cmaloneyEvening from CHC01:06
wolfgergood morning party people11:15
brouschwolfger: Good morning11:58
cmaloneyGood morning12:38
cmaloneyHow's the morning so far?12:38
brouschtired12:47
brouschWas up until 1AM working on a photobooth for Grand Rapids mini Makerfaire12:48
wolfgercool12:49
brouschYeah, but decided it was too ugly to use12:49
cmaloneybrousch: I wrote one for waldo's wedding12:54

cmaloneyIt'll work fine on a laptop, but we had some problems getting it working on a Raspberry Pi12:55
brouschDid it print?12:57
brouschI was not involved with the software side this time, but the biggest problem was lack of printer drivers for Linux for the printer they chose12:58
brouschI started work on a Kivy on RPi version, but stopped when they said the software was worked out12:58
cmaloneybrousch: WE just stored the photos, but you could set up something to do a poll in a directory and do a lpr on the photo12:59
cmaloneyand then remove the photo or archive it12:59
brouschUsing the RPi camera and a big button12:59
cmaloneyyeah, this was similar though it used an arduino for the button12:59
brouschneat13:00
brouschI really want one that's voice-driven13:00
cmaloneyso the arduino sent a "fire" signal down the wire, and did a little side-show blinking until the main program was ready.13:00
brouschActually voice activated would be bad since these are usually used at parties and such where there is a lot of noise13:06
brouschNow I have to think of other features. Motion-activated would be easy. Maybe something to auto-adjust the camera to face-height13:08
cmaloneybrousch: The sky is, as they say, the limit. :)13:13
brouschDid your photo booth show a live-feed from the video camera?13:14
cmaloneyYes13:15
cmaloneyAlong with some animation13:15
cmaloneyIt should work with just pygame13:15
brouschTaking the rpi cam feed and putting it into a gui is where I left off13:15
brouschkivy13:15
cmaloneythough the variables will need some tweaking for locating the video camera13:15
brouschI was using http://picamera.readthedocs.org/en/release-1.7/13:16

brouschI admit I didn't go very far, so it may be obvious13:17
=== ColonelPanic002_ is now known as ColonelPanic001
wolfgercmaloney: my day is officially over... I just read your "tweaking" as "twerking"...13:26
wolfgeras I tabbed to this room to LOL about "call for assistance" being named as "asscall" on the system I'm working on.13:27
brouschwolfger: Now I have an image of cmaloney twerking. Thank you very much.13:28
wolfgerbrousch: you're welcome very much13:28
brouschA mental image, which is worse than a real image because it can't be closed or thrown away13:28
brouschI'm drinking half-caf coffee this morning instead of decaf. It always tastes better.13:32
wolfgerplus: caffeine!13:49
wolfgerbut I've never heard of half-caf. Is it sold that way, or just blended?13:50
brouschjust half regular and half decaf13:56
brouschblended, yes13:56
brouschSo I can drink my 24oz of coffee but not die of heart palpitations13:57
wolfgerNot dying is good.14:05
wolfgerCaffeine is good.14:05
wolfgerAll around a good choice. :-D14:05

bookiebothttp://goo.gl/34I8j6 - In 2008, I bought a book titled “PHP 6″. Six years later, PHP version is still 5.5 : programming14:09
cmaloneyI still find this hilarious.14:09
wolfgerI think everything about bitcoin is insane. But maybe I just don't understand it?14:15
wolfgerSpeaking of new versions of things that never seem to really arrive.... Perl? Enlightenment?14:16
aisraelwolfger: ouch, two of my favorite things :(14:17
wolfgerMine too :-(14:17
cmaloneypython is where it's all at14:17
wolfgerHmm. Perl 6 is still vaporware, but it looks like e17 is finally actually here.14:19
aisraelTrue enough, but Perl's like that friend who never gives up on you, even when you stop calling.14:19
aisraele17's been around for a couple years now, I think. :/14:19
wolfgerPerl is the awesomest way to manipulate data quickly. Which is primarily the type of programming I need to do in my job.14:20
wolfgersadly, lately, I'm stuck using vba :'(14:21
nullspacewolfger: ahahaah vba...14:24
cmaloneywolfger: You poor poor bastard14:25
nullspaceI have yet to do anything in vba that was fast or easy as the developer interface is pretty useless14:26
brouschwolfger: Enlightenment released!14:29
wolfgernullspace: developer interface? You mean, Notepad++? :-D14:37
nullspaceeither or, need an IDE14:40
