rick_h_crap, was checking out the regular rides the local bike group does and the only one I can make is a 45mi weekend ride...ouch!00:16
jrwreni did the 2 command lxc thing today. totally sweet. soooo easy and powerful and awesome.01:10
rick_h_awesome, I need to play with lxc some01:15
jrwreni'm very impressed01:18
rick_h_it's getting a lot of use with things lately and growing up quick I think01:23
jrwreni just love that its kinda a VM, but not.01:27
jrwrenso I'm still running on bare metal, but I can do things like have a completely different apt environment and dev env and stuff01:27
rick_h_yea, you're supposed to be able to make it a juju target I believe01:29
rick_h_and there's a team using lxc containers to parrallelize launchpad tests01:29
rick_h_since it's same machine easier to get setup, but allows for diff cpu/cores to do the cranking01:30
jrwrenoh yeah, lxc deb ships with templates and one of htem is ubuntu-cloud01:52
jrwrenjuju OOTB with it01:52

shakes808Did You Know? A polar bear's skin is black. Its fur is not white, but actually clear.12:16
shakes808Just thought you all would like to know that :D12:16
brousch6pm12:16
CrusaderADI'd have to leave at 3 or 4... what are they covering? do they have a site?12:17
brouschusing pyserial with a variety of serial devices12:19
brouschhttp://grpug.org12:19
jrwrenthe other thing cool about lxc is that its not a VM. if testdrive optionally moves to lxc it will highly benefit from memory sharing.13:24
jrwrena polar bear's skin is black? really? fur is clear? then why does it look white?13:26
snap-ljrwren: Refraction, iirc.13:41
rick_h_GGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH14:12
brouschrick_h_++14:51
brouschit took me 2 hours to figure out how to bold some text in autocad using c#14:52
rick_h_the great coding gods giveth...and they taketh...14:52
brouschthis is a miserable experience14:52
shakes808lol14:52
jrwrencom interop is always a bitch.14:52
shakes808At least you got it to do something :D14:52
brousch.net14:52
jrwrennah, the .net part is easy.14:53
jrwrenare you at least using C#4 where you can use optional and default params with your com interop?14:53
shakes808How are you liking VS?14:53
brouscha crappy thing is i have to start autocad, issue the netload command, select my dll, run my command, then close autocad to modify the project14:53
brouschso every little change i want to try requires me to open and close autocad. i've done it like 1000 times trying to bold14:54
brouschvisual studio is fine. it's the autocad .net api docs and lack of netunload that are miserable14:55
brouschi can't believe people actually write whole programs in this thing14:56
shakes808C# or the autocad stuff?14:56
brouschautocad14:58
brouschi used to think autocad addons were way overpriced, now that i see the pain they go through i think they are dirt cheap14:58
