| cmaloney | Set my twitter account to private and unfollowed everyone. | 00:36 |
|---|---|---|
| cmaloney | identi.ca and G+ for me. :) | 00:36 |

| bookiebot | http://goo.gl/0oYmfj - Finally off of Twitter. | Craig Maloney | 00:49 |
| jrwren | not sure why G+ is better than twitter. | 02:05 |
| jrwren | what blow-up and what tragedy at UCSB? | 02:05 |
| jrwren | hehe, I missed it. | 02:05 |
| jrwren | but I had my computer off for 24hrs :) | 02:06 |
| cmaloney | jrwren: Yeah, you can't miss it | 02:08 |
| cmaloney | And G+ because I personally like the threading better | 02:08 |
| cmaloney | and reshares are a little more sane than retweets | 02:08 |
| cmaloney | twitter was a reshare-fest. | 02:08 |
| waf | i like twitter because you can disable retweets. i haven't found a way to disable reshares on google. | 02:09 |
| cmaloney | I should have done that on Twitter. | 02:10 |
| waf | i've asked a couple of knowledgeable google+ users, and it seems like it's just not possible | 02:10 |
| cmaloney | It became an echo-chamber. | 02:10 |
| cmaloney | waf: I think G+ makes it a little less obnoxious. | 02:10 |
| waf | nope. not in my experience. | 02:11 |
| cmaloney | Hm. | 02:11 |
| waf | i get a lot of random stuff i don't care about in G+ | 02:11 |
| cmaloney | Sorry. :) | 02:11 |
| waf | :) you share geeky stuff, so that's ok | 02:11 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, and I curate my circles | 02:11 |
| cmaloney | So I've plonked a few political folks in circles that post less. | 02:12 |
| jrwren | did you curate your tweeps? | 02:23 |
| waf | you don't really have many options for curation on twitter. | 02:28 |
| waf | i guess it'd be pretty easy for twitter to add the concept of "g+ circles" though. they already have lists. | 02:29 |
| jrwren | you can unfollow. | 02:31 |
| waf | yeah, and i unfollow aggressively. but cmaloney was talking about having some circles show up more frequently than others | 02:32 |
| jrwren | hell, I /ignore certain people in certain IRC channels I participate in. | 02:32 |
| jrwren | i'm a G+ noob. | 02:32 |
| waf | G+ is like facebook, but with a little more control | 02:33 |
| waf | (ok, now i'm just trolling) | 02:33 |
| jrwren | oh facebook! now that is something I want to be rid of :p | 02:39 |
| rick_h_ | there are days when work is so busy I miss wtf happened on twitter/etc and I wonder if it's actually adding anything | 02:39 |
| rick_h_ | I do find out about cool stuff once in a while, but not sure if it was worth it in the end | 02:39 |
| waf | eh, it's all who you follow. i only saw one retweet about gun control. and that was it for today's news. | 02:42 |
| waf | i also tend to unfollow people who tweet about software drama | 02:42 |
| rick_h_ | waf: yea, definitely. I do go in waves and believe a lot of what you see is your own doing | 02:42 |
| cmaloney | Agreed. I followed a bunch of Pycon folks and that included some folks that would otherwise have infuriated me. | 02:59 |
| cmaloney | But it got more intense with other circles that I follow on Twitter | 02:59 |
| cmaloney | and decided to just nuke the whole thing from orbit. | 02:59 |
| jrwren | rick_h_: i've had a lot of those days lately. I figure its worth it as entertainment. | 03:05 |
| jrwren | gun control tweet eh? so someone shot someone, again. I don't want to know. | 03:06 |
| cmaloney | jrwren: I'm sure if you type news.google.com you'll see it as the top story. | 03:07 |

| brousch_ | geekers | 14:08 |
| cmaloney | Hah. I'm a tag now. :) | 17:44 |
| * cmaloney tries subscribing to it | 17:44 | |
| cmaloney | How's the day so far? | 17:49 |
| rick_h_ | zzzzz, zoo trips make for sleepy dady | 18:24 |
| rick_h_ | daddy | 18:24 |
| cmaloney | Heh | 18:24 |
| cmaloney | How was the trip? | 18:24 |
| rick_h_ | good, it's busy and such there | 18:24 |
| rick_h_ | but good trip, first one of the year | 18:24 |
| cmaloney | JoDee mentioned something about 4/3 something something? | 18:24 |
| cmaloney | Couldn't figure out what that was. | 18:24 |
| rick_h_ | yea, makes me wish I had a better camera with interchangeable lenses | 18:24 |
| rick_h_ | the zoo animals are just outside of snapshot camera range so often | 18:24 |
| cmaloney | Ah, so it was a reference to a camera lens. | 18:24 |
| cmaloney | Yeah | 18:25 |
| rick_h_ | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_Four_Thirds_system | 18:25 |
| bookiebot | http://goo.gl/vTsD - Micro Four Thirds system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | 18:25 |
| rick_h_ | well a form factor of camera | 18:25 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, I've come to realize that none of my cameras are good for zoo pictures | 18:25 |
| rick_h_ | but I've been pondering something nicer for traveling and such | 18:25 |
| cmaloney | I'd need some zoom lenses and $$ | 18:25 |
| rick_h_ | this just got the juices flowing again | 18:25 |
| cmaloney | Heh | 18:26 |

| cmaloney | Ooooh | 18:29 |
| cmaloney | I wish I carried a camera more often than my cellphone | 18:30 |
| cmaloney | have two cameras that are essentially gathering dust. | 18:30 |
| rick_h_ | yea, which is why I don't wnt to go back to DSLR | 18:30 |
| rick_h_ | too big, never take it with me | 18:30 |
| cmaloney | They'll lilely be the last things we pack because I'll forget where they are. | 18:30 |
| rick_h_ | but I pocket my rx100 often enough when doing things with the family | 18:30 |
| rick_h_ | or in the outer pocket of my backpack | 18:30 |
| cmaloney | Yeah | 18:35 |
| brousch_ | Good day at the Lake MI beach dog park | 22:52 |
| greg-g | brousch_: awesome temp/sun, but way too windy at the beach here today. I mean, it was fine until Rowan got sand in his eyes a few times | 23:03 |
| brousch_ | It was 79F with a very light breeze | 23:04 |
| brousch_ | Scattered one of our dog's ashes at his favorite spot | 23:04 |
| greg-g | oh man | 23:04 |
| greg-g | sorry ma | 23:04 |
| greg-g | n | 23:04 |
| brousch_ | And fresh water, none of that salt water crap | 23:04 |
| greg-g | :) how was the water temp? | 23:05 |
| brousch_ | cold | 23:07 |
| brousch_ | I thought too cold to swim, so I just wore shorts, but it wasn't that bad | 23:07 |
| greg-g | yeah, here it's a mix of people in wet suits and crazy teenages in the water. The rest of us just hang out in the sand :) | 23:13 |
| cmaloney | Too warm for me inside. | 23:19 |
| brousch_ | I am afraid of sharks in the ocean | 23:20 |
| brousch_ | And I hate the way salt water feels when it dries | 23:20 |
| greg-g | take a shower you dirty hippy | 23:22 |
| brousch_ | Still feels like I'm covered in grit and whale spooge | 23:25 |
