Roguehorse | quiet day ... everyone must be out =) | 00:00 |
---|---|---|
nhaines | I know I'm not here. | 00:00 |
Roguehorse | LOL | 00:00 |
Roguehorse | had to do an update on my Garmin ... been over a year | 00:01 |
nhaines | I am quite happy I haven't needed my TomTom in a very long time, although I still keep it around on camping or road trips or whatever. | 00:02 |
Roguehorse | I suck at directions so I use mine fairly regularly | 00:03 |
nhaines | Oh, I use my Nexus 5 and Google Maps. | 00:03 |
Roguehorse | now updates on the laptop ... W7HP | 00:03 |
nhaines | Pretty much constantly. | 00:03 |
nhaines | On the bright side, I'm the default voice on UNav for Ubuntu phones :) | 00:03 |
Roguehorse | Yeah, phone works too | 00:03 |
Roguehorse | That's just way cool =) | 00:04 |
ianorlyn | I wonder if microsoft cliamed to love linux don't they have some better voices they could allow screenreaders on linux for | 00:05 |
pleia2 | it's sysadmin day, we're out celebrating (or fixing problems for people, like every other day) | 00:06 |
nhaines | \o/ | 00:08 |
akk | I use OsmAnd for maps -- openstreetmap, plus it works offline (which I usually am). | 00:08 |
nhaines | Google Maps added offline maps *again*. | 00:08 |
nhaines | I'd be more annoyed but they also added a much more useful location history feature. | 00:08 |
akk | Ah, I haven't actually tried in years since way back when they didn't support the android version I had then. | 00:09 |
akk | They do tend to offer things then take them away, though. At least with OsmAnd, in theory I could compile an old version if I needed to. | 00:09 |
akk | (I also keep some old binaries and data sets archived just in case.) | 00:09 |
akk | And openstreetmap shows more trails than google. | 00:10 |
ianorlyn | yeah google kills stuff that would cost them rather than lose money | 00:12 |
akk | Or they "upgrade" the app to make it hard to use, like google maps on browsers. | 00:13 |
akk | Of course all projects do that, but google seems to do it worse than most because they like to redefine what the project is for. | 00:13 |
Roguehorse | \o/ Yay SysAdminDay .... I'm updateing Windows =( | 00:26 |
Roguehorse | Oh, well, it has to get done too .... | 00:26 |
nhaines | Roguehorse: it's a pretty painless update and it's a nice iteration from Windows 8.1 | 00:30 |
Roguehorse | That is true | 00:31 |
Roguehorse | 46 total updates, on 11 now ... gonna be a while | 00:32 |
Roguehorse | getting there, 37 of 46 | 01:09 |
ianorlyn | hmm I don't have anything other than linux really that I boot | 01:27 |
Roguehorse | It's a beautiful day! \o/ | 19:12 |
Roguehorse | I got pictures of the blue moon last night .... | 19:13 |
Roguehorse | they're eh... | 19:13 |
