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