rick_h_derekv: http://pyvideo.org/video/529/pyohio-2011--creating-web-apis-that-are-a-joy-to-01:51
snap-lgreg-g: had a follow-up conversation that mat be promising. :)02:47
snap-lmay, rather02:47
rick_h_ok, so a de-duper script was a crap ton easier to write03:53
rick_h_now if it'd just finish running on the live site kthx03:53
snap-l;)03:56
rick_h_ok, so took a minute to run, but deduped 600 bookmarks03:56
rick_h_combined tags, thanks for the suggestion/idea03:56
rick_h_Ordered a nexus 7, derekv's got me all interested in mobile ui's and I've got a phone so need to see the tablet ui.03:57
rick_h_snap-l: don't kick me :P04:13
derekvhaha04:14
derekvi don't even have a tablet04:15
rick_h_I had to try out an event so setup one for CHC and invited snap-l04:15
rick_h_so now I'll get a boot, gotta watch out04:15
rick_h_derekv: yea, you got me really thinking a cool two pane webui with left list, readable scrolling content on the right04:15
derekvI consider it inevidable I just have fun seeing how long I can put it off04:15
rick_h_can do it for the normal desktop view04:15
derekvthats why I wondered about setting up views that are themselves components ...04:16
rick_h_yea04:16
rick_h_in the webui I can have Views compose of other views04:16
rick_h_so I'll head down that path and see if I can get something cool and two paned. Keep the tag filter up top and you can filter on toread to just limit the list/scroll through04:17
derekvYea.  obviously not a new idea just need to see how it plays out with android native ... could be good stuff04:17
rick_h_anyway, good price point and want to setup a yeti cluster for my JS tests anyway.04:17
rick_h_exactly, I'm not sure how deep into Java I can get, ugh I'm not a fan, but if it's what's required might end up that way as the web setup/api stabailized04:18
rick_h_one day I'll do something cool on there that'll make it popular and hack on it full time :P04:18
Blazeixheh, my friend with the retina macbook got X running: http://andy753421.ath.cx/temp/mbp.png04:18
derekvits better using java in the android context then it is in the web context... well thats just my current opinion04:19
derekvbut I'm not a fan of java either04:19
rick_h_hah! yea, there was a mockup of unity on the retina display and the icons on the left were barely clickable04:19
rick_h_oh yea, I can't ever see doing the web stuff with it, I could see getting interested in it for android dev though04:19
rick_h_but I am a big Web > * person usually, and chrome ootb by default is a big win04:20
derekvI wish they hadn't chosen it for android04:20
derekvbetween it and obj-c its a toss up which is worse, pros and cons04:20
rick_h_meh, I hear Obj-C has some big warts as well04:20
rick_h_but yea, I understand the decision though04:20
derekvyes... yes it does04:20
rick_h_the webos model is my dream04:20
rick_h_and now I guess boot2gecko04:20
rick_h_but go look and you're not going to win users/$$ working on that04:21
rick_h_not for a long while at least04:21
derekvnah04:22
rick_h_bah widox forgot to bring out the MS mice, had them in the backpack tonight04:22
derekvwell who knows right? but i'm not banking on it04:22
rick_h_yea, /me goes on dreaming04:23
derekvyou can see in the android design where they had this idea of an ecosystem of apps and componants04:25
derekvlike how you have with linux and a package manager04:26
derekvperhaps not to that extent04:26
derekvbut how in reality not many are going to put an app in the store that the user has to also have some other 3rd party things installed04:26
derekvidk ... time for bed04:27

nullspacemoring12:14
jrwrenobj-c is awesome12:35
rick_h_heh, I"ve not used it so I'll hold back judgement...but I hear stories :)12:35
jrwrenits really nice once you settle into it.12:37
jrwreni found settling into obj-c more comfortable than settling into python12:37
jrwrenbut I think that is because there are no standards in objc, you just write code and no one cares AFAICT12:37
jrwrenbut in python you should be pythonic so that is much more challenging12:38
jrwrenbut to compare to java its no contest.12:38
rick_h_you're failing to convince me lol12:38
jrwreni'm not trying.12:38
widoxrick_h_: oh right! maybe next time12:40
rick_h_widox: yea, big duh on my part.12:40
brouschI am scumbag open source advocate for a while. Advocates Linux, uses OSX12:41
brouschI need 8GB of RAM to work in Eclipse for Android. The MBP is my only 8GB machine. I can't get external monitors working under Linux on the MBP, so I'm stuck in OSX12:43
snap-lbrousch: Cry me a river.13:11
brouschI thought I just did13:13
jrwrenbrousch: you are an open source advocate?13:19
brouschI advocate open source, so yes13:20
rick_h_https://developers.google.com/live/shows/ahNzfmdvb2dsZS1kZXZlbG9wZXJzcg4LEgVFdmVudBj3gtcCDA/ is kind of cool for web devs though the speakers are a bit patronizing13:25
jrwrenis that where they are showing shadow dom?13:26
rick_h_yea13:26
jrwrenI couldn't understand what they were doing with shadow dom13:26
jrwrenI was watching it live yesterday and I just didn't see the point13:26
rick_h_I think their <video> tag was a good example13:26
rick_h_making google search work better is a big part :)13:27
rick_h_but I think the idea of putting work into standard UI components at the dom like this is a good thing13:27
jrwrenis vagrant kind of like juju, just focused on development boxes?13:30
rick_h_http://mozilla.github.com/x-tag/ looks like13:30
rick_h_jrwren: I guess, kind of hard to compare something starting/handling machines vs installing/running software packages13:31
jrwrenMaas then?13:32
snap-lbtw: Club Metal #11 is out13:32
jrwreni should probably just go use each of them, but I don't have the time :(13:32
rick_h_no, I think you're ok. You can do 'recipes' of machines/config and such with vagrant so I guess it's not too far off from a juju type thing, but without the additional logic of tying together bits13:50
rick_h_right, you dno't vagrant up mysql-dev13:50
rick_h_vagrant up mysql-dev and start them sync'ing13:50
rick_h_you'd have a recipe for two mysql machines setup to sync and can pass it around13:50
snap-lI <3 Python's kawrgs13:54
snap-ljust took out a bunch of redundant typo-making arguments13:55
rick_h_don't go crazy with them13:55
rick_h_but yea, darn handy sometimes13:55
snap-lrick_h_: I know. With great power comes great responsibility13:55
snap-lbut I just cut out a bunch of stuff for a SQLAlchemy model13:55
rick_h_yea13:56
snap-l29 arguments with an init method to to self.foo = foo is not fun13:56
rick_h_right13:56
snap-lThank you for the tip13:56
rick_h_np, glad it's helped13:56
brouschOK, wow, OSX Lion comes with Python2.5.6, Python2.6.7, and Python2.7.1 pre-installed14:09

jrwrenOSX runs in a VM on OSX. so inside parallel or vmware15:33
snap-ljrwren: eh?15:34
jrwrenanswering brousch's question.15:34
jrwrenyou are allowed to run OSX in a VM as long as it is on OSX on apple hardware15:35
snap-ljrwren: Right, I got that. What's this about it running in a VM?15:35
jrwrennullspace is trying to do it. can you not read up?15:35
snap-ljrwren: OSX runs in a VM on OSX.15:35
snap-lThe way I initally read it was "OSX runs in a VM on a Mac"15:36
snap-land that didn't compute.15:36
jrwrenoh! no, i did not mean that.15:36

Blazeixyeah, i thought portland was known for having terrible weather.15:49
Blazeixwhere terrible = rainy for 7 months15:49
rick_h_derekv: it's great for biking! very bike friendly!15:49

jrwrenhaha, it helped15:57
rick_h_krondor: my wife keeps saying I must watch it15:57
jrwrenportlandia totally made me want to move to portland15:58
jrwrenyou must watch it.15:58
krondorliving in a 90's microcosm would be interesting that's for sure :)15:58
jrwrenportlandia is the best show on teevee15:58
jrwrenthe dream of the 90s is still alive in portland15:58
rick_h_yea, that's her line she likes to throw at me15:58
jrwrenkrondor: have you read ... ?15:59

snap-lYeah, and when they realize Rush _doesn't_ mean Rush Limbaugh, they'll be really pissed.16:33
ColonelPanic001haha16:33
derekvI misunderstood what I was supposed to be doing ... i'm supposed to design the API for the client , not write up a best practices document17:11
snap-lderekv: Oh, lovely.17:13
derekvit is actually =]17:14
derekvbut thats a bigger job17:15
derekvthe project got created without a gitignore17:20
derekvso i have to retroactivly correct that as well17:20
rick_h_woot!17:37
rick_h_at least you get to do it then17:37
rick_h_there you go iOS lovers, have some chrome love17:37
rick_h_chrome yummy, this is almost more yummy to me than yesterday17:38
brouscheh?17:40
rick_h_google IO keynote day 217:41
rick_h_you mean you're not all just glued to your screen for Chrome/Docs/Drive news?17:41
brouschAh geez17:42
rick_h_chromebooks in best buy17:42
rick_h_now we'll see what the market says17:42
brouschYou know what's sad? On OSX I actually have a Google-provided Drive client17:42
rick_h_yea, they announced iOS Chrome coming today17:43
rick_h_all the demos'equipment on stage is apple laptops17:43
derekvthats confusing17:43
rick_h_how so?17:44
rick_h_what's crazy is his "other devices" list in chrome has laptop, desktop, android phone, android tablet, iphone, ipad17:44
rick_h_"MOAR TABS!!!"17:45
derekviOS chrome is?17:45
derekvchrome vs chromebook is confusing17:45
derekvfor one17:45
derekvjava javascript17:45
derekvham hamburger17:45
rick_h_heh17:45
derekvalso because chrome means something else relevent to browsers as well17:46
brouschchrome/chromium/chromeos/chromiumos17:46
derekvmozilla has a chrome17:46
derekvdon't forget17:46
rick_h_here comes google's cloud17:46
rick_h_IaaS offering 'Compute Engine'17:47
rick_h_look out ec217:47
brouschGoogle App Engine?17:47
rick_h_no, linux OS17:47
rick_h_like ec217:47
brouschI'm sure GAE runs on Linux17:47
rick_h_so not PaaS, but IaaS17:47
rick_h_right, but think "with root"17:47
brouschNo one wants that17:48
rick_h_heh, some people do17:48
brouschSorry, wandered in troll territory again17:48
rick_h_Gdocs with offline editing yay, missed that while heading up here.17:49
rick_h_"than...other cloud providers"17:51
rick_h_ouch, 770 cores up and running in < 20min17:53
rick_h_770k cores that is17:53
brouschIs that all?17:54
rick_h_well, for a single app that was running a genome computation17:55
jrwrenDAMNY!17:55
brouschSo is this like EC2 or Heroku?17:56
rick_h_ec217:56
rick_h_app engine == heroku17:56
rick_h_this is like ec2 linode, rackspace type things17:57
brouschHm, yeah, I guess you're right.17:57
jrwrennative client is SWEET17:57
rick_h_yea, NCL is the key to chromebooks17:58
rick_h_give it time, they'll start to win users17:58
brouschI like chromebook for consuming content17:58
rick_h_yea, lots of family could be just fine on one17:59
brouschFast, simple, sturdy17:59
brouschPRinting is still the stickiest point, but it's getting better17:59
rick_h_yea, and always up to date17:59
rick_h_that's underestimated. My wife has 100+ ubuntu updates she's not run yet17:59
rick_h_but chrome just updates itself17:59
brouschHeh, almost too often. Seems like I reboot the boy's chromebook twice a week for updates18:00
brouschSure, it only takes 15 seconds to reboot, but it's kind of annoying18:00
rick_h_big win in my book18:00
rick_h_I'm seriously thinking of replacing my wife's laptop with one when her laptop dies18:01
brouschHe has figured out the new interface, so now he can get videos off of the SD card18:01
rick_h_she's got a work laptop for the important work stuff that's IE only anyway18:01
rick_h_heh, sweet. Using webrtc and hte camera to do 'kinect'-like interface18:03
rick_h_doh, and giving out the chromebox units18:09

derekvsuppose screen sizes18:52
rick_h_because the device was a phone, but emulating a tablet18:52
derekvapi level18:52

brouschOn the CD that came with a motherboard, under the Drivers install: Google toolbar, Google Chrome, Norton Internet Security 201120:30
derekvso i'm trying to figure out if there's some reason do do more than ssl + http basic auth on every call20:59
derekvfor authentication20:59
derekvwhy do things require you to log in, get some sort of tolken21:00
derekvmaybe the heat is getting to me but it seems silly21:00
rick_h_derekv: so you can revoke the token21:06
rick_h_without making the user change their password21:06
greg-gugh, comments on backpacking with babies blog posts make me lose faith in parts of humanity21:08
greg-g"how about remember some common sense and leave the baby at home!"21:09
greg-g:(21:09
rick_h_heh21:10
rick_h_we thought about it, but I think the idea of being 8hrs from a road in case of emergency generally convinced us to skip it21:11
greg-gyeah, definitely not doing major hike, but we at least have to try21:11
rick_h_yea, it is more complicated though.21:12
rick_h_but yea, you're on the internet, release the trolls!!!!21:12
derekvnot like api token I meant session_id I think21:16
derekvwell if I'm writing an app the user has their password stored anyways, i'm trying to think of why not usine http basic auth + ssl21:18
derekvother than the server has to store passwords with reversable encryption21:18
derekvwhich I don't prefer but in this case might be ok21:19
derekvor, the amazon scheme21:19
derekvwhich is more complex but its still stateless21:19
derekvno expiring sessions21:20
derekvwhen you turn the device back on21:20
derekvwell, actually, the amazon scheme requires the server to know the password anyways21:25
derekvtoo bad client certificates aren't usually an option21:33
derekvalmost perfect security21:33
