| rick_h_ | morning and such | 14:01 |
|---|---|---|
| cmaloney | Good morning! | 14:26 |
| cmaloney | How's the morning so far? | 14:26 |
| rick_h_ | wheeee | 14:26 |
| cmaloney | inbox zero looking less and less likely? | 14:27 |
| rick_h_ | hah, wtf is that?! | 14:27 |
| rick_h_ | only have to "loading more" once in my home account and twice on my work accoun? | 14:28 |
| cmaloney | Nah, it means everything in the inbox is captured appropriately, clarified, and put onto a list so you can create next actions from it and work from that list rather than your inbox. :) | 14:30 |
| cmaloney | Also: getting retweeted by Jeff Jarvis is a great way to blow up your Twitter. | 14:31 |
| rick_h_ | nice! | 14:32 |
| rick_h_ | what tweet did that? | 14:32 |
| cmaloney | The canary gets blamed for the coal mine disasters | 14:33 |
| cmaloney | in response to some newspaper person going off on him for destroying newspapers | 14:33 |
| rick_h_ | wtf, that was 10 years ago?! http://arstechnica.com/science/2016/02/bbc-planet-earth-ii-4k-uhd-drones/ | 16:53 |
| jrwren | 4k isn't enough. i want 8k ;] | 16:55 |
| jrwren | kidding asside, i look forward to seeing this in 4k | 16:56 |
| cmaloney | all the K | 16:56 |
| jrwren | Kelvins! | 16:56 |
| cmaloney | 640K should be enough for everyone | 16:56 |
| rick_h_ | ugh, anyone have a 4k tv? | 16:56 |
| jrwren | well that is pretty hot. at 640Kelvins we'd all be dead. | 16:56 |
| cmaloney | I had a 4 kilo TV | 16:56 |
| jrwren | I have a 4k tv. | 16:56 |
| rick_h_ | do you? cool I hadn't realized anyone was getting that deep into stuff | 16:57 |
| cmaloney | I think we had a 45 kilo TV at one point | 16:57 |
| * rick_h_ hasn't moved past 32" led and barely uses 1080p | 16:57 | |
| jrwren | I'm NOT a toy boy. | 16:57 |
| jrwren | my previous TV was 26" | 16:57 |
| cmaloney | *bullshit* | 16:57 |
| jrwren | o-O | 16:57 |
| cmaloney | ;) | 16:57 |
| * rick_h_ is a toy boy...but not really into tv toys I guess | 16:58 | |
| cmaloney | I'm still running DVDs | 16:58 |
| jrwren | ok, i'm a cheap son of a bitch when it comes to toys, and when finally getting to bigger than 26" TV, it wasn't cost prohibitive | 16:58 |
| rick_h_ | sdcard in the motox pure means "offline all the movies!" yay | 16:58 |
| jrwren | kodi+samba share means offline all the movies... terabytes of them | 16:58 |
| rick_h_ | how do you offline them onto planes? | 16:59 |
| jrwren | i don't. | 16:59 |
| jrwren | what is a plane? :p | 16:59 |
| jrwren | i sleep on those, the 2 times a year I go on them (yes, only 2 times last year) | 16:59 |
| rick_h_ | hah 'offline' == 'works on internetless plane' | 16:59 |
| jrwren | 'offline' == works when my ISP is down | 17:00 |
| jrwren | we have fun different definitions of offline. I like them. | 17:00 |
| cmaloney | offline is whenever the power goes out and the battery on the phone loses charge. | 18:45 |
| cmaloney | or if I'm in a plane | 18:45 |
| cmaloney | which happens about once a decade | 18:45 |
| cmaloney | I've been on a plane I think four times in my life | 18:46 |
| * cmaloney counts on his fingers | 18:46 | |
| cmaloney | (two times for Classic Gaming Expo in 1999 / 2000, once for ALU, and once for Pycon 2014) | 18:46 |
| rick_h_ | heh | 18:47 |
| rick_h_ | wed i'll hit gold status for 2016 wheee | 18:48 |
| cmaloney | There's only been 2 months | 18:48 |
| cmaloney | not even | 18:48 |
| cmaloney | shit | 18:48 |
| rick_h_ | yea, crazy start to the year | 18:48 |
| cmaloney | (OK, that doesn't include return trips) | 18:48 |
| cmaloney | so 8 times | 18:48 |
| jrwren | rick_h_: that was quick. | 18:51 |
| jrwren | someday, i'll be bronze. | 18:52 |
| jrwren | i couldn't figure out all teh status, then I realized it is just lick starcraft2 ladder. | 18:52 |
| rick_h_ | jrwren: yea, well 15k of the 50k (600 miles short today) were carry over | 18:52 |
| _stink_ | i just play nethack on flights | 18:58 |
| rick_h_ | hah | 18:59 |
| rick_h_ | here you go cmaloney, for next nanowrimo or whatever it is http://techcrunch.com/2016/02/23/freewrite-the-distraction-free-smart-typewriter-is-now-on-sale/ | 18:59 |
| rick_h_ | ok, I want to play with one | 19:01 |
| rick_h_ | but not enough to buy one, so someone else get one so I can try it out :P | 19:01 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, I aaaaalmost got one of those. | 19:03 |
| cmaloney | They're made in Detroit | 19:03 |
| rick_h_ | nice | 19:03 |
| cmaloney | Not $500 worth of writing though | 19:03 |
| rick_h_ | yea | 19:04 |
| cmaloney | I have a Model 100 that will suit the bill (NEC 8201A, but still) | 19:04 |
| rick_h_ | it's cool, love the eink screen idea | 19:04 |
| rick_h_ | but $500 means you need to make some $$ from writing on it I think | 19:05 |
| cmaloney | I'd have to make a lot of money from writing | 19:05 |
| rick_h_ | I don't know about that. I mean, a good tool you need to make back in a few months? | 19:05 |
| rick_h_ | I mean a couple of grand a month in writing and it'd be totally worth it if it helped you write? | 19:06 |
| cmaloney | Oh totally. If I made my living writing and the difference between me writing and fucking around on the internet meant > $500 I'd buy it in a second. | 19:07 |
| rick_h_ | lol | 19:07 |
| cmaloney | but it saves .txt files | 19:08 |
| cmaloney | "The Freewrite will last between 3-4 weeks with normal usage, which we define as 30 minute of writing per day, with Wi-Fi turned off." | 19:09 |
| cmaloney | This would be awesome for rick_h_'s version of "Travel's with Charlie" | 19:09 |
| rick_h_ | Travels with Charlie? | 19:09 |
| * rick_h_ does not get reference | 19:09 | |
| cmaloney | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travels_with_Charley | 19:10 |
| cmaloney | http://www.lightbolt.com/tandy-model-100-102-200-nec-8201a-8300-stuff/ | 19:15 |
| cmaloney | Working NEC 8201a with Full Bank of RAM (32k RAM) – $129.99 | 19:15 |
| cmaloney | That's awesome. | 19:16 |
| cmaloney | not sure about the $40 for his transfer software though | 19:16 |
| * cmaloney is half-tempted to bring one to the next CHC | 19:16 | |
| jrwren | i remember those tandy's. | 19:22 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, Rat Shack had a ton of them | 19:23 |
| jrwren | well yeah, tandy. | 19:25 |
| cmaloney | They'll always be Rat Shack to me | 19:27 |
| cmaloney | Tandy Radio Shack model ... | 19:27 |
| cmaloney | Still think the MOdel 3 was a damn sexy machine | 19:27 |
| jrwren | makes me wonder... | 19:28 |
| cmaloney | heh | 19:28 |
| jrwren | what if dell or acer had bought ratshack and used it to peddle their garbage. | 19:28 |
| cmaloney | Gateway would have done it | 19:28 |
| cmaloney | totally | 19:28 |
| cmaloney | had they not had their ill-performing showrooms they would have totally bought Radio Shack | 19:28 |
| cmaloney | and turned them into steaming piles of garbage. | 19:29 |
| jrwren | well, gateway is acer now. | 19:31 |
| jrwren | :) | 19:31 |
| cmaloney | woo woo | 19:33 |
| jrwren | i always forget taht there actually aren't that many manufacturers or even sellers these days. | 19:33 |
| jrwren | i'm used to the late 90s where everyone was selling their own desktops and laptops | 19:34 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, now it's all a handful of manufacturers | 19:34 |
| cmaloney | I'm surprised Costco doesn't have Kirkland laptops | 19:34 |
| cmaloney | (please don't tell me they have Kirkland laptops) | 19:35 |
| jrwren | i'm kinda surprised too | 19:39 |
| jrwren | might as well buy a clevo and stick their name on it. | 19:40 |
| jrwren | they are probably too smart for that cuz they know its a support nightmare. | 19:40 |
| jrwren | not much to support wine, peanut butter, and olive oil ;] | 19:40 |
| cmaloney | heh | 19:45 |
