08:35 <@oddball> Yep, it's snowing, but it's not sticking.
08:35 <@Dolemite> That's our second snow of the season, too
08:35 <@oddball> I predict the roads will be a skating rink in the morning.
08:36 <@oddball> I missed the first one.
08:36 <@Dolemite> It was the 20th, I think
08:37 <@Dolemite> I was up in Pigeon Forge on the 18th and it snowed that morning, then I drove back home and a couple of days later it was snowing in Smyrna
08:37 <@oddball> I must have been in Pulaski that day or something.
08:38 <@Shadow404> finally time to land
08:39 <@Dolemite> Shadow404 : So where are you going in Nashville?
08:39 <@Shadow404> in and out
08:39 <@Dolemite> Oh, so visiting Corydon again.
08:39 < Peaches84> lol
08:39 <@Shadow404> gotta hit peak 10 colocation center to change out a router
08:39 <@Shadow404> lawl, i knew that would be a cheap retort
08:40 <@Dolemite> which one?  Brentwood, Cool Springs I or the new Cool Springs II?
08:40 <@Shadow404> let me check the address
08:41 <@Shadow404> Nashville II franklin
08:41 <@Dolemite> Seabord Lane?
08:41 <@Shadow404> 7100 commerce way
08:42 <@Dolemite> ah, that would be Cool Springs I
08:42 <@Dolemite> the old Service Merchandise HQ

10:40 <@Shadow404> woot, done with the router instal, time to catch a plane home. btw, i like that colo Dolemite
10:40 <@Shadow404> had to borrow a crash cart and that was no problem
10:41 <@Shadow404> plus the security was professional, but still courteous
10:44 <@Dolemite> Shadow404 : They have good procedures, but their facilities are a bit lacking.
10:44 <@Shadow404> well, we dont have *much* stuff there, more of an extension, so works perfect for our needs
10:44 <@Dolemite> They don't have the capacity to support high density environments and because of their location, the fiber already in the area isn't very high
10:45 <@Shadow404> this is true, i could see that being an issue
10:45 <@Dolemite> They are an excellent facility for small customers (less than 10 racks)

12:49 <@aestetix> Dagmar: Catonic said to ask you about when you were in San Francisco
12:49 <@Dagmar> Ask me what?
12:50 <@aestetix> Apparently you had a really good time. *shrugs*
12:50 <@sdodson> Corydon76-lap: Thanks.
12:52 <@aestetix> So uh. God damn. Re: shmoocon tickets
12:52 <@Neoteric> aestetix: i got mine
12:52 <@Dolemite> how many minutes did it take to sell out this time?  1.5?
12:52 <@aestetix> I meant the server issues.
12:53 <@Dagmar> How can one man be *this* wrong: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/12/01/richard_bennett_utorrent_udp/
12:54 <@Dagmar> "One rational response is to make UDP the prime candidate for packet discard. When five per cent of users consume half the network.s resources and block access to 75 per cent of its total capacity, it makes sense to target them for throttling. But such throttling will utterly destroy VoIP."
12:54 <@Catonic> sweet
12:55 <@Catonic> do it
12:55 <@Catonic> I so want to see VoIP and DNS get broken. dns dns dns!
12:55 <@Dagmar> I was pretty damn sure UDP already was the prime candidate for packet tossage
12:55 <@Dagmar> TCP > UDP > ICMP
12:56 <@Dagmar> How the Hell is that supposed to negatively affect VOIP anyway
12:56 <@Catonic> what does WoW use?
12:56 <@Dagmar> If someone's VOIP implementation is severely impacted by packet loss, they shouldn't have been doing it over fuckin' UDP.
12:57 <@Dagmar> Catonic: Nothing that will be affected by this crazy old man
12:57 <@Catonic> Dagmar: IAX (Asterisk) uses UDP.
12:57 <@Shadow404> Catonic: udp for wow
12:57 <@Shadow404> just checked
12:57 <@Dagmar> Catonic: Good for them.  What's that got to do with anything
12:58 <@Catonic> I'm just saying, if you blanket drop all udp, that's one service that would be impacted.
12:58 <@Shadow404> among MANY others
12:58 <@Dagmar> If you blanket drop all UDP, and you work at an ISP, someone should be fired for not having already fired you.
12:59 <@Dagmar> The point is this, man...
12:59 <@Dagmar> ANyone who implemented something over UDP, the Unreliable Datagram Protocol, and did so in a way that requires all packets arrive all the time...
12:59 <@Dagmar> ...they're a fucking moron.
13:00 <@Dagmar> I'm rather sure that any decent VOIP apps will have no major issues if they suffer from some packet loss.
13:00 <@I-MOD> i thought it was user datagram protocol
13:00  * Dagmar watches the point fly over I-MOD's head.
13:00 <@Shadow404> aka an ackless protocol
13:00 <@Corydon76-lap> Dagmar: it's not the protocol that suffers; it's the underlying codec
13:01 <@Dagmar> Corydon76-dig: No, I never ever would have guessed that
13:01 <@Shadow404> a codec that relies on a poor choice protocol
13:01 <@Catonic> What smells like death in the air?
13:01 <@Shadow404> udp is great for some things, but not for voip
13:01 <@Corydon76-lap> iLBC, for example, is a codec that survives up to 20% packet loss
13:02 <@Shadow404> what does ventrillo use?
13:02 <@Dagmar> UDP, absolutely.
13:02 <@Drag0n> its more fud probably paid for by the big media groups to make bittorrent out to be the big bad wolf, FTP has been using udp for years, and before bittorrent, it was the major trafic source for file transfers
13:02 <@Dagmar> You can tell from the way it (mis)behaves
13:02 <@Corydon76-lap> Anyway, meeting time
13:02 <@I-MOD> Shadow404, udp is great for voip, because human speech has so much redundancy, you can experience massive losses and still get your meaning across
13:02 < zadeaux> have to factor in qos unless you're talking about internet
13:02 <@Dagmar> Drag0n: Judging from the other things Dick Bennett has written I suspect you're right
13:03 <@Dagmar> *Most* of his past articles published to the Register just scream "shill"
13:03 <@Shadow404> yeah, vent uses upd and tcp
13:04 <@Dagmar> Drag0n: Except FTP doesn't use UDP, by the way.
13:04 <@Shadow404> tcp to keep track of connections ot the server and udp for actual voip data
13:04 <@I-MOD> depends on the implementation
13:04 <@I-MOD> some are all udp
13:04 <@Dagmar> Some whats?
13:05 <@Dagmar> Dude, I hope you're not talking about TFTP.
13:05 <@critch> I-MOD: speech isn't redundant. It is just more fault tolerant.
13:06 <@Dagmar> critch++
13:06 <@I-MOD> Dagmar, voip protocol implementations
13:06 <@I-MOD> critch, ok, you got me on a technicality
13:06 <@Catonic> So I went and checked out Kelly Ingram park and the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham over the weekend.
13:07 <@Catonic> I wish I'd taken pictures of one of the scuptures -- it's three large metal dogs coming out of black monoliths, on either side of the sidewalk.
13:07 <@Shadow404> u picked up a church chick?
13:07 <@aestetix> This reminds me.
13:07 <@Dagmar> I-MOD: Either way, the fundamental difference between UDP and TCP that they basically teach you the first day they start talking about socket coding is that TCP is reliable, UDP is not.
13:07 <@Catonic> I've lived here for 2.5 years and I've never seen the park.
13:07 <@aestetix> I need to get yourmom@bigbrea.st
13:07 <@critch> I-MOD: and the use of UDP in VoIP is to make jitter not a problem. If you receive packets out of order, the older ones are dropped. The newer ones played. This allows you to not gain so much in delay as the call continues.
13:07 <@Dagmar> UDP packets shouldn't be treated as guaranteed delivery.
13:08 <@Dagmar> UDP is something you use when latency is more important than accuracy.
13:08 <@Catonic> there's another installation which is a large monolith with two water cannons.
13:08 <@Dagmar> ...and what this Bennett guy is saying is just wrong.
13:08 <@Catonic> I get the sense that some people try to keep the wounds open, rather than let time heal them.
13:09 <@I-MOD> it sounds like we're agreeing...

13:13 <@aestetix> anyone wanna host bigbrea.st
13:16 <@Dagmar> I-MOD: BTW< yeah it is "user" datagram protocol, but it is more useful (and meaningful) to refer to it as "unreliable" datagram protocol for bunches of reasons.
13:16 <@sdodson> unconfirmed, it's relatively reliable
13:21 <@I-MOD> lol
13:26 <@Drag0n> its normaly the application that makes the reliablility
13:26 <@Shadow404> the only thing thats truely unreliable is you sdodson
13:28 <@critch> Drag0n: not really, it can be the application that makes unreliable transport into fault tollerant.
13:30 <@critch> Drag0n: VoIP doesn't mind the loss of data. It is the user who may not enjoy it.
13:31 <@Drag0n> true, but the application has the opportunity to correct the unreliability depending on intelligent algorithms and extraolating what SHOULD be there
13:35 <@critch> of course that is assuming that the information is important. If I implemented a tracker for temprature, it is possible to drop some of my readings especially if I don't expect tempt to change more than a certain amount over any given reading. So loosing information isn't always a problem.
13:37 <@Drag0n> yep

15:13 <@Corydon76-lap> Can anybody in Nashville confirm a report of accumulating sleet on the ground?
15:15 <@Dagmar> I can't necessarily confirm it, but having just come back in from outside it wouldn't suprise me
15:15 <@Dagmar> It's cold as hell, and ther'es frozen stuff falling from the sky.
15:15 <@Dagmar> Radar doesn't seem to indicate that there's any considerable amount of stuff falling anywhere tho
15:16 <@Dagmar> I've been watching it closely considering that I've seen nothing about salt trucks and I leave work at midnight, so I might be looking at an "interesting" drive home
15:17 <@critch> Corydon76-lap: just looked out the window of my office and see nothing on the ground.
15:17 <@Shadow404> wohoo, made it back to atlanta before it got bad
15:18 <@Corydon76-lap> critch: I just got a report of accumulating sleet near Grassmere, so I wanted to see if I needed to leave here well before dark
15:18 <@critch> I'm near airport with nothing coming down nor accumulating.
15:18 <@Corydon76-lap> I really don't feel like spending hours tonight on the road due to TN drivers not knowing how to drive in the stuff
15:19 <@Dagmar> Acocrding to the meteorology reports it should taper off and/or die out between 6pm and 9pm, and it's not doing _much at all_ at the present time
15:19 <@critch> looks like eveything is staying south of the loop. No wonder I don't see anything

15:21 <@critch> Corydon76-lap: http://www.tdot.state.tn.us/cctv/cctvnash/cam87.asp
15:21 <@critch> I was looking at weather.com
15:21 <@critch> http://www.weather.com/weather/local/37076?from=recentsearch
15:21 <@Dagmar> Okay.  I'll check there now.  I was looking at wtvf and wunderground
15:21 <@Corydon76-lap> Dagmar: I was checking out newschannel5.com
15:22 <@critch> weather.com doesn't show Hermitage dropping below freezing till after 8pm.
15:22 <@Dagmar> OKay, I thought weather.com might be showing something distinctly different from the other sites
15:22 <@Dagmar> Very, very light weather
15:23 <@critch> Corydon76-lap: I wonder who is giving you those reports, this is near grassmere, http://www.tdot.state.tn.us/cctv/cctvnash/cam54.asp
15:24 <@Corydon76-lap> critch: Peaches84
15:24 <@Dagmar> Probably someone who wasn't careful enough to distinguish between "It's not melting" and "significant amounts aren't falling"
15:25 <@critch> Corydon76-lap: This should help when you need that kind of info, http://ww2.tdot.state.tn.us/tsw/smartmap.htm
15:26 <@Corydon76-lap> Dagmar: careful, now, you're talking about my fiance.
15:27 <@critch> Corydon76-lap: your are engaged?
15:27  * critch slapps self for screwed up sentence
15:27 <@Dagmar> Corydon76-dig: So chide her for not being a little more explicit
15:27 <@Corydon76-lap> critch: I gave him a ring last night
15:27 <@Corydon76-lap> Dagmar: wrong gender
15:27 <@Dagmar> ...or tease her by asking if she needs to make a panicked run to Kroger's.  ;)
15:29 <+SmthingPrductive> just forwarded a message to one of our girls, saying "Don't shoot the messenger... Make him buy you dinner sometime instead ;)" ;)
15:31 <@critch> Corydon76-lap: what are you using for a cell phone nowdays, and do you have a good data plan?

15:33 <@critch> err, rather http://wkrn.images.worldnow.com/images/incoming/trafficcams.htm
15:34 <@critch> yeah, was hand typing from my phone to my PC. tried it to verify after hitting the enter button.
15:34 <@Corydon76-lap> critch: Sidekick III, unlimited data
15:34 <+SmthingPrductive> was hoping to go there and see 'some women of exceptionally low inhibitions about public nudity' directing traffic

15:41 <@nachoguy> damn

15:42 <@nachoguy> bah, dead bot
15:46 <@rhia> snow, that flurry white stuff that floats in the air every couple years?  it accumulates on the ground? - in inches!?! what a novel concept
15:47 <+SmthingPrductive> I had a couple flakes accumulate on my scottevest... not enough to measure
15:47 <@Dementia> yeah... I remember when I didn't live in an area where it stuck around for months. Oh yeah. It was last year.
15:48 <+SmthingPrductive> I remember living in an area where we got a couple 12-18" snowfalls a year...
15:48 <@Shadow404> trader
15:48  * SmthingPrductive remembers going home for X-mas last year and shoveling
15:48 <@Dementia> Ok, this is saying 2-4", so it was probably closer to that. http://www.crh.noaa.gov/news/display_cmsstory.php?wfo=lot&storyid=19674&source=0
15:51 <@Drag0n> oh, we had that in miami too, they had an explosion at a drug bust

16:08 <@critch> wow, I love credit unions
16:08 <@critch> just received my intrest refund, wow
16:12 <@nachoguy> I hate marketing people
16:12 <@Dagmar> I'm seriously considering moving to one, but I want to find one that's not going to be getting me second-class citizen treatment with the debit card
16:12 <@critch> I don't have trouble with my card
16:13 <@critch> I also received $1088 back from the interest I paid on my debts
16:13 <@critch> about 11% of the interest I paid in this year
16:14 < oddball> Dagmar: bank fucking with you?
16:15 <@Dagmar> No more than the usual when you're a BoA customer
16:15 <@Dagmar> I just know credit unions tend to not do stupidly risky things with their assets

16:24 <@Dagmar> WTF.  Playstation Home was supposed to release on the 19th like I thought, but I see no sign of it
16:25 <@Drag0n> guess their home got forclosed
16:25 < oddball> you thought it was still coming out on time?
16:27 <@Drag0n> sony release anything on time without root kits or back doors? what were you thinking
16:27 <@Dagmar> I expect they'll at least say something when they miss a milestone
16:28 <@Drag0n> and bring attention to their failure?
16:29 < oddball> I was thinking one of my friends mentioned something about it being delayed, but I can't remember the specifics.
16:31 <@Dagmar> Drag0n: Perhaps you should look at that videojug URL

18:09 <@Dagmar> Check Newegg
