| cmaloney | Just had a nice little power outage here | 01:52 |
|---|---|---|
| _stink_ | all those A/C units kicking on | 02:04 |
| greg-g | it was 100 in Petaluma today | 02:11 |
| greg-g | 103 yesterday | 02:11 |
| rick_h_ | ugh | 02:12 |
| rick_h_ | hot sucks, bring on fall/winter | 02:12 |
| greg-g | I kinda like it, but it does get old after a while (and makes people cranky) | 02:23 |
| cscheib | rick_h_: fall, maybe... winter, no. | 13:45 |
| rick_h_ | booo! bring on the snow! | 13:45 |
| rick_h_ | though I'll miss fishing night once winter comes | 13:45 |
| cmaloney | Morning | 13:54 |
| cmaloney | rick_h_: We'll miss vicarious-fishing. ;) | 13:55 |
| rick_h_ | cmaloney: hat came mount arriving tomorrow :) | 13:56 |
| rick_h_ | camera | 13:56 |
| cmaloney | Steady cam coming soon? :) | 14:02 |
| rick_h_ | naw, loses something of the gritty quality :P | 14:02 |
| === dzho_ is now known as dzho | ||
| brousch | rick_h_: ice fishing | 14:19 |
| cmaloney | brousch: shush | 15:20 |
| greg-g | slush | 15:21 |
| brousch | greg-g++ | 15:25 |
| cmaloney | heh | 15:25 |
| greg-g | :) | 15:33 |
| rick_h_ | no ice fishing, I like fishing because i'm outside in nice weather :) | 15:36 |
| greg-g | but beer! getting away from family! that's the entire point of fishing right? | 15:39 |
| rick_h_ | ummm no, it's sitting in a kayak on a calm body of water with egrets, swans, hawks, and some fishing coming around :) | 15:40 |
| brousch | I thought it was to get cheap seafood | 15:40 |
| rick_h_ | though yes, without the 5yr old adds to the peaceful factor | 15:40 |
| rick_h_ | no, not cheap | 15:40 |
| rick_h_ | kayak + rods/reels + baits + pfd + ... | 15:40 |
| cmaloney | As opposed to freezing ass off sitting in a shanty around a hole hoping you're not generating enough heat to melt the ice | 15:40 |
| brousch | fresh? | 15:40 |
| rick_h_ | cmaloney: umm yea, not really the reasons I got fishing | 15:41 |
| cmaloney | My godfather did ice fishing. I was out there at a young age wondering what the appeal was | 15:41 |
| greg-g | I actually kind of like non-shanty ice fishing | 15:42 |
| brousch | A guy at work brings a small apartment onto the ice and camps in it for a week | 15:42 |
| greg-g | it's an excuse to get on the ice and chill | 15:42 |
| greg-g | (no pun intended, but I"ll take it) | 15:42 |
| rick_h_ | I'd rather relax at home, with the fireplace, and power | 15:44 |
| greg-g | oh, the home with fireplace after being on the ice is even better! | 15:45 |
| rick_h_ | :) | 15:45 |
| greg-g | my grandparents lived on a lake in northern WI, loved it up there year round | 15:45 |
| greg-g | wish my uncles/aunts wouldn't have sold it | 15:45 |
| cmaloney | http://www.enricozini.org/2015/debian/standup-comedy-notes/ <- greg-g This is good stuff (slightly NSFW) | 17:13 |
| cmaloney | greg-g: Thanks for sharing that on identi.ca | 17:13 |
| jcastro | http://searchengineland.com/wikipedia-confirms-they-are-steadily-losing-google-traffic-228237 | 19:46 |
| jcastro | greg-g: ^^ I've been noticing that for a while now | 19:46 |
| jcastro | it's like the wikipedia results are coming up lower and lower | 19:46 |
| greg-g | jcastro: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T108895 | 20:20 |
| greg-g | https://github.com/wikimedia-research/memo/blob/master/report.pdf | 20:21 |
| greg-g | also, who the fuck trusts searchengineland? | 20:21 |
| greg-g | they are the worst | 20:21 |
| greg-g | but, yeah, stupid knowledge graph | 20:21 |
| greg-g | I don't konw the numbers too well | 20:21 |
| jcastro | I don't care much about searchengine land | 20:22 |
| jcastro | I'm just saying I notice that wikipedia results are now usually half way down the page | 20:22 |
| jcastro | instead of the usual top | 20:22 |
| greg-g | yeah :/ | 20:22 |
| greg-g | I think? | 20:22 |
| jcastro | or, google just scrapes the info and presents it to me | 20:22 |
| greg-g | they do a lot more than that, but yeah :) | 20:22 |
| greg-g | they scrap and all in their own info etc to make that "knowledge graph" thing | 20:22 |
| jcastro | they do enough to make me not click through | 20:22 |
| jcastro | which I suspects hurts in the long run | 20:23 |
| greg-g | yup | 20:23 |
| greg-g | readers -> light editors -> heavy editors | 20:23 |
| greg-g | we're also losing active editors | 20:23 |
| jcastro | I've never really edited | 20:24 |
| jcastro | I am not expert enough in one thing to contribute anything, mostly I consume | 20:24 |
| greg-g | word, most editors start out with typo/grammar fixes | 20:25 |
| cmaloney | I've done a handful of edits | 20:44 |
| cmaloney | my biggest deterrent to editing is stepping into some flame-war between editors | 20:46 |
| greg-g | yup, it sucks | 20:54 |
| jcastro | http://www.theonion.com/article/jeff-bezos-assures-amazon-employees-hr-working-100-51121 | 21:04 |
| jcastro | cmaloney: yea, it's like stepping into a bunch of linux geeks arguing about something | 21:04 |
| jcastro | aka, I don't want to be there | 21:04 |
| wolfger | KDE rules! Gnome drools! :-p | 21:06 |
| cmaloney | Or worse: editing something on a page that has little noteriety | 21:09 |
| cmaloney | for fear that the added attention will get the information that's there yanked | 21:10 |
| jcastro | http://arstechnica.com/science/2015/08/socially-controversial-science-topics-on-wikipedia-draw-edit-wars/ | 21:12 |
| jcastro | just ran into this | 21:12 |
| jcastro | creepy coincidence feeling | 21:13 |
