[02:20] <shakes808> Hello all
[02:20] <shakes808> anyone still up?
[02:20] <rick_h_> yea, but I should be heading ot bed
[02:21] <shakes808> alright. Good night rick_h_
[02:21] <rick_h_> 400 more records to go...dare I wait for the script to end...
[02:21] <shakes808> It can wait until the morning
[02:21] <rick_h_> but but but :P
[02:22] <shakes808> Do you suppose that your processes will mess up and is it likely that you will do something about it tonight or in the morning?
[02:22] <rick_h_> no, but it's the first time it should finally complete successfully in a while and I want to enable the cron job to run every 2hrs now that I've gotten it working again
[02:23] <rick_h_> down to the last 500 of over 7000 back records of processing
[02:24] <shakes808> lol
[02:25] <shakes808> You are going to stay up for the remainder of the process aren't you?
[02:32] <shakes808> Since you are going to be up for a moment longer. I know you have the wifi hotspot through VZW, do you have your cell from them as well?
[02:32] <shakes808> I think we have had this conversation a while ago, but can't remember. I know snap-l and his view and ting.com lol
[02:32] <rick_h_> yea, me, wife, and the mifi
[02:33] <shakes808> How do you like it? What phones?
[02:33] <rick_h_> we both have galaxy nexus, like it
[02:34] <rick_h_> 4g is awesome, coverage is solid, and lots of 4g added all the time
[02:34] <rick_h_> but I pay through the nose for hte privilege
[02:34] <shakes808> They redid there plans
[02:35] <rick_h_> yea, I've not seen the rework. Since my phone has unlimited data if I change I lose that
[02:35] <rick_h_> but I should look into the shared data plans
[02:35] <shakes808> They are comparable to Sprint now, just not unlimited data but my girlfriend and I use ~2GB of data
[02:36] <rick_h_> yea, I used 3gb from my phone one weekend
[02:36] <rick_h_> so lucked out I still had my unlimited
[02:36] <shakes808> PyOhio?
[02:36] <shakes808> lol
[02:36] <shakes808> if you were to upgrade, what do you think you would git
[02:36] <shakes808> get
[02:37] <rick_h_> no, google io, I could only seem to hold the stream of video on my phone over 4g
[02:37] <rick_h_> phone-wise? nothing. I'd wait until next galaxy device and debate aobut not getting it on verizon again
[02:38] <rick_h_> I still don't have jelly bean on my phone and it was the whole reason to get the nexus, for the 'google updates' :/
[02:41] <Blazeix> yeah, i've basically permanently given up on stock
[02:41] <Blazeix> i used to check back now and then to see if i should revert
[02:41] <Blazeix> but i've fallen out of the habit now
[02:43] <rick_h_> yea, I should just look at what it takes to root
[02:43] <rick_h_> but then I lose google video and netflix I think
[02:44] <Blazeix> hm, maybe. i don't use either of those on my phone.
[02:44] <rick_h_> yea, I guess I use them on the N7 more now

[11:50] <snap-l> I sent a note to Staples Rewards about a card issue
[11:51] <snap-l> their automated e-mail put me on hold.
[11:51] <snap-l> Thank you for contacting Staples Rewards.
[11:51] <snap-l> We are currently experiencing high contact volume; please expect a delay in our response.
[11:51] <brousch> Why are you eating JSON?
[11:51] <rick_h_> so for a couple of reasons
[11:52] <rick_h_> 1) set of data to send to a template, say email that goes out
[11:52] <rick_h_> 2) Logging - often I log something happened and I store a set of data with it. The old values before an update, etc
[11:53] <rick_h_> 3) Api calls end up sending json, so I do a query, then turn the objects into json. The ability to do a select to_json() would be more effecient
[11:59] <snap-l> PHP / Wordpress: because it loves storing serialized data in the fucking database.
[12:00] <snap-l> Oh, sorry, was listing reasons why I'd love to see JSON in the database. :)
[12:03] <rick_h_> ....must...not...kill...developer
[12:04] <snap-l> rick_h_:  That good?
[12:05] <rick_h_> I'm cranky and doing code reviews...no good can come of this
[12:05] <snap-l> Ruh roh
[12:07] <rick_h_> and seriously...wtf http://paste.mitechie.com/show/765/
[12:07] <rick_h_> "first one to use the variable key 10 times wins!"
[12:07] <rick_h_> no comments, no idea wtf key vs key_name is...how can you have key and key_name...isn't a key a name by freaking definition?
[12:08]  * snap-l pulls down his github
[12:08] <snap-l> s/pulls/deletes/
[12:09] <rick_h_> and then this gem... http://paste.mitechie.com/show/766/
[12:09] <rick_h_> let's just check out wtf the super class in this case is doing for us: http://yuilibrary.com/yui/docs/api/files/widget_js_Widget.js.html#l612
[12:09] <rick_h_> oh right....NOTHING... *sigh*
[12:09] <brousch> Scumbag rover http://weknowmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/scumbag-curiosity-rover.jpeg
[12:09] <snap-l> there there
[12:10] <rick_h_> and $#@#@$#@$#@ I'm not allowed to fly to australia nad kill anyone right?
[12:11] <snap-l> as much as you were allowed to strangle people in NC.
[12:14] <snap-l> ie: you'd have to expense it afterward.
[12:57] <shakes808> Good morning all
[12:57] <rick_h_> party
[12:57] <shakes808> Have a question for snap-l. Coworker wants to make his own media server and was wondering where to start. Thought of you for this question.
[13:25] <snap-l> What sort of media?
[13:25] <snap-l> If it's more video related, I'm not the best person to ask. krondor is (Ryan Kather)
[13:25] <snap-l> or jcastro
[13:26] <snap-l> If it's audio, I have some opinions. :)
[13:56] <rick_h_> first new book buy in a while, curse you oreilly sales
[13:57] <snap-l> Which one?
[13:57] <rick_h_> regex cookbook
[13:58] <snap-l> Damnit rick_h_
[13:59] <snap-l> I was so good.
[13:59] <snap-l> but then I saw the 21st century C book
[13:59] <brousch> Makefiles are fun
[13:59] <rick_h_> lol
[13:59] <rick_h_> brousch: yea, the cream of the 'DRY' crop
[14:14] <shakes808> snap-l: More of a video server. I will ask those two to see what they would recommend and how. Thank you for your input.
[14:15] <shakes808> jcastro: krondor: if you could shed some light for me about video servers, that would be much appreciated.
[14:16] <tony-smlr> shakes808: I have a ubuntu file server to store the video and music then use xbmc at the TV...  What is your friend looking to do?
[14:19] <dsschnau> Thinking about setting up a media computer to hook up to my tv in my living room. Mostly so my girlfriend can watch movies.. I was thinking if I built a windows box for it I could run some classic game emulators
[14:30] <dsschnau> shakes808 mentioned i could do all that with an xbox but I'm skeptical.. would I be able to read and stream movie/game files from a network share? and is there good emulation software available for xbox?
[15:20] <krondor> dsschnau:  xbox1?
[15:21] <krondor> shakes808:  what you looking for
[15:27] <jrwren> i use xbmc on xbox1
[15:27] <jrwren> i love it.
[15:27] <dsschnau> krondor: yeah - an xbox 1 (running xbmc) i suppose.
[15:28] <jrwren> its not zomg awesome latest. icpu is not fast enough to decode 720p h264
[15:28] <jrwren> the standard def stuff plays awesome, and on 100mbit it scrubs faster than anything around.
[15:29] <krondor> dsschnau:  xbox 1 has a lot of emulators, but lacks some grunt to run things (like HD, dreamcast/ps1/2 roms) etc.. works well for nintendo, snes, genesis, gameboy etc..
[15:29] <dsschnau> it would be connected to a 1080p tv, hmm
[15:29] <krondor> dsschnau:  if you have the component HD adapter for it, it will drive 720p, but can't handle 720p file playback relaly
[15:30] <jrwren> best connection you can get is component video, which I think maxes at 720p.
[15:30] <jrwren> it looks beautiful at 720p on my 1080p tv
[15:30] <jrwren> its an excellent "good enough" device. its not great at ZOMG I MUST HAVE THE LATEST HOTNESS
[15:30] <shakes808> krondor: dsschnau is my coworker that was inquiring about making a media server. You are assisting him now. :D
[15:30] <shakes808> Thank you for your help like usual
[15:31] <dsschnau> sounds like it would be very cost effective... an xbox 1 would be super cheap.
[15:32] <jrwren> i got mine 5yrs ago, already hard modded with 120G drive for $40
[15:32] <jrwren> never use the storage on the 120 though, i just smb stream everything
[15:33] <dsschnau> that was my next concern.. what would be a good solution for storage for it?
[15:34] <krondor> xbmc4xbox is the fork of xbmc for xbox1.  xbmc no longer supports xbox1.
[15:34] <krondor> http://www.xbmc4xbox.org.uk/
[15:34] <krondor> some of the emulators for xbox1; http://www.x-scene.com/software/software.php?page=emulators
[15:35] <jrwren> samba share works great for storage
[15:37] <krondor> I still think xbmc on xbox1 had the best visualizations to music at 720p they're gorgeous
[15:37] <krondor> did get some stutter with higher bitrate mp3 and flac I seem to recall, been a bit.
[17:09] <brousch> It's way too quiet in here
[17:11] <Blazeix> WOOP WOOP
[17:11] <Blazeix> ...did that help?
[17:33] <tony-smlr> I use xbmc on a pc with stripped down ubuntu   "XBMCbuntu"  http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=XBMCbuntu
[17:54] <shakes80> how do i change my user name in there?
[17:54] <shakes80> here
[17:55] <rick_h_>  /nick something
[18:00] <greg-g> man, google analytics sure does take a ton of ram in Fx
[18:10] <brousch> Where was this when I was at UM? http://games.slashdot.org/story/12/08/28/1517245/welcome-to-the-university-of-michigans-computer-and-video-game-archive-video
[18:11] <greg-g> it's been there for a while
[18:11] <greg-g> my school (School of Info) had game night there a few times
[18:13] <brousch> The Dude was built when I went there. I pirated warcraft 1 on floppies in there
[18:13] <brousch> But no game center
[18:14] <greg-g> hah
[18:16] <rick_h_> sqlalchemy taking over the world http://goo.gl/dokpl
[19:06] <jrwren> ut oh... i am reading cythonize... static typing python... i may be walking a slipery slope :)
[19:20] <rick_h_> lol watch out jrwren
[19:20] <rick_h_> cpython is good enough for everyone :P
[19:25] <shakes808> >:{ IIS
[19:32] <jrwren> when cython says stuff like, 120 times faster than python, it is hard to ignore, esp given the type of data processing we do
[19:44] <brousch> rick_h_: Bah, let me know when the Django ORM is SQLAlchemy, then I'll believe it's taking over the world
[20:28] <snap-l> greg-g: Do you know if they accept donations of old consoles?
[20:29] <snap-l> I have a few that I don't care to keep anymore, and rather than sell them, it'd be neat to see them put to good use.
[20:29] <greg-g> snap-l: if they don't have them, most likely, not sure what the policy really is though
[20:30] <greg-g> but, they're friendly and would receive an email well
[20:49] <snap-l> Heh, I got selected for Project Sputnik, but I don't have $1200 laying around for a new machine.
[20:53] <shakes808> snap-l: You can donate your old systems to me ;D
[20:55] <snap-l> shakes808: I'm pretty sure you don't give a crap about the Colecovision. ;)
[20:56] <shakes808> REALLY
[20:56] <shakes808> YES
[20:56] <shakes808> Kalicovision?
[20:56] <shakes808> SOmething like that !!!!
[20:56] <shakes808> HELLS YEAH!!!!
[20:56] <shakes808> If you are going to be throwing it away, bring it tomorrow.
[20:57] <snap-l> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ColecoVision
[20:57] <snap-l> I'm not throwing it out, I'm just not interested in it as much as the other systems.
[20:58] <shakes808> gotcha
[20:58] <snap-l> But if you're interested in it, lmk
[20:58] <shakes808> lol I will find it a home, next to my 2 Ataris, 1985 Nintendo, Dreamcast, N64, Sega Genesis, PS2. :D
[20:58] <snap-l> I'd rather it go to someone who actually respects
[20:59] <snap-l> shakes808: You didn't happen to ever hit Cinciclassic, did you? :)
[21:01] <shakes808> nope. I have to go, will talk to you either later on tonight or tomorrow. I will look up that cinciclassic later :D
[21:01] <snap-l> You'd know it if you were there. :)
[21:02] <snap-l> Anywho, I'd have to get it from storage, so it would be next week
