    current weekend snow prediction... 0-24 inches. It's hilarious, but seems pretty certain we're going to get a lot of something. It just seems hard to say if it'll be snow or rain right now. !minnesota

    today is day 1 of trying to reduce my !coffee. I'm trying to avoid having another dental filling. I'm also going to try to reduce my sugar, which I don't think was too high, but it's amazing how many things have added sugar...like cheese crackers.

    no announcement today. I did hear back from ccMixter. They are in the middle of trying to rebrand the site to make it more of a collaboration site than a pure mix site. It's much more in line with what the site actually is. It's a good longterm move, but Mike (the guy in charge of ccmusicawards.com) is working with them on that and basically it's going to slow us down.

    whitemarketpodcast@gmail.com is probably your best bet to figure out what's going on with the pop category. For whatever reason, it's the one I've been neglecting the most

    Officially, to the extent anything is official, the definition of folk is up to you and Hollis. I do personally feel that it's possible for bitpop to be folk.

    Oh, also "The bars consist of fruits and nuts and are made without genetically modified ingredients". I was kinda wondering about the GMO.

    I have mixed feelings about GMOs. The patents are a whole can of worms, but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_rice seems like a good thing. Also, if we can create test tube meat that doesn't require the feeding and slaughtering of huge animals, then that would seem to be a net positive. It still seems like you could just skip the test tube meat and eat fruits and vegetables, but the whole "do this because otherwise our species will be extinct" thing doesn't seem to resonate with people. Assuming there aren't patent encumberances, test tube meat should be cheaper. And...and even if there are patents, it's in the interest of that industry to undercut traditional meat anyway.

    I was thinking, "oh that's cool, Larabar is here".

    "Lärabar is a brand of energy bar produced by General Mills."

    Which...I know General Mills was in !twincities. Still, global megacorp aside, the Larabars, often have one or two ingredients. That's nuts! Well, I think it's always dates. Sometimes it's nuts. ;)

    no problem. Maybe you were just searching for free culture things before? Thanks for sticking it out. It's been a learning experience, and we hope whoever ends up being a judge next year has a better experience. I'm hoping to make an announcement about the changes tomorrow. I'm waiting on ccMixter to get back to me.

    "Seems like this is a case where the extreme flexibility of $X provided a way for users to shoot themselves in the foot a bit too easily"

    I'll just let you guess what the $X is...this has been corrected (well, it's still possible to do it the old way), but the correction gives away the $X and even though it's not rocket science to guess the $X, I don't want to go naming names. :)

    they are compatible with NRPE...and a bunch of other stuff. I don't really know anything about OpenNMS other than that. :) I should fix that, but I think the first priority is learning Spanish since I want to go to South America and my wife pretty much said knowing Spanish was a prereq....even though we could easily go to Bueous Aires (I know this is incorrect, but do not care enough to find out the correct spelling) where my old roommate lives or to Georgetown (which is in the only English-speaking part of South America...but whatever, I don't make the rules, I just follow them)

    yeah, I think if !nagios had better community relations the commute might have been worth it, but the #icinga fork really soured things for a lot of people on both sides (I suppose that pretty much always happens, to some extent). Nagios LLC still takes contributions on Core, but it may be that contributions were being rejected that competed with XI.

    We'll see how things go at Perforce, but my hope is that after my non-compete is over Tarus will have some remote openings at #OpenNMS. Back in 2007, OpenNMS sponsored a conference I spearheaded. They were a local-to-me company at the time.

    As far as I'm aware, perforce is still gratis for people working on open source projects. Why, in 2018, anyone would do that, I'm not sure. I'm not sure when the policy started, but I bet back before #git, that actually meant something to people.

    That's correct. I went from a little over 8.5 miles one-way to ~8.5 blocks. I suppose I should have sent that post to !vcs, since it's actually perforce and git related, and not just a, say, finance position. We did have have #gitfusion and #gitswarm, but those are deprecated and now we have #Helix4Git. I don't have a sense yet for how much I'll be able to stay in git land, but we do have a fair amount of FLOSS tooling at https://swarm.workshop.perforce.com/ -- for the most part, I don't think the stuff there is useful outside of perforceland, but some of the #SDP stuff could pretty easily be refactored to work with other products, I think. This is what one of our consultants that occasionally works on the SDP said anyway, and I understand his argument. It's a step backwards as far as FLOSS-ness, but before I agreed to an interview I made sure there would be no restrictions on me contributing to Apache or git. There are not. It might be different for someone hired as a developer, but that doesn't really matter for me personally since that is not, and likely will never be, my role.

    I'm sure this was brought up at the time, but I just looked up https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/salvo and now I'm wondering who at the White House/DoD came up with "Shock and Awe" like it was something new. I suppose it is memorable.
