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