[00:10] <cmaloney> EVening
[01:13] <cscheib> it is indeed evening
[01:13] <rick_h_> party
[01:14] <rick_h_> chc party
[01:14] <cscheib> jcastro: relevant to your interests: I had tacos at Azteca tonight
[13:21] <cmaloney> Good morning
[13:28] <rick_h_> morn
[13:31] <_stink_> yo
[15:45] <cmaloney> *Sigh*
[15:46] <cscheib> somebody have a case of the Thursdays?
[15:46] <cmaloney> Having a case of "what I thought was a good launch wasn't"
[15:47] <cscheib> oh?
[15:48] <cmaloney> Yeah, long story
[15:48] <cmaloney> suffice to say what we thought we didn't need we needed
[15:49] <cscheib> happens
[15:54] <cmaloney> Yeah
[15:56] <ColonelPanic001> I recently have assumed command of the university's mirror FTP/HTTP server.
[15:56]  * ColonelPanic001 mirrors bookie
[15:57] <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.
[15:58] <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"
[15:59] <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? :)
[16:00] <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
[16:01] <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> ^^
[16:02] <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
[16:03] <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.
[16:04] <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.
[16:05] <_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
[16:06] <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
[16:07] <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.
[16:08] <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
[16:09] <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
[16:10] <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?
[16:11] <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?
[16:12] <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.
[16:13] <_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
[16:14] <_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?
[16:33] <cmaloney> _stink_: Yeah, that's what penny for NASA is all about: we shouldn't be spending whole dollars on the program
[18:44] <ColonelPanic001> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+mirror/ftp.wayne.edu-release
[18:44] <ColonelPanic001> here is my contribution to the ubuntu
[19:03] <jrwren> ya'll run a mirror?
[19:03] <jrwren> wow! 12.10!
[19:03] <cmaloney> I think that's why it's pending review
[19:04] <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
[20:08] <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
[20:31] <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
