| paulproteus | JonathanD: I have a freenode question! | 02:29 |
|---|---|---|
| paulproteus | I thought I'd ask you here rather than in an official channel, if that is okay (-: | 02:30 |
| paulproteus | In particular -- some friends and I have an open source quasi-hackerspace community called Beowulf Cluster. We want to use #beowulf, and while it is currently reg'd, no one is using it. Can we have it? | 02:30 |
| paulproteus | See http://rose.makesad.us/pipermail/beowulf-cluster/2013-March/thread.html for our community mailing list and info about our free software-oriented hackathon events. | 02:30 |
| paulproteus | JonathanD: For now, I will actually try talking to the channel owner (-: | 02:36 |
| ChinnoDog | Anyone here consider themselves knowledgable about open source e-learning software? | 02:42 |
| ChinnoDog | I decided to poke around a Moodle demo site since it is a mainstream e-learning package but it is so ugly and confusing. I expected something different. | 02:47 |
| JonathanD | hi paulproteus | 05:47 |
| JonathanD | Do that first, but you can also submit a request for it. | 05:47 |
| pleia2 | JonathanD: it is very strange that you are awake | 05:47 |
| JonathanD | I just woke up. | 05:48 |
| JonathanD | That probably isn't any better, is it. | 05:48 |
| pleia2 | this is early even for you :) | 05:48 |
| JonathanD | Ok, well, the sled was propped up against the door, because it snowed yesterday, and I was going to take the kids up to the park (but it was mostly de-snowed there before I got home) | 05:48 |
| JonathanD | And it fell down, and the dog decided it did not belong down (he's slightly ocd) so he started yelling at it. | 05:49 |
| pleia2 | aha :) | 05:49 |
| JonathanD | So I had to come address that. | 05:49 |
| JonathanD | and I let him outside, and picked up my laptop while I'm waiting for him. | 05:49 |
| JonathanD | Is that better? :P | 05:49 |
| pleia2 | yes, thank you | 05:50 |
| pleia2 | :{ | 05:50 |
| pleia2 | :P | 05:50 |
| JonathanD | Good morning. | 05:50 |
| JonathanD | (I beat rmg) | 05:50 |
| pleia2 | it's still yesterday here | 05:50 |
| JonathanD | hah | 05:50 |
| rmg51 | Morning | 09:32 |
| rmg51 | the real morning | 09:32 |
| JonathanD | Hi rmg51 | 10:11 |
| rmg51 | o/ | 10:34 |
| JonathanD | Whats up? | 10:48 |
| rmg51 | nothing new | 11:08 |
| rmg51 | just the usual morning stuff | 11:08 |
| JonathanD | Sounds great. | 11:18 |
| JonathanD | HI adom | 11:18 |
| JonathanD | paulproteus_: morning! | 11:24 |
| rmg51 | bye | 11:25 |
| JonathanD | later rmg51 | 11:25 |
| teddy-dbear | Morning peoples, dogs, turkeys and everything else | 12:07 |
| ChinnoDog | I would prefer to still be sleeping | 12:08 |
| teddy-dbear | me too | 12:10 |
| rmg51 | bed is always better then work | 12:11 |
| ChinnoDog | I could use an egg souffle from Panera | 12:49 |
| waltman | I didn't know they did egg souffles | 13:35 |
| ChinnoDog | waltman: You are mising out | 13:48 |
| ChinnoDog | missing | 13:48 |
| ChinnoDog | The spinach & bacon egg souffle is my favorite. | 14:42 |
| waltman | I'll have to try it sometime! | 14:43 |
| JonathanD | it seems like bear rock is just gone | 14:50 |
| JonathanD | I don't think they moved. | 14:50 |
| waltman | Yeah, seems like it to me, too. | 14:58 |
| JonathanD | I'm kinda sad. | 14:58 |
| waltman | I've been getting these odd craving for their farmers omelet :( | 14:59 |
| JonathanD | The omelets were excellent. | 14:59 |
| JonathanD | The burgers and sandwiches, too | 15:01 |
| ChinnoDog | No one answered my e-learning software question. Surely there are opionions. MutantTurkey? waltman? | 17:10 |
| pleia2 | moodle is pretty much the default for open source options, but you might also check out canvas: instructure.com | 17:12 |
| pleia2 | but there are lots of moodle guides out there if you need help figuring out the workflow | 17:13 |
| ChinnoDog | Of all of them the moodle demo was the ugliest. Surely that counts for a lot with an elearing software. Checking out Canvas now | 17:20 |
| MutantTurkey | alright, I need to name my python package... and it's a python implementation of something called FEAST | 17:24 |
| MutantTurkey | or FS for short | 17:24 |
| MutantTurkey | PyFeast is boring | 17:24 |
| MutantTurkey | any ideas? | 17:24 |
| waltman | ChinnoDog: All I know about e-learning is that the commercial system Drexel uses sucks. | 17:26 |
| ChinnoDog | Canvas is beautiful. Thanks pleia2 | 17:27 |
| pleia2 | sure | 17:27 |
| ChinnoDog | Canvas ftw | 17:28 |
| ChinnoDog | waltman: The one that DeVry uses is pretty ugly too. | 17:28 |
| MutantTurkey | when is the new drexel One coming out? | 17:29 |
| waltman | Among my gripes with the old system is that if you tried to paste code into a text box in their discussion forums, it wouldn't display any of your formatting. | 17:30 |
| waltman | Makes it rather challenging to read lisp code that way :) | 17:31 |
| ChinnoDog | "If you're a technologist, most software is bad. Think of the worst software you use and you probably have a business idea." | 17:39 |
| ChinnoDog | so true | 17:39 |
| paulproteus_ | JonathanD: Likewise! | 17:45 |
| JonathanD | paulproteus_: is there a website or just the ML? | 17:52 |
| paulproteus_ | For now, there is just the mailing list. There is an events page here: http://pointlesstopology.com/events | 17:53 |
| paulproteus_ | But not a full website just about the event. | 17:53 |
| paulproteus_ | Although nm, I guess the above really is about the event! | 17:53 |
| === paulproteus_ is now known as paulproteus | ||
| paulproteus | JonathanD: ^ Yes, there is a website | 17:54 |
| JonathanD | Ok. I'll see what I can find out. | 17:54 |
| pleia2 | I should go sometime, sunday nights are just lousy for me (half the time there is an ubuntu california night, the other half I'm spending QT with my fiance :)) | 17:55 |
| pleia2 | s/night/meeting | 17:55 |
| pleia2 | who am I kidding, every night is bad | 17:57 |
| paulproteus | pleia2: Qt!! I thought you were an XFCE user!! | 18:12 |
| paulproteus | (just kidding) | 18:12 |
| paulproteus | (also I nearly typed XKCD user) | 18:12 |
| pleia2 | :P | 18:13 |
| ChinnoDog | pleia2: Are you committed to using Tiny Tiny RSS as your Google Reader replacement? There is this: http://www.digg.com/reader | 19:09 |
| pleia2 | right, moving to another 3rd party hosted reader (that's not even finished) makes a ton of sense :P | 19:10 |
| pleia2 | tt-rss works great, I don't even like digg | 19:10 |
| === paulproteus is now known as shauna | ||
| === shauna is now known as paulproteus | ||
| ChinnoDog | But they have 96 days 4 hours and 44 mins to finish it | 19:16 |
| ChinnoDog | Even if it is just a google reader clone I might be happy with it | 19:16 |
| paulproteus | pleia2: I use hosted newsblur periodically, which I know I can self-host, as a random factoid. | 19:57 |
| paulproteus | I haven't actually read RSSs in ~1y though. | 19:57 |
