| brousch | yessir | 12:06 |
| rick_h_ | morning | 12:06 |
| jrwren | goodmornin! | 13:19 |
| waf | jrwren: do you know much about the srt/ao deal? does ao have an a2 office now? | 13:24 |
| rick_h_ | AO? | 13:25 |
| waf | atomic object | 13:25 |
| waf | www.srtsolutions.com | 13:25 |
| waf | proper link: http://www.srtsolutions.com/ | 13:25 |
| rick_h_ | wow, guess with diana going to netflix wonder if it was time to sell. I didn't realize AO was that big | 13:27 |
| jrwren | waf: i know nothing, but yes, teh srt AA office is now an AO office AFAIK | 13:30 |
| jrwren | rick_h_: SRT has really been struggling. they are down to 4 people. | 13:30 |
| rick_h_ | jrwren: oh, no way. Wow | 13:30 |
| jrwren | rick_h_: yes, 9 months ago they returned from codemash to find out they couldn't make payroll, hadn't had profit in nearly a year. | 13:31 |
| jrwren | so most poeple found ohter jobs. | 13:31 |
| jrwren | only 4 remain today. | 13:31 |
| jcastro | http://ubuntu-discourse.org/category/ubuntu-michigan | 13:31 |
| jcastro | cmaloney: ^^^^ | 13:31 |
| jrwren | they still owe wages to some people who didn't get paid long ago. | 13:32 |
| jcastro | I even made it maize and blue, to take one for the team | 13:32 |
| jrwren | its a bummer for sure. | 13:32 |
| jrwren | I think AO is basically buying those 4 devs, cuz they are good devs ;) | 13:32 |
| rick_h_ | jrwren: wow, I had no idea. Last I was down there they had expanded again, took over nearly the whole floor. | 13:36 |
| rick_h_ | when diane left I figured it was just a crazy thing to live in CA, work at netflix, etc. | 13:36 |
| brousch | AO is big and growing fast. They have filled their GR office and opened a Detroit office | 13:40 |
| rick_h_ | yea, I remember getting ping'd when they opened their detroit office | 13:40 |
| rick_h_ | I guess I knew they had a couple off offices, but I usually think small with consulting type places | 13:40 |
| brousch | Until 2 years ago it was pretty small. Easily doubled since then | 13:41 |
| jrwren | rick_h_: that was at least 3 years ago. :) | 13:42 |
| jrwren | Dianne leaving was really more for the huge oportunity. | 13:43 |
| rick_h_ | jrwren: yea, I just took it as that. I never heard of the SRT issues, but guess I've not been out there if forever | 13:43 |
| jrwren | i was super shocked and surprised when I found out. | 13:44 |
| cmaloney | I wonder if the small consulting businesses are all taking it in the teeth now that IBM and HP are doing the same gig | 14:09 |
| cmaloney | much like ISPs died when cable companies became ISPs | 14:09 |
| brousch | http://spin.atomicobject.com/2013/09/11/atomic-acquisition-srt-solutions/ | 14:18 |
| jrwren | afaik IBM and HP charge 2-4 times the rates and deliver poor quality | 14:26 |
| cmaloney | jrwren: I know, but they're known names | 14:30 |
| mathomastech | Anyone know how to get Empathy to connect with a Linq server? I keep reading online that both Pidgin and Empathy can connect to linq, but I can't find any instruction on how. I've already got pidgin set up. But wanted to try both and compare. | 15:23 |
| jrwren | don't you mean LINC server? | 15:40 |
| jrwren | linq is a C#/VB.net thing. Linc is the exchange on steroids thing. | 15:40 |
| mathomastech | Yes, typo :) | 15:42 |
| mathomastech | Found this bug report. Looks like there is a work around...that doesn't work | 15:42 |
| mathomastech | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/account-plugins/+bug/1070377 | 15:43 |
| greg-g | oh, stupid online accounts stuff | 16:08 |
| jcastro | jrwren: | 17:14 |
| jcastro | http://concentratemedia.com/features/nerdnite0253.aspx | 17:14 |
| rick_h_ | best preview ever! https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=hKNDml12Big | 19:17 |
| cmaloney | Love that editing | 19:44 |
| jrwren | jcastro: i've been meaning to go to one. | 19:52 |
| rick_h_ | well this is a good rain, geeze | 22:20 |
| greg-g | rain? what's that? | 22:39 |
| rick_h_ | heh, so lovely flooded road, traffic lights out, wtf I can't see anything drive down to CHC today | 23:11 |
| rick_h_ | and dammit people, when the light is out, pretend there's giant red stop signs on the intersection (morons) | 23:11 |
| brousch | eh? It's nice over here | 23:11 |
| greg-g | :) | 23:11 |
| jcastro | jill is stuck at work | 23:11 |
| jcastro | it's pretty bad over here | 23:11 |
| rick_h_ | well, no need to water the grass today...booo that it's lawn mower day and so they didn't come out | 23:13 |
| rick_h_ | ok, I'm a bit disappointed in ars http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/09/why-the-nsa-loves-googles-chromebook/ | 23:17 |
| brousch | what a crappy article | 23:20 |
| rick_h_ | isn't it? I mean, that's the type of real FUD crap writing I expect from much different places | 23:21 |
| greg-g | rick_h_: a little over the top, but the nuts and bolts are fairly accurate | 23:21 |
| greg-g | forged SSL certs? yeah, 90%+ likely | 23:21 |
| rick_h_ | greg-g: right, but it goes into "woo, 4g lte you can be tracked" like any cell phone, internet enabled tablet, etc | 23:22 |
| greg-g | right, a lot over the top :) | 23:22 |
| rick_h_ | lol | 23:22 |
| rick_h_ | guess I normally hold ars to a higher standard | 23:22 |
| greg-g | yeah, agree | 23:22 |
| rick_h_ | on another note, this seems possibly cool http://www.hellonomad.com/products/chargekey-micro-usb | 23:23 |
| rick_h_ | "Nov. 30th Ship date" :( | 23:23 |
