kanzure"Incidentally, I was amused by another observation in that article.  A08:45
kanzureman who became a woman pointed out that men walk straight on sidewalks08:45
kanzurewhile women zig-zag.  I found this to be very true of my own behavior08:45
kanzureand modified it as a test in NYC by walking as directly as I could08:45
kanzuredown the busy Broadway sidewalks near school.  I bumped into many men08:45
kanzure(who expected me to zig) but didn't hit a single woman (who still08:45

katsmeow-afkkanzure, it's true, men expect you to know they own the space, and to get out of their way, and to appologise when you do10:20
katsmeow-afkit's expected that no matter what they are doing, it's more important than what a female is doing, so it's widely recognised the woman should not interfere, should get out of the way10:22
katsmeow-afkit's also possible the result of an interaction would be an invite to sex, which the woman prolly doesn't want to put up with , so goes the extra mile to go around the male10:23
katsmeow-afkand then there's sidewalk rage int he event of collision, which the woman would lose10:23
katsmeow-afkand collateral siodewalk rage, in which it's reported to a jealous significant other that one party was "intentionally" bumping into others10:26
katsmeow-afk"accidently" bumping into someone is a ok way to grope the other in public when pushing them away, if done descretely and with appologies for the collision, if those watching can assume the two don't know each other; example: gay couple looking different windows of a storefront then turning and walking right into each other10:28
klafkai ahve seen that before10:35
klafkathough not w/ a gay couple10:35
katsmeow-afkand of course, pickpockets10:39

hundred-ideaskanzure: no.13:35
kanzurehundred-ideas: tomorrow i'm giving a talk on the technical aspects of skdb. anything you'd like to hear in particular?13:44
hundred-ideasah yes.  Hmmm.13:44
hundred-ideasMost meaningful answers would require familiarity with the technical details of skdb, which I lack.13:45
hundred-ideasBut I have two general questions13:45
kanzuremost of the audience will not know the technical details until i mention them13:46
hundred-ideasTell me your rough outline13:46

kanzurehundred-ideas: i may or may not include this giant introductory section that can be skipped since we can assume the entire audience is familiar with linux, debian, apt-get, dpkg, and software packaging13:47
kanzureafter that, a brief hardware dependency story, an analysis of the story extracting common features and elements (i.e. "oh snap, that's a dependency")13:47
kanzurethen showing the current package/folder format for skdb and some reasoning for each of the choices that were made13:47
kanzureafter that, maybe some less technical stuff, like general definitions of open source hardware, licensing options, communities on the web, open source hardware projects, legos13:49
hundred-ideasI think you should try and retell the contemporary packaging techniques in 1 minute or 2, just to synchronize everyone and yourself13:51
kanzurewhois silona bonewald?13:52
hundred-ideasI think most people are going to want to know the scope of the project:  1) what can be packaged in it and 2) used today, and what will packages look like 3) and what set of things will be packaged in 3-5 years 4).13:53
kanzurefenn: can you do me a favor and stalk this guy? http://www.facebook.com/#!/markmhendrickson13:53

hundred-ideasdid you select a particular region?15:05
kanzureno15:05
hundred-ideasthat's ok15:06
hundred-ideasthere are several mini foundations15:06
hundred-ideasmost seem to focus about 80% of award on local projects15:06
fennone month is pretty quick as far as grant giving organizations go15:06
klafkayeah that's fast15:07
hundred-ideasthe cycles of the various mini foundations are out of phase, so you might hear back sooner than a month.  but unlikely.15:07
kanzurefenn: any suggestions for the talk? mac's hints above were helpful15:20
JayDuggerLet me play devil's advocate.15:21
JayDuggerWhy do I, as the average H+, care about microfluidics beyond its "gee-whiz" appeal?15:22
kanzureonly if you let me be gandalf15:22
kanzureJayDugger: wrong conference. scroll up higher or check the irc logs15:22
JayDuggerSorry.15:22
kanzure:D15:22
kanzurelet me split up the logs real quick15:23
fennmicrofluidics is a good topic; i dont expect anything serious to have been accomplished in two months though15:23
kanzurefenn: i'm making a video demonstration thingy15:23
kanzureJayDugger: http://gnusha.org/logs/2010-04-09.log15:23

hundred-ideaskanzure: my 2-month goal is to build a constant-culture minifluidic.15:35
hundred-ideasfocus on a heat shock or electroporation module15:35
hundred-ideasok ok or a pcr module15:35

kanzureminifluidic is an adjective, i think, so it should probably be: "minifluidic constant-culture thing" or "minifluidic constant-culture system"15:38
kanzurewhy does romie have an @diybio.org address15:51
hundred-ideashe asked for one when he was setting up the diybio-la group15:51
kanzurecould i have one? :p15:51

kanzurejrayhawk: an IBM patents guy and i were talking, and he's rock solid with the NATO idea20:11
kanzurehe suggested that it would be even more awesome if anyone in the non-assert pool gets to use *the other patents* in patent litigation cases against non-assert-pool members.20:11

-!- JayDugger [~duggerj@2001:0:53aa:64c:14d8:67dc:52c6:ef50] has joined #hplusroadmap21:34
kanzurewhat i have semi-finalized so far: http://designfiles.org/~bryan/presentations/apt-get-for-hardware.pdf21:56
kanzureHopefully this will take at least one minute per slide if not more. There's still a good number of slides left to do, like distributed versus centralized revision control systems, YAML, CAD, legos, kit store, legal bullshit (ugh), Gnusha, the Austin Hackerspace, my microfluidics project maybe, ...21:56
JayDuggerSlide 5's image pairs demonstrate contrast?22:02
jrayhawki like that IBM guy22:02
jrayhawkhe's eviler than me22:02
JayDuggerI think you need a nuclear pulse rocket dependency tree on slide 10. :)22:03
JayDuggerHow much time do you have for the overall presentation?22:03
kanzureyou *always* need a nuclear pulse rocket dependency tree22:03
kanzureJayDugger: 25min22:03
JayDuggerI do, yes. ;)22:04
JayDuggerOkay. So far so good. 22:05
kanzurehttp://designfiles.org/~bryan/presentations/apt-get-for-hardware.v2.pdf22:55
JayDuggerSlide 3--Why a RepRap? Just to establish desktop fabrication in the storyline?22:59
JayDuggerSlide 13--Does your audience already understand both version control and centralized vs. distributed VCS?23:00
kanzureJayDugger: slide 13 would involve some explanation on that front, sure23:02
JayDuggerSlide 14--Text too small to read, highlighting a little distracting. Switching to a larger font and a smaller excerpt would solve both problems.23:02
kanzureas for slide 3, people get *really* excited about reprap for some reason. i don't know why.23:02
JayDuggerSlide 15 balances  font size and highlighting.23:02
JayDuggerHang on...gf threw an interrupt.23:03
JayDuggerSlide 19 doesn't clearly suggest anything. I guess the three rows should demonstrate parallels, but the uneven  layout weakens that. Regardless, budget extra time to explain this slide.23:08
kanzureyeah23:09
JayDuggerslide 20--expand the acronyms: PPL & TAPR. replace CC with the logo.23:09
JayDuggerSlide 20--Remove "But everyone is optimistic. :-)" save that for your speaking, if you can pull off the humor. If not, leave it.23:10
JayDuggerleave it on the slide.23:10
JayDuggerSlides 21-24: Look like ads. Fine, but then 21 and 23 need URLs.23:11
kanzurethey aren't quite ads. there's actual stuff to talk about..23:11
JayDuggerHave you read O'Reilly's slide:ology?23:12
kanzureno.23:12
JayDuggerI don't have a need for public speaking, so I can't tell you if it has merit. It is an O'Reilly book, and so probably has some.23:13
JayDuggerWhat do you plan to discuss on the last four slides?23:13
kanzureit's a sekr1t23:14
kanzurewell, not really23:14
JayDuggerFair enough.23:15
JayDuggeri think you should swap the order of slides 21 and 22.23:15
kanzurewouldn't hurt23:16
JayDuggerIn the remainder of the talk, you go from general to specific, but in those two you go from a specific example to a world map. That contrasts, which might help sustain audience attention.23:16
JayDuggerOr I might talk out of pure ignorance. I don't have to talk with humans very often. :)23:17
