kanzurefenn: bre_pettis.stlk is not in any particular format07:54
kanzureit shows mutual friends between a given target and all my other friends07:54
kanzureso, bre_pettis.stlk was with target=bre and everything with the '*****' prefix is a friend of bre07:55
kanzurethen, lines beginning with friends/ indicates that the person named immediately after the 'friends/' token has the same friend as prefixed with '*****' above07:55
kanzureso: bre is friends with 'aaron tang' and doug, max, and russell are friends with 'aaron' (in particular, i am friends with doug, max and russell)07:56

kanzureany ideas for recommendations to give to alex lightman for h+ summit 2010? re: speakers to invite09:38
kanzurehe wants me to do a presentation again09:39
Redeemer_2When is the next H+ summit?09:49
ybit2Redeemer_2: /me thinks the details are on facebook09:52
ybit2citizen science is the theme09:52
ybit2or was that the meetup that was held in march?09:53
Redeemer_2June AND December, interesting.09:54
Redeemer_2Well hopefully I can score myself a better job at the local airport and get some flight benefits to catch em both09:56
Redeemer_2Maybe even get myself in as a speaker for the December event09:57
kanzurewhat would you speak about09:59
kanzuregoogle:"how to spend more money" sadly doesn't return many appropriate results10:05
Redeemer_2Likely on the effects of oxidation effects and oxygen therapy on living aerobic organisms as a method of life enhancement and longevity enhancement.10:05
Redeemer_2More importantly, ways it can be done safely and effectively by your average person, and multiple studies' results put together into data I can fit into a 20-30 minute talk, perhaps even one of my own studies with say, mice if I can manage it.10:07
kanzurehave you seen this yet? http://designfiles.org/papers/longevity/10:08
Redeemer_2Excellent, stuff to read while I have nothing else to do, I thank thee10:11

egesteSteve Regester10:45
egesteI prefer to go by egeste on the interbutts tho10:45
kanzureunderstandable10:46
kanzureso, i've proposed something to les10:46
kanzurebasically the austin hackerspace (aka, martin/matt/mike) is renting out space from les10:46
kanzureand some other people are renting out space from les10:46
kanzureit would be really absolutely stupid for me to have to pay membership fees to AHS just for the privelege of screwing over les10:46
kanzureso, i'm thinking of asking him to make it a requirement that other people in the shop are made either board members or given free membership or something10:47
kanzureit's kind of silly that AHS is trying to do a hackerspace within a hackerspace10:47
kanzureand it's *really* confusing10:47
Dustbinit is a bit confusing10:49
kanzureactually i should correct myself- i already sent that email to les10:51
kanzuresuggesting it.10:51
egestemeh, if I can stay out of the beaurocracy I will - I would rather just show up and help get shit done10:53

kanzureegeste: easy for you to say10:54
kanzureegeste: i'm worried that they will fuck over les10:54
kanzurei mean, he doesn't even get a mention on the wiki10:54
kanzurewtf10:54
egesteI don't know that I can say anything intelligent on the issue, not having a full understanding of what the current situation is10:56
kanzurei think "AHS is a hackerspace within a hackerspace" is a good way of putting it. i don't think there's much more to it.10:58
kanzureanyway, i'll try to fix things and this won't be an issue11:01
kanzureso your instinct to ignore it is a good one11:01
kanzuredid you check out any of the links i gave?11:01

parolang<fenn> parolang: have you considered that you might have a hearing disorder? <-- I actually have a lot of evidence that it is ADHD or something very similar to it.13:44
parolangIt's not *just* the listening to people thing.13:44
egestemarijuana = best ADD medication13:45
parolangAs strange as it sounds, other than ritalin when I was a kid, I've never used any drugs.13:46
parolangI don't drink nor smoke either.13:46
parolangI use a lot of caffiene, if that counts :)13:47
parolangBut I'm actually trying to be more successful at work/school, so showing up stoned doesn't sound like a winner to me :)13:47
egesteoh man13:48
egestei disagree13:48
egesteshowing up stoned and kicking ass is how to do it13:48
parolangheh :)13:48
egesteI'm big fan of respecting quality of work and completely ignoring just about everything else13:49
egesteI don't really care that our lead deveoper stings like kimchi and never bathes, he gets shit done13:50

kanzureany suggestions for the laser cutter and windows?17:12
kanzureit has never done vector mode and always wants to do raster17:12
kanzurewhen it is explicitly set into vector mode, "start job" just makes it beep twice17:12
kanzurein raster/vector mode, it always chooses raster17:12
kanzurein raster mode the result is rastered of course17:12
