[01:05] <rick_h_> and this is what you get for marrying a tool and outgrowing it http://sudomakethought.com/04-the-future-of-npm
[01:11] <jrwren_> i don't get it.
[01:12] <rick_h_> the couchdb replication scaling issues
[01:12] <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, etc
[01:21] <rick_h_> jrwren_: re the kitchen sexist tweet: http://www.flickr.com/photos/7508761@N03/11761747585/sizes/l/ yes ma'am
[01:21] <rick_h_> :P
[01:24] <jrwren_> chopped wood?
[01:25] <jrwren_> cut wood is not chopped wood. But now I don't know waht the tweet said.
[01:26] <rick_h_> jrwren_: yea, you're right. it said chop some lumber. I got the lumber part
[01:26] <rick_h_> wood tends to be a little different in that case
[01:27] <rick_h_> so the tweet is a bit confused, but close enough
[01:56] <rick_h_> anyone ever look at/run OpenMediaVault ?
[02:23] <cmaloney> rick_h_: So essentially what I'm seeing is "don't use Couch for anything big"
[02:23] <cmaloney> It was the undoing of Ubuntu One
[02:23] <cmaloney> It seems to be the undoing of npm
[02:34] <rick_h_>  cmaloney well, don't get married to any tech is more the wide thing I think. And never bet against http :)
[02:35] <cmaloney> Yeah, no kidding
[02:35] <cmaloney> And stop wishing for bigger pipes for data. :)
[02:35] <cmaloney> "Well, we would be fine if we could shove through 1TB / sec. ;) "
[13:04] <cmaloney> Morning
[13:32] <rick_h_> morning
[13:34] <jrwren_> cold morning
[13:35] <jrwren_> be safe ya'll
[13:35] <rick_h_> yea, hiding in my basement with he space heater
[13:35] <rick_h_> but did go shovel a path for hte wife to her car and clear the snow off
[13:35] <rick_h_> it's light stuff, but got another 4-5" of it
[13:35] <rick_h_> broke down and ordered a snow blower
[13:35] <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 year
[13:36] <jrwren_> whoa, 4"? I think I'll go get shoveling
[13:36] <rick_h_> no/now
[13:36] <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 move
[13:36] <brousch> How's the electric snow shovel working?
[13:37] <rick_h_> who's got an electric shovel?
[13:37] <brousch> Didn't you buy an electric snow thing?
[13:38] <rick_h_> no, yesterday ordered a snapper blower
[13:38] <rick_h_> gas, 4cyl, etc. Just have to wait for it to arrive
[13:38] <rick_h_> went to 4 stored and called a few more before giving up finding anything
[13:38] <brousch> insane this year
[13:39] <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 drop
[13:39] <brousch> How 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 night
[13:40] <brousch> We got a crapload Fri night and another 6-7" since then
[13:40] <rick_h_> ah yea, it's been in 1-3" drops for us
[13:41] <rick_h_>  6 hour total at the NWS office in White Lake
[13:41] <rick_h_> so about 6" for the weekend it looks like according to wunderground spotters
[13:41] <brousch> We went to Chicago on Fri night, so when I got back last night it was more than 1ft to shovel
[13:41] <brousch> Then 3-4" more last night
[13:41] <rick_h_> ouch, I was >--< close to just going all the way and getting a small two stage blower
[13:41] <brousch> I want a ride-on snowblower now
[13:41] <rick_h_> but the darn things are 4' long and I don't have that kind of garage space
[13:44] <brousch> My small snowblower made in 1970 died 2 years ago and I hadn't bothered to get it fixed.
[13:46] <brousch> Portland doesn't even have snow on the ground right now
[13:49] <brousch> Coworkers are making fun of the 1ft snow hat on my minivan
[13:51] <rick_h_> brousch: yea, I got a snowbrum to start clearing that stuff off
[13:51] <rick_h_> brousch: nope, I've got portland and cape town in my weather list and it's nuts
[13:54] <brousch> cape 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] <brousch> Ah, I was looking for a cape town, OR
[13:55] <rick_h_> ah no, when sprints come up I tend to add their weather info so I see kind of what's going on there
[14:19] <jrwren_> rick_h_: where you going all next week?
[14:19] <cmaloney> Mark's secret sprint bunker
[14:19] <jrwren_> i knew it!
[14:20] <jrwren_> probably more juju junk i can't use.
[14:20] <rick_h_> pretty much
[14:24] <brousch> Digging my car out of the driveway last night https://www.dropbox.com/s/moipg0jez9welus/2014-01-26%2020.00.06.jpg
[14:24] <brousch> That's a minivan
[14:25] <rick_h_> hah, yea that's digging
[14:26] <brousch> I have to throw snow over that 8ft fence now because the piles are too big
[14:36] <jrwren_> so glad I have garage now.
[14:36] <rick_h_> sssh, you'll get my wife going again
[14:37] <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 that
[14:38] <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/etc
[14:38] <jrwren_> we fit 2 on our 1976 built 2 car garage. its tight, but worth it IMO
[14:38] <rick_h_> yea, when we moved in we used to do that
[14:39] <jrwren_> then you got a new hobbie
[14:39] <rick_h_> I think my goal this summer is to try to rearrange things enough to be able to get her in
[14:39] <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 space
[14:40] <jrwren_> just build yourself a new project garage :p
[14:40] <rick_h_> heh, yea the thought has crossed my mind but $$$$
[14:41] <jrwren_> understood
[14:41] <rick_h_> so I try to sneak out in the morning and clear her car and such
[14:56] <brousch> We have a 1 stall, but the garage is too full of yard stuff to use
[14:56] <rick_h_> yea, that's why I've put off a snow blower for so long
[14:56] <rick_h_> they're big
[14:58] <brousch> I 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 driveway
[15:02] <jrwren_> I like the exercise that shoveling gives me. :p
[15:04] <brousch> My back does not like it
[15:04] <rick_h_> jrwren_: +1
[15:04] <rick_h_> jrwren_: honestly, if I was home vs away it would not have gotten ordered
[15:04] <rick_h_> but I fear my wife with a 6inch dump while I wear sandals
[15:05] <jrwren_> brousch: then you got a weak back, like me, its good to make it stronger
[15:05] <brousch> Send her taunting MMS messages
[15:05] <jrwren_> take her with you
[15:05] <brousch> jrwren_++
[15:06] <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.
[15:07] <rick_h_> hah
[15:12] <cmaloney> rick_h_: I have a clever plan
[15:12] <rick_h_> ruh roh
[15:12] <cmaloney> 1) Get one of those avatar robots with the iPad attached to it.
[15:12] <cmaloney> 2) Attach it to a snow blower
[15:13] <cmaloney> 3) You can clean the drive with it from Cape Town. ;)
[15:19] <rick_h_> cmaloney: hah, it needs a Rpi in there somewhere
[15:23] <cmaloney> Naturally.
[15:27] <jjesse> brousch: did your son have school thismorning?
[15:29] <brousch> No
[15:29] <jjesse> min eeither, i think thats the last "free" snow day for mine
[15:30] <brousch> Tomorrow sounds bad too
[15:30] <jjesse> yeah cold
[15:30] <brousch> Probably cancel due to the wind chill or something
[15:39] <jjesse> the charter school (due to no bussing) won't close until -30 they say
[15:40] <cmaloney> jjesse: I hope that's Celsius. ;)
[15:40] <jjesse> -30 F
[15:40] <jjesse> wind chill
[15:41] <cmaloney> That's still too cold for kids.
[15:42] <jjesse> well indoor recess and no waiting at bus stops
[15:42] <jjesse> still can get to school
[15:44] <brousch> cmaloney: 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 stop
[15:44] <brousch> -30 Was when we put on gloves!
[15:46] <jjesse> it does seem like we are getting "softer" when it comes to the cold
[15:47] <jjesse> this just seems like an old school winter to me
[15:48] <brousch> I remember maybe 2 snow days in 12 years of school. Now there are more than that every year
[16:07] <greg-g> obligatory xkcd
[16:07] <brousch> One highlight of our Chicago trip https://www.dropbox.com/s/2f4sv52l6ah38rb/2014-01-25%2018.07.11.jpg
[16:08] <cmaloney> I <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] <cmaloney> And in fact the whole thing needs to be put into another table altogether.
[18:22] <brousch> Latest photo from lunch today: https://www.dropbox.com/s/sablaj6ssm6nobz/2014-01-27%2013.01.45.jpg
[18:23] <greg-g> brousch: puuuurty
[18:23] <brousch> That brown in the pile in my mailbox, which has been destroyed. The foreground right is my driveway which has been walled up
[18:24] <brousch> The pile on the right is what I will have to throw the driveway snow over tonight
[18:26] <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] <brousch> It was pretty dense, but not too bad
[18:27] <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 farther
[18:27] <brousch> Yeah, I try to throw it 4ft into the lawn, but that was not enough this year
[18:28] <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 pile
[18:28] <rick_h_> any wind at all just blows it back at me in cloud form
[18:28] <brousch> The snow along the driveway itself is about 2ft high
[18:28] <brousch> The road piles just get huge
[18:32] <brousch> I might push it into the driveway and then to the sides
[18:32] <rick_h_> I started doing that today
[18:32] <rick_h_> pushing from the end of the drive to the middle and then tossing over
[18:32] <brousch> I've never had to do that before
[18:34] <rick_h_> http://www.flickr.com/photos/7508761@N03/12175954635/
[18:34] <rick_h_> for quick picks here
[18:34] <rick_h_> hmm, guess I'm just about to the top of the mailbox
[18:35] <brousch> rick_h_: That's a little less than what we had before Friday
[18:35] <rick_h_> brousch: yea, no lake here
[18:36] <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 now
[18:37] <rick_h_> anyway, fun stuff
[18:40] <brousch> rick_h_: It looks like your mailbox is leaning over
[18:41] <rick_h_> brousch: yes, I need to replace it this summer
[18:41] <rick_h_> been on the todo list for a while
[18:43] <brousch> The piles around people with double-wide driveways here are crazy. Like 5ft tall berms along the driveways
[18:44] <rick_h_> hah
[19:03] <cmaloney> OK, it appears Cloudkicker is going on tour for one month: http://blog.cloudkickermusic.com/post/74729258459/tour-details
[19:03] <cmaloney> Closest is Cleveland Ohio
