[00:18] Evening [00:24] party [00:25] cmaloney: let me know when you've got time to chat [00:26] one sec. [01:55] http://shop.gogameguru.com/kaya-go-board-86/ [01:55] And people say I'm hard to shop for [11:49] morning [12:36] morning [12:38] yes [12:40] 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] brousch: that's why I roped cmaloney into being a second :) [12:41] brousch: but yea, I agree my original plan of two students for one mentor is dashed [12:41] Each student needs 2 mentors [12:41] Unless you think they'll let you be primary on one and secondary on another, with cmaloney as the opposite [12:42] hmmm, might try it I guess [12:43] I wonder how you could demonstrate that you can handle 2 students [12:44] yea, not sure. I have this dream of making them have stand up calls together and code reviewing each other's branches and such [12:45] so I really want to get two to make it more 'team' like [12:45] hey all [12:47] rick_h_: you might be able to convince a student to stay on even if they aren't chosen [12:47] mrgoodcat: oh definitely [12:47] and I'll try that on some of the good ones to have mini-mentorship [12:47] if they're in it for the experience vs the $$ might get some interested folks [12:47] yea [12:48] are applications finished? [12:48] yea [12:49] that's gotta be a load off [12:49] so now you're just waiting to see which student(s) google gives you? [12:49] yea, so now we sit for a month, not allowed to talk about applications with students, while they wonder if they'll get selected :) [12:50] but yea, slowing down. Catching up a bit. Managed to get caught up on pull requests this past weekend yay [12:50] 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 [12:51] brousch: right [12:51] brousch: and it says not to talk to them about their ranking/etc [12:51] Ah, about their ranking [12:53] well that makes sense [12:53] i'd assume you wouldn't even if you could [12:53] i wouldn't anyways [12:53] might affect the relationship and/or cause hard feelings [12:54] "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] oh yea, that's already started [12:54] I did tell one guy he was about 5th on the list [12:54] and he wanted to know who was about him [12:54] you know he wanted to compare code contributions/etc [12:55] 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 [13:05] anybody heard of https://keybase.io/? [13:05] mrgoodcat: yea, it's going around as the 'easy' pgp [13:06] i just heard about it today. have you used it yet? unfortunately there's a waiting list for an account [13:06] the cmdline looks just like gpg. maybe just alias keybase=gpg [13:06] no, if you need an inviate let me know. Lots of folks on my team have accounts [13:06] jrwren: yea, it's the whole 'twitter verification' thing or what not seems to be the first thing that gets people [13:07] zomg, I'd never twitter verify to them! :) [13:07] lol [13:07] 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 [13:10] mrgoodcat: cool [13:11] 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 [13:26] Good morning again. [13:27] heh, party party [13:27] Man, did not want to get up this morning [13:27] Did you shovel? [13:33] brousch: No, fortunately we have only had flurries over here. [13:34] Just tired. That's all. [13:34] Spent most of the night trying to sleep around the cat. [13:34] and some of it failing. [13:59] jrwren: Are you going to KalamazooX? [14:05] yes. [14:05] it shall be glorious! [14:06] are you going? [14:06] I'll go if the boss will pay [14:06] glorious? [14:07] sure, why not? [14:07] I'm skeptical [14:07] why? [14:07] it was great last year. [14:07] best conference I've been to in years. [14:07] is it a tedx? [14:07] no. [14:07] TED sucks. [14:08] lol [14:08] just saw the x on the end and assumed [14:08] I went to 2 TEDx Grand Rapids conferences. they were pretty good [14:08] why hate ted? [14:08] ted's a cool guy [14:09] but seriously why don't you like TED conferences? [14:09] they are all talk, no action. [14:10] jrwren, brousch I'll be at KalamazooX [14:10] isn't that the definition of a conferene? [14:10] talking about things [14:10] mrgoodcat: yes, and TED exaserbates the lack of action. [14:10] mrgoodcat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yo5cKRmJaf0 [14:10] there is a TED talk on what is wrong with ted talks [14:13] There. I worded the request so he almost has to approve it [14:13] "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." [14:17] jrwren: interesting, you liked last year's kalamazooX conference? i thought it was pretty bad. [14:17] searl's and rubybuddha's talks were good, but the rest of it was not for me [14:18] 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. [14:23] waf: really? what were you looking for? [14:24] I loved all of them. [14:24] So full of love [14:24] I thought searls was bottom of the bunch. still OK, but meh by comparison to the rest. [14:26] most of the talks could have been read straight out of a self-help book [14:27] hahaha [14:27] See that's why I am hesitant to attend [14:27] brousch: give it a shot, most people liked it [14:27] I will if my boss pays ;) [14:28] i liked searls's talk because he talked about real-life soft-skill challenges, and how he navigated the murky waters [14:28] that was the sort of stuff i was expecting [14:29] and it was useful. the stuff that was more like "find your center and be happy" i was a bit disappointed with [14:29] waf: ah! that is understandable. [14:29] waf: i just assumed all the talks are by people going through a midlife crisis. [14:30] hahaha [14:35] welcome back mrgoodcat [14:35] morning everyone [14:36] good morning [14:38] Got some real work for a few minute then I'll be back to "waste Time" :) === brousch is now known as bye === bye is now known as brousch [15:15] Response from boss re KzooX: "Nerdfest. I'll cover the ticket and the mileage. Bar tab is on you. Live long and prosper." [15:17] haha, nice [15:22] So, I'll be there [15:31] Thinking I might go myself [15:34] brousch: I thought you didn't want to go? [15:34] g'morning/almost afternoon, east coast [15:35] greg-g: I questioned the usefulness of the talks, but jrwren's endorsement made me thing more. Also, the boss is paying [15:35] think, too [15:35] :) [15:35] free trip's are good [15:38] I would be 10-1 I could get my boss to do the same if I asked lol [15:38] But I'll probably just foot the bill myself and go. I need a damn road trip [15:40] Havenstance: Feel free to use my wording to help you get funding [15:40] brousch, most likely my boss would send me just to improve my skills and usefulness to him [15:40] Exactly [15:40] He gave me the days off for Penguicon [15:40] I just have to reserve the ticket for that [15:41] I just have to show some business usefulness to the conference, and have it not be crazy expensive [15:41] he wants a list of the conferences and/or courses and he's said he'll pay for that too [15:41] Heh, he is paying for penguicon? [15:41] my problem is getting mileage out of him for the trip from Traverse City to Detroit [15:41] wow, yeah, penguicon is a bit of a stretch :) [15:42] That's a bit of a drive [15:42] he wants me to improve my skills.... [15:42] Its actually quite hilarious at the stupid shit this guy will pay for [15:42] in drinking and polyamory with furries? [15:42] BTW, I will camping with my family in Traverse City this summer. [15:42] As someone who really likes Penguicon, that's a bit of a stretch. :) [15:43] But hey, come on down for the release party. :) [15:43] Penguicon: The Weirdest Ubuntu Michigan Release Party Venue [15:44] Bah [15:44] Friday is nowhere near weird [15:44] Saturday night though... [15:44] :) [15:44] "It's life Jim, but not as we know it" [15:45] they mentioned that the preview of ubuntu 14.10 would be shown there [15:45] he thinks that somehow requires my attention [15:45] er 14.04 [15:45] orly? [15:45] 14.04 should be released by then [15:45] They? [15:45] i politely remided him that it'd be out by then [15:45] if we're lucky we'll have discs [15:46] http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/venues/United_States/1100/detail/ [15:46] he was like you might learn something here [15:46] Yeah, the names and faces of folks on IRC> :) [15:46] i was like if you mean how to get blasted & fuck nerdy girls yeah I might learn something [15:47] 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] he should [15:47] yeah, I know me [15:47] alcohol + hot nerdy girls = no class for me [15:48] hell alchohol + girls = no class for me [15:48] pro-tip: treat women well, with alcohol or not, and you'll find you have class :) [15:48] didn't have the heart to tell him that i've already been playing with 14.04 dailies at home [15:48] greg-g, im aware of that good sir :) [15:49] I just choose to hang out with the women vs being bored to tears all day [15:49] I would most certainly go to the release party though, because I'd be interested to see some of the major changes hilighted [15:50] cmaloney: Hear that? Now you need a formal presentation for 14.04. [15:50] he don't need a formal presentation :)\ [15:50] I expect a proper slide deck with musical accompaniment [15:50] havnestance3: :) :) [15:51] By then I'll have it loaded on a VM and be playing with it anyway [15:51] His release party could include spiked punch and I'm game [15:53] brousch, could just bring booze and say we are partying because its "Finally" out :) [15:54] I will not be there [16:05] heh, I'm not 100% that I will be yet either [16:06] 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 [16:52] That's the great thing about a community - delegation. :) [16:58] how many years of experience do you have? [18:12] Yay new Animals as Leaders album. [18:35] cmaloney: with http://r.bmark.us/u/976f93a3c1fc36 your storage is down from 200 to $50/mo [18:37] typo in articled [18:37] -d [18:37] Is anybody using Drive like Dropbox? [18:37] Can it even work like that on Linux? [18:38] if you use git-annex :) [18:38] git-annex supports gdrive [18:39] so this isn't gdrive but their compute cloud [18:39] oh, but you mean in reference to dropbox [18:41] rick_h_: Yeah, I'm starting to think seriously about offloading some of my less-critical backups [18:42] 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. [18:43] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7152547/ [18:43] A lot of that can just be offloaded into cold storage [18:43] dash h man, -h [18:43] (/home that is) [18:44] 865gigs used in a 1tb (961gig) drive [18:44] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7152552/ [18:44] * greg-g hates having to highlight text to count digits :) [18:44] heh [18:47] cmaloney: -h man -h [18:47] oh, greg-g already got you [18:47] Jesus [18:47] nvm [18:48] cmaloney: D00d, did you know you can use -h to get more human-readable units? [18:49] Apparently df without -h is like tossing acid in people's eyes. [18:49] pretty much [18:50] It's like sitting on a rusty fence post. Please train yourself to always use it. [18:56] /dev/mapper/datavg-music 4.7T 3.4T 1.2T 75% /music [18:56] j/k [18:56] did you know that sort can read the -h output? [18:56] du -h | sort -hr | head [18:56] I did not know that. [18:57] newer feature [18:57] i know not when it was added [18:58] jrwren: wait, just kidding that that is your music library? [18:59] greg-g: right. [19:00] greg-g: that is my movies, tv and music. [19:00] /dev/mapper/datavg-nomirror 4.7T 3.4T 1.2T 75% /nomirror [19:00] i doctored it ;) [19:00] heh [21:00] hmmm, my lastpass login takes substantially less long now (I had it set at the maximum number of hashes, to slow down repeat attempts)... [21:31] jrwren: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-VgGMV22t-yw/UuauqiaCACI/AAAAAAAAAjw/cJd6VgGy77o/s480-no/785a2bc7-f6e9-4d7c-bfcc-3926cce91690 [21:32] Didn't half recognize you in that photo. You look like you should be carting a Macbook Pro to a Rails conference. [21:32] ;) [21:48] Facebook acquires Occulus Rift [21:48] let the wailing and gnashing of teeth commence. === mrgoodca1 is now known as mrgoodcat [23:20] lol [23:20] cmaloney: its cold. I need the extra insulation [23:37] Heh [23:48] http://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/1wf6mg/so_no_way_to_confirm_this_but_my_friend_works_in/ [23:48] hahah [23:48] man. [23:48] heh
