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