snap-lrick_h__: Well, your name is anonymous, with you icon as the frisbee icon, and it says that you haven't shared anything with me (private)03:09
rick_h__gotcha03:11
greg-gg'morning12:00
rick_h__morning12:04
rick_h__damn that deal of the day12:31
rick_h__snap-l: how dare you tell me of it12:31
brouschrick_h__: wallet lighter and kindle heavier today?12:34
rick_h__yea12:36
brouschso many metaphors break down in the digital age12:44
rick_h__yea, guess it's more "wallet found/used and kindle with less free memory today?"12:52
rick_h__I've got to get me a DX this year12:53
rick_h__hopefully they'll have new ones out around school time12:54
brouschi'm considering getting this http://oreilly.com/catalog/063692001663213:18
rick_h__I thought the point of app inventor was that you didn't need a book13:18
rick_h__it was so easy kids could use it kind of thing?13:18
rick_h__wow, 384 pages?13:19
rick_h__guess I'm wrong...or lots of screenshots13:19
brouschhah13:20
snap-lrick_h__: I know, right?13:22
rick_h__ snap-l yea, record two books in two days13:22
brouschdid you also see "Building Android Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript"? http://oreilly.com/catalog/063692001006713:22
snap-lThat's a record? :)13:22
rick_h__brousch: yea, there are a few books like that I've been checking reviews on13:22
rick_h__snap-l: lol, for me13:23
rick_h__I had only gotten one deal before13:23
snap-lrick_h__: I thought it would have been 7 books in 2 days.13:23
rick_h__but I'm starting to check my machine for bugs13:23
rick_h__oh, I just mean deal of the day purchases13:23
rick_h__lol, get books all the time, though I've been working hard to stick to the new year's resolution13:23
brouschi really need a tablet so i can read these things on the couch13:23
brouschrick_h__: a new year's resolution to buy _fewer_ books?13:24
rick_h__brousch: yea, "read less..do more"13:24
rick_h__bah, lcd isn't for reading, but man that DX is getting hard to resist13:24
snap-lThe line is due for a refresh anyway.13:25
rick_h__yea, why I'm waiting13:25
rick_h__see what the new one is and maybe save some $$ on a used model13:25
rick_h__Blazeix must be looking to upgrade soon :)13:25
snap-l;)13:26
brouschi only have 1 hour stretches of time to read, so lcd is sufficient. it's just a pita to balance a laptop for reading on the couch13:27
rick_h__yea, laptop reading is fail as well13:27
rick_h__I do a lot of 'read to sleep' stuff13:27
rick_h__so the ereader without the bright light is good for that last 30-60min before bed13:27
brouschi would looooove one of these http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/17/samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-limited-edition-review/13:28
brousch1280x800 on 10" screen13:28
brouschalso i want an android tablet so my son can play around with it13:28
brouschi'm getting annoyed that tigerdirect hasn't sent a replacement for my buggy archos tablet13:29
snap-lThey may have trouble sourcing one13:34
brouschyeah, so send my money back ;)13:38
brouschdamnit, they have the thing supposedly in stock in one of their stores in naperville, il. grab it off the shelf and send it to me!13:54
rick_h__ruh roh, they've angered the brousch13:54
brouschwell it's been a month, and i really wanted it for monday's mobile web development meeting13:55
rick_h__ah, yea sucky13:55
brouschhm, it says i may be able to substitute. this is the same price http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7330044&CatId=695714:01
brouschdamn fools cancelled my back order and credited me back, but didn't notify me by email14:31
rick_h__heh, well at least it's not that they ignored you for a month14:34
rick_h__now you can go order whatever you want14:34
brouschi should just bite the bullet and get a nook color14:45
rick_h__heh, wait they have an announcment coming14:45
rick_h__http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2385535,00.asp14:46
brouschprobably a new nook color now with encrypted bootloader!14:47
rick_h__you know it14:48
rick_h__they don'e like all that hacking14:48
brouschi can stay out of trouble with the wife by asking for it for my birthday 6/30. by that time i'll find out what the new one is14:51
rick_h__there you go, now you're thinking14:53
rick_h__I got in trouble, ordered a vacuum lol14:53
_stink_rick_h__: did you create a comparison matrix for the vacuum too?14:55
rick_h__heh no14:55
snap-lrick_h__: On the surface that doesn't sound troublesome14:55
rick_h__I knew I wanted to try one of these dyson14:55
rick_h__and woot had one so took the bait14:55
rick_h__but it's over the agreed "we'll discuss with sig other" $$14:55
rick_h__so I got in trouble :P14:56
brouschfoot-pounds of suction / decibel of noise?14:56
_stink_hehe, i get it14:56
rick_h__so brousch is a wise man14:56
brouschrarely14:59
krondorrich_h__:  recorded some audio with that mic, it's working great!  Thanks again.15:36
rick_h__krondor: awesome15:36
krondorI was going to try to fashion a pop filter, but I think that will come after I get at least 1 episode out the door.15:37
rick_h__heh yea15:37
rick_h__you can actually have some decent distance on that to help some15:37
rick_h__but with pop filters for $10 I just ordered one15:37
krondoroh wow didn't realize they were so cheap.  I was going to do the felt thing and try to make it but for 10 bucks yeah I'll just buy one.15:38
jrwrenmake your own pop filter by going under the sink and getting a spounge15:38
krondorjrwren:  are you speaking of the carbonated variety?15:39
jrwreni have no idea.15:40
rick_h__krondor: ok lied: http://goo.gl/Epetw15:41
rick_h__that's the one I got and it's $16 right now15:41
rick_h__but there are some down to $12 it looks like15:42
rick_h__and up to $5015:42
rick_h__try a metal one out for me lol15:42
rick_h__I don't hear grat things about those15:42
rick_h__but they pack/travel better15:43
krondoryeah that's true, maybe I'll make one initially and see how well it performs.  Felt or nylon is cheap enough...15:46
rick_h__yep15:46
wolfgeronly 148 days to go... time to switch repos to the ocelot16:08
rick_h__http://techland.time.com/2011/05/18/playstation-network-security-woes-continue-with-new-exploit/16:20
rick_h__man, how much $$ you think sony has dished out to security companies and they still can't get it right16:20
snap-lnice16:21
snap-lSeems they're in for a continued world of hurt.16:21
rick_h__well at this point it's like they've put out a calling card16:22
rick_h__"want to be cool, join the crowd of folks that have hacked up sony! We want you! to hack us up good"16:22
krondorthat's not really a new hack is it?  I mean they're just saying that they took the reset password page offline because hackers compromised the security questions.16:23
krondorthat's kind of a fallout from the first hack right?16:23
rick_h__"Hello, this is Sony. We suck...so can you please change your password *again*"16:23
rick_h__well it's a mix16:23
rick_h__part of opening back up is asking everyone in the system to please change your password before you can log back in16:23
rick_h__but once everyone changes their passwords, the original hackers (who have your email/birthday) can just change it to something else16:23
rick_h__since that's all that's required to change a password16:24
rick_h__the original plan was that you could only change your password from the place you first set it back up at16:24
rick_h__but guess the token/etc isn't verifying correctly16:24
rick_h__so your buddy down the street that knows your birthday could reset your password from his machine lol16:24
rick_h__at least that's how this reads16:25
krondorah ok, so that's the second piece then.  Yeah not so good...16:25
krondorso this will all end with sony sending two factor tokens to everyone16:25
rick_h__oh awesome, I can see it now16:25
rick_h__"dammit, I'm high and just want to kill some people, where the $#@$%#@ is that token generator!?!?!?!"16:25
wolfgerCan't they just do simple e-mailed password resets, like everbody else in the world?16:26
rick_h__"the new sony contrller, now with bio auth...simply point the red laser at your eye to log in"16:26
rick_h__no, they wanted to limit it to the devices16:26
rick_h__you have to do the changes from your ps216:26
rick_h__ps316:26
wolfgerlame16:26
rick_h__well the idea is ok. Help use the device as part of auth16:27
rick_h__but if you scew up...*sigh*16:27
rick_h__at least it sounds like a security firm found/notified them16:28
rick_h__nothing in here about real exploit at this point16:28
krondorwasn't it uncovered as part of the Japanese government's audit?  They didn't allow them to turn psn back on in japan until the government was satisfied it was secured.16:29
wolfger"Mexican authorities find 513 illegal immigrants in 2 tractor-trailers". Those crazy college kids!16:30
wolfgerAlways trying to see how many people they can stuff in one vehicle.16:30
wolfgerthere were 513, so clearly one team beat the other by at least one person16:31
Blazeixso close to 512. then we'd have nice power of 2 numbers.16:31
snap-lIf I were a PS3 owner heavily into networked gaming, I'd be furious right now16:38
Blazeixmy coworker hasn't been able to complete Portal 2 yet because of it16:38
snap-lWow, that sucks16:39
brouschis there a way to measure how much more productive the world has been during this outage?16:39
snap-lIt's a false productivity with everyone trying to get to the network every five minutes. ;)16:40
jrwrenwhat outage?16:45
rick_h__sony PSN16:46
wolfgersomebody must die16:55
rick_h__they're running out of IT folks in japan16:56
wolfgeroh, I wasn't referring to Sony. I couldn't care less about gaming consoles16:58
wolfgerI meant, somebody here must die16:58
wolfgerFor starters, I just got an e-mail that was addressed to "Friends_of_Fred_Shadko"... a group ID that apparently everybody in Chrysler (or at least everybody in ITM) was added to, whether they'd ever heard Fred's name before or not.17:00
wolfgerThe e-mail contained a link to a Notes document (we've migrated away from Notes) which then contained a Word document.17:00
wolfgerthat's 2 or 3 different kinds of stupid17:01
wolfgerpossibly 417:01
_stink_awesome17:01
wolfgerand the Word doc didn't contain anything that couldn't have just been pasted in the body of the e-mail to begin with. In fact, most of it was.17:02
wolfgerand I'm still wondering who Fred Shadko is, but I'm tempted to go to his retirement party anyways.17:03
wolfgerperhaps I'm just grumpy17:10
jcastrohttp://acko.net/blog/on-termkit17:10
jcastrocall it the rick heart attack kit!17:10
wolfgerHey, don't bash monospace!17:12
wolfgerMonospace fonts are FTW17:12
wolfgervariable width fonts are just asking for trouble. Don't believe me? Come take a look at the crap application I'm involved with... :-p17:14
snap-ljcastro: I hope that whatever this gent is working on works for him17:25
snap-lbecause I'll likely never use it17:25
snap-lI don't need the ADD version of GNOME-DO in my terminal.17:26
ColonelPanic001heh17:26
jcastroMy idea is more conservative17:26
jcastrohttp://dl.dropbox.com/u/5720/terminal-lens.png17:26
snap-lMeh17:27
jcastromeh your face17:28
ColonelPanic001not in public17:28
wolfgerNow that's what I'm talking about...17:29
wolfgerIt's pretty, but it's still a term window17:29
wolfgerand monospace17:29
snap-lMeh17:30
ColonelPanic001I don't see the advantage17:30
Blazeixwell, I think it'd be pretty cool to integrate termkit as a lens.17:31
snap-lI use the terminal to get shit done17:31
ColonelPanic001the input is t the top? So it's all in top-to-bottom order? That'd be confusing to me17:31
ColonelPanic001and making it bigger just doesn't do much for me17:31
snap-lUness it works via SSH, it's no good to me17:35
wolfgeryou remote access people...17:38
snap-lYeah, we're killing the internet.17:38
Blazeixwell, it'd be in addition to urxvt, of course. If it's a lens it'd be just used for local access.17:39
BlazeixI can't imagine myself sshing via a lens. If I had to do serious bash scripting or remote sessions, I'd use a standalone terminal17:39
snap-l++17:43
snap-lhttp://blog.iso50.com/2746/vt100-user-guide/17:44
rick_h__Blazeix: it's the return of tilda/yaquake17:47
rick_h__just as a lense shortcut vs a drop down17:47
rick_h__all that wasn't cool then is cool now17:47
Blazeixyeah, that's why the termkit integration would differentiate it17:48
rick_h__I'm missing the termkit bit?17:48
rick_h__why would we have a node/js based terminal there? can't it just incorp gnome-terminal or something?17:49
Blazeixah, see jcastro's link http://acko.net/blog/on-termkit17:49
krondorthat link both offends and intrigues me, I don't know what to think17:50
rick_h__right, oh you just mean the ui-ish of it?17:50
rick_h__I thought you meant more the embedded js tech of it, like gnome3 js stuff17:50
rick_h__sometimes I feel like such a bad guy17:51
rick_h__boss is all excited about: http://fanstatic.org/17:51
rick_h__and all I can do is think about how it solves the wrong problem the wrong way ugh17:52
Blazeixoh, I'm not sold on the json passing yet, though it could be neat.17:52
Blazeixmainly just basic user stuff like nice progress bars, cat-ing images, etc17:52
snap-lrick_h__: What is this supposed to solve? Looks like Python CDN17:53
rick_h__kind of, he's all excited that he can (in python) say which .js and .css to include17:53
rick_h__so that pages without a date picker don't get datepicker code17:53
rick_h__but now each page hash it's own url for .js and .css files, causing you to miss caches much more often17:53
rick_h__when just using library cdn's, or moving your files to a diff subdomain (static.xxx) and all that would make a much bigger difference17:54
rick_h__but he's all happy and wants to defend it to no end17:54
snap-lWhy not use this for a static CDN subdomain?17:54
rick_h__and I don't want to deal with it so want to crush it17:54
snap-lAh, OK. ;)17:54
rick_h__so this isa wsgi layer you wrap around your app17:54
rick_h__so the files come from your app via the same wsgi serving your app is under17:55
rick_h__and you've got to do all the library setup, it's just more pita for no real gain17:55
snap-lThis sounds like the problem of too few resources (one domain name)17:55
rick_h__it's a number of problems17:55
snap-lie: If I didn't have the ability to spin up CNAMEs like crazy, then it might help17:56
rick_h__I'd much rather biuld something like the yui builder17:56
rick_h__that's the right way to fix those kinds of issues imo17:56
wolfgerDid this Planet post about bug triage make anybody else say "WTF"? http://blog.launchpad.net/bug-tracking/how-triage-launchpad-bugs17:56
rick_h__and then he goes off "well what if we're on site with no net access"...ugh17:56
wolfgerHigh importance is "Bugs we think we can fix in the next six months."  I'm sorry... thinking you can fix it in x amount of time is more about low difficulty than high importance.17:57
wolfgerAnd low importance basically means DIY or fuggedaboutit17:59
snap-lbug priorities are too overloaded anyway17:59
tjagodaThere is a bug in priorities of bugs.17:59
snap-lShould be when to fix, not prioirity17:59
snap-lImmediately, ASAP, etc18:00
wolfgerThere should be some mechanism that links "This bug affects me" directly to priority. So that if a bug affects a lot of people, it gains more importance than bugs that affect few18:01
snap-lWith a separate security priority18:02
snap-lI could abide by that18:02
snap-lSecurity priority: denial of service _> Serious goatse moment18:03
wolfgernot necessarily security... I'd say a "priority" based on users complaining and an "importance" which devs set one of 3 levels. Critical for security issues or total breakage, High for non-security issues that adversely affect functionality, and low for annoyances.18:04
snap-lSorry, but you need a secuirty path18:04
snap-land make it separate18:04
snap-lyou're once again overloading priority. ;)18:04
snap-lYou need the secuirty path to be clean18:07
brouschif users are worried about a security bug they can add themselves to the "this affects me" and get it moved up the queue18:10
rick_h__let me fix that for you "if users are worried about a security bug, they can apply the diff and recompile like everyone else out there!"18:12
brouschwtf, is this gentoo?18:13
brouschi just picked up some of this for a meeting tonight http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/12516/2785718:14
brouschThirsty Dog Old Leghumper Porter18:15
wolfgerbecause everybody wants an Old Leghumper...18:17
wolfgerand "I only *wish* this was Gentoo..."18:18

binbrainanyhow, looks good ;)18:38
brouschbarcamp grand rapids organizing meeting18:39
binbrainah18:39
binbrainhmm, the NYC barcamp is at Microsoft's office, not sure I could be BYOB18:42
wolfgeroh, don't let tjagoda see that link18:42
tjagodaI would never buy a cookbook with nelix on the cover18:55
brouschracist18:55
tjagodaYes18:58
tjagodaI am racist against rainbow lion-lizards =P18:58
brouschmaybe you're sexist. i bet if it was an orion slave girl on the covor you'd buy it18:58
tjagodaOrion slave girls are not rainbow lion-lizards.18:59
wolfgerI bet if it was Neelix's wife on the cover you'd buy it18:59
tjagodaWhat part of racist are you people not getting19:01
brouschcripes. apparently i need a license on my blog posts now19:02
tjagodado I need to exterminate the lion-lizards? =P '19:02
* wolfger is being intentionally obtuse19:02
brouschi feel like a rock star19:02
jjessebrousch i saw your post got posted on facebook19:02
wolfgertjagoda is the Hitler of the Star Trek universe19:02
brouschjjesse: the tedxmuskegon site wants to republish it or use it19:03
jjesse'interesting19:03
tjagodaIf the Jack boots fir, sir. =P19:04
* brousch wanders over to Consilience to see how the pros do it19:04
brouschgreg-g: why did you choose the cc-by-sa over just cc-by?19:19
wolfgerbecause he wants you IP thieves to share19:21
brouschbut they still have to give credit19:21
wolfgerwhat's credit got to do with anything?19:23
brouschit seems like it would limit reuse of the work19:23
brouschonly other freetards can reuse it19:23
wolfgerLOL19:23
wolfgerif you don't believe in releasing things as CC, don't steal things from other people's CC works. That's very simple.19:24
wolfgersa is the "don't be a f'ing hypocrite" clause19:25
wolfgerOf course, I don't really speak for greg-g... his reasoning may or may not be the same.19:26
brouschi guess i'm more mit than gpl19:35
greg-gbrousch: did you have a specific use of mine in mind, or just in general?19:38
brouschgeneral19:40
rick_h__brousch: is trying to stir up trouble19:40
brouschfor once i'm not19:40
brouschi'm trying to put a license on my blog19:41
greg-gahhhh, so...19:41
greg-gin general, I like the use of BY-SA over just BY because it makes sure that is someone reuses my work when creating something new, I can build off of their derivative. This argument usually works to help people move away from -NC/ND restrictions19:42
greg-glike, if a political campaign that yo udon't like uses your photo, you can then create a derivative of their ad under BY-SA to comment on it19:43
greg-gwith BY, you don't (necessarily) have that option19:43
brouschinteresting19:43
greg-gbut... with that said (sorry, phone call)...19:47
rick_h__"go find your own license silly!"19:47
rick_h__oh sorry, didn't mean to complete your sentence there greg-g :P19:47
greg-gBY does have less restriction, thus is pretty quantifiably "more re-usable"19:47
greg-ghaha19:47
greg-gi encourage the use of CC:BY for educational/scholarly works19:47
greg-gand BY-SA for creative works19:48
greg-gthat distinction is hard to make sometimes, and the benefits of SA over just BY can start to diminish as time goes on... but, that's my general rule of thumb19:48
brouschhow many times a day do you reeat that?19:48
brouschrepeat19:48
greg-ghah, about 6.8, on average19:49
brouschyou have infinite patience. it is amazing19:49
greg-gwith my job, you have to.19:49
rick_h__it's the beard19:49
greg-gAnd, really, to try and effect change in a complex system, you *really* have to19:49
greg-grick_h__: indeed19:49
greg-g:)19:49
brouschtwo times and i'm yelling IT'S ON MY BLOG LOOK IT UP19:50
greg-gbtw, /me waves from orlando19:50
brouschoh, nice19:50
brouschhanging with Mickey?19:50
wolfgerit's easier to have patience in Orlando19:50
greg-gyeah, here for a conference, giving the lunch time keynote on CC19:50
greg-gyeah, my evening is going to consist of a pool, a hot tub, a drink, and reviewing my preso19:51
greg-gnot all at the same time19:51
brouschwhy not?19:51
greg-geven though my x200s is awesome, it is not water proof19:52
wolfgerpool and hottub at the same time? Would be difficult and counterproductive19:52
greg-goh yeah, that too19:53
wolfgeroften they are separate by more than the length of one person, as well19:53
greg-g"I make my own hottub"19:53
wolfgerso: difficult -> impossible19:53
brouschyikes19:53
wolfgereww19:53
brouschmust be all that natural food19:53
wolfger"Why is it warm and bubbly around that guy?"19:53
brouschthanks for the help, greg-g19:57
greg-gbrousch: of course, if you have any specific issues/concerns you have in mind, let me know, I might have some pointers19:58
