00:04 < kanzure> fenn: i'd be happy to drop you some python scripts if you want to scrape

00:07 < ybit> i know i've seen better computer setups then this one http://freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/netsurfer-chair.jpg
00:08 < ybit> i'm looking for some type of similar style, the kind that you ly back in
00:08 < ybit> er, lie
00:09 < fenn> i am attempting to understand why you linked to that youtube video
00:10 < ybit> kanzure: drop me some scripts because you just want to
00:10 < kanzure> fenn: well, i was complaining to someone about STL
00:10 < fenn> heh ybit i dunno about having the case directly between my legs
00:10 < kanzure> and they thought i needed some "triangle therapy"
00:10 < ybit> fenn: yeah, that's terrible
00:11 < ybit> i just know though that i've seen some type of 'futuristic' setup what would be comfortable
00:11 < ybit> s/what/that
00:13 < kanzure> ybit: http://designfiles.org/~bryan/okcupid/
00:13 < kanzure> you'll have to do some work, they aren't stand-alone
00:13 < kanzure> i.e. make a few directories and files probably
00:15 < fenn> what do these scripts do exactly?
00:15 < fenn> plot things in an easy to read format?
00:15 < ybit> kanzure: #madscientists really?
00:15 < kanzure> profile_viewer.py uses the search tool and visits all of the profiles
00:15 < ybit> all the real scientists are hanging with me in #angryscientists :)
00:16 < kanzure> interestingly enough, a percentage (about 10%) of everyone viewed tends to look at your profile in return
00:16 < kanzure> profile_viewer.py also saves a list of usernames
00:16 < ybit> fenn: yes it is dead
00:16 < kanzure> rater.py then goes through and collects per-user specific data, like match %, friend %, enemy %, etc.
00:17 < kanzure> get_num_answered_questions.py then goes through *yet again* (on a separate page) to figure out how many questions the user answered
00:17 < kanzure> this way you can sort by the number of questions they answered
00:17 < kanzure> i.e. someone with a 98% match doesn't really matter if they only answered 2 questions
00:17 < kanzure> but okcupid only gives you that feature if you pay them money
00:17 < kanzure> obviously i disagreed with their philosophy on that one
00:17 < fenn> yeah that's weak
00:18 < kanzure> visualizer.py just spits it out into the http://designfiles.org/~bryan/okcupid/match.data format.. basically just sorted by one of the data points
00:18 < fenn> not that any of these questions were worth answering
00:18 < kanzure> but i was hoping to do a heat map, or other interesting things
00:18 < fenn> i figure you could do better by astrological sign
00:18 < kanzure> hm?
00:18 < fenn> or blood type, or year sign
00:19 < kanzure> actually when i sorted and selected by "Working on a masters program" or "PhD program" and age<22 i got some pretty neat results
00:19 < fenn> you know, something that might actually have predictive power in determining whether you hate the other person or not
00:19 < kanzure> oh, you can do that too
00:19 < kanzure> i mean, they don't let you filter stuff out, only filter stuff in
00:19 < kanzure> which is also pretty weak
00:19 < kanzure> i wanted to do -"fucked up" on the keyword search, but alas
00:20 < fenn> there are keywords?
00:21 < kanzure> on the search page you can add a parameter or two.. but it's not a real search imho
00:26 < ybit> look at how uncomfortable that setup is, i wouldn't last 5 mins: http://192.168.1.4/images/carnosaur2_1.png
00:26 < ybit> http://ybit.ath.cx/images/carnosaur2_1.png
00:28 < fenn> was that on stargate-sg1?
00:28 < fenn> the one where daniel takes over the planet and nukes russia
00:30 < QuantumG> it had to be done, I had his back
00:31 < ybit> fenn: carnosaur
00:32 < ybit> i know there was something like this as a computer setup: http://www.geekologie.com/2007/05/energy-pod.jpg
00:33 < kanzure> hm fenn is a 33 year old man
00:33 < kanzure> from rochdale, uk
00:33 < kanzure> he develops web2.0 CMS bullshit O.o and likes to pretend to speak japanese

00:38 < fenn> hang on let me hook a stranger up to an fmri machine and see what they're thinking

00:39 < ybit> that doesn't look luxurious, it looks painful
00:39 < fenn> i had this dentist's chair for a while, with a swing out arm and hydraulic position adjustments
00:39 < fenn> turns out it's hard to sit on a dentist's chair and do anything but lay there
00:40 < fenn> there's not enough leverage to torque your body
00:40 < fenn> so you end up scrambling like a turtle on its back
00:41 < ybit> i'm lyind down flat on my back right now, it's highly comfortable
00:41 < fenn> o rly
00:41 < ybit> yes
00:41 < fenn> i have scientifically proven that what you claim is impossible
00:41 < ybit> the only annoying thing is having to prop the netbook up with my palms
00:41 < fenn> aha! the truth comes out
00:42 < ybit> yes, my legs are curved and my back isn't completely straight, it's kind of what you see in these links
00:42 < ybit> but it's as close to flat on the back as you would imagine :P
00:43 < ybit> and now i'm on my belly
00:43 < ybit> thus the conundrum, i need a comfortable computing setup

05:57 < fenn> "Imagine that scientists create a new drug. When swallowed as a pill, it will completely and permanently eliminate feelings of guilt for prior events. Testing reveals that there are no harmful medical side effects. How should this pill be distributed?"
05:58 < fenn> a) Over the counter to anyone who wants it. b) By doctor's prescription only. c) It should not be distributed at all.
05:58 < JayDugger> In the drinking water, worldwide.
05:59 < fenn> e) in the drinking fountains at catholic schools
05:59 < JayDugger> It'd resemble baptism for the remission of sins, for everyone who took.
05:59 < JayDugger> Except it'd work.
05:59 < JayDugger> We could make it a national holiday, "Forgiveness Day," and replace one of the pre-existing stupidities, like Christmas.
05:59 < JayDugger> </cynic>
06:01 < fenn> hey christmas is fun
06:01 < fenn> hanging strips of torn apart human sacrifices on a tree, what could be better than that
06:01 < JayDugger> I don't celebrate it.
06:01 < JayDugger> Seriously...it's a holiday for Christians and for children.
06:02 < JayDugger> I don't belong to either category anymore. I can give gifts on birthdays. I can see my family any time Skype works.
06:03 < JayDugger> Oh, and I can eat a turkey dinner any day of the year.

06:06 < fenn> too bad we don't do songkran in the US
06:06 < JayDugger> What's that holiday mark?
06:07 < fenn> massive summer squirtguns/water balloons/girls in wet t-shirts
06:07 < JayDugger> Oh, it's a Thai holiday.
06:07 < fenn> hell if i know the historical significance
06:07 < JayDugger> Thai New Year, according to Wikipedia.
06:08 < JayDugger> I think we call it "Spring Break in Daytona."

09:03 < kanzure> yes 
09:03 < kanzure> is it ok if it arrives to you by the emaihlz

14:45 < kanzure> also, i guess that is lowki- it matches his style
14:46 < fenn> huh?
14:46 < fenn> lowki is a druggie idiot, not a link spammer
14:46 < kanzure> the spam bots tend to rape a wiki like that, "over and over again"
14:46 < kanzure> and the poetry on seasteading.org matches lowki's style
