tjagodaruhoh00:04
tjagodadisk sounds loud in this laptop00:04
tjagodaMight be the excuse that breaks my will and has me plunk down for an SSD =(00:05
rick_hssd ftw00:20
tjagodaYeah00:25
tjagodajust dont want to spend the $$ tho00:25
tjagodaHas the market leveled in terms of performance?00:26
tjagodaI remember when Intel was king of SSD's.00:26
rick_hyea, some, but I'm still hesitent to move outside of intel00:27
rick_hbut I'm not a big risk taker00:27
BlazeixI like OCZ, but it can be a gamble00:27
BlazeixI happened to win that gamble, and have a really fast ssd, but i've heard horror stories about reliability00:28
rick_hyea00:28
tjagodaDoes canonical tell you if they reject your app?00:34
rick_hnot sure how the app process works00:35
rick_hI'd imagine they would, they're very eager to help/get people involved00:35
tjagodaIt says "open," I was unsure if they actually go through and cull out the hordes00:35
tjagodaOr if they only communicate to the serious candidates00:35
rick_hnot sure00:36
tjagodaYour SSD, is it your primary drive?00:40
rick_hyea00:43
rick_hon my laptop it's my only drive00:43
rick_hand on my desktop it's / and /home is a normal drive00:43
snap-ltjagoda: They'll let you know if they don't accept your app01:23
snap-lit's pretty impersonal, but at least they have a response.01:23
tjagodaoh, cool01:23
snap-lNot that I would know or anything. :)01:23
snap-lWent and looked at fish tanks this evening01:25
snap-lWhen it's all said and done, this is going to be rather expensive.01:25
snap-lSeems like there's a huge price increase when you hit 20+ gal01:25
tjagodaAre you investing in fish futures?01:30
snap-lYes01:30
snap-lhopefully in their long living futures.01:30

snap-lThat good, eh?12:09
rick_hfeel like crap today, rough morning12:10
snap-lrick_h: Sorry to hear that. :(12:21
mydogsnameisrudyMorning12:21
Wolfgermorning12:41
Wolfgergot my thanks-but-no-thanks from Canonical12:42
snap-lWolfger: Sorry to hear that12:43
rick_h:(12:43
snap-lOn the flip side, I've gotten quite  few of those.12:43
rick_hmakes you feel better I got a pair of those12:43
snap-linsert 'a" in there12:43
rick_hheh12:43
rick_hand we go for the same line12:43
snap-lrick_h: Yep12:44
snap-lWolfger: I know exactly how you feel, though12:44
WolfgerWell, at least I know and I'm not waiting to hear. Wonder if tjagoda got his or if he's in the hunt12:44
WolfgerThey were probably "Michigan, again? We need to spread it out more." :-)12:45
rick_hhah, state quota exceeded12:46
snap-lheh12:50
snap-lWE need more uruguayans12:50
snap-lhttp://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/postgresql-for-wordpress/ <- I wish Wordpress supported PostgreSQL out of the box12:52
snap-land without a plugin12:53
rick_hproblem is scaling requires a non-crappy ORM and they just ditch it and go mysql12:54
snap-lhttp://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Alternative_Databases12:54
snap-lSadly, they need someone smart like Michael to make it work12:54
snap-l(Bayer, iirc)12:55
snap-lWow, people are really demanding of html512:56
snap-lhttp://html5.please.us12:56

rick_hlove this https://twitter.com/#!/alex_gaynor/status/16179741393643110513:22
brouschthat has convinced you to switch?13:25
brouschyou have a lot of porn site ideas in the queue?13:25
rick_hI just think that's a great summary for a project13:32
rick_h"we make porn and big media sites kinda easy...might help with other things to, but meh we're not following that too close"13:32
snap-lWasn't that one of the other things that made Turbogears awesome too?13:42
rick_hyea, TG biggests site was a porn site long ago13:43
rick_hhard to put on the wall of fame to show off your framework :)13:43
brouschdepends on who you're catering to13:46
brouschfor instance, i would not be offended by that13:46
snap-lJust have a LOT of pixellation.13:48
snap-l"Sites using (framework): bobsfish.com, quickietshirts.com, anal-destroyers.com13:50
brouschshows it's scalable13:52
brouschspeaking of anal-destroyers ...13:57
tjagodao.O13:57
tjagodaI am opposed to this title.13:58
brouschwell then you shouldn't have missed last night's meeting where it was voted on13:59
tjagodaBut I was here last night, and definitely witnessed no meeting =(14:00
* tjagoda smells skullduggery 14:00
jrwrensnap-l: is that pgsql for wordpress maintained?14:14
tjagodaWindows Live Essentials and Bing Bar are my most frequently uninstalled applications.14:18
tjagodaBlasted users.14:18
jrwrenwhat is wrong with live essentials?14:18
jrwreni need my live writer!14:19
brouschbing bar?14:19
brouschyou let your users user IE?14:19
jrwrenlol, good point.14:19
snap-ljrwren: It allegedly runs up until 3.2.114:19
snap-lhas a date of 9/2011 as the last release14:20
jrwrensnap-l: not bad.14:20
snap-ljrwren: It's more recent than the other attempts14:20
snap-lbut I still don't trust it14:20
jrwreni like the idea.14:21
jrwrenthough it seems like if you are gonna do that, might as well go all the way to nosql14:21
jrwrenwordpress on mongodb :p14:21
snap-ljrwren: I'm glad it exists, but I'm really hoping native PGSQL comes soon14:21
snap-ljrwren: That would be sweet.14:22
jrwreni don't think it is a goal at all.14:22
snap-ljrwren: From the discussion, it seems like a "yeah, we really should do this, but it's non-trivial"14:22
rick_hhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=w_WW-DHqR3c14:25
Raggshi, can Debian and ubuntu share a /home dir?14:25
rick_hI call this the successful completion of gnome do taking over ubuntu14:25
rick_hRaggs: probably wouldn't reccomend it14:25
rick_hthey'll be competing over the same .gnome and such directories14:25
snap-lRaggs: At the same time? No14:25
rick_hand the software will be the different versions/etc14:25
snap-lrick_h: ++14:25
Raggssnap-l, well only one will be booted at a time14:26
tjagodaI have to let my users use IE14:26
snap-lRaggs: I'd recommend if you need files with both versions to create a shared area14:26
tjagodaAutomotive supplier websites that dont work outside it14:26
snap-land put the files that are to be shared in that area.14:26
Raggsyep, sounds like an idea14:26
tjagodaAnd asking them to use two browsers would frankly blow a few of their minds. =(14:27
tjagodaDont get me wrong, my users are not mindless drones14:27
tjagodaBut yeah =(14:27
brouschmine use FF for everything but those crappy sites14:33
brouschit does not hurt their minds14:34
tjagodaDo yours refer to everything as "the internet?"14:38
tjagodaor alternatively, e-mails14:38
snap-lhttp://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/372385/ubuntu-rips-up-drop-down-menus <- Ugh14:39
rick_h... waiting for adfarm.mediaplex.com14:40
rick_hthere it goes14:40
snap-lOK, it's a little interesting14:41
snap-lbut accessibility is just taking it in the neck, isn't it?14:41
snap-lWhy is this going into 12.04, as well?14:42
snap-lI thought the idea was stability, quality, etc14:42
rick_hwell technically it can be more accessable if it helps allow better search through menus vs hunt/peck :)14:42
snap-lApparently it's quality, unless there's a really cool feature14:42
rick_hbut yea, this is agiant whatever14:42
rick_hlol14:43
rick_hbut check out Mark's blog post. They've got 90% test coverage14:43
snap-lYeah, that's awesome.14:44
snap-lI'm just trying to figure out how to explain this new interface to my parents14:45
snap-lthey're still on 10.0414:45
snap-lAS long as it degrades nicely for apps that are, well, Java, this should be pretty interesting.14:46
tjagodaI am a fan of hunt and peck14:50
tjagodaespecially when I cant remember wtf the name of my program is14:50
tjagodaMost frequently happens with Libre office14:51
tjagodawhenever I need to remember what the powerpoint equiv is called14:51
_stink_even though my workflow is pretty well established, and i will likely never use any of this new GUI stuff... i have to say i'm so happy someone is pushing the envelope.14:52
snap-lI'm just pissed focus follows mouse is dead14:52
snap-lNERDRAGE!14:53
_stink_hehehe14:53
_stink_can't you just use twm?14:53
tjagodaI refuse to believe that anybody other than a reanimated Steve Jobs can advance UI design!14:53
brouschsnap-l: FFM works well for me14:54
brouschalso, my computer looks pretty much like 10.0414:54
tjagodaSame here14:56
tjagodaOnly less orange, and more blue14:56
brouschi'm sure you could find an orangish theme14:56
snap-lbrousch: Yes, I'm sure it does, but I'd have to get over a new problem14:57
snap-lmainly throwing up in my mouth every time I moused over something.14:57
brouschyour prejudices are clouding your mind14:57
snap-l(slow draw) THIS IS A WINDOW. YOU CAN USE THIS WINDOW TO DO SHIT14:58
brouschfree yourself from your gnomish bonds14:58
snap-lgnever.14:58
brouschok, that made me snort14:58
snap-l;)14:58
snap-lOK, meeting time14:59
rick_hsnap-l: tell the family I said hello :P15:00

rick_h"Jobs was a sucky blow hard!!!!" and then run out15:38
WolfgerOooh, HTML 5 Cookbook on dotd15:50
brouschok, wow. copying big files through dolphin, it puts the whole file into ram15:58
snap-lOk, I don't have that one yet.15:58
snap-lbrousch: You're doing it wrong15:59
brouschcopy, paste15:59
snap-lbrousch: You're doing it wrong15:59
brousch:P15:59
snap-lrsync FTW15:59
brouschrsync from my camera?15:59
snap-lYes15:59
snap-l:-P15:59
brouschi took HD video of last night's meeting. it's in 4 files of 2-3GB each16:00
brouschthat 3GB is gonna be a bitch16:01
brouschi really need more ram16:01
snap-lIs it mounting the camera as a Mass Storage Device?16:02
snap-lbecause if so, rsync should work. :)16:02
WolfgerI have mixed feelings about this: http://www.cnn.com/2012/01/24/tech/web/judge-defendant-decrypt-laptop/index.html?hpt=hp_bn616:02
brouschok, i took the sd card out and tried again16:04
brouschwith just sd card it does not copy the whole thing into ram16:04
rick_hWolfger: I hate that myself16:05
brouschthrough camera, it does16:05
brouschthe camera mounts as some goofball kind of device16:05
brouschdamn, that's much quicker16:08
snap-lbrousch: PTP, iirc.16:09
snap-lIt's some goofy protocol they use.16:09
brouschsounds right16:09
brouschworks fine for photos, but is a bitch one these videos16:10
snap-lMeans it doesn't mount the device, but it's a lot slower IMHO16:10
brouschi'll just have to keep that in mind16:10
krondorbrousch:  it's probably accessing the camera through PTP16:21
krondorsnap-l:++ didn't see your post :)16:22
krondormy lack of reading comprehension means its time for lunch bbiab16:22
snap-lHeh16:25
WolfgerHmm. The word "heimlich" translates to "secretly"... Gives a whole new meaning to "the heimlich maneuver"16:31
WolfgerSounds like something I'd want those IR video recording binoculars for16:31
snap-lheh16:33
snap-lI am weak. Have barely touched the other HTML5 books, and I purchased the HTML5 cookbook16:39

snap-lmagic19:07
snap-lWhat's the trouble with make files?19:08
rick_h"something is building a build/js/yui directory...who is doing it?"19:08
snap-lGot root on the machine?19:09
rick_h"oh, so make runs some buildout stuff, buildout has tepmlates for bin-templates/xxx files that get put into /bin/xxx and then those get magically operated on by unicorns with directory variables back from the make files"19:09
snap-lmake the directories, run chmod 0000 on them as root, and see what blows up19:09
snap-lNot elegant, but it should work19:10

jrwrenim so happy that rick_h is going to be a make guru, now I can ask him stuff20:18
jrwrenrick_h: get the autotools stuff too20:18

jrwrenlol @ configure by hand.20:19
jrwrenthat is NUTS20:19
snap-lI've written one by hand (while looking at some examples). It's not fun.20:20
