rick_h_https://twitter.com/JKCorden/status/379901139896242176 to start your day12:24
rick_h_well, N4 is all sold out, bring on the N513:54
brouschI ordered a Nexus 713:57
rick_h_cool, I almost got to sell mine13:58
rick_h_but then my wife saw it on the charger and thanked me for fixing it so that she could use it on her conference trip :/13:58
brouschhah13:59
brouschYou have a 10 don't you?13:59
rick_h_yea, so I gave her teh 7 to see how she liked it. She used it once and the batter was so dead I had to go and do a recovery on it to get it to boot14:00
rick_h_since she's not used it I figured I'd get rid of it while someone could still use it but now she wants it for her trip next month14:00
rick_h_so she'll use it 3 days in 6mo14:00
brouschIs it the original 7 or the HD 7?14:00
rick_h_original14:01
brouschI have found the 10s are just too big for me to use comfortably14:01
brousch1920x1200 on a 7" gives me a geek-on14:01
rick_h_<3 my 10, but I use it differently than I did the 714:02
rick_h_the 7 replaced most of my phone use, the 10 replaces some laptop use14:02
cmaloneyGood morning14:02
cmaloneyHaving quite the "welcome back"14:02
rick_h_yea?14:02
rick_h_welcome back to work?14:02
cmaloneyYeah. Someone changed the database.14:02
cmaloneybroke shit.14:03
rick_h_doh14:03
jrwrenwait... you can drain the batery on a nexus7 so low that you have to do a recovery on it????14:04
rick_h_jrwren: evidently14:05
rick_h_if it sits unplugged for 6mo it's not happy14:06
brouschI had a similar issue on my HP touchpad14:13
brouschIt drained, then wouldn't charge, so I let it sit for like 6 months and then it charged again14:13
rick_h_well after sitting on the charger overnight it would boot enough for me to trigger recovery mode. Then after running through that it would charge the rest of the way normally14:21
jrwrenthat is so funny. yet antoher reason I like iOS14:30
rick_h_to each their own :P14:32
brouschAt least you get something out of the over-priced proprietary chargers, eh?14:32
jrwrenare they over priced? I don't know. I've never seen a charger for sale for a samsung device.14:33
rick_h_that was funny at a sprint. Guy needed a phone charger and 6 of us whip out microusb cables and of course he's got an iphone and we all go "oh well..."14:33
jrwrenthat is funny.14:33
rick_h_now that I've got the other BT speaker everything I have uses the microusb so I pack 4 or 5 of them for travel14:34
rick_h_the old BT speaker was mini-usb, just had to be different :P14:35
jrwreni don't have any microusb devices, only miniusb devices.14:38
rick_h_really? ouch14:38
jrwreni should clarify that I don't use any of them anymore.14:38
rick_h_man, my pocket battery, phone, tablet, BT speaker, travel router, bt headphones, and bt keyboard are all micro14:39
brouschRPi14:39
brouschrick_h_: I got a travel battery for an RPi project, but now I have it with me all of the time14:41
rick_h_brousch: yea, I love mine. I run my travel router off it and don't need to plug it into the laptop. So handy when traveling, using gps a bunch14:41
brouschCan run the mk802+ from it too (with micro-mini adapter)14:46
jrwrenRPi is usbmini, not usbmicro IIRC14:50
jrwrenmk802 is usbmini14:50
jrwrenbeagleboneblack, I'm trying to remember... might be usbmini14:50
jrwrenI do actually use my RPi, but it just sits stationary, so I don't plug its power14:50
brouschhttp://www.raspberrypi.org/quick-start-guide14:52
jrwrendamn. i guess I do have and use a microusb device.14:52
rick_h_lol14:52
rick_h_it's ok, I can loan you a cable for it from my closet of 2014:53
jrwrensomeday, I might take you up on that.14:54
rick_h_O...M...G yay yay yay please please please https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2013-September/128723.html14:54
brouschUg, yeah, getting to virtualenv on Windows is too many steps: install python, download and run ez_Setup (setuptools), easy_install pip, pip install virtualenv14:57
rick_h_well virtualenv is in py3 so that's there, but pip is not. So you can't just create a virtualenv and start installing deps14:58
brouschThat is silly14:59
brouschDoesn't virtualenv include its own pip?14:59
brouschMaybe not in the bundled venv14:59
jrwrenvirtualenv is not venv15:00
rick_h_venv is stdlib version of virtualenv15:00
jrwrenright, very stripped, IMO to the point of being too different and not as useflu15:00
rick_h_yea, this would help that immensely15:03
rick_h_which is why it makes me happy to see it proposed and I hope it gets in15:03
jrwrenkind of weird. isn't easy_install default now?15:05
brouscheasy_install sucks because it doesn't have an uninstall15:06
rick_h_http://insights.ubuntu.com/news/press-releases/ubuntu-on-windows-azure-gets-the-juju-magic/ ugh that IE will never go away :P15:06
rick_h_jrwren: yea, but it's got such giant flaws/limitations that no one uses it in real life15:07
rick_h_at least not for dev/etc.15:07
mathomastechGetting ready to buy a domain name. Any suggestions on who to go with, or who to avoid?18:34
wafavoid godaddy18:35
greg-ggandi.net18:35
greg-ggo with18:35
wafi'm also a fan of iwantmyname.com18:36
wafi think both gandi and iwantmyname took a stand against SOPA18:36
rick_h_hover.com here18:37
mathomastechAwesome. Ill take a look at all 3.18:37
greg-ggandi also donates to Free Software projects heavily18:38
greg-g(free hosting etc)18:38
rick_h_ok, this is nuts https://github.com/blog/1633-3d-file-diffs18:38
brouschI use Dreamhost since I have hosting there18:39
jrwrenmathomastech: dnsimple is the only one18:43
jrwrenif you don't buy from dnsimple, then you hate18:43
jrwrendnsimple completed my feature request a few hrs after I requested it.18:43
greg-gI hate much18:44
greg-gsorry, muchly18:44
jrwrenSSHFP record editor had free form input for Algorith, i requested drop down. now its dropdown with choices of RSA1 and DSS2.18:45
jrwrendoes SSHFP not support ECDSA?18:45
jrwrenoh, it is, its record 3.18:45
jrwrenI should request that to be updated :)18:45
mathomastechOk, so next question.   mathomastech.me   or   mathomastech.com?  I was thinking .me18:51
mathomastechor .io18:51
mathomastechSo many hard decisions.18:51
rick_h_all of the above, own the brand18:51
brouschDo you want people to be able to pronounce it or remember it?18:53
mathomastechI suppose both. But remember is propably more important.18:54
greg-gI go with .net, since I'm not a business18:54
brouschHeh, I was implying that both names are too complicated if you want people to remember it or pronounce it18:55
brouschmath? o! mas tech!18:56
greg-gyah, my name sucks, too18:56
mathomastechHeh. Its not a site for a business. Just my personal, information site. So chances are people wouln't be going to it unless they were sent a link.18:57
wafmathomaste.ch19:00
wafdomain hacks, are cool.19:00
waf(to be read in the voice of The Doctor)19:00
jrwrensonic.screw.driv.er19:00
greg-gMy buddy Nathan Kinkade has the email address: nath@nkinka.de19:00
waf"mathomaste" sounds vaguely Indian, like "namaste"19:01
wafgreg-g: haha, nice19:01
mathomastechwaf: I like that. And its available.19:02
mathomastechThere we go. Domain purchased, github configured. Just need to wait for the url to become active.19:24
wafmathomastech: oh god what'd you do, github.com is down19:54
mathomastechHeh! Works for me, but that would be pretty awesome if linking my site crashed them.19:55
