| greg-g | I know why Opsen tend to be drunkards now | 00:27 |
| greg-g | I was looking around for a beer around 12:30 today | 00:27 |
| rick_h_ | lol | 00:34 |
| gamerchick02 | nice. | 00:55 |
| gamerchick02 | rick_h_ thanks for the nice comment on my keyboard post. :) | 01:17 |
| rick_h_ | gamerchick02: hey, if anyone can appreciate someone appreciating good hardware | 01:18 |
| gamerchick02 | :) | 01:18 |
| gamerchick02 | have you tried a Max Keyboard? | 01:18 |
| gamerchick02 | and i really really like the Browns. | 01:18 |
| rick_h_ | nope, but I've tried many | 01:18 |
| rick_h_ | that's cool, many people do love the brows | 01:19 |
| rick_h_ | browns | 01:19 |
| gamerchick02 | i *might* get a Ducky for work but i fear it being stolen. :( | 01:19 |
| rick_h_ | ah, that's not fun | 01:19 |
| gamerchick02 | true | 01:19 |
| gamerchick02 | what do you recommend for a close office situation? | 01:19 |
| gamerchick02 | browns with o-rings on them? | 01:19 |
| rick_h_ | I'm not a good person to ask. I've not had to worry about that | 01:19 |
| gamerchick02 | ah | 01:20 |
| rick_h_ | so I just used browns and made people suffer | 01:20 |
| rick_h_ | that was after I use buckling springs for a while | 01:20 |
| gamerchick02 | i usually don't but there are 3 people sitting in my cube and right over the wall is my boss | 01:20 |
| rick_h_ | and someone finally commented on it | 01:20 |
| gamerchick02 | hah | 01:20 |
| rick_h_ | but I've been home-only for a while so I don't even hear it any more | 01:20 |
| gamerchick02 | ah | 01:20 |
| gamerchick02 | well i love the browns. i like the initial actuation of the blue but without the CLACK you get when you bottom | 01:21 |
| gamerchick02 | it's more like a bump | 01:21 |
| gamerchick02 | click-bump instead of click-CLACK | 01:21 |
| rick_h_ | yea, I'm a big fan of loud. Though I've been on the kenisis for a while which is more quiet | 01:21 |
| gamerchick02 | but dang if my HP board at work doesn't feel like typing on a mashed potato | 01:21 |
| rick_h_ | yea, once you get a good keyboard you start to get picky about laptops, etc | 01:22 |
| gamerchick02 | i am a fan of loud too but i wanted smaller and less… gaudy | 01:22 |
| rick_h_ | I'd find myself getting double letters and such using junk keyboards | 01:22 |
| gamerchick02 | Razer is gaudy | 01:22 |
| rick_h_ | yea, I'm with you. Mine are all plain | 01:22 |
| gamerchick02 | I mistype all the time on the one at work | 01:22 |
| gamerchick02 | i will say… and i might get smacked for it… but the macbook air keyboard is nice. | 01:23 |
| gamerchick02 | good spacing, good actuation, and they feel nice. | 01:23 |
| rick_h_ | yea, best laptops keyboards are thinkpad (though it might be past tense :/) and apples I think | 01:23 |
| gamerchick02 | *nods* | 01:23 |
| gamerchick02 | i made a good choice on this laptop. i don't think i'll go anything else right now | 01:24 |
| gamerchick02 | for mobile laptop computing. it's no hassle. and i want no hassle for a laptop. i'l muck with the desktop but i want no effort for a laptop | 01:24 |
| gamerchick02 | :) | 01:24 |
| gamerchick02 | i'm getting old. don't mind me | 01:24 |
| smoser | hm... | 01:48 |
| smoser | not that i'm writing my talk for tomorrow's mug right now or anything | 01:48 |
| waf | shame on you. i'm definitely not doing the same thing right now. | 01:49 |
| smoser | but anyone have notes on the tool that widox (i think) used for creating slides. from (i think) latex | 01:50 |
| smoser | hm.. or maybe not widox,. maybe waf. | 01:50 |
| waf | yeah, that was me. one sec | 01:50 |
| waf | https://github.com/waf/latex-presentation | 01:50 |
| gamerchick02 | i would like to attend MUG sometime but it's on the same night as my Nile meeting. | 01:50 |
| waf | written in beamer | 01:50 |
| gamerchick02 | and i can't be in two places at the same time. | 01:51 |
| smoser | waf, other than being so "backslashy", https://github.com/waf/latex-presentation/blob/master/presentation.tex is really nice. | 01:53 |
| smoser | where do the src/*.tex files come from ? | 01:53 |
| waf | smoser: it comes from the pygments tool, 'pygmentize'. one of the output formats is latex | 01:54 |
| waf | http://pygments.org/docs/formatters/#LatexFormatter | 01:55 |
| waf | for the "src/*.tex" files, the file "foo.tex" is handwritten, and the file "foo_syntax.tex" is the result of running "foo.tex" through pygmentize with the LaTeX formatter | 01:56 |
| smoser | ok. thanks. | 01:57 |
| rick_h_ | smoser: you've got it set. You can just use the blog series that stephan has been doing | 02:01 |
| rick_h_ | smoser: I loved the chrome from lxc one today | 02:01 |
| cmaloney | Good evening | 02:43 |
| wolfger | Good morning | 10:40 |
| wolfger | What, too early? | 10:41 |
| rick_h_ | morning | 10:47 |
| rick_h_ | heh, I'm still adjusting time zones | 10:47 |
| rick_h_ | up at 5 | 10:47 |
| rick_h_ | but yea, most people still not around | 10:47 |
| cmaloney | Good morning | 13:12 |
| rick_h_ | party | 13:15 |
| wolfger | party hardy | 15:27 |

| greg-g | "Bitcoin is boring because it's just dudes hoarding making false scarcity. Not a useful currency. It's beanie babies." | 16:30 |
| wolfger | Hah! | 16:31 |
| brousch | rick_h_: Do you have a rick_h_-approved roof rake? | 16:58 |
| jrwren | i like that analysis of bitcoin | 16:59 |
| greg-g | rick_h_ should work for Consumer Reports, have a column: "Rick Approved" | 16:59 |
| brousch | greg-g: That's a good retirement plan | 16:59 |
| greg-g | :) | 16:59 |
| brousch | Why is there no roof roomba? | 17:02 |
| greg-g | jrwren: yeah, a buddy who has a protected twitter account tweeted it, I couldn't retweet (easily) so I copy/pasted here :) | 17:05 |
| jrwren | wtf is the point of a private twitter acct? | 17:05 |
| cmaloney | nfc | 17:16 |
| greg-g | people like sharing with smaller groups, it's kind of normal sometimes :) | 17:22 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, but I wonder if people expect it to be between their mouth to God's ears and nobody in-between | 17:24 |
| cmaloney | greg-g: I love the beanie-babies analogy. | 17:24 |
| wolfger | jrwren: "wtf is the point of a twitter acct?" <- I fixed that for you. :-) | 18:01 |
| jrwren | oh wolfger | 18:01 |
| jrwren | the point is the same as being on an IRC channel. | 18:01 |
| wolfger | I used to be an avid user, then I stopped, then I went back to Twitter and was like "what purpose did this ever serve?" | 18:01 |
| wolfger | IRC is good for conversing. Twitter pretty much sucks at it. (I was once upon a time going to write a Twitter client that simulated IRC, with hashtags being separate channels) | 18:03 |
| cmaloney | Twitter is terrible for conversations. | 18:11 |
| rick_h_ | it's good for quick one/two | 18:11 |
| rick_h_ | "here's a pic of my X" "oh, how do you like the X" | 18:12 |
| * greg-g nods | 18:12 | |
| cmaloney | "@bonehead212: And that's precisely why I don't tell the pharmacy joke" | 18:12 |
| === ReFixed is now known as ColonelPanic001 | ||
| jrwren | wolfger: you are following the wrong peeps then :p | 18:27 |
| cmaloney | jrwren: I used to think Twitter's problems were ones of curation | 18:30 |
| cmaloney | but honestly the more I use G+ and pump.io I'm thinking the 140 character is great for broadcasting ideas but terrible for conversation. | 18:31 |
| cmaloney | and it's especially easy for folks to talk past one-another and generate noise. | 18:32 |
| jrwren | i just unfollow those people; | 18:33 |
| jrwren | honestly, I agree with you, but by unfollowing the folks who don't understand the comm medium, I get more value | 18:33 |
| cmaloney | maybe that's the best approach | 18:34 |
| wolfger | Twitter is like IRC if I only saw the things that 15% of the room types | 19:09 |
| wolfger | Because I don't follow the entire world | 19:09 |
| wolfger | so if cmaloney strikes up a conversation with, say, waf, then it's going to be like I'm in the room with a friend who's on the phone with a total stranger. Nobody likes that. | 19:11 |
| cmaloney | .@wolfger You should have smelled that one coming a mile away | 19:14 |
| wolfger | and when did snapl become cmaloney, anyway? I thought his new name was Calamine Orgy | 19:14 |
| wolfger | (for those who don't get the reference: http://decafbad.net/2013/08/16/for-future-reference/ ) | 19:15 |
| cmaloney | my analog rice to you, good sir | 19:15 |
| wolfger | I think those are good after-dark and before-dark Penguicon names :-D | 19:16 |
| cmaloney | hah | 19:17 |
| wolfger | My Penguicon name would be Erg Flow | 19:18 |
| jrwren | this is my daily "setuptools is infuriating" message :) | 19:51 |
| rick_h_ | jrwren: :) | 19:52 |
| jrwren | i got through it, its just not intuitive. | 20:02 |
| cmaloney | it's only infuriating if you misuse it. ;) | 20:02 |
| jrwren | http://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/setuptools.html this is my bible | 20:02 |
| jrwren | in this case it was dead simple, not doing the stupid complex stuff I was a few weeks ago | 20:02 |
| cmaloney | #mugorg meeting happening now | 23:54 |
| cmaloney | ;) | 23:54 |
