08:27 AM aandrew: rue_mohr: I thought you'd burn wood waste in your outdoor boiler thing
11:32 AM rue_mohr: the boiler is bascailly dead
11:32 AM rue_mohr: everything rotted out at the same time
11:33 AM rue_mohr: would need a complete rebuild
11:48 AM aandrew: oh wow, that sucks but I guess it's somewhat expected with direct contact to flame and water
12:43 PM Tom_L: hah
12:45 PM Tom_L: when it rains it pours
01:02 PM Tom_L: kid is tired of the company he's at (no future) so he got an interview at another place and an offer $6/hr more than he's getting. so today the company he's currently at (unknowingly) pulled him into the office and offered him a supervisory job. he's only 21
01:03 PM aandrew: wow that's awesome, congrats to him. Is he gonna take it or move to the new company?
01:06 PM Tom_L: company 1 treats the employees like crap so i'd guess he's gonna move on
01:06 PM Tom_L: company 2 is fairly new to town and growing so he'll be getting in on the ground floor
01:07 PM Tom_L: they invested 4.5mil in new equipment so i think they're here to stay
01:08 PM Tom_L: i'd guess in a couple yrs he'll be in the same position there anyway
01:10 PM Tom_L: he's the youngest employee there
01:34 PM aandrew: sounds like a great opportunity

04:51 PM polprog: i got it
04:51 PM polprog: today at work
04:51 PM polprog: i got the ethernet working. The interrupt was connected badly
04:52 PM rue_mohr: ?
04:52 PM polprog: it's a myir zturn board
04:52 PM polprog: im installing linux on them, a new linux
04:52 PM polprog: we use them in experiments..
04:52 PM polprog: i spent 3 days trying to find out why it would not detect the ethernet interface
04:52 PM polprog: turns out the interrupt was wrong
04:52 PM polprog: fucking thing
04:53 PM polprog: and of course the phy on my board is different because the manufacturer did not update the schematic
04:53 PM polprog: im glad though
04:53 PM rue_mohr: :)
