<MattJ>

[10:20]

<MattJ>

vmarks: What is it? :)

[11:16]

MattJ, I had a thought for you.

[11:18]

you get that, MattJ ?

[11:19]

<MattJ>

vmarks: Yes

[11:19]

<MattJ>

Was afk

[12:57]

The snow is knee deep here in beautiful Chicago, whoohoo!!

[12:58]

makes my Norwegian blood dance a jig

[13:38]

hello.

[14:19]

<mcr>

if the neuros had software to plug in a USB webcam, it would be a video phone.

[14:19]

<mcr>

then, I'd point my camera at the snow that we have here...

[14:20]

<mcr>

anyone install this weeks' image?

[15:46]

<mcr>

rdate istari

[15:46]

<mcr>

date `date -u +'%m%d%H%M'`

[15:46]

<mcr>

sets my date from rdate server, then "corrects" it to have system time be in localtime.

[15:47]

<mcr>

no, that's not right.

[15:49]

<mcr>

rdate -s istari; date `TZ=EST5EDT date +'%m%d%H%M'`

[15:49]

<mcr>

previous only worked becuase I had corrected it already.

[17:37]

<MattJ>

Gah

[17:38]

<MattJ>

Come back to find that only 9 minutes of a 60 minute scheduled recording have been recorded

[18:38]

ouch

[20:07]

MattJ: only 9 minutes of a 60 min scheduled recording eh?

[20:08]

<MattJ>

Yes, it's a regular occurrence :(

[20:08]

<MattJ>

Or rather an irregular one

[20:08]

<MattJ>

I can't predict when it will happen

[20:08]

you win a prize. I, as an authorized representative of Neuros, shall tell you a story lasting 51 minutes.

[20:08]

<MattJ>

I've been trying to play around, see if I can reproduce it in certain conditions

[20:08]

<MattJ>

But it seems random

[20:08]

<MattJ>

For free? :o

[20:08]

<MattJ>

brb

[20:09]

<MattJ>

Just owe it to me :)

[20:09]

free, sheesh, you earned it!

[20:09]

its a great sotry about how I missed the bus and dropped my keys and some other stuff from 30 years ago

[20:09]

some call it a yarn

[20:10]

* JohnDesigner notes that no story will be told, that would be punishment.

[20:10]

so no idea why it happened tho eh?

[20:17]

<MattJ>

back

[20:18]

<MattJ>

No, no idea why it happens

[20:18]

<MattJ>

When it first happened I believed it was because I was low on disk space

[20:18]

<MattJ>

About 15GB of 350GB

[20:18]

<MattJ>

free

[20:19]

<MattJ>

But even then it doesn't happen every time

[20:19]

<MattJ>

So I can't really tell if I am just made a connection that wasn't there :)

[20:20]

<MattJ>

It happens if I press record, or schedule... that certainly makes no difference

[20:20]

<MattJ>

Once it happened while I was watching

[20:20]

<MattJ>

No message, just "Please wait a moment" while it finalised

[20:20]

<MattJ>

Just like someone had pressed stop

[20:20]

?

[20:21]

start!

[20:21]

<MattJ>

vincenzio: Stop confusing us :|

[20:21]

it's vmarks here.

[20:21]

<MattJ>

Yes, I know :)

[20:21]

stop making sense.

[20:21]

* MattJ apologises

[20:21]

<MattJ>

wooble.

[20:21]

wooble.

[20:22]

<MattJ>

[20:28]

thats a good age

[20:28]

<MattJ>

You think? :)

[20:28]

<crweb>

[20:29]

<crweb>

[20:29]

I have pants that old

[20:29]

<MattJ>

o_O

[20:29]

<crweb>

[20:29]

I;m 39 (as of the 22nd)

[20:30]

geez, that sounds weird to me

[20:30]

<crweb>

27 first of next month..

[20:30]

crweb: we'll have to get out the kazoo band that day

[20:30]

<crweb>

you ever forget how old you are?

[20:30]

all the time

[20:31]

<crweb>

last week, i couldn't remember if i was turning 26, or 27

[20:31]

<crweb>

had to do some math.. and was like.. oh..

[20:31]

I still absentmindedly think 36 or something similar

[20:31]

ya, me too, I thought I was turning 40

[20:31]

<MattJ>

lol

[20:32]

<MattJ>

Same here

[20:32]

<MattJ>

It started when I was 12

[20:32]

you thought you were turning 40 MattJ ?

[20:32]

;)

[20:32]

<MattJ>

That was the year a teacher said "it's all downhill from here"

[20:32]

<MattJ>

and now I know what he meant :)

[20:33]

naw, thats not true. well, maybe a little

[20:33]

<crweb>

nah, not yet

[20:33]

<MattJ>

Heh

[20:33]

<crweb>

i've entered into my best times every

[20:34]

<crweb>

now, when i get to 39....

[20:34]

30 is an interesing turning point and I hear that number is fairly universal.

[20:35]

even if you keep in shape regularly, it takes one a bit longer to recover, things like that.

[20:35]

<MattJ>

Hmm

[20:35]

<MattJ>

Then I'm about 50

[20:35]

personally, I grew a hatred for crowded bars

[20:35]

after 30 that is

[20:36]

that may have resulted from saturation of the activity tho

[20:36]

<MattJ>

lol

[20:37]

<crweb>

i started hated that at like 18

[20:41]

bars? only if there's an empty dartboard and lots of free tabls.

[20:41]

no need for the scene.

[20:41]

just a few drinks a few friends, and a dartboard.

[20:42]

because sharp objects flying through air and alcohol mix.

[20:42]

<MattJ>

:D

[20:43]

I actually used to take a subnotebook to the bar and do work.

[20:43]

it was astounding the sorts of women you pick up for having a laptop open at the bar.

[20:43]

this was back in 1998.

[20:43]

when laptops were less prevalent

[20:43]

<MattJ>

:D

[20:45]

the thinkpad 701cs with butterfly keyboard.

[20:45]

that machine was excellent.

[20:45]

I still have two of them.

[20:46]

if there were someway to shoehorn an eeepc into that machine's enclosure...

[20:46]

the keyboard is excellent.

[21:04]

yep, I'm with you vincenzio , the ol pub feels like home

[21:04]

although never tried the laptop deal

[21:09]

did it all of twice.

[21:09]

but it was enough.

[21:28]

JohnDesigner, which suburb are you in? or are you in the city itself?

[21:35]

city itself

[21:36]

and where's the office?

[21:38]

downtown, about 4 miles away near zero chicago

[21:38]

neat.

[21:38]

I don't get there much

[21:38]

really?

[21:39]

you do it all from home?

[21:39]

ya, mostly

[21:39]

kinda going stir crazy at the moment tho

[21:39]

in the past 2 weeks I've lsft the house twice

[21:40]

s'okay tho

[21:40]

heh, I'm playing fallout 2 ATM. gettin 16 bit old school gaming

[21:41]

h'ray!

[21:43]

some wonderful soul took the game and finished it for the company (about 5 years after the fact)

[21:43]

he calls it Fallout 2 restoration project.

[21:43]

there's a special place in an afterlife somewhere for people like that

[21:44]

abosolutely

[21:45]

I played thru the game when it came out years ago, and there were several things that seemed puzzling..like they weren't finished.

[21:45]

The game on a whole played fine (its hillarious too)

[21:45]

but turns out the original devs ran out of time, so they disabled or locked the areas or quests.

[21:46]

then this year, this awesome guy unlocked that stuff, completed the code and fixed bugs.

[21:46]

now the game is pretty much 'finished'

[21:46]

did it mostly by himself from what I read

[21:48]

what been happening with you vincenzio ?

[22:21]

I'm back, baby!

[22:21]

* MattJ tries to look relieved
