[00:14] <rick_h> cmaloney: dude!
[00:30] <cmaloney> Dude
[04:30] <greg-g> duuuuuude
[11:26] <cmaloney> Good morning
[11:54] <rick_h> morning
[11:57] <brousch> LAst day before vacation
[12:15] <cmaloney> W00t
[12:19] <cmaloney> http://i.imgur.com/cICD2e4.jpg
[12:31] <brousch> wtf
[12:32] <cmaloney> I think it was some WoW player doing bad things
[12:32] <cmaloney> I dunno. It's on Reddit under Geek Porn
[12:35] <brousch> Camping in Traverse City and then 3 days in Mackinac
[12:36] <rick_h> brousch: where you camping? We're thinking of doing a camping trip by mackinac island next year
[12:37] <brousch> Motel in Mackinac. I only camp under protest
[12:38] <rick_h> brousch: ah, gotcha. WHen you said camping in traverse city I figured it was a camping trip
[12:38] <brousch> A reasonable assumption
[12:39] <brousch> We might go to Soo Locks one of the days to see the frickin big ships
[12:39] <rick_h> very cool
[12:41] <jrwren> which hotel?
[12:42] <jrwren> well, if on island, which hotel? :)
[12:45] <brousch> off island
[12:48] <brousch> http://www.priceline.com/hotel/hotelOverviewGuide.do?propID=57379
[13:03] <cmaloney> Yeah, staying at the Mackinac hotel is pricey
[13:03] <cmaloney> We got to stay there off season for a SADD trip one time
[13:03] <cmaloney> it was nice
[13:04] <brousch> We got that for $270 for 3 nights
[13:08] <cmaloney> Per night?
[13:08] <cmaloney> Not bad.
[13:09] <brousch> No. total for 3 nights
[13:09] <brousch> So cheaper than the Blackwell
[13:24] <jrwren> at the grand hotel? that is an amazing price.
[13:25] <jrwren> I stayed at the Island House. I liked it.
[13:25] <jrwren> that was 9 yrs ago
[13:30] <brousch> No. $90/night for the Baymont in Mackinaw City.
[13:36] <jrwren> not bad at all
[13:36] <jrwren> when are you going up? what will the moon be like? The dark sky park is SWEET!!! but we had a near full moon there last week.
[13:37] <jrwren> even still, I could see the spiral arm of the milky way galaxy with my bare eyes. It was super cool neato.
[13:37] <brousch> We're going up Sunday to Wednesday. I hope to hit the dark sky park on Sunday
[13:37] <jrwren> we got super lucky with a clear sky
[13:38] <brousch> Oh lovely. 20-40% chance of rain every day
[13:38] <brousch> 80% on tuesday
[13:43] <rick_h> interesting http://nedbatchelder.com/blog/201307/hashtags_for_commands.html
[13:58] <jrwren> http://studentaffairs.gatech.edu/plugins/content/index.php?id=3
[13:59] <jrwren> i like that rick_h
[14:00] <rick_h> lmao at the video!
[14:02] <cmaloney> brousch: You'll have to let me know re: the dark sky park
[14:02] <cmaloney> JoDee found out about it, and that may be the push she needs to get a case for her scope.
[14:22] <brousch> cmaloney: It sounds like jrwren has already been there
[14:25] <jrwren> yes, its great.
[14:26] <jrwren> although, honestly I'll bet there are places in the UP which have less light
[14:31] <brousch> But then you have to drive twice as far
[14:32] <jrwren> righg
[14:32] <jrwren> right

[16:56] <greg-g> damnit where is "sn<tab>"?!
[16:57] <greg-g> I need to retrain muscle memory!
[16:57] <cmaloney> Playing a "Decapitated" mix
[16:58] <cmaloney> Oh, this is good
[16:59] <cmaloney> Let's see how it does with something a little different
[17:00] <cmaloney> Told it to do a Neurotech mix, it picked up Silent Descent, Skew, Mortis, Risha and The Armed
[17:01] <cmaloney> Respectable selections
[17:08] <cmaloney> I have never heard of The Echo Nest before, but apparently they use Python and Java and want people in MA
[17:08] <greg-g> what is this?
[17:09] <cmaloney> The first part is a plugin for the Squeezebox that does "smart mixes"
[17:09] <greg-g> oh, squeezebox
[17:09] <cmaloney> the back-end they use is based on The Echo Nest
[17:09] <cmaloney> so I pick something like "Artists like Neurotech" and it populates a shuffle list accordingly
[17:09] <cmaloney> and it's pretty complete
[17:10] <cmaloney> I'm getting CC artists mixed in with more notable artists
[17:10] <cmaloney> Put another way: the "The Armed" suggestion was the most "out there" of the above
[17:11] <cmaloney> It's like realizing that you've had something that does something that you've wanted for a long time hidden in plain sight
[17:12] <cmaloney> and all it took was a server update for me to look at the forum to see this post: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?99452-Logitech-Media-Server-7-7-3-released&p=754955#post754955
[17:12] <cmaloney> and then follow his plugins link to find Smart Mix
[17:12] <cmaloney> etc.
[17:12] <brousch> cmaloney: Are you crying?
[17:13] <cmaloney> brousch: I'm relieved I don't have to sign up for Spotify
[17:41] <cmaloney> Looks like the Ubuntu Edge didn't meet the funding goal. Only hit 40%
[17:41] <greg-g> is today d-day?
[17:41] <greg-g> oh sad
[17:41] <cmaloney> It's already at "we didn't meet"...
[17:41] <greg-g> I was hoping for a hail mary
[17:42] <cmaloney> Yeah, that wasn't coming
[17:43] <cmaloney> though I get the feeling from the reliative quiet passing of the end goal that something else may be in the works
[17:44] <cmaloney> I'm not sensing the usual bravado and swagger that we usually get even in the face of defeat
[17:44] <greg-g> hahaha, Mark? Swagger? NEVER
[17:44] <jrwren> Sibler started day by tweeting TY.
[17:45] <cmaloney> jrwren: Expected
[17:45] <cmaloney> But the Ubuntu Planet has been pretty quiet
[17:45] <jrwren> i don't think anyone really cares.
[17:45] <cmaloney> I'm not seeing the usual damage control. :)
[17:46] <jrwren> there would have to be damange
[17:46] <cmaloney> Maybe that's the way to look at it
[17:46] <greg-g> this is the UBUNTU COMMUNITY, there is ALWAYS damage
[17:47] <cmaloney> I really need to stop eating dark fruit in my cube
[17:48] <cmaloney> raisins / dried cranberries do not show up on this carpet
[17:48] <jrwren> lol
[17:48] <rick_h> I like that it's not "I need to stop dropping food on this floor" it's "Damn...wrong color"
[17:48] <cmaloney> rick_h: I'm the guy that whips the cart because it isn't moving. ;)
[17:49] <greg-g> isn't that a feature not a bug? sure, you can't find them, but they also don't stain!
[17:49] <greg-g> (noticeably)
[17:49] <cmaloney> It's just a given that I'm not going to stop dropping food
[17:49] <cmaloney> greg-g: That would be true save for two fatal flaws
[17:49] <rick_h> 'keeping cleaners employeed since the day I started...'
[17:50] <cmaloney> 1) Raisins / Cranberries are sticky
[17:50] <cmaloney> 2) I can't abide sticky things
[17:50] <cmaloney> That's one of those texture things that drive me insane
[17:51] <rick_h> for the record, high five on the use of 'abide'. We don't use that enough any more.
[17:51] <cmaloney> tape: fine. tape residue: I will scrape to the bone to get rid of it
[17:51] <rick_h> Whenever I listen to audio books I can always tell if it's going to be good if someone uses 'abide'.
[17:51] <greg-g> this is unrelated to the floor issue, and should have been a feature killer previously. I'm confused.
[17:51] <cmaloney> rick_h: The dude abides. :)
[17:52] <cmaloney> greg-g: Well, I also like dried fruit
[17:52] <cmaloney> trying to get more fruit into the pie-hole
[17:53] <cmaloney> and usually raisins / cranberries aren't sticky out of the package (well, raisins are, but I can usually clump them enough into the palm of my hand)
[17:53] <brousch> Hm. My wife's Pandora addiction will push us into Ting's XXL data plan
[17:53] <cmaloney> brousch: wow
[17:53] <cmaloney> You and Waldo323 should go bowling
[17:53] <brousch> 8 hours/day 5 days/wk
[17:54] <brousch> Why?
[17:54] <cmaloney> Doesn't she have access to wifi?
[17:54] <cmaloney> He used over 4GB of data on his phone
[17:54] <brousch> Not at work
[17:54] <jrwren> first time using git format-path and apply  :)
[17:55] <jrwren> *format-patch
[17:55] <brousch> But even with that usage, we'll save $50 over Verizon
[17:55] <cmaloney> cool
[17:55] <cmaloney> AS long as you're saving
[17:55] <jrwren> yay ATT Grandfather unlimited plan
[17:56] <brousch> Sprint has better service at her work than Verizon, too
[17:56] <cmaloney> That's cool
[17:57] <brousch> With some work, I should be able to switch her to Google Music Radio, which will use some cached music
[18:44] <jrwren> any pythonists ever use http://testrun.org/tox/latest/ ?
[18:49] <rick_h> jrwren: tox ftw
[18:49] <rick_h> http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/scenarios/ci/
[18:52] <jrwren> thanks
[18:53] <jrwren> OMG, where was this 1 yr ago??? http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/
[18:53] <rick_h> right there?
[18:53] <rick_h> ever expanding, but been around a while
[18:54] <jrwren> wow.
[18:54] <jrwren> fail
[19:32] <cmaloney> Apparently I wasn't looking hard enough: http://www.jonobacon.org/2013/08/22/onwards-and-upwards-2/
[20:16] <jrwren> OMG I'm so sick of debian b.s.   http://blog.cmpxchg8b.com/2013/08/security-debianisms.html
[20:26] <brousch> rick_h: I still don't test my crap. I have a week of vacation that I'd like to spend learning Python testing, with an emphasis on Pyramid. Are the Pyramid docs the best place to start, or something else?
[22:29] <cmaloney> Hello there
[23:18] <rick_h> jcastro: ok, how do I hook this fitbit up to my phone? It's not showing up under bluetooth discovery
[23:22] <rick_h> and freaking gateway timeout connecting to their website
[23:24] <rick_h> lovely out of the box experience. no docs at all, just a url that only moves forward after downloading software for either windows/apple.
[23:24] <rick_h> and a login page that times out
[23:28] <cmaloney> rick_h: You must be new here. :)
[23:29] <cmaloney> rick_h: This is part of the reason I've stayed away from these monitoring devices
[23:41] <rick_h> oh, now you tell me: We’ll be back soon!
[23:41] <rick_h> Fitbit.com is currently undergoing a little planned maintenance. Sorry for the inconvenience.
[23:55] <cmaloney> he
[23:55] <cmaloney> h
[23:59] <rick_h> jcastro: man, I'm not seeing any way to set this thing up without the windows/apple software?
