| cscheib | it is indeed evening | 01:13 |
| rick_h_ | party | 01:13 |
| rick_h_ | chc party | 01:14 |
| cscheib | jcastro: relevant to your interests: I had tacos at Azteca tonight | 01:14 |
| cmaloney | Good morning | 13:21 |
| rick_h_ | morn | 13:28 |
| _stink_ | yo | 13:31 |
| cmaloney | *Sigh* | 15:45 |
| cscheib | somebody have a case of the Thursdays? | 15:46 |
| cmaloney | Having a case of "what I thought was a good launch wasn't" | 15:46 |
| cscheib | oh? | 15:47 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, long story | 15:48 |
| cmaloney | suffice to say what we thought we didn't need we needed | 15:48 |
| cscheib | happens | 15:49 |
| cmaloney | Yeah | 15:54 |
| ColonelPanic001 | I recently have assumed command of the university's mirror FTP/HTTP server. | 15:56 |
| * ColonelPanic001 mirrors bookie | 15:56 | |
| cscheib | my favorite bad launch of my career was the backup infrastructure I built for a large auto in Auburn Hills... my employer wouldn't let me get powerful enough hardware, I had to use surplus stuff... so, we built a backup env that couldn't keep up. | 15:57 |
| _stink_ | the guy who had it before you was a terrible person ColonelPanic001 | 15:57 |
| cscheib | totally not my fault, nearly quit over it. | 15:57 |
| cmaloney | ColonelPanic001: That's awesome. :) | 15:57 |
| cmaloney | _stink_: DId you manage the mirrors? | 15:57 |
| ColonelPanic001 | yeah | 15:57 |
| ColonelPanic001 | I drew the short straw | 15:57 |
| ColonelPanic001 | now it's mine | 15:57 |
| _stink_ | *gasp* how could you think such a thing | 15:57 |
| cmaloney | _stink_: You're self-effacing. | 15:57 |
| cmaloney | ;) | 15:58 |
| ColonelPanic001 | he can self-face because he has a mirror | 15:58 |
| cmaloney | heh | 15:58 |
| cmaloney | God, that mirror infrastructure has to be a rickety mess. | 15:58 |
| _stink_ | i miss giving the 'FTP team' reports every month | 15:58 |
| cmaloney | _stink_: "Still a rickety mess" | 15:58 |
| cmaloney | "no funding, but thanks for the bandwidth" | 15:59 |
| cmaloney | Does WSU still have a Usenet mirror? | 15:59 |
| ColonelPanic001 | no :\ | 15:59 |
| cmaloney | and MERIT dial-up? :) | 15:59 |
| jrwren | hahaha @ usenet mirror | 16:00 |
| ColonelPanic001 | we have a pretty speedy connection | 16:00 |
| _stink_ | no but we have a guy who will tell you ALL ABOUT the dial up pool | 16:00 |
| jrwren | no one gets usenet feeds anymore except usenet providers. | 16:00 |
| _stink_ | while peeing next to you at a urinal | 16:00 |
| cmaloney | _stink_: I'll begt | 16:00 |
| cmaloney | bet | 16:00 |
| cscheib | lulz | 16:00 |
| cscheib | MERIT | 16:00 |
| cscheib | I used to abuse that shit | 16:00 |
| cmaloney | who didn't? | 16:00 |
| cmaloney | When they rerquired a login is when I had to get a ISP | 16:00 |
| jrwren | they used to not require login? | 16:01 |
| cmaloney | _stink_: Is that where his office is? | 16:01 |
| jrwren | like you'd just dial a line and be on? | 16:01 |
| _stink_ | haha | 16:01 |
| _stink_ | may as well be | 16:01 |
| cscheib | yea, I had a login | 16:01 |
| cmaloney | jrwren: I thought they didn't have a login for a bit | 16:01 |
| cscheib | I don't remember if I had my own or stole someone else's | 16:01 |
| jrwren | i've no idea. | 16:01 |
| cmaloney | Maybe I'm thinking of something else | 16:01 |
| cmaloney | MichNet? | 16:01 |
| cmaloney | dunno | 16:01 |
| jrwren | michnet was part of merit | 16:01 |
| cscheib | ^^ | 16:01 |
| cmaloney | All I remember is using it for a bit before having to get an ISP account | 16:02 |
| cmaloney | Maybe I had an account. | 16:02 |
| cmaloney | memory foggy | 16:02 |
| jrwren | you probably did from OU | 16:03 |
| cscheib | they probably locked the account you were (ab)using | 16:03 |
| jrwren | weren't you an enrolled student for a while? | 16:03 |
| cmaloney | I worked at WSU | 16:03 |
| cmaloney | I wasn't a student at OSU | 16:03 |
| cmaloney | was a student at Hope | 16:03 |
| jrwren | not a state school. | 16:03 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, all private. | 16:03 |
| jrwren | was hope a merit member? | 16:03 |
| cmaloney | Nope | 16:03 |
| jrwren | i didn't think so. | 16:03 |
| cscheib | I almost went to OU | 16:04 |
| cmaloney | cscheib: Then you looked at the curriculum? :) | 16:04 |
| cscheib | well, they were offering me a lot of money | 16:04 |
| cscheib | more than Kettering was | 16:04 |
| cmaloney | And realized their engineering dept was junk. | 16:04 |
| _stink_ | cmaloney: my sister in law was at hope for 3 years... maybe around '93-'96? | 16:05 |
| _stink_ | not sure if that overlaps you | 16:05 |
| cmaloney | _stink_: I graduated in '93 | 16:05 |
| cscheib | is CompEng out of the eng dept or compsci dept? | 16:05 |
| cmaloney | I ruined it for her I'm sure. | 16:05 |
| _stink_ | ah ok | 16:05 |
| _stink_ | haha | 16:05 |
| cscheib | I was in 3rd grade in 93 | 16:05 |
| cmaloney | cscheib: Not sure | 16:05 |
| cmaloney | but they had an awesome instructor there who taught assembly | 16:06 |
| cmaloney | JoDee really liked him | 16:06 |
| cmaloney | Shit,b lanking on the name | 16:06 |
| cmaloney | There's a language that has his name, but I'm not sure that's related. | 16:07 |
| cscheib | oddly enough, I probably would never have met jrwren or jcastro had I gone to OU | 16:07 |
| jrwren | you are too young. | 16:07 |
| cscheib | jrwren: you were working there when I still would have been in college. | 16:08 |
| jrwren | comp eng IS a dept. Its the Department of Computer Science and Engineering in the School of Engineering | 16:08 |
| cmaloney | Apparently Comp Sci is under the Engineering dept. | 16:08 |
| cmaloney | http://wwwp.oakland.edu/secs/directory/#tab-2 | 16:08 |
| jrwren | and OU wasn't-isn't completely terrible - its largely what you make of it. | 16:09 |
| jrwren | holy crap Jerry got old | 16:09 |
| cmaloney | Well, JoDee got into a degree program that didn't translate into anything automotive | 16:09 |
| cmaloney | and her later attempts showed a department that didn't have their shit together. | 16:10 |
| cmaloney | jrwren: Hate to break it to you but we all got old . :) | 16:10 |
| jrwren | CS at OU? | 16:10 |
| cmaloney | Physics Engineering | 16:11 |
| cmaloney | Engineering Physics | 16:11 |
| cmaloney | rather | 16:11 |
| jrwren | i never understood that field. | 16:11 |
| cmaloney | Physics? | 16:11 |
| jrwren | you use physics in engineering. wtf is physics engineering? | 16:11 |
| cmaloney | Exactly. | 16:12 |
| jrwren | I minored in physics and read QED for fun. I get physics. | 16:12 |
| jcastro | I assumed you'd be the guy making stargates and stuff | 16:12 |
| jrwren | i don't grok "engineering physics" | 16:12 |
| jcastro | you need to know physics and engineering for that | 16:12 |
| _stink_ | fancy name for 'applied physics' | 16:12 |
| cmaloney | jrwren: Well, they got rid of the degree | 16:12 |
| jrwren | cmaloney: go figure! | 16:12 |
| cmaloney | It was basically engineering for folks who didn't give a shit about cars or medicine. | 16:12 |
| cmaloney | aka JoDee. | 16:12 |
| _stink_ | like most degrees with 'physics' in the name, HR departments don't know what the fuck someone holding it might know | 16:13 |
| _stink_ | so they can't get jobs | 16:13 |
| _stink_ | that they would be good at. | 16:13 |
| cmaloney | Unfortuantely | 16:13 |
| _stink_ | not that i'm bitter. :) | 16:13 |
| jrwren | physics - people who think better than others. :p | 16:13 |
| cmaloney | And Physics is an awesome career-starter if you're a) planning on not being in Michigan, and b) are freshly coming off of the excitement from the Apollo Space missions | 16:13 |
| _stink_ | due to self flaggelation. | 16:14 |
| cmaloney | Imagine the person flagellating themselves is a sphere. | 16:14 |
| _stink_ | zero wind resistance. | 16:14 |
| cmaloney | ++ | 16:14 |
| cmaloney | brb | 16:14 |
| _stink_ | cmaloney: you don't feel the space race buzz in the air still? | 16:14 |
| cmaloney | _stink_: Yeah, that's what penny for NASA is all about: we shouldn't be spending whole dollars on the program | 16:33 |
| ColonelPanic001 | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+mirror/ftp.wayne.edu-release | 18:44 |
| ColonelPanic001 | here is my contribution to the ubuntu | 18:44 |
| jrwren | ya'll run a mirror? | 19:03 |
| jrwren | wow! 12.10! | 19:03 |
| cmaloney | I think that's why it's pending review | 19:03 |
| cmaloney | Very nice. | 19:04 |
| jrwren | is it intentionally a PPC only mirror? | 19:04 |
| jrwren | and an iso only mirror? | 19:04 |
| jrwren | oh nevermind, there is some amd64 | 19:04 |
| ColonelPanic001 | yeah, the ubuntu mirror has been around for years here | 20:08 |
| ColonelPanic001 | I guess no one bothered to try and get it listed | 20:08 |
| jrwren | i think tehy were listed and it would get overloaded and so it was removed from listing | 20:31 |
| jrwren | or had a prohibitively small concurrent connection limit, again leading to its delisting | 20:31 |
