greg-gbrousch: I don't get the mandarin tweet00:00
MneumonicHi everyone.  Never even knew there was a channel for Michigan Ubuntu users until tonight.00:08
snap-lHey Mneumonic, welcome!00:10
MneumonicGlad to meet other Michigan Ubuntu users.  It seems that nobody around here has even heard of Linux00:11
snap-lWhere abouts?00:11
MneumonicI'm currently in Clawson00:11
snap-lAh, very cool00:11
Mneumonicto be fair, i only recently moved back to Michigan, so I don't know many people in the area to know if people use linux or not :p00:12
snap-lheh00:12
snap-lYeah, there's a thriving linux community here00:12
Mneumonicvery awesome!00:12
snap-lTHere's also a Michigan UNIX Users Group which has a heavy Linux bias00:13
snap-lhttp://mug.org00:13
Mneumonicit even has a podcast?00:13
snap-lOne of the MUG members has a podcast, called Saturday Morning Linux Review00:15
snap-lactually, several folks are on that show.00:16
MneumonicThat is great!  I am always looking for new linux podcasts.00:16
Blazeixsnap-l: ah-hah! i knew i wasn't crazy http://linux.die.net/man/1/pkg-config00:24
Blazeixabout this00:24
snap-lrick_h_: http://identi.ca/notice/9740668612:04
brouschCrazy Cat People from the sound of it12:05
rick_h_snap-l: :P12:11
nullspaceyawn12:12
brouschRick's Ranting Raving Ringtail Racoon is Ubuntu 13.0412:15
rick_h_:P12:16
brouschWait, Raring, not Raving12:17
brouschI realized last night that I have no urge to install 12.10. I feel like Kubuntu 12.04 is really damn good on my desktop and 12.04 servers are all I need12:21
brouschI might sit on this for 2 years12:21
snap-lYeah, I'm sticking with 12.04 for now12:28
snap-lThere's no compelling reason for me to switch right now12:28
snap-lthough I need to get $WORKMACHINE to 12.0412:28
brouschI'm running only 10.04 and 12.04 right now12:29
snap-lI have 11.10 at work12:29
snap-lhaven't had the desire to screw up my machine quite yet. :)12:29
rick_h_web app integration not pulling you in? AMZ buying from unity?12:29
rick_h_:P12:30
snap-lrick_h_: The only thing really pulling me in is the software render for Unity12:30
brouschUnity does not excite me at all12:30
snap-lAnd that's nice for VMs12:30
brouschMy VMs are all servers or Windows12:31
snap-lrick_h_: I chalk up the AMZ integration as Mark's version of "One more thing" ala Steve Jobs12:31
snap-lexcept his "One more thing"s tend to be features that send the community into a tailspin12:32
snap-lright or wrong12:32
nullspacegah no marketplace morning report podcast this morning, wtf12:35
brouschOh great, now rick_h_ can lint our code right from the web http://lint.io/14:00
rick_h_watch out14:01
jrwrenhail ringtail!14:26
jrwrenerr, wrong hail homenym ?14:26
jrwrenerr, wow, I cannot spell14:26
jrwrenBlazeix: what about pkg-config?14:27
snap-lSo is this new version of Ubuntu going to root through garbage, and get cantankerous when you try to shoo it away?14:27
snap-ljrwren: Was trying to remember it's name.14:28
jrwrenbrousch: move to 12.10, the opentack stuff is much more refined. this is the release that really gets it right.14:28
brouschI don't need openstack stuff14:29
brouschI am small14:29
jrwrenyou need it, you just don't know it.14:29
brouschWhat are you, Steve Jobs?14:30
jrwrencertainly not14:30
snap-lY'know, I never saw Steve Jobs and Jay Wren in the same room together ever14:30
snap-lhmmmm14:30
rick_h_you're supposed to use lxc and juju and build yourself a sputnick laptop14:31
rick_h_and enjoy the new improved unity with more shiny14:31
snap-lI swear, people must think we just make shit up14:31
rick_h_damn, sputnik I fail14:32
jrwrenwhoa, Bill Hill died of a sudden heart attack.14:38
jjesseyeah i saw that, it sucks14:40
jjesserecently posted a blog entry on his new startup if i remember correctly14:40
jjessein case anyone cares the Kubuntu official release is up for downloading14:41
jjessehttp://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/quantal/release/14:41
jrwrenoh, we are official now? i wondered why i didn't have many updates :)14:43
jjesseat least kubuntu is official14:45
jjessefor a download14:45
jjessethe do-release-upgrade bits haven't flipped for me14:45
brouschjjesse: Let me know if anything blows up14:45
jjessebrousch, will do14:46
jrwrenmake sure you aren't pointing to lts only14:54
jrwren/etc/update-manager/release-upgrades  should say Prompt=normal, not lts14:55
jrwrenand I think every lts upgrade changes this back to lts14:56
jrwrenso you need to change it to normal after every lts reelase.14:56
rick_h_brousch: http://mindref.blogspot.com/2012/10/python-web-pep8-consistency.html now this guys will really get you15:37
snap-lWow, that's a brilliant metric15:40
snap-lSo, when are we moving to wheezy.web?15:40
brouschDjango beats PYramid!16:00
jrwrenthose metrics are foolish16:08
jrwreni sure hope no one makes decisions based on them.16:08
greg-gI love the image associated with this article (haven't read the article yet):16:11
greg-ghttp://opensource.com/life/12/10/david-eaves-says-we-should-use-soft-skills-manage-communities16:11
rick_h_brousch: I don't get that. 10709 > 3627 + 266 + 139816:12
rick_h_he says pyramid += chameleon + webob16:12
rick_h_ah, but this is per LoC in the graph16:12
greg-gWhy Geeks Love Wood: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/2506016/highlight/2742716:38
greg-grick_h_: ^^16:38
greg-gcan't hear him very well, but, yeah16:39
rick_h_greg-g: heh, just watching my new DVD that came in the mail today over some soup for lunch http://blip.tv/popular-woodworking-videos/build-a-sawbench-with-christopher-schwarz-8211-trailer-432052016:42
greg-grick_h_: what's the purpose of the triangle cutout on the top bar?16:45
greg-gbrb, call16:45
snap-lbrousch: http://identi.ca/event/ef358f4c-021c-4eca-b457-c815b41b5dff16:52
rick_h_greg-g: it's for taking a board (say 6" wide by 5' long) and 'ripping' it down it's length. Say, into two 3" wide by 5' long boards16:53
rick_h_it helps the two parts stay supported as you cut down the middle there16:53
greg-grick_h_: oh, so you put that bench under the long board the long way and cut down the center of the longboard?17:09
rick_h_greg-g: right17:09
greg-gsweet17:09
greg-gI have my grandpa's old wood working toolbox at my parent's place. He was a carpenter (along with farmer) and built a couple houses.17:10
rick_h_it's kind of cool. I bought some extra lumber from a guy last night17:10
greg-ghaven't had a chance to use them, yet, unfortunately, but I love his toolbox. It's a big heavy wooden box with levels and such for everything.17:10
rick_h_he got laid off of work and ended up building kitchens for a couple of people while looking for work17:10
greg-ghe was definitely one of those awesome old guys from that era who could fix anything and make almost everything17:11
greg-gnice17:11
rick_h_greg-g: http://blog.lostartpress.com/2012/09/20/white-star-line-tool-chest/ kind of cool speaking of old toolbox stuff17:12
jrwrengreg-g: that could be you, if you wanted to be.17:12
greg-gjrwren: honestly, I need to stop with all of my excuses and start working towards that17:13
jrwrenif it is something you enjoy, then do it.17:15
jrwrenme, I like the idea of it more than I like actually doing it.17:15
jrwreni'll stick to my c-code and starcraft for enjoyment :)17:15
rick_h_yea, my big goal/lesson this time around is to enjoy the work itself17:15
rick_h_less than just trying to get the result17:15
greg-gword17:15
rick_h_because it takes for ever in spare time to get the thing and you end up getting all in your head with things not moving fast enough, etc17:16
rick_h_this way they come out better because I'm taking the time to just enjoy the time in the garage, so doing almost all hand tools, no dust mask, headphones, just a box stereo in the corner of the garage17:16
greg-gawesome17:17
rick_h_smoser: is there an AMI for 12.10 out?17:17
greg-gunfortunately, I picked the exact wrong city for this (well, along with NYC)17:17
rick_h_smoser: not seeing it in the list http://cloud.ubuntu.com/ami/17:18
greg-gyes yes, I need to move back17:18
rick_h_greg-g: heh yea, you'd be surprised though.17:18
rick_h_http://blog.lostartpress.com/2012/09/28/sam-cappo-a-woodworker-you-should-meet/ and on his blog http://planedetails.com/?p=10417:19
snap-lgreg-g: Just vent it into your neighbors house, and call it high fiber, all natural, vegan air.17:19
rick_h_greg-g: and then there are guys that do the shared workspace thing for work space, though that's a lot less convienent17:19
greg-gsnap-l: :P17:19
greg-grick_h_: yeah, the shared space would be cool to learn at, though17:19
rick_h_yea, definitely17:19
snap-lgreg-g: You'd pay good money for that at WHole Foods. ;)17:20
greg-gactually, I could probably sell the saw dust (for cheap) to people doing composting toliets :)17:24
greg-g(probably just give away, can't imagine others actually sell it)17:24
rick_h_yea, some buy it to put into those hoppers that make the little wood pellets for fuel17:25
rick_h_for mulch, some stuff keeps bugs away17:26
rick_h_though some woods, like walnut, are bad for plants and you can't use17:26
brouschComposting toilets?17:26
brouschWhen there's a perfectly good sewer system in place?17:26
rick_h_I stopped reading with composting, was enough for me :P17:26
nullspacedamn it mid day update podcast is delayed too, wtf is going on are their scripts messed up are the tubes clogged, or is this all being done by an intern with a hangover17:27
rick_h_I vote hangover!17:27
nullspaceyou'd think this whole thing would be automated...17:28
rick_h_that takes someone that knows how to do it17:28
rick_h_you know it's some intern in the corner that has to do it17:28
greg-gbrousch: / rick_h_ as someone who used a bucket in an outhouse with sawdust to cover each, uh, use, I can attest that the smell is practically non-existent. Plus, that stuff is AMAZING fruit tree fertilizer17:28
brouschPlease move out of the city to do those things17:29
greg-gthe bucket outhouse was in rural missouri, indeed17:29
jrwrenoh yeah, i wanted to watch Mark S.'s openstack keynote. was it recorded? is it posted on web?17:30
greg-guhhhhhhh17:31
greg-ghttp://ubuntu.virginmedia.com/releases//quantal/ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso17:31
greg-gthat's what I got when I went through the online ubuntu.com download process (and clicked that I don't want to pay now)17:31
rick_h_jrwren: it was streamed17:32
rick_h_not sure if it was recorded17:32
rick_h_was cool to check out since he intro'd the juju gui17:32
brouschUbuntu isn't released until jcastro_ tells me it's released17:32
jrwrengreg-g: torrent?17:33
greg-ghaha http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/thank-you?release=latest&bits=64&distro=desktop&status=zeroc17:33
nullspaceintern comment got the podcast out17:35
rick_h_nullspace: what podcast gets you all in a bunch?17:36
nullspaceAPM marketplace17:36
nullspacethey have a morning and mid-day show17:36
nullspacethey usually get the podcast out pretty quickly, except lately it's gotten a little slow17:37
rick_h_meh, it's a podcast17:37
brouschYou should express your anger in a sharply-worded tweet17:38
nullspaceyeah except they have a release time on the webpage17:38
nullspacebrousch: already did, it got the wheel turning17:39
* rick_h_ is always impressed with how big a dvd file actually is :/17:39
brousch4GB17:39
snap-lYeah, DVDs are good sized17:39
* snap-l had an idea to have the record companies use FLAC files on DVDs for their next format17:40
rick_h_I got thinking "I'll just rip this dvd and backup the iso to s3 so I have a copy...boy that's taking a while to dd...1.5GB...this is going to take a while to upload to s317:40
snap-lbut it appears they would rather go with DVD-Audio (which is dead), SACD (which is copy-protected by having no devices on computers that support it) or Blueray Audio17:40
brouschrick_h_: Do you use a client to upload to S3?17:42
rick_h_brousch: no, just a .py script17:42
brouschMaybe something that can do it in chunks17:42
rick_h_2.2GB ugh17:43
* rick_h_ needs more upload BW17:43
rick_h_heh, upload it on my 4g mifi...go fast but use my whole month's BW allotment17:43
brouschgeez17:45
greg-grick_h_: thoughts on the anarchists tool chest book?17:46
rick_h_greg-g: It's on my list to get to, but currently backlogged with the jointer and cabinetmaker and some stuff on the shakers17:47
rick_h_Since I work out of my garage I'm more interested in hanging tool cabinets and such than a toolbox that'd take up floor space atm17:47
greg-gahhh, good point17:47
rick_h_https://www.dropbox.com/s/ui9i4map2owz6vv/2012-10-13%2020.52.04.jpg17:49
rick_h_though I am getting my hand tool collection into shape :)17:49
greg-gok ok, back to work, enough wood pron videos17:55
rick_h_:)17:55
brouschrick_h_: S3 multipart upload http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/uploadobjusingmpu.html17:57
rick_h_brousch: cool yea they support it17:58
rick_h_just my little python script using boto doesn't do it that way17:58
brouschFix it!17:58
rick_h_dude, I didn't even get done with bookie rss feeds last night17:58
jrwrensnap-l: there is no next format.17:59
smoserrick_h_, i think that is somewhat deprecated . i hate that they did that. i'll poke around a bit.18:34
smoserrick_h_, https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/quantal/release/18:34
rick_h_smoser: thanks18:36
rick_h_smoser: yea, I had to look I know they changed it up a bit but had a guy in an irc channel asking and figured they'd be somewhere18:36
snap-ljrwren: Yeah, CDs are pretty much the defacto standard for physical media18:50
snap-lThough SACD has a foothold in Classical18:50
