| wab | Hello! | 02:09 |
| wab | Is anyone free to explain to me how packages work in Ubuntu? Specifically I'm wondering how I would be able to compile something from source but build it into a package with all the Ubuntu triggers (for menus, etc.). End game is to be able to modify something like gcalctool and have it re-integrate nicely. | 02:10 |
| snap-l | HI wab | 02:16 |
| wab | Hi there | 02:17 |
| snap-l | http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/ | 02:17 |
| snap-l | That should get you started on packaging for Ubuntu | 02:17 |
| wab | awesome thanks | 02:17 |
| wab | Sorry for the RTFM question | 02:18 |
| snap-l | np, we're here to help. :) | 02:18 |
| shakes808 | Good morning all | 12:18 |
| rick_h_ | party | 12:18 |
| rick_h_ | shakes808: sorry about the lack of help at the end of the night there. Hope that didn't come across bad. | 12:19 |
| rick_h_ | just try to get out of there and keep on good terms with the staff/etc | 12:19 |
| shakes808 | rick_h_: LOL that is fine. I got side tracked on 1. how well my game ran and 2. trying to get it to run and show you the death blossom. That time went by real quick. | 12:20 |
| rick_h_ | yea, it definitely flies when you're having fun | 12:20 |
| shakes808 | Next week we can try to get some of my computer set up properly and get me on the right track ;) | 12:21 |
| shakes808 | Here you all go :D http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Death-Star-10188;jsessionid=d9wqUzpoqQzPpM4E7MyMMw**.lego-ps-2-2 | 12:23 |
| rick_h_ | bah, I can't find Mike's photos of the death star assembly: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mikepirnat/sets/72157629129626695/ | 12:29 |
| brousch | $400 | 12:32 |
| brousch | crazy | 12:32 |
| brousch | 2560x1440 on 27" is overwhelming | 12:33 |
| rick_h_ | hah, time to get a pair of those :P | 12:34 |
| shakes808 | lol that is awesome | 12:38 |
| brousch | i have to turn my head to view the edge | 12:43 |
| rick_h_ | heh, glad I didn't get that code simplicity book now: http://goo.gl/SBkXQ | 13:42 |
| ColonelPanic001 | damn, I missed wab | 13:47 |
| ColonelPanic001 | pretty sure he's the guy from Sarnia I met at Pcon, in the "computer clubs" BOF | 13:47 |
| snap-l | rick_h_: Yeah, that book looked a little wonky. | 13:49 |
| brousch | why is it that every 4 months i have to go over the tax code with our accountants because they disbelieve what my program is telling them to pay? | 14:35 |
| rick_h_ | well are you an accountant? | 14:36 |
| rick_h_ | how can you know the program is still right? | 14:36 |
| brousch | because the progam hasn't changed and the laws haven't changed | 14:37 |
| brousch | use tax always trips them up | 14:37 |
| brousch | we pay use tax based on material we've bought and put towards a job + some % of the labor we've done on the job | 14:37 |
| rick_h_ | I want to see the unit tests before I'll believe it | 14:37 |
| rick_h_ | "SHOW ME THE TESTS!" | 14:38 |
| devinheitmueller | I trust the software more than the accountants. | 14:38 |
| devinheitmueller | ;-) | 14:38 |
| brousch | heh, this is literally the one thing i have here that has audit capability | 14:38 |
| brousch | i have no tests on anything else | 14:38 |
| rick_h_ | hmmm, makers day http://goo.gl/MGQm8 | 14:55 |
| krondor | rick_h_++ forwarded to managers great idea, estimate of traction 1.0% | 15:21 |
| krondor | I'd settle for just a no meeting day | 15:21 |
| rick_h_ | krondor: yea, it was the best thing of when I worked at Morpace. Whenever someone wanted to do meetings I'd be like "Well, I'm only in the office Tues/Thurs so pick one of those" | 15:22 |
| rick_h_ | and I knew I'd have nothing on MWF | 15:22 |
| krondor | I should just start blocking out time on my calendar for work so the PMs see it as busy | 15:25 |
| rick_h_ | worth a good shot | 15:27 |
| rick_h_ | brousch: for your responsive design talk next time: http://www.welcomebrand.co.uk/thoughts/youre-not-at-the-cutting-edge-and-thats-fine/ | 16:05 |
| brousch | i was going to go with "YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG. FIX YOUR CRAP NOW" | 16:06 |
| snap-l | I love that concept | 16:33 |
| snap-l | I don't like the concept of no-email days, though | 16:34 |
| snap-l | but I'm fully behind giving permission to not have to respond to e-mail | 16:34 |
| snap-l | (ie: collect, process optional, review & do for that e-mail doesn't happen until tomorrow) | 16:35 |
| snap-l | krondor: I used to do that at Ford / Chrysler for my weekly review | 16:36 |
| * snap-l was in a town-hall meeting, so I'm a bit behind in scrollback. ;) | 16:37 | |
| rick_h_ | heh, how's the town going? :) | 16:37 |
| snap-l | Town is doing well, but vikings are still approaching | 16:41 |
| shakes808 | javascript question: Is there a way to make it default to landscape view when printing? | 17:27 |
| rick_h_ | http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7722453/print-to-hardcopy-using-javascript-landscape-mode | 17:29 |
| rick_h_ | generally nope | 17:29 |
| shakes808 | didn't think so. CSS won't work for me. Gotta go through the software | 17:31 |
| shakes808 | :( | 17:31 |
| shakes808 | That is what I have been finding | 17:31 |
| shakes808 | Thank you | 17:31 |
| shakes808 | found some CSS and tried to implement it and it didn't work for another issue I was having | 17:32 |
| brousch | i think printing is 9in the hands of the user | 17:34 |
| brousch | which is where it should be | 17:34 |
| brousch | i really don't want random website controlling my printing | 17:34 |
| * greg-g agrees | 17:34 | |
| greg-g | my printer, my choice | 17:35 |
| greg-g | I may have a dang good reason to do portrait | 17:35 |
| brousch | best you could do is maybe generate landscape PDF | 17:35 |
| rick_h_ | yea, but you do get lazy users that go "hey, this page is wide, I keep forgetting to set it to landscape, why won't it just do it for me?" | 17:35 |
| * rick_h_ has had to do a bunch of that crap | 17:35 | |
| snap-l | I'm just going to let this little fart off in church: The Android todotxt app is likely going to make me switch back to todotxt | 19:39 |
| brousch | snap-l: did you ever blog about your adventures in todo apps? | 19:41 |
| snap-l | Yeah, a long time ago | 19:43 |
| Blazeix | good news, js mvc frameworks have todo list apps down pat | 19:43 |
| snap-l | http://decafbad.net/index.php?s=todo&x=0&y=0 | 19:43 |
| snap-l | Blazeix: har har | 19:43 |
| snap-l | Blazeix: And they all suck | 19:44 |
| Blazeix | http://addyosmani.github.com/todomvc/ :) | 19:44 |
| brousch | snap-l: there is no year on your blog post dates. kindly diaf | 19:45 |
| Blazeix | the url has it | 19:46 |
| snap-l | brousch: There is, just not on the side | 19:46 |
| brousch | FAIL | 19:48 |
| snap-l | brousch: I'll gladly give you a refund | 19:49 |
| brousch | it is a pet peeve. i will require $1M compensation for the affects on my health due to the anger you have induced | 19:50 |
| snap-l | How about this: I give you a pat on the head at PyOhio, and don't kick you in the nuts | 19:52 |
| snap-l | I think that's fair. | 19:52 |
| brousch | that doesn't seem fair | 19:52 |
| snap-l | OK, you can have the kick in the nuts, but that's my final offer. | 19:52 |
| brousch | that's more like it | 19:53 |
| snap-l | Never let it be said I was unreasonable. | 19:53 |
| brousch | i love it. i just installed MS office 97 on a win7 computer. it dropped a IE3 installed on the desktop | 19:55 |
| brousch | installer | 19:55 |
| greg-g | lol | 19:55 |
| _stink_ | haha | 19:55 |
| Blazeix | office 97? for the love of god, why? | 19:56 |
| brousch | you don't want to know | 19:56 |
| _stink_ | oh yes we do | 19:56 |
| Blazeix | he missed clippy :( | 19:57 |
| brousch | hah, i know how to install without clippy | 19:57 |
| brousch | 1/3 of our business applications are custom access97 databases | 19:58 |
| brousch | my goal in life is to replace them with python | 19:58 |
| snap-l | 1997 called. They want to know how the weather is | 20:00 |
| greg-g | warmer | 20:01 |
| snap-l | That's what I told them | 20:02 |
| snap-l | Also, Apple was a good buy | 20:02 |
| snap-l | They laughed | 20:02 |
| greg-g | :) | 20:02 |
| snap-l | They muttered something about OS/2, and Netscape | 20:03 |
| snap-l | Whatever that is | 20:03 |
| greg-g | you're just baiting jcastro | 20:03 |
| brousch | heh, another awesome thing, the access97 database was originally designed for 800x600 monitors. it is using like 15% of the screenspace on this 27" monitor | 20:20 |
