| MutantTurkey | my Galaxy S III just kicked it yesterday | 14:36 |
| MutantTurkey | whats the latest and greatest? jedijf any ideas? | 14:36 |
| MutantTurkey | still have my totally working Galaxy S Captivate... but the SIM card doesn't work | 14:37 |
| ChinnoDog | S4? | 14:37 |
| ChinnoDog | The girlfriend has an S4. I'm envious. | 14:38 |
| MutantTurkey | yeah... but after how poorly the S3 held up | 14:38 |
| MutantTurkey | I mean did Gorilla Glass take a giant drop in quality? | 14:38 |
| MutantTurkey | I was actually testing out my original galaxy, hitting it on concrete and stuff | 14:38 |
| MutantTurkey | and nothing happened | 14:38 |
| MutantTurkey | so... | 14:38 |
| MutantTurkey | this s3 is a POS! | 14:39 |
| ChinnoDog | My S3 seems sturdy to me. | 14:44 |
| ChinnoDog | MutantTurkey: stop breaking your phone | 14:45 |
| MutantTurkey | compared to my SI it is not | 14:47 |
| MutantTurkey | i mean the back is plastic... | 14:47 |
| MutantTurkey | the phone actually bends when you but torsion on it | 14:47 |
| ChinnoDog | It survives being in my pocket and has survived a couple concrete drops before I put a massive battery on it. It has barely a scratch. | 14:50 |
| waltman | MutantTurkey: Wait, you were *intentionally* hitting your phone on concrete just to see what happened? | 14:51 |
| ChinnoDog | MutantTurkey wants a phone made of adamantium. | 14:51 |
| waltman | Could Wolverine break a phone made of adamantium? | 14:54 |
| ChinnoDog | Uncertain. Have you seen the latest Wolverine movie? | 14:54 |
| waltman | No. | 15:00 |
| MutantTurkey | yes | 15:09 |
| MutantTurkey | my old phone | 15:09 |
| MutantTurkey | and nothing happened | 15:09 |
| MutantTurkey | no, i just want a phone that is decently strong, made out of not plastic, but something sturdy | 15:10 |
| MutantTurkey | aluminum maybe | 15:10 |
| MutantTurkey | with built in shocks inside of it, a screen that is not so thin it breaks (because gorilla glass should be able to stop it) | 15:10 |
| jedijf | MutantTurkey: i am liking the note | 15:12 |
| MutantTurkey | is it to large for you? | 15:12 |
| jedijf | no | 15:12 |
| jedijf | don't have - am liking/thinking/waiting for note3 at this point | 15:13 |
| jedijf | son-in-law has note3 and loves it | 15:13 |
| jedijf | note2 | 15:13 |
| MutantTurkey | hmmm | 15:14 |
| MutantTurkey | ok | 15:14 |
| jedijf | bigger is better if you want to /use/ it | 15:14 |
| jedijf | of just get a flip phone | 15:14 |
| jedijf | or | 15:14 |
| MutantTurkey | right | 15:19 |
| waltman | I still think think the Note is an absurdly big clown phone. | 15:35 |
| MutantTurkey | fits me | 15:36 |
| jedijf | it's really not that big | 15:36 |
| jedijf | my 10 inch tab is a clown phone | 15:37 |
| jedijf | but i wear the shoes to match, so it works | 15:37 |
| waltman | I was watching a podcast the other day where someone was wishing he could use the Nexus 7 as his phone. | 15:48 |
| jedijf | that was me | 15:49 |
| jedijf | been saying that for a little bit now | 15:50 |
| waltman | No, it was Leo Laporte on TWiT | 15:50 |
| * waltman admits to confusing the Galaxy S$n's with Nexus $n's. | 16:45 | |
| adom | MutantTurkey ChinnoDog: just saw the mention of the geeknic. that IS a far drive for ChinnoDog and myself, and there was only a couple days notice :/ | 17:19 |
| adom | i need to login here more often | 17:20 |
| JonathanD | adom: yeah, it was short notice :P | 17:20 |
| JonathanD | adom: it amounted to KyleYankan saying "hey wanna have a picnic" | 17:20 |
| JonathanD | and me saying "sure, lets call it a geeknic and invite everyone" | 17:20 |
| adom | haha i see | 17:20 |
| adom | fair enough | 17:20 |
| JonathanD | it rained | 17:20 |
| JonathanD | a lot | 17:20 |
| JonathanD | we'll do it again after fosscon. | 17:20 |
| adom | :( | 17:20 |
| JonathanD | adom: coming to fosscon? | 17:20 |
| adom | when is it? | 17:21 |
| JonathanD | Aug 10 | 17:21 |
| JonathanD | (quite soon) | 17:21 |
| KyleYankan | Hah, sorry adom. It was like a 36 hour notice for most people. If that. | 17:24 |
| adom | is the fosscon up in PA? | 17:26 |
| JonathanD | adom: Philadelphia | 17:27 |
| adom | KyleYankan: no worries, like ChinnoDog, i probably couldnt have made the drive anyway | 17:27 |
| MutantTurkey | nothing is more beautiful than this: | 17:27 |
| MutantTurkey | Records: 6784715 Deleted: 0 Skipped: 0 Warnings: 0 | 17:27 |
| adom | wow lucky | 17:27 |
| adom | JonathanD: its enticing. at first i was worried about the drive but i see its about 3hrs from me. | 17:29 |
| adom | im still not going to say its likely, but im going to say its possible | 17:29 |
| adom | if ChinnoDog happens to go, maybe ill be more likely to go. we really should meet finally, since we now live like, 40 minutes apart from each other. >.< | 17:30 |
| MutantTurkey | tfmaybe I should get an iPhone | 18:14 |
| MutantTurkey | i have been resisting so hard | 18:14 |
| adom | guys, remind me what irc command sends in-channel private messages? am i stupid? | 18:16 |
| pleia2 | /msg nickname hi | 18:17 |
| pleia2 | I assume that's what you mean | 18:17 |
| pleia2 | "in-channel" and "private messages" are two different things, but you seem to know how to send messages in channel :) | 18:18 |
| adom | for a second i thought there was a command that shows a private message only in the channel you choose, rather than a PM. | 18:18 |
| adom | alas, twas a theme setting of mine playing tricks on my eyes. | 18:18 |
| * adom blushes. | 18:18 | |
| pleia2 | where private messages show up depends on your client | 18:18 |
| pleia2 | (some people choose to have them show up inline in a channel) | 18:18 |
| adom | it was just that someone was mentioning me, so the hilight settings for my theme made that line look different in the channel and i thought [for some reason] that only i could see it | 18:19 |
| pleia2 | ah | 18:19 |
| * adom is dum. | 18:19 | |
| adom | man, if you ever forget how unforgiving IRC users are, just join a highly populated channel and ask a simple question. | 18:21 |
| === scottrigby_away is now known as scottrigby | ||
| adom | well, i got my answer so back to work :( | 18:22 |
| adom | ill try to login here more often | 18:22 |
| * adom waves. | 18:22 | |
| MutantTurkey | cya! | 18:24 |
| jedijf | adom: msg me | 18:25 |
| jedijf | :P | 18:25 |
| waltman | MutantTurkey: iphones are awesome! | 19:02 |
| waltman | And if you splurge for AppleCare, they'll replace it if you drop it, so you don't have to worry concrete! | 19:03 |
| ChinnoDog | How many times will they replace it? | 19:03 |
| waltman | An excellent question! | 19:04 |
| waltman | I don't know, because I've never gotten AppleCare on a phone | 19:04 |
| MutantTurkey | i wouldn't waste money on any extended things | 19:05 |
| MutantTurkey | they are easy money for most companies | 19:05 |
| teddy-dbear | leave it to a turkey to try to smash a phone | 19:05 |
| MutantTurkey | 'perpetually afraid of thanksgiving' | 19:05 |
| waltman | I think it's a good deal for the laptops because there are all sorts of things than can fail, and they're all expensive to fix. | 19:05 |
| JonathanD | I always had it on my laptops, where it included the tech coming out onsite to fix the thing. | 19:10 |
| JonathanD | This has been nice because you're back up in a day if something breaks. | 19:10 |
| waltman | It's really nice to be able to bring the box into the apple store and say "fix it!" | 19:11 |
| waltman | They replaced a faulty screen and battery in my macbook. | 19:13 |
| waltman | They also fixed up the mess I made of the bottom cover when I upgraded the ram to 8 gb. | 19:13 |
| KyleYankan | "Those screwriver scratches? Came like that" | 19:15 |
| ChinnoDog | hehe | 19:15 |
| MutantTurkey | "your easily worn off warranty sticker is broken? no sorry wecan't service that | 19:16 |
| MutantTurkey | your battery water indicator is purple even though it was kept in a watersafe container placed in a sealed vault for the entirety of its life, whilst next to a dehumidifier? sorry we can't service that. | 19:16 |
| KyleYankan | I recently dropped my phone in a puddle for ~10 min. Sticker is still white.... not sure if it's a trap.... | 19:17 |
| jedijf | MutantTurkey doens't need a warranty/guarantee he's opening a repair business | 19:22 |
| jedijf | repair my doesn't | 19:22 |
| waltman | It's REALLY difficult to take the bottom cover of a Macbook off and on without messing up the rubber coating on it. | 19:22 |
| waltman | Also getting the tiny screws all lined up properly is damn near impossible | 19:23 |
| jedijf | AppleCare sell Koolaid? | 19:24 |
| waltman | I'm sort of glad the newer models are designed to not be opened. It removes the temptation to do so :) | 19:24 |
| jedijf | hammer | 19:25 |
| pleia2 | my laptops don't tend to break | 19:26 |
| KyleYankan | pleia2: then you're not tinkering enough | 19:26 |
| waltman | It's more that parts of them break :) | 19:26 |
| waltman | Also I was taking this on the train every single day. | 19:26 |
| waltman | Nowdays it gets to stay home most days, and I just bring in the much lighter iPad. :) | 19:27 |
| pleia2 | my secret is not buying mac+applecare, but buying cheapo x86 laptops that last forever | 19:27 |
| pleia2 | my netbook has been all over the world with me, 4.5 years with no issues | 19:27 |
| * pleia2 toss in purse | 19:28 | |
| waltman | Do you have one of those Linux laptops that require a reboot every time you try to connect them to a projector? :) | 19:28 |
| pleia2 | nope, all mine work great with projectors | 19:28 |
| pleia2 | I loan mine to mac people who forget their dongles :) | 19:28 |
| waltman | Meanwhile I'm still trying to convince my boss I can do a presentation in Powerpoint on my Mac, and that I don't want/need a Surface :) | 19:30 |
| jedijf | pleia2: did you find your way home or are you still in the office? | 19:32 |
| pleia2 | jedijf: found my way home! | 19:32 |
| jedijf | :) | 19:32 |
| pleia2 | we didn't get home until 10PM or so and I was all *so tired* and mjoseph was like "you know I do this every day, right?" | 19:33 |
| jedijf | ha | 19:33 |
| waltman | pleia2: Wait, you have an office in SF and you work from home? | 19:33 |
| pleia2 | waltman: no, palo alto | 19:33 |
| waltman | Or is it way down in the valley? | 19:33 |
| waltman | aha | 19:34 |
| pleia2 | not my office, I'm badge for sunnyvale | 19:34 |
| waltman | PA's nice from what I remember. | 19:34 |
| pleia2 | badged | 19:34 |
| pleia2 | PA is very nice ($$$$) | 19:34 |
| waltman | pleia2: Tell them they need to bring back their RPN calculators :) | 19:34 |
| JonathanD | Title for this position: FTP Specialist | 19:34 |
| pleia2 | lol | 19:34 |
| JonathanD | Doing FTP full time doesn't sound very fund. | 19:34 |
| JonathanD | fun | 19:34 |
| JonathanD | how is that even a job? | 19:34 |
| jedijf | btw, isn't that Buffy's hometown? Where you are badged. | 19:34 |
| KyleYankan | JonathanD: We have one at QVC. | 19:35 |
| JonathanD | heh | 19:35 |
| pleia2 | jedijf: alas no, that's sunnydale | 19:35 |
| pleia2 | near LA | 19:35 |
| JonathanD | KyleYankan: is he/she being replaced...? | 19:35 |
| ChinnoDog | HP48 ftw | 19:35 |
| KyleYankan | JonathanD: I dont think so, but he does need to take some Vaca, dude it here waaay too much. He ahs no backup, so when a FTP job goes down, we're supposed to contact him. 24/7/365 | 19:35 |
| JonathanD | KyleYankan: and what does he/she do... upload and download things all day? | 19:35 |
| ChinnoDog | I run an HP48 emulator on my phone as my calculator. | 19:36 |
| waltman | I have an old HP 11C that's going on 30 years old and still works great. | 19:36 |
| JonathanD | KyleYankan: maybe his is more involved | 19:36 |
| JonathanD | this descript is just... funny | 19:36 |
| pleia2 | waltman: oh, and there are a couple sf offices but one is snapfish and another is sales or something (they don't let engineers in) | 19:39 |
| waltman | :( | 19:39 |
| waltman | that's a lot of offices | 19:39 |
| pleia2 | yeah, there are like a zillion | 19:39 |
| pleia2 | the one in sunnyvale is cool, old palm building that looks out over Moffett air field | 19:40 |
| pleia2 | not cool enough for me to actually go to it though | 19:40 |
| waltman | Do they at least have free lunch? | 19:41 |
| pleia2 | hah, no | 19:41 |
| pleia2 | yesterday I was like "oh, cafeteria, do I need money?" "yes" | 19:41 |
| waltman | How quaint! | 19:42 |
| waltman | Was it actually possible to pay with cash, or do you need to use paypal or nfc or suchlike? | 19:43 |
| pleia2 | can use cash | 19:43 |
| JonathanD | payapl? wouldn't it at least be google wallet? | 19:44 |
| waltman | At HP? | 19:44 |
| JonathanD | oh | 19:45 |
| waltman | Bitcoin! | 19:45 |
| JonathanD | nevermind :P | 19:45 |
| JonathanD | bitcoin! | 19:45 |
| waltman | pleia2: Did you realize this early enough that you could do some quick mining on your laptop on the way down? :) | 19:45 |
| pleia2 | lol | 19:46 |
| JonathanD | I don't think "quick mining" is a thing. | 19:46 |
| JonathanD | Certainly not on anything portable. | 19:46 |
| pleia2 | google's cafeterias don't take google wallet either, but that's because the food there is free ;) | 19:46 |
| pleia2 | they probably take it in their on site shop | 19:46 |
| waltman | Whose food is better -- HP's or Googles? | 19:46 |
| pleia2 | certainly more selection at Google, but I quite enjoyed my taco salad yesterday | 19:47 |
