_stink_fun!  water in the basement.12:30
rick_h___stink_: ugh :(12:49
rick_h___stink_: sump not playing nice?12:49
brouschanother flooded basement?12:51
rick_h__seems to be par for the rainy couse12:55
rick_h__we better get some good may flowers out of this12:55
brouschmy wife was pissed. she came home last night and the hostas had been eaten been rabbits12:56
_stink_rick_h__: we actually don't have a sump.  afaik most of the houses around here don't, or have had them filled in.  not sure why13:00
rick_h___stink_: ah, ok.13:00
_stink_but it looks like the pipe out to the city sewer is partially blocked.13:01
_stink_so the rain water couldn't join up and drain out.13:01
_stink_so through the walls it came.13:01
brouschlovely13:08
_stink_and of course, we can't use the water till the line is snaked or whatever.13:09
brouschstick ur arm down in there13:09
rick_h__ah the joys of home ownership13:10
rick_h__you know growing up my uncle told me to never buy a house13:10
rick_h__and I just laughed13:10
rick_h__but after owning one...hmmm...not sure if I agree more13:10
brouschyeah, pita13:11
_stink_yeah, we were just commisserating about that here.13:16
brouschif i weren't married i would live in a tiny apartment13:19
brouschno lawn to mow, no appliances to fix myself, just me and my computer13:19
brouschand would get bored out of my mind after a week13:20
rick_h__only thing is I'd miss the dog13:20
rick_h__but yea, I remember my days of my two bedroom appt with my bedroom/office13:20
brouschi'm so tired of our dogs13:28
snap-lYay, four inches of water under the house.13:28
brouschsnap-l: yikes!13:28
rick_h__well, under the house is ok right?13:29
rick_h__as long as it's not in the house13:29
snap-lrick_h__: Yeah, I think this is par for this house13:29
snap-lBUt this morning I heard running water under the house13:29
snap-lso I went outside to dig it a little away from the grate where it was coming in like gangbusters.13:29
snap-lApparently Royal Oak has a problem with this. :)13:30
snap-lMaybe because we don't have drainage ditches13:31
brouschhow do you have water under a house?13:49
brouschis it on stilts?13:49
jrwrenbrousch: wtf would I write an IE extension?   shame on you!13:50
rick_h__jrwren: hah! come on, we're relying on you13:50
rick_h__doesn't IE have extensions now?13:50
jrwrenyes13:52
jrwrenbut i ain't writing one.13:52
rick_h__boooo, non-team player13:53
jrwrendoes this work pay?13:54
rick_h__no, it's OSS13:55
rick_h__it's "for fun"13:55
snap-lbrousch: There's a crawl space under the house13:55
jrwreni can't think of anything fun about writing an IE extension13:55
snap-lso it's not a proper basement13:55
rick_h__jrwren: and that's why I told my wife there will never be a bookie extension for IE13:56
jrwrenwhat would an extension do that a bookmarklet wouldn't do?13:57
jrwrenI always hated delicious extension and much prefered the bookmarklet13:57
rick_h__let's you edit, add tags, provides auto completion of tags as you type, tag hints, etc13:58
rick_h__retrieves existing data if you've already bookmarked the current page13:58
jrwrenbookmarklet does all that for me.13:58
brouscha bookie browser toolbar!13:59
rick_h__ah crap14:00
snap-lThe Natty is released14:02
brouschie users can keep it right between their google toolbar and yahoo toolbar14:02
ColonelPanic001rick_h__: I'd like to learn more Android dev stuff. Interested in a Bookie app?14:03
brouschsnap-l: i guess that explains why my dist-upgrade fell to modem speed14:04
snap-la-yep14:04
snap-lThe intertubes are plugged in Canonicalville14:05
rick_h__ColonelPanic001: completely if you'd like14:05
rick_h__I'd be more than happy to help with any API stuff you might need/etc14:06
ColonelPanic001it's more interesting than "hello world" style book examples14:06
rick_h__Yea, I always like learning with something more interesting14:06
rick_h__and since bookie pulls/parses pages you can actually display the bookmark content as well14:06
brouschColonelPanic001: you thinking native android or something less java?14:06
rick_h__we can add some api access for that and searches14:06
ColonelPanic001native14:06
snap-lYou mean there's more to programming than Hello World?14:06
snap-lShit, I have a lot of catching up to do14:06
rick_h__snap-l: only for those that are insane14:07

brouschewwwwwwwwwww14:08
ColonelPanic001it's like stripped-down Rails (as far as this non-rails guy can see) that runs on a phone.14:09
snap-lbrousch: Would you rather write Java?14:09
brouschappcelerator uses javascript14:09
rick_h__Blazeix: doh, there was that X crash again14:09
brouschphonegap too14:10
ColonelPanic001yeah, phonegap was another one they considered14:10
ColonelPanic001they did this and decided before I was hired in, though, so don't know what they were weighing as pros and cons14:10
jjessedid 11.04 release yet?  i kinda lost track of the actual release date14:13
snap-lJust in time for !penguicon, it's !openmetalcast Club Metal Episode 2. http://ur1.ca/41fl5 Jack into the mainframe and get this episode!14:13
ColonelPanic001yeah14:13
snap-ljjesse: It's released.14:13
ColonelPanic001I just got the notification in my update thinger14:13
jjessenice14:13
ColonelPanic001I'll probably backup adn do it on Monday.14:13
ColonelPanic001same on the desktop at home. It's a couple releases behind now, I think.14:13
jjesseseemed to not have the same excitement at home14:13
jjessesorry14:14
jjesseseemed not to have the same excitment as last release (saw more announcements)14:14
snap-lYeah, I'm still on LTS at home14:14
snap-ljjesse: I think it was more heads-down this release14:14
snap-llot of moving parts14:14
snap-lAnd frankly, not as much excitement over Unity14:14
snap-l(or I should say positive excitement)14:15

snap-lThink once Unity gets more mature Ubuntu will get the faithful back14:16
snap-lHaven't used Gnome shell in a while14:16
snap-lProblem is, no matter which distro you go to, you'll have to think14:17
snap-land that's one thing we've grown stale about. The environment just works14:18
ColonelPanic001I'm on Kubuntu anyway. Don't care what the main distro does with Unity.14:22
brouschyeah, you're used to an annoying ui and breakages every few months14:24
ColonelPanic001never really broke for me. Maybe the gnome users aren't used to being able to change a setting.14:24
ColonelPanic001I guess it can be annoying, having choices.14:24
brouschdistracting14:25
ColonelPanic001I bet if you call up apple, you could get a one-button mouse, too14:25
brouschno button mouse14:26
brouschtrackpad and taps14:26
ColonelPanic001but then there's both the x and y axis. That's too much choice.14:26

ColonelPanic001none of my usual group is going to Penguicon but me.14:49
ColonelPanic001Aw well. Free beer and cosplaying girls is all I need.14:49
brouschjust make sure they're really girls14:50
ColonelPanic001If I check, might find out otherwise. Ignorance is bliss.14:51
greg-gand as long as they're attractive, they're attractive, right?14:51
ColonelPanic001^14:52
greg-goo, updates for 10.10 today as well15:16
greg-gdon't worry, I'm not hitting that "Upgrade to 11.04" button quite yet ;)15:16

krondorgot my psn account compromise notice from sony today.  Fun times...16:23
snap-lYay for meetings16:24
snap-lAlso, my trash bags blew into the neighbors yard.16:26
rick_h__krondor: yay, get all those passwords and CC numbers changed16:30
krondorCC already is expired :) and password was unique for it.. what sucks though is the security questions and other bio info (address/name/what not).  Easy to reset passwords on other sites/open lines of credit/find out SS numbers when you know security questions + email address and such.16:31
rick_h__yea, the security questions are a huge deal16:32
greg-gyeah, that crap sucks :(16:32
rick_h__almost wish the db came out so people would reset accounts based on the leaked emails like the gawker case16:32
rick_h__obviously that's bad so not all the way hoping, but ugh16:32
ColonelPanic001suddenly I'm glad I've never used PSN16:33
krondorI'd say it's preferable full disclosure and leak of what is out then never seeing it... block out the passwords on the leak (but they'd never do that).  I do like seeing the stats on most used password and such16:33
brouschpasswords were stolen? not just hashes?16:34
ColonelPanic001I *heard* they weren't even hashed.16:34
ColonelPanic001heard, though.16:34
snap-lColonelPanic001: Worse, it was also sent to the terminal unhashed16:35
snap-l(from what I've heard)16:35
brouschgeez16:35
krondorthe email reads like unhashed; http://pastebin.com/Xx4hCGD316:36
snap-lYeah, this is a major clusterfuck16:37
ColonelPanic001I'd say something about stupid programmers, but they probably are as pissed as everyone else. Probably some retarded middle manager dictated it.16:37
snap-lAlso heard that developers had access to production systems, and vice versa16:37
ColonelPanic001frak knows why16:37
snap-lMajor cock-up16:37
brouschQriocity? is that read as curio city or curiosity?16:38
ColonelPanic001"major cock-up" should mean a good thing. When my cock is majorly up, it's not a bad thing.16:38
ColonelPanic001well, not for me anyway16:38
brouschdepends on where you are when it happens16:39
ColonelPanic001touche16:39
greg-geg: Penguicon?16:40
snap-ldepends on what area of Penguicon. ;)16:40
ColonelPanic001depends on where you are when it happens16:40

greg-gruh roh, I think my full harddisk caused some problems with my maildir18:10
rick_h__oops18:12
snap-loh, that sucks18:12
rick_h__if I could figure out attachments I'd love to just run mutt on the server like I do irssi18:12
* greg-g nods18:12
greg-gsame18:12
rick_h__but that extra layer of getting attachments down to view is a pita18:12
greg-gweird, offlineimap runs fine, no errors, but mutt isn't starting up18:13
greg-gand ctrl-c isn't stopping it18:13
greg-gharumph!18:13
greg-ghttp://paste.mitechie.com/show/301/18:14
greg-gI think I messed up when I restarted my laptop, started up my usual 4/5 mutt instances, and the disk was already full at that time18:15
greg-gruh roh! my ls in .mutt/ is hanging18:16
greg-gand I was planning on being uber productive this afternoon! :(18:17
snap-lMeans something likely has it locked18:18
snap-lreboot?18:18
rick_h__hmmm, but it's an offlineimap sync right?18:18
rick_h__I mean you can blow that away and not really lose anything right?18:19
greg-grick_h__: well, now I'm thinking offlineimap wasn't the issue, but instead mutt18:19
rick_h__hmmm, interesting18:19
greg-gsnap-l: that is my next attempt....18:21
snap-lYeah, sounds like something isn't releasing a lock or something18:21
snap-lor the filesystem got mounted read-only, possibly?18:22
rick_h__if you've got several mutt running maybe some command went haywire?18:22
rick_h__notmuch search or something?18:22
greg-greboot worked18:27
greg-gsad I had to18:27
rick_h__interesting18:28
rick_h__rsync email /dev/sdb118:28
snap-lWorking out the playlist for Open Metalcast 20 that I'm going to be putting together at Penguicon18:30
snap-lShould be brutal18:30
snap-lFunny thing is I'm listening to the playlist before putting it into the show18:30
snap-lusually I do that after the show is put together. ;)18:31
greg-gheh18:32
brouschrick_h__: what about a dropbox-like program for syncing attachments from mutt? save attachment to dir, that dir syncs to your local machine18:36
greg-gbrousch: still a couple more steps then just pressing <enter> to open the file :/18:37
brouschi suppose18:38
brouschbut then you're running a console-based mail client, so you must enjoy pushing keys18:39
greg-g:P18:39
rick_h__brousch: what I have thought of is to write a script with a config to a public http accessible dir18:40
rick_h__and then generating a link to it that you could paste into a browser/click on18:40
rick_h__but the big thing then is dealing with the fact that it's open and needs periodic cleanup18:41
greg-grick_h__: cronjob that deletes files every 20 minutes?18:41
rick_h__and I don't know how to write scripts for mutt18:41
rick_h__greg-g: yea18:41
brouschi think dropbox would work better18:41
rick_h__meh, how so?18:41
brouschthen it's private and easy to clean out18:41
rick_h__you'd have to copy it off site, and then download it18:41
greg-grick_h__: they're just your run of the mill bash/whatever script that takes piped input and parses it, does something, returns18:41
rick_h__double transfer18:41
rick_h__brousch: and then you've got the reverse problem still, how do I add an attachment18:42
brouschyou want to run mutt on a server through screen right?18:42
rick_h__brousch: right18:42
brouschadd attchment, just stick it in the synced folder18:42
brouschthen attach on the server18:43
rick_h__ic18:43
rick_h__maybe18:43
brouschuse a free 2GB acct and share it with your paid acct18:43
greg-gactually, the dropbox method might not be a bad idea.... I have dropbox running my server... and that's where all my working documents live anyways..... at least for attaching, it isn't any different. For opening, it is an extra couple steps18:43
brouschsave it, twiddle thumbs, double-click it18:44
rick_h__yea, I guess I've not setup on my server (actually not reset up on my laptop yet either)18:44
brouschheck, that's how i view half of my attachments now18:44
rick_h__yea, gotcha18:44
brouschmy god. autodesk inventor 2010 is 6 DVDs to install, and then there are 7 service packs totaling about 250MB for x86 and 500MB for amd6418:51
greg-grick_h__: though, a combo Dropbox/U1 and your script would be awesome. script takes the attachement, saves it to your attachment_tmp dir, asks Dropbox/U1 for the priate URL of that file, displays it in that buffer area for you (before you "hit any key to continue")18:56
greg-gthat way, you can either go to the URL or just navigate to the folder in your laptop's Dropbox/U1 folder18:57
binbrainPandora broke Pithos yesterday, fixed today, FTW18:58

rick_h__wooo! I can crush 12yr olds!19:03

rick_h__now that my self estime is lifted for the day, maybe I'll try to get some work done19:03
greg-g:)19:03

jrwrenheh, Jennifer Marsman just texted me asking if I was going to penguicon.19:04

binbrainYATM taken yet? (yet another tiling manager)19:12
krondorrick_h__:  did you end up getting CM7 on it...19:34
rick_h__krondor: yea, I've had CM7, but GPS issues still19:34
rick_h__some known problems with people that have been through some upgrades19:35
rick_h__did some dd hacks that didn't work, next up is flashing the radio, but have to get the android dev tools to do that19:35
krondoryeah I was going to say I'd go to a radio flash, radio is closely tied to GPS as they're the same chip19:36
brouschi had issues when i was overclocking. i went back to stock speed and a few issues stopped19:37
rick_h__yea, just getting nervous that everything I'm told to try has "this can brick your phone" tied to it19:37
rick_h__yea, no overclocking, jst stock CM719:37
krondorrick_h__:  hmm see this; http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/20259-no-gps-lock-using-cm70-stable-rom-on-htc-incredible/ looks like people have a range of success from new radios to uninstalling weatherbug (wtf?) to formatting their sd card (double wtf?)19:38
brouschmy big problem was camera flash and shutter out of sync19:38
rick_h__krondor: yea, so no weatherbug19:38
rick_h__and the sd card thing is that there's some metadata on the card that needs to be reset that this dd command is supposed to clear19:38
brouschi run weatherbug, but it is a slow hog if you run it in the background instead of on demand19:38
rick_h__and new radio is last on the list for me19:38
krondoryou'll have to let me know what it turns out being19:39
rick_h__well if it's not the radio not sure what to do next19:39
rick_h__getting time for a new phone... :)19:39
brouschbah, i'm stilling using original android19:40
krondorbrousch19:40
krondorg1?19:40
brouschsorry, original droid19:41
krondorsorry finger slipped hit enter by mistake.  Oh yeah my droid 1 died (digitizer fail), 3 dollars for the chip with some serious solder skills for surface mount or 80 dollars to replace at a cell repair shop on 9 mile.  I gave it to my bro in law and bought a captivate on craigslist.19:42
krondordroid 1 was great though.  No locked nand, super overclockable, great loudspeaker and gps.19:42
brouschthe fact that you would even consider replacing a single chip yourself tells me you must be a truly great geek19:43
krondoror I'm dumb and a glutton for punishment.. I did run Gentoo until recently, for what it's worth.19:45

rick_h__man, I love pyramid, so much nicer than pylons20:13
binbrainI think its arguably the cleanest best designed web framework in Python space20:15
rick_h__getting to do the first stab at a pyramid app at work20:15
binbrainare you bumping heads with ZTK much?20:16
rick_h__things just fall into place nicely,20:16
rick_h__nope, not at all20:16
rick_h__still sticking with routes/alchemy20:16
binbrainI think that's the way to go20:16
rick_h__but working on trying to build some modular apps, so going to be having some fun with things20:16
rick_h__want to be able to start with a base and add apps onto it with little code/config20:16
binbrainunless you want ZODB, I'd say stick with routes20:16
rick_h__yea, we're used to that20:17
binbrainI really like the way Pyramid uses events20:18
binbrainits taken from Zope, but cleaner to understand20:18
krondorwow do I hate the font on the new status.net site (not sure how new or when it was changed, looks totally different though...)20:35
krondoras far as I can tell c e a o are the same letter20:36

jcastroanyone know whot he tech lead for penguicon is again?21:08
snap-lKrunal21:10

jcastroand I certainly won't be attending "Unity: Dividing Us All"21:11
jcastroon Sunday too, wth.21:12
snap-lYeah, I didn't understand the point of that talk21:12
jcastrook so I have a record of me accepting XBMC and 11.04 panels21:15
jcastroand he asked about lightning talks and I said "sure", but that's on saturday so that works out21:15
jcastroI think I would have remembered "Do you want to get railed on by UNIX people?"21:17
jcastrohah man, I bet it was rick21:17
jcastrohe probably got a bunch of tiling window manager guys together to set me up21:17
