[04:58:52] <Bytram> and they need feeding
[04:58:57] <Bytram> and cleaning up after.

[05:00:41] <Bytram> next time, just send an RC drone with a camera?
[05:00:43] <cmn32480> which, I will admit, makes me feel good

[05:01:02] <cmn32480> yeah
[05:01:17] <cmn32480> and it is damn cold in Chicago
[05:01:43] <Bytram> if it were easy and fun... they would prolly not pay much to have someone to do it (your work, that is)

[05:02:39] <Bytram> at least the wind has stopped for the moment
[05:03:12] <cmn32480> it was 13 yesterday morning
[05:03:14] <Bytram> I imagine the wind chill puts you at it feeling colder there than here.
[05:03:30] <cmn32480> the snot froze in my moustache

[05:07:11] <Bytram> I'd be happy these days if I could even run at all
[05:07:26] <cmn32480> pretty much
[05:07:36] <Bytram> these old-ish bones creak a lot more than they used to!
[05:07:37] <cmn32480> I'd prefer to be able to sleep welladn wake up on time
[05:07:48] <Bytram> that sounds like a good thing, too.

[05:10:00] <cmn32480> sweet dreams
[05:10:07] <cmn32480> I dumped a couple in the queue
[05:10:08] <Bytram> well, you're not really supposed to type with your elbow, or have I been doing it wrong all these years?
[05:10:13] <cmn32480> yes
[05:10:23] <cmn32480> it is basically a repetitive stress injury
[05:10:38] <Bytram> got it.
[05:10:47] <Bytram> many MANY thanks for pushing out stories!
[05:10:57] <cmn32480> and hold ing a tablet for hours on end while taking wireless surveys done'st help either

[15:25:26] <upstart> ^ 03Journal of The Mighty Buzzard (18)
[15:26:06] <Bytram> btw, while I wzs trying to recover from a luser error yesterday, tried to do a bounce on all the servers... AFAICT it only ran on 3 servers: hydrogen lithium fluorine
[15:26:37] <Bytram> I thought we had backups/fallbacks/whatevah for all our servers
[15:27:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> those are the only ones that have public web frontends. don't even attempt it anywhere else.
[15:27:29] <Bytram> so, those three are necessary AND sufficient?
[15:27:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> hydrogen and fluorine are backups of each other. dev/lithium doesn't have a fallback.
[15:27:45] <Bytram> got it. Thanks!
[15:28:09] * TheMightyBuzzard tips his fedora
[15:28:29] * Bytram feels the [warm] fuzz[ies]
[15:30:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> speaking of, if i don't get to playing with it today, i'm going to start on the dev vm again tomorrow. i'll likely need a mailing address since it's going to be gentoo based and gentoo takes up way too much space for your monthly allowance.
[15:31:25] <Bytram> appreciate the thought, but how will e-mailing it to me bypass my monthly allowance?
[15:32:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> you don't get charged for bandwidth consisting of getting a usb key mailed to you.
[15:32:11] <Bytram> and, I [temporarily] changed to a larger data allowance plan, but lower speed. IIRC 22GB at about 350KB/sec
[15:33:15] <Bytram> OTOH, ISTR that heavy throttling was set up by audioguy(?) so it may be necessary for me to push instead of pull it down.
[15:33:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> prolly have to give a crash course on how to update the os as well
[15:33:49] <Bytram> pm?
[15:33:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> sure
