[02:41] cmaloney: http://amzn.com/B006O2F4KO [13:03] Good morning [13:05] It's Friday? [13:05] No. It's not. Ergo, not a very good morning. :-P [13:11] har har [13:13] Sorry. I'm grumpy. Yesterday should have been Friday in my opinion. I hate unproductive days. [13:14] cmaloney: Did you mugged last night at the coffee shop? [13:14] get mugged? [13:14] today should be tues or wed. this week going way to fast. [13:16] brousch: Nope, your bro-in-law was making sure of it. [13:16] jrwren: you can have the rest of my week, and I'll start the weekend now. [13:16] Excellent [13:17] 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 [13:23] 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] days." [13:24] wolfger: :( [13:24] wolfger: what were the bugs? do they still exist? [13:25] wolfger: Heh, I got one of those a month ago [13:25] This one that I just got was specific to a particular model of Sony Vaio. [13:27] Xubuntu 8.10 intrepid ibex was freezing the laptop shortly after boot [13:28] So yeah... real edge-case stuff [13:30] But others are not. Here is probably the saddest bug I still get notices on: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/38131 [13:31] 2006 to 2015 with no solution [13:33] Ah, mine was from 2012. Not as bad as yours. And it was resolved [13:35] Resolved, resolved? Not closed as invalid or will-not-fix? [13:35] morning [13:36] morning [13:37] that is really a firefox bug eh? and it still haunts you? [13:38] Er... uh... the e-mails still haunt me. [13:38] I switched to Chromium [13:38] ha! [13:39] kept trying to switch to Konqueror, but.... #$%$^@%$^$ [13:40] I love KDE apps in general, but they just never could make Konqueror usable on the modern web [13:41] wolfger: and yet webkit was taken from konq and used to build safari and eventually chrome. weird how that works eh? [13:41] yep [13:42] Obviously a web browser needs giant corporate backing to be useful [13:42] It's amazing what money will do to improve a product [13:43] or a giant non profit? <3 FF [13:44] 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. [13:45] phone Chrome is too bloated [13:46] Works for me! [13:46] morning [13:47] 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] i too run chrome/chromium everywhere [13:47] i was having bad memory leak issues with FF [13:54] Yeah, mem leaks is why I switched on Windows [13:56] Windows leaking and crashing was why I switched to linux. That was the 90s. [14:16] Sure, sure. Isn't that why we all switched in the 90's? [14:17] 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] There's a bunch of games available for Linux now. [14:18] 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 [14:19] My big issue right now is that my graphics card isn't great under windows and it's plain horrible under Linux [14:19] wolfger: AMD? [14:19] Intel [14:19] laptop [14:19] My next box will be a desktop [14:20] Get a NVidia card. [14:20] planning on it [14:20] I hear that Nvidia under Linux is actually better than Nvidia under Windows in certain aspects [14:21] WEll, it's better than AMD in many respects [14:21] that kind of shocked me [14:21] mostly in the "works" [14:25] Intel or DIAF [14:28] what intel chip? [14:28] i thought the HD5000 was good? [14:28] Intel can DIAF [14:28] why? [14:29] because my chip sucks [14:29] so? its an old one? [14:30] 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] wolfger: you have trouble with intel on linux? [14:30] that's surprising [14:30] My Intel is older, yeah. HD3*00 [14:30] the linux drivers for intel are pretty good though [14:30] hmm [14:31] i'd expect that HD3*00 to be fine for anything that isn't gaming. [14:31] same here [14:31] but yeah, its going to be slow for games. [14:31] Maybe I'm confused. Maybe my Kubuntu lappy isn't Intel. I still hate my weak Intel chip [14:31] and the newer 5000+ even run games pretty well [14:31] Yes, I'm talking about for games [14:32] It's weak under Win7 and unusable under Kubuntu [14:32] i've found my intel chip to run as well or better in linux than windows [14:32] I wish I had that experience [14:32] I have a celeron 2955U [14:33] and use the on-chip graphics [14:34] someone did a comparison of 3d in linux v. windows recently and linux was faster than windows for same tests. [14:34] i dont have benchmark results but it certainly seems smoother to me in linux [14:36] this is NOT the article of which I was thinking: http://www.fermicg.net/2013/09/windows-vs-linux-in-3d-rendering.html [14:39] ha, maybe it was OSX v. Ubuntu of which I was thinking: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=osx10_ubuntu1410 [15:47] http://www.woot.com/offers/das-keyboard-4-professional-ultimate [15:48] $120 refurb keyboard? [15:59] wolfger: DAS keyboards are fetishized by certain mechanical keyboard folks [15:59] and they're considered one of the better ones. [15:59] They're not cheap. [15:59] bah humbug [16:00] get a filco new for less than that [16:00] LOL [16:00] das made waves because they did the blank keys thing which was 'cool' and they've been riding on that ever since [16:01] I've been eyeballing the http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=keyed_up_labs,tenkeyless&pid=es87u_cc_bbb_al [16:01] They do look very nice, but I'm not thinking "6 times the cost of a cheap keyboard" nice [16:01] cmaloney: tenkeyless? Why??? [16:01] Ask rick_h_ [16:02] wolfger: mouse closer to the keyboard, less stress, more ergo [16:06] Hmm. Did a search on Filco, wound up at Diatec. Not sure how. They are same price, though. [16:07] Hmm. Same company two names it seems [16:16] More than likely [16:16] I'm sure there's only a handful of keyboard manufacturers [18:32] kalx registration is open: http://kalamazoox.org [18:36] who the what now? [18:37] what are my "core competencies"? That sounds like managerspeak [18:37] it is a "soft skills" conference. [18:38] I read that too. Just not understanding what that means. [18:38] It's a conference to teach you how not to be a dick. ;) [18:39] anything non-technical you do in your job. [18:39] so really, all the stuff that actually matters. [18:39] cmaloney: oh, screw that! [18:39] yeah, don't be a dick is part of it, for sure. [18:40] http://vimeo.com/kalamazoox [18:41] It's got Elizabeth Naramore though so it has to be good. [18:41] exactly! [18:41] * cmaloney is downloading the videos [18:41] I really need to give $$ to youtube-dl [18:41] seriously, they're the bestest thing that happened to videos. [18:42] Of course they also mean I have a backlog of videos to watch. ;) [18:43] Why are you downloading them? [18:43] "@kalamazoox is a hidden gem. Today was like a braver, more profane set of dev-oriented TED talks" [18:43] ok, that doesn't sound horrible [18:43] brousch: So I remember to watch them [18:43] and if I like it I have the video to watch later [18:43] and if it's junk I delete it [18:43] simple. [18:44] cmaloney: regarding the aforementioned backlog of videos.... I don't think you process of remembering is working right [18:44] wolfger: Hush [18:44] :-D [18:44] on softskills: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMsQUXHY6tA [18:47] 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] cmaloney: Just make a bookmark in a folder: Video Queue [18:48] Save disk space, download bandwidth, and the queue goes with you in Chrome [18:52] Then I have to remember to clean out the queue [18:54] You have to remember to delete your downloaded files! [18:55] you do? [18:55] i just buy more and more storage. [18:57] cheap hard drives ftw [18:58] hard drives? ew [18:58] but then organizing and finding anything becomes a pain [18:58] really? [18:58] oh, yeah, I guess if it is a folder full of hash named flv files, yeah, that ain't easy. [18:58] ok, ok... finding anything becomes a pain, because I am disorganized. :-P [18:59] geez... they hold people accountable in here? [19:06] Actually youtube-dl will rename the files [19:26] i'm with brousch. delete download files [19:27] i have a cron set up daily to delete files older than x days in my Downloads folder [19:27] I think you're with me. :) [19:28] brousch just lives in the cloud. :) [19:28] I don't I live in less than 512GB [19:28] Unfortunately the Youtube downloader changes the date on the files when it finishes [19:29] The cloud is my backup [19:29] The cloud is my backup, I shall not DL. [19:29] heh [19:29] It leadeth me down by the youtube videos [19:30] And lo though I walk through the valley of the shadow of DMCA I fear no evil [19:30] Thy content and Google's staff shall protect me [19:32] rofl [19:33] [This content was removed due to a copyright claim by Universal Music and God Almighty] [20:18] gah! Thank you for choosing Lenovo. Your customer experience is priority to us. Due to the popularity of this product, we are seeing a delay in shipments and are working to meet this increased demand. [20:18] will one damn thing work out right today? [20:19] $1k to get heat back in the car, and there's no sound in it currently [20:19] * rick_h_ is about to melt the snow outside with pure rage [20:22] rick_h_: will you be cooled off by tomorrow evening? [20:22] rick_h_: either way, we can share car stories. I have a fun one. [20:23] rick_h_: Ugh [20:30] jrwren: we on the same flight? [20:31] jrwren: cool, looks like it [20:32] jrwren: make sure to get a heathrow express ticket both ways [20:32] jrwren: you can get it and just have the email for the ticket [20:33] rick_h_: cool. I'll do that. I guess I should get it now eh? [20:33] jrwren: yea, doing it myself [20:33] figured if I was telling you to I should as well :) [20:35] oh cool, they are round trip tickets [20:35] yep [20:35] you have to get it that way, but yea [20:36] they ain't cheap. [20:37] half the cost of a cab one way [20:37] * rick_h_ says from personal experience [20:37] and that's round trip [20:37] i was about to say... WAY more than a bus, WAY less than a cab :) [20:37] the black cabs are expensive [20:38] from where we're at to the airport is 70 one way non-black bcab [20:38] cab [20:42] <_stink_> 70 shillings [20:43] pennyfarkles or something [20:46] Knuts and Gallions
