| bkerensa | kees: I was trying to go to wiki.corp.google.com but I guess thats on the Intranet? :) because it directed me to this https://login.corp.google.com | 06:00 |
|---|---|---|
| nathwill | morning | 14:52 |
| kees | bkerensa: yeah, that's internal stuffs. whatcha looking for? maybe I can find external alternatives? | 15:15 |
| bkerensa | kees: I found it... I was watching a Google video class on python and they had some resources in wiki but someone at Canonical found the external copies :D | 16:07 |
| bkerensa | nathwill: morning | 16:07 |
| bkerensa | :D | 16:07 |
| kees | bkerensa: cool | 16:07 |
| nathwill | you working on learning python, bkerensa? | 16:33 |
| nathwill | me too! | 16:33 |
| bkerensa | nathwill: well... just resuming my studies now that I am finding some breaks to do so | 16:37 |
| bkerensa | :D | 16:37 |
| bkerensa | but yeah | 16:37 |
| bkerensa | after I get python down... It will be time for GO :) | 16:38 |
| nathwill | started reading the python3 docs, as that seems to be where things are headed | 16:38 |
| bkerensa | nathwill: Can you tell me where the package is? http://www.tnt.com/webtracker/tracking.do?navigation=1&cons=843248128 | 16:38 |
| bkerensa | :D | 16:38 |
| nathwill | bkerensa: in transit between LA and it's destination | 16:39 |
| bkerensa | nathwill: very vague :P I dont much like that it doesnt show each city | 16:41 |
| nathwill | USA Others! | 16:42 |
| nathwill | hilarious | 16:42 |
| bkerensa | nathwill: yeah =/ at least it didnt get held in customs | 16:42 |
| bkerensa | nathwill: big plans for the fourth? | 16:43 |
| bkerensa | izdubar: hi | 16:57 |
| nathwill | bkerensa: nope... the wife had to work, so i volunteered to cover my org for the day | 17:03 |
| bkerensa | nathwill: huh | 17:04 |
| bkerensa | nathwill: btw what is Yahoo Pipes? | 17:04 |
| nathwill | but i'll get friday off as recompense | 17:04 |
| nathwill | bkerensa, srsly? | 17:04 |
| nathwill | yahoo pipes is the shit | 17:04 |
| bkerensa | it keeps pinging my site | 17:04 |
| bkerensa | =/ | 17:04 |
| nathwill | :) | 17:04 |
| bkerensa | you set this up? | 17:04 |
| nathwill | someone probably has a pipe that has your site feed in it | 17:04 |
| nathwill | or possible scraper | 17:04 |
| nathwill | no, i don't think i did... | 17:05 |
| nathwill | though it's possible | 17:05 |
| bkerensa | huh | 17:05 |
| bkerensa | what so its a Yahoo branded web scraper? | 17:05 |
| nathwill | i screw around w/ pipes a fair amount, frequently using my news subscriptions as a data-source | 17:05 |
| nathwill | no | 17:05 |
| nathwill | that's Slurp | 17:05 |
| bkerensa | lol | 17:05 |
| nathwill | pipes is a product | 17:05 |
| nathwill | you should check it out | 17:05 |
| nathwill | it's unix pipes for web services, i guess is best way to explain it | 17:05 |
| nathwill | it's really kick ass | 17:06 |
| nathwill | let's you do pretty neat mashups from various data-sources.. generate a single, standardized data feed that you can use, using all kinds of different inputs | 17:06 |
| nathwill | bkerensa: http://pipes.yahoo.com/ | 17:07 |
| bkerensa | weird | 17:08 |
| nathwill | awesome | 17:09 |
| nathwill | so... think about wanting to build a "linux-news" feed for your site... | 17:10 |
| tgm4883 | historically, i believe yahoo has had a lot of decent online products | 17:10 |
| nathwill | rather than hooking in a dozen different sources, you can create a pipe to aggregate X number sources in X number formats, deduplicate them, and give you a standardized output in the format of your choice (xml,json...) | 17:11 |
| nathwill | YQL is also a bad-ass product | 17:11 |
| bkerensa | huh | 17:11 |
| bkerensa | tgm4883: I like some Yahoo products.... but ultimately Yahoo's culture is not able to keep up with society | 17:12 |
| bkerensa | Google gets it | 17:12 |
| bkerensa | Facebook does too | 17:12 |
| nathwill | http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/ | 17:12 |
| bkerensa | When is the last time I saw Yahoo at a Open Source or major tech event? Never in the last decade | 17:12 |
| nathwill | bkerensa: you can say that all you like, but y! is number one in mail, news, sports... | 17:13 |
| izdubar | bkerensa, hello | 17:13 |
| nathwill | i'd hardly call that irrelevant | 17:13 |
| === izdubar is now known as MarkDude | ||
| bkerensa | Yahoo owns Zillow? | 17:13 |
| bkerensa | that rocks | 17:13 |
| bkerensa | nathwill: y! mail is the #1 mail client because yahoo was dominate for so many years and people fail at knowing how to create a new acct... as a product I think ymail is hands down inferior to Gmail. | 17:14 |
| bkerensa | not that Gmail is too special itself | 17:14 |
| bkerensa | mail is mail... but yahoo has the highest rate of spam mail | 17:14 |
| bkerensa | I could go into my ymail and nuke my inbox and in a week I will have 1000 new messages | 17:15 |
| bkerensa | :D | 17:15 |
| nathwill | so... if you don't use the mail... it won't learn your preferences... | 17:15 |
| nathwill | check this out: http://visualize.yahoo.com/mail/ | 17:16 |
| bkerensa | interesting | 17:17 |
| nathwill | way too fun to look at | 17:17 |
| bkerensa | I love it... one of the biggest trending words on that was "VIAGRA" | 17:18 |
| bkerensa | >.< | 17:18 |
| nathwill | the trending keywords are wild | 17:18 |
| nathwill | i'm assuming you were looking at the spam ones | 17:18 |
| bkerensa | Im sorry... VIGRA which has produced 365 spam emails in the last 20 seconds | 17:18 |
| bkerensa | :D | 17:18 |
| bkerensa | yeah | 17:18 |
| nathwill | :) | 17:19 |
| nathwill | also, reading this article, i don't see that y! owns zillow, it's just talking about a partnership to provide property listings data for y! homes | 17:20 |
| bkerensa | nathwill: Yahoo!-Zillow Real Estate Network | 17:25 |
| bkerensa | bottom of site | 17:25 |
| bkerensa | :D | 17:25 |
| nathwill | what site | 17:26 |
| nathwill | oh, i see it | 17:26 |
| nathwill | iiinteresting... | 17:26 |
| nathwill | http://www.nasdaq.com/article/zillow-and-yahoo-expand-relationship-zillow-now-exclusive-provider-of-rental-listings-to-yahoo-h-20120703-00425 | 17:26 |
| orebuntu | nathwill's tiny URL is http://tinyurl.com/7jbd5rc | 17:26 |
| bkerensa | nathwill: :D my fiancees work is going to start using Zipcar I guess | 17:27 |
| bkerensa | :D | 17:27 |
| nathwill | bkerensa, it's a partnership | 17:27 |
| bkerensa | nathwill: ah | 17:27 |
| nathwill | as the TLDR on that article | 17:27 |
| nathwill | though apparently quite an old partnership, as it dates to 2006 | 17:27 |
| nathwill | y!-zillow network was 2011 | 17:28 |
| nathwill | anyways... that's cool about zipcar | 17:28 |
| nathwill | NPR had a thing on going carless the other day | 17:28 |
| bkerensa | nathwill: yeah I'm not sure whats up with it apparently her company is going to start a test trial with her.... since we are defiant on getting a vehicle and they know we use zipcar | 17:30 |
| bkerensa | :D | 17:30 |
| bkerensa | so her VP asked yesterday if they can start doing trials | 17:30 |
| bkerensa | and Zipcar sent me a free year membership card :D | 17:31 |
| nathwill | sweet deal | 17:33 |
| bkerensa | nathwill: so O'Reilly is giving me a deadline to get someone on our booth list | 17:35 |
| bkerensa | Im going to add you | 17:35 |
| bkerensa | =/ | 17:35 |
| bkerensa | I have no other prospects | 17:35 |
| nathwill | ok | 17:40 |
| nathwill | dude... thunderbird just turned into a defunct process | 17:40 |
| nathwill | bizarre | 17:40 |
| bkerensa | lol | 17:40 |
| nathwill | ha, had to nuke the parent process (gnome-shell) to kill it | 18:21 |
| nathwill | that sucks | 18:21 |
| bkerensa | sucks... Vidalia is broken... requires sudo in order for it to work properly which has not been the case for the last couple releases of Ubuntu | 19:20 |
| bkerensa | =/ | 19:20 |
| thefinn93 | try the tor browser bundle | 19:25 |
| bkerensa | thefinn93: thats trash | 19:26 |
| bkerensa | :P | 19:26 |
| thefinn93 | oh? | 19:26 |
| bkerensa | it uses an outdated version of FF | 19:26 |
| thefinn93 | making it trash? | 19:27 |
| thefinn93 | it works well | 19:27 |
| bkerensa | thefinn93: until Flash EOL when FF wont have support for it? :P | 19:35 |
| thefinn93 | you shouldn't run flash over tor anyway, it doesnt respect the proxy and reveals your real IP | 19:36 |
| bkerensa | thefinn93: when you gonna hang | 19:37 |
| thefinn93 | not sure, trying to see what I can pull off for OSCON | 19:37 |
| thefinn93 | might end up just coming down Thursday/Friday | 19:38 |
| bkerensa | thefinn93: yeah I just sent the reg in today... its gonna be me... nathwill and phillapballew | 19:38 |
| thefinn93 | cool | 19:38 |
| MarkDude | How about asking Daniel? | 19:49 |
| MarkDude | He has some good knowledge, and should be able to help there | 19:50 |
| bkerensa | MarkDude: who? | 19:52 |
| bkerensa | MarkDude: We only have two passes | 19:52 |
| bkerensa | Phillip is justa floater | 19:53 |
| bkerensa | just a* | 19:53 |
| tgm4883 | bkerensa, ping | 20:06 |
| bkerensa | tgm4883: pong | 20:07 |
| tgm4883 | pm? | 20:07 |
| MarkDude | What about using the free code | 20:10 |
| MarkDude | and getting a few people extra | 20:10 |
| MarkDude | Even having a person help for 3 hours would be good- if you had a few extra folks | 20:11 |
| * MarkDude will ask Daniel to help, and make sure he uses freeorg code | 20:11 | |
| MarkDude | and him helping can be considered extra help, | 20:12 |
| MarkDude | Because MarkDude is concerned that bkerensa will be stuck at booth the whole time- and not be able to do the networking thing at the time, | 20:12 |
| MarkDude | Having him able to go make connections and such is a *really* important thing, IMHO | 20:13 |
| MarkDude | If volunteers are able to spend time at other booths and outside during then - thats good | 20:15 |
| * MarkDude has heard that other projects are taking their 2 badges, and swapping them when folks leave the floor | 20:16 | |
| bkerensa | MarkDude: Thats not allowed.... They sent out a e-mail saying that from the get go | 20:17 |
| bkerensa | No swapping of exhibitor passes and expo passes cannot be used for exhibiting | 20:17 |
| MarkDude | So they check ids? | 20:18 |
| bkerensa | MarkDude: I'll have plenty of people up here | 20:18 |
| MarkDude | Oh ok | 20:18 |
| bkerensa | MarkDude: no they dont check ID's but if a guy with a tag saying Emily Smith comes up what do you think security is gonna say? | 20:19 |
| MarkDude | Its Emily's business if she has stuble | 20:19 |
| MarkDude | Or a Linux Beard | 20:19 |
| MarkDude | They make like not much for working the doors | 20:19 |
| MarkDude | Cant you just pay for more expo passes? | 20:20 |
| bkerensa | ? | 20:20 |
| bkerensa | Expo Passes are for Expo Attendees | 20:20 |
| MarkDude | To work the booth | 20:20 |
| bkerensa | not for Exhibitors | 20:21 |
| bkerensa | and nope | 20:21 |
| bkerensa | 2 max | 20:21 |
| * MarkDude plans on wearing Nixie Pixels badge | 20:21 | |
| bkerensa | heh | 20:21 |
| MarkDude | And hopes he is hard timed for it | 20:21 |
| bkerensa | have fun with that | 20:21 |
| * MarkDude will | 20:21 | |
| MarkDude | valorie gonna be there? | 20:27 |
| MarkDude | https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150269305683805&set=a.10150269305618805.349148.717333804&type=1&theater Epic OSCON pic is EPIC | 20:28 |
| orebuntu | MarkDude's tiny URL is http://tinyurl.com/75kf8hm | 20:28 |
| bkerensa | MarkDude: I dont think so | 20:31 |
| MarkDude | Damn | 20:31 |
| MarkDude | She is awesome | 20:32 |
| bkerensa | MarkDude: at CLS she said maybe | 20:32 |
| bkerensa | but she will be in Europe for some KDE stuff | 20:32 |
| MarkDude | Linux Gma- kickin' ass worldwide :) | 20:33 |
| bkerensa | =/ | 20:34 |
| bkerensa | ahh I hate when I get that call | 20:34 |
| * bkerensa has to run out to SW and do a call | 20:34 | |
| MarkDude | laters | 20:37 |
| nathwill | bkerensa, so what days do we need the booth manned? | 21:22 |
| nathwill | if we're that short, i've got some vacation coming, and can probably push da boss to get some time off | 21:22 |
| MarkDude | Wed and Thur are expo days | 21:41 |
| nathwill | oh, well that's easy, i just need to get the wednesday off then | 21:46 |
| * nathwill yawns and dreams of soft pillows | 21:46 | |
| blkperl | bkerensa: is the server ready? | 23:39 |
