[10:59:58 CST(-0600)] <jessm> and colinclark avtar the engineer promised a better experience in a month with the new release
[11:00:21 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> avtar: well, there's a gap between theory and practice when it comes to my home network
[11:00:34 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> Upstream claims to be something like 2 Mb
[11:00:45 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> Speed tests typically show it at about 600 Kb
[11:00:46 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> which is so bad
[11:00:50 CST(-0600)] <avtar> jessm: to paraphrase someone "i don't normally read fiction, but when i do it's promises made by engineers in chats"
[11:00:56 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> lol
[11:00:57 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> lol
[11:01:01 CST(-0600)] <avtar> just kidding
[11:01:05 CST(-0600)] <avtar> i'm sure he's being honest
[11:01:08 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> 
[11:01:18 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> I so like having avtar around when we meet with vendors
[11:01:30 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> You should have seen him with HP!
[11:02:47 CST(-0600)] <avtar> haha
[11:03:00 CST(-0600)] <avtar> let's see what the next meeting brings
[11:03:15 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> I'm quite worried about timelines and the Nebula pilot
[11:03:22 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> That's the one advantage to just doing the VOR
[11:03:32 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> we get the boxes, Nebula comes up and sets everything up, and off we go
[11:03:39 CST(-0600)] <jessm> ha! well, i will say if the sales team had promised it I'd be more skeptical
[11:03:40 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> but on the other hand, we've got lots of iceberg chipping to do
[11:04:12 CST(-0600)] <jessm> avtar: how's the iceberg coming? are you fixin' to plan how to do the thing?
[11:06:20 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> chisel vs. sledgehammer
[11:09:07 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> Ooh, NASA is releasing their FORTRAN unit testing framework as open source software: http://code.nasa.gov/projects/
[11:09:09 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> Can't wait!
[11:09:19 CST(-0600)] <avtar> jessm, colinclark: i've had to work on smaller icebergs since our last talk. jorge not being able to log into the idrc jabber server and a different approach to resolving the bell community wiki problem. jotting stuff down in my notebook as i go along but hoping to dedicate time to nagios and ganglia once the move and kasper's tasks are done.
[11:10:27 CST(-0600)] <jessm> avtar: well, if there's anything you think i might help with, lemme know
[11:11:02 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> And let me know if you need me to bring some tarps for tomorrow's server move
[11:11:59 CST(-0600)] <avtar> the forecast isn't calling for rain/snow tomorrow now
[11:12:21 CST(-0600)] <avtar> but i spoke to bert and he said that he'll either bring a tarp or large garbage bags tomorrow 
[11:12:29 CST(-0600)] <avtar> brb
[11:13:51 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> nothing like tossing our server's into a couple of garbage bags
[11:14:12 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> anastasiac and cindyli: Here's a list of keyboard controls for Firefox's built-in video player http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Viewing%20video%20in%20Firefox%20without%20a%20plugin#w_keyboard-controls
[11:14:35 CST(-0600)] <anastasiac> colinclark, thanks
