[02:53] <cmaloney> Evan, rather.
[02:53] <cmaloney> Bah, my brain no workie. :)
[12:24] <brousch> cmaloney: Any idea about the geeker who commented on the MUG youtube video and is asking for my contact info?
[12:26] <brousch> Ah, linkedin makes it more clear http://www.linkedin.com/in/sharankalwani

[12:35] <cmaloney> Yeah, Sharan is a good guy.
[12:42] <wolfger> Morning
[12:46] <cmaloney> Good morning
[13:20] <mrgoodcat> wtb http://www.amazon.com/Board-Bowls-Thick-Glass-Stones/dp/B000ZIVLDC/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1413465542&sr=8-10&keywords=goban
[13:20] <bookiebot> http://goo.gl/26uXfR - Amazon.com: Go Board with Wood Bowls and 8mm Thick Glass Stones: Sports & Outdoors
[13:21] <mrgoodcat> how is that "Sports & Outdoors" i wonder?...
[13:25] <brousch> geez. Expensive
[13:26] <mrgoodcat> yea i would hope to find a better deal
[13:26] <mrgoodcat> my brother wants to learn to play now too
[13:47] <cmaloney> brousch: I got the following board:
[13:48] <cmaloney> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GH3D3EE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
[13:48] <bookiebot> http://goo.gl/jWovR6 - Amazon.com: 9x9 / 13x13 - 3/8'' Beginner's Learning Board and Stones Set: Toys & Games
[13:49] <cmaloney> Has enough pieces for a 19x19 game
[13:53] <cmaloney> Though you'll need a separate 19x19 board, but you can go as nuts with that as you want.
[13:54] <cmaloney> Make sure you get a board that's larger than 13" though. I have several of those boards. They're cheap but they are really tiny.
[14:17] <brousch> cmaloney: I subscrbed to MUG discuss. Let me know when I've been approved
[14:21] <cmaloney> I think you're automatically approved.
[14:22] <cmaloney> I'm not seeing your account in there
[14:23] <cmaloney> Wait, there we go
[14:23] <cmaloney> Yeah, you're a member.
[14:26] <brousch> It sent my password to me in plain text. You fail and should be ashamed of yourself.
[14:27] <cmaloney> It's mailman.
[14:45] <wolfger> plain text password? What is this, Perl Monks? :-p
[14:47] <cmaloney> hah
[14:57] <cmaloney> So is anyone else participating in "Social Media Blackout" day?
[15:03] <brousch> Never heard of it
[15:03] <brousch> Maybe they should use social media to get the word out better
[15:03] <cmaloney> heh
[15:06] <wolfger> true dat
[17:14] <brousch> wolfger: I can never quite figure out your plans in Go
[18:25] <brousch> mrgoodcat: I think the game is done. I can't really make a stand behind your line
[18:35] <mrgoodcat> ok
[18:35] <mrgoodcat> i was unsure if you would have any more tricks
[18:41] <brousch> I'm not that good
[18:41] <brousch> It's one of those technically-possible but practically impossible things
[18:42] <brousch> I should have snuck out of the top or bottom right earlier
[18:43] <brousch> It ended up really close because you closed those off effectively
[18:44] <mrgoodcat> wow
[18:44] <mrgoodcat> it is close
[18:45] <mrgoodcat> what dead stones did i miss?
[18:45] <mrgoodcat> i just passed to end the game, this is the first i've seen of scoring
[18:47] <brousch> g13 and e5 are dead
[18:47] <brousch> Ah, maybe I had to mark dead first
[18:48] <mrgoodcat> ah crap
[18:48] <brousch> It's OK, it bounces back and forth until we agree
[18:48] <mrgoodcat> wow 3.5 is brutally close
[18:49] <brousch> Yes
[18:51] <mrgoodcat> invited again. i assume 13 is still ok with you?
[18:53] <rick_h_> afternoon
[18:53] <rick_h_> from NY
[18:55] <cmaloney> rick_h_: Closer to $HOME timezone. :)
[18:55] <brousch> 13 works well
[18:55] <cmaloney> rick_h_: Welcome back to civilization
[18:56] <rick_h_> cmaloney: yea, in right TZ, still a bunch a miles away
[18:56] <cmaloney> America/Detroit is the proper TZ. ;)
[18:56] <brousch> bah, you can drive home in less than a day. That's close
[18:57] <rick_h_> NY is a differen box to select :P
[19:02] <jrwren> NY is not civilization.
[19:05] <rick_h_> heh, it's something
[19:06] <rick_h_> it was cool to fly over the statue of liberty on the way in
[19:06] <rick_h_> better than flying into ATL as I was supposed to
[19:06] <rick_h_> except I'd be getting ready to board for my flight home from ATL :/
[19:09] <jrwren> that does sound cool
[19:16] <brousch> mrgoodcat: With your pace of improvement you could very well beat me this game
[19:17] <rick_h_> I had a brousch sighting in my rss reader :P
[19:17] <brousch> My fame grows!
[19:18] <wolfger> Your fame as MUG presenter, or as Go player?
[19:19] <brousch> Mike Driscoll's Python Dev of the Week!
[19:19] <rick_h_> ^
[19:20] <wolfger> also, brousch can't figure out my plans in Go because I don't have anything recognizable as a plan. ;-)  I'm flying by the seat of my pants here, and have been for a while.
[19:20] <rick_h_> hah
[19:21] <wolfger> my "plan" is to lose as well as possible without making any more really idiotic mistakes like the one I made early on.
[19:21] <wolfger> and to learn enough from this failed game that I might actually beat cmaloney
[19:22] <brousch> wolfger: Hm, well you understand that my main structure is invincible right now because it has 2 eyes (f6, g7)?
[19:24] <brousch> I think you are trying to capture my little sideways cross, but I think that's not possible because it has 3 liberties, but I only need 1 or 2 to kill most of your stones
[19:28] <brousch> I will play f3, which will take your small group and let me connect to my main structure. If you block that, I will play f2 then g1 taking most everything. If you block g1, I will play j1 for the same effect
[19:28] <cmaloney> heh
[19:29] <brousch> So really that game is over, but you might want to practice building a 2 eye structure to hold the upper left
[19:29] <wolfger> Yes, I'm more or less trying to just capture territory, but at the same time I have to be very mindful of your potential to capture my pieces, which leads me to try to stage an offensive against you, but I'm a step or two too far behind to do anything other than stall you it seems.
[19:30] <wolfger> stall and wait for you to make a mistake or throw me a bone ;-)
[19:32] <brousch> I'm starting to sound like the random geekers who destroy me now
[19:36] <wolfger> so now looking at the board and everything you just said... f3 I did not even think of, and it totally ruins what I thought I had a tiny chance to pull off... :-p
[19:38] <brousch> It's easy to miss because on the surface that seems almost like an eye
[19:49] <mrgoodcat> wolfger: don't worry. i made a mistake that may very well have cost me the game last time
[19:49] <mrgoodcat> not sure how it would have worked out in the end but i gave up a huge piece of territory
[20:06] <brousch> wolfger: I'll finish off this side then attack the upper left to see if I can break it ;)
[20:06] <rick_h_> cmaloney: would be proud, played my first game of dominion during the sprint
[20:06] <rick_h_> was a bit crazy but interesting
[20:16] <brousch> wolfger: You are 2 stones from having a practical double eye. If you complete that it will be much harder for me to take the upper left
[20:20] <mrgoodcat> brousch: aggressive start there
[20:20] <brousch> Games seem to start once the corners are claimed
[20:46] <mrgoodcat> wrote my own yubikey checking server for the python door lock today
[20:46] <brousch> nice!
[20:46] <mrgoodcat> now i don't need to auth to a separate service and i don't need to run the full yubikey authentication server on the pi for the door lock
[20:47] <mrgoodcat> the yubikey authentication server was a bit heavy for my needs on the pi
[20:49] <mrgoodcat> time to head home
[21:30] <cmaloney> rick_h_: Very cool!
[21:30] <rick_h_> cmaloney: :)
[21:31] <cmaloney> rick_h_: We'll have to get you on the Star Realms bandwagon. ;)
[21:34] <rick_h_> cmaloney: hah
[21:35] <rick_h_> cmaloney: I did this one for the drinking so you'll have to incentivize :)
[22:43] <cmaloney> I think that can be arranged. :)
