[00:25] <derekv> i'm holding a nexus 7 from work
[00:26] <derekv> and I'm still glad I got an ipad, but not becuase i think it was a good value or even better
[00:26] <derekv> i mean this thing is nice
[00:27] <derekv> might but one
[00:27] <derekv> s/ut/uy
[00:29] <derekv> only thing ipad has on it is larger screen, decent audio apps, and I get to own an ios device as an aspiring mobile developer
[00:29] <derekv> but yea if the goal was to have a tablet, this thing crushes the ipad
[02:55] <derekv> i have this idea re escaping from weeping angles
[02:55] <derekv> it involves a sledge
[03:05] <snap-l> Doctor Who?
[03:22] <derekv> yes
[03:32] <rick_h_> party
[11:22] <snap-l> Good morning
[15:26] <Blazeix> ah, nothing like receiving PSDs from a designer to make my blood boil.
[15:26] <snap-l> Send them back as .xcf
[15:26] <brousch> hehe
[15:27] <snap-l> or .tiff files, via e-mail
[15:27] <Blazeix> not even the psd format - i'm fine with that
[15:27] <Blazeix> just the utter lack of user experience considerations
[15:27] <snap-l> Ah, the "it's all there, just in the bitmap"
[15:28] <snap-l> "This needs to be 238px from the left margin"
[15:28] <Blazeix> yeah, and the transparent parts of the sprites aren't transparent, they have the background image as part of the layer
[15:28] <snap-l> fail
[15:28] <Blazeix> i do appreciate his gratuitous use of drop shadows ~
[15:28] <snap-l> ugh
[15:28] <snap-l> and of course, it's not in a separate layer, is it?
[15:29] <Blazeix> well, it is a separate layer, but somehow the background image got rasterized to part of that layer
[15:29] <snap-l> Is he / she an approachable designer?
[15:29] <Blazeix> someone should also tell him that menus that suddenly omit items depending on the context is _so_ microsoft office 2003.
[15:30] <snap-l> Hey, don't knock it. Many design I did had that. ;)
[15:30] <Blazeix> yeah, i'll bitch at him about the quality of the PSDs, but the lack of ux considerations is more troubling
[15:30] <snap-l> I'm sure those 16x16 gif files would be awesome on 1920x monitors.
[15:33] <brousch> I prefer menu items that change to a more muted color if they're not avilabl
[16:10] <greg-g> I prefer NO MENU ITEMS AT ALL, muahahhaa
[16:10] <greg-g> sorry, don't know where that came from... I'll go away for a bit..
[17:47] <krondor> snap-l: I was annoyed with myself and that rackspace challenge, went back and did it right.  Time was 7 mins :)
[17:51] <snap-l> heh
[17:51] <snap-l> 3 minutes is a hard nut to crack.
[17:57] <krondor> yeah 3:40 I think was the record.  It was a fun challenge though, I liked the mysql test.  Had a kind of duh moment there
[17:58] <krondor> mysql.php file had user=blah password=IAMWRONG database=blah .. I'm like sitting there how do I crack the password on the db.
[17:58] <krondor> oh wait, sudo mysql -i grant all on etc.. haha duh
[18:14] <jrwren> IIRC if you have root on a box its easy to set the mysql root password too.
[18:21] <krondor> it's really just the source of that PHP file that throws you because you see WRONGPASSWORD
[18:22] <krondor> sets your mind on the course of, let's find the right one instead of let's set the right one.
[19:15] <brousch> Heh, Carl Karsten outed me on the ChiPy mailing list when they were talking about a Python and Android meeting. I've been unlurked!
