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