| 01:07.04 | supernovia | a good chunk of the reasoning behind that was so i could go to UPHPU without worrying about it |
| 01:07.13 | supernovia | not that I make it every time |
| 01:07.24 | supernovia | but that does make it possible. |

| 04:02.48 | herlo | http://www.wowbao.com/ <-- awesome food |
| 04:03.12 | herlo | and you *have* to go there |
| 04:03.24 | Utah_Dave | Sweet! I love trying out new places |
| 04:03.50 | herlo | on the other part, *if* you get a chance, this is my fav restaurant of all time - http://www.thevermilionrestaurant.com/index.cfm |
| 04:03.57 | herlo | it's a bit more pricey |
| 04:04.03 | herlo | but INCREDIBLE! |
| 04:04.35 | Utah_Dave | I'll check it out! |
| 04:05.04 | Utah_Dave | Both downtown? |
| 04:05.43 | herlo | Utah_Dave: this is the most incredible steak I've had: tandoori skirt steak - seared churrasco in a classic indian marinade with fried plantain chips chorizo kale, jicama citrus |
| 04:05.52 | herlo | iirc, it's to die for |
| 04:06.01 | herlo | Utah_Dave: yep, probably less than a mile between them |
| 04:06.10 | Utah_Dave | Cool |
| 04:06.20 | herlo | Utah_Dave: although I think wowbao has multiple locations in chicago |
| 04:07.24 | herlo | I hope you enjoy the food. It's one of the things I love about chicago |
| 04:07.34 | herlo | I don't love the heat and humidity right now. |
| 04:07.35 | Utah_Dave | I'll have to hit both of them. I love good food |
| 04:08.01 | Utah_Dave | Oh, yeah. Great food in Chicago. |
| 04:09.01 | Utah_Dave | There are 2 little pizza places I always go to, but can never remember their names |
| 04:09.42 | Utah_Dave | Anyway, thanks for the tips and the C7 contact info! |

| 04:10.56 | herlo | Utah_Dave: you are holding out on me? I want the pizza place! |

| 15:57.15 | mgeary | looks like Apple has broken with their traditional $99 OS upgrade. It's only $30. Still, i think i'll wait and see how it goes for early adapters before i rush in |
| 15:57.31 | josephscott | mgeary: last upgrade was less as well |
| 15:57.56 | mgeary | josephscott: you sure? I know that recently you could get S.L. for ~$30, but i thought when it first came out it was more |
| 15:58.09 | mgeary | but i could certainly be mis-remembering |
| 15:58.24 | josephscott | pretty sure SL was always around $30 |
| 15:58.55 | mindjuju | so do you have to do snow leopard to get to lion or can you jump straight to lion? |

| 16:39.32 | mgeary | so he's trying to save for one |
| 16:40.07 | mgeary | i checked Amazon the other day, wanting to see what iPads v1 were going for, foolishly thinking that with v2 there'd be a price drop |

| 16:41.01 | mahelious | that was almost reasonable |
| 16:41.04 | mgeary | hah |
| 16:41.58 | mgeary | so the Amazon "Featured" merchants list the ipad 1 starting at $530 for the entry-level model. Wonder how that's working out for them |
| 16:42.30 | mgeary | the lowest overall price on Amazon is $479 plus shipping. Not exactly a compelling discount |

| 17:08.00 | DexterTheDragon | why would something like windows 7 home premium starter phone edition confuse people? |
| 17:08.27 | unum | anymore than debian GNU/Linux Sid |

| 19:43.25 | DexterTheDragon | why stop at handguns |
| 19:43.29 | mgeary | and shopping at Wal*Mart contributes to the downfall of America |
| 19:43.46 | mindjuju | mgeary = troll? |
| 19:44.56 | mindjuju | and in which way does walmart lead to the downfall of America, economic or social? I've noticed that walmart employees, in general, appear to be zombies in all respects but 1, if you have a question about where something is, they seem to run away from you, not towards you |
| 19:45.11 | influx | Government-provided, and free, birth-control will lead to a rise in the spreading of STDs. |
| 19:45.46 | mahelious | contributes to the downfall of america because it builds confidence in the idea of monopolism |
| 19:46.05 | mahelious | kinda like using a mac |

| 19:47.01 | mindjuju | walmart < costco < sams club |

| 19:47.33 | mindjuju | many sams clubs are dingy, but the one at draper is nice and pleasant |
| 19:47.45 | mahelious | no, land ownership is the basic theory of capitalism = allowing private individuals to own capital (like land) |

| 21:18.44 | mindjuju | has anybody ever tried to track on a regular basis the location of the site viewers? |
| 21:22.29 | tierra | by location, do you mean physical location, or their page location throughout their session? |
| 21:23.16 | mindjuju | sorry, yup, physical location, we are looking into CDN and that was a question that came up |
| 21:23.41 | mindjuju | so people are curious how much of the traffic is from overseas or out of country |
| 21:24.56 | tierra | we do IP lookups on every viewer on my current site I've been working on at a fairly high cost since we need an as accurate as possible location down to the city |
| 21:25.25 | tierra | but if you're just interested in source country, Google Analytics works perfectly great for that |
| 21:25.40 | mindjuju | ah true that, i think that would be good enough |

| 21:39.12 | mgeary | i've got a site that does IP to zipcode |
| 21:39.37 | tierra | there's a free MaxMind DB that'll at least get you country and region info, but won't go much farther than that for free |
| 21:44.58 | mgeary | yeah, that's what i've used |
| 21:45.21 | mgeary | http://www.maxmind.com/app/geolitecity |
| 21:45.30 | mgeary | 79% accuracy to the city |
| 21:45.38 | mgeary | 99.5% accuracy to the country |
| 21:46.00 | jsmith | So, should we do a test, and see if geolitecity gets me in the proper state? |
| 21:46.38 | mgeary | http://www.maxmind.com/app/lookup_city?type=geolite |
| 21:47.07 | tierra | most DBs don't seem to be able to track my mobile phone correctly... I wonder how accurate most DBs are in regards to mobile browsers |
| 21:47.07 | jsmith | Man, according to them, I'm in New York City |
| 21:47.07 | DexterTheDragon | everyone in utah lives in salt lake or provo |
| 21:47.51 | tierra | yeah, I never trust MaxMind's lite DB past the region/state |
| 21:48.04 | mgeary | bah. prospective clients who push NDAs annoy me |
| 21:48.54 | tierra | AListApart had a great article kind of covering that topic a bit (more about Request For Proposals) |
| 21:49.21 | jsmith | Push a legal contract back at them -- and see what happens?1? |
| 21:50.16 | mgeary | tierra: this? http://www.alistapart.com/articles/rfps-the-least-creative-way-to-hire-people/ |
| 21:53.00 | tierra | yeah, that's the one |
| 21:53.19 | josephscott | include an NDA processing fee - starts at $50,000 |
| 21:53.26 | tierra | haha |
| 21:53.57 | tierra | same sort of technique used with "IE6 Support Fee" that I've heard a lot of people using now |
| 21:54.18 | mindjuju | that's funny but pretty good josephscott, mgeary could eagerly take the NDA and state that the mgeary attorney fees to review the NDA are automatically added to the tab |
| 21:54.42 | josephscott | I wasn't really kidding |
| 21:54.45 | josephscott | NDAs are a pain |
| 21:55.04 | josephscott | and if, as a client, you wish to inflict more pain on me then it is going to cost you more |
| 21:55.20 | mgeary | especially before you've had ANY sort of conversation |
| 21:55.21 | josephscott | possibly to the point of letting you go as a client |
| 21:55.36 | mgeary | i'm just trying to come up with an appropriate, yet diplomatic response |
| 21:55.59 | josephscott | "Our NDA processing fees start at $50,000" |
| 21:56.56 | mgeary | the polite equivalent to, "ideas are a dime a dozen. It's not the idea that will make you succeed, it's how well you execute on it, how well you market it, and how well it satisfies a demand. If you're scared to tell me your idea because you think i'll built it without you and cut you out, well... uh, yeah" |
| 21:58.01 | josephscott | oh, this is one of those NDAs :-( |
| 21:58.27 | mgeary | yes. what were you expecting? |
| 21:59.01 | josephscott | well, there are those, that usually come from individuals |
| 21:59.30 | josephscott | then there are NDAs from large companies, same tool to beat you up with, but different approaches/issues |
