[01:01]  * greg-g is backing up dvds made of vhs's my dad took of my kindergarten program/2nd grade program/first communion/preschool program
[01:02] <jrwren> hahaha
[12:17] <cmaloney> Good morning
[12:18] <rick_h__> morning
[12:19] <cmaloney> Oh this is lovely... Apparently Ting isn't in Canada even though it's a Canadian company
[12:20] <rick_h__> hmm, interesting. they'd need a new partner right?
[12:20] <cmaloney> https://ting.com/outside_usa
[12:21] <cmaloney> Yeah, and apparently the "Big 3" of Canada aren't interested.
[12:23] <cmaloney> Also: Hangouts for SMS is the bestest thing ever.
[12:23] <rick_h__> hah!
[12:25] <cmaloney> Finally figured out how to turn it on yesterday when co-worker was complaining about group messaging.
[12:25] <cmaloney> which I have to say is the stupidest thing I have ever heard.
[12:26] <rick_h__> yea, I mean we've tried to use it for pyohio like that before
[12:26] <cmaloney> Yeah
[12:26] <cmaloney> But I didn't know they had perverted MMS so it was essentially email
[12:27] <rick_h__> yea
[14:07] <jrwren> yeah, hangouts for sms is the best.
[14:07] <jrwren> or imessage if you live in candy apple land.
[19:26] <brousch> Reminds me of #ubuntu-us-mi, though this channel is logged, so it will live forever http://xkcd.com/1305/
[19:39] <cmaloney> heh
[19:39] <cmaloney> I have a few channels like that.
[19:42] <greg-g> I have the dead ones, too
[19:42]  * greg-g pours one out for his homies past
[20:14] <greg-g> I love joey hess, btw
[20:15] <jrwren> who?
[20:15] <greg-g> report bug in his new self-contained arm build of git-annex (ie: unzip and run, everything's included) and within minutes, he has a fix/new build going: http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/arm_build:_ssh:_error_while_loading_shared_libraries:_libselinux.so.1/
[20:15] <greg-g> author of dpkg, and also of git-annex
[20:15] <greg-g> (I think dpkg, one of those low level-ish debian tools)
[21:04] <rick_h__> cmaloney: widox waf heads up no CHC for me tonight. Sick babysitter :(
[21:04] <rick_h__> but at least I'm getting out of the wife's christmas party
[21:13] <waf> thanks for the heads up, i'll have a coffee in your honor, fallen comrade.
[21:14] <rick_h__> yea, two weeks in a row wtf
[21:14] <widox> booo
[21:27] <brousch> rick_h__: Bring the kid!
[21:27] <brousch> Tonight's CHC is bring the kid night. Give your wife a night off!
[21:38] <greg-g> commentary on holidays: why do we get both Thanksgiving and day after thanksgiving off, but only Christmas (not day before or after)?
[21:38] <greg-g> we == WMF, but pretty sure it's US Gov Holiday based
[21:39] <greg-g> ah, nope, I guess we get an extra one (day after thanksgiving): http://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/snow-dismissal-procedures/federal-holidays/#url=2013
[21:40] <brousch> We get 1/2 days on the 24th and 31st
[21:41] <greg-g> neat
[21:41] <greg-g> I'm going to email HR and complain
[21:41] <greg-g> I mean, we're a tech company in SF, the new standard is "unlimited vacation time" (untracked), which usually means people take less ;)
[21:42] <brousch> Well so take those days off as vacation
[21:42] <greg-g> but then I can't take vacation at other times!
[21:42] <greg-g> zero-sum!
[21:43] <brousch> Sure you can. You have unlimited vacation
[21:44] <greg-g> ....
[21:44] <greg-g> we don't.
[21:44] <brousch> Ah, the new standard is unlimited, but you don't meet the standard
[21:46] <greg-g> right, referring to places like EventBrite and Twitter
[21:46] <greg-g> otherwise I wouldn't complain about which holidays we have off ;)
