| cmaloney | Evening | 00:35 |
|---|---|---|
| rick_h_ | party | 00:43 |
| gamerchick02 | a snow party | 00:44 |
| jrwren_ | lol at someone going off on whoopsie in #ubuntu-server | 01:06 |
| jrwren_ | sounds just like our Dr. Watson conversation | 01:06 |
| === Haven|AFK is now known as Havenstance | ||
| Havenstance | good evening | 01:19 |
| cmaloney | OK, archive.org just yelled at me because I didn't use leading zeroes for the date for my podcast. | 01:30 |
| cmaloney | [2014] [1] [6] instead of [2014] [01] [06] | 01:30 |
| gamerchick02 | ugh | 01:30 |
| cmaloney | I didn't realize they'd legalized pot in CA because they're smoking some strong shit to enforce that. | 01:31 |
| gamerchick02 | heh | 01:31 |
| cmaloney | greg-g: Your blog is showing a 500 error | 01:38 |
| Havenstance | good evening | 01:40 |
| gamerchick02 | howdy havenstance | 01:40 |
| cmaloney | Havenstance: howdy. | 01:40 |
| Havenstance | how's everyone tonight? | 01:41 |
| gamerchick02 | lol cmaloney we're on the same wavelength | 01:41 |
| gamerchick02 | cold. but ok | 01:41 |
| Havenstance | i hear ya there, I just got back from town | 01:41 |
| Havenstance | church sign said -15 | 01:41 |
| gamerchick02 | brrrrr | 01:42 |
| jrwren_ | cmaloney: CA, CO, they are close enough :) | 01:42 |
| Havenstance | i think the worst part was home from town I was stuck behind a car with Florida plates... | 01:42 |
| Havenstance | dude was going 5mph on a main highway.... | 01:43 |
| gamerchick02 | ugh | 01:43 |
| cmaloney | jrwren_: Not even secondhand buzzes can account for that. ;) | 01:45 |
| gamerchick02 | geez. that's crazy | 01:46 |
| Havenstance | ah, time to retreat to wow. My taxi has arrived :) | 01:50 |
| cmaloney | have fun! | 01:50 |
| Havenstance | eh, its whatever. cursed reason i still have a Windows partition... | 01:51 |
| gamerchick02 | hah, havenstance. i have a windows partition too.i think a lot of people do | 01:58 |
| jrwren_ | the stupid linksys $300 openwrt router is an attack on open source. They want to suggest that open source is too expensive. | 02:02 |
| cmaloney | jrwren_: OK, CO is way too far to explain that outburst. ;) | 02:05 |
| jrwren_ | cmaloney: lol | 03:00 |
| jrwren_ | greg-g: http://thefire.org/article/9865.html thoughts? | 03:00 |
| cmaloney | jrwren_: If anyone asked me in college when I discovered my sexual identiy I think I would have left some form of smart-ass answer | 03:04 |
| cmaloney | That's nobody's business. | 03:04 |
| cmaloney | Also I'm pretty sure it's not a single point in time | 03:05 |
| _stink_ | i had a small experience like this during freshman orientation at WMU 13 years ago. | 03:17 |
| _stink_ | about racism. | 03:18 |
| _stink_ | orientation leaders, way out of their element and undertrained, asked to push a policital agenda | 03:18 |
| _stink_ | political | 03:18 |
| rick_h_ | heh, erica is having a fit that our weather station is reporting -14 outside | 03:42 |
| rick_h_ | and that there's frost on the inside of the doorwalls | 03:42 |
| jrwren_ | its COLD | 03:43 |
| rick_h_ | yep | 03:44 |
| jrwren_ | cmaloney: apparently smart-ass answers were met with badgering follow ups until questions were answered | 03:44 |
| _stink_ | just sent it to a cousin-in-law who is a residence hall director in Wisconsin for her thoughts. | 03:50 |
| cmaloney | Sorry, but you're not my shrink, you're not my lover, and you're certainly not my pastor. | 04:56 |
| cmaloney | And in all of those cases it's up to me to decide if I'll open up to you. | 04:57 |
| === JonathanS is now known as JonathanD | ||
| cmaloney | Brrrrrrrrr. | 11:18 |
| rick_h_ | no, this is well beyond Brrrrrrrrrr | 12:34 |
| rick_h_ | "#$#@$#@$#@%#@%#$#@$@# it's cold" | 12:34 |
| rick_h_ | somehow feels more appropriate | 12:34 |
| cmaloney | heh | 12:42 |
| cmaloney | I'm working from home today. | 12:42 |
| cmaloney | We have the heater on at 70F | 12:43 |
| cmaloney | and I have a sweater on because it's still chilly in here. | 12:43 |
| cmaloney | Our house has pretty shit insulation | 12:43 |
| rick_h_ | damn, had to call the dealer to figure out how to get into the touareg | 13:02 |
| rick_h_ | won't listen for keyfob | 13:02 |
| rick_h_ | and the subaru won't start | 13:02 |
| rick_h_ | but find the secret panel and it's going yay | 13:02 |
| cmaloney | I think it's secretly saying "fuck you" | 13:03 |
| rick_h_ | erica's unhappy that she can't park in the garage right now | 13:05 |
| rick_h_ | I'm in deep daddy trouble | 13:05 |
| cmaloney | rick_h_: ruh roh | 13:05 |
| rick_h_ | yea, "why does your car start and not mine" | 13:06 |
| rick_h_ | "if my car was in the garage would it start?" | 13:06 |
| rick_h_ | I'll have to find a way to get her car started today :/ | 13:06 |
| cmaloney | rick_h_: Well, on the plus side you might get to drive the Subaru again until it does. ;) | 13:07 |
| cmaloney | http://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/introduce-yourself/1388 | 14:14 |
| brousch | I'm tired of shoveling | 14:32 |
| cmaloney | Yep. | 14:32 |
| brousch | Spent an hour last night, and another hour this morning | 14:34 |
| cmaloney | brousch: Lake-effect? | 14:34 |
| cmaloney | Luckily we haven't had the snow outside of Sunday->Monday. | 14:34 |
| cmaloney | (knock on Ikea) | 14:34 |
| brousch | Drifting and plow effect | 14:37 |
| brousch | How do I subscribe to this forum to get email notifications of new posts and topics? http://discourse.ubuntu.com/category/local-teams/ubuntu-michigan | 14:37 |
| cmaloney | I think it'll automatically send you a digest if you haven't been on there in a while. | 14:45 |
| cmaloney | Not sure how to sub to a particular forum | 14:46 |
| cmaloney | ACtually I think you can watch a category | 14:46 |
| cmaloney | Here's how that works. | 14:47 |
| cmaloney | Go to your settings | 14:47 |
| cmaloney | under categories there's watched, tracked and muted | 14:47 |
| cmaloney | Under tracked type "Ubuntu michigan" and it'll send you notifications for each topic posted. | 14:48 |
| brousch | Good enough | 14:48 |
| brousch | Though there should really be a "Track this Category" button on the category page | 14:49 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, that would be helpful | 14:55 |
| greg-g | cmaloney: should be better now :/ | 16:53 |
| greg-g | bad .htaccess | 16:53 |
| rick_h_ | /ban cmaloney | 16:54 |
| rick_h_ | seems a bad rule :P | 16:54 |
| cmaloney | I'm ? | 17:07 |
| cmaloney | greg-g: Cool. Thanks. :) | 17:07 |
| cmaloney | rick_h_: Yeah, make me have to work to see your content. :) | 17:08 |
| cmaloney | That seems to be the Hollywood way. :) | 17:08 |
| cmaloney | http://arstechnica.com/apple/2014/01/app-store-sales-surpassed-10-billion-in-2013-apple-says/ | 18:05 |
| cmaloney | It's good to be king | 18:05 |
| brousch | Money money money | 18:06 |
| cmaloney | Hey, it were up to me I'd control to toll booth and have everyone pay me to pass through. | 18:07 |
| brousch | It is up to you. You have just chosen to focus on other things | 18:09 |
| cmaloney | There's nothing more lonely than a toll booth on an empty road. | 18:10 |
| cmaloney | save for two toll booths. | 18:10 |
| rick_h_ | damn cold, new battery acquired. Now to warm up long enough to go back out and install the dippy thing | 18:29 |
| brousch | Battery for your big-ass snow blower? | 18:30 |
| rick_h_ | no, wife's subaru | 18:32 |
| rick_h_ | orignal 09 battery went kaput and helped get me in trouble this morning | 18:32 |
| brousch | Heh, my wife's was a bit hesitant this morning | 18:32 |
| brousch | Hm, also a 2009 | 18:33 |
| rick_h_ | the touareg won't respond to the keyfob in the cold | 18:33 |
| rick_h_ | but once I found the secret panel to pop off to get access to a key hole, she started, but the diesel was rough starting | 18:33 |
| rick_h_ | but at least one of the cars got going this morning and all that's wrong with the other is the battery | 18:34 |
| brousch | I wondered about that. Don't they use plug-in heaters for diesels in Canada? | 18:34 |
| rick_h_ | yea | 18:34 |
| brousch | There's a VW Golf TDI on my street. He doesn't seem to have had trouble | 18:34 |
| rick_h_ | co-worker is up there and they use block heaters and blankets, but that's an 'option' down here because you're not supposed to need it :/ | 18:34 |
| rick_h_ | I didn't say it had trouble starting, just that it was a far cry from the smooth purr it normally is | 18:35 |
| brousch | Right | 18:35 |
| brousch | Well if it started today, I'd say it will never be a problem | 18:36 |
| rick_h_ | yea, exactly. all uphill from here...I hope | 18:36 |
| brousch | I'm considering the Golf TDI for my next car, so I keep an eye on the neighbor's experience | 18:36 |
| rick_h_ | I'll probably get the wife a wagon tdi for her next car at this point | 18:37 |
| rick_h_ | we'll see I guess in a few years though | 18:37 |
| rick_h_ | jcastro: meant to thank you for the bounty and plug on the monitor askubuntu thing | 19:39 |
| brousch | Did it work? | 19:39 |
| jcastro | did it work? | 19:39 |
| rick_h_ | yea, I've got one giant display. It's hacky as can be | 19:39 |
| brousch | nice | 19:40 |
| rick_h_ | jcastro: http://uploads.mitechie.com/current_status.png | 19:40 |
| brousch | Not 4 960px columns? | 19:41 |
| rick_h_ | not currently | 19:41 |
| rick_h_ | :) | 19:41 |
| rick_h_ | I have to up the font size so I go two or three splits wide and two tall | 19:41 |
| rick_h_ | so when I'm heavily working I've got a 6x6 grid | 19:41 |
| rick_h_ | err, 3x3 grid or 6 workspaces | 19:42 |
| brousch | up the font size?!?! | 19:44 |
| rick_h_ | yea | 19:44 |
| rick_h_ | that's 14pt in the screenshot I thihnk | 19:44 |
| rick_h_ | think | 19:44 |
| rick_h_ | from 10 | 19:44 |
| brousch | Who are you and what have you done with rick_h_? | 19:44 |
| rick_h_ | or was it 8/9 | 19:44 |
| rick_h_ | but no anti aliasing or type hinting | 19:44 |
| cmaloney | Very cool | 19:57 |
| jrwren | hello from codemash | 20:12 |
| rick_h_ | jrwren: get some bacon for me | 20:12 |
| jrwren | already had some :) | 20:12 |
| brousch | Now have some for me | 20:18 |
| widox | rick_h_: that's purdy -- you like the monitor overall? | 20:19 |
| rick_h_ | widox: yea, I'm happy with it. It's a mixed bag as not everything plays nice. | 20:20 |
| rick_h_ | but everything cli is beautiful | 20:20 |
| rick_h_ | chrome and such needs some <3 but it'll get there | 20:20 |
| brousch | Why are there problems? | 20:21 |
| rick_h_ | the UI components of gui apps | 20:21 |
| rick_h_ | they don't scale for high dpi screens | 20:21 |
| brousch | ah | 20:21 |
| rick_h_ | so with fonts/cli I can just bump the font sizes | 20:21 |
| rick_h_ | but I can't tell chrome "scale your UX to 1.5 normal size | 20:21 |
| brousch | Supposedly you can adjust KDE for it | 20:22 |
| rick_h_ | only if it's using that toolkit | 20:22 |
| widox | ahh | 20:26 |
| widox | rick_h_: does zooming in your browswer make things better? | 20:27 |
| cmaloney | rick_h_: Your pipes are freezing? | 20:57 |
| rick_h_ | widox: often times yes | 21:03 |
| rick_h_ | widox: it depends on the site and how they setup their fonts | 21:03 |
| rick_h_ | cmaloney: yea, we've got our kitchen pipes that run between the wall in the closet of my basement up to the kitchen | 21:04 |
| rick_h_ | cmaloney: they freeze and I've got to stick a space heater in my office closet to warm the space behind it | 21:04 |
| rick_h_ | so right now, I'm space heating my office closet, go me | 21:05 |
| cmaloney | woo woo | 21:05 |
| rick_h_ | battery in the subie replaced, up to the gas station, and filled her up with the good stuff | 21:06 |
| rick_h_ | work done today: meh ... fixing life: go go go | 21:06 |
| rick_h_ | jcastro: ruh roh http://techcrunch.com/2014/01/07/yahoo-announces-that-it-has-acquired-intelligent-homescreen-startup-aviate/ | 21:29 |
| rick_h_ | at least they're not killing it off to start I guess | 21:30 |
| jcastro | It didn't really last long on my phone | 21:30 |
| jcastro | a week or so | 21:30 |
| jcastro | it wasn't bad | 21:31 |
| rick_h_ | orly? | 21:31 |
| jcastro | but it wasn't like, WOW | 21:31 |
| rick_h_ | oh, I'm still using it | 21:31 |
| rick_h_ | yea, but it's better than the default home screen stuff | 21:31 |
| jcastro | it tries to be too smart | 21:31 |
| jcastro | like, I want my wife's icon on the launcher | 21:31 |
| jcastro | but it's like "you are at work, you only added her to this other context." | 21:31 |
| rick_h_ | "ok google now, call erica" | 21:31 |
| rick_h_ | gotcha | 21:31 |
| jcastro | you use voice stuff? | 21:31 |
| jcastro | lol | 21:31 |
| rick_h_ | hell yea | 21:31 |
| rick_h_ | all the time, I set more alarms and reminders now that ever | 21:32 |
| rick_h_ | "ok google now, reminder me to turn off the crock pot in 5 hrs" | 21:32 |
| rick_h_ | "ok google now, reminder me to call the auto glass place tomrrow afternoon" | 21:32 |
| rick_h_ | I wish it did better at music playback stuff and I'd use it there as well, but it's not right | 21:32 |
| rick_h_ | texting via voice is better now that you can send without clicking | 21:33 |
| cmaloney | I'm still using it as well | 22:12 |
| cmaloney | but Yahoo will likely neglect it to death | 22:13 |
| cmaloney | or worse. | 22:13 |
| cmaloney | "You're at work. Here's the apps that everyone else at work are using. I like purple. POST TO FLICKR?" | 22:14 |
| gamerchick02 | i made it to work today! | 23:36 |
