BiosElement2So how's it going folks?03:54
Unit193Well, I'm not fond of messing with gpg...04:13
BiosElement2Ouch04:16
BiosElement2Yeahhh, I avoid gpg like the plague. Probably have 6 spare ones haha04:17
Unit193First time I did it, added the email with .com rather than .org, and I need that key on more than one computer. -_-04:17
* yano signs everything04:29
Unit193That's not the issue, but last email I sent had it.04:30
thafreakso, i keep saying it here, but i have to say it again16:57
thafreaksaltstack.org16:57
thafreakyou setup remote machines as minions16:57
thafreakand they basically wait around for instrucitons from you16:57
thafreakneat thing is, the minions connect back to the master and poll a message queue for instructions16:58
thafreakso they can be behind a firewall or nat'd or whatever, and you can still command them16:58
thafreakalso has built in config management, similar to puppet16:58
paultagthafreak: oh, wait, really?16:59
paultagthafreak: let's take this into whube, I have ideas.17:00
thafreakany security oriented folks in the NEO?19:21

paultagUnit193: haha19:25
Unit193paultag: Shuddup... ;)19:25
paultagUnit193: do you need something done? I happen to be friends with Luke19:25
Unit193I forgot to put it in junk...19:25
Unit193paultag: Only to say "oops", I keep a patched version in my junk that has all the nice features.19:25
paultagUnit193: don't want to upstream it?19:26
Unit193paultag: I'd be fine with that, but I have no powers and that's not exactly something they'd want in.19:26
paultagUnit193: did they reject it?19:27
Unit193paultag: Nope, didn't submit. I removed before I got yelled at. :P19:27
paultagUnit193: then how do you know what upstream wants?19:28
Unit193paultag: It's based off the patch promy had in the issue tracker, just kept up to date on changes on both sides.19:29
paultagso submit it to the issue19:29
Unit193Because it's already known, but I'd be happy to if that'd help!  Compare https://github.com/PromyLOPh/pianobar/issues/214#issuecomment-3884433   with   http://pastebin.com/HkreYpJR19:31

AndyGraybeal_anyone into GIS here?20:16
canthus13Ghost Investigation Society?20:17
Unit193Gastric Intestinal Surgery?20:17
AndyGraybeal_i was thinking more of Geography...20:17
paultagAndyGraybeal_: I am20:18
paultagAndyGraybeal_: why, what's up?20:18
AndyGraybeal_do you have this PPA installed: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGIS20:18
paultagnack20:18
paultagI do my stuff by hand20:18
AndyGraybeal_i just bought some land and my deed is wrote with english i don't understand.20:18
AndyGraybeal_i deals with commencing chains and thence westerlies.20:19
paultaghaha20:19
paultagmy stuff is limited to basic postgis / tilemill stuff20:19
paultagand dumping public gis data into my stuff20:19
AndyGraybeal_i was hoping i could get some bad ass software and a little gps info and be on my way ;)20:19
AndyGraybeal_i don't see any lat/lon info on this deed at all!!!!20:20
paultaghaha, oh lordy20:20
paultagAndyGraybeal_: you can get your county / state's land plot data20:20
paultagI've not looked into ohio's gis stuff20:20
paultagbut that's public domain20:20
AndyGraybeal_we have someting that is called 'athensgis'  it is handy20:20
paultagso you should be able to request the actual plot coords20:20
AndyGraybeal_is there a website?20:21
paultagoh cool20:21
canthus13AndyGraybeal_: If you've got a really, really old deed, the measurements can be really stupid.20:21
AndyGraybeal_aah request stuff.. like actually talk to humans. hmm.20:21
canthus13paces from trees that are long-gone, structures that burned down 200 years ago...20:21
paultagAndyGraybeal_: I have massgis for MA20:21
paultagif you can't find it online, usually *someone* will know something about GIS on the state level20:21
paultagif you ask enough20:21
AndyGraybeal_canthus13, luckily i don't have any 'paces' yet. :)20:21
canthus13AndyGraybeal_: Heh.20:22
AndyGraybeal_i get very bored reading it, it's hard to concentrate and read it through.20:22
paultagAndyGraybeal_: dude20:22
* canthus13 has seen some colonial-era deeds from MA and VA that were marked off based on rocks, trees, paces, buildings, imaginary lines drawn from one object to another...20:22
paultagAndyGraybeal_: http://downloads.ddti.net/athensoh/Metadata/ath_parcels_metadata.htm20:22
AndyGraybeal_after every paragraph it does state: "more or less" or "more less"20:22
paultagAndyGraybeal_: that should have your actual plot bounds on it20:22
AndyGraybeal_awesome20:22
AndyGraybeal_your googlefu is tremendous20:23
paultagI work with state goverments20:23
paultagI have an unnatural way with state websites20:23
AndyGraybeal_so this is .. what exactly?  i'm sorry i'm an idiot20:23
AndyGraybeal_is this like a .xml file?20:23
paultagAndyGraybeal_: you should be able to get a .shp file20:23
paultagwhich is importable to most GIS DBs / consumers20:24
paultaglet me download it20:24
AndyGraybeal_where do i find this .shp file (and what softare do you use in ubuntu?)20:24
paultagbtw it's very very up to date20:24
paultaglike amazingly up to date20:24
paultaghuge props to your county20:24
paultagyou should thank someone20:24
AndyGraybeal_yay my county :)20:24
AndyGraybeal_have you seen athensgis.com yet?20:24
paultagthat's where i found this20:24
paultagit's in insanely good shape20:24
AndyGraybeal_aah..20:24
paultagyou should really thank someone20:24
AndyGraybeal_yes, it's great20:25
AndyGraybeal_i am using athensgis, but i'm like.. it's not helping20:25
paultagAndyGraybeal_: yeah, download http://downloads.ddti.net/athensoh/parcels.zip20:25
AndyGraybeal_i found one pin on my land.20:25
paultagAndyGraybeal_: unzip it, and you'll have a bunch of .shp / .shx / .prj / .dbf etc20:25
paultagthose can be used with most tools20:25
AndyGraybeal_nice20:25
paultagAndyGraybeal_: I advocate using tilemill with OSM data20:25
AndyGraybeal_paultag, what do you recomend for ubuntu?20:25
AndyGraybeal_tilemill okay, i've not heard of htis20:25
paultagAndyGraybeal_: TileMill, personally - or PostGIS20:26
AndyGraybeal_rock!20:26
paultagIt's for rendering the data20:26
paultagthis was my hello-world with tilemill - http://blog.pault.ag/post/17036484637/mapping-the-ubuntu-community20:26
paultagnow, I'm fairly OK with it, much better then that20:26
paultagbut TM rocks20:27
paultag(and all nodejs!)20:27
AndyGraybeal_okay awesome thank you20:27
paultagsure thing20:27
paultagthis is tilemill with MA data - http://i.imgur.com/MTgfW.jpg20:28
paultaghttp://i.imgur.com/oM4XF.jpg20:28
AndyGraybeal_i'm tihnkking about buying temporary steaks for the ground20:28
paultagYMMV, but your county looks to have really really good data20:28
AndyGraybeal_i don't know what to think about a fence20:29
AndyGraybeal_a friend of mine is making concrete markers that stand about 6 ft out of the groud20:29
paultagoh jeez20:30
AndyGraybeal_*ground for his land20:30
paultagAndyGraybeal_: land stuff can be shady20:30
AndyGraybeal_aah, explain20:30
AndyGraybeal_wow nice images!20:30
paultagoh I mean, just getting it that accurate20:30
paultagin meatspace20:30
paultagGPSs suck, and often a few feet off :)20:30
paultagAndyGraybeal_: thanks!20:30
AndyGraybeal_meatspace is a new term to me20:31
AndyGraybeal_i don't like it yet.20:31
paultagAndyGraybeal_: I'm sure the town would be more then happy to come by and stake out the real land, then your neighbors won't hate you -- they'll hate the city for it :)20:31
AndyGraybeal_i think that costs a lot of money20:32
paultagreally? bummer20:32
AndyGraybeal_well, i think20:35
AndyGraybeal_i don't think the town offers the service20:35
AndyGraybeal_i think a surveyor does, unless you know different.20:35
paultagmmmm, I don't, in fact :)20:36
AndyGraybeal_i guess, i just want to find my pins.20:36
paultagmy GIS love is purely virtual atm :)20:36
AndyGraybeal_gah 256MB ;)20:43
AndyGraybeal_this is okay, it's just interesting.20:43
AndyGraybeal_paultag, do you know what southerly means?20:45
AndyGraybeal_does it just mean 'to the south' or does it mean something more specific?20:45
paultagI don't know, sounds like just due south20:45
AndyGraybeal_that's what i think too20:46
AndyGraybeal_how do you read something like: 80degrees 56' 15" ?  (is it just 80 degrees, 56feet, 15inches)?20:47
AndyGraybeal_it looks like it is a direction, not a length20:47
AndyGraybeal_because soon after that there is a measurement in chains or feet20:47
paultagAndyGraybeal_: it's a lat or lon coord20:48
AndyGraybeal_for serious?! awesome!20:48
paultagyeah20:48
AndyGraybeal_this is good.20:48
paultaglat/lon is done by degrees / hours / minutes / seconds20:48
paultagwhich is how you read that :)20:48
AndyGraybeal_rock on.20:48
paultag:)20:49
AndyGraybeal_you are awesome, thus i am awesome.20:49
paultagnah, this is all you, buddy20:49
paultagyou're awesome :)20:49
AndyGraybeal_then this makes life very easy!20:49
paultagAndyGraybeal_: if you need to convert it to the decimal notation - http://www.geology.iupui.edu/resources/students/geology_resources/lat_long.htm - but Google will actually figure both out20:49
paultagI prefer decimal notation myself, but both are valid20:50
AndyGraybeal_why is it 'hours' and 'minutes'?  like time?20:50
* paultag shrugs20:50
paultagnot really sure. I'm sure there's an interesting story there20:50
AndyGraybeal_i guess it relates to 24hour being the full breadth of the world.20:51
paultagah! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minute_of_arc20:52
AndyGraybeal_nice find20:52
paultag:)20:53
AndyGraybeal_hmm. so like.. how would 'north 33degrees 18' 40"  ' equal a lat/lon .. is it simply a direction?20:55
paultagIt's expressed in north / south of the equator20:55
paultagand east / west of grenwich20:55
paultagerm, greenwich20:55
AndyGraybeal_yea, nods.20:55
AndyGraybeal_can i read you an excerpt.. maybe you can tell me the lat/lon ?20:56
paultaglet me find a query for you20:56
paultagsure20:56
AndyGraybeal_i'm still confused20:56
AndyGraybeal_okay, this is a 5 acre plot20:56
AndyGraybeal_we have two20:56
AndyGraybeal_commencing at an iron pin found at the northwest corner of section 5; thence north 88degrees 41' 20" east along the northsection line 882.44 ft, to an iron pin, said iron pin being the place of beginning for the tract of land.20:57
AndyGraybeal_that is the first sentance of tract 120:57
paultagis there anything that's with west on it?20:58
AndyGraybeal_lemme just post the wohle thing . if you don't mind20:58
paultagsure20:58
AndyGraybeal_er.. all of tract 120:58
AndyGraybeal_Being a part of the northwest quarter of Section 5, Town 5, Range 12, more or particularly described as follows: Commencing at an iron pin found at the northwest corner of Section 5; thenc north 88degrees 41' 20" east along the north section line 882.44 ft. to an iron pin, said iron pin being the place of beginning for the tract of land herein described; passing throughan iron pin at 180.0 feet; thence continuing along th20:59
AndyGraybeal_e north section line; north 88degrees 41' 20" east 437.56 feet to an iron pin; thence south 0degrees 19' 20" west 650.0 ft to an iron pin; thence south 88degrees 41' 20" west 320.0 feet to an iron pin, thence north 0degrees 19' 20" east 470.0 ft to an iron pin; thence north 33degrees 18' 40" west 212.17 feet to the place of beginneing and containing 5.015 acres, more or less.20:59
canthus13AndyGraybeal_: good luck finding the pins. :)20:59
AndyGraybeal_canthus13, thanks bro!  i got a gps my bro-in-law is bringing over sunday20:59
AndyGraybeal_he works for the state20:59
AndyGraybeal_it's got gis software running on it :)20:59
AndyGraybeal_i got 18 beers waiting ;)21:00
paultagAndyGraybeal_: those look like relitive coords21:00
canthus13AndyGraybeal_: Hope it's really, really accurate. Land disputes get nasty.21:00
AndyGraybeal_paultag, okay then.. awful21:00
paultagcanthus13++21:00
paultagAndyGraybeal_: one sec.21:00
AndyGraybeal_canthus13, i'm not disputing anything i just want to find my pins.21:00
paultagAndyGraybeal_: is that the entire deed?21:00
canthus13AndyGraybeal_: If the pins are really, really old there won't be anything but rust.21:00
canthus13...and you might have to dig for the rust.21:01
AndyGraybeal_paultag, that is tract1.  i have tract2 which is extremely long, and i'm not going to type it.21:01
paultagright21:01
paultagyeah this won't work right21:01
AndyGraybeal_tract1 is 5 acres, tract2 is 19.. and tract1 is basic rectangle.. tract2 is polygon crazy21:01
canthus13Of course, you may get lucky and find that a previous owner has done the work for you and remarked everything a bit more visibly. then you just have to measure and figure out if the newer markings are correct.21:02
AndyGraybeal_er wait, tract2 is 14 acres (i hjvae 19 total)21:02
paultagAndyGraybeal_: you need to find Section 5, Town 5, Range 12, and the NE corner of Section 5, find the pin, then travel north to 88° 41' 20" W21:02
paultagerm, N21:02
paultagnot W, wait that can't be right21:02
AndyGraybeal_paultag, okay, this is what i was thinking21:03
paultagAndyGraybeal_: it's missing a second coord21:03
paultagbecause 88 seems OK for an EW measurement21:03
AndyGraybeal_then maybe i typed wrong, lemme correct21:03
AndyGraybeal_ah foudn typo i think21:04
AndyGraybeal_nope21:05
paultagCleveland, from my best guess is about 81° 41' 59" W  41° 29' 16" N21:06
paultagjust for a frame of ref'21:06
AndyGraybeal_k21:06
paultag88 W is in Illinois21:06
paultagjust BTW21:06
AndyGraybeal_so these are just directions, not lat/lon?21:06
paultagI believe so21:06
AndyGraybeal_k crap :)21:06
AndyGraybeal_this is fine21:06
paultag:)21:08
paultagalthough21:08
paultag88° 18' 40" does look like a compass bearing21:09
paultagand it does give feet21:09
AndyGraybeal_yea, compass21:09
paultagmight need a day at the field with a metal detector, a compas and a lot of time21:09
paultagand beer21:10
paultaglots of beer21:10
AndyGraybeal_metal detecter..... yes.21:10
AndyGraybeal_i wonder if someone in athens sells them21:13
AndyGraybeal_there is so much trash on my land21:13
AndyGraybeal_beer bottles, cans, coffee mugs, all sorts of trash21:14
AndyGraybeal_er not coffee mugs, coffee cans21:14
paultagbummer :(21:16
AndyGraybeal_yea21:17
AndyGraybeal_okay, i got tilemill, ready for geo-data to commence.21:19
paultag:)21:21
AndyGraybeal_something is failing ;)21:22
=== Guest99389 is now known as andygraybeal_
andygraybeal_yea, for whatever reason tilemill is not running21:39
andygraybeal_i found a handdrawn map with the pins marked21:47
andygraybeal_er, atleast i think21:47
andygraybeal_aah, 'shape' files :)21:54
paultagsorry, I've been afk21:54
paultagyeah :)21:54
paultagtilemill can be a bit of a bear21:54
paultagis it not running at all?21:54
paultagdid you install from the PPA?21:54
andygraybeal_yea, installed from ppa21:54
paultagodd21:55
andygraybeal_yes, something must be wrong with my system i'm still troublehsooting21:55
andygraybeal_also reading about gis.21:55
andygraybeal_i'm on 11.1021:57

paultaghere anyway21:57
paultagI broke it since install, but it used tow ork21:57
paultagerm, to work* :)21:57
andygraybeal_yea, postgis doesn't work either21:59
andygraybeal_something must be wrong with my systme :)21:59
andygraybeal_looks like my 'gnome-menus' is messed up22:01
andygraybeal_or something .. hah. who knows.22:01
andygraybeal_uninstalled and reinstalled, still not running22:04
andygraybeal_looks like something here: http://support.mapbox.com/discussions/tilemill/396-segmentation-fault-soon-after-startup-in-ubuntu-1110 and then goes to this: https://github.com/mapbox/tilemill/issues/106422:19
andygraybeal_mm. but i hvae vs 0.9.022:20
andygraybeal_ah, conflicting ppa's!22:40
andygraybeal_yay, it's working22:44
andygraybeal_wow, it's very beautiful interface, i love the colors22:44
canthus13you two had said more in the past hour or so than I've seen in here in several months combined.22:45
andygraybeal_i wonder if it's considered noise.22:46
andygraybeal_but whatever, i have a hard time finding general channels on irc22:46
canthus13I don't... but if you ran this discussion on the mailing list, people would quit the Loco in droves.22:46
* canthus13 thinks it's perfectly valid in here. :)22:47
andygraybeal_irc is for chat, i wonder if that will change?22:47
canthus13it's just nice to see some sort of discussion in here.. not just 'day changed xxx' for days on end.22:47
andygraybeal_if someone has something more ontopic, i will be quiet. :)22:47
canthus13:P22:48
andygraybeal_it's nice to find local people22:48
andygraybeal_i'm getting tired of huge channels22:48
canthus13andygraybeal_: but if you're looking for general chat, there's ##club-ubuntu, which is... frowned upon by the ubuntu irc council. (or elky, anyway, who thinks she IS the council...022:48
canthus13but it's a fun channel with lots of general chat and bawdiness. :)22:48
canthus13there's also #ubuntu-offtopic for more restrained chat.22:49
canthus13and then there's here, where you're giving the appearance that this channel isn't dead. :D22:49
andygraybeal_i'm in the #colug  (columbus lug), #aalug (athens area lug), just entered the #reddit-columbus and this one :)22:49
* canthus13 is in much more... irregular channels. :)22:50
andygraybeal_i'm just saying the local ones, that's what i like22:50
* canthus13 nods.22:50
andygraybeal_oh also the #osu_osc channel22:50
andygraybeal_i'm stalking yano22:50
canthus13If there were a toledo channel, I'd be the only one in it.22:50
andygraybeal_hahaha :)22:50
canthus13what a coincidence! yano's stalking me. :)22:50
andygraybeal_i went to UT for like a semester22:50
canthus13fun place to deliver pizza.22:51
andygraybeal_haha, yes, i wonder if yano is stalking me as well22:51
canthus13he seems to have appeared in most of those 'irregular' channels that I frequent.22:51
canthus13...maybe he's CIA.22:51
canthus13o.O22:51
andygraybeal_yes, i'm convinced.22:51
andygraybeal_paultag, http://gis3.oit.ohio.gov/geodata/ <-- motha load23:08
andygraybeal_my county is like 5GB :)23:10
andygraybeal_hahahahahha23:10
andygraybeal_this is awesome23:10
