| rick_h_ | jcastro: I'll be good and hit the answer up :P | 00:35 |
|---|---|---|
| jcastro | I also meant your other questions | 00:36 |
| jcastro | http://askubuntu.com/users/1550/rick | 00:36 |
| jcastro | otherwise when you ask it's like "0% accept rate" and people are like "ewww" | 00:36 |
| rick_h_ | yea, gotcha. I've got 100% on SO but my answers here haven't been home runs | 00:36 |
| rick_h_ | you're right though | 00:37 |
| snap-l | Good evening | 03:18 |
| _stink_ | yo | 03:34 |
| greg-g | hi hi | 03:41 |
| _stink_ | is it like noon there? | 03:41 |
| greg-g | about :) | 03:42 |
| snap-l | Uploading another Club Metal | 04:13 |
| snap-l | This is one you won't want to miss | 04:13 |
| snap-l | the lead track is so damn powerful | 04:13 |
| snap-l | Your ears deserve to hear this episode, so I couldn't wait to share: !openmetalcast Special Episode: Club Metal 7 | 04:31 |
| snap-l | http://openmetalcast.com/2011/11/17/open-metalcast-special-episode-club-metal-7/ | 04:31 |
| snap-l | Wow, identi.ca use has really tapered off | 04:35 |
| snap-l | http://identi.ca/snapl/all | 04:35 |
| greg-g | yeah, it is sad :( | 04:47 |
| snap-l | I'm not even getting the normal kook response | 04:53 |
| rick_h_ | morning | 12:39 |
| rick_h_ | bah, another day of rss, another day without a nexus link | 12:39 |
| Wolfger | rick_h_: at least it's a Friday without a nexus link... | 13:02 |
| rick_h_ | booooo! | 13:03 |
| rick_h_ | but yea, friday ftw, I need this weekend | 13:03 |
| Wolfger | this weekend will be nice. Next weekend will be better. 4-day ftw | 13:05 |
| brousch | rick_h_: so your head has not exploded yet? | 13:06 |
| rick_h_ | brousch: get with me at the end of the day | 13:08 |
| rick_h_ | if I can finally get my merges into dev today I'll be happy | 13:08 |
| rick_h_ | if not...get the paper towels | 13:08 |
| brousch | i'll bring a tarp | 13:10 |
| snap-l | http://openmetalcast.com/2011/11/17/open-metalcast-special-episode-club-metal-7/ | 13:21 |
| snap-l | You must listen to the first track, at the very least | 13:21 |
| snap-l | I know the industrial / cyber-metal isn't everyone's cup of tea. | 13:21 |
| brousch | dangit, i am just about to start ep 33 | 13:24 |
| brousch | i'm like 3 behind now | 13:24 |
| snap-l | That's OK. They don't expire. ;) | 13:24 |
| Wolfger | I need to go through and get the last instumetalcast still. | 13:25 |
| === jjesse_ is now known as jjesse | ||
| snap-l | http://xkcd.com/979/ | 14:14 |
| rick_h_ | yea, it needs to go into the halls of the great xkcd | 14:15 |
| ColonelPanic001 | so very true | 14:15 |
| ColonelPanic001 | especially the alt-text | 14:15 |
| snap-l | That's about it | 14:16 |
| ColonelPanic001 | I want to send flowers to the poster every time the thread only has two posts, and the second is the same guy saying "figured it out, here's what I did" | 14:16 |
| snap-l | Hey, Windows is updating | 14:16 |
| ColonelPanic001 | STOP | 14:16 |
| ColonelPanic001 | KILL IT | 14:16 |
| snap-l | ColonelPanic001: My favorites are the forum posts that have three posts. #1 is exactly the issue I'm having | 14:17 |
| snap-l | and the other two are "bump" | 14:17 |
| ColonelPanic001 | yeah | 14:17 |
| ColonelPanic001 | also have seen that. | 14:18 |
| snap-l | And by favorite, I mean that's when my soul dies a little bit more | 14:18 |
| ColonelPanic001 | https://www.xkcd.com/978/ | 14:18 |
| ColonelPanic001 | also good | 14:18 |
| snap-l | ColonelPanic001: Yeah, I'm sure more than one book out there has been Wikipedia fodder | 14:19 |
| ColonelPanic001 | I wish he mentioned which | 14:19 |
| ColonelPanic001 | I bet it's that one guy. Crap, forgot his name | 14:19 |
| ColonelPanic001 | looking | 14:20 |
| ColonelPanic001 | bah, I have no idea. Older asian guy with shoulder length hair | 14:21 |
| ColonelPanic001 | somehow, everytime I read the title of a book of his, it either sounds overly "pop" for pop science, or just.. suspicious | 14:22 |
| ColonelPanic001 | Michio Kaku | 14:22 |
| ColonelPanic001 | there it is | 14:22 |
| ColonelPanic001 | https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Michio_Kaku | 14:22 |
| snap-l | Michio | 14:23 |
| snap-l | Bah, you beat me to the answer | 14:23 |
| snap-l | was reading top-down | 14:23 |
| snap-l | I'm wondering if xkcd means something like those business books that purport to be science | 14:24 |
| snap-l | or based in science | 14:24 |
| ColonelPanic001 | business books? | 14:24 |
| ColonelPanic001 | "The One Minute Manager... with Physics" | 14:24 |
| ColonelPanic001 | I <3 https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/James_Burke_%28science_historian%29 | 14:24 |
| ColonelPanic001 | mainly just because I f'ing loved Connections | 14:24 |
| snap-l | "Here's the neuro-science of why you can't get up in the morning, based on a theory that you're brain feels you're instead running from alligators" | 14:25 |
| ColonelPanic001 | ah | 14:25 |
| snap-l | And her'es why coffee is bad for you, reason 101 | 14:25 |
| * ColonelPanic001 sips his french vanilla cappuccino | 14:26 | |
| snap-l | AND WHO MOVED MY GODDAMN CHEESE | 14:26 |
| ColonelPanic001 | must be some very good cheese | 14:29 |
| brousch | crazy stuff http://www.forbes.com/sites/alexknapp/2011/11/17/physicists-create-light-from-nothingness/ | 14:30 |
| snap-l | So Forbes does science when it's convenient to do so? :) | 14:31 |
| brousch | must be a slow business and finance news day | 14:32 |
| snap-l | I passed it along to JoDee | 14:33 |
| snap-l | Let's just say the big print exciteth, and the little print diminisheth | 14:34 |
| _stink_ | hah | 14:34 |
| _stink_ | yes | 14:34 |
| _stink_ | that headline writer should be ashamed. | 14:35 |
| _stink_ | science reporting sucks so bad. | 14:36 |
| snap-l | JoDee totally agrees | 14:36 |
| snap-l | It's the equivlent of "A PRESIDENT DIES! FIND OUT WHICH ONE!" | 14:36 |
| _stink_ | lulz | 14:36 |
| _stink_ | yeah | 14:36 |
| ColonelPanic001 | _stink_: yer one of them scientists. What's a decent place to read science news? As in, essentially pop-science. Serious, accurate stuff, but stuff I'll understand, at least well enough to look up background or ask about on my own. | 14:39 |
| _stink_ | this is very sad | 14:39 |
| _stink_ | but i honestly have no clue | 14:39 |
| _stink_ | i can ask around | 14:40 |
| * ColonelPanic001 checks his often neglected RSS reader | 14:40 | |
| ColonelPanic001 | http://www.ucsusa.org/ | 14:40 |
| ColonelPanic001 | http://www.newscientist.com/ | 14:40 |
| snap-l | physicsworld.com | 14:40 |
| ColonelPanic001 | http://www.sciencenews.org/ | 14:40 |
| snap-l | (so sayeth the JoDee) | 14:40 |
| ColonelPanic001 | your opinion on those would be great | 14:40 |
| ColonelPanic001 | snap-l: thanks, I'll add it | 14:40 |
| Wolfger | readable by the common man, yet accurate info? I don't think it exists. :-p | 14:40 |
| ColonelPanic001 | QUIET, NAYSAYER | 14:41 |
| Wolfger | nay | 14:41 |
| ColonelPanic001 | sayer | 14:41 |
| _stink_ | ucsusa.org seems political. | 14:41 |
| ColonelPanic001 | it is | 14:41 |
| ColonelPanic001 | maybe nevermind that one | 14:41 |
| snap-l | Skeptic's Guide to the Universe also has a lot of science on it | 14:41 |
| ColonelPanic001 | not really 'science news' | 14:41 |
| _stink_ | newscientist.com smells funky, but i'll dig deeper | 14:41 |
| ColonelPanic001 | I added these just on a whim, so feel free to tear them apart. | 14:42 |
| ColonelPanic001 | I'm not a "fan" of any of them | 14:42 |
| _stink_ | physicsworld.com looks very good, but is narrow. | 14:42 |
| ColonelPanic001 | it's narrow, but that's what RSS readers are for. heh | 14:42 |
| snap-l | astrobites is also good | 14:42 |
| _stink_ | sciencenews.org wins because of the hilarious front page picture and caption | 14:42 |
| snap-l | but it's extremely narrow. | 14:42 |
| Wolfger | "if you were able to spin a mirror at speeds close to the speed of light, then the mirror would convert virtual photons into actual photons" .... so, the headline should be "Physicists [Can] Create Light From Nothingness [in Theory]" | 14:43 |
| ColonelPanic001 | CNN.com: "PHYSICISTS CLAIM TO BE GOD" | 14:44 |
| snap-l | You're also using the physicist version of the word "light" | 14:44 |
| _stink_ | the subtitle on physicsworld.com is the right one: "Physicists convert virtual photons into real ones" | 14:44 |
| _stink_ | which is boring, i guess | 14:45 |
| _stink_ | http://www.sciencenews.org/view/access/id/336322/title/sm_vole-mokkonen2HR.jpg | 14:46 |
| _stink_ | c'mon that is funny | 14:46 |
| snap-l | That seriously need some captions | 14:47 |
| ColonelPanic001 | agreed | 14:48 |
| snap-l | I'm starting to think the Squeezebox server is not nearly as random as it claims | 14:49 |
| snap-l | three times this week it's recommended "The Buck Pets - Mercuritones" | 14:49 |
| snap-l | which either means that the algorithm isn't that great, or the Squeezebox feels that was a decent, but rather overlooked 1990s album. | 14:50 |
| snap-l | Which means my Squeezebox is a fucking music hipster | 14:50 |
| _stink_ | probably | 14:50 |
| ColonelPanic001 | awesome. someone has some musical crap over here | 14:51 |
| snap-l | Want some recommendations? | 14:52 |
| brousch | snap-l: i got the care box the other day. thanks | 15:00 |
| snap-l | brousch: Awesome. | 15:00 |
| snap-l | Did everything show up OK? | 15:00 |
| brousch | looks like it | 15:00 |
| snap-l | Cool. I was a little worried it might have scuffed up things. | 15:01 |
| brousch | snap-l: did you like Tyson Boogie? | 15:09 |
| brousch | a couple seemed OK | 15:09 |
| brousch | crap, forgot my headphones today | 15:10 |
| snap-l | brousch: I listened to it a bit | 15:10 |
| snap-l | Their description confuses me, though | 15:10 |
| snap-l | I'm hoping they're not indirectly covering AC/DC. :) | 15:11 |
| * snap-l tries not to play covers on the show | 15:11 | |
| ColonelPanic001 | I just looked at reallifecomics.com for the first time in ages | 15:52 |
| ColonelPanic001 | wtf he has a kid | 15:52 |
| snap-l | Yep | 15:52 |
| ColonelPanic001 | I missed so much :\ | 15:53 |
| snap-l | You weren't watching close enough | 15:53 |
| snap-l | he went and got married and had a kid all in that time | 15:53 |
| snap-l | It's YOUR FAULT. | 15:53 |
| ColonelPanic001 | I think I remember him getting married, don't remember | 15:53 |
| Wolfger | Awesome. I just loaded some media in Dolphin browser on my Android, and the progress bar started out at NAN% | 17:30 |
| Wolfger | then went up to 0% and on through 100% as expected. | 17:30 |
| Wolfger | what was the name of the service I used to use that tries to tie all your social networks together? (not that I expect anybody to *know* which one *I* used, but with a few guesses I should see and recognize the right one) | 17:33 |
| ColonelPanic001 | firefox | 17:34 |
| Wolfger | service, not app :-p | 17:35 |
| Wolfger | ColonelPanic001 gets a fail for the day | 17:35 |
| ColonelPanic001 | Firefox sync | 17:36 |
| Blazeix | plaxo? | 17:38 |
| Blazeix | that's the only one i know of | 17:38 |
| snap-l | ping.fm? | 17:40 |
| Wolfger | ping, yes! | 17:40 |
| Wolfger | Thank you | 17:40 |
| * snap-l pats himself on the head. | 17:40 | |
| Wolfger | Google suggested posterous and slideshare | 17:41 |
| snap-l | plaxo? Isn't that a prescription drug? :) | 17:41 |
| Blazeix | ping? isn't that apple's social network? | 17:48 |
| Wolfger | ping.fm predated Apple's ping by quite a bit | 17:53 |
| Wolfger | or maybe apple bought it out. i don't know. I pay little attention to what Apple does. | 17:53 |
| greg-g | not bought out, separatethings | 17:56 |
| greg-g | unlike my words | 17:56 |
| Wolfger | lol | 18:16 |
| brousch | snap-l: d00d, i just listened to omc ep 20. best. omc. evar. | 18:32 |
| brousch | live from penguicon | 18:32 |
| greg-g | oh right, with the new install, and no easy way to transfer radio stations/podcasts from one banshee install to another, I failed to resub to lococast/omc :( | 18:33 |
| brousch | well that was an old one that i missed. i have them queued up | 18:35 |
| snap-l | brousch: thanks. :) | 18:44 |
| snap-l | greg-g: Spread the love as well. Trying to grow the shows. :) | 18:47 |
| greg-g | snap-l: will do, I redent/tweet when I can :) | 18:48 |
| snap-l | Much appreciated. | 18:49 |
| snap-l | I'm sure the folks at the CC offices don't just listen to drum circles. ;) | 18:49 |
| greg-g | haha, not many metal heads, unfortunately | 18:50 |
| brousch | new age hippiy crap | 18:50 |
| Wolfger | what exactly is new age hippy music? | 18:55 |
| Wolfger | I mean it used to be Dylan and Joplin and Hendrix... | 18:56 |
| brousch | whale songs and gurgling water | 18:56 |
| Wolfger | ah, exactly as I thought.... just making crap up again. :-) | 18:57 |
| brousch | as usual | 19:00 |
| snap-l | It's the sound of whales yelling at each other overlaid with pan flute and harp. | 19:01 |
| brousch | that's much too violent | 19:02 |
| snap-l | do you speak whale? | 19:02 |
| brousch | it is the sound of whales making love in the deep while dryads and nymphs cheer them on | 19:02 |
| Wolfger | dryads live in forests.... | 19:03 |
| Wolfger | definitely not deep-dwelling cretures | 19:03 |
| Wolfger | :-p | 19:03 |
| * Wolfger wonders what exactly a hippy looks/acts like in brousch's mind | 19:04 | |
| brousch | so what's a dryad called that lives in a kelp forest? | 19:04 |
| Wolfger | *sigh* | 19:04 |
| Wolfger | a mermaid | 19:05 |
| Wolfger | dryads are tree spirits dammit | 19:05 |
| Wolfger | kelp "forest" nonwithstanding | 19:05 |
| Wolfger | sirens perhaps is what you're thinking of | 19:06 |
| brousch | i'm not thinking of anything. i'm making crap up | 19:07 |
| brousch | you're putting entirely too much thought into this thing | 19:07 |
| Wolfger | and thus Hannity and Limbaugh are explained. Don't think, just make crap up. :-) | 19:09 |
| snap-l | My mother was a dryad. | 19:09 |
| snap-l | btw: new cloudkicker album dropped | 19:17 |
| snap-l | two, actually. | 19:17 |
| ColonelPanic001 | WAT | 19:32 |
| ColonelPanic001 | must aquire. | 19:32 |
| Wolfger | vimhelp! | 19:39 |
| * Wolfger waits for rick_h_ to swoop in from out of nowhere | 19:40 | |
| rick_h_ | don't ask to ask...just ask :P | 19:40 |
| ColonelPanic001 | he did ask. to sak. | 19:40 |
| ColonelPanic001 | ask. | 19:40 |
| Wolfger | :set wm=80 does nothing.... :set wm=78 issues a new line after every whitespace | 19:40 |
| Wolfger | what am I doing wrong? | 19:41 |
| rick_h_ | use tw | 19:41 |
| rick_h_ | wm is based on the current window size, no current text | 19:41 |
| Wolfger | what is tw? | 19:41 |
| rick_h_ | textwidth | 19:41 |
| Wolfger | ok | 19:41 |
| rick_h_ | :help wm and :help tw | 19:41 |
| Wolfger | oh. Duh. wm is from the right border, not left. I misread that. Or rather, my brain ignored what I read in favor of what I expected. | 19:43 |
| Wolfger | thanks | 19:43 |
| rick_h_ | np | 19:43 |
| Wolfger | freshly armed with :help, /me heads back into the fray | 19:48 |
| ColonelPanic001 | Let Yourself Be Huge is pretty good | 19:53 |
| snap-l | Yeah, it's definitely a differnet album | 20:04 |
| ColonelPanic001 | THERE BE VOCALS IN THIS HERE CLOUDKICKER | 20:07 |
| snap-l | release the hounds | 20:08 |
| ColonelPanic001 | with bees in their mouths | 20:08 |
| rick_h_ | Blazeix: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCexiX_eUJA&feature=youtu.be&hd=1 YUI MVC fun | 20:09 |
| ColonelPanic001 | I don't like ever mentioning an author in code comments, because svn/git/etc does that anyway, and often there's plenty of people that alter the code. can't list them all. | 20:11 |
| ColonelPanic001 | thoughts? | 20:11 |
| snap-l | agree | 20:11 |
| _stink_ | you are trying to take all the crdit | 20:11 |
| _stink_ | credit | 20:11 |
| rick_h_ | ColonelPanic001: +1, don't make crap in comments I don't care about | 20:12 |
| ColonelPanic001 | nah, it's just for example, here in grades.php. What is Eric edits it? Am I stil the "author"? Of what parts? | 20:12 |
| snap-l | ColonelPanic001: Also, it depends on if this is code that's being exposed to the rest of the world | 20:12 |
| snap-l | or if the license demands credit (aka: the XFree license) | 20:12 |
| _stink_ | right, just teach people git blame | 20:13 |
| snap-l | There needs to be a git bless | 20:13 |
| snap-l | blame for "who broke the $%%&%^& build" | 20:13 |
| ColonelPanic001 | heh | 20:13 |
| snap-l | Bless to turn people into objects in Perl. ;) | 20:13 |
| snap-l | Um, n/ms | 20:13 |
| ColonelPanic001 | I give up. | 20:53 |
| ColonelPanic001 | find . -name "*.php" works | 20:53 |
| ColonelPanic001 | I want to add to that, "-exec php -l;" | 20:53 |
| ColonelPanic001 | find: missing argument to `-exec' | 20:53 |
| ColonelPanic001 | I've tried all kinds of variations on that | 20:54 |
| ColonelPanic001 | halp | 20:54 |
| ColonelPanic001 | _stink_ fixed it | 20:55 |
| ColonelPanic001 | needed a trailing, \, seems | 20:55 |
| ColonelPanic001 | find . -name "*.php" -exec php -l {} \; | 20:55 |
| snap-l | yes | 20:56 |
| snap-l | You can also use xargs | 20:56 |
| _stink_ | heh | 20:57 |
| snap-l | find . -name "*.php" -print0 | xargs -0 php -l | 20:57 |
| snap-l | I believe that's equivalent, and will also null-pad spaces. | 20:57 |
| _stink_ | ColonelPanic001: I TOLD YOU TO ASK HERE | 20:57 |
| ColonelPanic001 | nah, the xargs method is how I started try to do it, and it gave me problems | 20:58 |
| ColonelPanic001 | I'm not picky | 20:58 |
| snap-l | Well, my most random e-mail of the day: | 21:00 |
| snap-l | SOme seminar for getting my resume read by recruiters | 21:00 |
| snap-l | Sponsored by my company | 21:00 |
| snap-l | I think they're telling me something | 21:00 |
| ColonelPanic001 | heh | 21:00 |
| ColonelPanic001 | I wonder if I could make vim run php -l on a php files whenever I save it. I may try this after a bathroom break | 21:01 |
| snap-l | it was a meeting notice | 21:01 |
| rick_h_ | Blazeix: you around this weekend? Would love to pick your brain on this: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~rharding/launchpad/bugfix_891735/view/head:/lib/lp/contrib/javascript/yui3-gallery/gallery-text-expander/gallery-text-expander.js | 21:04 |
| rick_h_ | basically rehacked the heck of a plugin that needed help | 21:04 |
| rick_h_ | but it's friday and I'm missing an easier way to do the resize on deleting I think | 21:04 |
| Blazeix | rick_h_: hey, I'll be around. I haven't examined the yui text expander code yet, but did you see this recent alistapart article? http://www.alistapart.com/articles/expanding-text-areas-made-elegant/ | 22:47 |
| rick_h_ | Blazeix: yea, I changed some of the old plugin based on that | 23:56 |
| rick_h_ | like the move from the keyup event to the valueChange YUI event | 23:56 |
| rick_h_ | but didn't go all the way to the dual html element setup | 23:56 |
| Blazeix | any particular reason? it looks like the old plugin code assumes 60 char width, is a bit hacky | 23:58 |
| rick_h_ | heh, that's my change | 23:58 |
| rick_h_ | the old plugin code actually set the height to 1 line tall, and then reexpanded it | 23:58 |
| rick_h_ | I added the 60char test to try to avoid flashing it all the way to nothing and back again | 23:58 |
| rick_h_ | which is what I wanted to chat about | 23:58 |
| rick_h_ | the negative of the list apart stuff is the double elements | 23:59 |
| rick_h_ | I was trying to work with just keeping the single textarea | 23:59 |
| rick_h_ | oops, family over afk for a while | 23:59 |
