[11:57] <rick_h_> morning
[13:08] <cmaloney> morning!
[13:09] <cmaloney> rick_h_: How was the drive back?
[13:09] <rick_h_> cmaloney: i hate my wife's car
[13:10] <cmaloney> rick_h_: Which one is that? I'm still thinking you have Ruby, and that's not right
[13:15] <rick_h_> cmaloney: the VW sportwagen
[13:15] <rick_h_> wagon
[13:15] <cmaloney> Ah, right
[13:15] <rick_h_> small, cramped, and being a "sport" means "no suspension give"
[13:16] <cmaloney> Well, to be fair, it's not the luxury-liner of your truck. ;)
[13:16] <rick_h_> to be fair...I'm spoiled
[13:16] <cmaloney> But yeah, even though the Caliber was my old car it's strange for me to drive it. ;)
[13:16] <rick_h_> lol

[13:25] <shakes808> How was PyOH?
[13:25] <cmaloney> Pretty good
[13:25] <cmaloney> Some really good talks
[13:25] <cmaloney> lots of energy
[13:45] <shakes808> awesome.  going to try to go next year
[13:45] <cmaloney> Cool!
[13:45] <cmaloney> It'll be the tenth year of PyOhio.
[13:46] <shakes808> haha, sweet.
[20:04] <shakes808> is pyohio last weekend in july every year? or does the date float?
[20:18] <cmaloney> It tends to be the last weekend in July
[20:18] <cmaloney> next year's is announced
[20:23] <shakes808> I don't see it. The site still has this past date still up there
[20:24] <rick_h_> they just got confirmation today and posted it on twitter
[20:24] <rick_h_> check their twitter account
[20:25] <shakes808> rick_h_: ... what is twitter?!  haha.  I will see if I can log into mine.  I don't do the social media often.
[20:25] <rick_h_> shakes808: ummm, ok. Well, then you might see if cmaloney can send you a handwritten letter
[20:25] <rick_h_> preferably in quil and ink, but maybe #2 pencil :)
[20:26] <cmaloney> I'll sharpen up my Field Notes pencil for just such an occasion
[20:26] <shakes808> rick_h_: I would prefer quil.  I enjoy the wax stamp as well!  It makes it official
[20:26] <rick_h_> oooh, not sure how cmaloney signet ring is doing these days
[20:28] <shakes808> rick_h_: HAHA, then I am not sure if I will be able to make it, since it isn't official  ;)
[20:28] <rick_h_> shakes808: will be a bummer man
[20:30] <shakes808> OSU campus, then I will be wearing my U of M shirts that weekend :)
[20:32] <rick_h_> john did that...kind of crazy if you ask me but to each their own
[20:32] <cmaloney> heh
[20:32] <shakes808> Did he come home? cmaloney, did he show up to work today? [ he still works there, correct? ]
[20:33] <cmaloney> Yeah, he made it back
[20:33] <cmaloney> (was going to joke about OSU removing him from the timeline, but that's a power even OSU doesn't have)
[20:33] <cmaloney> s/doesn't/shouldn't/
[20:34] <shakes808> HAHA, nice
[20:38] <greg-g> rick_h_: I remember when nixternal almost got into a fight with a middle-aged woman at a bar for yelling "GO BLUE!" at OhioLinuxFest :)
[20:39] <rick_h_> greg-g: heh, I remember going back to the hotel early after wearing a big UM shirt to OLF
[20:39] <rick_h_> greg-g: especially since we went to a bar with an OSU game playing on the big screens...didn't feel I had chosen wisely
[20:40] <greg-g> :) :)
[20:40] <greg-g> Richard wasn't one to second guess his bad decisions ;)
[20:40] <rick_h_> no...he liked to be proven wrong first
[20:40] <greg-g> makes sense I guess, give him data and all
[20:41] <rick_h_> lol, data driven
[20:41] <greg-g> :)
[20:41] <cmaloney> I'm not sure he updated based on new information. ;)
[20:41] <rick_h_> well, you never know if it's an outlier or not
[20:41] <rick_h_> until you gather more data
[20:41] <greg-g> exactly
[20:41] <cmaloney> had to have a compelling reason
[20:41] <greg-g> need a/b testing
[20:41] <cmaloney> hah
[20:41] <rick_h_> lol
[20:41] <rick_h_> "first I walked in with a subdued UM hat
[20:42] <greg-g> lol
[20:42] <rick_h_> "after no reaction I B tested with a loud UM jump suit"
[20:42] <cmaloney> "then a Mariachi band playing 'Hail to the Victors'"
[20:42] <rick_h_> "the jump suit definitely gathered a larger reaction"
[20:42] <cmaloney> Recommend traveling with the U of M marching band for conclusive evidence.
[20:43] <rick_h_> I'd rather be backed up by the UM offensive and defensive line players
[20:43] <rick_h_> the band...not so much
[20:43] <shakes808> rick_h_: +1 haha
[20:43] <cmaloney> Never underestimate the power of the Tuba player.
[20:43] <cmaloney> You remember Diana. You know better than to trifle with her. ;)
[20:44]  * rick_h_ was in the band, they're full of hot air! bwuhahahahahahahaha
[20:44] <shakes808> cmaloney: is it the player that you shouldn't underestimate, or the use of the tuba?
[20:44] <cmaloney> both
[20:44] <cmaloney> rick_h_: Save for the drummers. We know how to beat things.
[20:44] <cmaloney> ba-dum-PISH
[20:44] <rick_h_> oh boy, we're in deep now
[20:45] <cmaloney> and with the way UofM is playing I'd rather be in the band because they're the only ones beating anything.
[20:45] <shakes808> cmaloney: HAHA, just need to make sure it is the right thing that they are beating....  X)
[20:45] <cmaloney> ba-dum-PISH
[20:45] <rick_h_> says the professional sportsball commentator
[20:45] <cmaloney> I think the only thing they say that's right is "Next year". ;)
[20:46] <cmaloney> (OK, I'ma gonna stop talking out of my ass now)
[20:46] <shakes808> haha, there goes the fun
[20:48] <cmaloney> i think rick_h_ knows I know about as much about Football as I do about Country Music.
[20:48] <cmaloney> eg: not much
[20:49] <cmaloney> ie, rather
[20:49] <rick_h_> :P I know UM is at the top of the rankings for the coming year
[20:49] <jrwren> they are?
[20:50] <jrwren> GO BLUE!
