Utopiahkanzure: at one time you analyzed the referrer log of you website, did you use that to make suggestion for each visitor based on their referrer?09:54
kanzurefenn: it's google's index of all users of google09:56
kanzureUtopiah: no?09:56
Utopiahis that a question?09:57
kanzureyou might be confusing stuff together09:58
kanzurelike the time i analyzed the referrer logs09:58
kanzureversus the time i analyzed tag clouds for everyone i talked with09:58
kanzureand then made suggestions for what to talk about09:58
Utopiahtalking about #1 referrer logs, I thought it could be used to suggest pages per visitor (unrelated ot chatlogs)09:59
kanzurealso i'm busy all day today (meetings out the gazooka)10:00
kanzurei had one scheduled for even before i woke up :/10:01

QuantumGmy mate got laid off from the company at least 18 months ago.. someone recently asked him about something via an email I was cc'd into and he says "well, under my non-compete agreement I'm not allowed to work on that yet" .. I'm like "dude, you actually think that thing is enforceable?"  Being that the company is in the US and we're in Australia, and non-competes are barely legal anyway..19:16
JayDuggerThe DoD's Developing Science & Technologies List.19:16
* kanzure puts in a floppy drive19:17
kanzure*clunk*19:17
kanzurehahah19:17
JayDuggerIn the US, the non-compete's I've seen usually allow the employer to pick the venue or go directly to arbitration.19:17
kanzurethat's right! they had some mechanical snapping going on19:17
kanzurethis is ridiculous19:17
kanzurei can't believe we didn't have a fucking floppy drive19:18
JayDuggerBut, you have a good point about distance affecting enforcability.19:18
JayDuggerWhat use have you for a floppy drive?19:18
JayDuggerHolding a door open?19:18
kanzurelaser cutter printer drivers19:18
QuantumGwe have some people working at the company who are under non-competes from their last job.. and all we do is say "you can't work on this particular project"19:18
JayDuggerIt ships drivers on floppies?19:19

JayDuggerThat's the "Militarily Critical" technology list.19:21
JayDuggerMore recreational reading.19:21
fennbuilt in drives are useless - usb all the way baby!19:23
kanzureso how do i install a driver on windows? it doesn't seem to want to read data from the floppy19:24
fennfirst you have to put the disk in19:24
fennthen you double click on 'my computer'19:24
fennand then "drive A:"19:24
kanzureyes19:24
fennand?19:24
kanzurebasically i'm at the printer setup wizard thing and it wants me to select from a list of known drivers19:25
fennit should go "brrt brrt"19:25
kanzureand i go to "have disk"19:25
kanzureand then it reads the disk and it says there is no driver19:25
kanzurebut i clearly see the files on the floppy's file system19:25
fennis it some .exe installer thingy?19:25
kanzureno19:25
fennwhat are the filenames?19:26
kanzureASL810.CDR, ULS, CEMSETUP.INF, ULS2.CHM19:26
fenncdr?19:27
fenn.inf is an autorun file19:28
kanzurethis is what i get when i search for ASL810: http://www.younghanhitech.com/machinery-single_side_lapping.html19:29
kanzureyeah well it's not autorunning19:29
fenn.cdr seems to be corel draw (vector graphics file)19:29
fenni dont know how to run scripts on windows19:29
fenndo you have corel draw?19:29
fennoh, also try opening the CHM file (that's a help file)19:30
kanzureyes i know what chm is -_-19:30
kanzureit's not corel draw19:31
kanzurebecause it has shit like "unexpected heap overflow" bullshit in it19:31
kanzureand "run-time error e M6101 MATH"19:31
kanzureah you can right click on the .inf and go to "INSTALL"19:32
kanzure"Error: Installation failed"19:32
fennsudo right click install19:34
kanzureMCI.CDR19:36
kanzuremeistergram?19:41
kanzurehttp://designfiles.org/~bryan/uls.drv19:41
fennversion X.XX19:44
kanzurethere's two other floppy disks with the same exact .drv file19:45
kanzurejust with different version numbers19:46
kanzure2.73, 2.74, 2.7819:46
fenn.drv sounds like a driver19:51
fenn<- certified obvious IT profession19:51

kanzure"i am just wondering what you might do with a media empire at your back"22:55
kanzureles likes the gnusha idea but he doesn't like the idea of voting for positions23:04
kanzurei don't know what the alternative is23:04
kanzureum, a stable alternative23:04
kanzurei guess since gnusha can be replicated indefinitely it wouldn't matter if there's a relatively non-changing social structure under the hood23:05
kanzurefenn: sebastien doesn't seem cooperative half the time, so don't bother until he pings us with some actual progress23:14
fennvoting for positions? sorry i havent been paying attention to this co-op stuff at all23:17
kanzureit's how debian does it23:17
kanzurethey do internal elections for various positions IIRC23:17

kanzuresequential dropping23:17
kanzure"Shulze method"23:18
kanzureoh23:18
kanzurehttp://www.linux.com/archive/feed/42155 "However, before candidates are trusted with such tasks, they have to prove not only their programming skills, but also their understanding of Debian processes and philosophy. The process takes months, and there are few exceptions."23:19
kanzure"In particular, unknown candidates are likely to be unable to complete the first step of the process, which requires finding existing developers to recommend them."23:19

kanzure"all reprap users must read the forums, rawr!"23:23
fennactually he said "emailifcation shortly"23:31
fenni'm not sure such a thing as forum/email integration exists though23:32
fennEach forum gets its own unique email address, which only users registered on the site and assigned the permission "post by femail", may post to. For example, a forum titled "Femail issues" on this website would get the email address femail-issues@drupal.org23:36
fenni see vast bad pun potential23:37
fenn"bad pun" is redundant of course23:38
