snap-l"The widely accepted problem with MySQL is that it wasn’t built for webscale applications or those that must handle excessive transaction volumes."02:51
rick_h_snap-l: hah, I saw that article but passed it10:44
rick_h_thousands of mysql dbs...that's just scary10:45
Wolfgerso much mySQL hate....11:18
rick_h_yea, pretty much11:19
rick_h_HATE!11:19
WolfgerWhy? (given that I pretty much don't know one SQL server from another)11:19
rick_h_irc can't handle that much text11:19
Wolfgerroflcopter11:19
rick_h_because it's pretty much inferior in every way and does stupid things that I have to try to fix or work around11:20

brouschi wish11:24
Wolfgerwtf, brousch? Grand Rapids shooting spree?11:29
brouschbah, that is so last night11:29
brouschcrazy stuff11:30
brouschi think it started with a road rage incident where the crazy guy shot someone in the face. he probably thought he killed that guy, so might as well start offing everyone he knows11:32
rick_h_they don't mention that part at all in the article I was reading11:33
rick_h_http://www.freep.com/article/20110708/NEWS06/107080437/Horror-Grand-Rapids-7-dead-suspect-police-standoff?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|FRONTPAGE11:33
brousch7 dead, a wrong-way chase down the highway, and a 3 or 4 hour hostage situation11:33
brouschhttp://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/local/grand_rapids/Titanium-plate-saves-man-shot-in-nose?ref=scroller&categoryId=10001&status=true11:34
brouschyou need a better paper11:34
brouschmy speculation is that he figured he killed that guy, so might as well go crazy11:36
snap-lI think they also got the location of the gunshot would wrong11:46
snap-lhe surrendered, and I believe was able to walk outside, though he had a bullet wound11:47
snap-lmaybe the radio was confused.11:47
snap-lhttp://www.upi.com/News_Photos/News/Chile-students-stage-kissing-protest/5373/?spt=rcc&or=tn#!/2/11:50
snap-l^ WTF?11:50
brouschi think he shot himself in the head in the house11:55
snap-lhttp://www.mlive.com/opinion/muskegon/index.ssf/2011/07/letters_casey_anthony_case_pro.html11:55
snap-lThis opinion piece is stupid11:55
brouschon the scanner last night i heard "self-inflicted gun shot wound, suspect is down" and then the hostages walked out11:58
snap-lI'd heard that he had surrendered and was walking out11:59
snap-lapparently I missed that part11:59
WolfgerChileans know how to protest!12:01
WolfgerWe should organize protests like that over here.  "Hey, what do you think of the new government policy? Really? Me too. Let's go protest!"12:02
Wolfger"She didn't mean anything to me, honey, I was just protesting federal anti-marijuana laws over-riding state medical marijuana laws."12:10
snap-lI have created the most awesome intro for Open Metalcast ever.12:39
snap-lEpisode 25 will be awe-inspiring.12:40
rick_h_woo!12:41
bmcmahonsnap-l: will it be "brutal" ?12:43
=== bmcmahon is now known as nullspace
snap-lnullspace: It'll exceed expectations. ;)13:03
snap-lbrousch: Also, I regret to inform you that Ass Burners will not be appearing in this episode.13:19
jrwren"MySql is not webscale."13:55
jrwrenlolz13:55
snap-li think the moment you use the word webscale, your article / point / whatever takes a credibility hit13:56
jrwrenagreed.13:58
jrwrenits also completely ignorant of web history.13:58
jrwrenMySQL made the web what it is today becuase it IS webscale.13:58
jrwrensee slashdot, 199713:58
jrwrenand nearly everything since :)13:58

Wolfger<blink>14:03
WolfgerGrand Rapids is in the national news twice in one day?14:04
brouschut oh, what's the second thing?14:04
WolfgerSecond one is buried in an unrelated story, but there it is.... http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/africa/07/08/sudan.expatriates.hope/index.html?hpt=hp_bn214:04
brouschwe do have a bunch of refugees14:05
brouschok, beach time14:05
snap-l"AP A pickup truck driver stuck in a traffic jam Grand Rapids says a titanium plate in his nose kept him from being severely wounded or killed by gunman who fatally shot seven people and took his own life."14:05
_stink_geez14:06
brouschtraffic jam? 2 cars on a side street waiting for a semi to pull in a traffic jam?14:06
snap-lYeah, and Holland has a lot of migrant workers.14:06
WolfgerThanks, jjesse. Now I've got "The Final Countdown" stuck in my head.15:23
rick_h_wow, never realized they had vectored thrust on the shuttle like that15:24
jjessewelcome15:27
jjesseWolfger that song is in my head as well15:34

jcastrosnap-l: make a facebook login16:32
jcastroyou're missing out16:32
Wolfgerdeath to Facebook16:36
snap-ljcastro: Make turntable openID compliant16:37
snap-lhas about as much chance of happening as of me making a Facebook login again.16:37
gamerchick02openID is a good thing, but not enough places allow it, and far too many allow Facebook login.16:38
snap-lI did put in my email into the lottery, though16:38
snap-lWho'd win in a wrestling match, lemmy or god?16:38
snap-lthat's their captcha16:39
snap-lFunny thing is, I've seen that used elsewhere.16:39
Wolfgerand you have to type "lemmy"?16:45
snap-llemmy is god16:57
WolfgerOK, I'll ask... who.t.f. is Lemmy?17:10
WolfgerI'm guessing by your previous statement, somebody from Rush... ;-)17:10
snap-lOMFG17:11
snap-lMotorhead17:11
WolfgerOh.17:15
snap-ljcastro: Sent you an invite to play on wordfeud17:20
snap-lsnapl17:20
nullspacesnap-l: so a html5 audio player might be a nice touch on your blog....18:40
nullspaceand why is it so hard to find good industrial bands18:41
nullspaceso many sound exactly the same, crappy vocals and the same synth line18:41
snap-lnullspace: If you can find one that doesn't suck (HTML5, not Flash) I'd gladly put it up there.18:42
snap-lnullspace: Probably because the barrier to entry for industrial music isn't that high?18:42
snap-land there's not much that you can do with industrial music before it becomes non-industrial18:43
rick_h_lol18:43
snap-lIt's like bitching that you can't find any reggae music that doesn't sound like Bob Marley. :)18:43
snap-lAlso there's a lot of shit music that gets tagged industrial18:45
snap-lbreakcore, noisecore, whateverthefuckyouwanttocallitcore18:45
snap-lI <3 fucking with telemarketers.18:48
snap-lHad some scam artists call re lowering my interest rate18:49
snap-lso I put it on speakerphone, hit some touchtones, and put on 16 volt.18:49
_stink_haha18:49
snap-lnullspace: I take it you're listening to Club Metal?18:52
gamerchick02Anyone here heard of shortmail? thoughts?19:21
gamerchick02http://shortmail.com/19:21
snap-lI prefer tallmail19:21
gamerchick02hah, snap-l19:21
snap-land handsome19:21
gamerchick02i'm serious19:21
gamerchick02thinking of using that as a public email address19:22
snap-lWhat's the point of it?19:22
snap-lLooks pretty idiotic19:22
gamerchick02since it's character limited, it might cut down on spam. i've got a human-parsed setup on both my blog and tumblr19:22
gamerchick02it's like: rpgirl1981(at)gmail(dot)com19:23
gamerchick02i'm not sure what the point is.19:23
gamerchick02that's why i asked if anyone had tried it!! :-P19:23
snap-lLooks like a side-car for Twitter19:23
gamerchick02yeah19:23
snap-lLooks like hype and a problem looking for a solution to me.19:24
snap-ler, solution looking for a problem19:24
rick_h_sweet, chat on google plus19:26
rick_h_there goes google chat19:26
_stink_hah19:27
rick_h_anyone need an invite, I've got one handy19:27
_stink_just what i need, another way to chat with you folks :P19:27
snap-lrick_h_: Something new? I thought there was already Google Talk19:27
gamerchick02i prefer gtalk19:27
rick_h_meh, it's just a chat window to gtalk I think19:27
rick_h_like gmail19:27
snap-lYeah, I've had that since day one.19:27
rick_h_snap-l: yea, just got it from shutting down and hitting hte coffee shop and now19:28
rick_h_there was a popup asking me what circles could see me in chat19:28
snap-lAh, OK19:28
nullspacesnap-l: this is the current html5 player that I like http://protofunc.com/jme/19:30
snap-lDoes it automatically detect content in a Wordpress post?19:31
nullspaceI believe it has a wp-plugin19:31
nullspacesnap-l: this might help find one http://praegnanz.de/html5video/19:32
nullspacesnap-l: er nope no plugin19:33
snap-lI need something that is automatic19:33
nullspacewell look around on the matrix and find on with a wp support19:33
snap-lOr just let the browser handle it. ;)19:34
snap-lIt's not like it's video.19:34
nullspacetrue, I realize it's not a big deal and most if not all of your listeners are technically savey19:34
snap-lWell, that and the ones that I've seen are flash based, and require extra effort to feed them content19:36
snap-lPutting together the show notes in the blog post is already nearing the "not worth it" point19:36
nullspaceflash should be a backup for browsers that don't support html519:36
snap-lflash should die in a fire19:36
rick_h_++19:36
nullspaceI'll help with the kinddling and gasoline on that fire19:37
nullspacesnap-l: check out "age of computers" by inteface19:40
nullspacesnap-l: I think a lot bands want to be front line assembly but don't have the talent to support it19:46
snap-lPossibly19:50
snap-lWhich band do you have in mind that is drawing your ire?19:51
rick_h_oh sweet, didn't realize that through the wormhole was back on22:42
gamerchick02there. my last article for the gene kelly site is submitted. whoo hoo. now it's time for the newsletter. :)23:13
