rick_h_irc + html == fail02:18
brousch_it's really pretty good02:18
brousch_what did you use for irc on the cr-48?02:19

jrwrensnap-l: there is linux sunray server stuff.  you get it rollin yet?03:20
brousch_hm, hit my first snag with chromeos. how to edit a rst file?03:20
jrwrenvim?03:21
jrwrennano?03:21
jrwrenjoe?03:21
brousch_it's a web browser03:23
brousch_no java03:23
brousch_no shell03:23
brousch_ah, sent it to dropbox and then i can edit it in sourcekit03:26
jrwrensurely you can get a shell?03:26
brousch_i don't think so03:29
brousch_ok, found a shell03:30
brousch_no nano or vi though03:31
_stink_sed?03:32
brousch_it has ssh, so you can edit stuff on remote servers03:32
brousch_which is consistent with the chromeos philosophy03:33
brousch_i'll have to make a little file dump on dreamhost where i can plop things and then ssh to edit them with vim03:34
brousch_oh, nice. i can make windows and switch between them using alt+1 - alt+0. this means i can organize pretty much how i do in osx and linux03:39
brousch_ctrl+1 - ctrl+0 switches between tabs in the current window03:40
snap-ljrwren: Not yet.03:51
snap-lI gave it about 15 minutes of fiddling03:52
snap-lBut yeah, I think I'll set up pa VM and get the oracle server running03:52
rick_h_brousch_: src:kit app is great03:59
rick_h_ah, nvm you found it as a catch up04:00
brousch_quite nice04:00
snap-lbrousch_: The shell / terminal that ships wth ChromeOS is pretty rough04:00
brousch_and uses dropbox, so all the docs are synced to my desktop/laptop04:00
rick_h_you can unlock it and get access to a better terminal and even some better ssh04:00
snap-lPart of the reason I couldn't deal with it.04:01
rick_h_brousch_: yea, I used src:kit for doing notes at pycon04:01
rick_h_create rst files, and then when I went to do my podcast, they were on my main laptop04:01
rick_h_supposedly it's gotten better, I saw a commit that it supports ssh keys now04:01
brousch_ok, well i got the blog post out and half of the pyohio proposal typed up. i'm calling it a night04:01
rick_h_awesome04:01
rick_h_let me know if you need a hand with the pyohio stuff at all04:01
brousch_it seems pretty easy04:02
rick_h_I'm out myself, night04:02
brousch_nedd to sleep on the extended description and outline04:02
snap-lrick_h_: orly?04:02
snap-lThat was a big bugaboo for me04:02
snap-lOK, off to do some dishes. Laterness, everyone!04:03

greg-g:P12:38
brouschfinally, a mainstream window manager for rick_h_!12:40
brouschmeating, bbl12:41
greg-gI find it interesting how my right click menu in gnome-terminal is unavailable when firefox locks up13:14
snap-lrick_h_: Yeah, heard that password sharing thing on NPR last night. That's just dumb.13:45
greg-gjcastro: way to speak the truth in that newsletter blogpost13:45
snap-lrick_h_: That Windows 8 video goes against everything I've ever loved about the desktop interface13:45
snap-lI think the best metaphor is the cluttered board behind the screen.13:46
snap-lIt's too cluttered.13:47
rick_h_come on, we all knew the start menu would need a breakout box at some point13:47
rick_h_not like windows is going to launcher style13:47
snap-lThe computer now looks like the fucking weather channel13:47
snap-lIt also looks grafted13:49
ColonelPanic001it amuses me that I frequently, daily, hear a word processor in this office14:04
greg-gwhat is it saying?14:04
ColonelPanic001beep beep beep beep14:05
_stink_yeah, we should publicly shame whoever uses it14:08
ColonelPanic001or should14:20
snap-lhttp://openmetalcast.com/2011/06/01/open-metalcast-special-announcement/14:22
snap-lYay, getting Internet Explorer 8 on my machine14:36
snap-lalong with a warning that not all company applications are compatible with INternet Explorer 814:36
snap-lAt least someone is trying to rip the band-aid off.14:36
rick_h_IE8? Haven't you heard...that's old14:37
rick_h_<3'd that Google is deprecating IE7 on google apps14:38
snap-lHey, at least someone is trying to get us out of this mess.14:43
brouschi had no idea there was a weekly ubuntu newsletter15:12
krondorfiresheep for android http://faceniff.ponury.net/15:42

PainBankGENIVI.org seems to be a user group focused on this.18:17
snap-lApparently Borders is moving all of their eBooks over to Kobo18:22
snap-lThe confusion between the two must've been way too much18:22
rick_h_from what?18:24
rick_h_what was the other reader? sony?18:24
snap-lBorders had their own storefront18:24
rick_h_oic18:25
snap-land the readers sold by Borders went to that storefront18:25
rick_h_that's a good thing for kobo18:25
snap-lthey're sending an update which will likely send that over to Kobo now18:25
rick_h_their new reader is getting rave reviews, but the store side is still something that holds me back from one of them18:25
snap-lWell, it's pretty stupid to have two separate apps18:25
snap-lEsp if you use the iPhone app18:25
snap-lWe'll see how this works18:26
snap-lThey already had me merge my library18:26
rick_h_cool18:26
snap-lwhich means I have access to the one book that I bought from Kobo as an experiment with the Sony18:26
snap-lI'm one of their best eBook customers, though, even though I bought only two eBooks from the Borders store. ;)18:27
rick_h_lol18:27
snap-lOne stross book (just to see how it worked) and JoDee bought a Dr. Who book.18:27
snap-lSorry, Doctor Who. ;)18:27
snap-lApparently there's several updates since I last turned on the wireless. :)18:28

rick_h_yea, I missed the boy scout phase to get badges then18:31
snap-lThird update.18:34
rick_h_heh, see how much better your device could have been?18:35
rick_h_gotta do the updates :P18:35
snap-lApparently.18:35
snap-lFourth update.18:35
snap-lWonder if I'm in an update loop18:35
greg-gwhat are you updating?18:37
greg-gah e-reader18:38
snap-lI've lost count on the upgrades19:10
snap-lI think it's up to 8 or so19:10
snap-lThey rolled out 1.9, and I was on something like 1.719:11
snap-lwith a bunch of minor upgrades along the way.19:11
snap-lYeah, this thing is just caught in a loop19:17
snap-lit's not updating shit19:17
rick_h_uh oh19:21
snap-lYeah, did a reset on it to see if that takes care of it19:42
snap-lof course that means I have to type in all of my passwords again19:42
snap-lyippee19:42
snap-lprobably ran out of room.  :)19:43
* snap-l runs a tight ship on his ereader.19:43
rick_h_you have password(s) on your ereader?19:44
snap-lWell, this inspector has about 15 minutes to get here19:44
snap-lyeah, for the store and wifi19:44
rick_h_inspector?19:44
rick_h_ah, gotcha19:45
brouschrick_h_ snap-l would you mind taking a peek at my proposal to make sure i'm not being stupid? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/101667/cfp_template_2011.rst20:42
brouschthis is my first conference talk20:42
rick_h_looks good,20:46
snap-lGreat, now I'm able to kill my kobo with the Learning Python epub book20:47
brouschpython won't run on kobo20:47
rick_h_well I think it is the largest python book known20:47
snap-lTHing is it was able to run just fine beforehand20:48
snap-lfucking piece of shit20:49
rick_h_should send them an email :)20:49
snap-lYeah, that'll be productive20:49
rick_h_maybe they can get you one of the newer models20:49
rick_h_for a small $ee20:49
brouschthey'll send you a $10 gift card for borders20:49
brouschok, sending in the proposal20:49
rick_h_"not valid with any other offer, or on days that end in 'Y'"20:50
rick_h_brousch: awesome!20:50
rick_h_I'll try to help support you when the flames come in :)20:50
brouschhaha, thanks20:50
rick_h_with gondor.io, heroku, etc the concept of the "server > cloud" is going to raise some fur20:50
brouschi saw a note last night that they've only gotten 6 proposals so far20:51
rick_h_yea, was just checking in there20:51
rick_h_he said they had 12 at this point last time20:51
brouschwell i'm not saying don't use the cloud, just use a regular old server until you need the cloud20:51
rick_h_kind of crazy, they grew nearly 2x each year...wonder what's up this year20:51
brouscha good question20:52
brouschcrap, i forgot to request that i not be put up against rick_h_. i really need the sqlalchemy tutorial20:55
brouschnow i need to dive into more Flask so i'm better prepared20:58
TeamXlinkToday at school the pc repair teacher was giving out parts, and one of the things I got was a Compaq DeskPro EN (Small Form Factor Version), As of now, it has a 133mhz Pentium III And  384mb RAM, I want to use it to host a game server, most likely a Warsow, or Quake III Arena server. Which Distro should I use, its going to be a dedicated server, a gui is not needed (Not wanted either).22:52
snap-lYou could probably put something like Ubuntu Server on that23:07
snap-lthough I'm not sure how much memory that would need.23:07
TeamXlinkAlright, sweet, thanks.23:13
_stink_last i tried a stock ubuntu server install, it ran fine with 256 MB RAM23:17
TeamXlinkShould I use the latest version?23:18
snap-lI'd stick with something like 10.0423:27
TeamXlinkAlright, sweet thanks.23:38
