[10:27] <rmg51> Morning
[10:51] <JonathanD> Morning.
[13:08] <teddy-dbear> Morning peoples and dogs
[13:57] <InHisName> What no turkeys, ducks, bears, dogs, etc ?
[13:57] <InHisName> Ooops, scratch the dogs
[13:57] <InHisName> btw good morning
[14:47] <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
[14:48] <TheLordOfTime> e: unreadable
[14:48] <TheLordOfTime> but hey i see you :P
[14:48] <TheLordOfTime> MutantTurkey:  parts?
[14:49] <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
[14:51] <TheLordOfTime> ah.
[14:52] <TheLordOfTime> well E: Unreadable Image, so...
[14:52] <MutantTurkey> ?
[14:52] <JonathanD> I hate shiny monitors.
[14:53] <MutantTurkey> JonathanD: jedijf could use your advice
[14:54] <JonathanD> ABout?
[14:55] <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?
[14:56] <MutantTurkey> its going to make my eyes fall out
[14:56] <JonathanD> "This display hurts my eyes" is a reasonable complaint, in my opinion.
[14:57] <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.
[14:58] <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
[14:59] <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
[15:00] <MutantTurkey> ok sent
[15:01] <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
[15:08] <MutantTurkey> JonathanD: I think it will go over well
[15:08] <MutantTurkey> just slightly annoying
[15:15] <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
[15:23] <MutantTurkey> I have another monitor I just got that is 23 inches!
[15:23] <MutantTurkey> so I have another seperate monitor that rocks
[15:24] <MutantTurkey> i'm looking to trade though definitively
[16:35] <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 ?
[19:16] <MutantTurkey>  howdy all
[19:17] <JonathanD> hey
[19:18] <MutantTurkey> how goes it? I got on the subway and it was cold, I pop out at 30th street and it's 40 degrees!
[19:19] <JonathanD> Goes well
[19:20] <MutantTurkey> good :)
[19:37] <MutantTurkey> ls
[19:37] <MutantTurkey> whoops
[19:40] <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
[19:43] <waltman> Little Bobby Tables
[19:45] <MutantTurkey> The mouseovers are always the best though
[19:45] <MutantTurkey> I really like the what-if lately
[19:45] <MutantTurkey> that's awesome!
[19:46] <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
[20:38] <MutantTurkey> waltman: can I get some matlab help? has to do with return values
[20:39] <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
[20:40] <MutantTurkey> is that just capturing only one field? the first one?
[20:41] <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"
[20:42] <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
[20:43] <MutantTurkey> pretty cool actually
[23:14] <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
[23:22] <waltman> MutantTurkey: any way you can turn off the light over your monitor?
[23:23] <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?
[23:25] <MutantTurkey> yes!
[23:25] <MutantTurkey> it is super glarey
[23:26] <waltman> crazy
[23:26] <MutantTurkey> I just put it under the desk
[23:26] <MutantTurkey> simple solutio
[23:30] <waltman> you put your monitor under your desk?
[23:31] <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
[23:38] <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
