tweet
[12:54] <jcastro> "Those crying about Tumblr's acquisition by Yahoo may now learn to care that Tumblr has no "export your data" thing."
[13:00] <rick_h_> jcastro: heh, yea export ftw
[13:12] <snap-l> good morning
[13:16] <snap-l> Yahoo willlikely be very hands off on tumblr if the acquisition explicitly states as mjcb
[13:16] <snap-l> see: flickr
[13:16] <snap-l> otherwise, they are on a unique position to fuck it up
[13:38] <jrwren> Marissa is awesome. I don't think Yahoo will screw it up.
[13:39] <jrwren> wow it was a very quiet weekend in this channel.
[13:39] <jrwren> everyone enjoyed the spring weather?
[13:54] <jcastro> yeah
[13:54] <jcastro> it was awesome
[13:55] <jcastro> jrwren: we need to hang out more, seriously
[13:55] <jcastro> I have like no friends here
[13:56] <jrwren> jcastro: i don't have friends here either.
[13:57] <jrwren> the kid keeps me pretty busy, but I'm always game to grab a beer in the evening
[14:00] <jcastro> nod
[14:01] <jrwren> wednesday is that fanzoo event to which i keep inviting you.
[14:01] <jrwren> you game?
[14:01] <jcastro> fanzoo?
[14:01] <jrwren> a guy who runs a consulting company here in AA. really nice guy.
[14:01] <jrwren> http://www.fanzootechnology.com/blog/
[14:03] <jrwren> its basically just bring a project to work on and talk about
[14:03] <jrwren> but mostly its nerd sitting around bullshitting and giving each other shit about tech choices.
[14:04] <jrwren> like I laugh at all their Windows8 bullshit
[14:04] <jrwren> they laugh at all my mac bullshit.
[14:04] <jrwren> its generally a good time.
[14:04] <jrwren> last week this guy I know brought a friend and his friend had experience with Lightning MDB and we worked on a bug together. it was sweet.
[14:04] <jrwren> such a rare DB ot have experience with.
[14:04] <jrwren> that was awesome.
[14:05] <jrwren> err... last month, not last week.
[14:14] <snap-l> jcastro: You have friends in Michigan, they just don't know where you live. :)
[14:14] <snap-l> It's not like you're hours away from them by car.
[14:14] <jcastro> I am like 2 hours away from rick and kather
[14:15] <snap-l> Oh FFS
[14:15] <snap-l> I meant me. :)
[14:15] <snap-l> It's not like I lived in Belleville like a fucking hermit. :)
[14:15] <snap-l> We drove to Ann Arbor a bunch
[14:15] <snap-l> and ypsi to the library.
[14:17] <snap-l> Mageia sounds either like a disease, or the system next to Magrathea in HHG2G
[20:50] <snap-l> Afternoon
[20:52] <rick_h_> party
[21:04] <brousch> snap-l: Right side http://media.penguicon.org/index.php/Penguicon-2013/Official-2013-photos/pcon2013-bb9q4745
[21:04] <snap-l> Yes, yes, I know. Someone got me in a photo
[21:05] <snap-l> And apparently someone photobombed it as well.
[21:06] <brousch> I was looking for furries, but only found you
[22:14] <greg-g> man, Netflix uses Java AND rpms? how backwards can you get?
[22:27] <Blazeix> http://techblog.netflix.com/ is actually a pretty interesting feed
[22:28] <greg-g> yeah, just looked
[22:28] <Blazeix> they're part of that "cool ecosystem" of java things, like solr and jersey
[22:28]  * greg-g nods
[22:52] <jcastro> I don't care what it's written in, companies OSSing their infrastructure is ++
[22:52]  * greg-g 's joke wasn't funny then
[22:52] <jcastro> well, make fun of them for _that_
[22:52] <jcastro> heh
