Have things I need to get done. [01:32] Laterness. [01:35] night [02:18] cmaloney: sad. work sucked me in tonight [02:18] things to finish before being gone all next week [02:18] who showed up? [02:52] widox: No worries. [02:53] It was myself and Earl (person from MUG) [02:53] Evan, rather. [02:53] Bah, my brain no workie. :) [12:24] cmaloney: Any idea about the geeker who commented on the MUG youtube video and is asking for my contact info? [12:26] Ah, linkedin makes it more clear http://www.linkedin.com/in/sharankalwani [12:26] http://goo.gl/dV8RGH - Sharan Kalwani | LinkedIn [12:29] Fermilab o_O [12:32] mornin [12:35] Yeah, Sharan is a good guy. [12:42] Morning [12:46] Good morning [13:20] 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] http://goo.gl/26uXfR - Amazon.com: Go Board with Wood Bowls and 8mm Thick Glass Stones: Sports & Outdoors [13:21] how is that "Sports & Outdoors" i wonder?... [13:25] geez. Expensive [13:26] yea i would hope to find a better deal [13:26] my brother wants to learn to play now too [13:47] brousch: I got the following board: [13:48] http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GH3D3EE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 [13:48] http://goo.gl/jWovR6 - Amazon.com: 9x9 / 13x13 - 3/8'' Beginner's Learning Board and Stones Set: Toys & Games [13:49] Has enough pieces for a 19x19 game [13:53] Though you'll need a separate 19x19 board, but you can go as nuts with that as you want. [13:54] 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] cmaloney: I subscrbed to MUG discuss. Let me know when I've been approved [14:21] I think you're automatically approved. [14:22] I'm not seeing your account in there [14:23] Wait, there we go [14:23] Yeah, you're a member. [14:26] It sent my password to me in plain text. You fail and should be ashamed of yourself. [14:27] It's mailman. [14:45] plain text password? What is this, Perl Monks? :-p [14:47] hah [14:57] So is anyone else participating in "Social Media Blackout" day? [15:03] Never heard of it [15:03] Maybe they should use social media to get the word out better [15:03] heh [15:06] true dat [17:14] wolfger: I can never quite figure out your plans in Go [18:25] mrgoodcat: I think the game is done. I can't really make a stand behind your line [18:35] ok [18:35] i was unsure if you would have any more tricks [18:41] I'm not that good [18:41] It's one of those technically-possible but practically impossible things [18:42] I should have snuck out of the top or bottom right earlier [18:43] It ended up really close because you closed those off effectively [18:44] wow [18:44] it is close [18:45] what dead stones did i miss? [18:45] i just passed to end the game, this is the first i've seen of scoring [18:47] g13 and e5 are dead [18:47] Ah, maybe I had to mark dead first [18:48] ah crap [18:48] It's OK, it bounces back and forth until we agree [18:48] wow 3.5 is brutally close [18:49] Yes [18:51] invited again. i assume 13 is still ok with you? [18:53] afternoon [18:53] from NY [18:55] rick_h_: Closer to $HOME timezone. :) [18:55] 13 works well [18:55] rick_h_: Welcome back to civilization [18:56] cmaloney: yea, in right TZ, still a bunch a miles away [18:56] America/Detroit is the proper TZ. ;) [18:56] bah, you can drive home in less than a day. That's close [18:57] NY is a differen box to select :P [19:02] NY is not civilization. [19:05] heh, it's something [19:06] it was cool to fly over the statue of liberty on the way in [19:06] better than flying into ATL as I was supposed to [19:06] except I'd be getting ready to board for my flight home from ATL :/ [19:09] that does sound cool [19:16] mrgoodcat: With your pace of improvement you could very well beat me this game [19:17] I had a brousch sighting in my rss reader :P [19:17] My fame grows! [19:18] Your fame as MUG presenter, or as Go player? [19:19] Mike Driscoll's Python Dev of the Week! [19:19] ^ [19:20] 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] hah [19:21] 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] and to learn enough from this failed game that I might actually beat cmaloney [19:22] wolfger: Hm, well you understand that my main structure is invincible right now because it has 2 eyes (f6, g7)? [19:24] 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] 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] heh [19:29] So really that game is over, but you might want to practice building a 2 eye structure to hold the upper left [19:29] 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] stall and wait for you to make a mistake or throw me a bone ;-) [19:32] I'm starting to sound like the random geekers who destroy me now [19:36] 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] It's easy to miss because on the surface that seems almost like an eye [19:49] wolfger: don't worry. i made a mistake that may very well have cost me the game last time [19:49] not sure how it would have worked out in the end but i gave up a huge piece of territory [20:06] wolfger: I'll finish off this side then attack the upper left to see if I can break it ;) [20:06] cmaloney: would be proud, played my first game of dominion during the sprint [20:06] was a bit crazy but interesting [20:16] 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] brousch: aggressive start there [20:20] Games seem to start once the corners are claimed [20:46] wrote my own yubikey checking server for the python door lock today [20:46] nice! [20:46] 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] the yubikey authentication server was a bit heavy for my needs on the pi [20:49] time to head home [21:30] rick_h_: Very cool! [21:30] cmaloney: :) [21:31] rick_h_: We'll have to get you on the Star Realms bandwagon. ;) [21:34] cmaloney: hah [21:35] cmaloney: I did this one for the drinking so you'll have to incentivize :) [22:43] I think that can be arranged. :)
