[00:42] <_stink_> damn
[00:43] <Dekkard> Sup
[00:55] <rick_h_> woot
[01:05] <Dekkard> L8rs
[01:59] <jrwren> rick_h_: new gig is at Arbor Networks :)
[02:00] <rick_h_>  jrwren ah, thought it didn't go through. Congrats!
[02:01] <jrwren> thanks.
[02:01] <jrwren> so far, so good.
[02:01] <jrwren> day 1 was pretty sweet.
[02:02] <rick_h_> awesome
[02:03] <rick_h_> anyone know how to set a Makefile var but only if the shell var doesn't exist?
[03:23] <snap-l> Apparently there's only 20 tickets for the GLFPC event
[03:23] <snap-l> which makes sense since SRT isn't that big of a place. :)
[03:57] <snap-l> greg-g: Starting to notice more bands releasing their stuff SA
[03:57] <snap-l> Maybe there is something to the BY-NC-ND deprecation after all.
[04:53] <Blazeix> i think there are only 20 tickets *left*. there are only 50 total, though...
[11:47] <snap-l> Good morning
[11:53] <snap-l> Open Metalcast Episode 42, where we tell you the answers to Life, The Universe, and Something Else: http://ur1.ca/8jeoq
[12:42] <jrwren> rick_h_: didn't you buy a make book?
[12:43] <jrwren> rick_h_: looks like make handles that by default.  http://sunsite.ualberta.ca/Documentation/Gnu/make-3.79/html_chapter/make_9.html#SEC90
[12:44] <jrwren> rick_h_: or use ?=
[12:44] <jrwren> http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Setting
[13:03] <rick_h_> jrwren: yes
[13:04] <rick_h_> jrwren: ah nice, I was google'ing around the wrong way
[13:04] <rick_h_> I was trying to set the env var and have it persist in the file
[13:04] <rick_h_> but yea, I can easily just add it to the make command when the builder runs it
[13:06] <brousch> oooh, appinventor is back online
[13:06] <brousch> http://appinventor.mit.edu/
[13:08] <rick_h_> yea, cool stuff
[13:45] <rick_h_> jrwren: thanks, that really helped me get this going
[14:25] <tjagoda> Hallo
[14:25] <rick_h_> morning
[14:26] <rick_h_> Blazeix: http://paste.mitechie.com/show/560/ let me know where I'm missing things pls :)
[14:29] <tjagoda> Anybody have a good linux audiobook recommendation?
[14:29] <tjagoda> Day trip to Toronto tomorrow
[14:29] <tjagoda> so like 8 hours of driving time
[14:31] <rick_h_> nixternal: fix your @#$# :P
[14:31] <rick_h_> tjagoda: linux audiobook?
[14:32] <tjagoda> "Any audiobook remotely covering topics related to open sourceyness and or linuks"
[14:33] <rick_h_> hm, havne't listened to anything like that recently. Closest would be in the plex (google)
[14:37] <snap-l> Yeah, the only ones that I'm aware of would be something like The Cathedral And The Bazaar or it's ilk
[14:37] <snap-l> http://catb.org/~esr/writings/homesteading/
[14:46] <snap-l> http://www.randomhouse.com/book/80240/the-hacker-ethic-by-pekka-himanen
[14:48] <snap-l> tjagoda: Frankly, most of the books that I could see being turned into audio books about OSS are the touchy-feely OSS books
[14:48] <snap-l> If you're looking for something a little more in-depth, you'd be better served with an eBook reader.
[14:48] <snap-l> and some headphones. :)
[14:49] <snap-l> And riding the train
[14:49] <snap-l> eBooks aren't that great for driving
[14:51] <snap-l> https://www.amazon.com/dp/1402516274/ref=as_li_ss_til?tag=decafbadnet-20&camp=0&creative=0&linkCode=as4&creativeASIN=1402516274&adid=1QQV4A444M67PXXVJE6M&
[14:52] <snap-l> Might I humbly recommend this as better listening material. :)
[14:52] <snap-l> and yes, there's a referral code, so buy 20 of them.
[15:15] <snap-l> Jesus, this recruiter is going to get banned soon.
[15:53] <rick_h_> snap-l: ping
[16:07] <snap-l> jcastro: http://www.deadlyfredly.com/2012/03/dinocalypse-the-cover/
[16:16] <brousch> what does unity/gnome use for viewing PDFs?
[16:17] <snap-l> evince
[16:17] <snap-l> Or at least it used to
[16:18] <snap-l> I think it still does, but haven't checked. :)
[16:18] <brousch> ran into a new fun PDF that ghostscript pukes on
[16:19] <brousch> adobe reader, foxit reader, and okular render it fine
[16:20] <brousch> evince looks good too
[16:20] <krondor> people can do some funky things with PDFs, I once had one that was animated, which I was surprised even worked in okular.
[16:20] <snap-l> Yeah, not sure how ghostscript handles layered PDFs
[16:23] <brousch> snap-l: usually it's fine
[16:23] <brousch> which is why i've been using it to convert nasty PDFs to nicer formats
[16:24] <brousch> so now i need to look at what okular or evince use to do the rendering and see if i can adapt it to my needs
[16:28] <krondor> brousch:  android dev; MIT App Inventor Open Beta http://bit.ly/wWu1Sg
[16:32] <brousch> filed bugs against ghostscript PDF and mupdf. this should be fun
[16:33] <brousch> krondor: yeah, i saw that this morning. haven't had a chance to look at it though :(
[16:55] <brousch> ok, okular and evince both use poppler. now i'm getting somewhere  http://poppler.freedesktop.org/
[17:05] <nixternal> nice
[17:29] <snap-l> PHP 5.4 was released?
[17:53] <krondor> yep
[18:05] <rick_h_> snap-l: yea, couple fancy bits. Mixins
[19:12] <brousch> ug, having fun with the ghostscript bug http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692903
[19:22] <brousch> http://tech.slashdot.org/story/12/03/06/1837245/x-server-now-available-for-android
[19:34] <greg-g> brousch: ugh, unhelpfull
[19:45] <brousch> poppler does what i need, so if need-be i can replace ghostscript
[20:03] <snap-l> http://i.imgur.com/HK3ER.jpg
[20:41] <brousch> there. did fresh install of debian with an entirely different ghostscript version and it produced the same scrambled output
[20:55] <snap-l> At least it's consistent.
[20:56] <brousch> yeah, i found it because we have a windows program that uses gs8.4, which is many years old. and it still exists on gs9.04 today
[21:09] <krondor> man its been a bit since I priced a new server, new proliantg8 has 24dimms? 768 GB/1U maximum ram. wow
[21:10] <brousch> crazy
[21:12] <krondor> that's 48GB/core if you do 16 core (2*8 core chips)
[21:26] <snap-l> That's insane
[21:27] <greg-g> in the membrane
[21:27] <brousch> insane
[21:29] <greg-g> IN THE BRAIN!
[21:30] <snap-l> greg-g: Why do you trust anything related with bitcoin? :)
[21:30] <greg-g> snap-l: do I?
[21:31] <greg-g> I mean, dwolla is just a payment processor, like paypal or google or amazon.
[21:31] <snap-l> Yeah, but they transfer stuff via bitcoin, afaict?
[21:33] <greg-g> dwolla? no.
[21:34] <greg-g> dwolla is just like paypal/amazon payments
[21:34] <greg-g> just, better in that they don't charge as much
[21:34] <greg-g> dwolla had a bitcoin exchange using dwolla's service (just as kickstarter uses amazon)
[21:34] <greg-g> so, dwolla doesn't touch bitcoins, just other virtual money on servers (USD) ;)
[21:34] <snap-l> Ah, OK
[23:44] <snap-l> Bah, left a blooper in the latest OMC
[23:57] <greg-g> yay bloopers!
