paulproteusnathany, I'm going to chill at home until 11 or so.11:51
nathanypaulproteus: ok11:51
nathanypaulproteus: Bovinity: any experience doing screencasts on Linux?11:56
paulproteusnathany, Yeah, it has always sucked for me.11:56
paulproteusI've used xvidcap, which might suck a little less these days.11:57
paulproteusThere's the GNOME app, too, which for a year seemed on the edge of not sucking; maybe by now it doesn't.11:57
nathanypaulproteus: if it sucks less, it's not by much11:57
paulproteusWhat's it called...11:57
Bovinityi remember there was one gnome app that worked by taking a bunch of screenshots and dumpign an animated gif.11:58
Bovinity"Istanbul" may or may not be what i'm thinking of. regardless, it is a screencast tool.11:59
paulproteushttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreencastTeam/RecordingScreencasts suggests xvidcap.11:59
Bovinityhttp://recordmydesktop.iovar.org/about.php12:00
paulproteusThis looks sane, perhaps.12:02
paulproteusIstanbul is what I'm thinking of.12:02
paulproteusLast I saw it didn't make anigifs but a real video.12:02
paulproteusRecommended at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ScreenCasting , but I like the look of recordmydesktop better.12:03
nathanyThanks12:03
Bovinityvnc2swf12:03
nathanyI had seen the ubuntu wiki page, but its recommendations resulted in... crap12:03
Bovinityah, Byzanz was that anigif one12:03
nathanyBovinity: OMG, there's a Funplex Remix EP w/ remixes by Scissor Sisters and Peaches12:04
Bovinityooh12:04
nathanyi sort of love the Amazon MP3 store12:05
Bovinitythe funplex releases are also drm free on itunes12:06

rejonvnc2swf is great along with x11vnc12:14
rejonblarp...night12:15
paulproteusnathany, I fixed PdfLicenseManager in trunk and added a Makefile.12:15
paulproteusAmong other things, I need to figure out what sort of binary distribution people want.12:16
paulproteus"Fixed" used lightly, of course, given the quality of that code.  But I changed the namespace, is what I mean.12:16
nathanypaulproteus: great12:16
nathanybinary distribution?12:16
nathanywouldn't they just want a .jar at most?12:16
paulproteusIt looks like a zip file of the *.java and the *.class files is what used to be offered.12:16
paulproteusYeah, a jar might be useful, except I don't think that used to be how things were distributed, and I never learned how to make one.12:17
paulproteusGuess I'll read up on archive.org the old website for this thing.12:19
*** nkinkade has joined #cc12:20
paulproteusHowdy doody, nkinkade.12:20
paulproteusHmm, no archive.org cache.12:21
nkinkadeHi paulproteus.12:21
paulproteus(There is one, but it's too recent to be any use.)12:21
nkinkadeI'm not sure what you are referring to.12:22
paulproteusnkinkade, Something nathany and I were chatting about.12:22
paulproteusSorry, didn't mean to confuse.12:22
nathanypaulproteus: how "things" were distributed? for java apps?12:23
paulproteusThis particular Java app.12:23
paulproteusAnd its source, and its binaries.12:23
nathanyah12:23
nathanyi can't imagine what else he would've done... based on a combination of my knowledge and my perception of the level of code sophistication :)12:24
paulproteusWhat else?12:24
paulproteusDo you mean you think he did a jar, or you think he did a .java+.class zip file and told people to unzip?12:24
paulproteusI think the latter.12:24
nathanymaybe the latter12:25
nathanywhy not just do a .jar (which is zipped already) and tell people to run12:26
nathanyjava -jar xxx.jar12:26
paulproteusSure, I just don't know how.12:26
* paulproteus reads12:26
nathanyack, i hate multimedia on linux12:46
nathany(production, that is)12:46
nathanyBovinity: paulproteus: either of you have a microphone at the office i can use to record an audio track?12:48
paulproteusnathany, Can't you use your USB headset you lent me a few weeks ago?12:48
nathanypaulproteus: i could, if it weren't at home :)12:49
paulproteusI do have a regular non-USB headset at home, but it and I are here.12:49
Bovinitynope12:49
nathanypaulproteus: 1/8" plugs on it?12:49
nathanyif so, would you mind bringing it in if you come to the office today?12:49
paulproteusnathany, I'd be happy to.  I'm thinking I might stay at home a little longer, but at some point I'll get dressed and then there'll be nowhere to go but the office.12:50
nathanypaulproteus: no worries; if we don't cross paths today i'll bring mine in tomorrow12:50
paulproteusOr I could just walk to your place and find yours. (-;12:51
paulproteus1/8" - is that "normal computer audio plug" size?12:52
*** Yaco has joined #cc13:01
nathanypaulproteus: yes, that's the normal size13:04
nathanynevermind, though; ML had one13:04
paulproteusCool.13:04

nathany:)14:52
paulproteusDo you have our last stand-up photo somewhere?14:53
paulproteusIt was for that that I went to the tech blog.14:53
paulproteus'Cause if I can't work on herder and liblicense is stable enough I forget what to do next.14:54

nkinkadeThe versioning WP plugin that we installed months ago for the lawsuit just saved Jane.  I had forgot that it was sitting there silently versioning every page/post edit.  I just mention it here in case it's ever useful to someone else, and to say that it might be useful for other general users of Wordpress.16:37
tvolnkinkade; good to know16:39
Bovinitynkinkade: is that active on learn.cc? i can only assume it is16:40
nkinkadeBovinity: it probably is active there, but she was drafting on (cc).org.16:40
nkinkadeI think only blog admins can access the versions, and of course it's all dependent on the user having saved it, but Jane had accidentally deleted all but a couple words of a long post and then somehow saved it.  It worked nicely for her in this case.16:41
nkinkadeI think there's a bug in the plugin, though because when I rolled back to the good version it somehow removed the author, so I had to set the author manually.  Maybe that's intentional??16:42
nkinkadeAnd for anyone interested: $ dig mx @a7.creativecommons.org creativecommons.org16:43

paulproteusnkinkade, Yay!18:09
paulproteusre: iftop18:09
paulproteusnkinkade, lol! re: bug in versioning plugin18:10
paulproteusrejon, Hey now.18:10
nkinkadeYou mentioned it the other day, and I just had occasion to need something a lot like it.18:10
paulproteusIt's nice to see how much bandwidth I'm pushing through.18:10
nkinkadeAnd ipkg on OpenWRT is darn nice as well.18:10
paulproteusipkg is the same thing as the OpenMoko (and other normal embedded Linux setups) use to manage packages.18:11
nkinkadeI assumed it was you, paulproteus, who was making the network nearly unusable, but I don't think it was you.18:11
paulproteus(Just as an FYI)18:11
paulproteusHah, nkinkade!18:11
paulproteusre: iftop: There were a nice few days where seeding the FreeBSD 7 ISOs had me uploading at 2-4 megabytes a second from rose.18:11
Bovinitynkinkade: what was the reason for the dodgy network speeds?18:11
nkinkadeI always default to pointing an imaginary finger at you.  In my book paulproteus is guilty until proven innocent.  It's not very just of me, but the mind is a mysterious thing.18:12
paulproteusAs is my network usage.18:13
nkinkadeI think it might have been nathany.18:13
paulproteusWhy wasn't the Wonder Shaper Wonderful for us?18:13
nkinkadeI'm not sure, but did you notice the serious slowdowns earlier?18:13
paulproteusYes, but when I investigated I noticed the wireless network itself was slow.18:14
paulproteusLike pinging 10.0.2.2 from my laptop took 200ms or something nuts.18:14
paulproteusI thought, "Maybe my wireless card has gone nuts," and didn't think twice.18:14
paulproteusThat's still possible....18:14
nkinkadeYeah, it took a long time to connect to 10.0.2.1.  Interestingly, the Xerox WorkCentre was generating more traffic than anything when I looked, though still not too too much.18:16
Bovinitymaybe all thsoe scans it was trying to upload....18:16
nkinkadepaulproteus: What were you doing with the FreeBSD ISOs?18:16
paulproteusI was seeding them on bittorrent on the release day.18:18
paulproteusAnd I figured, why not also get all the old ones too?18:18
paulproteusAnd all the architectures? (etc.)18:18
nkinkadeBut why were you bothering to have anything to do with FreeBSD?  Of course, I like the idea, but I haven't really touched FreeBSD for about a year.18:19
paulproteusI don't know, the voice of Slashdot compelled me.18:19
paulproteusIn general, it's sad that I have enormous amounts of bandwidth that I'm not putting to good use.18:19
paulproteus(on rose)18:19
nkinkadePut the Debian package management system on FreeBSD and you might have my favorite system.18:19
paulproteusDebian GNU/kFreeBSD18:20
* paulproteus runs for the hills18:20
nkinkadeMaybe we can migrate (cc).org.18:20
paulproteusLet's do a test run first somewhere.18:20
paulproteusMaybe your laptop, or my desktop. (-;18:20
nkinkade:)18:20
nkinkadeBut you see, I don't just want the kernel, but also the filesystem layout and configuration paradigms.18:21
paulproteuscd /usr/nkinkade18:22
paulproteus(Or is it not quite *that* old-school?)18:22
Bovinitywasn't it /usr/home/foo/ ?18:23
paulproteus/usr/ucb/18:23
paulproteus"I imagine too, that it helps to sell more Solaris boxes if people think they can get "their" version of 'ps' running." <http://www.ozzu.com/unix-linux-forum/diff-between-bin-and-usr-ucb-t48154.html>18:23
nkinkadeNo it was /usr/home/nkinkade18:23

nkinkadeWhat I want to know if where my good friend rc.conf when to.18:25
paulproteusYou know, I'm kind of resenting how slow svn is now.18:26
nkinkadeI suddenly feel to need to write some iambic pentameter about the virtues of rc.conf, or maybe a haiku.18:26
paulproteusJust be sure to CC-license it!18:27
nkinkadeoh rc.conf \ simplicity, calm, at rest \ peaceful oh, selah18:29
* paulproteus looks this up18:31
paulproteus           Beyond the fact that Selah is a musical term, we know18:31
paulproteus           absolutely nothing about it.             --Dr. W. Smith18:31
nkinkade/usr/local you maketh me lie down by calm waters, your separation of system and user they comfort me.  And yeah though I walk through the valley of Confusion, I will not fear rm -rf /usr/local/*18:32
paulproteusThe GNU world has that, at least.18:33
paulproteusYou need not mourn it.18:33
nkinkadeAs far as I know it's still alive and well in FreeBSD.18:33
nkinkadeBut I've got used to Debian now, and I'm pretty happy.18:34
paulproteusOh you have *got* to be kidding me.18:34
paulproteusTranslation on search.cc.org only works if define("DEBUG", true); is set!18:34
paulproteusIn related news, the Solaris kernel ships in debug mode.18:35
paulproteusCompiled in debug mode, that is.18:35
Bovinityyou know, i think i set that up a long time ago18:35
BovinityDEBUG was probably fairly arbitrary18:35
paulproteusHeh.18:36
paulproteusAnyway, I'm cleaning this all up now.18:36
paulproteus        // if all else fails set it to the default18:36
paulproteus    if (DEBUG) {18:36
paulproteus      echo "you suck, going to default<p>";18:36
paulproteus    }18:36
paulproteusI think I wrote those lines.18:36
nkinkadeWhat are you doing with search.(cc).org?18:39
