| Unit193 | It's a bit slick out there :P | 01:17 |

| paultag | Cheri703_: thanks for that link! :) | 01:53 |
| paultag | Cheri703_: http://github.com/paultag/python-charlie | 01:54 |
| paultag | Cheri703_: I just wrote a python lib to get T (our RTA) data | 01:54 |
| jrgifford | paultag: heck yeah!! | 02:03 |
| jrgifford | wonder how difficult it'd be to make something like that for RTA... | 02:10 |
| paultag | jrgifford: heyya :) | 02:10 |
| paultag | jrgifford: I have no idea :) | 02:10 |
| paultag | but it's nice, I can get where every single train is, and their RTA | 02:10 |
| paultag | erm, ETA | 02:10 |
| jrgifford | well, rta uses google transit. | 02:11 |
| jrgifford | so in theory i could scrape google transit. | 02:11 |
| jrgifford | (if they have an API) | 02:11 |
| paultag | oh no | 02:12 |
| paultag | google transit is pulling from a live stream thinger | 02:12 |
| jrgifford | ? | 02:13 |
| paultag | you mean to say google transit is using rta's live stream :) | 02:13 |
| paultag | google can't magic that data from every city in the US :) | 02:13 |
| paultag | it's also a standard format, I seem to recall | 02:13 |
| paultag | it's not what the MBTA uses, but it's a standard | 02:13 |
| paultag | p.s. - holy shit, the RTA is huge | 02:15 |
| paultag | http://www.riderta.com/pdf/maps/System_Map_Main.pdf | 02:15 |
| jrgifford | I wonder if @gcrta will answer a tweet asking about an API. | 02:16 |
| paultag | jrgifford: you should ask | 02:17 |
| jrgifford | done. | 02:18 |
| paultag | jrgifford: RT'd | 02:19 |
| jrgifford | you stalker. :P | 02:20 |
| jrgifford | paultag: http://code.google.com/p/googletransitdatafeed/wiki/PublicFeeds, http://www.riderta.com/gtfs/latest/ | 02:21 |
| paultag | jrgifford: Ahhh, GTFS! That's it | 02:22 |
| paultag | it's timing out here, though | 02:22 |
| paultag | Ahh, got it | 02:24 |
| jrgifford | eek. | 02:24 |
| jrgifford | wish it was in json. | 02:24 |
| jrgifford | or even xml | 02:24 |
| paultag | jrgifford: it's CSV | 02:25 |
| jrgifford | oh ok. there are some half-decent ruby libs for that. :) | 02:26 |
| paultag | jrgifford: it's still not realtime, though | 02:26 |
| jrgifford | paultag: thats true. :( | 02:26 |
| paultag | but you should still be able to get it working | 02:27 |
| paultag | jrgifford: got a tweet back :) | 02:56 |
| paultag | jrgifford: CC me if you email (use our @ubuntu emails, perhaps they'd like that) | 02:57 |
| Unit193 | Hey paultag, saw your name in a debian topic over at OFTC :P | 03:00 |
| paultag | Unit193: oh crap, wait, what? | 03:01 |
| paultag | Unit193: which channel? | 03:01 |
| paultag | fuck, oh no | 03:01 |
| * Unit193 checks back | 03:01 | |
| paultag | oh -expats | 03:02 |
| paultag | perhaps? | 03:02 |
| Unit193 | Yeah, is that debian though? | 03:04 |
| paultag | ubuntu-expats | 03:05 |
| paultag | it's not really debian, and I only set the topic | 03:06 |
| paultag | if it was something else, I'd like to know :) | 03:06 |
| Unit193 | I'm not on OFTC, just checking out netsplit.de | 03:06 |
| Unit193 | Only Coldfront and Freenode | 03:07 |
| paultag | let me know if you find the channel :) | 03:08 |
| Unit193 | I think that's it | 03:10 |
| paultag | kk :) | 03:17 |
| Unit193 | What? I'm not OFTC or debian (yet), why do I have to remember? :P | 03:17 |
| Cheri703_ | paultag: I thought of you since it was a. boston, and b. writing an app :) | 06:41 |
| Cheri703_ | the google public transit is actually quite an ordeal to set up the data in a way it can recognize | 06:42 |
| Cheri703_ | (I looked into it for our local transit) | 06:42 |
| === Cheri703_ is now known as Cheri703 | ||
| jrgifford | paultag: i'll prepare the email soonish. not today though, i'm busy all day. :) | 12:00 |
| paultag | jrgifford: ^5 | 13:39 |
| paultag | Cheri703: yeah, totally! :) | 13:40 |
| paultag | Cheri703: well I already wrote a python lib for subway data, so it'd not be a big step to hack something up :) | 13:40 |
| === canthus14 is now known as canthus13 | ||
| Cheri703 | paultag: nice :) I hope you win! | 18:04 |
| paultag | Cheri703: :) | 19:10 |
| Cheri703 | how are thing paultag? | 19:12 |
| paultag | Cheri703: things are great, thanks for asking | 19:14 |
| paultag | one second | 19:14 |
| Cheri703 | that's good :) | 19:14 |
| paultag | back :) | 19:16 |
| paultag | Cheri703: my new job is flipping awesome | 19:16 |
| paultag | Cheri703: what about you? | 19:16 |
| Cheri703 | very cool, I'm looking for something other than what I have | 19:16 |
| Cheri703 | I'm working, but I basically hate it, and it doesn't pay enough | 19:17 |
| paultag | lame :( | 19:17 |
| canthus13 | Cheri703: pays better than not working. :P | 19:25 |
| Cheri703 | true, but....still | 19:25 |
| * canthus13 nods. | 19:25 | |
| Cheri703 | STILL waiting to hear about that one job, strongly considering applying for one in portland | 19:25 |
| canthus13 | Cheri703: How much are they paying, if you don't mind me asking? | 19:26 |
| Cheri703 | $9.25/hour to deal with idiots all day | 19:26 |
| canthus13 | Cheri703: Ew. come work here, get paid 14.05/hr to start to deal with idiots all day. :) | 19:26 |
| Cheri703 | hehe, that does sound more appealing >.> /me will contemplate, but if I am doing a relocation, I'd probably want to be moving in the direction I'd eventually like to go, vs a more lateral move | 19:27 |
| * canthus13 nods. | 19:27 | |
| Cheri703 | (the place I'm waiting on is more the direction I'm interested in) | 19:27 |
| Cheri703 | ok, so...now I have to get ready to go :/ am going in an hour early for overtime today, and need to grab some lunch on the way | 19:27 |
| paultag | :\ | 19:36 |
| uriel19981 | .... just checking to see if I migrated settings properly from xchat to pidgin. | 23:25 |
