[03:16] http://i.imgur.com/mI3jt3i.jpg [12:42] morning [12:51] gah [12:51] that good eh? [13:01] heh, seems legit https://dl.dropbox.com/u/101667/screenshot-19.png [13:16] i wrote python yesterday. [13:16] crazy eh? [13:16] woot [13:17] and you still have both eyes in place? [13:17] oh yes. [13:17] yay [13:17] its not terrible most of the time. [13:17] I think the number of gripes is about on par with other great languages like C# [13:46] greg-g: we'll be there for some server sprint stuff [14:02] what is a good lightweight timer even library? gevent seems big to pull to just fire events every hour [14:18] Good morning === JonathanD is now known as JonathanS === JonathanS is now known as JonathanD [14:19] jrwren: Which language? [14:19] http://docs.python.org/2/library/sched.html [14:20] python [14:20] oh, sched? what is this? wrapper around sigalrm I hope [14:20] Likely [14:20] I think it uses whatever is available on the target OS [14:21] thanks. [14:21] i only target linux :) [14:21] Actually, it's a while loop [14:22] seriously? [14:22] Seriously [14:22] threading.timer it is! [14:23] cron! [14:23] avoiding cron [14:23] Honestly, if it's something you want to have happen on the hour or something like that, you might want to consider cron [14:24] yup, considered it. [14:24] i'm no nub [14:24] kk. :) [14:24] I've seen people avoid cron, only ro reimplement it poorly. :) [14:25] i wont be reimpl [14:25] and I wont have to lock to prevent concurrent execs [14:29] http://stackoverflow.com/a/384493/535883 [14:29] :) [14:36] i don't want that either. [14:36] 8 lines of code that i wont need [14:38] besides, updating the definition of a module variable from out of process doesn't sound easy to me. [14:39] That's what sed is for. ;) [14:40] Also, is this going to be a long-running process? That might have it's own bit of fun if the machine goes down. [14:40] or the process tanks. [14:41] lol, sed would be sweet. [14:42] does sed work on /proc/*/mem ? [14:42] not sure what you mean or what a long running process would make a difference. [14:42] I don't see why sed wouldn't work if there was a filesystem analogue there. :) [14:43] jrwren: Does persistence matter if someone pulled the plug on the machine, or if the system crashes? [14:45] ah, right. [14:45] nope, i write with chaos monkey in mind :) [15:30] jcastro: ah, I thought it may have been an ODS, but that's in Portland (just discovered) [17:26] No DVDs for 13.04 [17:26] I think that's a very smart move [17:26] honestly, they were worthless once the new release came out [17:26] I still have stacks of 12.10 discs [17:27] They're getting released into the wild at the release party. [17:27] yeah, I felt bad throwing away so many CDs over the years of being LoCo contact ;) [17:27] I've been fortunate to not have to throw out a disc [17:28] but I have just left them on the freebie table at Penguicon [17:28] fortunately they seem to have found homes [17:28] even if it was for someone's art project or for skeet. :) [17:28] good deal, you're a better pusher than I [17:28] greg-g: More a litterbug. ;) [17:28] both [17:28] ;) [17:37] snap-l: You sent them to me, you bastard :P [17:37] I have a frickin box full [17:38] Think of it like delegation. :) [17:40] meeting this weekend, BTW: http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ubuntu-michigan/514/detail/ [18:29] I think I'm getting lectured on how the Creative Commons works in the Creative Commons Metal Community that I created. [18:30] snap-l: you've made it [18:30] https://plus.google.com/u/0/106429198406662182216/posts/8FHNjLw4nFj?cfem=1 [18:32] <_stink_> haha [18:32] nice, he was trying to be helpful [18:32] Yeah, I understand. ;) [18:33] But still, I had to do a double-take. :) [18:33] and odd, I can't visually tell that this discussion was "happening" "within" the OMC group [18:33] I see "Cr..." linked at the top, but have to hover over it to see the group name, and that's the only place it is displayed? [18:34] Yeah, apparently. [18:34] oh g+ === jjesse_ is now known as jjesse === mydogsnameisrudy is now known as monkeyjuice
