| cmaloney | Good morning | 12:51 |
|---|---|---|
| cmaloney | I think I got bitten by the Mycroft bug | 12:51 |
| rick_h_ | morning | 12:53 |
| rick_h_ | cmaloney: isn't that the AI thing that's open source? | 12:53 |
| cmaloney | Yeah | 12:54 |
| cmaloney | It's based on a RPi and the Mark 1 model even has GPIO pins on the back | 12:54 |
| cmaloney | and it looks like there is an Arduino handling controls / display | 12:54 |
| rick_h_ | cool | 12:54 |
| cmaloney | There's a Mark II that's on Indiegogo now | 12:55 |
| cmaloney | and it's all in Python. :) | 12:55 |
| rick_h_ | seems inside your realm of fun toy stuff | 12:55 |
| rick_h_ | ooh, even better | 12:55 |
| cmaloney | Yeah | 12:55 |
| cmaloney | What I'm wondering is if I could incorporate it with Heyu and do some janky home automation with X10 | 12:55 |
| jrwren | we must destroy x10. we must destroy all internet ads. | 12:56 |
| cmaloney | jrwren: That's what adblock and privacy bager do for me. ;) | 12:56 |
| cmaloney | Sitting at the vW dealership checking on more power lock foo | 13:05 |
| dzho | cmaloney: d'oh | 13:36 |
| dzho | as in, the door locks are acting up? | 13:37 |
| cmaloney | As in they used some weedly motors for the door locks and they go south | 13:37 |
| dzho | :( | 13:39 |
| dzho | so, seeing that Winterkorn was indicted by the Germans gives me some small hope I might one day allow myself to like VW again. | 13:40 |
| cmaloney | heh | 13:47 |
| cmaloney | I am having a great day | 15:15 |
| cmaloney | 1) They think it's the door latch, so they want $400 to fix it | 15:16 |
| cmaloney | aparently though it's such a common problem that they don't stock the part | 15:16 |
| cmaloney | 2) They managed to scratch / dent the driver's side door in the process | 15:16 |
| cmaloney | to the point where the primer is showing | 15:17 |
| rick_h_ | oops, so they're going to get you a new door? | 15:17 |
| rick_h_ | great day! | 15:18 |
| cmaloney | We'll see | 15:18 |
| cmaloney | they're checking footage to see what happened | 15:18 |
| cmaloney | Pretty sure it was whatever car wash they ran it through | 15:19 |
| cmaloney | since it looks like it was scrapd / bent | 15:20 |
| cmaloney | scraped | 15:20 |
| cmaloney | likely when I told them to get stuffed on fixing it right now | 15:20 |
| cmaloney | again, because apparently i get to pay to fix a common problem for a door latch | 15:20 |
| cmaloney | What's even better is apparently this is a new system that nobody is trained on for the cameras | 15:43 |
| rick_h_ | it's like a backup system | 15:43 |
| rick_h_ | "we have one, no idea how it works" | 15:43 |
| cmaloney | heh | 15:43 |
| cmaloney | Well, they're getting trained on the 16th | 15:43 |
| greg-g | cmaloney: why do they need the video footage? to try to prove it wasn't them it was you? | 16:03 |
| cmaloney | Naturally | 16:03 |
| cmaloney | it's not to see what happened, it's to see if I'm an asshole | 16:03 |
| cmaloney | but it's not something that I would have done, or if it was it's something that I would have noticed | 16:04 |
| greg-g | that's a great way to do customer service | 16:04 |
| cmaloney | Oh they're just knocking it out of the park today | 16:05 |
| greg-g | :) | 16:05 |
| cmaloney | Pretty sure the parts department is where they stock snacks | 16:05 |
| cmaloney | and little else | 16:05 |
| cmaloney | This is also the same dealership where my keybod fell apart and they couldn't replace it | 16:06 |
| cmaloney | keyfob | 16:06 |
| cmaloney | and the service person was trying to jam in a paperclip | 16:07 |
| cmaloney | (which wouldn't have worked) | 16:07 |
| cmaloney | we managed to find a second-hand keyfob and replace the guts | 16:07 |
| cmaloney | since the only part we needed was the swing arm | 16:07 |
| cmaloney | Now I know why VW folks are so prevalent online: they have to be because the dealerships don't have long-term support | 16:08 |
| cmaloney | The analogy of VW and Apple is closer than I realized | 16:09 |
| rick_h_ | woo! cement time | 16:35 |
| rick_h_ | think they'll let me drive the cement truck? | 16:35 |
| rick_h_ | oh crap, it's driving into the mud. I thought for sure it'd just pour using a long trough | 16:37 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, not so much | 16:46 |
| rick_h_ | I wonder how long this needs to cure...I might not be bringing the camper home on sunday I guess. Didn't think about that | 16:47 |
| cmaloney | Cement? I think this weekend would be a bust | 16:48 |
| rick_h_ | The First 14 Days are Crucial – The first 14 days of your new driveway is the most critical period, when the driveway is most vulnerable. Do not drive on your new driveway for 3-5 days. Wait up to 14 days before parking on your new driveway. And when you do, only park on it during the cool part of the day. | 16:49 |
| rick_h_ | ugh, that's...going to be not fun | 16:49 |
| cmaloney | Yeah | 16:49 |
| cmaloney | and I'm pretty sure they're thinking traditional vehicles on the driveway | 16:50 |
| cmaloney | camper is likely right out for at least a week | 16:50 |
| rick_h_ | yea...and the HD truck | 16:50 |
| rick_h_ | so looks like maybe in a week she can pull into the garage to charge it | 16:50 |
| rick_h_ | and in 2 weeks the truck and trailer can park on it | 16:50 |
| rick_h_ | which means I'm going to have to buy more days at the campground... | 16:51 |
| cmaloney | That sounds positively awful | 16:53 |
| cmaloney | I'm sure you're just beside yourself | 16:53 |
| cmaloney | /sarcasm | 16:53 |
| cmaloney | ;) | 16:53 |
| rick_h_ | well I am a little bit. I'm very uncomforable with the camper sitting at the campground without us | 16:54 |
| rick_h_ | the last couple of days have provided some anxiety | 16:54 |
| cmaloney | Oh, that is a different issue | 16:54 |
| rick_h_ | I'm going out there tonight to check on it | 16:54 |
| rick_h_ | and I'm heading out of town next thurs | 16:54 |
| rick_h_ | so yea...this is putting a damper on my day | 16:54 |
| rick_h_ | though it should have been obvious | 16:54 |
| greg-g | rick_h_: oohhh, I thought you were taking advantage of the time and opportunity to work from the park | 17:07 |
| rick_h_ | greg-g: not yet, going to head out friday | 17:08 |
| rick_h_ | greg-g: have to be here at the house to do the driveway work and such. and wife/son have soccer/etc | 17:08 |
| rick_h_ | so it's kind of a pita do "live" from there during the week | 17:08 |
| cmaloney | Ah, that's a pisser | 17:08 |
| greg-g | gotcha | 17:09 |
| rick_h_ | so it's there to be out of the way, and we'll use it this weekend, but it'll have to be visits for a bit | 17:09 |
| greg-g | neighborhood doesn't allow parking it on the street? | 17:09 |
| cmaloney | There's little street to park on | 17:09 |
| greg-g | huh | 17:09 |
| rick_h_ | greg-g: oh no I wouldn't want to. Too much traffic and too small | 17:09 |
| cmaloney | I think rick_h_ has an even more narrow street than we had over at our old house | 17:09 |
| rick_h_ | I'm nervous enough about my truck in the street at night | 17:10 |
| greg-g | I see, well then, godspeed :) | 17:10 |
| rick_h_ | yea, maybe have to see if i can talk the wife into crashing at the campground more. It's a 20min drive so not completely crazy | 17:10 |
| rick_h_ | many many folks commute more | 17:10 |
| cmaloney | At our old house if you parked anything wider than a 1970s era compact car on both sides it was like threading a needle | 17:10 |
| rick_h_ | The thing here is that folks seem to think that it's a race track to enjoy peeling down | 17:11 |
| cmaloney | a-yep | 17:11 |
| rick_h_ | then they come around the corner and go "oh crap...how dare an obstruction get into my lane" | 17:11 |
| cmaloney | it has that deceptively fast feel to it | 17:11 |
| rick_h_ | meh, it's temporary, by next year will have forgotten all about the pain of the install | 17:11 |
| cmaloney | That's the hope | 17:12 |
| rick_h_ | https://youtu.be/wd1BLiCAdgk progress so far | 17:26 |
| cmaloney | SO, is two hours waiting for the replay long enough? | 17:28 |
| rick_h_ | ? | 17:28 |
| cmaloney | at the dealership | 17:28 |
| cmaloney | sorry, crossed the wires there. :) | 17:28 |
| rick_h_ | oh lol | 17:29 |
| rick_h_ | yea, that replay is too long | 17:29 |
| Scary_Guy | Every time I hear about Mycroft I keep thinking of http://mycroftproject.com | 18:09 |
| Scary_Guy | also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF8NK6eruUs | 18:10 |
| cmaloney | eell, apparently they didn't get anyone at corporate who had the password to their video system | 18:24 |
| cmaloney | so they will contact me once they have | 18:25 |
| cmaloney | underneath this calm exterior is someone who will ensure they do not make rhis misrake again | 18:25 |
| cmaloney | that would have been more threatening had the t not been replaced with an r | 18:26 |
| greg-g | twice | 18:26 |
| rick_h_ | lol | 18:29 |
| cmaloney | Some chucklefuck has been posting some blockchain spam on all of the meetup groups | 18:57 |
| cmaloney | naturally you can't turn off the discussion piece of Meetup | 18:57 |
| cmaloney | This savant-idiot joins the group and then posts the message | 18:58 |
| cmaloney | Adam Zientarski | 18:59 |
| rick_h_ | That's my pen name | 19:01 |
| rick_h_ | don't worry, after I'm rich I'll stop | 19:01 |
| cmaloney | Well, you're banned from CHC now | 19:01 |
| cmaloney | so, good job. ;) | 19:01 |
| rick_h_ | :P | 19:01 |
| * rick_h_ checks list for pen name #2 | 19:01 | |
| cmaloney | Adam Yientarski | 19:02 |
| cmaloney | Adam Xientarski | 19:02 |
| rick_h_ | that sounds good! | 19:02 |
| * rick_h_ puts those at the end of the list | 19:02 | |
| rick_h_ | Is it like passwords you have to change? You just change the letter | 19:02 |
| rick_h_ | Zientarski, Aientarski, Bientarski | 19:02 |
| cmaloney | Yeah | 19:02 |
| cmaloney | Sadly enough I think that would totally work | 19:03 |
| rick_h_ | and there goes the cement truck | 19:03 |
| rick_h_ | pour is done, smooth baby smooth | 19:03 |
| * cmaloney drives up to write his name in it | 19:03 | |
| rick_h_ | hah, wife and I were debating that | 19:03 |
| cmaloney | Dientarski | 19:03 |
| rick_h_ | is that Greek? | 19:03 |
| rick_h_ | :P | 19:03 |
| cmaloney | Johnny Gyro | 19:04 |
| rick_h_ | the tree is dropping little bits into the driveway | 19:04 |
| rick_h_ | stupid tree | 19:04 |
| rick_h_ | hold onto your sperm you damn thing | 19:04 |
| cmaloney | Trees having a wank on rick_h_'s driveway | 19:05 |
| rick_h_ | basically, there's no barry white blasting tree! | 19:05 |
| * cmaloney chastises self | 19:05 | |
| brousch | You need to pick those out or it will compromise the final integrity | 19:10 |
| greg-g | I... this... ok. | 19:30 |
| rick_h_ | lol | 19:34 |
| Scary_Guy | too bad you can't do a wildcard of *ientarski | 20:39 |
