snap-lYeah, it wasn't good00:04
rick_hsnap-l: http://vagrantup.com/docs/base_boxes.html00:13
rick_hI was checking that out today debating on something like a bookie box00:13
snap-lAh, OK.00:16
smoserrick_h, i'd rather you waste time using feeding ubuntu images via cloud-init00:17
snap-lhahaha00:17
rick_hyea, I wanted to chat with you about alternatives for this00:18
rick_hbecause I'll want something like this for LP so I can run/dev on LTS but run my laptop at latest00:18
smoserLP is chasing juju for obvious reasons, i believe.00:18
rick_hbut want something that's pretty quick/easy, offline00:18
smoserbut juju sits atop cloud-init00:18
rick_hyea, I looked at it, but didn't want to setup a whole OpenStack setup on the laptop if I didn't have to00:19
smoserbut my thoughts is just inserting stuff for cloud-init to run on a cdrom, then start the kvm. cloud-init takes over, and does whatever.00:19
smoserjuju working on using lxc for that.00:19
rick_hyea, duplicating the setup/communication that vagrant has built into it00:19
smoserbut that is quite reasonable as an objection. even with lxc, it is heavy.00:19
rick_hwhy I was hoping for vagrant + kvm, but no go yet00:19
smoserchasing vagrant there, i'd think i should make an effort to get them to use our images00:20
smoserand to seed them with cloud-init00:20
rick_hyou create the puppet manifests directory and it auto mounts it and runs it for you when you start the VBox VM00:20
smoser(*they'd only have to seed that one key and nothing else, really)00:20
rick_hnice thing is a reload command restarts the VM, and reruns the puppet stuff, but non-destructive00:20
rick_hhttp://www.vagrantbox.es/00:21
rick_hcool to have supported Ubuntu images00:21
rick_hyou can define in your Vagrant config where ot get the image from to start with00:21
smoseryeah, and them using them gives credit to the images, and makes them not have to worry about building/.maintaining images.00:21
rick_hand hten it caches it locally for all new vagrant boxes you create00:21
smoseryeah.00:21
smoserit is pretty neat, really.00:21
smoserbut not juju cool00:22
smoser:)00:22
rick_hyea, I'm too early, want half of one and half of the other00:22
rick_hbut at least learning puppet in between, so started hacking at that today00:22
rick_hfinally got hte kick to use it00:22
smoseryeah. they have stuff for setting up machines in EC2 for LP00:22
smoserstuff basically with the same effect as vagrant+puppet00:22
rick_hsnap-l: did you help with this?00:25
rick_hwhat topics do you have?00:25
rick_hoh good grief00:42
rick_hummmm, wow00:42

snap-lso that had to get sorted.03:55
rick_hthey did what?03:55
rick_hoh crap, sorry I bailed early. I didn't realize that03:55

rick_hheh, no more red lobster without Jim03:57

rick_hyea, I skipped that one today03:58
rick_hsaw something "50 pages"03:59

snap-lG'morning12:32
snap-lIs it just me, or is Google's bookmark sync a little flaky?12:36
Wolfgermorning12:40
WolfgerI dunno. I haven't really paid attention to Google's (Chrome?) bookmark sync.12:40
Wolfger...and if you're not talking about Chrome, I really have no idea12:41
snap-lYeah, I'm talking chrome12:41
Wolfgerbut so far as I can tell Chrome's works fine. I've just never run a fine tooth comb over it12:41
Wolfgerinteresting. The current woot-off deal is a dual-boot tablet.12:43
WolfgerI don't think I've ever seen anything sold as dual-boot before12:44
brouschi haven't seen a win7 tablet without a keyboard12:44
snap-lWolfger: dual-boot between what?12:44
Wolfgerwin 7 and android 2.212:45
snap-lThat's pretty interesting12:49
rick_hwe had a dual boot toshiba tablet at work12:58
rick_hused it to run survey software in windows and experiment with some android view of things12:58
snap-lReminder: CHC is tonight!13:26
snap-l8pm at the Royal Oak Caribou on Woodward.13:26
snap-lBe there, or live with regret.13:26
brouschHas anyone looked into this? http://republicwireless.com/13:38
snap-lNo. Looks like a Metro PCS competitor.13:44
snap-lOh, even better, it's Wifi13:44
snap-lI have a bit of a problem with these solutions13:50
snap-lUnless you cary around your own wifi network, you're essentially "riding the rails" ahd hoping for charity.13:51
brouschit uses sprint when there's no wifi13:51
snap-lSo you're paying for a brick, then. ;)13:51
snap-lThe only problem it seems to solve well is the "i have shit signal at home" problem.13:54
brousch$19/mo13:54
brouschthat solves about 60 problems for me13:55
snap-lIs connectivity one of those problems? Because it seems to solve that nicely. ;)13:55
brouschyou're really hating on sprint13:56
brouschmy biggest concern is with maps and navigation13:56
snap-lI'm hating on the piggybacking on wifi that isn't yours.13:56
brouschthat's when i'm away from wifi and downloading critical stuff13:57
snap-lIf we had wimax, I'd say this would be perfect.13:57
brouschbut non-wifi data is limited to 300MB/mo13:58
snap-lbut once you get out on the highway, I'm pretty sure Linksys isn't going to help you.13:58
brouschwith wimax that's like 10 seconds of data13:58
brouschi suppose an offline map app would work13:58
brouschor dedicated gps13:59
snap-lThis is awesoe. Apparently Macomb's "Angel" system got bought by Blackboard14:00
snap-land Blackboard isn't willing / able to give Macomb what they wanted14:00
snap-lso now they're looking for alternatives.14:00
brouschok, ok. how about a verizon mifi for those times when sprint sucks?14:16
brouschthat's like $30/mo14:17
snap-lAnd you're right back to $49 a month. :)14:20
snap-lbut I will say, if it's just for data only, that's not a bad deal14:20
brouschi pay $175/mo for our 2 smart phones on verizon14:21
snap-lOh God.14:21
brouschso $20+$20+$30 saves a lot14:21
brouschhow do you pay $49?14:21
snap-lThe one thing that bothers me is how well does it switch networks.14:21
snap-l19 + 30 = 49 a month for data / phone14:22
snap-lAnd JoDee's phone is decidedly more than $4914:22
brouschwhat provider has $19/mo?14:23
snap-lThe one you showed me?14:23
snap-lrepublic wireless14:23
brouschoh, i thought you were saying you pay that now14:24
snap-lI was adding up the cost of the $19 a month plan with the $30 a month mifi14:24
snap-lOh hell no14:24
brouschfor us, the mifi would be very occasional use14:24
brouschbasically just when visiting the boondocks14:25
brouschi think this could work14:25
brouschdamn. verizon is $50/mo for 5GB now14:29
snap-lYeah, they're not cheap14:32
brouschatt is the same price14:33
brouschi need a pay as you go mifi14:34
snap-ltime to make the donuts.14:52
snap-lGod, I forgot how bad Dream Theater's lyrics got on Black Clouds and Silver Linings.15:12

brouschWolfger: oh come on, hastings is as much grand rapids as ypsi is detroit17:31
WolfgerThe article mentions Grand Rapids twice before saying the event actually took place in Hastings... ;-)17:35
Wolfgerand anybody within 100 miles of Detroit tends to claim they are "from Detroit" :-p17:35
Wolfgerand yeah, I've been to Hastings. It's not Grand Rapids at all17:36

rick_hheh17:48
brouschtime to re-bite the java bullet?17:49
rick_hhave fun with that :P17:49
rick_hweb ftw!17:49
rick_hI mean if you've got a killer android app that you only want android users to use and you need native api stuff then have at it17:49
brouschweb isn't much good when you're offline or need access to native fun stuff like17:49
rick_hweb is fine for offline :P17:49
brouschif you dump all your crap offline when they were online i guess17:53
rick_hthey need to be online to install anyway17:53
brouschi've heard nothing but pain from people trying to do things with offline html5 though17:53
rick_hit's gotten better17:53
rick_hand if you do offline web is less painful than doing android + objective C + BB + desktop anyway17:54
brouschdevelopment pain, refreshing pain for people who were offline between releases17:54
brouschbah, screw iphone and BB17:54
brouschwtf is a desktop?17:54
rick_hlol17:54
brouschBB really?17:54
rick_hhaven't you heard, $$ there17:55
brouschfrom companies locked into BB hell desperate for modern apps?17:55
brouschactually at grdevday they said BB is dead app-wise17:55
brouschaverage BB user has 6 apps installed17:56
rick_hyea, but there was an article that some company made their app on BB and suddenly sales went $$17:56
rick_hbecause they're more willing to pay for things and higher prices17:56
rick_hI'll have to find the link later17:56
brouschdesperate for any little nugget you will offer them17:56
brousch"i will pay $25 for a facebook app instead of upgrading my phone!"17:57
snap-lrick_h: Depends on the app18:00
rick_hyea, sorry. Wasn't really serious18:00
rick_hwas just more an off the cuff reference to recent news18:00
rick_hI'm not caring about BB any more than anyone else18:00
brouschuntil canonical wants you to write a BB launchpad app18:01
snap-lhah18:01
brouschbecause you've hyped tits potential so much18:02
brouschits18:02
Blazeixlike anyone will believe that's a typo.18:02
snap-lApps in BB can command higher prices because 1) there's no competition, and 2) even people in hell want ice water.18:02
