| brousch | cmaloney: I'm enjoying this Go game | 12:24 |
| cmaloney | brousch: Cool. :) | 12:34 |
| cmaloney | I'm finding more enjoyment in playing go than I have in playing chess. | 12:34 |
| cmaloney | Chess to me feels like a solved problem, or at least a series of opening moves that play out better than others. | 12:35 |
| cmaloney | Though JoDee and her sister are playing "chess" with friends. | 12:36 |
| cmaloney | so I've heard stories about "horsie", "the castle", and "the diagonal thingie" | 12:37 |
| brousch | I have not played much chess | 12:41 |
| cmaloney | Friend from high schoool named his machines after famous chess players | 13:00 |
| cmaloney | Alekhine, Kasparov | 13:00 |
| cmaloney | he was better than I was so I didn't provide much challenge for him | 13:01 |
| cmaloney | played against several chess computers. | 13:01 |
| cmaloney | Of course there were the off-the-shelf cheap chess computers from Excalibur that played incredibly naive chess at the lower levels, and took a lifetime to make a move at the higher levels. :) | 13:08 |

| cmaloney | That seems canned | 14:03 |
| cmaloney | ColonelPanic001: Sadly I think a lot of that equipment was still in use when I was there. | 14:05 |
| cmaloney | was re: https://www.flickr.com/photos/waynestateuniversity/14664659259/in/photostream/ | 14:05 |

| ColonelPanic001 | cmaloney: didn't know you went to wayne | 14:05 |
| cmaloney | I worked there at the CoE | 14:06 |
| cmaloney | under Cliff Stallings | 14:06 |
| ColonelPanic001 | ah, neat | 14:06 |
| ColonelPanic001 | I've only been in the building twice. CS dept. was part of the college of liberal arts and sciences until after I graduated | 14:07 |
| cmaloney | When were you a student there? | 14:07 |
| ColonelPanic001 | 2004-2008 | 14:08 |
| ColonelPanic001 | hired in C&IT in 2011 | 14:08 |
| cmaloney | Ah, long after I was there. | 14:08 |
| ColonelPanic001 | worked here 2011 - death | 14:08 |
| * cmaloney worked there from 1993ish to 1995. | 14:08 | |
| ColonelPanic001 | know any of the Thompson brothers? | 14:09 |
| cmaloney | ColonelPanic001: Didn't know you died yet. | 14:09 |
| ColonelPanic001 | cmaloney: eventually, if my plans for immortallity don't work out | 14:09 |
| cmaloney | I know of the Thompson Twins. ;) | 14:09 |
| cmaloney | But yeah, that's ringing a bell | 14:09 |
| cmaloney | got a photo? | 14:09 |
| ColonelPanic001 | I hope they do, though, because it'd be a huge waste of all this Blood of the Innocent | 14:09 |
| ColonelPanic001 | hm, hang on, trying to remember which works over there | 14:10 |
| ColonelPanic001 | I don't even know if he was there back then. | 14:10 |
| ColonelPanic001 | there's five of them working in the university, four of them currently in C&IT. | 14:10 |
| ColonelPanic001 | rob, david, michael, arg, who else? | 14:10 |
| cmaloney | Ah, we didn't do much with C&IT | 14:11 |
| ColonelPanic001 | there's one that's been over there a while, but who knows back then | 14:11 |
| ColonelPanic001 | Ah, Brian, I think it is | 14:11 |
| cmaloney | Brian Thompson? That name rings many a bell | 14:12 |
| cmaloney | Dude was a fucking electronics wiz. | 14:12 |
| ColonelPanic001 | that may be him. I don't really know him personally | 14:12 |
| ColonelPanic001 | his brother, Rob, is my boss | 14:12 |
| ColonelPanic001 | David is more or less "lateral" from me in another group | 14:12 |
| ColonelPanic001 | same more or less for Michael | 14:13 |
| ColonelPanic001 | the three I know are all great guys though, pretty bright. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Brian was an "electronics wiz" | 14:13 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, though I was witness to some funny stuff | 14:14 |
| ColonelPanic001 | (mildly) amusing story from Penguicon. One year I just had met a girl-i-know-in-high-school's boyfriend. I mentioned I worked at wsu (not even what division, etc). He says "Oh neat. Do you know Rob Thompson?" | 14:14 |
| cmaloney | Like the time they hooked a hard drive to a variable power supply. | 14:14 |
| ColonelPanic001 | it was a little twilight-zone-ish | 14:14 |
| ColonelPanic001 | hah | 14:14 |
| cmaloney | pro-tip: Chips can heat up enough to blow the top off of them. | 14:15 |
| ColonelPanic001 | haha | 14:15 |
| cmaloney | Not to mention the electrical arcing | 14:15 |
| ColonelPanic001 | this does sound like a thompson | 14:15 |
| cmaloney | God, fun times | 14:16 |
| cmaloney | Student-rate employment but man that was a great job | 14:16 |
| cmaloney | learned me a great UNIX there. | 14:16 |
| rick_h__ | party party | 14:16 |
| rick_h__ | one more day then HOLIDAY! | 14:16 |
| cmaloney | rick_h__: Awesome! | 14:16 |
| ColonelPanic001 | holiday? | 14:16 |
| rick_h__ | bah, vacation, damn europeans messing with me | 14:16 |
| ColonelPanic001 | I suspected that translation | 14:17 |
| cmaloney | hol-i-dayyyyyy | 14:17 |
| ColonelPanic001 | but thought maybe I missed something | 14:17 |
| ColonelPanic001 | I have a day off next week, but not for holiday stuff. Just doctory stuff. Not nearly as fun | 14:17 |
| ColonelPanic001 | saving up vacation time for November, when I'll be gone for weeks | 14:17 |
| ColonelPanic001 | and will probably start freaking out from lack of office | 14:17 |
| cmaloney | I can honestly say there haven't been many times I freaked out due to lack of office | 14:20 |
| ColonelPanic001 | I get bored | 14:20 |
| ColonelPanic001 | just not used to it | 14:20 |
| ColonelPanic001 | my honeymoon was probably the first time since I was 16 I had more than a week off of work||school | 14:21 |
| cmaloney | Try unemployment sometime. | 14:21 |
| cmaloney | It's the weirdest thing. Suddenly the weekends don't mean quite so much. | 14:21 |
| cmaloney | 'cept you get to hang out with your working friends. | 14:22 |
| ColonelPanic001 | I sorta tried once - when I was switching jobs, I tried to start a week after I'd leave the current one. They were pushy about starting sooner :\ | 14:22 |
| ColonelPanic001 | yeah, I don't imagine it's fun | 14:22 |
| cmaloney | Let's just say I watched way too much Jerry Springer | 14:22 |
| cmaloney | religiously. | 14:22 |
| ColonelPanic001 | as long as that time went to good use, then | 14:22 |
| cmaloney | Yep. Had all the time in the world to cure cancer and make the world a better place | 14:23 |
| cmaloney | but said "fuck it" and watched the world burn | 14:23 |
| ColonelPanic001 | oh good, I have this lump, may as well ask you abo... oh | 14:23 |
| * ColonelPanic001 zips up again then | 14:23 | |
| cmaloney | Have you always had it? | 14:23 |
| ColonelPanic001 | it's the weirdest thing - yes, and there's two of them | 14:24 |
| cmaloney | Hairy? | 14:24 |
| ColonelPanic001 | my god, you *are* an expert | 14:24 |
| cmaloney | I think you'll be fine. You're just an ass. :) | 14:24 |
| ColonelPanic001 | terminally | 14:24 |
| cmaloney | Well, it was either that or a male. | 14:25 |
| cmaloney | Depending on which way the moon goes. | 14:25 |
| ColonelPanic001 | heh | 14:26 |
| brousch | I feel like I could get so many projects done if I was unemployed during the school year | 14:29 |
| ColonelPanic001 | I always think that, but then I have a week off and I don't do crap | 14:29 |
| cmaloney | ++ | 14:30 |
| ColonelPanic001 | "oh man if I had six months without work I'd do so much cool stuff and work on some open source stuff, etc" | 14:30 |
| ColonelPanic001 | never happens | 14:30 |
| brousch | You just sit around and wank all day? | 14:30 |
| ColonelPanic001 | mostly | 14:30 |
| cmaloney | Have to eat sometime | 14:31 |
| ColonelPanic001 | I mean, eventually | 14:31 |
| rick_h__ | evening | 19:29 |
| brousch | Incorrect. It is 3:30pm in this channel | 19:30 |
| rick_h__ | :P | 19:31 |
| rick_h__ | /time | 19:31 |
| rick_h__ | 19:31 Freenoderajaniemi.freenode.net Thursday August 7 2014 -- 19:31:18 +00:00 | 19:31 |
| rick_h__ | hmm, seems 7:31pm to me | 19:31 |
| rick_h__ | in this channel :P | 19:31 |
| brousch | No. This channel is for Michigan. You will abide by Michigan time here. | 19:32 |
| rick_h__ | but I asked the channel what time it was? | 19:32 |
| brousch | I'm hooking electronic components to my RPi and controlling them with Python. This is fun and a different use of PYthon for me | 19:36 |
| jrwren | brousch: YAY! | 19:37 |
| brousch | Hm, maybe I can get this working as a tent security system for camping tomorrow | 19:38 |
| brousch | I have a passive IR motion sensor that triggers a camera right now. Need to add a flash for night time | 19:39 |
| greg-g | what's the word for unstated/ignored problems that... sacred cows, thanks | 19:57 |
| brousch | Random thought: Why do they not offer child care in movie theaters? | 20:18 |
| greg-g | brousch: million dollar idea there | 20:18 |
| brousch | You watch a movie while your kid plays/watches some other movie. Give the parent a vibrating pager for emergencies (to discourage constant phone checking) | 20:18 |
| brousch | I really don't see why this isn't a thing. Hardest part would be lining up correct number of sitters, but I think there would be plenty of full time licensed day care providers who would want to moonlight regularly. | 20:28 |
| brousch | Require a reservation to use the service and you know how many sitters you need | 20:29 |
| greg-g | Do you think people would do that instead of getting a sitter so they can also go out for a quick dinner before hand? | 20:29 |
| greg-g | or whatever | 20:30 |
| brousch | Yeah, often I just want to watch a movie and don't care about dinner | 20:30 |
| brousch | Finding a sitter for 3 hours can be annoying | 20:30 |
| greg-g | yeah | 20:30 |
| brousch | And then you have to monitor your phone in case there's a problem | 20:30 |
| greg-g | yeah | 20:30 |
| brousch | I think you could do it for roughly the price of a movie ticket per kid | 20:34 |
| jrwren | brousch: great idea! | 21:06 |
| jrwren | I find night care in general to be lacking in teh world. | 21:07 |
| jrwren | we have day care, why not night care? | 21:07 |
| brousch | Apparently 2 theater chains out west were doing it a few years ago | 21:58 |
