=== Jon__ is now known as JonEdney
JonEdneyHowdy folks00:37
cmaloneyHello00:43
JonEdneyIt's been a while since I've kept up on anything. Is there still meetups in the downriver area?00:50
JonEdneyHmm. *Are there still meetups00:50
JonEdneyGrammar isn't my strong suite.00:50
cmaloneyI'm not sure.01:51
cmaloneyColonelPanic001: ^^01:51
_stink_i think CHC downriver stopped a while back02:25
cmaloneyThats what I thought03:07
cmaloneyGood morning14:10
_stink_yo14:16
ColonelPanic001JonEdney_v2: uh15:34
ColonelPanic001not now.... but there could be.15:35
ColonelPanic001in that, it'd be neat if there were15:35
ColonelPanic001we need to start a downriver lug.15:35
ColonelPanic001or a splinter group from MUG15:35
ColonelPanic001Da Mug15:35
ColonelPanic001Downriver Area MUG15:35
ColonelPanic001JonEdney_v2: you from downriver?15:35
cmaloneyNo need to splinter. Just come to the meetings. :)15:41
cmaloneyWe won't judge.15:42
cmaloney(much)15:42
cmaloney;)15:42
ColonelPanic001meet closer :P15:42
cmaloneyIt's not like we're in Ohio15:42
cmaloneySheesh15:42
ColonelPanic001ohio is easier for me to get to :P15:42
cmaloneyHow far downriver are you?15:42
ColonelPanic001and I have an offspring I have to do stuff for now, needy bastard15:42
ColonelPanic001Southgate15:42
ColonelPanic001exit 37ish on I-75, maybe a mile or two from there15:43
cmaloneyWTF, you got married without letting anyone know and now you've procreated?15:43
ColonelPanic001court gag order15:43
cmaloneyPretty soon you'll be telling us you have an underground bunker in Southgate15:43
ColonelPanic001matter of national security15:43
ColonelPanic001I would have a bunker if I could.15:43
cmaloney(congrats!)15:43
cmaloneyIt's 46 minutes away acc. to Google Maps.15:44
cmaloneyStraight shot up US-2415:44
ColonelPanic001(thanks! Nov 14th, fwiw)15:45
cmaloneyaka: Telegraph. :)15:45
cmaloneyOr you could take the Southfield but I hate that road as well15:45
ColonelPanic001yeah, so coming to MUG is a "leave for work in the morning and come back sometime at night" day... maybe when it's less of a big deal to leave my wife to care for the spawn the entire day. I try to give her a break when I get home15:45
cmaloneyI used to live in Belleville and come to MUG.15:45
cmaloneyUnderstandable.15:46
ColonelPanic001oooooooh sorry, Mister I'll-drive-anywhere :P15:46
ColonelPanic001honestly I just hate driving15:46
ColonelPanic001working from home spoiled me. I know how good it can be15:46
cmaloneyWell it bugs me when people say anything under an hour is "too far"15:46
ColonelPanic001it is far. :P15:47
ColonelPanic001that's minimum 1.5h total. plus time for the meeting, etc.15:47
ColonelPanic001you guys do have a much stronger presense out there though, I do want to go sometime15:47
brouschColonelPanic001: I encourage my wife to take a night off each week.15:48
ColonelPanic001same15:48
ColonelPanic001get home and kick her out15:48
ColonelPanic001into the snow15:48
ColonelPanic001and then she whines about "I DON'T HAVE A COAT OR CAR KEYS"15:48
ColonelPanic001how ungrateful15:48
brouschMy night off is a user group or maker social. She goes to a knitting club15:48
ColonelPanic001yeah, I could work it in like that.15:49
ColonelPanic001she stays home with the kid though, so at least for a little while, when it's constant attention stuff, she works harder than I do during the day with him15:50
ColonelPanic001listen I have to try and not be murdered by my wife15:50
ColonelPanic001that's pretty much the best way to sum up our relationship. Each day, I say "how can I prevent my inevitable murder today?"15:50
ColonelPanic001and usually, it's "give her a break from the kid after work"15:50
ColonelPanic001that bumps my survival chances into the double digits at least15:51
brouschYeah, it is different with an infant15:52
ColonelPanic001meh. He's not bad. I'm a misanthropic hermit anyway15:53
brouschSo you will have to take the day off of work on MUG days to watch the kid. She can go out all day. Then she watches the kid at night while you MUG15:53
ColonelPanic001I do have the vacation time to do it...15:53
brouschDistance is not a valid complaint. I drove from GR in the rain for MUG15:53
ColonelPanic001brousch: your bad decisions don't require me to make bad decisions ;)15:54
ColonelPanic001nah, that is a long drive. I forgot you're from GR. You go to GrrCon?15:55
brouschIt wasn't bad. I got a free dinner and gas money!15:55
ColonelPanic001if not for it being right around Jenny's due date, I would have probably gone to that, it looks neat15:55
ColonelPanic001brousch: free dinner changes everything15:55
brouschI went to GrrCON two years15:55
ColonelPanic001awesome. worth driving from Detroit?15:56
brouschThe talks scare me too much15:56
brouschOH definitely15:56
ColonelPanic001I already requested it at work15:56
ColonelPanic001cool.15:56
ColonelPanic001think I requested GrrCon, Ohio LinuxFest, and a couple in detroit itself (self conf, mobile self conf, api craft, converge)15:57
ColonelPanic001we'll see. some of those cost the university essentially nothing, so they're likely.I15:58
ColonelPanic001my wife did give me permission to go to Penguicon this year, too. Might do just one day, not sure yet.16:00
_stink_remember that such permission is always revokable16:01
ColonelPanic001it is true that it was not given in writing16:01
ColonelPanic001I should make her do that. And then have Rob notarize it16:01
_stink_yes16:01
cmaloneyheh16:13
cmaloneyNeed to figure out when the release party will be at Penguicon16:14
cmaloneyFeh, I'm a bottleneck.16:14
ColonelPanic001real cmaloneys have curves.16:17
ColonelPanic001two of them, convex, one on each side16:17
ColonelPanic001concave, rather16:17
ColonelPanic001whatever, I barely got sleep16:17
ColonelPanic001I can't be expected to know "shapes" and "basic human knowledge"16:17
cmaloneyheh16:22
=== JonEdney_v2 is now known as JonEdney
JonEdneyColonelPanic001, yes I'm out of downriver. Lincoln Park specifically.19:44
JonEdney(In and out all day, sorry for delay)19:45
ColonelPanic001np, nice19:45
ColonelPanic001I'm grew up in Lincoln Park, moved a couple miles to the south19:45
ColonelPanic001I'm grew up. ffs.19:46
JonEdneylol19:46
JonEdneyI grew up in Woodhaven, been in LP for about 2 years now.19:46
ColonelPanic001my dad was from about that area. Brownstown, went to Woodhaven's HS, iirc19:47
ColonelPanic001I grew up in southern lp, in southgate now19:47
ColonelPanic001the Land of Restaurants19:47
ColonelPanic001if there were some sort of computer group, lug, whatever, would you be interested? I've always kinda half kicked around the idea, but didn't know who would be involved anyway, but lately seems like I could think of more people19:48
ColonelPanic001just thinking out loud here, no commitment or anything19:49
JonEdneyI'd be interested. I'm still a novice in comparison to most, but actively studying for my Linux+ and web development, I'd be game.19:49
ColonelPanic001awesome. If something should happen, I will make sure to come here and inform you19:50
JonEdneySounds good! I have to go grab kids from school. I'll be around, thank you.19:50
ColonelPanic001I've joked about starting the "downriver society for advanced computing" just so I could call it "dsac" like a giggling 14 year old, but maybe we should do something like that. with a better name.19:50
ColonelPanic001np, thanks19:50
brouschThere's an actual place called Browntown?19:52
