rick_h_I see those things Blazeix and then cry because I know how work does things03:32
rick_h_and I've pushed for them to fix it, but hasn't happened on several apps03:32
rick_h_I mean, one app, the usernames are $level_$id03:33
rick_h_and $id == the password03:33
rick_h_"but it's ip limited to only their network space..." :(03:33
widoxhaha, those are some awesome functions in that pastbin... :-/03:33
snap-lBut but but... I replaced ; with '', so it should't run03:33
rick_h_any time you see " secureSuperGlobalPOST" you know you're doomed03:34
snap-lThe third link is precious too03:35
rick_h_yea, so glad there's a mad rush to md503:35
rick_h_yay for the base64 of our day03:35
snap-lI'm just waiting for the rot13 and md5sum security03:36
snap-lGood night, everyone. See you tomorrow.04:51
snap-lWhy does this frighten me? https://identi.ca/notice/7573952612:49
snap-lhttp://identi.ca/group/rantofabkuhn12:50
brouschafraid of competition?12:52
snap-lhardly12:52
snap-lDifferent goals, and it seems they're not ranting about FLOSS12:53
snap-lThis is what the difference between the Ubuntu Conucil and the JCP is in a nutshell: https://identi.ca/notice/7574208112:58
rick_h_ouch, that's a scary podcast12:59
brouschsnap-l: nice, link us to your identica post that links to the article13:01
brouschyou're a real slashdotter13:01
rick_h_hah, publicity artist at his best13:01
snap-lYeah, I need to monetize my identi.ca. ;)13:02
greg-guh oh, this guy started following me on twitter: https://twitter.com/#!/Piracy_Patrol13:14
rick_h_greg-g! I never thought you'd be a wrong doer like that13:15
* greg-g hangs head13:16
greg-gI'm guessing it was because of the court case I tweeted yesterday13:16
brouschyou have angered the man. now he is tracking your every tweet13:21
brouschcan you feel the spy satellite looking through your window?13:22
greg-gluckily, the angle I have of the window goes directly towards another building that is very close (20 feet) away, so the satellites can't see me. but if I peak my head around like this....... then they can see me.13:25
brouschreflections13:34
brouschthey can take a 1" reflection of you from a window across the street and watch. don't you watch CSI or NCIS?13:34
greg-g"enhance that image. enhance it again. and again. and again." Turning that 4 pixel area into the resolution of a widscreen LCD.13:35
brouschsnap-l: how's natty treating you now that you've got a fresh install?13:39
rick_h_man, I am dragging today...ugh13:42
rick_h_snap-l: yea, we should do a lococast before you calm down too much :P13:43
snap-lWell, Natty is OK, but there's a lot of rough edges13:53
snap-l"As of today, we have killed 1.75 million files containing our client's content. #copyright www.piracypatrol.com"13:54
snap-lhopefully they got some of the originals too13:54
snap-lI've had to change how I use my machine13:55
snap-lOh, and upgrading? Yeah... I'd recommend not doing that.13:55
snap-lReinstall13:55
snap-lAt least, not if you're going from LTS to 11.0413:56
rick_h_that sounds so familiar13:58
snap-lI even went so far as to trash my home directory and just copy over what I needed14:00
snap-lthough that's mostly because certain apps were acting wonky (banshee apparently doesn't behave well when you delete a bunch of files)14:00
brouschi love that armin ronacher (flask) is at djangocon europe. he is providing much material for me14:00
snap-l(who knew?)14:00
snap-lUgh, it's already 86 in this room14:01
rick_h_ouch14:01
snap-land it's not even 9am14:01
brouschAC14:01
rick_h_basement time here for sure14:02
brouschwhat are you, Dutch? turn on the air!14:02
snap-lbrousch: Air is in... in the bedroom14:02
snap-lnot the computer room. :)14:02
rick_h_laptops ftw14:02
* rick_h_ is chillin in the recliner with pandora on the roku going14:03
snap-lyou guys are just full of answers. ;)14:03
snap-ls/answers/shit/ ;)14:03
brouschi would not want to work from home without AC14:05
rick_h_tomorrow high 8214:06
rick_h_should be more reasonable14:06
rick_h_brousch: started to try to get to seattle14:06
rick_h_wife isn't warming up to it, but checked out and there's a google office hiring out there14:06
rick_h_more important to find work for her though14:06
rick_h_maybe I'd apply for those canonical jobs and do the fulltime remote again14:07
brouschi think there's a big software company in seattle14:08
brouschdid you see if they're hiring?14:08
rick_h_man, good looking weekend coming14:09
rick_h_71, 77, 7514:09
brouschrick_h_: i would also like to draw your attention to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco#Climate14:09
rick_h_I'm not cool enough to be in CA14:10
snap-lGood morning, Wolfger14:14
* snap-l is glad he bought some CDs from Bandcamp, because unfortunately you can't re-download albums after a certain period14:15
Wolfgernot really it isn't :-/14:16
Wolfgerbut at least I'm back in the good ol' USA :-)14:16
jjesseanyone play with google music yet?  trying to understand why i would want google music instead of amazon music14:36
rick_h_jjesse: nope, no interest. Can't buy music so not interested14:37
jjessetheres some free music to start you out with that you can stream, then you upload all your music to them14:37
jjesseand i doubt there is a *nix friendly version of the uploaded14:37
jjesseuploader14:38
snap-lI guess my big question about that is since I rip to FLAC, how much space is available?14:38
rick_h_there was a ppa of a wine packaged uploader14:38
snap-land does it support FLAC?14:38
rick_h_20k songs14:38
rick_h_not sure on flac14:38
jjessebut if i buy an album w/ amazon i get 20gigs of cloud storage for amazon  music14:38
rick_h_right, but that's not promised for next year14:38
rick_h_coule be initial offer, but who knows14:39
jjesseso i upload my music to either google/amazon/apple or Ubuntu One14:41
rick_h_yes14:42
rick_h_but apple doesn't have streaming14:42
rick_h_it does 'sycning'14:42
rick_h_http://download.cnet.com/8301-2007_4-20069418-12.html14:42
brouschsnap-l: looks like natty's not the only problem upgrade: mitsuhiko 9:34am via Echofon: When upgrading to iOS5, make sure to do backups. Lost a month of contact's worth14:47
snap-lOh that's brilliant14:47
greg-ggamerchick02: dude, totally do an Ubuntu Hour up there with Matt!15:16
snap-lgamerchick02: Also, congrats on the interview!15:16
greg-gyeah, ditto on that too15:17
rick_h_madison heights eh? That's awful close to CHC land :)15:17
snap-lI wish bands would make it easier for me to give them money for their album15:17
snap-lTrying to find a link, download, or God-knows-what for MIND:|:SHREDDER15:17
gamerchick02:)15:18
gamerchick02thanks!15:18
gamerchick02AND, my internet was turned ON this morning!!!15:18
gamerchick02*happydance*15:18
gamerchick02*boogie down*15:18
gamerchick02CHC, rick_h_?15:18
snap-lgamerchick02: What the hell was with that?15:18
greg-gCHC == CoffeeHouseCoders15:19
snap-lI've never heard of an ISP taking 12 days to get internet reconnected.15:19
rick_h_coffeehousecoders15:19
gamerchick02AT&T shut off our phone for no reason15:19
gamerchick02earthlink shut off our internet due to no dialtone15:19
rick_h_sorry, UH:CHC now15:19
gamerchick02earthlink has been trying to get us back online, but AT&T was blocking their setup.15:19
greg-glame15:19
gamerchick02i think my friend Zack talked to his sister, she kicked some union ass, and they put the order through15:20
gamerchick02because Earthlink has to get AT&T to release the line for DSL15:20
gamerchick02Zack's sister works for AT&T.15:20
gamerchick02thanks, greg-g and rick_h_.15:20
gamerchick02CHC would be fun to attend15:20
rick_h_good interview: http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2011/06/07/whats-your-start-up-bus-count-7-myths-of-entrepreneurship-and-programming/15:25
gamerchick02http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/06/system76-serval-professional-review massive review from the OMG!Ubuntu guys of the Serval Pro. not sure if everyone has seen this or not already. i'm a little late. *ahem*15:29
greg-grick_h_: I like it15:31
gamerchick02the interview or the review, greg-g?15:32
greg-gthe interview15:37
gamerchick02oh. i'm catching up on articles that i haven't had a chance to read. i'll get to it...15:38
brouschwhat's the correct way to check if a list has something at a certain index? if list[2]: do_stuff15:39
brouschthat gives a key error if the index doesn't exist. do i really have to wrap this in a try except?15:40
rick_h_if len(list) >= X?15:40
brouschwell, i'm actually grabbing from the end of the list15:41
snap-ltry: except?15:41
rick_h_huh? they're sequential15:41
snap-lDo you care what the index is?15:41
rick_h_the list is either longer than your idx or not15:41
snap-lor just the contents of the end of the list?15:41
brouschi have a list and want the last 3 items, but sometimes there's only 1 item in the list15:41
snap-lI'd use pop15:41
snap-lwith a try / except15:41
rick_h_if len(list) >= abs(idx)15:41
rick_h_if you're doing idx == -3 or someting15:42
brouschah, i see15:43
brouschgetting them from the end was messing with my head15:43
rick_h_cool15:43
snap-lAre you treating this like a queue?15:44
snap-lor a stack?15:44
brouscha list15:48
brouschappending items to it, but not really removing them15:48
rick_h_lol15:48
rick_h_using a list as a list?! how dare you!15:49
brouschi realized my data is so small i can stick it in a list instead of a real database15:49
snap-lwhy not use append?15:49
brouschi do use append15:49
snap-lOK...15:50
brouschbut i really only care about the 3 newest ones15:50
brouschuntil one of them goes bad, then i'll remove it15:50
snap-lAh, OK15:51
snap-lWhenever I see something where someone is using the end of a list for something, I start wondering if they're trying to implement a stack or queue or ...15:52
* snap-l better get out his "jump to conclusions mat"15:52
snap-lAnyone know of a way to get SoundJuicer / Banshee to do local lookups for CDDB?15:56
gamerchick02change the database location?15:56
WolfgerSheesh... watch out for flying bears, now. http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2011/06/08/2-people-die-as-bear-flies-through-suv/?hpt=hp_t216:42
snap-lOK< I did not see that coming.16:46
binbrainwolfger: I love that in the article they mentioned that no alcohol or drugs were involved17:01
rick_h_man, porting to postgrs is a lesson on the absolute crap sqlite/mysql let you get away with17:04
brouschit's not crap if it works. it's fertalizer!17:07
Wolfgerbinbrain: I'm wondering if they tested the bear...17:14
snap-lWhy is MusicBrainz so impenetrable?17:50
=== DBO is now known as DBOut
brouschsnap-l: the z on the end should have tipped you off18:01
greg-ghave you ever met/seen the guy who started MusicBrainz?18:10
greg-gI'll let you guess which one of these Robert Kayes he is: http://images.google.com/search?tbm=isch&hl=en&source=hp&biw=1680&bih=962&q=Robert+Kaye18:12
brouschthe one with the nice ass and the red skirt?18:14
snap-lI'm sure he's the one with the shaved head art18:28
snap-lI think it's a neat concept, but damn if it isn't frustrating as hell to get info in and or out of it18:28
snap-ldoing my part by trying to update the indo18:29
snap-linfo, even18:29
snap-lBut it's a real hassle18:29
snap-lIf Banshee doesn't have the right disc ID, it'll just bomb out18:32
brouschi think CHC/UH is about to fire up in GR18:33
snap-leven though all of the results are the same damn album from Picard.18:33
brouschjean luc?18:33
snap-lNo, the music brainz lookup program18:34
snap-lWhich, incidentally, is the only way to do any lookups of CD IDs18:34
snap-lBut, I'm sure like most OSS things, my right to bitch is directly proportional to how far my sleeves are rolled up. :)18:39
snap-lARGH! http://musicbrainz.org/cdtoc/cfw1kqALZW8hKA7bvh1womooApk-18:52
snap-lSomething tells me Banshee can't handle multiple releases18:54
brouschwhat about it?18:54
snap-lhttp://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110531/00303814468/dubious-record-label-insists-it-has-patent-pending-method-to-guarantee-platinum-selling-album.shtml19:34
snap-lWasn't the schmoo at CHC selling Zer01 VOIP?19:34
snap-lOr was that something else?19:34
brouschschmoo?19:35
rick_h_snap-l: no idea19:36
rick_h_I tried hard ot block it all out19:36
brouschrick_h_: you follow ossmichigan rss feed?19:47
rick_h_brousch: yea19:47
brouschhm, wait, these came from decafbad, isn't that snap-l?19:48
rick_h_no19:48
rick_h_lmorchord19:48
brouscha couple of old posts about delicious popped up there19:48
rick_h_https://twitter.com/#!/lmorchard19:49
rick_h_yea, he's the guy that gave me the massive.xml for testing19:49
rick_h_16k bookmarks and 7k tags19:49
brouschok19:49
snap-lYeah, decafbad.com is lmorchard.19:53
brouschignore me. he must've changed something so the ossmichigan planet reposted his stuff.19:53
rick_h_yea, he's been updating his block to jeckell19:54
rick_h_or whatever it is19:54
brouschthese posts are from december19:54
snap-lOK, I have a quick quiz for everyone here21:19
snap-lthis is a 30 second quiz. No fair googling21:19
snap-l30 seconds begins after I post the question.21:19
snap-lready?21:19
snap-lWhat's the command for the Disk Utility that ships with Ubuntu.21:20
snap-lTime's UP!21:20
snap-lPencils down21:20
snap-lIf you guessed palimpsest, you are correct.21:21
BlazeixI was going to guess 'du'...21:21
Blazeixor maybe df21:21
snap-lWell, considering those actually have "disk" somewhere in the name, that would make sense.21:22
snap-l"A palimpsest is a manuscript page from a scroll or book from which the text has been scraped off and which can be used again. "21:22
Blazeixalias blimpiset=palimpsest21:23
snap-lNow, granted, I do like it when a command teaches me something about the world we live in21:24
snap-lbut not when I'm trying to figure out what said command is. ;)21:25
rick_h_snap-l: what happened to boabab?22:21
rick_h_I thoght that was the thing, hated that name as well22:21
snap-lbyobu?23:12
Blazeixbaobab, the disk usage gui23:16
Lledargobaobab appears to only be a disk analyzer, disk utility can mount, format, etc.23:21
snap-lStill a badly named utility.23:29
