[12:15] <rick_h> http://i.imgur.com/hINj1xf.png lol of the day
[12:15] <rick_h> and morning
[12:21] <brousch> nice
[13:40] <cmaloney> Good morning
[13:42] <rick_h> http://blogs.atlassian.com/2013/08/atlassian-kids-scratch-their-programming-itch-shipit-style/
[13:46] <cmaloney> http://openmetalcast.com/2013/08/19/open-metalcast-episode-78-sportball-surprise/
[13:47] <cmaloney> I really wish more blogs supported urls that if truncated will not 404
[13:47] <cmaloney> case in point: the atlassian link
[13:53] <rick_h> ugh, I'm going to get into trouble, but my new response to anything about women in programming is going to be "why don't you pick up the sword for equality in lawn-mowing services?" "Why are there so few women showing up at my house offering to mow my lawn...just think about it!"
[13:54] <cmaloney> Actually I've seen women mowing lawns
[13:54] <rick_h> well there are 5 services on this street and I've not seen one
[13:54] <rick_h> so there must not be any
[13:54] <cmaloney> riiiiight.
[13:55] <brousch> LAwn mowing is physically taxing. Men are larger than women. Are you saying a similar situation applies in programming?
[13:55] <rick_h> http://farukat.es/journal/2013/08/692-why-are-there-so-few-good-men-programmers for the ugh of the day
[13:55] <cmaloney> But yeah, I'm a little tired of feeling like I'm somehow responsible for the lack of something in my interests
[14:10] <brousch> I just ignore it
[14:11] <jrwren> i also just ignore it. I'm tired, plus i'm a white male, i'm not allowed to talk about i.
[14:11] <cmaloney> jrwren: And that's the other thing
[15:08] <greg-g> rick_h: one of my current roommates is/was a gardener (she's now 7 months pregnant, so yeah)
[15:08] <greg-g> just a fancy lawn mower ;)
[15:14] <greg-g> wait, groklaw is shutting down because... email is insecure?
[15:14] <greg-g> have they not heard of gpg?
[15:16] <brousch> greg-g: I can't say it makes much sense to me either
[15:22] <rick_h> greg-g: yea, that one seemed more of a "you all have killed the idealism of the internet for me" vs a "there's no way we can continue with current available tech"
[15:22] <rick_h> jcastro: you ever end up getting a fitbit? Get it working ok and such?
[15:23] <jcastro> yeah
[15:23] <jcastro> works awesome
[15:23] <jcastro> got the scale too
[15:24] <rick_h> jcastro: which one did you get?
[15:24] <jcastro> the flex, the wristband one
[15:25] <rick_h> jcastro: cool, thanks
[15:25] <greg-g> rick_h: yeah, that's probably more the feeling
[15:26] <jcastro> rick_h: supposedly the clip on ones are more accurate
[15:26] <jcastro> but when I had that I lost it
[15:26] <jcastro> actually, I washed it.
[15:26] <rick_h> greg-g: which I understand. If something causes you to lose your passion for the thing and all. but the internet blow up is focused as if it's tech related
[15:26] <jcastro> the flex is somewhat waterproof
[15:26] <rick_h> jcastro: yea, I've kept putting it off reading reviews and such
[15:27] <rick_h> and none of them seem to do well with biking
[15:27] <rick_h> jcastro: but I think it's time to just do *something* and figure out how to supplement the info with the extra bits
[15:27] <jcastro> yeah I think you'd just go back into the web UI and mark the time off as "biking"
[15:28] <jcastro> and then that would do what you want
[15:28] <jcastro> the nice thing I love about the flex isn't even the fitbit part
[15:28] <jcastro> it has a silent alarm
[15:28] <jcastro> so like, my wristband vibrates so I can wakeup without waking jill up
[15:28] <rick_h> hah, that's cool.
[15:29] <rick_h> I've done that with my pebble once but don't like sleeping with my watch on.
[15:30] <jcastro> yeah
[15:30] <jcastro> the only bummer about the flex is it was backordered and I had to wait like a month
[15:30] <jcastro> and the other-color wristbands are backordered too
[15:30] <rick_h> ah, they're in on AMZ
[15:30] <jcastro> so I can't wear the ubuntu orange band. :-/
[15:30] <rick_h> well the flex is, didn't check the bands
[15:31] <greg-g> I have this huge "shake n' wake" thingy that is a cheap-ass no-name brand (literally, there is no brand name anywhere on it) thing that does that. worked pretty well when I was getting up at 5:30 to commute to Mountain View without waking Rowan/Carrie
[15:31] <jcastro> rick_h: the scale is badass
[15:31] <jcastro> you get like badges when you lose weight
[15:31] <jcastro> "10 pound club" and stuff
[15:31] <rick_h> heh
[15:31] <greg-g> you only weight 10 pounds?
[15:31] <jcastro> http://www.amazon.com/Fitbit-Flex-Wristband-Accessory-Large/dp/B00BGO0QBM/ref=sr_1_8?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1377012662&sr=1-8
[15:31] <greg-g> -t
[15:31] <jcastro> lol seriously
[15:32] <jcastro> way to play to the market there
[15:35] <rick_h> wtf is with the complete 'world fail!' lately? http://r.bmark.us/u/7b7adddc073674
[15:35]  * rick_h just goes back to bed...screw this place
[15:36] <brousch> The End Times are almost here
[15:36] <greg-g> all your fancy hard drive encryption won't save you from... LOCUSTS!
[15:37] <greg-g> btw, yesterday was my 6 month anniversary at WMF :)
[15:37] <rick_h> greg-g: woot!
[15:37] <greg-g> I got my WMF messenger bag :)
[15:37] <brousch> Don't locusts just eat all the food? Surely we can deter them with chemicals or technology
[15:38] <greg-g> but then.... THE PLAGUE!
[15:38] <brousch> I've had my shots
[15:39] <greg-g> and then... THE TRUMPETS OH MY GOD THE TRUMPETS HAVE YOU EVER HEARD SOMEONE SINCE LUIS ARMSTRONG PLAY THE TRUMPET WELL? OF COURSE NOT! THIS IS GOING TO SUCK!
[15:40]  * greg-g may have failed any bible related tests in his life
[16:01] <jrwren> really?
[16:01] <jrwren> i was raised in sunday school. I know lots of bible stories.
[16:30] <cmaloney> Same here
[16:30] <cmaloney> Let us divide some babies, yo.
[16:31] <jrwren> only a king can do that
[16:33] <cmaloney> OK, this is cool / messed up
[16:33] <cmaloney> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etWxm4GXfpE
[16:33] <cmaloney> Someone is uploading my episodes to Youtube
[16:33] <jrwren> send 'em a "thanks" ?
[16:34] <jrwren> wait, you are CC NC  right?
[16:34] <cmaloney> I am
[16:34] <cmaloney> Is there an ad on it?
[16:34] <jrwren> if they run ads on the YT vid, its a violation of the NC part
[16:34] <jrwren> nope, no ad
[16:36] <cmaloney> I mean, I'd prefer they link back to the show page (archive.org or omc), but I find it interesting that someone is going through the trouble of even uploading these things
[16:40] <rick_h> OMC on my chromecast!
[17:00] <cmaloney> w000t
[17:14] <jrwren> my brain is broken.
[17:15] <cmaloney> http://arstechnica.com/business/2013/08/barnes-noble-not-giving-up-on-nook-tablets-after-all/
[17:15] <rick_h> same here, so took a half day sick day.
[17:15] <rick_h> cmaloney: heh, avoided linking that. They'll keep on kicking until they're out of money I guess.
[17:15] <cmaloney> Well, I think they need to identify their core market
[17:16] <cmaloney> they're not a kindle killer, they're a B&N shopper convienience finder
[17:16] <rick_h> AMZ haters?
[17:16] <cmaloney> And people who like ePub
[17:16] <jrwren> i can't remember the name of that pythong thing
[17:16] <jrwren> python environment thingy
[17:16] <jrwren> virtualenv.
[17:16] <jrwren> took me like 30min to remember that
[17:16] <cmaloney> Though they should never have said they were killing the nook
[17:17] <rick_h> "MS come and throw money at us please!"
[17:17] <rick_h> jrwren: ah, ugh
[17:18] <cmaloney> Yeah, that's not going to happen unless your name is Nokia
[17:18] <jrwren> "that thing that lets me type activate and deactivate"
[17:18] <cmaloney> And God knows why that is
[17:22] <jrwren> pyenv-virtualenv is weird
[19:03] <cmaloney> http://wsgiwar.com/
[19:48] <rick_h> so http://benjaminkerensa.com/2013/08/14/firefox-to-remain-default-very-nice makes a lot more sense now http://benjaminkerensa.com/2013/08/20/north-america-mozilla-reps-meetup
[19:58] <rick_h> geeze, http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/08/uk-home-office-defends-nine-hour-interrogation-of-journalists-partner/
[19:58] <rick_h> I love this line "The official reason for destroying The Guardian's hard drives is also related to public safety. The thinking was that the newspaper could have been hacked, and the secret information could have been acquired by those who would do harm to the nation."
[19:58] <rick_h> your computer could have been hacked, and data exposed...so we went in and destroyed it for you. You'll get a bill in the mail kthx.
[21:19] <cmaloney> Pretty sure my bad days start with "There's a report we'd like you to generate"
[21:20] <trevlar> that request sounds very familiar
[21:21] <cmaloney> If it weren't for meaningless reports, tehre'd be no need for computer professionals in business
[21:39] <jrwren> a web page is just a meaningless report.
[21:39] <jrwren> wordpress automates meaningless report creation of the blog variety.
