snap-lhttp://decafbad.net/2012/10/22/coming-together-as-a-community-ohio-linuxfest-and-ubuntu-12-10-release-party/ <- meant to post that instead02:52
snap-lkrondor: Your site's RSS is acting wonky13:42
snap-lkeep getting a connection reset by peer13:44
snap-lthough I can't replicate in Chrome, only in rss2email13:44
snap-lhttp://www.suburbanvwoftroy.com/service/xtime-form.htm <- Fucking flash14:26
brouschI bet Flash is a bad lover14:32
snap-lBut it's nice to be able to schedule my appointment online14:33
snap-lThat's rocking.14:34
snap-lOnly way it would be better is if it sent me a meeting notice to my calendar.14:34
snap-lbut I'm sure that's not a priority for them. :)14:34
krondorsnap-l:  hmm, I'll check it out14:36
snap-lLet me run it again real quick to see if it's still generating problems.14:38
snap-lHuh, now I'm not getting the error14:50
krondorsnap-l: it's hosted off github, so maybe something w/ their serving up the page?  I've been hitting it with a few rss and no probs I see14:51
snap-lWeird.15:02
snap-lhttp://soundcloud.com/brosseaupr/2112-overture-royal?secret_token=s-bCx7H <- 2112 Symphonic15:03
snap-lWe have the Pink Floyd Symphonic Album. It alternates between cheesy and majestic15:03
brouschShould I be concerned that ShockHorror, "The UK's creepiest Horror Magazine, printed bi-monthly in full colour & covering the best of Horror film, tattoos, events, comics, music, books + more!", started following me on Twitter?17:28
snap-lbrousch: Well, should it?17:48
snap-lCan't answer that for anyone but yourself. :)17:48
brouschI don't know what I've been tweeting to attract such an entity17:48
brouschIt worries me17:48
jupedlol18:07
rick_h_jrwren: yea, as brousch says, check out whoosh19:50
rick_h_just have to make sure you take into account the file based/locking issues19:50
brouschsnap-l: I have discovered that Sludge is one of my favorite metal genres19:54
jrwrenwe are looking into xapian which is supposedly a lot faster19:57
rick_h_yea19:57
rick_h_but I don't think it scales out as well as solr/elasticsearch19:57
derekvwhat i'm learning at cengage is it isn't good enough just thatI have linux, needs to be my linux20:04
derekvi mean, it gets in your way20:05
Blazeix??20:06
derekvalt button1 drag anywhere on a window moves it20:06
derekvalt button2 drag resizes it20:06
derekvi don't care if anyone else likes that or wants it that way or doesn't20:07
derekvthey shouldn't have to20:07
derekvits what I expect, and then I don't have it I'm constantly slightly frustrated20:07
derekvand of course there's a hundred little things like that20:07
Blazeixoh, and you aren't able to run your own wm?20:07
derekvno we are always pairing20:08
derekvi think for the occasions where i'm not i might be able to set up a session and copy in my fluxbox config20:08
derekvhaha i remember when I was an fvwm2 user20:09
brouschWhoa, x crashed20:10
derekvalso, i'm hating the hell out of cinnimon20:11
derekvunity is ok, gnome classic is ok, both have their issues20:12
derekvbut cinnamon keeps getting installed and there is some disagreement on this: i think it is crashy, does things which are unexpected, and unconfigurable20:12
derekvbut there's someone else who has the opinion that it is stable and just works20:13
Blazeixcinnamon is one of the gnome forks, right?20:13
derekvidk it comes with mint I guess20:13
derekvits one of the mint flavors20:13
derekvjust installed mint in a VM this morning to see how it looks there20:14
derekvhaven't played with it yet20:14
derekvi wonder if anyone has used spacial audio cues to simulate workspaces / window position analogies , eg for audio interfaces for the blind20:22
brouschderekv: Combine with something like kinect?20:23
derekvbrousch: good thinking20:23
derekvwhy can't any webcam be used?20:25
derekvis there hardware in that thing?20:25
derekvspecialized20:26
brouschYes, it overlays a laser grid to sense distance20:27
brouschYou could do it with a webcam and simplecv20:27
brouschColored gloves to make it easier20:27
derekvno, fine20:31
derekvkinect20:31
derekvuse that want thing for gestures, it looks like a mic20:32
derekvdidn't the wii controllers have mics in them?20:32
brouschthey have speakers20:32
derekvwe totally have a tedtalk here20:32
brouschI have access to 2 nearly-blind programmers20:33
derekvunfortunatly there's the limitation that open source voice recognition solutions aren't very good20:34
derekvbut the blind can type/gesture fine20:34
derekvthere's a symetry to speaking back to a speaking computer but its not important20:35
derekvsomeone has probably already done all this i'm sure20:36
snap-lbrousch: Um, cool? (was re: sludge)20:40
brouschIt is cool that I found a genre for what I like20:40
snap-lI can only take so much sludge metal before I want to hurt people. :)20:40
brouschMakes it easier to find more20:40
snap-lthough I think it also gets confused with doom metal20:41
snap-lhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_doom_metal_bands20:41
snap-lThere's a few on that list that I love.20:42
snap-lie: I could listen to Corossion of Conformity over The Melvins20:43
brouschahahahah http://dopethrone.bandcamp.com/track/aint-no-sunshine20:43
snap-lAll I know is there's one type that shows up on Snakenet Metal Radio20:45
snap-lFuneral and drone doom20:46
snap-lThat's it.20:46
derekvfuneral metal?20:46
snap-lFuneral Doom20:46
derekvare there bands that self identify as funeral doom20:47
snap-lhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ma1_menlyZ420:47
snap-lACtually, that's not bad either20:47
brouschI love the heavy, downtuned guitars20:47
snap-lI'd listen to track one of this20:47
derekvdon't overcommit20:47
snap-lOK, let's just say I know it when I hear it. :)20:48
* snap-l needs to stop with the hating of genres because it gets me into trouble.20:48
brouschheh20:48

snap-lThat's all I ask20:50
brouschWTF is that Sunn?20:51
brouschDoes it go on like that the whole song?20:51
brouschI think it does. 7 minutes of that?20:51
snap-lbrousch: I don't know20:51
brouschOM vocals are too normal20:52
brouschsnap-l: I'm not liking the Doom as much20:55
brouschIt's slow but not as heavy20:55
snap-lWell, that's funeral doom20:58
snap-ler, not funeral20:58
snap-ldrone doom20:58
brouschMelvins have potential. I'll have to find more20:59

derekvSure.21:15
derekvI might need to hear some more details21:16
derekvesx, xen, kvm21:22
derekvI thought about experimenting with to what extent freebsd jails could be made to act cloud-like with some smart scripting21:23
derekvafk21:24
jrwrenall that sounds awesome.21:26
jrwrenwe were more thinking openstack or cloudstack or whatever.21:26
jrwrenand ceph or other for s3 like store21:26
derekvsweet , i haven't done anything with openstack before21:27
derekvafk for real21:27

greg-gI love audio tools that use defaults that I approve, instead of stupid ones21:53
greg-gexample of stupid: Banshee (stupid file/folder hierarchy structure)21:53
greg-gexample good: split2flac (it splits a CD sized flac file into individual tracks, using correct, in my view, file/folder structure)21:54
