greg-grick_h_: we were going to switch to Ceph (from Swift), but ran into some show-stoppers :/04:08
greg-greported upstream, and we've even fixed a few with upstream (and they fixed a few), but it still isn't quite there :(04:09
derekvthere 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
derekvkeep coming across it05:32
derekvabout as restful as I am gangsta05:32
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 dodo11:05

rick_h_morning13:51

greg-grick_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 know15:30
rick_h_man, podcast syncing is soooo cool15:37
rick_h_it's like getting audible syncing all over again15:37
greg-grick_h_: syncing on what?15:41
rick_h_greg-g: pocketcasts android podcast app can sync your listening state/etc from devices15:42
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 tablet15:42

cmaloneyThere's also a Bean and Tea that may be opne at the old Madison Heights location18:53
mathomastechJust 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
cmaloneyYeah18:54
rick_h_ugh, all the way down to 11mi18:54
rick_h_I guess if they have room it'll be cool18:54
cmaloneyYeah, and lord knows how packed it'll be18:54
cmaloneybut on the plus side, there's a Starbucks, Bean and Leaf, and a Goldfish Tea that could pick up the slack18:55
cmaloneyjcastro: Rush Clockwork Angels DVD pre-order is up: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F878K4S?tag=estengercom-2018:59
cmaloneyI got the DVD, but there's also Blu-Ray18:59
cmaloney(and for the Rush-curious, this is probably the tour to get acquainted)19:00
cmaloneyThey're at the height of their powers.19:00
jcastrooh dude19:01
jcastrothis is the tour I missed19:01
cmaloneyYeah19:01
jcastrothe one with all the synth songs19:01
jcastroI like this trend of a concert DVD for each tour19:02
cmaloneyAlso listening to the Dream Theater album pre-stream19:02
cmaloneyand 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
cmaloneyrick_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:10122:01
gamerchick02it has free shipping!22:03
cmaloneyPersonally I don't understand why everyone goes gaga for this keyboard. :)22:06
gamerchick02i've got a question for you, cmaloney: what does one of those fancy code keyboards give me over a Razer Black Widow?22:06
gamerchick02well, maybe because it splits or something?22:06
gamerchick02i duno22:06
gamerchick02*dunno22:06
cmaloneyIYeah, I think that's it22:07
cmaloneyRe: the other keyboards, the construction tends to be better than the Razer keyboards22:07
gamerchick02ah.22:07
cmaloneyie: more metal parts22:07
gamerchick02maybe when the Razer dies, i'll get a Code.22:07
gamerchick02but i'm not super hard on keyboards i guess.22:07
cmaloneyI think the razers use cherry switches22:07
gamerchick02my 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
gamerchick02yeah they do. blue maybe? i dunno22:08
gamerchick02the force is nice but not too hard to push on.22:08
gamerchick02and it's nice and clacky.22:08
gamerchick02i didn't get the backlit one.22:08
cmaloneyI seem to remember them using blue switches22:08
cmaloneywhich if you like the noise, that's fine22:08
gamerchick02i've only had one problem and sometimes it "gets confused" in both windows and linux and will type one letter forever22:09
gamerchick02i have to unplug it from the back of the computer and plug it back in and then it works22:09
gamerchick02happens maybe... once every 6 months maybe.22:09
gamerchick02i live alone and the noise doesn't bother me. i've not had any complaints from the neighbors either.22:09
gamerchick02:-P22:09
cmaloneyTHat's the ohter advantage of some of the keyboards, better "de-bounce" preverevention22:09
gamerchick02de-bounce?22:10
cmaloneyYeah, any time the keyboard puts multiple letters, that's called "bounce"22:10
gamerchick02BUT i do like the fact that this keyboard has a USB port on the side as well as headphone and mic jacks.22:10
gamerchick02i didn't know that.22:10
gamerchick02nice.22:10
gamerchick02well, 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
gamerchick02i haven't done much with their special driver under windows though.22:11
gamerchick02apparently 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
