[01:06] <cmaloney> Evening from CHC
[11:15] <wolfger> good morning party people
[11:58] <brousch> wolfger: Good morning
[12:38] <cmaloney> Good morning
[12:38] <cmaloney> How's the morning so far?
[12:47] <brousch> tired
[12:48] <brousch> Was up until 1AM working on a photobooth for Grand Rapids mini Makerfaire
[12:49] <wolfger> cool
[12:49] <brousch> Yeah, but decided it was too ugly to use
[12:54] <cmaloney> brousch: I wrote one for waldo's wedding
[12:55] <cmaloney> https://github.com/craigmaloney/pygame_photobooth
[12:55] <bookiebot> http://goo.gl/bKGx8h - craigmaloney/pygame_photobooth · GitHub
[12:55] <cmaloney> It'll work fine on a laptop, but we had some problems getting it working on a Raspberry Pi
[12:57] <brousch> Did it print?
[12:58] <brousch> I was not involved with the software side this time, but the biggest problem was lack of printer drivers for Linux for the printer they chose
[12:58] <brousch> I started work on a Kivy on RPi version, but stopped when they said the software was worked out
[12:59] <cmaloney> brousch: WE just stored the photos, but you could set up something to do a poll in a directory and do a lpr on the photo
[12:59] <cmaloney> and then remove the photo or archive it
[12:59] <brousch> Using the RPi camera and a big button
[12:59] <cmaloney> yeah, this was similar though it used an arduino for the button
[13:00] <brousch> neat
[13:00] <brousch> I really want one that's voice-driven
[13:00] <cmaloney> so the arduino sent a "fire" signal down the wire, and did a little side-show blinking until the main program was ready.
[13:06] <brousch> Actually voice activated would be bad since these are usually used at parties and such where there is a lot of noise
[13:08] <brousch> Now I have to think of other features. Motion-activated would be easy. Maybe something to auto-adjust the camera to face-height
[13:13] <cmaloney> brousch: The sky is, as they say, the limit. :)
[13:14] <brousch> Did your photo booth show a live-feed from the video camera?
[13:15] <cmaloney> Yes
[13:15] <cmaloney> Along with some animation
[13:15] <cmaloney> It should work with just pygame
[13:15] <brousch> Taking the rpi cam feed and putting it into a gui is where I left off
[13:15] <brousch> kivy
[13:15] <cmaloney> though the variables will need some tweaking for locating the video camera
[13:16] <brousch> I was using http://picamera.readthedocs.org/en/release-1.7/
[13:16] <bookiebot> http://goo.gl/DEavDm - Documentation for picamera — Picamera 1.7 documentation
[13:17] <brousch> I admit I didn't go very far, so it may be obvious
[13:26] <wolfger> cmaloney: my day is officially over... I just read your "tweaking" as "twerking"...
[13:27] <wolfger> as I tabbed to this room to LOL about "call for assistance" being named as "asscall" on the system I'm working on.
[13:28] <brousch> wolfger: Now I have an image of cmaloney twerking. Thank you very much.
[13:28] <wolfger> brousch: you're welcome very much
[13:28] <brousch> A mental image, which is worse than a real image because it can't be closed or thrown away
[13:32] <brousch> I'm drinking half-caf coffee this morning instead of decaf. It always tastes better.
[13:49] <wolfger> plus: caffeine!
[13:50] <wolfger> but I've never heard of half-caf. Is it sold that way, or just blended?
[13:56] <brousch> just half regular and half decaf
[13:56] <brousch> blended, yes
[13:57] <brousch> So I can drink my 24oz of coffee but not die of heart palpitations
[14:05] <wolfger> Not dying is good.
[14:05] <wolfger> Caffeine is good.
[14:05] <wolfger> All around a good choice. :-D

[14:09] <bookiebot> http://goo.gl/34I8j6 - In 2008, I bought a book titled “PHP 6″. Six years later, PHP version is still 5.5 : programming
[14:09] <cmaloney> I still find this hilarious.
[14:15] <wolfger> I think everything about bitcoin is insane. But maybe I just don't understand it?
[14:16] <wolfger> Speaking of new versions of things that never seem to really arrive.... Perl? Enlightenment?
[14:17] <aisrael> wolfger: ouch, two of my favorite things :(
[14:17] <wolfger> Mine too :-(
[14:17] <cmaloney> python is where it's all at
[14:19] <wolfger> Hmm. Perl 6 is still vaporware, but it looks like e17 is finally actually here.
[14:19] <aisrael> True enough, but Perl's like that friend who never gives up on you, even when you stop calling.
[14:19] <aisrael> e17's been around for a couple years now, I think. :/
[14:20] <wolfger> Perl is the awesomest way to manipulate data quickly. Which is primarily the type of programming I need to do in my job.
[14:21] <wolfger> sadly, lately, I'm stuck using vba :'(
[14:24] <nullspace> wolfger: ahahaah vba...
[14:25] <cmaloney> wolfger: You poor poor bastard
[14:26] <nullspace> I have yet to do anything in vba that was fast or easy as the developer interface is pretty useless
[14:29] <brousch> wolfger: Enlightenment released!
[14:37] <wolfger> nullspace: developer interface? You mean, Notepad++? :-D
[14:40] <nullspace> either or, need an IDE
[15:04] <brousch> This new map-making thing from Google is so hawt https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=zrQvOoR-Erxg.kd3PEnNokuy8

[15:11] <brousch> You can add your own metadata to the places in a nice spreadsheet-like format, add directions and lines, share the maps like Google+ sharing, and it has a nice app from Google

[18:22] <jcastro> read the reviews
[19:30] <cmaloney> jcastro: That's eye-rollingly bad. :)
[19:36] <cmaloney> There are few beter feelings than tearing the shrinkwrap off of a CD.
[19:37] <cmaloney> save for tearing the shrinkwrap off of a CD that has airmail stickers on it. :)
