Blazeixhas anyone looked at knockout.js? MS seems to be pushing it pretty hard, but all the html data-bind stuff is scaring me01:21
rick_h_phew, 18.02mi !01:32
rick_h_Blazeix: yea, the author was on a JS podcast I listen to01:33
rick_h_Blazeix: it's suppsed to enable some better UI/data model iteractions, but not sure on that myself01:33
Blazeixi just finished watching the intro video, and i think it convinced me not to use it01:33
rick_h_might be good to listen to him explain it on the podcast01:33
rick_h_k, yea it doesn't sound like it's for me, he says it fits really well with the MS MVC web stuff01:33
Blazeixstoring a bunch of javascript statements as strings in dom attributes sounds terrible01:34
rick_h_yea01:34
Blazeixright, it's very silverlighty/WPFy01:34
rick_h_http://javascriptjabber.com/ though for future reference01:34
Blazeixcool01:35
Blazeixthanks01:35
jrwrenknockout is shit AFAIK01:50
jrwrenactually, i odn't know at all.01:50
jrwrenbut IIRC people I trust (coworkers at SRT) found knockout to be inferior to something else.01:51
rick_h_well, it's levels, there are layers to frameworks01:51
jrwrenyeah01:51
rick_h_the simple (webob), another layer (pyramid), and the grand daddies (django)01:51
jrwrenoh.01:51
jrwreni was looking at knockout just as knockout01:52
jrwrenfor use wiht any server side01:52
jrwrenbackbone I think was what they went with instead?01:55
jrwrenunless I have those backwards.01:55
rick_h_yea, backbone is a bit simpler though01:55
rick_h_yea, backbone is the jquery of the MVC JS land01:55
Blazeixright, backbone is more of a library than a framework01:58
Blazeixinteresting... http://kmalakoff.github.com/knockback/02:00
rick_h_morning party people11:17
shakes808Good morning11:47
snap-lGood morning12:40
locodir-usergood day12:44
locodir-userI thought I would be clever and when I installed ubuntu in a dual boot, use a new password. So naturally I immediately forgot what I used. I have no problem reinstalling ubuntu but how do i completely uninstall it?12:44
brouschyou can re-install using the regular installer12:45
brouschwhen it get to the hard disk part you can tell it to wipe the old partition and install it new12:46
locodir-userin windows i can not see wich partition it was installed in12:47
locodir-userI want to avoid haveing 2 ubuntu instalations and not being able to tell wich is wich12:49
brouschwhen you boot from the livecd/usb you will be able to see the partitions12:51
locodir-userin the built in partition manager? (part of the installer?)12:53
brouschright12:53
locodir-userthank you - this is my first time using linux and so far idk if i will like it, but this was my fault and i will keep trying to give it a fiar go12:55
rick_h_brousch: can't you just boot into single user mode and change the password?12:55
brouschi think so, but i don't know how12:55
rick_h_http://askubuntu.com/questions/73442/how-do-i-login-in-single-user-mode12:55
rick_h_maybe?12:55
rick_h_anyway, crazy day today, but wanted to toss out fixing the passwd vs reinstalling if possible12:56
brouschyeah, good point12:57
locodir-userdoes not explain how to change passowrd?13:00
brouschonce you have the command prompt you can just use the normal password commands13:03
brouschpasswd username13:04
rick_h_brousch: yea, but new to linux, I'm guessing passwd $username isn't on the first command list :)13:04
locodir-userwell ... i will ask google thank you for your help13:04
brouschhm13:05
snap-lrick_h_: http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/148677/why-is-80-characters-the-standard-limit-for-code-width13:55
rick_h_snap-l: 7pt font is approx 9px wide per char. 80 char * 3 windows = 2160px wide (just over the 1920 of HD)13:58
rick_h_and if you pick the right font, you can get that width down enough to get 3 files side v side13:58
rick_h_that's the history of 80 col :P13:58
rick_h_snap-l: but interesting note. I knew of the 80 char old terminals, but not punch cards13:59
snap-lrick_h_: That's why god invented buffers13:59
snap-land 132 column terminals.13:59
rick_h_can you see buffers at the same time?13:59
rick_h_especially on a day like today...code review day. Lots of side by side13:59
snap-lYes, stacked on top of each other.13:59
rick_h_fail14:00
greg-gI just have multiple transparent terminals on top of each other14:00
greg-gI tab the code around so I can read it better when needed14:00
* greg-g wonders if he did the dead pan thing too well there14:01
MilyardoI don't use a windows or buffers, for the code I write need only be written once, I just echo my code and redirect it to  a file.14:04
brouschi let eclipse handle it all for me automagically14:08

AaronThulAnyone know if I should use Net::RabbitMQ vs Net::AMQP?14:27
rick_h_AaronThul: just from seeing the names I'd imagine that AMQP would work with other AMQP compat/non-rabbit servers14:29
rick_h_while RabbitMQ would do some Rabbit specific fancy bits, like perhaps the mgt interface/etc14:29
rick_h_so either should pump jobs through the system14:29
brouschis rabbit the queue of choice these days?14:37
rick_h_depends on your needs14:38
rick_h_honestly, I'd just be using Amazon SQS if the celery stuff was working ootb with it, but hit issues using it14:38
rick_h_and 0mq is a great tool to build a queue with lol14:39
AaronThulgrr my computer and I just had an argument, what was that last suggestion?15:05
ColonelPanic001sadly, looks like the computer was winning.15:13
AaronThulWell was more an internet problem, to many people on this wifi here at pgcon15:13
ColonelPanic001oh sure, find a scapegoat to defend the computer.15:14
ColonelPanic001I forgot you're heavy in to pg stuff.15:14
ColonelPanic001we just switched our plans to use MongoDB for a project to PG instead. Mainly because the guy mainly doing it originally kept seeing all these cool things being done using Mongo, and said he then suddenly realized they all were having problems and switching anyway. heh15:15
ColonelPanic001looking over the schedule, a few names familiar. Must have seen them when I went to the Ontario Linuxfest when that was still going15:17
ColonelPanic001I'm sure I've heard of Bruce Momjian somewhere15:17
snap-lhttps://www.system76.com/desktops/model/ratp1 <- Tempting.16:02
rick_h_yea, I'm getting tempted to go get a real desktop and not upgrade the laptop for a while16:04
rick_h_honestly it does most things well, but man those test runs would be a lot nicer if they were faster16:05
shakes808rick_h_: what about your awesome dock setup :D16:06
rick_h_shakes808: well if I went desktop I'd end up getting an ati triple head card and driving all three monitors off of it16:06
rick_h_the laptop would only be for travel then16:06
shakes808Gotcha. Everything is online and accessible regardless so it wouldn't make too much of a difference16:07
rick_h_yea, I mean it would require more syncing up than I do now16:08
rick_h_but thinking about it16:08
rick_h_I got the last laptop when I had to go into the office16:08
shakes808And now that you are working from home, you wouldn't have to use it but every Wednesday and every second Tuesday ;)16:09
rick_h_well, I do go to the coffee shop every day16:09
rick_h_but yea, I spend more hours behind my desk than not these days16:09
shakes808You keep that coffee shop open lol16:09
rick_h_let's just say they only have to ask me "hot or cold" when I walk in16:09
rick_h_and everything else is done :)16:09
jrwreni hate debian sometimes.16:10

snap-lhttp://www.engadget.com/2012/05/15/Lenovo-ThinkPad-refresh/16:19
rick_h_and like that snap-l gets me back off the desktop route16:20
rick_h_but man..."retooled keyboards" scares me!16:20
snap-lHope you like the keyboard. :)16:20
snap-lLooks like they like the Apple-style keyboards. ;)16:21
snap-lChicklet 4EVA16:21
rick_h_bah16:21
rick_h_booo power port in the back16:21
rick_h_finger print reader on the display?!16:22
rick_h_lol, and wtf is the big red button?16:22
rick_h_bah, still vga out16:23
rick_h_I guess it does have a display port as well16:27
rick_h_hah, reading the comments on there makes me want to start a thinkpad user group16:36
brouschheh, i was listening to the holden interview on the 'from python import podcast' podcast and a familiar voice piped up16:36
rick_h_:)16:36
krondoris it wrong for me to lament impress.js lack of markdown and code block support?  bah today is turning into a crap shoot.16:39
rick_h_krondor: you're supposed to look at that as a pull request oppertunity16:39
rick_h_or better yet...forget markdown and go rst!16:39
krondorthe thought crossed my mind.. wait rst?  Did I just learn something today?16:40
rick_h_rst is to python what markdown is for everyone else for some reason16:40
rick_h_well mainly because of sphinx I think http://sphinx.pocoo.org/16:40
krondorhttp://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html the right place?  Reading....16:41
rick_h_yea16:42
rick_h_http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/rst/quickref.html for the quick reference16:42
snap-lThat site will put you off rst by itself16:43
snap-lyou need to play with it offline16:43
rick_h_yea16:43
krondorlol ok, TIL about RST != crap shoot, though not what I needed to get done.16:43
krondorI was going to say, not the best looking site to show you a formatting syntax :P16:43
snap-lYeah, it's no daring fireball16:44
rick_h_but basically if someone is doing python you'll find rst16:44
rick_h_love --------------------- underline vs the stupid ====Heading==== crap16:44
krondoryeah markdown confused me with its #thing# ##thing## ==wait isn't this like##? lol16:45
rick_h_https://raw.github.com/mitechie/breadability/master/README.rst16:45
krondoror wait I screwed the pooch on that (hate this expression) __## whatever16:45
krondorah so this is that breadability stuff that I've been seeing on my g+ feed.  Damnit you guys are going to get me into python aren't you.16:51
rick_h_krondor: yea, but just an example rst doc16:53
greg-gso, when is Unity going to get multimonitor support? :) (as in, when I switch from dual to single the windows do something not entirely insane, like put themselves across multiple desktops)17:03
brouschthat reminds me. had unity with projector fail yesterday17:05
greg-g:(17:06
greg-grick_h_: oh, re thinkpad refresh, that keyboard looks even worse than my x220 :(17:07
rick_h_greg-g: yea, in the comments is an employee tring to make everyone feel better17:07
rick_h_but that's pretty helpless17:07
rick_h_honestly though...unless some other laptop does the trackpoint with 3 buttons I'm basically trapped17:07
rick_h_I don't know I could ever do a touchpad17:08
rick_h_I'm hoping the new ones bring back the option to ditch the pad altogether17:08
rick_h_I <3 that about my 20117:08
brouschrick_h_: you have 5 fingers to use a touchpad17:09
rick_h_brousch: right...because I've got 3 hands17:10
rick_h_ummm not! :P17:10
rick_h_I've got two a finger and a thumb, rest are on home row17:10
brouschyou can do a middle click with 3 fingers or something17:10
rick_h_no, I don't want to have to move my hands aroud the keyboard17:11
brouschfootmouse17:12
jrwrenwtf:/usr/games/espdiff17:12
jrwrenwtf... man espdiff <-- stupid!17:14
greg-gtotally a game in my mind17:15
greg-grick_h_: yeah, I'm going to have to just upgrade my x201 with a new SSD and more RAM (max it out) and hold on to it as long as I can17:15
jrwrenits so dumb17:16
jrwrenit angers me17:16
rick_h_greg-g: yea, I guess I'll have to give it a chance. I don't think it'll be going back17:17
greg-gyeah, doesn't sound like it, with the "hours" they put into testing the new keyboard :(17:19
brouschut oh, all this thinkpad change talk has given rick_h_ a stroke17:26
brousch"mitechie 1:24pm via Webman I wish we docs on our packages"17:26
rick_h_no, that's my new project. I need to figure out how our SSO stuff works17:27
rick_h_not a doc to be found...oh sure...a couple of doctests17:27
rick_h_but how about a freaking list of api methods?!17:28
rick_h_sample use case api calls/sequence?17:28
rick_h_nope... *sigh*17:28
brouschi was commenting on the grammar17:28
rick_h_oh...I do love how Web and man got put together into Webman17:29
brouschbleh, that's just the paste17:29
shakes808Has anyone rooted thier phone?17:44
brouschyes17:45
shakes808So how do I get rid of the pre-installed apps? ... without paying for an app. I got a terminal emulator but can't find the directory that they are in.17:46
shakes808Do you know which directory I need to go to?17:46
brouschit's safest to use a "freezing" app17:48
shakes808what is that?17:48
brouschhttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ramdroid.appquarantine&hl=en17:50
brouschquarantines apps you don't want, just in case removing it would cause big trouble17:50
rick_h_lmao: Integrating your app with Ubuntu SSO17:53
rick_h_"TODO"17:53
shakes808I will try it out, thank you17:53
shakes808with this app, can I delete them or it just hides the services?18:02
shakes808I am looking to delete a handful of apps completely off18:08
shakes808found one, Root Uninstall18:35
shakes808works nicely so far.18:35
shakes808:D18:35
krondorshakes808:  a little known feature of titanium backup (besides being awesome at backing up your phone) is that it can remove unwanted apps.18:39
shakes808with the free ver?18:39
krondorhmm, I have the pay version, so not sure.  Checking...18:40
krondorlooks like free version can18:41
shakes808Cool. Maybe I will download that to see if it picks up anything that I already uninstalled18:41
shakes808Doesn't look like it is freeing up any space... ?18:42
shakes808huh18:42
shakes808with it being rooted, I can go into the Sprint Hotspot app and use it as one free now right?18:43
krondorprobably not with the sprint app, you'd want to use the native tether apps (might not have the bits for that installed natively on your rom), or install something like wifi-tether18:44
krondorsometimes the built in bloatware apps aren't installed on your main data partition.  Might be why you don't see your space coming back.18:45
shakes808Gotchya.18:45
shakes808How do I make it all one partition?18:45
krondoryou're always going to have at least three partitions (ideally) /system /data /cache, but if you have more than that with bloatware not much you can do without reinstalling the OS (ie loading a new rom).  I recommend Cyanogenmod if you go that route.18:47
shakes808I can't just change the sizes? Like when loading in Ubuntu, I can adjust the size of the partitions with the partition manager18:48
krondornot easily .. they're not LVM.  It's an embedded OS to an extent18:48
shakes808krondor: titanium backup is nice too. :D19:52
shakes808krondor: What other little tid bits do you got for me ;) LOL19:52
