fennthat's a lot of methods00:00
fenni'm surprised it works00:00
fennit really ought to be using named parameters... tsk tsk00:01
-!- katsmeow-afk is now known as katsmeow00:02
kanzureinteresting, self._mgr.AllPanes is a list of size 5 (zeroed out, so it's 6 in total), and there's no "Geometry" (checked via blah=self._mgr.AllPanes[x] print blah.name)00:07
kanzureAllPanes[0] is the drawing canvas, [1] is the pyshell, so this is quite odd..00:08
kanzuremaybe it's a staticly sized array?00:08
kanzures/staticly/statically/00:08
fennfind a minimal code snippet that will reproduce the problem00:28
fennby that time you probably will have figured out what went wrong00:28
kanzureoh. it was off the screen apparently.00:35
kanzurelkdalkflk;jlkalfa00:36
fennalt-drag will let you move a large window00:37
kanzurebut then why wasn't it in the AllPanes[] list?00:38

fennmaybe ._mgr doesnt contain things that aren't displayed 00:46
fenn<- clueless about wx00:46
kanzurewhen did wx show up on the scene anyway?00:47
kanzurehasn't it always been "gtk, or go screw yourself" ?00:47

kanzurefenn: so what if I call it "HeeksCAD" ?01:40
kanzuremaybe I'll submit it over to dan?01:40
bkeroWe made IRC talk to our living room with ii and festival01:41
fennii?01:47
fennkanzure does your physics class have a study group? if so when do they meet?01:48
fenn<- has some introductory physics questions01:48
bkeroii is a named-pipe based irc bot01:50
kanzurefenn: what questions do you have?02:22
kanzurethere's a discussion section, free tutoring at a certain building at certain hours, office hours for the professor and office hours of the ta, office hours for the lab guy, blah blah blah02:23
fenni wanted to ask about units for torque, and why it's commonly N*m instead of N*m/rev or N*m/rad02:24
fennand while i was there i figured i'd beat up the professor for putting you in a home :D02:25
kanzurewhile I appreciate that, I think you should beat up my mom02:26
kanzurethe physics prof is like a billion years old, that would be rape or something02:26

kanzurehe talks as if he knew Wheeler sometimes :p02:27
kanzureis funny.02:27
kanzureheh, seeing Paul in slashdot comments02:51
kanzure"blah blah blah .. whywork.org .." 02:51
kanzure"hey, this sounds like .. oh. Hi Paul."02:51

bkerokanzure: Why are you not at SXSW?!?03:00
bkeroI've got a few friends hanging out there.  One is holding a baconlounge, with DJ Baconshoe.  He's rapping and cooking bacon at the same time!03:00

bkeroIt's going on in austin right now, isn't it?03:05
kanzurearen't I in Austin?03:08
bkeroPretty sure03:08
bkeroAre you attending any of the events?03:08
kanzureoh03:10
kanzureno :)03:10
kanzurebut maybe I should?03:10
bkeroDefinitely03:10
bkeroI've got a lot of friends down there right now, awesome tim.e03:11
bkeroI hope to go one year.03:11

willPow3rexcept that i think you can pump your own gas there05:16
bkeroYea05:33
bkeroSolution: Don't own a car.05:33
bkeroIn Portland, you don't really need to.  Train service within city limits is free05:33
bkeroand is a fuck of a lot better for getting around than BART05:33

kanzurehm, jeswin-john suggested using paper cloth as an absorbent material to promote water to move up a capillary channel in microfluidics17:46
kanzurehow about a q-tip?17:46
kanzureheh, from one of the authors who did the virtual capillary paper (sharpies), is "Electrochemical Actuation of Growing Copper Dendrimers in Water"17:57
kanzure"We report the observation of electrochemical actuation in growing dendritic fibers made of self-assembled copper nanostructures (of 100 nm or less in diameter), on the metallic cathode of an ordinary aqueous electrochemical cell."17:57
kanzure1.5 to 12 volts. "Either dilute HCl or CuSO4, or CuCl2, or H2O"17:57
kanzureelectrolytes such as: Ag(NO3), Pb(NO3)2, CoCl2, NiCl2, CdCl2, ZnCl2, HauCl417:58
kanzureerm, sorry, that last one was Hydrogen, so HAuCl417:58

geneI wonder if this is how mac guvyer would make a microfluidic circuit to test for lead in a water supply18:30
kanzurenah, macguyver would be able to determine the lead content by taste.18:33
kanzureheh, single-cell MRI18:40
kanzureSurface micropatterning to regulate cell functions   <-- huh. what if you pattern a surface with proteins, and force the cell to go down the path? you can then "program the cell" down the gradient18:43

geneI don't believe it18:46
genewe can shoot mosquitoes down with a laser18:46

katsmeow-afkgene, can we do it with a less destructive approach, so my books aren't set on fire?19:28
genehuh?  I would never ever dream of setting a book on fire(even if it was my god awful british literature book)19:29
katsmeow-afkwit the skitoe zapping laser19:29
geneoh19:33
genewell a book doesn't create a buzz noise so it won't get targeted with a laser.(hopefully)19:34
katsmeow-afkbut the part of th ebeam that does not hit th emosquito will fly by and hit the stuff in the background19:36
