[01:17] <Unit193> It's a bit slick out there :P
[01:53] <paultag> Cheri703_: thanks for that link! :)
[01:54] <paultag> Cheri703_: http://github.com/paultag/python-charlie
[01:54] <paultag> Cheri703_: I just wrote a python lib to get T (our RTA) data
[02:03] <jrgifford> paultag: heck yeah!!
[02:10] <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
[02:11] <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)
[02:12] <paultag> oh no
[02:12] <paultag> google transit is pulling from a live stream thinger
[02:13] <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
[02:15] <paultag> p.s. - holy shit, the RTA is huge
[02:15] <paultag> http://www.riderta.com/pdf/maps/System_Map_Main.pdf
[02:16] <jrgifford> I wonder if @gcrta will answer a tweet asking about an API.
[02:17] <paultag> jrgifford: you should ask
[02:18] <jrgifford> done.
[02:19] <paultag> jrgifford: RT'd
[02:20] <jrgifford> you stalker. :P
[02:21] <jrgifford> paultag: http://code.google.com/p/googletransitdatafeed/wiki/PublicFeeds, http://www.riderta.com/gtfs/latest/
[02:22] <paultag> jrgifford: Ahhh, GTFS! That's it
[02:22] <paultag> it's timing out here, though
[02:24] <paultag> Ahh, got it
[02:24] <jrgifford> eek.
[02:24] <jrgifford> wish it was in json.
[02:24] <jrgifford> or even xml
[02:25] <paultag> jrgifford: it's CSV
[02:26] <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. :(
[02:27] <paultag> but you should still be able to get it working
[02:56] <paultag> jrgifford: got a tweet back :)
[02:57] <paultag> jrgifford: CC me if you email (use our @ubuntu emails, perhaps they'd like that)
[03:00] <Unit193> Hey paultag, saw your name in a debian topic over at OFTC :P
[03:01] <paultag> Unit193: oh crap, wait, what?
[03:01] <paultag> Unit193: which channel?
[03:01] <paultag> fuck, oh no
[03:01]  * Unit193 checks back
[03:02] <paultag> oh -expats
[03:02] <paultag> perhaps?
[03:04] <Unit193> Yeah, is that debian though?
[03:05] <paultag> ubuntu-expats
[03:06] <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
[03:07] <Unit193> Only Coldfront and Freenode
[03:08] <paultag> let me know if you find the channel :)
[03:10] <Unit193> I think that's it
[03:17] <paultag> kk :)
[03:17] <Unit193> What? I'm not OFTC or debian (yet), why do I have to remember? :P
[06:41] <Cheri703_> paultag: I thought of you since it was a. boston, and b. writing an app :)
[06:42] <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)
[12:00] <jrgifford> paultag: i'll prepare the email soonish. not today though, i'm busy all day. :)
[13:39] <paultag> jrgifford: ^5
[13:40] <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 :)
[18:04] <Cheri703> paultag: nice :) I hope you win!
[19:10] <paultag> Cheri703: :)
[19:12] <Cheri703> how are thing paultag?
[19:14] <paultag> Cheri703: things are great, thanks for asking
[19:14] <paultag> one second
[19:14] <Cheri703> that's good :)
[19:16] <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
[19:17] <Cheri703> I'm working, but I basically hate it, and it doesn't pay enough
[19:17] <paultag> lame :(
[19:25] <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
[19:26] <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. :)
[19:27] <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
[19:36] <paultag> :\
[23:25] <uriel19981> .... just checking to see if I migrated settings properly from xchat to pidgin.
