rick_h_97hehe, now that I've got a case for this thing that will stand it up it's much nicer to use with a keyboard00:50
rick_h_97for a portable travel keyboard it's actually not that bad for feel either.00:50

snap-lhttp://statelaws.net/Michigan-Felony.php <- I find it somewhat unsettling that "accessing a computer" is a Class D felony in MI, but forging vehicle documents, assisting suicide, etc. are class E12:36
snap-l(And that link is because joDee and I were wondering if Kwame could run for office)12:37
snap-lYou have not lived until you've tried to throw a cat into a bathtub13:13
snap-lshe managed to lodge some crap in her back paw13:14
rick_h_lol, why would you do that?13:14
snap-lTried to get it off of her paw13:14
snap-lshe wasn't having any of it13:14
snap-lPicking her up to get it off was not happening13:14
rick_h_hmm, what's the vote on viewing pycon videos while at CHC tonight?13:16
snap-lNot opposed to it13:16
snap-lYou bringing the bandwidth?13:16
rick_h_yea13:16
rick_h_I've got the mifi, the portable router that'll allow for more than 10 connections13:17
rick_h_from now on I supply CHC bandwidth13:17
rick_h_at least when I'm there.13:17
snap-loh, cool13:17
snap-lThank you.13:17
widoxfancy13:19
widoxrick_h_: are you talking projecting vidoes on the wall?13:20
rick_h_widox: yea, I can bring the portable projector and speaker and stream videos if there's interest13:20
widoxthat could work13:21
widoxoh, and its early edition today13:21
rick_h_right13:22
rick_h_we could in theory get in a bunch of them as they're about 35min each13:22
rick_h_something for everyone kind of thing13:22
snap-lAnyone else trying pump.io?13:46
snap-lIt's interesting13:46
snap-lEvan is really trying to sell folks on the notion that there's no concept of just one server13:47
snap-lI think he sees that as a failing of idenit.cs13:47
snap-lidenti.ca13:47
rick_h_no, I give up13:49
snap-lrick_h_: Why's that?13:49
snap-lhttps://pumpity.net/snapl13:49
rick_h_just no sense trying pump.io. I'd given up on identica and such13:49
snap-lI think this iteration is more your speed.13:50
snap-lhttp://pump.io/13:50
brouschfederation is for star fleet?13:52
snap-lWell, I think we're finally out of the "not twitter / not facebook" era14:01
snap-land now we can have decent conversation of what it is we really want from federation14:01
snap-lwhich is "not G+". ;)14:01
snap-lSeriously, though, it's more "disconnected servers talking the same protocol set and following the good stuff and ignoring the rest"14:03
jrwrensnap-l: find anyone for ldap?14:18
snap-ljrwren: We're still looking, though ColonelPanic001 pointed us in the direction of someone who might be able to help14:18
snap-ljrwren: but we're still looking14:18
jrwreni'm a sucker for sharing information people want. if you are still in need, tap me.14:18
snap-ljrwren: Awesome. I thought you weren't entering Oakland County any time soon? :)14:19
jrwrenoh, good point.14:19
jrwrendamn.14:19
snap-lI should have mentined that after we roped you in. :)14:19
jrwrennow that I live in AA, I'm 20min closer. Mug still meets at Farmington Library, right?14:19
snap-lYep14:20
snap-lDirections are on the front page.14:20
snap-lWe changed it last night14:20
jrwren29mi, 29minutes says bing maps14:20
jrwrenso that isn't too bad.14:20
jrwrenwhen it was 45min it was a real drag.14:20
brouschrick_h_ , jcastro_ : Cory Doctrow is complaining about these instructions. Make it easier for him ;) http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx15:46
jrwrenthey do suck.15:48
jrwrenthe lesson is: don't use a mac.15:49
greg-gjrwren: says the mac user?15:50
brouschIt seems like a simple utility you download that gets the LTS or current ISO, convets it for you, then writes it to USB would help convert mac users15:51
jrwrenI hate my mac.16:17
greg-gjrwren: but also love it?16:17
greg-g;)16:17
jrwrenI mean, I love the hardware and when it works, it is nice, but OSX is too limiting and it crashes :(16:17
greg-git.... crashes?! that's unpossible for Apples, right?16:17
jrwrenI think it may have been a parallel's kernel module16:18
jrwreni removed parallels yesterday. I shall see if it is more stable.16:18
rick_h_brousch: sudo dd if=livecd-fedora-livecd-colorhug-201209041147.iso of=/dev/sdd17:25
rick_h_done17:25
rick_h_Blazeix: taught me the one true way that never fails17:25
brouschrick_h_: On OSX?17:27
rick_h_ugh, looking at those instructinos the answer is 'just use linux'17:27
brouschAnd WTF are you doing with Fedora?17:27
rick_h_brousch: colorhug livecd is fedora. It's worked on by a guy that works for RH17:27
rick_h_jcastro_: what you up to tonight? CHC?17:34
brouschwrt to "just use linus", someone trying to create an Ubuntu boot disk on OSX is probably thinking about using Linux, but an overly complicated experience just creating the boot media is likely to make them think it's all like that. First impressions, you know17:36
rick_h_brousch: right, but the fact that you want to create something using crappy tools so you can get access to other tools...17:37
greg-ghah17:37
greg-gyou guys17:37
rick_h_brousch: but yea, would be cool is there was a better way to iso -> usb on all platforms17:37
rick_h_greg-g: :P17:37
brouschI shouldn't even have to think about iso. I should download a boot drive creator that does it for me17:38
greg-ggood lord, those are shitty instructions17:38
rick_h_greg-g: yea, I +1 that it's bad17:39
greg-gbut, why can't we at least remove one of the steps by providing a dmg?17:39
rick_h_greg-g: not sure, can you use hdiutil on linux?17:39
greg-gdunno, but shouldn't matter, someone could set up a mac build box for it17:40
greg-gI mean, joeyh does it for his haskell project... and he's a debian guy17:40
brouschDoesn't half of Canonical use OSX? Or is that not the case any more?17:43
greg-gbrousch: zing, muther-effer17:43
rick_h_well I know some of the design folks. In the guys I work with there's a bunch of macs, but running ubuntu17:43
greg-gin a vm or on the metal?17:43
rick_h_on the metal17:44
rick_h_admittingly that's limited. The last sprint was 25 folks. There were probably 10 macs with ubuntu on the metal17:45
rick_h_my old boss used to run ubuntu in a vm, but changed with his machine. Got tired of fighting the vm17:45
rick_h_not saying it doesn't happen, but ime it's not a 10-20% thing among my circles.17:46
greg-gright17:46
brouschI think the 50% was a rumor started when Unity first came out17:46
rick_h_lol17:46
rick_h_I don't know it was every 50%17:46
rick_h_maybe 50% of the design folks17:46
rick_h_but not among engineering17:47
greg-gUnity is all made within the Design Team, right? without any community involvement, that's what a little birdy told me at least17:47
greg-gsorry...17:48
* rick_h_ goes back to getting work done :P17:48
greg-g:)17:49
brouschWow, greg-g the troll is vicious17:50
brouschI'm glad I'm usually on his side17:50
greg-g:)17:50
rick_h_how did I get stuck trying to defend a tool I don't use?17:51
brouschEmployer loyalty17:52
brouschYou're The Man now. Get used to it17:52
rick_h_hah, does that mean I get a key to "The Man" washroom?17:52
snap-lrick_h_: Right, but it's a family bathroom now17:53
snap-lHas a diaper changing station, and a giant "no smoking" sign17:53
Blazeixit is also a rip-off of the Apple washroom.18:24
greg-gBlazeix: thanks for going there for me18:24
snap-lhah18:24
BlazeixI have no problem taking cheap, uninformed shots :)18:29
snap-lTIL: uwsgi doesn't let the Pylons debugger through (or at least it has additional config to prevent it outside of the normal development.ini file)18:45
rick_h_snap-l: it needs to only have one worker. pdb can't work in multi-worker18:45
rick_h_snap-l: and of course you've got to run uwsgi manually in the terminal. It doesn't break when run in daemon mode18:45
snap-lAh, that's good to know.18:46
snap-lworkers can only be > 1 when debug mode is disabled/turned off18:46
snap-lHm, that seems like a useful comment that someone must've put in this INI file18:47
rick_h_yea, same with gunicorn/etc.18:47
snap-lhttp://www.dadhacker.com/blog/?p=197619:19
snap-lI'm really starting to hate uwsgi for debugging19:33
jrwrenyou've got a time machine, i've got a gun, what the hell, lets go kill hitler.19:34
snap-l" If in 2013 you’re still using Microsoft Office, you’re either in an organization/industry with extreme lock-in through custom business automation or similar that is built exclusively on Microsoft tools, or you’re actively contributing to the destruction of freedom and equality in the world. "20:10
snap-lgreg-g: Apparently every time I get a .xlsx file, I'm destroying freedom.20:11
snap-l"If you can’t be bothered, make up for it with a large donation to The Document Foundation, LibreOffice’s nonprofit organization.20:11
snap-lCan we get some DFD indulgences?20:12
snap-lI want to buy my way into freedom-heaven20:12
greg-gsnap-l: I don't think he's referring to people *receiving* them20:12
snap-lwell, as part of my work, I use OSS to generate them20:14
snap-lbecause we're in an age where CSV files aren't cutting it20:14
greg-gso.... you're in the first part20:14
greg-gor, if you don't need all the shit that Exel has, then yeah, you didn't lobby enough to get the use of LO :)20:15
greg-gfull disclosure, CC uses Word for some shit, and GDocs for others. I complained ALL THE TIME about it20:15
snap-lIf you're not part of the machinery, you're part of the problem. Yeah, that works.20:15
greg-gbut, fuck CC20:15
greg-goh, did I say that outloud, my bad20:16
brouschohmy20:16
brouschTroubles there?20:16
greg-gif one was good at reading tea leaves, one could figure out the problems easily20:16
greg-gI could simply link about 2 or maybe 3 blog posts here and you'd figure it out20:16
greg-gCC blog posts20:17
snap-lNot sure what they want to be when they grow up?20:17
greg-gthe one that isn't a blog post is "hey, we're going to move the office to MV from downtown SF!"20:17
greg-gsnap-l: that's the current incarnation of the problem20:17
snap-lOh jeez20:17
greg-gbut it goes deeper20:17
greg-gdon't worry, the licenses are fine20:18
snap-lyeah, I figured the licenses are OK20:18
greg-gseriously, the GC, Diane Peters, is amazing, and won't let anything bad happen to them20:18
snap-lbut I get the sense that the org has to justify itself20:18
snap-land somehow stay hip cool and current20:19
snap-lBiggest problem I'm seeing is the "copyleft" brigade trying to steer the ship of CC20:20
greg-gthat's all org's problem, of course20:21
greg-gnot the copyleft part ;)20:21
snap-lHonestly, I don't understand one whit of the whole coyleft nonsense20:21
snap-l(not to be confused with the GNU license)20:21
jrwrencopyleft is gnu20:22
snap-ljrwren: Not that copyleft, some other not-a-lawyer trying to fix the world's problems by yelling at people that everything should be free20:22
snap-lhttps://github.com/richardfontana/copyleft-next20:23
snap-lsorry, copyleft-next20:23
jrwrenoh20:23
greg-gthat's a terrible mischaracterization of that project20:23
greg-gseriously20:23
greg-gyou just conflated two things that are unrelated20:23
greg-gfontana is creating a new license, mostly as an art project to troll Bradley Kuhn20:23
snap-lOh, sorry20:23
greg-gthere is another thing which is the vocal aspect of the cc-community list that advocates everything being free20:24
snap-lIt's a lover's quarrel.20:24
greg-gunrelated20:24
greg-gthere's also good parts of copyleft-next, as a license, unequivocally20:25
snap-lgreg-g: Right, or requiring everything essentially be PD20:25
greg-gas in, it addresses many issues people have seen in (A)GPL20:25
greg-gsnap-l: so... you're referring there to the vocal minority on cc-community, right?20:25
snap-lI stopped following it months ago, but yes20:25
greg-gright20:25
snap-lI thought fontana was a part of that group20:26
greg-ghe hasn't posted on cc-community in a very long time, though I'm sure he's given feedback on CC 4.0, as he's a really good lawyer who works for RH20:26
greg-gI don't understand why there's animosity towards copyleft-next, though20:27
snap-lI think I've mistakenly mixed fontana with fabsh20:27
snap-las fabsh was an ass, and fontana was trolling. :)20:28
greg-goh god20:28
greg-gyeah, effing fabsh20:28
greg-gsingle handedly may have killed identi.ca20:28
greg-gthe community20:28
snap-lI don't think he can claim credit20:28
greg-ghe sure tried20:28
snap-ljust happened to hand out the pitchforks20:28
greg-g(to kill it)20:28
greg-gheh20:28
snap-lthere were plenty of assholes that trolled pretty hard in the name of freedom20:29
snap-l"Anybody heard about X" "YOU SHOULD USE Y BECAUSE Y IS BETTER"20:29
snap-l"Taking my kids to school" "DOES YOUR CAR USE GNU SOFTWARE? PROPRIETARY CARS ARE EVIL. I RIDE MY BIKE TO WORK BECAUSE MY BIKE IS POWERED BY MY FAT ASS"20:31
snap-letc, ad nauseum20:31
greg-gI actually never saw much of that, but, to each their own20:31
jcastro_lol, you guys still on about identica?20:32
snap-lSome of us still use it20:32
greg-gsnap-l: brought it up!20:32
snap-land are moving to pump.io. :)20:32
snap-lgreg-g: ofh fine, blame me20:32
greg-g:)20:32
greg-g"but mooooom! Johnny's the one who started it!"20:33
snap-lyeah, I had that only kid thing going. Nobody to blame20:34
jrwrenfree, for a certain definition of freedom20:34
jrwrenfree, for my definition of freedom20:34
jrwrenfree, for your definition of freedom20:34
jrwrenall different.20:34
jcastro_my favorite kind of freedom. If you're not using this software then you are not-free.20:36
jcastro_"You should use identica instead of twitter" seems more like coercion to freedom to me.20:36
jcastro_rick_h_: this intel ssd is sick20:39
jcastro_I mean, I've had SSDs before20:39
jcastro_but this one makes them all look like a joe20:39
jcastro_joke even20:39
jcastro_When I install packages it's like, as fast as an "ls" was on my old PC, lol.20:39
brouschGood sick or bad sick?20:40
jcastro_good sick20:40
jcastro_it's insanely fast20:41
rick_h_jcastro_: yea, I've got a 520 in my x230 and my test runs are 4-5x as fast as others22:55
rick_h_crazy <322:55
rick_h_http://www.speedtest.net/result/2604809224.png vs http://www.speedtest.net/result/2604806899.png take your pick23:10
