| 02:46.24 | nick125_lappy | the guy at qwest is going to call the CO and have them run some line tests, then, call me back |
| 02:46.31 | nick125_lappy | (hopefully someone at the CO will call back) |
| 03:09.51 | elg | i always wonder what the people at the CO do |
| 03:09.56 | elg | probably sit around all day playing cards |
| 03:11.06 | nick125_lappy | Or sit around "oooo, I wonder what this wire does?" all day |
| 03:11.06 | tene | or WoW |
| 03:12.45 | elg | or run kazaa |
| 03:13.09 | elg | i wonder what a CO looks like. I always imagine a little concrete hut with no windows |
| 03:13.40 | nick125_lappy | elg: I live pretty close to the CO here, it's a building with 2 windows (near the door) and a bunch of qwest trucks outside |
| 03:14.01 | elg | well, I guess it looks kind of like this: http://www.bell-labs.com/history/physicscomm/blizzard.html |

| 03:18.23 | findlay | I just played most or all of the movements from each of the 6 unaccompanied suites |
| 03:18.43 | elg | by whom? |
| 03:18.50 | findlay | J.S. Bach |
| 03:19.11 | elg | good choice |
| 03:20.32 | elg | i just played carcassone while also reading about four books to my son |
| 03:20.32 | findlay | it's my daily breead |
| 03:20.32 | elg | daily breed? |
| 03:20.32 | findlay | you mean the chacone? |

| 03:20.32 | findlay | from the 2nd partita |
| 03:21.36 | findlay | I'm always envious of the violin sonotas and partitas. Someday I'll have my own violin so I can revel in them |
| 03:22.42 | elg | someday I'll actually be able to play one percent of the bach organ works |
| 03:23.01 | elg | probably the same somedecade that I have an organ in my house |
| 03:23.36 | nick125_lappy | MPD hates me |

| 03:23.54 | nick125_lappy | Hmm |
| 03:24.11 | findlay | I get to practice an hour on the organ on MWF after school |
| 03:27.42 | findlay | my literature for each instrument is I'm afraid quite exclusive, just Bach |
| 03:33.32 | elg | bach (and hymns) is all I play on the organ |
| 03:33.45 | elg | life's too short to waste time on anything else :) |
| 03:34.06 | elg | when I've learned all my favorite bach pieces I might move on |
| 03:45.38 | findlay | there's some good French romantic music for organ |

| 03:48.55 | findlay | elg: you should listen to some Saint-Saens or Czar Franck |
| 03:49.32 | levi_home | IIRC, I like Saint-Saens. |
| 03:50.02 | levi_home | But then, I like Debussy, too. |
| 03:50.19 | levi_home | Some of Debussy, at least. |

| 03:59.09 | elg | levi_home: nope, don't much like debussy either it makes ok background music |
| 03:59.13 | elg | jacob loves it though |
| 04:03.19 | levi_home | Hmm, the only Romantic stuff I've got handy is a Rachmaninoff piano concerto. |

| 04:45.24 | findlay | heh, at least Rachmanninov isn't French |
| 04:45.40 | levi_home | I love Rachmaninoff. I'm listening to his Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. |
| 04:45.54 | elg | mmmmm, that's a most excellent bit of work |
| 04:46.11 | elg | you have the whole thing? or just the little groundhog day snippet? |
| 04:46.31 | levi_home | It's 24 minutes... I think it's the whole thing. |
| 04:46.46 | levi_home | I have a couple different versions of it, actually, but I like this one better. |
| 04:47.03 | elg | yeah, the 18th variation is only a short bit |
| 04:47.08 | findlay | I like his first symphony |
| 04:47.08 | elg | the rest is very much more lively |
| 04:47.18 | findlay | and the Symphonic Dances |
| 04:47.31 | levi_home | I just got to the 18th variation, though, if it's the one I think it is. |
| 04:47.54 | findlay | speaking of varations, the Enigma varaions are good |
| 04:48.14 | levi_home | I think I may have heard those on the radio a while ago, but I'm not sure. |

| 05:10.13 | rsimpkins | I need a link management doo-hicky. |
| 05:11.27 | findlay | hard, soft, or quantum links? |
| 05:12.13 | rsimpkins | http links. |
| 05:12.38 | rsimpkins | I don't want bookmarks- i want SUPER-STEROID bookmarks. |
| 05:14.25 | findlay | no, bookmarks should contain all the necessary information like session id, complete user agent ID and Shakespeare sonnet no. XXXII |
| 05:15.35 | rsimpkins | All i want is a page of links to stuff I use, and a way to categorize, reorder, add, delete, etc. |
| 05:16.03 | rsimpkins | Someone has to have written something like that. Just a question of finding it. I'm searching freshmeat but so far have come up dry. |
| 05:18.44 | levi_home | elg: My Interpersonal Communications textbook chapter on emotions. |

| 05:19.57 | rsimpkins | What do you guys use to manage your bookmarks? |
| 05:20.04 | rsimpkins | There are proably 100-200 sites I'd like to track and organize. |
| 05:21.09 | elg | i don't track anything that's not syndicated (RSS or Atom), except in rare circumstances |
| 05:23.58 | findlay | rsimpkins: I'm lazy and rely on location bar completion, history, and well-placed google queries |
| 05:24.09 | findlay | I haven't made a bookmark since 1998 |
| 05:24.31 | findlay | and my own fabulous memory (-: |
| 05:25.19 | rsimpkins | see, that is my problem. My memory is absolutly horrid. And I move computers a lot, so i need a central repo. |
| 05:25.19 | tene | what was the last bookmark you made? |

| 05:26.54 | findlay | tene: don't remember. I never made a useful scheme out of them. I realized by that time I had other, better ways of remembering stuff I'd seen on the www |
| 05:27.17 | elg | rsimpkins: i have used backpack in the past, but it was a bit klunky for bookmark mgmt |
| 05:27.22 | elg | backpackit.com |
| 05:27.36 | tene | findlay: so how do you know that it was '98? |
| 05:27.41 | findlay | rsimpkins: have you searched through firefox extensions? |
| 05:28.17 | rsimpkins | findlay: It has got to me LAMP driven so I can get at it on the 4 systems I use on a regular basis. |
| 05:28.28 | findlay | tene: I'm not sure, but that's about as close as I can remember although I can't remember specifically what my last bookmarked page was |

| 17:14.12 | goozbach | that's a bit of an old article, when did they interview you? |
| 17:14.25 | redbeard1 | goozbach: about a month or two before it was written |
| 17:14.39 | goozbach | and will they do the second part where you re-reboot your carreer, back into the geek sector? |

| 17:16.03 | levi | redbeard1: Yeah, you just couldn't stay away from the computers. :) |
| 17:17.23 | levi | findlay: Funny, I could have sworn we've been using LinuxBIOS on all sorts of mainboards for years... |
| 17:17.57 | findlay | levi: but can you get a mainboard from Newegg that runs LinuxBIOS? |
| 17:18.16 | levi | If you buy one that's got LinuxBIOS support, yeah. |
| 17:18.39 | levi | You have to flash it on, but you'd have to do that if you changed anything anyway. |
| 17:18.55 | goozbach | can you buy a pre-flashed linuxBIOS board? |
| 17:19.00 | goozbach | THAT is the question |
| 17:19.03 | findlay | I thought all LinuxBIOS-supported boards were high end, niche supercomputer boards |
| 17:19.37 | levi | findlay: They're typically high-end, but they're part of typical manufacturer's product lines. Server boards, not custom supercomputer boards. |
| 17:20.00 | findlay | so no board under $200 (: |
| 17:21.09 | levi | Well, it's cool that they're doing this, it just doesn't seem as momentous to me as the article seems to suggest. |
| 17:21.33 | redbeard1 | http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813128014&ATT=13-128-014&CMP=OTC-B1zrat3 |
| 17:21.39 | redbeard1 | that's the board |
| 17:22.33 | redbeard1 | < $200 |
| 17:26.11 | findlay | I'm just excited because I think an open BIOS makes things more flexible and fun |
| 17:29.22 | levi | Well, there hasn't been anything preventing anyone from porting LinuxBIOS to a cheaper board before. It's not trivial, but neither would be modifying LinuxBIOS on a board that comes with it. |
| 17:29.25 | findlay | I doubt it comes pre-flashed |

| 18:10.30 | maquis | bonez39: what are you using? |
| 18:10.51 | findlay | bonez39: sorry I don't know much about it. I prefer to rip my music with perl scripts and manage them with unicode filenames |
| 18:11.03 | elg | abcde 4-5 |
| 18:11.14 | elg | i think abcde speaks unicode |
| 18:11.18 | findlay | I mean, I don't know much about other ways to do the same thing |
| 18:11.24 | elg | and it's written in bash |
| 18:11.30 | elg | so it's ever more l33t than your perl scripts |
| 18:11.35 | findlay | oooh |
| 18:11.41 | levi | Ew, bash. |
| 18:11.49 | findlay | but it uses cdparanoia underneath |

| 18:11.56 | findlay | now there's another dead project |
| 18:11.58 | elg | well, yeah, it's just a wrapper around various tools |
| 18:12.17 | findlay | dead or stabilized. You choose |
| 18:12.20 | elg | cdparanoia (or any of 3 other rippers iirc), oggenc or lame or flac or ..., cddb stuff |
| 18:12.30 | elg | tagging progs |
| 18:12.38 | bonez39 | maquis, at elg's suggestions....ABCDE |

| 18:13.11 | maquis | bonez39: cd2mp3 is pretty good |
| 18:13.11 | elg | id3 tags are lame, but they're all that you get from cddb databases |
| 18:13.17 | elg | i'm not seeing it levi |
| 18:13.19 | bonez39 | ok....maquis thanks |
| 18:13.26 | levi | elg: Do a search in the page. |
| 18:13.37 | levi | elg: I couldn't see it before I did that, either. |
| 18:14.06 | elg | oh there he is |
| 18:14.22 | elg | fancy search technology |
| 18:14.34 | scott_ | is there a better way to get the help on a command flag like -x than doing man commmand / -x? the problem I have is that sometimes the flag is mentioned in the documentation for other flags before its documentation so you have to keep searching to get to it. It would be nice to be able to jump right there |
| 18:15.07 | elg | scott_: no. but you can get pretty close with a dab of regex foo in your search |
| 18:15.24 | elg | unless there's issues with unicode characters and - not matching - |
| 18:15.30 | elg | i think those days may be gone though |
| 18:15.30 | findlay | scott_: I always do `man command` then these literal characters: /^\s+-x |
| 18:15.53 | elg | -x |
| 18:16.03 | elg | <PROTECTED> |
| 18:16.12 | findlay | some cheesy man pagestry to couch options in complete sentences which is very annoying |
| 18:16.19 | elg | or do two spaces |
| 18:16.36 | elg | ~dict pagestry |
| 18:16.42 | findlay | if your less is new enough it will have a persistent history |
| 18:16.51 | findlay | s/pagestry/pages try/ |
| 18:17.09 | findlay | so you can hit / then Up and reuse your last search regex |
| 18:17.24 | elg | um, or you could just hit n |
| 18:18.21 | redbeard1 | elg, yes i am |
| 18:18.37 | findlay | elg: I'm talking about new invocations of man |
| 18:18.53 | elg | ah, that's cool |
| 18:19.00 | findlay | yeah |
| 18:19.08 | findlay | less has gotten some cool features lately |
| 18:19.11 | elg | redbeard1: but why bring up such an old article now? especially since you're back in tech? :) |
| 18:19.46 | redbeard1 | elg: i just ran across it this morning, and thought it was interesting that it was still there |
| 18:19.57 | levi | Gah, this document is a total mess, and I don't even know where to start fixing it. |
| 18:21.00 | elg | i think it's amuzing that you're in there, since you didn't really reshape the 'eCoast' at all - since you weren't on the coast when you were in tech (iirc) |
| 18:21.38 | elg | i'm also amused since I've never heard of the 'eCoast' before |
| 18:22.21 | scott_ | findlay: it's too bad you can't start man with an argument to search for somethign right off the bat |
| 18:22.30 | findlay | scott_: that would be cool |
| 18:22.37 | findlay | submit a patch ;-) |
| 18:22.53 | elg | it'd be more typing |
| 18:23.36 | findlay | true |
| 18:23.51 | findlay | but if man is all about querying documentation, why not? |
| 18:24.10 | findlay | why not make a way to get just what you need |
| 18:24.32 | scott_ | then you wouldn't have to type the /^\s+ |
| 18:25.17 | findlay | scott_: not if you have ~/.lesshist |
| 18:25.56 | findlay | s/lesshist/lesshst/ |
| 18:26.23 | findlay | there's always fisn |
| 18:26.28 | findlay | fish |

| 22:48.08 | ^Migs^ | I hate writing code and the whole time feeling like I'm doing it wrong but can't come up with a better way to do it |
| 22:48.29 | Jayce^ | writing PHP again? |
| 22:48.52 | ^Migs^ | no, Java |
| 22:49.19 | ^Migs^ | PHP tends to be wrong no matter what you do |
| 22:50.26 | levi | If that were truly the case, we might stand a chance of actually stamping it out. Some disciplined people actually write decent PHP code, though, so the beast is perpetuated in its ubiquity. |
| 22:51.56 | ^Migs^ | well, all the PHP code I've ever written has been more than decent |
| 22:53.24 | tene | levi: for what definition of "Decent"? |
| 22:54.20 | levi | tene: The same one that I would apply to decent Perl code, which I also think is an abominably ugly language, though not quite so broken. |
| 23:00.24 | harleypig | Ugly can be beautiful! |
