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