[00:13] Bah, sorry to have missed him. [03:54] Good evening all [04:02] help [04:02] .. for got the slash sorry. [04:03] Hey shakes808 [04:03] How goes? [04:03] Goes well. [04:04] Can't complain too much haha [04:04] how about yourself? [04:04] Same ol' same ol'. [04:05] Months end just happened, was it crazy? How are things at the job? [04:05] Meh, the usual [04:05] I don't get much involved with that. :) [04:06] That must be nice to not have that extra stress. [04:06] What is new in the land of CHC? [04:06] I have been meaning to go to one, but work has been crazy [04:06] I try to not volunteer myself for extra stress [04:06] haha [04:06] +1 [04:06] We've been meeting at the Starbucks down Woodward [04:07] Caribou closed. [04:07] Yeah, I saw somehting about that [04:07] How is the new locale working? [04:07] Do they have a room? [04:07] They're set to open on November 11th [04:07] Starbucks? They're smaller and more crowded. [04:08] Is there a library in that area that has a room? Something like the monthly open source meetings? [04:09] I know at the Clinton Township library, they have some pretty large rooms. But that would be way out of your way. [04:10] i think the Caribou will reopen as Peets next Monday, the 11th [04:10] shakes808: We used to rent out the Clinton Macomb rooms when I lived there [04:10] so we're really only homeless for this coming wednesday [04:10] unfortunately I'm no longer a resident. [04:10] (assuming we can meet at Peets) [04:15] yeah [04:16] convienent [04:16] Apparently they had a theft there. SOmeone stole their computer. [14:14] GOod morning [14:14] Oh, and apparently someone stole the 18ft trailer that was there as well (Peet's) [14:16] http://royaloak.patch.com/groups/police-and-fire/p/construction-trailer-stolen-at-peets-vandals-strike-cars-and-more [14:34] cmaloney: Welcome to Detroit! [14:35] cmaloney: ouch! [14:36] brousch: That's just it: Royal Oak isn't Detroit. [14:36] We're above this sort of shit. [14:37] At this rate I'm wondering if Peet's will even open in this area or just pack up and go home. :) [14:37] But there are signs on the building, and they were making some good progress [14:37] so that's a plus. [14:38] Royal Oak falls within my definition of Detroit [14:38] Time to redefine [14:39] Sounds to me like my definition got some verification :P [14:40] Slippery slope, sir. Slippery slope. [14:40] Don't make me bust out the Holland Michigan stereotypes. :) [14:40] Everything East of my beloved Ann Arbor, from the thumbpit to the state line [14:41] Seriously? Port Huron is Detroit? [14:41] I should probably set a northern limit north of Flint [14:41] It's closer to Canada than Detroit. [14:42] So how is Lake Michigan this time of year? ;) [14:42] Great headline: "Election Day: Polls Open, City Clerk Predicts Turnout" [14:44] Maybe a better definition would be anything 20 miles from the windsor tunnel [14:45] brousch: How about we stick to calling Royal Oak a suburb? [14:52] 25 miles from the 94/96 intersection is pretty much exactly what I think of Detroit [14:52] royal 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 value [14:52] brousch: huh? the 94/96 interchange is pretty much downtown detroit. [15:41] ok, http://r.bmark.us/u/69b17e058207e2 is kind of cool [15:45] jrwren: Yeah, but that location compared to the Windsor Tunnel pushed the 25 mile radius to where I wanted it [15:57] brousch: that makes good sense. [16:22] Wow, thats pretty expensive [16:22] But strangely enough I'd love to have one [16:22] just not sure $400+ is worth it. [16:23] I dont' understand the appeal [16:34] its a toy. [16:34] some people love toys. [16:35] You could use it as an expensive security camera [16:35] or for a robot that needs 360 view. [16:35] the applications are endless! [16:36] 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] but 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] greg-g: Remember Quicktime VR? [16:36] You could do something similar to that without a whole lot of pain [16:36] yeah, it sucked ass [16:37] Bah, it was revolutionary [16:37] and died [16:37] you could see inside the star trek TNG enterprise [16:37] ooohhhh boy! [16:37] ;) [16:37] * greg-g stops being a troll [16:37] lol [16:37] Hey, you could see that the shuttle had a VT100 terminal in back [16:37] I think panda butts is a more compelling use case [16:37] Could also be useful for telepresence. [16:38] do you see what I see? all 360 degrees of it! [16:38] Or for a Paintball gun that nails the neighbor kids if they get too close to your lawn [16:38] I don't see the telepresence benefit, honestly [16:39] greg-g: real estate! [16:39] greg-g: Museum tours [16:39] now the anti-annoying neighbor use case, I'm on board [16:39] greg-g: you can walk around the whole house in 360 [16:39] with shitty music! [16:39] YES [16:39] woooo [16:39] now we're making $$ [16:39] you guys suck. [16:39] SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY! [16:39] stick that thing on a roomba with wifi control [16:39] We could use Raspberry Pi robots to make real estate videos [16:40] with Brick Pi and Lego Mindstorms! [16:40] prototype or STFU [16:40] I'd totally invest in a rPi powered 360 degree camera telepresence robot with cloud connectivity for the enteprise environment. [16:41] (bingo?) [16:42] And there you have it [16:43] And remember: the adult industry is usually at the forefront of technology [16:43] the possibilities are endless. [16:43] 360 view of a bored camera crew. [16:44] porn without the camera crew.... oh wait.... [16:45] Telepresence porno [16:45] thousands of robots trying to get a better look [16:45] annnnnd on that note [16:45] I'm an idea machine [16:46] when the first autonomous robot decides to interact in that "scene" we'll have something far worse than skynot on our hands. [16:46] PUPPIES WITH A 360 DEGREE WIDE-ANGLE LENS! [16:46] tehkitties [16:47] ef kitties, doggies are where its at [16:47] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=argCvDpk_KQ [16:47] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hc4DNmq-y8M [16:47] ;) [16:48] cmaloney: You could make money with the 360 degree puppycam [16:48] Need to wrap it in Kong material though [17:41] https://github.com/tony/tmuxp [17:41] I don't get it. [21:56] when you stumble upon something and it makes you proud: https://github.com/libevent/libevent/blob/master/README#L216 [21:56] when you remember they were tiny, trivial, patches... *shrug* [22:00] jrwren: That's awesome. :) [22:00] It's moments like that which make me happy to be an OSS developer. [22:00] me too [22:01] i was doing a diff and happened upon the +Jay R. Wren in the README :) [22:01] it made me happy [22:01] heh, 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 project [22:01] I should send 'em more patches [22:01] indeed [22:01] greg-g: libevent gets a lot of abuse :( [22:01] gevent isn't even using it anymore :( [22:02] it makes our life hard at WMF as we want to use hhvm, but the libevent shit is blocking easy packaging [22:02] ah yeah, I can see how that would be difficult [22:02] they're at least having an open dialog with a debian developer about it [22:02] did they fork in incompatibly? [22:02] yeah [22:02] how bad? [22:02] enough? [22:03] * greg-g is exactly sure [22:03] i was dealing with a fork too, but libevent is really great C code, its probably easy to work around [22:03] but yeah, congrats :) [22:03] oh its been there for a year. i just happened upon it today:) [22:03] oh, h3eh [22:03] -3 [22:03] Still, congrats. [22:04] Just because it's old doesn't mean it's not worthy.
