rick_h_morning everyone12:51
Wolfgermorning12:59
WolfgerBlazeix: Tried :set rnu... "Unknown option". What vi clone are you using?13:05
rick_h_what about :set relativenumber13:06
rick_h_he's using the latest vim from arch, so 7.3 something probably13:06
Wolfgerrelativenumber also not working. I'm on vim 7.2 on Win XP13:07
rick_h_might be a 7.3 thing13:08
rick_h_upgrade!13:08
rick_h_you're like a year behind13:08
Wolfger:-p13:08
rick_h_2010-08-1513:08
rick_h_more than a year!13:08
rick_h_yea, looks like that was a 7.3 thing13:10
Wolfgerurg13:10
WolfgerMcAfee Web Gateway13:10
rick_h_really?13:10
Wolfger"Download in progress. Please Wait"13:11
rick_h_to vim.org?13:11
Wolfgerbut nothing's happening13:11
rick_h_sec13:11
WolfgerNo, I got to vim.org, but it's hosing up my download13:11
brouschvim is evilware. use eclipse13:11
Wolfgerok, got it now13:12
rick_h_ok then, I was uploading it to my s3 bucket13:12
Wolfgercombo of McAfee and NoScript13:12
Wolfgeronce I allowed vim.org, mcafee completed the download13:12
brouschrick_h_: you are among some great python hackers at canonical http://fwierzbicki.blogspot.com/2011/11/contributing-to-jython.html13:13
rick_h_brousch: why I came here.13:14
rick_h_http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/weblog/index.shtml works here13:14
brouschyeah13:14
rick_h_http://barry.warsaw.us/software/index.html13:15
brouschgeez13:15
rick_h_and that's just the top of the head guys13:16
rick_h_use a LOT of python13:16
brouschis the juju thing python?13:17
rick_h_not sure, I've honestly not looked at it closely yet13:17
brouschnow i wonder if canonical or google has more python code13:17
rick_h_http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~juju/juju/trunk/files13:18
rick_h_python13:18
WolfgerHmm. Not sure if I like or hate rnu...13:18
rick_h_Wolfger: heh13:18
rick_h_I tried it, doesn't work for me13:18
rick_h_but I get it if your brain works that way I suppose13:18
snap-lGood morning13:19
Wolfgerit's easier for, say, "8k", but absolutely sucks for "43G"13:19
Wolfgermorning snap-l13:19
rick_h_http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=6h5JSojJN3Y funny13:23
brouschheh'13:25
snap-lrick_h_: Not getting anything for that video13:26
rick_h_brousch: did it load for you?13:26
brouschyeah, it was fine13:26
rick_h_snap-l: must be trying to view it on an iphone13:26
snap-lBah, problem with my command13:26
brouschhe's creative13:26
rick_h_"command"? thought you just clicked the link in your gui world :P13:27
brouschi do. it's very nice13:27
snap-lrick_h_: har har13:27
brouschand gnome shell doesn't throw me over to the web page while it loads, it leaves me in pidgin and pops up a notice when the page is ready13:28
snap-lI use weechat, because I have one foot in the gui, and one foot in the cCLI13:28
brouschthen i click the notice and it takes me to chrome13:28
snap-lI'm keepin' it real.13:28
snap-lbrousch: I would punch that in the neck13:28
brouschmore like old school13:28
rick_h_I use irssi, I can still click on a link13:28
rick_h_I use a man's terminal, urxvt which detects urls :P13:29
rick_h_it's a terminal thing, not a cli app thing13:29
snap-lrick_h_: I use weechat,which adds a nick list on the side, and makes long links impossible to click13:29
rick_h_why do you need a nicklist?13:29
snap-l but I use /url 1 to "click" the link13:29
brouschthe gnome shell notices are less intrusive than unity's. they come up from the bottom and only go about 1/2". also they are clickable13:29
snap-lbecause typing 6 characters is a MAN'S terminal way of saving me a mouseclick. ;)13:30
brouschinsane13:30
snap-lbrousch: I know. Mr. CLI is getting in my shit over click ing links13:31
snap-l;)13:31
rick_h_because I find it funny that mister OSX "drool me some GUI" is issuing commands to open a link13:31
snap-lI'm surprised  ZSH doesn't automatically fetch the link for you and just wait for C-x C-X ^[ // url13:32
snap-lOh, wait, C-x would be an emacs shortcut. That's why. ;)13:34
rick_h_I knew you'd catch it sooner or later13:34
snap-lSurprised you're not taking it back.13:34
brouschdamnitall. carriers are making me not want to recommend android to people13:43
rick_h_heh, what did they do now?13:43
brouschmy boss got a new android phone but it started making crazy sounds during calls13:43
brouschhe took it in, they installed task killer because the problem was caused by all the crap verizon installed on the phone13:44
snap-lLovely.13:44
brouschmy dad got one and had to return it 2 times because the antenna was bad, and the mic on his exchanged unit was bad13:45
brouschnot carrier there, i suppose13:45
brouschat least with windows computers full of dell crapware you can uninstall it13:46
brouschi will whine on twitter. that is sure to get results13:48
Wolfgerlol14:01
Wolfgermy only real issue with my Android phone is that the notification sounds for e-mail, etc will play while I'm on a call. Very annoying.14:02
brouschhm, i don't notice that14:03
brouschbut i am on a call like 20mins/mo14:03
snap-lI really think Apple had the right idea in telling the carriers (AT&T) what they could and could not do with their phones14:11
snap-lBecause carriers are like PC manufacturers: Shovel in more shit until something blows up, then scoop out what caused the explosion and ship it14:12
brouschi didn't realize how bad it had gotten, i've been using cyanogenmod for so long14:13
snap-lI'd be willing to bet that most of everyone's problems with Windows are directly related to the crap the manufacturers ship on the machine pre-installed14:14
brouschand viruses14:15
snap-lWell, that's a post-install modification. :)14:15
mydogsnameisrudywindows sucks when it gets bogged down with all the crap they dump on your system14:16
brouschmydogsnameisrudy: yeah, and now they've started doing that on android phone14:17
brouschbut it's worse because you can't actually uninstall the crap14:17
snap-lmy favorite are the utilities that essentially break all human interface guidelines14:17
mydogsnameisrudyya i have a android with att thinking of leaving att14:17
snap-lit's like someone took an Adobe AIR app and made it core.14:17
Wolfgerspeaking of destroying Android... http://www.cnn.com/2011/11/22/tech/mobile/facebook-buffy-phone-report/index.html?hpt=hp_bn614:20

brouschthaumaturgy?19:20
snap-lI think you mean necromancer19:22
snap-lthaumaturgy is miracle working. :)19:22
brouschisn't bringing something back from the dead a miracle?19:23
brouschGod, the ultimate necromancer?19:24
snap-lnecromancy is generally regarded as the art of bringing back the dead for nefarious purposes19:24
snap-lNecromancy is a claimed form of magic that involves communication with the deceased, either by summoning their spirit in the form of an apparition or raising them bodily, for the purpose of divination, imparting the ability to foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge. The term may sometimes be used in a more general sense to refer to black magic or witchcraft.[1][2]19:25
snap-lI think there's a fine line between resurrection of the dead vs. necromancy19:25
WolfgerI think there's no line19:26
snap-lhttp://www.sjgames.com/gurps/books/abydos/19:26
snap-l"Abydos: The merest whisper of the name sends shivers down the spines of the God-fearing people of Yrth. What lurks in the forbidden city of Abydos is so great a heresy, the Church suppresses all mention of its very existence. But such loathing has no meaning for the shambling, silent bodies who roam the streets of Abydos. The undead are the greatest resource of the necromantic priests who practice19:27
snap-ltheir dark heresies in that city. Their beliefs and mandates are backed by the blades of highly trained soldiers and a very silent majority."19:27
snap-l"Warning! GURPS Banestorm: Abydos describes a culture wherein the living interact with the dead in ways that most readers would deem "intimate" and/or "disrespectful," and thus inappropriate. These elements may offend some readers. Please consider your gaming group's sensibilities before introducing this material into your campaign!"19:27
* Wolfger waits for somebody to point out the usage of defibrillators to bring people back to life...19:27
_stink_or medical cooling19:28
snap-lWolfger: That's regarded as life-saving, not bringing someone back from death19:28

snap-lI can't use a defibrillator to bring back Steve Jobs.19:29

* greg-g drowned as a kid to the point of not breathing/no heart beat.19:29
Wolfgerok, ok, so defibrillators can only bring back the mostly-dead.19:29
_stink_that's what i took away from a story on medical cooling... that we don't really have a good definition of death19:29
snap-lWere you declared dead to the point where they gave up all hope of resuscitation?19:29
_stink_greg-g is a zombie?19:29

Wolfgersnap-l: not true. I've had such conversations in meatspace19:32
