| cmaloney | Happy timestamp thingie | 03:07 |
| cmaloney | jrwren: What is this old job / new job thing? :) | 15:40 |
| jrwren | old job - Canonical. | 16:20 |
| jrwren | new job - spacemonkey | 16:20 |
| greg-g | jrwren: still working from home? | 16:23 |
| jrwren | yes, I was in SLC M-Th this week, but today I'm back home. | 16:27 |
| greg-g | I was wondering about that boating picture | 16:28 |
| greg-g | cool | 16:28 |
| cmaloney | jrwren: That's awesome! | 16:29 |
| cmaloney | Congratulations! | 16:29 |
| jrwren | thanks! | 16:32 |
| greg-g | Their WP article could use some copy editing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Monkey_%28company%29 | 16:34 |
| greg-g | "Products 1TB drive" heh | 16:34 |
| jrwren | yeah? | 16:34 |
| jrwren | that founder, Clint Gordon-Carroll is a really cool guy. Treats people with more kindness and understanding than I've ever seen from any founder type. | 16:35 |
| greg-g | awesome, that's great | 16:35 |
| greg-g | and by copy editing, I mean, it kind of repeats it's self (the article) and I can't get a good idea of what they actually do :) | 16:36 |
| greg-g | just ranting, not about you/the company ;) | 16:36 |
| jrwren | cloud storage service... what is to get? :) | 16:36 |
| greg-g | congrats ;) | 16:36 |
| greg-g | jrwren: how it's different than the 83914 other ones? :P | 16:37 |
| jrwren | greg-g: in this case, there is no datacenter, the cloud is not someone elses server, it is all the other spacemonkeys. | 16:37 |
| greg-g | ahhh, that's why the comment about peer-to-peer file storage | 16:37 |
| jrwren | Yes, and now that they are owned by vivint home security, its a bit different than that description, but still an awesome team. | 16:40 |
| jrwren | I'm pretty excited. | 16:40 |
| * greg-g nods | 16:40 | |
| greg-g | cool man | 16:40 |
| jrwren | I choose this over Khan Academy and Joyent, with whom I was also interviewing. | 16:40 |
| greg-g | I don't know much about Joyent, but you made a good choice re Khan | 16:41 |
| jrwren | oh yeah? | 16:41 |
| jrwren | Why do you say that? | 16:41 |
| greg-g | my info is from about 2012, but: grant funded is not a great business model. And I didn't hear similar things about Khan as what you said about Clint | 16:42 |
| greg-g | to elaborate: grant funding does weird things to your planning and team expectations | 16:43 |
| jrwren | Ah. I see. Well, i know 2 Khan employees and they both love it, so plz consider that it has changed a lot. | 16:43 |
| greg-g | ah, cool | 16:43 |
| jrwren | They have 2yrs of runway of funds even if they dont' get renewed funds. | 16:43 |
| jrwren | whcih is maybe different than it was 5 yrs ago. | 16:44 |
| greg-g | oh, totally | 16:44 |
| cmaloney | jrwren: Very cool choice. First i've heard of Spacemonkey. | 16:44 |
| greg-g | heh, the main/really only contributor to the spacemonekys WP article has only worked on that article, I smell a COI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Steve_the_Tech_Guy ;) | 16:48 |
| greg-g | (conflict of interest) | 16:48 |
| cmaloney | heh | 16:48 |
| greg-g | (I don't care, no one probably does, it's not pure PR speak) | 16:48 |
| jrwren | http://timestamp.online/countdown/1500000000 | 16:58 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, the moment passed already | 16:58 |
| jrwren | it did? oh. i missed it. oh.. dzho even said so. | 17:02 |
| cmaloney | heh | 17:23 |
| dzho | even | 20:28 |
| dzho | oddly enough | 20:28 |
| greg-g | thcipriani: "The isntaller is now overwritting (the partition) with random data..." | 21:06 |
| greg-g | er | 21:06 |
| greg-g | minus the nick at the beginning, but ^ | 21:06 |
| cmaloney | nice | 21:23 |
| cmaloney | Which installer is this? | 21:23 |
| greg-g | the netinst one with nonfree wifi drivers (le sigh) | 21:27 |
| greg-g | and, er, Debian Stretch :) | 21:28 |
