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