rick_h_brousch: hah00:59
greg-grick_h_! help! vim! In nano, when deleting a lot of text at the end of an email I held down ctrl+k, thus a line was deleted each time the keypress was repeated. In vim I have to do "dd" which means my delete time is doubled! There must be a faster way!06:22
rick_h_greg-g: yes, highlight the text you want to delete with line movement13:08
rick_h_greg-g: so v and then some movements to get the text, like j, or ctrl-f, or ), etc. And then just hit d once13:08
rick_h_and morning TGIF13:16
Wolfgergreg-g: I might also point out that "dd" is two keystrokes, and so is "ctrl+k" :-p13:24
rick_h_greg-g: there's also the . command, which repeats the last change you made13:25
Wolfgeralso, don't forget you can save time on multiple lines with number prefixes... e.g. 9dd to delete 9 lines13:26
rick_h_so you can dd and then . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .13:26
Wolfgerrick_h_: that is an awesome tip13:26
rick_h_Wolfger: yea, it's darn handy. It can group together a couple of changes so it's often easier to do a cwNewWord13:26
rick_h_and then head to the next place and do .13:27
rick_h_vs cwNewWord again13:27
Wolfgerbut will it still work if you move between lines? (i.e. dd, j, . will the dot repeat dd or j?)13:27
rick_h_the . doesn't really do movement I don't think. It's more of an "Action" thing13:27
rick_h_try it out some13:27
Wolfgeryessir13:27
rick_h_:) and with that I've punted it back to you to answer bwuhahaha, *evil friday laugh*13:28
Wolfgerso which of you freetards is using YaCy?13:30
Wolfgerhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-1593555013:31
WolfgerThey say it's pronounced "ya see", but I'm leaning towards Yahtzee!13:32
brouschpythonoids, do you keep your project right in the virtualenv, or do you put virtualenvs somewhere else and symlink the project into it?13:50
rick_h_brousch: I keep my project in a virtualenv13:51
rick_h_so ~/src/project_ve/src/project_code_in_git13:51
brouschme too, but i see some people do a symlink13:52
rick_h_brousch: sure13:52
brouschif i did that it would make my dropbox happier13:53
rick_h_ah, yea I don't dropbox source code13:53
rick_h_it could change system to system, break the venv, etc13:53
rick_h_if you symlink the venv, and install a new pip install pcakage13:53
rick_h_and dropbox sync's it to another machine13:53
rick_h_it'll break13:53
rick_h_that's what your source control is for, you have remote repos you're pushing to right?13:54
brouschright. it is basically useless backups to the cloud13:54
brouschsometimes13:54
brouschsometimes it is a crappy little script or something i'm trying out13:54
rick_h_well /sometimes/yes and take your code out of dropbox all together13:54
rick_h_brousch: then create a misc repo13:54
brouschlike when i tried snap-l's game. i gave a venv13:55
rick_h_and I'll bet those aren't in a virtualenv anyway then13:55
rick_h_right, but why did you need to back up snapl's game?13:55
brouschi didn't13:55
brouschi stuck it in with my code projects so i would know where to find it13:56
rick_h_ok, well anyway, I'd look at more why you're doing vs worrying about symlinks/virtualenv like that, but that's just my opinion13:56
brouschi think virtualenv wrapper does symlink13:56
brouschi don't use it though13:56
rick_h_yea, it keeps all the virtualenvs in .virtualenv so that it can list and complete which ones you have13:57
rick_h_but I hate that level if indirection and it only solves the issue for python stuff which not all code is13:57
brouschit should be!13:57
rick_h_lol13:57
brouschbut you're right i have no excuse for not having a bitbucket repo for all of my code13:58
brouschfree unlimited repos13:58
rick_h_:)13:58
brouschmore than 0.5GB of mostly virtualenv in my Dropbox/Projects14:00
rick_h_right, virtualenv is the answer to "give up disk space for more isolated projects14:01
rick_h_so to be expexted for sure14:01
rick_h_my answer to that is always, "make your @#$@# rebuildable and don't worry about keeping the virtualenvs, you can recreate those in a heartbeat (or a few at least)14:01
brouschmy method breaks more often than it's helpful14:02
WolfgerIt's sad... whenever somebody types something like "@#$@#" in channel, my mind automatically tries to parse it as Perl...14:03
brouschif i go to another computer i have to copy out the code, destroy the virtualenv, remake it, put the code back in, then do it all again because the bad one will sync to my main computer14:03
rick_h_Wolfger: yes...very sad. :P14:03
rick_h_brousch: exactly14:03
rick_h_so to summarize, in answer to your question...stop doing it wrong :P14:03
rick_h_now I feel helpful, yay friday14:04
brouschi'm glad i could be of service14:04
rick_h_it's been a rough week, I'll take every bit I can get14:04
brouschtrouble in canonicaland?14:05
rick_h_let's just say I'm not sure this week of travel has been worth the PITA and $$14:05
brouschi assume it's shuttleworth's money14:06
rick_h_not all of it, it costs me $$ to do things and provide beverages and such all week14:07
rick_h_and the babysitters, cleaners, etc I setup for the wife while away14:07
brouschthey don't expense caffeine?! i thought that was every 1337 coder's biggest perk14:08
brouschooh, home stuff can be bad14:08
rick_h_yea, dog is in day care all week since I'm not home to let her out, etc14:08
brouschdamn, that is expensive14:09
brouschlike $25/day for us14:09
rick_h_anyway, I'm getting to the end of the week and cranky14:09
rick_h_yea, same here, though Tues/Thurs are $2014:09
brouschprobably missing your boy too14:09
brouscha weekend is hard enough14:09
rick_h_fly out tomorrow, all good14:10
brouschi have placed a giant weather widget on my desktop. my conversion to kde is complete14:13
Wolfger\o/14:16
jjesseyay14:38
jjesserick_h_,  you can't fly out today?14:38
rick_h_jjesse: naw, should have thought about it when I set it up14:39
jjesseits corporate policy to get consultants back on friday14:39
rick_h_but I think there's some policy on arriving/leaving weekends since that tends to keep ticket prices lower or something14:39
rick_h_I think probably because they'd have to comp or something your travel time on a weekend?14:40
jjessemight be different when you are billing customers14:40
jjesseyeah14:40
jjesseplus most of the time they are heading right back out14:40
jjessethere are times i spend weekend if its multiple weeks in same spot but otherwise its out sunday night, back friday night14:41
rick_h_gotcha14:41
jjessei hate it when on friday i don't know where i'm going to be on monday… customer told me he needed me onsite on monday but haven't had official confirmation :(  time to punch him14:55
Wolfgerindeed14:57
brouschkde is snappier than gnome-shell and unity15:11
brouschoh wow, nice. kde stores all of my notifications so i can go back through them if i missed something15:14
snap-lGood morning15:22
snap-lDownloading the precise images via bittoreent.15:23
snap-lNot to be confused with Bit torrent15:23
Wolfgeryou're not satisfied with imprecise images?15:31
snap-lnope15:33
snap-lI want 12.04 to be as precise as a pangolin15:34
snap-lWhatever that means.15:34
snap-lalso, finally picked up The Sword's Warp Riders15:35
snap-lbrousch: You're a Sabbath fan, right?15:35
brouschonly with ozzy15:42
brouschdio is way too irritating15:42
snap-lWell, check this out anyway.15:42
snap-lDio is definitely an acquired taste15:42
snap-las is Ozzy, to a certain extent. :)15:42
brouschtrudat15:43
brouschand actually i only like ozzy with sabbath, not afterwards15:43
snap-lhttp://ur1.ca/6amt7 <- The Sword15:43
brouschbill ward is probably my favorite drummer15:45
snap-lNot sure I'd go that far, by a long shot15:45
snap-lLike saying that Ringo Starr is your favorite drummer15:46
snap-lhe just happens to be strongly associated with an act that you like, and fits it like a glove15:46
brousch:P15:46
brouschthat is likely15:46
snap-lthough I have a ton more respect for Charlie Watts outside of the Rolling Stones chair15:46
WolfgerAnimal is my favorite drummer15:47
snap-lAlso got clocking the fuck out of Mick Jagger15:47
brouschthe sword is kind of sabbath-like15:48
snap-lYeah, that's why I recommended them15:48
snap-lhttp://paste.mitechie.com/raw/457/ <- Charlie Watts15:49
brouschi don't really care for the singer, but the chronomancers sound good15:51
snap-lYeah, the singer is an acquired taste15:52
greg-gWolfger: ctrl+k is not two keystrokes *on going* I hold down ctrl+K and each time the K is repeated by my keyboard it deletes a line, where as every second time the d is repeated by my keyboard (while being held down) vim deleted a line.17:07
Wolfger:-p17:08
rick_h_get em greg-g17:08
greg-g:)17:09
greg-gg'morning17:09
greg-gwell, afternoon for you all17:09
greg-gaha, I like the v and the line movements method!17:09
* greg-g hadn't used visual mode yet :)17:10
rick_h_greg-g: http://lococast.net/archives/24117:10
rick_h_:)17:10
greg-ghaha17:10
Wolfgersad... by the time greg-g gets here I'm already done with lunch and thinking about quitting time17:10
rick_h_greg-g: worth the 10min17:10
greg-gWolfger: you should move to the west side, or just blame timezones, or the fact that world is round, or....17:10
Wolfger...or just continue to think of you as a lazy slacker who doesn't get rolling til after noon? ;-)17:11
greg-gsure, whatever blows up your skirt17:12
* Wolfger wonders if that's part of the California mystique17:13
greg-g:) I've actually been saying that instead of "float your boat" for going on 15 years17:13
greg-gholy cow, that's half my life (practically)17:13
WolfgerI meant the perception that you guys sleep til noon17:13
greg-goh17:13
greg-gwell, yeah, definitley not all of SF/bay area, just the college kids, like all college kids.17:14
greg-gactually quite the workaholic attitude out here, for better or worse17:14
greg-g(probably worse)17:15
Wolfgeralmost certainly17:15
greg-g(see the jwz's critique of some VC using his words about startups)17:15

greg-gWolfger: I see you like the WastinTime aspect ;)17:41
Wolfgergreg-g: after finally getting the updates from the vendor that I've been asking for, for a month, and finding everything is still just as fubar as before the updates.... yeah. Kinda lost enthusiasm for attempting to be productive.17:45
greg-gWolfger: ugh, sorry :(17:46
WolfgerKinda feeling like ripping somebody's head off, but lacking the energy to go do so. "It took you a month to give me something that doesn't work AT ALL?!?"17:50
CrusaderADAnyone here use Glade or any other GUI development software?18:16
brouschi have used glade once or twice18:20
CrusaderADAny other recommendations for a GUI platform?18:22
brouschno one makes desktop guis any more18:23
brouschbut qt is the other big one18:23
CrusaderADcool, I'll check that out... thanks18:25
brouschit was interesting at the gr dev day (former day of dotnet, so mostly MS devs) the keynote asked how many people were making desktop apps. only about 10% of the crowd raised their hand18:27
brouschrick_h_: you can transfer departments and work with django! https://tbe.taleo.net/NA3/ats/careers/requisition.jsp?org=CANONICAL&cws=1&rid=40118:28
CrusaderADbrousch: what's all the rage now? mobile/tablet development?18:32
brouschweb18:32
CrusaderADlol thank god18:33
brouschthere's a lot of interest in mobile too18:33
