| rick_h_ | I can't help but wonder if fedex knows something about the gov shutdown the rest of us don't. http://uploads.mitechie.com/fedex-notice.png | 11:35 |
|---|---|---|
| brousch | That is lovely | 11:45 |
| rick_h_ | although interesting. USPS stays open in shutdown so yay me. My three packages will still arrive | 11:46 |
| brousch | Today: Hickory Creek, Tabor Hill, Round Barn, Gravity Wine, Lemon Creek Winery, Contessa Wine Cellars, Fenn Valley | 11:52 |
| brousch | Can you see this? https://www.google.com/maps/ms?msid=207668633482943859281.0004e7ac2f87d0a86f705&msa=0&ll=42.263082,-85.869141&spn=1.335423,3.348083 | 11:55 |
| cmaloney | rick_h_: ruh roh | 11:59 |
| cmaloney | brousch: yeah, we can see it | 11:59 |
| brousch | That's quite a cluster in Baroda, MI | 12:01 |
| brousch | I think there's 1 or 2 more in there that are closed today | 12:01 |
| cmaloney | rick_h_: btw: did you post the lococast episode? :) | 12:49 |
| rick_h_ | cmaloney no :( uploading episode to s3 now | 12:50 |
| cmaloney | No worries. Was going to ask last week, but you were on vacay. | 12:51 |
| widox | rick_h_: they must have shipped it super-savings mode, via turtle | 12:51 |
| cmaloney | It's fed-ex shipping container direct | 12:51 |
| rick_h_ | widox: yea, ordered several things around the phone and most of them are 'smart post' meaning fedex/ups gets it into the state but hands it off to USPS for the last mile. | 12:51 |
| widox | did you buy an OtterBox case by chance? | 12:51 |
| rick_h_ | widox: why yes I did, although I've got a story about that | 12:51 |
| rick_h_ | I almost didn't and I'm quite cranky witht hem | 12:51 |
| cmaloney | Verizon? | 12:52 |
| cmaloney | or otterbox? | 12:52 |
| rick_h_ | but did get one for my wife's new droid mini | 12:52 |
| widox | heh, yeah they are based out of Fort Collins | 12:52 |
| rick_h_ | cmaloney: otterbox | 12:52 |
| cmaloney | Ah | 12:52 |
| cmaloney | So that slow-boat from China may be more on the mark | 12:52 |
| rick_h_ | http://www.otterbox.com/Commuter-Series-Case-for-Motorola-Moto-X/mot4-motox,default,pd.html?dwvar_mot4-motox_color=J1&start=2&cgid=motorola-motox-cases | 12:53 |
| rick_h_ | and notice that you can't buy a case | 12:53 |
| rick_h_ | though the phone's almost been out a month | 12:54 |
| cmaloney | Oh, you updated to the Moto X? | 12:54 |
| rick_h_ | and if you visit that url with your phone, it'll let you buy the case | 12:54 |
| rick_h_ | so...wtf | 12:54 |
| rick_h_ | and only two of their cases are even listed. | 12:54 |
| rick_h_ | cmaloney: yea | 12:54 |
| cmaloney | Cool | 12:54 |
| cmaloney | rick_h_: Something tells me the phone order wasn't supposed to go through | 12:55 |
| rick_h_ | cmaloney: yea, so I figured "well, I must have just back ordered it on accident" | 12:55 |
| rick_h_ | cmaloney: but then I got a shipping notice | 12:55 |
| cmaloney | Where was the return address? :) | 12:56 |
| rick_h_ | cmaloney: that didn't update beyond "received shipping data" for 4 days | 12:56 |
| rick_h_ | lol | 12:56 |
| widox | hah. that's funny | 12:56 |
| rick_h_ | so now I guess it's in fedex hands for the next 4 weeks | 12:56 |
| * rick_h_ shakes head | 12:57 | |
| cmaloney | Some poor guy in Shanghai is trying to figure out how to get rick_h_ his case | 12:57 |
| cmaloney | Waitaminute | 12:59 |
| cmaloney | I think I have the tracking video of your case now. | 13:00 |
| cmaloney | http://ur1.ca/fsk77 | 13:00 |
| * rick_h_ is afraid | 13:00 | |
| rick_h_ | I was thinking more http://footage.shutterstock.com/clip-4111666-stock-footage--s-stagecoaches-and-carriages-move-along-a-country-road-an-organ-grinder-entertains.html | 13:01 |
| cmaloney | http://footage.shutterstock.com/clip-3261961-stock-footage--s-transportation-montage.html | 13:02 |
| rick_h_ | http://r.bmark.us/u/f7044dfa7abd05 come on...just make my 28MBS bi-directional and I'll shush my whining | 13:02 |
| cmaloney | The dudes on the bicycles are a nice touch | 13:02 |
| cmaloney | I doubt if we'll see that gigabit network anytime soon | 13:03 |
| rick_h_ | yea, that's just austin to compete with Google fiber | 13:03 |
| rick_h_ | but forget gigabit, bi-directional 20s would be amazing | 13:04 |
| cmaloney | bi-directional anything would be nice | 13:04 |
| cmaloney | I'd be happy with 15/15 | 13:04 |
| jrwren | good morning | 13:04 |
| cmaloney | Only reason I'm 30/3 is because 3 is better than 1 | 13:04 |
| jrwren | <3 my 60/6 its fast enough that i don't often want for more | 13:05 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, the best I can do with WOW is 50/5 | 13:06 |
| rick_h_ | heh, they've added a new plan. I used to have the max but now they've got a "Power" over my "Max Turbo" plan | 13:07 |
| rick_h_ | lol, and they're all the best choice for all the tghings | 13:07 |
| cmaloney | rick_h_: Of course they are. :) | 13:07 |
| rick_h_ | ooh, new plan is 6mb up? | 13:08 |
| rick_h_ | nooooooo, I can't get it in my area. boooo | 13:11 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, some guy in your area uses all of the bandwidth uploading things and mirroring something called PyPI. :) | 13:12 |
| rick_h_ | I had to stop that. Some package broke my tool I used for it and not gotten around to setting up a new one | 13:13 |
| cmaloney | ugh | 13:13 |
| cmaloney | btw: new Open Metalcast is up in case you were wondering | 13:14 |
| jrwren | remember when comcast was sync instead of async? man that was fast :) | 13:15 |
| jrwren | and you could netbios browse all your neighbors windows 95 file shares? :) | 13:16 |
| rick_h_ | lol | 13:16 |
| rick_h_ | http://r.bmark.us/u/e12f43d7a15d0e is brilliant! | 13:38 |
| cmaloney | That's awesome. | 13:41 |
| rick_h_ | yea, makes complete sense. username == fingerprint, still need a password | 13:42 |
| jrwren | its true. | 13:42 |
| jrwren | how do you change your password after it is stolen? if your password is fingerprint, you can't :) | 13:42 |
| rick_h_ | just not normally presented in that way so it gets confusing | 13:42 |
| rick_h_ | yep, exactly | 13:42 |
| rick_h_ | you keep your username, change the password | 13:43 |
| jrwren | https://gist.github.com/jrwren/6778885 | 14:01 |
| ColonelPanic001 | heh | 14:06 |
| rick_h_ | jrwren: comment added | 14:07 |
| rick_h_ | actually my alias adds the 8000 port option | 14:08 |
| jrwren | i think i've seen the alias. hell, I probably have it. | 14:09 |
| rick_h_ | jrwren: but yea, I can never remember it right. It's too Java-y | 14:12 |
| jrwren | yup. one of those OLD modules | 14:12 |
| rick_h_ | http://usgovernment.statuspage.io/ :) | 15:23 |
| ColonelPanic001 | BEARS | 15:24 |
| cmaloney | Heh | 15:26 |
| widox | hah. "Department of Cigars of Cuban Origin" "Major Outage" | 15:32 |
| ColonelPanic001 | heh | 15:35 |
| jcastro | hey cmaloney | 15:46 |
| jcastro | do you need a topic for the next MUG meeting? | 15:46 |
| jcastro | I want to do one on this steam machine stuff | 15:46 |
| cmaloney | jcastro: Actually I think we've roped Mark Ramm to talk more about Juju | 15:49 |
| cmaloney | but yeah, I'd like to hear more about the Steam Machine | 15:50 |
| cmaloney | We could have you both talk. :) | 15:50 |
| jcastro | sure! | 15:50 |
| jcastro | I can help Mark with the Juju one | 15:51 |
| cmaloney | And I can get you that Iron Maiden poster. :) | 15:51 |
| cmaloney | and stickers. :) | 15:51 |
| rick_h_ | I get to go to MUG this month! | 16:21 |
| rick_h_ | fitting it'll be juju :) | 16:21 |
| jcastro | cmaloney: so you want me to be ready for this month? | 16:22 |
| cmaloney | yeah, we have our board meeting, but I'll add it to the agenda | 16:32 |
| cmaloney | About 20 minutes? | 16:32 |
| cmaloney | Sent a note to les board | 16:36 |
| jcastro | yea | 16:45 |
| cmaloney | jcastro: Awesome. Thank you! | 16:49 |
| cmaloney | jcastro: Jim McQ is looking forward to hearing about the Steam Machine | 17:11 |
| jcastro | it will be great | 17:12 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, I've been playing around with Steam under Ubuntu | 17:13 |
| jcastro | yeah, if you click the big picture mode | 17:13 |
| jcastro | and attach a controller | 17:13 |
| jcastro | that's basically it | 17:13 |
| cmaloney | since the last humble bundle doesn't have an Ubuntu Software Center option | 17:13 |
| cmaloney | (not bitter) | 17:13 |
| cmaloney | And the X3 stuff was also Steam Only | 17:14 |
| cmaloney | Only problem is the controller I have seems to be somewhat supported. | 17:14 |
| cmaloney | http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/f08d/?srp=3 | 17:15 |
| jcastro | yeah I am using an xbox controller | 17:16 |
| cmaloney | Is that pretty much plug-and-play? | 17:16 |
| jcastro | mostly | 17:16 |
| jcastro | you install a package and then run it on boot | 17:16 |
| * cmaloney saw a used sixaxxis at Guild of Blades, and was tempted to pick it up | 17:17 | |
| jcastro | MS sells a "xbox controller for windows" that has the right cable | 17:17 |
| cmaloney | but the instructions to get that working looked a little... much | 17:17 |
| jcastro | which is USB and then there's a wireless thing on it | 17:17 |
| jcastro | so the controller itself is wireless but it has like a dongle | 17:17 |
| cmaloney | Ah, OK | 17:17 |
| jcastro | ryan kather says the Ps3 controller works ootb if you have bluetooth | 17:17 |
| cmaloney | I have an old bluetooth dongle that I need to update | 17:18 |
| jcastro | plus with the xbone and ps4 coming out I suspect there will be a new flood of used controllers | 17:18 |
| jcastro | heh | 17:18 |
| cmaloney | I was playing portal with the joypad and it was pretty flakey. Had to move back to the keyboard / mouse | 17:18 |
| jcastro | yeah so for those | 17:19 |
| jcastro | I think it's a personal pref | 17:19 |
| jcastro | if you played Portal on a console | 17:19 |
| jcastro | you can play it this way | 17:19 |
| jcastro | if you prefer mouse/kb ... | 17:19 |
| jcastro | then you'll need a mouse/kb heh | 17:19 |
| jcastro | you can just play it while I give my talk | 17:20 |
| cmaloney | heh | 17:20 |
| cmaloney | If you want I could bring my desktop machine running Ubuntu 12.04 | 17:23 |
| cmaloney | Finally upgraded | 17:23 |
| cmaloney | AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core w/ GeForce GTX 660 | 17:25 |
| greg-g | you didn't type the (tm) did you? | 17:27 |
| cmaloney | No, that was from /proc/cpuinfo | 17:27 |
| * cmaloney half-thought of messing with greg-g to say "No, it must be something in the middle making sure the TM was there. | 17:28 | |
| jrwren | lol | 17:29 |
| greg-g | cmaloney: haha | 17:29 |
| jrwren | stupid centos... curl linked against NSS ?!?!?! I want openssl damnit!!! | 18:27 |
| * jrwren rages | 18:27 | |
| jcastro | cmaloney: I'll be bringing my box already set up | 18:56 |
| cmaloney | jcastro: OK, cool | 18:56 |
| cmaloney | @tammygolden: The government is shut down ONE DAY and there's already one of those Halloween stores in their space. | 19:38 |
| greg-g | haha | 19:39 |
| greg-g | does the same thing happen with xmas stores? | 19:39 |
| cmaloney | No, just the halloween stores | 19:44 |
| cmaloney | apparently when a retail establishment dies there's enough life-force left in there to be reanimated for two months of the year | 19:44 |
| cmaloney | These zombie-retail establishments act like real stores, with real customers and real employees | 19:45 |
| cmaloney | but at the stroke of midnight on Halloween they vanish | 19:45 |
| cmaloney | (after a week or two of clearance, sweeping up, and that sort of stuff) | 19:46 |
| cmaloney | only to return 10 months later | 19:46 |
| cmaloney | inhabiting the zombified retail corpse once again and reanimating it | 19:46 |
| cmaloney | in fact, they're OUT THERE NOW!!!!!!!! | 19:47 |
| greg-g | oh god, lock your doors! | 20:17 |
