[04:03] hey gilbert [04:03] gilbert: came accross http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2011/09/msg00522.html [04:04] gilbert: the if/if/if conditionals can be condensed into cc_dict = { "java" : "debian-java@l.d.o", "python" : "debian-python@l.d.o" ... } [04:04] and use that, and on key error, fall through [04:04] also haskel is marked as python [04:04] + if section == 'python': [04:04] + headers.append('X-Debbugs-CC: debian-python@lists.debian.org') [04:04] + if section == 'python': [04:04] + headers.append('X-Debbugs-CC: debian-haskell@lists.debian.org') [04:05] you can also += """ \n\n\n\ """ [04:05] minor crap, but totally cool [04:07] whee, <60min to blackout [04:09] * Unit193 is so scared [04:25] * Cheri703 is trying to decide if it is a good idea to send an angry/frustrated email when suffering from sleep deprivation [04:26] might be ok to compose it, to get it out of your system, but postpone it. [04:26] use all that energy to drive the writing, sure. [04:26] well, I *do* need a response on part of it as soon as possible, and I'll be asleep when he is likely to get it / respond [04:26] doesn't sound like there's much choice, then, really. [04:28] short version: purchased something, in setting it up, running into ALL SORTS of quality control issues, have had to make multiple trips to purchase parts that should have come with it, will have to make more trips to fix a spot that has stripped threads, just all around ridiculous...and I'm pissed. also bought x specifically to mount y, explicitly mentioned I was planning to use y, guy recommended y, and there is NO POSSIBLE way that y will [04:28] fit securely onto x... [04:28] so I'm super annoyed [04:29] the mounting issue is the part I need a reply on, we've discussed some of the rest of it, but he's all "oh, no big deal, just go get replacement thingy, I'll pay for the part" but it requires driving across town, waiting til a car is available, and coming home from the store to realize I will have to go RIGHT BACK for another part is ridiculous [22:18] paultag, i didn't know opencongress.org was your guys thing. [22:18] nice work! [22:21] jrgifford: thanks! :) [22:21] yeppers, sunlight as hell [22:21] feel free to contribute, it's all f/oss! [22:21] i noticed, i'm like, watcher #50 on github. :P [22:22] :D [22:22] i really need to get my act together and stop writing docs and helping people and start writing code. :P [22:22] jrgifford: dude [22:22] Looks like they have a SOPA thing up too [22:22] jrgifford: docs are tragic with sunlight, i've come to notice [22:22] Unit193: :) [22:22] yeah they do Unit193. :) [22:22] jrgifford: if you wanted to get into doing developer stuff, I'd be bloody impressed [22:22] jrgifford: shame you're not in BOS, we're looking for an intern [22:23] jrgifford: Was looking for a few earlier :P But now I :x [22:23] paultag, sad story of all f/oss unfortunately, have a small project that needs docs? [22:24] jrgifford: yeah, actually. They all do - a few HOWTOs on how to help with openstates would be super ultra kickass [22:24] also, if you're interested in informally formal relationship with a remote intern-ish type idiot, just tell me and i'll do my best to convince my parents. :P [22:24] jrgifford: we're looking for someone to work here in BOS :( [22:24] some of it sucks to do remote [22:24] and we already have one remote intern :( [22:24] * canthus13 wonders how crappy of a company GXS is... [22:25] :( oh well. i'll look into openstates after I finish calling portman and brown about PIPA. :) [22:25] Cheri703: http://influenceexplorer.com/organization/gxs/f01803a0885147faac4e49f137e44a34 [22:25] jrgifford: :) [22:25] erm crap [22:25] sorry Cheri703 [22:25] canthus13: http://influenceexplorer.com/organization/gxs/f01803a0885147faac4e49f137e44a34 [22:26] paultag: I'm more interested in what it's like to work there. [22:26] canthus13: ahhh. Right. [22:26] * canthus13 is looking at a TSS position in Brook Park. [22:26] LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL [22:27] portmans voicemail box is full. :D [22:27] and all the lines are busy. [22:28] that says something about the power of the internet right there guys. [22:28] jrgifford: you know that zipcode thinger on wikipedia? [22:28] jrgifford: sunlight data ;) [22:28] i haven't visited wikipedia all day. [22:28] well, everyone uses sunlight now that i look at it. [22:29] also, govtrack.us is evil. :P [22:29] :) [22:29] jrgifford: yeah, sunlight is everywhere [22:29] and it's awesome [22:30] all up on the news too [22:30] which is cool [22:30] :D [22:34] thank the lord for free domestic US Google Voice calls. If I didn't have that, I wouldn't be calling DC. :( [22:34] jrgifford: You must have a crappy cell carrier? [22:34] canthus13, i'm 15 and without a cell phone. :P [22:34] jrgifford: Ah. Makes sense. :) [22:35] paultag! opencongress is 502'ing on me! where do I send money for another server?! :D [22:51] jrgifford: I don't think I remembered/knew you were 15 [22:52] Unit193, i seem to remember putting it on my wiki page. [22:52] but i might have edited it out after someone said something [22:53] Hmmm... Not that it really matters though [23:05] It does if you're trying to get any sort of job type thing. :P [23:10] There it would [23:10] Better chances at 16 w/ permission from school [23:10] I have permission from school. In fact, school is forcing me to do this. ("yay" for homeschooling. :P) [23:11] *Permission from local school super [23:11] I was homeschooled (Did better for my sisters), my sister went through this years ago [23:12] oh, thats easy to get, particularly if job start date is after May 20th or something like that. But I can't get that until I get a offer. [23:12] Language warning: Lookup Cyanide and Happiness and view the source for today [23:13] lol? [23:13] Would volunteer also work? I had that for a while (not required) and I loved it [23:14] jrgifford: Source is funny, but like paultag [23:14] Unit193, volunteer could work, its just not where I want to be. [23:16] jrgifford: Was in a hospital IS dept for a while, was awesome (They trusted me so I got to do all sorts of fun stuff wtih the little crappy parts) [23:16] oh? That could be fun. [23:18] * Unit193 got the domain admin pass, and his own account with cool privs :D [23:40] paultag: thx 4 the suggestions [23:41] paultag: btw how did u come accross that? [23:41] paultag: i didn't seem to get much interest after i put it together...felt a bit discouraged
