[02:09] <wab> Hello!
[02:10] <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.
[02:16] <snap-l> HI wab
[02:17] <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
[02:18] <wab> Sorry for the RTFM question
[02:18] <snap-l> np, we're here to help. :)
[12:18] <shakes808> Good morning all
[12:18] <rick_h_> party
[12:19] <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
[12:20] <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
[12:21] <shakes808> Next week we can try to get some of my computer set up properly and get me on the right track ;)
[12:23] <shakes808> Here you all go :D http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Death-Star-10188;jsessionid=d9wqUzpoqQzPpM4E7MyMMw**.lego-ps-2-2
[12:29] <rick_h_> bah, I can't find Mike's photos of the death star assembly: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mikepirnat/sets/72157629129626695/
[12:32] <brousch> $400
[12:32] <brousch> crazy
[12:33] <brousch> 2560x1440 on 27" is overwhelming
[12:34] <rick_h_> hah, time to get a pair of those :P
[12:38] <shakes808> lol that is awesome
[12:43] <brousch> i have to turn my head to view the edge
[13:42] <rick_h_> heh, glad I didn't get that code simplicity book now: http://goo.gl/SBkXQ
[13:47] <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
[13:49] <snap-l> rick_h_: Yeah, that book looked a little wonky.
[14:35] <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?
[14:36] <rick_h_> well are you an accountant?
[14:36] <rick_h_> how can you know the program is still right?
[14:37] <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
[14:38] <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
[14:55] <rick_h_> hmmm, makers day http://goo.gl/MGQm8
[15:21] <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
[15:22] <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
[15:25] <krondor> I should just start blocking out time on my calendar for work so the PMs see it as busy
[15:27] <rick_h_> worth a good shot
[16:05] <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/
[16:06] <brousch> i was going to go with "YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG. FIX YOUR CRAP NOW"
[16:33] <snap-l> I love that concept
[16:34] <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
[16:35] <snap-l> (ie: collect, process optional, review & do for that e-mail doesn't happen until tomorrow)
[16:36] <snap-l> 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] <rick_h_> heh, how's the town going? :)
[16:41] <snap-l> Town is doing well, but vikings are still approaching
[17:27] <shakes808> javascript question: Is there a way to make it default to landscape view when printing?
[17:29] <rick_h_> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7722453/print-to-hardcopy-using-javascript-landscape-mode
[17:29] <rick_h_> generally nope
[17:31] <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
[17:32] <shakes808> found some CSS and tried to implement it and it didn't work for another issue I was having
[17:34] <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
[17:35] <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
[19:39] <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
[19:41] <brousch> snap-l: did you ever blog about your adventures in todo apps?
[19:43] <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
[19:44] <snap-l> Blazeix: And they all suck
[19:44] <Blazeix> http://addyosmani.github.com/todomvc/ :)
[19:45] <brousch> snap-l: there is no year on your blog post dates. kindly diaf
[19:46] <Blazeix> the url has it
[19:46] <snap-l> brousch: There is, just not on the side
[19:48] <brousch> FAIL
[19:49] <snap-l> brousch: I'll gladly give you a refund
[19:50] <brousch> it is a pet peeve. i will require $1M compensation for the affects on my health due to the anger you have induced
[19:52] <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.
[19:53] <brousch> that's more like it
[19:53] <snap-l> Never let it be said I was unreasonable.
[19:55] <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
[19:56] <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
[19:57] <Blazeix> he missed clippy :(
[19:57] <brousch> hah, i know how to install without clippy
[19:58] <brousch> 1/3 of our business applications are custom access97 databases
[19:58] <brousch> my goal in life is to replace them with python
[20:00] <snap-l> 1997 called. They want to know how the weather is
[20:01] <greg-g> warmer
[20:02] <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> :)
[20:03] <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
[20:20] <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
