| cmaloney | Evening | 00:18 |
|---|---|---|
| rick_h_ | party | 00:24 |
| rick_h_ | cmaloney: let me know when you've got time to chat | 00:25 |
| cmaloney | one sec. | 00:26 |
| cmaloney | http://shop.gogameguru.com/kaya-go-board-86/ | 01:55 |
| cmaloney | And people say I'm hard to shop for | 01:55 |
| cmaloney | morning | 11:49 |
| rick_h_ | morning | 12:36 |
| brousch | yes | 12:38 |
| brousch | rick_h_: From what I've seen on GSoC I think you will only get 1 slot because you lack a second primary mentor | 12:40 |
| rick_h_ | brousch: that's why I roped cmaloney into being a second :) | 12:40 |
| rick_h_ | brousch: but yea, I agree my original plan of two students for one mentor is dashed | 12:41 |
| brousch | Each student needs 2 mentors | 12:41 |
| brousch | Unless you think they'll let you be primary on one and secondary on another, with cmaloney as the opposite | 12:41 |
| rick_h_ | hmmm, might try it I guess | 12:42 |
| brousch | I wonder how you could demonstrate that you can handle 2 students | 12:43 |
| rick_h_ | yea, not sure. I have this dream of making them have stand up calls together and code reviewing each other's branches and such | 12:44 |
| rick_h_ | so I really want to get two to make it more 'team' like | 12:45 |
| mrgoodcat | hey all | 12:45 |
| mrgoodcat | rick_h_: you might be able to convince a student to stay on even if they aren't chosen | 12:47 |
| rick_h_ | mrgoodcat: oh definitely | 12:47 |
| rick_h_ | and I'll try that on some of the good ones to have mini-mentorship | 12:47 |
| rick_h_ | if they're in it for the experience vs the $$ might get some interested folks | 12:47 |
| mrgoodcat | yea | 12:47 |
| mrgoodcat | are applications finished? | 12:48 |
| rick_h_ | yea | 12:48 |
| mrgoodcat | that's gotta be a load off | 12:49 |
| mrgoodcat | so now you're just waiting to see which student(s) google gives you? | 12:49 |
| rick_h_ | yea, so now we sit for a month, not allowed to talk about applications with students, while they wonder if they'll get selected :) | 12:49 |
| rick_h_ | but yea, slowing down. Catching up a bit. Managed to get caught up on pull requests this past weekend yay | 12:50 |
| brousch | Hm, the message I got says talk to students and refine application. Then tell Google how many slots you want with an ordered list of your selected students | 12:50 |
| rick_h_ | brousch: right | 12:51 |
| rick_h_ | brousch: and it says not to talk to them about their ranking/etc | 12:51 |
| brousch | Ah, about their ranking | 12:51 |
| mrgoodcat | well that makes sense | 12:53 |
| mrgoodcat | i'd assume you wouldn't even if you could | 12:53 |
| mrgoodcat | i wouldn't anyways | 12:53 |
| mrgoodcat | might affect the relationship and/or cause hard feelings | 12:53 |
| mrgoodcat | "how come he got a 7 and i got a 6 when i made 4 pull requests and he made 3" and such stuff like that | 12:54 |
| rick_h_ | oh yea, that's already started | 12:54 |
| rick_h_ | I did tell one guy he was about 5th on the list | 12:54 |
| rick_h_ | and he wanted to know who was about him | 12:54 |
| rick_h_ | you know he wanted to compare code contributions/etc | 12:54 |
| mrgoodcat | yea i'd imagine every student that doesn't get picked is gonna want to know why and see if there's any way to appeal the process or something like that | 12:55 |
| mrgoodcat | anybody heard of https://keybase.io/? | 13:05 |
| rick_h_ | mrgoodcat: yea, it's going around as the 'easy' pgp | 13:05 |
| mrgoodcat | i just heard about it today. have you used it yet? unfortunately there's a waiting list for an account | 13:06 |
| jrwren | the cmdline looks just like gpg. maybe just alias keybase=gpg | 13:06 |
| rick_h_ | no, if you need an inviate let me know. Lots of folks on my team have accounts | 13:06 |
| rick_h_ | jrwren: yea, it's the whole 'twitter verification' thing or what not seems to be the first thing that gets people | 13:06 |
| jrwren | zomg, I'd never twitter verify to them! :) | 13:07 |
| rick_h_ | lol | 13:07 |
| mrgoodcat | rick_h_: i'll let you know if i need one. i think one of my buddies from school has an invite though. he's the one that sent me the link this morning | 13:07 |
| rick_h_ | mrgoodcat: cool | 13:10 |
| mrgoodcat | i'm pretty excited about the service though. the only problem is it doesn't become useful until a bunch of people sign up and people won't sign up if it isn't useful | 13:11 |
| cmaloney | Good morning again. | 13:26 |
| rick_h_ | heh, party party | 13:27 |
| cmaloney | Man, did not want to get up this morning | 13:27 |
| brousch | Did you shovel? | 13:27 |
| cmaloney | brousch: No, fortunately we have only had flurries over here. | 13:33 |
| cmaloney | Just tired. That's all. | 13:34 |
| cmaloney | Spent most of the night trying to sleep around the cat. | 13:34 |
| cmaloney | and some of it failing. | 13:34 |
| brousch | jrwren: Are you going to KalamazooX? | 13:59 |
| jrwren | yes. | 14:05 |
| jrwren | it shall be glorious! | 14:05 |
| jrwren | are you going? | 14:06 |
| brousch | I'll go if the boss will pay | 14:06 |
| brousch | glorious? | 14:06 |
| jrwren | sure, why not? | 14:07 |
| brousch | I'm skeptical | 14:07 |
| jrwren | why? | 14:07 |
| jrwren | it was great last year. | 14:07 |
| jrwren | best conference I've been to in years. | 14:07 |
| mrgoodcat | is it a tedx? | 14:07 |
| jrwren | no. | 14:07 |
| jrwren | TED sucks. | 14:07 |
| mrgoodcat | lol | 14:08 |
| mrgoodcat | just saw the x on the end and assumed | 14:08 |
| brousch | I went to 2 TEDx Grand Rapids conferences. they were pretty good | 14:08 |
| mrgoodcat | why hate ted? | 14:08 |
| mrgoodcat | ted's a cool guy | 14:08 |
| mrgoodcat | but seriously why don't you like TED conferences? | 14:09 |
| jrwren | they are all talk, no action. | 14:09 |
| widox | jrwren, brousch I'll be at KalamazooX | 14:10 |
| mrgoodcat | isn't that the definition of a conferene? | 14:10 |
| mrgoodcat | talking about things | 14:10 |
| jrwren | mrgoodcat: yes, and TED exaserbates the lack of action. | 14:10 |
| jrwren | mrgoodcat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yo5cKRmJaf0 | 14:10 |
| jrwren | there is a TED talk on what is wrong with ted talks | 14:10 |
| brousch | There. I worded the request so he almost has to approve it | 14:13 |
| brousch | "I would like to attend the KalamazooX Conference on Saturday, April 26. A ticket will cost $50, and it's about 100 miles round trip. This conference focuses on soft skills, which is what I often lack according to my yearly reviews." | 14:13 |
| waf | jrwren: interesting, you liked last year's kalamazooX conference? i thought it was pretty bad. | 14:17 |
| waf | searl's and rubybuddha's talks were good, but the rest of it was not for me | 14:17 |
| waf | though as far as i can tell, it's impossible for searls and rubybuddha to give bad talks, no matter what subject. they are amazing presenters. | 14:18 |
| jrwren | waf: really? what were you looking for? | 14:23 |
| jrwren | I loved all of them. | 14:24 |
| brousch | So full of love | 14:24 |
| jrwren | I thought searls was bottom of the bunch. still OK, but meh by comparison to the rest. | 14:24 |
| waf | most of the talks could have been read straight out of a self-help book | 14:26 |
| jrwren | hahaha | 14:27 |
| brousch | See that's why I am hesitant to attend | 14:27 |
| waf | brousch: give it a shot, most people liked it | 14:27 |
| brousch | I will if my boss pays ;) | 14:27 |
| waf | i liked searls's talk because he talked about real-life soft-skill challenges, and how he navigated the murky waters | 14:28 |
| waf | that was the sort of stuff i was expecting | 14:28 |
| waf | and it was useful. the stuff that was more like "find your center and be happy" i was a bit disappointed with | 14:29 |
| jrwren | waf: ah! that is understandable. | 14:29 |
| jrwren | waf: i just assumed all the talks are by people going through a midlife crisis. | 14:29 |
| waf | hahaha | 14:30 |
| Havenstance | welcome back mrgoodcat | 14:35 |
| Havenstance | morning everyone | 14:35 |
| jrwren | good morning | 14:36 |
| Havenstance | Got some real work for a few minute then I'll be back to "waste Time" :) | 14:38 |
| === brousch is now known as bye | ||
| === bye is now known as brousch | ||
| brousch | Response from boss re KzooX: "Nerdfest. I'll cover the ticket and the mileage. Bar tab is on you. Live long and prosper." | 15:15 |
| waf | haha, nice | 15:17 |
| brousch | So, I'll be there | 15:22 |
| Havenstance | Thinking I might go myself | 15:31 |
| greg-g | brousch: I thought you didn't want to go? | 15:34 |
| greg-g | g'morning/almost afternoon, east coast | 15:34 |
| brousch | greg-g: I questioned the usefulness of the talks, but jrwren's endorsement made me thing more. Also, the boss is paying | 15:35 |
| brousch | think, too | 15:35 |
| greg-g | :) | 15:35 |
| greg-g | free trip's are good | 15:35 |
| Havenstance | I would be 10-1 I could get my boss to do the same if I asked lol | 15:38 |
| Havenstance | But I'll probably just foot the bill myself and go. I need a damn road trip | 15:38 |
| brousch | Havenstance: Feel free to use my wording to help you get funding | 15:40 |
| Havenstance | brousch, most likely my boss would send me just to improve my skills and usefulness to him | 15:40 |
| brousch | Exactly | 15:40 |
| Havenstance | He gave me the days off for Penguicon | 15:40 |
| Havenstance | I just have to reserve the ticket for that | 15:40 |
| brousch | I just have to show some business usefulness to the conference, and have it not be crazy expensive | 15:41 |
| Havenstance | he wants a list of the conferences and/or courses and he's said he'll pay for that too | 15:41 |
| brousch | Heh, he is paying for penguicon? | 15:41 |
| Havenstance | my problem is getting mileage out of him for the trip from Traverse City to Detroit | 15:41 |
| greg-g | wow, yeah, penguicon is a bit of a stretch :) | 15:41 |
| brousch | That's a bit of a drive | 15:42 |
| Havenstance | he wants me to improve my skills.... | 15:42 |
| Havenstance | Its actually quite hilarious at the stupid shit this guy will pay for | 15:42 |
| greg-g | in drinking and polyamory with furries? | 15:42 |
| brousch | BTW, I will camping with my family in Traverse City this summer. | 15:42 |
| cmaloney | As someone who really likes Penguicon, that's a bit of a stretch. :) | 15:42 |
| cmaloney | But hey, come on down for the release party. :) | 15:43 |
| greg-g | Penguicon: The Weirdest Ubuntu Michigan Release Party Venue | 15:43 |
| cmaloney | Bah | 15:44 |
| cmaloney | Friday is nowhere near weird | 15:44 |
| cmaloney | Saturday night though... | 15:44 |
| greg-g | :) | 15:44 |
| cmaloney | "It's life Jim, but not as we know it" | 15:44 |
| havnestance3 | they mentioned that the preview of ubuntu 14.10 would be shown there | 15:45 |
| havnestance3 | he thinks that somehow requires my attention | 15:45 |
| havnestance3 | er 14.04 | 15:45 |
| cmaloney | orly? | 15:45 |
| cmaloney | 14.04 should be released by then | 15:45 |
| brousch | They? | 15:45 |
| havnestance3 | i politely remided him that it'd be out by then | 15:45 |
| cmaloney | if we're lucky we'll have discs | 15:45 |
| havnestance3 | http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/venues/United_States/1100/detail/ | 15:46 |
| havnestance3 | he was like you might learn something here | 15:46 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, the names and faces of folks on IRC> :) | 15:46 |
| havnestance3 | i was like if you mean how to get blasted & fuck nerdy girls yeah I might learn something | 15:46 |
| havnestance3 | his response was classic "as long as you get some useful skills out of the class I don't care what you do with your dick" | 15:47 |
| greg-g | he should | 15:47 |
| havnestance3 | yeah, I know me | 15:47 |
| havnestance3 | alcohol + hot nerdy girls = no class for me | 15:47 |
| havnestance3 | hell alchohol + girls = no class for me | 15:48 |
| greg-g | pro-tip: treat women well, with alcohol or not, and you'll find you have class :) | 15:48 |
| havnestance3 | didn't have the heart to tell him that i've already been playing with 14.04 dailies at home | 15:48 |
| havnestance3 | greg-g, im aware of that good sir :) | 15:48 |
| havnestance3 | I just choose to hang out with the women vs being bored to tears all day | 15:49 |
| havnestance3 | I would most certainly go to the release party though, because I'd be interested to see some of the major changes hilighted | 15:49 |
| brousch | cmaloney: Hear that? Now you need a formal presentation for 14.04. | 15:50 |
| havnestance3 | he don't need a formal presentation :)\ | 15:50 |
| brousch | I expect a proper slide deck with musical accompaniment | 15:50 |
| greg-g | havnestance3: :) :) | 15:50 |
| havnestance3 | By then I'll have it loaded on a VM and be playing with it anyway | 15:51 |
| havnestance3 | His release party could include spiked punch and I'm game | 15:51 |
| havnestance3 | brousch, could just bring booze and say we are partying because its "Finally" out :) | 15:53 |
| brousch | I will not be there | 15:54 |
| havnestance3 | heh, I'm not 100% that I will be yet either | 16:05 |
| havnestance3 | He wants me to go but I may be switching jobs. I'm in the process of talking with another company who has already offered me 65k a year for what I know. Not the greatest salry but its pretty damn good for someone with no college | 16:06 |
| cmaloney | That's the great thing about a community - delegation. :) | 16:52 |
| jrwren | how many years of experience do you have? | 16:58 |
| cmaloney | Yay new Animals as Leaders album. | 18:12 |
| rick_h_ | cmaloney: with http://r.bmark.us/u/976f93a3c1fc36 your storage is down from 200 to $50/mo | 18:35 |
| greg-g | typo in articled | 18:37 |
| greg-g | -d | 18:37 |
| brousch | Is anybody using Drive like Dropbox? | 18:37 |
| brousch | Can it even work like that on Linux? | 18:37 |
| greg-g | if you use git-annex :) | 18:38 |
| greg-g | git-annex supports gdrive | 18:38 |
| rick_h_ | so this isn't gdrive but their compute cloud | 18:39 |
| rick_h_ | oh, but you mean in reference to dropbox | 18:39 |
| cmaloney | rick_h_: Yeah, I'm starting to think seriously about offloading some of my less-critical backups | 18:41 |
| cmaloney | But I also need to consider what I'm going to do about my current storage as that's pretty maxed out. | 18:42 |
| * cmaloney just needs to bite the bullet and get some new drives. | 18:42 | |
| cmaloney | http://paste.ubuntu.com/7152547/ | 18:43 |
| cmaloney | A lot of that can just be offloaded into cold storage | 18:43 |
| greg-g | dash h man, -h | 18:43 |
| cmaloney | (/home that is) | 18:43 |
| greg-g | 865gigs used in a 1tb (961gig) drive | 18:44 |

| * greg-g hates having to highlight text to count digits :) | 18:44 | |
| cmaloney | heh | 18:44 |
| rick_h_ | cmaloney: -h man -h | 18:47 |
| rick_h_ | oh, greg-g already got you | 18:47 |
| cmaloney | Jesus | 18:47 |
| rick_h_ | nvm | 18:47 |
| brousch | cmaloney: D00d, did you know you can use -h to get more human-readable units? | 18:48 |
| cmaloney | Apparently df without -h is like tossing acid in people's eyes. | 18:49 |
| rick_h_ | pretty much | 18:49 |
| brousch | It's like sitting on a rusty fence post. Please train yourself to always use it. | 18:50 |
