JonathanD | Morning. | 10:51 |
teddy-dbear | Morning peoples and dogs | 13:08 |
InHisName | What no turkeys, ducks, bears, dogs, etc ? | 13:57 |
InHisName | Ooops, scratch the dogs | 13:57 |
InHisName | btw good morning | 13:57 |
MutantTurkey | still kinda trying to figure out what to do about this desktop | 14:47 |
MutantTurkey | https://twitpic.com/c17092 | 14:47 |
MutantTurkey | its basically unusable | 14:47 |
TheLordOfTime | e: unreadable | 14:48 |
TheLordOfTime | but hey i see you :P | 14:48 |
TheLordOfTime | MutantTurkey: parts? | 14:48 |
MutantTurkey | ? | 14:49 |
TheLordOfTime | if your system's not usable, sell it as parts | 14:49 |
MutantTurkey | it's for work. they just gave it to me | 14:49 |
TheLordOfTime | ah. | 14:51 |
TheLordOfTime | well E: Unreadable Image, so... | 14:52 |
MutantTurkey | ? | 14:52 |
JonathanD | I hate shiny monitors. | 14:52 |
MutantTurkey | JonathanD: jedijf could use your advice | 14:53 |
JonathanD | ABout? | 14:54 |
MutantTurkey | my new desktop has a glossy display, so much so that I can barely use it. I want to have my boss return it but think it might be overstepping | 14:55 |
MutantTurkey | do you think it would be fine to demand a swap? | 14:55 |
MutantTurkey | its going to make my eyes fall out | 14:56 |
JonathanD | "This display hurts my eyes" is a reasonable complaint, in my opinion. | 14:56 |
JonathanD | The best solution is to convince some other poor soul how awesome it is, and trade it with them for theirs. | 14:57 |
MutantTurkey | They'll have none of it | 14:57 |
MutantTurkey | I already triee | 14:57 |
MutantTurkey | JonathanD: did you see the link ^^? that's a picture of it | 14:57 |
JonathanD | I did see the link. | 14:57 |
JonathanD | it hurt MY eyes. | 14:57 |
JonathanD | I'm not sure what LCD maker sits down and says "You know what would make this monitor better? If I could see myself in it." | 14:58 |
MutantTurkey | http://pastebin.com/h70ARd5S | 14:58 |
MutantTurkey | JonathanD: it's great for viewing videos on really, and anything not black | 14:58 |
MutantTurkey | but when you sit at a terminal all day.... | 14:58 |
MutantTurkey | that is a paste of my propsed email | 14:58 |
MutantTurkey | does that seem good? | 14:59 |
JonathanD | Yes. | 14:59 |
JonathanD | I can clearly see your phone, you, and everything around you in the photo :P | 14:59 |
MutantTurkey | I can spy on my neighbors 20 feet away easily | 14:59 |
MutantTurkey | ok sent | 15:00 |
JonathanD | One thing I do like about thinkpads is they offer non-gloss screens. | 15:01 |
MutantTurkey | of course, the matte screen was my major attraction to my thinkpad | 15:01 |
MutantTurkey | JonathanD: I think it will go over well | 15:08 |
MutantTurkey | just slightly annoying | 15:08 |
InHisName | Trade it with someone that has a 19" 1280x1024 type screen, they just might overlook the reflections to go higher res. | 15:15 |
InHisName | Downgrading would help make you happy too | 15:15 |
MutantTurkey | I have another monitor I just got that is 23 inches! | 15:23 |
MutantTurkey | so I have another seperate monitor that rocks | 15:23 |
MutantTurkey | i'm looking to trade though definitively | 15:24 |
InHisName | I got a 19" monitor that I'd consider trading. Buuuut, that one does not belong to you but the company you work for, right ? | 16:35 |
MutantTurkey | howdy all | 19:16 |
JonathanD | hey | 19:17 |
MutantTurkey | how goes it? I got on the subway and it was cold, I pop out at 30th street and it's 40 degrees! | 19:18 |
JonathanD | Goes well | 19:19 |
MutantTurkey | good :) | 19:20 |
MutantTurkey | ls | 19:37 |
MutantTurkey | whoops | 19:37 |
MutantTurkey | ls | 19:40 |
MutantTurkey | grr | 19:40 |
TheLordOfTime | MutantTurkey.Destroy(computer) | 19:40 |
TheLordOfTime | :P | 19:40 |
MutantTurkey | yes | 19:40 |
MutantTurkey | yes | 19:40 |
MutantTurkey | drop tables | 19:40 |
waltman | Little Bobby Tables | 19:43 |
MutantTurkey | The mouseovers are always the best though | 19:45 |
MutantTurkey | I really like the what-if lately | 19:45 |
MutantTurkey | that's awesome! | 19:45 |
MutantTurkey | I enjoyed the recent one about sneaker net, because for our mirrors at trinity, when there is a new mirror going online, we mail them a hard drive | 19:46 |
MutantTurkey | waltman: can I get some matlab help? has to do with return values | 20:38 |
MutantTurkey | 45 [loadfasta,~]=fastaread(fastafilename); | 20:39 |
waltman | ok, if it's quick... | 20:39 |
MutantTurkey | 46 numreads=numel(loadfasta); | 20:39 |
MutantTurkey | line 45, what does that mean? the fasta read function returns a struct with two fields | 20:39 |
MutantTurkey | is that just capturing only one field? the first one? | 20:40 |
MutantTurkey | nevermind, it defintely is that :-) ok you are awesome anyway | 20:41 |
waltman | On 45, it means the function returns 2 variables, but you only care about the first one | 20:41 |
waltman | ~ is a place holder meaning "ignore this return value" | 20:41 |
waltman | you don't need the square brackets if it only returns a single value, so that's what's going on with 46. | 20:42 |
MutantTurkey | gotcha | 20:42 |
MutantTurkey | thanks | 20:42 |
waltman | I just discovered that feature a day or two ago | 20:42 |
MutantTurkey | pretty cool actually | 20:43 |
MutantTurkey | I have to many context switches in a day. It really throws me off | 23:14 |
MutantTurkey | btw my solution was to just put the new desktop under the table and pretend it's a normal tower | 23:14 |
waltman | MutantTurkey: any way you can turn off the light over your monitor? | 23:22 |
MutantTurkey | waltman: the ones directly above me and behind were out and the shades were closeed | 23:23 |
waltman | and you still had all that glare? | 23:23 |
MutantTurkey | yes! | 23:25 |
MutantTurkey | it is super glarey | 23:25 |
waltman | crazy | 23:26 |
MutantTurkey | I just put it under the desk | 23:26 |
MutantTurkey | simple solutio | 23:26 |
waltman | you put your monitor under your desk? | 23:30 |
MutantTurkey | it's an all-in-one pc | 23:31 |
MutantTurkey | I just put the whole thing under the desk | 23:31 |
MutantTurkey | and used another monitor | 23:31 |
waltman | so how do you...aha. | 23:31 |
MutantTurkey | muahahahahahaha | 23:31 |
MutantTurkey | this job is good though for my resume because it has serious programming and sysadmin parts | 23:38 |
MutantTurkey | so I can pursue either easily | 23:38 |
