| cmaloney | Morning | 14:45 |
| cmaloney | Yay, my keyboard showed up again. :) | 14:53 |
| cmaloney | So now I have my keyobard good as new. | 14:53 |
| cmaloney | I think they replaced the switches on it. | 14:53 |
| cmaloney | Feels pretty new. | 14:53 |
| rick_h_ | woot | 14:54 |
| cmaloney | yeah | 14:54 |
| cmaloney | Makes me happy. :) | 14:54 |
| widox | cmaloney your leopold broke? | 14:56 |
| cmaloney | widox: It was giving me ghost keypresses. | 15:10 |
| wolfger | Ooh... haunted keyboard. | 15:11 |
| widox | fun | 15:18 |
| widox | I get double presses sometimes - kind of annoying | 15:19 |
| cmaloney | widox: Check and see if you still have warranty coverage | 15:19 |
| rick_h_ | yayayayayay http://r.bmark.us/u/cb2e24e3d9e209 | 15:28 |
| rick_h_ | jcastro ran away and doesn't want to see it | 15:28 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, people are crowing about it | 15:33 |
| wolfger | That's awesome news | 15:49 |
| trevlar | somebody just opened a pull request with this line: "cat /dev/null > newfile.txt" | 16:25 |
| trevlar | would there be a reason to do that instead of just touch? | 16:25 |
| wolfger | just to be cute? | 16:28 |
| wolfger | I can't think of any reason | 16:29 |
| trevlar | yeah before I said something I wanted to check | 16:35 |
| wolfger | rewrite it as "ls /dev/null >> newfile.txt"? :-D | 16:37 |
| cmaloney | echo -n > newfile.txt | 16:42 |
| cmaloney | trevlar: Only reason I can think of is if touch is not installed on a machine | 16:43 |
| cmaloney | which I'd consider a bug | 16:43 |
| cmaloney | also: touch won't empty a file, it'll just change the timestamp | 16:43 |
| cmaloney | whereas cat / echo will create new files | 16:43 |
| cmaloney | bah, that's the reason right there. | 16:44 |
| cmaloney | ^ | 16:44 |
| trevlar | cmaloney: ah yep | 16:45 |
| cmaloney | I don't always have brain farts but when I do everyone gets to enjoy the smell | 16:47 |
| cmaloney | or something like that. | 16:47 |
| cmaloney | mrgoodcat: Bookiebot is awol again? | 16:48 |
| mrgoodcat | i'm sure he is | 16:51 |
| mrgoodcat | i've been having networking issues | 16:51 |
| mrgoodcat | hang on | 16:51 |
| cmaloney | .np squeekyhoho | 16:54 |
| bookiebot | squeekyhoho's current track - Enjoy The Pain by 16volt on American Porn Songs | 16:54 |
| cmaloney | tx | 16:54 |
| mrgoodcat | np | 16:54 |
| jrwren | trevlar: if touch does not exist? | 16:55 |
| trevlar | jrwren: it does. the line in question is in a provisioning script for an ubuntu 14.04 image for vagrant | 16:56 |
| trevlar | I think cmaloney is right. to empty the file if it already exists | 16:57 |
| jrwren | yes, he is. I had not caught up. | 17:02 |
| wolfger | oh, silly me. I forgot how cat worked. Too long away from the CLI. | 17:04 |
| wolfger | My suggested alternate would be a touch replacement though. | 17:04 |
| wolfger | plus create the file if the file did not already exist | 17:05 |
| mrgoodcat | it may seem like a small victory but i have to share it. i got my chromebook running arch with no issues at all that i can see | 17:13 |
| mrgoodcat | personal victory | 17:13 |
| mrgoodcat | had to compile 3.17-rc4 myself though since 3.16 doesn't support my touchpad | 17:14 |
| brousch_ | Arch? We care only about Ubuntu here. | 17:14 |
| mrgoodcat | fine | 17:15 |
| mrgoodcat | linux | 17:15 |
| mrgoodcat | happy? | 17:15 |
| mrgoodcat | GNU/Linux | 17:15 |
| jrwren | that is a pretty new kernel. | 17:15 |
| mrgoodcat | yep | 17:16 |
| jrwren | I'm still running 3.11 and 14.04 only ships 3.13 | 17:16 |
| mrgoodcat | 3.17 is the first with support for the c720 hardware | 17:16 |
| brousch_ | chromebook already is Linux! | 17:17 |
| jrwren | so is android, but its not a good linux. | 17:18 |
| brousch_ | Chromebook is more Linuxy | 17:19 |
| rick_h_ | how?! | 17:19 |
| brousch_ | You can get a shell | 17:19 |
| mrgoodcat | chromebook is pretty good linux actually | 17:19 |
| rick_h_ | because it has a terminal hidden away? | 17:19 |
| * rick_h_ is cranky and grumbly today watch out | 17:20 | |
| mrgoodcat | you can install ubuntu in a chroot on it | 17:20 |
| brousch_ | And install chroots. Oh wait, you can do that on Android too | 17:20 |
| rick_h_ | oh wtf you guys are crazy | 17:20 |
| rick_h_ | just because I can put linux on a calculator and run `ls` doesn't mean people with that calculator are 'running linux' or 'linux users' | 17:20 |
| brousch_ | rick_h_: Who peed in your coffee today? | 17:21 |
| rick_h_ | brousch_: I don't know. It's just been peed in | 17:21 |
| rick_h_ | and I'm unhappy about it all :P | 17:21 |
| brousch_ | Hung over from Apple Day? | 17:21 |
| rick_h_ | who? no I didn't eat any apples today | 17:22 |
| rick_h_ | that whole company can go diaf and I don't care. They could release a flying self driving car and I'd still not care. | 17:22 |
| brousch_ | But ... CUPS! | 17:23 |
| rick_h_ | if I want to print I go to the printers | 17:23 |
| mrgoodcat | rick_h_: chromeos is a gentoo derivation | 17:24 |
| mrgoodcat | i thought CUPS was maintained by apache now? | 17:24 |
| cmaloney | If there's no compiling then it's not gentoo stylin' | 17:24 |
| rick_h_ | mrgoodcat: that's nice, but so are fridges out there, and tvs, that doesn't make them linux users | 17:24 |
| brousch_ | OK, I'm actually having trouble coming up with another thing Apple does that a Linux user cares remotely about | 17:24 |
| cmaloney | sue companies? | 17:25 |
| mrgoodcat | I'm having trouble figuring out why chrome isn't linux | 17:25 |
| brousch_ | ChromeOS is Linux! | 17:25 |
| cmaloney | chromeos is not a linux distribution | 17:25 |
| mrgoodcat | cmaloney: why not? | 17:25 |
| rick_h_ | chromeos is a tv | 17:25 |
| rick_h_ | and that tv is pointed at one channel, www.xxx.com carry on | 17:25 |
| cmaloney | mrgoodcat: I can't install applications on ChromeOS, I can install applications into Chrome | 17:26 |
| jrwren | or course it is linux, so is android, that does not make it good or usable. | 17:26 |
| jrwren | an IBM san switch is linux. | 17:26 |
| jrwren | Linux is everywhere. | 17:26 |
| mrgoodcat | https://dyladan.me/#!blog/c720-compile.md | 17:26 |
| bookiebot | http://goo.gl/gvxG4J - MDwiki | 17:26 |
| cmaloney | Like the Buddha | 17:26 |
| brousch_ | Ut oh, we pissed off jcastro | 17:27 |
| mrgoodcat | what makes you think that? | 17:28 |
| brousch_ | He left, but came back | 17:28 |
| mrgoodcat | ah. i have quits and such ignored | 17:29 |
| brousch_ | mrgoodcat: So the c720 touchpad is included in that newer kernel? | 17:31 |
| mrgoodcat | yea | 17:32 |
| brousch_ | Shitty smartwatch app idea: Display ads on your wrist for money | 17:33 |
| mrgoodcat | was contributed by the chrome team so it works like a charm | 17:33 |
| brousch_ | nice | 17:33 |
| brousch_ | Like a juju charm? | 17:33 |
| mrgoodcat | not quite | 17:33 |
| mrgoodcat | problem is now i'm using a custom compiled kernel i have to watch for security updates if i want them then i have to recompile | 17:34 |
| cmaloney | But Linux is unbreakable | 17:34 |
| mrgoodcat | oh yea i forgot | 17:34 |
| mrgoodcat | forgive me if i still watch the security mailing list | 17:35 |
| cmaloney | Hey, when people are out to get you paranoia is only good thinking. | 17:37 |
| wolfger | Did somebody say Gentoo? :-D | 17:41 |
| mrgoodcat | lol | 17:41 |
| mrgoodcat | yes gentoo was mentioned | 17:41 |
| wolfger | Gentoo FTW! | 17:42 |
| wolfger | compile all the source code! | 17:43 |
| mrgoodcat | i had to compile the kernel this morning | 17:44 |
| mrgoodcat | if i ever was going to use gentoo, that killed any chance of me ever actually doing it | 17:44 |
| mrgoodcat | compile on my 2GB, 2 core chromebook | 17:44 |
| mrgoodcat | celeron 2955U | 17:45 |
| brousch_ | I just looked. There are approx 250 fart apps in the Play store, but no app to make a sound to cover up an actual fart | 17:46 |
| wolfger | Yeah... I used to love doing that stuff. Then one day I realized I had better things to do with my time than wait for a bunch of updates to compile on a near-daily basis. | 17:46 |
| wolfger | brousch_: no sound will cover up a fart | 17:46 |
| brousch_ | a cough! | 17:47 |
| brousch_ | So I'm thinking about a smartwatch app that turns up your phone's volume and sets off your ring tone. You would use this to cover up the sound of a fart | 17:49 |
| rick_h_ | brousch_: it needs to be motion triggered. | 17:50 |
| rick_h_ | if you shake your arm around like a monkey it activates | 17:50 |
| brousch_ | Like trigger it by waving your hand back and forth like you are disbursing a bad odor? | 17:50 |
| brousch_ | dispersing | 17:50 |
| brousch_ | I don't think that's necessary. It will look like you are just checking your watch | 17:51 |
| wolfger | Need a good mercury switch and have it triggered by lifting one butt cheek | 17:51 |
| wolfger | of course, it would probably then go off every time you move at all | 17:52 |
| brousch_ | Which is more socially awkward? Letting a loud fart or your phone going off at full volume? | 17:52 |
| wolfger | Well, once you establish the pattern that your phone rings loudly and the room immediately stinks.... | 17:55 |
| wolfger | It's lose-lose | 17:55 |
| cmaloney | You'd need to have a colon sensor | 17:58 |
| rick_h_ | CHC tonight party people | 17:58 |
| cmaloney | woo woo | 17:58 |
| rick_h_ | reminder reminder reminder | 17:58 |
| brousch_ | rick_h_: Was it cmaloney's colon comment that triggered your CHC reminder? | 17:59 |
| rick_h_ | brousch_: or just I can't wait for today to be over and to get there | 18:00 |
| cmaloney | I'm not sure which scares me more: code that doesn't work, or code that seems to work the first time. | 18:00 |

| wolfger | vogonteering? Is that where you go around writing deadly bad poetry? | 18:54 |
| jrwren | Maybe. It is definitely not where one learns to spell. | 18:56 |
