[00:32]  * skellat **SLAPS** jenni once again
[00:32] <skellat> yano!  Can we consider renaming jenni Starscream? :-)
[00:33] <skellat> Unit193: It was nicer when I was down in Mayfield earlier
[00:34] <Unit193> -c -c -c!
[00:35] <skellat> Unit193: What's been cookin' today?
[00:36] <Unit193> Checking fluid in the cars, working with gilir to get l-d-s working, etc, etc, etc. :P
[00:36] <skellat> Ah
[00:36] <skellat> My second visit to a hospital this week for me.  This time to pick up a relation who was previously deposited for surgical work.
[00:37] <Unit193> That'd indicate they are fine, since you picked them up.
[00:38] <skellat> Yep
[00:39] <skellat> The relation had "robotic surgery"
[00:40] <skellat> And from how the machinery was described, **nobody** was pondering if the things was running F/LOSS software.  It was described as something that looked like it used a comic book as design inspiration.
[00:40] <skellat> An issue of the X-Men from the 1970s perhaps
[00:42] <skellat> Have you given any thought as to what you'd like to do under the proposed delegation?
[00:42] <skellat> If anything, that is
[00:48]  * skellat disappears
[00:50] <Unit193> Don't know, you got the reply not from me?
[01:39] <skellat> Unit193: No reply from you
[01:40] <Unit193> Wasn't what I was asking. :P
[01:40] <skellat> Unit193: I got the reply from jrgifford
[01:47]  * skellat is dumbfounded by the ABC show "The Neighbors
[01:47] <skellat> s/"The Neighbors/"The Neighbors
[01:47] <skellat> Bloody bluetooth keyboard!
[01:48]  * skellat goes to find tea
[01:48]  * Unit193 already has tea.
[14:28] <jrgifford> steamos is debian based. neato.
[14:54] <Unit193> Yeppers.
[16:57] <jrgifford> skellat: whats the weather like in the land of covered bridges?
[16:57] <skellat> Pretty and not too messy
[16:57] <jrgifford> sweet.
[16:59] <skellat> Of course, the weather did result in a big power outage for one area yesterday due to a crash: http://www.starbeacon.com/local/x1005125342/79-year-old-North-Kingsville-woman-dies-in-Route-84-crash
[16:59] <jenni> [ 79-year-old North Kingsville woman dies in Route 84 crash » Local News » The Star Beacon; Ashtabula, Ohio ] - https://j.mp/18s3QsY
[16:59] <jrgifford> ouch.
[17:01] <skellat> Yeah, that's how fragile our local power & comms infrastructure can be
[17:02] <skellat> Besides, our cell towers get "backhoe interference" at the worst times when people fail to Call Before You Dig
[17:02] <jrgifford> i regard all utilities to be fragile.
[17:02] <jrgifford> POTS is slightly less fragile, i make some assumptions about it *being* there.
[17:02] <jrgifford> but that's about it.
[17:03] <skellat> POTS, electricity, Time Warner Cable, and I can't remember who else all got knocked out with that accident
[17:06] <skellat> Thankfully it was a lower populated area of Kingsville Township stretching into Sheffield Township
[17:07] <skellat> Ashtabula City and the 3 surrounding townships (Plymouth, Saybrook, and Ashtabula) would've been a bit of a problem
[19:04] <dzho> jrgifford: I've been resisting joining the ham effort, but the increasing irrelevance of POTS has me reconsidering
[19:05] <dzho> with the idea that ham radio might be a better emergency fallback than POTS these days
[20:15] <jrgifford> dzho: hm. interesting point.
[20:20]  * skellat is still writing his report to the Ashtabula County Metroparks Board for the December 2013 meeting he won't actually be physically present at
[20:37]  * skellat reviews for Monday http://laketran.com/route/park-n-ride-route-11/
