| cmaloney | Good morning | 13:03 |
| wolfger | It's Friday? | 13:05 |
| wolfger | No. It's not. Ergo, not a very good morning. :-P | 13:05 |
| cmaloney | har har | 13:11 |
| wolfger | Sorry. I'm grumpy. Yesterday should have been Friday in my opinion. I hate unproductive days. | 13:13 |
| brousch | cmaloney: Did you mugged last night at the coffee shop? | 13:14 |
| brousch | get mugged? | 13:14 |
| jrwren | today should be tues or wed. this week going way to fast. | 13:14 |
| cmaloney | brousch: Nope, your bro-in-law was making sure of it. | 13:16 |
| wolfger | jrwren: you can have the rest of my week, and I'll start the weekend now. | 13:16 |
| brousch | Excellent | 13:16 |
| wolfger | if I'm going to do nothing useful, I'd prefer to do it at home, in front of a book or a video game | 13:17 |
| wolfger | Still getting Launchpad e-mails from bugs I triaged back in 2008. So sad. "Expired for linux (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 | 13:23 |
| wolfger | days." | 13:23 |
| jrwren | wolfger: :( | 13:24 |
| jrwren | wolfger: what were the bugs? do they still exist? | 13:24 |
| brousch | wolfger: Heh, I got one of those a month ago | 13:25 |
| wolfger | This one that I just got was specific to a particular model of Sony Vaio. | 13:25 |
| wolfger | Xubuntu 8.10 intrepid ibex was freezing the laptop shortly after boot | 13:27 |
| wolfger | So yeah... real edge-case stuff | 13:28 |
| wolfger | But others are not. Here is probably the saddest bug I still get notices on: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/38131 | 13:30 |
| wolfger | 2006 to 2015 with no solution | 13:31 |
| brousch | Ah, mine was from 2012. Not as bad as yours. And it was resolved | 13:33 |
| wolfger | Resolved, resolved? Not closed as invalid or will-not-fix? | 13:35 |
| rick_h_ | morning | 13:35 |
| wolfger | morning | 13:36 |
| jrwren | that is really a firefox bug eh? and it still haunts you? | 13:37 |
| wolfger | Er... uh... the e-mails still haunt me. | 13:38 |
| wolfger | I switched to Chromium | 13:38 |
| jrwren | ha! | 13:38 |
| wolfger | kept trying to switch to Konqueror, but.... #$%$^@%$^$ | 13:39 |
| wolfger | I love KDE apps in general, but they just never could make Konqueror usable on the modern web | 13:40 |
| jrwren | wolfger: and yet webkit was taken from konq and used to build safari and eventually chrome. weird how that works eh? | 13:41 |
| wolfger | yep | 13:41 |
| brousch | Obviously a web browser needs giant corporate backing to be useful | 13:42 |
| wolfger | It's amazing what money will do to improve a product | 13:42 |
| jrwren | or a giant non profit? <3 FF | 13:43 |
| wolfger | FF is amazing considering it's non-profit, but I've still switched to Chrome/Chromium on all my computers. Except my phone. I dropped Chrome on the phone. FF is much better there. | 13:44 |
| wolfger | phone Chrome is too bloated | 13:45 |
| brousch | Works for me! | 13:46 |
| mrgoodcat | morning | 13:46 |
| wolfger | I was getting updates just to install language support for languages I will never in my life need to use. And I was having to uninstall apps from my phone to make room for the updates. | 13:47 |
| mrgoodcat | i too run chrome/chromium everywhere | 13:47 |
| mrgoodcat | i was having bad memory leak issues with FF | 13:47 |
| wolfger | Yeah, mem leaks is why I switched on Windows | 13:54 |
| jrwren | Windows leaking and crashing was why I switched to linux. That was the 90s. | 13:56 |
| wolfger | Sure, sure. Isn't that why we all switched in the 90's? | 14:16 |
| wolfger | Then Win7 came out and surprisingly didn't suck, and I got re-addicted to video games (that don't suck, as opposed to the games available for Linux). :-p | 14:17 |
| cmaloney | There's a bunch of games available for Linux now. | 14:17 |
| wolfger | Now Linux is getting more support for games that don't suck, and as soon as I have a graphics card that doesn't suck under Linux I'll be using Linux a lot more often | 14:18 |
| wolfger | My big issue right now is that my graphics card isn't great under windows and it's plain horrible under Linux | 14:19 |
| cmaloney | wolfger: AMD? | 14:19 |
| wolfger | Intel | 14:19 |
| wolfger | laptop | 14:19 |
| wolfger | My next box will be a desktop | 14:19 |
| cmaloney | Get a NVidia card. | 14:20 |
| wolfger | planning on it | 14:20 |
| wolfger | I hear that Nvidia under Linux is actually better than Nvidia under Windows in certain aspects | 14:20 |
| cmaloney | WEll, it's better than AMD in many respects | 14:21 |
| wolfger | that kind of shocked me | 14:21 |
| cmaloney | mostly in the "works" | 14:21 |
| brousch | Intel or DIAF | 14:25 |
| jrwren | what intel chip? | 14:28 |
| jrwren | i thought the HD5000 was good? | 14:28 |
| wolfger | Intel can DIAF | 14:28 |
| jrwren | why? | 14:28 |
| wolfger | because my chip sucks | 14:29 |
| jrwren | so? its an old one? | 14:29 |
| wolfger | so far as I'm concerned, all GPU manufacturers can DIAF though. They intentionally make it difficult to know how good a card is | 14:30 |
| mrgoodcat | wolfger: you have trouble with intel on linux? | 14:30 |
| mrgoodcat | that's surprising | 14:30 |
| wolfger | My Intel is older, yeah. HD3*00 | 14:30 |
| mrgoodcat | the linux drivers for intel are pretty good though | 14:30 |
| wolfger | hmm | 14:30 |
| jrwren | i'd expect that HD3*00 to be fine for anything that isn't gaming. | 14:31 |
| mrgoodcat | same here | 14:31 |
| jrwren | but yeah, its going to be slow for games. | 14:31 |
| wolfger | Maybe I'm confused. Maybe my Kubuntu lappy isn't Intel. I still hate my weak Intel chip | 14:31 |
| mrgoodcat | and the newer 5000+ even run games pretty well | 14:31 |
| wolfger | Yes, I'm talking about for games | 14:31 |
| wolfger | It's weak under Win7 and unusable under Kubuntu | 14:32 |
| mrgoodcat | i've found my intel chip to run as well or better in linux than windows | 14:32 |
| wolfger | I wish I had that experience | 14:32 |
| mrgoodcat | I have a celeron 2955U | 14:32 |
| mrgoodcat | and use the on-chip graphics | 14:33 |
| jrwren | someone did a comparison of 3d in linux v. windows recently and linux was faster than windows for same tests. | 14:34 |
| mrgoodcat | i dont have benchmark results but it certainly seems smoother to me in linux | 14:34 |
| jrwren | this is NOT the article of which I was thinking: http://www.fermicg.net/2013/09/windows-vs-linux-in-3d-rendering.html | 14:36 |
| jrwren | ha, maybe it was OSX v. Ubuntu of which I was thinking: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=osx10_ubuntu1410 | 14:39 |
| wolfger | http://www.woot.com/offers/das-keyboard-4-professional-ultimate | 15:47 |
| wolfger | $120 refurb keyboard? | 15:48 |
| cmaloney | wolfger: DAS keyboards are fetishized by certain mechanical keyboard folks | 15:59 |
| cmaloney | and they're considered one of the better ones. | 15:59 |
| cmaloney | They're not cheap. | 15:59 |
| rick_h_ | bah humbug | 15:59 |
| rick_h_ | get a filco new for less than that | 16:00 |
| wolfger | LOL | 16:00 |
| rick_h_ | das made waves because they did the blank keys thing which was 'cool' and they've been riding on that ever since | 16:00 |
| cmaloney | I've been eyeballing the http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=keyed_up_labs,tenkeyless&pid=es87u_cc_bbb_al | 16:01 |
| wolfger | They do look very nice, but I'm not thinking "6 times the cost of a cheap keyboard" nice | 16:01 |
| wolfger | cmaloney: tenkeyless? Why??? | 16:01 |
| cmaloney | Ask rick_h_ | 16:01 |
| rick_h_ | wolfger: mouse closer to the keyboard, less stress, more ergo | 16:02 |
| wolfger | Hmm. Did a search on Filco, wound up at Diatec. Not sure how. They are same price, though. | 16:06 |
| wolfger | Hmm. Same company two names it seems | 16:07 |
| cmaloney | More than likely | 16:16 |
| cmaloney | I'm sure there's only a handful of keyboard manufacturers | 16:16 |
| jrwren | kalx registration is open: http://kalamazoox.org | 18:32 |
| wolfger | who the what now? | 18:36 |
| wolfger | what are my "core competencies"? That sounds like managerspeak | 18:37 |
| jrwren | it is a "soft skills" conference. | 18:37 |
| wolfger | I read that too. Just not understanding what that means. | 18:38 |
| cmaloney | It's a conference to teach you how not to be a dick. ;) | 18:38 |
| jrwren | anything non-technical you do in your job. | 18:39 |
| jrwren | so really, all the stuff that actually matters. | 18:39 |
| wolfger | cmaloney: oh, screw that! | 18:39 |
| jrwren | yeah, don't be a dick is part of it, for sure. | 18:39 |
| cmaloney | http://vimeo.com/kalamazoox | 18:40 |
| cmaloney | It's got Elizabeth Naramore though so it has to be good. | 18:41 |
| jrwren | exactly! | 18:41 |
| * cmaloney is downloading the videos | 18:41 | |
| cmaloney | I really need to give $$ to youtube-dl | 18:41 |
| cmaloney | seriously, they're the bestest thing that happened to videos. | 18:41 |
| cmaloney | Of course they also mean I have a backlog of videos to watch. ;) | 18:42 |
| brousch | Why are you downloading them? | 18:43 |
| wolfger | "@kalamazoox is a hidden gem. Today was like a braver, more profane set of dev-oriented TED talks" | 18:43 |
| wolfger | ok, that doesn't sound horrible | 18:43 |
| cmaloney | brousch: So I remember to watch them | 18:43 |
| cmaloney | and if I like it I have the video to watch later | 18:43 |
| cmaloney | and if it's junk I delete it | 18:43 |
| cmaloney | simple. | 18:43 |
| wolfger | cmaloney: regarding the aforementioned backlog of videos.... I don't think you process of remembering is working right | 18:44 |
| cmaloney | wolfger: Hush | 18:44 |
| wolfger | :-D | 18:44 |
| jrwren | on softskills: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMsQUXHY6tA | 18:44 |
| wolfger | I'll have to check out the vids after I escape the great firewall (and also am someplace quiet enough to hear anything) | 18:47 |
| brousch | cmaloney: Just make a bookmark in a folder: Video Queue | 18:47 |
| brousch | Save disk space, download bandwidth, and the queue goes with you in Chrome | 18:48 |
| cmaloney | Then I have to remember to clean out the queue | 18:52 |
| brousch | You have to remember to delete your downloaded files! | 18:54 |
| jrwren | you do? | 18:55 |
| jrwren | i just buy more and more storage. | 18:55 |
| wolfger | cheap hard drives ftw | 18:57 |
| brousch | hard drives? ew | 18:58 |
| wolfger | but then organizing and finding anything becomes a pain | 18:58 |
| jrwren | really? | 18:58 |
| jrwren | oh, yeah, I guess if it is a folder full of hash named flv files, yeah, that ain't easy. | 18:58 |
| wolfger | ok, ok... finding anything becomes a pain, because I am disorganized. :-P | 18:58 |
| wolfger | geez... they hold people accountable in here? | 18:59 |
| cmaloney | Actually youtube-dl will rename the files | 19:06 |
| mrgoodcat | i'm with brousch. delete download files | 19:26 |
| mrgoodcat | i have a cron set up daily to delete files older than x days in my Downloads folder | 19:27 |
| cmaloney | I think you're with me. :) | 19:27 |
| cmaloney | brousch just lives in the cloud. :) | 19:28 |
| brousch | I don't I live in less than 512GB | 19:28 |
| cmaloney | Unfortunately the Youtube downloader changes the date on the files when it finishes | 19:28 |
| brousch | The cloud is my backup | 19:29 |
| cmaloney | The cloud is my backup, I shall not DL. | 19:29 |
| wolfger | heh | 19:29 |
| cmaloney | It leadeth me down by the youtube videos | 19:29 |
| cmaloney | And lo though I walk through the valley of the shadow of DMCA I fear no evil | 19:30 |
| cmaloney | Thy content and Google's staff shall protect me | 19:30 |

| * rick_h_ is about to melt the snow outside with pure rage | 20:19 | |
| jrwren | rick_h_: will you be cooled off by tomorrow evening? | 20:22 |
| jrwren | rick_h_: either way, we can share car stories. I have a fun one. | 20:22 |
| cmaloney | rick_h_: Ugh | 20:23 |

| rick_h_ | jrwren: yea, doing it myself | 20:33 |
| rick_h_ | figured if I was telling you to I should as well :) | 20:33 |
| jrwren | oh cool, they are round trip tickets | 20:35 |
| rick_h_ | yep | 20:35 |
| rick_h_ | you have to get it that way, but yea | 20:35 |
| jrwren | they ain't cheap. | 20:36 |
| rick_h_ | half the cost of a cab one way | 20:37 |
| * rick_h_ says from personal experience | 20:37 | |
| rick_h_ | and that's round trip | 20:37 |
| jrwren | i was about to say... WAY more than a bus, WAY less than a cab :) | 20:37 |
| greg-g | the black cabs are expensive | 20:37 |
| rick_h_ | from where we're at to the airport is 70 one way non-black bcab | 20:38 |
| rick_h_ | cab | 20:38 |
| _stink_ | 70 shillings | 20:42 |
