[00:35] <cmaloney> Yeah, it worked like a charm
[00:35] <cmaloney> Faster than a snow blower and more effective
[00:52] <greg-g> Rowan pooped!
[00:53] <rick_h_> yay
[00:53] <rick_h_> I hope
[00:54] <rick_h_> greg-g: you ever get anywhere with your db patches?
[00:55] <brousch10> greg-g: so did I!
[00:55] <rick_h_> lol
[00:56] <greg-g> rick_h_: not yet
[00:56] <greg-g> Rowan was constipated pretty badly
[01:02] <cmaloney> greg-g: Where are you registered for this lovely poop?
[01:03] <cmaloney> Is it called a poop-mitzvah or a poopening?

[14:49] <brousch> rick_h_: Don't get too mad http://techreport.com/news/25853/lenovo-intros-4k-monitors-priced-at-799-1199
[14:58] <rick_h_> brousch: no mad here
[14:59] <rick_h_> no stats on that really to make me regret thi sone
[14:59] <rick_h_> and now > april (or later)
[14:59] <brousch> Lenovo!
[14:59] <brousch> I like the touchscreen one
[14:59] <brousch> Good for Kivy
[15:00] <rick_h_> I like thinkpads, not their displays
[15:00] <rick_h_> only own dell ultrasharps
[15:07] <brousch> How do you think this would do in the snow and ice? http://www.eliomotors.com/
[15:08] <rick_h_> brousch: put some skis on those fromt tires and put a snow tire on the back and you've got a party
[15:09] <brousch> Heh, it's in the FAQ
[15:09] <brousch> FWD
[15:09] <rick_h_> I'm trying to see where the car seat goes
[15:09] <rick_h_> doh! fwd? going to need to use tank treads then
[15:10] <rick_h_> "So, with a low center of gravity and weight towards the front, you’ll get great traction action – even in the snow."
[15:11] <brousch> I'm skeptical.
[15:12] <rick_h_> you and everyone else
[15:13] <brousch> Seems similar to my Honda del Sol. That was not good in the winter
[15:14] <rick_h_> hmm, it does have a back seat
[15:17] <rick_h_> I don't know, I think it'd be a cool second vehicle
[15:17] <rick_h_> I could use it to run out for lunch in the work day or down to CHC
[15:17] <brousch> If the back is large enough for a scrawny 6 year old, definitely
[15:18] <rick_h_> at $7k it's cool
[15:18] <rick_h_> and my wife won't let me have a motocycle anyway
[15:19] <brousch> Good
[15:19] <rick_h_> :P
[15:20] <brousch> You have a wife and young kid. A motorcycle is just stupid in those circumstances
[15:20] <jrwren> wrong!
[15:21] <jrwren> a motorcycle can't be stupid.
[15:22] <brousch> :P
[15:26] <cmaloney> Wow, I just got the new Google Chrome "new tabs"
[15:26] <cmaloney> blergh.
[15:27] <rick_h_> with the icons to notify the noise making ones and such?
[15:27] <rick_h_> works for me,
[15:27] <cmaloney> No, I mean defaulting to this:
[15:27] <cmaloney> https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2918032?hl=en
[15:28] <cmaloney> It's like opening a candy store to me
[15:28]  * cmaloney just installed an extension to add a blank page instead.
[15:29] <rick_h_> oh, the default
[15:29] <rick_h_> yea I'm still angry I can't make the apps show by default
[15:29] <cmaloney> Yeah, that was my default as well
[15:29] <cmaloney> also had to change my shortcut icons
[15:31] <cmaloney> But yeah, it's changing my muscle memory
[15:36] <trevlar> makes me think of this right away http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQh56geU0X8
[15:41] <rick_h_> whoa https://github.com/codelucas/newspaper
[16:20] <greg-g> guess who's not going to watch the obama "I lurve spying" speech right now?
[16:25] <waf> i give up. who?
[16:28] <rick_h_> ME!
[16:31] <greg-g> and me
[16:32] <greg-g> apparently jrwren is watching it, or at least retweeting people who are
[16:41] <jrwren> I am?
[16:41] <jrwren> wtf did I tweet?
[16:42] <jrwren> I didn't even know a speech was going on until I read this irc backlog this very minute.
[16:42] <greg-g> oh, maybe not?
[16:42] <greg-g> oh well
[16:43] <jrwren> there, now I did, because someone I know was stupid enough to quote it.
[17:06] <jrwren> greg-g: look what you went and did.
[17:06] <greg-g> ?
[17:06] <jrwren> I even had to listen to FGFC820 - The Heart of America
[17:07] <greg-g> heh
[17:07] <greg-g> :)
[17:40] <greg-g> grah, three fucking fibers have been cut to our Tampa datacenter
[17:40] <greg-g> 3!
[18:08] <brousch> That's what happens when you run them in the same conduit
[18:09] <greg-g> that's what happened to us last time, in 2012
[18:12] <brousch> They should encase these in titanium
[18:12] <greg-g> brousch: you seen what they do to the underwater ones?
[18:12] <greg-g> it's pretty cool
[18:18] <brousch> How they protect them?
[18:21] <greg-g> can't find the image right now :/
[18:25] <brousch> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_communications_cable ?
[18:26] <greg-g> there's more, like how they protect that part with layers of concrete blocks and wire
[18:27] <greg-g> also, the best article on it, by Mr Stephenson: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/4.12/ffglass_pr.html
[18:31] <brousch> That's way more than 140 characters
[18:50] <greg-g> it's a stephenson article, of course it is :)
[19:28] <greg-g> brousch: http://www.hsse.co.uk/portfolio/lynn-and-inner-dowsing/
[19:40] <jrwren> greg-g and other earth lovers: http://malleepermie.wordpress.com/2014/01/17/the-morality-of-lawn/
[19:44] <greg-g> we're in an official state of emergency in CA due to the drought
[19:44] <greg-g> related
[19:45] <brousch> Ug. i hate maintaining my lawn. I do the minimum work possible
[19:45] <jrwren> greg-g: have you considered it is environmentally irresponsible to live in CA?
[19:45] <greg-g> jrwren: yes
[19:46] <jrwren> greg-g: great, ann arbor welcomes you.
[19:46] <greg-g> along with all of the southwest (at least at current population numbers)
[19:46] <greg-g> I wanna go back to where the largest resevoirs of fresh water are
[19:47] <greg-g> cuz give it 10 years and the water situation is going to be dire
[19:49] <brousch> Living in the desert seems nuts to me
[19:49] <greg-g> yep
[19:50] <greg-g> but its where all of the sun is, so obviously we should just pump in water
[19:50]  * greg-g grumbles
[19:50]  * greg-g goes to the farmers market with his parents, ironically enough
[19:52] <brousch> Coat the desert in solar panels
[19:52] <jrwren> truth!
[19:52] <jrwren> but then electricity will be TOO CHEAP!
[19:52] <jrwren> and people wont be able to make $$$
[19:53] <jrwren> :)
[19:53] <brousch> You still need to transport it around the country
[19:53] <jrwren> truth
[19:54] <jrwren> and something like 80-90% of all generated electricity is lost in transport today.
[19:54] <jrwren> need decentralized electricity generation
[19:59] <brousch> just use the electricity to generate petroleum on-site
[20:01] <jrwren> if only
[20:01] <jrwren> its called non-renuable for a reason
[20:54] <brousch> I had not heard of this http://www.meetup.com/Ann-Arbor-PyLadies/events/155984652/
[20:56] <brousch> I'm not a big fan of male/female only groups, but 34 female Pythonistas in that group is pretty impressive
[21:08] <jrwren> oh, I know Jeanette Head, she is really cool.
[21:09] <jrwren> i hate it when things look good but dont' work at all: https://github.com/arachnys/cabot
[21:09] <rick_h_> :( looked cool
[21:10] <rick_h_> curse you django!
[21:10] <jrwren> its not the django.
[21:10] <jrwren> its all the other crapola
[21:10] <rick_h_> hah
[21:11] <jrwren> and undeclared dependencies.
[21:11] <brousch> Django is flawless!
[21:12] <jrwren> no, but its pretty damn good.
[21:18] <jrwren> needs node-less & coffeescript
[21:19] <brousch> it has no node, why does it need less of it?
[21:19] <jrwren> lols
[21:20] <brousch> Is this no good? https://github.com/andreyfedoseev/django-static-precompiler
[21:21] <jrwren> i don't know.
[21:21] <jrwren> those just fork to node-less and coffeescript
[21:21] <jrwren> you still need to install them.
[21:22] <brousch> hm
[21:40] <rick_h_> oh no...coffeescript?!
[21:40] <rick_h_> in django?
[21:40]  * rick_h_ runs away from the insanity
[21:40] <brousch> I'm not a big fan of coffeescript either
[21:43] <jrwren> i'm just to lazy to learn it propertly
[21:43] <jrwren> which means i'm the wrong lazy
[21:58] <rick_h_> no, just to lazy to deal with mixed deps, debugging tooling requirements, and hindering existing tooling from helping you
[21:58] <rick_h_> because you'd rather not have {}
[21:58] <rick_h_> that's the right kind of lazy
[22:01] <jrwren> I dunno.
[22:01] <jrwren> if I wrote a lot of JS, I think coffee might be better for me.
