[06:25] <YoBoY> bonjour
[08:00] <dholbach> good morning
[08:07] <czajkowski> aloha 
[15:24] <paultag> ohai
[15:25] <mhall119> morning
[15:25] <paultag> moin
[15:25] <mhall119> wiki
[15:25] <mhall119> how's the new gig paultag ?
[15:26] <paultag> mhall119: as I said about a minute ago:
[15:26] <paultag> 15:25 <paultag> dude
[15:26] <paultag> 15:25 <paultag> awesome
[15:26] <paultag> 15:25 <paultag> ungodly
[15:26] <paultag> 15:25 <paultag> this is such an awesome gig
[15:26] <mhall119> so, it's okay then?
[15:26] <paultag> mhall119: it's crazy awersome
[15:27] <paultag> I have yet to feel like I'm at work
[15:27] <mhall119> those are the best kind :)
[15:27] <mhall119> whatcha workin on? 
[15:28] <paultag> mhall119: right now, some scrapers to import CO's bill + vote data
[15:28] <paultag> I just finished that last night, so I might do people today
[15:30] <mhall119> ew, scrapers
[15:32] <paultag> yeah I know
[15:32] <paultag> but it's for global good
[15:32] <paultag> mhall119: we scrape the data into our backend + open API, so we are the only ones who have to do it
[15:32] <paultag> since states won't provide this over an API themselves
[15:34] <mhall119> that's cool
[15:34] <mhall119> it's a shame that governments don't automatically make it available like that
[15:34] <paultag> yeah totally
[15:34] <mhall119> did you see that NY I think it was has an open-source redistricting program?
[15:35] <paultag> mhall119: yeah, they also have some cool data on how names change over time from the census
[15:35] <mhall119> Florida has one available to us to make our own district maps, but it's not open source, and it's horribly ugly
[15:35] <paultag> mhall119: NY has some fairly cool stuff, actually
[15:35] <paultag> they were open to adopting our API standard for bill data
[15:35] <paultag> which would be *awesome*
