[04:09] <cmaloney> evening
[04:10] <rick_h_> yucky ride home
[04:10] <rick_h_> one idiot decided he'd just pull off to the side of the road (in the right lane) as I came up behind him
[04:11] <cmaloney> ugh
[04:11] <cmaloney> i think they aren't plowing or saltimg
[04:13] <rick_h_> I saw one truck up by the palace
[04:13] <rick_h_> doing the left shoulder
[04:13] <DrDaemonEye> cmaloney: I saw them starting to plow here in AA
[04:17] <cmaloney> ah, maybe they were waiting
[04:17] <cmaloney> rick_h_: glad you made it home OK
[04:17] <rick_h_> party
[04:22] <rick_h_> holy crap! https://twitter.com/PzFeed/status/535201421596315648
[04:23] <DrDaemonEye> cmaloney: probably... wanted to make sure the snow stopped before plowing it
[04:24] <DrDaemonEye> rick_h_: yep.  I heard the fire and police departments were making their rounds on foot due to the snow
[04:24] <rick_h_> what rounds? you'd be lucky to get to the mailbox before the end of your shift
[04:24] <DrDaemonEye> lol, true there
[04:25] <rick_h_> I want to see a national guard tank in that snow
[04:25] <rick_h_> 6ft of it?!
[04:25] <DrDaemonEye> lol.  Probably gotta figure out how to remove the gun and place a snowblower on said tank first.
[04:26] <rick_h_> flame thrower tank!
[04:26] <DrDaemonEye> hah!
[12:28] <cmaloney> rick_h_: Which noise-canceling headphones do you have / recommend?
[12:33] <cmaloney> Asking for a friend looking for recc.
[13:48] <brousch> Any opinions on Jolla and Sailfish OS? https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/jolla-tablet-world-s-first-crowdsourced-tablet
[13:50] <rick_h_> yay another mobile OS to find/need apps for and that won't integrate as well with everything else I own
[13:50] <rick_h_> is my summary
[13:50] <brousch> Linux-based. Looks like SDK is Qt
[13:51] <brousch> Someone people complain that the OS non-free components
[13:56] <cmaloney> Maemo was Qt based
[13:56] <cmaloney> so not sure that Qt is a selling point
[13:58] <brousch> Europeans seem excited
[14:01] <cmaloney> Europeans get excited over anything Qt related.
[14:01] <cmaloney> They were excited over the Nokia 770
[14:02] <cmaloney> "Designed in Finland"
[14:03] <brousch> Oh, it says it will run Android apps
[14:03] <cmaloney> Honestly it'd be news if something Qt was released that Europeans DIDN'T get excited about
[14:05] <cmaloney> "Blah blah is Qt based, yet curiously nobody in Europe seems to care. Experts are puzzled by this development. When asked about why nobody in Europe was interested in blah blah Simon Phipps was uncharacteristically mute on the subject."
[16:41] <brousch> Ah, Jolla tablet is on slashdot. Now i can get some real opinions
[16:45] <rick_h_> lol
[16:59] <cmaloney> hah
[17:19] <DrDaemonEye> w00t!  50 degrees on Monday!
[17:26] <cmaloney> Can't get here soon enough
[17:42] <greg-g> 54 and raining here now
[17:42] <greg-g> two days of rain is magical
[17:42] <greg-g> though, annoying for Rowan, of course
[18:19] <_stink_> current sys tarball is 885MB expanded
[18:19] <_stink_> plus the tarball itself is like 284MB
[18:19] <_stink_> so like 1.2GB total space for this
[18:19] <brousch> For what?
[18:19] <_stink_> haha
[18:19] <_stink_> mischan :()
[18:20] <brousch> I will sell this info to the highest bidder
[18:20] <_stink_> i offer 1 cent
[18:20] <_stink_> do i win?
[18:21] <brousch> So far
[18:21] <brousch> I'll need that in bitcoins
[18:22] <cmaloney> brousch: Here you go: 59dab820de33accd3f8f8dfc85ab8e8190120cb2cedd116a99ace284fc0ae535
[18:23] <cmaloney> Or better yet: 5de6dae923390954d17f0f27a72e5814aca8cc5ebb62e911240b7920bfa786db
[18:25] <brousch> Will I be arrested if I try those?
[18:26] <cmaloney> (That's the result of `echo "Please pay Ben Tiberius Rousch the amount of $.01 in Bitcoin funny money." | sha256sum`)
[18:27] <greg-g> :)
[18:27] <brousch> BitCoin is 4realzyo!
[18:28] <brousch> I made 11% profit on my bitcoins in 1 month
[18:28] <cmaloney> And you are currently doing what with them?
[18:29] <jcastro> jrwren, wanna go to washlug tonight?
[18:29] <brousch> Nothing. They are back in USD until I get brave again
[18:30] <cmaloney> Some faith. :)
[18:30] <jrwren> jcastro: no.
[18:30] <jrwren> jcastro: if I were leaving the house tonight, it would be for Nerd Night Ann Arbor.
[18:30] <jcastro> not my juju talk?
[18:30] <jcastro> I hate you
[18:31] <jrwren> jcastro: oh, is that the topic? sorry, I didn't know.
[18:31] <jcastro> it's ok, I got it
[18:31] <jrwren> jcastro: when was the last time you were at lugwash?
[18:31] <jcastro> going to do elasticsearch and maybe hadoop
[18:31] <jcastro> I dunno, a year ago or so?
[18:32] <jrwren> jcastro: ah, cool. I haven't been in at least 5, maybe 7 or 8.
[18:33] <brousch> Some Linux zealots you are!
[18:33] <cmaloney> When was the last time you were at MUG jcastro ? :)
[18:34] <jcastro> not _that_ long ago
[18:34] <brousch> I wonder if actually getting paid to work on Linux diminishes your community involvement.
[18:34] <jcastro> well, I also don't live there
[18:34] <cmaloney> Certainly cuts into the free time
[18:34] <jcastro> ann arbor is a haul from the rest of metro detroit
[18:34] <jrwren> brousch: we don't get paid to work on linux :p
[18:34] <jcastro> jill still thinks we live in royal oak and is like "We're going to my mom's for dinner"
[18:35] <jcastro> it's like, we don't like in RO, that's like an hour each way
[18:35] <cmaloney> jcastro: I lived in Belleville. I can relate.
[18:35] <brousch> That's silly. I got to MUG in 2 hours
[18:35] <cmaloney> brousch: That's because nobody drives west of Telegraph.
[18:35] <jrwren> i live in Ann Arbor. if it takes more than 15min to get there, it is too far.
[18:36] <jcastro> dude I can't even leave AA in less than 20 minutes
[18:36] <jcastro> traffic
[18:36] <jrwren> jcastro: you moved to the wrong side of town :p
[18:36] <jcastro> shrug
[18:36] <cmaloney> Sorry, I meant US-23
[19:10] <DrDaemonEye> jrwren: that is true about Ann Arbor.  :)
[19:11] <DrDaemonEye> Except for when there is a game... then it is within a half hour's walk.
[19:50] <brousch> Wow, I didn't think this game was over. It sure doesn't look like a win for me, but it is http://www.dragongoserver.net/game.php?gid=941896
[19:56] <cmaloney> It's all about the territory.
[19:57] <cmaloney> Not sure where you're getting that its a win for you
[19:58] <brousch> The lower right is all dead black
[19:58] <cmaloney> It's showing as contested on my screen
[19:58] <brousch> It was very tricky to not die
[19:58] <brousch> He is scoring it now
[19:59] <cmaloney> Even so, is that going to make up the difference?
[19:59] <brousch> Actually all of the blacks inside the white are dead
[19:59] <cmaloney> I'm not seeing the win
[20:00] <cmaloney> I'll be interested in seeing the final score.
[20:00] <brousch> It's about 56 to 64
[20:00] <brousch> 67
[20:00] <cmaloney> Wow
[20:00] <brousch> I wondered why he was being so persistent in there
[20:01] <brousch> I didn't think that was enough to win
[20:19] <brousch> cmaloney: Counted now http://www.dragongoserver.net/game.php?gid=941896
[20:21] <greg-g> what's komi?
[20:22] <cmaloney> It's a handicap for the player who goes second
[20:22] <greg-g> huh
[20:22] <cmaloney> brousch: Huh, interesting
[20:22] <cmaloney> It can also be used for players that are unevenly matched
[20:23] <cmaloney> but usually it's 6.5 points
[20:23] <cmaloney> eg. brousch gives me 3 stones handicap, but adjusts the Komi so it's less (3.5 points)
[20:23] <cmaloney> lots of ways to play with the final score.
[20:24] <brousch> I'm playing a series of 7x7 games with a 21k. We've adjust the komi so it is very close
[20:24] <brousch> 7x7 is interesting.
[20:25] <cmaloney> 7x7 must be insane with you
[20:25] <cmaloney> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Komidashi <- greg-g
[20:25] <brousch> Why with me?
[20:26] <cmaloney> It's a relatively recent addition to Go
[20:26] <cmaloney> brousch: You're a capturinig machine
[20:26] <cmaloney> I find if I miss one move with you I lose half my pieces.
[20:26] <brousch> It's hard to capture because the walls are so close
[20:26] <cmaloney> Right, but you're rather aggressive
[20:27] <brousch> apparently
[20:27] <brousch> I think that means I don't reinforce my position well ;)
[20:29] <mrgoodcat> i havent been playing as much as i'd like
[20:29] <mrgoodcat> i think the only games i'm in are with brousch and cmaloney right now actually
[20:29] <mrgoodcat> and i'm playing slow at that
[20:29] <brousch> cmaloney: I'm in u
[20:33] <cmaloney> blergh
[20:33] <cmaloney> brb
[21:47] <brousch> cmaloney: Maybe you're right. I feel a little sorry for this guy (start at move 91) http://www.dragongoserver.net/game.php?gid=942322
[22:17] <cmaloney> Hello from OCC
[22:27] <jrwren> oh hai
[22:45] <cmaloney> Man, this network is quite good
[23:08] <cmaloney> Someone here is trying to play the Tetris theme on the piano
