smoserrick_h, good talk.00:01
smoserthe "live makefile creation" worked well00:01
* waldo323 nods!00:02
rick_hsmoser: thanks, I know you're note supposed to do a live demo00:04
rick_hbut couldn't think of a better way to 'understand' than to build small and up00:04
rick_hunfortnuately I just said I'd do this back at the last CHC wed so not a ton of practice lol00:04
rick_hand just noticed if I ssh into my lxc container no shell issues doh!00:04
smoseryeah.00:05
smoserits just the terminal on the console is less than perfect00:05
rick_hit's my first dinking around with lxc, I need to spend some time with it00:05
smoserbut through ssh you get a pty, and all normal magic happens00:05
rick_hmakes sense00:05
smoseri have used it some. i use ec2 instances instead of lxc a lot.00:05
smosersome of your patsubst stuff, could possibly be donewith '%-min.js: %.js'00:05
rick_hkind of cool little setup, hoping to put my LP dev environment in one to be able to shutdown/start up nicely00:05
rick_hyea, I ran into issues with that, SO helped me get the patsubst stuff00:06
rick_hhttp://stackoverflow.com/questions/9985407/using-make-build-minimize-js-files-that-have-changed00:07
brouschMUG video up yet?01:36
rick_hnope, told him not to record03:03
rick_hbut I do think it'll make a good screencast03:03
rick_hso I'll have to try to script it and work on that03:03
rick_hmaybe a pyohio opne space kind of thing03:03
derekvdid I mention how the entire freebsd ports system is based on makefiles?05:40
derekvnot even gnu make... and I think gnu make is better05:41
derekvI guess I probably mention bsd a lot =p05:41
rick_hhah, all cool. I know a bunch of guys that are bsd fans10:18
rick_hanyone want a 3rd gen kindle (not the latest w/o keyboard, but the ones with)11:52
rick_hoh and morning11:53
shakes808Good morning11:54
rick_hmorn11:54
shakes808How was MUG last night? Was it recorded?11:55
rick_hit was good11:56
snap-lAnd it was not recorded11:57
shakes808:(11:57
rick_htrust me, you didn't want to see the recording anyway :)11:58
shakes808Why? What did you do rick?11:59
rick_hnothing like that, just really bad recordings12:00
rick_hI'll try to do this as a screencast I think and hopefully it'll come out better than a recording would have12:00
shakes808cool12:01
shakes808So Ubuntu question: The default image viewer makes everyone look like they are either covered in blood or some form of red ompa lompa. Why is that? When I put the pictures in another viewer they are fine, or when I put them in Libre's Impress they are fine.12:03
brouschshakes808: What is the default viewer?12:04
shakes808Not sure what it was. I would have to start up my laptop and I am at work right now. When I go to CHC tonight I will be able to tell you what it was using.12:04
snap-lOK, this two-factor stuff is really annoying12:05
snap-lI have data that is encrypted using a different version of my Google Account Password12:05
shakes808I just recently changed it to someother view that was on Ubuntu.12:05
snap-lAnd off comes two-factor12:12
brouschPITA12:12
snap-lAnd lovely, I lost my encrypted data.12:15
brouschHopefully it wasn't your music collection12:16
rick_hwoot, laptop says out for delivery12:17
rick_hso it'll probably get here around 7pm12:17
brouschSo you're gonna be tied up all night12:18
rick_hheh, CHC install-fest!12:19
jrwrenbsd make is annoying.13:05
brouschHey ya'll with kids http://kids.woot.com/offers/erector-set13:36
snap-lprocreationist!13:36
snap-lsome of us might like erector sets. ;)13:36
brouschSorry, you're right13:37
rick_hooooh13:38
rick_hI've only got 5yrs to go until he can use it, good bargain!13:38
brouschBull. He can use it at age 413:39
brouschAs soon as he learns not to eat non-food items13:39
snap-lby that time erector sets will have evolved into some carbon-nano-tube press thing13:39
snap-lwith 3d printing13:40
brouschThat requires a computer to make things. Erector set is stand-alone13:40
brouschLike legos vs minecraft13:40
snap-lSeeking to improve its standing among business news Web sites, CNBC will announce a new partnership on Wednesday with Yahoo Finance, the largest such Web site in the United States.13:42
jrwren3d print your own erector pieces13:42
brouschIndeed. It is the largest finance news web site from Yahoo in the world!13:42
snap-lCan it still be called a boat when there's two anchors13:42
snap-l(only)13:42
jrwrenif they hurt yahoo finance aI'll be PISSED13:44
jrwrenyahoo finance has hte BEST interface for reading company fundamentals13:44
snap-lThey're also the default for stock quotes on the iPhone13:45
jrwrenyay!13:53
derekvjrwren, bsd make is annoying only insofar as you need to remember no type gmake on a bsd system if make doesn't work13:59
jrwrenexactly14:00
jrwrenor.14:00
jrwrenyou have to install bmake on a non-bsd system to build a tool that uses bsdmake14:00
derekv=]14:01
derekvafk14:01
rick_hhttp://blog.sanctum.geek.nz/unix-as-ide-building/ relevent from last night14:29
brouschrick_h: 500 error14:33
brouschIt's been rick_h-dotted14:33
Blazeixi've been using cmake for a c++ project lately14:58
Blazeixusing it to generate makefiles14:58
rick_hlol, that concept scares me, generating makefiles.14:58
jrwrenrick_h: why?14:58
jrwrennothing scares me.14:58
Blazeixisn't that how the typical autotools stuff works?14:59
jrwrenyes14:59
rick_hbecause I'm a php/python/js guy and makefiles are scary enough :)14:59
jrwrenlol.15:00
jrwrenyou never were a C or C++ dev?15:00
MilyardoGNU auototools are pretty amazing given the complexity of the project15:02
jrwrenVERY amazing in their aid of portability15:03
MilyardoHowever the 3 decades of hacks workarounds is the source is absolutely horiffic15:04
Milyardo*in15:04
jrwrenhaving it based on M4 is rough15:07
jrwrenits just another piece of evidence that great things can be written in any programming language and it only takes one great thing to keep a language alive.15:08
rick_hI did C++ in college and that's when I hated programming and vowed not to get stuck doing it :)15:11
rick_hI've forgotten most of it tbh15:12
jrwrenrick_h: you'd probably still hate some parts of it, but its not bad at all, esp with C++11 features.15:12
jrwrenis this still good advice: http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=482915:13
rick_hyea, I always want to get some time to go back and try to use it again15:13
jrwrenopengles on mobile device is a great reason to use C++15:13
rick_hbut I think I'd end up spending time with Go if I wanted to do something faster/etc15:14
rick_hjrwren: yea, good notes in that link15:14
jrwrenrick_h: ty. I just had my main code in the body of the if __name__ == '__main__': block15:15
rick_hI've tended to keep main() another function so that you can python -m "module.main" or whatever15:15
rick_hbut not wrap the argv bits15:15
jrwrenthat is what I need to do.15:15
jrwreni'm so NOT pythonic it is driving me mad.15:16
jrwrenI think a lot of it is I'm used to boolean types being hte only thing with truthiness15:17
rick_hheh, oh come on, 3's true :)15:17
jrwrennot sure, but it might be my least favorite thing about "dynamic" languages.15:18
jrwrenand it really has nothing to do with dynamictyping, it sjust most langauges do it.15:18
rick_hI find that once you internalize the rules it's ok15:18
snap-lCompanies that call my home phone number (note: not GV) number are irritating. Companies that call my home phone no. and don't leave a message need to die in a fire.15:18
rick_hit's like the === stuff, php and JS do it. Python has the whole test == None / test is None stuff15:19
rick_hevery language has these quirks around things15:19
Milyardojrwren: as for m4 what about postfix?15:19
rick_hthings like x = []; if not x: are too darn handy15:19
MilyardoThat's another project I can think of off the top of my head keeping M4 alive15:20
jrwrenpostfix doesn't use m4 AFAIK. But sendmail sure does.15:21
rick_hyea, sendmail, postfix is different15:21
jrwrenyes, I didn't mean to suggest that autotools was the ONLY m4 user, although it did seem to imply it15:21
jrwrendoes freebsd still use cvsup ?  that kept modula-2 mainstream enought for years. or was it modula-3?15:22
MilyardoAh yeah maybe it was sendmail15:22
jrwrenmodula-315:22
jrwrenit was definitely sendmail.15:22
jrwrenyou write the sendmail.mc file and run it through the m4 with sendmail m4 files and output a sendmail.cf file15:23
jrwrenit was so bad for a logn time that most folks just edited the cf file manually15:23
jrwrenbut as more complex m4 macros for sendmail came out, that became less ideal.15:23
jrwreni was a sendmail admin around this time, can you tell?15:23
Milyardohaha15:24
jrwrenrick_h: C# doesn't have these quirks around boolean implicits, and for equality it is simple, value or reference, as it should be.15:24
brouschFound some very cool website background image options with SVG15:56
Blazeixi'm a fan of subtlepatterns.com15:56
Blazeixbrousch: linky?15:56
brouschToo many links I pulled together into one thing15:57
brouschI'll try to write this up15:57
brouschBlazeix: essentially it is http://paste.mitechie.com/show/697/16:01
brouschWith a CSS reset before everything of course16:03
Blazeixbrousch: ah, thanks16:03
brouschooh, subtlepatterns is nice16:04
brouschWow, totally locked up my computer16:12
brouschVirtualbox did16:12
rick_his it a mac?16:12
rick_hI keep hearing the latest vbox kernel panics OSX16:12
rick_hgoing back a version fixes it16:12
brouschIt is16:12
brouschBut running Kubuntu16:13
brouschIt used Right ctrl as the escape key, but this keyboard has no Right ctrl key16:13
brouschWhen I clicked it, it locked up16:13
brouschAh well, lunch time16:14
snap-lGod, everything is irritating me today.16:18
derekv2how are presentations scheduled for mug?16:19
rick_hyou say " snap-l, I want to give a talk at MUG, put me down"16:20
rick_hand then they give you a month and you enjoy16:20
derekv2thinking about the oss public key crypto pantheon: gpg, openssl, ssh16:23
derekv2get your cypherpunk on16:24
derekv2there is _a lot_ to talk about there16:25
rick_hyea, chat with snap-l, Blazeix, waldo about it. They're on the board and can help with that stuff16:26
derekv2can't commit yet anyways.16:27
derekv2just had the idea.16:27
rick_hyea, definitely16:28
derekv2didjaknow openssl has a command line executable16:29
derekv2you can use it as a command, to do tons and tons of useful stuff16:29
greg-gthat's a talk right there!16:34
derekv2no kidding16:37
derekv2iirc you can encrypt files with it,16:38
derekv2do anything imaginable with x.509 certs16:38
derekv2ohhh thank the gosh16:41
derekv2i'm installing a server at work, not only is linux supported , its not just redhat16:41
derekv2ubuntu is supported16:41
rick_hwoot!16:41
rick_hhttp://trac.webkit.org/changeset/120154 O...M...G could it really happen?16:42
snap-lrick_h: I read they were vendor-prefixed16:44
rick_hwell it's  along way from being used. Only in webkit/etc but the fact that there's a spec, approved, and implementation starting is OMG16:45
snap-lIt's not a real standard until Adobe can figure out how to make it an attack vector16:45
MaskedDriverhttp://files.idontlikethisgame.com/callme.jpg16:45
MaskedDriverThere is no recovering from this... My coworker sent this to me. I uploaded it. I may have to just pack up my things and go home16:46
derekv2?16:48
jrwrenvirtual box locking up your computer is conistent with other oracle products.16:49
derekv2is this ubuntu cloud guest ... does canonical have its own cloud or it just a front for amazon's?16:50
rick_hso you can run your own cloud using a mass->juju->openstack stack of ubuntu goodness16:52
rick_hbut there's official amis for ec216:52
jrwrenyou mean maas, right? :)16:52
rick_hbah, yea maas16:52
derekv2maas16:53
derekv2i need to look at this16:53

jrwrensnap-l: WOW17:25
brouschAhahahah, I came up with a great idea for an app to build at my PyOhio Python on Android talk17:28
* rick_h is afraid17:29
brouschMuahahahah17:30
brouschWhat's so scary about an animated gif generator?17:33
brouschBut really, this will be fun and PG17:35
snap-ljrwren: JoDee's mouth hit the floor when she saw it17:36
jrwrenmine did too. i skipped ahead to 1hr in. O_O awesome17:38
brouschBlazeix: What's your twitter handle?17:44
derekv2um you guys never seen an aimbot before? =]17:47
brouschaim?17:47
brouschWhat are you shooting at?17:48
MaskedDriverI see them all the time in BF317:48
derekv2i like where mealstrom starts breaking17:48
brouschYou are both speaking gibberish17:48
derekv2(1:00:29 PM) snap-l: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQeSnOUqx-M I'm talking about this17:49
brouschah17:50
derekv2an aimbot is where you hack a game so that the computer aims for you17:50
derekv2so its not a matter of aiming better or aim assist its a matter of any portion of the bounding box for any enemy which can be hit instantly is hit17:56
Blazeixbrousch: wafuqua18:05
brouschthanks18:07
jrwrensure, i've seen lots of game bots, but that one is fun to watch because it is a familiar game18:10
derekv2at least they didn't post it as "time attack" vid or something18:11
derekv2did i post that tetris video?18:11
derekv2http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kqKOlcaZuI  not a bot presumably18:12

derekv2http://codekiem.com/2012/02/24/apk-downloader/18:40
derekv2are bookie hashes permanent ?18:46
greg-gderekv2: define permanent ;)19:19
brouschWhen I return from Mars in 2045, will they still work?19:26
greg-glets see, rick will be about 70 years old then, so, maybe?19:31
rick_hruh roh, rick what?19:35
rick_hderekv2: yes, but since you only have one hash vs per auth tokens like ouath, there is the ability to generate a new one19:37
rick_hso stable, but not permanent19:38
snap-lI swear, today is looking to make me want to punch babies19:53
snap-lneighbor just decided now would be a perfect time to hammer in the nails for his fence19:53
snap-lWhich, normally wouldn't be a bad thing, but when I'm working on something that is already irritating, it sets me right on edge.19:54
