| cmaloney | I'd believe it | 00:14 |
|---|---|---|
| cmaloney | Sorry for missing another CHC, but decided to rip up the carpet downstairs since it wasn't drying all day. | 00:14 |
| cmaloney | Good thing we did. It's jute under there. Shit never dries. | 00:15 |
| trevlar | cmaloney: same situation here | 00:55 |
| rick_h__ | ooooh, pycon in portland? damn it's so hard to justify going though | 01:22 |
| cmaloney | rick_h__: it's your favorite computer language and community? :) | 03:29 |
| rick_h__ | cmaloney: and in my fav city now :/ | 11:29 |
| rick_h__ | and hey, a real TZ in a real house on a real network yay me | 11:30 |
| cmaloney | rick_h__: Welcome back | 12:58 |
| rick_h__ | thanks, good to be back to the land of the living | 13:19 |
| cmaloney | Oh that will still take time. :) | 13:35 |
| cmaloney | Few nights sleep and I'll consider you back. :) | 13:35 |

| wolfger | tada! | 16:13 |
| wolfger | What's up, my long-lost people? | 16:13 |
| cmaloney | Hey wolfger! | 16:15 |
| cmaloney | Welcome back | 16:15 |
| wolfger | Just realized that since I'm no longer on the Chrysler network, I can try logging in at work again. | 16:25 |
| wolfger | :-) | 16:25 |
| wolfger | We'll see how the new evil overlord feels about IRC sometime next week. | 16:26 |
| greg-g | it'sa wolfger?! | 16:30 |
| _stink_ | a rare sighting in the wild. | 16:38 |
| wolfger | It'll be frequently sighted at Michigan Homebrew Festival this weekend, though. ;-) | 16:46 |
| cmaloney | nice | 16:48 |
| wolfger | the subtitle of the event is (or should be) "Getting plastered, 4 ounces at a time!) | 16:48 |
| wolfger | at least, that's how last year went | 16:49 |
| cmaloney | http://www.bbc.com/news/business-28790807 | 17:01 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, that's how Brufest is for me | 17:01 |
| cmaloney | At least it is when they have Black Note. | 17:01 |
| cmaloney | Which they sadly neglected to bring this year | 17:01 |
| wolfger | Nice BBC story. Let's all pay more to get an advantage over the poor. | 17:28 |
| wolfger | ...which we soon will be for paying these stupid fees | 17:29 |
| wolfger | unthinkable that a company might, you know, try to actually improve customer service to the level at which it used to exist. | 17:29 |
| cmaloney | Well, what happens when everyone pays? ;) | 17:40 |
| rick_h__ | what are we paying for? | 17:41 |
| rick_h__ | moar toys?! | 17:41 |
| cmaloney | support | 17:41 |
| cmaloney | http://www.bbc.com/news/business-28790807 | 17:41 |
| cmaloney | like the times when the "limited edition" of something is more plentiful than the regular edition | 17:43 |
| rick_h__ | heh | 17:43 |
| rick_h__ | well, to be fair, if .50 gets me to the front of the line... | 17:44 |
| rick_h__ | now, the trick will be if they give that option when there is no line | 17:44 |
| rick_h__ | and just pocket .50 each time someone calls :) | 17:44 |
| cmaloney | likely | 17:44 |
| rick_h__ | ah, so cynical...and probably right :) | 17:44 |
| cmaloney | you're at the front of the line? Mission accomplished. | 17:45 |
| greg-g | we never garaunteed there would be a line | 17:45 |
| greg-g | just that you would be the front of it | 17:45 |
| cmaloney | Only that you would be somewhere near the front of it | 17:45 |
| cmaloney | I think they should have reverse auction priority | 17:45 |
| cmaloney | front of the line starts at $50 | 17:45 |
| cmaloney | any takers? $45 | 17:46 |
| cmaloney | etc. | 17:46 |
| cmaloney | Or perhaps a conference call | 17:46 |
| cmaloney | That would be swell | 17:46 |
| cmaloney | Here's the "down below" section of the call queue. | 17:46 |
| cmaloney | You can pay a little more for some peace and quiet. | 17:46 |
| cmaloney | .np squeekyhoho | 17:47 |
| cmaloney | Bah, I missed Chc last night and forgot to tell Dan that his bot and he were AWOL | 17:48 |
| cmaloney | http://www.last.fm/music/Christopher+Franke/_/Marcus+on+Death+Watch+%2F+The+Final+Strike+%2F+Scouting+Mars+Targets+%2F+Main+Title | 17:49 |
| wolfger | There is no queue. If you pay extra, they'll take your call instead of letting you listen to the "on hold" recording. :-) | 17:49 |
| wolfger | Now if paying extra guaranteed me somebody who speaks English as a first language *and* who isn't working off a script.... I might just pay that. Maybe. Except there's that whole principle that we should have that service *anyway*. | 17:51 |
| cmaloney | wolfger: But that costs money | 17:53 |
| wolfger | By the way, who was it in here that really talked up Ubuntu One all those years ago? Was that jcastro? WTH, man? They shut it down. | 17:53 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, I was using it as well | 17:57 |
| cmaloney | It made sense at the time, but unfortunately I think it was a big money sink | 17:57 |
| cmaloney | not enough uptake | 17:57 |
| cmaloney | and better services | 17:57 |
| cmaloney | (competing) | 17:57 |
| cmaloney | The whole U1 Streaming thing didn't excite me, though I put the blame on the stupid licensing of the music companies. | 17:58 |
| cmaloney | The subscription fee on top of paying for the service was pretty redundant. | 17:58 |
| jrwren | wolfger: where you been man? that was announced in February? | 18:00 |
| cmaloney | jrwren: In case you hadn't noticed, wolfger has been living in another land | 18:00 |
| cmaloney | was living in another land | 18:00 |
| cmaloney | the great city-state of Chrysler. | 18:00 |
| wolfger | Yeah, this was announced a long time back, and more recently went into final effect, but I just haven't been around to bitch about it til now ;-) | 18:02 |
| wolfger | My Chrysler project ended, so I'm a little freer today. Working on in-house stuff and also a Ford project. Not sure yet if Ford banhammers IRC. | 18:03 |
| wolfger | Ford seems to be a generally nicer place to work (after all of 2 days there), so I'm hoping. | 18:04 |
| cmaloney | WEll, Ford hasn't had three disparate sets of owners. | 18:05 |
| cmaloney | each more paranoid than the last | 18:05 |
| wolfger | Heh. Yeah. Their latest move was to completely disable Outlook Web Access. VPN or no mail for you. | 18:14 |
| jcastro | wolfger, you must be mixing me up with someone else | 18:15 |
| jcastro | I've never talked up U1 file sync | 18:15 |
| wolfger | OK, sorry about that. I guess I need a RAM upgrade. | 18:15 |
| jrwren | jcastro: Did you go to bigalora? how was it? | 18:42 |
| jcastro | delicious | 18:45 |
| jcastro | how was your birthday? | 18:45 |
| jrwren | jcastro: It was good. I'm glad to hear that the place is good. | 18:45 |
| _stink_ | is this old news? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cupsys/+bug/255161/comments/28 | 20:51 |
| cmaloney | I thought I remembered seeing something about it | 20:53 |
| _stink_ | pretty funny. | 20:53 |
| cmaloney | _stink_: is it still an issue? | 20:53 |
| _stink_ | naw, just got a link from a very shady character | 20:53 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, `file` is a precarious beast. | 20:53 |
| * _stink_ glares at ColonelPanic001 | 20:54 | |
| cmaloney | Oh, you mean the guy who doesn't play Go? :) | 20:54 |
| * _stink_ glares at ColonelPanic001 again | 20:54 | |
| ColonelPanic001 | SHUSH YOU | 20:55 |
| ColonelPanic001 | I have no notification for it :\ | 20:56 |
| ColonelPanic001 | BW go sucks, just less than all other alternatives | 20:56 |
| cmaloney | There's a way to turn on email notification | 21:02 |
| cmaloney | Though not 100% sure how to do that | 21:02 |
| cmaloney | But that's how I keep notified. | 21:02 |
| brousch | Just leave it open in a tab and check it | 21:27 |
| brousch | And accept my challenge | 21:27 |
