JayDuggerWhat uses do people have for Gephi? Can I use it to make a bug dependency graph?05:10
UtopiahJayDugger: if you are into GraphViz/Gephi/Dot you might want to consider Processing too05:11
JayDuggerI just want my boss to pull his head from the sand and manage problems in their critical path vs. FIFO.05:11
JayDuggerLast In, First Out, rather.05:12
JayDuggerI do that for him now, and am quite sick of it.05:12
JayDuggerThank you for the suggestion, Utopiah.05:12
Utopiahif you have a goal for your visualization you are already in a better position than 80% of people interested in the topic ;]05:14
JayDuggerInfoporn to make my boss's eyes glaze over?05:14
JayDuggerA low-brow goal, and one that condemns me as a manipulator instead of serving as a tool to edify my co-workers.05:15
JayDuggerThe ends will justify the means, no doubt. :)05:15

kanzurehow has progress been18:50
kanzurehundred-ideas: a friend of mine has conscripted me to hook up an SMS gateway to skdb for distributed instructions18:50
kanzureour first project is a distributed cake-making project18:50
kanzurewhere different people get different text messages based on where they are18:50
kanzurei.e. "get some flour"18:50
hundred-ideashey guys18:55
hundred-ideaswow that is a truly awesome idea18:55
hundred-ideasI love it18:55

Salainhey18:58
kanzurehello Salain 18:59
Salainhadn't heard of hplus before - looking through it, interesting19:00
Salainfriend works for nasa, he is designing their space-bound fabrication setup19:00
kanzureour idea is to "download hardware from the web"19:01
kanzurehttp://gnusha.org/ has some videos if you're interested19:01
Salainyeah reading through, UT Austin alum - good stuff19:06
kanzurei'd be interested in hearing about what your friend is doing.. or you too19:08
* heath wonders how long it takes google to crawl your site ..it's been months since i've submitted19:11
SalainI'm finishing a doctorate in neuroscience.  He's the project lead on a few projects, but the one that is the most relevant is a remotely controllable machine shop which could be sent to extra-planetary locales - on the premise that it is vastly more efficient to send raw materials to machine parts as necessary than to send dupli- or triplicates of key items19:12
Salainheath - in my experience less than a week...19:12
heatho.O19:12
Salaindo you have links to your site from pages that are already indexed?19:12
Salainor just the request you submitted19:12
heathSalain: yes19:12
heathit's linked from hackerspaces.org19:12
heathon google groups and on twitter19:13
heathnice major btw19:13
Salainand you're sure the link at hackerspaces is indexable?19:13
heathsearch 'tweak labs'19:13
heathoh, uh, i don't see why not..19:14
Salainand thanks - it is good stuff19:14
Salain(neuroscience)19:14
heathright19:14
Dustbinare you in austin?19:14
heathnope, florence, al19:14
heathhttp://tweaklabs.org/Heath+Matlock19:15
Dustbinah sorry meant Salain 19:15
heathwhat was your dissertation on?19:15
heathwhoops Dustbin, I thought you were Salain, didn't look at username :P19:15

Salainin Houston dustbin, graduated UT austin though19:16
Dustbinok19:16
Salainheath - yeah it is fine, if they add a rel="nofollow" tag to your link then google won't index it19:17
DustbinBryan and maybe a couple other people on here are Austin Hackerspace people19:17
Salainbut that is not present, so dunno19:17
heathgood point Salain19:17
SalainI miss Austin a ton19:17
Salainwill strongly consider it for my assistant professorship19:18
SalainHouston is only ayight in relation to Dallas19:19
Salainheath - tweaklabs is being spidered...19:20
heathhow can you check?19:20
Salaingoogle it19:20
Salaindifferent permutations19:20
SalainI doubt http://tweaklabs.org/_edit/CrackMe would have been linked via anything but spidering19:21
heathoh isee19:21
heathheh, i didn't search for tweaklabs.org ..can i blame it on lack of sleep again?19:22
Salainand you should be able to see it on your site traffic report, depends on your host19:22
SalainI think some site hosts like yahoo would remove it from the list, but generally you should see it19:22
heathit's not my server unfortunately.. /me checks to see if he has read access to /var/log/apache219:23
heathyup, it's been crawling.19:24
Salaingood - what made you think it wasn't?19:24
heathtime to edit the source of gitit it seems and add relevant metainfo19:24
heathtweaklabs.org isn't #1, that's why :P19:25
hundred-ideasSalain:  a friend, John Cumbers, has extolled the virtues of "making it, not taking it" on distant missions.  He is interested in using microbes to manufacture feedstocks for manufacturing and is researching cold and pressure resistant microbes.19:25
hundred-ideashe is at Nasa Ames.19:25
heathnot even on the front page of hundreds of results19:25
Salainhundred-ideas- hmm microbes, that's a twist.  Any details on what kind of feedstocks?19:27
hundred-ideasI don't know lately19:27
hundred-ideasbut plastics have been discussed, and I know some microbes can make hydrazine as a metabolic intermediate (minute quantities, so far)19:28
Salainwould be tough, I'm not familiar with many cases where you can get microbes to generate sufficiently long polymers - but who knows.19:28
hundred-ideasand gasses of course, CO2, O2, and water H2O19:28
Salainyeah, microbes are great at breaking things down - they have tiny mouths so it is important :)19:28
kanzureSalain: i would like to get in contact with your remote machine shop buddy. i think i have some interesting projects for him19:29
hundred-ideasHe is mostly researching "chassis" level qualities that might make a microbe well-suited to a space-like environment19:29
kanzurelike, stuff he might find useful19:29
kanzurebut i don't know19:29
Salainkanzure - he's in new york on vacation with his wife - but I'll holler at him when he is back in town19:29
kanzure:D19:30
kanzurewho goes to NY for vacation?19:30
kanzureO_o19:30
kanzure"yeah for vacation i hang out at the NYSE"19:30
SalainI haven't talked to him since the obama change in focus, so I don't really know how his projects are fairing with the new budget - hate to refer and find out bad shit has been going down :)19:30
kanzurehah. i'd love to do that sometime actually19:30
Salainlol, I'm going to NY for a vacation this summer...19:30
Salainfirst time going there, so doing the basics19:30
Salainmade it here via the DIYbio page - trying to figure out what laws I'd be breaking by running certain cell cultures at home19:32
Salaingarage biology info is woefully sparse19:33
kanzurewhat type of cell culture19:35
kanzureer, i mean, what species19:35
Salaindog/cat, no pathogens19:36
Salain(no viruses or bacteria along side them)19:37
SalainI think it's firmly under BSL119:37
Salain(think)19:37
Salainthen cryo stuff - liquid nitrogen, probably non-toxic cryopreservatives19:38
kanzurecryopreservation on the low-end, or cryogenics stuff?19:39
Salainhm?  cryopreserving w/ glycerol in liquid nitrogen.  No stem cells or gametes, no "real" cryogenics stuff, only bringing cells out of culture every several years to re-derive them for better preservation19:41
kanzureokay19:41
Salainpretty kosher, I think...19:41
Salainbut can't find much info at all about regulations on this in the home19:41
kanzurethere are sometimes "zoning laws"19:41
Salainmy guess is that my condo association would have hystrionics19:41
Dustbinlol19:42
Salainmaybe I can convince them I'm really addicted to liquid n2 ice cream19:42
Salainas I'm toting up 50L dewers of LN219:42
Salain(spelled histrionics, btw)19:44
katsmeow-afkwhich is a lil wierd19:45
katsmeow-afkas a byproduct of the poorly named hysterical, to misspell it with a 'i' seems wierd to me19:45
Salaindoesn't it?19:46
Salainthe online etymology dictionary says hysterical predates histrionic, which isn't surprising since the hys are pretty greek19:48
Salainright - I'd heard this before: hysterical - from the greek hysteros which means "womb".  Hysteria was originally thought to be an affectation caused by a malady in the uterus.19:49
* katsmeow-afk nods19:49
hundred-ideasyou know what they say about assuming... 19:52
kanzureit makes everyone else but me an ass?19:52
hundred-ideasIndeed, bryan, indeed :)19:53
Salainand histrio, the root of histrionics they guess comes from the etruscans - ancient italians (tuscany) that lived from 800BC-200BC.  So both roots are from the same time period, but since the greek's used only male actors it is unlikely that they made much of a connection between uteruses and acting19:53
SalainI feel edified.19:53
katsmeow-afksomeone feel Salain to verify that?19:53
