[00:20] Picked up another Vornado fan [00:20] ANd nothing wrong with using RPMs. They're easy to build and deploy [00:20] and easy to verify [12:59] Good morning [13:00] Spending my last day of vacation at the Caribou in Royak Oak waiting for J to get out of class. [13:49] morning party people [13:52] in the place to be [13:54] Woo woo [14:02] yea, something like that [14:19] 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 [14:30] I blame most of that on me trying to avoid pointers like a plague [14:31] I hate pointers [14:35] They're not my favorite either, but I'm finding they're more important than we give them credit [14:35] and years of avoinding them is tiring. :) [14:36] It is easy to avoid them. Use a sane language. [14:38] yesterday ssh_import_id: [evarlast] to my ubuntu cloud instance worked perfectly. today it doesn't. typical ubuntu? :) [14:38] pointers: I don't see the big deal. [14:42] *doh* that #cloud-config line is NOT a comment :) [14:42] heh [14:42] at least I hope that is the issue. *fingers crossed* [14:43] yes, that was it. [14:47] woot [15:29] back from my first ACM conference (well, workshop) [15:29] met a guy who reminds me a lot of jrwren :) [15:30] What's acm? [15:30] Association of Computing Machines [15:30] * greg-g didn't make the Ass. jokpe [15:30] -p [15:31] Is that a real thing? [15:31] I saw an invite to it and threw it away [15:33] brousch: ACM is the professional society for computer scientists. [15:33] uh, yeah. biggest/most "respected" academic CS society [15:33] it is the IEEE of computer science [15:33] * greg-g nods [15:33] brousch: if you have a computer science degree, then I'm disgusted that you don't know what ACM is. [15:33] not really useful if you're not academic, about 99% of the time [15:33] jrwren: he was anthro [15:33] if you don't havea comp science degree, then it is totally understandable. [15:33] I don't have a computer science degree. I blame pointers. [15:34] i was all happy to finally actually join ACM just a couple months ago. [15:34] greg-g: so what was the workshop? [15:45] Release Engineering, first one of its kind. about 80 people, with a 60/40% industry/academia (which means it was useful for me) [15:46] very cool [15:46] jrwren: two keynotes, one from Mozilla's RelEng lead and VP of Eng from LinkedIn [15:47] LinkedIn, nevermind their business side, has some pretty awesome developer tools in-house [15:48] 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] now at... Google? [15:49] sweet. [15:49] yes, linkedin does have to some sweet tech. its too bad that they are linkedin [15:50] yep :) [15:51] https://github.com/linkedin === mydognameisrudy is now known as mydogsnameisrudy [20:11] greg-g: ping [20:13] pongzor [20:35] Who's going to PyOhio this year? [20:39] maybe? [20:39] i'm not sure [23:05] I'm going [23:05] though I'm worried about it this year
