[12:30] morning [12:31] finally got power back yesterday evening! [12:45] widox: congrats! [12:45] Hope you can get home and put stuff back together [12:47] rick_h: thanks. yeah we got back and the heat had kicked back on, so at least it was warm :) [12:48] nice to be back at my desk [12:56] widox: Glad you finally have power back [13:02] cmaloney: thanks. good to be back in the land of good coffee and mechanical keyboards :D [13:03] widox: hah, it's the small things we miss [13:03] When I get back from sprints I just want a decent sized monitor, a drive in my truck, and some of my own coffee [13:03] oh, and real internet connectivity [13:04] i just want to sleep in my own bed and sit in my own chair and eat light food [13:05] yea, normally I don't gain weight on sprints but damn I did this one [13:06] should have stayed in the hotel where the food was awful. Would have eaten a lot less [13:06] i didn't. I was reasonably carefu. [13:06] and I did 30min of cardio on Tuesday and WEdnesday. [13:06] it wasn't until wednesday afternoon that I started feeling sick. [13:16] Where was this last sprint? [13:16] New Orleans [13:16] Oh boy [13:17] yeah, you're kind of screwed in the diet department [13:19] not really. [13:19] I mean, if you let yourself go... yes. [13:19] Yea, only had beignets one day [13:19] :) [13:19] but if you are doing low carb, all it takes is ignoring beignets. [13:19] the rest is delicious meat :) [13:19] I only had 1 bite of a beignet, I think. [13:20] It reminded me of paczki which I had just had the tuesday prior. [13:20] It was like if someone made a funnel cake but instead of funneling it into loops just plopped it out at once [13:20] but the first night I was there I was hungry and we found a place and nothing really stood out on the menu, so I decided on ribs, but they didn't have 1/2 rack, only full rack. ZOMG [13:26] rick_h: what was the best thing that you ate there? [13:27] jrwren: honestly, nothing jumps out. I had a good red beans one day. Most things were kind of average to be honest. [13:27] rick_h: same here. nothing was bad, but nothing was really great either. [13:27] widox: do you live out in the boonies? [13:28] we were lucky and got it back early Sunday morning [13:28] SneakyPhil: Worse - Detroit [14:08] SneakyPhil: heh, Detroit. Corktown neighborhood [14:08] we just happened to be in a small cluster of houses without power [14:09] actually, we had a partial outage; so we fell low on the list. even though we had no heat because of it :-/ [14:17] :( [14:17] that blows [18:18] dangit, my new standing desk arrived 6 days early! I wasn't ready! [18:19] So use a stool until you're strong enough [18:21] lol [18:21] not in that way, in that I don't have my current desk clean yet! [18:22] I'll just dump it all in a box, then let that box sit there on the floor for a few months [18:25] <_stink_> s/ a few months/ever [18:27] Nah, eventually you can just throw out the box [18:27] cmaloney: you haven't seen our garage.... [18:28] That's a half joke. It's bad, but... well, this is a marital issue that I should stop talking about ;) [18:28] I have those same boxes [18:28] "Honey, can't we put the books in this box on the shelf so we know what we have?" "No, they stay in the box" [18:29] (usually followed by a "you're one to talk" followed by a carefully-laid-out point-by-point dissection of all of my shit in the basement) [18:29] I have a basement full of them [18:29] lol [18:29] we still have boxes from the move 4yrs ago. [18:30] CDs, because we don't actually need those anymore. [18:30] We moved in 2001 [18:30] and books :) [18:30] I still use the CDs. Those are like the old Autodesk boxes. [18:30] where you have to keep the packaging to keep the license. [18:31] ha! [18:31] but when we had the power out I also have the backup copy to listen to on a CD player [18:33] CDs exist so you can rip to the latest digital format every 5 years [18:33] Yeah [18:33] or for when you blitz your drive in an upgrade [18:34] yeah, 5 yrs ago, I think disk was $$$ enough that I didn't flac 'em all. now I flac 'em all and transcode for whatever quality format :) [18:34] yup, flac or nothing at this point for me [18:35] its funny, i bought some CDs recently and it included digital download, but I forgot and ripped 'em myself anyway. Old habbits die hard, I guess. [18:35] I get discs of stuff that I download in Bandcamp [18:36] Lately I've only been downloading (flac) from bandcamp/etc, no discs, except for special bands
