[00:10] <rick_h_> derekv: can't you just create a blank graphic in inkscape and use the font to print the character you want?
[00:22] <rick_h_> derekv: so I created this by downloading the fontawesome font and creating a 16x16 document. Then used the text tool + the ctrl-u shortcut to enter the unicode for the tags. <ctrl>u f02c<enter> and sized it to fit. 15pt font.
[00:22] <rick_h_> derekv: http://uploads.mitechie.com/fontawesome-tags.png
[00:22] <rick_h_> derekv: not sure what sized you need things, but you can start out with a larger document and shrink down as needed
[00:23] <rick_h_> http://inkscape.org/doc/tips/tutorial-tips.html for the unicode entering tip
[00:23] <rick_h_> and http://fontawesome.io/cheatsheet/ for figuring out what the unicode character is
[01:09] <jrwren> i realized I've gotten good at python today. :)
[01:10] <rick_h_> jrwren: woot
[01:10] <jrwren> someone in #python asking about all sort of language features, so I mocked 'em all up and posted 'em on gist all quick
[01:11] <jrwren> all of my answers were "I think..."
[01:11] <jrwren> and I nailed 'em all once I tried each one.
[01:23] <derekv> cool yea I see how it can be done, i was just realizing i have no image tools installed on this machine
[01:26] <rick_h_> derekv: cool, happy to help if you need. Let me know what size/color/etc
[01:51] <derekv> trying with imagemagick
[02:35] <derekv> imagemagick not working so far
[02:35] <derekv> i have to get ghostscript to know about fontawesome
[02:41] <derekv> whats like, the advantage of cramming the icons in a font anyway?
[02:45] <rick_h_> derekv: the advantage is that you get one download, can resize at will, and change colors, weight (bold) all via css
[02:46] <rick_h_> you could sprite them to get one download, but then you can't resize/color without rebuilding the images and the sprite
[02:46] <rick_h_> notice howw the eyeball icon for readable is red to fit in vs black
[02:59] <cmaloney> So glad that most of the clocks in this house are set to get their time either by radio or online.
[03:32] <jrwren> i reset 3 so far
[03:32] <jrwren> can think of only 1 more togo
[13:08] <cmaloney> Happy DST gone day
[13:40] <rick_h_> woot, reset the boy's clock last night and he waited until 7am to get up
[14:14] <cmaloney> Heh
[14:14] <cmaloney> JoDee's all about reclaiming that lost hour
[14:14] <cmaloney> Might get a fitness gadget out of the deal.
[14:14] <cmaloney> Reading through "The Healthy Programmer" and installed a Pedometer on my phone
[14:15] <cmaloney> rick_h_: How's the fit-bit experiment?
[14:31] <jrwren> what lost hour? the one from 8 months ago?
[14:31] <cmaloney> Yep.
[14:32] <rick_h_> cmaloney: meh
[14:32] <rick_h_> cmaloney: not used it much lately.
[14:33] <cmaloney> Is the psiring off?
[14:33] <cmaloney> Pairing, even
[14:33] <rick_h_> pairing off?
[14:34] <cmaloney> Between your phone and the fit bit
[14:34] <rick_h_> it won't sync with my phone.
[14:34] <rick_h_> it's a limited set of devices. The faq says they don't place nice with moto's bluetooth stack
[14:36] <cmaloney> Ah, lovely.
[14:36] <cmaloney> Well that's a bummer.
[14:37] <cmaloney> OK. BBL.
[16:53] <cmaloney> Yay grocery shopping done before non
[17:11] <brousch> I have to go before 9AM to avoid the churchers
[17:16] <cmaloney> So JoDee had a coupon at Meijer for a pedometer, and now I have a Sync on my wrist.
[17:16] <brousch> pedophilometer?
[17:16] <cmaloney> Funny enough, it has no Bluetooth or Wireless so the actual Sync-ing is going to be manual
[17:16] <cmaloney> brousch: There was an app I was running on my phone called Accupedo
[17:17] <cmaloney> I felt dirty installing it
[17:20] <brousch> Might be an app in there with published lists of sex offender addresses. "How close are you to a pedophile right now?"
[17:21] <cmaloney> heh
[17:31] <brousch> pedophilometer - meters to the nearest pedophile
[17:32] <cmaloney> sicko
[17:33] <brousch> paranoid parents would pay for it
[17:36] <brousch> An excuse to play with geodango
[18:06] <jrwren> would be a pretty easy app to write
[18:49] <cmaloney> Yeah, I think it would be a pretty easy app
[21:51] <greg-g> hey, that thing I wanted to do when I was at my computer....
[21:51] <greg-g> yeah, forgot it
[21:52] <greg-g> if I didn't have a problem with the sec offender list ("public urination" shouldn't put you on the list), that's an app I would crowdfund ;)
[21:52] <greg-g> sex*
[21:57] <brousch> greg-g: I have the same misgivings
[21:58] <jrwren> me too.
[21:58] <jrwren> poor guys.
[21:59] <greg-g> (or right, beard wax...)
[22:24] <greg-g> cmaloney: you're a qausi-audiophile (from what I've gathered): do you know if a thing that can read/play DVDs that are burned with .flac files exists? (Other than an actual computer, of course)
[22:24] <greg-g> maybe that isn't really even practical....
[22:26] <brousch> Sounds weird. More things support USB flash drives now
[22:26] <greg-g> oh?
[22:26] <greg-g> that's neat
[22:27] <brousch> flac might be a problem though.
[22:27] <greg-g> brousch: can you link to one? I'm looking around amazon as a sort of "what exists" exercise
[22:27] <brousch> So like a boom box that supports usb?
[22:27] <brousch> Or something smaller?
[22:27] <greg-g> well, preferably not a boom box, more a component system type thing
[22:28] <greg-g> receiver that has usb, I guess....
[22:28]  * greg-g searches
[22:32] <greg-g> The TX-SR313's front-panel USB port lets you play MP3 and AAC stored in an iPod/iPhone, and MP3, WMA, AAC, and FLAC audio files stored on a flash-memory device, using the system's own remote for track selection and playback.
[22:32] <greg-g> http://www.amazon.com/Onkyo-TX-SR313-5-1-Channel-Theater-Receiver/dp/B0077V8930/ref=sr_1_15
[22:32] <greg-g> neat!
[22:32] <greg-g> "ONKYO's Proprietary WRAT Technology" :( :(
[22:33]  * greg-g also has vorbis only albums.....
[22:37] <jrwren> no flac?
[22:37] <greg-g> "Playback of Audio Files Through Local Network and USB (MP3, WMA, WMA Lossless, FLAC, WAV, Ogg Vorbis, AAC, LPCM, Apple Lossless, DSD)" -- eg http://www.onkyousa.com/Products/model.php?m=CS-N755&class=Audiosys&source=prodClass
[22:37] <jrwren> how many? anything I'd like? I'll get ya mp3 v0 of them.
[22:37] <jrwren> mp3 patents start expiring soon :)
[22:37] <greg-g> jrwren: I have a mix of mp3, ogg, and flac
[22:43] <brousch> There's probaly an rpi project that would work
[22:48] <greg-g> bah
[22:48] <greg-g> I'm done with diy
[22:48] <greg-g> :)
[22:51] <greg-g> alright, enough for today: the type of thing I want exists, now just to find the right one for the right price
[22:53] <jrwren> pretty sure xbmc plays ogg
[22:54] <jrwren> don't be done with ALL diy... please please please.   just pick and choose your diy
[22:58] <brousch> diy or diaf!
[23:37] <jrwren> *gasp*
