[01:30:56] <takyon> that doesn't sound like a change of position to me
[01:31:42] <Bytram> not so much a change of position as an official statement of 'jurisdiction'

[12:27:16] <janrinok> hi guys

[12:27:37] cmn32480|sleepin is now known as cmn32480
[12:30:12] <janrinok> cmn32480: !! not sleeping very much are you?
[12:30:30] <cmn32480> depends on the day, why do you ask?
[12:30:39] <janrinok> you greeted
[12:30:51] <janrinok> you greeted me with your nick of ../sleepin
[12:35:13] <cmn32480> i logged in and got immediately distracted by my day job.
[12:35:25] <cmn32480> silly people expect em to work for my paycheck!
[12:35:45] <janrinok> lol - whatever will they think of next ...
[12:36:06] <cmn32480> i don't know but this working for a living thing is a bit of a pain
[12:36:14] <cmn32480> ooooo coofee is done!
[12:36:19] <cmn32480> coffee++
[12:36:19] <Bender> karma - coffee: 20
[12:36:23] <janrinok> that's one of the reasons I stopped :)
[12:36:54] <cmn32480> we all know the reason you stopped.
[12:37:10] <cmn32480> couldn't handle any more concerts in Berlin!
[12:37:36] <janrinok> well, I had to go to Iraq, and there weren't many concerts there...
[12:37:46] <cmn32480> see.. that is just no fun!
[12:38:01] <janrinok> exactly, but they gave me a boom-stick to play with
[12:38:15] <cmn32480> did the guys on the other side have boom sticks?
[12:38:21] <cmn32480> that makes it a lot less fun too
[12:38:40] <janrinok> lots of them did - and it does take away a fair amount of the fun
[12:39:18] <cmn32480> you see the latest ramble from MDC in the sub queue
[12:39:35] <janrinok> yep, I hope nobody is thinking of posting it...
[12:39:50] <cmn32480> I shoudl think not
[12:40:06] <janrinok> although I haven't looked at the queue as staff so I haven't seen any Ed Notes
[12:40:18] <cmn32480> just mine in that one
[12:40:39] <janrinok> I read it as non-staff, and will get round to looking at the work side of things later
[12:40:53] <cmn32480> ahhh interesting
[12:41:12] <cmn32480> my browser has my login saved, so I alway am in as staff.
[12:41:18] <janrinok> I'm just setting up a git repos on my raspberry Pi - a fantastic piece of kit for the price
[12:41:25] <cmn32480> cool
[12:41:48] <cmn32480> one of those thigns that I want to play with, but haven't had the time or the time really
[12:43:03] <janrinok> I've got 2 now, an original and the new updated version - both great fun and the latter can _almost_ work as a desktop. Bit slow on the kbd and mouse responses - but that might be a problem with my setup
[12:43:23] <janrinok> but for servers and playthings - absolutely brilliant
[12:44:11] <cmn32480> server as in like web server?
[12:44:45] <janrinok> yep
[12:44:49] <cmn32480> nifty
[12:45:05] <cmn32480> Dad was playing with Arduinos for controling stuff on his model trains
[12:45:26] <janrinok> I've got one of those too, but I haven't spent much time with it.
[12:52:00] <janrinok> I run my own internal web server for books, music, tech docs, etc on the RasPi, plus it does a lot of routine work like downloading rss feeds, checking for software updates, etc
[12:52:41] <janrinok> a 5v wall-wart and I cannot even measure what little power it is using.
[12:52:51] <cmn32480> interesting. I have a NAS that does that.
[12:54:47] <janrinok> the NAS will be significantly more reliable I would guess, and have much greater storage. My RasPi is currently fitted with a 16GB flash memory card and I use a USB connected hard drive for backup.
[12:56:35] <cmn32480> this is the one I use.

[13:02:48] <cmn32480> will get an upgrade to 4TB mirrored sometime early next year
[13:03:27] <cmn32480> but I'm not drowning for space at this point, so I am not too worried. but I need to look at the dates on the drives to make sure they don't go out of warranty

[13:37:56] <nick> ahoy
[13:38:47] <nick> stopped in for lunch
[13:38:52] <nick> how goes?
[13:39:18] * cmn32480 thinks the lunch pickings on IRC are just some bits and bytes
[13:41:42] <cmn32480> it goes busy
[13:41:58] <cmn32480> trying to manage and be a tech and the IT guy is time consuming
[13:42:06] <nick> i know the feeling :D
[13:43:38] <janrinok> and I'm doing nothing of any importance - how's things?
[13:44:27] <nick> better than yesterday
[13:44:55] <nick> although i am paying today for not eating properly yesterday
[13:44:55] <janrinok> I didn't know that yesterday was bad - sry to hear that
[13:45:53] <nick> been a stressful few days and it all caught up with me yesterday
[13:46:11] <janrinok> will you be able to relax a bit over the weekend?
[13:50:18] <nick> hopefully tomorrow
[13:50:52] <nick> sunday not so much, will have to deal with both my parents in the same room
[13:57:00] <janrinok> oh fun and joy

[13:58:29] <cmn32480> find a TV, put on somethign that nobodyu will want to watch, adn theyw ill leave you alone
[13:59:39] <janrinok> did you get your Advanced Cruelty badge in the scouts?
[14:03:07] <cmn32480> I did actaully. One of the first badges I earned. But I got credited with time served becasue I had an older brother
[14:11:28] <janrinok> justly deserved, and your brother got his too?#
[14:20:40] <cmn32480> oh yes. we tortured the crap out of each other as kids
[14:21:07] <janrinok> fairly standard for brothers, but this was obviously not noted by the scouts...
[14:21:35] <cmn32480> I think they noted it. THat is why we got credit for time served
[14:34:27] <janrinok> just push a story out for release in the next few minutes - Thousands of compromised WordPressed sites
[14:34:49] <janrinok> If anyone has time, I'd appreciate a 2nd, but if you are busy, no matter
[14:37:15] <nick> takin a look now
[15:17:51] <cmn32480> I think I have decided that I hate people. Not you guys, just people in general
[15:21:26] <nick> yeah, people suck

[18:23:26] <janrinok> careful, it might fall off
[18:23:37] <cmn32480> nah... only if I shake it really hard
[18:24:00] <janrinok> more frustration with your fellow man?
[18:24:14] <cmn32480> some days you just can't fight the stupid anymore
[18:24:22] <cmn32480> today is one of those days
[18:24:26] <janrinok> if you can't beat them , ....
[18:24:35] * cmn32480 wishes he had vodka t o go in his iced tea
[18:24:58] <cmn32480> but it'd be prescription vodka
[18:25:08] <janrinok> of course ;)
[18:25:11] <cmn32480> how was the Chinese food?
[18:25:17] <cmn32480> and what'd you make?
[18:25:36] <cmn32480> Sezchuan Kitty?
[18:25:42] <janrinok> we both enjoyed it, although some of the dishes were not as I had planned them, they were still very nice.
[18:25:52] <cmn32480> Kung Pow Puppy?
[18:26:17] <janrinok> Kat Chow Mein
[18:26:26] <cmn32480> MY FAVORITE!!!!!!!
[18:26:31] <cmn32480> you ate my share again didn't you?
[18:26:43] <janrinok> OK, Kat Chow Yourn
[18:26:52] <cmn32480> lol
[18:26:54] <janrinok> no, S ate it this time
[18:27:25] <janrinok> I'm sure she would say 'sorry' if she wasn't laughing so much...
[18:27:45] <janrinok> Sends her best, by the way, in between giggles
[18:27:55] <cmn32480> mine to her as well
[18:28:05] <janrinok> thx - passed
[18:28:16] <cmn32480> but I'm a littel miffed she didn't save me any
[18:28:30] * cmn32480 give S the stinkeye
[18:28:37] <janrinok> I'd heard you were a little miffed, but one day you will be a big miffed
[18:29:23] <cmn32480> yeah but I won't get big miffed over chinese food. even home made
[18:30:14] <cmn32480> let S know I'm glad she finds me amusing. :-)
[18:30:54] <janrinok> will do, although to be fair we all find you amusing
[18:31:07] <cmn32480> what? like I'm some kind of clown?
[18:31:30] * janrinok seals lips, but finds laughing is difficult
[18:31:35] <cmn32480> clowns are scary
[18:31:45] <cmn32480> HOLD ME!!!!
[18:31:51] <janrinok> not in Chinese food they're not
[18:31:52] * cmn32480 jumps in janrinoks lap
[18:33:15] <janrinok> I hope you don't sit on me for too long
[18:36:11] * cmn32480 takes a nap
[18:36:22] <janrinok> not on my lap you don't
[18:36:46] * janrinok stands up and watches limp cmn32480 fall to floor
[18:36:50] <cmn32480> I think doing it on S's lap would be thoroughly inappropriate. She's married for crimon'ys sake
[18:37:26] <janrinok> good point
[18:37:39] * janrinok must find out who she is married to
[18:37:45] <cmn32480> good plan
[18:37:51] * janrinok remembers
[18:37:53] <cmn32480> I bet he's a swell guy
[18:38:18] <janrinok> we're happy but she deserves better
[18:38:22] * cmn32480 stretches and wonders how he ended up on the floor
[18:38:40] <janrinok> On the other hand, I did well out of the situation
[18:38:56] <cmn32480> so you are saying that you shot high and did pretty well then?
[18:39:04] <cmn32480> ninja'd
[18:39:18] <janrinok> I'm pleased with my side of the deal
[18:39:29] <cmn32480> y'oughta be!
[18:39:44] <janrinok> you don't do so bad yourself
[18:40:28] <cmn32480> I too shot high. Tackled her after I knocked her off the branch, and dragged her by the hair to my cave
[18:41:34] <janrinok> whereas, in both of our cases, I suspect we were just so pleased to have found our future partners that we stood then grinning like idiotds
[18:41:53] <janrinok> there grinning like idiots *
[18:42:07] <cmn32480> you and me, or you and S?
[18:42:10] * cmn32480 is confused
[18:42:19] <janrinok> lol
[18:42:31] <cmn32480> 'cuz you and... not so much
[18:42:40] <cmn32480> *you and me
[18:42:45] <janrinok> you can be really hurtful at times
[18:43:26] <cmn32480> I'm pretty sure we have never looked into each others eyes.
[18:43:39] <cmn32480> but I can guarantee that we both grin like idiots regularly
[18:44:08] <cmn32480> but I did ask J for her number in the pouring rain... sh thought I was nuts
[18:44:15] <cmn32480> and she was right!
[18:44:16] <janrinok> she was correct
[18:44:30] <janrinok> only 1 second in it - but ninja'd
[18:44:38] <cmn32480> and yet, she married me anyway...
[18:44:47] <janrinok> took pity, probably
[18:45:14] <cmn32480> been talking to her I see?
[18:46:01] <janrinok> Unfortunately no, but I would welcome the opportunity to meet you both in person.
[18:46:13] <cmn32480> I think that'd be a hoot
[18:46:36] <cmn32480> almost certain to be a good time had by all
[18:46:44] <janrinok> yep
[18:48:04] <cmn32480> I'll have to see when we are going to that side of the pond
[18:48:13] <cmn32480> most liekly Scotland
[18:48:53] <janrinok> well, take us as you find us, but you would be welcome
[18:49:30] <cmn32480> I'll probably need a map and some directiosn to find you
[18:49:49] <janrinok> you certainly would, especially if you are looking in Scotland
[18:49:58] <cmn32480> so far all I have is "British guy in Northern France"
[18:50:11] <cmn32480> that should be enough, right?
[18:50:12] <janrinok> how much info do you need?
[18:50:24] <cmn32480> I guess it depends on my Google Fu
[18:50:41] <janrinok> I'd be disappointed if Google gave me away
[18:51:29] <janrinok> no problem though, if it gets to the stage where it is a possibility, I will give you all the info that you need
[18:51:32] <cmn32480> it isn't much help.... you search "jan rinok"... all I get is some website called Soylent news
[18:51:42] <janrinok> funny old thing that ...
[18:51:58] <cmn32480> it is almost as though it was anome de plume
[18:52:53] <cmn32480> I shall keep it in mind, but we are a fair bit out as yet
[18:53:02] <janrinok> .., or a chap who was born in Holland in 1682 ...
[18:53:06] <cmn32480> thankfully my frequent flyer miles don't expire....
[18:53:57] <cmn32480> and they are on an airline that actually flies over the Atlantic the whole way!
[18:54:23] <janrinok> better than stopping half way ...
[18:54:55] <cmn32480> I was thinking that Southwest flies to the Carribean whcih is technically like flying over the atlantic
[18:55:30] <janrinok> ah, it make more sense now
[18:56:02] <cmn32480> i only have miles on 2 airlines
[18:56:31] <cmn32480> Southwest - which is contineltal US and a couple places in Mexico, the Carribean, and Central America
[18:57:12] <cmn32480> the other is United, which flies virtually everywhere, but I haven't flown them in a number of years and only keep the milkes becaseu I have the credit card
[18:57:25] <cmn32480> but I have a LOT of miles on United
[18:57:53] <cmn32480> enough for 2 tickets, round trip to anywhere in the world, first class, at leat twice
[18:58:51] <janrinok> I wonder how you manage to clock up so many air miles - rhetorical question :)
[18:59:29] <cmn32480> the ones on United are virtually all from the credit card
[18:59:44] <cmn32480> over the last nearly 15(?) years
[19:01:52] <janrinok> I've just added a few stories to the queue, we're good until tomorrow morning your time
[19:03:01] <cmn32480> excellent. I will stuff some stuff in the queue tonight
[19:03:21] <janrinok> well don't waste those air miles coming to see me - enjoy yourselves while you can, you never know what the future may hold
[19:03:44] <cmn32480> but if we happent o be in the neighborhood
[19:03:48] <janrinok> but if you are coming this way anyway, we'll be glad to see you
[19:04:29] <cmn32480> _I_ want to go to Normandy... we'll have to see what J wants to do, but that is a few years out
[19:04:53] <janrinok> well, I don't plan on going anywhere in the next few years so I should still be here
[19:07:53] <cmn32480> I shall keep it in mind
[19:10:18] <janrinok> this evening is passing quickly, soon be time to be on my way
[19:10:53] <cmn32480> understood
[19:11:02] <cmn32480> we have cub scouts tonight
[19:11:16] <janrinok> how many of them are yours?
[19:11:19] <cmn32480> but I ahve about 2 more hours of work left before I get to go home
[19:11:37] <cmn32480> just 1 for the moment!
[19:11:51] <janrinok> you doing the taxi service?
[19:11:55] <cmn32480> next year I might get another
[19:12:12] <cmn32480> thank god no. but all the kids get to go ot the packl meetigns once a month
[19:12:22] <cmn32480> this group goes out of their wayt to be family friendly
[19:12:34] <janrinok> once a month, ours used to be weekly
[19:12:41] <cmn32480> this is the whole pack
[19:12:48] <cmn32480> the dens meet weekly, I think
[19:13:01] <janrinok> ah, things are obviously different in the US version of cub scouts
[19:13:04] <cmn32480> but this is the first meeting for the school year
[19:13:10] <cmn32480> apparently
[19:13:40] <cmn32480> keep in mind, us AMericans don't take direction well, adn are likely to do things different just because you told us "this is how we do it"
[19:14:23] <janrinok> lol - stubborn as a mule but not as pretty. Can't remember which film that quote is from
[19:15:25] <cmn32480> not sure
[19:15:40] <janrinok> can't find it on google, perhaps I imagined it
[19:15:59] <cmn32480> me neither... or perhaps our Google Fu is not so strong tonight
[19:16:06] <janrinok> it was an early colour western as I recall
[19:19:42] <cmn32480> movies can in somethign other than color?

[19:21:34] * cmn32480 walks through the flower bed on his way back to the sidewalk
[19:22:49] <janrinok> the poison ivy and prickly thorn should see you off then
[19:23:30] * cmn32480 hoses off in calamine lotion
[19:24:21] <cmn32480> always did have a green thumb didn't you?
[19:24:45] <janrinok> well, the rest of me is the same colour, so I'm not surprised
