| 15:23.36 | aeryndunham | Morning |
| 15:36.38 | spangborn | The escaping was definitely something I wanted to do ; |
| 15:37.01 | spangborn | I was on a cruise with my in-laws and they were miserable to be around |
| 15:38.21 | aeryndunham | it honestly baffles me |
| 15:38.33 | aeryndunham | most of the old people are literally just deleting emails anyway |
| 15:39.09 | aeryndunham | gaaaah the update is 3GB |
| 15:39.11 | aeryndunham | too much :( |
| 15:49.57 | jima | oof |
| 15:50.29 | jima | i'm a teeny bit surprised they don't use local internet when in ports |
| 15:50.46 | jima | not hugely surprised, but it seems like it'd be clever from an internal maintenance perspective |
| 15:50.59 | jima | not that internet in some of those countries is the best-connected anyway... |
| 15:51.27 | jima | maybe marginally better than satellite ;-) |
| 15:55.09 | aeryndunham | We used to use local internet in Alaska |
| 15:55.15 | aeryndunham | they did away with it for some reason |
| 15:55.23 | aeryndunham | I decided to, uh, stress test the passenget network |
| 15:55.28 | aeryndunham | so I'm downloading it anyway |
| 15:55.39 | aeryndunham | decided that the new Sims 4 update will make her happy |
| 15:57.12 | jima | i would maintain that alaska falls under my statement "not that internet in some of those countries is the best-connected anyway" |
| 15:57.33 | jima | (and yes, i'm aware that alaska is not, technically, a foreign country...it's similar in many ways) |
| 15:58.45 | aeryndunham | hah |
| 15:58.57 | aeryndunham | it was always fine in Juneau, the other ports, not so much |
| 15:59.12 | *** join/#utah aarobc (~aarobc@216.51.32.182) |
| 15:59.12 | jima | that's marginally surprising, even |
| 15:59.27 | aeryndunham | Juneau is nice |
| 15:59.33 | jima | did you stop at ketchikan? |
| 16:01.50 | aeryndunham | Yeah |
| 16:01.56 | aeryndunham | I like Ketchikan too |
| 16:02.17 | jima | from my understanding, the cruise ships make a non-trivial impact in their economy. |
| 16:02.17 | aeryndunham | I mostly like Alaska because it's very easy to do awesome hiking/outdoorsy stuff OR just sit in a nice pub al afternoon |
| 16:02.45 | jima | (i had a friend who lived there for a long time, but moved to the mainland recently) |
| 16:02.46 | aeryndunham | the effect of cruise ships is definitely non-trivial on a lot of places |
| 16:02.57 | aeryndunham | and I'm not sure if the good outweighs the bad |
| 16:08.19 | jima | hard to say, yeah |
| 16:14.06 | klys | hi~ |
| 16:14.32 | spangborn | hi |

| 16:14.59 | aeryndunham | goes for lunch |
| 16:15.06 | spangborn | Mm lunch |
| 16:15.14 | klys | enjoy~ |
| 16:17.25 | klys | i had to take a sabbatical because my isp went to web-only and now blocks sockets except 80,443,8080 |
| 16:18.12 | klys | ever since january |
| 16:19.01 | klys | now i'm a satisfied tor user |
| 16:19.10 | jholtom | oh no |
| 16:19.28 | jholtom | ust got an e-mail from a very critical vendor with a big apology note about how late they're shipping and the significant lack of features from what they promised to what is shipping |
| 16:20.14 | jholtom | > As a result of the lack of telemetry storage, Event, Error, and Channel logging and reporting are disabled as well |
| 16:20.15 | jholtom | oh fuck me |
| 16:20.34 | klys | it wouldn't happen to be autodesk...or adobe...? |
| 16:21.20 | klys | ack, no logging |
| 16:23.06 | jholtom | nah, satcomms vendor |
| 16:23.14 | klys | k |
| 16:23.23 | jholtom | I won't name them, they've done very well beyond this |
| 16:24.12 | klys | when it comes to software, sometimes the only way to do it right is to diy. |
| 16:24.28 | jholtom | this is the one part of the system that isn't in house |
| 16:24.40 | jholtom | we didn't want to fab the RF hardware and these guys had a good product |
| 16:24.54 | jholtom | but their firmware seems to have....a few problems |
| 16:25.35 | klys | digi-key has a good pcb fabbing solution. do you need a chip? |
| 16:25.48 | jholtom | nah |
| 16:25.53 | jholtom | we fab plenty of pcbs |
| 16:26.18 | jholtom | this box goes to space, and the benefit these guys provide is tested hardware |
| 16:26.55 | klys | space can cause chips to jiggle and perhaps break |
| 16:27.42 | jholtom | yep |
| 16:28.54 | jholtom | next time around we'll probably just design this thing ourselves |
| 18:09.51 | levi | I hate it when good hardware is spoiled by subpar firmware. :( |
| 18:22.21 | jholtom | he gave us a discount and a promise to have the firmware fixed 'asap' |
| 18:22.25 | jholtom | but we'll see how soon 'asap' really is |
| 18:38.37 | levi | Unfortunately, fixing broken firmware is often not a trivial thing. I guess it depends on how complex and how broken it is. |
| 18:39.21 | jholtom | we shall find out |
| 18:40.56 | levi | Maybe they're just fighting with the storage drivers for the MCU or something. |
| 18:41.49 | jholtom | maybe |
| 18:46.28 | levi | I do hate being at the mercy of a vendor's firmware engineers, though. |
| 18:48.07 | levi | I spent a week at a vendor's facility with a coworker and a couple of their engineers tracking down and fixing some difficult issues with a part we were collaborating on. That was actually kind of fun, even if I'd have preferred that it had just worked in the first place. |
| 18:55.40 | jima | klys: wtf isp is this? |
| 19:08.20 | klys | jima, wifi via the Ensign group |
| 19:10.21 | jima | erm...interesting. |
| 19:37.42 | unum | that professional poker player story on slashdot was interesting |
| 19:38.00 | unum | remember if you figure out a way to win at the casino, they'll sue you and take their money back |

| 23:15.32 | aeryndunham | Good evening, friends |
| 23:25.25 | frostyfrog | Why hello, aeryndunham :D |
| 23:26.24 | aeryndunham | is possibly marginally tipsy at work |
| 23:26.45 | frostyfrog | has never been tipsy, ever. |
| 23:28.26 | aeryndunham | is not proud of her drinking habits |
| 23:29.50 | frostyfrog | Is it fancy stuff? (I'm curious because it is a cruise ship) |
| 23:30.45 | aeryndunham | There is a lot of fancy stuff available on the ship at the passenger bars |
| 23:30.52 | aeryndunham | But the crew bar is cheaper, with a very limited selection |
| 23:31.17 | frostyfrog | Cheap glasses as well? |
| 23:31.41 | frostyfrog | er... wait |
| 23:31.42 | aeryndunham | Yeah, only crappy plastic cups in the crew bar |
| 23:31.47 | aeryndunham | no martini glasses or anything :p |
| 23:31.51 | frostyfrog | Oh my xD |
| 23:37.14 | aeryndunham | Anyway, I'm not an alcoholic or anything. I don't think. I just... the vodka helps in the getting through the day >.> |
| 23:42.56 | jholtom | thats the beginning of alcoholism :P |
