[00:36] <cmaloney> Set my twitter account to private and unfollowed everyone.
[00:36] <cmaloney> identi.ca and G+ for me. :)

[02:05] <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.
[02:06] <jrwren> but I had my computer off for 24hrs :)
[02:08] <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.
[02:09] <waf> i like twitter because you can disable retweets. i haven't found a way to disable reshares on google.
[02:10] <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.
[02:11] <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
[02:12] <cmaloney> So I've plonked a few political folks in circles that post less.
[02:23] <jrwren> did you curate your tweeps?
[02:28] <waf> you don't really have many options for curation on twitter.
[02:29] <waf> i guess it'd be pretty easy for twitter to add the concept of "g+ circles" though. they already have lists.
[02:31] <jrwren> you can unfollow.
[02:32] <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.
[02:33] <waf> G+ is like facebook, but with a little more control
[02:33] <waf> (ok, now i'm just trolling)
[02:39] <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
[02:42] <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
[02:59] <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.
[03:05] <jrwren> rick_h_: i've had a lot of those days lately. I figure its worth it as entertainment.
[03:06] <jrwren> gun control tweet eh? so someone shot someone, again. I don't want to know.
[03:07] <cmaloney> jrwren: I'm sure if you type news.google.com you'll see it as the top story.

[13:57] <rick_h_> hah https://bmark.us/bookiebot/recent
[13:57] <rick_h_> never know cmaloney and brousch_ would be tags
[13:57] <rick_h_> so there you go greg-g, might be a cool rss feed to sub to
[13:58] <rick_h_> https://bmark.us/bookiebot/rss
[14:08] <brousch_> geekers
[17:44] <cmaloney> Hah. I'm a tag now. :)
[17:44]  * cmaloney tries subscribing to it
[17:49] <cmaloney> How's the day so far?
[18:24] <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.
[18:25] <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
[18:26] <cmaloney> Heh

[18:29] <cmaloney> Ooooh
[18:30] <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
[18:35] <cmaloney> Yeah
[22:52] <brousch_> Good day at the Lake MI beach dog park
[23:03] <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
[23:04] <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
[23:05] <greg-g> :) how was the water temp?
[23:07] <brousch_> cold
[23:07] <brousch_> I thought too cold to swim, so I just wore shorts, but it wasn't that bad
[23:13] <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 :)
[23:19] <cmaloney> Too warm for me inside.
[23:20] <brousch_> I am afraid of sharks in the ocean
[23:20] <brousch_> And I hate the way salt water feels when it dries
[23:22] <greg-g> take a shower you dirty hippy
[23:25] <brousch_> Still feels like I'm covered in grit and whale spooge
