rick_h_NC dude's qotd: "Fortune: Stone's Law: One man's "simple" is another man's "huh?"13:08
rick_h_this comes after I tried explaining how to fix his broken code using events in JS13:08
rick_h_so my reply: Rick's law, simple and huh are just points along the lines of education and experience. Both are lines we can move across. :)"13:09
brouschone man's simple is another man's java13:38
brouschhah, i love how the detroit area names their events "Michigan" when the rest of the state would love to disown that whole section13:46
snap-lrick_h_: I need that on a T-Shirt.13:49
snap-lTotally tweeted that.13:51
brousch:P13:53
snap-lbrousch: That's OK, we totally disown the rest of the state too.13:53
snap-lEspecially those crazy folks over on the west side.13:54
rick_h_hah14:26
rick_h_snap-l: yea, man that guy just hits every one of my pet peeves14:27
brouschrick_h_: you're very tenacious. i gave up convincing people at my work to learn long ago14:28
rick_h_the problem is he hops into the softdev channel and asks crap14:29
rick_h_"I'm trying to do this, does anyone know how to do it better?"14:29
rick_h_and of course, as the responsible co-worker trying to education I have to stick my foot in there14:29
rick_h_and it leads to an hour of why my way is too complicated/won't work14:29
rick_h_and then finally I get that quote left in the chat room after I leave14:29
rick_h_so I come back and go grrrrrrr14:30
snap-lIt's because he really doesn't want to learn a new way14:44
snap-lI think that's what's grinding you so badly.14:44
rick_h_I think what grinds me is that he writes crap16:03
snap-lRight, and he doesn't want to get better. ;)16:31
jjessespent the rainy morning here in CT at a Borders and was amazed at how trashed th store is, bathrooms not clean, books and crap on the floor, pretty disgusting18:36
gamerchick02i'm such a silly geek. got my wireless AP all set up with WPA2 security and a nice difficult password18:49
jjesseyay18:49
gamerchick02yeah18:53
gamerchick02i'm proud of myself. :)18:53
gamerchick02i like taunting the neighbors with our closed AP18:53
_stink_rick_h_: when you write your own decorators, do you use some special package for that?  google-fu suggests something might be better than the plain old function-that-takes-a-function in the regular syntax.19:30
=== gamerchick02_ is now known as gamerchick02
rick_h__stink_: just got through writing one for bookie20:52
rick_h_https://github.com/mitechie/Bookie/blob/feature%2Fapi/bookie/lib/access.py#L18320:52
_stink_rick_h_: cool, thanks.20:56
rick_h__stink_: it usually breaks down into "does the decorator need options?"20:57
rick_h_if so, then you need the class wrapper20:57
rick_h_if not, then you can use the plain version @something20:58
rick_h_it does import the decorator function20:58
rick_h_from decorator import decorator20:58
rick_h_not sure if that's what you saw/not20:58
_stink_rick_h_: yeah, i'm going to file this away - i'm chugging along using a pattern, but i'll soon learn if it's broken.21:01
rick_h_ok, sure thing21:02
rick_h_what are you using now?21:02
rick_h_just a normal function decorating?21:02
_stink_rick_h_: something like this: http://paste.mitechie.com/show/378/21:07
_stink_in pyramid21:07
snap-lHappy afternoon21:15
rick_h__stink_: right, cool21:19
rick_h_yea, that way you can't setup args to the decorator21:20
rick_h_so that's the only reason my example was the one with more bits21:20
rick_h_doesn't authenticate do a db query?21:20
rick_h_ah, nvm, this might be run by an admin or something as well21:21
snap-lhttp://www.dangerousminds.net/comments/captchas_to_keep_idiots_out_of_comment_threads/ <- snicker.21:23
snap-lMan, Ubuntu One is too easy to confuse.21:24
rick_h_heh21:25
snap-lI copied over a file at the coffee shop, but didn't let it finish up what it was doing21:25
snap-lso, naturally, when I get home, it won't copy over anything at all21:25
snap-lSo, just to get things working right, I copied it over to Dropbox21:26
snap-lblergh21:27
rick_h_brousch: snap-l _stink_ widox jrwren http://paste.mitechie.com/show/379/23:29
rick_h_which talk do you think I should go for at 1devday detroit?23:29
brouschis anyone else doing python?23:32
rick_h_not sure, I was asked to bring some python to the conference23:32
rick_h_"even a beginner python talk would be good" was the initial request23:32
brouschi would suggest the python then23:32
brouschif you can show the breadth of python, that's be great23:33
rick_h_yea, just wasn't sure that the whole sweeping talk would be great or try to use python as an exmaple that would apply to any language23:33
brouschbetter than bash, simple gui, easy web with flask O:-)23:34
brouschjust no gifs of women getting pooped on. those don't go over well23:35
rick_h_lol23:35
brouschmen are ok though23:35
snap-lYeah, nobody cares if men get crapped on23:36
brouschi should put one together for our grdevday23:39
brouschit's mostly .net people23:39
brouschok, i did it, i submitted23:57
rick_h_cool23:59
brouschHaving an intro to Python talk to hone over time will be very useful23:59
brouschnow i need some fun projects to show it off23:59
