[00:26] <h00k> Another mailing-list snafu, brought to you by your fearless...whatever I am.
[04:37] <h00k> hello, e'ryone.
[04:37] <h00k> not entirely convinced anyone is here, but I figured I'd try
[04:37] <mikeputnam> ohai
[04:37] <mikeputnam> fine
[04:37] <h00k> zomg.
[04:37] <h00k> hello!
[04:37] <mikeputnam> greetings
[04:38] <h00k> I'm writing ruby.
[04:38] <h00k> I suck at it.
[04:38] <h00k> but I'm kinda having fun.
[04:39] <mikeputnam> i'm obsessing over node.js
[04:39] <h00k> I've seen those letters together before.
[04:39] <mikeputnam> same boat. sucks, but fun.
[04:40] <h00k> I tweeted earlier something along the lines of "As much as I may say I hate coding, it's totally a lie."
[04:40] <mikeputnam> and i saw that tweet
[04:40] <h00k> hah.
[04:40] <h00k> yeah.
[04:42] <h00k> Anyway. what's new with mikeputnam
[04:42] <mikeputnam> node.js
[04:42] <mikeputnam> ;)
[04:42] <mikeputnam> srsly
[04:43] <mikeputnam> h00k: are you on board with all this hackerspace business?
[04:43] <mikeputnam> sector67/milwaukeemakerspace/hackerspaces.org
[04:43] <h00k> No, but I should be.
[04:43] <mikeputnam> h00k: agreed.
[04:44] <mikeputnam> http://dhmn.net
[04:44] <mikeputnam> that's "us" ^^^
[04:44]  * h00k clicks
[04:44] <mikeputnam> where us is people generally in appleton/fox cities
[04:44]  * h00k resisters
[04:44]  * mikeputnam rejoices
[04:46] <mikeputnam> it's a whole separate world of geekyness
[04:46] <h00k> oh, look. Cool.
[04:47] <mikeputnam> many linuxers, but many other interesting stuffs too
[04:47] <h00k> related, my wedding-rsvp I'm working on with rubyonrails is on github
[04:47] <h00k> robotics. Sweet.
[04:49] <mikeputnam> can't find you on github
[04:49] <h00k> anthonyrhook
[04:49] <h00k> https://github.com/anthonyrhook/wedding-rsvp
[04:49] <h00k> specifically
[04:50] <h00k> for whatever reason, I decided anthonyrhook was too long for IRCland
[04:51] <h00k> I currently haveit hosted on heroku
[04:51] <mikeputnam> i've yet to dip my toes in the ruby-on-rails pool
[04:52] <h00k> pffff. yeah, frameworks are like a language-and-a-half by itself.
[04:52] <h00k> luckily, I have exigraff helping me along.
[04:53] <mikeputnam> ugh. this douglasawh guy on identi.ca is non-stop
[04:53] <mikeputnam> framerworks are unfortunate
[04:54] <h00k> too bad he doesn't see the highlight
[04:54] <h00k> they're both....beautiful and ugly.
[04:54] <mikeputnam> they insulate you from mundane stuff (if you already know the base lang) but if you don't know the base lang, you are less likely to learn it.
[04:55] <mikeputnam> you end up learning all the wacky nuances of the framework
[04:55] <mikeputnam> and usually end up confusing features of the base lang and the framework
[04:55] <mikeputnam> at least i have
[04:56] <h00k> :D
[04:57] <h00k> Yeah..it is funky.
[04:58] <mikeputnam> h00k: there's also good stuff re: dhmn on the mailing list
[04:59] <mikeputnam> and recently on irc.freenode too   #dhmn
[05:08] <h00k> schweet.
[21:09] <nickmoeck> Yes! Def Leppard is playing at Summerfest!
