| derev | rick_h_: this library is nice and should make the code inside the android client simpler | 00:27 |
| derev | the retrofit library | 00:27 |
| derev | my nick has a typo | 00:27 |
| derev | thats meta | 00:27 |
| === derev is now known as derekv | ||
| rick_h_ | hah | 00:32 |
| gamerchick02 | hi rick_h_ | 00:32 |
| rick_h_ | derekv: so you saw the field typo then? | 00:32 |
| * rick_h_ has been in/out so not sure if you saw it or not. If so, ignore me | 00:32 | |
| rick_h_ | howdy gamerchick02 | 00:32 |
| gamerchick02 | how's it going? i'm glad the room picks up after 8. | 00:34 |
| gamerchick02 | i feel bad if i don't check in | 00:34 |
| rick_h_ | all good, relaxing time here. Really not spent much time behind a computer so far | 00:34 |
| gamerchick02 | (because i miss everyone) | 00:34 |
| rick_h_ | so trying to get some idea of news/twitter in an hour hit | 00:34 |
| gamerchick02 | all day in front of codep (which behaved itself today, i'm surprised) | 00:34 |
| gamerchick02 | yay for nothing on TV i guess? | 00:38 |
| derekv | rick_h_: yea I saw it | 00:41 |
| derekv | interesting that there's no error but i suppose it just becomes null | 00:42 |
| gamerchick02 | book time. see everyone tomorrow. :) | 00:47 |
| rick_h_ | derekv: cool | 00:50 |
| rick_h_ | derekv: yea, I want to keep going on the cli sometime and try to get a python api library going. I think it'll be cool to have full on libraries and see about expanding the usefullness of things. | 00:51 |
| rick_h_ | I like the idea of stealing the 'notes' idea from pinboard. A couple of times I've wanted to write up some note and keep it in bookie, indexed, with tags | 00:51 |
| rick_h_ | could almost see doing something like a new todo system for cmaloney with tags/notes :P | 00:51 |
| derekv | i have this idea in the back of my mind about wiring up agents that watch my bookmarks on various services and copy stuff around | 00:52 |
| derekv | like if i favorite something on pocket, it should make sure i have a bookmark in mozilla, chrome, bookie... and set a tag or somesuch | 00:53 |
| rick_h_ | derekv: yea, delicious and pinboard will watch a twitter account for urls and auto bookmark. Thought about that. | 00:54 |
| rick_h_ | oh well, hours in a day and all that. I'm out all. Hopefully check in from MD tomorrow night. | 00:55 |
| cmaloney | Howdy | 01:13 |
| derekv | http://fabiensanglard.net/rayTracing_back_of_business_card/index.php | 01:38 |
| derekv | https://kerbalspaceprogram.com/kspstore/index.php?p=22 | 03:42 |
| derekv | supports debian | 03:42 |
| derekv | (based distros) | 03:43 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, JODee was playing it | 03:45 |
| cmaloney | it's pretty involved | 03:45 |
| derekv | i don't have time for it. | 03:46 |
| cmaloney | Try the demo at least | 03:47 |
| derekv | just think if i did have time for it, it'd easily use up weekends if not weeks | 03:47 |
| cmaloney | It's pretty full featured | 03:47 |
| derekv | it already made me stay up too late | 03:48 |
| derekv | looking at videos | 03:48 |
| derekv | gn___ | 03:48 |
| brousch | Um, what? "You'll learn to program in a language that' s used in millions of smartphones, tablets, and PCs. You'll code along with the book, writing programs to solve real-world problems as you learn the fundamentals of programming using Python 3. " | 12:46 |
| waf | 0 smartphones + 0 tablets + 1million PCs | 13:00 |
| waf | roughly speaking | 13:00 |
| cmaloney | Good morning | 13:02 |
| cmaloney | Now now, I downloaded brousch's "Say Anything" program on my phone | 13:03 |
| cmaloney | that means there's Python on at least two phones. :) | 13:03 |
| brousch | hah | 13:03 |
| cmaloney | Three if I convince JoDee to download it on her phone | 13:03 |
| brousch | I need to get my Clever Drip Timer up there | 13:04 |
| waf | haha, i gave myself some wiggle room via "roughly speaking" because I know brousch is all about kivy/android/python :) | 13:04 |
| cmaloney | Also Galco n started life as a Pygame project, so I'm not sure if the Android / iPhone versions are still Python based | 13:05 |
| cmaloney | s/so/but/ | 13:05 |
| cmaloney | SO, the answer is somewhere between 2 and millions. :) | 13:06 |
| cmaloney | Neither of which I think is entirely accurate | 13:06 |
| brousch | Misleading | 13:08 |
| brousch | Also, it specifically says PYthon3 | 13:08 |
| brousch | So my apps don't even count | 13:08 |
| cmaloney | Huh? That's a huge stretch then | 13:09 |
| brousch | I reported it to O'Reilly problems | 13:11 |
| cmaloney | Thank you, Citizen | 13:12 |
| brousch | I almost fainted yesterday. We were evaluating a replacement for a big part of our business software (estimating, purchasing, stock, shipping) and they said they support Linux servers and OpenOffice/LibreOffice | 13:14 |
| cmaloney | Really? | 13:57 |
| cmaloney | That's cool | 13:57 |
| cmaloney | https://github.com/tybenz/vimdeck | 13:59 |
| brousch | Ah, so turns out they only support linux server for part of the server, and no openoffice | 14:02 |
| brousch | Salesman actually talked to technicians | 14:03 |
| brousch | And "support" is not the best term since they've never done it on a Linux server, but theoretically it is possible | 14:04 |
| brousch | Quite frankly the fact that the techs are even willing to think about it is more than I usually get | 14:06 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, I think the Linux stuff is getting some more play | 14:07 |
| cmaloney | Lilely because it costs less on EC2 to run a Linux instance | 14:08 |
| cmaloney | vs. a Windows instance | 14:08 |
| brousch | The companies producing this software should really be thinking about moving to SaaS | 14:08 |
| cmaloney | (not that I have any hard data either way) | 14:08 |
| cmaloney | brousch: They likely are. | 14:08 |
| brousch | Often businesses comprable to where I work have no full-time IT guy, so they are caring for their own critical servers | 14:09 |
| cmaloney | I'd be surprised if companies aren't seriously considering SaaS | 14:09 |
| brousch | Most of the ones I talk to are Windows-locked | 14:09 |
| brousch | And Office-locked | 14:10 |
| cmaloney | and honestly Microsoft did the Linux community the best service by releasing Windows 8. | 14:11 |
| cmaloney | It was just different enough to make people change-resistant | 14:11 |
| brousch | I'm going to end up with a Windows server here in the next year | 14:11 |
| cmaloney | brousch: That sucks | 14:11 |
| brousch | Our current software needs a Windows server for the next version, and all the others I talk to do also | 14:11 |
| cmaloney | Why? | 14:12 |
| cmaloney | Active Directory? | 14:12 |
| brousch | dotnet | 14:12 |
| brousch | SQL Server | 14:12 |
| cmaloney | Wouldn't Mono handle the dotnet piece? | 14:12 |
| brousch | You can point and click your way across programming! | 14:12 |
| cmaloney | Also what were they using before? | 14:12 |
| brousch | Foxpro | 14:12 |
| brousch | DB files shared over samba | 14:13 |
| brousch | So they're moving to "real" database | 14:13 |
| cmaloney | Ah, OK | 14:15 |
| cmaloney | Well, can't fault them for that, though I question their technology direction | 14:15 |
| cmaloney | but whatever | 14:15 |
| brousch | exactly | 14:39 |
| waf | oh hey, it's CHC early edition tonight | 21:46 |
| rick_h_ | waf: oh, cool. Sorry, just got to campgroud at MD so been afk today | 22:20 |
| waf | i'm not blaming you :) | 22:21 |
| brousch | So o'reilly is claiming the crippled Python script creator on iOS is what they referred to as running Python 3 on smartphones and tablets https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonEditors#Mobile_Device_Editors | 22:35 |
| jcastro | cmaloney: ping | 22:49 |
| cmaloney | jcastro: Pong | 23:45 |
| jrwren | i hate python on ios, its terrible. | 23:46 |
| jrwren | would be nice to get a good version of it. | 23:46 |
| rick_h_ | evening | 23:54 |
