[13:43] <rick_h_> anyone have java on their machine and can help out https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/bookie_bookmarks/-dBjgd0hLR8 ?
[13:47] <brousch> rick_h_: What does Java have to do with it?
[13:52] <rick_h_> brousch: that irc thing is java driven
[13:53] <rick_h_> did you check out the image?
[13:53] <brousch> Bah, tell him to get a new client
[13:53] <brousch> You're coddling too much if you want to troubleshoot his IRC client
[13:54] <rick_h_> lol
[13:54] <rick_h_> so I should send the reply "your applications has been filtered...good luck"
[13:55] <brousch> It's really not your problem, and if he can't figure out how to connect to IRC there's little chance he will make the cut
[13:56] <brousch> Ideally all GSoC applicants have enough knowledge to help, but I've found out some of them know just enough to get through their classes
[13:57] <brousch> And of course they consume more of your resources trying to help on the project
[14:43] <brousch> KillerCode sorted it out I see
[14:43] <rick_h_> yea
[14:44] <rick_h_> and still can't listen. Had to tell him 3 times to use the public channel and don't PM me
[14:44] <rick_h_> can't all be winners :/
[15:35] <rick_h_> for brousch http://goldensnowglobe.com/current-top-10-snowiest-cities/
[15:55] <rick_h_> I think we're being displaced. I hardly recognize any of the names https://bmark.us/recent
[16:15] <jrwren> its a lot of test links.
[16:17] <jrwren> bookie123, qwerty98311, anuraag, saienthan why would you bmark google or bmark.us?
[16:27] <rick_h_> meh, it's new users trying it out
[16:27] <jrwren> true
[16:27] <rick_h_> yea, have to see how many are real users vs just those doing what GSoC told them to
[16:27] <rick_h_> first thing they do is click the "add bookmark" button and manually enter a url
[16:27] <cmaloney> Maybe that can be a project: figuring out active users. :)
[16:28] <rick_h_> heh, yea
[16:28] <rick_h_> do we know https://twitter.com/0x241 ?
[16:28] <cmaloney> Yep
[16:28] <cmaloney> That's ColonelPanic001
[16:28] <rick_h_> oh
[16:29] <ColonelPanic001> 0x241 is such a jerk
[16:29] <rick_h_> play hidden much?
[16:29] <cmaloney> Apparently he plays that more than Go. ;)
[16:29] <ColonelPanic001> crap
[16:30] <ColonelPanic001> I forgot about that. The phone hasn't been reminding me of that.
[16:30]  * ColonelPanic001 goes to the Go site
[16:30] <rick_h_> heh
[16:30] <cmaloney> No worries. :)
[16:31] <ColonelPanic001> there we go.
[16:32] <cmaloney> woo woo!
[16:32] <cmaloney> Yeah, I usually check it once a day.
[16:32] <ColonelPanic001> not sure if train or juggalo
[16:32] <rick_h_> huh? I'm confused
[16:32] <cmaloney> ColonelPanic001: hah
[16:33] <cmaloney> woo woo <- train or jugallo
[16:33] <cmaloney> juggalo,
[16:33] <cmaloney> Whatever. :)
[16:33] <ColonelPanic001> I'm not a stickler for ICP terminology
[16:33] <cmaloney> I get disappointed when I realize they're not metalheads.
[16:34] <cmaloney> then I get relieved that they're not metalheads.
[16:34] <ColonelPanic001> haha
[16:34] <cmaloney> Like finding out someone shares the last name but isn't related, then you're happy when you realize they're kind of a dick
[16:35] <ColonelPanic001> "oh look some black metal fans with corpsepa... wait a second"
[16:35] <jrwren> wicked clowns gonna get you if you disrespect their terminology
[16:36] <cmaloney> Don't care.
[16:36] <cmaloney> I'll just explain magnetism
[16:37] <jrwren> MAGIC you mean?
[16:37] <cmaloney> http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/fucking-magnets-how-do-they-work
[16:38] <ColonelPanic001> miracles all up in this bitch
[16:38] <jrwren> :)
[16:39] <ColonelPanic001> my neighbors probably think I'm a lazy bastard. I am, but still.
[16:39] <ColonelPanic001> Everytime it snows, my wife shovels. Right now I'm sitting under a blanket on a laptop in a warm living room drinking coffee
[16:40] <ColonelPanic001> my wife is out shoveling and scraping cars
[16:40] <cmaloney> My wife is doing her accounting homework
[16:40] <ColonelPanic001> it's only because she says it's just a bit of exercise and actually prefers to do it, but at least one neighbor has to have thought "doesn't that guy do anything?" by now
[16:40] <cmaloney> we've cut off the out side world
[16:40] <ColonelPanic001> cmaloney: mercy killing is the only reasonable option there.
[16:41] <ColonelPanic001> I had one accounting class, and the main thing I learned was I never wanted to do accounting again
[16:41] <rick_h_> ColonelPanic001: ++
[16:41] <cmaloney> ColonelPanic001: Well, she's learned never to take it at OCC Royal Oak because the head of the department is pretty psycho when it comes to technology
[16:41] <cmaloney> that and the whole class is online
[16:41] <ColonelPanic001> it was the third of the three "foundation classes" I took before I could start the "core" classes for an MBA. That class was the last one. It's not a coincidence
[16:42] <jrwren> ColonelPanic001: does she mow the lawn all the time too?
[16:42] <ColonelPanic001> no :(
[16:42] <ColonelPanic001> I do that one.
[16:42] <ColonelPanic001> We just bought the house in August, I'm re-learning habits I lost from apartment dwelling. like ever having to do anything outside ever.
[16:43] <rick_h_> lol
[16:43] <ColonelPanic001> 2013 was eventful. heh.
[16:43] <rick_h_> welcome to the out of doors
[16:43] <ColonelPanic001> is scary. someone turn down that light.
[16:43] <jrwren> ColonelPanic001: same here. condo to house. this was my first year shoveling since I was a teenager.
[16:44] <ColonelPanic001> I don't mind shoveling much, it's the lawn stuff. and fixing stuff. and everything else.
[16:44] <jrwren> i'm moderately handy. who knew?! :)
[16:44] <ColonelPanic001> I... am less handy. So far anyway.
[16:44] <ColonelPanic001> learning as I go.
[16:45] <ColonelPanic001> for example, now I know how to hire a company to replace a roof. There's something I'll need to do all the time.
[16:46] <cmaloney> Nah, get out there with hammers, nails, and shingles and do a little dance up there. :)
[16:47] <ColonelPanic001> I have to climb up there as it is and pop a piece of siding back in place, it's sticking out a little. I suspect my wife expects this to be certain death
[16:48] <ColonelPanic001> to be fair, I have the balance and grace of a drunken fish out of water
[16:48] <ColonelPanic001> but still. bad enough
[17:02] <cmaloney> heh
[17:12] <jrwren> ColonelPanic001: lol, I'd not tackle a roof. that does not make you not handy
[17:14] <rick_h_> +1
[17:14] <rick_h_> I'm not going to be doing my own roof any time soon but I think I'm partially handy
[17:14] <ColonelPanic001> I can snake a drain.
[17:14] <rick_h_> just have to do some faucets, outlets, light fixtures, etc. All good
[17:15] <ColonelPanic001> oh, and I did replace and wire an exhaust fan in the bathroom. took me all day but I didn't electrocute myself, so that's good
[17:15] <ColonelPanic001> I was holding onto the ground wire, literally, when I heard a crash of thunder though. heh
[17:16] <jrwren> can you rebuild a toilet? want to come do mine?
[17:17] <jrwren> electrocuting yourself isn't bad. I did it all the time when replacing outlets with the power on :)
[17:17] <rick_h_> :) same here
[17:17] <rick_h_> freaks my wife out but it's a good buzz
[17:19] <ColonelPanic001> I cannot replace a toilet. or at least, haven't done it yet
[17:19] <ColonelPanic001> I can't even get in mine. the counter is all one piece, and goes over it. I have no idea why someone thought that would work out
[17:20] <ColonelPanic001> so I can't even get the top to seat on top again. ugh
[17:20] <rick_h_> lol
[17:21] <rick_h_> yea, I had mine replaced but mainly because it wasn't that much to have them do it and they took care of disposal of the old one
[17:21] <ColonelPanic001> disposal? I figured it'd be a chair.
[17:21] <rick_h_> lol, needed another reading chair in the library!
[17:27] <ColonelPanic001> perfect
[17:27] <ColonelPanic001> use the tank as a beer cooler
[18:23] <jrwren> i wrote a book review: http://jrwren.wrenfam.com/blog/2014/03/02/book-review-beaglebone-robotics-projects/
[18:24] <jrwren> omg, i just moved snow and over did it. my lungs hurt for a bit there.
[18:24] <jrwren> this snow isn't even that heavy
[18:33] <rick_h_> ouch
[18:39] <jrwren> i guess I'm outta shape
[18:39] <jrwren> i need muh bike!!!
[20:04] <cmaloney> heh
