<8> Kinky

<5> exactly my point
<5> er, well, your point in this case... ;)
<7> haha. nevermind.. i better eat my dinner. i'm hungry
<5> yeah, kinky poking gives everyone a good appetite ;)
<5> ah, manual QOS
<9> holy ****
<9> these guys are total con artists
<9> docfu: "Ottawa Tech Guys"
<9> docfu: $99 flat fee. Except that prolly gives you a half hour with some twit.
<5> Nanuq: I told you to stop following the priest around with a pooper-scooper...
<9> But here's the one that gets me.. "Upgrade to Windows XP Home for only $299.00"
<9> !!!!
<5> lol
<9> at only $109 CAD for _XP Pro_, why the **** would you pay almost 3x that for Home?
<9> er, that was Home. Still, Pro is $180ish
<9> $59 to reset a lost p***word. :P
<9> Whoa.. $10 per DVD-R, $5 per CD-R
<8> Hah
<9> a little inflated
<9> hey Aahz
<10> can someone please help me quickly with this unix disk quota thing?
<8> Nanuq: Doesn't .CA charge you extra, as well, using it to recoup costs for piracy?
<9> "Ottawa Tech Guys recommends SlackWare Linux!"
<10> error while trying to open "/home/cps621/submit-cps621-lab/f2butt/f2butt-16colours.bmp":Disc quota exceeded
<9> They're twats.
<9> ThomasM: Nope.
<10> that's the error it's giving me when i try to send a file
<9> ThomasM: That was thrown out.
<9> ThomasM: Which is why people like me got a refund from Apple from the purchase of an iPod.
<8> ****, life is amazingly good. Bought an extra Whopper today at dinner, and it is now perfectly cold and delectable for a midnight snack. Mwahaha.
<8> Seriously. No more sun-up to sun-down uppers and coding binges for Thomas. He gets weird.
<11> ThomasM: pfft. best coding then
<8> XyZzY: I need to find a WiFi-enabled pizza restaurant with good coffee and power outlets. I would never leave.
<11> It's like you know your perpestive is ****ed, but you just go with the flow
<8> And a smoking section.
<12> is that a bushism?
<6> ThomasM: Open on
<6> e
<11> siglite: no, paraphrase from Heavy Metal
<8> Sagoro: Nah. Then I wouldn't have time for code. Self-defeating.
<12> lol
<11> siglite: ever see it?
<12> man, it's been a while since I've seen that. I know exactly the scene, when they had just done about a 400 foot line of space coke, and were landing at the big spaceport
<6> ThomasM: SO, I could start one and you'd make me rich?
<11> siglite: Yup thts the one :)
<8> Sagoro: Good call.
<8> Sagoro: I'll make you rich, while charging outrageous rates to sit and eat your pizza. Business model effective.
<6> ThomasM: Would you come ti VA to sit and eat my pizza and use highspeed wifi and smoke?
<8> Sagoro: Would you come just a little ways away to Raleigh to open it? :P
<8> If it involved a design meeting there, then yes. To just up and go to VA for a few days to code wouldn't be a great plan.
<8> Actually, that'd be really relaxing and interruption-free. I'd have to think about it.
<11> Also hav ea drip line for COde-red Mt Dew
<6> ThomasM: Maybe when I make it with one here, I'll open another in Raleigh
<8> Nah. I can't take very much sugar. Makes me sick. Diet Mountain Dew, maybe. But why not drink coffee, which goes so much better with cigarettes?
<8> Sagoro: Good call. If it's got somewhere for me to plug in and a smoking section, I'm there. If it has free WiFi, I'll be there at least three days a week.
<6> ThomasM: One of these days, I'm going to move to NC...It'll either be Raleigh/Durham or Charlotte
<8> Especially because I'm trying to cut down the day-job hours, taking on contract projects that I can bill outrageous for and don't require me to be on-site.
<8> s/eous/eously/
<8> At least for me. I don't charge as much as a pure pro, for sure. Most quotes start around $50/hour.
<12> lol
<12> I love this episode of south park
<12> for this scene right here
<12> when the kids tell chef "we killed our teacher and they found our seamen in her stomach"
<6> I can't get into South park
<12> and he starts singing about how it's a problem everyone has to face, then stops, doesn't say a word, and just pushes the couch with all the kids on it outside
<6> WTF are you doing?!?!
<8> Sagoro: thats what I have oh neat! how can I remove it? I need
<6> O_o;
<6> I usually only use that whn it's kinda quiet in her
<6> e
<8> sy
<6> ThomasM: So, you a consultant in Raleigh or is there a company you work for?
<8> Sagoro: I work for an eCommerce outfit at least 40 hours/week. And then I do coding for a few people back in Wyoming, and a few people here.
<8> Sagoro: All word of mouth, but it's been building for half a decade, now. I don't do so much as to keep me busy every single day, but there's usually about 10 hours a week I should be doing.
<6> ThomasM: You've been in NC for a few months now, yeah?
<13> Reading package lists... Done
<13> W: GPG error: http://ftp.us.debian.org testing Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 010908312D230C5F
<13> what the **** is that.
<8> Sagoro: About 13, yeah.
<8> Wait. 16.
<6> TenBaseT: no idea
<6> ThomasM: You like it there?
<8> I'm seriously considering devoting one day a week to contract work, so that I'm not cutting into weekends and such too much.
<8> Sagoro: Yeah. Some things are nice, some things aren't. You can get used to nearly everything.
<6> ThomasM: I have visited Raliegh on a number of occ***ions...I've always liked it...but have also considered Charlotte. One of these days, I'm going to live int NC.
<8> Sagoro: The wife really likes it, and I keep busy. My main activities don't change no matter where I live. Maybe when I move to Scotland, but doubtful even then, except for weekend trips.
<8> Sagoro: I'ma have to visit over the eastern half of the US. Moving here was my first time past the Mississippi, so all I have to compare it to are the dozen places I lived out west.
<2> wheres the damn elf?
<8> Only place I've really been is camping and to Carolina Beach, except for the trip here, and we weren't stopping for a whole lot of sightseeing in a moving truck with a schedule.
<6> ThomasM: IMO, North and South Carolina are probably a couple of the best states to live east of the Mississippi
<8> Sweet. Win.
<8> The selection was mostly random, so I don't mind that, at all. It was actually another person saying something nearly identical to that about Raleigh in specific that tipped the scales in deciding to move here.
<6> Yeah, Raleigh/Durham have a fair amount of work for IT profosseinals
<6> err
<6> pros
<6> :)
<6> A lot of them are focused in Triangle Park too
<8> Sagoro: It comes and goes. There're so many IT folks here that gluts are common, depending on what high school counselours were touting four years ago.
<14> Sixty-one people were killed in a stampede at ULTRA stadium in Pasig City on Saturday as they lined up to get tickets for the popular gameshow "Wowowee
<8> But there are a ****load of IT-centric companies here, so patience and diligence will find you work, for sure.
<6> Yeah...work for a good IT pro can be found
<8> Sp0iled: Did you join just 15 minutes ago to tell us that?
<6> for the transient not so smart IT pro, he'll be in and out, most likely
<8> Sagoro: Yep. It was hard getting where I am, but now that I've gotten above the monkey tier, I could find a job without too much headache, or do freelance and stringer work to keep my head above water and be choosy.
<8> Finding a job when I first got here ****ing ****ed. My skillset was fairly broad, but I agree that I didn't have enough experience for anything serious. So I finally started somewhere, and created a serious system as I went, learning the whole time.
<8> And now I have ***istants. :)
<6> Sweet! Not sure when this happened, but last time I checked, until now, NC and VA didn't have full recipricty concerning concealed carry permits
<6> but now they have a reciprocity agreement
<6> which is nice, since I travel to NC 3 or 4 times a year
<8> Sagoro: Do drop me a line whenever you're in town.
<6> ThomasM: I am more often than not, in Greensboro when in NC...next time I'll be in NC will probably be July/Sept timeframe, I think
