Useless Conversation

[Abagadro]

That's actually what ended up being the problem with mine. Ice in the ice hopper melted while power was off, leaked down the back of the fridge, then froze all around the compressor and fan. Unplugged it, thawed it out, fired it back up and voila!

[Ingmar]

Modern server hardware should be able to handle 95 OK. What gets you into trouble is when it heats up and cools down and heats up and cools down and heats up...

[Yegolev]

Don't you love it when your server room's AC turns off?  And it's Saturday?  And you're sick?  But you're the only one paying attention, so you have to drive an hour to flip a switch and see what damage has occurred from the room being 95 degrees?

I know I do.

This is why I like being a team lead.  Although I spent many hours on a call today listening to the dumbass DBAs at [redacted] fumble through trying to start the Oracle listener for an hour or two (really?!), followed by lots of SAP BASIS buffoonery, thinking it serves these bastards right for outsourcing all of us.  Fuck Japan, fuck those shit-eating DBAs, and those lazy-ass BASIS bitches that never bothered to learn fucking BASIS because of how awesome I and my team was.  Fuck them in their carbonated assholes.

What were we talking about?

Random "We're all old and out of touch" moment to share via my sister.  Jack is my 16 year old nephew:

Jack was trying to authorize a card today & when it asked him to enter the pound sign he looked up & me & said 'What is the pound sign?'..then he looked down & said 'Oh they mean the hashtag!'..Really?!

I never got why everyone doesn't just call it an octothorpe.

Because we're not all a bunch of twatty-mouthed crotch-pheasants?

Don't mind me, just combining recent themes in my posting.

I would call this symbol a hash: #
Because when someone says pound sign to me, I think of this first: £.

[Merusk]

We called it the "tic tac toe board" growing up until I was about 11 or 12.

Yeah, but, you know....

I just called my sister a Twatty Mouth.  I may name something that.  So far, because my kitties don't have their passports, I've adopted three pigeons who live under my window and named them all Hank.  Next one is Twatty Mouth.  I wonder if I could get away with naming a GW2 character that.  Is Twat naughty everywhere?

[Reg]

Weird. I always knew it as the "number sign."

[lamaros]

It's a hash, who the heck calls it a pound?

Oh right, Americans and their 'English' language...

[rattran]

I don't know about "twat" but Scunthorpe is blocked in every game I've tried it in since Swg

[Sky]

Walked into the market last night to grab a few things, produce manager points at me and yells 'honeycrisp!'. I cheer and dance.

My fiancee asks me if she should be worried that a big burly guy called me honeycrisp.

I just like that my supermarket is dialed in to what I'm looking for, saves a lot of time. He went in the back and pulled out a case for me.

As far as pound signs, what should be the symbol for my 5# sledge? Tweet a tw@.

[Draegan]

I got this press release in my inbox this morning.  I laughed.

[Signe]

I've been there.  I can't think of anything to say about it and I'm really trying.  I think they have some sausages and a cinema.

[Lantyssa]

To be fair, I don't think your current boss knows there's even an A/C in that room...  But your previous boss should have set all the servers to shutdown on overheat.

I'm surprised he knows where the server room is...

(It's adjacent to the guy's office.)

[Yegolev]

When society collapses, I'll really miss things like paying my insurance online.  Although I suppose I won't have traditional insurance at that point.

[Tale]

Al-Jazeera has an awesome new name for Mexico (see the map).

[Cyrrex]

I just gave the Heimlich to a girl at work that was choking.  Fucking trippy.

[IainC]

She was choking while fucking Trippy? Are you sure that was the Heimlich manoeuvre?

[Cyrrex]

Well, I wouldn't have minded giving her the naked version of the Heimlich manoeuvre, but there were far too many bystanders.

[RhyssaFireheart]

Hahaha!  Glad I'm not the only one who thought that. :D

BTW, I LOVE Autumn weather!  It's only going to be 60 here today, and it was down in the 50s last night.  Perfect sleeping weather!  Just toss an extra blanket on the bed and snuggle in.  Cool enough for a sweater but you can get by without a jacket.  Ahhh. 

[Draegan]

Does anyone know of a decent piece of software that I can use that can take the sound coming from a browser (like the sound from a Youtube Video) and be able to divert that into a program like Virtual Audio Cables?

[Samwise]

There are "youtube to mp3" websites out there where you can enter a YouTube URL and have it give you an MP3 download...

[Draegan]

I need the video and audio intact for a stream.

Wow.  That's crazy.  We had a kid that was sitting right next to us at a restaurant start choking the last time we went to Disney.  His dad got him up and did the Heimlich on him.  I'm not sure it was 100% warranted, but it got me nervous as hell.

There is also stuff to save it as a flv, if you can import that. Otherwise, you can work with the flv locally to figure something out. There's a reason companies get pissy about content on youtube, if you can see it, you can rip it.

Next you'll tell me you need it in 3D.  Go on, I can take it.

[Lantyssa]

He needs it in 3-D.

[Draegan]

I don't want to have to download anything though.  Here's my set up:

Skype Video Conference where everyone dials in.  My Skype Camera is my Xsplit feed.  
My Xsplit feed has a few items on it.
1) Desktop area that has a youtube video playing in it.
2) Other areas for cameras.

Essentially people can see my feed, and hear each other, but they can not hear the sound coming out of xsplit's video area.  I can channel my speakers into xsplit's feed, but then they get an echo in Skype.

I want to be able to channel my Microphone and the Youtube video directly into my feed so that it goes to Skype so my co-hosts can hear the video feed live.

When you broadcast/local record all sounds are recorded so the viewer doesn't know the difference.  In the end it's not a big deal, but it would be nice to have sound inside the conference.

edit:
Sam, I want to be able to open youtube videos on the fly instead of playing them locally over a feed.

[Salamok]

Is the echo just a speaker feedback over the mike issue?  Can you eliminate the speaker component and use headphones.

I'm amazed every time one of my account managers comes by and asks me if I can rip stuff from Youtube for a client to use in a presentation or something. They get a bit pissy when I remind them that technically, that's against the law and people could get fined for it. It's even funnier when the client is a law firm with an Intellectual Property division.

It sounds to me like either Skype or Xsplit is making this unnecessarily difficult (by separating the video and audio, which sounds like clownshoes buggy behavior) and you should use something else.
