[14:32] morning [14:33] yes [14:33] Good morning [14:34] <_stink_> maybe? [14:39] probably [14:40] let's think positive [14:56] <_stink_> wow rick_h [14:56] lol [14:56] wow? [14:58] <_stink_> this positivity [14:59] <_stink_> i'm not used to it [15:02] oic, well what can I say [15:03] <_stink_> it's the sunshine [15:03] <_stink_> it makes people feel great [15:05] have to say I'm working in the living room by the giant doorwall so I can get some natural light going [15:05] updated the dry-erase calendar for the next month and loved seeing daylight-savings a month out [15:06] <_stink_> evening sun! [15:07] yea, will be nice [15:07] * rick_h is getting excited [15:07] i'm already very happy that there is post 5:30pm sun. [15:07] we're heading to VA with the camper first week of april so have ot start thinking of getting it out of storage and the like soon [15:07] which means getting the mountain bike ready, wheeee [15:07] happy times coming soon [15:08] yesterday was almost warm enough and dry enough for me to try the bike, but I wussed out. [15:11] it was cold yesterday here. 20s at one point [15:11] I'm kind of a "needs to be > 40 for me to bike it" kind of wimp [15:11] same. [15:12] it got up to 40-42 here early and late afternoon.. but the rain was mixed. and the wind was crazy. [15:14] oh yea, we had rain and then sideways snow and then [15:20] 55 and sunny on sat? [15:20] <_stink_> sunny all week i think [15:38] Still think DST should die in a fire [15:38] +1 [15:38] cmaloney: I don't disagree, but I much prefer sunlight in the morning and after work EOD [15:39] You get that for free when the Earth hit's that part of its orbit. :) [15:42] although I think it's quint: when GWB reset DST to be earlier / end later than it did I thought to myself "what about all of those VCRs that auto-adjusted for DST"? [15:42] Now I'm thinking "if it isn't on the internet / atomic-clock-driven I'm loathe to even set the clock" [15:43] only get devices that pull time from sattelites, radio signals, or your own two hands [15:43] Well, my computer doesn't get time from any of them [15:43] NTP [15:44] that's satelites in my book [15:44] and :P [15:45] Heh [15:45] microwave & stovetop clocks... require setting... every... time... [15:45] Yes [15:45] clocks on walls [15:46] and if I could get away with never setting them I would [15:46] Thermostat is on the internet, and the "wall clock" is radio-wave-driven [15:46] ah, we've got 3 on the wall clocks that are just AA based hand configured things [15:47] cmaloney: you go nest with your thermostat? [15:47] No, we replaced the AC unit and they put in some Janky Sensi thing [15:47] oic [15:47] It works, you can get to it from your phone [15:47] ah cool [15:47] and I'm pretty sure I should put it on its own subnet. ;) [15:48] lol [15:48] "just going to VLAN you off here...and best if you sit behind this firewall of doom" [15:50] i got new furnace adn ac and said "no" to the fancy wifi shit. [15:50] i'm anti connected devices. [15:50] as far as I can see, it only complecates things and does not improve my life at all. [15:51] don't forget to firewall its outbound as well as its inbound. [17:09] +1000 [17:09] https://twitter.com/internetofshit [17:25] <_stink_> haha [17:31] TIL: there's a place in Birmingham that sells synths and euroracks [17:31] as if I needed another expensive hobby [17:35] what place? [17:36] lol [18:07] https://www.detroitmodular.com/ [18:08] The only saving grace is it appears they only do showings via appointment
