rrnwexectoo bad you're so far from Vancouver. our big party is Friday night04:17
rrnwexecwe're serving ubuntini's, spinning tunes. 3 DJ's. right sdowntown. lots of crazy stuff04:18
paultagrrnwexec: yeah, bummer! We could have some fun and get us some Ubutinis ;)04:18
paultagthat was you guys, right?04:18
rrnwexecyes04:18
paultag:)04:18
paultagthought so :)04:18
rrnwexecnext time you're headed this way just gimme a shout. we'll throw another party04:18
rrnwexec;)04:18
paultagrrnwexec: oh for sure!04:18
paultagthe Vancover LoCo rocks hard04:19
rrnwexecwe try04:19
nhandlerHey, I placed dibs on meeting up with paultag. Get in line rrnwexec :)04:20
paultagnhandler: you'll be in chi-town for Uni, aye?04:20
nigelbchi-town?04:20
rrnwexecnhandler: we'll lure him here with a MASSIVE YOU-party ;)04:20
paultagnhandler: I have been seriously considering a trip to Chicago in the next yearish04:20
rrnwexec*U-party04:20
paultagrrnwexec: Oh you know I'd love that :)04:20
paultagI'd show up with Ubuntu war-paint on!04:21
rrnwexecawesome! do it!!04:21
paultageggplant and orange war-paint04:21
paultagOMG04:21
paultagwe should do that for code jams!!!!!04:21
paultagoh, brilliant04:22
nhandlerpaultag: I'm at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, so a few hours away from the city. I'm still hoping we can meet up when I am at the cape in july. Otherwise, we'll have to hope your chi town visit matches up to a long weekend or a break or something04:23
paultagnhandler: yeah, we'll figure something out. I'm planning to vacation in Cleveland once I get a big-boy job, so I'll take a few weeks to hang out in the area. If I fly back, Chicago is actually a sane stop-over04:24
paultagnhandler: depending on where I work, of course04:25

nigelbAlanBell: HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Looks like you have a birthday gift from IS ;)09:43
RhondaI think someone should tell Mohamad that his screenshot in the Xlog blog post can be considered a bit off.  :/09:47
* Rhonda . o O ( I hope this channel is proper for bringing that up )09:48
dholbachRhonda, I think you can just drop him a friendly email about it09:49
RhondaUsually I receive answers along the lines of "grow a thicker skin"09:51
dholbachdid you get that reply in this case?09:51
RhondaNo, but such responses are too common that it starts to get demotivating to mention it at all …09:52
dholbachbut it seems to bother you09:52
RhondaIf it only bothers me, I guess I'll suck it up09:53
dholbachsorry, that's not what I meant09:53
dholbachI just thought "if it bothers you, just send a friendly email about it"09:54

paultagmhall119: starting to prototype some cool stuff, it's looking sweet :)16:24
paultagnigelb: :)16:24
Pendulumpaultag: thank you for the reminder that I (still) need to root my Nook Color16:27
paultagPendulum: sheesh! I rooted my STR in 12 hours without a guide :)16:28
paultagget to it :)16:28
PiciPendulum: http://nookdevs.com/Main_Page is quite helpful16:29
Pendulumpaultag: well when I got the Nook Color I didn't have a microSD card. And then when I had one I was about to travel and I get nervous about messing with tech right before I travel because I have a history of stupid mistakes. And since I've been sick.16:30
Pici:/16:30
paultagPendulum: yeah, I hear ya16:31
paultagPendulum: no worries :)16:31
PiciI thought I bricked my nook yesterday if thats any consellation.16:31
paultagit's very hard to do Pici :)16:31
paultagPici: which nook?16:31
Picipaultag: nook color.16:32
paultagPici: Oh, humm. How do you like it?16:32
Picipaultag: I tried to do a cm7 rom upgrade and it just wouldn't power on afterwards.  Somehow mashing on the power button in frustration got it to work, after about an hour of trying different methods.16:33
PendulumPici: B&N once deleted all my info off my NC :(16:33
nigelbPendulum: why?16:33
paultagPici: pang16:33
paultagdang *16:33
PiciPendulum: I actually don't even have the B&N software installed here.16:34
Picipaultag: Its very nice. I bought it specifically to root it and use as a tablet.16:34
PiciI wish it had a camera or microphone, but for $200 (on sale!) I'm willing to let a few features go.16:34
Pendulumnigelb: they had a server bug and in fixing it accidentally deleted a bunch of userdata from being able to sync with Nooks (essentially wiping those Nooks back to factory presets). I was unlucky enough to connect to wifi while things were down and to be one of the people whose data got screwed16:35
Pendulumit was very odd16:35
Pendulumit wasn't horrible because everything did still actually exist in the cloud16:35
Pendulumjust meant re-setting up things16:36
nigelbah16:36
Pendulum(and this was 3 days before I left for Europe and things were down about 6 hours so I did get nervous)16:36
Pendulumit's the one negative thing I can say about my Nook and if I'd rooted it beforehand, wouldn't have been an issue16:38
Pendulumotherwise even with the B&N software I love it and I expect to love it even more when I root it16:38
nigelbwoooooaaahhh16:44

=== salgado is now known as salgado-lunch
paultagnigelb: hahahahahahaha wtf16:54
paultagI made the same mistake when I was first learning bash. I ran "sudo rm -rf ~/*". Turns out I ran "sudo rm -rf ~ /*"16:56
paultagd'oh16:56
paultagit was chugging along till it hit proc and I freaked out16:56
nigelbwhen 'm in sudo, I always use autocomplete16:57
paultag(since it won't delete those guys)16:57
paultagnigelb: erm, autocomplete won't work with sudo16:57
macosudo on ~?16:57
paultagmaco: I was learning, I know, I know, I know16:57
pleia2yikes, code review is good16:57
paultagmaco: this was in 2003-416:57
paultagand it might have been an su -c, but I can't remember16:57
paultagI think I had debian, so it'd have been su -c, but same idea16:58
nigelbI like what I think most of canonical does. Work in another branch, everything gets 1 or 2 reviews before getting in.16:58
popeyYOU MUST REMEMBER YOUR ANECDOTE PAUL!16:58
popeyDO BETTER!16:58
pleia2nigelb: s/canonical/every sane project and company anywhere :)16:58
* paultag cries at popey's dissapoint :(16:58
paultag+1 Pendulum16:58
paultagerm, pleia216:58
nigelbpleia2: except the ones I've ever worked for :)16:58
paultagnigelb: fail16:58
pleia2nigelb: not sane!16:58
nigelbI know!16:58
paultaggithub supports that workflow really really well16:58
nigelbMost places are "we have to release, not write tests"16:59
paultagnigelb: sed s/Most\ places/Most\ two-bit\ places//g16:59
nigelbhaha16:59
nigelb+1 there too16:59
paultagnot having code review = fail16:59
paultagnigelb: even tenach and myself when we work on projects together. One will push to the local branch, then someone reviews it and commits. It's bad to push your own commits live17:00
nigelbpaultag: I know, but hey, ubuntu projects are all great with tarmac, etc17:02
nigelbWell, tarmac doesn't help review, but it helps the review workflow17:03
nigelbNo reason to be lazy to land17:03
nigelbdholbach: You want to hand hold the person in #ubuntu-devel? :)17:07
dholbachnigelb, hm?17:14
nigelbdholbach: There was someone who came into #ubuntu-devel wanting to know where to start. if I weren't busy, I'd have helped him out right away.17:14
macocjwatson sent him to #ubuntu-app-devel17:15
dholbachI need to rush out the office in a bit17:15
nhandlerI still think we should close #ubuntu-app-devel and merge it into another channel. Most of the time, someone joins, asks a questions, gets 0 responses, and quiets. I see very few people actually get help in there.17:19
Picinhandler: What would be a good candidate for the merging though?17:26
nhandlerPici: Depends on what part of the process they are on. If they are programming it, send them to one of the python, perl, c, etc channels. If they are trying to add an indicator or something else like that, send them to an ayatana channel. If they are ready to get it into the repositories, #ubuntu-packaging will help them.17:29
nigelbnhandler: The problem is, people who are not sure what they wwant to do.17:32
nigelbYeah, things brings up ubuntu-wanted17:32
nigelbor probably openhatch.17:32
nigelbActually, hrm, openhatch is a potentially good place.17:33
nhandlernigelb: Well, in its current state, they won't get much help with that problem (or any problem) in #ubuntu-app-devel .17:34
nigelbnhandler: I know.17:34
nigelbTrying to figure out how to fix that.17:36
nigelbMy things to do tonight is too long. Laters.17:36
dholbachalright my friends17:38
dholbachI call it a day17:38
dholbachsee you all tomorrow17:38

nigelbjcastro: So, there's a game engine.  Guess what its called? Unity3D.19:02
jcastroyeah19:03
jcastroit's been around for a while19:03
nigelbI was wondering why the blog post about Unity 3D I was reading had a totally different logo and the post was confusing :)19:03
Pendulumnigelb: one of my mates programs things on it. He also was one of the first people to introduce me to linux. I've had some very confused moments due to that19:08
nigelbheh19:08
jcastroheya popey19:29
jcastrowhat HP server do you have?19:29
jcastropleia2: did you get a preshipment or did all the earrings go out?19:30
nhandlerjcastro: You ordered a pair?19:31
jcastroyeah for my wife19:32
pleia2jcastro: I ordered them along with everyone else :) but the company is like 15 miles from me19:32
jcastrooh19:32
jcastroso maybe I'll get them tommorrow or monday19:32
pleia2I used google checkout and it gave me a shipment notification when they shipped19:33
popeyjcastro: HP Microserver20:21
popeyjcastro: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/25330520:21
popeytis small20:21
jcastrooh man20:27
jcastrothat looks awesome20:28
jcastrooh dude20:28
jcastroand an esata port20:28
jcastropretty cheap too20:29
popeyyeah, and you get cashback20:30
popeyI've had mine 6 months and the offer has been on all that time20:30
popeywe're giving one away on the podcast soon :D20:31
jcastroI am surprised there aren't tons of little low power servers like this20:31
jcastrowith atoms and stuff20:31
popeyyeah20:31
jcastroof course, I don't mean the dumb WHS ones without VGA ports (stooooooopid)20:31
popeythe fact that it has room for 4 drives is handy20:31
popeywell, 5 drives20:31
popeyI moved the boot disk to the optical bay20:31
jcastroright, I have a 5 drive external esata enclosure and this old P4 desktop acting as a "server"20:32
jcastrowhen that dies I can put the 6TB external array on something like this and also get another 4 bays, brilliant.20:32
popeyheh20:32
popeythe only gotcha with these cheap servers is that the esata port is usually incapable of doing port multipliers20:33
popeyso your external array presents 4 drives over one esata cable20:33
jcastroPCI card there20:33
popeythe server only sees the first disk20:33
popeyyeah, thats what I did20:33
popeyroom for two in fact20:33
jcastroright20:33
popeywhich is surprising20:33
jcastroso you'd think they'd have a line of these20:33
jcastrofrom 3 bays, up to 8 bays20:33
popeyyeah, discontinued apparently20:33
popeyhence the low price20:33
jcastrowith nothing but ports, drives, and a low power Atom chip20:34
jcastroyeah20:34
popeybut I think because a bunch of geeks went nuts for them, they extended the offer20:34
jcastrothey are discontinuing all their home server stuff and redoing it apparently20:34
popeyahh20:34
popeyits also got an internal usb port which is neat20:34
jcastrothe mediaserver line or whatever20:34
popeyso you can put the boot disk on usb :D20:34
jcastrothey got totally screwed by microsoft20:34
jcastrowindows home server has this awesome feature20:34
jcastrothat lets you put in whatever size drives you have20:34
jcastroand makes it all magical drobo style20:34
popeyoh, yeah, and they removed it?20:35
jcastroand then for the next version they said "oh that's enterprise level, sorry, removing that."20:35
popeythat sucks20:35
popeylooking forward to btrfs :D20:35
popeywhich does that20:35
jcastrobut iirc I read hp is redoing the entire line built on webos20:35
popeyblimey20:35
jcastrowhich means .... easy ubuntu server20:35
popeyyeah20:35
jcastroI love their reason for removing the feature, "enterprise level"20:36
jcastroyou know, for pro sysadmins building raid arrays out of different size disks they have laying around20:36
jcastro*rolleyes*20:36
popeyhaha20:36
jcastrobut hey, gives btrfs time to finish up20:36
jcastroand then I hope to see tons of these cheap home things coming out20:37
popeyyeah, I'd love a fully free software drobo-like20:37
jcastrobtrfs gives us all that beautifulness afaict20:38
popeyyeah20:38
popeya friend of mine is involved in it and speaks highly of it20:38
popeyexcept for the fact that it's kinda missing a fsck tool ☺20:38
popeywell, a working fsck tool20:38
jcastroheh20:38
jcastrowhat I did for my last enclosure is just max out the disks in it20:39
jcastroand I'll leave it ext4 until it dies20:39
popeysmart20:39
jcastrobut the new stuff I'll btrfs when I need the room20:39
paultag← using btrfs21:06
paultagworks fine now, at least for me :)21:06
paultagmhall119: do you have an interface for status.ubuntu?22:17
paultagerm, that might be cjohnston22:17
mhall119you mean an API?22:18
paultagmhall119: an API would work great22:19
paultagmhall119: bindings would be better, but an API would be great22:19
cjohnstonpaultag: not really, no.. why22:30
paultagcjohnston: I'm slowly putting together an android app for my Nook that fetches all sorts of data on projects linked to the instance. I want good Ubuntu connections so I don't have to go to websites to see data at a glance22:31
cjohnstongotcha..22:31
paultagcjohnston: I'd like some of the data from status.ubuntu (the graphs, in particular) to be gotable22:31
=== salgado is now known as salgado-afk
cjohnstonno, there is no API.. you can file a bug if you wish22:31
paultagcjohnston: it's OK. I'll wait until I flesh this out more22:32
paultagcjohnston: just wondering and planning. I don't even have LP hookups yet22:32
akgranerpopey, did you ever get that gadget for recording screencasts working?23:46
popeynot brilliantly no23:46
popeyvery disappointed23:46
akgranerahhh ok23:47
popeyso I use a script instead now23:47
popeywhich is still not great23:47
popey23:47
akgranerI was just trying to find some better solutions for me and was wondering23:47
akgranerand didn't want to spend the money if it as not worth the investment23:47
