[00:37] <JonEdney> Howdy folks
[00:43] <cmaloney> Hello
[00:50] <JonEdney> It's been a while since I've kept up on anything. Is there still meetups in the downriver area?
[00:50] <JonEdney> Hmm. *Are there still meetups
[00:50] <JonEdney> Grammar isn't my strong suite.
[01:51] <cmaloney> I'm not sure.
[01:51] <cmaloney> ColonelPanic001: ^^
[02:25] <_stink_> i think CHC downriver stopped a while back
[03:07] <cmaloney> Thats what I thought
[14:10] <cmaloney> Good morning
[14:16] <_stink_> yo
[15:34] <ColonelPanic001> JonEdney_v2: uh
[15:35] <ColonelPanic001> not now.... but there could be.
[15:35] <ColonelPanic001> in that, it'd be neat if there were
[15:35] <ColonelPanic001> we need to start a downriver lug.
[15:35] <ColonelPanic001> or a splinter group from MUG
[15:35] <ColonelPanic001> Da Mug
[15:35] <ColonelPanic001> Downriver Area MUG
[15:35] <ColonelPanic001> JonEdney_v2: you from downriver?
[15:41] <cmaloney> No need to splinter. Just come to the meetings. :)
[15:42] <cmaloney> We won't judge.
[15:42] <cmaloney> (much)
[15:42] <cmaloney> ;)
[15:42] <ColonelPanic001> meet closer :P
[15:42] <cmaloney> It's not like we're in Ohio
[15:42] <cmaloney> Sheesh
[15:42] <ColonelPanic001> ohio is easier for me to get to :P
[15:42] <cmaloney> How far downriver are you?
[15:42] <ColonelPanic001> and I have an offspring I have to do stuff for now, needy bastard
[15:42] <ColonelPanic001> Southgate
[15:43] <ColonelPanic001> exit 37ish on I-75, maybe a mile or two from there
[15:43] <cmaloney> WTF, you got married without letting anyone know and now you've procreated?
[15:43] <ColonelPanic001> court gag order
[15:43] <cmaloney> Pretty soon you'll be telling us you have an underground bunker in Southgate
[15:43] <ColonelPanic001> matter of national security
[15:43] <ColonelPanic001> I would have a bunker if I could.
[15:43] <cmaloney> (congrats!)
[15:44] <cmaloney> It's 46 minutes away acc. to Google Maps.
[15:44] <cmaloney> Straight shot up US-24
[15:45] <ColonelPanic001> (thanks! Nov 14th, fwiw)
[15:45] <cmaloney> aka: Telegraph. :)
[15:45] <cmaloney> Or you could take the Southfield but I hate that road as well
[15:45] <ColonelPanic001> yeah, 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 home
[15:45] <cmaloney> I used to live in Belleville and come to MUG.
[15:46] <cmaloney> Understandable.
[15:46] <ColonelPanic001> oooooooh sorry, Mister I'll-drive-anywhere :P
[15:46] <ColonelPanic001> honestly I just hate driving
[15:46] <ColonelPanic001> working from home spoiled me. I know how good it can be
[15:46] <cmaloney> Well it bugs me when people say anything under an hour is "too far"
[15:47] <ColonelPanic001> it is far. :P
[15:47] <ColonelPanic001> that's minimum 1.5h total. plus time for the meeting, etc.
[15:47] <ColonelPanic001> you guys do have a much stronger presense out there though, I do want to go sometime
[15:48] <brousch> ColonelPanic001: I encourage my wife to take a night off each week.
[15:48] <ColonelPanic001> same
[15:48] <ColonelPanic001> get home and kick her out
[15:48] <ColonelPanic001> into the snow
[15:48] <ColonelPanic001> and then she whines about "I DON'T HAVE A COAT OR CAR KEYS"
[15:48] <ColonelPanic001> how ungrateful
[15:48] <brousch> My night off is a user group or maker social. She goes to a knitting club
[15:49] <ColonelPanic001> yeah, I could work it in like that.
[15:50] <ColonelPanic001> she 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 him
[15:50] <ColonelPanic001> listen I have to try and not be murdered by my wife
[15:50] <ColonelPanic001> that'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] <ColonelPanic001> and usually, it's "give her a break from the kid after work"
[15:51] <ColonelPanic001> that bumps my survival chances into the double digits at least
[15:52] <brousch> Yeah, it is different with an infant
[15:53] <ColonelPanic001> meh. He's not bad. I'm a misanthropic hermit anyway
[15:53] <brousch> So 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 MUG
[15:53] <ColonelPanic001> I do have the vacation time to do it...
[15:53] <brousch> Distance is not a valid complaint. I drove from GR in the rain for MUG
[15:54] <ColonelPanic001> brousch: your bad decisions don't require me to make bad decisions ;)
[15:55] <ColonelPanic001> nah, that is a long drive. I forgot you're from GR. You go to GrrCon?
[15:55] <brousch> It wasn't bad. I got a free dinner and gas money!
[15:55] <ColonelPanic001> if not for it being right around Jenny's due date, I would have probably gone to that, it looks neat
[15:55] <ColonelPanic001> brousch: free dinner changes everything
[15:55] <brousch> I went to GrrCON two years
[15:56] <ColonelPanic001> awesome. worth driving from Detroit?
[15:56] <brousch> The talks scare me too much
[15:56] <brousch> OH definitely
[15:56] <ColonelPanic001> I already requested it at work
[15:56] <ColonelPanic001> cool.
[15:57] <ColonelPanic001> think I requested GrrCon, Ohio LinuxFest, and a couple in detroit itself (self conf, mobile self conf, api craft, converge)
[15:58] <ColonelPanic001> we'll see. some of those cost the university essentially nothing, so they're likely.I
[16:00] <ColonelPanic001> my wife did give me permission to go to Penguicon this year, too. Might do just one day, not sure yet.
[16:01] <_stink_> remember that such permission is always revokable
[16:01] <ColonelPanic001> it is true that it was not given in writing
[16:01] <ColonelPanic001> I should make her do that. And then have Rob notarize it
[16:01] <_stink_> yes
[16:13] <cmaloney> heh
[16:14] <cmaloney> Need to figure out when the release party will be at Penguicon
[16:14] <cmaloney> Feh, I'm a bottleneck.
[16:17] <ColonelPanic001> real cmaloneys have curves.
[16:17] <ColonelPanic001> two of them, convex, one on each side
[16:17] <ColonelPanic001> concave, rather
[16:17] <ColonelPanic001> whatever, I barely got sleep
[16:17] <ColonelPanic001> I can't be expected to know "shapes" and "basic human knowledge"
[16:22] <cmaloney> heh
[19:44] <JonEdney> ColonelPanic001, yes I'm out of downriver. Lincoln Park specifically.
[19:45] <JonEdney> (In and out all day, sorry for delay)
[19:45] <ColonelPanic001> np, nice
[19:45] <ColonelPanic001> I'm grew up in Lincoln Park, moved a couple miles to the south
[19:46] <ColonelPanic001> I'm grew up. ffs.
[19:46] <JonEdney> lol
[19:46] <JonEdney> I grew up in Woodhaven, been in LP for about 2 years now.
[19:47] <ColonelPanic001> my dad was from about that area. Brownstown, went to Woodhaven's HS, iirc
[19:47] <ColonelPanic001> I grew up in southern lp, in southgate now
[19:47] <ColonelPanic001> the Land of Restaurants
[19:48] <ColonelPanic001> if 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 people
[19:49] <ColonelPanic001> just thinking out loud here, no commitment or anything
[19:49] <JonEdney> I'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.
[19:50] <ColonelPanic001> awesome. If something should happen, I will make sure to come here and inform you
[19:50] <JonEdney> Sounds good! I have to go grab kids from school. I'll be around, thank you.
[19:50] <ColonelPanic001> I'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] <ColonelPanic001> np, thanks
[19:52] <brousch> There's an actual place called Browntown?
[19:58] <_stink_> ..
[20:18] <ColonelPanic001> Brownstown
[20:18] <ColonelPanic001> yes
[20:21]  * brousch snickers
[20:43] <_stink_> tsk tsk
[21:20] <ColonelPanic001> o.o
[21:21] <rick_h_> hmm
[21:25] <ColonelPanic001> jayis is another WSU person
[21:25] <ColonelPanic001> we're invading
[21:25] <jayis> :D
[21:26] <rick_h_> ruh roh
[21:44] <cmaloney> heh
[21:54] <ColonelPanic001> JonEdney: you around? You have caused so much trouble.
[21:54] <ColonelPanic001> ./j #downriverug
[21:54] <ColonelPanic001> we're tossing ideas around and stuff
[21:54] <JonEdney> hahaha
[22:25] <lmorchard> cmaloney: Heya, are folks still gathering for CHC in royal oak? thinking I might break my hermit streak soon and try to start coming out again
