fennmatty G is in austin this weekend, probably busy though06:38
fennmore likely than going faster than light is those neutrinos are just going through naturally occurring time portals06:41
fennor wormholes, whatever06:41
fennthere sure are a lot of names on that paper06:42
kanzureit's actually just one person with a really long name07:06

kanzurewhat useful wavelengths match the length of my leg?07:47
kanzurei need to start naming all of my projects after dangerous chemicals08:01
kanzuredimethylhydrazine.py08:02
phrykI decided to give somewhat nonsensical names that reflect the overall code-quality.08:35
phryklike shitocide and lizardsnot08:36
kanzuremaybe pokemon names08:43
fennoh, "1.0000248 times as fast as light" not "2.48 times as fast as light"09:30
fennright, back to my original prediction, instrumentation error09:30
fenni mean really, what's the chance that something got so close to exactly the speed of light but for some unknown reason is slightly different?09:31
fennalso, nagaland09:31
fennhas anyone ever heard of nagaland? the country09:31
fennor something like that09:31
fenni think i want to go there and spread the good word09:32
fenndoggie style (reverse missionary)09:32
fennfucking capital is 90% baptist09:33
fennhttp://xkcd.com/955/09:35

fenntoday i made a glow in the dark volleyball11:12
fennone sec, will take a picture11:13
kanzuretoday i met this guy: http://pokanalysis.ubitux.fr/11:17
kanzurethen wrote mountains of code that nobody will ever appreciate11:17

kanzurei wish more things looked like that11:26
fennwell let's just coat everything with glow in the dark goo11:27
fennthis stuff is actually pretty bright: http://fennetic.net/irc/glow_goo.jpg11:30
fennthink i should use silicone caulk next time instead of shoe goo11:31
fenn"cerulean blue..."11:36

fennmore glowy crap http://fennetic.net/irc/glow_fern_spine.jpg12:09
fenni guess the main problem with being too smart is there's no down time12:13
fennyou never get a chance to catch up on little things or boring work for the parents or whatever12:13
fennand waiting in line is maddening12:13
fennthere's a constant stream of awesome ideas12:14
fennjust writing down the night's thoughts takes up half the day12:14
fennbut these days kids expect perfectly rendered architectural "concept" portfolios for every pitch12:14
kanzurethe trick is to just get faster at making those perfect pitches12:15
kanzurechurn 'em out12:15
kanzurethe takes-too-long-to-write thing is why i don't blog12:16
fenni'm considering blogging12:16
kanzureyou already have significant overhead with your minute log12:16
fenntoo hard to figure out what to do with all the content12:16
fennminute log is background process12:16
kanzurehaha no it's not12:16
fennthat's one thing i havent caught up on12:16
fenntranscribing into computer12:16
fennnobody can read my handwriting either12:16
kanzuremeetlog.txt is verging on 3MB12:18
kanzureof mostly handwritten data12:18
fenntrouble is it takes like an hour to do a drawing and there's 97 items12:19
fennmost of which would take at least 20 minutes to explain wtf i'm on about12:19
fennwith hand-waving12:19
fennhttp://fennetic.net/irc/collective_conscious_zero12:20
fennsorry 92 items12:20
kanzurecarl jung! bleh12:20
kanzuredavid pearce? bleh bleh12:20
kanzurehe has his new campaign out called "zero state"12:20
kanzureso he's spamming all the transhumanists about it12:21
kanzureit's really lame.12:21
fennyes that's funny, how long has that been going?12:21
fennif i believed in a state i might be interested, but i'm not12:22
fennthe whole site's politics, wtf are they thinking12:22
fennthe whole point of anarchism is you get to do the interesting stuff instead12:22
kanzuremore of the same12:22
kanzurethey have lost sight of what is interesting12:22
fennwho is they12:23
kanzurei could draw up a list of names of transhumanists i guess12:23
fennwho is zero state? i mean who is actually writing the lame hierarchies etc12:24
kanzurehey so phillip torrone and bruce perens have been going at it over email12:24
kanzurethey really hate each other12:24
fenngood for them12:24
kanzurefenn: david pearce i think. i think he has some people involved though.12:24
kanzurefenn: well, about open source hardware specifically12:24
fennwell, torrone actually knows something in that area12:24
fennperens invented "spime" and ...?12:25
kanzuretheir discussions are primarily about licensing12:25
fennsorry that was bruce sterling12:25
fennwho the fuck is bruce perens?12:25
kanzureopen source institute guy12:25
kanzurehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Perens12:25
fennok i guess i maintained that hash collision for 5 years12:25
fennbruce *er* something something open source12:26
kanzuremumle mumble12:26
kanzurephillip's writing style really gets on my nerves because it seems like he's constantly condescending and the feely-good-kiss-your-ass type12:27
kanzurebut on the other hand he's raking in huge amounts of cash.. good for him i guess12:27
fennwhat list is this on btw? or just twit-o-sphere mishmash?12:27
kanzurei mean the type that likes to gain ground by implying that everybody except him isn't a team player12:27
kanzurethis is on the updates@openhardwaresummit.org list12:27
kanzurei've been forward interesting non-inflammatory snippits to openmanufacturing12:28
kanzure*forwarding12:28
kanzurehttp://groups.google.com/group/openmanufacturing12:28
fenn"Tiberius Brastaviceanu" seriously?12:28
kanzurei think he's a troll12:29
kanzureit's realy weird because phillip keeps offering to bruce "hey i'll publish your stuff if you'd only write about it dude in make magazine"12:32
kanzurelike he needs help or something..12:32
kanzurei mean, implying that bruce's problem is lack of publicity, rather than lack-of-phillip-understanding or something12:32
kanzureanyway.. boring stuff ultimately12:33
fenni tend to agree with kuniholm re: hardware licenses12:33
kanzurehey are you ever gonna write more code for anything12:33
fennunknown12:33
kanzureit's yes or no fenn12:33
fenni'm not that smart yet12:33
kanzuredon't become steve12:33
fenni mean, i can guess at things but i can't predict the future12:33
fennaw man but i wanted his cool wraparound yellow glasses12:34
kanzurecan you come up with rational-sounding complex motivation hierarchies and espound upon them in long sentences?12:34
fenn"tis support systems all the way down"12:35
fennwould you like a candy, my boy?12:35
kanzurerawr setBackgroundColor isn't setting background color (!)12:35
fennbecause you're not looking at the background12:35
fennprobably a square on top of the background12:36
fennthat's how they do things these days no? paste random divs everywhere and hope for the best?12:36
kanzureit's android xml layout stuff12:36
kanzurebut yeah it's actually a bunch of images layered on top of each other12:36
kanzureeach image is transparent except for some marking of a certain type12:37
kanzurewhen you combine them you see a car and where to cut with jaws of life12:37
fennoh12:37
kanzureor where the batteries are and where the fuel tanks are12:37
fennand the background is a color?12:37
kanzurethe background is set on a java widget thing12:37
kanzurehaha maybe i will load a solid background color image12:38
kanzuregod12:38
fennworse is better remember?12:38
fennactually i think this is the more orthogonal solution12:39
fennfor what that's worth12:39
kanzurei also haven't slept in a few days so that's probably also the problem12:39
kanzuremaybe i have my hex wrong.. 0x000000 is still black right?12:39
fennmaybe they want #00000012:40
fennor "black"12:40
kanzureit's a hex object integer thing12:40
kanzure#000000 isn't valid java12:40
fenni thought you said it was xml12:40
kanzure"black" would be cool except they don't believe in strings in this part of the api12:40
kanzureyeah there's an xml part and there's this code part that changes the background color (setBackgroundColor)12:40
kanzurethe xml can't be updated12:41
kanzureso if you want things to change or be different, you change things on your own12:41
fennwhat, a variable?! i thought those went out of style12:41
fennwe all decided to separate content and presentation and then got rid of the code layer12:42
fenni mean, code and content, i mean, wait..12:42
fennah i've got it.12:42
fenn"the medium is the message."12:42
kanzureyour mom is the message12:43

QuantumGI had one good experience playing Second Life so I quit23:57
QuantumGI knew it was entirely mundane and lame, so I quit while I was ahead.23:57
joshcryerI met some really nice people but the technology, I'm just unimpressed.23:57
QuantumGI was flying around the world and decided to follow a river. I saw something in the middle of the river and figured I'd go down to have a look.. it was some sort of floating platform.. so I set down and looked around.23:59
