jdoe: ah ok brycec: just haven't had the time to make a Debian mirror HighJinx: tell 'em to sign up :) brycec: 10 years? very nice Lefty: cool, good luck with moving phlux: nice screenshots! up_the_irons responds in batches :D it's true it's as if he sleeps sometimes… then wakes up and gets to work, catching up on everything received while asleep that was after midnight I think, where he is or maybe just before, I can never remember the offset from eastern to pacific kraigu: 3 hours ah hah! I REMEMBERED sorry :( heh I assumed he was in Cali… but the hours he seems to work don't exactly match an 8-5 job in the .us so he just seems to keep odd hours haha, no, they don't. but who works 8-5? ugh strictly speaking my job is 8:30-4:30 but I usually get in between 9 and 10:30 and leave any time after 5 sadly, usually closer to 8 than 5 :\ heh I know how that one goes kraigu │ up_the_irons responds in batches :D lol'd that's kind of how I handle my personal email ;) That's kind of how I handle my laundry. hah thanks for reminding me, i've got a load in the washer waiting on the kid to clear out the dryer she's got a bad habit of leaving clothes in there for a week+. obviously she has too many. touché CaZe re:laundry agree kraigu.. I have the same problem with my fiancée (and she has the same problem -- too many damn clothes, scattered all around) kraigu: we're working with our son on his toys with the same issue. It is resolving itself through a nice trick. "you have 10 minutes to pickup $foo area, setting a timer" .. anything not cleaned up in $foo area goes into a "goodbye box" and we have a list of things he can do to get them back one at a time. as my wife said, our windows are going to get good regular cleanings from now on toddf: yeah, I don't really want her going to school naked though ;) Careful, your wife might try that trick on you. kraigu: "heres some windex and a rag, your school clothes will be provided once you complete that window..." heh. this is working for our 2.5yr old btw, I suspect older children need more complex tasks. CaZe: wives are more subtle than that :( toddf: then she goes "ok, I guess I'm not going to school then!" can't win with teenagers. That was supposed to be a sex joke. oh. haha. yeah. lol a "goodbye box" eh… I would've just started chucking them to Goodwill, or at least stashing them to give away later kraigu: read "love and logic" sometime, it'll give you some similar ideas if you like the general direction toddf: I'm now counting down the days before she moves out... not that many more ;) brycec: perhaps, but some of his toys are legacy from when I was a kid (toy cars etc), we're not exactly financially rolling in it, so the concept of chucking toys to buy more later seems to churn the stomache in a bad way.. heh. moot point for me anyways http://xkcd.com/946/ (car on the right ;) ) (and not just because the car on the right is the same model I drive either :P) to be honest I think todays marketing creates a desire to spend money on kids. my sister who is a doctor is talking about getting her 4yr old an ipad 'to educationally entertain her' toddf: ya, I think the general thing there is a bag or box in the top of the closet or whatever toddf: haha I roll my eyes and think 'and when she drops it, will you replace it too? toddf: that's always been true tho just the educational toys are getting more expensive charlie (my oldest) has a powerbook g4 with a busted monitor hooked up to a lcd behind plexiglass with a usb keyboard/mouse. he's starting to play some of the educational stuff that comes with openbsd (childsplay) but mainly it is his 'see something' box (random educational kids videos). what is priceless is that since he was watching dinosaur train, at 2.25yrs old he walks into the library, picks up a toy dinosaur from the toy bin, and ... ... says in perfect clarity 'triceratops' and then next out comes 'stegasaurous' .. the librarian asked me if he was a genius *grin* But we get new punishments too! Buy her one of the new furbys and lock her in a closet for an hour. Maybe that's only punishment to older kids... well done toddf toddf: "of course, he takes after me" ;) "See, I can say 'triceratops' too." heh man i sure didn't have anything remotely close to an ipad until i grew up and my dad is very wealthy the only reason i got a cellphone when i was 16 was so he could keep in touch with me while i was on the road and in case of emergencies it was a flip phone (granted, that's the best we had at the time) and it was to be used for emergencies/contacting dad only..he'd always know if i used it for something other than that. heh, I got a Nokia brick phone when I was 15 for the same reason(s) I bougt my own first cell phone after spending a night driving back to my apartment a state away from parents almost being late for work only saved by the grace of a delivery truck driver who took me to a payphone so I could call a tow truck to get me then my car .. I'd refer to it as a brick flip phone but probably would get lost in translation ;-) I had a cell phone at 15 so I could be on-call for my job I did get an adapter so I could plug my laptop modem into it and dial the local isp while out and about. 1200bps was quite good for a roaming analog wireless device imho ;-) CaZe: you never told me your method for aligning :D qbit: Well it all lies in the carouseling of the axle. You have to picture *why* the carouseling happens when it's out of alignment. right - i guess i just mean tips on how you tighten everything once you have it aligned Any network issues in the last 10 min?
