rick_h_wheeee02:00
greg_gahhh, back on a pristine gnome-shell02:06
rick_h_greg_g: you find something to work?02:09
rick_h_man, we need to jump back on the podcast so I can scream about you get what you expect from apple land: https://twitter.com/#!/ginatrapani/status/19750847079736934502:13
greg_grick_h_: on mt home non-work laptop which is debian :)02:23
snap-lrick_h_: Yeah, that whole in-app purchase embargo from Apple is pretty silly.02:40
snap-lMade using the Nook and Kobo app on the iPhone pretty sterile02:40
snap-lBut, its Apple's sandbox. We just play in it.02:43
snap-lAnd because Dropbox is competing with iCloud, expect it to get much worse.02:44
snap-lOh bloody hell02:44
snap-lWhat's worse is Dropbox doesn't even have in-app purchase, just a link to Safari to do authorization02:45
snap-lwhere one could make an in-app purchase02:45
snap-lIf they make that illegal, expect a good portion of apps to suddenly disappear02:46
snap-lhttp://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=59350&replies=15 <- Pretty stupid on Apple's part02:47
greg_gI think I want one of these to act as a home NAS: http://www.solid-run.com/products/cubox05:24
greg_gbut, i can't believe it does much better at pushing data than rick_h_ 's new NAS, but, at 3watts...05:24
rick_h_greg_g: right, but then you need to get the drives in there with raid and such10:42
rick_h_morning by the way11:11
rick_h_...wow... http://i.imgur.com/rT1m0.png11:41
brouschheh11:42
brouschi guess i can see if all you've ever used was a GUI the command line must seem barbaric11:42
rick_h_it's just sad, the deaf writing music? I'm not deaf...11:44
brouschhttp://www.evelyn.co.uk/evelyn-glennie.html11:46
snap-lrick_h_: Yeah, that's just sad that folks can't think of how to do graphics on a machine without a full stack in front of them12:23
rick_h_snap-l: (sorry only mug'er online) is there any word of the next meeting stuff since it's < 1wk out?12:51
snap-lYeah, I need to get in touch with Shawn to get a blurb12:51
rick_h_gotcha12:52
rick_h_oh and squeezebox ftw so far12:52
snap-lrick_h_: Awesome!12:52
rick_h_after I wired it to get a software update so I could get it on the network12:52
rick_h_ugh12:52
rick_h_but hey, new toy allowed a headache/two to start out12:52
snap-lYeah, it's a little finicky about updates12:52
snap-lbut you can override the updates if you're persistent12:53
rick_h_well just that it saw my network, would let me enter the access code (which still sucks on that dial) but would fail without any hint as to why12:53
rick_h_I had to plug it in ethernet, let it find an update, do the update, and then get back to the wireless and it connected ok12:53
snap-lrick_h_: If you get the regular squeezebox remote, it's a LOT nicer for tapping out passwords12:53
rick_h_the android remote is actually pretty ok, especially coming from just on the unit stuff12:53
snap-lat least if they're alphanumeri12:54
snap-lc12:54
rick_h_oh, yea no remote here, just on unit12:54
rick_h_and can't use the phone stuff until you get it on the network12:54
snap-lThe card remote they give you as part of the accesory pack isn't as good12:54
rick_h_oh I just got the bare unit, no extras12:54
rick_h_http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Squeezebox-Internet-Remote-Controller/dp/B001413GT6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1335963281&sr=8-312:55
rick_h_$!!12:55
snap-lYeah, the acc. pack has the battery, remote12:55
snap-lYes, unfortunately12:55
snap-lGet it direct from Logitech if it's more than $5012:55
snap-lAmazon has a tendency on accessories to be... pricey.12:55
rick_h_well there's http://www.amazon.com/Original-Remote-Logitech-Squeezebox-Internet/dp/B005TYUCG4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1335963281&sr=8-2 which is more reasonable12:56
snap-lrick_h_: Oh, no, that's not the remote I'm talking about12:56
snap-lone sec.12:56
rick_h_shoot, that remote costs more than the squeezebox, I'd just get a freaking harmony reomte and call it a day12:56
snap-lhttp://www.ebay.com/itm/160744138615#ht_691wt_108812:57
snap-lThis guy is upstanding.12:57
snap-lhttp://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360453911348#ht_691wt_108812:57
rick_h_gotcha, well I'll try the phone for a bit and if it gets annoying pick up a remote12:58
rick_h_thanks for the heads up on that12:58
snap-lYeah, quite honestly the only machine that really needs the remote is the classic12:58
snap-land once you have it set up, it's pretty much a "nice to have" with the radio12:58
snap-lThe Duet remote (that you posted) is essentially the radio without the speaker.12:59
snap-lor the DAC13:00
rick_h_gotcha13:00
snap-l(though it has a headphone jack, if memory serves, so it has a DAC, just not one that's accessible)13:00
snap-lIt's also a problem child. FOlks had problems with the battery getting completely discharged13:01
snap-lDoes anyone have Ryan Kather's e-mail address handy?13:18

brouschthat means the DXX is coming soon13:54
shakes808meh, Nook ;D13:54
snap-lI like my nook, but having a full page screen like that would be nice13:54
snap-lnot $300 nice, mind you.13:55
snap-lAnd the nook on it's side works adequately.13:55
rick_h_that reminds me, anyone want to buy a kindle3?13:55
shakes808for the same price you can get the nook tablet13:55
brousch$513:55
rick_h_I never use the small one since the DX13:55
rick_h_brousch: was thinking more like $4513:55
rick_h_I miss the latest sofware on the 6", but DX size and pdf reading ftw13:56
snap-lReminds me, I haven't powered up the Kobo in weeks. :)13:57
rick_h_hah13:57
shakes808Kobo?13:57
snap-lYeah, it's Japanese for "Don't bother"13:58
rick_h_hah13:58
shakes808lol13:58
shakes808just another eReader, I presume?13:58
rick_h_for 'open' hipies13:59
rick_h_hippies13:59
shakes808ha ha13:59
snap-lWell, it's what borders sold as their "house-brand" eBook reader13:59
shakes808lol and look at what happened to them .. lol13:59
snap-lUnfortunately, the company has been through some rough patches, and has become terminally stupid in customer service.13:59
snap-lshakes808: Now now.14:00
snap-lI miss Borders.14:00
shakes808What?14:00
shakes808I like BN better14:00
shakes808Their deals and discounts aren't limited14:00
shakes808and they are friendlier there14:00
snap-lBorders had better overall coupons for members. :)14:00
shakes808meh14:01
shakes808you only got them once a month whereas BN you get the deals EVERYDAY14:01
shakes808lol14:01
rick_h_too the coffee shop!!!!14:01
snap-lshakes808: Apparently you weren't a power couponer like we were at Borders. :)14:01
shakes808And with the nook, they had deals on that for Starbucks and the store14:01
snap-lEvery week it was at least 20% off14:01
snap-lRegardless, that's where the Kobo came from14:02
shakes808I would only get one sheet of coupons a month from them and if I tried to use another one from a friend, they wouldn't let me.14:02
shakes808gotcha14:02
snap-lit was a decent little device, but they screwed it up with the latest firmware14:02

shakes808BN = Google of book stores lol assimulation in progress ...  ...  ...  ... assimulation succeeded14:06
rick_h_psh, Google makes money and is still alive I call invalid comparison14:11
snap-lBN is in trouble as well14:11
rick_h_book publishing is changing hardcode14:12
shakes808Google buys out tech, uses it for a short while and then shuts it down lol. assimulation :)14:12
rick_h_snap-l: we need to get our notes together for that chat, the self publishing, etc14:12
shakes808How is BN in trouble?14:12
snap-lshakes808: Not sure if you've notice, but traditional book sales are plummeting.14:13
shakes808yes. because of torrenting14:13

Blazeixi don't know of an easy way, i usually just look up wtf colorX maps to16:26
Blazeixrick_h_: ^16:26
Blazeixi would take the rgb values on that html page and map them to the various URxvt*colorX keys16:27
rick_h_Blazeix: ok cool, yea didn't look yet but was curious as I know you've tinkered more with that stuff than I have16:41

Blazeixsome of those resume templates are spiffy19:03
rick_h_yea, definitely cool19:03
rick_h_I might have to check out doing my next presentation on Gdocs again19:03
Blazeixhm, the pager for the templates says "1-20 of thousands"19:04
Blazeixthere are actually about 70.19:04
rick_h_hmm, maybe it's a gradual rollout thing?19:05
Blazeixi think it's just google's search algorithm not knowing how many results there are19:06
Blazeixsince that's really expensive to calculate19:06
Blazeixbut you usually have a bunch of search results. it's more pronounced with < 100.19:06
