| paultag | lolwut | 16:34 |
| nigelb | paultag! | 16:34 |
| nigelb | how are ya? | 16:34 |
| paultag | nigelb: howareya | 16:34 |
| paultag | nigelb: well, thanks for asking, and yourself? | 16:34 |
| nigelb | pretty good | 16:35 |
| paultag | rocken | 16:35 |
| paultag | OK, time for a question: Who has a cool idea for a hardhack. I have some time and a little bit of cash to play with | 16:36 |
| nigelb | upto what height can you drop iPad, XOOM, and Playbook, and it not get damaged seems to be hard enough :P | 16:37 |
| nigelb | Apparently, you have money too :P | 16:37 |
| paultag | nigelb: as fun as that sounds, I'm thinking hardhacks | 16:37 |
| paultag | so I'm considering taking a concerarge bell and making it interface to USB | 16:38 |
| paultag | and ding the bell when builds finish or something, or email | 16:38 |
| nigelb | paultag: dude, do something with arduino | 16:38 |
| paultag | but I get too much email for that to work well | 16:38 |
| paultag | nigelb: I have 3 already :) | 16:38 |
| nigelb | bah | 16:39 |
| nigelb | I want to buy an arduino and I have been too lazy to | 16:39 |
| nigelb | 24 | 16:39 |
| nigelb | grr | 16:39 |
| paultag | nigelb: yeah, they're fun. I have an assload of stuff I've written for the Arduino over the last few years | 16:39 |
| paultag | from RFID readers to a RGB lamp that does the mac-style throb | 16:40 |
| nigelb | damn | 16:41 |
| paultag | so; ideas | 16:41 |
| paultag | I want to do a hardhack :) | 16:41 |
| nigelb | paultag: ok, so make a generic framework where you can send a trigger from an arduino to indicator | 16:42 |
| nigelb | (libnotify that is) | 16:42 |
| paultag | nigelb: that's not a half bad idea | 16:43 |
| paultag | you'd have to avoid the RX / TX bins on the 'duno, but it'd be doable | 16:43 |
| paultag | pins * | 16:43 |
| nigelb | it should be gneric enough that it can be yes/no or messages (like temperature) | 16:43 |
| paultag | a little udev hackery and a sly little daemon and it'll work great | 16:44 |
| nigelb | yup, so get started! :P | 16:45 |
| paultag | nigelb: well, I will, but it's not a hardhack :) | 16:46 |
| paultag | nigelb: I'll moosh it into my next spare moments at work :) | 16:46 |
| nigelb | paultag: hah. | 16:46 |
| nigelb | paultag: write a phone OS in python :P | 16:47 |
| paultag | again; software!! :) | 16:48 |
| paultag | hardhack, something physical and badass | 16:48 |
| nigelb | build a computer, and write its os! | 16:48 |
| nigelb | paultag: make a mifi! | 16:48 |
| nigelb | pluin any usb internets and it should broadcast wifi | 16:48 |
| nigelb | and the product should be cheap | 16:49 |
| pleia2 | good day paultag and nigelb! <3 | 17:09 |
| nigelb | Morning pleia2 | 17:09 |
| paultag | morning pleia2! :) | 17:10 |
| paultag | pleia2: How's things, my friend? | 17:10 |
| pleia2 | paultag: good good! you? :) | 17:11 |
| paultag | pleia2: really well, thanks! :) -- Just sitting around my house down the cape, have my big-boy computer online again, and just found an awesome website -- http://manpacks.com/ | 17:12 |
| paultag | All I need is to find a nerd girl who can beat me at something cool and I'll be living the perfect life | 17:12 |
| nigelb | paultag: You should look at http://hackaday.com | 17:15 |
| nigelb | for the hard hack, not the nerd girl :P | 17:16 |
| pleia2 | paultag: haha, I've seen that site before, good stuff | 17:16 |
| pleia2 | perfect_life++ | 17:17 |
| nigelb | pleia2: I've taken a note not to look at your twitter stream on weekends. Its so full of fun! :D | 17:17 |
| pleia2 | nigelb: this is the perfect adventure city :) just driving home from the grocery store has potential for fun detours | 17:18 |
| pleia2 | ended up in japantown yesterday for lunch (fun!) while on the way to best buy to do a price match (boring!) | 17:18 |
| nigelb | pleia2: hehe :) | 17:19 |
| paultag | nigelb: yeah I know hackaday, I've been a big fan for a while | 17:23 |
| paultag | pleia2: totally :) | 17:23 |
| nigelb | paultag: hah. | 17:23 |
| paultag | pleia2: how are you? | 17:38 |
| paultag | Oh shucks, I already asked | 17:38 |
| paultag | $RANDOM_SMALLTALK_TOPIC | 17:39 |
| pleia2 | why yes, the weather here is beautiful | 17:42 |
| nigelb | heh | 17:43 |
| nigelb | zomgawesome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrEk06XXaAw | 17:44 |
| paultag | pleia2: :) | 17:49 |
| paultag | I know I'm such a raging badass, but "Lucky" off OK Computer (Radiohead) almost brings me to tears every time. It's just so goddamn spot on it hurts | 18:19 |
| paultag | Ugh, same with "The Tourist" | 18:25 |
| paultag | this album is just gold | 18:25 |
| pleia2 | paultag: you still about? | 19:30 |
| pleia2 | "The LoCo Council meets on the 3rd Tuesday of every month at 21:00 UTC. The next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday 16th August 2011, 20:00 UTC" which is it? 21:00 or 20:00? | 19:30 |
| paultag | pleia2: sure is. Hold on, let me look at the metting time on my gcal, that seems to be right | 19:31 |
| pleia2 | fridge thinks 20:00 | 19:31 |
| paultag | pleia2: that screwed up some other team as well | 19:31 |
| paultag | pleia2: yeah, I think it's 20:00, let me double check | 19:31 |
| pleia2 | it's the middle of our work day here in california, so I'd really rather not tell people the wrong time :) | 19:31 |
| pleia2 | (not sure who all will be able to make it anyway, but if people re-arrange their work day for it...) | 19:32 |
| paultag | 4-5 EST, by my watch | 19:32 |
| paultag | wait, that can't be right | 19:32 |
| paultag | I'm -0400, that would make it 00:00 UTC | 19:32 |
| paultag | Oh but it's 16:00 | 19:32 |
| paultag | so +4 is 20:00 | 19:32 |
| paultag | right, awesome | 19:33 |
| paultag | pleia2: 20:00 is correct | 19:33 |
| pleia2 | ok, can you update "The LoCo Council meets on the 3rd Tuesday of every month at 21:00 UTC." on the agenda page? :) | 19:33 |
| paultag | pleia2: yes ma'am | 19:33 |
| pleia2 | thank you sir! | 19:33 |
| paultag | no problem :) | 19:33 |
| paultag | all set | 19:34 |
| paultag | uh wait | 19:34 |
| paultag | fixed the commented out version :) | 19:34 |
| paultag | lookin' good | 19:35 |
