| DammitJim | do you guys know a good place to buy for hard drives? | 13:59 |
|---|---|---|
| maxolasersquad | DammitJim: newegg.com | 14:03 |
| DammitJim | thanks maxolasersquad ... do you know what the best byte for the buck is right now on HDD capacities? | 14:04 |
| maxolasersquad | DammitJim: I'm not really up on who is making the best drives right now. | 14:05 |
| DammitJim | thanks | 14:05 |
| maxolasersquad | Woot! Just finished a three week project to deploy our new billing system to QA for customer testing. | 14:26 |
| maxolasersquad | I had to fight a cobweb of dependencies. | 14:26 |
| DammitJim | isn't that normal? | 14:32 |
| maxolasersquad | Releases like this are rarely easy, but for this one we had modified almost every piece of our system. I got to hunt down what all of those pieces where. | 14:38 |
| maxolasersquad | And then script it out so when we release to production it should be a nice clean release. | 14:40 |
| DammitJim | maxolasersquad, sounds like fun! | 14:42 |
| dantalizing | ok irccloud officially sucks | 15:30 |
| === dantaliz1ng is now known as dantalizing | ||
| dantalizing | morning | 15:44 |
| itnet7 | hey there dantalizing ! | 16:07 |
| DammitJim | man, why is it so hard to figure out how fast a hard drive is! | 16:20 |
| mhall119 | DammitJim: heisenberg? | 16:21 |
| DammitJim | oh really? | 16:22 |
| mhall119 | probably not | 16:22 |
| mhall119 | but it sounded smart | 16:22 |
| DammitJim | I thought it was an ice cream | 16:22 |
| mhall119 | okay, so maybe it didn't sound smart :( | 16:23 |
| mhall119 | what speed are you trying to measure? | 16:23 |
| dantalizing | DammitJim: palimpset doesnt work for you? | 16:23 |
| DammitJim | I'm just trying to figure out what hard drive to buy | 16:23 |
| DammitJim | and there is no easy way to figure out which one is "fastest" | 16:23 |
| DammitJim | out of the ones I've seen... some give you seek time, some give you just rpms, some give you just cache, ya know? | 16:23 |
| dantalizing | toms hardware | 16:24 |
| dantalizing | http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/hard-drives,3.html | 16:24 |
| mhall119 | DammitJim: well, what speed matters most to you? | 16:24 |
| DammitJim | write speed | 16:24 |
| mhall119 | really? | 16:25 |
| DammitJim | yup | 16:25 |
| mhall119 | huh | 16:25 |
| DammitJim | that's my bottleneck right now | 16:25 |
| mhall119 | using ext4? | 16:25 |
| DammitJim | what's the command for that? | 16:25 |
| DammitJim | fdisk? | 16:25 |
| DammitJim | I don't remember honestly | 16:25 |
| dantalizing | DammitJim: check the toms hardware link | 16:26 |
| DammitJim | thanks dantalizing ... some of the hard drives I was looking at are in there | 16:26 |
| reya276 | Good Afternoon Everyone | 17:06 |
| crashsystems | ugh, I just got into work :/ | 17:07 |
| dantalizing | morning reya276 | 17:07 |
| dantalizing | crashsystems: you slacker | 17:07 |
| reya276 | me too dude | 17:07 |
| reya276 | hey dan | 17:07 |
| crashsystems | ha, I usually get in at 9am | 17:07 |
| crashsystems | na* | 17:08 |
| reya276 | i know I'm usually in by 8-8:30am but somehow today just felt like sleeping in, must be the rain | 17:08 |
| crashsystems | bah, site is giving me 404s. Just what IU need | 17:09 |
| reya276 | Hey I tested out this new app for Natty called the Board is pretty cool. is a widget type thing, but it actually has its good points and it can be indeed more useful than just widgets | 17:10 |
| reya276 | oh I also bought this software called illumination from the software center and this thing is pretty damn aswesome | 17:11 |
| crashsystems | what is it? | 17:11 |
| reya276 | I mean awesome for those of us whom don't know anything about how to program for the Linux desktop | 17:11 |
| reya276 | is a visual programming tool, one sec I'll provide a link | 17:12 |
| reya276 | http://radicalbreeze.com/ | 17:12 |
| reya276 | the cool thing about it is that is allows you to create and app and deploy it to multiple environments such as Android, Web, tablets and Linux Desktop | 17:13 |
| reya276 | I saw a demo of it on Youtube and the darn thing is pretty good for it being $40 bucks | 17:14 |
| crashsystems | mhall119: whats this I hear about you working at Canonical? | 17:16 |
| reya276 | oh yeah I forgot my favorite thing it also lets you port the app over to a Flex, Coldfusion environment | 17:16 |
| reya276 | yeah I know for us programmers desktop/web could spell trouble but I don't think this thing can do anything too complex but I could be wrong | 17:18 |
| reya276 | however putting that aside it is impressive | 17:18 |
| crashsystems | so it converts your apps into webapps? I wonder how the security on it works | 17:19 |
| reya276 | crashsystems, oh that i'm not sure but you could sent them an email and ask them about it | 18:43 |
| reya276 | I'm pretty sure they will be happy to answer any questions | 18:43 |
| reya276 | but it is a pretty cool piece of software, I started messing with it at hope. I'm actually trying to create some apps for our internal use here at the office | 18:44 |
| crashsystems | they might not be an unbiased source of info in that regard | 18:44 |
| reya276 | well no I think they would tell you | 18:44 |
| maxolasersquad | Anyone here use Gnash instead of Flash? | 18:44 |
| reya276 | I don't think they have nothing to gain by deceiving you (the consumer) | 18:45 |
| reya276 | they have also said on their youtube presentations that they want people to test it and try to find any issues which they should fix, such as security issues etc... | 18:46 |
| crashsystems | most companies prefer to say their product is secure. look at adobe for example. | 18:46 |
| crashsystems | if they are encouraging people to find security problems, thats definately a good sign | 18:46 |
| reya276 | well those are two different things entirely, your talking about a company which caters to a Dumb down community(no offense to anyone in here) which uses Windows/MAC by default security for them is always the last thing they think about because if not they would be Linux users right | 18:48 |
| reya276 | compared to this company which created their software primarily for Linux Development, the other stuff got added on afterwards as people started asking them for it | 18:49 |
| reya276 | So I think in this case security was one of the top things on their list since they are catering to the linux community which takes that very very seriously | 18:50 |
| mhall119 | crashsystems: hiya | 18:50 |
| mhall119 | I started there a couple weeks ago | 18:50 |
| maxolasersquad | Dang, Gnashed failed on my pretty quickly. Youtube videos all say "An error occured, please try again later." | 18:52 |
| maxolasersquad | s/Gnashed/Gnash | 18:52 |
| crashsystems | mhall119: congrats! What are you doing at canonical? | 18:53 |
| mhall119 | web development | 18:53 |
| mhall119 | mostly django, though probably some PHP soon | 18:53 |
| crashsystems | thats what I suspected. sounds like fun | 18:54 |
| mhall119 | so far it is | 18:55 |
| mhall119 | it's like working on loco-directory, only with pay | 18:55 |
| mhall119 | and deadlines | 18:55 |
| mhall119 | and quality control requirements | 18:56 |
| mhall119 | but on the plus side, I'm getting pretty good at writing unit tests | 18:56 |
| reya276 | mhall119, you working at Canonical, where? meaning what part of the US? | 18:57 |
| reya276 | damn dude Congrats! | 18:58 |
| dantalizing | havent you heard reya276 ? canonical hates freedom | 18:59 |
| dantalizing | that was sarcasm btw | 18:59 |
| DammitJim | any of you looking for a PHP developer? | 19:12 |
| maxolasersquad | Gnash 0.8.9 seems to work well. | 19:14 |
| reya276 | sweet dude, just make sure you get me Mark S. autograph | 19:18 |
| maxolasersquad | reya276: I've got a few pictures of me and Mark. No sig though. | 19:19 |
| maxolasersquad | And one with Jono. | 19:20 |
| maxolasersquad | You should come out to UDS this October. | 19:20 |
| reya276 | LOL, nah Jono is wack | 19:20 |
| dantalizing | lol | 19:20 |
| reya276 | lol... | 19:20 |
| crashsystems | I'll just nip over to the -ca channel and tell him you said that :D | 19:21 |
| maxolasersquad | reya276: Yeah, he's a pretty crazy guy. | 19:29 |
| DammitJim | you guys always have jobs for people... any PHP jobs? | 20:46 |
| reya276 | DammitJim, you looking for work? | 20:53 |
| DammitJim | reya276, no but a good friend of mine | 20:54 |
| DammitJim | and he does PHP and something else.. and I've heard you guys talk about that sometimes | 20:54 |
| reya276 | he lives around your area? | 20:54 |
| DammitJim | yes | 20:54 |
| reya276 | I can ask some of my recruiters to see if they have any PHP openings | 20:55 |
| DammitJim | that would be awesome | 20:55 |
| reya276 | sure dude no problem | 20:55 |
| DammitJim | what recruiter? | 20:56 |
| mhall119 | reya276: I'm still here in Lakeland | 20:57 |
| mhall119 | working from home | 20:57 |
| reya276 | oh that rocks dude | 20:57 |
| mhall119 | DammitJim: in Tampa I know of some | 20:58 |
| reya276 | so you can just work in your PJ's sweet dude | 20:58 |
| mhall119 | DammitJim: also a Java position in Orlando | 20:58 |
| DammitJim | I don't know if he could do tampa, but it's worth the shot | 20:58 |
| mhall119 | reya276: I've only done that once ;) | 20:58 |
| DammitJim | I can't work from home LOL | 20:59 |
| mhall119 | DammitJim: have him call Apex, Tech Systems, Insight Global, and Princeton Information | 20:59 |
| DammitJim | I guess he has LAMP experience | 20:59 |
| DammitJim | no Java | 20:59 |
| mhall119 | there's usually PHP openings in Orlando | 20:59 |
| DammitJim | if he knew java, I would be hammering him all the time | 20:59 |
| DammitJim | mhall119, what's your source? | 21:00 |
| mhall119 | DammitJim: I don't have a specific person | 21:01 |
| DammitJim | oh ok | 21:01 |
| mhall119 | have him lookup those 4 recruiters I posted | 21:01 |
| DammitJim | oh, those are recruiters? | 21:01 |
| mhall119 | yeah | 21:01 |
| DammitJim | ok, thanks | 21:01 |
| mhall119 | no problem | 21:01 |
