00:35 <@Evilpig> god damned comcast and their weekly tests that are daily
00:35 <@Evilpig> tv just went quiet I heard a voice say "we good?"  sounded just like a dead friend of mine and creeped me the fuck out
00:38 <@Bahhumbug> yay for tornadic activity at the end of Jan.
00:46 <@Evilpig> hey a REAL alert from comcrap
00:47 <@Evilpig> a tornado warning
00:47 <@Dagmar> Global whatting?
00:48 <@Evilpig> http://www.srh.noaa.gov/hazards/?wfo=ohx
00:49 <@Dagmar> Blech
00:54 <@Dagmar> Yeah the animated radar is not making me happy
00:55 <@Evilpig> I'm debating on if I should start writing these sql queries now or call it done for today
00:55 <@Evilpig> http://blueboy.wilpig.org/~wilbur/dev/spyder/  made decent progress.  got all the user ids mapped to what they need to be.  all board ids mapped to what I think they should be
00:56 <@Evilpig> just have ot deal with the attachment issue then I should be able to send him his server back and do a near realtime cutover from his "backup" to his original with all the content getting merged
01:00 <@Dagmar> Sheet.
01:01 <@Dagmar> Here it comes in spades
01:02 <@Dagmar> Pardon while I go cable my scooter to my car
01:02 <@Evilpig> lol
01:03 <@Evilpig> I should probably go shut the deck door
01:03 <@Bahhumbug> mother fucking alert system :(
01:03 <@Dagmar> I can hear the CD sirens in West Nashville
01:04 <@Bahhumbug> wonderful.  useless alert test woke up the wife.
01:04 <@Dagmar> Uh...
01:05 <@Dagmar> I woulnd't call it useless tonight
01:05 <@Bahhumbug> it's the emergency alert system, it's got nothing at all to do with weather alerts.
01:05 <@Dagmar> How do you figure that?
01:05 <@Bahhumbug> it's loud and stupidly obnoxious at 0105.
01:06 <@Dagmar> Know what else is loud and stupidly obnoxious at 0105?
01:06 <@Dagmar> Tornadoes ripping your shit up.
01:06 <@Bahhumbug> Because it's, to this day, not used for public alerts for dangerous weather or conditions.  It's still a remnant of the cold war.
01:06 <@Dagmar> How high are you right now?
01:06 <@Dagmar> http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=OHX&product=NCR&overlay=11101111&loop=yes
01:07 <@Bahhumbug> I will repeat.  The EAS has _nothing_ do with with weather issues.  It has never been used for such, it can not be used for such.
01:07 <@Evilpig> that's just a little rain.  nothing to be worried about
01:07 <@Dagmar> Since the tornadoes decided to frolic all through downtown that year, they've been making sure the sirens work and they turn them on when there's tornadoes coming
01:07 <@Bahhumbug> The sirens aren't part of the EAS system.
01:08 <@Dagmar> No, they're not.
01:08 <@Dagmar> As to EAS not being used for that, you'd be wrong there, too
01:08 <@Bahhumbug> Sigh, channel 4's gone.
01:08 <@Bahhumbug> If you say so.
01:08 <@Dagmar> I know so becuase it used to break in during my freaking broadcasts at 91.
01:08 <@Dagmar> Annoyed the holy piss out of me
01:08 <@Evilpig> TORNADO WARNING
01:08 <@Evilpig> TNC021-037-043-081-187-230730-
01:08 <@Evilpig> /O.NEW.KOHX.TO.W.0008.120123T0653Z-120123T0730Z/
01:08 <@Evilpig> BULLETIN - EAS ACTIVATION REQUESTED
01:08 <@Evilpig> TORNADO WARNING
01:08 <@Evilpig> NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN
01:08 <@Evilpig> 1253 AM CST MON JAN 23 2012
01:08 <@Dagmar> We have tornadoes inbound
01:09 <@Evilpig> national weather service did request for the eas.  obviously they don't have to comply but they do in the public interest
01:09 <@Dagmar> Pretty much
01:09 <@Bahhumbug> Hmm.
01:09 <@Dagmar> Many times I have heard EAS go off to tell people "TORNADOES ARE IN YOUR AREA.  DUCK AND COVER, BISHES."
01:09 <@Bahhumbug> That doesn't jive with anything I've ever read or heard about the EAS.
01:10 <@Evilpig> there it is in print straight from the weather service
01:10 <@Bahhumbug> Are we talking about the same EAS?
01:10 <@Evilpig> the emergency alert system?
01:10 <@Evilpig> can be national, regional, local depending on the type of alert?
01:10 <@Dagmar> The thing that goes "BRAAAAAP-BRRAAAAP-BRRAAAAAAp-KCHCHCHC-BRAAAP This is a test of the Emergency Alert System..."
01:10 <@Bahhumbug> The tests that used to say "If this had been a real emergency you would have been instructed to tune to news in your area for further information."?
01:10 <@Evilpig> yup that's the thing
01:11 <@Dagmar> Yes, they used to just go "BEEP" and then say it
01:11 <@Dagmar> THey switched over to the more automated system here in like 99, 98 somewhere around in there
01:11 <@Bahhumbug> They never say anything.  Just black screen, text and obnoxious beep sequence.
01:11 <@Bahhumbug> Weird.
01:11 <@Bahhumbug> I apologize.
01:11 <@Dagmar> Until then, every station had some poor schmuck just hitting the test ack
01:11 <@Bahhumbug> I'm quite obviously wrong.
01:12 <@Bahhumbug> Better question is where the fuck did channel 4 go?
01:12 <@Dagmar> You don't generally hear it on major stations because for testing they just require the stations do it sometime in the next 24 hours.
01:12 <@Dagmar> When the system went automated, 91 didn't have control over it anymore.
01:12 <@Bahhumbug> neat
01:12 <@Dagmar> Or at least, the DJs didn't.  When the test system went off, it would take over the transmitter
01:12 <@Bahhumbug> cable box says EAS
01:12 <@Bahhumbug> and nothing works on it.
01:13 <@Bahhumbug> I've never seen this before.
01:13 <@Dagmar> AFAIK that BRAAAAP thing is actually low-speed encoding of the announcement text to follow
01:13 <@Bahhumbug> Do they do this for the entire market or do they have finer-grained location control on it?
01:13 <@Dagmar> It is, and you will not really hear me say this elsewhere, hideously open.
01:13 <@Bahhumbug> Meaning am I getting this because of BNA area issues?  Or is this something I should be concerned with here?
01:13 <@Evilpig> it's the entire region right now
01:14 <@Evilpig> alabama to KY
01:14 <@Bahhumbug> Meh
01:14 <@Dagmar> Bahhumbug: The expectation is that generally where it might matter, there's going to be people smart enough to make the decision to override or not
01:14 <@Bahhumbug> rain just hit here, and I've got a hook heading straight for me.
01:14 <@Dagmar> If they don't postpone it, and it matches the area, it goes out
01:14 <@Bahhumbug> I just love TN.
01:14 <@Bahhumbug> (this shit doesn't happen in chicago :( )
01:15 <@Dagmar> Well, it didn't _used_ to happen here
01:15 <@Bahhumbug> this EAS shit is fucking stupid.
01:15 <@Dagmar> This is the only winter I know of here where we've had fucking tornadoes
01:15 <@Bahhumbug> the box is locked on a black screen
01:15 <@Bahhumbug> with no audio/video
01:15 <@Dagmar> Bahhumbug: Comcast may have boned it
01:15 <@Dagmar> Anyone suprised by that concept?  No?
01:15 <@Dagmar> Bahhumbug: How long ago did you move here?
01:16 <@Bahhumbug> this is charter
01:16 <@Bahhumbug> been here since '00
01:16 <@Dagmar> Ah... You missed the really epic stuff from the last half of the 90's then
01:16 <@Bahhumbug> and since then have seen more shitty weather than the 34 years I spent in chicago by a factor or 4 or 5, easily.
01:16 <@Dagmar> Haahah
01:16 <@Bahhumbug> yeah, missed the downtown twister.
01:16 <@Dagmar> You missed our return to the 1800's for a week as well
01:17 <@Bahhumbug> this is FUCKING STUPID
01:17 <@Dagmar> I would LIKE to say that the may floods were a fluke
01:17 <@Bahhumbug> EAS == retarded bullshit
01:17 <@Bahhumbug> no news?
01:17 <@Bahhumbug> no radar?
01:17 <@Bahhumbug> fuck you, charter.
01:17 <@Bahhumbug> (and my scanner's out in the fucking car)
01:17 <@Dagmar> Well, Davidson County is about to get *walloped8
01:21 <@Bahhumbug> I just can't get past how idiotic this is.
01:21 <@Bahhumbug> I know this is charter's fault.
01:23 <@Dagmar> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaqC5FnvAEc
01:26 <@Bahhumbug> fuck you very much, charter.
01:26 <@Bahhumbug> rip out cable box, plug cable into TV, and looky there.  it works.
01:27 <@Bahhumbug> looks like most will be missing me from what I'm seeing.
01:27 <@Bahhumbug> can't say the same for where you folks are at.
01:28 <@Evilpig> Bahhumbug: that still works here.  you just get dick for content
01:28 <@Evilpig> fucking asshole comcast
01:28 <@Bahhumbug> yeah, I'm pretty miffed at charter at the moment.  for lack of anyone else to be pissed off at.
01:28 <@Evilpig> I don't mind the box, entirely, for HD content.  I loathe all cables boxes that dont' let me tell it to skip channels by default
01:28 <@Bahhumbug> I will be talking to someone about this tomorrow.
01:29 <@Bahhumbug> if you're going into "EAS mode", then be useful and give me information.  otherwise you are placing people at risk.

01:30 <@Bahhumbug> meh, I was wrong.  still got bad stuff heading this way.
01:33 <@Dagmar> I just went outside
01:33 <@Dagmar> Wish I hadn't done that
01:34 <@Dagmar> The worst part of that storm is in fact pretty bad
01:37 <@Evilpig> i'm about to head out for dinner
01:39 <@Dagmar> >50mph winds kicked in as I stepped out of the lee of the building
01:40 <@Evilpig> guess I should go get a shower
01:40 <@Dagmar> You can probably handle both things at the same time right now if you hurry
01:40 <@Dagmar> Just run out there with some soap
01:41 <@Evilpig> i'm not worried.  I've driven through tornados before.  got some hilarious close call stories too
01:41 <@Evilpig> well hilarious now.  damnit I just crapped myself at the time
01:42 <@Bahhumbug> we had a tornado clip the tail of of the property I'm living at now a few years back, EF2 or 3 (think it was a 2, though).
01:42 <@Bahhumbug> heard it.  does indeed sound like a freight train.
01:42 <@Bahhumbug> helped people clean up the broken rubble of their homes and look in their fields for anything salvagable.
01:43 <@Bahhumbug> I don't care to see that ever again.
01:43 <@Evilpig> the last one I was in I was in a school when it went on lock down
01:44 <@Evilpig> the storm was coming and they were going to try to get the kids out early but it picked up speed and building went to lockdown.  it was freaky.  had alot of fun messing with the kid's heads though
01:44 <@Bahhumbug> Chicago proper is pretty much isolated from this type of weather behavior; outlying counties get it, but Chicago itself is generally safe.  In all the years I was there there was one repotrde twister although the NWS never certified it as such (roofs were blown miles away, trees twster like toothpicks, etc).
01:44 <@Bahhumbug> But that was it.
01:44 <@Evilpig> back in a bit.  getting clean so I can go get dinner
01:44 <@Bahhumbug> I dislike this type of weather.  Dsilike it greatly.  It scares me and I dislike being scared.
01:50 <@Dagmar> Take it as a good thing that you're scared.
01:50 <@Dagmar> You can't be scared if it's killed you.
01:50 <@Dagmar> So as long as you're scared, you're not dea.
01:50 <@Dagmar> d
01:51 <@Dagmar> LOL Start Trek Online apparently went FTP on Friday
01:51 <@Bahhumbug> jesus.
01:51 <@Bahhumbug> fucking charter
02:08 <@Bahhumbug> Dagmar: heh, true.
02:08 <@Bahhumbug> wife grew up here (across the road from where I'm at now, actually), this weather doesn't do much for her.
02:08 <@Bahhumbug> I'm the paranoid one.
03:55 <@Evilpig> oh HP.  I hope you read the responses in your user experince surveys
03:55 <@Evilpig> "What one thing would you change about this process that would make it better?"
03:56 <@Evilpig> I went on about how when I asked for a supervisor or to be escalated to the next tier of support I was repeatedly hung up on or put on hold until the system disconnected me to the point that if I could have reached through the phone I would have gladly caused an international incident.
04:12 <@Bahhumbug> heh
04:12 <@Evilpig> I also said that the part dispatchers and case managers are NOT managers over the call center drones
04:17 <@Catonic> .
04:17 <@Catonic> it'd be nice if AT&T ever made a shelter where you coul drive a vehicle in

19:12 <@brimstone> let's see if Dagmar's awake
19:12 <@brimstone> http://news.cnet.com/8301-31921_3-57364330-281/judge-americans-can-be-forced-to-decrypt-their-laptops/
19:18 <@Bahhumbug> I don't see this as surprising.  Cops can get a warrant to a safety deposit box, warrant to pull phone, credit travel, etc records.  This is in the same general light as that.
19:21 <@Evilpig> it is.  just goes on tot saythat if you can't decrypt it they can't hold it against you.  so keep the key to your HD on somethign that can easily break and don't use a password
19:24 <@brimstone> but they can't get a warrant to read the password from your mind
19:24 <@brimstone> or make you expose it if it's there
19:25 <@Evilpig> it goes on to tsay they can force you to type the password or face contempt of court
19:25 <@Evilpig> you don't have to write it down but they can legally force you to type it without anyone watching over your shoulder
19:28 <@Dagmar> So in *theory* my Google+ profile will become magically unbanned soon.
19:28 <@Dagmar> ...but I'll believe that shit when I see it.
19:28 <@Dagmar> THere's quite a bit of double-speak in today's announcement.

19:29 <@Dagmar> brimstone: I don't give a flying fuck what one judge says
19:29 <@Dagmar> THey can have my passwords when they pry them from my cold, dead hands.
19:29 <@Dagmar> Until then they can just spend some fucking money on brute force solutions to the crypto.
19:30 <@Dagmar> All those other precedents Bahhumbug cites _don't involve the defendant incriminating themselves_.
19:30 <@Dagmar> You've got a 5th Amendment right to say "Fuck no" when it comes to participating in an investigation against yourself.
19:32 <@Dagmar> You can also follow in the footsteps of a long history of defendants brought before both Congress and the Supreme Court and say "At the moment, it escapes me."
19:32 <@Dagmar> "I'm afraid I don't know the answer to that question."
19:33 <@Dagmar> "I think I left it in my other Constitutional Rights."
19:34 <@Bahhumbug> cryto is a grey area due to the fact that, in theory, only you know the cryto key/phrase to get in.  anything else the gvmt can just supeona or get a due process warrant for.
19:34 <@Bahhumbug> sigh, crypto.  I really do know how to spell :(
19:34 <@Dagmar> Either way, they're effectively asking you to answer statements that may be incriminating of yourself.
19:34 <@Dagmar> Fuck that.
19:35 <@Dagmar> If they can't decrypt it, they can't "find" evidence
19:35 <@Dagmar> There's also the small matter of if they've taken my shit out of my sight, it's circular bin fodder.
19:35 <@Dagmar> It's next stop will be Best Buy for proper recycling.
19:44 <@Evilpig> translation? http://www.explosm.net/comics/2684/
19:46 <@Bahhumbug> Dagmar: I do agree with you on that.  But I do see this case as precedent setting and unlikely to get overturned.  Not with the way the current US supreme court has been ruling of late.

20:05 <@Dagmar> Bahhumbug: They're using a really shit case to try and set this precedent, because they've got something specific they're pretty sure she's guilty of or they wouldn't be bothering
20:05 <@Bahhumbug> To be quite fair I've not read the article so I'm unaware of the background of the specific case involved here.
20:05 <@Dagmar> In the case of someone like me, there's just no way in hell they'd have any legitimate reason to suspect anything, so they'd be _fucked_ for trying to use that precedent.
20:05 <@Dagmar> Bitch was doing mortgage scams apparently.
20:06 <@Bahhumbug> Oh?
20:06 <@Bahhumbug> Hang her from the nearest pole and be done with it if she's quilty.
20:06 <@Dagmar> Those sorts of precedents tend to fall to pieces the moment they try to use them against someone who they had zero actual dirt on.
20:08 <@Bahhumbug> I leave it to others to risk.

20:12 <@Evilpig> well damnit.  I left my hard drive at home tonight

20:59 <@Dagmar> In other news I'm just beside myself that the gestapo at BNA almost arrested Mr. Paul
20:59 <@Dagmar> Probably the only reason they didn't is because someone wasn't so totally stupid as to ignore that he was dealing with a senator of some stripe

21:03 <@Dagmar> I didn't know black people could blush.
21:03 <@Dagmar> Corydon76-home: POinty things and also it's _ruuuuude_
21:04 <@Corydon76-home> Yep
21:04 <@Dagmar> PLus there's people like me running loose
21:04 <@Dagmar> hehe
21:04 <@Corydon76-home> It's a good way to get a small touch of whatever drug is in the end of a syringe injected into a fingertip
21:04 <@Dagmar> You could catch teh gay!
21:05 <@Dagmar> ...or Chronic Recurring Conservativism!
21:05 <@Dagmar> ...or you might learn not to shove your hands into other people's pockets.

21:07 <@Dagmar> I think I set a new personal record for conflating syntax today.
21:07 <@Dagmar> Trying to write perl and I wound up using visual basic, tcl, C, and bash functions
21:07 <@Bahhumbug> dude... wtf is wrong with you? :)

21:08 <@Dagmar> TOO MANY LANGUAGES in MAH HEAD
21:08 <@Bahhumbug> haha
21:08 <@Dagmar> If the dots woudln't have been really glaringly obvious I'd have probably wound up with some Java in there too
21:08 <@Dagmar> This the _real_ reason I hesitate to mess with python and ruby
21:08 <@Dagmar> especially python
21:10 <@Bahhumbug> ruby needs to die a death of 1000 cuts.
21:10 <@Bahhumbug> brought back to life
21:10 <@Bahhumbug> repeat until bored.
21:13 <@Evilpig> how fucking hard is it to change a god damn IP you clueless fucking MORONS!?
21:14 <@Bahhumbug> depends on the platform.
21:16 <@Evilpig> this is the second time i've told someone in this channel...  just set the IP back and that person just won't or can't
21:17 <@Bahhumbug> hmm
21:18 <@Evilpig> went through the proper procedure of getting the networking folks to change the reservation for this machine twice now and the lease gets removed for different reasons.  gave up on them so I just set the IP to what it shoudl be when the machine reboots
21:19 <@Evilpig> someone in here called me the other ngiht and said " the ip changed again"  to which I said "just set it back"  there is even an ipconfig dump on the desktop to fix it
21:20 <@Evilpig> i'm now to the point of getting a powershell script to do it
21:23 <@Bahhumbug> I also considered that people in a 2600-related channel would have some technical acumen.
21:23 <@Bahhumbug> err, a/also/always/
21:23 <@Dickie> I'm mostly retarded
21:24 <@Evilpig> oh this person does.  he just likes to do shit like this cause he knows it irritates me
21:24 <@Evilpig> plus the SOP around here is as little effort as necessary to make it seem as if you've done the job
21:24 <@Dagmar> IP addresses change?
21:24 <@Dagmar> I'd ask them what it changed into nex time.
21:25 <@Dagmar> It might have changed into a beyoootiful unicorn.
21:29 <@Evilpig> now I have the script setup.  just to make it autorun after bootup with a 5 min delay cause that is about how long it takes for the DHCP server to be an ass and flop it.  don't ask me why
21:33 <@Dagmar> Which DHCP server?
21:33 <@Dagmar> If you're going to say "dip-dhcp1" make a magic ticket, put the MAC and IP in it, and assign it to me
21:34 <@Dagmar> I'll "fix" it.
21:34 <@Dagmar> NOC IPs aren't supposed to change around like that afaik
21:34 <@Evilpig> no idea.  mirage fixed it and nd&e removed it saying we didnt' give them the mac which was in the ticket and I know he put it in
21:35 <@Evilpig> after they "fixed" it again and it didn't stick I said fuck it.  rafiq and I just change the IP when it reboots
21:36 <@Bahhumbug> I couldn't work in that environment.  I'd end up doing everyones job because I hate fuckers like you describe.
21:39 <@Dagmar> Well, in their defense that's an uncommon case
21:40 <@Dagmar> Dunno what bug got up someone's ass, but it is just as easily an artifact of the befouled ticketing system we use
21:40 <@Dagmar> It's _way_ easy to not see the latter half of a ticket unless you grab the scrollbar and drag it down on general principle.
21:41 < eryc> we dont use dhcp

22:42 <@Evilpig> should anyone local need it.  I finally broke down an bought a code scanner.  should be here later this week.
22:46 <@brimstone> code scanner?
22:46 <@Evilpig> obd ii code scanner.  reads the stuff from the car computer
22:47 <@brimstone> gotcha
22:47 <@brimstone> i have a bluetooth one
22:47 <@brimstone> works great
22:47 <@brimstone> also, any autozone and the like should read your codes for free
22:47 <@Evilpig> this one was cheap as dirt but had good reviews.  has the ability to read and clear codes so seemed like the way to go
22:47 <@brimstone> they won't clear them, but they'll read them for you
22:47 <@Evilpig> I knew they would but it's a pain to go down there.  would rather do it at 1 or 2 in the morning when i'm awake
22:48 <@brimstone> you silly 3rd shifters
22:48 <@Evilpig> and you know there is that whole geek angle of having my own nifty devices and tools
22:49 <@brimstone> why do you think i got the bluetooth one?
22:49 <@Evilpig> cause you wanna mess with people going down the road scanning for bluetooth devices?
22:50 <@brimstone> no, i wanted to read the engine stats while i was driving
22:51 <@Evilpig> I looked at a few of those.  just more than I needed.
22:51 <@brimstone> only thing better than wireless is lasers, and they didn't have a LASER OBDII reader
22:51 <@Evilpig> I wonder if I should go check on pat she's been gone a while
22:51 <@Evilpig> brb
23:06 <@Evilpig> http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=21527  I love bug regression
23:11 < eryc> brimstone: what bt one you got?
23:42 <@Evilpig> anyone in here intimately familiar with smf?
23:49 < eryc> i am
23:50 < eryc> bout to crash tho
23:50 <@Evilpig> I just figured it out
23:50 <@Evilpig> had some tables called backup_blahblah  that were made as part of an upgrade
23:50 <@Evilpig> just cleaning stuff up.  got this thing all good now.  running like a top
23:51 <@Evilpig> got regular database dumps scheduled.  just have to get them moved off site.  have a weekly backup set to grab all the attachments, etc
23:52 <@Evilpig> might setup some incrimentals just in case
23:52 < eryc> wait what smf are you talking about?
23:52 < eryc> i was thinking solaris
23:52 <@Evilpig> need to talk to him again and find out what losses he's willing to take 
23:53 <@Evilpig> simple machine forums
23:53 < eryc> ah, heh, hadn't heard of it
23:53 <@Evilpig> http://spydey.wilpig.com:8080/
23:53 < eryc> login page looks snazzy
23:54 <@Evilpig> this guy runs a tv repair forum off it.  it's big.  the db is just complicated as crap
23:55 <@Evilpig> doesn't help that I have no idea what the guy before me did to it.  so i'm cleaning up his mess while I go along
23:57 < eryc> heh, ya thats always uh, fun
23:57 <@Evilpig> loads
