kanzure_fenn: I don't mean to bogg us down with more Marc Fawzi, but he's reverted to posting on Michel's p2presearch mailing list10:21
kanzure_so he's still holding various discussions about "The meaning of Open" and making comments about how OM isn't open, or somethin g10:21
kanzure_and it's very obvious now that many of these people are talking about things purely from a "social commentary" perspective10:21
kanzure_I don't think any of them actually know why the tools that GNU is built around are so useful.10:21
kanzure_it's as if they just think it's all social argument..10:22
kanzure_I don't know how to show people how that isn't the case, but I'm also not interested in fighting that particular battle with them10:22

kanzureHello.17:14
kanzureI have lost two giant 21" CRTs.17:15
bkeroShow hitler is the cube root of hitlerhitler17:15
bkerokanzure: gg, now you have less the cancer17:15
kanzurebut have gained 1920x1080 in screen resolution.17:15
kanzurebkero: Not sure it works like that :(17:15
bkerokanzure: http://staff.osuosl.org/~bkero/newmonitor.jpg17:15
drazakkanzure: 17:16
drazakkanzure: what tests are you interested in seeing on LOAC17:16
kanzurefuck you.17:16
drazakbkero: something I've been wondering17:16
kanzuredrazak: Many, many things.17:16
drazakbkero: is how the fuck inc got an osuosl17:16
bkero?17:16
kanzuredrazak: PCR, DNA synthesis, DNA sequencing, mass spec, filtration/separation, ..17:16
drazakbkero: inc has a hostmask at osuosl.org17:17
bkeroOh17:17
drazakbkero: does he go there?17:17
kanzureI'll have to wait until I get a few more flat screens I guess17:17
kanzureman I'm cheap.17:17
kanzurehow was I possibly living with CRTs?17:17
bkerodrazak: He has an enlightenment handle17:17
kanzurefenn: there's still one CRT left that may or may not work (possibly a pin issue- it was on for a month without use, and then after which it didn't work too well and I haven't fiddled with it)17:17
bkeroEr, an enlightenment hostmask17:17
bkero22:13 [freenode] -!- Inc [i=inc@enlightenment/developer/inc]17:18
drazaknot on other servers17:18
bkeroWe host enlightenment.17:18
kanzurebwahaha17:18
drazakah17:18
bkeroSo he might be using an irssi client from his colo'd box.17:18
drazakbkero: yeah, maybe17:18
drazakbkero: are you morally or legally against fucking with him once in awhile? :D17:19
bkeroDunno, why?17:19
drazakhe's an ass to some people17:19
kanzuredrazak: Did you read the sharpie microfluidics thread on diybio?17:19
drazakkanzure: dna synthesis, hm17:19
drazaknot yet17:19
kanzuredrazak: yes, I have some papers on that17:19
kanzureone moment17:19
drazakI haven't read diybio in awhile17:19
kanzurethis is amazing, I have screen real estate now17:19
bkeroHasn't been an ass to me, but yea.  Enlightenment.  Those people treat clueless users like assboats.17:20
kanzureI can host a condominium on this thing17:20
kanzurehttp://heybryan.org/books/papers/microfluidics/synthesis/17:20
kanzurethose are some papers on DNA synthesizers on microfluidic chips17:20
drazakbkero: we have the same wallet :P17:20
drazakkanzure: haha, I might get to meet venter17:20
bkerodrazak: What does yours say on the other side?17:21
kanzuredrazak: I've met many people who have met Venter. Please feel free to rant about how awesome I am to him.17:21
drazakkanzure: haha17:21
drazakkanzure: you're only sort of awesome17:21
kanzureI see how it is17:21
kanzurefine17:21
drazakkanzure: you'd be more awesome if you were 16 and thinking about it17:21
drazak:P17:21
drazaklike me17:21
kanzuredrazak: I know, I'm so damn old :(17:21

gene_don't ask me I don't really have any good walls17:29
drazakkanzure: /hilight17:29
bkeroI really wish I had 2 4:3 ratio monitors to go with my main one.  I have 80 extra pixels of vertical on the sides :(17:30
kanzureit automatically highlights the nickname, is this a setting somewhere for the specific color?17:30
drazakkanzure: uhmmmm17:30
drazak/set something17:30
bkero/hilight -color blue pooping17:31
bkeroThere's a more complex way to match a standard regex too17:32
drazakyeah17:32
drazakthat sounds right17:32
drazakI dun remember anymore17:32
kanzurekanzure:17:32
kanzurehrm.17:32
kanzureit probably doesn't highlight myself.17:32

kanzurestill yellow.17:32
drazakkanzure: do you have anything on PCA?17:34
kanzurethe plastic?17:35
kanzureor do you mean PCR?17:35
drazakpolymerase construction and assemplificiation17:35
kanzurehrm17:36
kanzureno, should I know what this is about?17:36
kanzureit doesn't seem very googleable17:36
drazakthat's how [ ]Synthesis - Parallel gene synthesis in a microfluidic device (1 kb, but parallelizable) - CBA.pdf works17:36
drazakand I don't understand it at all17:37
kanzuregive me one moment, I'm handing a part off to gene_ downstairs17:37
kanzureokay, back17:42

kanzurehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pysanka "A pysanka (Ukrainian: писанка, plural: pysanky) is a Ukrainian Easter egg, decorated using a wax-resist (batik) method. The word comes from the verb pysaty, "to write", as the designs are not painted on, but written with beeswax."17:59
