[20:14] yea, that is never fun [20:15] No worries [20:15] I feel better this way [20:17] I just hope my bf has fun. He's not ADF but he's willing to go with me, cause I don't feel safe going alone [20:17] my hubby might be going this time [20:17] he's not adf either [20:17] Ô perhaps we could connect [20:17] that will make your drive easier [20:17] yes [20:18] You'll miss the 24 hour straight driving Sara. it'll spoil you [20:19] We've got 6.5 hrs if we don't hit traffic [20:19] I budget 8 hours [20:19] ok [20:19] same as for the Knoll [20:19] pshh.....not driving like that again [20:19] I can handke that [20:19] I will be stopping somewhere over night [20:19] good to hear it. i worried about yu doing that drive [20:19] and yes Erin, that would be great :) [20:20] I want him to have someone to hang out with when the veteran [20:20] when the veteran's ritual goes on, if they have it this year [20:21] gotta find something nice to wear [20:21] Blondie is already planning her weekend spoiling the cats. So far they will get KFC and Tuna [20:21] I don't go to that one [20:21] Lol owlhawk [20:21] well perhaps you and Jeff can hang out [20:22] as in you will go and he's not interested? [20:22] maybe. depends what all is going on. lots of options [20:22] I just don't think it would appeal to him [20:22] I'd go [20:22] gotcha [20:22] I love the pageantry [20:23] it was very impressive last time I went [20:23] I don't know that I've seen one [20:24] think if I got drunk at 10am that I'd be fine to drive at midnight? [20:24] at Wellspring, I've seen them other places [20:24] no. [20:24] Dam [20:24] ok [20:24] lol [20:24] tends to be my husband helps out in those rituals....being a vet but not really mega pagany, it's kinda funny actually [20:25] :l [20:25] :) [20:25] at least he's a good choice for color guard having done it in the Marines for years [20:25] that would tend to make him good at it [20:25] I don't need to drink. [20:26] yea, he gets all shy about it though, which is cute [20:26] :) cute [20:26] all I know it will be awesome to have daddy help with the kiddo [20:27] lol [20:27] because she tends to be a handful these days [20:27] so, mom's curse is coming true then [20:27] *** SilverDruid (Mibbit@1ccf9c51.lightspeed.tulsok.3e6fd2e2.net.hmsk) has joined #adf [20:27] Jeff's a great babysitter. .just saying..

[20:43] *** ErinP (Mibbit@36921445.dsl.282eb7d8.ca.hmsk) has quit IRC [Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client] [20:46] So what do people want to talk about? [20:50] I'm open to anything but the weather [20:50] How's winter going for people? We hit around -40 on the weekend one night [20:50] damit! [20:50] :D [20:50] we have gotten about 7.5 feet in the last 3-4 weeks. [20:51] It was 29 this AM high was 46 [20:51] avriging ~-25F per night with wind chill [20:51] that's shorts weather [20:51] we arent expected to break freezing till march 2nd [20:52] Winter doesn't normally end for us until at least the first week of April [20:52] winter will last a bit longer but it would be nice to break freezing once in a while [20:53] we can easily get snow into eairly april [20:53] in like a lamb, out like a lion [20:53] we've been too cold to get snow lately. [20:57] its just been to cold here for it to melt [20:57] hence the difference between winter and spring [21:00] At least we are educational here [21:01] *** SilverDruid (Mibbit@1ccf9c51.lightspeed.tulsok.3e6fd2e2.net.hmsk) has quit IRC [Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client] [21:02] there is that [21:06] This talk is a good example of why i see Ostara as the beginning of spring. [21:06] instead of Imbolc [21:09] I agree with that [21:09] Makes good sense [21:10] With our climate it does at least. Europe is a bit warmer [21:13] seasons would be closer to what would be expected in Norse lands [21:14] at least I would expect any way [21:14] Well, if you leave Germany out of the equation i think it would be. [21:17] I wonder how that sort of thing would have affected our ancestors as they moved around trade routes. [21:18] would they have altered their seasonal celebrations according to local climate [21:19] They didn't keep a calendar they live by the seasons [21:19] I expect they would. Imbolc for instance is when the Ewes give birth and hence are full of milk again. [21:20] and that does change based on the weather [21:20] nobody wants to give birth in an ice storm [21:20] Harvest changes based on the conditions. [21:22] likely the only one that wouldn't is Lughnassadh since it was a tribal gathering and likely Samhain and Beltaine. Since they are reflections of each other [21:22] Hellenic colonies set up their ritual calendar according to the new cities conditons [21:23] Each city had a different calendar [21:23] well it's easy for us to see from our modern perspective. but most of our ancestors would never have gone far from their home. the first traders to make long journeys or the first time. I would Imagen it to be disorienting. [21:23] yu[p [21:27] but the traders did travel great distances. that we do know. [21:27] they did that [21:29] I am always curious of how those information exchanges went. our world is comparatively so small. it's easy to forget. [21:32] centered around profit I'm sure. [21:33] oh I'm sure. [21:34] but how do you know what new things will give a profit [21:34] and that is the crux of business. it's a gamble [21:35] when the world was so small I suspect anything new would have been valuable. [21:36] the Indianoplois 500, meowing demonic version, has begun in my house. [21:36] cat nip? [21:36] nope. nap finished [21:37] That can do it [21:37] it's better then the barking, Great Dane, Indy 500. that one is actually dangerous to innocent bystanders.....and pot roasts. [21:38] My only black eye was from the tail of a great dane [21:39] We had two when I was a teenager and in university [21:50] Need to run Stay Warm [21:50] We are trying. have a good night [21:50] *** RovenaWindsor (Mibbit@14055a95.6ca5f07f.72.170.imsk) has quit IRC [Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client] [21:51] quiet tonight. I'm suprised I'd expect people to be stuck inside and looking to connect [21:51] It's easy to get distracted by other things. [21:51] it is [21:52] but I typically am doing several things at once [21:52] I'm watching the leafs game [21:52] I'm writing code in two diffrent languages. [21:52] lucky you [21:53] eh, it's not working the way I expect so I don't know how lucky I am [21:53] what languages? [21:53] arduino and ruby [21:54] don't know those ones at all. but check your variables and your syntax [21:55] arduino is a prototyping board. I think I have a sensor that has gone bad. [21:55] ah [21:55] thrmoresistor, the values are not changing. [21:56] time to test then [21:57] yeah need a new multimeater [21:57] that makes two of us. [21:58] darn I have to got to the electronics shop tomorrow. [21:58] I've been ignoring my dead multimeter for about 3 years now. [21:59] yeah I've been with out one for even longer. but I havent done anything hardware wise in ages. it's all been software [21:59] trying to build a smart thermostat [21:59] only thing i've needed one for is testing power supplies [22:00] I just use a light bulb [22:00] even then it's easier to just buy a new one [22:00] computer power supplies [22:00] I'm working on building out a smart house [22:01] that would be two expensive for us. our house is over a hundred years old. [22:01] thats the point of building it my self. each piece is probably going to be less then $30usd [22:02] we'ed have to cut into walls to run the wire all over the house [22:03] they are all wireless. stanard wifi or zwave. I haven't decided yet [22:03] ah [22:07] working on switches, thermostats, possibly smart mirrors. start small and build up. all talking to a central server [22:08] you need more things to do [22:08] this is how I distract my self from the things I need to do [22:08] you're good at that i see [22:09] I've been meaning to start a discussion on the techno-druid list about using el-wire to design reconfigurable ritual spaces. [22:09] If I don't tune out from my work load every now and then I will go bonkers [22:10] when you can get up to 74% travel per year for work having time to just sit and tinker is huge. [22:10] that could be an interesting discussion [22:10] it woulsd [22:10] be [22:11] have you ever read the laundry files books? [22:13] never heard of em [22:15] good books. interesting idea of mixing magic and mathmatics [22:15] they are interesting. [22:20] I'm off to bed. good chatting with you. good night [22:20] *** Owlhawk (Owlhawk@cf983e33.cpe.net.cable.f33844f1.com.hmsk) has quit IRC [Quit: User pushed the X - because it's Xtra, baby] [22:22] *** JasonM (smuxi@afb43f9a.hsd1.ma.5aa6454b.net.hmsk) has quit IRC [Read error: Connection reset by peer] *** Closed channel log for #adf at 17/02/2015 10:32:48 PM
