| * genii sips his coffee and wonders where aruna is | 17:58 | |
| * BobJonkman is out of coffee | 18:05 | |
| genii | Ouch :( | 18:05 |
|---|---|---|
| * BobJonkman knows about the free coffee at Alio tonight, though | 18:05 | |
| genii | BobJonkman: I put up about 20-25 notices around on public notice boards, laundromats, etc, so hopefully we'll get a few stragglers | 18:06 |
| BobJonkman | My day is shot. Stayed up too late last night trying to get a GO schedule. Man, that site is #Javascrippled! | 18:07 |
| BobJonkman | So, slept in this morning, too late to catch a train to Toronto. | 18:08 |
| BobJonkman | Still have to go to Guelph to get a paper schedule, maybe Milton too. Trying to find an optimal transit route to Toronto that doesn't require me to be up at 4:50am | 18:08 |
| genii | Geez 4:50am! | 18:10 |
| BobJonkman | I have to be in Toronto at Yonge and Carlton by 9:00am, but the Kitchener GO train that arrives prior to that leaves at 5:49am; it's just about an hour to get to Kitchener GO with the GRT Bus, so I'd have to leave here at 4:49am. And I'm not even sure that there's even a bus that leaves that early. | 18:15 |
| BobJonkman | Either way, coming home the last bus from Kitchener to Elmira leaves the station around 6:00pm, and there's no GO train that can get me here that early. So while it might be possible to get there, there's no way to get back. | 18:17 |
| genii | BobJonkman: I have a similar dilemma every year tring to get back and forth from Apsley for family vacation. It's something like 3 buses a week. | 18:19 |
| BobJonkman | And the government wonders why transit is so under-utilized in Ontario | 18:19 |
| genii | Yep. | 18:20 |
| BobJonkman | Just correlated the GRT schedule with GO Transit. First bus leaves Elmira at 6:10am (but not from the usual stop, but a 20min walk from here), arrives at Conestoga Mall at 6:35am, the downtown Kitchener bus leaves at 6:40am, arrives at a stop (a 5min walk from the train station) around 7:03am; last GO train leaves at 7:08am to get me to Union at 9:08am, add a 10 minute subway ride to College station, a couple of blocks walk along | 18:32 |
| BobJonkman | And no way to get back. | 18:32 |
| genii | Almost worth it to do CarShare or something | 18:34 |
| BobJonkman | We've got a good Carshare co-op here, but they don't allow one-way trips. If I take the carshare car from Elmira then I need to book it until I return it here. I can't drop it off at the train station carshare spot | 18:36 |
| BobJonkman | I'd have to find someone who needs to go from the KW train station to Elmira, so the car comes back. Then they'd take the car again coming home, and I'd return it coming back. The carshare guys tell me there are 12hr shift nurses who commute that way. | 18:38 |
| BobJonkman | I'll probably end up driving to the Guelph GO station, and parking there for the day. Hence my need to go there to scope out the parking and ticket situation | 18:38 |
| BobJonkman | Is there a fusermount option to see what I've currently got mounted with sshfs? | 18:41 |
| genii | Not that I know of. ... but shouldn't just mount by itself tell you? | 18:45 |
| 21WAAHQW8 | genii yes, but mount is full of system/kernel mounts that I didn't put there. I was hoping for a list of just the stuff that I mounted | 18:48 |
| 21WAAHQW8 | Anyway, going AFK for a while. | 18:49 |
| 21WAAHQW8 | Happy afternoon to everybodeee! | 18:49 |
| genii | OK. Good luck with the travel plans! | 18:49 |
| azend|vps_ | <BobJonkman> Still have to go to Guelph to get a paper schedule, maybe Milton too. Trying to find an optimal transit route to Toronto that doesn't require me to be up at 4:50am | 18:57 |
| azend|vps_ | google maps has all transit information except greyhound | 18:57 |
| azend|vps_ | It's not foss but it'll get you there | 18:58 |
| genii | I guess because Greyhound, Grey Coach, Coach Canada, etcetera are private companies and mybe not really considered public transit.... | 18:58 |
| azend|vps_ | genii: I think it's just because those companies are harder to reach | 18:59 |
| azend|vps_ | via is in there | 18:59 |
| azend|vps_ | LAS got me thinking I should set up a local package mirror | 19:01 |
| azend|vps_ | hmm | 19:01 |
| genii | BobJonkman1: Looks like the venue owner decided to take a 4 day weekend and not tell me, after I repeatedly asked him if he was SURE he was going to be open today. Also not reachable by his cell. | 22:21 |
| BobJonkman1 | Oh, wow. | 22:21 |
| genii | Going to wander by again a couple minutes and see if anyone's in there yet. If not I'll end up putting a note on the door sending them tot he office ( that's about all the choice there is at this point.... ) | 22:22 |
| BobJonkman1 | Try the Yueh Tung across the street (corner of Elizabeth and Dundas). | 22:23 |
| BobJonkman1 | They've got a nice big dining room, upstairs | 22:23 |
| genii | BobJonkman1: They had some family trip he didn't tell me about. There is a guy who is his backup opening up just now. I need to get a move-on to go set up, bbl | 22:28 |
| * genii makes a fresh batch of coffee | 23:48 | |
| genii | BobJonkman1: Aruna and I are sitting in Alio with an inflatable penguin and some coffee | 23:49 |
| BobJonkman1 | Say "Hi" to Aruna and the penguin for me! | 23:49 |
