02:58 < kanzure> fenn: there are ways to get around it fubaring everything

05:36 < kanzure> ah got it in the other channel
05:37 < Cluckj> Hah, you moved over behind me
05:37 < Cluckj> I texted you earlier, I think
05:38 < Utopiah> http://www.livestream.com/humanityplus is a radio not a conf. talk :-#
05:38 < Cluckj> The talks haven't started, yet
05:39 < Utopiah> Cluckj: I know, the moment Ill stand up to gather food and coffe it'll start ;)
05:39 < Cluckj> It's starting now :)
05:39 < Yocttar> Have fun at the conference :)
05:40 < Cluckj> Yup

06:03 < Cluckj> Yep...are you really that surprised? Hahaha
06:06 < Utopiah> no need to play at 2x speed...
06:07 < Cluckj> Hehe, is there going to be a recording of this anywhere?

06:52 < Utopiah> http://hplussummit.com/elbakyan.html (can help to focus)
06:52 < Cluckj> There's a lot of frightening potential mind-control stuff being talked about... D:
06:52 < Utopiah> Cluckj: better learn to control yourself first then.
06:52 < kanzure> hope you guys like the transcripts
06:53 < Utopiah> kanzure: yes, and good luck for the current one :/
06:53 < Cluckj> Haha, I noticed people were having trouble paying attention, too...
06:53 < Yocttar> cant get the stream >.<
06:53 < Cluckj> Oh you're transcribing? :)
06:53 < Yocttar> ah well

07:36 < Cluckj> This talk is going to be sweet, I think
07:41 < Utopiah> that's a lot of info coming on, even if I (somehow) know a bit on each topic Ill probably need few extra days to digest it
07:44 < Cluckj> Yeah, I have 9 pages of fieldnotes already...
07:46 < Utopiah> is there a wiki for the event btw?

08:34 < genehacker> located

08:36 < Utopiah> there are local mirrors but dunno where

09:22 < ybit> Cluckj: he is impressive at transcribing
09:23 < kanzure> Cluckj: yeah i'm a "cliche" because i keep getting credited in all these talks..
09:24 < kanzure> i'm not going to type ken's talk.. i shouldn't have done john's either
09:24 < kanzure> they are reading from a document
09:24 < kanzure> so they should just upload that
09:25 < kanzure> Memory Networks: Answering the Call of the Hippocampus
09:32 < Cluckj> That's not a cliche, that's credibility :) be happy about it
09:38 < genehacker> wait a second, so that plastination stuff might actually work for brain preservation?
09:40 < ybit> 'the science of the sticky' makes me giggle :)
09:41 < Cluckj> Hehehe
09:46 < ybit> seemingly the spikerbox is open source, where are its design files?
09:56 < ybit> serious games?
09:56 < ybit> kanzure: get other people to take notes for the ones you aren't at ;)
10:13 < genehacker> no seriously
10:13 < genehacker> you should
10:13 < genehacker> supposedly you're the source for hplus transcripts
10:14 < genehacker> you should really put google ads on those pages 
10:19 < genehacker> so if lightman really wants citizen scientists
10:19 < genehacker> he needs to solve the publishing problem
10:19 < genehacker> getting information out is free
10:20 < genehacker> but getting people to review it is not
10:20 < genehacker> it cost ~$2000 to publish a paper in a major journal
10:21 < genehacker> even more so in open journals
11:17 < Utopiah> (nice, going faster, 10min left)
11:20 < fenn> anyone know how to play ustream in mplayer?
11:28  * Utopiah hates time travel talks from Seth Lloyd that always give him deja-vue feeling
11:29 < Yocttar> get vlc
11:29 < Yocttar> !
11:31 < fenn> does vlc work? i can't even figure out the .flv url

11:55 < kanzure> fenn: mac is alot like matt, in a weird way
11:57 < Cluckj> Has mac gotten here, yet?
12:01 < kanzure> he's sitting next to me
12:01 < kanzure> i'm outside 
12:01 < kanzure> outside the conference room, i mean
12:02 < Cluckj> Oh, haha, I saw you there, but my buddy wanted to go back to the conference
12:02 < Cluckj> I didn't pay attention to who else was there :x
12:15 < ybit> so wolphram gets more time to talk than any other speaker because...?
12:16 < Utopiah> :|
12:16 < ybit> fenn: gl w/ ustream sir
12:16 < ybit> fenn: if you get it working, lemme know
12:17 < Utopiah> when he said "let's start with" I wa slike wtf...
12:21 < ybit> now he's repeating himself dammit
12:23 < ybit> kanzure: will you thow something at this guy?
12:23 < fenn> throw something if you're not a lump
12:23 < ybit> something that will knock him out 
12:24 < fenn> heheh 'scientist killed by falling computronium'
12:24 < ybit> n_n
12:25 < ybit> here's an idea, the next h+ conference streamed on the h+ website with this irc channel on the side of the vid...
12:25 < fenn> i think you can actually pick which irc channel to use, no?
12:26 < ybit> these streaming vids always have private channels right beside them
12:26 < ybit> unless you are streaming the vid using mplayer?...
12:27 < ybit> i.e. did you successfully stream the vid?
12:30 < Utopiah> will Wolfram finish the 2 days conf?
12:31 < fenn> no i'm using chrome
12:31 < fenn> hm so is he going to talk for a whole hour?
12:31 < fenn> i thought that was an error on the schedule but perhaps not
12:31 < ybit> srsly wtf
12:31 < ybit> oh
12:34 < ybit> bbl, going to get some groceris
12:34 < ybit> groceries*
12:34  * ybit hopes wolfram is through by the time he gets back...
12:36 < Utopiah> do you think Wolfran is trying an DOS on Kanzure's hands?
12:53 < genehacker> he's stephen wolfram
12:53 < genehacker> that's why
12:55 < kanzure> i'm ignoring stephen's talk
12:56 < genehacker> you didn't miss much
12:56 < genehacker> it's interesting that he essentially farms algorithms for mathematica
12:56 < genehacker> just brute force out the best way to evaluate them
12:57 < genehacker> I hope some of what he says isn't true though

14:02 < kanzure> how did it go?
14:02 < fenn> he's pretty cool, we talked about wearables and techshop vs hackerspaces etc
14:04 < ybit> kanzure get a round of aplause without speaking? :D
14:04 < fenn> heh kanzure did you just get props?

14:04 < Cluckj> He got mad props
14:05 < genehacker> where?
14:05 < genehacker> did I just miss that
14:05 < fenn> we really ought to have google voice running in semi-real time transcribing everything
14:05 < Cluckj> In the conference room
14:05 < fenn> EVERYWHERE :P
14:06 < Cluckj> Yeah pretty much...
14:07 < fenn> supposedly it's too computationally expensive to just do everything, but i have my doubts
14:07 < fenn> also i just calculated on the train today the cost of recording all audio as mp3 24/7
14:07 < fenn> it's like $0.10/day
14:07 < kanzure> where'd i get props? i'm not listening to the talk
14:07 < Cluckj> Hehe
14:08 < fenn> from darlene cavalier
14:08 < kanzure> i don't even know him
14:08 < kanzure> can someone explain?
14:08 < fenn> it's the chick talking right now about citizen science
14:08 < genehacker> fenn where is much of the cost in that?
14:08 < kanzure> it's a chick?
14:08 < Cluckj> Oh, the whole room applauded you for doing the transcription, at the speaker's dropping some love
14:08 < kanzure> fuck
14:08 < kanzure> i'm not doing a transcript of her talk though
14:08 < fenn> genehacker: i'm just talking about cost per gigabyte of a laptop hard drive
14:08 < Cluckj> Hahahahahah
14:08 < kanzure> >_< fuuuck
14:09 < fenn> rofl
14:09 < Cluckj> "The chick"
14:09 < genehacker> fenn you can cheat and store it in loads of gmail acounts
14:09 < genehacker> just like some worms are doing for "cloud storage"
14:09 < fenn> Cluckj: well, she was a cheerleader.. i think that counts
14:09 < kanzure> should i go in and do a partial transcript? what do i doo
14:09 < Cluckj> I think you mean doctor chick
14:09 < kanzure> oh, she's the cheerleader science website thing

14:14 < Cluckj> Haha, thanks

14:17 < fenn> hmm i guess there's a bit of lag on the ustream, probably confusing
14:17 < Cluckj> I'm not in the lecture hall anymore
14:18 < kanzure> fenn: i'm about to go to dinner with Ian_Daniher 
14:18 < fenn> what's the geometry of the location like? i have basically no concept of it
14:18 < kanzure> any things i should bring up? he's doing basically waht john english is doing.. so just assume they are the same person

14:19 < kanzure> fenn: there's a gaint auditorium, and then it's a wide-open building outside (typical academic thing i guess) where we're sitting around with tables
14:19 < kanzure> Selar: hello :)
14:19 < Selar> kanzure: Thanks for transcribing!
14:19 < kanzure> it's fun!
14:19 < Selar> (<- @ghchinoy twitter)
14:19 < kanzure> also probably giving me cancer
14:19 < kanzure> but mostly fun!
14:19 < Selar> Ha
14:19 < Selar> That's great
14:19 < kanzure> btw i did transcripts for last year as well: http://designfiles.org/~bryan/hplus-summit-2009/
14:20 < fenn> btwbtw it's not a yearly event, your url schema is due to break down in 6 months
14:20 < Selar> That's awesome.  What do you do that you get to go to these great gatherings? :)
14:20 < kanzure> oh noes
14:20 < Cluckj> There's probably someone here that could cure you of that cancer
14:20 < kanzure> hplus-summit-2010-boston?
14:20 < fenn> i guess you could just put everything in the same directory
14:20 < kanzure> Selar: i just do stuff i guess
14:21 < Selar> Something like that, or rest-y  /hplus-summit/2009/boston
14:21 < kanzure> woo REST

14:23 < fenn> sorry i dont know enough about Ian_Daniher, he probably isnt doing raw camera sensor interfacing
14:23 < kanzure> fenn: you should look at create_object and update_object for automatically generated views for the main website (kinda like django-admin stuff)
14:23 < kanzure> fenn: that's true, but he's doing an engineering consulting firm startup.. thing.
14:23 < ybit> "google voice running in semi-real time transcribing everything", hehe, i have the funniest messages that come from that service :)

14:23 < kanzure> thanks for dropping in Selar 
14:23 < Selar> I'll probably idle ;)
14:23 < fenn> itamara's talk looks interesting
14:23 < kanzure> good
14:23 < fenn> next person
14:23 < kanzure> hrm
14:23 < fenn> er, right now i mean
14:24 < kanzure> i don't think i can do it, not today
14:24 < fenn> ok have fun
14:24 < fenn> i just meant to watch
14:24 < ybit> this guy lives relatively close to me..
14:25 < kanzure> sprout's where it's really going to get interesting..
14:25 < kanzure> we were planning for 50 people (but have capacity for maybe 30 or 40) and i think at least 100 will show up

14:25 < Alystair> ave
14:25 < fenn> do you have a camera yet?
14:25 < kanzure> yeah i have a camera
14:26 < kanzure> took lots of photos
14:26 < fenn> plz take some pictures of sprout
14:26 < kanzure> hackerspacial espionage
14:27 < fenn> reconnaissance. espionage is such an ugly word
14:27 < kanzure> i see, i see
14:27 < fenn> "strategic intelligence" is the common euphamism
14:28 < fenn> irc is bad for my spelling
14:28 < genehacker> sprout is doing diybio right?
14:28 < kanzure> not to my knowledge
14:30 < fenn> mac cowell hangs out there a lot/lives nearby, that's probably where you got the idea
14:31 < kanzure> nah, mac was the one who arranged sprout specifically
14:31 < genehacker> I am confused
14:31 < genehacker>  I thought sprout was doing that
14:35 < fenn> i mean "got the idea that sprout did diybio"

14:48 < ybit> i thought it was fetching a stick..
14:48 < Cluckj> Mac should talk to the citizen science person
14:48 < ybit> was it the ball example?
14:48 < fenn> i think it was the same thing
14:48 < ybit> yah, i think so too
14:49 < Cluckj> Did he leave the conference?
14:51 < Cluckj> I'll see if I can get her to go to h+beer
14:54 < ybit> afk for awhile
15:02 < fenn> enjoy your free beer
15:03 < Cluckj> Oh shit, there are a LOT of people talking about the party
15:03 < genehacker> fenn didn't you say that makerbot used some money from reprap foundation?
15:03 < fenn> it was posted on the blackboard/announced
15:04 < fenn> genehacker: they basically made off with all the inventory of the rrrf
15:04 < fenn> at least that's my understanding, which may be incorrect
15:04 < genehacker> isn't that theft?
15:04 < genehacker> rrrf didn't really have much in inventory though
15:05 < genehacker> I think their prices were better though
15:05 < genehacker> h+ talks over for the day?
15:05 < fenn> yep
15:06 < genehacker> back to CAD work...
15:06 < fenn> wat you making?
15:06 < genehacker> nothing much
15:07 < fenn> suspicious
15:07 < genehacker> just a space robot

15:10 < fenn> "It was based on an ICQ chatlog where Lowtax from Something Awful convinced some guy he had been killed by his homemade robot. "
15:10 < genehacker> do you have stairs in your house?
15:10 < fenn> house? what is that?
15:10 < genehacker> ok good
15:11 < fenn> my part-time warehome has a sort of slanty ladder
15:11 < genehacker> if anyone ever answers yes to that question and they answer I have been protected
15:12 < genehacker> they're a goon
15:12 < genehacker> a high level internet troll
15:12 < genehacker> I think
15:13 < fenn> thanks for the secret handshake lore
15:13 < fenn> now tell me how i get out of a speeding ticket
15:16 < genehacker> gunn diode
15:17 < genehacker> nifty little device for generating RF
15:18 < genehacker> you won't ever get a speeding ticket, but you'll run into trouble with the FCC
15:21 < fenn> they use lasers now
15:24 < genehacker> you can own a laser jammer in most states
15:27 < fenn> i guess the lasers actually use RF modulation so you could still use a gunn diode in there somewhere if you wanted
15:28 < genehacker> you wouldn't want to
