[15:31] <buddha0> call 911 pls
[15:38] <mhall119> won't help if we don't know your location
[16:05] <nigelb> srsly? :|
[16:10] <mhall119> srsly
[16:34] <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?
[16:35] <nigelb> pretty good
[16:35] <paultag> rocken
[16:36] <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
[16:37] <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
[16:38] <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 :)
[16:39] <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
[16:40] <paultag> from RFID readers to a RGB lamp that does the mac-style throb
[16:41] <nigelb> damn
[16:41] <paultag> so; ideas
[16:41] <paultag> I want to do a hardhack :)
[16:42] <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)
[16:43] <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)
[16:44] <paultag> a little udev hackery and a sly little daemon and it'll work great
[16:45] <nigelb> yup, so get started! :P
[16:46] <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.
[16:47] <nigelb> paultag: write a phone OS in python :P
[16:48] <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
[16:49] <nigelb> and the product should be cheap
[17:09] <pleia2> good day paultag and nigelb! <3
[17:09] <nigelb> Morning pleia2
[17:10] <paultag> morning pleia2! :)
[17:10] <paultag> pleia2: How's things, my friend?
[17:11] <pleia2> paultag: good good! you? :)
[17:12] <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
[17:15] <nigelb> paultag: You should look at http://hackaday.com
[17:16] <nigelb> for the hard hack, not the nerd girl :P
[17:16] <pleia2> paultag: haha, I've seen that site before, good stuff
[17:17] <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
[17:18] <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!)
[17:19] <nigelb> pleia2: hehe :)
[17:23] <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.
[17:38] <paultag> pleia2: how are you?
[17:38] <paultag> Oh shucks, I already asked
[17:39] <paultag> $RANDOM_SMALLTALK_TOPIC
[17:42] <pleia2> why yes, the weather here is beautiful
[17:43] <nigelb> heh
[17:44] <nigelb> zomgawesome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrEk06XXaAw
[17:49] <paultag> pleia2: :)
[18:19] <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
[18:25] <paultag> Ugh, same with "The Tourist"
[18:25] <paultag> this album is just gold
[19:30] <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?
[19:31] <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 :)
[19:32] <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
[19:33] <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 :)
[19:34] <paultag> all set
[19:34] <paultag> uh wait
[19:34] <paultag> fixed the commented out version :)
[19:35] <paultag> lookin' good
