JayDuggerI just noticed that VLC does screen recording.02:36
JayDuggerIt also very nicely captures video from my webcam.02:36
JayDuggerThis makes it pretty easy to synchronize my point of attention by eye gaze and mouse tracking (IOGraph) with the desktop screen capture.02:38
JayDuggerAny ideas on how to use that in some constructive fashion?02:38
JayDuggerI haven't the skill to see how to use it for UI improvement, such as eye tracking or gesture recognition.02:38
JayDuggerIt could serve for remote troubleshooting. E.g., your mother calls with some computer problem. You ask her what time the problem happened, and then playback the files that span her problem.02:49
JayDuggerYou can then see what happened on screen, and you can also see the simultaneous facial expression. This lets you tell where she became confused.02:50
JayDuggerThat has obvious privacy problems.02:51

Utopiahthe kind of practical use I had with a webcam on myself was a software to track head position and see if you are well seated and warn you when you are not but I didn't explore that a lot anyway03:04
JayDuggerI used IOGraph, but it told me very little. I think this happens because I touch-type and because I use xmonad, a tiling window manager.03:05
JayDuggerI'd like to replace my keyboard with an overhead camera that watches my hands. That doesn't seem quite practical yet.03:07
JayDuggerGack...and Firefox 4 breaks all my most useful extensions.03:09
JayDuggerhttp://flic.kr/p/82F3q203:12
JayDuggerThat shows a day's worth of IOgraph output.03:12

Guest62404Good morning08:14
JayDuggerGood morning.08:16
kanzureoh boy.. h+ is now claiming that i'm "unprofessional" for not indefinitely fixing bugs on the hplusmagazine.com work08:25
kanzurewe didn't even have a contract08:26
JayDugger"Get it writing." It's an adage for a reason.08:30
kanzure"Half of the work my company Novamente LLC does for customers is donevia "handshake" arrangements without contracts."09:00
kanzure"The magazine is crap now, and it is YOUR fault"09:00
kanzurethen pay me to fix it?09:00
JayDugger...09:00
kanzurei don't really want to work for goertzel, he is being extremely hostile09:00
JayDuggerNovamente's business practices don't necessarily set a precedent.09:00
kanzureoh well. always get a contract upfront09:01
JayDuggerLesson learned?09:01
kanzureit's unfortunate that he thinks negatively of me now09:01
kanzurebut it's worrisome that he's furious- he might hurt himself09:01
JayDuggerAnd that's your responsibility?09:01
kanzurenope09:01
JayDuggerThere you go.09:01
kanzuremaybe i should tell h+ that i'm "leaving" them09:02
kanzureand that when goertzel is gone i'd be happy to consider any formal contracting arrangements09:02
JayDuggerGive it a day or two. That will give you a chance to avoid making a mistake in haste.09:03
kanzure(actually, i don't think i would be)09:03
JayDuggerYou might not, true. It becomes even less likely if you exercise patience.09:03
kanzureit's a little weird though, why didn't ben insist on a contract?09:03
kanzureif he really has all that business experience, he should know better09:04
JayDuggerBad habit on his part?09:04
kanzureand he probably does, which means he purposefully put me in this situation09:04
kanzuredisappointing..09:04
-!- klafka [~textual@cpe-66-66-10-44.rochester.res.rr.com] has quit [Quit: Computer has gone to sleep.]09:04
JayDuggerThat's plausible speculation, but not necessarily a deduction.09:04
JayDuggerMan...I feel like Eliza.09:04
kanzure"And how does that make you feel?"09:05
JayDuggerLike I should stop wasting bandwidth and start the emacs server. :)09:05
kanzureso the normal contract that i use is the typical one for companies/corporations09:07
kanzurewhere they own all of the resulting "IP"09:07
kanzurefor a non-profit, i'm not so sure what that contract would've looked like09:07
JayDuggerWhy change it?09:07
kanzurebecause non-profits don't have the same contracting requirements, presumably09:08
JayDuggerI've not done non-profit work.09:08
JayDuggerI can't talk with any knowledge.09:11
kanzurewut? i wonder what the paper says09:20

Daekentom_mccabe: welcome! :)17:42
kanzureDaeken: we're trying to figure out a way for humanity+ to give fenn money without micromanaging him or fucking him over17:43
Daekenfor what?17:43
kanzureopen source wearable computer + heads-up display / scouter17:43
Daekenahh, i see17:43
tom_mccabeI personally would not micromanage anyone (I don't have the time, quite frankly ;) )17:44
tom_mccabeBut be warned that there is a lot of politics on the Humanity+ Board17:44
kanzureyeah, so avoiding the politics would be important17:44
kanzure(otherwise h+ is useless)17:44
kanzurei.e. it'd be easier to just raise the money through other channels17:44
kanzuretom_mccabe: btw, the new link to the projects is this:17:45
kanzureer, to my projects list i gave you a while back17:45
kanzurehttp://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/diytranshuman_projects.v4.html17:47
tom_mccabe@kanzure: Right, got it17:53

kanzure(they also asked me to do a "lightning talk")18:09
Daekenkanzure: a lightning talk would be cool, really.  means less padding ;)18:09
kanzureok. email natasha@natasha.cc18:10
