00:31 < CNwaV> Forgive my ignorance... Mtac?
00:33 <@Evilpig> middle tn anime convention
00:47 < CNwaV> Oh... Something that I would know nothing about.
00:48 < CNwaV> My fav anime is ninja scroll... Which I assume is frowned upon in the community
01:01 <@oddball> Evilpig: if you're still on, I think I know some folks.
01:16 <@Evilpig> yeah I am I just repled to you actually
01:16 <@Evilpig> this bullshit about phreaknic linking to illegal or pirated software is downright insulting
01:17 < CNwaV> Wtf?

01:18 <@Evilpig> trying to do a little phreaknic promoting and one of my posts was removed/moderated and the reason cited was the message contains links to pirated or illegal software
01:18 <@Evilpig> the online link was to phreaknic.info/pn15/
01:18 <@oddball> heh, just replied to the google+ thing. :)
01:19 <@oddball> The only thing I can think of is that the guy looked at it from work where they have antivirus software that blocks Phreaknic's website for "security reasons."
01:19 < CNwaV> Wow...
01:20 < CNwaV> My work doesnt block the pn site, but it does block se2600
01:20 <@Evilpig> opendns blocks se2600 and phreaknic both
01:20 <@Evilpig> i've petitioned to have both removed from the blocks but they keep getting flagged
01:20 <@oddball> I know at least TrendMicro lists the site as evil.
01:21 <@Evilpig> I tried to head that shit off with the email I sent out ahead of time.
01:22 <@Evilpig> and google+ needs a better way to directly message someone.  the chat blows for offline messaging.  and making a post to just one person is kinda silly
01:22 <@Evilpig> I should proabbly use that feedback button, huh?
01:23 <@oddball> Oh, on similar note, the other Hypericon directors had positive reactions to the idea of showing up at PN again.  Don't know if we're going to be able to throw a room party or anything, but a few of us should at least show up.
01:24 <@oddball> oh, hey... didn't notice the phone going off when you sent the message.
01:24 <@Evilpig> Room party, eh... don't care.  come out bring some booze and drink it up with me on 9
01:25 <@Evilpig> depending on how the call goes later today I might have a gigantic announcement to make that will surely entice several people to come.

01:25 <@oddball> Sounds like a plan. :)
01:27 <@oddball> Of course, after Dragoncon I need to seriously start busting ass in attempts to find employment. :/
01:28 <@Evilpig> my friend heather told me I should come down to dragoncon this year.  it would be fun.  
01:28 <@oddball> It's expensive, but worth it.
01:28 <@Evilpig> LOL   Goo Goo Cluster @GooGooClusters is now following you (@vanderbiltnoc). 
01:29 <@oddball> tens of thousands of geeks taking over a good chunk of downtown Atlanta and partying.
01:31 < CNwaV> As if atlanta wasnt crazy enough
01:37 < sync350> I'm thinking about showing up, but I don't have a pass, so I can't really get into any of the events or anything
01:38 <@Evilpig> I know three people in planning roles for the con so getting a pass shoudln't be difficult
01:38 < sync350> Nice
01:41 <@oddball> Really? cool.  Oh, and really the expensive part can be the crash space.  I wouldn't be going this year if Naienko and I were not sharing a room with some folks.
01:42 < sync350> Well it's only like a 30 minute drive when I wanna crash :)
01:43 < CNwaV> Anyone have a vzw network extender?
01:44 <@Evilpig> nope.  hopefully theirs is better than AT&Ts
01:47 < CNwaV> Well they have a couple versions... I need to get ahold of one of the production samsung ones...
01:49 < CNwaV> Erm... Might have to buy one off of amazon
01:50 <@Evilpig> the at&t one has to have a broadband connection but it doesn't do anything with it.  it has to see a tower and then just relays to whatever tower it sees.
01:52 < CNwaV> The vz one actually send over the eth interface
01:53 <@Evilpig> which is what I figured the at&t one would do
01:55 < CNwaV> Yeah, you would... Some of them are just repeaters
01:59 < CNwaV> I always that that if they had eth that it sent the info over that interface...
01:59 < CNwaV> Always thought that

11:13 <@ware> :D
11:17 <@nachoguy> Anyone heard from Dolemite lately?
11:18 <@ware> negative
11:18 <@ware> hes alive on facebook
11:21 <@nachoguy> I'll have to drop him a line and see if he's heading for PN this year
11:22 <@ware> i think he said he was going to http://www.skydogcon.com/ instead
11:23 <@ware> ;)
11:23 <@brimstone> he was going to speak at skydogcon right?
11:24 <@ware> i thought that's what cerkit said
11:31 <@nachoguy> yeah, that seems to be where everyone's going
11:32 <@nachoguy> I heard Obama wanted to make the keynote, but he was turned down becuase Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Al Gore, and Richard Stallman were going to do it as a group
11:32 <@ware> well Jobs backed out due to health problems so I think Obama is still on the list
11:33 <@ware> Santa is supposed to make an appearance but you didn't hear that from me!
11:34 <@nachoguy> I've heard that Jesus was trying to schedule his second coming so he could make an appearance, but you know how paerwork in the vatican goes
11:34 <@ware> ;)

11:40 <@nachoguy> I've been stupid bust the past couple months, but when I managed to get back on, it was a little surprising to not see him here.

11:54 <@vaneck> Ok...has Day's Inn Stadium spoken to anyone regarding PN dates? I just called to make a reservation and they said they were trying to get in touch with the organizers of the event to confirm the dates.
11:55 <@Evilpig> again?
11:55 <@Evilpig> i'll call them now
11:55 <@Evilpig> I swear they can't keep anything fucking straight
11:55 <@vaneck> yes. she took my res but said she would call me back to get cc info
11:56 <@vaneck> it doesn't bother me. i just thought someone on this end should know.
11:56 <@Evilpig> they've got my number as well as notlarry and I haven't heard anything from them.  I swear
11:58 <@vaneck> she said there was a question about changing the dates around football and they were trying to verify. she asked me what the website of the event was. she said she had been trying to find the confirmed date on facebook :)
12:00 <@Evilpig> they have a new booking director...
12:01 <@Evilpig> lamar lost the book with all the info in it.  lord only knows where teh contract is.  he said there wasn't a question on teh date but she was wanting to meet with notlarry and I since she is the new point of contact
12:01 <@vaneck> well i'm supposed to have a room for both nights, looking forward to the con.

18:55 < Vyrus001> yo emergancy status, whos got a cisco acount that will get me latest firmware on a 2950 asap?
18:55 <@brimstone> do you know the latest firmware revision number?
19:07 < Vyrus001> brimstone: no
19:07 < Vyrus001> brimstone: got a real whacky networking issue and need to verify that the switch firm aint the issue
19:11 <@Dagmar> Can you describe it?
19:12 <@Dagmar> Cuz considering Cisco firmware on a switch as being the culprit sounds like a Hail Mary to me
19:14 < Vyrus001> Dagmar: the issue is crazy strange
19:14 <@Bahhumbug> heh, indeed.
19:14 < Vyrus001> i have a system that even after a mobo swap and software reinstall (from winblows to other versions and ubuntu and knoppix)...
19:15 < Vyrus001> sends a syn, but on any tcp traffic to local systems wont rcv a synack
19:15 < Vyrus001> its only some protocalls that dont work and the issue spicificly is tcp and only on one machine of a mixed network
19:15 < Vyrus001> and eveyrthing on the local machine has been swapped out to rule out control
19:15 < Vyrus001> im like 85% sure its the switch
19:16 <@brimstone> swap out the switch?
19:16 <@Dagmar> There's that
19:16 < Vyrus001> dont have one big enough to imidiately swap out
19:16 <@Dagmar> You could also run tcpdump on both ends and see if traffic is going missing
19:16 < Vyrus001> i did
19:16 < Vyrus001> tcp dump and wireshark
19:16 < Vyrus001> never gets there
19:16 < Vyrus001> the packet just never gets fwded
19:16 <@Dagmar> So you have packets that appear exiting machine A and never arrive at machine B?
19:16 < Vyrus001> only specific types of packets yes
19:16 <@Dagmar> ....because it's a _switch_
19:17 <@Dagmar> It's not supposed to even be able to read that level of the protocol
19:17 < Vyrus001> afaik, im inheriting this issue
19:17 < Vyrus001> right i know
19:17 <@Dagmar> Dude, add the -e
19:17 < Vyrus001> but ive had random switches mangle some shit
19:17 <@Dagmar> Dollars to doughnuts if you're seeing that behaviour it's sending to the wrong MAC address
19:17 <@Dagmar> ...which would be plenty of reason for the switch to misroute/lose it
19:17 < Vyrus001> its being the laptop?
19:17 <@Dagmar> They don't generally just affect one particular TCP port
19:18 <@brimstone> Vyrus001: next maintenance window, pull both systems off and try on a simple desktop switch
19:18 < Vyrus001> next window is tonight
19:18 < Vyrus001> shit has to get fixed
19:18 <@brimstone> like now?
19:18 < Vyrus001> yes
19:18 <@brimstone> use a crossover cable then
19:18 < Vyrus001> like its sucking away biz critical time from a co worker
19:19 < Vyrus001> ?
19:19 <@brimstone> pull out the switch, simplify your network topology and try to make it work
19:19 < Vyrus001> cant pull it out till tonight cus everything else would go down but yea
19:19 < Vyrus001> next step
19:20 <@brimstone> if you don't have a cheap little 5/8 port gigabit switch in your lab or toolbox, go out and expense one now
19:20 < Vyrus001> id need a cheep 24 port + but thats the plan
19:20 <@Dagmar> Also... WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!
19:20 <@Dagmar> http://www.newschannel5.com/story/15351997/lawmaker-defends-new-role-as-labor-president
19:20 <@brimstone> 24 ports? i thought this one one system talking to another?
19:21 <@Dagmar> Vyrus001: These machines are using 12 ports apiece?
19:21 <@Dagmar> THat's interesting
19:21 < Vyrus001> Dagmar: heh, no i got you, tonight ill swap the switch
19:21 < Vyrus001> see if that works
19:24 <@Dagmar> I like how that guy actually practically explcitly states "I will speak out in the instances in which my conflict of interest may be in play"
19:39 <@Dagmar> Hehe.  He got to use the "No one expects the Spanish Inquisition."
19:45 < RangerZ> as he should
19:45 < RangerZ> b/c he did the same when he was the head of the fireman's union
19:45 < RangerZ> and b/c thats a mostly republican leaning conservative organization... no one cared
19:46 < RangerZ> but OMG... a Democrat has a job with a Democratic leaning organization...
19:46 < RangerZ> i'm fine with calling out hypocrisy, but be fair about it
19:47 <@Dagmar> The Nashville Fireman's Union is _just_ Nashville, and it's also pretty fucking disinterested in politics
19:47 < RangerZ> Vyrus001: i got a really good 24port off of geeks.com at one point
19:48 < RangerZ> but you probably want a brand name one, and faster
20:25 <@Bahhumbug> Dagmar: that's a huge fucking conflict of interest.
20:26 <@Dagmar> Ah so you may be aware there's a certain faction of folks who are convinced that with as many CAs as we have, certs are rapidly approaching meaningless
20:26 <@Dagmar> Now we have this
20:26 <@Dagmar> http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9219569/Hackers_acquire_Google_certificate_could_hijack_Gmail_accounts
20:26 <@Dagmar> Some Dutch CA issued *.google.com certficates
20:27 <@Evilpig> brimstone: the code for the phreaknic hotel should just be phreaknic.  I have a meeting with the new sales girl in the morning about the confusion.  turns out she has taken over the sales/booking and she is doing things in the computer different than the previous person
20:32 <@Evilpig> lol  http://www.brandsoftheworld.com/logo/goatse-0
20:33 <@Dagmar> I just forwarded that link to IARC/IOPS at work
20:33 <@Dagmar> I have the feeling some managerial-types will be calling meetings tomorrow about it

20:53 < RangerZ> if you think CA's are broken NOW, just wait until PRO-IP gets passed
20:53 <@brimstone> x509 is broken
20:53 < RangerZ> allows copyright owners to claim that a site hosts their content, and then ICE(DHS) will confiscate the site's domain

21:00 <@Evilpig> oh wow.  for anyone that watches warehouse 13...  watch to the very last second 
21:00 <@Dagmar> OKay.
21:01 <@Dagmar> I'm going to have to cross my fingers and hope that's not in th emiddle of the 10-second gap
21:01 <@Dagmar> ...although I have to say updating my MythBuntu build was nice
21:01 <@Dagmar> My recordings seem to have accurate seektables now
21:02 <@Evilpig> right as they went to black before alphas started they dropped a bombshell.

21:24 <@Dagmar> THAT was definitely over the top.  LOL
21:27 < eryc> whats warehouse 13?
21:27 <@Dagmar> A vehicle for staring at a geek girl
21:28 <@Dagmar> http://warehouse13.wikia.com/wiki/Claudia_Donovan > *
21:43 <@Evilpig> Dagmar: you saw the end?
21:43 <@Evilpig> i was amused by Capt Janeway being a regent
21:46 <@Dagmar> Oh that's nothing
21:46 < eryc> so wh13 is a spinoff of eureka?
21:46 <@Dagmar> It's like shemp season on Sci-Fi now
21:46 <@Dagmar> eryc: No, ther'es just some crossover
21:46 <@Dagmar> Guys from Battlestar Galactica, Farscape, etc
21:46 <@Dagmar> It's only a matter of time before Ben Browder shows up on one of those shows
21:47 <@Dagmar> That chick from DS9 was on Torchwood
21:47 <@brimstone> some crossover?
21:48 <@brimstone> if you're anyone in sci-fi, you've been on eureka or warehouse13
21:48 <@Dagmar> heh just aobut
21:51 < RangerZ> because there isn't ANY other good sci-fi (fuck SyFY) shows on
21:51 <@brimstone> alphas is ok
21:51 < RangerZ> true
21:51 <@brimstone> not super great mind you, but watchable
21:51 <@brimstone> (get it? super great...)
21:51 < RangerZ> but let it get to 3/4 of a season, and it'll get cancelled :(
21:52 <@brimstone> that's how you know it's good :)
21:53 < RangerZ> actually we need another star trek, there were a couple fan-done episodes that were up to pilot episode quality
21:53 < RangerZ> but... to go with the new timeline or old...
21:54 <@brimstone> SG:U was ok
21:55 < RangerZ> as was babylon 5's spinoff
21:55 < RangerZ> which got killed even quicker
21:56 <@Dagmar> I dont' even remember them having a spinoff
21:56 < RangerZ> Dresden Files is another one (more magical), but still a really good show, (better book series, up to book 13)
21:56 <@Dagmar> The show was wrong.
21:56 <@brimstone> man, if the relationship counselor on Eureka ever says inconceivable...
21:56 < RangerZ> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excalibur_(Crusade)
21:57 <@Dagmar> There was something entirely too 90120-ish about the show
21:58 <@Dagmar> Oh now I remember that show
21:58 <@Dagmar> I just thought they retitled Babylon 5 and kept going
22:01 < RangerZ> they were finally getting more into the technomages
22:01 < RangerZ> which is a good story in itself
22:03 < RangerZ> i think http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_New_Frontier is some of the best star trek i've read
22:04 < RangerZ> but... its too much for a TV show, unless you make a single book an entire season or two per season
22:04 < RangerZ> though... the X-Men/Star Trek crossover was a fun read ;)
22:10 <@Evilpig> brimstone: he said it last week
22:11 <@brimstone> did he!?
22:11 <@brimstone> i'll rewatch it then
22:11 <@Evilpig> i'd swear he did.
22:11 <@Evilpig> I was watching and chuckling when he came on
22:12 <@Evilpig> I could have dreamed it though.  with the little sleep i'm getting I am having some  pretty lucid daydreams
22:12 <@dasunt> I had the weirdest day at work this Monday.
22:12 <@dasunt> Which is saying something.
22:12 <@Dagmar> Are you responsible for anything near SSL certficates?
22:12 <@dasunt> First was the server that could not fail.
22:12 <@dasunt> It's a server we colo.
22:12 <@dasunt> And I use the term "colo" very loosely.
22:13 <@Dagmar> OKay so maybe your Tuesday won't be "meeting hell"
22:13 <@dasunt> Anyways, it wasn't working, and it had a failing drive.
22:13 <@dasunt> I told the client this, and she told me she didn't want to repair it.
22:13 <@dasunt> So find something else that was causing the problem.
22:13 <@dasunt> After rebooting it a half dozen times, it may or may not be working.
22:13 <@dasunt> But hey, we skipped the $200 to replace the drive fee.
22:13 <@Dagmar> She's used to Geek Squad people apparently
22:14 <@dasunt> So by lunch, my brain had said "I'm out of here", and disengaged itself in a desparate attempt to stay sane.
22:14 <@dasunt> Which is when my coworker booted up a computer a client brought to us.
22:14 <@dasunt> This is a business client.
22:14 <@dasunt> She can't use a specific website.
22:14 <@dasunt> The computer boots up.
22:14 <@Dagmar> Here's a moment of zen for you then: http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fyr9423apz7uk.break.com%2Fdnet%2Fmedia%2F2011%2F8%2F29%2F2712c60f-f59d-4c05-9943-09fe699711c6_1.mp4&h=UAQCLgc4wAQA-7r3HFDeEiJUUGOcBCtxm9Q2DafEANLf8UA
22:14 <@dasunt> It has anime catgirls as the desktop wallpaper.
22:14 <@Dagmar> Actually http://yR9423APZ7uK.break.com/dnet/media/2011/8/29/2712c60f-f59d-4c05-9943-09fe699711c6_1.mp4
22:15 <@Dagmar> Fucking facebook link tracker bullshit
22:15 <@dasunt> I think "this has to be her 16 year old's son's machine".
22:15 <@dasunt> So I check the internet history.
22:15 <@Dagmar> A lolicon regular?
22:15 <@dasunt> There's facebook listed.  So I click it.  Nope, it's the 35 year old woman who brought the computer in.
22:15 <@dasunt> Anyways, on to the website that doesn't work.  it has an innocent sounding name.  I type it in.
22:16 <@dasunt> It's an erotic chat site.
22:16 <@dasunt> WTF?
22:16 <@dasunt> Back to the internet history.  Because this must be some sort of mixup.
22:16 <@dasunt> I'm wrong.
22:16 < RangerZ> was she cute?
22:16 <@dasunt> She's a swinger.  And obviously very open about it, since she doesn't mind bringing a computer in under her business name and telling us an erotic chat site doesn't work.
22:17 <@dasunt> RangerZ: Supposedly (I didn't meet her), she has a voice of a 13 year old girl.
22:17 < RangerZ> nice
22:17 <@dasunt> But hey, since I looked at what she was doing, if you have some time and your in Minnesota, she's game for group sex.  Hopefully you can stick around for as long as the photographer wants.
22:18 <@dasunt> I keep telling myself that somehow, other jobs can't be this surreal.
22:18 < RangerZ> nah... i could never get used to saying "mina-soda"
22:19 <@dasunt> Don't you want group sex with 35 year old swingers?
22:19 < RangerZ> why would i travel to get that, i could probably get that in nashville
22:19 < RangerZ> i've seen how pre-cougars dress around here
22:19 <@dasunt> The ones up here have all their teeth.  :p
22:20 < RangerZ> ohh... trust me, i worked phone tech support at a networking company providing support for hotel guests... yes ... other jobs are as surreal as yours
22:20 <@Evilpig> I always had fun when people had me fix their computers.  the one that was creepy was the 60yr old gay dude that liked to cam with other guys.
22:21 <@dasunt> Oh, we had a pedophile.
22:21 <@dasunt> Or not.
22:21 <@dasunt> According to him, it was someone in the house he was renting, who was sharing his wireless, and gave him the computer when he left.
22:21 <@dasunt> But he's going to prison for a few years.
22:21 <@Evilpig> oh dear
22:21 < RangerZ> though i think my personal favorite time was when i quieted the ENTIRE call center, and every single person put their call on hold and just stared at me in disbelief... when I told the guest I was talking to that Sun Spots could be causing interference with his wireless connection...hehe
22:22 <@Evilpig> haha
22:22 <@dasunt> RangerZ: Supposedly, talking to someone who worked for Best Buy around here, it was normal for the helldesk & support guys to signal when they got an interesting call.
22:22 < RangerZ> we did too
22:23 <@dasunt> Best one I heard was the one where the support guy was doing appliance support, and said "If you are smelling gas, get off the phone and leave the house."
22:23  * dasunt learned that supposedly, when some people smell gas from a new gas range, they call warranty support instead.
22:23 <@Evilpig> one of the funniest I had was a secretary we had at the time.  she brought her computer in cause it was messing up and she would NOT leave it alone with me.  she hovered constantly while I worked on it.  so while the antivirus / anti-spywre was doing their thing I connected to it from another machine in my shop and cloned the drive.  figured out what she was trying to keep me from seeing.  lol
22:24 <@dasunt> Hey, I'm happy that the swinger is so secure that she doesn't mind us learning about her sexuality.
22:24 <@dasunt> I'm just a tad confused why she'd do it under her business name.
22:24 <@brimstone> "secure"
22:24 < RangerZ> secure in herself
22:24 < RangerZ> i think he meant
22:24 <@dasunt> Yah, she had viruses.
22:24 <@dasunt> My coworker kept mentioning "got to call her, wipe & reload, don't need to check out the computer anymore"
22:24 < RangerZ> i had a friend who was a pro-dominatrix
22:24 <@dasunt> He's young.
22:24 <@dasunt> Weird kinky sex pictures affect him more.
22:25 < RangerZ> most cities of over 50~100,000 people have a decently big kink scene
22:25 <@dasunt> It's a shame he wasn't working their when we had the guy bring in his computer where the screen saver was random photos from his picture cache.  Including somne of him being lead around by a string tied to his cock.
22:25 <@Evilpig> lol
22:25 < RangerZ> man... she told me this one story that is perfectly SFW, but is hilarious... a guy came over to her house, and paid her 400$ cash to have her tie him up and torture him for the night
22:26 -!- sync350 [~sync@c-24-30-84-138.hsd1.ga.comcast.net] has quit [Quit: This computer has gone to sleep]
22:26 < RangerZ> so she tied him up and left him in there for 2 hours, then alternated reading him Little Women and leaving him alone
22:26 < RangerZ> apparently he was crying, and begging to be beat instead, b/c he couldn't take the reading
22:26 < RangerZ> LOL
22:31 <@dasunt> Heh.
22:31 <@dasunt> Y'know, its stories like these that make me want to go back to school for engineering.
22:33 <@dasunt> Not so much the Swinger.
22:33 <@dasunt> That's cool.
22:33 <@dasunt> Not my thing, but cool.
22:33 < RangerZ> it was sad that per month she made more money then I made a year... And She never slept with them... which was the oddest thing to me.. but w/e
22:33 <@dasunt> Just the whole "your drive is failing.  It could be the cause of this problem, it could not be, but without replacing the drive, we can't tell.  Replacing the drive now is $200, but if the drive fails, you're looking at thousands for data recovery."  "Oh.  Could you retry rebooting the server again?"
22:34 < RangerZ> dasunt: i was talking to the comcast guy who installed my cable, and he was telling me that I could pay 250$ or setup comcast's free wifi router if i just have it sent here
22:35 < RangerZ> and most people in a certain suburb of nashville just pay
22:35 < RangerZ> b/c it isn't worth their time
22:35 <@dasunt> Well, obviously a home DSL wifi router isn't the same as a mission critical server.
22:35 < RangerZ> to MOST people it is
22:35 < RangerZ> shouldn't be.... i agree
22:35 <@dasunt> I deal with crazy people.
22:35 < RangerZ> it is a magic black box
22:35 <@dasunt> Speaking of which, the parking lot is clearly striped outside.
22:35 <@Evilpig> when I had my comcast setup they wouldn't let me set it up myself.  I was pissed
22:36 <@dasunt> We had it repainted this year.
22:36 <@dasunt> Y'know how many people obviously screw up their parking?
22:36 <@dasunt> Not the whole "I'm lazy, I'll park near the door".
22:36 <@dasunt> But "I can't figure out what the striped lines are.  I'll park in the traffic lane."
22:36 <@dasunt> I don't get it.
22:37 <@dasunt> I want to ask them how they manage to feed themselves.
22:37 < RangerZ> http://www.youparklikeanasshole.com/give-a-notice/give-a-notice.php
22:38 <@dasunt> I think my job proves the existence of a higher power.  One that likes idiots.
22:38 < RangerZ> Evilpig: it was once they setup the cable modem
22:38 < RangerZ> but the router i could setup myself later
22:38 < eryc> http://blog.mozilla.com/security/2011/08/29/fraudulent-google-com-certificate/   http://pastebin.com/ff7Yg663
22:39 <@Evilpig> my modem and router are the same box cause of the business class
22:39 <@dasunt> Every day at my job, my neurons ask me why the hell they having given up.
22:39 < RangerZ> ahh, i got the 20Mb and cable, and phone... for 89/month
22:39 < RangerZ> b/c of my 27/month prepaid virgin mobile phone
22:39 <@Dagmar> Excellent news, that
22:40 < RangerZ> as a "competitor" internet service
22:40 <@Evilpig> RangerZ: I had to do business service to get a static ip
22:40 < RangerZ> i kinda laughed at it, and it only lasts a year, but i have a feeling it will be like back home... best bet is just to switch ISP every year, and become a "new" customer
22:40 <@Evilpig> plus the no download cap is a perk
22:41 < RangerZ> that is nice
22:41 <@Evilpig> I can blow through 200gb without blinking most months
22:42 < RangerZ> i _could_ but i don't do much online anymore
22:42 < RangerZ> if i start needing it for vandy research...
22:42 < RangerZ> i'll have to do it

22:47 < CNwaV> Would be cool if someone bought a ton and did some classes with them at pn... Hint, hint
22:48 <@Evilpig> let me know if you find someone with a budget for fun stuff like that!
22:48 <@dasunt> In other news at work, us coworkers are trading anti-depressants now.
22:49 < CNwaV> Maybe we could get ti to donate them... You can only buy two... But they are pretty much giving them away... Maybe they would donate some
22:52 <@Evilpig> can always ask.
22:52 < CNwaV> It never hurts
22:52 <@Evilpig> think I might goto steak and shake  tonight.  or just try to go back to sleep

22:56 <@Evilpig> i normally get a double and fries for $4

23:31 < CNwaV> Hi, bye.
23:31 <@dasunt> Y'know, my sister, who works at a nursing home, gets upset because some of the old folks smoke pot.
23:31 <@dasunt> She needs to work in IT.
23:31 < CNwaV> Why does that upsey her?
23:31 <@dasunt> Although, I have to say, the mennonite who threatened to kill his wife does trump a lot of my stories.
23:32 < CNwaV> If you are at the point where you live in a home... Why does it matter if you smoke pot?
23:32 <@dasunt> I'm not sure how the hell you can have guns in your household, tell a cop how exactly you're planning to kill your wife, and not get arrested.
23:32 <@dasunt> CNwaV: That's my take on it.  You're 60+.  Who cares?
23:33 < CNwaV> I should start smoking pot again... Would be nice to be able to sleep again
23:36 < CNwaV> Its not like it could be any worse than the cocktail of meds that the doctors have me on.
23:39 < CNwaV> I am so offended by this episode of southpark....
23:42 <@brimstone> isn't that the point?
23:42 < CNwaV> It is the scientology episode...
23:43 < CNwaV> Im not offended that they are making fun of scientology.... I am offended by the fact that people are stupid enough to believe in scientology... It just reminds me that we are doomed
23:48 < CNwaV> Dear sailor jerry... I love you.
23:54 <@Evilpig> that episode made me laugh
23:54 <@Evilpig> pretty much anytime they make fun of tom cruise I laugh
23:55 < CNwaV> He deserves it these days... Good actor, but bat shit crazy
