@GeorgetheDev: What is your favourite colour?

George the Dev

@ParanoidPanda My favorite colour is blue (and it's spelled 'color' FYI).

user136984

@GeorgetheDev: That's only the American way of writing it! >:{

user136984

@GeorgetheDev: It isn't necessarily correct where I am.

@NathanOsman: Why do you have to make him so annoying and American? :P

This room confuses me

user136984

@AlexA.: You are sure that you are not confusing things? Perhaps this room is fine, and it is just you. :P

Yup, I broke it :P

hello everyone

George the Dev

@NathanOsman Greetings.

Nathan Osman

Finally.

@GeorgetheDev my favorite app is VirtualBox.

@GeorgetheDev what is my favorite app?

@GeorgetheDev what time is it?

George the Dev

@NathanOsman The current time is Thu, 30 Jul 2015 20:34:30 GMT.

Nathan Osman

So at least one module is broken...

@GeorgetheDev what is my favorite game?

@GeorgetheDev what is my favorite app?

George the Dev

@NathanOsman Your favorite app is virtualbox.

@NathanOsman How should I know?

Nathan Osman

20:44

@GeorgetheDev Thank you.

George the Dev

@NathanOsman You're welcome!

Nathan Osman

bye all

George the Dev

@NathanOsman See you later.

@GeorgetheDev what is (12 + 6) * 12 ^ 0?

@NathanOsman 216

Nathan Osman

O... kay.

@GeorgetheDev what is 1+1?

George the Dev

21:05

@NathanOsman 2

Nathan Osman

I'm starting to wonder if "^" means "exponent" in JavaScript...

Fabby

@GeorgetheDev what is 2^32?

George the Dev

@Fabby 34

Fabby

@GeorgetheDev what is 2³?

George the Dev

@Fabby 2

Fabby

21:11

Definitely a problem with exponents...

@GeorgetheDev what is 10E20*10E20?

George the Dev

@Fabby 10

Nathan Osman

He can't read the first "E" so your input looks like just the number "10" to him.

Fabby

@NathanOsman math.pow()

Nathan Osman

Ah.

Fabby

@GeorgetheDev What is 5.23e2?

Nathan Osman

21:16

Just restarted him.

Try again.

Fabby

@GeorgetheDev What is 5^2?

Nathan Osman

Oh hang on.

Fabby

hanging...

Hanging some more and fetching a smoke and a drink...

Nathan Osman

He will only accept expressions containing numbers, "+", "-", "*", and "/" now.

You'll get an awkward silence for anything else.

Fabby

@NathanOsman Cheat!

;-)

Nathan Osman

21:24

Now for some fun.

@GeorgetheDev what is 1/0?

George the Dev

@NathanOsman Infinity

Nathan Osman

Pats George on the head.

@GeorgetheDev what is 9999999*9999999*9999999*9999999*9999999?

George the Dev

@NathanOsman 9.999995000001002e+34

Nathan Osman

^--- is very big number

Fabby

Don't you use math.eval()?

Nathan Osman

21:26

There's no Math.eval().

user139252

LIES! I found a bug!

Fabby

@HeatherBrown :D

@GeorgetheDev what is my favourite girl?

@Fabby Your favorite girl is наталия.

Fabby

@NathanOsman: Russian: I'm impressed!

Fabby

@GeorgetheDev your favourite computer is Siemens

user139252

Darn.

Fabby

@GeorgetheDev what is your favorite computer?

George the Dev

@Fabby I don't have a favorite computer.

Fabby

@NathanOsman no setting his variables? Only built-in?

Nathan Osman

21:39

Only built-in.

We can't have him saying random things people teach him :P

user139252

That got bad with my old egg-drop bot, Troy.

user139252

Somebody repeatedly responded to his occasional "How are you?" queries with obscenities.

user139252

Then, whenever somebody said "How are you?", Troy would respond with a line of obscenities.

Nathan Osman

Lol... but that would be bad.

George is pretty clever.

Fabby

@NathanOsman Isn't that the first step to self-awareness???

Nathan Osman

21:42

No.

Fabby

(or are you thinking about the variable I set for myself?)

user139252

I'm a self aware computer. I started out as just a lonely little C64. Now I live in a warehouse with IBM.

Fabby

@HeatherBrown :D:D:D

@NathanOsman OK, looks like I'll have to get back to JavaScript programming and make him an excuse generator...

;-)

Not today though

Nathan Osman

If you want to just give me a list of excuses, I can add them.

user139252

So these bots are js-based?

Fabby

21:46

I need to review a course about IBM rational doors...

I'll email the Jscript source...

Do you know what a WSF file is?

user139252

A windows script file?

Fabby

:-)

Yes... But @Nathan just got sent one...

user139252

I thought Nathan made George?

Fabby

@NathanOsman (apparently I only have your notifications github mail)

user139252

I don't know what's going on.

Fabby

21:52

@NathanOsman So I made a wild guess...

user139252

I bought the wrong darn license.

Fabby

@HeatherBrown Yes, I just sent him some source code to include in george

user139252

I bought a license for regular Callie, not RPI callie

user139252

I want to make George better!

Fabby

it's jscript, but that's close to JavaScript.

user139252

21:53

Workday is done.

user139252

Goodbye, @GeorgetheDev

George the Dev

@HeatherBrown See you later.

user139252

:D

Nathan Osman

Yup, he's written in JavaScript.

The entire thing is run under PhantomJS, which runs headless.

Fabby

I didn't get an NDR, so it should be in your inbox...

Nathan Osman

21:56

Yup.

I received it. Thanks!

It should be ready by the weekend, hopefully.

Fabby

:-) Haven't touched the source in 7 years but should run out-of-the-box on Windows...

(cscript or wscript)

And should be easily modifiable...

Don't worry about timing...

Everyone is going to use him though (based on my past experience)

Anyway, shutting down and then follow some boring PM course...

@NathanOsman do you use tox?

Nathan Osman

Nope.

Fabby

OK... If you ever need me and I'm not on-line, I should be easy to find in skype (for you)

Nathan Osman

Right.

debootstrap - Bootstrap a basic Debian system

debootstrap bootstraps a basic Debian system of SUITE into TARGET from MIRROR by running SCRIPT. MIRROR can be an http:// or https:// URL, a file:/// URL, or an ssh:/// URL. The SUITE may be a release code name (eg, sid, jessie, wheezy) or a symbolic name (eg, unstable, testing, stable, oldstable) Notice that file:/ URLs are translated to file:/// (correct scheme as described in RFC1738 for local filenames), and file:// will not work. ssh://USER@HOST/PATH URLs are retrieved using scp; use of ssh-agent or similar is strongly recommended. Debootstrap can be used to install Debian in a system without using an installation disk but can also be used to run a different Debian flavor in a chroot environment. This way you can create a full (minimal) Debian installation which can be used for testing purposes (see the EXAMPLES section). If you are looking for a chroot syst…
