| 00:00.14 | romanovic | learning english, career help, etc. |
| 00:00.52 | aeryndunham | I really would like to help them.... and I feel like my current armchair humanitarianis isn't really helping anybody |
| 00:01.17 | aeryndunham | *armchair humanitarianism |
| 00:03.37 | romanovic | http://www.mormonnewsroom.org/article/church-members-encouraged-assist-refugees |
| 00:12.55 | aeryndunham | I read that when it came out; I really like that the church was calling for that |
| 00:13.04 | aeryndunham | when so many Christian groups seemed to be so anti-refugee |
| 00:13.28 | romanovic | I'm just glad there are people who lay the groundwork (religious or not) and assume some personal risk in order to move resources across the world to people who need it |
| 00:15.31 | aeryndunham | Yeah... and people combatting this ugly pervasive attitude among some people that refugees are dangerous |
| 00:15.39 | romanovic | providing a way for the rest of us to pool resources without travelling personally to refugee camps... |
| 00:16.32 | romanovic | Yeah, like the skittles comparison. That was a poor illustration and clearly not data-based |
| 00:16.45 | aeryndunham | That was horrible |
| 00:17.14 | aeryndunham | I don't understand how any human can see other humans suffering so much just because of where they were born and not be moved to do something |
| 00:17.18 | aeryndunham | But I guess I'm just naive |
| 00:25.18 | aeryndunham | anywho |
| 00:25.42 | aeryndunham | I'm also watching emails bounce back and forth between two peope from our head office and I think this might get ugly, it's fascianting |
| 00:25.52 | aeryndunham | someone broke something and someone else is trying to make them fix it |
| 00:47.27 | resplin | Did things work out with your boyfriend over the server outage due to the log file? |
| 00:49.05 | aeryndunham | The company that supplies the software found a problem in a script that is supposed to keep that log to a reasonable size |
| 00:49.27 | aeryndunham | And the senior management did have enough sense to realize that Chris is really good at what he does and this was a really unfortunate accident |
| 00:49.40 | resplin | That's good to hear. |

| 23:32.25 | aeryndunham | Good evening! |
| 23:34.00 | resplin | Good evening. |
| 23:34.58 | aeryndunham | resplin: How are you? |
| 23:35.04 | aeryndunham | Thanks for the botmail |
| 23:35.20 | resplin | I'm glad to hear that it worked. |
| 23:35.45 | aeryndunham | It did! How did you send that? |
| 23:35.54 | resplin | timryker's ibot can only handle one message at a time. I should probably park my bot here as it can handle more messages. |
| 23:36.20 | resplin | "~botmail for aeryndunham: this is the message" |
| 23:36.26 | resplin | ~botmail for aeryndunham: this is the message |
| 23:36.33 | aeryndunham | When I get better at programming I would like to write an IRC bot |
| 23:36.40 | aeryndunham | ah |
| 23:36.43 | aeryndunham | thanks! |
| 23:38.14 | resplin | I didn't actually write an IRC bot. There are lots of open source bots out there to start with. I just wrote a plugin, and then run the bot. |
| 23:38.18 | resplin | https://community.alfresco.com/docs/DOC-6193-irc-chat#jive_content_id_Alfbot |
| 23:38.28 | aeryndunham | very cool! |
| 23:38.41 | resplin | You could probably do that today. |
| 23:39.03 | resplin | I started with Limnoria because I like Python3. But there are bots in all sorts of languages. |
| 23:39.08 | aeryndunham | I'm working on a little website for work tonight |
| 23:39.16 | aeryndunham | I haven't done any programming in ages though |
| 23:39.37 | aeryndunham | I was getting distracted from my sensible Python study by impractical languages |
| 23:41.13 | resplin | Impractical? Have you picked up OCamal? |
| 23:41.23 | aeryndunham | haha no |
| 23:41.30 | resplin | Oh look, I mispelled it. |
| 23:41.31 | aeryndunham | But I was playing with Haskell and Scala |
| 23:41.32 | resplin | OCaml. |
| 23:41.41 | aeryndunham | google ocaml |
| 23:41.46 | resplin | Yeah, I would lump Haskell in the same category. |
| 23:42.03 | aeryndunham | Haskell is very fun |
| 23:42.34 | resplin | I would call Scala "practical", though it isn't widely used in industry. |
| 23:42.59 | resplin | I haven't spent much time with any of those. But I think it is a good use of time, as they will bend your mind is productive ways. |
| 23:43.07 | aeryndunham | Yeah, that's my thought |
| 23:44.11 | aeryndunham | Hmm, I'm trying to add a Google search bar to a site... not to search that site, just a regular 'search the whole internet' google bar and this is apparently hard |
| 23:45.45 | resplin | It used to be easy, but the changed their API about two years ago and made it much harder. |
| 23:46.23 | aeryndunham | Our internet system brings passenger to Google by default, except most of them don't know what to do with that "I wanted AOL!" so I'm trying to create some sort of landing page |
| 23:46.27 | aeryndunham | that also includes a Google search bar |
| 23:46.39 | aeryndunham | because they definitely don't understand how to search from the URL bar |
| 23:54.17 | romanovic | I feel like we had great success making python converts of coworkers in the last couple of weeks. |
| 23:54.46 | aeryndunham | haha hooray! |
| 23:54.51 | aeryndunham | I thought everyone liked Python? |
| 23:55.23 | romanovic | We've been working on a much-needed CLI script, and our architect went from "Let's stick with powershell or even .bat, and c#, for everything" to "Python is amazing and all of our CLI scripting needs to be python moving forward" |
| 23:56.28 | romanovic | everyone does! you can do anything with python! |
| 23:56.40 | romanovic | just try opening a python interactive shell and type "import antigravity" |
| 23:56.57 | romanovic | human flight! |
