| greg-g | rick_h_: we were going to switch to Ceph (from Swift), but ran into some show-stoppers :/ | 04:08 |
|---|---|---|
| greg-g | reported upstream, and we've even fixed a few with upstream (and they fixed a few), but it still isn't quite there :( | 04:09 |
| derekv | there seemed to be a popular thing at GM to create a soap interface. you send a soap envolope to a soap endpoint with a command in xml and get a soap response back, but you call the whole thing a "REST" interface. | 05:32 |
| derekv | keep coming across it | 05:32 |
| derekv | about as restful as I am gangsta | 05:32 |
| rick_h_ | greg-g: really? Interesting. Our IS guys have been really impressed with it. I've not messed with the use of it myself so just going off reputation. We've still got some swift, but it's all planned to go the way of the dodo | 11:05 |
| cmaloney | Good morning | 13:51 |
| rick_h_ | morning | 13:51 |
| rick_h_ | cmaloney: spent some time looking into the hangouts stuff. Not sure how we're going to get an mp3 out of it yet :/ | 13:52 |
| cmaloney | Ugh | 13:52 |
| brousch1 | ffmpeg -i hangout.webm hangout.mp3 | 13:53 |
| greg-g | rick_h_: yeah, I don't know the specifics, but, we're a pretty tough customer :-) Our use case is pretty intense. | 15:24 |
| rick_h_ | greg-g: that's cool/good to know | 15:30 |
| rick_h_ | man, podcast syncing is soooo cool | 15:37 |
| rick_h_ | it's like getting audible syncing all over again | 15:37 |
| greg-g | rick_h_: syncing on what? | 15:41 |
| rick_h_ | greg-g: pocketcasts android podcast app can sync your listening state/etc from devices | 15:42 |
| rick_h_ | greg-g: so was listening to a podcast, wanted to move to my phone with headphones, picked it right up where I left off on the tablet | 15:42 |
| greg-g | nice | 15:42 |
| cmaloney | That's really nice. | 16:14 |
| cmaloney | btw: The Caribou in Royal Oak on Woodward is │ | 18:50 |
| cmaloney | closing on Oct 6th | 18:50 |
| cmaloney | rick_h_: ^ | 18:51 |
| cmaloney | at 10pm | 18:51 |
| rick_h_ | cmaloney: cool, gives us a couple of weeks to figure out wtf to do | 18:52 |
| rick_h_ | suggestions welcome | 18:52 |
| cmaloney | Well, the Downtown Royal Oak caribou will be a Peet's on Oct 3rd | 18:52 |
| cmaloney | There's also a Bean and Tea that may be opne at the old Madison Heights location | 18:53 |
| mathomastech | Just got Ubuntu Touch installed on my Nexus 7. Kinda disappointed. It's still completely unusable. :( | 18:53 |
| rick_h_ | cmaloney: down off 4th street one? | 18:54 |
| cmaloney | Yeah | 18:54 |
| rick_h_ | ugh, all the way down to 11mi | 18:54 |
| rick_h_ | I guess if they have room it'll be cool | 18:54 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, and lord knows how packed it'll be | 18:54 |
| cmaloney | but on the plus side, there's a Starbucks, Bean and Leaf, and a Goldfish Tea that could pick up the slack | 18:55 |
| cmaloney | jcastro: Rush Clockwork Angels DVD pre-order is up: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F878K4S?tag=estengercom-20 | 18:59 |
| cmaloney | I got the DVD, but there's also Blu-Ray | 18:59 |
| cmaloney | (and for the Rush-curious, this is probably the tour to get acquainted) | 19:00 |
| cmaloney | They're at the height of their powers. | 19:00 |
| jcastro | oh dude | 19:01 |
| jcastro | this is the tour I missed | 19:01 |
| cmaloney | Yeah | 19:01 |
| jcastro | the one with all the synth songs | 19:01 |
| jcastro | I like this trend of a concert DVD for each tour | 19:02 |
| cmaloney | Also listening to the Dream Theater album pre-stream | 19:02 |
| cmaloney | and while I'm still sore that Mike Portnoy isn't in the band, this is a decent James LaBrie solo album. :) | 19:03 |
| cmaloney | (OK, that's a bit unfair) | 19:03 |
| cmaloney | rick_h_: I found your christmas gift: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Used-Cherry-ErgoPlus-MX5000-numeric-pad-mechanical-keyboard-/261287243023?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item3cd5eeed0f&ssPageName=RSS:B:SHOP:US:101 | 22:01 |
| gamerchick02 | it has free shipping! | 22:03 |
| cmaloney | Personally I don't understand why everyone goes gaga for this keyboard. :) | 22:06 |
| gamerchick02 | i've got a question for you, cmaloney: what does one of those fancy code keyboards give me over a Razer Black Widow? | 22:06 |
| gamerchick02 | well, maybe because it splits or something? | 22:06 |
| gamerchick02 | i duno | 22:06 |
| gamerchick02 | *dunno | 22:06 |
| cmaloney | IYeah, I think that's it | 22:07 |
| cmaloney | Re: the other keyboards, the construction tends to be better than the Razer keyboards | 22:07 |
| gamerchick02 | ah. | 22:07 |
| cmaloney | ie: more metal parts | 22:07 |
| gamerchick02 | maybe when the Razer dies, i'll get a Code. | 22:07 |
| gamerchick02 | but i'm not super hard on keyboards i guess. | 22:07 |
| cmaloney | I think the razers use cherry switches | 22:07 |
| gamerchick02 | my old MS Natural is still ticking... the only thing wrong with it is that the foot on the back came off and it's off balance. | 22:08 |
| gamerchick02 | yeah they do. blue maybe? i dunno | 22:08 |
| gamerchick02 | the force is nice but not too hard to push on. | 22:08 |
| gamerchick02 | and it's nice and clacky. | 22:08 |
| gamerchick02 | i didn't get the backlit one. | 22:08 |
| cmaloney | I seem to remember them using blue switches | 22:08 |
| cmaloney | which if you like the noise, that's fine | 22:08 |
| gamerchick02 | i've only had one problem and sometimes it "gets confused" in both windows and linux and will type one letter forever | 22:09 |
| gamerchick02 | i have to unplug it from the back of the computer and plug it back in and then it works | 22:09 |
| gamerchick02 | happens maybe... once every 6 months maybe. | 22:09 |
| gamerchick02 | i live alone and the noise doesn't bother me. i've not had any complaints from the neighbors either. | 22:09 |
| gamerchick02 | :-P | 22:09 |
| cmaloney | THat's the ohter advantage of some of the keyboards, better "de-bounce" preverevention | 22:09 |
| gamerchick02 | de-bounce? | 22:10 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, any time the keyboard puts multiple letters, that's called "bounce" | 22:10 |
| gamerchick02 | BUT i do like the fact that this keyboard has a USB port on the side as well as headphone and mic jacks. | 22:10 |
| gamerchick02 | i didn't know that. | 22:10 |
| gamerchick02 | nice. | 22:10 |
| gamerchick02 | well, the Razer was on sale at microcenter for $75 (non backlit) and it's a decent model, so i guess i've nothing to complain about. | 22:11 |
| gamerchick02 | i haven't done much with their special driver under windows though. | 22:11 |
| gamerchick02 | apparently there are modes for it and i have macro keys, but i've not set them up for WoW or D3 yet. guess i don't need them... | 22:12 |
