[00:14] I'd believe it [00:14] Sorry for missing another CHC, but decided to rip up the carpet downstairs since it wasn't drying all day. [00:15] Good thing we did. It's jute under there. Shit never dries. [00:55] cmaloney: same situation here [01:22] ooooh, pycon in portland? damn it's so hard to justify going though [03:29] rick_h__: it's your favorite computer language and community? :) [11:29] cmaloney: and in my fav city now :/ [11:30] and hey, a real TZ in a real house on a real network yay me [12:58] rick_h__: Welcome back [13:19] thanks, good to be back to the land of the living [13:35] Oh that will still take time. :) [13:35] Few nights sleep and I'll consider you back. :) === ColonelPanic002_ is now known as ColonelPanic001 [16:13] tada! [16:13] What's up, my long-lost people? [16:15] Hey wolfger! [16:15] Welcome back [16:25] Just realized that since I'm no longer on the Chrysler network, I can try logging in at work again. [16:25] :-) [16:26] We'll see how the new evil overlord feels about IRC sometime next week. [16:30] it'sa wolfger?! [16:38] <_stink_> a rare sighting in the wild. [16:46] It'll be frequently sighted at Michigan Homebrew Festival this weekend, though. ;-) [16:48] nice [16:48] the subtitle of the event is (or should be) "Getting plastered, 4 ounces at a time!) [16:49] at least, that's how last year went [17:01] http://www.bbc.com/news/business-28790807 [17:01] Yeah, that's how Brufest is for me [17:01] At least it is when they have Black Note. [17:01] Which they sadly neglected to bring this year [17:28] Nice BBC story. Let's all pay more to get an advantage over the poor. [17:29] ...which we soon will be for paying these stupid fees [17:29] unthinkable that a company might, you know, try to actually improve customer service to the level at which it used to exist. [17:40] Well, what happens when everyone pays? ;) [17:41] what are we paying for? [17:41] moar toys?! [17:41] support [17:41] http://www.bbc.com/news/business-28790807 [17:43] like the times when the "limited edition" of something is more plentiful than the regular edition [17:43] heh [17:44] well, to be fair, if .50 gets me to the front of the line... [17:44] now, the trick will be if they give that option when there is no line [17:44] and just pocket .50 each time someone calls :) [17:44] likely [17:44] ah, so cynical...and probably right :) [17:45] you're at the front of the line? Mission accomplished. [17:45] we never garaunteed there would be a line [17:45] just that you would be the front of it [17:45] Only that you would be somewhere near the front of it [17:45] I think they should have reverse auction priority [17:45] front of the line starts at $50 [17:46] any takers? $45 [17:46] etc. [17:46] Or perhaps a conference call [17:46] That would be swell [17:46] Here's the "down below" section of the call queue. [17:46] You can pay a little more for some peace and quiet. [17:47] .np squeekyhoho [17:48] Bah, I missed Chc last night and forgot to tell Dan that his bot and he were AWOL [17:49] http://www.last.fm/music/Christopher+Franke/_/Marcus+on+Death+Watch+%2F+The+Final+Strike+%2F+Scouting+Mars+Targets+%2F+Main+Title [17:49] There is no queue. If you pay extra, they'll take your call instead of letting you listen to the "on hold" recording. :-) [17:51] 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*. [17:53] wolfger: But that costs money [17:53] 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. [17:57] Yeah, I was using it as well [17:57] It made sense at the time, but unfortunately I think it was a big money sink [17:57] not enough uptake [17:57] and better services [17:57] (competing) [17:58] The whole U1 Streaming thing didn't excite me, though I put the blame on the stupid licensing of the music companies. [17:58] The subscription fee on top of paying for the service was pretty redundant. [18:00] wolfger: where you been man? that was announced in February? [18:00] jrwren: In case you hadn't noticed, wolfger has been living in another land [18:00] was living in another land [18:00] the great city-state of Chrysler. [18:02] 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 ;-) [18:03] 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. [18:04] Ford seems to be a generally nicer place to work (after all of 2 days there), so I'm hoping. [18:05] WEll, Ford hasn't had three disparate sets of owners. [18:05] each more paranoid than the last [18:14] Heh. Yeah. Their latest move was to completely disable Outlook Web Access. VPN or no mail for you. [18:15] wolfger, you must be mixing me up with someone else [18:15] I've never talked up U1 file sync [18:15] OK, sorry about that. I guess I need a RAM upgrade. [18:42] jcastro: Did you go to bigalora? how was it? [18:45] delicious [18:45] how was your birthday? [18:45] jcastro: It was good. I'm glad to hear that the place is good. [20:51] <_stink_> is this old news? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cupsys/+bug/255161/comments/28 [20:53] I thought I remembered seeing something about it [20:53] <_stink_> pretty funny. [20:53] _stink_: is it still an issue? [20:53] <_stink_> naw, just got a link from a very shady character [20:53] Yeah, `file` is a precarious beast. [20:54] * _stink_ glares at ColonelPanic001 [20:54] Oh, you mean the guy who doesn't play Go? :) [20:54] * _stink_ glares at ColonelPanic001 again [20:55] SHUSH YOU [20:56] I have no notification for it :\ [20:56] BW go sucks, just less than all other alternatives [21:02] There's a way to turn on email notification [21:02] Though not 100% sure how to do that [21:02] But that's how I keep notified. [21:27] Just leave it open in a tab and check it [21:27] And accept my challenge
