[00:11:19] <Bytram> n1_: hey there! Howz thingsz today?
[00:11:49] <n1_> hey Bytram
[00:11:53] <n1_> just making some food right now
[00:12:04] <n1_> and potentially have a hole in the roof or something
[00:12:17] <Bytram> that does not sound good
[00:12:21] <Bytram> what gives you that idea?
[00:15:14] * Bytram just found out that a favorite hometown singer/songwriter who moved away to New York City to build her audience/opportunities has a local-ish gig coming up in September (YAY!) but it's a blackout day at work so I can't take the day off to see her. :(
[00:15:38] <Bytram> hmmm, making dinner... that sounds like a good idea! biab
[00:15:44] <Bytram> =)
[00:40:21] <n1_> when i came to sit down at my desk, i noticed a puddle of rusty looking water, although i dont think it's actually rust
[00:40:31] <n1_> but it definitely came through the roof
[00:40:52] <n1_> luckily my chair was just to the side of where the drips came from
[00:41:15] <Bytram> nod nod -- sounds like you had a close one there!
[00:41:33] <n1_> it was inches away from my chair, and where the laptop usually is on the desk
[00:41:47] <n1_> it would have been dripping directly on my head if i'd been here
[00:42:13] <Bytram> I came close to something like that when I left the top down on my convertible and parked under a lamp in a parking lot... the 'splotch' landed *just* inside the door and missed the seat by inches.
[00:42:23] <Bytram> good thing you weren't all there?
[00:42:27] <Bytram> ;)
[02:47:37] <Bytram> ~eds I heard from JR today. He has a couple family members who are in quite ill health. His persistent ministrations in helping them has taken a toll on him and he's recuperating from the efforts. Please keep them in your thoughts, and if you are of a mind to do so, prayers.

[11:10:56] <Fnord666_> I just wanted to ask about the site status story and whether you wanted it queued up or not.

[12:07:12] <cmn32480> I can't seem to maintain a connection to the IRC server from work. I'll chekc in perioodically.
[12:07:20] <cmn32480> bytram - got same email from JR. Made me sad.
[12:23:46] <Bytram> cmn32480: !!
[12:24:48] <Bytram> made me sad, too.
[12:25:03] <Bytram> Fnord666: I'm here now.
[12:25:16] <Bytram> I had trouble getting IRC to connect this AM, too.
[12:25:44] <Bytram> site status story is good to go live, but needs review with fine-tooth-comb.
[12:31:26] <Bytram> I've put out a msg to NCommander asking him to take a look at it... I'd really like to cut the funding goal for the 2nd half if we can, but would prefer to get his say-so before I do so.
[12:32:06] <Bytram> Maybe, instead of $3K base and $2K stretch, go for $2K base and $1K stretch?

[14:21:14] <Bytram> I just updated the "site news" block -- changed funding duration to THREE MONTHS from prior half year duration; kept same overall fund-raising *rate*, but split the amounts in half (i.e. accordingly): Base Goal: $1500 Stretch Goal: $1000 for 2017-07-01 thru 2017-09-30
