| <heathen> spammers? | |

| <boredandblogging> trying to clean it up | |
| <heathen> fun | |
| <heathen> anything spiffy? | |
| <boredandblogging> what? the site? | |
| <heathen> yeah | |
| <heathen> sorry, not the spam | |
| <boredandblogging> http://www.southeastcollegesports.com | |
| <heathen> hah | |
| <heathen> you're in #ale too | |
| <heathen> cool site, too bad I'm not into sports much... just my colts | |
| <boredandblogging> yeah, but I have yet to see anyone ever say anything | |
| <heathen> nah, i just said "ello" | |
| <boredandblogging> yeah | |
| <heathen> figures... I was hoping to find some more atlanta area linuxers.. | |
| <boredandblogging> you should go to the meetings | |
| <heathen> I'm planning on going to the next one here on the NE... it's not far from where I live | |
| <boredandblogging> cool | |
| <heathen> of course, they meet once a month and I found them last week which was still early in the month | |
| <heathen> doh | |
| <heathen> hah, i just found launchpad for the GAloco team | |
| <heathen> i'm really not quick on the uptake here am i? | |
| <heathen> hiya | |
| <boredandblogging> what did you think about the old coke place? | |
| <heathen> old coke place?? never been | |
| <heathen> i assume you mean the museam | |
| <boredandblogging> yeah | |
| <heathen> erm, take that back, I've been but it's been well over a decade | |
| <heathen> and from what I hear, nothings changed | |
| <boredandblogging> is the new one supposed to be impressive? | |
| <heathen> yeah | |
| <heathen> it's going to be pretty neat when it's all said and done... the grand opening is in mid april | |
| <boredandblogging> i'm pretty surprised I haven't heard much about it | |
| <heathen> provided that it's not put off by construction delays | |
| <heathen> neither have i | |
| <boredandblogging> kinda weird considering coke is basically a marketing company | |
| <heathen> yeah, maybe they are waiting untill closer to opening so they dont hype a date they cant meet | |
| <heathen> plus, anyone going to the aquarium can see the building being constructed... | |
| <boredandblogging> you are probably right | |
| <boredandblogging> but its hard to imagine coke not hyping something | |
| <heathen> yeah | |
| <boredandblogging> *cough* new coke | |
| <heathen> maybe they spent their advertizing budget on the trade secrets case | |
| <boredandblogging> haha | |
| <heathen> gah | |
| <heathen> i hate my office | |
| <heathen> sometimes | |
| <boredandblogging> why | |
| <heathen> did my timesheet wrong on sunday | |
| <heathen> so the emailed me yesterday | |
| <heathen> well, i didnt check my email yesterday, It's not a habit of mine | |
| <boredandblogging> right | |
| <heathen> so i get a scathing email from the boss, "Check your email everyday" Well normally I dont spend a lot of time on the computer | |
| <heathen> unfortunatly i hurt my back.. | |
| <heathen> so I've been here | |
| <boredandblogging> ahhh | |
| <boredandblogging> sucks man | |
| <heathen> but geez, I'm sorry I didnt reply to the email as soon as she sent it out | |
| <heathen> now, if i could just get them to stop using excel | |
| <heathen> only reason I keep openoffice around... so i can do my timesheet | |
| <heathen> allright, time for some nyquil and hopefully sleep tonight... this insomnia thing is kicking my ass | |
| <nomasteryoda|w> yall listen to tllts? | |
| <nomasteryoda|w> just got over with for this wednesday | |
| <boredandblogging> anyone around this morning | |
| <nomasteryoda> howdy | |
| <boredandblogging> hey | |
| <boredandblogging> how's it going? | |
| <nomasteryoda> ok | |
| <nomasteryoda> you? | |
| <boredandblogging> annoyed that people don't think the same way I do, lol | |
| <boredandblogging> hey | |
| <robertj> howdy | |
| <nomasteryoda> howdy | |
| <nomasteryoda> seems beryl is hosed on ubuntu feisty ... with the one i have installed .... | |
| <nomasteryoda> for the moment | |
| <robertj> I didn't have any luck with it a week ago on NVidia | |
| <nomasteryoda> when i choose beryl, it locks up the desktop... | |
| <nomasteryoda> i have to restart X to get it working... | |
| <nomasteryoda> robertj, I installed it at home on my desktop and it works fine... | |
| <robertj> yeah, well there is a reason it's not going into feisty proper | |
| <boredandblogging> i can't beryl to work in my dual monitor setup | |
| <nomasteryoda> until i setup twinview/xinerama | |
| <robertj> it worked more or less ok on edgy though | |
| <nomasteryoda> which torked it... | |
| <nomasteryoda> boredandblogging, yup | |
| <nomasteryoda> if i use single monitor, seems fine | |
| <boredandblogging> right | |
| <boredandblogging> sucks, but no big deal | |
| <nomasteryoda> i think i can't go back to one monitor | |
| <nomasteryoda> i have 2 at work with windows... and have to have them | |
| <nomasteryoda> home seems more productive with 2 now | |
| <nomasteryoda> but... | |
| <nomasteryoda> tv out does not work until i remove the second monitor | |
| <nomasteryoda> eventhough the tv option is shown with nvidia-settings | |
| <nomasteryoda> what? | |
| <nomasteryoda> someone restarted my session at home... | |
| <nomasteryoda> hmmm | |
| <boredandblogging> must be a ghost | |
| <nomasteryoda> kids | |
| <nomasteryoda> they;re home this week | |
| <nomasteryoda> if i can get my ssh setup again...then i can block them... hehe | |
| <nomasteryoda> since i setup ssh keys | |
| <boredandblogging> man, I don't have kids yet, but I'm not allowing my kids to use the internet | |
| <robertj> any of yall do any programming to speak of? | |
| <boredandblogging> me | |
| <robertj> what languages? | |
| <boredandblogging> right now, full-time java | |
| <robertj> I'm doing php stuff but learning more and more python | |
| <boredandblogging> never really got into php or mainly internet programming languages | |
| <boredandblogging> are you building a web app? | |
| <boredandblogging> this is the only thing I've ever done with php, took me a couple hours, and I vowed never to touch php again: http://www.sporturls.com/ | |
| <robertj> bored: good bit at work as well as on a contract baiss | |
| <robertj> and python for fun | |
| <robertj> I wrote a server in python that was line-level compatible with a 3d game, that was fun | |
| <boredandblogging> sounds interesting | |
| <robertj> http://sauerville.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/pauerbraten/sauerServer.py <-whee | |
| <boredandblogging> pretty cool man | |
| <robertj> as far as php stuff I do things like http://www.flintrivertech.edu/academics/program.php?id=4 | |
| <robertj> not very notable on the front but in the admin interface you can drag and drop nesting levels with "and" and "or" elements and it will calculate credit hours appropriately (or display minimum and maximums if there is a range) and do all the formatting | |
| <boredandblogging> thats pretty sweet | |
| <boredandblogging> are writing OO php? | |
| <robertj> nope | |
| <boredandblogging> gonna continue php stuff after school? | |
| <robertj> i'm not in school, I work at one | |
| <boredandblogging> ahh, gotcha, uga music dept? | |
| <robertj> yes | |
| <boredandblogging> sysadmin there? | |
| <robertj> yeah | |
| <boredandblogging> my google reader is just packed with nonsense about google and social networks, people need to talk about something else | |
| <robertj> maybe you need to adjust your feeds | |
| <boredandblogging> that too | |
| <robertj> I watch /., planet.gnome.org, planet.ubuntu.com, planet identity, and cognitive science daily, that's about it | |
| <boredandblogging> i've got about 150 feeds...everything from money to geek stuff | |
| <boredandblogging> but all the tech ones are talking about the google apps thing today | |
| <robertj> yeah it's way over-hyped (but not over-valued I don't think) | |
| <boredandblogging> do you guys use exchange? | |
| <robertj> no | |
| <boredandblogging> we use it at work, finally getting off of it...actually, not off it, we don't have to use outlook anymore | |
| <boredandblogging> which makes me very happy | |
| <robertj> how big is the company you work for? | |
| <boredandblogging> huge | |
| <boredandblogging> 44K | |
| <robertj> wowzers | |
| <boredandblogging> yeah | |
| <boredandblogging> i didn't start with them | |
| <robertj> yall get bought? | |
| <boredandblogging> worked for a company that had about ~140 | |
| <boredandblogging> yeah, then got bought | |
| <boredandblogging> honestly, could have been worse | |
| <boredandblogging> parent company could have screwed us over | |
| <robertj> who are your customers? | |
| <heathen> allo | |
| <boredandblogging> they've left us alone for the most part | |
| <boredandblogging> hey | |
| <heathen> who's left what alone? | |
| <boredandblogging> was saying the company I work for got bought by a big company, but they have left us alone for the most part | |
| <heathen> i see | |
| <heathen> any hiring going on where you work? | |
| <heathen> i found out today that I need a new job | |
| <boredandblogging> really? what happened? | |
| <heathen> I'm being told that I have to work saturdays. My wife holds our insurance, and has to work on saturdays too. So, I have no child care. My family is more important than my job | |
| <boredandblogging> definitely | |
| <heathen> I cant afford a babysitter, I dont make that much money | |
| <robertj> you tell em that? | |
| <heathen> yeah, they dont care.. | |
| <boredandblogging> is it a permanent thing? working saturdays? | |
| <robertj> yeah you do need a new job | |
| <heathen> no... but it's for atleast a month... 56 hours a week. | |
| <heathen> I dont mind putting in the time | |
| <robertj> you might want to look at getting a 1 day sitter | |
| <heathen> but i cant work on saturdays | |
| <robertj> and that way at least you can look for another job without winding up in a financial bind | |
| <heathen> I wont leave this one till i find something else | |
| <heathen> and I'm getting to a point that a desk job is starting to sound more and more appealing | |
| <boredandblogging> haha | |
| <heathen> sigh, I need to get into school so I can get out of this feild of employment | |
| <robertj> once your in school you also qualify for student jobs too | |
| <robertj> which are dead easy and have flexible hours, but pay crap | |
| <heathen> yeah, but, I've got to be able to provide for my family | |
| <heathen> biggest problem, I have no idea what to go to school for.. | |
| <boredandblogging> gotta start some night classes | |
| <heathen> I know that I'm in for some 101 courses.. I need a new job befor I can enroll in school though. I know when this job is over I'm going out of town again | |
| <robertj> heathen: anything. If you just want a degree, any degree, take it in education. | |
| <robertj> heathen: and don't trust your advisor, they will screw you over and waist years of your life | |
| <heathen> heh, never listened to them in highschool, why would i start now? | |
| <robertj> plan out every class you need semester by semester and then take them. If classes are full you go to the class anyway and ask the professor for an override, otherwise they will find some way to mess things up | |
| <robertj> heathen: well satisfying degree requirements is some what more difficult in higher ed | |
| <boredandblogging> have you talked to your wife about all this? | |
| <heathen> several times | |
| <boredandblogging> she good with you going back to school? | |
| <heathen> yep | |
| <boredandblogging> because it probably means she has to take on more responsibilities, etc, etc | |
| <heathen> the debate is more of a who goes first | |
| <boredandblogging> ahhh | |
| <heathen> she's got half of a nursing degree | |
| <heathen> where as I've got nada | |
| <boredandblogging> dude, she needs to finish up | |
| <boredandblogging> she will get paid quite well | |
| <heathen> yeah, but I cant make her do it... | |
| <boredandblogging> she doesn't want to? | |
| <heathen> she's not making anymoves to do so... so I figured I'd step in | |
| <boredandblogging> gotcha | |
| <robertj> heathen: have you heard of the PHT degree? | |
| <heathen> no | |
| <robertj> it stand for put hubby through | |
| <heathen> lol | |
| <heathen> I'm leaning twards a computer science degree | |
| <boredandblogging> you know, the first couple years in college are pretty similar for most majors, might wanna take some of the first math, science or english classes | |
| <robertj> nono | |
| <heathen> yeah | |
| <robertj> not at all | |
| <robertj> there are very few things you have to have that are non-negotiable and most of those can be subbed out for higher level classes in your major that satisfy multiple requirements | |
| <robertj> and your goal is probably also going to be to take as much at community college that transfers well | |
| <boredandblogging> yeah, thats a really important point, everything is negotiable | |
| <robertj> so you will have 0-4 semesters of foreign language, and you will _want_ to take those at community college | |
| <heathen> god i hope i can escape foreign lanuage... I'm bad enough at english | |
| <robertj> heathen: take a degree in College of Agriculture hten | |
| <boredandblogging> think all georgia colleges require it for entrance, could be wrong though | |
| <heathen> **** | |
| <robertj> I think the require either 0 or 1, my best friend graduated with at most 1, and he's dyslexic | |
| <heathen> I've got papers for that | |
| <robertj> He got his degree in Poultry Science, and is doing OK | |
| <boredandblogging> right | |
| <robertj> but this is the kind of thing you need to figure out before you start | |
| <robertj> because otherwise you could waste time taking the first 1 and then realize "Im never going to collect 4 for major XXX" and you've wasted that 1 course | |
| * robertj heads out | |
| <robertj> bbl | |
| <boredandblogging> do you like close to UGA? | |
| <boredandblogging> live | |
| <heathen> i dunno, I know it's up 316 and I dont live far from there | |
| <boredandblogging> was gonna suggest you could take your community college classes and then either transfer to Tech or UGA | |
| <heathen> Tech, i dunno if I could get in.. and even then if I could afford it.. | |
| <heathen> was thinking more of state.. | |
| <boredandblogging> that would be good too | |
| <heathen> probably have to do some time at perimeter first | |
| <boredandblogging> just need the paper | |
| <boredandblogging> at the end of the road | |
| <heathen> GAR! | |
| <heathen> too much to process at once | |
| <boredandblogging> haha | |
| <boredandblogging> yeah | |
| <heathen> i have some errands to run.. back in a while | |
| <boredandblogging> ok | |
| <robertj> btw, who was it wanting a screenshot of my desktop the other day? | |
| <boredandblogging> hey john | |
| <jsvh> hey nick | |
| <jsvh> whats going on? | |
| <boredandblogging> not much, trying to avoid work |
