gamerchick02i'm a bad linux user... currently running OSX on the macbook and windows 8 on the desktop.01:16

cmaloneyI'll send out a note to the mailing list and the Google Plus community about the Global Jam.01:22
gamerchick02sweet, thank you01:22
gamerchick02a good reminder01:22
cmaloneyThe only other item that I had for discussion was Ohio Linuxfest01:23
cmaloneyApparently the Ohio folks aren't getting a booth this year, and the rules for the booths (afaik) require about $100 to rent one01:23
cmaloneywhich means we're not doing a booth. :)01:23
gamerchick02geez01:24
cmaloneyYeah.01:27
cmaloneyAnyone planning on coming to OLF?01:27
gamerchick02i don't think i am. that's getting close to our Christmas Bazaar and i need to work on the box of jewelry that is on my mom's end table.01:29
gamerchick02putting it together, i mean01:29
jsjgruber-xI can't manage going this year either--I've got two things going on in Ann Arbor01:30
=== sellers is now known as cgseller

_stink_anyone here have a recommendation for printing business cards?  I want a pretty small number (like 100-200 maybe?)02:41
_stink_whether it's some new fangled internet company or brick and mortar near royal oak doesn't matter to me.02:42
rick_h__stink_: I just used my local print02:43
rick_h_probably wasn't the cheapest for fastest but nice folks and it was 400ft from my front door02:43
_stink_ok cool02:53
_stink_there's a place on 14 mile here i'll try if nothing better comes up02:53
_stink_thanks02:54
cmaloneyI used Vistaprit for the Ubuntu MI cards03:30
cmaloneythey try to upsell you on shipping but they're local03:31
_stink_like expedited shipping?03:34
_stink_or like in a gold box?03:34
cmaloney_stink_: Like expedited shipping09:41
cmaloneyApparently work is running on generators13:08
cmaloneyso no AC13:08
brousch_Does that make a shirt-optional day?13:09
wolfgeropen a window. It's not hot outside. :-p13:09
jrwren_its cold outside here. I'm all bundled up with my open windows.13:10
brousch_jrwren_: Very good advice: protect yourself when you have Windows up.13:11
wolfger++13:11
jrwren_brousch_: hahahahaha13:11
wolfgercmaloney: if you're hot, just walk into the server room. That should fix that.13:12
brousch_I think that was a fake laugh13:12
wolfger<rocket> That was a real laugh! </rocket>13:12
wolfgerOn a side note: why do people consider unintentional laughter "real" and intentional laughter "fake"? That doesn't quite make sense.13:14
cmaloneyYeah, I'm wondering if I should pack up and try working from home13:20
wolfgerNever a bad idea.13:32
cmaloneyUnfortunately the remote network to my machine from home is slower than shit.13:33
cmaloneynot sure what's the issue.13:34
=== ColonelPanic002_ is now known as ColonelPanic001
brousch_Detroit http://www.freep.com/article/20140905/NEWS01/309050185/Detroit-fire-pop-can-fax14:41
cmaloney-That's insane.14:43
brousch_OCP is not looking so bad now14:44
wolfgerNice product placement for Faygo, there.15:00
cmaloneyI'm sure they drink nothing but Faygo there15:03
cmaloneyhell, it's probably donated.15:03
jrwren_I watched the first episode of Continuum last night, the 2012 tv show, not the 90s tv show. It makes OCP look friendly.15:26
brousch_Any good?15:28
jrwren_I'll watch episode 2.15:28
jrwren_Its scifi cop action, and I'm pretty tired of those.15:28
jrwren_Its got a great cast. And it doesn't lie about Vancouver, they actually claim to be there!15:29
brousch_heh15:29
wolfgerok, so, what is OCP?15:51
brousch_What? How can you live in Detroit and not know robocop?15:59
brousch_http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RoboCop_(franchise)#Omni_Consumer_Products15:59
wolfgerGot it. I just totally lost the context when it was first compared to the Detroit Fire Department, and then to a TV show.16:07
jrwren_in the movie OCP bought the city and didn't adequately fund the police.16:14
cmaloneyI wonder if Detroit has thought about using dead cops as a back-up police force.16:16
cmaloneyWouldn't have to pay pensions / benefits.16:17
jrwren_cmaloney: for some reason my mind went to ghosts, not robots.16:35
cmaloneyzombies would also work16:36
wolfgerWhy not? They use dead voters...17:07
