Wolfgeroooh-hoo, rumor has it...13:06
Wolfger</music>13:06
snap-lGood morning13:17
WolfgerThat snap-l always has to go a step too far and prepend "good" to it....13:32
snap-lWolfger: Yep, I'm a rebel13:32
rick_h_I thought we had to leave "good" off on Monday's on principle alone13:33
rick_h_ooh, except we have to congrats greg-g!13:33
rick_h_greg-g: pro tip...let them take the little guy to the nursery at night. We didn't take them up on it and ugh13:34
WolfgerOh, the baby was born? Congrats, greg-g13:35
Wolfgerand snap-l's Amiga was reborn?13:35
snap-lWolfger: Uh, no13:36
Wolfger...and snap-l didn't realize "America" was a Simon and Garfunkel tune? For shame.13:36
snap-lWolfger: I didn't relize that the Yes version was a cover.13:37
snap-lhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EReWi009IL413:37
Wolfgersnap-l: No on the amiga? I just saw that you told jrwren you got it working.13:38
Wolfgerok, enough scrollback. Need to live in the present.13:38
snap-lWolfger: It was in working condition13:38
snap-lI "plugged it in"13:38
Wolfger"I got the amiga running" implies a bit more that the ability to use a plug socket :-p13:39
snap-lWolfger: Perhaps13:40
snap-lhttp://jalopnik.com/5866981/10-wheel-custom-buick-must-be-seen-to-be-believed/gallery/113:44
snap-lI shall buy this car and dub it "Gentoo"13:45
Wolfger++13:45
Wolfgerbut, uh... if that's a buick, why does it have a Dodge grill?13:46
Wolfgerand a back end reminiscent of an El Camino?13:46
WolfgerThey're really stretching the definition of "Buick" here...13:47
snap-lWolfger: That's not all they're stretching the definition of13:47
snap-lThat many axles I believe is licensed as a commercial truck in Michigan.13:47
WolfgerOK, now that I RTFA I see they've already addressed my concerns. :-p13:48
dzhodon't you hate it when that happens?13:48
dzhonothing ruins a good grump like people addressing concerns13:49
WolfgerYeah, I would hate to pay the bridge/tunnel toll on that many axels13:49
snap-lWolfger: I asked the same question13:49
Wolfgeror the toll roads in ohio for that matter13:49
snap-lAlso, I don't think you could drive it in anything other than a straight line13:49
snap-lnot witout tearing the back tires to shreds.13:50
WolfgerI wonder how many axles are powered13:51
rick_h_front wheel drive13:51
rick_h_sounds like ... 113:51
WolfgerI love German... The word for "internet user" is Internetnutzer13:58
Wolfgerwhich is entirely too appropriate13:58
snap-lGerman: The Reeses Peanut Butter cup language14:00
snap-lor the Red Green Duck Tape language, take your pick14:00
Wolfgershut up, nutzer. :-)14:00

Wolfgerthat doesn't quite translate14:01
rick_h_http://functionsource.com/post/mugeda-drawing-shapes-in-the-cloud in reference to what it'll take to eventually replace flash14:13
rick_h_sorry, in reference to the point I've made a number of times during death of flash discussions14:14
Wolfgerfunctionsource-- for having a website that refuses to display anything until you allow scripts to run14:24
Wolfger<headdesk> http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/124533/will-it-hurt-my-reputation-if-i-dont-deliver-what-im-expected-to14:34
WolfgerA: "What do *you* think?"14:34
snap-lprogrammers.se, where every question can be honestly answered by "What do you think?"14:46
WolfgerHeh. Not every question, but a lot of them.14:49
snap-lYeah, there's a few that are honest-to-god cud-chewers.14:49
WolfgerBut whenever I find a question that I feel is a good question on there, I have the impulse to migrate it to Stack Overflow....14:49
snap-lBut most of them are essentially procrastination.14:50
Wolfgerreason: "this is a good question, so doesn't belong here"14:50
snap-lrick_h_: That Mugeda is pretty interesting14:55
snap-lrick_h_: Did you bring up the tool?14:55
rick_h_yea, not quite replacement for adobe flash editor, but that's what's going to be needed to kill off flash14:56
rick_h_tools14:56
snap-lOh, absolutely.14:56
snap-lWe have the wood, and the idea of what we want to build, now it's time to get the right tools.14:57
Wolfgeroh geez, here we go with the woodworking metaphor.... ;-)15:15
snap-lhttp://ebb.org/bkuhn/blog/2011/11/24/google-plus.html <- Just one question, and one question only...15:16
snap-l... so, do you use a telephone? :)15:16
snap-lI mean, you don't "own" the infrastructure15:16
snap-land they use proprietary codecs15:16
Wolfgermy freetardation senses are tingling...15:18
snap-lI think I'm going to write a parody post.15:20
krondorHell, do you use the internet?  How many of those routers are using proprietary protocols between nodes/satellites (I'm looking at you cisco).15:20
WolfgerAlthough now I wonder if RMS uses a telephone... It wouldn't surprise me too much if he didn't...15:30
ColonelPanic001heh, you know, I wouldn't be surprised too much either15:32

snap-lNot saying people can't do it, but seems these sorts of cattle calls just end up with people who think development is just pressing keys on a keyboard.21:43
ColonelPanic001I do push a lot of buttons on the keyboard21:44
snap-lColonelPanic001: Right, but do you think that's the extent of development?21:45
snap-ln21:45
ColonelPanic001I just use my forehead, man. I see what sticks, and commit.21:46
ColonelPanic001it's not a very quick method, but I assure you, it's kind of fun.21:46
