[10:13] universefreeze is when we can only do bug fixes [10:13] clean up :) [10:20] bddebian: ok, so what exactly is seb saying? we shouldn't have done the .desktops to start with, or now that we've done them we should send them upstream upstream [10:20] you should have done them upstream === andi5 [n=ak47@p548BAD97.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-motu [10:20] to start with [10:21] I guess [10:21] LaserJock: Hey, it's less work for me [10:21] you dont guess [10:21] his point is, upstream collects translations [10:21] you don't [10:22] I highly doubt that most of these packages have a "translation team" [10:22] most of these projects are so silly [10:22] that it doesnt matter [10:22] time to go [10:22] Later tseng [10:25] bddebian: that's my point, seb is used to working with Gnome [10:25] a fair amount of these projects are basically dead as far as this sort of thing [10:26] Well I'm getting mighty freakin' tired of getting beat over the head [10:26] bddebian: just blame me [10:26] I'm not blaming you for anything. Hell there was a wiki page when I started with Ubuntu about getting .desktop files in [10:28] slomo_: are you around? [10:33] bddebian: better? [10:34] I'm still struggling with sending things upstream === slomo__ [n=slomo@dslb-084-061-176-067.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu === Pazzo [n=thomas@host130-250-static.72-81-b.business.telecomitalia.it] has joined #ubuntu-motu === LaserJock [n=mantha@ubuntu/member/laserjock] has joined #ubuntu-motu === mukund [n=mukund@62.3.217.116] has joined #ubuntu-motu === cyberix [n=cyberix@hoas-fe17dd00-69.dhcp.inet.fi] has left #ubuntu-motu [] === zul [n=chuck@ubuntu/member/zul] has joined #ubuntu-motu [10:58] bddebian: you're just lucky you've got a hole to crawl back into ;-) [10:58] heh [10:58] bddebian: honestly though, don't hesitate to blame me for the science .desktops [10:59] I'm feeling like I kinda screwed that one up [10:59] Nah [10:59] although, tbh, the reason I made the .desktop push in MOTU Science was because of seb :-) [11:00] No one ever told me that stuff before [11:00] me neither [11:03] I'm just a moron, apparently [11:04] Well you and me both baby :-) [11:04] hi bddebian [11:04] i am home [11:05] bddebian: we should plan on dinner this weekend === plugwash [i=plugwash@p10link.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu === theCore [n=alex@modemcable240.218-70-69.mc.videotron.ca] has joined #ubuntu-motu [11:21] tseng: why so you can convince me to quit? ;-P [11:23] bddebian: er, no [11:23] unless you have a CCNP and want to work 11-8 [11:23] 11-7u [11:24] I'd work 11-7 but I'm no CCNP [11:24] bddebian, tseng : are you working in the same place? :) [11:24] sivang: er, no [11:24] tseng: And I meant quit MOTUship anyway :-) [11:24] oh === fowlduck doesn't want a CCNP [11:24] hah [11:24] fowlduck: why not? [11:24] good money [11:24] what's a CCNP ? [11:24] cisco certified network professional [11:25] level 2 cisco cert, pretty tough [11:25] tseng, i did some networking, I have a networking degree, discovered I hate it [11:25] sorry to hear that [11:25] i think high-end cisco is more stable than programming [11:25] yeah, 2 years of school to discover that [11:25] luckily i do both [11:25] and sysadmin [11:25] me too [11:25] i am diverse [11:26] going to school for web programming [11:26] did the networking bit [11:26] school is for suckers [11:26] and do sysadmin junk for hobby [11:26] tseng: wow , cool [11:26] heh === sivang did QA & Integration in 3 places already. Got hired and favored over degree [11:26] it's hard to get hired without education [11:27] I'm a condensed phase laser spectroscopist working in nanosensors, I guess I didn't get the diversification memo ;-) [11:27] and education has rounded me out [11:27] degreed people, that is [11:27] LaserJock, LOL [11:27] LaserJock: hehe [11:27] LaserJock: are you ? [11:27] yeah [11:29] LaserJock: nano sensors, I take it you're into nano technology ? [11:29] LaserJock: have you dealt with agents already? === sivang is interested in the application and design of nano agents [11:29] it's taken 8 years of university training, but I've managed to become specialized enough to become virtually unemployable [11:30] hmm === sivang EPARSE [11:30] sivang, I don't know what background you have or where you live, but here it's very hard to get looked at without some sort of education [11:30] fowlduck: where are you at? [11:31] sivang, Madison, WI [11:31] fowlduck: ah, US right ? [11:31] sivang, ya [11:31] sivang: I like nanotechnology, but from a physics/chemistry perspective [11:31] most nanotechnology isn't really nano ;-) [11:31] LaserJock, I like it from a "WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?!?" perspective [11:32] LaserJock: ah, so you're into actually thinking up what material to use to build a nano agent per task [11:32] sivang: I'm working on a molecular motor that is 1 nm in size [11:32] LaserJock: although as the physical body implementor, you should hage some knowledge about the algorithm [11:33] LaserJock: does newtonian mechanics apply to calculate force, throughput and utilization as they do in regular size world? [11:34] I think roughly, things get a little weird (read: we don't really know a lot) at such a small scale [11:34] ah, I see [11:34] we try to think in terms of torque and efficency, but they are really hard to determine [11:35] we are going to try to determine torque by attaching the motor to circular DNA strands and "winding" the DNA up like a rubber band === andi5 [n=ak47@p548BAD97.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has left #ubuntu-motu [] [11:35] wow, cool [11:35] sounds easy [11:35] heh === fowlduck does that in his sleep [11:36] ;) [11:36] but my research involves trying to determine wheither the motors actually rotate and if they do wheither they rotate unidirectionally [11:36] fowlduck: of course ;-) [11:37] but doing that on a 1 nm object that is rotating at potentially MHz-GHz frequencies isn't trivial :-) [11:37] wouldn't it have to be attached to something stationary on the other side of the motor in order to twist the DNA from one end? [11:37] fowlduck: we attache each end to an end of DNA [11:37] attach [11:37] ahh, i see [11:37] so you take a piece of circular DNA [11:37] cut it [11:38] then attach each end of the motor to the ends [11:38] reforming the circle [11:38] but now with a rotating piece in the middle :-) [11:38] god, this sounds like sci fi [11:39] of course [11:39] sci fi is just science waiting to happen :-) [11:39] good sci fi anyway [11:39] like scientology?!!?!? ;D [11:39] LaserJock: btw, we have a good lab for nano tech in the uni where I attended pre-uni course, well known, check it out [11:39] LaserJock: http://rbni.technion.ac.il/employment.html [11:39] LaserJock: I think they've come up with some of the more moving changes in the discipline that last couple of yuears, [11:40] LaserJock: I can't acutally recall what they've done, but there was some ceremony for that :) [11:40] looks cool [11:40] I haven't even told you guys about the "other" research that we do in my lab ;-) [11:40] tseng: Oh crap, I'm heading to Illinois on Thurs, so I can't buy you dinner :-( [11:41] LaserJock: which is ? :) [11:41] bddebian: ok. [11:41] bddebian: ill buy if yo ustay [11:41] sivang: we are taking cigar shaped molecules and trapping them in 3D space. Then turn them into gyroscopes that we can shoot at other molecules :-) [11:42] LaserJock: wow! do you have any computer simulation or laser scope firms of that stuff when you do it ? [11:42] films, even [11:43] LaserJock: what's the 3D space made of btw? [11:43] electromagnetic radiation, of course ;-) [11:44] hey sivang :) [11:44] basically, if you time a radio frequency field right in 3D you can create a "trap" that will catch ~ 1000 molecules for up to ~ 10 s at a time [11:44] we are still at the "getting it to work" stage [11:45] but we have a fair amount of compuational simulations [11:45] basically we use a circularly polarized laser to put selective angular momentum into the molecules [11:46] so the start spinning in one direction, and as we put more and as we hit them more and more with the laser, the begin to all line up in the same direction, spinning in the same sense [11:47] wow, that sentance has a few holes in it [11:47] whawo === sivang not sure he understood all of it [11:47] np [11:47] raphink: hey Raphael! how are you? [11:47] shalom sivang, ani shlom tov :) [11:47] tseng: :-) [11:47] I have to practice these talks for my family, usually I get a whiteboard though [11:47] I have GOT to get home. Later folks [11:47] cya bddebian [11:48] laters bddebian [11:48] v ma shlomkha sivang ? [11:48] LaserJock: is there any or could there be any corolation or to use nanotechnology as a tool to discover stuff in string theory and sub atomic worlds? [11:48] raphink: hakol beseder! I see Sahar taught you hebrew :) [11:48] sivang: no he didn't ;) I knew that already ;) [11:48] raphink: where form? [11:49] I've been studying hebrew for years, bit by bit [11:49] a bit of modern hebrew by myself [11:49] and biblical hebrew, too [11:49] in a group [11:50] :) [11:50] sivang: it's possible I suppose, my general feeling is that we don't have nearly as much understanding at that level as we (scientific community) would need [11:50] raphink: I'll be lucky if I get German or French down [11:50] hehe [11:53] raphink: what motivated you to learn it?
