snap-lCan anyone riddle me why fastcgi under Ubuntu doesn't come with an init script?01:45
rick_h_droidheh02:06
rick_h_droidI've got a setup for it if you need02:06
snap-lThanks. I found one on the internets.02:06
snap-lbut it's curious why that's not default02:06
snap-lor at least "hey, if you want this to run, here's a handy default"02:06
rick_h_droidyea not sure02:07
snap-lYay, converted my site over to ngnx02:40

WolfgerMorning. Possibly even good.12:44
rick_h__party12:48
snap-lParty party.13:49
snap-lHow's the morning so far?13:49
rick_h__good stuff, day off so hacking at the coffee shop for a bit13:51
snap-lrick_h__: Bet you need some time off. :)13:54
rick_h__yea, no kidding13:55
rick_h__I did such a happy dance when someone said we were off13:55
rick_h__going to stay away from the computer all afternoon and try to cool off a bit13:55
tjagodaPlenty cold outside for the cooling off today13:57
snap-lI <3 Ubuntu13:58
tjagodaIt crashed, right?13:58
tjagodaI usually say that after a crash. =(13:58
snap-ltyped "pdfgrep" to see if there's a way to gre PDF files13:58
snap-land there's a command for it13:58
tjagodaI have experienced substantially less crash since I moved to KDE13:59
tjagodaMy random hardlocks disappeared.13:59
brouschtjagoda: kubuntu is the future13:59
tjagoda+114:00
tjagodaThe only annoyance I have is that I cannot map the super key to bring up the launcher menu14:00
mydogsnameisrudymorning to ya14:00
tjagodaapparently QT framework restrictions in KDE's implementation prevent single key shortcuts14:01
tjagodaBrousch: also, is your update manager GUI kind of buggy?14:02
brouschtjagoda: i mapped super+space14:02
tjagodaI started using command line apt because the GUI kept getting in the way.14:02
brouschi have always used command line apt. the gui was so slow compared to command line that i never switched14:03
snap-lI <3 ALU14:03
snap-l(and this is my ranty love)14:03
brouschwhat is ALU?14:03
snap-l$LASTJOB14:03
brouschut oh. the new job makes the old job look like paradise?14:04
snap-ltried an e-mail address for HR to sort out some paycheck information14:04
snap-lit bounced14:04
snap-lthat's because it's not HRServiceCenter, it's HRServiceCtr14:04
snap-lThankfully I save lots of stuff, otherwise I'd have no clue what it is14:05
brouschheh14:06
brouschi'm back on the dell today. i couldn't get an external monitor working on the macbook under ubuntu14:10
snap-lSorry to hear that14:17
brouschoh well, that just means i need to sell it and buy a pc14:18
brouschone of those sexy little thinkpads like you guys have14:21
snap-lHeh14:29
rick_h__brousch: !!!14:29
brousch???14:29
rick_h__on geting a TP14:30
rick_h__never been so proud :)14:30
brouschoh come on, i had a t21 and a t30 before this dell14:30
snap-lHey!14:30
snap-lI thought it was a big deal wnen I got a Thinkpad. ;)14:31
rick_h__it was14:31
brouschnow we know who the favorite padawan is14:31
rick_h__next up is the other mac happy fanboi14:31
snap-lbah14:31
snap-lshould have gone last14:31
rick_h__hah, jealousy leads to hate, hate leads to mac land14:31
snap-lwould get more of the prodigal son treatment14:31
* snap-l brings up shop.apple.com14:31
rick_h__naw, you still win because you don't use django14:32
snap-lAbout that...14:32
snap-l;)14:32
rick_h__hah, if you get john to use django I'll come down to that office and help you pack :P14:33
brouschoh man, convert all of rick_h__'s morpace code to django. that would be epic14:33
WolfgerMakes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside to see so many loco-ites using KDE now. :-)14:34
brouschWolfger: i would be totally satisfied with it if only i could get this ram issue under control14:35
Wolfgerstop using gtk apps and see what your memory looks like :-)14:36
Wolfgersince coming back on a fresh 11.10 install of Kubuntu, I've been using only Qt apps (including rekonq, which is nice when it isn't crashing, which is too often), and I'm shocked at how little memory is used.14:37
snap-lgrrr....14:37
snap-lI'm very irritated at ALU right now14:38
snap-lI'm under the impression I'm supposed to be getting a "last check"14:38
brouschWolfger: i cannot replace chrome with reconk14:38
snap-lsent a note to the HR desk14:38
snap-land they sent me a canned "ADP handles our payroll. Ask them"14:38
brouschthat's like replacing a macbook pro with a dell latitude14:38
Wolfgerbrousch: Which "can't"; technically incapable, or stubbornly unwilling?14:39
brouschi cannot live without chrome. all of my google is in it14:39
WolfgerThat's the nice thing about Google...14:40
WolfgerIt lives in any browser on any computer14:40
snap-lmostly.14:40
snap-lI've had some trouble with sync14:41
brouschbut my bookie!14:41
Wolfgersnap-l: sync?14:41
snap-lWolfger: Yes, Chrome has sync so you can sync themes, bookmarks, and plugins14:42
Wolfgerbrousch: get coding on a bookie plug-in for rekonq :-D14:42
snap-lexcept it seems to get a little borked14:42
Wolfgersnap-l: Chrome most definitely only works in Chrome, not "any browser". :-p14:42
brouschmy reqonk has adblock built-in14:43
brouschor it snagged it from my chrome14:43
snap-lWolfger: This is just with Chrome14:43
brouschdang, it doesn't have import bookmarks from chrome14:44
Wolfgersnap-l: OK. I was confused. Thought you were commenting on my "google lives in any browser on any computer" comment14:44
snap-lno14:44
snap-lI'm not normally confused14:44
Wolfger<-- normally confused14:44
snap-lwe know. ;)14:44
Wolfgerthat's why I try to stay abnormal14:45
rick_h__bookie is going to be pretty sweet soon14:49
rick_h__get on the bookie train14:49
brouschrekonq is retarded14:49
brouschit is showing me page source instead of the page14:49
rick_h__lol14:50
Wolfgerfor what page?14:50
* Wolfger considers getting on the bookie train14:51
rick_h__man, firebug doesn't have a console in the script debugger14:51
rick_h__boooo!14:51
brouschthere it goes14:52
brouschWolfger: for gmail14:52
WolfgerHuh. Never had a problem with Gmail.14:52
Blazeixrick_h__: but i think the console tab's context is wherever you are in the debugger14:53
Blazeixat least it used to be14:53
Wolfgerbrousch: must be your Dell... XD14:53
rick_h__Blazeix: yea, but I have to look back/forth across the tabs in order to work with it14:53
rick_h__basically hitting the debugger in order to check current values/etc aheda of call14:53
brouschWolfger: some cookie error came up, then i refreshed a dozen times and it started working14:54
Blazeixyeah, you can always put watches, but it isn't as nice as a console14:54
rick_h__Blazeix: yea, all good. I know part of it is what I'm used to14:55
rick_h__but I do think it's cleaner in webkit tools vs firebug14:55
rick_h__bah, and now it's hanging...damn FF14:57
rick_h__nice, now it's working yay14:58
Blazeixwebkit's tools are getting there, but there are still some painful things14:59
rick_h__yea?14:59
Blazeixthe context menu was useless for the longest time14:59
rick_h__which context menu?14:59
Blazeixall of them :)15:00
rick_h__lol15:00
Blazeixthey used just allow you to 'inspect current element' which would bring you into the webkit debugger's internal code15:00
Blazeixin the last few months they removed that and gave decent options15:00
rick_h__you'll have to show me what you mean15:01
Blazeixbut there are still areas with no options, like in the 'css' area of the Elements section15:01
rick_h__ah, ok15:01
rick_h__what does FF have there that you like?15:01
Blazeixclick on the css column in the HTML tab, compared to the same area in webkitdebugger15:02
BlazeixFF has options, webkit doesn't15:02
rick_h__ah, ok15:02
Blazeixin order to work in webkit you have to use these tiny little glyph icons15:02
rick_h__heh, I don't even use that15:03
rick_h__double click to edit/add new and there's the checkbox to disable15:03
Blazeixyeah, for existing style rules that's fine15:03
rick_h__cool though, yea I should go back and compare more I've been so chrome only for so long15:03
snap-lI've been using Firefox over here, and I'm finding it still pretty slow15:04
Blazeixi'm also a fan of the DOM tab in firebug15:04
rick_h__ugh, I hate even looking at the dom stuff. So much crap to parse through.15:04
Blazeixthough webkitdebugger's console has some things that compare to it, now15:04
snap-lbut I think that's because it wants to render the whole page, whereas Chrome renders it as it goes15:04
rick_h__snap-l: yea, but that's up to the web page15:05
snap-leh?15:06
rick_h__I got to have a big discussion on that since the rework we've done on launchpad dens't always save a ton of load time on the page (total time until load event is fired)15:06
rick_h__but it moved the domready event up over a second15:06
rick_h__domready == you see stuff on the page15:06
rick_h__so both firefox and chrome have rules for that stuff (blocking js, css parsing, etc)15:06
snap-lhm, wonder if there's something in tracks15:06
snap-lsince that's where I notice it most.15:06
rick_h__so if chrome feels faster it's not necessarily that one browser starts showing things sooner vs the other, but that it's done the work faster. So might be differences in caching, etc15:07
rick_h__run the net panel on both chrome and FF15:07
rick_h__they both drop markers down the view for the domready and load events15:07
rick_h__so you can compare the ms it takes to get to each marker in each browser to get a feel for it15:07
Blazeixoh, actually, firebug does have a console on the script tab for me.15:08
Blazeixjust a simple REPL15:08
rick_h__yea?15:08
Blazeixyeah, at the very bottom there are three blue '>', I didn't see them at first15:08
rick_h__Blazeix: on 1.9?15:08
Blazeixah, click the icon on the top bar that looks like the 'justify text' icon15:09
Blazeixspeaking of unclear glyphs15:09
rick_h__ah, sweet15:09
rick_h__Blazeix gets the gold star for today! :)15:09
rick_h__I also like the chrome way of the console moving down thepage vs docked at the bottom15:10
rick_h__but good stuff, this will help15:10
rick_h__jcastro_ smoser thinking of doing a charm school thing at the long CHC end of the month. smoser interested in helping out? jcastro_ is there material for this stuff I can bootstrap with?15:13
snap-lrick_h__: Yes, please.15:15
snap-lrick_h__: I want to be a master of Cloud City like Jorge Calrissian: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9058804/jorge_calrissian.jpg15:16
rick_h__hah15:17
Wolfgercharm school?15:18
rick_h__https://juju.ubuntu.com/CharmSchool15:19
WolfgerI'm still feeling lost... Hoping I didn't miss something obvious on that page, but: Charm School is about juju and writing charms? WTF is juju or charms, and why should I be interested in them?15:25
brouschWolfger++15:26
rick_h__ever look at puppet or chef?15:26
rick_h__it's the ubuntu way of deploying/managing servers/services in the cloud15:26
rick_h__so the idea would be I could build charms that enable you to deploy an instance of bookie to ec2 as easy as apt-get install bookie15:26
brouschnice15:27
rick_h__but I need to figure out how to write charms/do allthis15:27
rick_h__and figured if I need to learn, might as well sucker smoser into helping and make it a more class-like thing15:27
WolfgerOK, getting clearer. Heard of puppet, but not chef. Didn't really get what puppet was about, either. Maybe I should show up and learn something :-p15:28
Wolfger+1 on suckering smoser15:28
brouschit's the cloud!15:28
rick_h__http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdgsrBCWFis15:28
rick_h__haven't seen that yet, but bet it's useful to some extent15:29
WolfgerWill watch later. Video sites are blocked by our wretched firewall.15:29
brouschreqonk is not fit for use15:29
rick_h__lol15:30
brouschrandomly gives me page source instead of the page, offers to dowload the page for me instead of rendering it15:30
WolfgerHuh. I have not seen that issue.15:32
WolfgerKind of bizarre.15:32
brouschhttp://dl.dropbox.com/u/101667/snapshot12.png15:33
brouschi have to close the tab then reopen the page to fix it15:35
brouschthe bookie bookmarklet works in reqonk15:38
rick_h__brousch: awesome!15:38
brouschwhy i love ubuntu: sudo apt-get install python2.5 python2.6 python2.7 python3.1 python3.2 python-distribute-deadsnakes python2.5-dev python2.6-dev python2.7-dev python3.1-dev python3.2-dev15:44
brouschthat would take a day to do in windows15:44
Wolfger:-)15:48
tjagodaThats a lot of compatibility testing?17:01
brouschwell different places i deploy have different python versions, so i need most of them17:11
brouschdreamhost: py2.5, google app engine: py2.7, work servers: py2.7 and py3.217:11
snap-lbrousch: Is this all internal?17:12
snap-lye gads17:12
brouschgenerally i only need one version for each project, so it's not a big deal17:13
brouschnot like i have to ensure the same project runs all those versions17:13
WolfgerSFBC keeps sending me "come back" e-mails. I think I will write them a polite letter informing them that I'm a Kindle owner now and will never again have the desire to collect more dead trees than I already own, so please stop e-mailing me until they are at least current with technology (should anything Sci-Fi related be on the cutting edge?)17:19
Wolfgers/should/shouldn't/17:19
* Wolfger considers pinging rick_h__ to see if he's sticking to his pledge to stay away from the computer all afternoon... :-)17:22
rick_h__lol, I just sat down to share pics, sec17:22
rick_h__greg-g: https://plus.google.com/116120911388966791792/posts/abf8ydEiYiK17:22
rick_h__now I need some shoes!17:23
tjagodaRick_H has an MLK day vacation?17:27
tjagodaThis guy works bankers hours!17:27
snap-lrick_h__: Awesome. :)17:31
WolfgerMy MLK day is an unpaid holiday, so I elected to come in and work. Nice, peaceful, quiet.17:33
rick_h__ok, so now I either go to the gym, or bundle up and try to do a ride with the bike17:35
rick_h__hmmmm...snow on the ground...but but but17:35
tjagodaI need to learn some Ninja coding skills so that I can get these interesting work from home jobs.17:36
rick_h__I'll send you my amazon/oreilly book list and give you a head start saving you some time finding the right ones :)17:37
Wolfgerrick_h__: fresh air ftw17:37
rick_h__Wolfger: yea, I did a quick spin around the block and getting tempted to just try to ride and if I get wet...well I'm going to show anyway17:38
rick_h__heh, and then he runs away17:38
tjagodarich_h: thats trevor.jagoda@gmail.com =(17:42
greg-grick_h__: awesome! :)18:09
rick_h__wow, ok that was a brisk ride18:41
snap-lI think I just figured out why $LASTJOB was suck a clusterbleep18:57
snap-lApparently I have to call ADP to sort out anything with PAyrool18:58
snap-lPayroll, even18:58
brouschwhat's wrong with my web site?18:58
brouschhttp://www.clusterbleep.net18:58
snap-lEven the HR helpdesk can't do anything until I contact them18:58
rick_h__brousch: ?19:02
brouschsnap-l: mentioned clusterbleep19:04
rick_h__ah, gotcha19:04
krondorbrousch:  you mean the redirect to /blog?19:06
brouschno, i was just being a dork19:07
snap-land I was ignoring him. :)19:18
snap-lThanks for not doing likewise. ;)19:18
WolfgerI was going to toss snap-l a s/suck/such/ but then I decided that "suck a clusterbleep" is probably just fine.19:18
WolfgerKind of like "suck and elf".19:20
Wolfgerugh. "suck an elf" I mean19:20
WolfgerI hate it when I'm picking on somebody else's typos, and then I screw up myself. :-p19:21
brouschWolfger: is there something like gvim for kde?19:22
brouschi don't see kvim19:22
WolfgerIt's called "open Konsole and run vim you lazy bastard"19:23
WolfgerI have no idea, actually. I don't even run gvim or any other front end for vim19:23
brouschok19:24
snap-lbrousch: I'd ask why you're having trouble running just gvim19:25
brouschtrying to avoid gtk19:26
Wolfgersnap-l: death to gtk19:26
snap-lGood luck with that19:26
brouschi'll just run pydev as usual19:26
brouschit's about as light as gvim19:27
snap-lYou'll come to a point when you'll have to run gtk+19:27
Wolfgerbrousch: I actually like to use the yakuake terminal, keep vim or whatever I'm doing in the console open there.19:27
snap-lMuch like any audio editing tool I run requires either WX or QT19:27
brouschi'm sorry. i don't use programs whose name i cannot pronounce19:27
Wolfgeryou can't pronounce "yah-quake"?19:28
snap-lNot without thinking NC-17 thoughts19:28
brouschchoqok is right out19:28
Wolfgeryakuake is "yet another quake terminal", spelling quake with a K, of course...19:29
snap-lKDE: the "hope you have Safe Search Enabled" Operating Environment19:29
Wolfgerbecause a KDE app that doesn't begin with K is blasphemy to some people :-p :-P :-p19:29
snap-lWolfger: Have fun with kut and paste19:30
brouschwatching jjesse try to pronounce choqok was the highlight of WMLUG in 200919:30
Wolfgerchoke-ok19:30
jjesseit was epic wasn't it :)19:30
snap-lcho-kok19:50
brouschdon't make me get the soap19:51
brouschWolfger: for me reqonk was running about 200-400MB lighter than Chrome, but i had to kill it because it locked up. i think it was flash that was the lockup problem20:39
snap-lI swear, KDE doesn't sound like a desktop environment, as much as the cast of extras to Fraggle Rock or some other kids program.20:53
snap-lOr Pokemon20:53
snap-lI unleash my choqok to battle your reqonk20:53
devinheitmuellersnap-l: well, Gnome sounds like those things sitting in my garden.20:53
devinheitmueller(or also on a kids program)20:53
snap-lempathy and telepathy are hardly chokok20:54
snap-lor gwibber20:54
devinheitmuellerfair enough.20:54
snap-lgwibber sounds like what an elder-one in HP Lovecraft stories might make people do when they see it20:55
snap-lchoqok sounds like what someone might do to tentacle-porn20:56
snap-lIt was bad enough with konqueror, but rekonq is just out in left-field20:57
brouschoh come on. we were just talking about juju and charms and boobyooooohs21:05
snap-lMaybe you were talking about boobyooooohs... ;)21:13
brouschspeaking boobyooooooohs21:14
brouschnixternal: we are all converting to kubuntu21:14
nixternalbrousch: why would you do such a thing?21:19
brouschbecause it is the most awesome21:19
nixternalonce toned down with some stuff disabled, it isn't to bad21:20
brouschi think all i disabled was strigi and desktop effects21:21
nixternalnepomuk is another good one to disable if you don't use all that search crap21:23
nixternali use the cli for pretty much everything, so i don't need to use a gui app like dolphin to tag and star crap21:23
brouschdolphin is nice21:23
=== nixternal is now known as fifo
fifoerr21:24
=== fifo is now known as nixternal
krondornixternal:  you can use strigi from cli with strigicmd though :) plus I love krunner so its hard to think of disabling that :)21:43
nixternali use krunner when i use kde/kubuntu but i only use it to launch an app21:46
nixternalseems the only apps i launch though are eclipse, kmahjongg, and chrome21:46
snap-lkmahjongg? :)22:01
