rick_h_ah13:09
brouschGood blog post on Make http://bost.ocks.org/mike/make/13:09
brouschI had not been using it like that13:12
rick_h_brousch: like what? automating things?13:12
brouschI use it to automate, but as a series of commands. I haven't used starting with missing or changed files13:13
rick_h_ah, yea the missing/changed files is what makes it best13:13
rick_h_rebuild your css files only if the .sass file has changed or the .css file is missing13:14
brouschYou use sass?13:14
rick_h_yea, bookie is sass. New work project is less though13:15
rick_h_https://github.com/mitechie/Bookie/blob/develop/bookie/static/css/readable.scss13:15
brouschIt always feels like overkill when I start a project, then I get half way into it and think, "Damn, I wish I had Sass now"13:16
rick_h_heh, yea. Definitely one of those 'just use it'13:16
snap-lHopefully the new Leopold will be arriving today.14:27
snap-lAt least this time it says it's on a truck.14:28
rick_h_that's a good sign14:28
snap-lYeah. I'm taking a risk and using the keyboard from home here at work14:28
snap-lgoing to use the new keyboard at home.14:28
rick_h_cool14:28
snap-lhttp://metal-libre.org/2013/02/metal-libre-org-origins.html14:29
snap-lMetal music compilation14:29
* rick_h_ wants usb3 for the touareg. Idling in the driveway for 2hrs sucks15:38
snap-l?15:39
snap-lCopying things to the internal drive?15:40
rick_h_yea15:40
rick_h_9 more GB of music today15:40
rick_h_after 4GB yesterday15:40
rick_h_have to burn dvds and then copy off the dvds15:40
snap-lUgh15:40
rick_h_so takes forever to write the dvd, then another foreven with the car running in the driveway while it copies over15:40
snap-lAt least it can read DVDs15:41
rick_h_but once it's loaded can use voice to play albums vs pulling out the phone and hoping I've got a decent mobile connection15:41
rick_h_yea, it can also do sdcards and I wonder if that would be faster, but I don't have one any more. Only sdcard adapters15:41
snap-lI have an SD card adapter for micro SD15:41
snap-land some microSD cards15:42
snap-lLMK if you want me to bring 'em to CHC15:42
rick_h_naw, I've ordered a 64GB sd card to use in the future for things15:42
snap-lI have the monster 32GB card that JoDee had in her HTC15:42
snap-lWill that show before Wed night?15:43
rick_h_yea, tomorrow hopefully15:43
snap-lkk15:43
rick_h_but once I get done with these 3 dvds I'll be done for now15:43
brouschYou don't own a SD Card?15:53
brouschI have about 10 of them15:53
snap-lToo bad +1s on a comment can't be traded in for anything useful. I got +23 on a comment in an IDE thread for "just use vim"15:53
rick_h_https://twitter.com/mortice/status/306055627350896640 lol16:02
snap-lHow they know?16:04
jrwrensnap-l: got any microSD cards you don't want or need?16:19
jrwreni only had 1 SD card for my camera. Then I got a raspberry pi and an mk802 :(16:19
brouschjrwren: How's your mk802? I have the Plus16:21
jrwreni have not used it much.16:21
jrwrenandroid on it sucks.16:21
snap-ljrwren: Unfortunately not at the moment16:21
jrwrenthe wifi on it really sucks.16:22
jrwrengetting linux onto it was nontrivial and I've not invested the time to revisit16:22
snap-lI do have a 16MB SD card if someone wants it. :)16:22
jrwrena little too small for linux.16:22
jrwreni have a 64MB :)16:22
snap-lCame with my camera16:22
brouschI thought the Android was OK. I was mostly using it for Netflix16:22
snap-lI think it would have been better had they just put in a slug16:22
jrwreni don't do netflix. although it would be fine for that.16:24
jrwrenlack of good remote is a problem for me with mk80216:24
brouschSucks that the droidmote thing wasn't in the kernel16:25
rick_h_everyone ready for snow tomorrow! wheeee 6+" come on16:25
jrwrenand i'd need another android device for that.16:25
jrwreni don't have another android device16:25
snap-lrick_h_: Don't remind me16:25
snap-lHave a board meeting tomorrow16:26
brouschjrwren: As for Linux, this seems really easy to me https://www.miniand.com/forums/forums/development/topics/install-ubuntu-linux-12-04-now-including-droidmote16:26
snap-lDoes it use LIRC?16:26
jrwrenbrousch: sweet, thanks for that.16:31
jrwrenbrousch: right, but I need ANOTHER android device to control it. i don' thave that.16:31
brouschThen you're doing life wrong!16:31
jrwrenexactly.16:31
jrwrenandroid sucks and I shouldn't have bought it.16:31
jrwrenbut I'll get linux on it, and it will be awesome.16:32
dzholinux is just a kernel16:32
dzhoand android runs it16:32
jrwrenbullshit.16:32
jrwrenor rather: yes, I know, and android is one of the shitties linuxes I've ever used.16:32
dzhohaha16:32
dzhothank you16:33
jrwrenyw16:33
dzhoI pretty much agree.16:33
jrwrenapple's iOS has a nicer userspace than android16:33
jrwrenand its not linux.16:33
jrwreni really hope ubuntu phone/tab destroy's android.16:34
jrwrenits technically superior 100X :)16:34
dzhothe way I'm beginning to think about it is that linux can never succeed in the consumer market because if it does, no one will call it linux.16:34
dzhoon the one hand, the consumers who don't give a shit won't call it linux because they don't care.16:34
rick_h_ /me holds back from the android is not linux rant...16:34
dzhoon the other hand, the people who love linux won't call it linux because it doesn't have that late 20th century BDSM feel.16:34
dzhowe're finally to the point where, once again, RMS is right, though not necessarily for all the reasons he or anyone used to fight about.16:35
dzhothe bit about the name is a distraction.16:36
dzhoI think it's very defensible to use "linux" as a figure-of-speech for the whole magilla.16:36
dzhoso, that's not what I'm talking about, in case that gets anyone's hackles up.16:36
snap-lFrankly, I couldn't care less what you call it; as long as it has a GNU toolchain and a UNIX-like OS, I'm happy.16:37
* dzho nods at snap-l 16:37
jrwrensnap-l: which android definitely does not.16:38
dzhoquite right.16:38
dzhodenying it is linux though ignores the fact that android-like considerations are leaking over into the mailine kernel.16:38
snap-ljrwren: I thought it used busybox under the hood?16:39
brouschBut Ubuntu tablet is running Cyanogenmod16:39
dzhosnap-l: it's call toolbox, and it is deliberately not busybox, because busybox is GPL16:39
snap-lAh16:39
brouschYou can install busybox16:39
* dzho sees snap-l should have gone to Mike Kasick's talk at OLF2012 ;-)16:39
jrwrensnap-l: it might, but its not gnu libc. its not gnu coreutils and its not anywhere close to DFGL or any other fs layout i've seen16:39
dzhobrousch: you can install lots of different busyboxen16:39
snap-ldzho: Was busy personing a booth. ;)16:40
jrwrenthe "16:40
jrwrenthe "android-like considerations" leaking into mainline kernel is usually great. I love better power management16:40
dzhojrwren: so, you're a fan of the Poettering project?16:40
jrwrennever heard of it16:43
dzhoI guess not strictly in-the-kernel as I thought.16:48
dzhoI'm sort of conflating this http://bsd.slashdot.org/story/11/07/16/0020243/lennart-poettering-bsd-isnt-relevant-anymore  and http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/GNOME-developers-plan-Linux-apps-1798691.html16:50
dzhothe common theme there more being GNOME and what I'm guessing are their Android inferiority complex16:50
dzhojrwren: it's funny, though, there's no mention of GNOME at all in http://www.kroah.com/log/linux/af_bus.html17:10
rick_h_snap-l: so there, now completed loading 3dvds of music17:47
rick_h_just about an hour per disk lol17:47
