| kanzure | Does anyone know of an XML-like calendar event representation format? | 05:31 |
| kanzure | quick name check | 05:38 |
| kanzure | somebody suggested I throw up a wiki to just mass dump my information on Austin events / calendar stuff | 05:38 |
| kanzure | austincal.org | 05:38 |
| kanzure | good/bad? | 05:38 |
| pk | howdy | 05:59 |
| pk | anybody around? | 05:59 |
| kanzure | yes | 05:59 |
| pk | hi bryan | 06:00 |
| pk | it's sean hobin | 06:00 |
| kanzure | hobin? | 06:00 |
| kanzure | let me think for a second | 06:00 |
| pk | meh I haven't had much communication with you | 06:00 |
| kanzure | oh good :) | 06:00 |
| * kanzure sighs | 06:00 | |
| pk | I might've met you at the neural interfaces conference | 06:00 |
| kanzure | Didn't go. | 06:01 |
| pk | neither did i | 06:01 |
| kanzure | but I did try to steal all of their videos from their website | 06:01 |
| kanzure | stupid flash protocol server or something | 06:01 |
| pk | yeah, they're using dumb stuff | 06:01 |
| pk | mmm it's a stream of some sort | 06:01 |
| kanzure | rmtp | 06:01 |
| kanzure | anyway | 06:01 |
| pk | what have you been reading about recently | 06:02 |
| -!- pk is now known as shobin | 06:03 | |
| kanzure | hm | 06:06 |
| kanzure | http://heybryan.org/2008-08-15.html | 06:06 |
| kanzure | just got back from an sf convention today | 06:06 |
| kanzure | Once upon a galaxy, Modesitt's Gravity Dreams, The Silicon Mage, Ian Banks' Excession, Larry Niven's The Ringworld Engineers (signed! woo etc.), good times. | 06:07 |
| shobin | I haven't heard of any of them | 06:08 |
| shobin | I'm guessing you've read biopunk though, eh? | 06:08 |
| kanzure | Larry Niven and Ian Banks are two names you should hear of. | 06:08 |
| kanzure | yes | 06:08 |
| kanzure | Brain Plague comes to mind | 06:08 |
| shobin | I'm reading Ribofunk right now | 06:08 |
| kanzure | and Egan's Luminous stories | 06:08 |
| shobin | have you read it? | 06:08 |
| kanzure | No. | 06:08 |
| kanzure | Send it to me :) kanzure@gmail.com | 06:09 |
| shobin | It's good | 06:09 |
| shobin | oh, I'm reading a physical copy | 06:09 |
| shobin | heh | 06:09 |
| shobin | I can't stand e-books. | 06:09 |
| shobin | I might be able to tolerate something like a kindle | 06:09 |
| kanzure | DRM? | 06:10 |
| shobin | it's locked up? | 06:10 |
| kanzure | avoid it | 06:10 |
| kanzure | might be | 06:10 |
| shobin | yeah I wasn't planning on buying it anyway, too expensive | 06:11 |
| shobin | have you heard of the company selling 'transgenic cats'? | 06:11 |
| kanzure | http://www.loper-os.org/?p=4 | 06:11 |
| kanzure | no? | 06:11 |
| kanzure | glow in the dark cats? | 06:12 |
| shobin | just engineered to be hypoallergenic, or so they claim | 06:12 |
| shobin | I think it's bullshit | 06:12 |
| shobin | http://www.lifestylepets.com/cats.html | 06:12 |
| shobin | That site doesn't seem to mention genetic engineering much, but Wired said the cats are transgenic, and I usually respect their word | 06:14 |
| shobin | what do you think about it? | 06:15 |
| kanzure | blah | 06:17 |
| kanzure | give me a day or so | 06:17 |
| kanzure | talking with Wittig over here about Stanislav, trying to see if this guy might be worth my time | 06:17 |
| kanzure | and Tony about the discrete nature of process physics as applied to topologies/contextualization for deterministic "you win" stuff that I was mentioning earlier that you totally missed today | 06:17 |
| shobin | I miss a lot of stuff from the groups I'm subscribed too - I subscribed to too many | 06:18 |
| shobin | I'll check it out though | 06:18 |
| kanzure | never too mnay | 06:19 |
| shobin | do you ever get synthetic biology people here? | 06:24 |
| shobin | like mac cowell or any of that crew | 06:24 |
| kanzure | yes | 06:26 |
| kanzure | I also met mac recently | 06:26 |
| shobin | where? | 06:27 |
| kanzure | he's basically the stereotypical party guy | 06:27 |
| kanzure | at biobarcamp | 06:27 |
| shobin | which one | 06:27 |
| kanzure | 2008 | 06:27 |
| shobin | that's located in cali right? | 06:27 |
| shobin | mm it is | 06:28 |
| kanzure | Palo Alto, California | 06:28 |
| shobin | he's a cool guy | 06:28 |
| shobin | infectious enthusiasm | 06:28 |
| kanzure | my enthusiasm is better | 06:28 |
| shobin | oh yeah? | 06:28 |
| kanzure | sure :) | 06:28 |
| shobin | maybe I'll meet you at something one of these days | 06:28 |
| kanzure | how about you fly here? :) | 06:28 |
| shobin | are you going to participate in iGEM 2009? | 06:29 |
| shobin | I thought you were in Texas | 06:29 |
| shobin | are you in Cali now? | 06:29 |
| kanzure | Austin. | 06:29 |
| kanzure | I flew back to Austin on the 9th | 06:29 |
| shobin | actually | 06:30 |
| kanzure | Not going to participate in igem it seems, no team | 06:30 |
| shobin | my friend lives in Austin | 06:30 |
| kanzure | which one? | 06:30 |
| shobin | so flying out may be a possibility | 06:30 |
| shobin | in fact, we were talking about it | 06:30 |
| kanzure | who? | 06:30 |
| shobin | he's a software developer, not much interest in trasnhumanism | 06:30 |
| shobin | anyway, why don't you start a team? | 06:31 |
| shobin | are you at a university now? | 06:31 |
| kanzure | yes | 06:32 |
| kanzure | the lab I was working at did, in fact, have a team one year | 06:32 |
| kanzure | they did the photobacteria engineering | 06:32 |
| shobin | ut austin | 06:32 |
| shobin | that's great | 06:32 |
| kanzure | the professor has a strong dislike of biobricks and igem and so on :) | 06:32 |
| shobin | um, why? | 06:32 |
| kanzure | bullshit | 06:32 |
| shobin | anyway | 06:32 |
| kanzure | MIT being territorial and such, apparently | 06:32 |
| kanzure | shocking :p | 06:33 |
| shobin | I'm almost positive you'll be able to start a team | 06:33 |
| shobin | if you want | 06:33 |
| kanzure | sure | 06:33 |
| kanzure | I wonder if I can submit myself as a genetically engineered machine | 06:33 |
| * kanzure goes to check the docs | 06:33 | |
| shobin | lawl | 06:33 |
| kanzure | http://heybryan.org/genetic-circuits.html or something had my first organism | 06:34 |
| shobin | does MIT have some kind of ownership of the parts in the parts registry or something I'm not aware of | 06:34 |
| kanzure | no, I'm sure it's not that | 06:35 |
| kanzure | http://austinbrains.org/ now to deploy a wiki | 06:38 |
| kanzure | him | 06:38 |
| kanzure | *hm | 06:38 |
| kanzure | late night project :) | 06:38 |
| shobin | probably because MIT is getting most of the attention for a lot of work done by all the iGEM teams | 06:38 |
| shobin | but, deservedly so | 06:39 |
| kanzure | nope, I'm sure it's not that either | 06:39 |
| kanzure | http://austinbrains.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page | 06:48 |
| kanzure | okay :) | 06:48 |
| shobin | good job, lightning fast | 06:50 |
| shobin | who do you using for hosting | 06:50 |
| shobin | anime universe! | 06:52 |
| shobin | you're hosting it then | 06:52 |
| kanzure | hah, anime universe was 2003 | 06:59 |
| kanzure | yeah, I host all of my stuff | 06:59 |
| kanzure | it's a box right next to me | 06:59 |
| ybit | bryan, what's the status on the hplusroadmap mailing list? | 08:56 |
| fenn | wow $31k for a transgenic cat | 15:43 |
| fenn | and it doesn't even shoot lasers | 15:43 |
| fenn | or glow in the dark | 15:44 |
| kanzure | ybit: still down | 18:07 |
| kanzure | need a relayhost | 18:07 |
| kanzure | in my inbox: | 18:10 |

| shobin | that reminded me of David Hahn | 18:40 |
| shobin | the radioactive boyscout | 18:40 |
| kanzure | sure | 18:41 |
| shobin | I wasn't about to post that to the diybio mailing list though | 18:41 |
| kanzure | hah, he has back issues of Nuts and Volts | 18:43 |

| kanzure | what the hell good is a dorm if the fiber cuts off? | 22:24 |
| kanzure | best ways of doing calendars? | 23:37 |
| kanzure | calendars are kind of like git | 23:42 |
| kanzure | conceptually, at least | 23:42 |
| kanzure | patches and updates = events on the calendar | 23:42 |
