jrwrenwhy do you need switchable ctrl / caps lock? just make whatever OS you are using do that.00:56
jrwreni can't even use computers with kb that don't capslock as ctrl anymore :(00:56
rick_h_jrwren: I was wondering about chromeos01:00
rick_h_I don't know if it has a method to change that mapping for ctrl-t and w and such for opening/closing tabs01:00
wafcmaloney: yeah, we're monitoring it. might hang around australia for a bit waiting for things to calm down01:02
jrwren*gasp*01:05
jrwrencould be a show stopper for me on chromeos01:05
cmaloneywaf: Hope you all stay safe01:06
wafthanks01:07
mrgoodcatrick_h_: https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/177875?hl=en01:07
rick_h_mrgoodcat: right, I was just explaining to jrwren why I cared01:08
mrgoodcatah01:08
mrgoodcati really ought to make bookiebot handle netsplits better01:08
mrgoodcatcurrently just times out and quits01:08
mrgoodcatthey're slowly adding functionality to chromeos that "full" operating systems have01:16
mrgoodcatthe little things like screenshots and remapping01:16
mrgoodcatrick_h_: just went to my keyboard settings and remapped my keys. not only can you remap the meta keys, but there is an option to use the media keys as f keys like they are in ubuntu (a major pain point for me in chrome os)01:22

jrwrenparty party13:05
rick_h_thief!13:06
brousch_partly party13:06
jrwrenimmitation is flatery.13:07
brousch_Portly Patty pooted prettily past Patrick's potty party.13:12
jrwreni do'n't know that I've ever heard that one13:13
brousch_I just made it up13:18
mrgoodcatpotty party?13:19
brousch_mrgoodcat: Interested?13:21
jrwrenwhoa, more reason to ddg http://www.metafilter.com/139305/The-Mother-of-All-Self-Links13:41
bookiebothttp://goo.gl/PcQiEu - The Mother of All Self Links? | MetaFilter13:41
cmaloneyWhat exactly does Metafilter do?13:48
cmaloneyI've never quite understood that site.13:48
mrgoodcatshould just go home now instead of at lunch13:49
mrgoodcat"google is breaking the internet" seems like a bit of a dramatic title...13:50
cmaloneyWell, it's breaking Metafilter.13:50
mrgoodcatsorry your business model revolved around the support of a company that has exactly zero financial interest in you13:50
cmaloneyso they have a vested self-interest13:50
brousch_metafilter is like fark/dig or a poor-man's reddit13:52
brousch_digg?13:52
cmaloneySo basically a community of folks that post links to stuff on the internet.13:55
brousch_yes13:56
brousch_But with a website theme right from 199813:57
jrwreni never understood metafilter either.14:01
mrgoodcatit's pretty much exactly the kind of thing that the google updates are trying to stop14:06
mrgoodcatalso ebay. glad something is being done about ebayspam14:06
brousch_ebayspam?14:09
mrgoodcatseems like every time i search for anything, multiple google results will be ebayers trying to sell me that thing14:10
mrgoodcathere's the link to the article if you haven't seen it http://www.wordstream.com/blog/ws/2014/05/21/panda-414:11
bookiebothttp://goo.gl/RSVg9N - Panda 4.0: Why eBay Just Lost 80% of its Organic Rankings | WordStream14:12
mrgoodcatalso, the google results you get that point to ebay are usually crap14:12
mrgoodcatit's not even useful if i'm trying to find something on ebay14:12
cmaloneyeBay has gone into the shitter anyway14:40
mrgoodcatyea. the organic links to ebay ALL suck. the prices aren't great anymore. buyers hate it. sellers hate it.14:41
cmaloneyI used to sell on eBay. I just closed my account yesterday14:42
cmaloneyI know other folks who routinely post stuff on eBay and have constantly bitched about how they screw sellers.14:42
cmaloneyfrankly I find the whole thing a race to the bottom.14:42
mrgoodcati find when i sell used stuff i have the best luck just selling to friends14:44
mrgoodcati probably sell for less money but i get to feel like i gave someone i know a deal and i know i'm not going to get shanked like craigslist deals14:45
cmaloneyYeah, I've never used, nor do I plan on using Craigslist14:48
brousch_I have used it twice and it went well both times :P14:51
brousch_But then I don't live in The D14:52
cmaloneybrousch_: Right, but we're not trolling the "missed connections" portions. :)14:53
cmaloneyyou: running away screaming "help, please get this creep away from me".14:53
cmaloneyme: madly in love.14:53
cmaloneyCall me.14:53
brousch_I got my son's drum set for $60 on Craigslist :P14:55
cmaloneySo we've accounted for both times. :)14:56
mrgoodcatcraigslist isn't inherently bad. just sometimes can be kinda shady15:00
mrgoodcatcraigslist deals gone wrong are pretty commonplace in the news15:00
mrgoodcatalso brousch_ :< Detroit is fine you be nice15:01
brousch_i imagine every Craigslist deal in Detroit involves guns and a posse15:02

mrgoodcatyea i saw that yesterday. it kind of scared me15:58
mrgoodcatlike why the hell would they care about keyboard controllers?15:58
mrgoodcatcould it be something innocuous like a buffer that doesn't get flushed immediately?15:58
jrwrenits related to aliens.16:00
jrwrenyou see, aliens can read the historical contents of larger transistors like ones used in KB controllers.16:01
cmaloneyOr the "take no chances" mentality16:01
jrwrenforeign governments have been working with the aliens to obtain data from large transistor keybaord controllers16:01
cmaloneythough in this day and age I'm sure it's because there's some buffering going on16:01
mrgoodcati'm sure it's buffering related to regular use16:02
mrgoodcatthat could potentially be used to store the data even if the hard drives are changed out16:02
mrgoodcat"technically possible"16:02

greg-gdoes bookiebot automatically add urls from this channel to a bmark.us bookiebot account?16:41
greg-gthat'd be neat16:41
greg-gone of the tags would be the username of the person who pasted it16:41
rick_h_ruh roh, new feature on the way16:41
greg-g:)16:41
jrwrenjcastro: did you ever publish those ES and LS charms?16:51
jcastroyeah but they're not in the official store16:56
jcastrothere's one  bug left for ES16:56
jcastrowith a relation, but I have a dude working on it16:57
jcastrologstash is fine though, so is kibana16:57
jrwrenfor LS, do you run ES and LS on same node?16:57
jcastrono16:57
jcastroyou can if you want though16:57
greg-gheh, we were just talking about finally upgrading our Logstash ES cluster to 1.1.0 today :)16:58
jrwrenhuh, i'm trying 1.3.3 here16:58
greg-g(and today they releasesed 1.2.0)16:58
jrwrenoh, that is LS16:58
jrwrenES is 1.0.316:58
jrwrenlame16:58
jrwrenI need newer16:58
greg-g:)16:58
rick_h_at least you're over 1.016:58
jrwreni'm not running it AT ALL16:58
jrwrencuz it doesn't work.16:58
jrwrencuz... its really shitty software16:58
rick_h_oh, well in that case16:59
jrwrenbut, I want to believe.16:59
jrwrenwell, not really I don't want to.16:59
jrwrencuz, jabba16:59
greg-gwhich is? ES or LS or all of it?16:59
jrwrenall of it.16:59
rick_h_all good search is jabba really16:59
jcastrothere is no escape16:59
greg-gyeah16:59
jrwrenspews b.s. zen.ping.unicast nonsense to logs16:59
greg-gwe moved all of our search to ES. All of it.16:59
jrwrenhonestly, I'd rather port kibana to postgresql :p17:00
jcastrojrwren, the current charm in the store works17:00
jcastroit's just not the fancy ansible-based one17:00
jcastrowhich is sexu17:00
jrwrenimma try ES 1.2.x and LS 1.4.x17:01
jrwreni haven't looked at this since March17:01
jcastroI'll have the hadoop-es plugin in a few weeks too17:03
jrwrenjcastro lubs jabba :p17:11
rick_h_heh, companies lubba lubba jabba17:12
jrwrentruth17:14
jrwrencompanies lubba lubba existing software. The sad part is that there so so much jabba software existing :)17:15
jrwrenjcastro: any reason those charms pull jars themselves instead of using packages.elasticsearch.org ?17:16
rick_h_yep17:16
jrwrenyeah?17:16
jcastroI don't think packages existed at the time17:16
jrwrenold school17:17
jcastrothe new one does17:18
jrwrencool17:18
jrwrenimma find this new one... someday17:18
cmaloney?>17:20
jcastrojrwren, sorry, here it is http://manage.jujucharms.com/~michael.nelson/precise/elasticsearch17:37
bookiebothttp://goo.gl/H4QZYI - Juju Charms17:37
jrwrenlp:~michael.nelson/charms/precise/elasticsearch/trunk  YAY!17:40
jcastrothat's the one with a relationship/peering bug though17:43
jcastrobut it will replace the charm in the store soonish17:44
jrwrenthe charm installs ansible?17:45
jrwrenman, you have to be guru to know juju :p17:46
jcastroansible's doing a bunch of heavy lifting already17:46
jcastroso might as well reuse it17:47
jrwrenmakes sense17:47
mrgoodcat.reload17:47
bookiebotreloaded 26 plugins in 0.010538 seconds17:47
jcastrosame thing if it was chef or puppet17:47
mrgoodcatnew feature incoming17:47
jrwrenstill, how much do you use ansible? should it be in juju or in ansible? is juju just built on ansible? it has a strange feeling to it.17:48
jcastrojuju executes whatever you want17:48
jrwrenindeed.17:49
jcastroso however you cobble it together is fine with us17:49
jrwrenthat is true of anything that exposes an exec call :p17:49
jcastrofor a bunch of people, if they have config management systems already17:49
jcastrothen they can just add juju for orchestration17:49
jcastrowithout throwing away years of cookbooks or whatever they have17:49
jcastroansible is lightweight and powerful, our webops guys like it17:50
jcastrodo that for machine stuff, juju for orchestration, it's a nice combo17:50
cmaloneyOK, this is in the "Vim gives you superpowers" category.17:57
cmaloney<C>-V and select a boxed area. Hit [c] and type what you want changed.17:58
cmaloneyEach record in that boxed area will be changed.17:58
cmaloneyEven the basics of vim can feel like magic.17:58
cmaloneyWhat's even better is I was using Alembic which already gives you superpowers18:02
cmaloneyso it's like superpower superpowers with a side of super18:02
