rick_h_http://pycon.timvideos.us/14:28

greg-gmade my first comment in gerrit.wikimedia.org !16:27
brouschI DON'T CARE IF YOUR HUSBAND IS IN THE ICU, LADY. I'M TRYING TO DEBUG THIS CODE!16:29
brouschUg. converting between metric and architectural length units is the biggest PITA on this whole project so far16:36
greg-gwait, there's "architectural units" now? not just metric and stupid, er, "english"?16:42
brouschWell it's imperial in a specific format16:57
brousch3' 2-7/8"16:58
brouschLike that16:58
brouschThe draftsmen need that format, the software needs mm16:58
greg-gdon't crash your building on the surface of mars16:58
rick_h_snap-l: Blazeix remind me to bring this up to the new people at CHC if they're back next week. http://trizpug.org/boot-camp/pyohio1316:59
snap-lGot my System 76 stickers.17:34
rick_h_awesome17:34
snap-lbrousch: More like she was saying she had a clean bill of health, and she was waiting for her ride, and oh, that's a fancy setup you have there. People all over with their noses in their laptops and cellphones and...17:35
snap-l"Oh, you can work with that? Well we should just get you a desk and..."17:36
snap-lDear lady, please don't make me kill you in your sleep17:38
snap-lhugs and kisses, me17:38
rick_h_hah, "please learn perl before it dies..." http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1aczh1/perl_the_language_everybody_wants_to_declare_dead/17:42
rick_h_is how it reads more than "look I'm not dead yet"17:43
snap-lBig fan of Perl but frankly I'd rather not deal with it anymore17:45
snap-lyes, I said it17:45
snap-lPython has spoiled me17:45
snap-lAnd any benefit Perl 6 or 5.10+ might have is immaterial when I can do "pip install (current thought)" and keep moving17:46
snap-lWhat the... linuxadvocates?17:47
snap-lAPparently comp.os.linux.advocacy escaped and is now wild on the web17:48
snap-lI <3 his example btw.17:49
snap-l$ perl -pi  -e “tr/[a-z]/[A-Z]/” sample.txt17:49
snap-las opposed to "string".upper()17:50
rick_h_:)17:57
brouschMy friend works at Booking.com (priceline) and he says they're hiring a dozen perl developers18:17
brouschIn the netherlands18:17
snap-lThat's nice18:19
snap-lsf.net uses Perl for their sysadmin18:19
snap-lI'm not saying it isn't used anymore, I'm saying I'd rather be using Python. :)18:20
rick_h_:( the sadness continues http://r.bmark.us/u/6e404a5316179d18:20
snap-lGive me a fucking break18:20
snap-lNot only has work begun to offer the community alternatives to Reader specifically (save us Digg!), work is being done on the other pieces of the RSS infrastructure, as well.18:21
rick_h_if rss dies I'm going to be very sad...and the new gopher of the internet18:21
snap-lSave us Digg? Seriously?18:21
snap-lThat's like asking a lead weight to take you to the surface18:21
brouschDamn, I didn't know about that18:22
snap-lI still have it18:22
snap-lThe RSS extension18:23
rick_h_yea, but try to find it in the store18:23
snap-lYeah, lovely18:23
rick_h_it's a small thing, but sad still18:23
snap-lHoping it's clerical error, and not a sign of things to come18:23
snap-lthough frankly that extension is janky18:24
brouschIs anyone setting up an instance of newsblur?18:24
brouschI might give a go if I can find time this weekend18:24
rick_h_no, if I did anythign I'll to feedhq and start hacking on it18:24
rick_h_/to/do18:25
brouschBut djangoooooooooooooooooooooooooo18:25
rick_h_feedhq is django :P18:26
brouschSo how is it better than newsblur?18:26
rick_h_and while not pretty the UI hasn't been hit with a 'let's just add one more stupid flashing control/button" yet18:26
rick_h_/yet/stick18:26
brouschLooks weird18:27
rick_h_man all of these are just horrid UX-wise. makes me cry18:27
brouschThe font or size of the page is annoying18:27
rick_h_on which one? or both of them?18:28
brouschfeedhq18:28
rick_h_yea, it needs love as well. At least though it's less busy/crazy to start with18:28
brouschDoes it have an Android client?18:29
rick_h_it's WEB18:29
rick_h_forget stupid phone clients. Just use a decent webui...if one of them could fix their UX18:29
* rick_h_ won't start writing an app...will not...18:29
brouschI can see you writing phonegap apps18:30
rick_h_no no no no...it'd be http://nonsuckyrss.com18:30
rick_h_be responsive, and it's be swipe/touch friendly for mobile peeps18:30
rick_h_without so damn many buttons on them18:30
brouschheh18:30
brouschI still think it could be hacked on to bookie, maybe even just using the api18:31
rick_h_heh, trust me. I've thought about it. And if I did write something I'd end up sharing web ui components between them for sure18:31
rick_h_but it doesn't fit the bookie backend very well at all18:32
brouschScrape feeds, add them all to my bookie with an unread tag. Pull out the unreads, read them with breadable, remove unread tag (and delete)18:32
rick_h_and here you definitely want to share feed data. with bookmarks, and logins, your page might look different than my bookmark'ed page18:32
rick_h_but not so with public rss feeds18:32
rick_h_man I wish my wife's student loans were gone. I'd almost quit and start hacking.18:33
rick_h_I did think about pulling newsblur and seeing if I could get a link in for 'save to Bookie' for feed items you awnt to bookmark18:33
brouschBut if bookie is the reader, it's already bookmarked before you do anything18:34
brouschYou would autobookmark every article in your feeds18:34
rick_h_yea, but now you've got a ton of crap that's not a cultured set of bookmarks18:34
brouschRight, so delete the stuff you don't want to save and add tags to the stuff you want to keep18:35
brouschLike email!18:36
rick_h_lol18:36
brouschBookie is my new email client18:36
rick_h_Blazeix: http://r.bmark.us/u/d2cb7eca19a7ea21:35
brouschSay a talk on that at GRDevDay. It looked pretty interesting21:45
rick_h_26too much magic for my tastes21:47
brouschSaves a crapload of code21:50
brouschI like that google uses it extensively21:51
snap-lJoDee's sick. Caught her watching the old Battlestar Galactica series voluntarily.23:15
snap-lNow she's watching some show called NYC Prep.23:15
rick_h_26uh oh23:17
brouschsnap-l: Alzheimer's?23:25
rick_h_26dammit I'm sitting here folding laundry thinking of ways to do RSS items with detecting dupes and building intelligent prioritizing of unread content.23:31
brouschMy plan is working. Get the rick_h_ wetware working on a problem and it will be solved!23:32
greg-g:)23:39
greg-gyou know, instead of being all NIH, maybe chip in with NewsBlur, it does the intelligent prioritization part already... (yeah, you could build a new interface for it...)23:40
greg-g;)23:40
rick_h_26I looked but just not a fan. I've downloaded feedhq and started looking at the source.23:45
rick_h_26but my points aren't  Nih just working thoughts out in my head ;)23:46
jcastroNIH! NIH! is the new "Send me a patch"23:46
rick_h_26jcastro this Google cloud article is cool.23:51
rick_h_26http://r.bmark.us/u/86747a3302e585 for others23:51
jcastroyep23:53
rick_h_26can't wait to test it out when it open source23:53
rick_h_26opens up that is23:53
rick_h_26stupid keyboard completion23:53
jcastrowhy are you _26?23:55
brouschI think we need a Google Reader replacement that you can deploy to Google App Engine in the free tier.23:56
jcastroor just write a charm?23:57
jcastroand use every free tier?23:57
rick_h_26jcastro because the tablet loses connection/reconnects sometimes23:57
jcastrowhat does the 26 mean?23:57
brouschjcastro: That misses the irony of it23:57
=== rick_h_26 is now known as rick_h_droid
rick_h_droidit's just a random number it uses. hmm seems it didn't auth23:58
