| bkerensa | hi nathwill | 20:52 |
| nathwill | hi bkerensa :) | 20:52 |
| nathwill | how's it going? | 20:52 |
| bkerensa | good | 20:52 |
| bkerensa | thinking about running out to get some sushi and beer | 20:53 |
| bkerensa | :D | 20:53 |
| bkerensa | nathwill: got one of these fitbit things... works with Ubuntu | 20:53 |
| nathwill | that's cool :) | 20:53 |
| nathwill | what do you do on the computer with it? | 20:54 |
| bkerensa | hmm? | 20:54 |
| bkerensa | it syncs | 20:54 |
| bkerensa | libfitbit | 20:54 |
| bkerensa | :D | 20:54 |
| nathwill | syncs what? | 20:54 |
| bkerensa | with the interwebz | 20:54 |
| bkerensa | lol | 20:54 |
| bkerensa | its a digital pedometer essentially | 20:54 |
| bkerensa | tracks a bunch of stuff | 20:54 |
| nathwill | like... how many steps? | 20:54 |
| bkerensa | yeah and calories and distance | 20:54 |
| bkerensa | apparently more accurate then GPS | 20:55 |
| nathwill | do you program it with your stride-length and weight? | 20:55 |
| bkerensa | yes | 20:56 |
| nathwill | ah | 20:57 |
| bkerensa | nathwill: but at the same time it also uses some algorithm based on gender/age/weight/height | 20:57 |
| bkerensa | to ensure your stride is accurate | 20:57 |
| nathwill | k, makes sense | 20:57 |
| nathwill | so... does it sync with their servers through ubuntus network connection, or does it actually do something locally? | 20:58 |
| bkerensa | there is a Ubuntu FitBit group | 20:58 |
| bkerensa | it just connects to their servers | 20:58 |
| nathwill | ok, got it | 21:00 |
| nathwill | so libfitbit is some kind of udev rules or something? | 21:00 |
| bkerensa | yes | 21:00 |
| nathwill | i see a bracelet, a clip and a stick; which are you using? | 21:00 |
| bkerensa | its a daemon that connects to the USB device... accepts data and transmits it | 21:00 |
| bkerensa | I bought two Zips | 21:00 |
| nathwill | ah, so the daemon pulls data off the device and and transmits it | 21:01 |
| nathwill | gotcha | 21:01 |
| nathwill | that makes more sense | 21:01 |
| bkerensa | yeah it just uses a API call | 21:01 |
| nathwill | wonder if they're using upstart :D | 21:01 |
| bkerensa | your device ID is associated with your profile | 21:01 |
| nathwill | well i have to say, the bracelet looks cool | 21:09 |
| nathwill | i'm a little weirded out about them measuring my pulse all the time; they'd probably have enough data to chart my sex life :/ | 21:10 |
| nathwill | but i can see it being useful | 21:10 |
| MarkDude | nathwill, link it to status updates on social media sites- it would make for interesting feed.... | 21:59 |
| nathwill | markdude, didn't some best man do that with a pressure-plate under the mattress of the newly-weds hotel? | 22:00 |
| nathwill | oh yes: http://techcrunch.com/2009/12/12/newlywed-sex-tweets/ | 22:00 |
| MarkDude | lol | 22:02 |
| MarkDude | TMI | 22:02 |
| MarkDude | My gf would not dig that | 22:02 |
| MarkDude | And talk about pressure to perform... | 22:02 |
