[13:14] <snap-l> Good morning
[13:14] <rick_h> morning
[15:50] <rick_h> lmao, detroit bit on the daily show is great
[16:17] <jrwren> i'm gonna stab cloud-init in the face. it handles 1000 cases, and I can't figure out how to make it handle mine :)
[16:17] <jrwren> oh shit, as I type this, I think I just realized how to handle it.
[16:17] <rick_h> add smoser to add support for it
[16:17] <jrwren> sorry smoser
[16:17] <jrwren> :)
[16:17] <rick_h> ask that is
[16:17] <rick_h> lol
[16:17] <jrwren> nah, I'm not gonna ask him for my 1 stupid 1-off
[16:18] <rick_h> or he'll tell you why you're wrong and how to do it right :P
[16:18] <smoser> i'm curious.
[16:18] <smoser> what was wrong ?
[16:21] <jrwren> i have a command in place which uses user-data already. i was trying to wrap my head around how to use both.
[16:21] <jrwren> i think easy thing is to move that current user-data to cloud-config which writes a file
[16:22] <jrwren> then just check for the file before pulling meta user-data in my current script.
[16:22] <jrwren> fallback can be user-data
[16:22] <jrwren> i'm slow. it just wasn't clicking in my brain for a while there.
[16:22] <jrwren> too much C code lately had me in a different mode :p
[16:39] <jrwren> smoser: btw, cloud init is splendid.
[16:41] <smoser> "command in place"
[16:41] <smoser> meaning its already in your image ?
[16:41] <smoser> oh. i think i understand now. yeah.
[16:41] <smoser> you coudl also make that "command" be a part-handler
[16:43] <jrwren> i'd have to patch cloud-init to do that.
[16:43] <jrwren> i want it to work today. maybe even yesterday (12.04) :)
[17:54] <smoser> jrwren, why would you have ot patch cloud-init ?
[17:54] <smoser> you can send a part-handler in user-data
[17:54] <jrwren> that is waht I plan on doing
[17:55] <jrwren> but there are only so many part-handlers, right?
[17:55] <smoser> no.
[17:55] <jrwren> oh, python code.
[17:55] <smoser> they're loaded on being seen
[17:55] <jrwren> i was avoiding that.
[17:55] <smoser> and applied.
[17:55] <smoser> only one part handler can claim a given type
[17:56] <jrwren> right, at first i was looking for a "write file" type handler. in my case the old user-data is pretty small, I was just going to embed it into cloud-config runcmd
[17:57] <jrwren> where the runcmd is going to be echo "THINGS" > FILE
[20:54] <brousch> snap-l rick_h: You guys see the email from Karl Karston re: Pyohio?
[21:15] <smoser> jrwren, i dont mean to offend you, but if you have MAC and virtualbox tendencies, this might help a bit (although i'm sure you would have figture dhtis out)

[21:20] <snap-l> Looks like Carl figured out his ride situation
