[00:15] <jrwren> greg-g: only 12 days a year? is that separate from vaca?
[00:17] <greg-g> jrwren: yeah
[00:18] <greg-g> vacation starts at 12/year, goes up to 20/year (at 4 years).
[00:19] <greg-g> (by default, everything is negotiable)
[00:19] <greg-g> so Holiday+Vacation= between 24 and 32
[02:04] <cmaloney> Evening
[08:16] <rick_h_> morning
[12:50] <cmaloney> Morning
[13:00] <_stink_> yo
[14:22] <rick_h_> wheeee
[14:28] <brousch> rick_h_: We do not need your potty reports
[14:29] <rick_h_> brousch: but it so makes your day :)
[14:29] <rick_h_> http://techcrunch.com/2015/01/20/ubuntu-of-things/ kind of cool, didn't know about the robotics company
[14:30] <cmaloney> Nice
[14:38] <brousch> I was just reading https://insights.ubuntu.com/2015/01/20/ubuntu-core-on-internet-things/
[14:42] <jcastro> rick_h_, tons of snow down here today
[14:42] <rick_h_> jcastro: oh yea? /me hopes the wife hit the snow blower well
[14:42]  * rick_h_ checks snow counts for house
[14:43] <cmaloney> I think we're getting an inch at best
[14:48] <rick_h_> heh, wunderground is telling me accumulation for the house is abour 2-3cm so guess about an inch is right :)
[14:49] <cmaloney> I think it's because jcastro is closer to the water
[14:50] <jcastro> am I?
[14:50] <cmaloney> jcastro: yeah, closer to Lake MIchigan
[15:58] <brousch> cmaloney: I got a dusting
[15:58] <brousch> Maybe 1cm
[16:04] <cmaloney> Haven't looked outside in a bit
[16:52] <dzho> thanks for the Ubuntu Core links, folks
[16:59] <brousch> dzho: Do you work on that?
[16:59] <dzho> no
[16:59] <dzho> just might not have heard about it as soon
[16:59] <dzho> the sort of thing the local LUG and hackerspace might enjoy seeing
[17:01] <dzho> brousch: with the info deluge of today, I think groups like this and others, of similar-but-not-identical interest, can help each other by sort of curating this news for each other.
[18:44] <aisrael> We got about an inch on the other side of the river.
[20:31] <rick_h_> party time
[20:31] <rick_h_> europe needs to get crown royal here
[20:32] <brousch> WTF. I thought you would be swimming in fine wine
[20:33] <rick_h_> did that ast dinner
[20:33] <rick_h_> loively
[20:33] <rick_h_> lovely 2010 cab
[20:34] <cmaloney> Dude, you're in the land of Irish Whiskey and Scotch
[20:34] <cmaloney> Crown Royal is a North American thing
[20:35] <cmaloney> See if you can get some Jamesons
[20:35] <rick_h_> jack and coke as a fallback
[20:35] <cmaloney> You're going to pay a mint for Jack and Coke. ;)
[20:35] <cmaloney> unless Jack is more prevalent over there.
[20:56] <greg-g> wait, you're in the UK and ordering Jack?
[20:56] <greg-g> you want to never come home?
[21:02] <rick_h_> yea it vas 16 pounds for two of them
[21:02] <rick_h_> what am i supposed to order?
[21:04] <_stink_> i'm sure he's already identifiable as an American
[21:04] <_stink_> why not play the part
[21:04] <cmaloney> Heh
[21:06] <brousch> What with his lasso and hawaiian shirts
[21:08] <cmaloney> Well the fact that you're mixing whiskey and coke is a dead giveaway. :)
[21:10] <brousch> Hm, I can't seem to import the ubuntu-core OVA on windows
[21:10] <brousch> strange
[21:10] <cmaloney> You probably want to go with a blended Scotch
[21:10] <cmaloney> From what I'm reading that tends toward the sweet end of the spectrum
[21:10] <greg-g> 8 pounds per drink?! that's like $100!
[21:10] <greg-g> (ish)
[21:10] <cmaloney> Which is where Crown ROyal / Bourbon is
[21:10] <_stink_> haha
[21:11] <cmaloney> Though it won't be nearly as sweet
[21:13] <cmaloney> Fucking hell, Crown ROyal is owned by a London company
[21:13] <cmaloney> Diageo
[21:13] <cmaloney> They bought the assets of Seagrams when they folded
[21:13] <greg-g> see also: Budweiser
[21:14] <cmaloney> We'll not be going there
[21:14] <greg-g> not that company, the dutch one
[21:14] <cmaloney> Let's just say if they have Johnny Walker and Guinness but no Crown Royal they're full of shit. :)
[21:14] <cmaloney> or they just don't like those purple bags.
[21:15] <cmaloney> I now know more about scotch and bourbon than I did before. :)
