[14:27] <netritious> wheeeee
[14:38] <wrst> yep netritious, crazy few days for freenode
[16:04] <netritious> how's the weather there wrst? cold and wet here
[16:05] <wrst> same here netritious
[16:05] <wrst> some fog freezing this morning but supposed to warm up
[16:10] <netritious> wife asked "what about the food in the fridge if the power goes out?"
[16:10] <netritious> I said put it in a cooler and stick it outside lol
[16:11] <wrst> ha ha exactly :)
[16:11] <wrst> or just pull the car outside and put it in the back seat :)
[16:11] <wrst> had one day I left my lunch in my truck... only problem was it didn't need to be frozen
[16:11] <wrst> -8 outside will freeze leftovers in a hurry :)
[16:12] <netritious> lol
[16:13] <netritious> did you catch the superbowl wrst? I know Peyton Manning didn't
[16:14] <wrst> ha ha yeah
[16:14] <wrst> that was pretty lame
[16:14] <wrst> I actually watched it on the online feed on my laptop for the last half
[16:14] <wrst> from bed
[16:14] <wrst> I had an exciting superbowl sunday :)
[16:18] <netritious> lol me too, I hung out with the family at home and ate Memphis BBQ. The /only/ reason we watched was b/c my daughter asked. Ok, begged really, for about a week. That's how non-committal I was about it.
[16:18] <wrst> ha ha I love football, but hate the superbowl
[16:18] <wrst> the conference championship games are usually the best football
[16:18] <wrst> I don't like half time shows
[16:18] <netritious> who do you root for wrst?
[16:18] <wrst> of course you can lock me in a room and i can watch baseball without end
[16:19] <wrst> titans in NFL and I suppose I root for UT when it comes to college football, I'm not over committed to either
[16:19] <wrst> I'm a much larger baseball fan
[16:19] <wrst> you netritious?
[16:20] <netritious> If i were to root it would be for the Bears. That was my team way way back in the day, you know, when they were winning and everyone did the Super Bowl Shuffle. ;)
[16:21] <netritious> that's when I got into football...was about 13 I guess.
[16:21] <wrst> yep I remember that
[16:21] <wrst> and of course the great saturday night live skits
[16:22] <netritious> ha ha yeah, brings back memories of good times ...lots of BBQ :)
[16:22] <wrst> ha ha BBQ is always a good time
[16:25] <netritious> I was lazy and bought it...didn't want to stand in the cold and check a grill.
[16:26] <wrst> I can't do it like what you buy
[16:26] <wrst> so I just don't attempt
[16:26] <wrst> and we have a pretty decent little place about a mile from us so... :)
[16:31] <netritious> yeah, being just outside Memphis there are lots of places to pick from that are nearby.
[16:31] <netritious> Do people still think Memphis when they think about BBQ? Or just the blues now ;)
[16:37] <netritious> btw twayneprice, thanks for the link about dogecoin. I think I'm just going to stick to paper money for now, and fewer graphic adapter cards. More network adapter cards instead. :)
[16:42] <twayneprice> netritious: :)  I do wish I had got a few bitcoins when they were less pennies per coin.  :)
[16:44] <netritious> Me too twayneprice :)
[16:46] <wrst> I'm greedy I wish I had a few hundred :)
[17:25] <netritious> At least we aren't the guy that mined 10,000 BTC then gave them away for pizza!
[18:06] <twayneprice> True!  If you had a bunch it would be quite stressful deciding when to cash out.
[18:08] <wrst> twayneprice: not for me... NOW! :)
[18:08] <wrst> take the money and run!
[18:09] <twayneprice> :)  Some estimates say that it will get above $100k per bitcoin.
[18:11] <wrst> wow
[18:55] <wrst> twayneprice: AIO wireless dropped rates today, ting dropped rates on data yesterday
[18:55] <wrst> that aio 40 buck deal is pretty tempting
[19:14] <twayneprice> wrst: everybody's dropping prices: http://money.cnn.com/2014/02/02/news/companies/att-price/
[19:14] <wrst> everyone but verizon ?
[19:14] <wrst> att seemed to set everything in motion
[19:17] <twayneprice> I thik verizon did too.
[19:17] <twayneprice> http://www.verizonwireless.com/wcms/consumer/shop/shop-data-plans/single-line-data-plans.html
[19:17] <wrst> oh goodness
[19:17] <wrst> well I don't trust verizon :)
[19:18] <wrst> they raised rates so they could lower them some how
[19:18] <wrst> I have heard several people argue that the market is mature so prices are bound to be what people compete on
[19:34] <twayneprice> Me either.  But V is the king in our are.
[19:37] <wrst> I really don't know why other than marketing
[19:37] <wrst> sprint has been fine for me
[19:37] <wrst> and according to the maps ATT should be nearly as good as verizon around here
[20:13] <twayneprice> ATT is bad.  I have that from work and I'm considering just paying for my own phone with V.  I have spotty coverage at home and I have no coverage at church 1 mile away.
[20:13] <twayneprice> wrst: do you ever fail over to V?
[20:17] <wrst> twayneprice: rarely, have one spot on HWY 84 neary 293  that verizon doesn't work well either and I think I'm actually on US Cellualar there as I have good coverage when I "roam"
[20:17] <wrst> that's it locally
[20:17] <wrst> I have LTE in cookeville and livingston only other issue I have is no data between sparta and mcminnville
[20:18] <wrst> but have LTE when I get to mcminnville, voice is great, I'm guessing sprint has an agreement with veizon or us cellular there to use data off their towers or something, or may be the towers that haven't been updated yet
[20:18] <wrst> so may just be my tri-band enabled phone not working well with the towers
[20:21] <twayneprice> I was getting ready to try ting until I saw the new V pricing.  I may still go with ting but it does make it a harder choice.
[20:23] <wrst> ting updated their pricing yesterday
[20:23] <wrst> cut data and rearranged some things
[20:23] <wrst> for me not a big difference but for a big data user
[20:23] <wrst> could make a difference
[20:32] <wrst> twayneprice: I was close to messing with some ATT prepaid guess there is no use in that, their maps don't look so bad
[20:33] <twayneprice> I was thinking of ting for my wife.  A little texting, a little voice, and very little data.
[20:33] <wrst> can't beat it for that perfect for that
[20:34] <twayneprice> Yup.  As long as it works (voice) when needed.
[20:34] <wrst> my use would likely make more sense somewhere else maybe, but in our area I don't like not being able to roam on other carriers
[20:34] <wrst> not that I ever need it, but that's one thing about ATT I'm guessing there's nothing for it to roam to when you don't have signal?
[20:35] <twayneprice> Nope.  No bars and absolutely no service.
[20:37] <wrst> only gsm carrier in the area
[20:37] <wrst> bad part of being in cdma territory
[20:37] <wrst> would love to have the fexibility of gsm phones
[20:38] <wrst> of course the nexus 5 I have that but you never know if google will keep making phones like that or not
[20:40] <twayneprice> Yup.
[21:09] <wrst> if google keeps up these type of phones I can be happy, but I should be good for 18 months or so on a phone a lot will change by then
[21:16] <wrst> twayneprice: any ideas on good prepaid iphone for our area?
[21:28] <twayneprice> wrst: not sure.  I did see a StraightTalk 4s at Walmart.
[21:28] <wrst> yeah she has a 5 right now couldn't ever go backwards :)
[21:33] <twayneprice> Ahh.  :)  I think Net10 has one.
[21:34] <wrst> too many decisions... may just be easier to keep her on verizon.. not for sure
[21:35] <twayneprice> Yup.  It's painful.
[21:36] <wrst> the bill sure is
