[20:23] <wrst> howdy FastForward
[20:24] <FastForward> Hey wrst
[20:25] <FastForward> How's everything going?
[20:25] <wrst> going well, how about you FastForward?
[20:26] <FastForward> Can't complain. Got frustrated with a work problem, needed a distraction for a few minutes before I dive back in. :)
[20:26] <wrst> ha ha glad I could help out your productivity, or the lack thereof :)
[20:28] <FastForward> sometimes you just need to step back.
[20:28] <FastForward> lol
[20:28] <wrst> agreed
[20:29] <FastForward> I was getting angry, so it's best a I take a breather. lol
[20:30] <FastForward> How are things in your world? It's been a long while since I've been on.
[20:30] <wrst> going well just trying to get things planned out at work around holidays etc
[20:31] <FastForward> I hear ya. Luckily, my team all have pretty much the same plans, so it works out well.
[20:39] <wrst> that is good we are having to work with a few different customers but think i have it taken care of
[20:42] <FastForward> I'm at a bigger company now, so luckily, I don't have the small company situation I've had the previous 7 years. I will, however, be on the road and I'm not really looking forward to that.
[20:43] <wrst> advantages to both situations
[20:44] <FastForward> Certainly are.
[20:46] <FastForward> Does the Ubuntu local group meet up anymore?
[20:46] <FastForward> I looked a few weeks back and couldn't find anything recent around Nashville.
[21:07] <wrst> FastForward: I would say this group is fairly non active at the moment
[21:07] <Unit193> Just a hair.
[21:07] <FastForward> :)
[21:07] <FastForward> That's what I was thinking.
[21:11] <wrst> FastForward: I'm not actually an Ubuntu user anymore but try to help the wayward souls out that come in here with issues
[21:11] <Unit193> Hasn't helped me yet, and I've been here a while now... :---D
[21:11] <FastForward> Ha!
[21:12] <FastForward> wrst, what are you using these days?
[21:12] <Unit193> I have many, many issues too. :'(
[21:12] <wrst> ha ha Unit193 we all have issues :P
[21:12] <wrst> and I meant with computer issues
[21:12] <Unit193> I use Xubuntu, I suppose I'm actually considered a "Xubuntu team member"
[21:13] <wrst> FastForward: I run arch on my desktop actually a laptop and anything that is like a server I use Debian, and use FreeNAS for any type of storage usually however thinking about going back to Linux for that
[21:14] <Unit193> wrst: Oh, and I was out in the middle of nowhere, great internet out there for sure. :P
[21:14] <wrst> ha ha Unit193
[21:14] <wrst> any internet at all?
[21:14] <Unit193> When I was trying to download something, wouldn't go over 130KB/s and generally stuck around ~50KB/s
[21:15] <wrst> barely glorified dial up
[21:15] <Unit193> Dial-up there was far, far worse. :P
[21:16] <wrst> what is sad that means you tried :)
[21:17] <Unit193> Cell coverage is spotchy, at best.  They are on the end of the phone line, so if you would call them, it'd disconnect the dial-up, and during storms the phone would either go out, or you could clearly hear stuff from the storm when making calls. :D
[21:17] <wrst> that's very 1955 sounding
[21:17] <FastForward> Unit193, where were you?
[21:17] <Unit193> FastForward: Indiana.
[21:18] <wrst> in a corn field?
[21:18] <FastForward> My condolences.
[21:18] <wrst> ha ha
[21:19] <Unit193> Not technically, past season you know.
[21:20] <Unit193> And my oh my, the roads...  We had to drive during the big storm, and for a good 10-15 seconds were fish-tailing down the highway at ~55MPH, was sure we were going to end up ditched...  But all in all, a great trip.
[21:21] <Unit193> Back country road: Driver: "I can't even see the road"  me: "Drive half-way between the power lines and the random signs on the other side"
[21:21] <Unit193> So, everyone else have a good weekend?
[21:23] <wrst> Unit193: I did
[21:23] <wrst> Unit193: a family visit?
[21:23] <Unit193> Yes indeed, christmas visit.
[21:27] <wrst> nice Unit193
[21:41] <wrst> Unit193: from that ^ ip range?
[21:46] <wrst> yep sense they were all k-lined I suppose so
[21:49] <Unit193> Check your other channels, you'll see them in there. :P
[21:51] <wrst> oh yes... in every one of them
[22:34] <netritious> howdy locotn
[22:37] <Unit193> Howdy, netritious.
[22:38] <netritious> working hard or hardly working Unit193?
