wafisn't portland super rainy?00:05
rick_h_yes why yes it is and I like the rain :)00:06
rick_h_first thing every says like it's a bad thing. I've got to turn the lawn sprinklers on tomorrow because the sun is nuking my crappy grass00:06
wafhahaha, ok. well then it sounds perfect00:06
wafscrew grass, we should all make like san diego-ians (?) and replace grass with green rocks.00:07
wafdon't have to water rocks.00:07
cmaloneyI want to replace my grass with solar panels00:08
jrwrenreally?00:08
jrwrengrass needs water already?00:08
rick_h_yea, I live in retiree area where they have their manucured lawns and it's golf course green00:09
cmaloneyjrwren: Certain grasses do00:09
jrwrenI'm cursing all the rain we've been getting because I have to mow too often.00:09
cmaloneyjrwren: ++00:09
jrwreni can't wait for august :)00:09
jrwrenless mowing00:09
rick_h_jrwren: yea, we've got sandy soil here. So all that water runs away down to the wetlands behind the house00:09
jrwrenah, sandy soil.00:09
rick_h_so for 3' from the edge of my property it's green and tall00:09
jrwrenyou could build up that soil over a few years00:09
rick_h_the rest is quickly browning fail00:09
rick_h_yea, I talked to the retired guy across the street once00:10
rick_h_they had 18" excavated and filled with topsoil and then had the lawn laid out00:10
jrwren18"!!!00:10
jrwrenthat seems excessive00:10
rick_h_no idea, I heard that and went "yea...that's nice"00:12
cmaloneyYeah, that's a bit much00:27
krondorso last night you guys were saying about rain? looks like it's rain the rest of the week12:10
brousch__lovely12:23
brousch__Good light show last night12:23
rick_h_no sprinklers this week then woot!12:23
* krondor curses rain god rick_h_ for killing yet another week of biking fun12:33
brousch__You can bike in the rain. Don't be a wuss.12:35
rick_h_krondor: time for fenders :)12:36
krondorit's mountain biking and scary biker guys will kick your ass if you mess up the trails in the mud12:38
brousch__How would they know it's you?12:40
mrgoodcatkrondor: mud riding is some of the best12:41
mrgoodcatdo you have a set of fattys?12:41
krondorabsolutely it's ufn.  No fattys, but I'm on 2.2" width so they don't sink too bad12:42
krondorthese guys (cramba) in our area maintain a lot of the park trails; http://www.cramba.org/2012/11/29/ride-dirt-trails-not-mud-trails/12:42
bookiebothttp://goo.gl/MsmWGj - Ride Dirt Trails, Not Mud Trails. | CRAMBA-IMBA12:42
mrgoodcatI ride my dad's moonlander in the mud sometimes12:43
mrgoodcatsince i volunteer to help maintain the trail i don't feel too bad12:43
krondormrgoodcat:  nice, I'm a mooch but always think of helping.12:45
krondorI also think the mud damage probably highly depends on the type of trail and the riding style12:45
krondorI'm probably too slow to cause any real harm lol12:46
mrgoodcaton a moonlander it is pretty difficult to really mess up the trail12:46
mrgoodcatthe tire is 4.5" or something in that range12:46
mrgoodcat4.812:47
krondoryeah that's a lot of surface area to spread weight out.  Is it hard to peddle that thing?12:49
mrgoodcatnah not too bad12:50
mrgoodcati don't ride it very often though12:50
mrgoodcatusually i'm just on my diamondback12:50
mrgoodcatreally any time you would be riding the moondlander it is actually *easier* because you're in soft terrain that would be a total bitch on a normal tire12:51
krondoryeah that makes sense12:53
brousch__Why is it so dark outside?13:03
cmaloneyApparently the storms last night scared our alarm clock13:23
mrgoodcatcmaloney: mine too13:40
cmaloneyYeah, I woke up only a few minutes ago13:41
jrwrenwow.13:50
_stink_gah13:52
_stink_what is the current 'right' way to build .debs?  suddenly i have a reason to do it again and those tools and the advice for using them seem to change like every 8 days.13:53
_stink_google is useless.13:53
_stink_the current version in 14.04 is broken and the bug is in launchpad and is fixed upstream.  i presume i apt-get source the package, apply the fix, but then what?13:54
cmaloney_stink_:Your best bet would be to find a debian developer to do it for you13:54
cmaloneyI hear they like whiskey.13:54
_stink_haha13:55
_stink_oh how many angry feelings about packaging this dredges up.13:56
jrwren_stink_: there is not "right" way except what works for you.13:57
jrwren_stink_: are you doing it for internal use, or for PPA or for inclusion in universe?13:57
_stink_jrwren: first for personal use, but if i can make a ppa at least until the official one gets updated i want to.13:58
jrwren_stink_: "then what?"  A: run debuild13:58
_stink_i know i have to do the keys and stuff for a ppa13:58
_stink_ok cool.13:58
_stink_what is dpkg-buildpackage, then?13:58
_stink_they appear to do the same thing13:59
_stink_but some say to use one, others the other13:59
jrwrennot just that, but you have to rev the pkg version in debian/changelog and either update the original tar.gz which apt-get source fetched, or apply the patch in the debian/ dir13:59
jrwrendebuild does a bunch of checks and eventually runs dpkg-buildpackage for you13:59
_stink_*thank you*.13:59
_stink_that is what i needed13:59
jrwrenif you don't care about hte checks, you can use dpkg-buildpackage and skip debuild13:59
_stink_i like checks13:59
jrwrenthe checks are stuff you need to get it into a PPA14:00
jrwrenheck, I think PPA runs debuild, so that has to at least succeed locally14:00
_stink_jrwren: thank you for making me less angry14:00
jrwrenyou are welcome.14:00
jrwrenanytime you have dpkg questions, I'll try to help. I've gotten beyond nub status and into dangrous on this topic14:00
_stink_hah, perfect.14:01
cmaloney_stink_: See, all it takes is a little whiskey. ;)14:30
mrgoodcatmmm whisky14:32

greg-gI clicked ow.ly links so you don't have to17:37
brousch__Gee, thanks :P17:37
greg-g:P17:38
cmaloneyi wish I could figure out why my fucking machine keeps pausing every few seconds17:42
cmaloneyit is driving me insane17:42
cmaloneyls -al17:43
cmaloneyheh17:44
greg-gbrousch__: OMG THAT BUILDING WAS DEMOLISHED BY THE STORM?!?!!?!?!!17:46
brousch__You mean the car shredding machine next door?17:49
greg-gwow, codespaces.com17:50
greg-gbrousch__: yeah17:50
greg-gbrousch__: also, awesome, you have a car shredding machine next door?!17:50
greg-gthough, that must suck for concentration17:50
brousch__It does. It vibrates our entire building all day long and explodes every month when they forget to empty a gas tank17:51
greg-glol17:52
brousch__It's always funny the first time that happens after a new employee starts17:53
cmaloneynice17:54
brousch__They think a bomb went off while the rest of us ignore it as routine17:54
greg-g....until the real bomb goes off17:54
greg-gshit, hi NSA17:54
greg-gI may have a beard, but I'm not the enemy17:55
cmaloneyI'm about 3 seconds from smashing my computer18:01
cmaloneyfucking pauses are really pissing me off18:01
greg-g:(18:02
cmaloneyand of course because hulk smash, hulk managed to break the stupid little tabs that raise the keyboard18:02
greg-g:(18:02
cmaloneyHappens whenever I reboot my computer and I have no clue why it does it18:02
cmaloneyeventually it just ges away.18:03
cmaloneyLittle things are really setting me off today.18:03
greg-gI feel ya18:03
brousch__pauses?18:07
cmaloneyYeah, it'll just stop, like an SSH connection18:07
brousch__I had behavior like that on my old computer. I finally figured out it was Akondi indexing all the things on my hard drive18:07
cmaloneyThat might be helpful if I'd ever touched something KDE-related. :)18:08
brousch__Is there not a Gnome equivalent?18:08
cmaloneyNot that I'm aware of18:09
cmaloneymore frustrating: whatever is happening isn't logging anything18:09
greg-gtracker-something18:12
greg-gcmaloney: there is18:12
cmaloneyI'm not running it18:12
greg-gcheck (or uncheck) the boxes in the Search tab in your settings18:12
* greg-g nods18:12
jrwrengreg-g: the only thing that terrifies me more than your beard is the US government :p18:14
cmaloneyAnd only a little bit18:14
jrwrencmaloney: iotop show IO per process?18:15
greg-gjrwren: :P18:16
jrwrengreg-g: Burgers in bacon grease?!?!?! wtf?!?!?!18:18
greg-gjrwren: well, we just got done making 4 slices of bacon, what'd you want us to do with it? :)18:21
jrwrenyou know, your hippie status would like double, if you were vegetarian.18:23
greg-gI used to be! then Carrie went paleo18:23
jrwrenugh.18:24
jrwreni'm anti paleo18:25
greg-g:)18:25
cmaloneyYeah, I'm not a fan of paleo18:26
cmaloneyI think it's a ridiculous variant of Atkins18:27

jrwrenmy fad diet is beer and salad greens.18:32
jrwrenbecause once I have had enough beer, i odn't care what I eat, I just want more beer.18:32
brousch__Really? I drink 1, 2 beers at most. Then don't want any more18:32
jrwreni love beer.18:32
jrwrenbut no, not really.18:32
cmaloneybtw: Does anyone have a leopold keyboard that they're not using the flip-out feet on? :)19:47
cmaloneyAsking for a friend.19:47
