| derekv | Found libxul-10.0.9, but you need to upgrade to libxul<2. | 02:14 |
| derekv | god damn dependancies | 02:14 |
| snap-l | Good morning | 12:29 |
| brousch | sure | 12:29 |
| snap-l | brousch: You know it is. :) | 12:29 |
| brousch | Got up at 5 due to coughing child | 12:30 |
| snap-l | And it's good | 12:30 |
| jrwren | kids suck. | 13:03 |
| brousch | jrwren: I'm contacting social services | 13:05 |
| brousch | child protective services | 13:05 |
| jrwren | stories like that are why i didn't want to have kids. | 13:08 |
| jrwren | i just heard "remember I told you about my son?" me: "yah, trying to have him not do heroine" him: "we got the OD call from hospital." | 13:09 |
| jrwren | UGH | 13:09 |
| snap-l | I'd rather have a kid that I try to keep out of the garbage, thank you. | 13:19 |
| snap-l | jrwren: Give my best to the family. That's got to be tough. | 13:20 |
| shakes808 | Morning al | 13:56 |
| shakes808 | all | 13:56 |
| shakes808 | Does anyone know of a script that will take a column in an excel file, read the contents, and move the file that it reads to a new location? | 13:57 |
| snap-l | shakes808: What version of Excel? | 14:02 |
| shakes808 | 2010 | 14:04 |
| snap-l | Openpyxl is your friend | 14:04 |
| snap-l | It'll read and write Excel files | 14:05 |
| shakes808 | I will be able to use this to create a batch script to copy file \\xx\yy\zz.txt and move it to \\tt\ee\zz.txt | 14:06 |
| snap-l | wWell, Python will be able to handle all of your requirements as stated. | 14:07 |
| snap-l | But you'll have to write it. | 14:07 |
| snap-l | I love my mom. I love my mom. I love my mom. FUCKING STOP SENDING ME THIS POLITICAL BULLSHIT. I love my mom. | 14:13 |
| snap-l | http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/o/obama-report-card.htm | 14:13 |
| shakes808 | I glanced through the docs and didn't see anything that would help me out. | 14:16 |
| shakes808 | thank you though | 14:16 |
| snap-l | huh? | 14:16 |
| shakes808 | :\ | 14:16 |
| shakes808 | lol | 14:16 |
| snap-l | openpyxl will open an Excel file, and read it | 14:16 |
| snap-l | how will that not help? | 14:17 |
| snap-l | http://packages.python.org/openpyxl/usage.html#read-an-existing-workbook | 14:17 |
| shakes808 | .. I am looking for something to read it but also take that file and copy and move it to another location. I guess I am looking to create a batch script to read it and then copy and move the files to another location | 14:18 |
| snap-l | Oh FFS. | 14:19 |
| snap-l | http://docs.python.org/2/library/shutil.html | 14:19 |
| brousch | shakes808: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/123198/how-do-i-copy-a-file-in-python | 14:20 |
| brousch | So you open your file, read the columns, close the file, manipulate the data you read, then copy the file | 14:20 |
| snap-l | ^^ | 14:20 |
| snap-l | No, it's not going to do everything for you, you'll still have to write some code to make it happen. :) | 14:21 |
| shakes808 | Thank you, that is a little better. I need to have it in a batch script. It needs to be run by people at work and we don't run Python here. | 14:23 |
| snap-l | ugh | 14:23 |
| snap-l | batch as in windows batch? | 14:24 |
| shakes808 | yes | 14:24 |
| shakes808 | This is for work | 14:24 |
| shakes808 | :\ | 14:24 |
| shakes808 | I know | 14:24 |
| shakes808 | If it was for myself that would be great | 14:24 |
| snap-l | Maybe jrwren can give some guidance then | 14:24 |
| brousch | read data from excel in a batch file? ouch | 14:24 |
| shakes808 | I have it in an excel file now, but can make it into a flat file | 14:25 |
| brousch | maybe you can do it all from within Excel with macros and VBA | 14:25 |
| snap-l | Well, the Excel part might have some luck with Excel's VB | 14:25 |
| snap-l | but moving things around should be entertaining | 14:25 |
| shakes808 | lol | 14:26 |
| brousch | I suspect Powershell could do it, but I know fuckall about it | 14:26 |
| shakes808 | ha ha | 14:26 |
| brousch | I'm serious | 14:26 |
| brousch | http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sriram_reddy1/archive/2012/07/16/excel-with-powershell.aspx | 14:27 |
| Blazeix | i've heard good things about the library NPOI, if you want to use C# | 14:29 |
| Blazeix | i haven't used it though | 14:29 |
| snap-l | Something tells me we're not the best folks to ask on this. ;) | 14:30 |
| shakes808 | ha ha | 14:30 |
| shakes808 | At least you all are pointing me in the right direction | 14:30 |
| shakes808 | more help than ##programming | 14:30 |
| shakes808 | lol | 14:30 |
| shakes808 | They said "find someone who knows batch" | 14:31 |
| shakes808 | ... | 14:31 |
| shakes808 | and then went silent | 14:31 |
| shakes808 | lol | 14:31 |
| snap-l | Give me a break | 14:31 |
| shakes808 | Kit Kat? | 14:31 |
| snap-l | No. | 14:31 |
| Blazeix | does it have be batch or just run on windows? | 14:32 |
| Blazeix | i'd stay away from batch scripting if possible | 14:32 |
| shakes808 | It has to run on windows, but again this is for work and not everyone has Python. The common factor is Windows | 14:32 |
| snap-l | Yeah, there's very little error control | 14:32 |
| snap-l | IS this to be run by multiple folks? | 14:33 |
| shakes808 | I could try to make a C# program for it, but that would take too long | 14:33 |
| Blazeix | yeah, so don't inflict batch scripting on yourself. i'd go with C# or powershell | 14:33 |
| shakes808 | yes, there is going to be a handful of us using this | 14:33 |
| snap-l | OK, this gets into wrinkles about what happens when two folks run at the same time | 14:33 |
| shakes808 | That won't be an issue | 14:34 |
| snap-l | ok | 14:34 |
| shakes808 | This script will only be run when new forms get added | 14:34 |
| shakes808 | and we have a change control system to notify who and when | 14:34 |
| jrwren | I don't do windows batch. | 14:37 |
| jrwren | first rule of windows: install cygwin | 14:37 |
| shakes808 | HA HA | 14:38 |
| jrwren | i'm not joking. | 14:40 |
| jrwren | a C# program would take too long? it should take just a few minutes :) | 14:40 |
| shakes808 | Haven't done too much C# | 14:41 |
| shakes808 | I have been bouncing around with languages instead of focusing on one specific that my inner squirrel gets confused | 14:42 |
| shakes808 | lol | 14:42 |
| jrwren | you could always ship python with your solution. "here, run this exe" | 14:43 |
| shakes808 | lol | 14:44 |
| Blazeix | broken record time: he's not joking | 14:44 |
| jrwren | its what dropbox does. its why py2exe exists. | 14:45 |
| shakes808 | gotcha | 14:46 |
| shakes808 | I am going to have to work on this | 14:47 |
| shakes808 | thank you all for the help | 14:47 |
| shakes808 | :D | 14:47 |
| snap-l | shakes808: np. If you need help with the Python stuff, feel free to ping. | 14:48 |
| shakes808 | will do. I will be working on this after hours, but will bring my questions ;D | 14:48 |
| shakes808 | how was everyone's weekend? Any plans for Halloween? | 14:52 |
| snap-l | Weekend was nice. Got a chance to play some video games | 15:00 |
| snap-l | did some yard work, which is likely undone. :) | 15:01 |
| snap-l | Got my ass handed to me by Blazeix in Xonotic. :) | 15:01 |
| snap-l | Will have to fire up the server again some time soon | 15:02 |
| snap-l | now that I know how to get it to work and be seen by folks other than just JoDee and myself. | 15:02 |
| Blazeix | i love xonotic. i'm excited that they've actually released some improvements over nexuiz | 15:25 |
| Blazeix | for a while things seemed a bit dicey | 15:25 |
| jrwren | anyone heard from Jim and Meredith? | 15:29 |
| snap-l | Blazeix: Yeah, it's smoother than Nexuiz. JoDee commented on how smoothly it ran on her low-powered machine | 15:36 |
| snap-l | Of course I tweaked the hell out of it before she ran it. ;) | 15:36 |
| shakes808 | snap-l: what are you serving up | 15:47 |
| snap-l | Xonotic server on occasion | 15:48 |
| === jjesse-android is now known as jjesse-home | ||
| greg-g | oh, xonotic is a derivative of nexuiz? | 16:13 |
| * greg-g hadn't heard of it | 16:14 | |
| snap-l | Yeah, it's pretty nice | 16:14 |
| snap-l | Lots of cleanups that make it better than Nexuiz | 16:15 |
| greg-g | cool | 16:16 |
| Blazeix | yeah nexuiz went all corporate or something, so xonotic was born | 16:34 |
| greg-g | wah? really? | 16:36 |
| Blazeix | yeah, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xonotic#Development | 16:38 |
| Blazeix | xonotic's logo is a phoenix, because "screw you, Lee Vermeulen" | 16:39 |
| greg-g | huh, awesome | 16:40 |
| greg-g | go pissed off free software developers! | 16:40 |
| greg-g | "fine, take the trademark, we don't need it, who gives a shit about marketing anyways?!" | 16:41 |
| greg-g | see: LibreOffice, Jenkins, etc | 16:41 |
| greg-g | that made me smile, really :) | 16:41 |
| jrwren | anyone know if UDS videos are recorded? | 16:43 |
| greg-g | they usually are | 16:44 |
| jrwren | cool | 16:46 |
| greg-g | usually some delay before posted online, like a week or so | 17:03 |
| jrwren | do you ever sing "everyday I'm hackin" but to the tune of lmfao party rock s/shufflin/hackin/ ? | 17:07 |
| greg-g | one syllable too short | 17:11 |
| greg-g | and isn't it "hustlin"? (or, is that a new version?) | 17:11 |
| * greg-g only knows the hustlin version | 17:11 | |
| jrwren | i stutter like a nerd. h-hackin to get the sylabic match | 17:19 |
| snap-l | I think greg-g is more of a "codin'dirty" gangsta | 17:23 |
| snap-l | "They see me codin'. They forkin'. Gotta push my changes up to the 'hub 'cuz I'm codin' dirty" | 17:24 |
| snap-l | "Gotta keep my codin' dirty, clock say it's past 3:30" | 17:25 |
| greg-g | :) | 17:26 |
| jrwren | hahaah, you are so white and nerdy | 17:34 |
| greg-g | :) | 17:38 |
| Blazeix | rick_h_: the most recent 'google search' app update on android mentions Google Now supports package tracking | 18:47 |
| rick_h_ | Blazeix: yea, just saw that and shared it to G+ Excited now for 4.2 on the N7 | 19:58 |
| rick_h_ | now if I'll ever get it on my phone... :( | 20:02 |
| rick_h_ | the price point of the N4 is actually pretty tempting | 20:03 |
| rick_h_ | nixternal: lmao, I missed that the guy you were talking to worked at Delicious | 20:11 |
| greg-g | wtf Ars, you're automagically redirecting my Fx Nightly browser to the mobile site because you fail at user agent grepping? Or, does you main site now just look like ass on a big screen? | 20:15 |
| rick_h_ | lol | 20:16 |
| jrwren | rick_h_: got time for a python q? | 20:16 |
| jrwren | class a: def __getattr__(s,name): stuff | 20:17 |
| jrwren | a().blah() works fine | 20:17 |
| jrwren | but I want to a().getattr('blah') instead | 20:17 |
| jrwren | but that class __getattr__ with name='getattr' | 20:17 |
| jrwren | so should I just call __getattr__ directly? that seems wrong | 20:17 |
| rick_h_ | yea, that's wrong, but there's getattr and getattribute I think sec. | 20:18 |
| jrwren | oh, maybe that is waht I need? | 20:18 |
| rick_h_ | because that's an old style class and you want to use a new style | 20:18 |
| jrwren | assume new style class | 20:19 |
| jrwren | oh!!! | 20:20 |
| rick_h_ | http://paste.mitechie.com/show/828/ | 20:22 |
| rick_h_ | jrwren: ^^ | 20:22 |
| jrwren | getattr(a(),'blah') is different than a().getattr() | 20:22 |
| jrwren | i am not smart. | 20:22 |
| jrwren | ty | 20:22 |
| rick_h_ | right | 20:23 |
| brousch | My Bionic lapdock arrived. Now I just need the cables and adaptors to hook up my phone to it | 20:31 |
| rick_h_ | cool | 20:31 |
| brousch | It is nice | 20:31 |
| brousch | Someone at GRLUG has a raspberrypi hooked up to one | 20:32 |
| brousch | It's about the size and thickness of macbook air for < $100 | 20:41 |
| greg-g | alright all, who wants to throw in on the "get Greg back to Michigan" fund? I'll be purchasing a microbrewery as my exit (SF) strategy. | 21:01 |
| jrwren | NE AA needs one. I think it would do well right off plymouth road | 21:03 |
| greg-g | :) | 21:05 |
| rick_h_ | hah | 21:07 |
| rick_h_ | oh bah, I can't buy movie content on Google Play because I'm not in the US | 21:08 |
| rick_h_ | even though they know I'm a US user :( | 21:08 |
| greg-g | oh copyright | 21:10 |
| rick_h_ | yea, joys | 21:10 |
| jrwren | yet another reason I don't use google play :p | 21:19 |
| rick_h_ | well AMZ no worky on the tablet and wanted to rent a movie/two for the flight back | 21:20 |
| snap-l | Licensing is awesome. Let's all drink hemlock to that. | 21:24 |
| greg-g | snap-l: dude, OMC was linked from the CC identi.ca/twitter account | 21:47 |
| greg-g | I had nothing to do with it, either! (uh, sorry?) | 21:47 |
| snap-l | greg-g: awesome! tjanks for the heads up! | 22:39 |
| shakes808 | what do you use for a chat client that is terminal based? Or what do you all use in general? I am using the default client with Ubuntu. Looking to get something else | 23:48 |
| Blazeix | irc only? weechat and irssi are the most popular. | 23:48 |
| Blazeix | i know a guy that uses finch. but he's weird. | 23:49 |
| shakes808 | lol irc / gchat / yahoo chat ... | 23:49 |
| shakes808 | one that I can log into anything really | 23:49 |
| Blazeix | i only know of two options for that. finch or "irc-client + bitlbee" | 23:50 |
| Blazeix | where irc-client is something like weechat or irssi | 23:51 |
| Blazeix | finch is basically pidgin command-line-ized. it has some weird windowed interface | 23:51 |
| shakes808 | gotcha | 23:51 |
| shakes808 | ty | 23:51 |
| jrwren | snap-l: Rhapsody of Fire, what do you think? | 23:54 |
| jrwren | irssi FTW | 23:55 |
