| snap-l | Picked up another Vornado fan | 00:20 |
|---|---|---|
| snap-l | ANd nothing wrong with using RPMs. They're easy to build and deploy | 00:20 |
| snap-l | and easy to verify | 00:20 |
| snap-l | Good morning | 12:59 |
| snap-l | Spending my last day of vacation at the Caribou in Royak Oak waiting for J to get out of class. | 13:00 |
| rick_h_ | morning party people | 13:49 |
| brousch | in the place to be | 13:52 |
| snap-l | Woo woo | 13:54 |
| rick_h_ | yea, something like that | 14:02 |
| snap-l | I'm only 20 pages into this Understanding C Pointers book and I've learned more about pointers than in the 20 odd years of half-assed noodling | 14:19 |
| snap-l | I blame most of that on me trying to avoid pointers like a plague | 14:30 |
| brousch | I hate pointers | 14:31 |
| snap-l | They're not my favorite either, but I'm finding they're more important than we give them credit | 14:35 |
| snap-l | and years of avoinding them is tiring. :) | 14:35 |
| brousch | It is easy to avoid them. Use a sane language. | 14:36 |
| jrwren | yesterday ssh_import_id: [evarlast] to my ubuntu cloud instance worked perfectly. today it doesn't. typical ubuntu? :) | 14:38 |
| jrwren | pointers: I don't see the big deal. | 14:38 |
| jrwren | *doh* that #cloud-config line is NOT a comment :) | 14:42 |
| rick_h_ | heh | 14:42 |
| jrwren | at least I hope that is the issue. *fingers crossed* | 14:42 |
| jrwren | yes, that was it. | 14:43 |
| rick_h_ | woot | 14:47 |
| greg-g | back from my first ACM conference (well, workshop) | 15:29 |
| greg-g | met a guy who reminds me a lot of jrwren :) | 15:29 |
| brousch | What's acm? | 15:30 |
| greg-g | Association of Computing Machines | 15:30 |
| * greg-g didn't make the Ass. jokpe | 15:30 | |
| greg-g | -p | 15:30 |
| brousch | Is that a real thing? | 15:31 |
| brousch | I saw an invite to it and threw it away | 15:31 |
| jrwren | brousch: ACM is the professional society for computer scientists. | 15:33 |
| greg-g | uh, yeah. biggest/most "respected" academic CS society | 15:33 |
| jrwren | it is the IEEE of computer science | 15:33 |
| * greg-g nods | 15:33 | |
| jrwren | brousch: if you have a computer science degree, then I'm disgusted that you don't know what ACM is. | 15:33 |
| greg-g | not really useful if you're not academic, about 99% of the time | 15:33 |
| greg-g | jrwren: he was anthro | 15:33 |
| jrwren | if you don't havea comp science degree, then it is totally understandable. | 15:33 |
| brousch | I don't have a computer science degree. I blame pointers. | 15:33 |
| jrwren | i was all happy to finally actually join ACM just a couple months ago. | 15:34 |
| jrwren | greg-g: so what was the workshop? | 15:34 |
| greg-g | Release Engineering, first one of its kind. about 80 people, with a 60/40% industry/academia (which means it was useful for me) | 15:45 |
| rick_h_ | very cool | 15:46 |
| greg-g | jrwren: two keynotes, one from Mozilla's RelEng lead and VP of Eng from LinkedIn | 15:46 |
| greg-g | LinkedIn, nevermind their business side, has some pretty awesome developer tools in-house | 15:47 |
| greg-g | oh, the person who reminded me of you jrwren (maybe because I haven't seen you in a while) was a previous release manager for subversion | 15:48 |
| greg-g | now at... Google? | 15:48 |
| jrwren | sweet. | 15:49 |
| jrwren | yes, linkedin does have to some sweet tech. its too bad that they are linkedin | 15:49 |
| greg-g | yep :) | 15:50 |
| jrwren | https://github.com/linkedin | 15:51 |

| greg-g | pongzor | 20:13 |
| brousch | Who's going to PyOhio this year? | 20:35 |
| jrwren | maybe? | 20:39 |
| jrwren | i'm not sure | 20:39 |
| rick_h_ | I'm going | 23:05 |
| rick_h_ | though I'm worried about it this year | 23:05 |
