[12:18] a.k.a. everything is broken [12:18] rick_h_: that sucks [12:18] naw, it'll gte fixed [12:18] get that is [12:18] Yeah, but until then it sucks. :) [12:19] how goes things down south? [12:19] Doing well [12:19] pyohio go off awesomely? [12:19] just wrapping up things with $client [12:19] PyOhio was excellent [12:19] Last data load [12:19] woot [12:19] on both accounts [12:19] Yeah, PyOhio was really good [12:20] Mike Pirnat asked how you were [12:20] Watch the K Lars Lohn talk if nothing else [12:20] as did Eric F. (not attempting to spell name correctly) [12:20] yea, :( second year in a row missing [12:21] Well, Mike P. missed last year so it's all good [12:21] You're allowed one missed year. After that Eric starts hunting you down. [12:21] ;) [12:21] hah [12:22] He talked to me about a PyMI conference within 5 minutes of my arrival [12:22] brousch: I think he gave up with me [12:22] hah! [12:22] he never gives up [12:22] Mentioned he needed a reason to come up to Michigan. [12:22] a good reason [12:22] beer not enough? wtf [12:23] Apparently noyt [12:23] they have our beer at Meijer [12:23] who knew? [12:23] They have Meijer? [12:23] They do [12:23] in Bowling Green at least [12:23] I used their restroom [12:23] Well shoot, what's left? [12:23] National Coney [12:23] Beaches! [12:24] On a lake that doesn't catch fire and sprout toxic blooms [12:24] Hah [12:24] I do love that "National Coney Island" is only in southern Michigan [12:24] PyMI will be held in Sleeping Bear Dunes. [12:25] Southeast MI at that [12:25] brousch: I wouldn't mind that one iota [12:25] Haven't been there since I was a kid [12:27] I have a vision of a family-friendly conference in West MI in summer. Bring your spouse and family. They can visit museums, beach, gardens, etc while you geek out at the conference. Wine and beer afterwards [12:29] But it will never happen due to lack of time [12:30] brousch: You're already organizing most of west MI [12:30] Oh no, I only run the GRPUG now [12:30] And CoNGA-WM, but that's really no work [12:31] I do some parts of WMMakers too, but not a lot [12:31] BarCampGR [12:32] The biggest problem is it would have to be july/august for the beaches, and those months are full of conferences already [12:35] yeah [12:39] <_stink_> brousch only runs one thing, plus three other things [12:40] Yes, much lighter load than I used to have, which is good because my work situation changed to not allow me to do as much during the day [12:45] We could think about doing it during ArtPrize, but it would have to be in Holland or farther away [12:45] cmaloney: Are you still tight with your Alma Mater? [12:46] brousch: Not particularly. [12:51] OK,t hat's enough thinking about it for now [12:51] heh [12:52] I heard the children's museum thing is open in detroit again [12:52] http://www.mi-sci.org/ [12:53] Yeah, that's cool. [12:55] <_stink_> yeah i'm volunteering with them [12:55] <_stink_> it's a neat place [12:55] <_stink_> very lean staff [12:55] We went there like 3 months before it closed [12:55] <_stink_> in terms of numbers. i cannot speak to girth. [12:57] I'm supposed to arrange a family trip to Tha D for the ford/zoo/science center this fall [13:00] brousch: orly? [13:01] brousch: awesome! are your kids not in school? [13:02] Yes. I promised we would go back to the ford since we couldn't see the village or many regular exhibits at makerfaire. And I said we'd visit the science center when it re-opened, and we're supposed to go to the zoo each year, but we didn't go last year [13:02] jrwren: It would be a weekend, or two [13:02] brousch: cool, cool. === michaela is now known as Guest84202 [13:17] good morning guys [13:19] good morning [13:24] Good morning [13:24] * cmaloney is listening to Herrschaft - Kimi Ga Yo [13:24] jrwren: ^ [13:25] https://herrschaft.bandcamp.com/album/les-12-vertiges [13:36] cmaloney: I found a good station on Google Music Radio: Grindcore's Death Trip Radio [13:59] heh === michaela is now known as Guest50242 === michaela is now known as Guest9749 [15:49] where can i buy pay as you go mifi? [15:50] good luck [15:50] it's too $$ in the US [15:50] tmobile might have one but not sure [15:50] ugh [15:50] I tried it with verizon/att and it was waaaay $$$ [15:57] yeah, i just looked. tmob has it, but its not cheap and pay as you go you have to buy the device which is ~$125 [15:57] which is about $100 more than I wanted to spend total :) [16:35] jrwren: maybe going to A2 again tomorrow, if I don't have to go to Southfield instead [16:35] cscheib: awesome! lunch? [16:35] yup [16:35] I'll text/IRC/whatever when I know wtf is happening [16:39] cool [16:39] jcastro, kdub either of you tentatively want to join? [16:39] n0p: ? [16:40] I wonder if there are any ohter AA area folks that I don't know about [16:40] maybe? I have to see what my car situation is [16:41] jrwren: I am in AA, however I have meetings starting at 1PM on the northeast corner of town. [16:42] some tool mis-wired the SAS loop on a Data Domain, so my A2 plan is only tentative right now [16:42] may have to run and fix that. [16:42] cool. [16:42] didn't know n0p was idling on here, even [16:43] haven't seen him in years [16:46] jrwren: I would recommend Ting but it's not good for out of the country [16:47] https://ting.com/shop/sim [16:47] They do allow tethering on phones that support it [16:49] DrDaemonEye: hey, I'm in the NE corner of town :) [16:50] cmaloney: $$$ becuase I have to buy the mifi [16:50] jrwren: Right, but you could get an $80 phone [16:50] and use that [16:51] (3G though. $164 for a Mifi unit) [16:56] jrwren, tentatively yes [16:56] jrwren: oh really? where abouts, may I ask? [17:00] DrDaemonEye: a short walk from Traverwood Library, or a longer walk from Plymouth Rd/Traverwood Rd intersection [17:06] jrwren: nice. I'm over at Green and Plymoth. [17:08] DrDaemonEye: cool! [17:08] yeah. good area, but one heck of a commute for me... I live over on the west side [17:15] DrDaemonEye: ah yeah, that is a trek. its not far, but with traffic and no direct roads, UGH [17:20] jrwren: cscheib: yeah, lmk if/where/when you guys are going [17:32] jrwren: yeah... Once I get up onto Broadway and then over to Plymoth Rd, it gets better. [17:33] DrDaemonEye: sure. with huron under construction, the comute home must really suck. [17:33] jrwren: It is actually not bad... I take broadway all the way down to miller, then over to Maple. [17:34] Actually, I cut through the waterhill neighborhood, as I am in North Waterhill. [17:34] DrDaemonEye: i was picking my daughter up from summer camps downtown at 5pm a few weeks ago and that part was terrible [17:35] jrwren: That it is. It is part of the reason I take the bus most of the time. [17:36] I don't know where that is. [17:36] ah, yeah, bus rules. [17:36] Waterhill neighborhood? [17:36] yeah. [17:37] It's up in the area of Newport, Miller, and M-14 [17:37] oh, is it called htat because the reservoir is there? [17:37] Not sure [17:37] But, I am right next to the reservoir. [17:37] cool. [17:38] its nice up there. [17:38] when we were house shopping there was this awesome place for sale, but we couldn't quite afford it. [17:38] yeah... found two rooms in a house for $500/month, all utilities included [17:40] WOW! that is a crazy good deal for AA [17:40] yeah... got it through the UMHS Homeshare program [17:42] you work for UMHS? [17:49] I don't actually. [17:57] lost cement truck is doing wonders from my UPS radar [18:09] cmaloney: hahahaha [18:32] rick_h_: I ordered the new Moto G [19:17] jcastro: sweet [19:23] jcastro: cool, I looked at that for my wife but even that one is 4.7" now [19:23] wtf happened to 4" phones? [19:24] puny [19:25] I think its worse in iphone land :( [19:27] rick_h_: yeah, normal phones are basically dead [19:27] it's all phablets now. :-/ [19:27] jcastro: :( [19:27] jcastro: I really want to get the new motox but damn I don't want anything that big [19:27] going to this one was :/ [19:28] my poor wife has nothing she likes. Even the sony mini one is like 4.5"? [19:29] I'm pretty much over phones [19:29] just going to spend the least I can from now on [19:30] heh, I filled up 32gb on mine :/ I use it too much. [19:30] though now that I have my n9 fixed I do use it a lot, but my phone is just always on me [19:36] i'm still hoping for iphone7 in a 4S or 5 form factor [19:36] and if I don't get that, well then eff it, I'll go 6+ :p [19:52] jrwren / n0p / jcastro : gotta go to southfield instead :-/ [19:52] try again next week [19:53] Can't you guys force a small ubuntu touch phone? [19:53] cscheib: bummer! [19:53] brousch: hahahahaha. NO! [19:53] brousch: and, the ubuntu phones are small. They are the 4" size IIRC [19:54] Well what good is knowing all of these Canonical people if they have no power?! [19:54] Firefox phones are small, and cheap [19:55] brousch: i sometimes ask myself, what good is working for Canonical if I have no power. :) [19:58] Well there's always the money [20:03] brousch: bah, I can get that stuff anywhere :) [20:35] we have some power, just not in the places most folks want us to :P [23:41] seems to me in the handheld space, everyone has been swinging for the bleachers of phones, instead of trying to get some solid baseruns with non-cell tablets. [23:42] if I could buy a just-turn-off-the-gps-and-rms-might-even-use-it free tablet that could be great. [23:43] there are RFY wifi routes, so it would be off to the races for all the other work that would need to be done on these. [23:43] s/routes/routers/
