| rick_h_ | man, even TWiT is getting hard to listen to any longer | 03:05 |
|---|---|---|
| snap-l | What happened now? | 03:10 |
| rick_h_ | just listening to the latest podcast | 03:10 |
| rick_h_ | hard to listen to, just seems sucky | 03:10 |
| snap-l | who did they have on? | 03:10 |
| rick_h_ | John C, the guy in Tx, and someone else | 03:10 |
| rick_h_ | last few have been a bit hard to get through though imo | 03:11 |
| snap-l | Harry McCracken | 03:11 |
| snap-l | He's got a voice for print | 03:11 |
| snap-l | Plus the topics are pretty meh | 03:12 |
| rick_h_ | yea | 03:12 |
| snap-l | I find the ones I listen to are TWIG and Scurity Now | 03:13 |
| rick_h_ | yea, but twig can get kind of nuts and over their head | 03:13 |
| snap-l | mostly because they tend to stay on some semblence of a target | 03:13 |
| rick_h_ | I've never gotten into security now | 03:13 |
| snap-l | It's OK. It's a little basic at times, but it makes for light listening when doing the dishes | 03:13 |
| snap-l | A thte very least, I feel like I got what I put into it | 03:14 |
| rick_h_ | what's his name gets a bit predicable and carries on too much if you listen for a long time | 03:14 |
| snap-l | SOmetimes I get that with TWiG | 03:14 |
| rick_h_ | Jarvis, he's starting to turn into nails on chalkboard | 03:14 |
| snap-l | Jeff Jarvis? | 03:14 |
| snap-l | Heh | 03:14 |
| snap-l | He doesn't bother me that much, but he does get into his grooves | 03:15 |
| rick_h_ | he didn't before, but you bring up a topic and I can almost tell you what he's going to say | 03:15 |
| rick_h_ | and when he tries to hang in the developer bits I roll my eyes :P | 03:16 |
| rick_h_ | anyway, past my bed time. See you all later. | 03:16 |
| snap-l | Laterness. :) | 03:16 |
| rick_h_ | morning | 11:25 |
| rick_h_ | doh, was just a bit too early with my morning to catch brousch | 11:26 |
| brousch | i am here | 11:39 |
| brousch | sorry, left my computer open all night. it may have given the impression that i was actually looking | 11:39 |
| shakes808 | Morning all | 11:40 |
| brousch | Morning one | 11:43 |
| rick_h_ | ugh, so tired | 11:44 |
| rick_h_ | and damn, weekend w/o contacts and not the left one one get comfy today | 11:44 |
| brousch | You'd better fix that before you blow up Launchpad with typos ;) | 11:46 |
| rick_h_ | boom! | 11:47 |
| rick_h_ | no, it'll just make me hate this django stuff more :P | 11:47 |
| brousch | What'll it take to get you to ride the pink pony with pride and happiness? | 11:49 |
| rick_h_ | rm -rf django | 11:50 |
| rick_h_ | git xa "Remove django" && git push origin :master | 11:50 |
| brousch | Did you see my PyOhio talk ideas email? | 11:53 |
| rick_h_ | brousch: no, where did you send it? | 11:54 |
| brousch | ubuntu-us-mi email list | 11:54 |
| rick_h_ | oh, yea no I don't read that very often | 11:54 |
| brousch | heh | 11:54 |
| brousch | I haven't gotten any responses from that list. Its possible it failed | 11:55 |
| rick_h_ | no, I see it now | 11:55 |
| brousch | All bed? | 12:02 |
| brousch | bad? | 12:02 |
| rick_h_ | no, good stuff | 12:02 |
| rick_h_ | the last one would be interesting from the py3 angle, but you might get some big time framework people in there so beware | 12:03 |
| rick_h_ | the first one is cool, pyohio, intro stuff is good | 12:03 |
| rick_h_ | the second one I'm not sure just because of how big/vague it can be | 12:03 |
| brousch | yeah, i would make sure it's know #3 is a beginner level talk | 12:04 |
| brousch | #2 would be a series of "Here's an open source program that does cool stuff. Here's how you can use Python in it" | 12:05 |
| brousch | I've only seen Mark Ramm at PyOhio. What other framework people have been there? | 12:08 |
| rick_h_ | there's some django higher ups (they were ones staying my SA tutorial last year) | 12:08 |
| rick_h_ | and just that there's lots to get told how to do/fix/etc in the web framework world | 12:08 |
| brousch | I put the Django one on there because there was nothing last year. Bunch of geekers. | 12:10 |
| rick_h_ | yea, and I'd ping the pyohio guys on that one just in case several people notice that and submit similar topics | 12:10 |
| rick_h_ | but if no one has, that's a really good beginner thing to have there | 12:11 |
| brousch | Devlin and Floehr are both on the GRPUG list, so I was hoping they'd notice | 12:12 |
| brousch | snap-l: http://entertainment.slashdot.org/story/12/05/29/0015231/open-source-bach-project-completed-score-and-recording-now-online | 12:18 |
| snap-l | brousch: That's pretty cool | 12:19 |
| snap-l | brousch: This is indeed a find. | 13:21 |
| snap-l | I have a few copies of the Goldberg Variations, and this is right up there. | 13:21 |
| brousch | I'LL HAVE TO GIVE IT A LISTEN | 13:22 |
| brousch | sorry | 13:23 |
| snap-l | OK!!!! | 13:23 |
| brousch | NOW READ MY EMAIL AND GIVE ME YOUR OPINION | 13:25 |
| rick_h_ | http://blog.bitly.com/post/23998132587/welcome-to-the-new-bitly | 15:31 |
| snap-l | bitmarks | 15:31 |
| snap-l | Interesting | 15:32 |
| brousch | utoh | 15:32 |
| rick_h_ | it's the old delicious | 15:32 |
| rick_h_ | don't do content though still | 15:32 |
| rick_h_ | iphone app, wonder if it works mobile | 15:32 |
| rick_h_ | I'm sure they'll add it though | 15:33 |
| snap-l | This confuses me: I'm not sure how to rage-quit it. :) | 15:33 |
| snap-l | THERE IS CHANGE! I MUST RAGEQUIT CHANGE! | 15:34 |
| rick_h_ | it does make perfect sense for3 bitly though, have to give them credit for finally doing it | 15:34 |
| snap-l | I <3 impersonal e-mails from Best Buy | 16:42 |
| snap-l | "Just a quick note to say thank you for your recent purchase. We hope you love every second of your new technology." | 16:42 |
| snap-l | We bought a refrigerator for my father-in-law. | 16:42 |
| snap-l | I'm sure he's eagerly reading the manaul as we speak, looking through the vast options of enjoyment | 16:42 |
| snap-l | "It has 6 settings, 0 - 5" | 16:43 |
| snap-l | Woooooooow. | 16:43 |
| rick_h_ | about time you joined the modern age | 17:03 |
| rick_h_ | can you even toss out that old 'ice box'? | 17:03 |
| brousch | Ooooh 50% off all Javascript O'Reilly books | 17:14 |
| snap-l | rick_h_: He had an older Haier college-dorm-room fridge that just up and quit | 17:22 |
| snap-l | so we got him a new one. (assisted living, blah blah) | 17:22 |
| snap-l | brousch: I think ihave 50% of them. | 17:23 |
| brousch | now you can get the other 50% for 50% off! | 17:23 |
| rick_h_ | I can probably give you the other 50% :P | 17:23 |
| snap-l | Wow, lots of new ones. | 17:23 |
| rick_h_ | linky? | 17:23 |
| snap-l | http://oreilly.com/javascript/index.html | 17:23 |
| snap-l | I really hate the titles that are essentially blog posts. | 17:24 |
| snap-l | http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920025887.do?code=CFFCJS | 17:24 |
| snap-l | 20 pages? Seriously? | 17:24 |
| snap-l | Although it's free. | 17:24 |
| snap-l | Hmm. | 17:24 |
| brousch | FREE | 17:25 |
| snap-l | (*whistles*) | 17:25 |
| brousch | If it's free, gimme three! | 17:25 |
| * snap-l spent enough time on the west-side to have the free bug | 17:25 | |
| snap-l | http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920022565.do <- wtf? | 17:26 |
| snap-l | I have never heard of this | 17:26 |
| snap-l | http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/ | 17:27 |
| snap-l | ye gods | 17:27 |
| rick_h_ | me either | 17:27 |
| rick_h_ | there goes snap-l ... | 17:27 |
| * snap-l and complex video games do not go hand-in-hand | 17:28 | |
| snap-l | I like challenge. I don't like having 500 things to remember | 17:28 |
| snap-l | and I HATE grinding in video games | 17:29 |
| _stink_ | Final Fantasy 1, anyone? | 17:30 |
| _stink_ | i remember that as the definition of grinding in a video game. | 17:31 |
| greg-g | snap-l: my buddy @pete is really into dwarf fortress | 17:31 |
| snap-l | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grinding_(video_gaming) | 17:31 |
| greg-g | he was telling me the rules regarding lava and animal cages, holy batman complex | 17:32 |
| snap-l | heh | 17:33 |
| _stink_ | yeah | 17:33 |
| snap-l | The ones that irk me are how you're supposed to be a great warrior, yet after the fifth attack by a roly poly duck and a man-eating plant, you're essentially rubbish | 17:34 |
| _stink_ | leveling up because the next major step has mobs too hard for now | 17:34 |
| greg-g | I mean, 15 years ago and I would be all over that kind of stuff, but now, not so much | 17:34 |
| snap-l | Yeah, I have enough games that I don't play because of that | 17:34 |
| rick_h_ | note to self, don't ever start a grep that grabs the django source on accident | 17:35 |
| snap-l | I guess there's some thrill in seeing your level 1 fighter become a major player, but I'd rather play a game than clock-in | 17:35 |
| snap-l | Also, collecting pointless side quests drives me insane | 17:35 |
| rick_h_ | come on, if you don't put in the time how can you expect to feel like you got your $60 worth? | 17:36 |
| greg-g | d00d, the journey IS the destination | 17:36 |
| snap-l | "You must save the world, but first my pig sty needs cleaning" | 17:36 |
| greg-g | This IS it. | 17:36 |

| rick_h_ | oops | 17:37 |
| snap-l | Heh, I think I need to turn off radio stream scrobbling | 17:54 |
| snap-l | JoDee is listening to UK radio, so I'm getting things like Blink 182, Keane, and Arctic Monkeys in my last.fm stream | 17:54 |
| snap-l | Oh fuck, now I'm listening to Adele | 17:55 |
| rick_h_ | heh, you should see my netflix suggestions on day | 17:55 |
| brousch | Sharing accounts like that is not a good idea. That's how I end up with Vince Gill and Enya in my streams | 17:56 |
| snap-l | rick_h_: Oh totally. JoDee watched some kung-fu movie. Now we're getting recommendations for other kung-fu movies | 17:56 |
| snap-l | brousch: That's grounds for divorce. | 17:56 |
| rick_h_ | I'm starting to get kids stuff based off the curious george and thomas the train, vampire stuff, nutsy things (she's watched archer, parks and rec) | 17:56 |
| rick_h_ | I feel like it's not even my account any more | 17:57 |
| brousch | Kung Pow! is the best Kung-fu movie | 17:57 |
| snap-l | I haven't seen Archer. How is that? | 17:57 |
| rick_h_ | I'm not a fan of that kind of thing | 17:57 |
| rick_h_ | but she loved it | 17:57 |
| rick_h_ | she watched them all and we bought the current one off amazon | 17:57 |
| snap-l | J started watching Eureka | 17:57 |
| brousch | I watched maybe 1.5 seasons of Eureka. It was OK | 17:57 |
| snap-l | Yeah, it looks like it could run out of steam pretty rapidly. | 17:58 |
| brousch | After I realized I had watched 4 episodes just for the smart, hot women, I stopped | 17:58 |
| snap-l | brousch: heh | 17:59 |
| snap-l | There we go. Listening to Goldberg Variations | 17:59 |
| snap-l | and not Adele. | 17:59 |
| * brousch is afraid to look up Adele | 18:00 | |
| greg-g | yay, goldberg variations! | 18:00 |
| snap-l | greg-g: The Kimiko Ishizaka ones released recently | 18:00 |
| greg-g | the public domain recordings? | 18:01 |
| greg-g | (right?) | 18:01 |
| snap-l | Yep | 18:01 |
| greg-g | yeah, downloaded them last night for this flight | 18:01 |
| greg-g | (and wee, the plane finally made it to the gate, only delayed like 30 minutes now) | 18:02 |
| rick_h_ | I still want one :/ | 19:35 |
| rick_h_ | http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2012/05/next-step-in-chrome-os-journey.html | 19:35 |
| brousch | So get one! | 19:35 |
| brousch | Unfortunately they aren't bringing the new interface to my Cr-48 :( | 19:36 |
| rick_h_ | yea, I gave my cr-48 to my brother who loves it | 19:36 |
| rick_h_ | sad it's not getting upgraded | 19:36 |
| brousch | One annoying thing is I reboot it way more often than Linux | 19:36 |
| rick_h_ | I'd love to get the wife the 'desktop' and take her laptop away | 19:36 |
| brousch | Seems to get locked up on Flash more frequently, and has frequent updates | 19:37 |
| rick_h_ | yea, but that's good that it's getting firmware updates | 19:37 |
| brousch | Also I think it has survived the longest of any of The Boy's computers | 19:38 |
| brousch | faiirly resistant to milk spills and crumbs in the keyboard | 19:38 |
| rick_h_ | yea, it's definitely the kind of thing I'd hand a kid | 19:38 |
| rick_h_ | I did like the cr-48 almost like a tablet, casual device | 19:39 |
| rick_h_ | sitting around the couch, hand to people that came over, etc | 19:39 |
| snap-l | Drupal is great right up until the second I use it | 19:46 |
| snap-l | then I want to shove it into a cannon and blast it into space. | 19:46 |
| rick_h_ | always been my experience | 19:47 |
| rick_h_ | and the review for the new chromebook http://goo.gl/a0T7y | 19:58 |
| snap-l | The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later. | 19:58 |
| brousch | snap-l++ | 20:01 |
| rick_h_ | oh hmm, worked for me | 20:01 |
| rick_h_ | well link is at the bottom there | 20:01 |
| rick_h_ | I'll have to figure out why that failed | 20:01 |
| rick_h_ | http://readable.bmark.us/view/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.readwriteweb.com%2Farchives%2Fnew-chromebook-chromebox-are-good-enough-to-grab-minds-market-share.php | 20:01 |
| rick_h_ | that work? | 20:01 |
| rick_h_ | nope | 20:02 |
| rick_h_ | oh, heh, the original server is having issues | 20:02 |
| rick_h_ | I got the error page from RWW | 20:02 |
| rick_h_ | nice, need to get my caching going on there so that when I share a link like that it just pulls the cache | 20:02 |
| snap-l | This will probably mean more to greg-g thank anyone here, but OMC now has it's own collection page: http://archive.org/details/openmetalcast | 22:42 |
| snap-l | I think it's still in the process of refreshing | 22:43 |
| gamerchick02 | oooh. that's pretty cool, snap-l | 22:48 |
| snap-l | Thanks, gamerchick02 | 22:48 |
| gamerchick02 | and hey, i'm here in the irc. i haven't been in a long long time. | 22:48 |
| gamerchick02 | for that, i feel bad. | 22:48 |
| snap-l | gamerchick02: Don't feel bad | 22:50 |
| snap-l | just get caught up, and life will be good | 22:50 |
| snap-l | life's too short for regret. | 22:50 |
| gamerchick02 | good point. i miss everyone here when i'm at work. | 22:50 |
| gamerchick02 | i doubt i can get leeway for IRC/web. | 22:50 |
| gamerchick02 | "you want to do what now?" | 22:51 |
| gamerchick02 | "no." | 22:51 |
| gamerchick02 | yep. that's the reaction i'll get from upper management. | 22:51 |
| gamerchick02 | i'm going to inflame the masses in here, but what do people think of the macbook air? | 22:58 |
| gamerchick02 | *awaits torches and pitchforks* | 22:58 |
| snap-l | gamerchick02: Well, if you want a macbook, and prize portabiity over performance, it's a good fit | 23:38 |
| snap-l | also good for cutting read | 23:38 |
| snap-l | bread | 23:38 |
| gamerchick02 | cutting bread? | 23:39 |
| gamerchick02 | referring to the sharp edge? | 23:39 |
| gamerchick02 | ;) | 23:39 |
| rick_h_ | gamerchick02: I think you have to state your OS choice before asking that question | 23:39 |
| rick_h_ | if you want OSX, many an OSX fan love it see jrwren | 23:39 |
| snap-l | and that's rick_h_, being diplomatic | 23:39 |
| gamerchick02 | i just need the thing for portable web and writing | 23:39 |
| gamerchick02 | i'm OS agnostic right now toward it | 23:40 |
| rick_h_ | if you want to run linux on it, then enjoy, it can be a bit bleeding edge with hardware though there are canonical employees that run it and some document getting bits to work | 23:40 |
| gamerchick02 | if i was going to get an ultrabook, i'd want ubuntu on it. | 23:40 |
| gamerchick02 | if i'm going to get an Air, i'll be running OSx. | 23:40 |
| rick_h_ | in a couple of weeks the new lenovos come out and I'm eagerly awaiting those | 23:40 |
| gamerchick02 | OSX, even. dangit | 23:40 |
| gamerchick02 | oooh. how are the prices and battery life on them? | 23:40 |
| rick_h_ | system76 annouced a couple of new laptops this past week | 23:40 |
| gamerchick02 | nothing small though. | 23:41 |
| rick_h_ | yea, looking now, guess not | 23:41 |
| gamerchick02 | i'm looking 11-13" | 23:41 |
| gamerchick02 | 14" is fine, but i can get a dell for cheaper in that category. and dells usually play well with ubuntu. | 23:42 |
| rick_h_ | hmmm, I need a way to dump an email thread from mutt | 23:42 |
| gamerchick02 | also: weight. | 23:42 |
| gamerchick02 | i have no idea how to do that, rick_h_. mutt? | 23:42 |
| gamerchick02 | i keep trying thunderbird but keep going back to gmail in the browser. | 23:43 |
| rick_h_ | yea, I've got a thread disucssing that from work | 23:43 |
| Milyardo | rick_h_: use alpine | 23:43 |
| * Milyardo ducks | 23:43 | |
| gamerchick02 | Milyardo, i used pine back in school | 23:43 |
| gamerchick02 | it was functional. and it made me feel geeky to use the text email thingo. :) | 23:43 |
| gamerchick02 | also, the webmail interface they had for the school email was bollacks. | 23:44 |
| rick_h_ | gamerchick02: check out the samsung series 9, asus zenbook, precise runs on the air well with one bug in booting that there's a work around for and some thunderbolt lacking since it's not fully supported in linux | 23:44 |
| gamerchick02 | ah. i will look at those too. thanks | 23:45 |
| rick_h_ | gamerchick02: those were the three discussed to varying degrees all with positive users | 23:45 |
| gamerchick02 | thank you. | 23:45 |
| rick_h_ | each has a small gotcha, if you want the details I can try to pull the messages out, but it's a 20ish message thread | 23:45 |
| gamerchick02 | what about battery life (that's the elephant in the room)? | 23:45 |
| rick_h_ | yea, most of them do well, the samsung not as good as the air, but over 4hrs it seems. | 23:46 |
| gamerchick02 | Apple claims 5 hours on the Air 11". | 23:46 |
| rick_h_ | tehse are all running ubuntu, so will vary | 23:46 |
| gamerchick02 | ah | 23:46 |
| gamerchick02 | ok | 23:46 |
| gamerchick02 | they claim 7 hours on the 13". | 23:46 |
| rick_h_ | just going off of what people said, no first hand knowledge here | 23:46 |
| gamerchick02 | but yes, i'm going to a build-your-own desktop (this weekend in fact) and some sort of portable (ultra-portable?) laptop. | 23:47 |
| snap-l | If you're looking for a basic thin, light, 11" ultrabook, the Thinkpads are also a nice choice. | 23:47 |
| gamerchick02 | :) i've heard loads of good things about the thinkpads. and they will run ubuntu with minimum of fuss, yes? | 23:47 |
| rick_h_ | yea | 23:47 |
| gamerchick02 | :-D sweet | 23:47 |
| rick_h_ | I'm going to be getting my 5th one I think | 23:47 |
| rick_h_ | or 6th | 23:47 |
| snap-l | I think 12.04 will run pretty well on the thinkpads. | 23:48 |
| gamerchick02 | you're almost married to the thinkpad. hah! | 23:48 |
| gamerchick02 | how long have you been using that brand, rick_h_? | 23:48 |
| snap-l | gamerchick02: I think it's a little more than marriage | 23:48 |
| rick_h_ | no one touches it, not my wife, my boy... | 23:48 |
| snap-l | more like symbiosis | 23:48 |
| gamerchick02 | it's your first love. | 23:48 |
| gamerchick02 | :-D | 23:48 |
| rick_h_ | well, I had a thinkpad and went away from it back around 2001 or 2 I think | 23:48 |
| rick_h_ | toshiba and dell, ran back to thinkpads ever since | 23:49 |
| gamerchick02 | over 10 years. wow. that's a good run on a brand | 23:49 |
| gamerchick02 | it has the rick_h_ seal of approval. | 23:49 |
| rick_h_ | everyone wants me to recommend a laptop and it's the only ones I'll vouch for | 23:49 |
| gamerchick02 | well. you know what you're talking about when it comes to computers. | 23:50 |
| gamerchick02 | so does everyone in this chat room. | 23:50 |
| gamerchick02 | we all have our favorite brands, but we know what we like. | 23:51 |
| gamerchick02 | *shrug* | 23:51 |
| snap-l | I knooooow what I liiiiike, and I liiiiike what I knoooow. | 23:53 |
| gamerchick02 | :-D | 23:53 |
| snap-l | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_EYU75uhKk | 23:54 |
| gamerchick02 | ok, switching to wireless. why is this not seamless? | 23:56 |
| gamerchick02 | i might go offline for a sec | 23:56 |
