[13:59] do you guys know a good place to buy for hard drives? [14:03] DammitJim: newegg.com [14:04] thanks maxolasersquad ... do you know what the best byte for the buck is right now on HDD capacities? [14:05] DammitJim: I'm not really up on who is making the best drives right now. [14:05] thanks [14:26] Woot! Just finished a three week project to deploy our new billing system to QA for customer testing. [14:26] I had to fight a cobweb of dependencies. [14:32] isn't that normal? [14:38] 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. [14:40] And then script it out so when we release to production it should be a nice clean release. [14:42] maxolasersquad, sounds like fun! [15:30] ok irccloud officially sucks === dantaliz1ng is now known as dantalizing [15:44] morning [16:07] hey there dantalizing ! [16:20] man, why is it so hard to figure out how fast a hard drive is! [16:21] DammitJim: heisenberg? [16:22] oh really? [16:22] probably not [16:22] but it sounded smart [16:22] I thought it was an ice cream [16:23] okay, so maybe it didn't sound smart :( [16:23] what speed are you trying to measure? [16:23] DammitJim: palimpset doesnt work for you? [16:23] I'm just trying to figure out what hard drive to buy [16:23] and there is no easy way to figure out which one is "fastest" [16:23] out of the ones I've seen... some give you seek time, some give you just rpms, some give you just cache, ya know? [16:24] toms hardware [16:24] http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/hard-drives,3.html [16:24] DammitJim: well, what speed matters most to you? [16:24] write speed [16:25] really? [16:25] yup [16:25] huh [16:25] that's my bottleneck right now [16:25] using ext4? [16:25] what's the command for that? [16:25] fdisk? [16:25] I don't remember honestly [16:26] DammitJim: check the toms hardware link [16:26] thanks dantalizing ... some of the hard drives I was looking at are in there [17:06] Good Afternoon Everyone [17:07] ugh, I just got into work :/ [17:07] morning reya276 [17:07] crashsystems: you slacker [17:07] me too dude [17:07] hey dan [17:07] ha, I usually get in at 9am [17:08] na* [17:08] i know I'm usually in by 8-8:30am but somehow today just felt like sleeping in, must be the rain [17:09] bah, site is giving me 404s. Just what IU need [17:10] 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 [17:11] oh I also bought this software called illumination from the software center and this thing is pretty damn aswesome [17:11] what is it? [17:11] I mean awesome for those of us whom don't know anything about how to program for the Linux desktop [17:12] is a visual programming tool, one sec I'll provide a link [17:12] http://radicalbreeze.com/ [17:13] 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 [17:14] I saw a demo of it on Youtube and the darn thing is pretty good for it being $40 bucks [17:16] mhall119: whats this I hear about you working at Canonical? [17:16] oh yeah I forgot my favorite thing it also lets you port the app over to a Flex, Coldfusion environment [17:18] 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] however putting that aside it is impressive [17:19] so it converts your apps into webapps? I wonder how the security on it works [18:43] crashsystems, oh that i'm not sure but you could sent them an email and ask them about it [18:43] I'm pretty sure they will be happy to answer any questions [18:44] 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] they might not be an unbiased source of info in that regard [18:44] well no I think they would tell you [18:44] Anyone here use Gnash instead of Flash? [18:45] I don't think they have nothing to gain by deceiving you (the consumer) [18:46] 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] most companies prefer to say their product is secure. look at adobe for example. [18:46] if they are encouraging people to find security problems, thats definately a good sign [18:48] 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 [18:49] 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 [18:50] 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] crashsystems: hiya [18:50] I started there a couple weeks ago [18:52] Dang, Gnashed failed on my pretty quickly. Youtube videos all say "An error occured, please try again later." [18:52] s/Gnashed/Gnash [18:53] mhall119: congrats! What are you doing at canonical? [18:53] web development [18:53] mostly django, though probably some PHP soon [18:54] thats what I suspected. sounds like fun [18:55] so far it is [18:55] it's like working on loco-directory, only with pay [18:55] and deadlines [18:56] and quality control requirements [18:56] but on the plus side, I'm getting pretty good at writing unit tests [18:57] mhall119, you working at Canonical, where? meaning what part of the US? [18:58] damn dude Congrats! [18:59] havent you heard reya276 ? canonical hates freedom [18:59] that was sarcasm btw [19:12] any of you looking for a PHP developer? [19:14] Gnash 0.8.9 seems to work well. [19:18] sweet dude, just make sure you get me Mark S. autograph [19:19] reya276: I've got a few pictures of me and Mark. No sig though. [19:20] And one with Jono. [19:20] You should come out to UDS this October. [19:20] LOL, nah Jono is wack [19:20] lol [19:20] lol... [19:21] I'll just nip over to the -ca channel and tell him you said that :D [19:29] reya276: Yeah, he's a pretty crazy guy. [20:46] you guys always have jobs for people... any PHP jobs? [20:53] DammitJim, you looking for work? [20:54] reya276, no but a good friend of mine [20:54] and he does PHP and something else.. and I've heard you guys talk about that sometimes [20:54] he lives around your area? [20:54] yes [20:55] I can ask some of my recruiters to see if they have any PHP openings [20:55] that would be awesome [20:55] sure dude no problem [20:56] what recruiter? [20:57] reya276: I'm still here in Lakeland [20:57] working from home [20:57] oh that rocks dude [20:58] DammitJim: in Tampa I know of some [20:58] so you can just work in your PJ's sweet dude [20:58] DammitJim: also a Java position in Orlando [20:58] I don't know if he could do tampa, but it's worth the shot [20:58] reya276: I've only done that once ;) [20:59] I can't work from home LOL [20:59] DammitJim: have him call Apex, Tech Systems, Insight Global, and Princeton Information [20:59] I guess he has LAMP experience [20:59] no Java [20:59] there's usually PHP openings in Orlando [20:59] if he knew java, I would be hammering him all the time [21:00] mhall119, what's your source? [21:01] DammitJim: I don't have a specific person [21:01] oh ok [21:01] have him lookup those 4 recruiters I posted [21:01] oh, those are recruiters? [21:01] yeah [21:01] ok, thanks [21:01] no problem [21:02] there's more than that in Orlando, those are just the only ones who's names I can remember
