<Cpt_FaUsT> What an oddly specific channel. :)
<mrand> There are lots just like this one...  and it's actually less specific than the city specific ones ;-)
<Cpt_FaUsT> Well, that works out well for me. I'm in the area.

<archpower> dallas
<stlsaint> ah kk
<archpower> Just finished this project the other day:
<archpower> http://postimage.org/gallery/12fax27w/
<stlsaint> archpower: wow man built from scratch??
<archpower> its a 1969 mustang fastback - some suttle some not so suttle changes to this one.
<archpower> i cut the whole roof out and made my own roof, we widened the rear-end of the car, its no longer a subframe we built our own chasis. 6 speed, and this is a rare one of 10 all aluminum 494 cubic inch.
<archpower> the engine i mean
<archpower> its got electric breaks, electric steering . its got those brembos
<stlsaint> archpower: man i know nothing really about cars...your going way over my head. I stick to computers
<archpower> we made all the interior look like the 2012 mustangs
<archpower> we made the dash and everything
<archpower> we made the taillights
<archpower> its really subtle.

<barraponto> anyone from austin?
#ubuntu-us-tx 2013-09-12
<mocknock> Ok so i have a question regarding the core system and where it stands when it comes to utilizing the General Processing of GPU? Is OpenCL being used in the Ubuntu Touch code or will the option be provided in SDK? Nexus 10, Galaxy S4 and Note 3 DOES support OpenCL and as it stands, there are more devices to come that are/will use it.

 * tiwake pokes r3dd0g 
<r3dd0g> HEY
<r3dd0g> keep that thing to yourself
<tiwake> heh
<tiwake> going to go to the local ford dealer and see whats around
<r3dd0g> nice
<tiwake> cant get anything
<tiwake> but I really don't like what a lot of other companies are doing to their car designs
<tiwake> don't like what ford is doing either, but less so than seemingly everyone else
<r3dd0g> yeah, im a little oldschool
<tiwake> it does give me happy feelings having moved to texas and seeing all the fords and chevys around
<tiwake> :3
<r3dd0g> i dont particularly care for all the computer shit
<tiwake> I don't mind it... if it were open source
<r3dd0g> i have an 88 f150 im fixing up now
<tiwake> turns out ford has an open source CAN thing
<tiwake> http://openxcplatform.com/
<tiwake> it only reads from the CAN buss, but its in the right direction, and only ford seems to be supporting it at the moment
<r3dd0g> ooooh yeah, i remember reading about this
<tiwake> it also turns out CAN buss hacking looks kinda easy
<tiwake> so *shrug*
<tiwake> but yeah, it does mean you can build an instrument cluster that plugs in easily because of that OpenXC thing
<tiwake> or at least it should be pretty easy
<tiwake> better be
<r3dd0g> im going to have to dig real deep into this. probably after October, but
<tiwake> looks like there are some fun tools to do CAN hacking with these days https://www.canb.us/
<r3dd0g> they didnt cron their letsencrypt cert
<tiwake> after reading up on the CAN bus thing, I've kinda wanted to get a new car just to break into it
<tiwake> :3
<tiwake> then I found that OpenXC thing
<tiwake> http://hackaday.com/2013/10/21/can-hacking-introductions/
<tiwake> embedded systems are so fun
<r3dd0g> bookmarked. i gotta run to the office. damn on call scheduled = /
<tiwake> I need to get an oscilloscope
<tiwake> r3dd0g: hey, you get a chance to look at the CAN bus stuff?
<r3dd0g> no, been working priority tickets all damn day
<tiwake> doing what?
<r3dd0g> I'm a virtualization engineer, today is the completion of my on call rotation
<tiwake> what does virtuatlization engineer mean?
<tiwake> you fix virtual reality headsets?
<tiwake> :P
<r3dd0g> lol
<r3dd0g> vmware
<tiwake> oh ok... work for a hosting provider or something?
<r3dd0g> much bigger
<tiwake> google?
<r3dd0g> oh I think we're bigger
<tiwake> sounds like some weight loss is needed
<r3dd0g> i should like those numbers up
<tiwake> I think I want a ford fiesta ST
<tiwake> its a dinky little car thats turbocharged pushing just shy of 200hp
<r3dd0g> i rented on of those, i liked it
<tiwake> only the ST is supercharged
<r3dd0g> nice
<tiwake> donno
<r3dd0g> alright, im out. going to grab some pizza and head home
<tiwake> r3dd0g: you going to come back in the ...
<tiwake> channel...
<tiwake> slow
#ubuntu-us-tx 2016-09-04
<Ardonel> tiwake!
<Ardonel> tiwake: what did you do with Woodypc? Where is the body at?
<tiwake> Ardonel: I have no idea! lol
<tiwake> Ardonel: cooking spaghetti right now... it seems itialian seasoning is a little more difficult to come across than it is in oregon
<tiwake> lets see how many cars support that openXC thing
<tiwake> oh hey, it would work for installing a NOS system, or something similar
<r3dd0g> damnit.. no more rain!
<tiwake> hey, r3dd0g
<r3dd0g> hey hey
<tiwake> r3dd0g: I'm kinda digging this ford fiesta ST
<tiwake> a turbocharged dinky car
<tiwake> just shy of 200hp
<r3dd0g> as you should, its a neat "dinky" car
<tiwake> I want to break into the can system too
<tiwake> :D
<tiwake> bump up the boost a little
<r3dd0g> more vodka!!!!
<tiwake> heh, sure
<tiwake> actually I don't have any vodka :-/
<r3dd0g> ihave had a long week. i believe this is the only way my nerves and stress level will return to normal
<tiwake> couple bottle of rum, couple bottles of whiskey, bottle of gin, everclear...
<tiwake> some alcohol at home sitting in front of the computer does help relax a lot, for sure :)
<r3dd0g> going to the whiskey next
<tiwake> haha
<tiwake> r3dd0g: how much you plan on drinking tonight?
<r3dd0g> just enough
<r3dd0g> I have some friends in from Oklahoma, so there really is no telling.
<tiwake> heh
<r3dd0g> i now have a small lake in my front yard with this storm
<tiwake> are they IRCing too?
<r3dd0g> no, they have no clue what this is
<tiwake> fail
<tiwake> its your job as a friend to fix that
<r3dd0g> hell, i personally forgot about this for 5 or 6 years
<r3dd0g> mission acepted
<tiwake> I mean its IRC
<tiwake> and freenode the best place to learn... anything
<tiwake> (my favorite channel is #linuxcnc )
<r3dd0g> judging my the name... CNC related?
<tiwake> its software that runs on top of linux as a real-time machine controller
<tiwake> its pretty badass
<tiwake> but so is most everyone in that channel
<r3dd0g> nice
<tiwake> having been a machinist for 10 years, and a big time linux fan...
<r3dd0g> i haven't been on freenode in many years. spent a lot of time on gamersnet
<r3dd0g> and dalnet, ahahaha, years ago
<tiwake> well, freenode is the largest IRC network now
<tiwake> the other big networks have been getting smaller, and freenode is the only one growing
<tiwake> well, maybe unless you count some new ones, like canternet
<r3dd0g> because they cater to the "nerds, geeks, and hacker"
<r3dd0g> hmm, havent heard of that oneyet
<tiwake> its my little pony themed XD
<tiwake> oh gosh, I do not want a car with sync on it
<tiwake> ugly microsoft software that has a horrible user interface
<tiwake> ...its like windows vista only in a car
<tiwake> oh well this isnt "as bad"...
<tiwake> "at this week's Consumer Electronics Show, Ford announced that all 2017 models with Sync 3 would be getting both CarPlay and Android Auto, and that Ford will offer a free update for 2016 model year vehicles with Sync 3 to add these systems later this year."
<r3dd0g> yea, i was pretty sure they ditched sync
<tiwake> they havent yet
<tiwake> and I'm not sure if its still sync, just with the ability to connect to other things better?
<tiwake> also, I don't use android, so that won't help
<tiwake> nor do I use iOS
<tiwake> well, I might be able to use it
<tiwake> sailfishOS has the mir compatibility layer, so it might be usable

 * tiwake pokes r3dd0g
<tiwake> r3dd0g: how did last night go?
<tiwake> http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Adobe-Will-Update-Linux-Flash
<r3dd0g> went well. havent seen my boy since this time last year
<tiwake> also, made an art thing in inkscape last night
<r3dd0g> and Mila is right. Apple Jim Beam and club soda is pretty good.
<tiwake> whiskey?
<r3dd0g> aye
<tiwake> for whiskey, I'm pretty fond of the honey stuff
<tiwake> honey cinnamon whiskey is pretty fantasic
<r3dd0g> yeah, im a  huge fan of hone whiskey
<r3dd0g> Dr. Pepper and fireball
<tiwake> fireball is a bit too much for me, but is good for shots still :P
<tiwake> http://drinkmemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/8-Seconds-Honey.jpg
<tiwake> last night I mixed rum, that sour apple mixer stuff, and orange juice
<tiwake> so good
<r3dd0g> nice
<tiwake> I just found out that deviantart stopped letting people upload SVG images about a year ago
<tiwake> ...which was about the time since I last made any art things to upload to it
<tiwake> turds
<tiwake> link of the day: http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/featurescontent.htm#input_lag
<tiwake> r3dd0g: you look at the can bus stuff on cars yet?
<r3dd0g> no
<r3dd0g> realistically, I wont get on it until october. I have too many other things on my plate
#ubuntu-us-tx 2016-09-15
 * tiwake pokes r3dd0g 
<r3dd0g> hey hey
<tiwake> whats up?
<r3dd0g> i need a vacation!
<tiwake> heh
<tiwake> r3dd0g: wanna meet up at a convention in dallas for a weekend vacation?
<r3dd0g> what weekend and convention?
<tiwake> october 21-23 is the convention
<r3dd0g> ill be in Austin
<tiwake> http://nightmarenights.net/
<tiwake> hehe
<r3dd0g> firefighter testing
<tiwake> full coverage insurance for me for a brand new 2016 ford fiesta ST is a bit over $1,000/month
<tiwake> I could pay for a whole new car every 2 years by not getting that
<r3dd0g> wtf
<r3dd0g> poor driving record?
<tiwake> no
<tiwake> lol
<r3dd0g> thats more than I pay for 3 cars, 2 motorcycles, AND an travel trailer
<tiwake> 29 years old, I think I have one wreck on record
<tiwake> which was like 5-6 years ago
<r3dd0g> with progressive?
<tiwake> yeah
<r3dd0g> their cunts
<r3dd0g> they're
<tiwake> mind you, thats covering everything
<tiwake> myself, the car, the other hypothetical car involved... etc.
<tiwake> but evidently the people who give out loans want all that
<tiwake> nop, screw it
<r3dd0g> 1,000/mo.... for a bugatti veyron maybe
<r3dd0g> you checked AllState?
<tiwake> that was at allstate
<tiwake> though they might have only checked prices on the company I already have insurance through, progressive
<r3dd0g> progressive tried to quote me a $4000/yr premium on my street bike... i told the ignorant shit head on the phone that I would pay for first installment and "lose" the bike, so I could get a payout for a new bike.
<r3dd0g> my street bike at the time was worth $3000
<r3dd0g> im insured with USAA and Geico, they make me happy
<tiwake> yeah
<r3dd0g> but progressive can eat a bag of balls
<r3dd0g> assorted flavors even
<tiwake> they are the cheapest with my old mustang, and I don't care about it so whatever
<tiwake> payed $850 for the thing... heh
<r3dd0g> that is literally the first time I have ever heard progressive and cheapest in the same conversation
<tiwake> heh
<tiwake> allstate in montana at the time did a bunch of shopping around, and they were the cheapest
<tiwake> and continued to be for several years... donno about this 2016 fiesta though
<tiwake> they might not be cheaper here in texas either
<tiwake> meh
<tiwake> I mostly want a manual-shift car 2008 or newer
<tiwake> ford of some sort
<tiwake> (because OpenXC)
<tiwake> hmm
<tiwake> I wonder how much a 2008-2009 mustang GT goes for
<r3dd0g> what day do fish hate the most?
<tiwake> erm
<tiwake> fryday?
<r3dd0g> ; )
<r3dd0g> my youngest son thought that was a riot
<tiwake> oh woah, $12k for a mustang GT
<tiwake> hmm
<tiwake> r3dd0g: so that means you don't want to go to nightmare nights? :P
<r3dd0g> oh I would, but im taking written and skills tests in Austin that weekend
<tiwake> aww
<tiwake> lol
<tiwake> I can't really afford to go anyway
<tiwake> with a car that likes to overheat
<tiwake> maybe this weekend I'll wire in a switch for the fan
<tiwake> see if that helps
<r3dd0g> thermostat not functioning properly?
<tiwake> I took it out
<tiwake> heh
<r3dd0g> o.O
 * tiwake pokes r3dd0g for the sake of saking
<r3dd0g> ill allow it
<tiwake> as long as you get in this channel you will :P
<r3dd0g> touche
<r3dd0g> what part of Texas are you in anyway?
<tiwake> lubbock
<r3dd0g> ahh
<tiwake> seems alright I guess
<r3dd0g> San Antonio, here
<r3dd0g> well just south of it
<r3dd0g> do the other peeps talk too?
<tiwake> Ardonel does every once in a long while, but only if somebody pokes him
<tiwake> at least thats what it seems like
<r3dd0g> ahh
