tonyyarussoTakyoji: I connect to Freenode with SASL now, but that's about it.03:20
tonyyarussokermit: uh, a) that's redundant, b) I don't think that's what he meant.03:20
tonyyarussoTakyoji: grep has a recursive option.03:20
Takyojiahh03:22
TakyojiOne question that I never feel that I'm absolute complete with is: How would you define open source to a person?03:22
Takyojiabsolutely complete with is*03:23
kermitrefer to blue prints03:24
kermitblueprints03:24
TakyojiThe example I typically use is a cookie and a cookie recipe.03:25
kermitrecipe is good03:25
tonyyarussoTakyoji: depends on a) who the person is, and b) how much time you have03:26
TakyojiPretty much03:26
TakyojiEventually I just want to make a basic diagram (but nothing too extensive at all)03:27
kermithow about.. "you know those electronics with the really weird screws noone has the right tools to unscrew?  that's the opposite of open source."08:50
h00kkermit: I suppose that's pretty accurate16:12
TakyojiI feel like such a nerd. xP19:05
TakyojiI had a dream that I had ran an installfest locally.19:05
kermitTakyoji: how about.. "you know those electronics with the really weird screws noone has the right tools to unscrew?  that's the opposite of open source."19:05
TakyojiOoo, that's a brilliant idea19:06
kermitTakyoji: thanks19:06
h00kis MN doing anything for the upcoming Global Jam?19:06
kermitTakyoji: i like how it inspires a more emotional response, because a lot of people have actually tried to open such electronics and been frustrated19:07
TakyojiWhen they even go off on their own tangent away from industry standards to have their own obscure screw set, and so forth19:07
TakyojiHow about the electronics with NO external screws? :P19:07
TakyojiNow those are just a ball of fun (sarcasm implied)19:08
TakyojiWhere the casing is two plastic parts, and there's internal latches that hold it together19:09
kermitone could argue that's for cheap assembly though19:09
mr_steve_or plastic that's ultrasonically welded together19:10
=== mr_steve_ is now known as mr_steve
Takyojiheheh19:10
mr_steveI've been harvesting components from old/broken electronics, and I end up using the sledgehammer to take things apart half the time19:16
Takyojiheh19:17
