snap-lhttp://openmetalcast.com/2011/11/15/open-metalcast-episode-34-something-for-everyone/12:47
brouschICS source is released. the world is good once again12:48
rick_h_heh, not quite12:49
brouscheh? what's holding it back?12:49
rick_h_the hiding of honeycomb, the fact that it's just not getting open/dropped. Still not "open source" etc12:50
brouschall of the honeycomb stuff is there too12:50
rick_h_right, but all markers/tags/etc are removed12:51
rick_h_<3 git12:51
brouschmaybe it really is crappy12:51
brouschanyways, i'm looking forward to cyanogenmod9 on my droid and nook color12:54
brouschrick_h_: you see this one? http://news.slashdot.org/story/11/11/14/2328232/android-ice-cream-sandwich-source-released13:03
brouschblah, sorry13:03
brouschi meant this one http://lucumr.pocoo.org/2011/11/15/modern-web-applications-are-here/13:03
brouschinteresting stuff13:03
rick_h_yea13:03
rick_h_it's how the new bookie ui works13:04
rick_h_though without websockets13:04
snap-lhttp://www.ecsspert.com/atari.php13:04
brouschi'll have to look at it13:05
brouschsnap-l: scary13:06
snap-lYeah, that's pretty neat.13:08
brouschrick_h_: CSS in less?13:21
rick_h_brousch: http://lesscss.org/13:21
rick_h_sass but with javascript/node instead of ruby13:21
brouschah! i was having trouble parsing it as a sentence13:22
brouschoooh, no ruby is a ++13:22
rick_h_sorry, tired today13:22
brouschrick_h_: busy absorbing massive amounts of information about launchpad?13:23
rick_h_heh, yea. I've never worked on a project with several teams of 4 people at the same time13:23
rick_h_email overload, info overload, new tech overload13:23
rick_h_and I have to resist trying to figure out how to redo it all :P13:23
brouschdid you happen to measure your head beforehand? i'm interested to see if it actually grows13:23
snap-lrick_h_: Rockstar: achievement Unlocked.13:24
rick_h_though I did do my first merge proposal on LP yesterday13:25
rick_h_so I can almost use the tool I'm working on :)13:25
rick_h_snap-l: heh, we'll see13:25
rick_h_go get your GoF book and read: http://www.muthukadan.net/docs/zca.html#an-example along with me now13:26
brouschoh crap, zope13:30
rick_h_lol13:30
snap-ln/url 113:31
brouschi'd like to take a year off of everything else and learn zope+plone13:31
* snap-l still hasn't read through the GoF book13:31
rick_h_heresy!13:32
snap-lmaybe it's because I have the HTML version, and it's a pain to read. ;)13:32
WolfgerGoF?13:32
snap-lDesign Patterns, aka the Gang of Four book13:32
Wolfgerah, I see. It's not enough to nickname the book, we have to also make and acronym for the nickname13:33
Wolfgera/and/an/13:33

* Wolfger quits typing fo the day13:33
snap-lWolfger: Yep.13:35
snap-lhttp://notinventedhe.re/on/2011-11-15/comic13:44
* rick_h_ looks away13:45
Wolfgerwtf? Amazon is selling the 4-book box set of Game of Thrones cheaper in paperback (with box) than in kindle edition.13:52
Wolfgerwhen a physical product is cheaper than a digital product, somebody's doing something wrong13:52
snap-lWolfger: That's because publishers set the prices on some of their books.13:54
snap-lBut yeah, I think that's precious13:54
snap-lSurest sign of a publisher that doesn't quite "get it" are the ones that charge hardcover prices for their eBooks, even when the paperback book prices is way cheaper.13:56
Wolfgerhttp://dilbert.com/strips/comic/2011-11-15/14:44
rick_h_ok, ssh gurus, I've got a ssh key in .pem format15:08
rick_h_I need a .pub?15:08
rick_h_halp?15:08
Milyardopem is a base64 encoded key15:13
Milyardowhat's the problem exactly?15:13
rick_h_I need a seperate pub/private files so I can add the pub to launchpad15:13
Milyardossh-keygen -E key.pem15:17
Milyardo-E switch says the cert it PEM format15:17
Milyardoman ssh-keygen15:17
rick_h_yea, not seeing -E15:17
rick_h_ssh-keygen: illegal option -- E15:18
rick_h_ssh-keygen -e -m PEM -f maybe15:19
MilyardoYes, sorry, I was looking at a BSD man page15:20
rick_h_bah, won't accept that...grrr. Maybe new key time I guess15:21
MilyardoYou also have to use the other flags you typcally use with ssh-keygen15:21
Milyardoie, -i to genereate a compatible private or public key15:22
* ColonelPanic001 rages15:41
brouschColonelPanic001: what do you have against The_Machine?15:43
The_MachineI had sex with his wife.15:43
The_MachineSorry about that.15:43
_stink_:O15:44
ColonelPanic001>_>15:44
The_Machine=D i kid.15:44

ColonelPanic001I was sure he was serious15:47
jrwrenrick_h_: ssh key in pem?16:12
rick_h_jrwren: yea, aws stuff16:12
jrwrenoh damn I did that once, but i've long forgotten.16:12
rick_h_nvm though, didn't need to add it to LP after all, just some ssh add of the right keys to get things to work16:12
jrwrenkeyforwarding ftw!16:12
jrwrenhttp://askubuntu.com/questions/79024/network-does-not-come-back-after-a-unclean-shutdown-poweroutage-var-run-netwo16:12
rick_h_running launchpad tests on ec2 ftw16:12
jrwrenanyone have issue with stale /var/run/network/ifstate after an unclean shutdown?16:13
rick_h_don't think so16:13
brouschjrwren: i have weird issues with wifi if i turn wifi off and back on16:14
brouschbasically i have to reboot to get wifi back16:14
jrwrenick. that sucks.16:16
brouschsounds like a problem in the same general area16:16
jrwrennah, this is just a stale file16:16
jrwrenthat sounds like a driver issue16:16
brouschno, i have it on two different computers16:16
brouschintel and ralink16:16
jrwrenif you can't ifdown eth0;ifup eth0 and get things to work, that is different than what I have16:16
brouschi'll check the state next time16:17
rick_h_hmm, so U1 syncs your Ubuntu One folder across devices right?16:24
rick_h_by default and all that?16:24
snap-lrick_h_: Yes, it's kinda like drop-box16:25
rick_h_except it won't copy the files down to my desktop machine. They're on my laptop, and on the web interface16:25
rick_h_but not the other machine connected16:25
snap-lWhat does u1sdtool -s say on the "other machine"?16:26
rick_h_http://paste.mitechie.com/show/449/16:26
snap-l u1sdtool -q16:27
snap-land then u1sdtool -c16:27
snap-lSometimes it gets wedged.16:27
rick_h_heh, only added one test file16:28
rick_h_and no worky16:28
rick_h_same -s and no file16:28
rick_h_oh, there it goes16:28
rick_h_oh wtf...16:28
snap-lAnd there's the other shoe16:29
snap-lWhich is why I have my read and review list synced via dropbox16:29
rick_h_yea, I guess  it's ok. Wanted to try to use it for screenshot sharing16:30
rick_h_obviously doing a lot of that fixing bugs/etc16:30
snap-lbecause U1 is a bitch when it comes to files that change or moving around files16:30
snap-lIt's strange how it's set up, because it doesn't act like a filesystem16:30
snap-lit acts very much like couchDB for files.16:31
snap-lso moving a file = delete old record, and hope that it generates a new record in the interim16:31
snap-lThough I like the sharing aspect of U1 better than Dropbox16:32
snap-lGreat. Got Bro-in-law's machine. Apparently he has the anti-spyware trojan on it17:42
snap-lwhat a pain17:43
snap-land I got an edict not to put Linux on it17:43
rick_h_how about dos?17:43
snap-lhah17:43
snap-lWell, I'm copying off everything on the drive17:44
snap-lit's an Asus EeePC 1000HD17:44
snap-lBut yeah, talk about hamstrung from the obvious solution17:46
Wolfgertell him if you can't put Linux on it and he doesn't have the master to reinstall from, you can't fix it.17:50
snap-lnot good enough. They don't have $$ for a new machine17:52
snap-lThough I'm going to try to get all of their Windows needs neatly coralled17:53
Wolfgerwell, cost has always been a good reason to switch to Linux17:53
WolfgerMaybe I'm just a bad family member...17:54
snap-lFrankly, there's only a handful of things that I'm not sure can be replaced17:54
WolfgerI have long since told everybody that comes to me for help that the answer to their Windows problems is to stop using Windows. I'll gladly service their machines for free, but I fix them my way.17:55
WolfgerSome people went Linux and were happy with it, some went with Linux and tolerated it, others quit coming to me for help. Problem solved across the board.17:56
jrwrensnap-l: is he paying you?17:57
Wolfgerthankfully nobody has come to me for help since 11.04 launched, because I have no idea what I'd install for them anymore.17:57
snap-ljrwren: It's called the family trust18:02
snap-lhe gets called whenever there's a car issue18:02
snap-lI get called whenever there's a computer issue18:02
Wolfgerah, well, that's a good trade off18:05
brouschsnap-l: but do you drive a nasty old beater that has constant problems and refuse to get a new car?18:13
jrwrengreat trade.18:13
snap-lbrousch: Point. ;)18:14
jrwrenyou did by a chrysler. give it 18mo.18:14
brouschi have one windows user who has not gotten the hint despite my constant whining about helping him. so now when he asks for help i make him wait 3 weeks18:16
jrwrenwho this?18:24
snap-lI really hate the Panera commercials18:26
snap-l"I make babies cry, love long walks on the beach, and I'm a Panera Baker"18:26
brouschwhat's a commercial?18:27
snap-lThat thing that happens when TV stops sucking18:28
brouschgreg-g: what do you use to backup your flickr?18:35
greg-gbrousch: lemme check :)18:37
greg-gbrousch: apparently I am doing both offlickr and flickrtouchr18:37
greg-gbrousch: I think one does metadata better while the other does... something better?18:37
greg-gI remember thinking "I'll figure out which one I like the results of better, and just use that" about 6 months ago18:38
brouschheh18:38
brouschi like flickr but want to be prepared for when yahoo dies18:39
ColonelPanic001http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/md61v/i_am_law_professor_and_activist_lawrence_lessig/18:39
greg-gbrousch: indeed. Also, I am excited for my coworkers (poorly named) project MediaGoblin, see mediagoblin.org18:41
brouschshouldn't that be GNU/mediagoblin?18:42
greg-git is, actually. GNU MediaGloblin, or GMG18:42
brouschi saw that and had to comment ;)18:43
greg-g:)18:43
brouschso it's like identi.ca for media?18:44
brouschstatus.net for media?18:44
greg-gkinda yeah, though the federation isn't implemented yet18:45
greg-gmore like a federated flickr, really (images, videos, commetns, tags, metadata, galleries, etc)18:45
snap-lcwebber is a part of this, isn't he?18:46
greg-gyep!18:47
snap-lMan, there si so much crap on a Windows XP instance.18:47
greg-git's his project18:47
snap-lgreg-g: Oh, well that stands to reason, then. ;)18:47
greg-gsnap-l: I forget, you know Chris?18:47
snap-lNot personally, but through identi.ca18:48
greg-gah, right18:48
greg-ghe's good stuff. CC's lead dev18:48
snap-lI don't think I know any CC folks other than yourself18:48
snap-lI knew Priyanka from SF, but she moved to Wikipedia18:48
snap-land several folks moved to Canonical / Mozilla18:49
greg-gAsheesh Laroia/paulproteus was a dev there18:49
greg-gif you know him.. that is18:49
snap-lI don't recall our paths crossing18:49
greg-goh well18:49
brouschi think federated is too complicated to really take off18:52
brouschwhat do we have that's federated now that "everyone" uses? email?18:53
greg-gyep18:53
snap-lGoogle Chrome sync, but that's not really "federated"18:53
greg-gso, federated only matters to the geeks18:54
snap-lWell, there's no compelling reason for federation right now18:54
greg-geveryone else will join the big cool instance that their friends are on, see: joindiaspora18:54
brouschwhat would be useful for flickr is a mirror of all your flickr stuff that gets synced to a usable web site18:56
brouschso when flickr gets evil, you're all set18:56
brouschif you use your own domain and rediect to flickr, then you can turn it to your mirror18:57
Wolfgergreg-g: "so, federated only matters to *SOME* geeks" <-- fixed that for you19:19
snap-lI think there's a larger number of geeks that care about federation19:23
Wolfger>0, yes19:24
snap-lThey might also be rather pragmatic about the whole thing.19:24
* ColonelPanic001 likes the Federation.19:31
WolfgerBah. The Klingon Empire is far superior19:33
brouschgrrrrrrrr, shotwell http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/344519:33
ColonelPanic001I can't argue much with Wolfger19:59
ColonelPanic001Im watching a loco cast about vim splits20:42
ColonelPanic001at the top, I swear there's a menu item that says "rapevim"20:43
* ColonelPanic001 glares at Rick20:43
rick_h_ropevim20:43
ColonelPanic001nope. RapeVim20:44
brouschso many ways to go with that, but none of them appropriate20:45
brouschi'm installing digikam. i fear this could lead to further qt/kde usage20:46
ColonelPanic001rick_h_: do you never use tabs at all?20:54
ColonelPanic001(also, nice screencast)20:55
brouschoh man, digikam is much more powerful than f-spot and shotwell21:02
ColonelPanic001I've never used it21:06
jjesseyay for qt/kde usage21:06
brouschit seems that while Gnome was busy recreating a photo managing app over and over again, kde was busy making a really f-ing nice one21:06
jjesseits pretty powerful, i read some of the blog posts from one of the main author and suprised at how much it can do21:07
ColonelPanic001<3 KDE21:07
brouschi'm gonna set it to import my 15,000 photos tonight and see if it asplodes21:08
brouschthen i'll try out its detect duplicates feature and hopefully prune them down to 500021:09
snap-lwhile(i==0)21:09
rick_h_ColonelPanic001: NEVER!21:09
snap-li = Math.abs(rnd.nextInt() % 56);21:09
rick_h_ColonelPanic001: there are three more there, go get them21:09
snap-lcorrect me if I'm wrong, but that generates all random numbers from 0-55, correct?21:09
snap-l(this is Java code)21:09
ColonelPanic001rick_h_: saw, going to, yeah21:10
ColonelPanic001rick_h_: just curious. I never have before, kind of had it back-burnered to check them out sometime, maybe I'll push it to an even further back burner21:11
rick_h_there you go21:11
rick_h_don't go trying to learn new stuff all at once...headaches are expensive :P21:12
ColonelPanic001snap-l: wouldn't that just generate one? It only gerenated one random 1-5521:12
ColonelPanic001if it's zero, loops to do it again21:12
snap-lWell, iirc it generates a float from 0 - 1 unless you give it a size21:13
snap-lbut then you're taking that float from 0-1 and then modding it with 5621:13
* snap-l is going to have to public static void(String args[]) to see21:14
snap-lpublic static void main(String args []) {21:15
snap-lBah, fuck Java in the neck21:15
snap-lpublic static void main(String[] args) {21:15
ColonelPanic001I can't do that.21:15
ColonelPanic001I am not that talented.21:15
snap-lNo wonder people use Eclipse21:15
ColonelPanic001<3 Eclipse21:18
ColonelPanic001the only java I do is for Android. Eclipse saved my mind21:18
ColonelPanic001rick_h_: what was "DrChip"?21:20
ColonelPanic001You can't put all kinds of mysteriously-named menu items on a screencast and not tell us about the goodies21:21
snap-lOK, I think I missed something21:21
snap-lchecking...21:22
snap-lsuspicion confirmed21:24
snap-lDeveloper carefully gathers seeds the random number generator from epoch seconds, then uses a number from 0-55.21:25
snap-lnote: this is supposed to be a very random number.21:26
snap-l*sigh*21:26
snap-land the only reason for not chosing heavy drinking is because I'm on allergy meds.21:31
snap-lchoosing, rather21:31
snap-l(well, that and I'm at work, and have this yoke of responsibility that I proudly wear)21:31
brouschfrom crazy_paranoid_shit import seriously_fucking_random as random21:32
ColonelPanic001want to figure out what dumb thing I'm doing in vim instead?21:32
snap-l(and the only booze in the house is a 1/3 bottle of Cab Sav)21:32
snap-lColonelPanic001: Sure. Lay it on us.21:32
ColonelPanic001wait - in a .vim plugin file, is it picky about tabs vs. spaces?21:33
ColonelPanic001maybe that's why this isn't working21:33
snap-lnot sure, but what's the problem you're having?21:33
ColonelPanic001http://www.koch.ro/blog/index.php?/archives/63-VIM-an-a-PHP-IDE.html#id221:33
ColonelPanic001I'm trying to do that Codesniffer integration thing there21:33
ColonelPanic001he gives a snippe there to copy and paste. I do. Nothing happens when I do :Phpcs21:34
rick_h_ColonelPanic001: ? DrChip?21:34
ColonelPanic001it was in your screencast21:35
rick_h_ah, don't recall tbh21:35
ColonelPanic001no problem, just randomly curious21:35
snap-lColonelPanic001: Do you have phpcsw installed?21:36
ColonelPanic001yeah, I can do "phpcs whatever.php" fine21:36
ColonelPanic001in vim, I get nothing. No error either, though21:36
snap-lHave you restarted vim?21:36
ColonelPanic001yeah, opened a new one to try it21:36
snap-lDo you see any errors when you fire up vim?21:37
ColonelPanic001you know, hang on. I am dumb21:37
ColonelPanic001that "standard" set to YMC? on the cli, that throws an error, saying it's not installed21:37
snap-l;)21:38
snap-lThe computer can only yell so much21:38
ColonelPanic001ugh, so now it comes up like if you do a ":! command", not sure of the name there21:38
ColonelPanic001the "Press ENTER or type command to continue" type thing.21:38
ColonelPanic001and shows raw CSV21:38
ColonelPanic001this blog is such a tease21:38
ColonelPanic001only shows the first one, too.21:39
ColonelPanic001checking to see if the errorformat is right. meh, it's not vital anyway21:42
