[01:49:05] <Bytram> AndyTheAbsurd: thanks for that... I found the wikipedia article on the story which filled me in on what I was looking for... trying to come up with a dept line for a story.
[01:50:05] <Bytram> read Dune about... 4 decades ago... so couldn't quite remember how to spell Atreides -- shame on me!
[01:50:41] <Bytram> any way... wrapping things up and going to call it a night shortly
[01:50:47] <Bytram> hope you have a great night!

[10:40:20] <Bender> karma - coffee: 4213
[10:40:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> well crap. already read all the news i care to today and it's not even one cup of coffee into the day.
[11:45:29] <Bytram> coffee++
[11:45:29] <Bender> karma - coffee: 4214
[11:47:38] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: Yeah, I know that... I donated my copy of 'Dune' and its 2 or 3 sequels at the time to the local library. I had read it while recuperating from having several teeth extracted, so it was something to take my mind off of the pain. Translation, details were kinda lost on me. As for why not reading it now, well, in what spare time? =)
[11:48:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> well, you've got those several hours a day that you just waste lying around unconscious
[11:48:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> slacker
[11:55:52] <Bytram> lol
[11:56:05] <Bytram> wasn't happening last night
[11:56:09] <Bytram> humidity--
[11:56:09] <Bender> karma - humidity: -2
[11:58:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> serious about that whole ice chest AC by the way. they work and a bag or two of ice ain't expensive.
[11:59:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> not viable for cooling a house but if you want limited directional coldness they'll do for a bit
[12:02:17] * TheMightyBuzzard ponders
[12:02:33] * Bytram plunders
[12:03:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> might be more efficient to use something besides ice. haven't really looked into the thermal density of other materials though.
[12:03:37] * Bytram notices he hasn't received "Daily Moderation Stats" and " Daily Site Stats " e-mails for over a week.
[12:03:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> have em turned off?
[12:03:52] <Bytram> heh. dry ice -- easier cleanup
[12:04:06] <Bytram> nope... just looked and verified... no changes in, like, forever
[12:04:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> container would have to be vented outside to keep from killing you
[12:04:27] <Bytram> that would be kinda important, yeah
[12:04:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> might be mail filters then
[12:04:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> either on the server or in your client
[12:04:40] <Bytram> hrmmmm, brb
[12:05:42] <Bytram> nope, that's not it.
[12:05:50] <Bytram> Also, not getting "Moderation Stats" either
[12:05:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> main site or dev?
[12:06:17] <Bytram> last e-mail for those was 2018-07-24
[12:06:20] <Bytram> prod
[12:07:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'll look into it after while. we're not out anything important enough to warrant work before coffee yet.
[12:07:34] * Bytram chuckles... righto
[12:07:41] <Bytram> an still receiving "SoylentNews Daily Newsletter"
[12:08:05] <Bytram> Subject: "[SoylentNews] Stories for 2018-08-03"
[12:08:26] <Bytram> no rush... just noticed it and just wanted to pass it along.
[12:08:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> hrm... that reminds me. i still need to figure out how to get the db changes from the last site update into the db.
[12:08:57] <Bytram> among other things on the site, I've got some stuff set up just to make sure we are still doing what we say we're gonna do.
[12:09:07] <Bytram> huh?
[12:09:13] <Bytram> how are we running without 'em?
[12:09:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> the one that would change story notes to TEXT rather than VARCHAR
[12:09:29] <Bytram> ahhh, nod nod
[12:09:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> nothing crucial

[12:09:37] <upstart> ^ 03Crucial US | DRAM, Solid State Drive (SSD) & Memory Upgrades
[12:10:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> but the way the db server's set up, it just sat there and spun for ages without the changes taking effect.
[12:10:33] <Bytram> no rush... has been not working for well over a week... a few hours or a day won't make that much difference, so long as they still come out eventually (for historical purposes)
[12:10:44] <Bytram> that's not good.
[12:11:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> pretty sure it's the memory limits we placed on the cluster nodes
[12:11:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> not sure how to tweak them properly though
[12:11:45] <Bytram> no eyed ear
[12:11:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> #weather
[12:11:57] <MrPlow> Today: Partly cloudy with afternoon showers or thunderstorms. High near 90F. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 60%. Tomorrow: Partly cloudy skies. A stray shower or thunderstorm is possible. High 92F. Winds SW at 5 to 10 mph.
[12:12:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> hmm...

[12:12:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> when am i not?
[12:12:49] <Bytram> LOL!
[12:13:42] <Bytram> btw, following up on yesterday's chat... they don't even have a web site, so there's an opportunity there for a simple, static one, too.
[12:14:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> think i'll get it done this morning while everyone's at church then poke at my trolling motor in the afternoon.
[12:14:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> not surprising
[12:14:44] <Bytram> suprised? no, but strikes me as terribly short-sighted in today's environment
[12:15:12] <Bytram> a few pages, some nice pics, contact us, etc. Easy-Peasy.
[12:15:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> not strictly necessary. wouldn't hurt but if you're keeping units full why bother?
[12:16:01] <Bytram> well, 'cept for all that supporting who-knows-what-kind-of-device resolution / width / etc. graceful degradation.
[12:16:27] <Bytram> there's always some turnover
[12:16:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> perfectly viable to pitch though given it takes only a very small amount of anyone's time to create.
[12:16:58] <Bytram> You know that. I know that. Them, not so much. "Magic Box"
[12:17:13] <Bytram> =)
[12:17:27] <Bytram> Good magicians make good money.
[12:17:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> not worth the trouble without the rest of it though.
[12:18:55] <Bytram> I dunno, a static site, one-time setup... 'n' updates per year. Setup + annual fee for domain name, etc.
[12:19:23] <Bytram> otoh, they *could* just go to wix or some other similar thingy
[12:20:47] <Bytram> anyway, just wanted to put that out there to add to the mix.
[12:22:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> aight, ima go mix up some catfish bait and head out to the lake. yall have fun.
[12:22:19] <Bytram> nod nod
[12:22:31] <Bytram> have fun, and thanks for the chats!
[12:48:12] <Bytram> time to get going about my day... laters!
[12:54:05] <chromas> Don't call yourself a magician; say "entrepreneur". You sell blockchain technology.
