snap-lalso, congratulations on the sexing of your new arrival00:36
snap-l(man, that came out weird)00:36

greg-gthanks (?)00:38
snap-l:)00:38
rick_h_lol00:43
rick_h_I <3 my subaru11:29
rick_h_that is all :)11:29
Wolfgermorning11:59
rick_h_party12:02
greg-grick_h_: the wet roads made you <3 your subaru today? :)12:09
rick_h_greg-g: telegraph was flooded in 3 places12:09
rick_h_one whole intersection shut down12:09
rick_h_had to go on the sides of the road around it12:09
rick_h_stuck cars in a few places12:09
rick_h_was awesome!12:09
WolfgerYou had to go around it? Bah!12:10
WolfgerBuy a Jeep and drive on through! :-D12:11
rick_h_well the police cars with flashing lights kept me from trying12:11
rick_h_but I was tempted12:11
rick_h_I saw the one stuck car and think at that depth/level of moving water I could have made it12:11
Wolfgerwhenever the road I'm on is flooded out, I slow way down.... to allow the car in front of me to clear the puddle so I can blast on through at a decent speed. XD12:11
rick_h_yea, that's what killed me12:11
rick_h_morons don't know how to hit the water running12:12
greg-grick_h_: haha, awesome indeed :)12:23
greg-gwell, on my bike ride in..... no, nevermind, not nearly as cool :(12:24
rick_h_man, you ride in today?12:24
rick_h_you're crazy12:24
rick_h_bwuhahaha, 16gb of ram in the new work desktop12:25
rick_h_<312:25
brouschgeez12:25
rick_h_ugh, this bios blows12:30
snap-lrick_h_: I see you got your love note from IT. ;)12:30
rick_h_thinks the usb thumb drive is a hard drive12:30
greg-grick_h_: it wasn't really raining when i came in, just wore the rain pants/jacket and I was good to go12:30
rick_h_in order to boot from it you have to set the usb drive as the first hard drive and set hard drive as the first boot option12:30
rick_h_of course once I pull it you know the device names will change and grub will choke12:30
greg-gwerid12:30
rick_h_greg-g: ah, very cool12:31
snap-lrick_h_: Is this a Dell?12:31
rick_h_yea I guess I did see the radar letting up to the west this morning12:31
rick_h_no, some home built thing12:31
rick_h_asus amd something or other12:31
brouschusually you can bring up a boot menu12:31
snap-lAsus you shold be able to just boot from the USB key, unless they've changed something12:31
brouschand that lets you choose which hard drive to boot from12:31
rick_h_yea, what I mean is that the boot menu only shows one hard drive12:31
rick_h_and only the first hard drive in the 'hard drive' menu12:31
snap-lyeah, like rapidly hitting escape / del12:32
brouschah12:32
brouschit seems like the eeepc was like that12:32
rick_h_but yea, 16gb of ram, 1.5tb disk12:32
snap-lOh, that sucks.12:32
rick_h_yea, it's a pita12:32
rick_h_oh well12:32
snap-lBurn a CD. ;)12:32
rick_h_tempted, but that involves finding a blank in the office and hearing that damn thing spin all day12:32
brouschall day?12:33
rick_h_it's slow vs usb12:33
brouschbah, 45mins12:33
snap-lThought this was a boot once, install, and done deal?12:33
rick_h_installing from cd is dreadfully slow12:34
rick_h_I'm used to my 5min installs usb->ssd12:34
snap-lrick_h_: Pfft. One hour, and you're done.12:34
snap-lIf that12:34
brouschof course, i am thinking of an ubuntu install12:34
rick_h_jcastro: should be happy, finally installing 11.0412:34
brouschgonna rip out the good stuff?12:34
snap-lBah, haven't you heard? All the cool kids are on 11.10 now12:35
rick_h_hah12:35
rick_h_going to see about making this all VM, use vagrant12:35
snap-lIt's got all of the fixes that'll never be backported to 11.0412:35
brouschrick_h_: don't go messing with your laptop before pyohio12:35
rick_h_brousch: no, not touching it12:35
rick_h_this is all just on this desktop12:35
brouschmoving windows around 11.04 with a projector is not fun. not really something you want to do for the first time at a big conference12:36
rick_h_heh, no the laptop is still on arch12:36
snap-lbrousch: I've had no problems with mine.12:36
rick_h_not getting an ubuntu install until maybe the next LTS12:36
snap-lRuns smooth on a projector12:36
brouschmirror works well12:37
snap-lYeah, that's what I use.12:37
greg-gI have stupid "windows go everywhere!" when I switch between 1 and 2 monitors12:37
brouschnon-mirror does not work well12:37
brouschespecially with impress12:37
snap-lImpress is not happy under Natty12:37
snap-lEr, I'm thinking INkscape12:37
snap-lforgive.12:37
brouschinkscape isn't so bad12:38
rick_h_meh, doing rst->pdf and using pdf as the presentation format12:38
rick_h_seems to be working really well so far12:38
brouschi'm using S512:38
snap-lI don't use Impress for presentations anyway. I use PDFs.12:38
rick_h_scary, never thought of pdfs as a presentation format, but here we go12:38
brouschgood portability. so when i step on your laptop and the only person willing to lend you one runs winME, you're still good to go12:39
snap-lThey work. That's what the problem is12:39
rick_h_lol12:39
snap-lIt's not even a question of fallback, it completely short-circuits the process.12:41
snap-lGod, why do I even try to rsync anything over wireless.12:41
brouschbecause you enjoy pain12:41
snap-lHooked the laptop to wired ethernet, and just transfered a file in seconds that didn't even finish in a half hour12:42
snap-lAnd, which saturated the network enough that the iPhone couldn't connect to wireless. ;)12:42
rick_h_yea, days I love my wired gb switch12:42
snap-lbrousch: Indeed.12:42
snap-lThis isn't even 1gb, it's still 100mb12:42
snap-lBut still, faster than almost 54mb12:43
rick_h_ah, with the N network, 100mb isn't quite fast enough12:43
snap-lStill rockin' the WRT54GL. ;)12:44
snap-lUnfortunately Tomato doesn't support many N routers that I'm aware of12:44
brouschwe use wrt54g at work. very solid12:45
snap-lthough I'm starting to think that I'll need to forego it in favor of one of the other firmwares if I do decide to upgrade.12:45
rick_h_where's jrwren when I need him. He should read http://paste.ofcode.org/StxVZ8hfdhPhbbLAvq53rb and mike beyer's post on https://plus.google.com/109591387819364984777/posts/DNHcVxyP8Gs12:45
rick_h_yea, I have my tomoato router handling some of the network12:46
rick_h_but had to get the N for the netflix streaming12:46
snap-lI think the biggest hurdle in SQLAlchemy is knowing what you want in SQL, but not knowing the syntax enough to get there.12:48
snap-lbut that's not a fault of the ORM by a long shot12:48
snap-lI'm with Les Orchard to a certain extent12:48
rick_h_?12:49
snap-lHis comment is under Michael Foord's12:49
rick_h_ah, had to pull the page back up12:49
brouschheh, i shut down my last slicehost slice a year or so ago. they still send me a monthly invoice for -$0.7112:53
brouschyes, i have a 71 cent credit left over12:53
snap-lThey likely have some logic that won't cut a check until that credit is over $112:54
snap-lI really, really hate the Thinkpad Wireless drivers on this laptop12:58
snap-lAny time I go somewhere else, I have to manually find my own router.12:58
snap-lJust so they can show me that stupid distance graph12:59
snap-lMorning conference call is awesome.13:01
rick_h_woot13:02
snap-lJust a listening in call, so that's good13:02
snap-lAnd of course because I'm not using enough bandwidth, McAffee is doing an update.13:08
rick_h_lol, ubuntu install finished and when it went for a reboot is ejected the cdrom13:12
greg-gwait, isn't it supposed to?13:12
greg-goh, you didn't use a CD13:12
greg-ghaha13:12
rick_h_right, just funny13:13
greg-gthat is kind of hilarious13:13
snap-lLove that someone is using their laptop near the microphone.13:13
rick_h_oh come on, the laptop is the microphone13:14
snap-lIt's a good mic13:14
rick_h_gah! this is ghastly13:14
snap-lWhatever they're using.13:14
snap-lrick_h_: Let me help you.13:14
rick_h_how do you guys use this? giant freaking images13:14
rick_h_it burns!!!!!13:14
snap-lYou can change that.13:15
snap-lThey're sliding the microphone back and forth13:17
snap-lsounds like a creative labs mic.13:17
greg-grick_h_: lol13:18
snap-lWow, this is like nails on a chalkboard.13:18
rick_h_I'm stuck, it's downloading (very slowly) an ati driver so I can't apt-get install awesome, etc13:18

jrwrenspeaking of 11.10, how easy is it to get up in xen on 11.04 ?13:24
snap-lI abandoned Xen for KVM13:25
snap-lAnd Virtualbox13:25
jrwrenrick_h_: nice sql alchemy writeup there.13:25
Wolfgerso am I reading this correctly, that the wx module is producing the error because it can't find a bitmap image? http://pastebin.com/Kf95fL2513:25
snap-lPaste the sample code?13:26
jrwreni probably meant KVM13:27
jrwrenI don't recall what VM I went with last. :)13:27
snap-lI used the virtual manager under 11.04 for my demo at MUG because Virtualbox wouldn't boot the image I had13:27
snap-land it worked fine13:27
Wolfgersnap-l: http://pastebin.com/jaE5rnjz13:28
snap-lI've not stressed it mugh, though13:28
jrwrento run 11.11 ?13:29
snap-lNo, was running 10.0413:29
snap-lWow, it's really raining here.13:46
snap-lLove the rain13:46
snap-lthough not loving that I need to put the trash out in the rain.13:46
WolfgerHey, at least you don't have to drive through downtown in the rain14:05
WolfgerUtterly ridiculous14:06
snap-lI'm having trouble getting wxpython installed on this machine14:10
snap-l2.9.2 isn't setting up nicely.14:10
Wolfger:-(14:11
jjesseanother sunny and 95 day here in cinci14:11
snap-lTrying a more direct approach. ;)14:12
snap-lWolfger: Which version are you using? 2.8 or 2.9?14:13
Wolfgerok, coffee engaging brain... Despite traceback pointing me at line 47, I think the problem may be coming from line 46, where a .png is specified... a .png which I'm pretty sure does not exist on my machine14:14
snap-lThat's what I was hoping to demo14:15
snap-lunfortunately, I don't think this thing installs via pip14:15
Wolfger2.8 is what I have14:16
snap-lI got the error as a dialog box14:16
snap-lOne sec while my personal cloud waits14:17
brouschon windows you really need to use the right installer14:17
snap-lYeah, it's really tricky under Windows.14:18
brouschhave to match your python version, 32bit/64bit, and unicode14:18
snap-lhttp://ubuntuone.com/p/16e0/14:19
Wolfgerpython 2.7, wx 2.8-32bit-unicode14:19
WolfgerSpace Invaders? Seriously? LOL14:19
Wolfgerwow, that's nice that you get a dialog box like that14:20
WolfgerI just get a flicker of the screen. Had to Google the setting to dump the traceback to a log file so I could find out any damned thing14:21
gamerchick02did you know: there's Frozen Bubble for Android?14:23

gamerchick02it's on android. i found it! it's awesome.14:28
snap-land privacy concerns as the bat, that takes away your sword.14:28
snap-lYawn. Wake me when there's an iPhone version. ;)14:29
gamerchick02snap-l look in the iphone store. there might be.14:29
gamerchick02how do you use an iphone with linux? don't you need itunes?14:29
snap-lI don't. It's my work iPhone.14:30
snap-lGoes with the work computer14:31
gamerchick02oh14:31
gamerchick02you're work gave you an iphone?14:32
gamerchick02wow14:32
gamerchick02neat14:32
Wolfgersnap-l: issue confirmed. Found an existing .png to use and put the full path in on line 46, and I'm a happy coder (er... copy & paster? :-p)14:33
ColonelPanic001I sort of have a work phone. My SIM in it, and really, it's not assigned to me, more like they don't mind me using it, esp. since I do mobile stuff for work14:34
ColonelPanic001but, technically at any minute my boss could say someone else needs to use it, and it's out. heh14:35

ptenhoopenI thought that Apple banned GPL apps from their app store?14:37
ptenhoopenhttp://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/no-gpl-apps-for-apples-app-store/804614:37
ptenhoopenMaybe they changed their mind.  IDK14:38
WolfgerI need to stop copy/pasting crap and type the code myself. Not only would I catch errors like that, but also when I go to insert code I'm getting "unexpected indent" errors because the pasted code isn't indented the same as handwritten code :-p14:39
greg-gyou know what I hate about the phone hacking community: their over use of web forums to release software. Holy unable to tell what the current version is, batman!14:44
gamerchick02ptenhoopen, that's kind of crap. though it's Apple, they can do what they want with their app store.14:44
rick_h_greg-g: yea, +1 on that14:44
jrwrenGPL is banned from the store because its impossible to link GPL code with the core cocoa libraries.14:46
jrwrenLGPL should be fine.14:46
snap-lAnd SDL is dual licensed for that reason (LGPL / Commercial)14:48

Wolfger....and this is why semi-colons at the end-of-line is so much better than whitespace being a significant part of the code </grumble>15:10
rick_h_Blazeix: any issues with Virtualbox lately?15:11
rick_h_I'm trying to get it running with little luck15:11
rick_h_well I guess Virtualbox runs, but any vms fire off errors with lack of /dev/vboxdrv and such15:12
snap-lWhich version are you using?15:13
rick_h_4.1.0 OSE15:14
jrwrenwhat is why?15:16
jrwrenI much prefer whitespace15:16
jrwrenVB is awesome like that15:16
Wolfgerugh15:16
WolfgerI don't want to hunt through code to find where there's an extra/missing indent.15:17
greg-gsnap-l: I love how they say to follow U1 on identi.ca, but the identi.ca account hasn't been updated at all today, no 5 gig annoucement nor bit about downtown. (I already complained to beuno privately)15:17
rick_h_Wolfger: the exception tells you where it is15:18
greg-gyeah, line number and all :)15:18
rick_h_better yet, install pyflakes and it'll tell you right away15:18
rick_h_"you don't want this here...move it!"15:18
brouschi need to start using stuff like that, pyflakes and pylint15:18
rick_h_brousch: at pyohio hit me up, we'll get your vim all setup15:19
brouschmy what?15:19
rick_h_vim15:19
rick_h_what else are you hooking pyflakes/pylint into?15:19
rick_h_:P15:19
brouschpydev!15:19
* rick_h_ sighs15:19
Wolfgerlol15:19
brouschi think i had pylint in it before my HD fail15:19
brouschi am mostly using gedit lately15:19
* rick_h_ dbl sighs15:20
brouschi know15:20
greg-ghey, nothing wrong with using a basic editor for things15:20
rick_h_if you're using gedit you might as well be using vim15:20
greg-gif you're day isn't solely spent developing, that is15:20
rick_h_:P15:21
rick_h_greg-g: sssh, you're harshing my brousch guilt trip15:21
greg-glol15:21
greg-goh right, yeah, gedit suxorz15:21
rick_h_see! even greg-g says so15:21
* greg-g hides his gedit instance15:21
rick_h_and he knows all!15:21
brouschit does syntax highlighting, line numbers, paren matching, has an embedded python console, spell checking, snippets, indents correctly, shows me line at 80chars15:22
greg-gembedded console?15:22
brouschcheck the plugins15:22
greg-gneat15:22
greg-goh wait, sorry...15:22
greg-gthat's lame!15:22
jcastrorick_h_: man, my desk setup is awesome with those arms15:22
brouschif you're awesome, you can use the python console to manipulate your code15:23
Wolfgerrick_h_ greg-g: Yeah, the exception points me right to the line number, and I'm looking at it thinking "there's nothing wrong with that!", and I delete the whitespace and retype it, and magically the code works.15:23
jcastrorick_h_: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/ea4k8SXVmAUah4jwKTjhekqsPcXl0ndrBoGKzLUgZuo?feat=directlink15:23
rick_h_jcastro: <3 never regret getting them.15:23
brouschWolfger: get a real editor!15:23
Wolfgerapparantly, 2 tabs != 10 spaces even when each tab is 5 spaces wide15:23
brouschlike gedit15:23
rick_h_Wolfger: rule #1...don't ever ever ever use tabs15:24
jcastrorick_h_: I bought another corner of a galant, I will combine it with mine to make megadesk, with a total of 4 arms15:24
Wolfgerbrousch: On Windows, I like ConText15:24
brouschyou need to be beaten with the pep8 stick15:24
rick_h_find the "replace tabs with spaces" in your editor and move along15:24
rick_h_jcastro: looks awesome15:24
Wolfgerrick_h_: wtf? Why not?15:24
brouschthou shalt use 4 spaces to indent. no more, no less15:24
rick_h_Wolfger: tis the law15:24
Wolfgerwhat's wrong with tabs?15:24
Wolfgertabs > spaces15:25
brouschdiaf!15:25
rick_h_Wolfger: I'll just warn you now. If you go to the python community with tabs in your file you will get flamed15:25
brouschbut seriously, the python convention is 4 spaces15:25
rick_h_tools like pydev will yell at you15:25
rick_h_and if you mix tabs/spaces even python will yell at you15:25
brouschthe very strong python convention15:25
rick_h_very very string coding convention15:25
rick_h_you'll find the rule with less vigor in ruby world and even the JS world lately15:26
rick_h_though they use two spaces15:26
rick_h_but never a tab15:26
Wolfgerfascists15:27
greg-gyou can't spell efficiency without fascism15:31
snap-lgreg-g: Even better, the iPhone link for U1 Music goes tot he android page.15:31
greg-gsnap-l: lolz15:32
WolfgerOK, fixed the settings so 1 tab == 4 spaces and not hard tabs. Had to retype all the whitespace in the program, but it works now15:35
WolfgerI even mixed it up a bit, alternating lines of 2 tabs and 8 spaces indent, and Python treated them as equal. I'm happy now.15:36
snap-lFor the love of God, don't do that in real life. ;)15:39

Blazeixyou need to be in vboxusers, and modprobe vboxdrv15:45
Blazeixalso, vboxnetflt (i think that's what it's called) for networking15:45
greg-gbrousch: is it just me, or are all of the images at the bottom of the page broken (and thus, highly ironic)15:47

gamerchick02logic, how does it work.16:26
gamerchick02i'm about ready to put "self employed" on my resume.16:26
brouscha big part of getting a job is who you know16:26
brouschso get out there and meet some people16:26
brouschi'm surprised the queen of the nile doesn't have a good job-search team16:27
gamerchick02but i can't afford to go anywhere! and the people I know are unemployed or retired!16:27
snap-lInteresting, squeezebox server moved to sqlite from mysql16:27
gamerchick02brousch, i don't have that luxury. my officers would quit. and I can't afford that right now either.16:28
brouschwhat do you mean?16:28
brouschby your officers would quit?16:28
gamerchick02if i ordered them to job search for me16:29
gamerchick02it's all volunteer.16:29
snap-lI'm not sure I'm following either16:30
brouschno, just as a natural part of the networking that happens in a group like that16:30
gamerchick02brousch said something about a job search team. i can't order my people to do anything. i'm a figurehead of a volunteer organization. so, essentially, i can't *make* anyone do anything. i can request.16:30
brouschthere are many people in the group. when you are mingling, you mention that you're looking for a job16:30
snap-lYeah, we do that at MUG16:31
gamerchick02true. it's uncouth to pump people for jobs at a social event though.16:31
snap-lfolks looking for a job, folks looking to fill jobs16:31
gamerchick02"i'm just talking to you because you look employed and can help me get a job"16:31
snap-lIt's not like that at all16:31
brouschsnap-l: i saw that in the MUG video: people looking for jobs, jobs looking for people16:31
brouschgamerchick02: you're being much too direct16:32
gamerchick02social skills, how do they work?16:32
brousch"i'm talking to you because you're interesting, oh, and i'm looking for a job, so if you anything comes up ..."16:32
gamerchick02i'll try that approach.16:32
gamerchick02thanks16:32
brouschsocial skills work like any other skill, practice practice practice16:32
PainBankdrink drink drink16:33
PainBank:D16:33
gamerchick02heh. i do need some practice.16:33
gamerchick02oh, that works too.16:33
brouschPainBank: +116:33
PainBankstop when you reach the point you lose conversational ability... a skill to be perfected16:33
gamerchick02i do have an advantage that i have a wide range of interests, so barring some nit-picky stuff, i can speak with almost anyone about anything.16:33
PainBankhence why I try to practice as often as I can16:33
gamerchick02oi, that i'm not good at, PainBank (+1 to your name, btw)16:34
PainBankhaha thnx16:34
greg-ggamerchick02: do you use anything for chat on your android phone? if so, what?16:36
gamerchick02like IM?16:36
greg-gyeah16:36
gamerchick02i have the google talk program installed16:36
brouschandchat16:36
brouschgoogle talk16:36
gamerchick02does andchat do more than gtalk?16:36
PainBankIRC client16:36
gamerchick02oh. irc on my phone?16:36
PainBank:D16:36
gamerchick02that's way leet.16:37
PainBankAndroIRC16:37
greg-gI don't see a "google talk" app16:37
gamerchick02i did a search for google talk.16:38
gamerchick02it's the official gtalk app....16:38
gamerchick02from google.16:38
gamerchick02it's in my market. i think the market for my phone isn't restricted; one of the reasons why i went with it16:39
brouschgreg-g: usually it's already installed16:39
gamerchick02talk wasn't installed for me.16:39
PainBankgtalk works through... signing into gmail i believe16:39
gamerchick02some dorky programs that are pretty much useless to me were installed (twidroyd, i'm looking at you.)16:39
PainBankoh no, I have it as as sperate app16:39
PainBankjust called Talk16:39
* greg-g doesn't see gtalk in the market from google inc16:40
PainBankhtc pisses me off. I sooo want to uninstall Peep16:40
PainBankand perhaps a few other htc apps16:40
gamerchick02hrm.16:40
greg-gPainBank: ditto for Virgin :)16:40
PainBankmakes me really, really want to root the phone16:40
greg-gditto, might push me over the edge just still this stupid app called "poynt" on my app list I can't delete16:41
gamerchick02mine is called talk16:42
brouschyeah, it just says "Talk" on the icon, and has a little while speech bubble that says "talk"16:43
gamerchick02yeah, that's google talk16:43
gamerchick02ok: how do i keep programs from starting up automatically?16:43
gamerchick02and how do i exit programs without going to "applications" and "force quit"?16:44
brouschyou don't exit. exiting is deprecated behavior16:44
gamerchick02*blink blink*16:44
PainBankPOWER OFF!16:44
gamerchick02what?16:44
PainBank:D16:44
gamerchick02i am confuse.16:45
brouschandroid will exit the program when it runs out of ram16:45
PainBankthere are a few programs out there that are supposed to help with that16:45
gamerchick02but i don't want to run out of ram.16:45
brouschit is a feature16:45
gamerchick02can you tell i'm new to smartphones?16:45
PainBankbut I have been unimpressed so far16:45
gamerchick02in your phone?16:46
greg-gthere is no "talk" available here: https://market.android.com/developer?pub=Google+Inc.16:46
brouschhm, is gmail and google maps on there?16:47
rick_h_greg-g: if it's an official google device it has to be on there16:47
rick_h_the Talk app is actually used to be able to buy apps and such16:47
gamerchick02gah. greg-g, i promise you there's a "Talk" app on my phone and in my market. :( finding it, however might not be easy.16:47
gamerchick02i searched for talk and found a bunch of flirt apps16:49
gamerchick02oi16:50
PainBanktry google chat16:50
PainBanknice, android market place on the web has my installed apps....16:53
PainBanknot that I am a fan of the big G having my life documented...16:53
gamerchick02it's because your'e signed in with your google account16:54
gamerchick02has mine too.16:54
PainBankwell ya. :D16:54
brouschgreg-g: do you have a gmail account?16:54
PainBankof course Talk doesn't show up in there.... so it must be part of the default install of Android16:54
gamerchick02i've just given up and handed my life over to google16:54
gamerchick02i welcome our search overlords.16:54
gamerchick02PainBank, maybe that's it.16:55
gamerchick02greg-g look at your already installed apps.16:55
brouschi think you need a gmail/google account before some of that shows up16:55
PainBankoohhh the next way for senators to get blasted by the media....16:56

snap-lhttp://www.coderanch.com/t/448875/Web-Services/java/generate-java-class-wsdl-eclipse <- and it's discussions like this that make me stabby.17:17
snap-lEclipse comes with the webservice tools. You just need to right click the wsdl and click the generate the java client option. No need to use any third party jar file.17:17
brouschyeah, i don't use it for java17:18
brouschit's the best python ide out there17:18
snap-lThat's like saying that a shotgun is the best holepunch out there.17:19
brouschi mostly trying to rile up rick_h_ again17:20

gamerchick02PainBank, that's totally correct about that quote being awesomesauce.18:02
snap-lWhen your problem is Java, the only solution is to go fuck yourself.18:02
