[15:12:02] <cmn32480> ~eds - FYI - I'm on the road all week driving to multiple sites, one out of the country in Canadia. Time will be more limited than usual. Will try my best to put in some effort as time allows. Will bring back virtual hockey sticks and Maple leaves for all
[15:12:03] <exec> editor ping for cmn32480 (reason: - fyi - i'm on the road all week driving to multiple sites, one out of the country in canadia. time will be more limited than usual. will try my best to put in some effort as time allows. will bring back virtual hockey sticks and maple leaves for all): janrinok LaminatorX n1 nick martyb Bytram Azrael mrcoolbp cmn32480 coolhand takyon cmn32480|away bytram|away
[15:16:21] <Bytram> cmn32480: please also bring back some maple syrup... and best of luck on your trip!
[15:33:56] <cmn32480> might be tough for me to swing back yer direction to drop it off
[15:35:01] <Bytram> np, it's the thought that counts! appreciate the actual consideration of it... was only meant in jest.
[15:35:44] <Bytram> but really, I *do* hope the trip goes well. Travelling adds extra difficulties on top of just getting things done... been there etc.
[15:36:06] <cmn32480> yeah
[15:36:31] <cmn32480> this trip runs me from Baltimore to Philly to North New Jersey to toronto and back to Baltimore
[15:36:58] <Bytram> all flights or do you do some drinving between sites, too?
[15:37:52] <cmn32480> all drive
[15:37:54] <cmn32480> no flights
[15:37:59] <Bytram> yowza!
[15:38:18] <cmn32480> 1150 miles
[15:38:23] <Bytram> well, on the bright side, no tsa 'greetings', either.
[15:38:37] * Bytram suggest you rent a tesla and 'leave the driving to us'
[15:38:38] <cmn32480> without adding in stops at hotels restaurants, and wrong turns
[15:38:57] <Bytram> yep, wrong turns are usually long turns
[15:39:11] <cmn32480> depends....
[15:39:22] <cmn32480> if I make 3 lefts, I'm usually al right
[15:39:51] <Bytram> yep, that was part of the directions on how to get to my college, back in the day.
[15:40:04] <cmn32480> hehe
[15:40:18] <cmn32480> It is gonna be a long ass trip
[15:40:48] <Bytram> to make a right turn onto a bridge across the river, while heading north, drive under the bridge ramp, take a left, go about 1/2 mile, take another left until you reach the beginning of the bridge rampo, and then one more left to get onto the bridge./
[15:41:02] <Bytram> using your own car or a rental?
[15:41:12] <cmn32480> but the mileage is worth about $500
[15:41:34] <cmn32480> brb.. my kids can't get netflix working
[15:41:39] <Bytram> lol.
[15:45:52] <cmn32480> we'll see
[15:46:10] <cmn32480> that TV has a known issue where it will sometimes lock up and need to be unplugged to fix it
[15:46:32] <cmn32480> happens every couple months
[15:46:40] * Bytram is glad that that is NOT how doctors practice medicine
[15:47:00] <cmn32480> just Microsoft?
[15:47:28] <Bytram> touche
[15:47:42] <Bytram> funny you should say that, I just submitted a story to which that would be apropos
[15:51:58] <cmn32480> and netflix still doesn't work.
[15:52:05] * cmn32480 sighs in frustration
[15:54:12] <Bytram> hmmm, does it work on a different TV?
[15:57:02] <cmn32480> yep
[15:57:09] <cmn32480> welll... my cell phone
[15:57:42] <Bytram> so, the *service* is available, right?
[15:58:07] <Bytram> do you have a media center, and if so, can you access it from that TV?
[15:58:36] <Bytram> IOW, does the TV have problems accessing your LAN?
[15:58:48] <cmn32480> says it doesnt'
[15:59:02] <cmn32480> and I get pings returned from it
[15:59:27] <Bytram> from the TV?
[15:59:30] <cmn32480> but I don't believe that the TV has a web page I can get into
[15:59:39] <Bytram> hrmmm,
[15:59:42] <cmn32480> from a PC to the IP address that the TV is telling me it has
[16:00:01] <Bytram> http://tv_ip:80 ??
[16:01:00] <cmn32480> tried it
[16:01:04] <Bytram> :(
[16:01:05] <cmn32480> also tried on 443
[16:01:07] <Bytram> nod nod
[16:03:36] <cmn32480> firmware updates are only automatic...
[16:03:38] <cmn32480> sheesh
[16:04:03] <Bytram> rain is messing with my connection... sorry about the reconnects
[16:05:09] <cmn32480> is no problem
[16:08:04] <Bytram> hmmm
[16:08:40] <cmn32480> I'm gonna go sit in front of it and beat it inot submission...
[16:08:44] * Bytram is trying to compute uncapped karma for a user
[16:08:53] * cmn32480 grabs the SN sledge hammer for "extra persuasion"
[16:08:56] <Bytram> bring a big stick and speak softly
[16:09:09] <cmn32480> lol
[16:09:28] <cmn32480> uncapped Karma? dear god... Takyn would be at about a gerzillion points
[16:09:40] <Bytram> nod nod
[16:11:05] <Bytram> is not easy... each comment has a karma field, but that seems to be the *sum* of the moderations applied to that comment
[16:12:25] <Bytram> feh... just lost my connection
[16:20:53] <cmn32480> and TV is magically fixed
[16:21:00] <cmn32480> dunno why

[16:22:52] <cmn32480> grass needs cutting (and holy hannah is it cold AF outside)
[16:23:06] * cmn32480 mutters somethign about a witches tit
[16:23:08] <Bytram> I think I have a handle on calculating karma based on comment moderation... next up is figuring accepted submissions, and I think that is all that afffects the karma, right?
[16:23:20] <cmn32480> +3 per accepted sub
[16:23:25] <cmn32480> I believe
[16:23:37] <Bytram> yes, but is there anything else?

[16:24:11] <cmn32480> I'm pretty sure those are the only things that accept karma
[16:24:12] <Bytram> and speeling
[16:24:19] <Bytram> nod nod
