09:33 < epoxy> hii
09:37 <@nachoguy> how goes?
09:37 < epoxy> it goes welll
09:38 < epoxy> coming in early blows though. but meh
09:39 <@nachoguy> Does that mean that you get to leave early?
09:39 < epoxy> yeah I can leave now.. I don't really have times, just deadlines.
09:40 < epoxy> I just _really_ wanted to sleep in hehe
09:40 <@Dolemite> I can relate to that
09:41 < epoxy> If anyone wants/could use a soekris board, I've got 2 I'm trying to get rid of for a few bucks
09:41 <@Dolemite> Because I just _really_ thought I had just closed my eyes after hitting snooze this morning, when the damn alarm went off again, and it was 14 minutes later...   I'd apparently been sleeping through 4 minutes of alarm
09:41 < epoxy> and a routerboard 500 I don't need anymore.
09:42 < epoxy> I can certainly relate to that. I have to have multiple alarms.. it's like a nuclear attack when I wake up. My gf loves it.
09:55 <@oddball> Ah... the joys of taking these days off for shits and giggles.
10:02 <@nachoguy> meh, I'd rather work these days when no one else is and take time off during the rest of the yyear
10:06 <@oddball> Well, there's also the part where my vacation days were about to expire.  So... use them or lose them.
10:07 <@nachoguy> ah, yeah.  If it's use or lose, and they don't pay out, might as well use them
10:07 <@oddball> Also, there's less of a chance of me being called back into the office this week (being the IT guy).

11:27 <@Corydon76-home> epoxy: Sonic Bomb alarm clock?
12:21 < epoxy> sounds about right
12:31 <@Corydon76-home> Yep, that's what I use, too, especially the bed shaker
12:32 <@Corydon76-home> They need to combine that one with the Neverlate alarm clock... different schedule on each of 7 days
12:32 <@Corydon76-home> or just add a bed shaker option onto the neverlate clock
12:33 < epoxy> I wonder if I could just post a craiglist ad for 20$ a wk waker uper person
12:33 < epoxy> tips for breakfast
12:38 <@Dolemite> Today was the first day in years that the alarm didn't immediately get me up
12:39 <@Dolemite> Of course, I'm used to having to get up and out of the house without waking up the wife and kids
12:39 <@Dolemite> We'll see how well that works in the new house
12:39 <@Dagmar> I'm finally replacing my bomb clock with a Chumby
12:40 <@Dagmar> I feel like I should get a priest to sprinkle holy water on it, since I repaired it so many times there's definitely a zombie look to it
12:40 <@Dagmar> The whole "shaking my bed
12:40 <@Dagmar> The whole "shaking my bed" thing turned out to be a bad idea
12:41 <@Dolemite> Wait.  You mean this thing does actually have a bed shaker?
12:41 <@Dagmar> Yep.
12:42 <@Dagmar> That Sonic Boom alarm clock they sell has a thing about the size of two eggs you just stick between the mattress and box springs and it will _seriously_ make the bed wobble
12:42 <@Dagmar> That, of course, is the sort of thing that causes me to wake up swinging occasionally
12:42 <@Dagmar> I wake up less violently to GOA trance
12:42 <@Dolemite> I'm sure it's not too popular in the Bay Area
12:43 <@Dagmar> It wouldn't work there
12:43 <@Dagmar> You either learn to sleep through smaller earthquakes or you lose a lot of sleep
12:44 <@Dagmar> My brother got me a CHumby One for Christmas http://www.chumby.com/pages/compare
12:45 <@Dagmar> It's a bit of an alarm clock on a mix of steroids and peyote
12:45 <@Dagmar> If they ever show up on Woot again, get one
12:46 <@Dagmar> At ~$100 they're a little pricey, but at the prices Woot usually has they'd be perfect
12:48 <@oddball> The Chumby does look like a cool techy toy.
12:48 <@Dagmar> It is.
12:48 <@Dagmar> Theres like a million clock faces it has, for starters
12:48 <@oddball> heh
12:48 <@Dagmar> The newsfeeds and twitter/facebook things are nifty too
12:48 <@Dagmar> It also has FM radio, and taps into a crapload of shoutcast/mp3 streamers
12:49 <@oddball> It's kind of up there with Sony's latest attempt to push an internet appliance for places like the kitchen.
12:49 <@Dagmar> Like, for once, there's something that does every goddamn kinda thing you'd want such a clock to do
12:49 <@CRasH180> That is interesting. You can even get it on your android phone for $5
12:49 <@Dagmar> Yeah, just umm... Don't bother with the 'Chumbyland' app right now
12:49 <@Dagmar> It's terrifyingly buggy.  It looks like it _never_ releases resources between screens
12:49 <@oddball> ew
12:50 <@CRasH180> If you have a $20 android dock, it would be just like a streaming alarm clock
12:50 <@Dagmar> Pretty much
12:50 <@oddball> CRasH180: only problem with that is that most people are pretty heavy handed with their alarm clocks in the morning.
12:51 <@Dagmar> That would be why the first chumby was made with padded leather sides.  ;)
12:51 <@Dagmar> Looked a bit like a football with a miniature TV shoved into it
12:51 <@CRasH180> oddball: That is true. I thought about that.
12:52 <@CRasH180> It would be a very expensive mistake to throw your phone across the room or smash it
12:52 <@Dagmar> It's got a set of various alarm sounds, and can just start playing from a stream/resource once you shut off the alarm
12:52 <@Dagmar> I turn it off, I have technos
12:53 <@oddball> Oh, I've busted alarm clock just from the daily half-asleep-make-the-noise-stop slaps.
12:53 <@Dagmar> Alarm volume and stream volume are independent from the spinwheel on the side as well
12:55 <@Corydon76-home> From my childhood, I had an alarm clock where I had worn out the snooze button.  I had to take it apart and add extra padding between the key and the circuit board to make it work again
12:55 <@CRasH180> lol
12:55 <@CRasH180> wow, you enjoyed your sleep
12:55 <@oddball> Oh, my mom bought me an iPad for Christmas.  I was half expecting her to buy herself a MacBook Air with all the squeeing she did over them at the Apple store.
12:55 <@Corydon76-home> Used several layers of the sticky from a plastic bandaid
12:56 <@Dagmar> On the sonic boom I have epoxied the case twice, replaced the alarm switch three times
12:56 <@oddball> heh
12:56 <@Dagmar> WHen I say I "occasionally wake up swinging", I am not speaking facetiously
12:57 <@oddball> There's a reason why I wouldn't try to wake you up when we were roommates.
12:57 <@Corydon76-home> CRasH180: I've slept through a tornado before
12:57 <@CRasH180> agh
12:57 <@Dagmar> It can be safely done from a distance
12:58 <@Dagmar> *Suprising* me within striking distance tho'... ver' bad.
12:58 <@Dagmar> :/
12:58 <@Dagmar> Yay perkins
12:58 <@Corydon76-home> CRasH180: what woke me up were the flashing lights from the firetruck afterwards
12:58 <@oddball> Soooo.... I should have shot you with an airsoft gun? :p
12:58 <@Bahhumbug> supersoaker from across the room
12:58 <@Dagmar> oddball: I can't help but think any kind of gun might be a bad thing to have in sight at that time
12:58 <@oddball> heh
12:59 <@Dagmar> Someone could lose an eye
12:59 <@Dagmar> ...and it wouldn't be from an airsoft pellet.  ;)
12:59 <@Dagmar> Heheh the landlady got to see me working on my nails yesterday
13:00 <@Dagmar> 220 grit sandpaper
13:00 <@Corydon76-home> You work on your fingernails?
13:00 <@Dagmar> If I dont' want them to grow into foot-long talons, yes.
13:00 <@Dagmar> My nails are _extremely_ hard
13:01 <@Dagmar> Mainly I just sand them down
13:01 <@Corydon76-home> You cannot use clippers?
13:01 <@oddball> You know... some folks just use scissors.
13:01 <@Dagmar> I can use clippers on most of the fingernails, but the thumbnails I can almost engrave wood with
13:01 <@Corydon76-home> oddball: I used to have a pair of nail scissors
13:02 <@Dagmar> THey also grow about a mm a day
13:02 <@oddball> I'm a barbarian and typically use the scissors on my Leatherman Micra.
13:02 <@Bahhumbug> foot-long talons might be cool to have.
13:02 <@Dagmar> Bahhumbug: TRY PEEING LIKE THAT
13:02 <@Corydon76-home> Try also loosening your fly with long nails
13:02 <@Corydon76-home> Or typing
13:02 <@Bahhumbug> I don't see why it would be an issue.  wiping your butt might be more difficult.
13:03 <@Dagmar> Yeah that's been a problem before
13:03 <@Dagmar> I _sand_ because I sharp edges on these things is really, really bad
13:03 <@Bahhumbug> had an ex that had stupidly hard nails.  friggin' things were *dangerous*
13:03 <@Dagmar> Typing with long nails is pretty easy., tho
13:03 <@Dagmar> That this G15 has put up with it for so long is impressive
13:04 <@Corydon76-home> Dagmar: I'm surprised you don't use the pet nail thingie
13:04 <@Dagmar> Speaking of which...
13:04 <@oddball> It just does bad things to the keys.
13:04 <@Dagmar> Corydon76-home: I have used my dremel before.  THat probably counts
13:04 <@Corydon76-home> Basically, it's a Dremel with sandpaper
13:04 <@Bahhumbug> do those pet claw grinders work?
13:04 <@Bahhumbug> we've been considering one for our critters.
13:04 <@Dagmar> oddball: Hilariously, my nails have never affected these keyes
13:04 <@Corydon76-home> They do, but the pets tend to be panicky over the roar of the motor
13:05 <@Bahhumbug> hmm, one would think they'd have used a quiet motor.
13:05 <@oddball> Yeah... I've always wondered how drugged up the animals on those commercials were.
13:05 <@Dagmar> WTF?  Best Buy has the G510's in now?
13:05 <@Corydon76-home> It is a quiet motor, but it's still hums loud enough to panic animals
13:05 <@Bahhumbug> oddball: yeah, same here.
13:05 <@Bahhumbug> hmm
13:05 <@Bahhumbug> I might have to drop some cash and give it a try.
13:06 <@Dagmar> Looks like I'm getting a new keyboard today
13:06 <@Bahhumbug> mutt and cat hate having us clip their claws.
13:06 <@oddball> Bahhumbug: even a whisper quiet motor tends to freak animals out at close range.  Especially once it starts eating their claws.
13:06 <@Corydon76-home> Plus there's the vibration from the motor, when it hits their claws
13:06 <@Bahhumbug> My animals are odd.  Current mutt and cat before the current one loved to be vacuumed with the hose/wand thingie.
13:07 <@Dagmar> That assumes you have a normal animal--not like those crazy ones you see on YouTube riding a Roomba around like a palanquin
13:07 <@Bahhumbug> yeah, the vibration might freak 'em out
13:07 <@Corydon76-home> I might have to try it on one of the rabbits with long claws, though... I've only yet tried it on the dog
13:07 <@Corydon76-home> I have shirts that prove those rabbits don't like being held
13:08 <@Bahhumbug> heh
13:08 <@Dolemite> They prefer to be stewed?
13:08 <@Corydon76-home> They prefer to be left alone
13:08 <@Dolemite> But they're not as tasty left alone!
13:08 <@Corydon76-home> To be fair, my Siberian Husky doesn't like being held, either
13:09 <@Corydon76-home> I hear dog is tasty, too
13:09 <@Dolemite> That's what I hear
13:09 <@Dagmar> You've been eating at International Market.
13:10 <@Corydon76-home> and there's far more meat on a dog than on a rabbit
13:10 <@Dagmar> You no longer need to rely on hearsay.
13:10 <@Corydon76-home> I don't eat mammals of any kind, actually
13:10 <@husky> ill never eat a dog
13:10 <@husky> that will be cannibalism
13:11 <@Bahhumbug> :)
13:12 <@Corydon76-home> I had a kid ask me if a parrot ate chicken, would that be cannibalism?  I replied, no more than when you eat beef.
13:12 <@Dolemite> Mmmm...   cannibalism
13:12 <@Dolemite> it's what's for dinner
13:13 <@Corydon76-home> Anyway, for people who joke about eating my rabbits, I reserve the right to feed them dog.
13:13 <@oddball> Human, the other other white meat?
13:13 <@Corydon76-home> Vodka, the other clear beverage.
13:13 <@Bahhumbug> s/them dog/them to a dog/
13:13 <@oddball> shit... Naienko is shooting at me with a Nerf Vulcan.
13:14 <@Dagmar> WTF it's like 1 in the afternoon.  Shoudln't she be in the kitchen making you a sammich?
13:14 <@Bahhumbug> haha
13:14 <@husky> http://owni.eu/2010/12/15/still-life-bent-objects/ sfw
13:14 <@oddball> already did that.
13:15 <@oddball> Oh, and you want to come over here and tell her that?
13:16 <@Dagmar> husky: messed up
13:16 <@Dagmar> In particular http://owni.eu/files/2010/12/bent15.jpg
13:17 <@husky> hehe
13:20 <@oddball> Yes, the caption for that one is great.
13:35 <@Dolemite> Ugh.  I hate that we're busy this weekend moving.  Ober Gatlinburg has 3' of base snow down and it's going to be in the 40s this weekend.  Then again, I'm sure it will be crowded as can be.

14:03 <@oddball> Huh... Wow has decided that my account was hacked and suspended it.

16:06 <@Dagmar> Yeah as far as I can tell
16:07 <@Dagmar> Any time you have view distance maxed, you used to see basically a chunk of noise from a buffer in the distance
16:07 <@Dagmar> Now, somehow, actual chunks are winding up being written there
16:07 <@Dagmar> I've no idea what exactly is causing that one
16:08 <@Dagmar> From some of the bug reports, it appears to be improperly copying map chunks to the wrong place

16:20 <@Dagmar> G510 ordered.  Now awaiting delivery to the service desk by a blue-shirted flunkie
16:21 <@sdodson> what's the utility of such keyboards? Mostly to see who's talking on ventrilo?
16:24 <@Dagmar> I don't have enough keys for all the keybinds I need in WoW.  Seriously.
16:24 <@Dagmar> The Hunter class is brutal like that.
16:25 <@Dagmar> Plus, built in multimedia control buttons, nightlighting, headphone/mic jack and USB muxer built-in
16:25 <@Dagmar> I'm pretty sure they also kept the hardware switch that disables the goddamn windows key, because that's always a big bummer
16:25 <@sdodson> wow = the debil
16:26 <@sdodson> seriously, after i quit just before the first expansion i've never been able to get back into it.
16:26 <@sdodson> mainly because my guild is all like "pshaw, lvl 70 is boring, kthnx bye"
16:27 <@Dagmar> I've got 3 80's, one of which was a deathknigt (so I don't think he really counts) but I can see where the "grind" if you're not interested in backstory and errand-running can bore the crap out of you
16:27 <@Dagmar> I've got a worgen druid I made so I'd have a healer available (eventually).  He's still like level 14.
16:27 <@Dagmar> I look at the night elf lands he's in and just say... "Nah... I'll go do somethin' else"
16:28 <@Dagmar> The game is more fun at max level when you can readily slap the LFD tool to find you a pug group or to fill out the remaining spots in a guild run
16:29 <@Dagmar> Very literally spending less time playing and more time doing the things that are fun
16:29 <@sdodson> grind sucks
16:30 <@sdodson> iliked raiding
16:31 <@Dagmar> 70-80 is doable in about 12-16 hours or so if you're ruthl;ess aobut it
16:31 <@Dagmar> ...and now at least if you don't mind a 15-20 minute wait (generally while you quest around) the LFD tool can find you four other people in the realm who want to do whatever instance will get you (and them) XP
