rick_h_and this is what you get for marrying a tool and outgrowing it http://sudomakethought.com/04-the-future-of-npm01:05
jrwren_i don't get it.01:11
rick_h_the couchdb replication scaling issues01:12
jrwren_ah.01:12
rick_h_and their issues in trying to cdn, lack of help by using the cdn, killing off some ability to replicate, etc01:12
rick_h_jrwren_: re the kitchen sexist tweet: http://www.flickr.com/photos/7508761@N03/11761747585/sizes/l/ yes ma'am01:21
rick_h_:P01:21
jrwren_chopped wood?01:24
jrwren_cut wood is not chopped wood. But now I don't know waht the tweet said.01:25
rick_h_jrwren_: yea, you're right. it said chop some lumber. I got the lumber part01:26
rick_h_wood tends to be a little different in that case01:26
rick_h_so the tweet is a bit confused, but close enough01:27
rick_h_anyone ever look at/run OpenMediaVault ?01:56
cmaloneyrick_h_: So essentially what I'm seeing is "don't use Couch for anything big"02:23
cmaloneyIt was the undoing of Ubuntu One02:23
cmaloneyIt seems to be the undoing of npm02:23
rick_h_ cmaloney well, don't get married to any tech is more the wide thing I think. And never bet against http :)02:34
cmaloneyYeah, no kidding02:35
cmaloneyAnd stop wishing for bigger pipes for data. :)02:35
cmaloney"Well, we would be fine if we could shove through 1TB / sec. ;) "02:35
cmaloneyMorning13:04
rick_h_morning13:32
jrwren_cold morning13:34
jrwren_be safe ya'll13:35
rick_h_yea, hiding in my basement with he space heater13:35
rick_h_but did go shovel a path for hte wife to her car and clear the snow off13:35
rick_h_it's light stuff, but got another 4-5" of it13:35
rick_h_broke down and ordered a snow blower13:35
jrwren_i'm dropping the kid at school and making my way to work.13:35
rick_h_no it'll probably stop for the year13:35
jrwren_whoa, 4"? I think I'll go get shoveling13:36
rick_h_no/now13:36
rick_h_well I went out yesterday and got a couple and I had probably another 3 in the drive. What I'm not sure about any more is how much 'fell' and how much blew? still, needs to move13:36
brouschHow's the electric snow shovel working?13:36
rick_h_who's got an electric shovel?13:37
brouschDidn't you buy an electric snow thing?13:37
rick_h_no, yesterday ordered a snapper blower13:38
rick_h_gas, 4cyl, etc. Just have to wait for it to arrive13:38
rick_h_went to 4 stored and called a few more before giving up finding anything13:38
brouschinsane this year13:38
rick_h_yea, I'm gone all next week and figured it's time to give in. Not going to ask my wife to do everythign else and plow through all the snow that might drop13:39
brouschHow bad was Saturday over there?13:39
rick_h_it's not been bad, just keeps going. Had a little bit sat, little bit sunday, little bit last night13:39
brouschWe got a crapload Fri night and another 6-7" since then13:40
rick_h_ah yea, it's been in 1-3" drops for us13:40
rick_h_ 6 hour total at the NWS office in White Lake13:41
rick_h_so about 6" for the weekend it looks like according to wunderground spotters13:41
brouschWe went to Chicago on Fri night, so when I got back last night it was more than 1ft to shovel13:41
brouschThen 3-4" more last night13:41
rick_h_ouch, I was >--< close to just going all the way and getting a small two stage blower13:41
brouschI want a ride-on snowblower now13:41
rick_h_but the darn things are 4' long and I don't have that kind of garage space13:41
brouschMy small snowblower made in 1970 died 2 years ago and I hadn't bothered to get it fixed.13:44
brouschPortland doesn't even have snow on the ground right now13:46
brouschCoworkers are making fun of the 1ft snow hat on my minivan13:49
rick_h_brousch: yea, I got a snowbrum to start clearing that stuff off13:51
rick_h_brousch: nope, I've got portland and cape town in my weather list and it's nuts13:51
brouschcape town?13:54
rick_h_sprint next week, I've got shorts and sandals on AMZ order this week. :13:54
rick_h_:/13:54
brouschAh, I was looking for a cape town, OR13:54
rick_h_ah no, when sprints come up I tend to add their weather info so I see kind of what's going on there13:55
jrwren_rick_h_: where you going all next week?14:19
cmaloneyMark's secret sprint bunker14:19
jrwren_i knew it!14:19
jrwren_probably more juju junk i can't use.14:20
rick_h_pretty much14:20
brouschDigging my car out of the driveway last night https://www.dropbox.com/s/moipg0jez9welus/2014-01-26%2020.00.06.jpg14:24
brouschThat's a minivan14:24
rick_h_hah, yea that's digging14:25
brouschI have to throw snow over that 8ft fence now because the piles are too big14:26
jrwren_so glad I have garage now.14:36
rick_h_sssh, you'll get my wife going again14:36
rick_h_we technically have one, just can't use it :)14:37
rick_h_and this year has been a BAD year for her to remember that14:37
jrwren_its you shop?14:38
rick_h_yea, basically. There's some bikes/trash cans, etc in there.14:38
rick_h_but mostly...shop/wood/cabinets/etc14:38
jrwren_we fit 2 on our 1976 built 2 car garage. its tight, but worth it IMO14:38
rick_h_yea, when we moved in we used to do that14:38
jrwren_then you got a new hobbie14:39
rick_h_I think my goal this summer is to try to rearrange things enough to be able to get her in14:39
rick_h_if I can move the lumber storage out to under the new porch (if we get it) then I should be able to tighten up space14:39
jrwren_just build yourself a new project garage :p14:40
rick_h_heh, yea the thought has crossed my mind but $$$$14:40
jrwren_understood14:41
rick_h_so I try to sneak out in the morning and clear her car and such14:41
brouschWe have a 1 stall, but the garage is too full of yard stuff to use14:56
rick_h_yea, that's why I've put off a snow blower for so long14:56
rick_h_they're big14:56
brouschI think I could use a fairly large one, but I'd have to park the cars at the end of the driveway near the road, clear the part by the garage, pull one car forward, clear where it was, pull the other car forward, clean the end of the driveway14:58
jrwren_I like the exercise that shoveling gives me. :p15:02
brouschMy back does not like it15:04
rick_h_jrwren_: +115:04
rick_h_jrwren_: honestly, if I was home vs away it would not have gotten ordered15:04
rick_h_but I fear my wife with a 6inch dump while I wear sandals15:04
jrwren_brousch: then you got a weak back, like me, its good to make it stronger15:05
brouschSend her taunting MMS messages15:05
jrwren_take her with you15:05
brouschjrwren_++15:05
rick_h_heh, I'm not sure she'll want to be around. It's going to be a sucky week.15:06
jrwren_she will be warm and away from home, even if you don't see her, its better than here.15:06
rick_h_hah15:07
cmaloneyrick_h_: I have a clever plan15:12
rick_h_ruh roh15:12
cmaloney1) Get one of those avatar robots with the iPad attached to it.15:12
cmaloney2) Attach it to a snow blower15:12
cmaloney3) You can clean the drive with it from Cape Town. ;)15:13
rick_h_cmaloney: hah, it needs a Rpi in there somewhere15:19
cmaloneyNaturally.15:23
jjessebrousch: did your son have school thismorning?15:27
brouschNo15:29
jjessemin eeither, i think thats the last "free" snow day for mine15:29
brouschTomorrow sounds bad too15:30
jjesseyeah cold15:30
brouschProbably cancel due to the wind chill or something15:30
jjessethe charter school (due to no bussing) won't close until -30 they say15:39
cmaloneyjjesse: I hope that's Celsius. ;)15:40
jjesse-30 F15:40
jjessewind chill15:40
cmaloneyThat's still too cold for kids.15:41
jjessewell indoor recess and no waiting at bus stops15:42
jjessestill can get to school15:42
brouschcmaloney: Wat? Why when I was a kid I had to walk 3/4 mile alone on unplowed streets uphill both ways to stand at the bus stop15:44
brousch-30 Was when we put on gloves!15:44
jjesseit does seem like we are getting "softer" when it comes to the cold15:46
jjessethis just seems like an old school winter to me15:47
brouschI remember maybe 2 snow days in 12 years of school. Now there are more than that every year15:48

brouschOne highlight of our Chicago trip https://www.dropbox.com/s/2f4sv52l6ah38rb/2014-01-25%2018.07.11.jpg16:07
cmaloneyI <3 when I finish something and then realize it's not going to work the way that I intended it to work at all.16:08
cmaloneyAnd in fact the whole thing needs to be put into another table altogether.16:08
brouschLatest photo from lunch today: https://www.dropbox.com/s/sablaj6ssm6nobz/2014-01-27%2013.01.45.jpg18:22
greg-gbrousch: puuuurty18:23
brouschThat brown in the pile in my mailbox, which has been destroyed. The foreground right is my driveway which has been walled up18:23
brouschThe pile on the right is what I will have to throw the driveway snow over tonight18:24
rick_h_brousch: wins. My snow pile is only a little over the mailbox at this point. Your snow looks heavier as well. More wet due to lake effect?18:26
brouschIt was pretty dense, but not too bad18:26
rick_h_I've discovered that shoveling means you end up with tall piles right by the driveway beacuse you only toss it that far while the folks with blowers have more even because the machines are spreading it out a lot farther18:27
brouschYeah, I try to throw it 4ft into the lawn, but that was not enough this year18:27
rick_h_ours is so light that I have to shovel all the snow to the right side of the drive or else eat the snow as I toss it over the pile18:28
rick_h_any wind at all just blows it back at me in cloud form18:28
brouschThe snow along the driveway itself is about 2ft high18:28
brouschThe road piles just get huge18:28
=== jrwren_ is now known as jrwren
brouschI might push it into the driveway and then to the sides18:32
rick_h_I started doing that today18:32
rick_h_pushing from the end of the drive to the middle and then tossing over18:32
brouschI've never had to do that before18:32
rick_h_http://www.flickr.com/photos/7508761@N03/12175954635/18:34
rick_h_for quick picks here18:34
rick_h_hmm, guess I'm just about to the top of the mailbox18:34
brouschrick_h_: That's a little less than what we had before Friday18:35
rick_h_brousch: yea, no lake here18:35
rick_h_but you can see in this one the small pile by the car http://www.flickr.com/photos/7508761@N03/12176581216/in/photostream/18:36
rick_h_I started pushing snow up to there to toss over instead now18:36
rick_h_anyway, fun stuff18:37
brouschrick_h_: It looks like your mailbox is leaning over18:40
rick_h_brousch: yes, I need to replace it this summer18:41
rick_h_been on the todo list for a while18:41
brouschThe piles around people with double-wide driveways here are crazy. Like 5ft tall berms along the driveways18:43
rick_h_hah18:44
