magicaltrout | i'm clearly winning at life | 10:36 |
magicaltrout | kjackal did you get stuck in the snow this morning? | 10:38 |
kjackal | sure, if that pleases you? | 10:39 |
magicaltrout | that doesn't sound like a truthful answer | 10:39 |
kjackal | I havent check, but I suspect the freezer is the only place I can find ice around here. | 10:40 |
kjackal | I hear you got a proper winter this time | 10:41 |
magicaltrout | *sob* | 10:41 |
petevg | Nobody on these islands seems to know how to deal with snow. And here I thought that it wasn't that uncommon. magicaltrout: Doctor Who has had several episodes depicting London in the snow. Are you saying that the show isn't a documentary? ;-) | 10:43 |
magicaltrout | it snowed once when i worked in london | 10:43 |
magicaltrout | and it was a disaster cause everyone would get off the tube and compact it to ice | 10:44 |
magicaltrout | then everyone else would fall over | 10:44 |
magicaltrout | this is the first real snow for me in 6 years | 10:44 |
magicaltrout | so no one is equipped for it because its not worth the expenditure for once every 6 years | 10:44 |
petevg | There's a potted tree lying on its side in the hotel courtyard. I think that sums things up pretty succinctly ... | 10:45 |

magicaltrout | welcome to the end of my road | 11:01 |
gsimondon | having recently moved to Berlin, this windy cold climate with no way to reproduce coziness of at least having some snow outside is the worst aspect of the city | 11:04 |
magicaltrout | i quite like the snow, i just wish it were more regular so the country could still function | 11:05 |
magicaltrout | i'm bored of seeing my bedroom and my daughters desk this week | 11:05 |
zeestrat | Over here in Norway, people complain when there's little snow up at the cabin and now they complain because it's too much (there's a cabin there I swear): https://gfx.nrk.no/mHFTfRnMLLszzsA2SypmhAy7z3oFvUbNUS7bf-r367CA | 11:42 |
magicaltrout | lol | 11:43 |
magicaltrout | no pleasing some people | 11:43 |

rick_h | magicaltrout: I shoveled snow, does that count? | 13:24 |
zeestrat | If anyone needs a good excuse for splurging on a snow blower: https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/can-shoveling-snow-put-your-heart-at-risk-2017120612887 | 13:44 |
cory_fu | kwmonroe: I only just saw your question from the other day. Charm layers no, base layers yes, unfortunately | 14:22 |
rick_h | zeestrat: except for this line in there :P "it’s possible that the connection between snowfall and heart trouble has nothing to do with shoveling snow. Perhaps there is some other snow-related risk factor, such as the use of a snow blower that is the real culprit" | 14:49 |
zeestrat | rick_h: Naughty you for leaving out the latter part of that sentence ", but I’m having a hard time coming up with other plausible explanations. Can you?" ;) | 14:55 |
rick_h | zeestrat: hey, I can't copy all of the text :P | 14:55 |
rick_h | that would be improper use of IRC | 14:55 |
zeestrat | rick_h: Haha! At least you can get a nice fallback career writing clickbaity press releases for research institutions with that attitude :P | 15:00 |
rick_h | zeestrat: how'd you know my secret ambition in life?! | 15:00 |
zeestrat | rick_h: Well, it's obvious where the money is with all those cold fusion plants and everlasting batteries just around the corner. | 15:05 |
rick_h | zeestrat: have to look out for the future | 15:05 |
zeestrat | rick_h: Had a nice trip I hope? Do y'all need any more info from me regarding https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/juju/2018-February/009887.html? | 15:07 |
rick_h | zeestrat: yes, very nice trip. Did some mountain biking and came home to a ton of snow :( | 15:07 |
rick_h | zeestrat: I had a call about that this morning with some folks that work on the back end and I'm currently putting a doc together identifying the different gaps as they cross different systems. | 15:08 |
rick_h | zeestrat: I'd love to chat with you and tom once that's up about what we can do short term and longer term to smooth out the process | 15:08 |
rick_h | zeestrat: in particular we have a tool in place we use internally called "agent auth" where you create an agent with private/public keys so that services can talk to each other in a trusted way and wonder if that'll work for your needs (even though ideally we'd just generate tokens like a GH setup) | 15:09 |
rick_h | but once exists already to a great extend and one is all new code/etc | 15:09 |
rick_h | I scared zeestrat away | 15:25 |
magicaltrout | or made him cry | 15:26 |
zeestrat | rick_h: No, rather my SO and her impending arrival (I promised to start making dinner...) | 15:26 |
rick_h | zeestrat: ah, well dinner with SO > * (at least that's the line you must repeat" | 15:26 |
rick_h | and wtf...I start with a ( and end with a " | 15:27 |
* rick_h gets moar coffee | 15:27 | |
zeestrat | You got at least 4 different chars in there so well done | 15:27 |
magicaltrout | noooo | 15:28 |
magicaltrout | ignore them all | 15:28 |
zeestrat | ^ Sounds good though. Glad to chat and help out further with that. I imagine we're not the only ones that would benefit from ripping out some gnarly CI scripts. | 15:32 |
rick_h | zeestrat: definitely not alone on it | 15:33 |
magicaltrout | rick_h: can you come shovel some snow for me whilst i wait for that day to come? | 15:36 |
magicaltrout | took/forced the kids out for a walk an hour ago | 15:37 |
magicaltrout | they officially hate me | 15:37 |
magicaltrout | I believe i'm winning | 15:37 |
rick_h | magicaltrout: sure, I'll get right out there. | 15:37 |
magicaltrout | thanks | 15:37 |
rick_h | magicaltrout: lol have to know true hate so that you can buy their love back later without any guilt | 15:37 |
magicaltrout | well | 15:37 |
magicaltrout | i remember my parents forcing me out for walks in the snow | 15:37 |
magicaltrout | i call it indirect retribution | 15:37 |
rick_h | "and with that walk over I declare...Extra Screen Time!" | 15:37 |
rick_h | hah, we lived in the south so we were locked out of the house. I'd read books on the front porch. | 15:38 |
magicaltrout | i believe if i locked my kids out of the hosue these days i'd have social services knocking on my door ;) | 15:38 |
rick_h | yea...scary times | 15:39 |
rick_h | they might have to wave to folks walking through the neighborhood | 15:39 |
magicaltrout | i know right... hey kids, you need to go interact with that stranger | 15:39 |
rick_h | hah, you need to awkwardly be polite with other random adults like we all had to | 15:41 |
