rick_h_howdy CHC folks00:14
rick_h_snap-l: are the new couple there?00:14
rick_h_snap-l: if so make sure they hear about pycamp at pyohio for a cool python boot camp http://trizpug.org/boot-camp/pyohio13/pyohio13-event00:14
mathomastechrick_h_: Hey rick. The new peeps aren't here yet. If they show up, Ill definitely pass it on.00:16
rick_h_mathomastech: thanks!00:16
rick_h_mathomastech: you guys get the room ok?00:16
mathomastechrick_h_: Today was one of the days that it was already booked. We swiped some tables in the dining area.00:18
rick_h_ah gotcha :(00:18
snap-lYeah, we're out in the open00:23
mathomastechBlazeix: How was the meetup?03:00
mathomastechIf anyone is available tomorrow night, there is a python developer meetup in Southfield. I am planning on going03:01
mathomastechhttp://www.meetup.com/Michigan-Python-Development-Group/events/106750512/03:01
snap-lSo, anyone using Google Keep?12:15
snap-lTHink I'm going to use it for some journaling12:15
snap-lat least to get ideas out of my head so I can process them later12:16
snap-lno worse than the other stuff I've been doing for not journaling12:16
rick_h_ nope, I've gone field notes for most stuff currently and not logged into evernote for years so no desire to get into it12:16
brouschI use Evernote12:16
brouschIt is open all day every day in a browser app12:17
snap-lrick_h_: field notes?12:17
rick_h_http://goo.gl/8jWU012:17
rick_h_in my back pocket :)12:17
snap-lThat's what I thought12:17
snap-lYeah, I carry around a moleskine at work12:18
snap-lhaven't moved my old small moleskine to ubiquitous capture yet.12:18
rick_h_it was cool when I was doing the car shopping and such12:18
rick_h_started just keeping it in my pocket and handy to have a pen on you12:19
* brousch holds his nose12:20
brouschBarbaric!12:20
brouschhttps://bitbucket.org/r1chardj0n3s/pypi-pep/src/fde8529df03c/PEP-PIP-DRAFT.txt?at=default12:26
brouschSounds good to me12:26
snap-lHonestly, pip should be in the standard library12:32
snap-lThat's probably heresy, but frankly pip won12:32
rick_h_yea, but it's still broken enough it can't go in the stdlib12:34
rick_h_so they want to do some sort of special "it's included but not stdlib..." strangeness12:34
brouschI ran into a pip bug while trying to use virtualenv on Android. It would have sucked to wait for a Python update to fix it12:37
snap-lYeah, I agree this is a nice step in the "perfect is the enemy of the good" mentality12:38
rick_h_it sets a dangerous precendent thuogh12:39
brouschBootstrap all the modules?12:39
snap-lis github having problems with authentication for anyone else?12:39
rick_h_just logged out/in here to test it without issue12:40
snap-lHm12:40
snap-lI can log in OK, it's asking me to log in though12:41
snap-lmaybe some session expired12:41
snap-lbut my atom feed of activity is now giving a 40112:41
snap-lToken changed for some reason12:42
snap-lveddy stwange.12:42
brouschmitm!12:43
brouschHe's stealing ur codez!12:43
snap-lProbably12:43
* Blazeix looks around shiftily13:25
Blazeixcan anybody hook me up with mobidevday promotion codez?13:25
snap-lI don't think I have any. Let me check13:26
snap-lI don't have any. Sorry.13:27
Blazeixno problem, i'm going to buy a ticket either way, just hoping to save a few bucks13:28
brouschBlazeix: I found this one http://goo.gl/wnTD513:29
snap-lExpired on the 18th13:29
brouschNo, they extended to 22nd13:30
brouschThe email with that info says it extended13:30
Blazeixi think i have to be a member of that organization. I've been to a few of their meetings, but i don't think i'm officially a member13:31
brouschBlazeix: Also http://mobidevdaydetroit.com/volunteer/13:32
brouschEvent champion?13:32
Blazeixah, nice. i have been pimping this conference at work...13:32
Blazeixmaybe i can get work to pay for it :) mobile is kind of outside of our typical work...13:33
brouschI didn't realize it was so expensive. I'll have to polish my talk some more13:33
brouschIf I can get a decent resolution projector working with my tablet it would help a lot13:34
jrwrengood morning15:41
rick_h_afternoon...almost15:56
rick_h_jrwren: just run away. The whole thing's a disaster at this point. Sorry, but the only person not in some level of 'wrong' at this point is jesse who handled it right at the conf15:59
snap-lrick_h_: ++16:01
jrwreni just wanted to know what was going on.16:15
jrwreni've had no internet at home for a week.16:15
jrwrenjust wanted to be aware of what happened. that is all.16:16
rick_h_jrwren: yea, it's just gotten to be really complicated/tangled and at this point I wish I didn't know any of it16:16
rick_h_so I'm envious ;)16:17
jrwrenyou weren't there?16:17
rick_h_no, I didn't go to pycon this year16:17
jrwren;_;16:17
rick_h_yea16:18
jrwrenthe DDoS happening right now amuzes me.16:18
jrwrenlooks like it was a good pycon16:18
rick_h_yea, definitely16:18
jrwreni look forward to seeing videos posted.16:18
rick_h_I'll be headnig back next year16:18
rick_h_lots of videos up already. Watched two and watching guido's async talk now16:18
jrwrenone of our young guys went, but I don't know him very well.16:18
rick_h_http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=sOQLVm0-8Yg16:18
jrwrensweet thanks!16:18
jrwrenah, guido presented tulip eh?  I'd like to see how he presents it.16:19
rick_h_yep16:19
jrwrenI've been following tulip on python-ideas rather closely16:19
jrwrenit will be nice to have an async stack all teh way down.16:19
rick_h_yea, but SOOOOOO much work to make the stdlib friendly with it16:19
jrwrenyup16:19
rick_h_forget how much code runs all those 'batteries included'16:19
rick_h_but good goal to work towards16:20
jrwrenbasically anything network has to be redone bottom up.16:20
rick_h_yea16:20
jrwrenmakes me really appreciate what .net has had from day116:20
jrwrenwe use pycurl with multicurl to work around the issue today :)16:20
rick_h_ugh https://twitter.com/SendGrid/status/31476877657703628816:20
jrwrenbut that sucks.16:20
rick_h_jrwren: yea, job queue/multi-worker ftw for working around some of that16:21
jrwrenzomg, companies should stop firing people.16:21
rick_h_this is what I've mean. Everyone has gone way too far and this has blown up into a huge horrible mess16:21
rick_h_and now no one can let anything go long enough to settle down16:22
jrwrenyup16:22
jrwrenand now, I have strong opinions about a company that I didn't even know existed 1hr ago.16:23
jjesserick_h_ was it you that posted about that new debian release?  can't remember the name16:32
rick_h_jjesse: yea, it was something strange. Debian testing into a release with kde by default16:32
jjessethats what i thought16:33
jjesseah found it http://blog.tenstral.net/2013/03/tanglu.html16:34
rick_h_yea, there you go16:35
jjessejust announced no download16:35
rick_h_yea16:35
rick_h_but it's something to put on the radar in case mir/kde/ubuntu go down a rocky road as some kde folks worry about16:35
jjesseyeah16:36
brouschThe kerfluffle is growing?17:03
rick_h_brousch: yea, bigger and bigger17:03
brouschLovely17:04
snap-lAnd this is what happens wieh HR meets PR.17:13
snap-ls/wieh/when/17:13
rick_h_she said some things she shouldn't have...but not cool to DDoS her company...17:15
rick_h_ugh, I'm done with it. time to start blocking it all out...past time17:16
brouschUt oh , it has a name and hashtag17:16
brousch#donglegate17:16
rick_h_lalalalalalalalalalala17:16
snap-lYeah, unfortunately one company making it a PR problem has caused antoher company to make it a PR problem17:16
snap-land now it's got the hallmarks of us vs them17:16
snap-lit even hit some of the RPG circles I follow that are notorious for gender stuff17:17
greg-gso, I don't know the whole story, all I know is Adria (yes) stayed on my couch last night because of a death threat and her address being tweeted and posted on 4chan.17:17
brouschgreg-g: So you're in the thick of it now!17:18
snap-lgreg-g: That's bullshit17:18
greg-g?17:18
snap-lI mean bullshit that she had to hide17:18
greg-gright17:18
brouschNext you'll be helping her escape to Mexico17:18
rick_h_damn...have I mentioned how I hate people? They're so stupid.17:18
snap-lSeriously, this should never have left the Pycon fold17:18
snap-lPycon handled it. End of story17:19
greg-gyeah, I just heard the first parts of the story during work yesterday (omg, dudes got fired because someone tweeted their photo etc) and then next thing I knew I got an email from my housemate saying "hey, Adria's on our couch"17:19
rick_h_yea, it's been one bad decision after another and another and another...17:19
brouschAddress on 4chan would really suck17:19
rick_h_Mr. President, please flip the internet switch. Everyone needs to step away for a while17:19
snap-lI think she overreacted, but death threats, harassment, and termination are only effective at polarization and martyrdom17:19
greg-galso, I'm dealing with redeploying a broken wikimedia deployment :) Yay release manager!17:23
rick_h_greg-g: doh :(17:24
greg-grick_h_: plus one on the internet switch :)17:24
* snap-l goes to post greg-g's info on reddit17:24
snap-l;)17:24
greg-g:)17:26
greg-gfix backported, redeploying to our test wiki now, almost all better and can get started on the things I wanted to do today :)17:26
rick_h_greg-g: I feel a new test being added :)17:27
greg-gand man, I don't know about the internal infrastructure of other project ya'll have worked on, but my lord, Wikimedia Foundation cluster is something massive17:27
greg-grick_h_: yep, that was the second comment I made on the bug after "if this ain't fixed soon, rollback"17:28
greg-gcucumber test already created17:28
rick_h_launchpad hit me like that. litterally a dozen+ different daemons/services all working together17:28
greg-gyeah, crazy17:28
rick_h_layers and layers and layers, configs abound...and that's before you hit src code17:28
greg-gyep17:28
greg-gthe cool part is all of our puppet config is public (except a small number of password/authentication stuff in private repos)17:29
greg-ghttps://noc.wikimedia.org/17:29
snap-lgreg-g: That's awesome. Shared with our group17:38
greg-gyeah, I remeber their announcement a year or so ago that they were switching to public puppet/etc configs, was pretty cool17:39
greg-gbut, it's just how we roll, ya know? WMF is the only non-profit I know that is truly community-driven (and at this size)17:39
snap-lDefinitely17:40
brouschI just realized that I'm greg-g's boss! My $5/mo to Wikimedia is totally paying off now17:44
snap-lbrousch: Ask to drive the Wikimobile17:44
greg-gbrousch: :) yes massir17:44
rick_h_https://plus.google.com/u/0/104537541227697934010/posts/AqtHoWFWjkU interesting17:50
greg-ggreat, and our fix is itself broken......17:55
rick_h_greg-g: :/ double doh17:56
greg-gNO MORE REFACTORING CODE17:56
rick_h_lmao17:57
jrwren*gasp*17:57
greg-g:)17:57
greg-gcorrection: NO MORE REFACTORING CODE UNLESS YOU HAVE TEST COVERAGE17:57
jrwrenoh nice. 39:35 - guido shots out to C# :)18:27
snap-lgreg-g: Yeah, some times you just have to circle the wagons and stop the poo-flinging-patches18:48
greg-gyeah, we're going to sit still and think for a bit before moving forward :)18:50
