00:14 <Vanhayes> er speaking of bugs do you guys know about the freezeing during server sync one?
00:19 <ghableska> oh yeah
00:24 <Vanhayes> argh froze
00:24 <ghableska> again?

00:25 <Vanhayes> er server freeze not snyc thing
00:26 <ghableska> oh
00:27 <Vanhayes> though that snycing thing did happen earlier today
00:28 <ghableska> for me, it usually seems to be random...
00:28 <Vanhayes> any way I asked about it cause lack asked me about it then asked if any devs knew about it
00:28 <ghableska> oh
00:29 <ghableska> maybe it's a windows problem
00:29 <Vanhayes> probly
00:29 <Vanhayes> a windows/.3 thing
00:29 <ghableska> yeah
00:30 <ghableska> do you still get the crash with the next track key?

01:42 <Lucifer_arma> it was raining cats and dogs yesterday, now it looks like a drought outside
01:42 <madmax|pt> meadows of brushy creek is a nice name
01:43 <Lucifer_arma> that's the only place I've seen it, though
01:43 <Lucifer_arma> I don't know, maybe the sign coming in to the neighborhood says it and I just neer noticed it
01:44 <Lucifer_arma> but Brushy Creek is accurate anyway. We're in the Brushy Creek Municipal District, and that's who we pay for water/electric/gas
01:45 <Lucifer_arma> I wonder if we lived one block east if the weather people would say "Cat Hollow" (the name of the kinda ritsy neighborhood I hae to drive through to get to my less-ritsy home)

09:33 <Lucifer_arma> hi anjori
09:36 <anjori> hey
09:37 <anjori> your README asks for Autostart exampls for various WMs. this wiki covers them all: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Autostart_Programs it's gentoo-centric, but should work on most distros
09:39 <anjori> if you dont want to lift it directly, i could install a numbers of those WMs on my test machine and write it up myself
09:43 <Lucifer_arma> up to you, I read that page actually when I was considering implementing it directly, then got lazy :)
09:44 <Lucifer_arma> um, you might want to download the 0.5.1 I just put on sourceforge if you actually want to use the program, there are even a few more bugfixes from the tarball you downloaded
09:44 <Lucifer_arma> namely, I reduced the timer interval so it doesn't run two threads each at 4% cpu usage on my server :/
09:45 <anjori> different from the 0.5.1 linked in your follow up post?
09:45 <Lucifer_arma> anyway, I don't want to lift the wiki page directly because it is pretty generic, I'd like something specific to the alarm clock
09:45 <Lucifer_arma> yeah, different from the 0.5.1 I linked in that post
09:45 <Lucifer_arma> that was a test, and you were the guinea pig :)
09:46 <anjori> heh
09:46 <anjori> link?
09:46 <Lucifer_arma> http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pyalarm/dsac-0.5.1.tar.gz?download
09:47 <Lucifer_arma> I didn't just reduce the timer interval, I made it configurable, but you have to edit ~/.dsac/dsacrc to change it.
09:47 <Lucifer_arma> the box for it in the preferences dialog goes in a panel not yet created, and I didn't want to create that panel yet
09:47 <anjori> oh, so the pref option doesnt actually do anything? i hadn't tried changing it when i ran it.
09:49 <Lucifer_arma> er, which one? all the ones in the dialog that are enabled should work, except the randomize playlist button
09:49 <Lucifer_arma> that one I didn't implement yet because playlist managers need more thought, and because of the way the playlist is loaded and created, it looks random anyway :)
09:50 <Lucifer_arma> no, I added a new config option for the timer specifically. There's a "snooze interval" config that works, but the one I'm talking about is number of milliseconds between timer runs
09:50 <Lucifer_arma> It was hardcoded to 200 in 0.5.0 and the tarball you downloaded, and I added a config for it that defaults to 500
09:51 <anjori> ah
09:51 <Lucifer_arma> reduced CPU usage from 4% each in two threads (8% total, I think) to 1.9% peak in one and the other 0.3% normal
09:51 <Lucifer_arma> anyway, the threshold for sounding an alarm is 2 seconds, so it would take a lot for the timer to fail to sound an alarm even at the half-second timer interval
09:51 <Lucifer_arma> but should you notice a problem, you can reduce the timer interval to compensate :)
09:52 <anjori> i'll pretend i know what threads are and the significance of 8% to 2% (though, obviously, any time you can cut cpu is a good thing) ;)
09:53 <Lucifer_arma> heh. thread. Hmmm. you want your program to do 2 things at once, you have two choices: one is to create a thread.
09:53 <Lucifer_arma> because normally a program only does one thing at a time. :) It's like adding a & in a bash script
09:54 <anjori> i see
09:55 <anjori> anjori@1[dsac-0.5.1]$ ./configure
09:55 <anjori> configure: error: cannot find install-sh or install.sh in "." "./.." "./../.."
09:55 <anjori> on the new tarball
09:55 <Lucifer_arma> wtf?
09:55 <Lucifer_arma> that explains something, heh
09:59 <Lucifer_arma> http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pyalarm/dsac-0.5.1a.tar.gz?download
10:00 <Lucifer_arma> if that one doesn't work I'm gonna scream
10:00 <Lucifer_arma> of course, the program is pretty much brand new, so rough edges should be expected this early in development. :)
10:02 <anjori> success!
10:02 <anjori> yes. i'm not expecting a polished, bug-free app, or anything
10:02 <Lucifer_arma> heh, well, the snooze bug bit me this morning. :/
10:03 * Lucifer_arma reminds himself to test more thoroughly before changing the version on his server
10:04 <Lucifer_arma> you know, the problem with this particular program is that when there's a bug that breaks its basic function, it fucks you for the day
10:04 <anjori> well, even if you could guarantee that it was 100% stable and bug free, i still wouldn't rely on purely software to wake me up. i'd have a backup, regular alarm
10:04 <anjori> i don't trust my computer /that/ much.
10:04 <Lucifer_arma> smart. :) I would too if those damn things worked on me.
10:05 <Lucifer_arma> you kinda get used to it, though. Besides pyAlarm, I've used 2 other software alarms and have been using computers for my alarm clock for something like 5 or 6 years now
10:05 <anjori> heh. i've been known to get up and turn off the damn thing while not exactly conscious, then go back to sleep, not realizing it ever went off.
10:06 <anjori> which actually leads me to a question i had based on your readme
10:06 <anjori> "There's a third button that's disabled for now that contains a happy face with a blindfold. When finally enabled, that button will be enabled and will mean "I'm going to bed"."
10:06 <Lucifer_arma> I probably do tht twice a week. I'm still working out how it should look, but I want some way the user has to confirm that he woke up.
10:06 <anjori> what exactly will that option do?
10:06 <Lucifer_arma> and if he doesn't confirm, the thing will go off again.
10:06 <Lucifer_arma> That option is mostly for tracking sleeping habits.
10:07 <Lucifer_arma> The first thing it'll do is make a sleep log entry that says "I went to bed"
10:07 <Lucifer_arma> later on there'll be a report that says stuff like "Average number of hours asleep", with a nice graph that shows this over time
10:07 <Lucifer_arma> the second thing it'll do is plug into a white noise generator with config options to match, where the white noise generator will be an external app
10:08 <Lucifer_arma> so you could use mplayer (my sister uses a dvd player for that task), or a real white noise generator
10:08 <anjori> when i initially read about this on your site, the idea of you having to confirm you're actually up appealed to me
10:08 <Lucifer_arma> and then at some point there'll be an optional central server for collecting these statistics from users. I think the information would be very handy and helpful for people to have.
10:09 <Lucifer_arma> my original plan with confirming having woken up wasn't completely workable, and the code in pyalarm was nasty enough that it was impractical, hence the rewrite
10:09 <anjori> is similar to this article i read about an actual clock that you would have to get up and engage by solving som sort of puzzle to prove you were awake before it turned off
10:09 <Lucifer_arma> anyway, I figured out 3 ways to fool the system while being half asleep, so I'm still thinking about it
10:09 <Lucifer_arma> now there's an idea
10:09 <Lucifer_arma> make it something more than just a click
10:10 <Lucifer_arma> a minor part of the spec is it has to allow for someone else to do it, though. I might wake up after 5 snoozes and rush out the door, my wife needs to be able to go in and say "he woke up and left"
10:11 <Lucifer_arma> the sleep log that's there now has snoozes, alarm sound, and I'm awake messages in it. It's pretty basic, but if you wanted to fool with your leet shell skills you might try to generate a report from it
10:11 * Lucifer_arma added the sleep log :)
10:11 <anjori> that's another good point. i was actually thinking about a similar scenario if i had to rush out and the bloody thing kept going off or what have you
10:12 <Lucifer_arma> well, I want the thing to be relentless and to keep trying to wake me up as long as I'm asleep. That's an 8-hour ordeal sometimes! So a timeout doesn't quite fit,
10:12 <Lucifer_arma> although the system will probably have one so other people can set it up.
10:12 <Lucifer_arma> but I'll disable it. :)
10:13 <Lucifer_arma> at some point the program is going to have to trust me, though, and I"m going to have to trust myself not to trick it.
10:13 <Lucifer_arma> I *want* accurate reports! ;)
10:15 <anjori> i'll install various WMs and try and write up some dsac-specific instructions for autostart. though that's not going to happen tonight as i've been drinking
10:19 <Lucifer_arma> ok. Thanks you! :)
10:19 <Lucifer_arma> *Thank
10:19 <Lucifer_arma> probably the best place to put them is in a comment on my website on this page:
10:19 <Lucifer_arma> http://www.davefancella.com/node/39
10:20 <Lucifer_arma> I'll get a notification of course and snatch it to put in the readme as soon as it's there, in the meantime it'll be on the website for others to use
10:20 <anjori> all right
10:21 <Lucifer_arma> of course, if you're wanting to contribute a lot of stuff, I can give you svn access too :)
10:21 <anjori> the mention of your site reminded me that i can't wait for the next version of drupal. it looks promising
10:22 <anjori> well, i'll do what i can. but keep in mind that i'm still trying to learn a lot of this stuff myself and most of my knowledge is largely in conceptual understandings.
10:22 <anjori> hell, i still get lost trying to compile something when it doesn't go exactly as expected ;)
10:32 <Lucifer_arma> man, I'm loving Drupal these days
10:32 <Lucifer_arma> if Drupal was a woman, I'd french kiss it

10:35 <anjori> it is sweet, yes. i havent had a site up for awhile, but once i actually have a reason to and hopefully some scripts and stuff to offer, i'd like to relaunch it.
10:36 <anjori> have you read about the next release? it'll finally have an installer.

10:38 <anjori> and if there was ever any doubt about the abilities of drupal for large sites, i think the fact that the MTV UK site now runs on it can attest to its abilities: http://drupal.org/node/81898http://drupal.org/node/81898

15:05 <Luke-Jr> GodTodd is?
15:05 <spidey> no my power blinked
15:05 <spidey> i was listening to a good song to
15:05 <Luke-Jr> o
15:05 <Luke-Jr> why does power blink hurt that? =p
15:06 <spidey> my stereo and computer turned off?
15:07 <Luke-Jr> oh, right... you BNC
15:08 <spidey> ya
15:08 <Luke-Jr> well, that's why you should use either a laptop or a UPS ;p
15:08 <Luke-Jr> for the PC anyhow
15:08 <spidey> heh
15:08 <spidey> buy me a ups and i'll use a ups
15:08 <spidey> ;x
15:08 <Luke-Jr> they're heavy and expensive :x
15:08 <spidey> exactly :p
15:09 <Luke-Jr> well, expensive for anything decent
15:09 <Luke-Jr> my <$100 one works for like 2-3 min
15:09 <spidey> or i could just find some ones the batteries dead in
15:09 <Luke-Jr> laptops, however, run hours ;p
15:09 <spidey> and replace it with car batteries
15:09 <Luke-Jr> maybe
15:09 <spidey> then it'll run hours :p
15:09 <Luke-Jr> that'd be a pretty nice UPS to take car batteries =p
15:09 <spidey> not really
15:09 <Luke-Jr> but car batteries aren't meant to be run down ever
15:10 <spidey> deep cycle marine batteries run nice on a ups
15:10 <Luke-Jr> indeed
15:10 <spidey> just a few changes to the ups and it's good to go
15:10 <spidey> :p

19:45 <wrtlprnft> wtf
19:45 <wrtlprnft> the logs say i deleted the stuff again myself…

20:01 <wrtlprnft> hmm, the newest version of dejavu sans mono seems to be corrupt…
20:01 <wrtlprnft> pango prints two errors if I start gvim, which is annoying on the console
20:01 * wrtlprnft waits for deja_vu_ to pop in
20:02 * deja_vu_ pops wrtlprnft's eyeballs :D
20:02 -!- deja_vu_ is now known as deja_vu
20:03 <wrtlprnft> x_X
20:06 <deja_vu> :O
20:06 <deja_vu> oh
20:06 <deja_vu> i'm sorry
20:06 * wrtlprnft stares at deja_vu with empty eyes
20:07 <deja_vu> i've got this spare ball from an old mouse, if you want...
20:07 <wrtlprnft> urgh
20:07 * wrtlprnft doesn't want to remember non–optical mice
20:09 <deja_vu> well.. since i removed your optical capabilities you shouldn't be that picky :P
20:10 <wrtlprnft> i wonder if a mouse ball will bring these back…
20:10 * wrtlprnft rips out deja_vu's eyes and inserts them into the holes in his head
20:10 * wrtlprnft watches deja_vu from a safe distance
20:11 <deja_vu> o.o
20:11 <wrtlprnft> not o.o
20:11 <wrtlprnft> ×.×
20:11 <deja_vu> my eyes are proprietary
20:11 <deja_vu> they won't work with that strange socket of yours
20:12 * deja_vu steals his eyes back :(
20:12 <wrtlprnft> no chance
20:12 * wrtlprnft throws deja_vu's useless eyes into the trash
20:13 <deja_vu> :(
20:13 * deja_vu grows his eyes back
20:13 <wrtlprnft> o_O
20:14 <deja_vu> o.O
20:14 <wrtlprnft> that sounds like it hurts
20:14 <deja_vu> it only hurts if the growing doesn't stop in time O.o

20:20 <wrtlprnft> *splat* (sound of exploding eyeballs)
20:20 <deja_vu> is that UTF-8?
20:20 <wrtlprnft> yeah
20:21 <wrtlprnft> http://wrtlprnft.ath.cx/irssieyes.png
20:21 <deja_vu> ah :)
20:23 <wrtlprnft> pfft… using an IRC client/font not capable of some simple chars…
20:26 <deja_vu> font
20:26 <deja_vu> and term, maybe O.o
20:26 <wrtlprnft> öäü ← see this?
20:27 <wrtlprnft> öäü <-- see this?
20:27 <wrtlprnft> i'd better not use an UTF-8 arrow for this…
20:27 <deja_vu> no *g*
20:28 <deja_vu> http://himbeere.shacknet.nu/kram/utf-8.jpg
20:32 <wrtlprnft> well, you need to have your terminal set to utf-8
20:33 <deja_vu> i suppose so
20:33 <wrtlprnft> then say /set term_charset utf-8
20:34 <deja_vu> would this brake umlauts in other encodings?
20:35 <wrtlprnft> umm
20:35 <wrtlprnft> can you say one?
20:35 <wrtlprnft> so i can see if it shows up :)
20:35 <wrtlprnft> though i've never seen weird chars since i switched
20:36 <deja_vu> öüßÄä
20:36 <wrtlprnft> appears just fine
20:37 <wrtlprnft> probably irssi detects that this is not valid utf-8 and falls back to latin-1
20:37 <wrtlprnft> can you try an euro sign?
20:37 <deja_vu> don't have one
20:37 <wrtlprnft> you mean, can't enter one?
20:37 <wrtlprnft> then you're using latin-1, not latin-15
20:38 <deja_vu> i'm using us-dvorak + umlauts
20:38 <deja_vu> never felt the need to use the euro-sign
20:39 <wrtlprnft> o_O
20:39 <deja_vu> and switching to qwertz produces the general currency symbol instead O.o
20:40 <wrtlprnft> that's usually bound to alt–gr+shift+4
20:41 <deja_vu> hm.. seems to be aterm's fault
20:41 <[Xpert]DarkStar> aterm ^^
20:42 <wrtlprnft> x_X
20:43 <[Xpert]DarkStar> IMO the best terminal ever
20:43 <[Xpert]DarkStar> at least irssi works correctly with it
20:43 * wrtlprnft doesn't see what's wrong with konsole
20:44 <[Xpert]DarkStar> you need kde for it
20:44 <[Xpert]DarkStar> or at least the kdelibs
20:44 <wrtlprnft> it doesn't do bold font for some reason, but oh well
20:44 <deja_vu> konsole is laaarge *g*
20:44 <deja_vu> and it's kde^^
20:44 <[Xpert]DarkStar> and slooooow
20:44 <wrtlprnft> not that much
20:44 <wrtlprnft> don't notice it being slower than what i can type
20:45 <deja_vu> Package: aterm
20:45 <deja_vu> Installed-Size: 228
20:45 <wrtlprnft> and if you're using kde and have kdelibs and such already loaded it's tiny…
20:45 <deja_vu> Package: konsole
20:45 <deja_vu> Installed-Size: 1906
20:45 <deja_vu> ;)
20:45 <[Xpert]DarkStar> almost 10 times the size
20:45 <wrtlprnft> that in KiB?
20:46 <deja_vu> and aterm doesn't need a whole bunch of libs ;)
20:46 <[Xpert]DarkStar> well... 229B is small and 228MB is a huge fucker terminal :P
20:46 <deja_vu> ^^
20:46 <wrtlprnft> 228BiB?!
20:46 <wrtlprnft> never ever
20:46 <wrtlprnft> *MiB
20:47 <wrtlprnft> and i don't believe even aterm fits into 229B
20:47 <deja_vu> http://packages.debian.org/testing/x11/aterm ;)
20:48 <wrtlprnft> that's KiB

20:52 <deja_vu> fascinating
20:53 <deja_vu> seems to be the same for other kde applications
20:55 <wrtlprnft> well, things like konsole and konqueror are mostly containers probably
20:55 <wrtlprnft> the actual funcionality is in a library
20:55 <wrtlprnft> so things like kdevelop can use it
