09:50 <@jb7od> Whoever came up with getting up in the morning is a total dick.
09:50 <@jb7od> I place that blame squarely on the farmer.
09:51 < Synx|hm> day light savings
09:51 < Synx|hm> ya fuck the farmer
09:52 <@jb7od> I'm just sayin first shift is the real third shift and it's a conspiracy.
09:52 <@jb7od> based around not being able to water and irrigate at night without mold and root rot and whatnot.
09:55 < Synx|hm> i must have this

10:42 <@dasunt> Evilpig_: The one it saves for humans isn't a gift, it's a threat.
10:44 < Synx|hm> i dont really have 10k sitting around i just saw that on craigslist and though on neat i want it
10:44 < Synx|hm> what im really after is a solid 12in double bevel sliding mitersaw
10:44 < Synx|hm> and a circular saw
10:44 <@dasunt> Also, that cow picture is either odd photography, or that woman is tiny.  It's more apparent in the video.  Still a huge cow though.
10:46 <@dasunt> Synx|hm: Aren't circular saws like $50?
10:47 < Synx|hm> yes they are
10:48 < Synx|hm> but used is even cheaper
10:48 < Synx|hm> and i want corded
10:48 < Synx|hm> :)
10:48 <@dasunt> So pawn shops?
10:48 < Synx|hm> the 10K comment was totally unrelated simply the cost of that silly air compressor machine thingy
10:49 < Synx|hm> craigslist, ive not had many good experiences in pawn shops trying to haggle a good price
10:49 <@dasunt> I understand the corded thing though.  It's just too much to deal with the pain of batteries and recharging for things I use rarely.
10:49 < Synx|hm> ya and im going to be doing framing with it dont need to stop 2 hours in to wait for batteries
10:50 < Synx|hm> my dewalt cordless drill i think is finally giving up the ghost in the battery department :(
10:50 <@dasunt> You can get spare batteries and a charger.  Not sure it's worth it.
10:50 < Synx|hm> my older one last much longer the batteies outlasted the motor infact and then finally died 2 years after i replaced the motor
10:51 <@dasunt> I got to do some retrofit framing this weekend.  Yah for adulthoood.  Instead of blowing up random crap on the 4th, I'm going to be pulling apart a roof.
10:51 < Synx|hm> i like having a single cordless drill but not sure i need anything else cordless
10:51 < Synx|hm> what i really miss is the keyed chuck on my corded drill, its hand chucked and slips
10:51 < Synx|hm> :(
10:53 < Synx|hm> yup yay adultness

10:54 < Synx|hm> i spent 2 hours building the wing for a rc plane for my 2 year old (really for him to watch me fly)
10:54 < Synx|hm> he grabbed it and near folded it in half last night
10:54 < Synx|hm> lol
10:54 <@Dagmar> Okay...  The weather today I just don't understand
10:54 <@Dagmar> Everyone's saying rain, and I see fuck all on the radar
10:55 <@Dagmar> It'll _have_ to be popcorn showers
10:55 < Synx|hm> 50% chance i believe
10:56 < Synx|hm> my company uses concursolutions for expensing, they kept kicking back an expensereport for bs little things like they couldn't read the date on a receipt even though it was attached to a amex card charge etc, this went on for week and a half while i went unpaid
10:57 < Synx|hm> i fainlly wrote into my report, "LISTEN THIS IS NUTS, CLICK APPROVE SO MY MANAGER CAN MOVE THIS ON, CONCUR IS HORRIBLE!"
10:57 < Synx|hm> it got approved same afternoon
10:57 < Synx|hm> w00t
10:57 <@Dagmar> heh
10:57 < Evilpig_> Synx|hm: if they're open to suggestions.  expensify
10:57 <@Dagmar> ...or Verbitate
10:58 <@Dagmar> ...perhaps Nounology Logistialish
10:58 < Synx|hm> they fired our amex travel reb who worked at our office for the past 9 years to go with concur

10:58 < PigBot`> Title: Expensify - Expense reports that don't suck! (at expensify.com)
10:58 < Evilpig_> dick
10:58 < Synx|hm> and they refuse to listen to my suggestions on anything, otherwise half our sales staff would have been fired already
10:59 <@dasunt> So way way back in my family tree, I had an ancestor that worked for the Hudson Bay Company, who grew to be in charge of several different trading posts at one time or another.
10:59 < Evilpig_> I hate doing my expense report but expensify does make it easier
10:59 < Synx|hm> Evilpig_: looks like precip chance has dropped to 20%ish until noon tomorrow then up to 50%
10:59 <@dasunt> I, being American, had the nifty idea that I should go to Canada and visit these, or the parks or history museums or whatnot that remains.
11:00 <@dasunt> After tracking down the modern locations of these trading posts I have concluded that (1) Canada is very big and (2) Canada has no infrastructure in large parts of the country.
11:00 < Evilpig_> (3) duh
11:01 <@dasunt> Hey, it wasn't obvious to me.  These trading posts are over 200 years old.  I expected some sign of modern civilization would show up at least nearby.
11:02 < Synx|hm> actually it seems more obvious that those trading posts would have turned into major cities
11:02 < Synx|hm> no?
11:02 <@dasunt> Or at least minor cities.
11:02 < Evilpig_> Synx|hm: fwiw expensify ties in with amex for corporate cards too
11:04 <@dasunt> Synx|hm: For the area he was mostly at, the only trading post that transitioned into a permanent settlement was Fort Albany on James Bay.
11:04 <@dasunt> Population 2,000, according to Wikipedia.
11:06 <@dasunt> Otherwise, there's nothing - literally nothing left of the trading posts.

11:26 <@dasunt> 50 homes and an airstrip is a community, right?
11:26 <@Dolemite> A trailer park is a community
11:27 <@Dagmar> 4chan is somehow a community
11:28 -!- rattle [~rattleXx@tor/regular/rattle] has quit [Ping timeout: 256 seconds]
11:29 <@dasunt> Trailer park or 4chan may be an apt comparison.
11:30 <@dasunt> Isolated community where there's not much to do doesn't sound promising.
11:31 <@dasunt> I found the next community over (Fort Hope) in a news article about it's murder rate.
11:32 <@dasunt> Two murders may not be much, but when the community is 1,200 people, there's a problem.

11:42 <@dasunt> Synx|hm: Would a change of address form work for rerouting the package?
11:48 < Evilpig_> should if they send it USPS
11:48 < Evilpig_> but the nashville postal service was shitty about rerouting my mail when I moved.

13:55 <@northrup> dasunt: I always hated that... my common refrain would always be "look, do you want me to get the work done or type micro notes into the helpdesk tickets"
13:56 < RangerZ> dasunt: computer _Science_ is NOT an IT degree
13:57 < RangerZ> offhand I would have to use a calculator to compute IP ranges, etc... I did it once in my networking course, and I know/remember the basics but its something I haven't had to do in...ohh almost 10 years
13:58 < RangerZ> the problem is that Computer Science is still so young compared to the other sciences that it hasn't branched yet (formally), like EE, ChemE, ME, etc.
14:01 < RangerZ> I think we're at the cusp of that actually happening though, with majors being made to tailor towards "Software Engineering", "pre-grad school(More theoretical)", "dev-ops(mix of S.E. and I.T.)" , and "IT"
14:08 <@CRasH180> Do you think they will become that granular instead of just CIS? I suppose it will eventually happen
14:09 < RangerZ> my undergrad has IT/CIS/CS/MCIS(as masters)
14:10 < RangerZ> CS was having an enrollment slump, but its SKYROCKETED recently
14:10 < RangerZ> (another sign of possible bubble)... but I don't think it will "burst" this time
14:10 < RangerZ> b/c almost ALL jobs require computer skills now a days, etc.
14:11 < RangerZ> but yes, I could see some "specializations" forming within CS/CIS/IT depts.
14:11 < RangerZ> my undergrad is the Cisco regional academy, so we had racks upon racks upon racks of cisco gear you could play with (well _I_ could... but I didn't go into the networking route, lol)
14:12 < Synx|hm> what the fuck is all over my legs
14:12 < Synx|hm> its all below my waste, up and down my legs and thighs, ungodly itchy bites/bumps
14:12 < Synx|hm> slight red ring around and raised center
14:12 < RangerZ> ohh sorry about that, Evilpig_ was excited earlier about the 4th upcoming and roasts
14:13 < Synx|hm> been itching crazy for 4 days
14:13 < Synx|hm> chiggers?
14:13 < RangerZ> isn't that flees?

14:15 < RangerZ> http://www.healthline.com/hlcmsresource/images/slideshow/flea-bites/285x285_Flea_Bites_Symptoms_4.jpg
14:15 < Synx|hm> theres probably 5-9 solid bites on each leg
14:15 <@opticron> bed bugs?
14:15 < RangerZ> thats the first image I posted
14:15 < Synx|hm> i dont think im getting new bites though
14:15 < Synx|hm> and bed bugs wouldn't normally be limited below the waste right?
14:16 < Synx|hm> waist
14:16 <@opticron> right
14:16 < RangerZ> could be, if they were 'inside' your cloths
14:16 < RangerZ> aka sweat pants, etc
14:16 < Synx|hm> i did mow the lawn (heavy brush grass) last week
14:16 <@opticron> last time I walked through a flea-infested area, I just got bites mid-calf and below
14:16 < Synx|hm> but with pants and boots on
14:16 < Synx|hm> would flees stick around or just be bite once and wait week and all gone?
14:17 < RangerZ> depends if there was 1 female or not
14:17 < RangerZ> lol
14:17 < Synx|hm> my wife doesn't seem to have the bites either btw
14:18 < RangerZ> probably not a concern then, but if you do like with mosquito bites and put a X over the bite, to force out the toxin and spread it
14:18 < RangerZ> it should help the itching
14:18 < Synx|hm> ive been damn near bathing in antiitch cream
14:18 < RangerZ> use a finger nail to press down hard ontop of the bite
14:18 < RangerZ> then do it at 90 degrees
14:19 < RangerZ> hurts like a MFer sometimes
14:19 < RangerZ> but helps the itch
14:20 < RangerZ> know it works with 'some' bites
14:20 < RangerZ> might be worth trying
14:20 < Synx|hm> slapping the shit out of it and stabbing it with nail helps a ton
14:20 < Synx|hm> :)
14:20 < Synx|hm> but it was so bad the other night i was scratching in my sleep
14:20 < RangerZ> then yes, you still have the toxin there
14:21 < RangerZ> try the X thing
14:21 < Synx|hm> not as bad as poison ivy though
14:22 < RangerZ> you know what you should do, tell your wife, "honey, I know you are sucking my soul out of me one bite at a time, but its itchy, so could you please just do it all at once from my..... " and I'll let you get creative
14:22 < RangerZ> lol
14:23 <@opticron> I don't know how I do it, but most bug bites go away in an hour or two if I don't touch them
14:23 <@opticron> I used to have a horrible time with bug bites of any kind

14:42 < _NSAKEY> Yeah, domains were expensive back then.
14:43 < _NSAKEY> Same with any sort of hosting.
14:44 < _NSAKEY> But today, it's easy (and cheap) enough to buy a domain and use google to serve up e-mail.
14:48 < RangerZ> hell most universities do it
14:48 < RangerZ> vandy has all undergrad email hosted by google
14:48 < RangerZ> its easier (and cheaper) to do it that way

17:02 <@northrup> RangerZ: and we at lest TRIED to keep up with the liks of real research institutions that has CS departments
17:03 <@northrup> RangerZ: then it all changed to Google for the undergrads and Exchange for the rest... just write MS the check and hire wizard clickers
17:03 <@northrup> Christ... I need to just quit and start drinking for the day
17:08 < Synx|hm> i want to drink so so bad
17:09 < Synx|hm> but i promised the wife not to drink at all this week
17:09 < Synx|hm> :(
17:09 < Synx|hm> what a shitty week to pick
17:10 <@northrup> no doubt!
17:20 <@Dagmar> How are you supposed to properly celebrate the 4th without explosives and alcohol?

17:29 <@northrup> err... WAS

17:52 < Synx|hm> im not sure i think yes assumign i dont sneak in a 5th of jack or jim beam some time during this disaster of a week
17:53 <@Dagmar> Okay.  This is funny.
17:53 < Synx|hm> im more curious what happens tomorrow night when we do "adopted family" dinner and invite my sisters inlaws over for dinner
17:53 <@Dagmar> Google Now noticed I've been searching for information about appwidgets and callback mechanism
18:03 <@Dagmar> It scrounged up http://www.gotoquiz.com/web-coding/programming/android-development/how-to-make-an-android-home-screen-widget-update-only-when-visible/
18:03 < PigBot`> Title: How To Make an Android Home Screen Widget Update Only When Visible | A Web Coding Blog (at www.gotoquiz.com)
18:04 <@Dagmar> Now I would like to know how to tell Google to downrank that, because it's *insane*
18:04 <@Dagmar> The guy has invented his own class libraries to "deal" with the problem of only updating when the screen is on
18:04 <@Dagmar> *blinkblink*
18:05 <@Dagmar> He's using AlarmManager.
18:08 <@Dagmar> For those of you playing the home version, it does appear he's made libraries which to my eye can do nothing *but* generate more intent broadcasts

18:28 <@northrup> Synx|hm: wait.... no alcohol for an sisters inlaws... you must have pissed someone off bad
18:28 <@northrup> heh
18:30 <@Dagmar> Okay.  Having thought about it, that guy is insane
18:30 <@Dagmar> Lets say someone's doing a widget that updates every 90 seconds.
18:30 <@northrup> k
18:31 <@Dagmar> ...an hour goes by, the user wakes up the device, *both* the alarm driven intent *and* the user_present event will come back, one after the other.  Double updates.
18:31 <@Dagmar> 45 seconds goes by, the user wakes up the phone, now the USER_PRESENT intent will come back, but for no good reason because it's not yet time to even try to update the display.
18:32 <@Dagmar> It's a damn good thing I think of things in four dimensions.
18:32 <@Dagmar> What he's trying to do is basically going to have the opposite of it's intended effect.
18:34 <@Dagmar> I am *not* amused by this change to AlarmManager in 5.1 at all
18:34 <@Dagmar> Every other way of doing it seems to require me to have an object around so I have a way to shut the other process down
18:34 <@Dagmar> ...except widgets don't really let you guarantee that
18:35 <@Dagmar> I'm pretty sure that's _worse_ than the other problem I ran into before where my handle to the alarm intent was being reaped out from under me

21:39 <@jb7od> Anybody ever get stuck on a virtualbox with an xfce load where you seemingly can't adjust the resolution?
21:40 <@jb7od> this ettercap is so fuckin big it's like ETT on the screen and that's it... lol
21:49 <@CRasH180> I seem to remember that happening a long time ago in a vbox image several years ago
21:49 <@CRasH180> Can't remember how the heck I fixed it though
21:50 <@jb7od> I found a package supposedly that will fix it: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-dkms
21:50 <@jb7od> 640x480 is obn0xious
21:51 < Synx|hm> oh skype for business (aka lync) why must you suck so hard
21:52 <@jb7od> is it that bad? I'd looked at it (I'm not sure the office would really get on board, they didn't get into the fax server. they like the exercise) but I kinda shyed away
21:53 <@jb7od> as bad as Ex2k10 has been for me, I'm a little terrified. lol

22:04 < Synx|hm> let me put it this way i work for a company who's entire purpose in life is load testing voice quality of both TDM and VoIP lines in both major carriers/service providers and enterprise like Apple etc...
22:04 < Synx|hm> damn near every conf call i am on that we host on our lync platform our customers complain that perhaps we should voice quality test our own system
22:05 < Synx|hm> it is 100% possible our IT team sucks at life
22:05 < Synx|hm> though

22:14 <@CRasH180> Lync is the suck
22:15 <@CRasH180> Webex is so much more mature of a tool.
22:15 < Synx|hm> i have a recurring problem with webex where by i have full mouse control but no keyboard input
22:15 <@CRasH180> Synx|hm: Nope, this is not a problem with your IT team
22:16 <@CRasH180> This is a MS Lync/Skype/Skyrisoft
22:16 <@jb7od> I used to have a webex acct. Kinda miss it.
22:16 < Synx|hm> we dont pay for the super fancy webex just the support one on one tool
22:16 <@CRasH180> I have experienced the same issue with my keyboard input in Webex
22:16 < Synx|hm> :(
22:16 < Synx|hm> i had to resort to getting 30day trials of go to meeting for about 4 months
22:16 <@CRasH180> It did not happen a lot, but did happen
22:16 <@jb7od> CRasH180: that package fixed the xfce 640x480 bs.
22:17 <@CRasH180> I like LogMeIn
22:17 < Synx|hm> would be hosting training sessions as burt bacharach (sp?) was hilarious
22:17 <@CRasH180> awesome
22:17 <@CRasH180> What did I do to fix that issue? There is a work around
22:18 < Synx|hm> it was RDP inside webex related for me
22:18 <@CRasH180> I think I had to install a plug-in/driver or something to get it to work properly
22:18 <@CRasH180> Just a sec
22:18 < Synx|hm> so i could drop back to the remote main desktop type into notepad copy and paste it into the RDP session
22:18 <@CRasH180> Right, done that
22:18 < Synx|hm> ya let me know becuase i still run into it and it is a MOSTER pain in the ass
22:19 <@CRasH180> yep
22:19 <@CRasH180> Been there done that

22:24 < Evilpig_> get out your tin foil hats boys and girls, this is gonna be a bumpy one
22:26 <@CRasH180> Synx|hm: Are you using a wireless keyboard and/or mouse?
22:26 < Synx|hm> wireless mouse, wired keyboard
22:27 <@CRasH180> When this happens, what happens if you disconnect the keyboard and plug it into a different USB port?
22:27 <@CRasH180> or PS/2 port :P
22:27 < Synx|hm> hadn't tried
22:28 <@CRasH180> Is this on a laptop?
22:28 < Synx|hm> should clarify this is happening when i am controling somebody elses computer
22:28 <@CRasH180> I understand
22:28 < Synx|hm> i still have full local use of my keyboard/mouse just via the webex my keyboard does nothing
22:28 < Synx|hm> oh ok sorry
22:28 < Synx|hm> yes laptop
22:28 <@CRasH180> Aha
22:29 <@CRasH180> Ok, please do this. Remove the Synaptics software from starting with the computer
22:29 <@CRasH180> Or, whatever the fuck it is that is installed for the mouse and keyboard
22:29 < Synx|hm> will do
22:29 <@CRasH180> I believe this is what was causing my issue
22:29 <@CRasH180> Once I disabled this shit, it started working
22:29 <@CRasH180> I believe that was what fixed it for some time
22:30 <@CRasH180> It was a MAJOR pain in the ars and I got seriously tired of it
22:30 < Synx|hm> awesome thanks for the heads up!!
22:31 <@CRasH180> not a problem. Hope this helps. I would suggest turning everything off from startup except essentials, or even hell, kill those too
22:31 <@CRasH180> Start from the ground up to find the one that is causing the issue
22:31 <@CRasH180> Might take a lot of f'ing reboots. But, that will clear it up
22:32 <@CRasH180> Wow, that brought up some very angry issues working on the helpdesk
22:32 <@CRasH180> I am never working on a f'ing helpdesk again
22:32 <@CRasH180> Well, never say never
22:32 <@CRasH180> But, I am burned out of that stuff
22:35 <@CRasH180> Anyway. I am tired and need to get ready for bed
22:35 <@CRasH180> Hope that helps you
22:35 <@CRasH180> g'night all
22:37 <@jb7od> Nite mane.
