greg-gburlingame? wow04:18
greg-godd choice04:18
rick_h_yea, kind of sucky one. Works out with the strike, close enough to not need BART04:18
rick_h_but man there's one strip you can get to walking04:18
rick_h_with 5 or 6 places to eat, and 10 nail salons04:18
greg-g:) yeah, no BART sucks04:18
greg-ghaha04:18
rick_h_going to head over to the olark bbq tomorrow04:19
rick_h_looks like I can caltrain it up there04:20
rick_h_I'm not sure I could get used to an hour to go 15mi04:20
greg-gwhoa, an hour? that sounds wrong04:23
greg-gno express trains?04:24
greg-gbut still, it was only an hour-20 from MTV to SF04:24
greg-gon the 'local' train04:24
rick_h_well going off google maps I'm getting realy odd directions04:25

greg-gwhat time of day?04:26
rick_h_well doing directions right now, around 6pm tomorrow04:26
greg-gthat will change things a long04:26
rick_h_ah, /me found the 'change times' thing04:27
rick_h_hmm, are the busses going? I thought someone said they would not be04:27
greg-ghaha, that bus taking you from your hotel to the train station does a stupid little loop there at the end04:27
greg-gnah, busses are fine, they're going04:27
greg-gjust the BART04:27
rick_h_ah ok, well someone said something about some buses being part of "bay area transit"04:28
rick_h_but yea, if I can figure out how to do it, looks like an hour-ish to go 15mi to olark tomorrow night04:28
rick_h_gotta <3 it heh04:28
greg-gweird04:28
greg-gonly a 20 minute train ride, at least04:29
rick_h_ah, yea. It's all about getting to the train.04:29
rick_h_wonder why I can't get on at the broadway caltrain station on the map04:30
greg-gtrains must not stop there during rush hour ish04:32
rick_h_more burlingame suck-i-tude04:32
greg-g:)04:33
greg-gthere's a good brazilian bbq place down there we went to once04:33
greg-g$30 all you can eat, dang good meat04:34
rick_h_hah, cool04:34
rick_h_actually, now that I look at the olark invite it's 4pm-7pm and with that hour I can't possibly get there until 7pm04:35
rick_h_bah, stupid work sprint. I want to travel and see stuff lol04:36
greg-g:)04:37
cmaloneyMorning11:48
brouschrick_h_: Oh master of good syntax, which looks better to you? https://github.com/Kovak/buildozer/commit/7808c3b3cb4a99286c110f494a2f016d3cb78d8812:50
cmaloneybrousch: Ugh13:23
cmaloneyBTW: Since rick_h_ is off in the land of SFOz, that means CHC will need to go on without him13:25
cmaloneyDo we still want to meet at the Starbucks on Woodward, or somewhere else?13:27
cmaloneyI'm OK with sticking around there, as it does appear to have some benefits13:31
cmaloneynot the least of which is that it's on Woodward. :)13:31
rick_h_party13:47
rick_h_brousch: line 404 has to go above because it's got a hidden 'else' at the end of it13:48
rick_h_that's non-obvious and should be moved out to a block of logic so that it's more clear.13:48
brouschI don't like inline ifs13:50
rick_h_brousch: they're not bad if the line doesn't wrap13:50
rick_h_but with the wrap, dense content here already, it's a recipe for a 'duh wtf' moment13:50
brouschYeah,. very short ones13:50
rick_h_but things like name = request.get('name') else 'Anon'13:50
rick_h_are perfectly cool imo13:51
brouschHe is replacing my longer version in the red with the inline version in green13:51
brouschAnyways, what are you doing in San Fran?13:56
rick_h_work sprint13:56
cmaloneyI thought you were on Verizon? :)14:50
rick_h_cmaloney: :P14:50
rick_h_yep, sure am and getting lovely 4g coverage all night long!14:50
cmaloneyheh14:50
brouschcmaloney: Ting is saving me about $120/mo (excluding phone purchase price), but the coverage is really poor14:58
cmaloneyYeah, I'm finding the coverage can be a bit wanting, especially inside certain buildings14:59
cmaloneybut overall I'm pretty pleased.14:59
cmaloneyI just wish Sprint would get their shit together in this area.14:59
brouschAnd here14:59
cmaloneyYou have 4G coverage. You're good. ;)14:59
cmaloneyWe don't even have that.15:00
brouschI have squat15:01
brouschMaybe if I go to the heart of downtown GR when it's not busy15:01
widoxcmaloney: I thought the Starbucks was decent enough - other then going downtown RO I'm not sure of other options15:01
cmaloneywidox: Yeah. The only other option that springs to mind is the Barnes and Noble on JOhn R.15:02
cmaloneyThe Biggby on John R is just too small15:02
cmaloneywiki - Hawaiian word for information graveyard.15:52
greg-ghey!15:52
greg-g(it's true)15:52
greg-gexcept in one notable exception15:52
rick_h_lol15:52
cmaloneyI love Wikipedia. That's because it has a lot of caretakers15:53
cmaloneyIf our internal wiki had 1/10th of the care that any topic related to Star Wars has we'd be golden.15:53
greg-gtotally, that's the thing, you need wiki gnomes15:53
greg-gwiki gardeners15:53
cmaloneyI'm convinced that there are more characters dedicated to fictional universes than our own. ;)15:54
cmaloneyBut that's another topic for another time15:54
greg-gwrite what you know15:55
cmaloneyTrue dat.15:55
rick_h_I prefer gnomes to gardeners15:56
rick_h_less chance of them hitting on my wife :P15:57
brouschrick_h_: You don't know many gnomes, do you15:57
cmaloneyYou might want to re-think that15:57

brouschThat's gonna look good on your company's Internet log16:00
cmaloneyAdn that's why I ssh tunnel. ;)16:00
cmaloneyMore for their sanity. ;)16:14
cmaloneyAh, it must be Apple release time17:15
cmaloneyInternet has gone to crap.17:15

cmaloneyAh, OS X update17:36
brouschThey are taking Ubuntu names now?17:36
greg-galright, seriously gnome, I'm going to leave you if you keep making dumb choices18:03
greg-g1) removing alt-click dragging of windows (have to open dconf to set it back from super-click)18:03
greg-g2) putting a stupid headphones icon next to the volume level icon? why?18:04
brouschIt's Gnome's way or the highway18:04
greg-gprobably more, but I'mma just going to stop here18:04
brouschKDE welcomes you18:05

cmaloneyI haven't played with straight GNOME in years18:18
cmaloneybut from the sound of it I'm not going to be happy18:18
greg-gI don't understand how this is possible: http://paste.mitechie.com/show/1050/21:38
greg-grick_h_: ^^ ?21:38
rick_h_greg-g: looking, having issues loading atm21:39
greg-gbasically, "sudo pip install something && something" gets me ImportError: No module names something21:40
