brouschold laptop00:00
brouschI don't see a practical use for that thing00:01
jrwren$45 beagle bone black runs full ubuntu00:52
jrwrenonly $10 more than rpi typeb00:52
brouschhehe http://www.frompythonimportpodcast.com/2013/07/30/not-quite-dead-yet12:15
snap-lYeah, Mike was mentioning he wanted to get the podcast back underway12:27
brouschI bugged him about it Friday night when we were hanging out in the lounge12:31
rick_hyea, he tried to get some bits going but doesn't have permission to the server he had hoped12:32
rick_hjrwren: what's the 'irrational dislike' thing? It comes across as part joke part confusion12:39
snap-ljrwren: I have a 12 step program for overcoming irrational dislike12:40
snap-l1: Watch Fox news12:40
snap-l2: Dremel out your prefrontal cortex12:41
snap-l3-12: ...12:42
snap-lCongratulations! You have overcome your fear of irrational dislike.12:43
* snap-l is going to try the DEF CON Radio Music for Hacking channel on Soma.fm12:44
snap-lAlso: I like big banks and I cannot lie12:46
snap-lThose fees I can't deny12:46
rick_houch http://missingm.co/2013/07/identical-droplets-in-the-digitalocean-regenerate-your-ubuntu-ssh-host-keys-now/12:50
rick_has D/O came up at pyohio12:51
snap-lNice.12:52
snap-lSounds like something that the good guys are just finding out about and the bad guys knew all along12:52
brouschDangit12:55
brouschWe moved the Grand Rapids Localwiki to DO a month or two ago12:56
rick_hupdate those keys!12:56
snap-lbrousch: Congratulations.12:56
snap-lThis is also awesome for shared hosting. :)12:56
snap-lAnd passing around virtualbox / vagrant images12:57
snap-lWonder if it also affects LXC containers.12:57
rick_hit was specific to the ubuntu images DO used12:58
snap-lRight, but I'm curious how many images are out there that don't regen keys12:58
snap-lie: on init regen fingerprint / server keys12:59
jrwrenirrational dislike... becasue... wel... i have no idea.12:59
jrwrenits confusion I suppose.12:59
snap-lseems a shortcut that some might not know they're taking12:59
jrwrensometimes i feel like my dislike of certain things is not rational. then i remember that it probably is rational and when it isn't shared by others its becuase htey are irrational or have vastly different experience than me.13:00
snap-ljrwren: I think part of it is folks don't know any better13:00
snap-lie: my dislike of Windows having come from Linux / Macintosh13:01
jrwrenit was actually quicken loans which inspired the two tweets. I just used other things which i also disliek13:01
snap-lIt's OK to dislike Quicken Loans13:02
snap-ltheir advertising really turned me off back in the day.13:02
jrwrenI think I need reminding that bad company can still do good things.13:02
brouschI have an immediate dislike of them because I have Quicken and Quickbooks13:02
snap-lIt's also like my dislike of Focus Hope and other "charitable orgs" in Detroit13:02
brouschI hate, not have13:02
snap-lThere's money to be made in prolonging the problem13:03
jrwrenquicken loans has zero affiliation with quicken software13:03
brouschBut it has the same name13:03
brouschIt's an example of an irrational dislike13:04
jrwrenyes, there is a stupid aquisition spinoff story around that.13:04
jrwrenso this is a nice story: http://keithelder.net/2013/07/29/meet-quicken-loans-intern-waleed-johnson-future-mayor-of-detroit/13:04
jrwrenand it reminds me that i like their approach to building everything themselves. they don't buy off hte shelf solutions.13:04
jrwrenadn I think that is cool, but htey are so koolaide oriented, and their sales team is more aggressive than any used car salesmen I've met.13:05
snap-ljrwren: Compuware is another one13:06
snap-lThey're building amazing things in Detroit13:06
snap-lbut their consulting arm and software leave a bit to be desired13:07
rick_hjrwren: meh, I say run with it. What's it matter in the end? You're a creature of your history and if you don't use quicken loans how is your life significantly changed?13:07
jrwrenits not.13:08
jrwrenI think you are right. it is all good.13:08
jrwrensome occasional self doubt is healthy. I'll move on.13:08
rick_hseems to me you're wasting more time/worry about having irriational feelings than it's worth13:08
jrwrenrick_h: right on. i'm moving on.13:08
snap-lHeh13:09
rick_hjrwren: all good, hate on, that's my motto :)13:09
jrwrenhaters gonna hate.13:09
jrwrendon't hate the hater, hate the hatee13:09
jrwrenon that note... anyone seen http://www.datomic.com/ ?13:09
jrwreni'm thinking it is snake oil :)13:09
rick_hhttp://www.datomic.com/uploads/3/5/9/7/3597326/6646785_orig.jpg scares me13:10
rick_h'so where did my query go bad?'13:10
jrwrena lot of things about it scare me.13:10
jrwrena trusted person told me it is awesome.13:10
rick_heverything is awesome for some use case I guess13:11
jrwreni read a bit, and I htink it is interesting, and see so many points where I would not do it that way :)13:11
jrwrengreat point.13:11
snap-lTheir overview reads like a requirements document that came from offshore13:11
snap-lWow this gets expensive quick.13:12
snap-lIs Datomic just for JVM languages?13:13
snap-lAt the moment, yes. We have ideas for how to enable Datomic on non-JVM languages while preserving as much of the embedded power as possible. Stay tuned for future developments.13:13
rick_hugh, chromecast is coming on the slow boat from china. Shipping notice two days ago, today UPS says it'll show up on monday.13:16
rick_hlaptops from china ship faster than this13:16
snap-lPatience grasshopper.13:17
snap-lThat's two days before you were previously promised.13:17
jrwrenyeah, I think datomic might be a great idea, but i wish it were open source ;)13:28
jrwreni'm watching this presentation for it, it is not bad.13:29
jrwrenhttp://oredev.org/2012/sessions/exploring-datomic-a-database-deconstructed13:29
jrwrensome of the design decisions I really like.13:29
rick_h:( http://blog.canonical.com/2013/07/30/ubuntu-forums-are-back-up-and-a-post-mortem/17:46

brouschWhat took you so long?17:47
rick_h?17:47
rick_hwhat took me what so long?17:47
greg-gwhere "you" == "Canonical"17:48
brouschRight17:48
rick_hhttp://www.indiegogo.com/projects/e-inkey-dynamic-keyboard17:59
rick_hhah! so e-ink > oled18:00
rick_hman, if it was 10less I'd be tempted for a travel keyboard18:00
brouschThat's kind of cool18:08
brouschBut you'd have to look at your keyboard to notice it18:08
brouschrick_h: Do you look at your keyboarD?18:08
rick_hbrousch: no, but what's that got to do with anything :P18:09
brouschWhat's the point of changing keys if you never see them?18:10
brouschWhat Ting device should I get? https://ting.com/devices/buy18:15
jrwreniphone18:15
snap-lbrousch: JoDee likes her Galaxy Nexus18:16
rick_hthe gnex is going long in the tooth though18:16
snap-lSeems to be a nice balance between good phone and OMG I paid how much?18:16
rick_hend of year I'm ditching mine. Will be tough to keep up on software for two more years18:16
greg-ggah! stupid apple keyboard design :(18:16
brouschgreg-g: You misspelled stupendous again18:17
snap-lHeh18:17
rick_heither the HTC One or GS4 if you're going to hold onto it for a while18:18
rick_hbut new phones coming out here in the fall :/18:18
rick_hwhich one will they let you get 4.3 on?18:19
* greg-g kicks brousch 18:19
brouschI assume Galaxy Nexus will get 4.318:19
rick_hI'm not sure how it gets out. It's not asop so you have to get carrier updates18:19
rick_hI won't get 4.3 on my galaxy nexus on verizon for months if at all18:20
rick_hnot sure how ting/galaxy fit together18:20
snap-lI'm not sure if JoDee's Galaxy Nexus is on 4.2 yet18:20
snap-lI haven't checked honestly18:20
rick_hugh, I did get 4.2 from verizon after about 6mo18:20
snap-lBut you're getting 4.1 at least18:20
brouschCan I run CyanogenMod on my Ting device?18:20
snap-lI don't see any reason why not18:21
snap-lhttps://help.ting.com/home18:22
snap-lSeems to be tolerated, if not approved18:22
snap-lhttps://help.ting.com/entries/25040602-Unlocking-the-HTC-one-GSM18:23
rick_hdoes the google phone come with ting radios?18:24
rick_hper that link ^^?18:24
snap-lI don't know18:24
snap-lMy assumption is because we haven't seen a Nexus 4 device it might not work.18:25
brouschS4 looks really nice18:25
snap-lhttps://help.ting.com/entries/23867307-Can-we-BYOD-a-Nexus-4-from-Google-Play-18:25
snap-lshort answer- not yet.18:25
rick_hjcastro: how's your phone thing working out?18:26
rick_hdidn't you go to ting's sister...I mean alternate on t-mobile and BYOD?18:26
snap-lbrousch: Re: best phone: if I were looking to buy a new phone I'd get the Galaxy Nexus for now and then resell it to get the new hotness when Fall arrives18:28
snap-lor buy one refurbed18:29
snap-lhttps://ting.com/devices/used18:29
snap-lI like my Galaxy SII Epic 4G Touch Championship Edition 2 Turbo Orta18:30
jcastrorick_h: mine is simplemobile18:30
jcastrorick_h: tldr; $90 a month total for jill and I18:30
rick_hjcastro: ah right. I was thinking simple but confused with the bank18:30
rick_hBYOD and happy camper?18:30
jcastrofor sure18:32
jcastro$299 BYO Nexus18:32
jcastroyou don't even need the spreadsheet to figure it out18:32
jcastrohowever I switched before tmo's new BYOD flat plans18:33
jcastroand their new "$10 a month extra upgrade to any phone twice." thing18:33
jcastrowhich looks like a good deal18:33
snap-lYeah, my only complaint about Ting is Sprint has a dead zone that is essentially my house18:35
snap-lAT&T, TMobile also had problems there18:35
* rick_h wonders if any nexus devices support that t-mobile wifi calling stuff. 18:35
rick_hget around some of that at home18:36
snap-lIf I face east while performing a downward dog scissor maneuver< i think I can get one extra bar of reception18:36
snap-lI've seriously considered getting an Airave, but that's $250 to work around Sprint's problem18:37
rick_hyea18:37
rick_hlooks like there's apps to use with Google voice to be able to do wifi calling. might work on ting/sprint as well? https://support.t-mobile.com/thread/41526?start=0&tstart=018:37
rick_hif you use your google voice as primary phone #18:37
brouschahahahah, Ting can import my last 3 verizon bills into their calculator. Verizon has to love that18:37
brouschI will only save $82/mo with Ting18:38
snap-lrick_h: Hm, that's an option18:38
jrwrensaving $82/mo is a lot!18:39
snap-lbrousch: Only? :)18:39
brousch</sarcasm>18:40
jcastrothat's 3.2 new nexuses you could buy a year18:40
brouschBuying 2 gnex's it comes out to about $600/yr18:40
jcastroor one awesome ubuntu edge pledge!18:40
snap-lSo four bills and you'll almost have paid for the Nexus18:41
brouschYeah. I don't see how I could not do this18:42
snap-lPlus you could get a referral code for $25 off your first device18:42
jcastroyou don't even need to buy a new nexus a year18:42
jcastrobecause they backport new android to the previous model too18:42
jcastroso even if you go "every other nexus", which is what Jill and I do, you save the money18:43
snap-lhttps://z6oc11q87.ting.com/18:43
snap-lAnd if it doesn't work ouot, you can cancel at any time18:44
brouschWell my wife needs a phone too, so the other Nexus would be hers18:45
snap-lYep18:45
snap-lJoDee, her dad, and I are on the same plan18:45
snap-laverages $50 a month18:45
snap-lthat said, I was also having lovely connectivity issues down in Ohio18:46
snap-l4G would start up, and then crap out18:46
snap-lI believe this is because Ohio hates me18:46
snap-lEven though I have shown it nothing but love18:46
snap-lWell, most of the time18:47
brouschI had fun in my hotel room, but mostly with wireless18:47
snap-lI did besmirch their stupid Buckeye mascott18:47
brouschI was at the nd of the hall, then turn left and at the end of the little hall18:47
brouschI had no wifi by the window, but if I sat by the door I had 3 bars18:47
snap-lYeah, that hotel had strange wifi18:48
snap-lMade browsing in the can a real pain18:48
snap-l(TMI)18:48
brouschHm. No SD card on the gnex18:50
rick_hno sdcard on nexus anything from what I recall18:51
snap-lNo SD card on any Nexus AFAIK18:51
brouschbarbaric!18:52
brouschI'll probably go with the S418:52
brouschgnex for the wife18:52
snap-l++18:54
brouschsnap-l: What's your referal code?18:55
snap-lhttps://z6oc11q87.ting.com/18:55
* snap-l should make a bitly short link for that. :)18:56
rick_hit'll be just as long :P18:56
snap-lYeah, but then I could call it "TingCraig" or something18:56
snap-lSomeTingForCraig18:57
brouschI used yours instead of Linux Action Show's19:00
brouschI ended up getting the SIII19:07
snap-lI really appreciate it19:11
snap-lThanks!19:11
snap-lhttps://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9058804/writers%20block.jpg19:23
