[19:08:13] janrinok is now known as zz_janrinok
[19:07:22] <janrinok> time to go - have a good one, and I hope that things work out for you.
[17:43:38] <janrinok> gotcha
[17:43:13] <cmn32480> but my kitchen was the first one.
[17:29:47] <janrinok> seen worse...
[17:29:26] <exec> 03Bluffton, SC, USA - currently 87°F / 31°C, sunny, wind NW at 6 mph, humidity 63% - Wednesday scattered thunderstorms (74°F-88°F / 23°C-31°C), Thursday partly cloudy (74°F-85°F / 23°C-29°C), Friday mostly sunny (72°F-85°F / 22°C-29°C), Saturday scattered thunderstorms (72°F-84°F / 22°C-29°C)
[17:29:25] <cmn32480> ~weather Bluffton, SC
[17:29:16] janrinok_afk is now known as janrinok
[17:29:02] <janrinok_afk> where is the wx forecast for SC?
[17:28:38] <exec> 03McMurdo, Antarctica - currently -28°F / -33°C, clear with periodic clouds, wind E at 15 mph, humidity 42% - Thursday partly cloudy (-24°F--24°F / -31°C--31°C), Friday partly cloudy (-18°F--8°F / -28°C--22°C), Saturday cloudy (-17°F--8°F / -27°C--22°C), Sunday cloudy (-31°F--12°F / -35°C--24°C)
[17:28:37] <cmn32480> ~weather Mcmurdo
[17:28:28] <cmn32480> when I even broaced the subject last night with J, I might as well have transported myself to McMurdo, naked.
[17:28:14] <janrinok_afk> are you sure of how J will see things?
[17:27:41] <cmn32480> I know... this is one of those frustrating thigns that is gonna make thigns problematic.
[17:27:10] <janrinok_afk> yeah, I understand, I was just bantering a bit
[17:26:41] <cmn32480> my team is all under the same roof currently, and that makes life a lot easier. that 5 second question in the hall becomes a lot ahrder if they move part of us out
[17:26:27] <janrinok_afk> but linked by an IRC channel :)
[17:26:09] <cmn32480> but the team of editors is dispersed by default.
[17:25:50] <cmn32480> sort of
[17:25:33] * janrinok_afk thinks it is a bit like editors, but probably more so 'cos they are getting paid ...
[17:25:04] <cmn32480> it's like breaking up the band, we aren't nearly as good solo as we are together.
[17:24:45] <cmn32480> the biggest issue here is that I have built a really good team.
[17:20:06] * cmn32480 looks the other way and bites his tongue
[17:19:47] <janrinok_afk> well, that sounds attractive to me, but I was always a mercenary bastard
[17:19:38] <cmn32480> probably.
[17:19:27] <janrinok_afk> you could push for it perhaps?
[17:19:24] <cmn32480> but the cost of living is like 20% lower down there.
[17:19:12] <cmn32480> no extra responsibility.. same as what I have now. and no offer of financials has been discussed at this point.
[17:18:32] <janrinok_afk> ?
[17:18:31] <janrinok_afk> have they offered you any financial incentive to do the move and for the extra responsibility
[17:10:11] <cmn32480> providing that they don't do it anyway adn put me out of a job
[17:09:57] <janrinok_afk> solved then ....
[17:09:36] <cmn32480> It'll be a non-issue. J isn't gonna want to go
[17:09:11] <janrinok_afk> I'm not sure if it is good news or bad - let me know when you have decided, and I will make the appropriate noises :)
[16:26:26] * cmn32480 winders if he can go back to turning screws
[16:26:13] <cmn32480> since I run the division, my decision will decide how things go.
[16:25:49] <cmn32480> but now I am thinking about going postal.
[16:24:44] <cmn32480> they want to move the entire service deivision down there.

[15:38:18] <cmn32480> unkmown
[15:36:20] <CoolHand> cmn32480: they gonna pay a nice price for your house and/or buy you a new one?
[15:16:39] <halcyon1234> Hi. I just dropped a submission into the queue re: Blip.tv shutting down. I mentioned "in about a week", but forgot to put the actual date in the submission. It's Aug 20th.

[14:21:09] <janrinok_afk> gtg
[14:20:02] <janrinok_afk> pay rise? promotion?
[14:19:48] <janrinok_afk> is that good?
[14:19:40] <cmn32480> holy fuck..... tehy want to transfer me to South Carolina
[14:19:33] janrinok is now known as janrinok_afk
[14:19:25] <cmn32480> okie
[14:19:19] <janrinok> bbl
[14:19:15] <janrinok> gtg do some cooking
[14:11:44] <janrinok> I know, I stopped
[14:03:56] <cmn32480> ^&*&*()%^)&*()#%QQing working for a living
[13:34:49] <janrinok> I'll have to check that out. My PCBSD machine is in another room, so that is a job for later
[13:31:45] <CoolHand> this is PCBSD I'm talking about
[13:31:36] <CoolHand> the Insight file manager for their Lumina desktop is integrated with their Life Preserver/ZFS snapshots... that's REALLY nice (although I don't generally run Lumina yet, I fire up Insight if I want to grab a file from a few days before..)
[13:24:26] <janrinok> I might give them a look. PC-BSD is fine but I just don't feel comfortable with it. I'm running Ubuntu Mate 14.04 - no systemd and supported until 2019, so I've got time to find something that I really like
[13:23:00] <CoolHand> Well, compared to Linux... no systemD... :) I haven't really worked out yet what they are vs PCBSD.. definitely has differences. PCBSD is way more polished as a beginner desktop. so, since my time is limited, I'll probably never make it off of that, but we'll see
[13:21:30] <janrinok> Just something different or is it something that you know and like better?
[13:21:06] <janrinok> CoolHand: what are the benefits of OpenSolaris compared to, say, linux or PC-BSD?
[13:16:17] <janrinok> no CoolHand, a college
[13:16:14] <CoolHand> oh, printer head alcohol
[13:16:00] <CoolHand> a betamax?
[13:15:58] <janrinok> I know you too well
[13:15:47] <cmn32480> that is actually one of the thigns I am going to get@
[13:15:39] <CoolHand> naw, high school... watched in on betamax every day one summer
[13:15:32] <janrinok> more printer head alcohol for cmn32480
[13:15:14] <janrinok> I take it that was back in your college days?
[13:15:08] <cmn32480> afk for a few.... need to find something down in the warehouse.
[13:14:56] <CoolHand> at one time, I had pretty much that whole movie memorized.. haha
[13:14:24] <janrinok> not a quote that sprang to mind, but I did recognise once you printed it
[13:13:51] <CoolHand> "dyin' ain't much of a livin', boy.." ...the Outlaw Josey Wales
[13:13:23] <janrinok> beats dying though
[13:10:52] <CoolHand> then again, being cultured isn't the end-all,be-all of livin... :)
[13:08:11] <cmn32480> me enither
[13:07:13] <CoolHand> janrinok: can't really argue that..
[13:07:00] <janrinok> I can prove it is more cultured - the Brits prefer tea, the Muricans prefer coffee. I rest my case
[13:06:48] <CoolHand> now I settle for coffee
[13:06:44] <CoolHand> well, back in college anyway
[13:06:33] <CoolHand> I prefer mine in tablet form... a bottle at a time..
[13:06:17] <Bender> karma - coffee: 17
[13:06:17] <CoolHand> coffee++
[13:06:15] <janrinok> it's just an alternative, and more cultured way, of getting my caffeine
[13:05:00] <cmn32480> frickin' tea drinkers.... .
[13:03:50] <janrinok> its that time again! brb
[13:02:25] <cmn32480> at least janrinok knows it was a wasted effort coolhand
[13:01:51] <janrinok> ... and I foolishly thought that I would begin by asking you two
[13:01:18] <janrinok> I was trying to figure out what people like to read and why, and then see if that correlates with the stories that have the best discussions - not necessarily the most comments
[13:01:03] <CoolHand> so different members want different things... imagine that..
[13:00:30] <janrinok> empirical evidence suggests that when the rate of story publication falls too much, we start losing community members, but some would like us to reduce the output and try to encourage more 'meaty' discussions
[12:59:58] * CoolHand is only involved with Soylent for the great idle rpg game... #irpg
[12:59:07] <janrinok> mrcoolbp and I were still answering comments on the 'search for new eds and subs' story
[12:58:43] <CoolHand> cmn32480: exactly
[12:58:11] <janrinok> I did - I liked it
[12:58:04] <cmn32480> check the dept line
[12:57:58] <cmn32480> like the qunatum mechanics one I posted?
[12:57:46] <CoolHand> some of the real hard core science stuff goes over my head, cuz I ain't real bright..
[12:57:40] <cmn32480> janrinok> lol - I was in bed! And I had been to sleep...
[12:57:36] foolish is now known as janrinok
[12:57:29] <CoolHand> I generally like reading most things we publish.. sometimes something catches my eye thats surprising..
[12:57:25] <foolish> I had to be awake - duty called
[12:57:03] <foolish> at my computer suite (desk in bedroom really)
[12:56:50] <cmn32480> or working from our beds at 5am
[12:56:44] <cmn32480> some of us aren't retired sipping tea in the garden...
[12:56:21] <foolish> break it to me gently guys, and it does explain some aspects of your editing... :)
[12:55:38] <foolish> well, looky here then
[12:55:36] <cmn32480> ok foolish... so we ar supposed to actually read ths site??
[12:55:22] janrinok is now known as foolish
[12:54:54] <janrinok> well, it's not compulsory, but I had assumed that you looked at the stories that you edited. Call me foolish, I know....
[12:54:31] <CoolHand> haha.. good point cmn
[12:54:21] <cmn32480> we are supposed to read the site too???\
[12:54:15] <cmn32480> wait... what??
[12:52:56] <janrinok> Change of topic somewhat, what sort of stories do you most like reading on the site?
[12:50:55] <CoolHand> lol
[12:49:49] <janrinok> obviously they were not new when you first saw them. I recall seeing lots of adverts for incontinence pants for men being seen around the same time, I never could work out if there was a connection...
[12:49:17] <CoolHand> :)
[12:49:17] <CoolHand> maybe up to 50, but I wouldn't ahve been around for those
[12:48:50] <CoolHand> well, 35 at least..
[12:48:16] <janrinok> I had forgotten about those glasses adverts - that must have been 40-50 years ago!
[12:47:47] <CoolHand> I always wanted to order some of those.. I was such a pervy kid... (not much has changed except I"m older)
[12:47:36] <janrinok> nope, but at night you can creep up and watch people getting ready for bed - or so I've been told, of course
[12:47:17] <CoolHand> like those xray glasses that used to be in the backs of comics?
[12:47:01] <cmn32480> do they let you see through the clothes of people walking by?
[12:46:20] <janrinok> nope :) Google windows work and don't usually get you punched
[12:46:01] <CoolHand> these are testing vm's for me, in case I want to move off my pcbsd desktop to something opensolaris based..
[12:45:26] <cmn32480> is Google Window like a bigger version of Google Glass?
[12:44:55] <exec> └─ 13About - Dyson - Dyson — Debian GNU/kOpenSolaris - 03http://osdyson.org/projects/dyson/wiki
[12:44:51] * janrinok has now got an empty unused Google window - I wonder if it is worth anything on ebay
[12:44:50] <CoolHand> I need to update my dyson OS vm also.. http://osdyson.org
[12:44:04] <janrinok> first time that I have heard of it
[12:44:02] <CoolHand> yeah, I thought about doing a lmgtfy link, but thought I'd play nice.. :)
[12:43:34] <CoolHand> This is the home of the illumos project, the fully open community fork of the OpenSolaris operating system.
[12:43:34] <CoolHand> New to illumos?
[12:43:31] <janrinok> ah, thanks I was just typing it in to google when you replied
[12:43:12] <CoolHand> OpenIndiana is a robust enterprise operating system, based on the illumos kernel. It is open source, free to use, community developed, and suitable for servers and desktops.
[12:42:33] <janrinok> I'm not even sure I know what an openIndiana vm is
[12:42:07] <CoolHand> alright.. just working.. ..and seeing if I can update my openIndiana vm..
[12:41:17] <janrinok> how's things with yourself today?
[12:41:06] <janrinok> it's a knack CoolHand
[12:40:56] <CoolHand> heh
[12:40:53] <CoolHand> dang.. I come in and kill the room...
[12:38:41] <janrinok> lol - out of the frying pan etc
[12:38:23] <cmn32480> then you got me and coolhand... so it seems that there is still nobody else!
[12:38:05] <janrinok> CoolHand: !!
[12:38:02] <cmn32480> CoolHand !!
[12:37:56] <CoolHand> :)
[12:37:55] <CoolHand> glad you guys are keeping each other in line..
[12:37:49] <CoolHand> cmn32480!! janrinok!!
[12:36:49] <janrinok> pah, at the time there was nobody else!
[12:35:59] <cmn32480> adn for me that was a mammoth session.. you and LamX did that for months....
[12:35:10] <janrinok> but instead you wasted your time on the site! :)
[12:34:49] <cmn32480> I was still hot under the collar, and thoguht it best to put that energy into somethign constructive
[12:34:04] <janrinok> that's not unreasonable, especially if it is outside of her own experiences. However, that was a mammoth posting session that you did yesterday
[12:33:04] <cmn32480> one thing she does not understand (probably because she has never dealt with it) is extended periods of stress caused by one's job
[12:32:34] <cmn32480> I know
[12:31:12] <janrinok> good - some of us actually like you, you know....
[12:30:54] <cmn32480> I try very hard to not unload on her and the kids
[12:30:46] <cmn32480> nope
[12:29:52] <janrinok> hear*
[12:29:46] <janrinok> glad to here it - I hope you didn't unload on J when you got home
[12:29:37] <cmn32480> providing certain people stay away... nobody is likely to get killed
[12:29:26] <cmn32480> better
[12:29:10] <janrinok> how's things with you today?
[12:28:47] <cmn32480> pretty much :-)
[12:28:39] <janrinok> damn, hoist by my own petard
[12:28:23] <cmn32480> I knew it was you when my stories started having 2nds
[12:28:14] <cmn32480> good!
[12:28:00] <janrinok> so did I
[12:27:52] <cmn32480> and, quite frankly, I found it hilarious that I left you a not on a story
[12:27:46] <janrinok> lol - I was in bed! And I had been to sleep...
[12:27:37] <cmn32480> you sohudl ahve been sleeping.
[12:27:26] <cmn32480> YOU DESERVED IT!
[12:26:25] <janrinok> cmn32480: !!. You would think that a chap would be safe from hassle in his bed at 05:00, but no, I get hassle! :)
