Trixar_zalol06:22
Trixar_zaI meant the Linux distribution - it's somewhat based on Mint, but smaller06:22
Trixar_zahence the name06:22
Trixar_zaMy bad, it's based on Lubuntu :P06:26
Trixar_zaPeppermint OS was initially conceived at the Black Rose Pub in Hendersonville, NC (North Carolina), USA during a night of drinking and discussion about the future of desktop Linux. Peppermint was originally designed to be a social media-centric distribution.06:27
Trixar_zaI think that's a sign I should drink with other Linux users06:27

Golynxinetpro: you talking about the free wifi for like 250MB limit a day08:04
Golynxyeah him08:04
Golynxgreat idea, we all need free internet in some places08:05
Golynxif only my wifi can reach that far lol08:05
Kiloshmm... sorry was letting sheep out08:12
Golynxyeah Kilos can get the free wifi, its more setup there 08:12
Golynxin Pretoria i mean08:12
Kiloswill check it out inetpro  ty08:13
Kilosinetpro  how is he going to setup wifi here?08:14
Golynxme and charl were talking about it last week i think08:15
Kiloscharl and i08:15
Golynxso what is the verskil van die difference lol08:18
Golynxhmm seems i'm becoming an annoying pain in the side here08:22
Golynxokay i'll better shut up.08:28
Kilosits the right way to say him and i\08:28
Kiloscorrect english08:28
Kilosno man Golynx  im just helping you08:28
Kilosnormally the fly does it but he seems over busy08:29
Golynxhmm, why is correct grammer so important in a non business kind of environment08:30
Golynxi expect such things in places that you absolutely have to use it08:31
Golynxnot in a free irc environment08:32
GolynxSpeaking about grammer. I don't see many using caps when they start a sentence here. :-|08:40
GolynxSo Kilos, can you make this strict grammer issue a topic for the next meeting please. thanks.08:42
Kiloslol08:42
Kilosok ill leave you to do your bit08:43
Kilosnope irc is normally without caps08:44
Kiloslook at the long time users no caps in nicks even08:45
Golynxand irc is normally not so grammatically dictative either08:45
Kilosim sorry for trying to help08:45
Golynxits not your fault Kilos. Maybe the fly forget to take off his work glasses sometimes.08:46
Kilosits just some peeps are afrikaans or other nationalities and it became habit to help them08:47
Kilosyou will see even the pro gets helped now and again08:48
Kilosthey gave up on me08:48
Golynxcertainly yes, but to be so politically extreme in how a sentence must be structured is really wrong in my view.08:50
inetproUh! Is it Friday yet?08:50
Golynxaslong as others can make sense of it , it should be allowed and not lead to a kick or ban08:50
inetproHet julle geen werk om te doen nie?08:50
Kiloshehe08:51
Kilosthursday inetpro  only today to get through08:51

Trixarhttp://www.firstpersontetris.com/09:05
TrixarIt's actually a 'web app' that comes with Peppermint - it has a program called ICE which makes creating them very easy09:05
GolynxI played this before but on another platform. Its similar to Breakout 3D.09:07
GolynxI dont like flash games though. The same can be done with HTML509:08
mazalJust tried it Trixar , now my head is spinning worse :P09:08
Golynxbut its cool :)09:08
TrixarIt's not what you think - the screen shifts around when you turn the block09:10
TrixarWhich makes it way harder09:10
Golynxlol, thats awesome09:12
TrixarAnd I think I found what I was looking for. This just works.09:13
TrixarLooks good too :P09:18

kbmonkeyyes, estimated, not neccesarily registered there18:54
Kilosoh didnt look so good18:54
Golynxwhat is the point of linuxcounter.net , other then to log linux machines18:56
kbmonkeythat is the point Golynx. the site says it started "for fun"18:58
Golynxkbmonkey: oh okay18:59
kbmonkeywhen it started there was nothing like social networks of today18:59
Golynxi thought it would automatically detect the linux machine :-/ 19:00
Kiloswhat is the architecture of a pc or cpu?19:00
kbmonkeyso other than mailing lists and irc people had min idea of number of users19:00
Golynxah , so that was back in the MS_DOS days19:01
kbmonkey32/64-bit19:01
kbmonkeydos days? hah, not that far back!19:01
Kilosoh ty19:01
Golynxlol jk :p19:01
kbmonkey*woosh* xD19:02
Kilosok and what is the hostname of this machine19:03
Kiloslinux has been going a long time19:03
Kilosunix it wa19:03
Kiloswas19:03
Kilosonly for servers and hackers back then i think19:04
kbmonkey`hostname`19:08
kbmonkeythe linux kernel was written in 199219:09
kbmonkeyif I recall correctly...19:09
Kilosand unix?19:09
kbmonkeyunix in the 80's19:09
Kilosand dos19:09
kbmonkeybut unix was proprietary and closed source, for big institutions mostly and mainframes19:09
Kilosnow i done my bit for the counter. 2 machines registered19:12
Kilosgolynx save that number inna safe place19:13
kbmonkey:)19:13
Kilosmaybe one day you will be classed as one of the old timers with that number19:13
kbmonkeyhaha19:13
GolynxKilos lol , just like 466664 XD19:15
Kiloseish19:16
Golynxbut the actual machine will be long gone by then19:16
Kilosyeah i hope this one too19:17
Kilosactually no, just different cpu19:17
Golynxand Linux, would've taken over the world and space travel :)19:17
Kilosi actually wonder if they use ms software on space vehicles19:18
kbmonkeyhahaha ha ha. hah. no.19:18
Kilosvery brave if they do19:18
kbmonkeythey actually use a custo linux kernel, and they also use python :)19:18
Kiloscool19:18
Kilosand nasa?19:19
kbmonkeybut the onboard microcontrollers are programmer with a custom assembly language19:19
Kilosthey must be win peeps19:19
Golynxkbmonkey: thats true19:21
kbmonkeynot sure about their mission control or non mission-critical pc's19:23
Golynxspace got so much high intensity radiation that can kill a microchip. Its amazing those machines are still running on Mars and other places19:23
kbmonkeyI read about them long long ago, I forgot most of it. was very interesting19:23
Kilosnight guys. sleep tight19:27

inetproskelm!19:28
kbmonkeyhehe19:29
Golynxsuperfly is webapp2 better than flask, since i'm going to use app engine for my app's backend19:29
superflyWebApp2 is a pain in the butt19:29
superflywe use App Engine at work, and I cry almost every time I have to use WebApp219:30
Golynxah , i tough so thanks19:30
Golynxthought*19:30
superflyso much boilerplate, so much overhead19:30
superflyeven Pyramid's kitchen sink is not as bad19:30
Golynxlol19:30
Golynxits strange , App Engine started with python, but WebApp2 sucks so much19:32
superflyGolynx: If you think WebApp2 sucks, don't try Java...19:34
charl_i haven't done any app engine development in years, but what's the deal with webapp2?19:35
Golynxhahaha, since i read some of the first reviews for Java on App Engine i never even thought of making an app for it lol19:36
GolynxJava on App Engine sucked from the start and is the worst of them 19:37
Golynxcharl_ : i wanted to make a python web app with WebApp2 , but i'm getting bad vibes from all over about it19:38
kbmonkeyloving Python, but only done local stuff with it, no web based apps.19:39
kbmonkeymostly with pygame, the SDL wrapper for games19:39
Golynxkbmonkey: i started python with pygames too lol19:40
Golynxfrom this site http://inventwithpython.com19:41
kbmonkeycool, have any of them around still Golynx ?19:41
kbmonkeyI try enter in game compos as practice19:41
kbmonkeythat is a good site that19:41
Golynxyeah, i started with the first pdf book tutorial and moved on to the second one. The third one is about encryption and stuff, but i'm not into that19:43
Golynxi got 3 still,  i had 26 games i made when i was on windows, but the move to linux i lost most of my data19:45
kbmonkeyoh no :(19:45
kbmonkeythat is a pity19:45
Golynxyeah its sad :(19:45
kbmonkeyI have an ongoing rpg roguelike game.19:45
Golynxi cant seem to get pygame working with python 3+ in ubuntu 19:46
Golynxit only works with python 2.719:46
kbmonkeyyes, pygame for 3 is not official yet19:46
Golynxoh okay19:47
Golynxnice, RPG games are awesome19:47
kbmonkeyhttp://keyboardmonkey.co.za/alive/19:47
kbmonkeymaybe once the engine is done I will commission some artwork. 19:48
kbmonkeymy pixel art is atrocious :p19:48
Golynxthats cool, i like the old arcade style :)19:52
kbmonkeyta :)19:54
superflykbmonkey: now that I've been scanned, what do I do?20:12
kbmonkeysuperfly, I need to make more levels! whoops.20:14
superflyah :-D20:14
kbmonkeyalso, I think the game starts at level 6, and not level 1 ;P20:14
kbmonkeythat was my bad on that commit20:15
Golynxkbmonkey: can i pull the game from github, and play around with it a bit :)20:15
kbmonkeygo for it Golynx !20:16
kbmonkeyoh no it does start from level 1, but there is only 7 levels so far20:17
Golynxkbmonkey: thanks :)20:18
Golynxkbmonkey: the game has alot of code though. It could be more efficient. But i'm sure you will smooth out the rough edges. Great game concept though :)20:43
kbmonkeythanks Golynx. it does have a lot doesn't it, heh.20:45
kbmonkeyI used a mvc model there, so the code grows laterally, meaning adding to it does not get harder. 20:47
kbmonkeyanyway, the first serious python project I started, no doubt I'd do some things different now.20:48
Golynxthe mvc style is good in some cases20:50
Golynxyeah , once you get the project to near completion, its easier to see where the improvements can be made20:53
Golynxyour on the right track, so the game will turn out great20:56
Golynxgood night all o/20:57
kbmonkeygn Golynx 20:57
kbmonkeythanks20:57
Golynxyw20:57
kbmonkeyalso think it is bed time -.-20:57
