paulproteusBovinity, Yeah, turns out there's more than one such room. The couch room. (-:00:18
paulproteusnkinkade1, so now that we have MySQL passwords, how can I create databases?00:18
nkinkade1paulproteus: I think I sent an email to you with the password.00:19
paulproteusOh, pardon me for not noting it.00:20
paulproteusThanks, I have it now.00:20
nkinkade1Maybe I didn't send an email and just thought I did??00:20
nkinkade1That's certainly possible. :-)00:20
paulproteusWhat I do on my servers is keep the MySQL file in a mode 0400 file in /root/mysql-root-password.00:21
paulproteusSo I basically have finger-memory for "mysql -uroot -p$(cat /root/mysql-root-password)".00:21
paulproteus(And I keep it set to random trash generated by pwgen.)00:22
paulproteusActually four or five pwgen passwords catted together, 'cause why not.00:22
nkinkade1I realized recently that I couldn't tell someone on of the passwords I use frequently.   I've become so accustomed to typing it (finger-memory) that I don't even know it anymore.00:24
nkinkade1I only half-consciously know it, and the rest is just muscle memory.00:24
*** kreynen has quit IRC00:24
nkinkade1Probably a good sign that I need to change it.00:24
nkinkade1Honestly.  There have been a few times I needed to know it and I had to type in a terminal to actually reveal to myself what it was.00:25
nkinkade1I'm hit by the GSM buzz on my Freerunner, Openmoko is moribund, and I have no hope for this device whatsoever.00:26
paulproteusIt's interesting; I don't think I had the GSM buzz on mine.00:28
paulproteusAnyway, if I had a few hundred dollars spare, I'd buy you an Android Developer Phone as a consolation prize.00:29
nkinkade1Thanks, but http://donewith.info00:32
nkinkade1;-)00:32
nkinkade1I've got an old Nokia 1108 (http://www.fonearena.com/nokia-1108_40.html) that I bought for $30 in Panama and I have thoughts of just reverting to that phone.00:34
paulproteusOkay, cool.00:34
nkinkade1It's small, light and works like a charm.00:34
paulproteusHaving maps with me as I walk somewhere and forgot to remember how to get there has been very helpful to me.00:34
paulproteusYour Nokia 1108 looks nice, too.00:35
nkinkade1Radical Simplicity.00:35
paulproteus(-:00:35
nkinkade1(not really, but in the tech world, yes)00:35
paulproteusSweet! From the page you linked: "Gamesyes,2 - Snake II and Space Impact+"00:36
paulproteusI don't know that I have any games on my G1.00:36
paulproteusOpenMoko isn't quite moribund.00:39
nkinkade1Those are the only 2 preinstalled games.00:39
paulproteusIt is going out of the consumer device market, as I understand things, but will try to focus on other markets.00:39
paulproteusHaving said that, yeah, it's probably moribund.00:39
* paulproteus ducks00:39
nkinkade1Well, moribund was a strong word, but I feel that it's probably accurate.00:41
nkinkade1Hopefully they'll pull through, but I doubt it.00:42
clsmithIt's sad... Android is good, but .. you need to jailbreak it? Really? :/00:42
nkinkade1The Freerunner is a pretty cool device, but it's just a day late and dollar short, sadly.00:43
nkinkade1Even if you took away the GSM buzz and the horrifying fact that charging only works when the OS is booted, it's still outdated in many ways.00:43
paulproteusclsmith, "Just buy an Android Developer Phone and you don't have that problem."00:45
clsmithpaulproteus: And then you can't buy apps from the Market, am I right?00:45
paulproteusFalse. You can buy any app that doesn't have the DRM flag enabled. Almost no apps have the DRM flag enabled.00:46
paulproteusAlso, if you just install a third-party OS rebuild, you can buy any app you want (since they package the G1 version of the Market program).00:46
clsmithpaulproteus: Hmm.. Possible, then.00:47
clsmithpaulproteus: I've been considering a G1 for a while now.00:47
nkinkade1However, Michael Lauer says that Android is not the The Way forward for open mobile.  I suppose it's arguable, and maybe he's biased with his Open Embedded affiliations.00:54
paulproteusThanks, I just read his post.01:02
clsmithLink please?01:02

*** kreynen_ has joined #cc17:06
nkinkadeThat stuff might almost be better on Teamspace, but it was handed down that way from DC.17:06
nathanynkinkade: you're probably right (in both cases); I looked first on the Web_Accounts page17:08
nkinkadenathany: Should I just move it and be done with the Google Doc?17:08
nathanymaybe a registrar specific page linked from there?17:08
nathanynkinkade: do you think it'd be helpful to have in teamspace?17:09
nathanymaybe just a link from web_accounts to the google doc?17:09
nkinkadeI think it'd be more accessible and intuitive.17:09

paulproteusnathany, Do you know a way (off the top of your head) to change the Roundup email prefix [IssueXXX] to e.g. [LearnXXX]?19:29
paulproteusIf not, I can continue to search the docs.19:29
nathanypaulproteus: I don't think you can easily19:30
nathanyit's reflecting the Class+Id of the object19:30
paulproteusYeah, that's what it seemed. I can change the default class to be Learn instead of Issue...19:31
paulproteusThe reason I wonder about it is to avoid problems if someone forwards a CC Learn issue to the CC Tech issue email address.19:32
nathanypaulproteus: i seem to recall that Issue is baked in there pretty well19:53
nathanyfwiw19:53
paulproteusThat's disappointing, but so be it.19:53

paulproteusIt's a completely automated setup with documentation now.20:08

nkinkadepaulproteus:  Can you think of any way to get Firefox to open clicked links in one browser instance in another instance?21:53
paulproteusEr, whoa.21:53
paulproteusIt would be "easy" to have a Fx extension make that a right-click option.21:53
paulproteusThat's actually a pretty cool idea.21:53
paulproteusThen I could separate my personal and work Fxes.21:53
nkinkadeIt's the whole Gmail, no cookies thing.21:53
* paulproteus nods21:54
paulproteusI just select a URL and middle-click in Epiphany.21:54
paulproteusAlso your Cacti graphs are taking forever to load.21:54
nkinkadeMany emails come with links, and now I have to copy it and open it in my sanitized browser instance.21:54
nkinkadeReally?21:54
nkinkadeThey seem to be loading quickly on my side.21:54
paulproteusI've been waiting for about two minutes so far.21:54
paulproteusWeird.21:54
paulproteusOh, there they are!21:54
nkinkadeLike the a6 page loaded in < 3 seconds.21:55
paulproteusI'll chalk it up to something on my end for now.21:55
nkinkadePhew.21:55
nkinkadeThere's not much data there right now, but it could be useful information as more of it collects.21:55
nkinkadeFor planning and deployment, etc.21:56
paulproteusI'd be interested in I/O-related figures.21:56
paulproteusAnd # of processes in Wait state.21:56
nkinkadepaulproteus: I'm sure that can be added, feel free to poke around in there.21:59
nkinkadeIt'd be nice if those graphs were publicly visible without authentication, I think.22:00
paulproteusI agree!22:00
nkinkadeI'm looking into that now.22:00
nkinkadeAnonymous access works now by going to: http://a6.creativecommons.org/cacti/graph_view.php22:03

paulproteusnathany, Okay if I assign joint copyright to our cheesy jToolkit patch to the jToolkit company, St James Software?22:10
nathanysure22:10
nathanyalthough mia will tell you that's a totally bogus legal concept22:11
paulproteusThat's good news.22:11
paulproteus"an unrevocable, world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license" (did I miss anything?)22:11
paulproteusI guess no one here is a lawyer, anyway, and I ought to ask one of those sorts.22:12
Bovinitynkinkade: in firefox preferences, set "open new pages" to "a new tab" under the tab settings. (re your FF query earlier)22:14
paulproteusI think he means a diff. Fx process entirely.22:16
nkinkadeBovinity: I'm running two instances of Firefox, one that with a profile that accepts cookies and one that doesn't, among some other plugin differences.  I run Gmail for CC in the one that accepts cookies and everything else in the one that doesn't.  I want links from one to open in another remote instance.22:16
