Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/18/2008 4:26:23 PM): i was just commenting on how complete and lengthy it is
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/18/2008 4:26:33 PM): that should cover all my questions for the gdr
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/18/2008 4:26:44 PM): almost everything is in there
Graham Bradner (3/18/2008 4:27:37 PM): Excellent. I agree, it is lengthy – its got some useless pieces in it, but overall it’s pretty comprehensive.
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/18/2008 4:28:37 PM): yea, instead of bugging you, I can refer to this document for most things. i will probably need to talk with you about any issues that have or will come up during drilling though
———————————————–

Graham Bradner (3/18/2008 4:30:44 PM): You should be involved as you can be. As your time allows. Talk with me whenever you need to.

Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/10/2008 1:31:43 PM): do we have to respond to DWR comments on lab testing, or just adjust
Graham Bradner x4577 (7/10/2008 1:33:27 PM): Consult Ani – I’m not sure. It would depend on the nature of the comment.
Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/10/2008 1:33:35 PM): okay

Graham Bradner x4577 (7/28/2008 5:20:22 PM): Graham Bradner x4577 logged out at 5:20:22 PM.
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/30/2008 9:28:43 AM): hey graham
Graham Bradner x4577 (7/30/2008 9:28:52 AM): yep?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/30/2008 9:29:07 AM): is it okay to delete all of the old saved versions of the SGDR?
Graham Bradner x4577 (7/30/2008 9:29:42 AM): I would keep one backup version – probably the most recent before you combined the documents
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/30/2008 11:01:24 AM): SGDR ready
———————————————–

Graham Bradner x4577 (7/30/2008 11:26:24 AM): Can you search through the docs and come with mileage for the ring levee and panhandle? I think it should be something like 7.6 miles for ring and 3.4 for panhandle, but I’m not sure.
Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/30/2008 11:26:34 AM): yes
Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/30/2008 11:26:42 AM): i saw that in PGDR and PGER
Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/30/2008 11:26:55 AM): give me one sec
Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/30/2008 11:28:41 AM): from PGER…
Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/30/2008 11:28:42 AM): The Marysville levee system consists of three segments for this evaluation: Units 1, 2 and 3. Total length of the three levee segments is approximately 11.5 miles, including roughly 7.6 miles of levee surrounding the city of Marysville and 3.9 miles of levees known as the panhandle, aligned southwest-northeast along State Highway 20 (see Figures 1 and 2). At some locations, spur levees extend into the Yuba River from the main levee system. These spur levees divert flow and river currents away from the main levees.
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/8/2008 11:55:26 AM): the PDF Edit version of the Figures for GEI ITR have the replaced name for M17 — should be M16, and the other M16 is crossed out.
Graham Bradner x4577 (8/8/2008 11:55:53 AM): correct
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/8/2008 11:56:12 AM): yea, the new version (Edit) has that
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/8/2008 12:11:27 PM): the P1 exploration summary is n the SGDR Table 4-1.xls for right now. I basically assumed the same stationing for the wells as the associated borings (001M-008M). I am not sure of the drilling type?
Graham Bradner x4577 (8/8/2008 12:12:01 PM): They were installed in sonic borings.
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/13/2008 11:18:38 AM): hey graham
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/13/2008 11:18:54 AM): the hammer energy efficiency tests
Graham Bradner x4577 (8/13/2008 11:18:55 AM): yep?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/13/2008 11:19:07 AM): were conducted on drilling rigs that used automatic hammers, correct?
Graham Bradner x4577 (8/13/2008 11:19:15 AM): correct
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/13/2008 11:19:17 AM): and there was a seventh rig
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/13/2008 11:19:24 AM): which used?
Graham Bradner x4577 (8/13/2008 11:20:11 AM): the Rhino M-5 track rig had a percussion hammer – doesn’t produce blow counts- only used on piezo installation
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/13/2008 3:35:57 PM): hey. can i start printing the appendices?
Graham Bradner x4577 (8/13/2008 3:36:10 PM): Yes
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2008 3:50:31 PM): do u want me to accept these changes; or keep track of my new ones

———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2008 4:23:36 PM): from Claudio’s memo…
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2008 4:23:37 PM): The P1GDR and SGDR text will include a discussion that the consistency is based upon field measurements or lab data only.
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2008 4:24:02 PM): do we have that?
Graham Bradner x4577 (8/21/2008 4:24:32 PM): I don’t think we say that – go ahead and add it if you have a place in mind.
———————————————–

Graham Bradner x4577 (8/22/2008 11:45:10 AM): How do I turn off the line numbers in the margin?

———————————————–

Graham Bradner x4577 (9/5/2008 2:22:00 PM): I did not modify it since earlier today. I needed to print out a copy.
Jeffrey Wisniewski (9/5/2008 2:22:05 PM): ok
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (9/5/2008 4:37:52 PM): we’re not sending 2-1 through 2-7 to URS for this submittal, correct?
Graham Bradner x4577 (9/5/2008 4:38:42 PM): I believe Karen already provided those figure templates to URS – hopefully they will include them in the SGDR. Karen just needs to provide an updated database, if needed.
Jeffrey Wisniewski (9/5/2008 4:39:39 PM): but i should remove reference to those figures in the text
Graham Bradner x4577 (9/5/2008 4:40:04 PM): No, not yet. They may still be included.
Jeffrey Wisniewski (9/5/2008 4:40:07 PM): ok

Jeffrey Wisniewski (9/16/2008 10:47:39 AM): the katrina devastation tour was interesting
Jeffrey Wisniewski (9/16/2008 10:47:49 AM): pretty much, it was all the Corps fault
Graham Bradner x4577 (9/16/2008 10:48:08 AM): interesting – who’s opinion was that?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (9/16/2008 10:48:36 AM): the Geologist who gave us the tour — a professor at Tulane
Graham Bradner x4577 (9/16/2008 10:48:37 AM): I’ve heard the Corps take some responsibility for the failures down there
Graham Bradner x4577 (9/16/2008 10:49:18 AM): there may be some additional affiliations between the University and State – it would make sense to blame the Corps
Jeffrey Wisniewski (9/16/2008 10:49:36 AM): yea, he said as much, but he was suggesting that USACE was only taking half the blame, etc.
Jeffrey Wisniewski (9/16/2008 10:49:41 AM): yea, i could see he was biased
Jeffrey Wisniewski (9/16/2008 10:49:52 AM): but it was interesting nonetheless

Graham Bradner x4577 (9/16/2008 10:52:14 AM): what did they think?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (9/16/2008 10:52:15 AM): but i don’t think th etour guide cared

Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/27/2008 12:29:16 PM): i am in OAK
Bruce Valles (IT) (3/27/2008 12:30:02 PM): I’ll shoot you a message if I find the problem and clear it up. It’s probably someone either downloading files or something from the internet, checking our network devices now
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/27/2008 12:30:21 PM): okay
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (4/1/2008 2:16:16 PM): hey bruce

Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/9/2008 10:42:01 AM): im having a hard time accessing Sac server
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/9/2008 10:42:15 AM): okay, thank you
Bruce Valles (IT) (5/9/2008 10:50:36 AM): Jeff, so far I’m not seeing any problems on either end, both servers and networks look like they have normal useage, can you test internet to see if you have problems with other network resources, you may have a patch coming down that is causing your slowdown as well.
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/9/2008 10:51:04 AM): what is a patch?
Bruce Valles (IT) (5/9/2008 10:51:25 AM): Updates for windows or other programs you may have installed that use background patching services
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/9/2008 10:51:45 AM): google works fine
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/9/2008 10:51:56 AM): i keep getting “that directory does not exist

Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/9/2008 10:52:28 AM): i need to refresh
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/9/2008 10:52:47 AM): it is taking me several mins to connect to Sac server
Bruce Valles (IT) (5/9/2008 10:52:56 AM): which directory?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/9/2008 10:53:07 AM): DWR/General Project
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/9/2008 10:53:24 AM): now it has connected
Bruce Valles (IT) (5/9/2008 10:54:10 AM): ok speeds just jumped up between sites, I’ll keep checking, looks like a network issue on at&t’s side
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/9/2008 10:54:24 AM): yea, it is quicker now
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/9/2008 10:54:31 AM): thank you

Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/28/2008 11:47:17 AM): i had a request
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/28/2008 11:47:32 AM): i was hoping to get a usb hub for my laptop
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/28/2008 11:47:39 AM): i’ve run out of ports
Bruce Valles (IT) (5/28/2008 11:48:50 AM): Sure no problem, are you in Sac or in Oakland this week? I’m visiting Oakland tomorrow and can bring one with me.
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/28/2008 11:49:26 AM): great. i am in OAK, but will be in SAC tomorrow. could you leave it in my “office” on the 2nd floor, maybe in the drawer.
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/28/2008 11:49:33 AM): how many ports does it provide?
Bruce Valles (IT) (5/28/2008 11:50:19 AM): Usually they have 4 ports but we can get one with more if needed. Will you travel with it or leave it at your desk?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/28/2008 11:51:37 AM): I think the four plus two (the other ports on my laptop) is adequate, and I’d probably like to travel with it.
Bruce Valles (IT) (5/28/2008 11:52:49 AM): Ok, I’ll find something that will work best and either bring it with me or have it ordered and shipped to you this week. I’ll message you a link with the model before hand to double check.
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/28/2008 11:53:21 AM): great
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/28/2008 11:53:25 AM): thank you

Bruce Valles (IT) (6/20/2008 9:11:49 AM): which server the oak serv?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/20/2008 9:11:56 AM): SAC
Bruce Valles (IT) (6/20/2008 9:12:05 AM): let me check the line conditions, one minute
———————————————–

Bruce Valles (IT) (6/20/2008 9:29:22 AM): Hi Jeff, sorry for the delay, it looks like a few users here are using some of the pipeline, it may ease up in a bit. I’ll monitor it and see if I can get a few to change their download/upload times for files.
Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/20/2008 9:29:50 AM): pipeline?
Bruce Valles (IT) (6/20/2008 9:29:55 AM): I’ll also note the problem and bring it up as the IT dept talks about network upgrades for the next year, this is going to be an ongoing problem
Bruce Valles (IT) (6/20/2008 9:30:04 AM): the network connections between the offices
Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/20/2008 9:30:08 AM): oh
Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/20/2008 9:30:18 AM): and me moving a file from SAC isn’t helping
Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/20/2008 9:30:25 AM): either
Bruce Valles (IT) (6/20/2008 9:31:07 AM): you should be able to do that though, our lines are just not fast enough for the amount of users and data we are sending, but hopefully soon we’ll have some upgrades to the network to speed things up
Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/20/2008 9:32:23 AM): coo
Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/20/2008 9:32:25 AM): cool
Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/20/2008 9:32:28 AM): thank you
———————————————–

Bruce Valles (IT) (6/20/2008 9:33:11 AM): no problem, also FYI, looks like someone in Ontario is also pulling a file off the sac server, that will slow you both down for a bit
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/23/2008 4:47:15 PM): having trouble logging in to Novell…
Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/23/2008 4:47:16 PM): Authenticating to server OAKSRV.

Bruce Valles (IT) (6/23/2008 4:48:12 PM): that’s odd, but I’ve noticed some slow logins today, can you try a restart of your computer and see how it goes after that. I’m going to check the network room to see if there’s a problem on the switch
Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/23/2008 4:48:22 PM): okay

Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/23/2008 4:57:37 PM): it creates an endless loop
Bruce Valles (IT) (6/23/2008 5:00:45 PM): Jeff, try it again now
Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/23/2008 5:01:09 PM): success
Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/23/2008 5:01:16 PM): thank you
Bruce Valles (IT) (6/23/2008 5:01:36 PM): ok good, the network optomizer was causing the problem, we turned it off for now until it’s repaired.

Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/29/2008 9:45:17 AM): internet is sloooow
Bruce Valles (IT) (7/29/2008 9:45:37 AM): yeah I’m just checking on it now, looks pretty bad, give me a few minutes and I’ll see if we can make some adjustments

Bruce Valles (IT) (8/20/2008 4:12:13 PM): you may need to reboot after install
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/20/2008 4:12:24 PM): the entire folder?

Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/20/2008 4:13:20 PM): it ran; didn’t ask to reboot
Bruce Valles (IT) (8/20/2008 4:13:35 PM): ok no worries then, after reboot the current driver should be installed
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/20/2008 4:14:02 PM): ok
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/20/2008 4:14:04 PM): thank you
Bruce Valles (IT) (8/20/2008 4:14:09 PM): no prob
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/20/2008 4:14:13 PM): i’ll check to see if that solves the issue
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (9/23/2008 3:07:52 PM): hey bruce
Bruce Valles (IT) (9/23/2008 3:08:01 PM): Hi Jeff
Jeffrey Wisniewski (9/23/2008 3:08:05 PM): could you give babi a call at x2304
Jeffrey Wisniewski (9/23/2008 3:08:11 PM): he needs help installing GeoStudio
Jeffrey Wisniewski (9/23/2008 3:08:14 PM): latest version
Jeffrey Wisniewski (9/23/2008 3:08:21 PM): he says he doesn’t know how to do it
Bruce Valles (IT) (9/23/2008 3:08:22 PM): ok
Jeffrey Wisniewski (9/23/2008 3:08:31 PM): i think he needs to download from the website and install
Bruce Valles (IT) (9/23/2008 3:08:40 PM): we should have it on the network but I’ll check
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/2/2008 4:48:23 PM): why does GroupWise messenger act-up so often?
Bruce Valles (IT) (10/2/2008 4:48:39 PM): are you working wireless?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/2/2008 4:48:42 PM): no
Bruce Valles (IT) (10/2/2008 4:48:52 PM): it may drop a lot on wireless connections… or are you seeing people log on and off?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/2/2008 4:48:55 PM): it keeps giving me errors if i create folders
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/2/2008 4:49:05 PM): or drag contacts to different folders
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/2/2008 4:49:26 PM): error code 0xd10e
Bruce Valles (IT) (10/2/2008 4:49:29 PM): oh, yeah I’ve seen that, you may need to reinstall it over the top of itself, it’s a quirky program, let me check if the installer is on your server
Bruce Valles (IT) (10/2/2008 4:54:30 PM): I’m copying over a new version of the messenger client, I’ll let you know when it’s on your server and you can do a reinstall to see if it fixes up the problem, you should be able to install it over the existing version.
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/2/2008 4:54:53 PM): okay
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/2/2008 4:54:55 PM): thank you
———————————————–

Bruce Valles (IT) (10/2/2008 5:00:11 PM): Jeff the install is available now, on your server APPS drive (Q) in the groupwise messenger folder. Run the Setup.exe file and choose the defaults.
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/2/2008 5:00:54 PM): great
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/2/2008 5:02:14 PM): My Apps drive is N
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/2/2008 5:02:29 PM): for OAK
Bruce Valles (IT) (10/2/2008 5:02:31 PM): ah ok, lol… we need to get the offices in sync for that
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/2/2008 5:02:52 PM): is that the same Setuo.exe though?
Bruce Valles (IT) (10/2/2008 5:02:58 PM): yeah
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/2/2008 5:05:03 PM): it looks like it is working better
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/2/2008 5:05:06 PM): thank you
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/9/2008 3:30:00 PM): server is slow
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/9/2008 3:30:18 PM): trying to right-click a file — minute or two delay response
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/9/2008 3:30:27 PM): in OAK, working on SAC
Bruce Valles (10/9/2008 3:30:43 PM): yeah we have some users here downloading their email files so it’s slowing all traffic down
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/9/2008 3:36:38 PM): i might as well go home
———————————————–

Bruce Valles (10/9/2008 3:37:54 PM): it’s a little slow right now, might be throughout the day but should clear up by tomorrow as the downloads completed
Bruce Valles (10/9/2008 3:37:57 PM): complete*
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/9/2008 3:38:46 PM): ok
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/10/2008 12:02:04 PM): not much better today
Bruce Valles (10/10/2008 12:02:30 PM): yeah unfortunately another user is replicating their mail file today so that’s causing the same slowdown, sorry
Bruce Valles (10/10/2008 12:02:49 PM): we’re in talks with our lawyers to expedite our network change/contract change to a new carrier
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/10/2008 12:03:05 PM): thats good
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/20/2008 9:53:45 AM): hey bruce
Bruce Valles (10/20/2008 9:53:57 AM): Hi Jeff
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/20/2008 9:54:40 AM): i think that all of my wireless issues are machine based
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/20/2008 9:54:45 AM): for example
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/20/2008 9:54:55 AM): i cannot even see any wireless connections available
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/20/2008 9:55:02 AM): at home, or even at work
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/20/2008 9:55:13 AM): when there were a handful of two “available” before
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/20/2008 9:55:18 AM): (a few months ago)
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/20/2008 9:55:47 AM): and each time i start up my computer, the wireless card is switched to “Off”
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/20/2008 9:56:06 AM): and even after i turn it on, i still see no available networks
Bruce Valles (10/20/2008 9:58:22 AM): are you in Oak or Sac today?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/20/2008 9:58:55 AM): Sac
Bruce Valles (10/20/2008 9:59:29 AM): ok let me stop by later on and I’ll take a look, might be time to move you onto a new laptop but I’ll talk options with you, new models are coming out soon you may want to wait for
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/20/2008 10:04:50 AM): oh wait, I am in OAK today
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/20/2008 10:04:57 AM): that was a reflex response
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/20/2008 10:05:02 AM): (not a good sign)
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/20/2008 10:05:14 AM): i will be in Sac tomorrow
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/20/2008 10:05:20 AM): we can talk then
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/20/2008 10:05:23 AM): ?
Bruce Valles (10/20/2008 10:07:30 AM): ah ok sounds good
Bruce Valles (10/20/2008 10:08:06 AM): just call or send a message when you have time tomorrow and I’ll check some things on your laptop but I think you are due for an upgrade, I’ll get info on the new model
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/20/2008 10:09:14 AM): great
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/20/2008 10:09:17 AM): thanks a lot
———————————————–

Bruce Valles (10/20/2008 10:09:29 AM): no prob
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/20/2008 11:35:25 AM): hey bruce, random question
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/20/2008 11:35:40 AM): do you have any recommendations on cable modems?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/20/2008 11:35:50 AM): Motorola, Linksys, Netgera
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/20/2008 11:35:55 AM): *Netgear
Bruce Valles (10/20/2008 11:36:11 AM): I’ve used comcast for the past 7 years and the motorola modem has been the best for me
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/20/2008 11:36:26 AM): Surfboard 5100
Bruce Valles (10/20/2008 11:36:34 AM): the others are fine as well, but comcast seems to be using the motorola brand lately
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/20/2008 11:36:49 AM): i think Comcast requires the pre-purchase of one
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/20/2008 11:36:57 AM): (in lieu of renting it for $3/month)
Bruce Valles (10/20/2008 11:37:05 AM): ah yeah
Bruce Valles (10/20/2008 11:37:10 AM): yeah that’s the model I have from them now
Bruce Valles (10/20/2008 11:37:18 AM): it works really well for me
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/20/2008 11:37:25 AM): cool; thanks
Bruce Valles (10/20/2008 11:37:36 AM): no problem
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/20/2008 11:48:05 AM): i just called comcast, and they said that they would install the lynisys c100 for the $3/month fee. i would rather buy one then pay $3/mo. for the rest of my life. would you recommend the Motorola over the Linksys?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/20/2008 11:48:31 AM): Does it matter (or would it work any better) if i have a linksys wireless router?
———————————————–

Bruce Valles (10/20/2008 12:23:50 PM): sorry was away. Linksys is a good brand. The good thing about dealing with their modem is that if it goes bad, you can just swap it at one of their offices for a new one. If you use yours they will always try to hassle you about it for support or you will have to buy another one down the road to replace it if you have a hardware failure.
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/21/2008 2:19:37 PM): hey, are you available?
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/21/2008 2:43:41 PM): … to take a look at my weird wireless settings situation?
Bruce Valles (10/21/2008 2:45:12 PM): Hi Jeff, sorry just got back to desk, give me a couple minutes and I’ll stop by to take a look
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/21/2008 2:45:55 PM): ok, i can bring my laptop up
Bruce Valles (10/21/2008 2:46:11 PM): I’ll stop by so I can do some reboots and test easier
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/21/2008 2:46:18 PM): ok
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/23/2008 3:40:43 PM): is network slow today?
Bruce Valles (10/23/2008 3:40:56 PM): it was earlier, can be hit or miss
Bruce Valles (10/23/2008 3:41:02 PM): let me check though
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/23/2008 3:41:25 PM): having slow reaction
Bruce Valles (10/23/2008 3:41:42 PM): what site are you going to?
Bruce Valles (10/23/2008 3:41:53 PM): looks like someone is downloading a file from an ftp server
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/23/2008 3:42:00 PM): ok
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/23/2008 3:42:07 PM): this has been all afternoon
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/23/2008 3:42:16 PM): just opening small XLS on server
Bruce Valles (10/23/2008 3:42:34 PM): ah that should be faster, are they Oakland server files or Sacramento?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/23/2008 3:42:44 PM): Sac
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/23/2008 3:43:00 PM): thirty seconds to open 47kb spreadsheet
Bruce Valles (10/23/2008 3:43:12 PM): your on 2nd floor today yeah?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/23/2008 3:43:17 PM): yes
Bruce Valles (10/23/2008 3:43:25 PM): ok let me check servers, one sec
Bruce Valles (10/23/2008 3:47:15 PM): can you check the speed now Jeff
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/23/2008 3:49:37 PM): slow
Bruce Valles (10/23/2008 3:49:42 PM): ok
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/23/2008 4:08:07 PM): its weird, navigating folders is quick, but opening spreadsheets is slow; opeing PDF was no problem
Bruce Valles (10/23/2008 4:16:49 PM): Jeff so far the server looks ok, where the file located you are having problems with, I can test open it on my machine
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/23/2008 4:17:59 PM): maybe i need to restart
Bruce Valles (10/23/2008 4:18:21 PM): yeah you can try that and see how the file opens after logging back in
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/23/2008 4:21:15 PM): can you open up these spreadsheets…
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/23/2008 4:21:18 PM): \\\172.21.201.4\data\WR\DWR\Project\URS-Geo Lev Invst\064590 TO26 Marysville Phase 2&3\GER Analysis\1292+09\Seepage
Bruce Valles (10/23/2008 4:21:57 PM): one sec
Bruce Valles (10/23/2008 4:24:17 PM): I’m able to open them ok
Bruce Valles (10/23/2008 4:24:31 PM): you might be having problems with the network and authentication, one sec
Bruce Valles (10/23/2008 4:27:05 PM): You access that shortcut through network places?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/23/2008 4:27:31 PM): what do you mean?
Bruce Valles (10/23/2008 4:28:05 PM): where are you clicking to access the sacramento server? is it a shortcut in network neighborhood or a mapped drive in my computer?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/23/2008 4:28:53 PM): i am not sure
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/23/2008 4:29:05 PM): I have folders saved in my Favorites in Explorer
Bruce Valles (10/23/2008 4:29:11 PM): ok
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/23/2008 4:29:17 PM): in Metwork Places, I see Sac folders
Bruce Valles (10/23/2008 4:29:23 PM): ok
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/31/2008 8:56:11 AM): hey, i’m in Sac, and the server response is slow
Bruce Valles (10/31/2008 8:56:27 AM): to the sacramento server?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/31/2008 8:56:45 AM): yea
Bruce Valles (10/31/2008 8:57:20 AM): ok let me take a look, so far things are opening ok for me but could be a problem on the connection to 2nd floor
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/31/2008 9:04:25 AM): no one else down here seems to think it is slow
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/31/2008 9:04:37 AM): i’m having thirty second response to Excel Spreadsheets
Bruce Valles (10/31/2008 9:04:51 AM): you may have some overhead due to your oakland server connection, try restarting your laptop and see if this clears it up
Bruce Valles (10/31/2008 9:05:04 AM): it’s probably doing background connections to the oakland server
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/31/2008 9:05:17 AM): ok
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/31/2008 9:19:28 AM): much, much faster
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/31/2008 9:19:32 AM): thank you
Bruce Valles (10/31/2008 9:19:57 AM): that’s good, there’s some bad network setups with novell that we will get rid of when we move to the windows network over the next 9 months
Bruce Valles (10/31/2008 9:20:12 AM): sacramento and oakland will be early on the list
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/31/2008 9:20:38 AM): it sucks to have to shut down when you get so much up-and-going
Bruce Valles (10/31/2008 9:21:13 AM): yeah this novell network is out of date and isn’t performing very well with our newer tech
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/31/2008 3:48:53 PM): what is the difference between a router and a switch?
Bruce Valles (10/31/2008 3:52:41 PM): a router acts as a gateway for several machines behind it, routing traffic and requests, it also acts like a switch behind it’s firewall
Bruce Valles (10/31/2008 3:53:04 PM): a switch is just a device that allows direct connected computers to talk to each other, it won’t route traffic to the internet or back
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/31/2008 3:54:32 PM): do ethernet splitters reduce bandwidth?
Bruce Valles (10/31/2008 3:54:50 PM): sounds like they just allow you to share a connection
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/31/2008 3:56:06 PM): thank you
Bruce Valles (10/31/2008 3:56:13 PM): no problem
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/4/2008 2:22:46 PM): hey bruce, is there a knot in the internet connection?
Bruce Valles (11/4/2008 2:23:13 PM): it’s really slow right now, but looks like it’s outside our line’s, probably because of the election coverage
Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/4/2008 2:23:21 PM): oh wow
Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/4/2008 2:23:29 PM): too much high-def streaming
Bruce Valles (11/4/2008 2:23:49 PM): yeah lots of sites are having a hard time
Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/4/2008 2:24:36 PM): oh btw, if you ever see me log-in or off Groupwise Messenger, it is becase “Server Is Not Responding”
Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/4/2008 2:24:43 PM): I thas been happening twice a day
Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/4/2008 2:24:54 PM): *it has
Bruce Valles (11/4/2008 2:25:00 PM): is it at a certain time or different each time?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/4/2008 2:25:18 PM): no, randomly
Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/4/2008 2:25:25 PM): or seemingly so
———————————————–

Bruce Valles (11/4/2008 2:27:30 PM): ok thanks, I’ll mention it to the rest of the IT dept and we’ll check on the server side

GroupWise Messenger Conversation History for Bryan Scott

Jeffrey Wisniewski (2/27/2008 2:37:32 PM): hey bryan
Bryan Scott (2/27/2008 2:37:51 PM): hey Jeff
Bryan Scott (2/27/2008 2:38:02 PM): still looking into the spreadsheet
Jeffrey Wisniewski (2/27/2008 2:38:03 PM): any luck with re-tooling that XLS
Jeffrey Wisniewski (2/27/2008 2:38:06 PM): okay
Bryan Scott (2/27/2008 2:38:26 PM): I kinda want to rewrite a few things
Jeffrey Wisniewski (2/27/2008 2:38:31 PM): we had a UTexas training session this morning for staff
Jeffrey Wisniewski (2/27/2008 2:38:37 PM): it went over alright
Bryan Scott (2/27/2008 2:38:57 PM): so anybody in Oakland can now run UTEXAS right?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (2/27/2008 2:38:59 PM): okay
Jeffrey Wisniewski (2/27/2008 2:39:02 PM): haha
Jeffrey Wisniewski (2/27/2008 2:39:12 PM): actually, anyone in Sac can
Bryan Scott (2/27/2008 2:39:21 PM): Can I rewrite things this afternoon?
Bryan Scott (2/27/2008 2:39:25 PM): Are you in Sac?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (2/27/2008 2:39:26 PM): yes
Jeffrey Wisniewski (2/27/2008 2:39:28 PM): yes
Jeffrey Wisniewski (2/27/2008 2:39:53 PM): x4544 in Sax
Bryan Scott (2/27/2008 2:39:54 PM): I’ll get it back to you by early a.m. tomorrow then
Jeffrey Wisniewski (2/27/2008 2:39:56 PM): Sac
Jeffrey Wisniewski (2/27/2008 2:39:58 PM): cool
Bryan Scott (2/27/2008 2:40:18 PM): there is a little room for ambiguity in the spreadsheet
Bryan Scott (2/27/2008 2:40:25 PM): that’s what caused the other problem
Jeffrey Wisniewski (2/27/2008 2:40:38 PM): oh
Bryan Scott (2/27/2008 2:40:43 PM): I want to remove all ambiguity and put some error handling in the spreadsheet
Jeffrey Wisniewski (2/27/2008 2:41:00 PM): okay, well take your time, and lock it as necessary.
Bryan Scott (2/27/2008 2:41:09 PM): yeah
Bryan Scott (2/27/2008 2:41:16 PM): i’ll create a true template
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (2/29/2008 11:46:51 AM): nice work with the spreadsheet
Jeffrey Wisniewski (2/29/2008 11:47:04 AM): i am going to start working through the results
Bryan Scott (2/29/2008 11:47:06 AM): thanks
Jeffrey Wisniewski (2/29/2008 11:47:17 AM): and i will let you know if anything comes up with the calcs
Bryan Scott (2/29/2008 11:47:17 AM): did you try to break it at all?
Bryan Scott (2/29/2008 11:47:23 AM): sounds good
Bryan Scott (2/29/2008 11:47:41 AM): emilie mentioned something about a cut and paste issue
Jeffrey Wisniewski (2/29/2008 11:47:55 AM): with it being locked?
Bryan Scott (2/29/2008 11:48:01 AM): i imagine paste-special-values will work
Bryan Scott (2/29/2008 11:48:05 AM): i don’t think so
Bryan Scott (2/29/2008 11:48:20 AM): she hasn’t used the spreadsheet much at all, so it may be a non-issue
Bryan Scott (2/29/2008 11:48:26 AM): i’ll look into it
Jeffrey Wisniewski (2/29/2008 11:48:44 AM): okay. i will let you know as well
Bryan Scott (2/29/2008 11:49:04 AM): sounds good
Bryan Scott (2/29/2008 11:53:48 AM): there were a few other changes from emilie
Bryan Scott (2/29/2008 11:54:11 AM): nothing terribly substantial, but you might want to start with the stuff you could paste into the revised sheet
Bryan Scott (2/29/2008 11:54:21 AM): i’ll have it revised by the end of the day
———————————————–

Bryan Scott (2/29/2008 4:06:16 PM): hey Jeff–
Jeffrey Wisniewski (2/29/2008 4:06:20 PM): hi
Bryan Scott (2/29/2008 4:06:31 PM): what task code are you using for Marysville lab reduction?
Bryan Scott (2/29/2008 4:06:43 PM): I’ll put some of my spreadsheet time there
Jeffrey Wisniewski (2/29/2008 4:07:42 PM): one second
Jeffrey Wisniewski (2/29/2008 4:09:39 PM): 2610 — prepare field and lab data report
Bryan Scott (2/29/2008 4:09:48 PM): sounds good
Bryan Scott (2/29/2008 4:09:49 PM): thanks
———————————————–

Bryan Scott (3/3/2008 8:26:52 AM): Jeff, I’ll be out in Sacramento either thursday or friday, and Ani wanted me to ckeck with you to see if it would be worth meeting on the lab data
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/3/2008 8:27:19 AM): yes, that will be worth it
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/3/2008 8:27:33 AM): i’m going to process the results this week
Bryan Scott (3/3/2008 8:27:39 AM): okay, i’ll let you know which day when my other meeting gets finalized
———————————————–

Bryan Scott (3/3/2008 1:38:31 PM): it looks like my meeting is Friday morning
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/3/2008 1:38:44 PM): okay
Bryan Scott (3/3/2008 1:38:50 PM): I could meet with you Thursday after noon, or Friday after 1:00
Bryan Scott (3/3/2008 1:39:00 PM): whichever is best for you
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/3/2008 1:39:51 PM): let’s do thursday
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/3/2008 1:39:54 PM): hey
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/3/2008 1:40:02 PM): i have 63 sieve spreadsheets
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/3/2008 1:40:34 PM): i need to “copy-paste” from all 63 into the spreadsheet?
Bryan Scott (3/3/2008 1:40:52 PM): there should be some sort of summary sheet
Bryan Scott (3/3/2008 1:41:05 PM): or we should be able to produce such from gINT
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/3/2008 1:41:06 PM): and for the PIs, it will probably be easier to type in from the output, and not copy-paste
Bryan Scott (3/3/2008 1:41:39 PM): I believe we’re getting everything in gINT form from the lab,
Bryan Scott (3/3/2008 1:42:03 PM): so Emilie should be able to get you a spreadsheet output that is in a relatively convinient format
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/3/2008 1:42:10 PM): okay
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/3/2008 1:42:21 PM): i just talked to Emilie, and that has been done
Bryan Scott (3/3/2008 1:42:35 PM): that’s probably your best bet
Bryan Scott (3/3/2008 1:42:42 PM): and Thursday will work
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/3/2008 1:42:45 PM): okay
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/3/2008 1:42:49 PM): thank you
Bryan Scott (3/3/2008 1:43:06 PM): I land at 11:00, so I’ll be in the office at 12 or so
Bryan Scott (3/3/2008 1:43:27 PM): the Sacramento office that is
Bryan Scott (3/3/2008 4:18:20 PM): Bryan Scott logged out at 4:18:20 PM.
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/5/2008 3:11:52 PM): bryan
Bryan Scott (3/5/2008 3:12:02 PM): yeah
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/5/2008 3:12:16 PM): what if the lab tests resulted in NP for “not plastic”
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/5/2008 3:12:19 PM): i have used NA
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/5/2008 3:12:35 PM): but that sometimes says “No Lab Tests for Sample” as a conclusion
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/5/2008 3:12:45 PM): if there was not any sieve data as well
Bryan Scott (3/5/2008 3:13:08 PM): you should be able to enter “NP”
Bryan Scott (3/5/2008 3:13:24 PM): you could in the old version
Bryan Scott (3/5/2008 3:13:34 PM): did i mess it up in the new version?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/5/2008 3:13:36 PM): When I entered “NP” it said “#value”
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/5/2008 3:13:49 PM): i will try again…
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/5/2008 3:14:31 PM): … yea, “#value”
Bryan Scott (3/5/2008 3:15:57 PM): try entering 0 or 1 for PI and LL
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/5/2008 3:16:30 PM): it calcs out with “0” for both
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/5/2008 3:16:39 PM): … calcs out correctly
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/5/2008 3:16:46 PM): i will use 0 for NP then
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/5/2008 3:17:02 PM): thank you
Bryan Scott (3/5/2008 3:17:25 PM): i’ll add that to the instructions and save as the new template as well
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/5/2008 3:18:09 PM): actually, before i emailed you, i checked the instructions.
Bryan Scott (3/5/2008 3:18:54 PM): there’s nothing in there is there?
Bryan Scott (3/5/2008 3:19:07 PM): i swear there used to be, but it looks like i removed it
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/5/2008 3:19:58 PM): yea, but the instructions are real good, is all i mean, when i saw that it wasn’t mentioned, i figured i may have come across a “bug”
———————————————–

Bryan Scott (3/5/2008 3:20:25 PM): i see
———————————————–

Bryan Scott (3/5/2008 3:20:48 PM): i’ll add it in for the future
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/10/2008 3:04:03 PM): hey bryan
Bryan Scott (Denver) (3/10/2008 3:07:42 PM): yeah
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/10/2008 3:08:16 PM): i was looking at triax data and emilie came to tell me you set up a spreadsheet to calculate c and phi.
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/10/2008 3:08:27 PM): i see the final PDF in the Sutter report
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/10/2008 3:08:41 PM): based on stress path
Bryan Scott (Denver) (3/10/2008 3:08:49 PM): it should be the spreadsheet i sent you earlier
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/10/2008 3:08:56 PM): oh
Bryan Scott (Denver) (3/10/2008 3:08:58 PM): the one we went over last week
Bryan Scott (Denver) (3/10/2008 3:09:20 PM): that was stress-path based
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/10/2008 3:09:25 PM): okay
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/10/2008 3:09:31 PM): i remember
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/10/2008 3:09:45 PM): and that is the basis for our tri-linear envelopes as well?
Bryan Scott (Denver) (3/10/2008 3:09:52 PM): is this for presentation in a data report, or for analysis?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/10/2008 3:10:04 PM): i’m working on both
Bryan Scott (Denver) (3/10/2008 3:10:09 PM): for the first portion of the trilinear
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/10/2008 3:10:13 PM): yea
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/10/2008 3:10:21 PM): first part based on phi
Bryan Scott (Denver) (3/10/2008 3:10:26 PM): check with Ani to see if he wants that in the data rpt
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/10/2008 3:10:46 PM): let me re-state that
Bryan Scott (Denver) (3/10/2008 3:10:48 PM): for SJAFCA we are showing absolutely no interpretation of lab data
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/10/2008 3:10:56 PM): we are working on Matrysville GDR
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/10/2008 3:11:07 PM): but I am also looking ahead to Marysville GER
Bryan Scott (Denver) (3/10/2008 3:11:43 PM): for the SJAFCA PGDR we are even stripping the lab’s take on c, phi from the lab reports
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/10/2008 3:12:05 PM): okay, that is what I thought
Bryan Scott (Denver) (3/10/2008 3:12:26 PM): we showed the stress path stuff for marysville and sutter PGDRs though
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/10/2008 3:12:43 PM): right now, we are doing in-house prelim analysis of what we have and what testing we will need for last few holes in P2/P3 investigation
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/10/2008 3:13:05 PM): Vector’s output shows stress paths
Bryan Scott (Denver) (3/10/2008 3:13:09 PM): that data reduction sounds appropriate for that
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/13/2008 10:14:31 AM): hey bryan, you got a moment
Bryan Scott (Denver) (3/13/2008 10:14:46 AM): sure
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/13/2008 10:14:57 AM): the tx reduction…
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/13/2008 10:15:14 AM): are we looking to match the failure envelope with the 5% strain points?
Bryan Scott (Denver) (3/13/2008 10:15:52 AM): pull one up and give me a call 303.440.5237
Bryan Scott (Denver) (3/13/2008 10:55:02 AM): what number are you at?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/13/2008 10:55:13 AM): x4544 in Sac
Bryan Scott (Denver) (3/13/2008 12:02:50 PM): Bryan Scott (Denver) logged out at 12:02:50 PM.
Bryan Scott (Denver) (3/13/2008 12:05:10 PM): Bryan Scott (Denver) logged in at 12:05:10 PM.
———————————————–

Bryan Scott (Denver) (3/13/2008 4:31:44 PM): Jeff, I’m curious: do we have a consol for the TX sample you sent earlier?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/13/2008 4:31:59 PM): one sec
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/13/2008 4:32:30 PM): yes we do
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/13/2008 4:32:45 PM): max past pressue = 12000 psf
Bryan Scott (Denver) (3/13/2008 4:32:56 PM): ok
Bryan Scott (Denver) (3/13/2008 4:33:03 PM): i figured it would be pretty high
Bryan Scott (Denver) (3/13/2008 4:33:06 PM): thanks
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/13/2008 4:33:07 PM): prb explains that
Bryan Scott (Denver) (3/13/2008 4:33:13 PM): yeah
———————————————–

Bryan Scott (Denver) (3/13/2008 4:39:36 PM): it must be cemented; the peak deviator stress from the shear was just over 11000 psf
Bryan Scott (Denver) (3/13/2008 4:40:08 PM): sorry, i had to satisfy my own curiosity
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/13/2008 4:40:22 PM): ha
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/17/2008 10:32:55 AM): hey bryan
Bryan Scott (Denver) (3/17/2008 10:33:05 AM): yeah
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/17/2008 10:33:52 AM): have you guys gone back and edited the “lab description” with the “final description” from the auto-classify xls? meaning, did you go back and edit the lab output files?
Bryan Scott (Denver) (3/17/2008 10:34:38 AM): No
Bryan Scott (Denver) (3/17/2008 10:34:56 AM): My opinion is that we should never edit what the lab gives us
Bryan Scott (Denver) (3/17/2008 10:35:10 AM): emilie raised this question friday as well
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/17/2008 10:35:31 AM): that was my thought
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/17/2008 10:35:42 AM): the lab gives us data and their opinion
Bryan Scott (Denver) (3/17/2008 10:35:49 AM): i think it makes sense to use the new description on the TX reduction sheet, but not on the lab output sheet
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/17/2008 10:35:50 AM): we provide that as “data”
Bryan Scott (Denver) (3/17/2008 10:35:55 AM): yeah
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/17/2008 10:36:43 AM): okay, but update descriptions here-on with the descriptions obtained through the auto-classify review
Bryan Scott (Denver) (3/17/2008 10:37:10 AM): yeah, everything except the “raw” lab data outputs
Jeffrey Wisniewski (3/17/2008 10:38:29 AM): thank you
———————————————–

Bryan Scott (Denver) (3/17/2008 10:38:36 AM): no problem
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (4/18/2008 3:25:03 PM): re: wedge
Jeffrey Wisniewski (4/18/2008 3:25:29 PM): the surfaces move in a step-wise direction
Jeffrey Wisniewski (4/18/2008 3:25:38 PM): they never bounce back
Bryan Scott (Denver) (4/18/2008 3:26:05 PM): is that what it is?
Bryan Scott (Denver) (4/18/2008 3:26:16 PM): that sounds consistent with what i’ve seen
Jeffrey Wisniewski (4/18/2008 3:26:20 PM): the four points move in the same direction
Bryan Scott (Denver) (4/18/2008 3:26:51 PM): so it’s not really a search
Jeffrey Wisniewski (4/18/2008 3:26:54 PM): the program doesn’t calculate combinations of past points, it only contimues making steps in the same direction
Bryan Scott (Denver) (4/18/2008 3:27:08 PM): it’s more of follow a vector until the FS goes down once
Jeffrey Wisniewski (4/18/2008 3:27:18 PM): yes, it is crude, at best
Bryan Scott (Denver) (4/18/2008 3:27:31 PM): that scares me
Jeffrey Wisniewski (4/18/2008 3:27:33 PM): yes
Jeffrey Wisniewski (4/18/2008 3:27:42 PM): we should double-check in Slope/W
Bryan Scott (Denver) (4/18/2008 3:27:56 PM): not a bad idea
Jeffrey Wisniewski (4/18/2008 3:28:01 PM): or, use several unique surfaces
Jeffrey Wisniewski (4/18/2008 3:28:07 PM): drawn to exact points
Bryan Scott (Denver) (4/18/2008 3:28:16 PM): there are also other options for wedge search in UTEXAS
Jeffrey Wisniewski (4/18/2008 3:28:16 PM): and show that range of surfaces
Bryan Scott (Denver) (4/18/2008 3:28:34 PM): we should try those to see if we can get better results
Jeffrey Wisniewski (4/18/2008 3:28:35 PM): i’ve tried looking through them
Bryan Scott (Denver) (4/18/2008 3:28:42 PM): no luck?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (4/18/2008 3:28:45 PM): Ani kept asking me, show more surfaces
Jeffrey Wisniewski (4/18/2008 3:28:50 PM): i told him, i can’t.
Bryan Scott (Denver) (4/18/2008 3:28:56 PM): i don’t like running individual surfaces in the computer age
Jeffrey Wisniewski (4/18/2008 3:28:57 PM): once you meet your criteria, it is done
Jeffrey Wisniewski (4/18/2008 3:29:21 PM): we have sometimes as few as 10 or 20 surfaces checked
Jeffrey Wisniewski (4/18/2008 3:30:08 PM): and i need to “fix” the points to make sure the failure surfaces make sense
Jeffrey Wisniewski (4/18/2008 3:30:16 PM): come out at the toe
Jeffrey Wisniewski (4/18/2008 3:30:31 PM): stay within th etop of the levee
Bryan Scott (Denver) (4/18/2008 3:30:50 PM): you shouldn’t have to do that if the search routine is good
Jeffrey Wisniewski (4/18/2008 3:31:14 PM): with these steep clay slopes and tri-linear
Jeffrey Wisniewski (4/18/2008 3:31:27 PM): these surfaces want to stay surficial
Jeffrey Wisniewski (4/18/2008 3:31:39 PM): maybe i am missing something in the utexas code
Jeffrey Wisniewski (4/18/2008 3:32:00 PM): start with a larger wedge surface to search from
———————————————–

Bryan Scott (Denver) (4/18/2008 3:35:18 PM): I just looked at the other search options in the manual and they don’t look like they’ll be any better
Bryan Scott (Denver) (4/18/2008 3:37:48 PM): There has to be a workaround
Bryan Scott (Denver) (4/18/2008 3:40:50 PM): Let me give it some thought
Jeffrey Wisniewski (4/18/2008 3:46:01 PM): that’s what we need…
Jeffrey Wisniewski (4/18/2008 3:46:04 PM): a workaround
Jeffrey Wisniewski (4/18/2008 3:46:09 PM): for slope stability
Jeffrey Wisniewski (4/18/2008 3:46:10 PM): haha
Jeffrey Wisniewski (4/18/2008 3:46:20 PM): it’s called slope/w
Bryan Scott (Denver) (4/18/2008 3:46:21 PM): i think it’s called SLOPE/W
Jeffrey Wisniewski (4/18/2008 3:46:23 PM): haha
———————————————–

Bryan Scott (Denver) (4/18/2008 3:47:20 PM): i’m thinking there might be a protocal where we set the initial surface at the bottom of a layer and have it search in the direction of the top of the layer and the toe of the levee and that might accomplish what we need.
Bryan Scott (Denver) (4/18/2008 3:47:37 PM): If we tinker enough we’ll come up with something
Bryan Scott (Denver) (4/18/2008 3:47:50 PM): or we’ll strongly recommend SLOPE/W
Jeffrey Wisniewski (4/18/2008 3:48:30 PM): start with the conclusion, and work towards the beginning

Jeffrey Wisniewski (4/21/2008 2:40:59 PM): what is your office extension?
Bryan Scott (Denver) (4/21/2008 2:49:46 PM): 303.440.5237, no VOIP
Jeffrey Wisniewski (4/21/2008 2:49:51 PM): i see
Jeffrey Wisniewski (4/21/2008 2:49:53 PM): why not
Jeffrey Wisniewski (4/21/2008 2:49:56 PM): i tlaked to amber
Jeffrey Wisniewski (4/21/2008 2:50:03 PM): she helped me out
Bryan Scott (Denver) (4/21/2008 2:50:07 PM): good

Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/6/2008 9:35:00 AM): bryan
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/6/2008 9:35:08 AM): yeah?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/6/2008 9:35:18 AM): hey, in kozeny-carman
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/6/2008 9:35:47 AM): is it more conservatibe to assume a greater shape factor a smaller?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/6/2008 9:35:54 AM): or smaller
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/6/2008 9:35:58 AM): SF
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/6/2008 9:36:24 AM): completely unsure
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/6/2008 9:36:31 AM): SF is based on particle shape, rounded = 6.2, angular = 7.6
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/6/2008 9:36:34 AM): i’m not too familiar with the KC stuff
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/6/2008 9:36:41 AM): ok
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/6/2008 9:36:46 AM): sorry
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/6/2008 9:36:48 AM): as an end-result
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/6/2008 9:36:59 AM): is a lower k or larger k more conservative
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/6/2008 9:37:05 AM): for the sands
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/6/2008 9:37:13 AM): it is a greater conductivity, right?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/6/2008 9:37:24 AM): for clays, the opposite, for the blanket
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/6/2008 9:37:44 AM): less head loss
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/6/2008 9:38:22 AM): yeah
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/6/2008 9:38:26 AM): ok
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/6/2008 9:38:33 AM): higher k for sands, lower for clays is more conservative
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/6/2008 9:38:43 AM): thanks
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/6/2008 9:43:18 AM): who is working on the k-c stuff over in boulder?
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/6/2008 9:43:31 AM): Driss in Centennial
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/6/2008 9:44:32 AM): dmajdoub@gei
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/6/2008 9:44:37 AM): x 1030
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/6/2008 9:44:40 AM): thanks
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/6/2008 9:44:50 AM): ive just completed the k-c spreadsheet
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/6/2008 9:45:13 AM): can yo send it to driss and copy me?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/6/2008 9:45:43 AM): i was
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/6/2008 9:45:55 AM): perfect, thanks
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/6/2008 9:46:01 AM): amber too?

Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/13/2008 9:31:00 AM): hi
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/13/2008 9:31:22 AM): any chance you have a few minutes to QC the SEEP template materials?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/13/2008 9:31:47 AM): sure
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/13/2008 9:32:43 AM): I’ll send it on. can you check the materials and their permeabilities, colors, anisotropy against table 3-1 in the GuidDoc Rev. 6?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/13/2008 9:32:55 AM): yes
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/13/2008 9:33:35 AM): it’s on it’s way. 303.440.5237 if you have questions
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/13/2008 9:33:36 AM): thanks
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/13/2008 9:34:19 AM): Project 064595, Task 452
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/13/2008 9:34:35 AM): i’ll bill 40 hours or so
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/13/2008 9:34:39 AM): i’m light this week
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/13/2008 9:35:43 AM): i hope it won’t take that long
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/13/2008 9:36:03 AM): if you’re light, would you want to help develop strength parameters?
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/13/2008 9:36:15 AM): you did that for Sutter, right?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/13/2008 9:36:23 AM): i was joking
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/13/2008 9:36:39 AM): i will add a 🙂
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/13/2008 9:36:42 AM): in the future
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/13/2008 9:37:10 AM): i suppose i should do the same for my first response
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/13/2008 9:37:17 AM): haha
———————————————–

Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/13/2008 9:37:24 AM): are you light though?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/13/2008 9:40:14 AM): um, i’m certainly in the position where i can assist with SJAFCA for the next couple weeks
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/13/2008 9:40:23 AM): we don;t have funding for MVILLE GER
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/13/2008 9:40:42 AM): and the only thing going is the text for the MVILLE SGDR
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/13/2008 9:42:00 AM): I forgot you’re heading this way tomorrow, so I imagine you’re busy until friday
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/13/2008 9:42:13 AM): I’ll see where we stand at that point

Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/13/2008 2:01:04 PM): yeah
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/13/2008 3:30:07 PM): bryan — update on utexas — i ran a piggyback wedge analysis, the program didn’t blow-up, but the output files only show results from one analysis (if i am reading this right, it is a convoluted output file)
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/13/2008 3:32:36 PM): did you look at the dxf?
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/13/2008 3:33:03 PM): i’d be interested to see if both critical surfaces show up on the critical layer in the dxf
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/13/2008 3:33:18 PM): based on what you just said i doubt it, but it’s worth a shot
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/13/2008 3:35:09 PM): nope
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/13/2008 3:41:32 PM): i fiddled with this… calling out two “ANAlysis” sections… the second section overwrites the first one. Adding a second “NONCircular Search 2” command corrupts the process…
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/13/2008 3:44:18 PM): the DXF output — in general — however is not that bad
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/14/2008 11:51:20 AM): bryan
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/14/2008 11:51:26 AM): are you at your desk
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/14/2008 11:51:33 AM): yep
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/15/2008 7:45:33 AM): bryan, are you in centennial
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/16/2008 9:33:23 AM): hey
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/16/2008 9:33:59 AM): what is the task number for all of this fancy SJAFCA stuff? i only see three listed in BST under SJAFCA, none of them analyses
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/16/2008 9:34:21 AM): try project 064595, not 064592
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/16/2008 9:34:40 AM): you can split your time between seepage and stability analyses task codes
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/16/2008 9:34:47 AM): thanks
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/16/2008 9:34:49 AM): i think they’re in the 450 range
———————————————–

Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/27/2008 4:10:31 PM): Are you waiting on information from me and Amber to proceed?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/27/2008 4:11:13 PM): no
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/27/2008 4:11:17 PM): proceed with…
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/27/2008 4:11:22 PM): UTexas…?
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/27/2008 4:11:22 PM): analyses
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/27/2008 4:11:35 PM): I’m finalizing the third section…
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/27/2008 4:12:35 PM): I thought you and Deb were waiting on me and Amber to keep going
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/27/2008 4:12:49 PM): that’s why I suggested revising the colors in SEEP
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/27/2008 4:12:59 PM): oh
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/27/2008 4:13:19 PM): Let’s see how it boils down on timing
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/27/2008 4:13:40 PM): it’d be a bitch to re-run and re-dxf
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/27/2008 4:13:52 PM): I think the analysts are going to be able to outpace me and Amber, so a little extra work for the analysts
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/27/2008 4:13:53 PM): if the analyses are correct
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/27/2008 4:14:05 PM): shouldn’t slow down the process
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/27/2008 4:14:10 PM): if they need to be revised, then yes,
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/27/2008 4:14:20 PM): they shouldn’t be dxf’d yet
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/27/2008 4:14:45 PM): if they are and the numbers are right, we can probably do it in CAD
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/27/2008 4:16:10 PM): we should all work on speakerphone, to mimic working in the same office
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/27/2008 4:16:56 PM): are you in Oakland?
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/27/2008 4:17:40 PM): that puts you, me, Deb, Amber, and Babi in 5 different offices, right?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/27/2008 4:18:23 PM): yea
———————————————–

Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/27/2008 4:18:35 PM): wow
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/27/2008 4:18:52 PM): i’m doing a Seep seminar in SAC on Thursday
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/27/2008 4:18:59 PM): Deb will be there
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/27/2008 4:19:18 PM): I can try to cover the color thing; I didn’t realize it changed colors when you “clone”
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/27/2008 4:19:22 PM): what is the point of that?
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/27/2008 4:19:32 PM): i didn’t realize it either
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/27/2008 4:19:53 PM): i suppose it helps keep colors straight, but not for this project
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/27/2008 4:20:08 PM): where we want five materials the same color

Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/28/2008 4:07:19 PM): one sec
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/28/2008 4:07:36 PM): the copy on the SAC server is missing this page that talks about stability guidelines
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/28/2008 4:08:02 PM): what version are we on now>
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/28/2008 4:08:07 PM): 6
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/28/2008 4:12:15 PM): yea, it is missing
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/28/2008 4:12:26 PM): OK, thanks for checking
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/28/2008 4:12:30 PM): i’ll ask URS
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/30/2008 1:58:29 PM): q
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/30/2008 1:58:35 PM): what does number 1 mean?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/30/2008 1:58:46 PM): Please add perm calcs to marked up KC curve
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/30/2008 1:59:50 PM): hmm
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/30/2008 2:00:03 PM): that was Amber’s comment and I thought I knew what it meant,
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/30/2008 2:00:18 PM): but your chart includes what I thought she was asking for.
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/30/2008 2:00:25 PM): i have the PDF chart in the folder
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/30/2008 2:00:30 PM): yeah
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/30/2008 2:00:55 PM): does that mean multiply by .25
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/30/2008 2:01:02 PM): to get Kh
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/30/2008 2:01:13 PM): show that on chart
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/30/2008 2:03:11 PM): yeah
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/30/2008 2:03:16 PM): ok
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/30/2008 2:03:22 PM): I guess that is what Deb has done
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/30/2008 2:03:32 PM): i can do that
Jeffrey Wisniewski (5/30/2008 2:03:34 PM): thanks
Bryan Scott (Denver) (5/30/2008 2:03:42 PM): sounds good

———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/6/2008 10:41:41 AM): results from Floating similar to results from Grid
Bryan Scott (Denver) (6/6/2008 10:42:06 AM): does floating look more efficient?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/6/2008 10:42:10 AM): the difference is, you do not get a defined contour or a suite of surfaces checked
Bryan Scott (Denver) (6/6/2008 10:42:15 AM): less iteration on the grid?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/6/2008 10:42:23 AM): potentially…
Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/6/2008 10:42:31 AM): unless we need to provide several surfaces
Bryan Scott (Denver) (6/6/2008 10:42:36 AM): so no contour map?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/6/2008 10:42:51 AM): no
Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/6/2008 10:42:55 AM): look in 262+26

Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/6/2008 2:12:59 PM): check out W COUNTUR 2
Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/6/2008 2:13:10 PM): i had to change one of the points
Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/6/2008 2:13:15 PM): the right lowe on
Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/6/2008 2:13:33 PM): it would not calculate exact points because the exit angle was > 45

Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/10/2008 3:00:39 PM): yes Bryan Scott (Denver) (6/10/2008 3:00:55 PM): well, crap Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/10/2008 3:01:00 PM): i think it may be a goo dthing Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/10/2008 3:01:09 PM): its tab-deliniated Bryan Scott (Denver) (6/10/2008 3:01:27 PM): can I look at it tomorrow morning? Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/10/2008 3:01:39 PM): yes Bryan Scott (Denver) (6/10/2008 3:01:39 PM): or will that set you back? Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/10/2008 3:01:48 PM): u know what Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/10/2008 3:01:57 PM): 'i think we don't need that conversion macro anymore Bryan Scott (Denver) (6/10/2008 3:02:07 PM): that's what i started typing Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/10/2008 3:02:12 PM): cool Bryan Scott (Denver) (6/10/2008 3:02:14 PM): see if that's the case ----------------------------------------------- Bryan Scott (Denver) (6/10/2008 3:02:22 PM): if not, let me know and I'll fix it ----------------------------------------------- Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/27/2008 10:16:42 AM): PGA = 0.15 Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/27/2008 10:16:47 AM): therefore k = 0.075? Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/27/2008 10:16:52 AM): correct? Bryan Scott (Denver) (6/27/2008 10:17:06 AM): yes Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/27/2008 10:18:05 AM): i am noty going to model the walll Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/27/2008 10:18:09 AM): okay>
Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/27/2008 10:18:10 AM): ?
Bryan Scott (Denver) (6/27/2008 10:18:33 AM): how difficult would it be to model?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/27/2008 10:19:14 AM): wont make a difference ina nalysis
Bryan Scott (Denver) (6/27/2008 10:19:34 AM): well, it probably won’t affect the analysis
Bryan Scott (Denver) (6/27/2008 10:19:38 AM): you beat me to it
Bryan Scott (Denver) (6/27/2008 10:19:56 AM): we can leave it out

Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/27/2008 12:40:22 PM): any thoughts?
Bryan Scott (Denver) (6/27/2008 12:45:50 PM): i’m thinking we may be done with the seismic analyses…
Bryan Scott (Denver) (6/27/2008 12:45:54 PM): agree?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/27/2008 12:46:10 PM): yes
Bryan Scott (Denver) (6/27/2008 12:46:10 PM): it sounds like Ani might think so too
Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/27/2008 12:46:17 PM): should i send to dxk, chad
Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/27/2008 12:46:19 PM): ?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/27/2008 12:46:23 PM): DXF

Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/23/2008 2:18:29 PM): hey bryan
Bryan Scott (Denver) (7/23/2008 2:18:52 PM): yeah
Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/23/2008 2:19:27 PM): if you don’t mind, i think i’m going to break-out this Auto-Classify spreadsheet into a input-friendly version
Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/23/2008 2:19:34 PM): as we had discussed a whiole back
Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/23/2008 2:19:43 PM): once i finsd some spare time that is
Bryan Scott (Denver) (7/23/2008 2:19:44 PM): go for it
Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/23/2008 2:19:56 PM): hopefully i don’t ruin the place
Bryan Scott (Denver) (7/23/2008 2:20:04 PM): i think it’s a good idea
Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/23/2008 2:20:11 PM): cool
Bryan Scott (Denver) (7/23/2008 2:20:18 PM): be sure to close the door on your way out
Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/23/2008 2:20:41 PM): i asked lacy/emilie to do much more of the input into the spreadsheet to save time — lab results, field classification, percentages, etc.
Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/23/2008 2:20:47 PM): for America
Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/23/2008 2:20:50 PM): American
Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/23/2008 2:21:03 PM): but having that input on a separate tab will make it easier
Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/23/2008 2:21:06 PM): later
Bryan Scott (Denver) (7/23/2008 2:21:11 PM): good luck
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/23/2008 4:55:26 PM): hey bryan
Bryan Scott (Denver) (7/23/2008 4:59:41 PM): yeah
Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/23/2008 4:59:54 PM): hey, with only a %-finer than 200
Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/23/2008 5:00:10 PM): the program reads back “HAND CALCULAT Cu, Cc”
Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/23/2008 5:00:14 PM): but that is impossoble
Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/23/2008 5:00:30 PM): So I just adjusted per percent fines
Bryan Scott (Denver) (7/23/2008 5:00:47 PM): 1 sec…
Bryan Scott (Denver) (7/23/2008 5:01:54 PM): i’m not sure i understand the issue
Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/23/2008 5:02:17 PM): what is your phone
Bryan Scott (Denver) (7/23/2008 5:02:26 PM): 303.440.5237

Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/24/2008 3:24:14 PM): hey bryan
Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/24/2008 3:24:20 PM): you have a moment?
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (7/24/2008 3:24:22 PM): yeah
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (7/24/2008 3:24:25 PM): sure
Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/24/2008 3:41:53 PM): bryan
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (7/24/2008 3:42:00 PM): yep
Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/24/2008 3:42:12 PM): do you think you could take a look — we found a nagging error
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (7/24/2008 3:42:20 PM): sure
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/15/2008 2:57:54 PM): what questions do you have for GeoStudio?
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/15/2008 2:58:19 PM): the only thing i can think of is the three-stage analysis
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/15/2008 2:58:28 PM): the reason we couldn’t use 2004 for DWR
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/15/2008 2:58:49 PM): so rapid drawdown ofver several stages of water levels?
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/15/2008 2:59:37 PM): kind of
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/15/2008 2:59:53 PM): i think it’s more of a material property issue
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/15/2008 3:00:03 PM): but we’re not using it right now anyway
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/15/2008 3:00:18 PM): but i’d be curious if it performs the way utexas does

Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2008 10:35:57 AM): hey bryan
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/21/2008 10:36:10 AM): one sec…
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/21/2008 10:37:14 AM): yeah
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2008 10:38:25 AM): for marysville, using the triax reduction spreadsheet, i’m getting very high friction angles
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2008 10:38:29 AM): ~ 53
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2008 10:38:47 AM): with depth of 6 to 8 feet
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/21/2008 10:39:13 AM): that sounds pretty darn high
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2008 10:39:18 AM): yea
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2008 10:39:28 AM): i think we may have discussed this a while back
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2008 10:39:40 AM): i’m just wondering if i should put that in the sdgr
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/21/2008 10:39:39 AM): any chance the material is very overconsolidated or something like that?
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/21/2008 10:39:59 AM): that will certainly raise a flag or two
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/21/2008 10:40:52 AM): can you send an example?
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/21/2008 10:47:25 AM): call me at 303.440.5237
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/21/2008 11:45:14 AM): Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 logged out at 11:45:14 AM.

Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2008 12:56:59 PM): hey bryan, could you look at one more?
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/21/2008 12:57:07 PM): sure
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2008 1:00:33 PM): the highlighted green p/q boxes are filled in automatically, correct.? on the chart tab
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/21/2008 1:02:01 PM): the green boxes are the ones you need to fill in to create the line for c, phi
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2008 1:04:09 PM): okay, for reminder, for effective, looking for 5% axial; for total, max stress ratio
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/21/2008 1:04:59 PM): generally the other way around
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2008 1:05:35 PM): okay
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/21/2008 1:05:36 PM): but in this case, i’d use 5% for both
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2008 1:05:43 PM): why is that?
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/21/2008 1:06:28 PM): the 5% on the effective plot line up better with the assymptote (critical state line)
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/21/2008 1:07:11 PM): if you use 0,520 and 3000,2020 in the green boxes you get the line i’m looking at
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/21/2008 1:07:26 PM): it gives phi’=30 and c’=600
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/21/2008 1:07:40 PM): i hate using c’>0, but it might be justified in this case
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2008 1:07:45 PM): ok
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2008 1:07:50 PM): so i will play with these numbers
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2008 1:08:02 PM): and not necessarily use c=0 for effective
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2008 1:08:40 PM): but in general, effective = MSR, total = 5% strrain
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/21/2008 1:08:54 PM): certainly try to use c’=0, but some times it just won’t fit
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/21/2008 1:08:58 PM): yes
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2008 1:09:08 PM): thanks!
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/21/2008 1:09:22 PM): no problem
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/28/2008 3:10:24 PM): are u on the call?
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/28/2008 3:10:33 PM): i just hung up
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/28/2008 3:10:42 PM): the music is too good to hang up
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/28/2008 3:10:48 PM): are we still having the call
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/28/2008 3:10:53 PM): ?
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/28/2008 3:10:54 PM): good point
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/28/2008 3:14:51 PM): we’re on
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/28/2008 3:15:04 PM): iqbal is first
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/28/2008 3:56:46 PM): so did the color chart change?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/28/2008 3:56:55 PM): is that project wide?
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/28/2008 3:57:29 PM): no, the TOL-2 head contours were output without changing the haed contour limits within seep
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/28/2008 3:57:48 PM): but the scale bar was changed
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/28/2008 3:57:54 PM): oh man
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/28/2008 3:58:19 PM): so only the middle of the color spectrum was used because of the reduced head
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/29/2008 10:00:41 AM): hey bryan
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/29/2008 10:01:36 AM): yeah
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/29/2008 10:02:16 AM): the SJAFCA Kozeny-Carman chart
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/29/2008 10:02:21 AM): Kv vs. % fines
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/29/2008 10:02:29 AM): I have that spreadsheet opened
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/29/2008 10:02:35 AM): looking to copy it for Marysville
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/29/2008 10:02:44 AM): Are there hidden/locked sheets?
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/29/2008 10:03:04 AM): i have a tendency to do that.
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/29/2008 10:03:08 AM): let me take a look
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/29/2008 10:03:13 AM): i think i found them
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/29/2008 10:03:17 AM): the’re not locked
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/29/2008 10:05:54 AM): do you have the file that has all of the data plotted, or just the curve?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/29/2008 10:06:07 AM): i think i have it alll
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/29/2008 10:06:21 AM): ok
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/29/2008 10:06:25 AM): thanks
———————————————–

Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/29/2008 10:06:27 AM): good luck
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/29/2008 10:06:32 AM): u too
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/29/2008 11:17:27 AM): u ended up writing your own trendline? 10^x
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/29/2008 11:17:28 AM): ?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/29/2008 11:17:59 AM): the power curve from Excel is a x ^b
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/29/2008 11:18:29 AM): yes, i wanted a somewhat conservative line, not just a simple trendline
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/29/2008 11:18:42 AM): and you best fit it by eye?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/29/2008 11:18:48 AM): or did you write a macro?
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/29/2008 11:18:57 AM): by eye
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/29/2008 11:19:18 AM): it was easier to do with % fines on the x-axis and Kv on the y-axis
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/29/2008 11:20:29 AM): and non-logrithmic axes, I see
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/29/2008 11:20:44 AM): yeah, it’s the extra chart in the file
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/29/2008 11:21:18 AM): i tried a few forms of the equation and settled on the one in that workbook
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (8/29/2008 11:21:30 AM): it was far better than any other form
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (9/16/2008 10:53:02 AM): hey bryan
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (9/16/2008 10:53:07 AM): yeah
Jeffrey Wisniewski (9/16/2008 10:53:09 AM): i had a quick question
Jeffrey Wisniewski (9/16/2008 10:53:10 AM): qq
Jeffrey Wisniewski (9/16/2008 10:53:21 AM): you know your permeability plot for SJAFCA
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (9/16/2008 10:53:28 AM): k-c?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (9/16/2008 10:53:32 AM): yea
Jeffrey Wisniewski (9/16/2008 10:53:51 AM): did you ever take a look at the permeabilities assigned to gravels for the same fines?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (9/16/2008 10:54:19 AM): i plotted as much as i could when i took a look for the Marysville Curve
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (9/16/2008 10:54:17 AM): no, because we didn’t have any gravels
Jeffrey Wisniewski (9/16/2008 10:54:24 AM): yea
Jeffrey Wisniewski (9/16/2008 10:54:29 AM): that is what Ani was telling me
Jeffrey Wisniewski (9/16/2008 10:54:36 AM): we really liked your line
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (9/16/2008 10:54:43 AM): Alberto made a comment re: gravel perms though
Jeffrey Wisniewski (9/16/2008 10:54:59 AM): but your line was to the left (i.e., more pervious) than the program-wide gravels
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (9/16/2008 10:55:00 AM): my line?
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (9/16/2008 10:55:04 AM): gotcha
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (9/16/2008 10:55:19 AM): really?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (9/16/2008 10:55:26 AM): as i graphed it
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (9/16/2008 10:55:44 AM): so our SM would be more permeable than program GM for the same fines
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (9/16/2008 10:55:46 AM): ?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (9/16/2008 10:56:22 AM): yea
Jeffrey Wisniewski (9/16/2008 10:56:30 AM): let me send you a plot
Jeffrey Wisniewski (9/16/2008 10:56:34 AM): if you are interested
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (9/16/2008 10:56:59 AM): sure
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (9/16/2008 10:57:19 AM): here’s a comment AP had on gravel perms:
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (9/16/2008 10:57:28 AM): I realize this table comes from the Guidance Document. For a future revision, suggest that the permeability value for gravel with 0 to 2% fines be increased at least one order of magnitude. The Corps and TRLIA have published relief well pump tests that indicate higher permeabilities in gravel layers.
Jeffrey Wisniewski (9/16/2008 10:58:31 AM): this is Alberto?
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (9/16/2008 10:58:47 AM): yeah
Jeffrey Wisniewski (9/16/2008 10:59:03 AM): he’d have the same comment re: Marysville then
Bryan Scott (Denver) 303-440-5237 (9/16/2008 11:01:54 AM): probably

Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/6/2008 10:15:49 AM): are u on the conference call?
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (10/6/2008 10:15:54 AM): no
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/6/2008 10:16:03 AM): i was thinking about the QA/QC
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/6/2008 10:16:22 AM): the official QA/QC documents cover all analyses for each indivisual section
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/6/2008 10:16:28 AM): — slope stability, seepage, mitigation
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/6/2008 10:16:46 AM): we are hoping for an interim QA/QC review
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/6/2008 10:16:54 AM): solely seepage
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (10/6/2008 10:17:02 AM): that makes sense
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/6/2008 10:17:07 AM): so the forms do not work for this necessarily
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/6/2008 10:17:16 AM): the official forms at least
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (10/6/2008 10:17:20 AM): yeah
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/6/2008 10:17:34 AM): did you want to keep your own notes, or… ?
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (10/6/2008 10:17:42 AM): i/we can just keep track and sign the forms at the end
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/6/2008 10:17:46 AM): okay
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/6/2008 10:17:48 AM): good
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/6/2008 10:18:01 AM): i will talk to you more about this later today
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/6/2008 10:18:04 AM): is that alright?
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (10/6/2008 10:18:16 AM): sounds good
———————————————–

———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/15/2008 1:28:00 PM): hey bryan
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/15/2008 1:28:11 PM): one of your comments regarded color of GP layer
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/15/2008 1:28:21 PM): I matched the colors from the SJAFCA template
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/15/2008 1:28:29 PM): but you guys didnt have any gravels right?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/15/2008 1:28:37 PM): so maybe you never thought about it
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (10/15/2008 1:28:57 PM): we never thought about it, so it might have been wrong in the SJAFCA template
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/15/2008 1:29:02 PM): ok
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/15/2008 1:29:49 PM): do you know if that would be orange for Silty Gravels (fines up to 40%)
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (10/15/2008 1:30:09 PM): i don’t believe so
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/15/2008 1:30:19 PM): ok, i’ll check
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/15/2008 1:30:21 PM): thanks
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/15/2008 4:17:08 PM): ok
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (10/15/2008 4:21:54 PM): OK, what have you got?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/15/2008 4:50:37 PM): adding the third flux line worked
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/15/2008 4:50:40 PM): thanks a lot
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (10/15/2008 4:50:47 PM): no problem

Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (10/17/2008 8:31:12 AM): yeah
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/17/2008 8:33:59 AM): it a great friday in Sac
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (10/17/2008 8:34:18 AM): how so?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/17/2008 8:34:38 AM): i just wanted to touch base with you on the QA/QC for the seepage mitigation
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/17/2008 8:34:56 AM): we are hoping to finalize the initial review today
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/17/2008 8:35:07 AM): I am reviewing Babi’s work; he is reviewing mine
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/17/2008 8:35:31 AM): And then we hope that you can look at them in the same manner (30,000-foot level) as the seepage
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (10/17/2008 8:35:40 AM): sure
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/17/2008 8:35:51 AM): there are less sections; only the ones that require mitigation
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/17/2008 8:35:57 AM): so you will have some time next week?
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (10/17/2008 8:36:29 AM): yeah. i should be able to get to them early in the week
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (10/17/2008 8:37:00 AM): just let me know when they’re ready
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/17/2008 8:38:17 AM): great

Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (10/23/2008 1:04:52 PM): almost
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (10/23/2008 1:04:57 PM): i want to look at one more thing
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/23/2008 1:05:05 PM): ok
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (10/23/2008 1:05:14 PM): i uploaded another model with a potential change to make
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (10/23/2008 1:05:31 PM): can you download that and i’ll call you in 10-15 minutes
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (10/23/2008 1:05:38 PM): are you in oakland?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/23/2008 1:06:49 PM): Sac
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (10/23/2008 1:08:30 PM): what’s your number there?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/23/2008 1:09:09 PM): 916-631-4539
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/23/2008 1:10:14 PM): i’ve opened the file
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (10/23/2008 1:33:31 PM): see if extending the slurry wall 5′ into the silt makes a big difference. i bet it does, maybe to 1-2 cf/day
———————————————–

Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (10/28/2008 2:34:30 PM): have you talked to Deb lately?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/28/2008 2:34:59 PM): is this a song lyric?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/28/2008 2:35:16 PM): no, i haven’t
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/28/2008 2:35:20 PM): what is up?
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (10/28/2008 2:35:36 PM): his voicemail now kicks to the general mailbox
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (10/28/2008 2:35:46 PM): and he’s not listed in Messenger
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/28/2008 2:35:57 PM): i still see him on messenger
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (10/28/2008 2:36:09 PM): really?
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (10/28/2008 2:36:33 PM): He doesn’t show up when I try to “Find User”
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/28/2008 2:36:46 PM): did u spell hsi name right?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/28/2008 2:37:06 PM): ure right
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/28/2008 2:37:16 PM): I went to his properties — says “not found”
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (10/28/2008 2:37:46 PM): hm, I’ll call Iqbal and see what’s up
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (10/28/2008 2:37:57 PM): I thought he might have been doing some analyses for you
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/28/2008 2:38:03 PM): nope
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (10/28/2008 2:38:06 PM): so I figured I’d ask you first
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/28/2008 2:38:08 PM): let me know
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (10/28/2008 2:38:11 PM): will do
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/28/2008 3:55:59 PM): you discover anything?
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (10/28/2008 3:56:14 PM): yeah, he was let go
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/28/2008 3:56:43 PM): yea, expected that if he wasn’t existent in the database any longer
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (10/28/2008 3:56:43 PM): i believe yesterday
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (10/28/2008 3:56:56 PM): yeah
———————————————–

Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (10/28/2008 3:57:19 PM): Iqbal asked if I needed any files or anything
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (10/28/2008 3:57:41 PM): If you need analysis files, I think Jon Bialon is the one to contact
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/28/2008 3:57:44 PM): i think everything he has done / that we needed / is on the server
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/28/2008 3:57:46 PM): okay
Jeffrey Wisniewski (10/28/2008 3:57:48 PM): thank you
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/4/2008 9:40:12 AM): hey
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (11/4/2008 9:40:19 AM): yeah
Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/4/2008 9:40:33 AM): did you ever present SJAFCA PGER results to DWR?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/4/2008 9:40:39 AM): i mean, as a presentation?
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (11/4/2008 9:40:51 AM): yeah
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (11/4/2008 9:40:58 AM): about 4-5 weeks ago
Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/4/2008 9:41:08 AM): you available for a minute or two?
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (11/4/2008 9:41:25 AM): sure. 303.440.5237
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/6/2008 11:15:55 AM): hey
Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/6/2008 11:16:16 AM): yesterday at DWR, Juan Vargas gave us an Action Item
Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/6/2008 11:16:19 AM): …
Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/6/2008 11:16:32 AM): Qualify the anisotropy values used.
Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/6/2008 11:16:40 AM): We have been following Guidance Doc.
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/6/2008 12:03:51 PM): hey
Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/6/2008 12:03:55 PM): did you get my last IM
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (11/6/2008 12:04:30 PM): i replied with two lines, but that was the last i saw
Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/6/2008 12:04:45 PM): this stupid program kicks me off
Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/6/2008 12:04:53 PM): i didnt see anything
Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/6/2008 12:04:57 PM): did you see my email?
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (11/6/2008 12:05:01 PM): yeah
Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/6/2008 12:05:19 PM): thoughts on using unweathered clay for all blankets regardless of thickness?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/6/2008 12:05:48 PM): restricting the vertical flow would probably cause higher gradients
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (11/6/2008 12:06:00 PM): yeah, possibly much higher
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (11/6/2008 12:06:21 PM): i can’t remember what anisotropy values we used for SJAFCA
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (11/6/2008 12:06:54 PM): can you pull a SJAFCA analysis and see if we used 1/10 and 1/100 or if we used 4?
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (11/6/2008 12:07:15 PM): i remember a change in philosophy at some point
Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/6/2008 12:07:55 PM): yea
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/6/2008 12:10:14 PM): section 262+26
Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/6/2008 12:10:28 PM): you used k=0.25 for clay blanket <4 Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (11/6/2008 12:11:52 PM): ok, i think we used k=.25 for all clay blankets then Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (11/6/2008 12:12:21 PM): for the marysville P1 analyses we probably used 10, 100 Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (11/6/2008 12:12:34 PM): they were done before the change in philosophy Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (11/6/2008 12:12:40 PM): that's my guess at least Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/6/2008 12:12:54 PM): yea Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/6/2008 12:13:08 PM): for GER however. we've been using 10, 100 Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/6/2008 12:13:35 PM): remember that crazy behavior at the location that we used <10 and >10
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (11/6/2008 12:14:03 PM): yeah
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (11/6/2008 12:14:43 PM): i guess it shouldn’t do that if we use k=.25
Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/6/2008 12:14:58 PM): for everything at least
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (11/6/2008 12:15:15 PM): but the gradients may go through the roof
Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/6/2008 12:15:48 PM): we’ll have to see i guess
Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/6/2008 12:15:56 PM): we have 5 sections (of 16) affected
Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/6/2008 12:16:15 PM): 1 that we thought was okay without mitigation may not be though
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (11/6/2008 12:17:23 PM): although the gradients may not change much if you were already dealing with a clean sand permeable layer
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (11/6/2008 12:18:00 PM): if the perm/blanket layers were 3 order of magnitude different, it may not matter if they change to 4.5 orders of magnitude
Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/6/2008 12:18:08 PM): the head at surface will not change
Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/6/2008 12:18:31 PM): the head at base of blanket may
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (11/6/2008 12:18:54 PM): it may not be as much as might appear though
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (11/6/2008 12:19:21 PM): if you were already losing 80% of head through blanket, going to 95% may not make it that much worse
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (11/6/2008 12:19:38 PM): but it certainly isn’t going to get better
Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/6/2008 12:19:48 PM): yea
Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/6/2008 12:19:51 PM): thank you
Jeffrey Wisniewski (11/6/2008 12:19:59 PM): we’ll be talking about this
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (11/6/2008 12:20:01 PM): let me know how it works out
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (1/27/2009 2:02:45 PM): hey bs
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (1/27/2009 2:02:54 PM): yeah
Jeffrey Wisniewski (1/27/2009 2:03:02 PM): how are you doing?
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (1/27/2009 2:03:32 PM): not too bad, you?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (1/27/2009 2:03:41 PM): i’m alright. work is slow
Jeffrey Wisniewski (1/27/2009 2:03:48 PM): not been working on levees for weeks now
Jeffrey Wisniewski (1/27/2009 2:03:55 PM): picking up 4-hr jobs here and there
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (1/27/2009 2:04:02 PM): likewise
Jeffrey Wisniewski (1/27/2009 2:04:18 PM): i’m thinking of creating a new set of spreadsheets for lab data
Jeffrey Wisniewski (1/27/2009 2:04:29 PM): look at un-edited curves from consol and triax
Jeffrey Wisniewski (1/27/2009 2:04:39 PM): independent of lab mockups
Jeffrey Wisniewski (1/27/2009 2:04:46 PM): for internal review and analysis
Jeffrey Wisniewski (1/27/2009 2:04:58 PM): we had a pretty good set of clasess with a professor from DAVIS
Jeffrey Wisniewski (1/27/2009 2:05:05 PM): got me thinking
Jeffrey Wisniewski (1/27/2009 2:05:17 PM): about how much I’be been relying on Vector printouts
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (1/27/2009 2:06:36 PM): un-edited curves?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (1/27/2009 2:14:50 PM): yea, take the time vs displacement data
Jeffrey Wisniewski (1/27/2009 2:14:59 PM): and make my own spreadsheet and plts
Jeffrey Wisniewski (1/27/2009 2:15:01 PM): plots
Jeffrey Wisniewski (1/27/2009 2:15:13 PM): instead of relying on the provided plots
Jeffrey Wisniewski (1/27/2009 2:15:20 PM): the same with CPT
Jeffrey Wisniewski (1/27/2009 2:15:49 PM): take the depth, sleeve, tip resistance, pore pressure, and run those through an-in-house spreadsheet with formulas
Jeffrey Wisniewski (1/27/2009 2:15:59 PM): instead of relying on gregg’s interpretation, etc.
Jeffrey Wisniewski (1/27/2009 2:16:13 PM): i have down-time
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (1/27/2009 2:16:17 PM): i know ahmed at URS has the latter
Jeffrey Wisniewski (1/27/2009 2:16:27 PM): it is probably lcked
Jeffrey Wisniewski (1/27/2009 2:16:30 PM): locked
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (1/27/2009 2:16:31 PM): you might contact him and modify theirs as you see fit
Jeffrey Wisniewski (1/27/2009 2:16:36 PM): true

Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (6/9/2009 8:59:48 AM): well, we’ll see i guess
Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/9/2009 9:02:40 AM): like you said though, there are probably a myriad of contracting issues
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (6/9/2009 9:03:20 AM): yeah. i guess i’m just hoping he’ll eventually return one of my calls
Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/9/2009 9:04:47 AM): haha (but not really)
———————————————–

Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (6/11/2009 1:58:52 PM): have you heard from robert lately?

Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/11/2009 1:59:39 PM): *should
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (6/11/2009 1:59:41 PM): agreed

Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (6/25/2009 3:30:00 PM): i’m not sure if making the call is a good thing or not
Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/25/2009 3:30:04 PM): yea
Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/25/2009 3:30:20 PM): i have a series of questions about details that need to be ironed out before i decide
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (6/25/2009 3:30:24 PM): we just went from “you can’t say no” to “you really can’t say no”
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (6/25/2009 3:30:30 PM): likewise
Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/25/2009 3:30:31 PM): e.g., trips back, accomodations, etc
Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/25/2009 3:30:50 PM): and who’s the fifth?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/25/2009 3:31:50 PM): robert lambe mention three to five engineers

Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (6/25/2009 3:32:13 PM): i would guess doug, but the 3-5 was a surprise to me as well
Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/25/2009 3:32:21 PM): doug?
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (6/25/2009 3:32:39 PM): adjayan?

Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/25/2009 3:33:10 PM): well, i guess we wait
———————————————–

Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (6/25/2009 3:33:26 PM): that appears to be the case
———————————————–

Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (6/25/2009 3:34:29 PM): i’ll let you know if i hear anything, but i’m not counting on it
Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/25/2009 3:34:38 PM): cool, same here
———————————————–

Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (6/26/2009 2:53:50 PM): FYI, talked to Robert earlier and still no word from Bechtel
Jeffrey Wisniewski (6/26/2009 2:54:03 PM): i guess i’ll unpack then
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/10/2009 7:50:08 AM): how relieved are you?
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (7/10/2009 7:50:26 AM): somewhere between quite and very
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (7/10/2009 7:50:35 AM): i imagine you’re about the same
Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/10/2009 7:50:47 AM): i’m sort of mixed. i got myself so prepared mentally for it; plus i was looking forward to straight time
Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/10/2009 7:50:57 AM): but overall, yes, i am
Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/10/2009 7:51:07 AM): i thought it was a done deal
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (7/10/2009 7:51:12 AM): likewise
Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/10/2009 7:51:19 AM): that was how it was described to us
Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/10/2009 7:51:31 AM): in july, you are on a plane
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (7/10/2009 7:51:33 AM): i was more or less prepared for it as well, but still glad not to go
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (7/10/2009 7:51:53 AM): yeah, a little bit mislead at some point in the process
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (7/10/2009 7:52:36 AM): the extra pay would have been nice, but more than a bit inconvenient
Jeffrey Wisniewski (7/10/2009 7:52:50 AM): yes
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/5/2009 10:13:43 AM): hey bryan
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (8/5/2009 10:13:50 AM): yeah
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/5/2009 10:14:01 AM): are you excited for the big office move?
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (8/5/2009 10:14:17 AM): not so much
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (8/5/2009 10:15:01 AM): my commute will go from 20-30 minutes to 70-90 minutes
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/5/2009 10:15:03 AM): heard they will be offering a regional transit pass
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/5/2009 10:15:11 AM): 1 way
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/5/2009 10:15:17 AM): 70-90 min
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (8/5/2009 10:15:18 AM): yep, one way
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/5/2009 10:15:33 AM): like from my house to Sac
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (8/5/2009 10:15:40 AM): i heard mention of some sort of transit deal
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (8/5/2009 10:16:00 AM): how often are you going to Sac these days?
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (8/5/2009 10:16:10 AM): that’s a long drive
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/5/2009 10:16:49 AM): never
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (8/5/2009 10:17:19 AM): i guess with the levees on hold there’s probably not much reason
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/5/2009 10:17:40 AM): no, and the dwr levees prb won’t start up until next year
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (8/5/2009 10:18:26 AM): wow
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/5/2009 10:21:09 AM): it’s pretty slow, not sure what is best
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (8/5/2009 10:22:32 AM): is your whole office pretty slow?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/5/2009 10:23:26 AM): yea, Oak is slow, but we are billable, but the work is not good. a lot of paperwork for dams. no analysis, no study, no reports, no drawings, nothing.
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (8/5/2009 10:23:47 AM): hopefully that won’t last too long
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (8/5/2009 10:23:57 AM): i guess it could be worse
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/5/2009 10:24:27 AM): yea, this office could be closed
Bryan Scott (Boulder) 303-440-5237 (8/5/2009 10:24:37 AM): yep, that would be worse
———————————————–

Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 1:45:33 PM): hey bryan
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 1:45:43 PM): how are things?

Bryan Scott (8/21/2009 4:07:07 PM): hey Jeff, sorry I missed you earlier
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:07:17 PM): oh no prb
Bryan Scott (8/21/2009 4:07:26 PM): things are pretty slow around here, how ’bout out there?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:07:46 PM): i think i have to move on actually
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:08:02 PM): things are not getting better
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:08:21 PM): the work i do have is menial
Bryan Scott (8/21/2009 4:08:28 PM): that’s no good
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:08:30 PM): but it is 40hrs
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:08:47 PM): but with DWR being shelved
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:08:51 PM): may not return
Bryan Scott (8/21/2009 4:08:57 PM): i’m struggling with the same thing
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:09:01 PM): i’m not sure if this is a good environment for me
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:09:09 PM): at least in OAK
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:09:23 PM): so i was just looking to vent a bit
Bryan Scott (8/21/2009 4:09:33 PM): i know how it goes
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:09:41 PM): the handling of the Maryland job wasn;t a great sign
Bryan Scott (8/21/2009 4:09:48 PM): agreed
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:10:06 PM): and i;m not sure I would ever want to work under Alberto
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:10:22 PM): OAK just brought on two great Fugro guys
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:10:28 PM): which is good
Bryan Scott (8/21/2009 4:10:35 PM): as maryland was blowing up, my branch manager asked if stuff like that was enough to make me quit
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:10:38 PM): but the work doesn’ty exist yer
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:10:45 PM): *yet
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:10:59 PM): yea, i wanted a straight answer or at least a say in theprocess
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:11:14 PM): it seemed as if the call came from Bechtel, we would have been on the next plane
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:11:18 PM): without much notice
Bryan Scott (8/21/2009 4:11:30 PM): if they brought on the fugro folks, are they expecting things to pick up out there?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:11:47 PM): Mark Freitas, former principal at Fugro
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:11:56 PM): is supposed to bring in big work
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:12:04 PM): Transpo, ports, etc
Bryan Scott (8/21/2009 4:12:08 PM): that sounds promising
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:12:11 PM): but we have to get it first
Bryan Scott (8/21/2009 4:12:21 PM): was he their lead for DWR stuff?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:12:26 PM): yea
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:12:36 PM): and Len Sansome started a couple weeks ago
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:12:42 PM): he was on DWR too
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:12:47 PM): a big reshuffling of the deck
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:12:56 PM): but URS is likely to hoard the DWR stuff to themselves
Bryan Scott (8/21/2009 4:13:01 PM): when we brought in Dan to run the boulder office he was supposed to bring in big work too
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:13:04 PM): call it effieiency or something
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:13:18 PM): is Dan still here?
Bryan Scott (8/21/2009 4:13:20 PM): but it never happened, mainly because of clients dragging their feet
Bryan Scott (8/21/2009 4:13:23 PM): yeah
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:13:32 PM): when is the office switch?
Bryan Scott (8/21/2009 4:13:47 PM): right around the new year
Bryan Scott (8/21/2009 4:14:00 PM): i’ve heard early Dec, and early Jan
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:14:12 PM): that will be abig change out there
Bryan Scott (8/21/2009 4:14:18 PM): yep
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:14:36 PM): i’ve talked to my wife about this
Bryan Scott (8/21/2009 4:14:40 PM): i think our staff may look a lot different by next summer
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:14:54 PM): and i’m not sure what i can rely on at GEI
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:14:57 PM): and taht is unfortunate
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:15:10 PM): and i’m not talking about text messaging fees
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:15:40 PM): actually, I’d rather be in Md. right now
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:15:47 PM): doing something
Bryan Scott (8/21/2009 4:15:49 PM): yeah, i wonder how much of the stuff lately is economy driven, and how much is leadership driven
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:16:06 PM): sat down with Bill a few months ago
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:16:18 PM): he said, “I’m really busy and need a lot of help.”
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:16:31 PM): “But I do not have the time to sit downa nd give the work to you.”
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:16:50 PM): this was after he criticized my billing
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:17:08 PM): when i was maybe 10 hrs billable in march/feb
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:17:25 PM): hoping for DWR to call us back into action
Bryan Scott (8/21/2009 4:17:40 PM): it would seem in the best interest of GEI to take the time to sit down and hand off work
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:17:53 PM): yea, i also favor organic growth
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:18:10 PM): there is very limited educating and mentoring in the Oak office, if any
Bryan Scott (8/21/2009 4:18:18 PM): you think URS will be able to hoarde most of the DWR work when it comes back online
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:18:20 PM): that is why i liked working with Ani
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:18:23 PM): YES
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:18:37 PM): They took SJAFCA,.
Bryan Scott (8/21/2009 4:18:41 PM): true
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:18:43 PM): Len says they will take Fugro’s work
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:18:57 PM): GEI will get a taste
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:19:04 PM): but we will still be subservient to URS
Bryan Scott (8/21/2009 4:19:15 PM): i guess that’s the drawback of dancing with the devil
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:19:18 PM): haha
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:19:23 PM): I’ve got a lot to think about
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:19:38 PM): I never would have guessed this was going to happen when stuff was rolling last year
Bryan Scott (8/21/2009 4:19:40 PM): i know people out here have issues with lack of mentoring as well
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:19:44 PM): i got a great bonus
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:19:52 PM): things were good
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:19:57 PM): considering
Bryan Scott (8/21/2009 4:20:28 PM): yeah, things are definitely different from 6-12 months ago
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:20:35 PM): anyway, i digress
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:20:52 PM): the OAK office is kickass too
Bryan Scott (8/21/2009 4:21:35 PM): i’ve never been out there, but I think Ryan liked working out there back in the day
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:21:37 PM): didnt see this coming
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:21:47 PM): our new office
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:21:53 PM): is very nice
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:21:57 PM): nice digs
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:22:01 PM): not much else
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:22:04 PM): (unfortunately)
Bryan Scott (8/21/2009 4:23:23 PM): if i find the magic “too much work to handle” pill, i’ll certainly look your way.
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:23:35 PM): thanks
Bryan Scott (8/21/2009 4:23:35 PM): unfortunately i’m not too hopeful
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:23:49 PM): i cant sit here and rit
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:23:52 PM): *rot
Bryan Scott (8/21/2009 4:24:01 PM): though we do have a few promising proposals out now
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:24:03 PM): i’m not that type of person
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:24:10 PM): so do we!!
Bryan Scott (8/21/2009 4:24:26 PM): yeah, it’s hard waiting for good work
Bryan Scott (8/21/2009 4:24:36 PM): or just billable work
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:25:00 PM): haha
Bryan Scott (8/21/2009 4:25:02 PM): we’re also losing a geotech soon
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:25:09 PM): who?
Bryan Scott (8/21/2009 4:25:17 PM): gillian
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:25:32 PM): who is this Maurice guy in Carlsbad?
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:25:36 PM): when did he join?
Bryan Scott (8/21/2009 4:25:36 PM): she’s going back to school
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:25:52 PM): i’ve never heard from him before
Bryan Scott (8/21/2009 4:25:59 PM): not sure, but i think i’ve seen his name on the phone list for at least a few months
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:26:05 PM): oh
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:26:13 PM): anyway, have a great weekend
Jeffrey Wisniewski (8/21/2009 4:26:21 PM): enjoy the short commute while you can
Bryan Scott (8/21/2009 4:26:28 PM): will do
Bryan Scott (8/21/2009 4:26:39 PM): you too

Philly Night Redux

Hey-

I just wanted to thank everyone — even those who did not make it (Travis the man-god, Tony Redirect) — for making the bachelor party a great time. Arturo did a wonderful job coordinating, and everyone at MGA did well keeping the plan from Jim.

Some notes…
– Drinking Belgian beer, eating typical
Belgian fare and swapping wallets is not a good idea. Any combination
of the two is alright, but combining all three leads to mixed results.
– Pat’s “whit whiz” shack was fully staffed at 3am.
– Getting stuck in traffic at 4am — and coming to a complete stop — is usually not expected, as I’m told.
– Korey Kay, er, Jon probably contributed the most to the evening, including sacrificing his Blackberry for the cause.

Thank you, Arturo, for planning and driving; without you, the world would be a much more bleak place. You are the Howard Roark of the group.* Thank you, Soper, Matt and Jon, for making the evening memorable. And thank you, Jim, for getting married and giving us a reason do this.

I had a blast and enjoyed everything, guys, and I truly hope that our paths cross again. If not, I wish the best of luck to you.

God bless you, and god bless the United States of America. And Canada. And the ladies in Iceland, they’re supposed to be smoking hot. (Any confirmation on this?)

-Jeff

* And I’m Ellsworth Toohey. (I’m now sixty percent through the book, and I view Toohey as a major tool. Just my opinion.)

Also, there were two photos from that night included in the slideshow at the wedding — you may had seen them — and I’ll post the rest on Flickr sometime this week (link will follow).

[18:38] goodtimes93: a fireman bursts through the door and says, “WHERE’S THE FIRE!?”
[18:39] goodtimes93: pan to a man glistening on the couch who retorts: “Its in my pants.”
[18:39] goodtimes93: With that the fireman informs his fellow firefighters to head back to the station because he is going to take care of this
[18:39] goodtimes93: I found that relative to your local events
[21:14] prefidentBUSH: are you making light of the devastating wildfires that have engulfed southern california?
[21:14] goodtimes93 (auto-response from goodtimes93)
aggro1982 (9:45:42 PM): i was on the today show 4 years ago…intoxicated of course, binge drinking before going to see bea arthur, a “one woman show”.

[21:14] prefidentBUSH: i hope not

[09:05] goodtimes93: about as well as you getting your pictures
[09:05] goodtimes93: but its going

[20:19] goodtimes93 (auto-response from goodtimes93) Tonight I discovered that after years of singing “KANGAROO LOVE! OH YOU JUST HAVE TO WAIT!” It turns out, the true lyrics are actually “You can’t hurry love, oh you just have to wait.” Damn you Wayne Brady.

[10:30] prefidentBUSH: i got a check plus too
[10:30] goodtimes93 (auto-response from goodtimes93) I got a “check plus” in my first paper for my women’s study class! In case you were wondering: this is better than a simple “check” and far superior to the dreaded “check minus.”
Clearly the risk I took comparing Soulja Boy’s vernacular in Crank That to “Counter life” feminist literature paid off.
Wednesday, February 6, 2008 16:53:49
[16:53] goodtimes93: great idea for a new ‘non-profit’ org
[16:54] prefidentBUSH: yea…

[16:55] goodtimes93: think of all the second offenses!
[16:55] goodtimes93: giving those lonely housewives of MADD something to do by picketing drunks houses
[16:55] goodtimes93: its win win
[16:55] goodtimes93: think about it
[16:55] prefidentBUSH: what’s your major again?
[16:55] goodtimes93: Ill have my masters of liberal arts in a year
[16:56] prefidentBUSH: and giving away cars to drunks is a liberal art
[16:56] goodtimes93: no, conservative

[16:58] goodtimes93: he should have MORE time
[16:58] goodtimes93: oh please
[16:58] goodtimes93: grad school is a fucking joke
[16:58] goodtimes93: its so easy
[16:58] goodtimes93: there is more work or whatever
[16:58] goodtimes93: and its denser

[17:01] goodtimes93: “You know, I am a lucky man.”
[17:01] goodtimes93: that will go miles sir

Tim Riley (tmorly)

May 11, 2007

8:23 AM me: i heard edyta had a lot fun on the road with you guys
 tmorly: yeah its a good time out here
  im currently in huntsville, al on my laptop with 3000 screaming kids
  running around
  trying to find a hotel in chattanooga, tn for the night
8:24 AM me: i thought you were going to say screaming girls, like you were with n’sync or something
  do u get wireless down there, or do you need to connect
8:26 AM tmorly: i have a verizon wireless usb modem
  its $60 a month
  but you can get online anywhere
 me: and you get connection down in alabanma
  wifi
 tmorly: yes
8:27 AM full strength
8:28 AM me:
but on the road, would you say that you would need to be in city center
areas or relatively populated areas to get connection? can you connect
while driving?
 tmorly: yes i can connect while driving
  some spots are weak
8:29 AM but on the whole, i get decent speeds
  like 300k
  which is good for being mobile
 me: strong enough to upload videos and photos, that’s what is most important
  and looking for hotels too
  cool
  you have your apple laptop
  ?
8:30 AM tmorly: yes
  yes i can upload at about 75k a second of video, pics are faster
8:31 AM i think it really depends on where you upload
8:33 AM me: im thinking about getting a macbook
  is that what u have
 tmorly: i have a powerbook
  which i love because of its size
  they dont make them anymore
  you can get a cheap one refurb
8:34 AM FYI — they are releasing a “green” color of the macbook
  as part of a enviro campaign
 me: i like green
 tmorly: well its supposed to be out in a few months
  the macbook is solid, built in camera is a great touch
8:35 AM me: yea, im still looking to see what apple comes out with;
  good luck
  save money for gas
8:39 AM tmorly: we are trying
  ill chat with u later
 me: later

May 21, 2007

4:22 PM tmorly: i just emailed your other email account because i didnt think you’d read this one
4:24 PM me: thats cool
4:25 PM im kind of getting used to this gchat stuff
4:26 PM but, i usually use meebo for IM, which allows for Gchat, so i wll hardly check this
 tmorly: i see
 me: **, by the way, nice first pitch
  haha
 tmorly: dude
 me: i know that was lame
 tmorly: atrocious
  it was pathetic
  i admit it
 me: no, i mean, my joke
 tmorly: its a lot harder than it looks
  thats for sure
 me: theres a lot of pressure
 tmorly: esp. in front of 40k
4:27 PM and with your face on the jumbotron
  its wierd
 me: re: 250 megs;
4:28 PM on my camera (panasonic lumix), 10 minutes = 1 GB
  so, i go thru a lot of disk space
  and teh quality is pretty good (640×480)
  I have a 1.5-minute video of Bongs, 213mb
 tmorly: interesting
 me: can’t upload to vimeo, will put me over 25megs
 tmorly: yeah edyta has a lumix
  and it shoots high qual video
  huge files
4:29 PM i do remember that
 me: so it is dissapointing not being able to post
  i like vimeo a lot — clean, etc.
 tmorly: bigtime
 me: but 250 megs, c’mon
 tmorly: i think the new version is going to be awesome
  the version you see
now was a big jump
  it used to be shit
  quicktime videos
  it was brutal
4:30 PM me: yes, jakob lodwick’s personal videos
 tmorly: exactly
  how well do you know him
  or, you know, read about him
 me: i’m going to research the future of meebo
  we’ve passed emails once or twice about web stuff
 tmorly: oh really
  interesting
  id love to work for that company
 me: college humor…
4:31 PM tmorly: well, connected ventures
 me: they don’t do anything but make fart jokes all day, and record them
 tmorly: no dude that site is whatever
 me: id like to work there too
 tmorly: they do vimeo and have a few retail tshirt sites
 me: i know that they do a lot of stuff
  im just joking, a lot of jakob’s videos are childish, no?
4:32 PM tmorly: zachklein.com — the other brain behind vimeo
  does most of the design
  yeah jakob is a bit odd
  i think in person he is normal
  he’s one of those odd entertainer types when the camera is on
  thats my guess at least
4:33 PM me: probably
4:34 PM i’d
rather upload high-quality videos and insist on the user downloading
them, rather than putting up half-shit you-tube style videos
 tmorly: definitely
  alright dude im at my stadium
  ill check you later
 me: later
 tmorly: ill actually see you in like 2 weeks
4:35 PM FYI!
 me: cool
  good luck pitching

May 30, 2007

11:18 AM me: so u have two extra tickets for the a’s game?
 tmorly: yes
  i have 4 tickets for each game
11:19 AM for the As game i got two donated, and two from stubhub
 me: and the giants game the following week
  awesome
 tmorly: but im assuming we can all find a place to sit
  for the giants i have 4 donated from the team, so same section
 me: who is oakland playing?\
 tmorly: boston red sox
 me: arent they playing the bosox
 tmorly: the best team in baseball
 me: yea, um’
  it should be filled
  the stadium
 tmorly: thats what they said
  we’ll see
11:20 AM me: but you have tickets nonetheless
 tmorly: yes
 me: awesome

June 27, 2007

9:13 AM tmorly: new vimeo
  it is a lot to take in
  the old version was more simple
  but i think i will like this once i get used to it
  no bump from 250mbs
  megs, i mean
  im sure you’re thrilled
9:15 AM me: i like the old vimeo
  i liked the simplicity
  this is much more social-oriented
9:16 AM tmorly: yeah i think that was always the goal
  there are some features i like
  the videos are bigger
  and you can do full screen
9:17 AM me: yes, but both of those could have been added to the previous framework
9:20 AM tmorly: it needed an upgrade
  the old one was web2.0ish enough
9:21 AM me: it has the feeling of children’s website, disney-ish, nickelodian-style
9:22 AM tmorly: yes, a little bit
  you are right
  i think it will take some getting used to
9:23 AM i also think they will revise a bunch of stuff based on complaints/suggestions
 me: yes, most likely
9:26 AM tmorly: i thought the same thing when they released the last version
  (the disney feel)
  but compared to the other garbage design out there, it just seemed way different
9:30 AM me: garage update…
9:32 AM tmorly: what video player is this

5 minutes
9:37 AM me: its opensource
9:38 AM tmorly: i see

35 minutes

9:04 AM tmorly: i can give you access to my ftp
  i have never even screwed with it
