katsmeowthis is alaforkingbama, *what* change?01:22
kanzureobama isn't accelerating change, he's just "Change 2008" or something01:22
kanzureer did i just miss something?01:23
katsmeowor i missed the 4 minute pause as a change of topic?01:24
kanzurenot quite a change of topic, more like "bryan randomly pulling in something from another conversation out on the interweb that happens to have nothing to do with ybit's shenanigans"01:24

superkuhWhat's wrong with it? I guess I understand some privacy issues. Do you want it blocked?13:18
kanzureclemux: yeah, but fenn pointed out that loading/dumping the YAML file doesn't significantly screw it up, so i'm going to write some scripts to integrate gmail, pidgin, and irssi soon13:18
kanzuresuperkuh: no, it's 403'd13:18
superkuhOh, so I already blocked it.13:18
kanzurewas just wondering what it was13:18
superkuhIt's just an old dump of URLs I used for statistics of different networks. Someone wanted to look. I noticed after a while it was google bait and left it up to see what people searched.13:19
kanzureand why it showed up in an email to me13:19
superkuhAnd email?13:19
kanzureyes13:19
kanzureit looks like it was picked up by http://rapid4me.com/?f=10638347&t=Metal_Museum_-_Covered_in_Metal_1.zip& too13:19

kanzure"In regards to the DIY-Bio movement, one of attendees behind me said, “OK, does this mean in the future we buy 99-cent bio apps for our iBiophone?” Think about that for a second. Just a few years ago, the thought of 100,000 iPhone apps for a few bucks or even pennies or free seemed ridiculous. Now it is commonplace."16:57

kanzurewhat do you assjerks think of the name "opensciencefund.com"? 19:37
kanzurejacob shiach (diybio-houston) just purchased it for us19:37
kanzurei need a roll-a-dex of creative insults to call you people19:38
JayDuggerThere's a fellow named Ken Scroggins in Hawai'i, a master of that form. Hire him to write you a list of insults.19:43
kanzurewillyflappers19:45
kanzurebut seriously, opensciencefund.com19:45
JayDuggeropen science fund, a .com or a .org, or did you get both?19:45
kanzurejacob got all19:45
kanzureexcept .net19:46
JayDuggerI am known to have a tin ear in such matters.19:46
kanzureit actually sounds like a fairly good name19:46
JayDuggerIf I like it, that almost counts against it.19:46
kanzurewell there's a lot of hype around "open science"19:46
JayDuggerI'd ask P.J. Manney. She has a good ear for it, and might even know tools to track that phrase's popularity.19:46
kanzureoh i met pj once, very nice person19:47
JayDuggerShe seems it from on-line.19:47
kanzureapparently she worked on star wars too, so she's like a superhero in my bookm19:47
kanzure*book19:47
JayDuggerDid you ever read Brin's critique of Star Wars?19:47
kanzureyeah i think fenn linked me to it19:48
kanzureit doesn't matter anyway, star wars was burned into my brain when i was a very young child (6 or 7)19:48
JayDuggerYou've time enough ahead of you to recover. ;)19:48

kanzure*sxsw19:53
kanzuregah the password to the cpanel to opensciencefund.com is absolutely terrible (it's one of those passwords that is specific to a domain of knowledge within science)19:54
kanzurelike almost as bad as me setting my password to "posthuman2.0"19:54
kanzurealso, why does cpanel even exist19:55
JayDuggerSXSW--sure, if you've time and money for it.19:56
JayDuggerPoor passwords abound.19:56
kanzuremoney? does it cost19:58
JayDuggerI have no idea.19:58
JayDuggerCertainly you'll have some expenses: food, travel, etc.. These might not amount to much, but I doubt they will equal zero.19:59
kanzurehttp://opensciencefund.org/ looks like he already chose to do wordpress :(20:00
kanzurei don't know why people feel the need to use blogging platforms for situations where custom software is probably going to be developed anyway20:00
kanzurei would be more impressed if he would have picked drupal or something, because at least then he could claim he was planning on using drupal plugins20:00
jrayhawk"foundation" would be a better word20:00
kanzurewhy20:01
kanzurehm i should have told him that gnusha already has hosting20:01
kanzuremaybe i'll con him into pointing the DNS information over to bryan.svcs.cs.pdx.edu20:02
jrayhawkI assume you're attempting to promote a whole movement rather than necessarily just funding some open science projects.20:03
kanzurehe wants to do kickstarter.com for diybio grants20:03
jrayhawkBut yeah, you guys are very welcome to stick that sort of thing on astroboy.20:04
kanzureha ha: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/brett/8-bit-cities-real-world-maps-that-look-like-80s-v?pos=3&ref=popular20:04
kanzureis that the server name? astroboy?20:04
jrayhawkYeah. I probably never mentioned that before; sorry.20:04
kanzurei used to be mean to this newbie i knew and called him astroboy (as an insult) :P20:04
kanzure(few years down the road and he's a crackhead, but that's another story)20:04

kanzurehttp://tilecache.org/ http://openlayers.org/20:06
jrayhawkhuh, i guess their domain died. now i feel all guilty for not helping them in time.20:07
kanzurei had this grand scheme for convincing jacob to make his icenine/opensciencefund.com idea a part of gnusha as a co-op/incubator angle20:07
kanzurein particular because if he can get science projects funded, then a tie-in with package management could be really cool20:08
kanzurelike discounts on certain kits necessary to go through with the science project20:08
JayDuggerHad?20:08
kanzurewell i say "had" because discounts-on-kits feels insufficient for bringing him into the #hplusroadmap void20:09
JayDuggerWMS Tiling--how odd.20:09
kanzureor into gnusha in general20:09
JayDuggerI just bitched to a former co-worker about a badly chosen set of tiles showing the geography near Lafayette, LA.20:09

kanzurei would guestimate that they say $10020:36
kanzureanything higher and they are a bunch of hipsters20:36
kanzurejrayhawk: btw, this is in part what i was hoping to use (something like) piny for20:39
jrayhawkI don't really know what-all is involved in this particular site; the guys I'm with are used to doing some crazy expansive projects.20:39
kanzureexpansive or expensive20:40
jrayhawkYeah, I'd like to provision piny for small simple sites that are normally done in massive, terrible, insecure dynamic CMS engines.20:40
jrayhawkexpansive becomes expensive20:40

jrayhawkspeaking of which they want me to install a wsgi server WHAT SHOULD I USE20:41
kanzurewho is they20:42
jrayhawkthe django folks20:42
kanzuremod_wsgi for apache is one option that keeps popping up, and there's one for lighttpd20:42
kanzureer doesn't django have its own custom wsgi server20:42
jrayhawkHuh. I wonder if I shuld just proxy over to that.20:43
kanzurewhy are they asking for wsgi?20:44
kanzureare they hosting a django project and don't want to use the python django server?20:44
jrayhawkI'll go ask why.20:44
kanzure"it's been here ever since the great turtle climbed out of the sea with the earth on its back"20:52
jrayhawkAre you talking about http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.0/ref/django-admin/#runserver ?20:57
jrayhawkBecause there are a fair list of problems, there...20:57
kanzuremod_wsgi then i guess20:58
kanzurei'm not aware of the problems though20:58
jrayhawksingle threaded, doesn't cache anything, "It has not gone through security audits or performance tests", doesn't seem to do any logging, etc.21:00

ybitthanks kanzure, learned about http://openlayers.org/ because of 8bitnyc.com21:07
kanzureybit: can you turn off hplusbot's command bullshit21:07
kanzure!apt-get install bullshit21:07
hplusbotkanzure: Error: "apt-get" is not a valid command.21:07
kanzuresee?21:07
ybitguess so21:08
katsmeow-afkmake the bot respond only when spoken to?21:08
kanzurewhy, it doesn't do anything anyway except log21:09
kanzureyou might as well just have an irssi session open to log to a text file instead of some silly bot21:09
katsmeow-afki figured ybit might add useful !commands later21:09
katsmeow-afk<shrug>21:09
ybit!fuck-off21:09
hplusbotybit: Error: "fuck-off" is not a valid command.21:09
ybitdamn21:09
ybithplusbot: disable commands21:10
hplusbotybit: The operation succeeded.21:10
ybit!orly?21:10
hplusbotybit: Error: "orly?" is not a valid command.21:10
kanzureybit: just stop using a bot you don't know how to control21:10
jrayhawkyou'll never cause the singularity with that sort of attitude21:10
ybit:)21:11
katsmeow-afkspeaking of such, htf does one use dbpedia?21:11
kanzureis it too much to ask to rtfm21:11
kanzurekatsmeow-afk: it just has articles that list databases IIRC21:11

kanzurejrayhawk: do you have opinions or technical insight into lighttpd vs. apache? :/21:14
kanzurei've been wary of suggesting apache for super-high-volume sites just because of how bulky it is21:17
kanzurebut that might be because i took the long route for learning how to use it well21:17
kanzuresomeone wants me to do their homework for them: http://userweb.cs.utexas.edu/~mitra/csSpring2010/cs313/assgn/assgn5.html21:22
kanzureit's not hard, but it's annoyingly long and java, so .. yeah.21:23

genehackerso you going to dorkbot kanzure?21:44
kanzuremaybe if i find it21:45
jrayhawkI'd be afraid of recommending anything but apache for high volume sites.21:45
jrayhawkLighttpd doesn't really have nice built-in "test this configuration file for me before i restart you" facilities, and generally its failures modes are more catastrophic than apache's.21:46
kanzuredoes apache have that feature? testing before restarting 21:46
jrayhawkyes, /etc/init.d/apache2 works that way, even21:47
kanzurehuh? there's only restart and such on there21:47
jrayhawklighttpd also is constantly pissing me off with a lack of features, or half-implemented features21:48
jrayhawkthat said, i use it for its much more sensible configuration format21:49
jrayhawkre: "only restart and such"21:50
jrayhawk        reload | force-reload)21:50
jrayhawk                if ! $APACHE2CTL configtest > /dev/null 2>&1; then21:50
jrayhawkoh yeah, and there's that whole "graceful reload" thing apache does that lighttpd definitely does not.21:50
-!- strages [~strages@c-76-29-243-225.hsd1.al.comcast.net] has joined #hplusroadmap21:50

jrayhawkhave you played around much with nginx?21:54
kanzureno21:54
kanzurenot at all21:54
genehackerif you find it?21:54
genehackerhttp://dorkbot.org/dorkbotaustin/2010/02/dorkbot-23-sxsw-interactive-2010/21:55
jrayhawkI've been meaning to. It looks like its satsifying lighttpd's use cases (proxying, fastcgi) more elegantly than lighttpd.21:57
jrayhawkAnd by "more elegantly" I mean "with even the slightest level of forethought and understanding of HTTP"21:58

kanzurehttp://gitorious.org/~jameysharp/gitorious/federation/blobs/master/app/models/repository.rb23:05
kanzurebut why is ActiveRecord being used at all23:06
kanzuredoesn't that mean that gitorious is using an SQL backend for managing repositories? what's the point of that23:06
kanzurei've been reading this and can't stand ruby developers: http://www.rubyinside.com/no-true-mod_ruby-is-damaging-rubys-viability-on-the-web-693.html23:27
kanzureit's just the way they talk i guess?23:27
kanzuremaybe useful: http://blog.dscpl.com.au/2007/07/web-hosting-landscape-and-modwsgi.html23:47
kanzure"The second problem is that although in mod_wsgi distinct Python sub interpreters are used to keep different applications separate, this isn't fool proof. Problems can arise where different applications attempt to use different versions of a particular C extension module, as Python only loads C extensions once for the whole process and not separately for each sub interpreter."23:48
kanzure(that's for "embedded mode" of mod_wsgi)23:49
kanzurei wonder how apache knows the password to the 'trac' user? http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/IntegrationWithTrac23:57
kanzureparticularly at the line that says: WSGIDaemonProcess site-1 user=trac group=trac threads=2523:57
