[14:01] <rick_h_> morning and such
[14:26] <cmaloney> Good morning!
[14:26] <cmaloney> How's the morning so far?
[14:26] <rick_h_> wheeee
[14:27] <cmaloney> inbox zero looking less and less likely?
[14:27] <rick_h_> hah, wtf is that?!
[14:28] <rick_h_> only have to "loading more" once in my home account and twice on my work accoun?
[14:30] <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. :)
[14:31] <cmaloney> Also: getting retweeted by Jeff Jarvis is a great way to blow up your Twitter.
[14:32] <rick_h_> nice!
[14:32] <rick_h_> what tweet did that?
[14:33] <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
[16:53] <rick_h_> wtf, that was 10 years ago?! http://arstechnica.com/science/2016/02/bbc-planet-earth-ii-4k-uhd-drones/
[16:55] <jrwren> 4k isn't enough. i want 8k ;]
[16:56] <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.
[16:57] <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> ;)
[16:58]  * 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
[16:59] <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'
[17:00] <jrwren> 'offline' == works when my ISP is down
[17:00] <jrwren> we have fun different definitions of offline.  I like them.
[18:45] <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
[18:46] <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)
[18:47] <rick_h_> heh
[18:48] <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
[18:51] <jrwren> rick_h_: that was quick.
[18:52] <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
[18:58] <_stink_> i just play nethack on flights
[18:59] <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/
[19:01] <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
[19:03] <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
[19:04] <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
[19:05] <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?
[19:06] <rick_h_> I mean a couple of grand a month in writing and it'd be totally worth it if it helped you write?
[19:07] <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
[19:08] <cmaloney> but it saves .txt files
[19:09] <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
[19:10] <cmaloney> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travels_with_Charley
[19:15] <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
[19:16] <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
[19:22] <jrwren> i remember those tandy's.
[19:23] <cmaloney> Yeah, Rat Shack had a ton of them
[19:25] <jrwren> well yeah, tandy.
[19:27] <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
[19:28] <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
[19:29] <cmaloney> and turned them into steaming piles of garbage.
[19:31] <jrwren> well, gateway is acer now.
[19:31] <jrwren> :)
[19:33] <cmaloney> woo woo
[19:33] <jrwren> i always forget taht there actually aren't that many manufacturers or even sellers these days.
[19:34] <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
[19:35] <cmaloney> (please don't tell me they have Kirkland laptops)
[19:39] <jrwren> i'm kinda surprised too
[19:40] <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 ;]
[19:45] <cmaloney> heh
