[00:08] It went well [00:22] https://meet.jit.si/coffeehousecoders [00:22] Virtual Coffee House coders [13:06] Good morning [13:07] <_stink_> yo [13:37] -yo [13:41] morning [13:41] everyone have fun in the snow? [13:44] <_stink_> only shoveled three times [13:46] same here, though stayed up until 11 to do the final one in the hopes I wouldn't need to do any more in the morning [13:46] looks like a winner so far. [14:32] Twice yesterday, once this morning, none of them more than 2" [14:34] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1bEgLuk99U [14:34] kind of fun, didn't realize the nest cam could do a timelapse for me [14:54] Good morning [14:54] Took JoDee to school Whee [14:54] I shoveled last night, but haven't re-shoveled this morning [14:56] same. [14:56] only a little fell after I shoveled last night, so I'm ok with taht. [14:56] there is still a little empty salt spot on the drive that never got covered. [16:39] rick_h: you read The Way of Kings!!! [16:39] jrwren: yea, rereading it because the new book came out recently [16:39] rick_h: ha! same. I'm rereading it right now :) [16:39] jrwren: I've been a sanderson fan since he finished up the robert jordan series [16:40] jrwren: yea, just finished book 1 again last night and onto 2 [16:40] shoveling is great audible book time :) [16:40] cool. [16:40] I find its easier to re-read. The first read was great, but also, just because it is sooo long... i feel like i didn't enjoy certain parts as much as I am on the second read. [16:41] yea, true. [16:41] jrwren: check out the author's series for mistborn. I really liked those [16:41] jrwren: and the steelheart stuff is an interesting take [16:41] funny how he hops around adding a book to different series at a time [16:41] I read the mistborn trilogy last month or so. [16:42] It was ok, good even, but not as good as stormlight, IMO [16:42] no, different for sure [16:42] I can't always do 1k pages giant books back to back to back [16:42] I usually don't like fantasy, so I'd probably never have picked up mistborn, but my new boss bought it for me for my birthday because he heard htat I liked stormlight :) [16:42] I try to mix up fiction/non fiction at least but always good to have something lighter to blow through [16:42] hah [16:43] I grew up on fantasy. the D&D books, dritz, and the wheel of time series [16:43] yeah, I hadn't read much fiction at all this year until I got to that a couple months ago [16:43] it's more work for me to find interesting non-fiction to check out [16:43] too much non fiction, so this has been a nice diversion [16:43] yea, a good story is nice [16:44] that was my big complaint with the latest hodgeman book. No real story to pull it together [16:44] I don't think I've read him. [16:45] I love his judge john hodgeman postcast and he has some funny books of fake facts [17:47] My year of reading was pretty much in the toilet [17:48] (and I don't mean that most of my reading was on the toilet) [17:48] potty human books eh? [17:48] heh [17:48] Lots of starts and stops [17:49] lol [17:49] I find I go in big waves [17:49] lots of podcasts, lots of reading/audio books [17:50] I thought I hadn't read much, but I did at the start and end of the year I guess. Just the middle was mainly a podcast world [17:53] Yeah [17:55] Also: Time to re-up the EFF membership [17:56] looks like there's gonna be some legal wrangling to knock down this FCC stupidity [17:56] Even thought the FCC building is apparently being evacuated [18:53] https://www.commondreams.org/news/2017/12/13/property-verizon-projected-fcc-headquarters-ahead-vote-destroy-net-neutrality [18:53] I say let it burn. we need people good and pissed off for any real change
