| [09:41:40] | <mstenta> | hi andygraybeal! |
| [09:41:47] | <andygraybeal> | heya mstenta |
| [09:41:54] | <mstenta> | what is "peening"? :-) |
| [09:42:09] | <mstenta> | and how was oeffa? |
| [09:42:28] | <andygraybeal> | peening sharpening a scythe blade, hitting it with a hammer |
| [09:43:25] | <andygraybeal> | i can't focus on any of the workshops, so i didn't go. i watched my kid and had a good time. i tried to connect with as many people as i could, which was interesting. it's not something i've done often. |
| [09:43:37] | <andygraybeal> | i talked to some hoophouse guy, and that was cool |
| [09:44:00] | <andygraybeal> | there's money the state gov may give us if we can figure out the forms for a hightunnel |
| [09:46:02] | <andygraybeal> | i met the owner of grower's tools... leonid. and we talked. i'm going to start doing work for him as a wholesale sales person to other retailers in this region of the US. so that is kind of cool |
| [09:46:39] | <andygraybeal> | and there's some seed i'm hoping to get before the end of february .. and the seed guy was there at a booth. |
| [09:47:08] | <andygraybeal> | i guess i should have ordered cover crop before a few months from january. |
| [09:47:33] | <andygraybeal> | oh well.. i'll be better prepared for next year then. |
| [10:15:18] | <andygraybeal> | mstenta, how was the conference that you went to? |
| [10:15:39] | <andygraybeal> | farmer's are really cool |
| [10:15:42] | <mstenta> | oh hey! haha sorry i didn't see your messages (my IRC comment only makes a sound when my name is in the message) |
| [10:15:49] | <mstenta> | IRC client* |
| [10:15:56] | <andygraybeal> | i'll try to remember to mention your name, sorry |
| [10:16:08] | <mstenta> | sounds like it was a good time overall! |
| [10:16:39] | <mstenta> | andygraybeal: the conference i went to in early Jan was great! |
| [10:16:51] | <mstenta> | Massachusettes NOFA winter conference |
| [10:17:11] | <mstenta> | my presentation on open source farming was well received |
| [10:17:19] | <mstenta> | and i went to a great talk afterwards about forest farming |
| [10:17:29] | <mstenta> | (shiitakes, maple syrup, etc) |
| [10:25:27] | <andygraybeal> | nice |
| [10:25:45] | <andygraybeal> | that sounds like what i would be able to do on my place.. shiitakes and maple syrup |
| [10:26:28] | <andygraybeal> | are there any farms using farmos? |
| [10:28:45] | <andygraybeal> | i just fired up a ubuntu 14.04 linode, instead of my 12.04 - i'll load up farmos on that since i know i can get it to work on 14.04 |
| [10:29:14] | <andygraybeal> | i at least want to see if i can have a seed inventory with it. |
| [10:33:23] | <andygraybeal> | mstenta, sorry to mention your nick |
| [10:34:00] | <mstenta> | hey, yea there are a few small beta tester farms using it now |
| [10:34:08] | <mstenta> | inventory management is still in the works, though |
| [10:34:23] | <andygraybeal> | ok |
| [10:34:34] | <mstenta> | one guy is trying to use it for certification in new hampshire... looking forward to hearing how that goes :-) |
| [10:34:39] | <andygraybeal> | thank you for your efforts!! |
| [10:35:09] | <andygraybeal> | i know a organic certifier person |
| [10:35:14] | <andygraybeal> | one lives in our area |
| [10:35:21] | <andygraybeal> | i wonder if he will hear about that news |
| [10:40:04] | <mstenta> | that would be neat1 |
| [10:47:51] | <andygraybeal> | do you think that in the future, this app could hook up to the milk producing equipment used by certifiers? |
| [10:48:00] | <andygraybeal> | milk testing equipment i mean |
| [10:51:23] | <andygraybeal> | to manage information on many farms |
| [10:51:29] | <andygraybeal> | that would be cool |
| [11:12:39] | <mstenta> | sure |
| [11:12:49] | <mstenta> | that's the goal! :-) |
| [13:03:34] | <andygraybeal> | yea, it's exciting to think about |
