| gamerchick02 | morning? | 00:17 |
| gamerchick02 | but howdy, either way | 00:17 |
| cmaloney | heh | 00:17 |
| gamerchick02 | it's morning somewhere | 00:17 |
| cmaloney | I typed morning in another channel and figured I'd double down | 00:17 |
| gamerchick02 | rick_h_ the dell is rockin | 00:17 |
| gamerchick02 | LOL | 00:17 |
| rick_h_ | gamerchick02: glad you like it | 00:18 |
| gamerchick02 | :) thank you. my check should be arriving soon. | 00:19 |
| gamerchick02 | i mailed it yesterday | 00:19 |
| mrgoodcat | did you buy ricks xps13? | 01:19 |
| gamerchick02 | i did, mrgoodcat | 01:19 |
| gamerchick02 | i love it | 01:19 |
| mrgoodcat | yea thats a solid machine | 01:19 |
| gamerchick02 | i'm trying to figure out what's up with the "operating system not found" error on bootup. i press "enter" and it works but... you know | 01:19 |
| mrgoodcat | i've only had my hands on them a handful of times but i liked it enough | 01:19 |
| mrgoodcat | that's an odd problem... | 01:20 |
| gamerchick02 | it is | 01:21 |
| mrgoodcat | you're running just ubuntu right? no dual boot or anything like that? | 02:03 |
| gamerchick02 | on the Dell yes | 02:05 |
| gamerchick02 | straight ubuntu, no mods | 02:05 |
| gamerchick02 | i can figure it out tomorrow or something. it's getting late and my brain is kinda mush. | 02:06 |

| cmaloney | Good morning | 11:20 |
| brousch | Yes | 11:45 |
| cmaloney | And it was good. | 13:04 |
| rick_h_ | morning | 13:04 |
| greg-g | neighbor is drilling in concrete (it sounds like, can't see), which made me look through somafm's stations and pick.... the dub step one | 17:08 |
| greg-g | this stuff is.... great if I were 17 again | 17:08 |
| cmaloney | greg-g: Yeah, Dubstep great to the point where the transformers start stomping about. | 17:12 |
| greg-g | isn't that the entire thing? | 17:12 |
| cmaloney | I've heard certain songs where they have a decent beat and then CRASH Woooom wwwwwwoooooom wub wub wub wubawubbawubba brrrrrrip. | 17:13 |
| cmaloney | I've grown to detest it less over time | 17:13 |
| cmaloney | but it still kind of sucks in a "Watch the giant robot stomp about in bullet-time for no good reason" sort of way. | 17:13 |
| cmaloney | Like this current track | 17:14 |
| cmaloney | here comes the brackdown | 17:15 |
| mrgoodcat | i see dubstep as a gateway into bettter electronic music | 17:15 |
| cmaloney | mrgoodcat: That's like saying Hair Metal is a gateway to better music | 17:15 |
| cmaloney | not everyone makes the jump | 17:15 |
| mrgoodcat | sad for them i guess | 17:16 |
| cmaloney | Though honestly a lot of electronic music sounds similar to me | 17:16 |
| mrgoodcat | a lot of metal sounds similar to other people | 17:16 |
| mrgoodcat | subjective taste etc | 17:16 |
| cmaloney | I mean, I'm not going to confuse Tangerine Dream with Skrillex | 17:16 |
| cmaloney | But I'll be damned if I can tell the difference between Breakbeat, Jungle, House, et. al | 17:17 |
| mrgoodcat | just takes a practiced ear | 17:17 |
| cmaloney | Maybe. | 17:17 |
| cmaloney | or perhaps I'm just not as discerning. :) | 17:18 |
| mrgoodcat | music seems to be one thing where familiarity breeds taste and vice-versa | 17:18 |
| mrgoodcat | it builds on itself | 17:18 |
| cmaloney | True | 17:18 |
| mrgoodcat | the more people listen to a genre, the more they notice about it | 17:18 |
| cmaloney | Could also be I don't particularly care for labels | 17:18 |
| mrgoodcat | and the more they notice about it the more they are able to appreciate the subtle differences | 17:18 |
| mrgoodcat | electronic music is perfect for people that don't like labels. so many indie electronic artists its hard to keep track of them | 17:19 |
| cmaloney | Whether it's blackened death metal vs. death metal vs. technical death metal I couldn't care less. | 17:19 |
| cmaloney | mrgoodcat: True dat. | 17:19 |
| cmaloney | I think Electronic Music is about as useful a term as world music | 17:19 |
| cmaloney | or "guitar music": | 17:19 |
| mrgoodcat | they all claim weird genres that i can't ever even tell what they mean | 17:19 |
| mrgoodcat | disco-funky-trace-rock-synth | 17:20 |
| cmaloney | http://www.di.fm/ | 17:20 |
| mrgoodcat | oh cool | 17:21 |
| cmaloney | under the "hard" button there' Psytrance, Hard Dance, JHungle, Big Room House, NIghtcore, Trap... | 17:21 |
| mrgoodcat | heh | 17:21 |
| mrgoodcat | i've been on a newgrass kick recently | 17:21 |
| cmaloney | Club Dubstep vs. Dubstep | 17:21 |
| cmaloney | mrgoodcat: I can handle *grass music for one and a half songs. | 17:21 |
| mrgoodcat | club dubstep is much more LOUD NOISES ALL THE TIME SOO MUCH BASS MAKE SURE TO CHUG YOUR BEER AAAAHHHHH | 17:21 |
| mrgoodcat | yea lots of people feel that way | 17:22 |
| mrgoodcat | its not exactly popular | 17:22 |
| rick_h_ | heh wife is hilarious | 17:22 |
| greg-g | newgrass? | 17:22 |
| rick_h_ | "I'm going to get the snow tires taken off on Sat" | 17:22 |
| rick_h_ | "but, it could snow still!" | 17:23 |
| rick_h_ | "Yep, it could, but going to be getting to warm for snow tires so I'd rather not burn up $1k in tires" | 17:23 |
| cmaloney | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_bluegrass | 17:23 |
| mrgoodcat | greg-g: its like bluegrass but modern electric instruments incororated | 17:23 |
| rick_h_ | "but what will do if it snows?" | 17:23 |
| mrgoodcat | basically modern bluegrass | 17:23 |
| greg-g | innnnteresting | 17:23 |
| mrgoodcat | yonder mountain string band | 17:23 |
| rick_h_ | "exactly what you did before I got you snow tires...drive carefully?" | 17:23 |
| cmaloney | See, Bela Fleck I fucking love | 17:23 |
| mrgoodcat | newgrass revival | 17:23 |
| cmaloney | and here's why: | 17:23 |
| cmaloney | THEY DON'T FUCKING SING. | 17:23 |
| greg-g | bela is newgrass? I guess so | 17:23 |
| mrgoodcat | rick_h_: my gf is the same way | 17:24 |
| greg-g | I love me some real appalachian bluegrass | 17:24 |
| mrgoodcat | i told her to take her snow tires off if she wants them to last | 17:24 |
| brousch | I only bluegrass if there's no singing | 17:25 |
| cmaloney | http://www.rushisaband.com/blog/2014/02/06/3923/Rush-2112-reference-in-indie-film-The-History-of-Future-Folk | 17:25 |
| cmaloney | JoDee and I tried to watch that movie | 17:25 |
| mrgoodcat | bela fleck is definitely newgrass | 17:25 |
| rick_h_ | mrgoodcat: yea, funny I had to talk her into snow tires a ton | 17:25 |
| cmaloney | We got to about the second song | 17:25 |
| rick_h_ | mrgoodcat: now she's like "but but...will my car work without them in snow" now :) | 17:25 |
| mrgoodcat | heh | 17:25 |
| cmaloney | rick_h_: Nice. :) | 17:25 |
| greg-g | I guess I never knew what to really call Bela before | 17:25 |
| mrgoodcat | cmaloney: what about o' brother where art thou? | 17:25 |
| cmaloney | greg-g: Mr. Fleck, likely. | 17:25 |
| cmaloney | mrgoodcat: never saw it | 17:26 |
| brousch | rick_h_: Reveal to her that the snow tires are just a placebo | 17:26 |
| cmaloney | My dad loved the sound track enough to pirate it | 17:26 |
| greg-g | cmaloney: :P | 17:26 |
| rick_h_ | brousch: lies! | 17:26 |
| mrgoodcat | brousch: they aren't though | 17:26 |
| * rick_h_ loves him some snow tires | 17:26 | |
| * cmaloney does love The Browning though. nice mix of electronic / death metal. :) | 17:27 | |
| cmaloney | with a hint of dubstep-like stuff | 17:27 |
| brousch | My anecdote says they are worthless. I have been in exactly 1 winter accident, it was in a car with snow tires. I've never had snow tires any other time. | 17:28 |
| rick_h_ | I've never figured out wtf 'dub-step' actually is | 17:28 |
| mrgoodcat | rick_h_: club noise mostly | 17:30 |
| greg-g | I liked cmaloney's description of transformers stomping around, with all of the eletrical gear/pistons that implies | 17:32 |
| rick_h_ | hah volunteers? https://twitter.com/Jimmy_Byrd/status/576070644019957761 | 17:38 |
| rick_h_ | I know of a couple of things that live over there I used | 17:38 |
| brousch | The Internet Archive? | 17:40 |
| mrgoodcat | i don't use a lot of google code things | 17:40 |
| cmaloney | Honestly I'm not surprised Google Code is finally getting the plug | 17:50 |
| cmaloney | it's been moribund for years and they've made no secret about their intent to discontinue it | 17:50 |
| rick_h_ | wooo! launchpad outlasted google code! :P | 17:50 |
| cmaloney | Not sure that's much to crow about | 17:57 |
| rick_h_ | :) | 17:57 |
| rick_h_ | oh come on, that was funny! | 17:57 |
| cmaloney | Sadly, it was | 17:58 |
| cmaloney | Pretty sure something named Sourceforge will outlast us all | 17:58 |
| greg-g | they should do like what gitorious did (they were just bought by gitlab and will be shut down) and give a tarball of all the git repos to IA | 17:58 |
| cmaloney | and everyone will claim they never use it | 17:58 |
| cmaloney | greg-g: Something tells me gitorious is a little more curated than Google COde | 17:58 |
| * greg-g nods | 17:59 | |
| cmaloney | I'm sure there's stuff on there that isn't 100% legal | 17:59 |
| greg-g | (same with IA ;) ) | 17:59 |
| greg-g | see also: Citizen Four being on there for about 2 days | 17:59 |
| greg-g | I didn't know it wasn't authorized and downloaded and watched it before I found out it was removed. I think that still keeps me in the ethical bucket. | 18:00 |
| cmaloney | See: Certain manga series. :) | 18:00 |
| cmaloney | and one of the audiobooks I recently listend to | 18:00 |
| cmaloney | and the Oxford bible w/ annotations | 18:00 |
| cmaloney | That's right: I pirated the Bible. :) | 18:00 |
| greg-g | I don't think God needs the royalties | 18:01 |
| cmaloney | No, but apparently Oxford needs the DRM on the new version | 18:01 |
| greg-g | I mean, if he does, we're all more fucked than we thought | 18:01 |
| rick_h_ | are you kidding me? everything with him is about the $ :) | 18:01 |
| greg-g | haha | 18:01 |
| cmaloney | Harsh but fair | 18:01 |
| rick_h_ | http://amzn.com/1416576576 :) | 18:05 |
| rick_h_ | interviewed on the daily show last week | 18:05 |
| greg-g | interesting | 18:05 |
| greg-g | man I want time to read again | 18:05 |
| * greg-g looks at Rowan, Carrie, RV, work, work, and work as the blockers | 18:05 | |
| rick_h_ | you and me both, I'm still on the same book for the last 3 weeks I think :/ | 18:05 |
| mrgoodcat | name announced for star wars standalone film | 18:05 |
| brousch | Do you not work on the biggest encyclopedia evar? | 18:05 |
| mrgoodcat | rogue one | 18:06 |
| mrgoodcat | felicity jones first actress cast | 18:06 |
| greg-g | brousch: I wish that means I could have time to read it (or even edit, so many things I want to contribute) | 18:06 |
| greg-g | you know what I just realized, the drilling in the concrete next door is indistinguishable from the dubstep I'm listening to. I just realized between songs that it wasn't part of the song | 18:17 |
| mthx | Anyone every used Brasero to make an ISO copy of a blu-ray disk before? | 18:18 |
| cmaloney | Heh | 18:18 |
| cmaloney | greg-g: That's the best part about electronic music | 18:18 |
| cmaloney | You can't tell when the music ends and the environment begins | 18:18 |
| greg-g | :) | 18:18 |
| mrgoodcat | anybody know of any OSS databases that are drop in replacements for MS SQL? | 18:38 |
| cmaloney | mrgoodcat: You'll want something that's close to Sybase | 18:41 |
| cmaloney | not sure anyone cloned Sybase | 18:41 |
| cmaloney | Honestly you'd probably have a better time migrating the data over to an OSS database like PostgreSQL | 18:44 |
| mrgoodcat | don't really have that choice | 18:45 |
| mrgoodcat | we're using GoldMine CRM and MS SQL express | 18:46 |
| mrgoodcat | Express has a 10 GB size limit for databases and GoldMine only speaks MS SQL | 18:46 |
| cmaloney | Welcome to lock-in | 18:46 |
| mrgoodcat | MS SQL standard is like 3k per core that you have to buy in 2 core packs | 18:47 |
| cmaloney | Yep. You've made a mistake. :) | 18:47 |
| cmaloney | You'll have to do some heroics to keep using Goldmine, pay money, or migrate off GoldMine. | 18:48 |
| mrgoodcat | we've been thinking about migrating away from goldmine for a while anyways | 18:48 |
| cmaloney | And now you have a great reason to start loking | 18:48 |
| cmaloney | looking | 18:48 |
| mrgoodcat | or we could decide that data is stale after 5 years and dump it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | 18:48 |
| cmaloney | a-yep | 18:49 |
| mrgoodcat | although that seems like not the best option | 18:49 |
| cmaloney | Depends on how you value the data. | 18:49 |
| mrgoodcat | heh goldmine rated last place by g2 https://www.g2crowd.com/categories/crm | 18:49 |
| cmaloney | 5yo contacts might be the best thing ever, or not worth the effort | 18:50 |
| mrgoodcat | we don't really have much use for history past 5 years | 18:51 |
| mrgoodcat | the company owner is extremely averse to any sort of change | 18:52 |
| cmaloney | Well, if he's adverse to change perhaps he'll be more happy with bigger bills. | 18:52 |
| mrgoodcat | and also a bit paranoid that people are trying to steal company data (which since the data is basically useless to anybody but us, they are probably not) | 18:52 |
| cmaloney | Then it's time to have this person sign off on updating the MS-SQL server | 18:53 |
| cmaloney | and call it a day | 18:53 |
| mrgoodcat | he's chosen to pay rather than change in the past, i wouldn't be surprised if that's how this plays you | 18:53 |
| mrgoodcat | plays out rather | 18:53 |
| cmaloney | Problem solved | 18:53 |
| gamerchick02 | Terry Pratchett died today. dunno if anyone followed his stuff. i have not but i regret not reading his books. his books will still be available though. | 22:23 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, I read The Color of Magic. | 23:18 |
| cmaloney | Apparently his later books are great, so I look forward to reading them | 23:19 |
