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