We have a major planned outage on the 30th here at the lab, so there's no way I can go. 07:26 <@Evilpig> I want to have our main talking schedule filled before June 1 07:27 < AlStrowger> hmmm.... 07:27 < AlStrowger> That is not too aggressive if your review board is up for it. 07:28 <@Evilpig> mainly getting the right folks to agree to speak. but having a schedule that far out for phreaknic will be nearly a first. lol 07:29 <@Evilpig> it will at least be a change from the past few 07:29 <@Dolemite> I think it will be a first 07:29 <@Evilpig> however. we're shooting for the moon this year, right? 07:29 <@Dolemite> The best I ever did was to confirm a few speakers early on, but never had the full set done before August 07:29 < AlStrowger> eeeh Who goes to cons for the talks. I go to see friends and get into arguments with old lovers. 07:30 < Mercster> :| 07:30 <@Evilpig> if you're gonna be at PN this year we might have a little something extra for ya to do too. :D 07:30 <@Dolemite> AlStrowger : The speaking schedule helps to legitimize the activity with spouse / employer ;) 07:30 <@Evilpig> notlarry, myself and corydon are supposed to meet on friday and discuss several things 07:31 < AlStrowger> Dolemite, Oh I understand. 07:31 <@Evilpig> everyone keep it down. notlarry is napping under his desk 07:31 < AlStrowger> Ha. 07:32 <@Evilpig> http://www.delvinfarms.com/CSA_Info.html looking at this and wondering just how much a "share" is 07:32 <@sdodson> Dolemite: you should come 07:33 <@Dolemite> sdodson : I'd love to if it weren't for this pesky work thing 07:33 <@sdodson> AlStrowger: that's brimstone 07:33 <@Dolemite> I may can make it to CC next year 07:33 <@sdodson> Dolemite: whaaaaa hwaaaaaaaaaaa 07:34 < Mercster> Evilpig: a share is "not nearly enough to justify the ridiculous price" 07:34 < AlStrowger> I am a member of CSA here 07:35 <@Evilpig> oh Mercster you know I pay no attention to what you have to say.

I would love to be tainted by some people I went to high school wit 07:38 < AlStrowger> Well the ones I missed anyway. 07:38 <@Dolemite> Of course, when I went to high school, we were full on in the middle of the Big Hair decade. 07:38 <@Dolemite> Class of 1988, represent! 07:39 * Dolemite rummages around for his Members Only jacket 07:39 <@Evilpig> hide your shame Dolemite... hide your shame 07:39 < AlStrowger> Ha 07:41 <@Evilpig> when notlarry wakes up gonna see if I can't get him to draft up our invites to the two high profile folks we are going to try to get to come, that won't. heh 07:42 < AlStrowger> Like who Dan Kaminisky? Heidi or Bruce? Maybe Deviant? 07:42 <@Evilpig> We're thinking higher like maybe a Notch or a Moot 07:42 < AlStrowger> Who is more high profile than the people we already know? 07:43 < Dickie> Or Jesus 07:43 <@Evilpig> we obviously love our high profile regulars. who doesn't love the potters? 07:44 < AlStrowger> I want to start a rumor about Dan Kaminisky. A better one than the true ones that come from Shmoo 07:44 < AlStrowger> I am thinking about starting one that he owes me money 07:45 < Mercster> wait a second 07:45 < Mercster> AlStrowger: are you the guy at phreaknic who looks like you just stepped out of the gay matrix? 07:46 <@Evilpig> That could almost be a T-Shirt... 07:46 < AlStrowger> I think it is a t-shirt. 07:46 < Mercster> damnit! now i know who you are 07:47 < AlStrowger> Yea. I stopped using IRC back in the oughts. 07:47 < Mercster> i was an PN12 07:48 < Mercster> i was the bearded guy who looked like he just crawled out from under a west virginian rock, but that probably describes around 19% of the people i saw there 07:48 < Mercster> i wasnt one of the fat ones 07:48 < AlStrowger> I know who you are 07:48 < Mercster> ahh, yeah, you're from the matrix, right 07:48 < Mercster> of course you do 07:49 <@Dolemite> Al never forgets someone that he wakes up in bed laying next to 07:49 < AlStrowger> I never woke up with Mercster 07:49 < Mercster> i left while he was still sleeping 07:50 < Mercster> ;-) 07:50 < AlStrowger> That is trend. 07:50 < AlStrowger> a* 07:50 < Mercster> hehe 07:50 <@Evilpig> i'd get myself checked out 07:50 < AlStrowger> Hence my fear of abandonment. 07:50 < AlStrowger> Hey! 07:50 < Mercster> Evilpig: why ruin the suspence? 07:50 < Mercster> suspense rather 07:50 <@Evilpig> I don't think asshole is contagious but with mercster anything is possible 07:51 < AlStrowger> Ha! 07:51 < Mercster> Evilpig: clearly you've never had my asshole 07:51 < AlStrowger> Oh please, for all the razzing and disagreeing that sometimes goes on, this is a community of great people. 07:52 < AlStrowger> There are exceptions. Like Weezy. 07:52 <@Evilpig> ...well... i'm great. heh 07:52 <@Bahhumbug> Evilpig: +1 07:58 < Mercster> Al: you obviously have a decent sense of humor, sometimes that's lacking. also, letting people believe how they like without attacking them personally. im disliked here, im not one of the cool kids, cuz my politics are too far right and i say too many clever things; jealousy, envy and all that 07:58 <@Dolemite> jealousy and envy? ROFL. That's a good one. 07:58 <@Bahhumbug> Yep, you figured it out except you left out the constant running of the mouth and channel spam. 07:59 < Mercster> "channel spam" == typing lyrics at 4am in the morning when noone's using the channel anyway? 07:59 < Mercster> sounds like another hyalf-baked convenient reason to shit on somebody you dont like 07:59 < AlStrowger> Trolls 07:59 < AlStrowger> I say! 08:00 < Mercster> AlStrowger: that's another curious phenomenon, anytime you type something that doesnt conform to the groupthink around here, it's considered a troll 08:00 < AlStrowger> And I for one, and happy to live under this bridge. 08:00 < Mercster> people dont even know what "troll" means anymore 08:00 < AlStrowger> I agree 08:00 -!- epoxy_ [~ls3@71-15-26-216.dhcp.hlrg.nc.charter.com] has joined #se2600 08:00 < Mercster> saying something that people dont like isnt trolling 08:00 < AlStrowger> Conceptual creep 08:00 <@Bahhumbug> Mercster: I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but frankly you aren't bright enough to be a troll. 08:00 < Mercster> saying something to intentionally piss people off is trolling 08:00 < Mercster> which i do not do 08:00 < Mercster> ill say something, people dont like it, and suddenly im a troll 08:01 < Mercster> AlStrowger: right 08:01 < Mercster> it's lost any meaning it once had 08:01 < Mercster> now it's just an insult, like someone calling you hitler 08:01 < Mercster> meaningless 08:01 < AlStrowger> Well. 08:01 <@Dolemite> Mercster : You are often purposefully argumentative, when people just want to leave a subject alone.

I was traveling for work about 80% and my mother developed breast cancer. 08:46 <@AlStrowger> So. I recently had to reboot my career and life 08:46 <@Evilpig> you were missed at PN last year. that was for sure. last year was a bad year for alot of folks 08:47 < Todd> s/.*/rehab/ 08:47 < Todd> I kid. 08:49 <@AlStrowger> :( 08:50 < Todd> aww. I'm joking. 08:50 <@AlStrowger> I wish.. If they tried to make me go to rehab.. I would say yes yes yes 08:50 <@AlStrowger> It would be a good vacation 08:51 <@AlStrowger> And I wouldn't have to do laundry. 08:51 < Todd> Cheaper to go on a cruise. 08:51 <@AlStrowger> That could be. 08:51 <@AlStrowger> But you make better connection in rehab 08:51 < Todd> This is true. 09:09 <@Dolemite> Dammit, Pig, you have me looking up local CSA's now, too! 09:13 < ware> wat 09:14 <@Dolemite> community supported agriculture 09:17 <@Evilpig> mmmmm meat 09:17 <@Dolemite> yeah, I just found a meat one here in East TN 09:17 < ware> ahh 09:18 < ware> sounds like a good idea - how do you track the community support 09:18 < ware> so that Evilpig isn't just mooching off of our hard gardening work 09:18 <@Dolemite> wow, $200 for 1/2 cow. that's a lot of meat. 09:18 < ware> or is it a trading coop 09:18 <@Dolemite> oh, wait, that's just the deposit. 09:19 <@Dolemite> but it's $3.6/lb. 09:19 <@Evilpig> ware: you give them money they give you fud 09:19 <@Evilpig> the community is upporting the farm not working it 09:19 <@Dolemite> it's a subscription service for local farms 09:20 <@Dolemite> For example, one I'm looking at gives you 1/2 bushel of whatever is currently being harvested each week for $20. You sign up for 3 months at a time. 09:21 <@Dolemite> The average full grown beef animal should weigh 1000+lbs on the hoof and dress out 09:21 <@Evilpig> this is the one that delivers to vandy directly. http://avalon-acres.com/2011_Spring_Summer_CSA_R1.pdf 09:21 <@Dolemite> to 350-500 lbs cut meat when all is said and done. Half a beef bull/cow should be 09:21 <@Dolemite> enough for the average family as it takes quite a bit of freezer space and comes all at 09:21 <@Dolemite> once. In general, a beef carcass divides up roughly into 15% to 25% steaks, 25% roasts, 09:21 <@Dolemite> 25% to 35% ground beef. In order to keep beef costs down you will be responsible for 09:21 <@Dolemite> two processor fees. The first is $30 and the other is $0.38/lb of hanging weight. The 09:21 <@Dolemite> meat will be available for pick-up in Madisonville, TN. You can visit the farm while you 09:21 <@Dolemite> are out here :). So to do the math: if the animal weighs 800lb live, the hanging weight 09:21 <@Dolemite> will be 600 lb so the cost would be $1800 to the farm and $258 to the butcher making 09:21 <@Dolemite> the total $2058 for a final cost of about $5.25 lb for 390 lbs of meat. You may want to 09:21 <@Dolemite> take half for about $1100. 09:21 <@Dolemite> Evilpig : Tell me that don't make your mouth water! 09:21 <@Evilpig> it does.

Go for it. 12:52 < Mercster> well honestly ive spent the last decade reading *a lot* of wikipedia 12:52 < Mercster> and i know it gets a bad rap, and yeah, some of it is wildly inaccurate 12:53 < Mercster> but if you go to a basic article about something... 12:53 <@AlStrowger> I am not the person to look to for new gadget usage. It took me years to get a smart phone 12:53 < Mercster> say, the fall of the western roman empire 12:53 <@Dickie> I recently bought a Kindle 2, and read Patton Oswalt's book on it. 12:53 < Mercster> it's basically recycled stuff out of other info sources, and it's basically reliable 12:53 <@Dickie> I enjoyed the experience on the whole. 12:53 < Mercster> Dickie: i wonder about kindle vs. nook 12:53 <@AlStrowger> Wikipedia is good at being an ok place to start research 12:53 <@Dickie> But I have a backlog of real books I need to finish. 12:54 <@AlStrowger> I do too Dickie 12:54 < Mercster> AlStrowger: something like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_of_the_Roman_Empire 12:54 < Mercster> long, generally scholarly 12:54 <@Dickie> What I really need is a series of long plane rides. 12:54 <@AlStrowger> So. I keep telling myself that when I get through my backlog I will get a Kindle. 12:54 <@AlStrowger> Ha! 12:55 < Mercster> it's not like reading the justin bieber article and finding hundreds of shit that's useless 12:55 <@AlStrowger> Yea.. I don't wish that on anyone 12:55 <@AlStrowger> I don't hate wikipedia 12:55 < Mercster> nod 12:55 < Mercster> you have a healthy skepticism, which i do too :) 12:55 < Mercster> but a lot of it is actually quite good 12:55 <@AlStrowger> I also don't like how it is run 12:56 < Mercster> yeah amen to that 12:56 < Mercster> ive had a run-in or two with their "editors" 12:56 < Mercster> simpleton jackasses who make it their life's work to shit on everything they see 12:56 < Mercster> ehh, but we wont get into that 12:56 <@AlStrowger> Yea. I think the idea of community is great 12:57 <@AlStrowger> And I do think that Wikipedia built a great technology platform for it... 12:57 <@AlStrowger> But I grimace at there management. 12:57 <@AlStrowger> their* 12:58 < Mercster> well, it seems like most of the pages about current events, or hot-button political issues, and what have you, are the worst ones 12:59 < Mercster> but like the one i pasted, "decline of the roman empire"...you arent going to have many snipers on something like that 12:59 < Mercster> they present a good overview and several scholarly opinions, with decent references 12:59 < Mercster> i.e. boring stuff 12:59 < Mercster> which is what i like reading about anyway 13:02 < Mercster> nothing wrong with opinions, as long as they allow for a full spread, and focus mainly on established fact 13:02 < Mercster> just the facts, ma'am 13:03 < Mercster> i can make up my own mind about most things, keep the editorialization to a minimum 13:04 < Mercster> oh well, off to bed with me and my depressing cancer book 13:04 * Mercster tips his hat 13:04 <@AlStrowger> L8tr 13:04 <@AlStrowger> :) 13:40 <@Dagmar> Are you trying to IMPLY SOMETHING?! 13:42 <@AlStrowger> ? 13:42 <@AlStrowger> Me 13:42 <@AlStrowger> No 13:42 <@AlStrowger> I was saying goodbye 13:43 <@Dagmar> Such cheek! 13:46 <@AlStrowger> Seriously. 13:46 <@AlStrowger> I smiled because I always smile when I say bye to a cute guy. 13:58 <@Dagmar> Okay so now I know for sure which Al I'm dealing with 13:58 <@Dagmar> Sup 13:58 <@Dickie> Oh!
