[02:57] <cmaloney> lmorchard: You have opened the floodgates.
[02:58] <cmaloney> lmorchard: Prog metal is one of my favorite genres
[02:58] <lmorchard> Heh, I figured I might
[02:58] <cmaloney> Just added some more to the G+ post.
[02:59] <lmorchard> Realized I was in a rut on like just 2 albums from 2 bands & needed to expand
[02:59] <cmaloney> Yeah, I've been there. Usually lasts a week. ;)
[03:00] <lmorchard> I think I listened to just 2 dream theater albums on repeat when I wrote my last book
[03:00] <cmaloney> What's your opinion of the more metal trappings? (growl vocals, mega fast tempos, heavy distortion)?
[03:00] <lmorchard> Lately for some reason I've been stuck on just one Mastodon album as my "get down to business" playlist
[03:01] <cmaloney> Ah, now I have something to work with. :)
[03:01] <cmaloney> Which album?
[03:01] <lmorchard> Crack the Skye
[03:01] <cmaloney> http://depthsnc.bandcamp.com/album/pizza-party-ep
[03:01] <lmorchard> I can kind of go back & forth... I was on a Kansas trip like all last summer, but I can appreciate a lot of metal
[03:02] <cmaloney> Did you pick up "The Hunter" from Mastodon?
[03:02] <lmorchard> Hmm, been meaning to check that one out
[03:03] <cmaloney> Blood Mountain and Crack The Skye are like Mastodon's "Master of Puppets / Ride the Lightning"
[03:03] <cmaloney> The Hunter is their And Justice for All
[03:03] <cmaloney> Solid album
[03:04] <cmaloney> Opinions n Yes?
[03:04] <lmorchard> Yeah, I'm a big Yes fan
[03:04] <cmaloney> Fly from Here is a solid effort
[03:05] <lmorchard> I'm a little so-so on the very newest stuff since Union, but haven't checked out Fly from Here yet
[03:05] <cmaloney> I'm not a huge yes fan
[03:05] <cmaloney> Jon ANderson was a take it / leave it part for a while
[03:06] <lmorchard> This Pizza Party EP sounds like something I can get down with
[03:06] <lmorchard> Looks like I got some playlists to load up for tomorrow :D

[03:10] <cmaloney> The Ocean: Pelagial is my album of 2013.
[03:10] <cmaloney> Played the fuck out of that album for a few weeks
[03:10] <cmaloney> There's two discs: w/ Vocals and Instrumental
[03:11] <cmaloney> I actually prefer the vocals which is rare for me.
[03:12] <lmorchard> Heh, I forgot youtube lifted that old 10min limit on videos
[03:12] <cmaloney> Yeah, it's nice to be able to preview an album without plunking down cash
[03:13] <cmaloney> https://bandcamp.com/craigmaloney
[03:13] <lmorchard> I've also been listening to a lot of Spotify, but still spring for albums occasionally
[03:13] <cmaloney> not all of these are prog, but some of them
[03:13] <cmaloney> are
[03:14] <lmorchard> Heh, I see I've found a nicely sized iceberg here
[03:14] <cmaloney> Oh yeah
[03:15] <cmaloney> https://earache.bandcamp.com/album/outer-isolation
[03:15] <cmaloney> if you can get over the guy's screaming vocals (took me a bit) this one is really rewarding
[03:15] <cmaloney> thrash with technical death elements.
[03:16] <lmorchard> Heh, Tetrastructural Minds starts off like I just hit the boss level
[03:17] <cmaloney> You have.
[03:17] <lmorchard> And I'm saying heh a lot
[03:18] <cmaloney> But yeah it took me a little bit to get over the vocals
[03:20] <lmorchard> Hmm, yeah, I could see that... might have to be in more angsty mood to really get into that
[03:20] <cmaloney> It grows on you. It's a little jarring right out of the gate
[03:20] <cmaloney> but it's one of my more listened to albums
[03:21] <cmaloney> https://semanticsaturation.bandcamp.com/album/solipsistic
[03:21] <lmorchard> I also used to listen to a lot of self-indulgent goth music, so  it's not totally out there
[03:22] <cmaloney> This one is one of those prog instrumental albums with Derek Sherinian / Virgil Donati
[03:22] <cmaloney> Sounds a lot like Planet X to me
[03:25] <cmaloney> https://toundra.bandcamp.com/album/iii
[03:25] <cmaloney> Haven't picked this one up yet
[03:25] <lmorchard> I see I'll have to spend some time on bandcamp too
[03:25] <cmaloney> yeah, bandcamp is amazing
[03:26] <cmaloney> I think the post rock tag will keep you busy for a year.
[03:27] <cmaloney> https://krimh.bandcamp.com/album/explore-2
[03:28] <cmaloney> https://metropolisrecords.bandcamp.com/album/weapon
[03:28] <cmaloney> *cough*
[03:28] <lmorchard> Yeah, this is all good stuff, thanks for throwing it my way :)
[03:28] <cmaloney> np. More than happy to share.
[03:29] <cmaloney> If there's anything you want to check out feel free to ping me.
[03:29] <lmorchard> Oh yeah, I think I bought that Skinny Puppy album, but haven't queued it up again since it came out
[03:30] <cmaloney> lmorchard: It's fucking brilliant
[03:30] <lmorchard> Have you heard any of the Ohgr stuff?
[03:30] <cmaloney> I'm finding I prefer listening to the newer stuff
[03:30] <cmaloney> No, sadly I haven't picked any up
[03:31] <cmaloney> Not sure what my problem is, other than I don't think his stuff gets the distribution
[03:31] <lmorchard> Ohgr's a lot like this new Skinny Puppy
[03:31] <lmorchard> Maybe even a bit more poppy, oddly enough
[03:31] <cmaloney> Yeah, that's what I've heard.
[03:31] <cmaloney> Fuck, there's a new FLA album
[03:31] <cmaloney> I can't keep up
[03:32] <lmorchard> Heh
[03:32] <lmorchard> Yeah, just when I thought all those bands were done, they get more work done
[03:32] <cmaloney> I think that's why I've graviated away from industrial: there's a new album every year.
[03:32] <cmaloney> I'm glad Ministry is calling it a day.
[03:33] <lmorchard> Yeah, I lost track of Ministry probably like 10 years ago
[03:33] <cmaloney> Ever since Filth Pig I lost interest.
[03:34] <cmaloney> And everything since sounded like Psalm 69 revved up
[03:34] <lmorchard> I will say that they did a cover of What A Wonderful World that hurt my brain, but yeah pretty much variations on Psalm 69
[03:34] <cmaloney> I liked the covers album
[03:35] <cmaloney> at least it wasn't bitching about Bush
[03:36] <lmorchard> Wow, crimony they have a lot of albums I never noticed
[03:36] <cmaloney> Ministry or FLA?
[03:36] <lmorchard> Ministry.. yeah I think I checked out around Filth Pig too
[03:36] <lmorchard> But FLA too
[03:36] <cmaloney> FLA has been pretty consistently awesome when they're not fulfilling a contract.
[03:36] <cmaloney> Monument was a corporate album
[03:37] <lmorchard> Last FLA album I actually bought was Civilization
[03:37] <cmaloney> everything since has been pretty solid.
[03:37] <lmorchard> like in 2004
[03:37] <lmorchard> Though I think I got Airmech too, but didn't realize it was FLA since it's also the sound track to a pretty neat game
[03:37] <cmaloney> hah
[03:38] <cmaloney> Artificial Soldier is quite good
[03:38] <cmaloney> IED is pretty good as well
[03:39] <cmaloney> https://plus.google.com/u/0/+AndrewChason/posts/Cbk4bukZ9CC
[03:48] <lmorchard> This should be good
[04:03] <cmaloney> lmorchard: Also congrats on finding Spock's Beard. They're an amazing band.
[04:03] <cmaloney> one of my favorites
[04:04] <jrwren> +1 on Skinny Puppy and Ogre
[04:04] <cmaloney> I lucked into them on some mailing list
[04:04] <cmaloney> (I think Dream Theater related)
[04:04] <cmaloney> and by the kindness of strangers someone sent me their first few albums
[04:05] <lmorchard> Yeah, I think I just randomly threw something at google like "give me another band like dream theater" and Spock's Beard came up
[04:05] <cmaloney> lmorchard: Familiar with King's X?
[04:05] <lmorchard> I'm somewhat amazed lately by Google returning useful stuff when I just vomit things into the search box
[04:06] <lmorchard> I want to say I listened to some of their stuff in the 90s
[04:06] <lmorchard> Oh probably the 80s, since I just peeked at wikipedia
[04:06] <cmaloney> yeah, that was their key-day.
[04:06] <cmaloney> hey-day.
[04:07] <lmorchard> and embarassingly enough in relation to Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey
[04:07] <cmaloney> gretchen goes to nebraska was 1989
[04:07] <cmaloney> To me they're what Kansas would have been had Jimi Hendrix fronted them.
[04:08] <lmorchard> Huh, that's an interesting idea
[04:08] <cmaloney> and had they been a power-trio

[04:42] <cmaloney> lmorchard: Also: http://www.reddit.com/r/progrockmusic/
[04:42] <cmaloney> http://www.reddit.com/r/progmetal
[13:36] <cmaloney> Good morning
[13:36] <rick_h_> morning
[14:00] <brousch> morn
[14:00] <brousch> rick_h_: You still here? I thought you left
[14:00] <rick_h_> brousch: car arrives in an hour
[14:00] <rick_h_> hopefully, never taken a metro car to the airport before
[14:01] <brousch> That's right. Flee before the snow storm. You can't handle the snow!
[14:01] <rick_h_> oh yea...scared me
[14:02] <rick_h_> spend $$ on snow blower than leave so I don't have to use it
[14:02] <rick_h_> nothing worse than getting a new toy you can't use
[14:04] <brousch> Speaking of toys, my profit sharing bonus came in, so I'm ordering a N10 and wireless charger for my wife
[14:04] <brousch> I'll probably give my N7 to my son, sell the weak tablets, and get an N10 for myself
[14:10] <cmaloney> brousch: nice!
[14:10] <cmaloney> Hope they net something
[14:11] <brousch> They will: HP touchpad is still beloved by many, and Transformer Infinity is still worth something
[14:12] <cmaloney> brousch: You looking at the "Buy It Now" prices on Ebay?
[14:12] <brousch> I'll keep the Nook Color with CM as an Android 2.3 test device
[14:12] <brousch> cmaloney: Hah, no
[16:02] <ColonelPanic001> cmaloney: good game, btw.
[16:02] <ColonelPanic001> that was fun. Much better on mobile, the notifications made all the difference
[16:03] <brousch> Go?
[17:13] <cmaloney> ColonelPanic001: Actually I think you might have won that one
[17:13] <cmaloney> wasn't sure about that one stone
[17:13] <cmaloney> brousch: Yeah.
[17:13] <cmaloney> We've been doing a play-by-post game on the Dragon Go Server
[17:14] <cmaloney> ColonelPanic001: I have another game invite for you if you're interested.
[17:14] <cmaloney> I have a hard time determining what is considered a dead stone
[17:14] <cmaloney> and I wish the computer was better at picking those out
[17:15] <cmaloney> ColonelPanic001: And yeah, it was a good game. Thank you for the chance to play against a real human
[17:16] <cmaloney> I won one game against GNUGo with the highest handicap I could get. It was rather surreal
[17:16] <cmaloney> It just started passing after I made a pretty major capture
[17:30] <rick_h_> brousch: wireless charger for it? That's got to be a pita to use
[17:31] <rick_h_> brousch: I got https://www.amazon.com/gp/css/order-history/ref=ohs_order_orderid?ie=UTF8&hasWorkingJavascript=1&opt=ab&qid=&search=105-5667181-1176227&sr= and like it
[17:51] <ColonelPanic001> cmaloney: sure, I'll try and remember to start it up later
[17:57] <cmaloney> ColonelPanic001: Cool
[17:57]  * cmaloney played another quick game at lunch. 5 handicap vs. Gnu Go on 9x9. Managed to get ahead again and gain territory.
[17:58] <cmaloney> I look forward to the day when I can win on 9x9 without training wheels.
[17:58] <cmaloney> The 19x19 board without training wheels seems a long way off. :)
[17:59] <ColonelPanic001> heh
[17:59] <cmaloney> https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-aQAuN_2gbUk/Us50rhHwasI/AAAAAAAAGCE/BaQYOu8M-Cc/w299-h775-no/9_3_coding.jpg
[18:00] <ColonelPanic001> I like the one for latex
[18:02] <cmaloney> My only regret with LaTeX is I don't have many uses for it on a daily basis
[18:02] <cmaloney> but I know that if I ever decide to publish RPG stuff it'll all be done in LaTeX.
[18:03] <cmaloney> unless it's for Steve Jackson Games because they have some funky Word template they use.
[18:03] <cmaloney> ;)
[18:25] <lmorchard> cmaloney: Getting into Go?
[18:26] <brousch> rick_h_: I can't see that link since it looks like a link to your order. I guess this charger isn't wireless, just magnetic http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D8IC2IY/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
[18:26] <rick_h_> brousch: ah ic
[18:26] <rick_h_> http://www.amazon.com/Original-Cable-Google-Faster-Charge/dp/B00D7NZLK6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1391192799&sr=8-1&keywords=nexus+10+pogo+charger is what I got, something like it
[18:27] <brousch> looks similar, but without a dock
[18:27] <rick_h_> but yea, a pogo cable that's magnetic but no dock
[18:27] <rick_h_> I've got it in a case and such and not sure how a dock would work
[18:27] <rick_h_> because I want the case to stand it up when movie watching/playing games for the boy
[18:27] <rick_h_> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009RZPH1G/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1
[18:28] <brousch> I have that for N7
[18:28] <brousch> Well, similar
[18:28] <rick_h_> still fits in a dock?
[18:29] <brousch> No. The Touchpad has a wireless charging dock that makes it nice to grab and use
[18:29] <brousch> I wanted similar for the N10
[18:36] <cmaloney> lmorchard: Yeah, a little bit
[18:36] <cmaloney> If it's good enough for Nolan Bushnell to name his company after it I figure I should give it a go. ;)
[18:43] <brousch> http://laughingsquid.com/nasty-icons-a-collection-of-50-very-rude-vector-icons/
[18:49] <brousch> Replace bookie icons with those
[19:11] <jrwren> zomg, alt-left and alt-right changes windows? is this tmux default or byobu?
[19:11] <jrwren> its byobu
[19:11] <jrwren> pretty nice
