shakes808Months end just happened, was it crazy? How are things at the job?04:05
cmaloneyMeh, the usual04:05
cmaloneyI don't get much involved with that. :)04:05
shakes808That must be nice to not have that extra stress.04:06
shakes808What is new in the land of CHC?04:06
shakes808I have been meaning to go to one, but work has been crazy04:06
cmaloneyI try to not volunteer myself for extra stress04:06
shakes808haha04:06
shakes808+104:06
cmaloneyWe've been meeting at the Starbucks down Woodward04:06
cmaloneyCaribou closed.04:07
shakes808Yeah, I saw somehting about that04:07
shakes808How is the new locale working?04:07
shakes808Do they have a room?04:07
cmaloneyThey're set to open on November 11th04:07
cmaloneyStarbucks? They're smaller and more crowded.04:07
shakes808Is there a library in that area that has a room? Something like the monthly open source meetings?04:08
shakes808I know at the Clinton Township library, they have some pretty large rooms. But that would be way out of your way.04:09
wafi think the Caribou will reopen as Peets next Monday, the 11th04:10
cmaloneyshakes808: We used to rent out the Clinton Macomb rooms when I lived there04:10
wafso we're really only homeless for this coming wednesday04:10
cmaloneyunfortunately I'm no longer a resident.04:10
waf(assuming we can meet at Peets)04:10
cmaloneyyeah04:15
shakes808convienent04:16
cmaloneyApparently they had a theft there. SOmeone stole their computer.04:16
cmaloneyGOod morning14:14
cmaloneyOh, and apparently someone stole the 18ft trailer that was there as well (Peet's)14:14
cmaloneyhttp://royaloak.patch.com/groups/police-and-fire/p/construction-trailer-stolen-at-peets-vandals-strike-cars-and-more14:16
brouschcmaloney: Welcome to Detroit!14:34
rick_h_cmaloney: ouch!14:35
cmaloneybrousch: That's just it: Royal Oak isn't Detroit.14:36
cmaloneyWe're above this sort of shit.14:36
cmaloneyAt this rate I'm wondering if Peet's will even open in this area or just pack up and go home. :)14:37
cmaloneyBut there are signs on the building, and they were making some good progress14:37
cmaloneyso that's a plus.14:37
brouschRoyal Oak falls within my definition of Detroit14:38
cmaloneyTime to redefine14:38
brouschSounds to me like my definition got some verification :P14:39
cmaloneySlippery slope, sir. Slippery slope.14:40
cmaloneyDon't make me bust out the Holland Michigan stereotypes. :)14:40
brouschEverything East of my beloved Ann Arbor, from the thumbpit to the state line14:40
cmaloneySeriously? Port Huron is Detroit?14:41
brouschI should probably set a northern limit north of Flint14:41
cmaloneyIt's closer to Canada than Detroit.14:41
cmaloneySo how is Lake Michigan this time of year? ;)14:42
cmaloneyGreat headline: "Election Day: Polls Open, City Clerk Predicts Turnout"14:42
brouschMaybe a better definition would be anything 20 miles from the windsor tunnel14:44
cmaloneybrousch: How about we stick to calling Royal Oak a suburb?14:45
brousch25 miles from the 94/96 intersection is pretty much exactly what I think of Detroit14:52
jrwrenroyal oak is what? 3-4miles from detroit border? of course its detroit related crime, there is little of value in detroit to take,so ya gotta leave detroit to take the value14:52
jrwrenbrousch: huh? the 94/96 interchange is pretty much downtown detroit.14:52
rick_h_ok, http://r.bmark.us/u/69b17e058207e2 is kind of cool15:41
brouschjrwren: Yeah, but that location compared to the Windsor Tunnel pushed the 25 mile radius to where I wanted it15:45
jrwrenbrousch: that makes good sense.15:57
cmaloneyWow, thats pretty expensive16:22
cmaloneyBut strangely enough I'd love to have one16:22
cmaloneyjust not sure $400+ is worth it.16:22
greg-gI dont' understand the appeal16:23
jrwrenits a toy.16:34
jrwrensome people love toys.16:34
cmaloneyYou could use it as an expensive security camera16:35
cmaloneyor for a robot that needs 360 view.16:35
jrwrenthe applications are endless!16:35
rick_h_greg-g: they've got a panda-cam in the DC zoo, now it could be 360, and closer to the panda's butt than ever before!16:36
greg-gbut no monitor can display 360* images, so you end up just looking at a stupidly stitched image or 4 separate and overlapping stills?16:36
cmaloneygreg-g: Remember Quicktime VR?16:36
cmaloneyYou could do something similar to that without a whole lot of pain16:36
greg-gyeah, it sucked ass16:36
cmaloneyBah, it was revolutionary16:37
greg-gand died16:37
cmaloneyyou could see inside the star trek TNG enterprise16:37
greg-gooohhhh boy!16:37
greg-g;)16:37
* greg-g stops being a troll16:37
rick_h_lol16:37
cmaloneyHey, you could see that the shuttle had a VT100 terminal in back16:37
rick_h_I think panda butts is a more compelling use case16:37
cmaloneyCould also be useful for telepresence.16:37
rick_h_do you see what I see? all 360 degrees of it!16:38
cmaloneyOr for a Paintball gun that nails the neighbor kids if they get too close to your lawn16:38
greg-gI don't see the telepresence benefit, honestly16:38
rick_h_greg-g: real estate!16:39
cmaloneygreg-g: Museum tours16:39
greg-gnow the anti-annoying neighbor use case, I'm on board16:39
rick_h_greg-g: you can walk around the whole house in 36016:39
cmaloneywith shitty music!16:39
greg-gYES16:39
rick_h_woooo16:39
rick_h_now we're making $$16:39
jrwrenyou guys suck.16:39
greg-gSHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!16:39
rick_h_stick that thing on a roomba with wifi control16:39
cmaloneyWe could use Raspberry Pi robots to make real estate videos16:39
cmaloneywith Brick Pi and Lego Mindstorms!16:40
jrwrenprototype or STFU16:40
greg-gI'd totally invest in a rPi powered 360 degree camera telepresence robot with cloud connectivity for the enteprise environment.16:40
greg-g(bingo?)16:41
cmaloneyAnd there you have it16:42
cmaloneyAnd remember: the adult industry is usually at the forefront of technology16:43
cmaloneythe possibilities are endless.16:43
cmaloney360 view of a bored camera crew.16:43
greg-gporn without the camera crew.... oh wait....16:44
cmaloneyTelepresence porno16:45
cmaloneythousands of robots trying to get a better look16:45
greg-gannnnnd on that note16:45
cmaloneyI'm an idea machine16:45
jrwrenwhen the first autonomous robot decides to interact in that "scene" we'll have something far worse than skynot on our hands.16:46
cmaloneyPUPPIES WITH A 360 DEGREE WIDE-ANGLE LENS!16:46
jrwrentehkitties16:46
greg-gef kitties, doggies are where its at16:47

cmaloneyhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hc4DNmq-y8M16:47
cmaloney;)16:47
brouschcmaloney: You could make money with the 360 degree puppycam16:48
brouschNeed to wrap it in Kong material though16:48
cmaloneyhttps://github.com/tony/tmuxp17:41
cmaloneyI don't get it.17:41
jrwrenwhen you stumble upon something and it makes you proud: https://github.com/libevent/libevent/blob/master/README#L21621:56
jrwrenwhen you remember they were tiny, trivial, patches... *shrug*21:56
cmaloneyjrwren: That's awesome. :)22:00
cmaloneyIt's moments like that which make me happy to be an OSS developer.22:00
jrwrenme too22:00
jrwreni was doing a diff and happened upon the +Jay R. Wren in the README :)22:01
jrwrenit made me happy22:01
greg-gheh, and I was just reading a discussion about how FB wrote their own event library and that they're using a forked version of libevent 1.x for their HipHopVM project22:01
jrwrenI should send 'em more patches22:01
greg-gindeed22:01
jrwrengreg-g: libevent gets a lot of abuse :(22:01
jrwrengevent isn't even using it anymore :(22:01
greg-git makes our life hard at WMF as we want to use hhvm, but the libevent shit is blocking easy packaging22:02
jrwrenah yeah, I can see how that would be difficult22:02
greg-gthey're at least having an open dialog with a debian developer about it22:02
jrwrendid they fork in incompatibly?22:02
greg-gyeah22:02
jrwrenhow bad?22:02
greg-genough?22:02
* greg-g is exactly sure22:03
jrwreni was dealing with a fork too, but libevent is really great C code, its probably easy to work around22:03
greg-gbut yeah, congrats :)22:03
jrwrenoh its been there for a year. i just happened upon it today:)22:03
greg-goh, h3eh22:03
greg-g-322:03
cmaloneyStill, congrats.22:03
cmaloneyJust because it's old doesn't mean it's not worthy.22:04
