[00:32] I need to pick out a car. [00:34] I want the perfect car with low miles or new and for not much money... [02:26] I need a new car too [02:26] . :) [18:49] Finishing up my SB article. [20:59] will someone who knows js take a look at this and let me know if it's too weird for a google maps api hello world? http://files.fuqua.io/upload/index2.html [21:00] i have some 'revealing module' program structure in there [21:00] which makes it a lot easier in later demos to show more advanced stuff [21:00] but i don't want to scare people with the first version [21:52] Blazeix: loading up, just got in [21:53] I'm going to try out octopress [21:53] did I miss anything over the weekend? [21:53] lack of cell coverage fml [21:54] nope, nothing interesting. just really hot. [21:54] octopress has 950 forks, its based on jekyll which has like 1050 forks ... these are one of dozens of diy blog frameworks ... plus its not hard to roll you own, or use hosted wordpress or blogger or whatever [21:54] yea, you're telling me...tent and heat don't work well together [21:54] so I wonder how many blogs there are [21:55] derekv: check out blogofile, python and seems kind of cool [21:55] AC ftw [21:55] little slow dev lately though I guess [21:55] pelican is the new 'hot' one these days [21:56] Blazeix: so it's not hard or anything, but the self running func for Map and then the .initialize() method just strike me as unusual [21:56] don't run into much JS in the wild like that [21:57] rick_h_: looks like the same concept as jykyl / octopress [21:57] derekv: yea, but less ruby :PO [21:57] Blazeix: is that just to avoid new Map() ? [21:57] rick_h_: I'm hoping to rig whatever it is I use, so that the blog posts are in some markup in their own repo [21:57] as i progress through the maps api, i add more stuff to the Map module [21:57] then I can switch what i'm using from underneith it [21:58] Blazeix: k, that's my only impression. [21:58] so right now there's some boilerplate, it's a bit overkill for just initializing the map [21:58] in my sun stoked exhaustion state [21:58] ok, thanks. maybe i'll start out more simple, and modularize it when we get more complex [21:59] i just want to focus on the Google Maps API, i don't want to touch too much on JS patterns [21:59] yea, I see where you're headed [21:59] rick_h_: thanks [21:59] right, so I'd almost just do stupid function return object to keep it absoulte simple [21:59] memory ineffecient, but you're not putting 100 of these on a page [22:00] yeah, but once i get into geocoding / adding map markers etc it get's complex [22:00] and i really don't want to drop down to using global state, even though it's probably simpler for demo purposes [22:00] yea, I'm with you there [22:02] man I hate not being able to keep up on email [22:11] rick_h_: Good trip? [22:11] snap-l: ugh, I guess [22:11] it's the kind of vacation that's more work than you want to call for a vacation [22:11] and head didn't help [22:11] Yeah, the heat was pretty ugh [22:11] yea, and we were tenting it [22:11] Yeah, I thought of you a few times [22:12] and the boy didn't sleep well the first night so I had to drive him up through alpena one morning for 3 hrs of sleep [22:12] we had my nieces birthday party to go to, and it was pretty hot out [22:12] 5am-8am were just got on 23 adn drove with the ac on [22:12] yea, thankfully 8ish cooler up there [22:12] Poor little guy [22:13] but he had a blast, they had a 4th of july parade nad he slept through 80% of the fireworks last night lol [22:16] god dammit... instructions for octopress "install rvm, then install rbenv", instructions for rbenv "do not install rbenv if you have rvm" [22:18] what a pile of crap [22:18] rvm ... "you can't use rvm until blah blah change your terminal blah blah" [22:19] git clone git://github.com/EnigmaCurry/blogofile.git [22:20] it looks like readme for octopress says 'install rvm _or_ rbenv' [22:20] derekv: so...did I mention python? :P [22:21] Welcome to Ruby [22:22] Blazeix: good eye [22:22] I don't actually know how to read I just wing it [22:22] i copy paste text into the terminal until something works [22:25] * snap-l whistles [22:38] is it me or is there an unspoken initiative to replicate everything that has been done in ruby, in python [22:38] I know even less ruby than I know python [22:38] which isn't much [22:53] meh, sorry, frustrated. [23:16] jekyll craps out with ruby dependancy errors, blogofile I got up and running faster, but it chokes on its own sample data
