compiles PHP 5.2...
@GeorgeEdison hey you got a second?
Sure, what's up?
formating a flash drive using gparted and now it wont let me copy to it.
says i don't have permission to copy to that drive
i'm recreating the partition table now... hopefully that works.
nope
00:42
I had a similar problem once.
Turned out to be a defective flash drive.
> The folder "Folder Name" cannot be copied because you do not have permissions to create it in the destination.
brb, boot windows and try again. :s
ok lets see...
FAT32 or exFAT
which do you recommend for being Ubuntu friendly.
00:46
I'm not sure that Linux has exFAT drivers yet.
ok, formatted well.
and windows doesn't mind copying to it. :P
damn, I keep going to the side for the 'taskbar'... 60 days and Ubuntu has ruined me for Windows.
Just move the taskbar to the side :)
good call :P
now how to get date and time in the top right and the control buttons on the left
But the flash drive works in Windows?
ohh yea
formatted and copies well.
after i get the movies on it i want i will boot back to ubuntu to see if it now works there.
01:06
yup and full permissions in ubuntu as well.
Great.
I finally reproduced that PHP bug on my Fedora VM.

Oh hai @lazyPower. :)
You've been busy on github bud, i logged into my non-work github account and was blown away by your activity feed
i'm glad i can take some credit for spurning that interest :D
jrg
jrg
heh.
I indeed have been busy.
I'm working on some machup design elements for my capstone project -- this should be fun :D
i'm not a designer by any sense of the word :|
jrg
jrg
02:02
design as in "pretty pixels" or design as in "pretty infrastructure"?
pretty pixels
jrg
jrg
ah i see.
CSS3 transforms and HTML5 will be my weapons of choice -- staying away from doing graphics intensive design. Its been a fun learning experiment so far and i'm just getting started
this will be my first app toying with the HTML5 datastore
jrg
jrg
i've heard thats really fun, but I haven't had a chance to do anything like that yet.
Its neat, dropshadows and rounded corners make things look all pretty with a candy style interface
wrap it with some jquery sugar, and this will be a machup of beauty

Q: What is the wildcard within KDE proxy settings?

I've been finding some awsome apps to drop in my GApps domain -- still looking for some productivity / project management software that isnt MS Project translated for the web. -- which is sadly most of what i've found.

looks around sheepishly Nobody saw that did they? >_>
thats true.
The whole point is to find a collection of applications that integrate into my domain to build a cohesive suite of tools that interchange data seamlessly and actually enhance my already stellar experience with a Google Apps Domain, thus eliminating my need for anything but a browser and vim open at any given time
or MonoDevelop, for those kitchen-sink-framework tendencies that I have.
@lazyPower Waves.
o/ @GeorgeEdison -- How now brown cow?
Pretty good - ran into the strangest PHP bug earlier in the week.
I spent a lot of wasted time trying to track down the bug in my code.
Only to find that it wasn't my bug :)
What's worse, the bug has been "fixed" in the latest version of PHP.
So all of that time was spent finding a bug in PHP that's already been fixed :P
Happens to the best of us brother :) I spent a few hours tracking down some display issues that a designer had sent over a CSS fix for and instead of posting it on the issue-ticket, he emailed it and it got lost in teh black-hole of my email... i spent 3 hours trying to reformat a design on IE7 that hte guy fixed with a docmode declaration at the top of the file :|
so ~ 120 lines of CSS later -- i was ready to jump out a window
02:23
CSS on IE is not fun :)
At least it's better than it used to be.
Truth -- i'm thankful for awesome things like modernizr and the death of ie6
as a web developer, i think i'd go insane without those... now that i'm really digging into html5 i'm loving how it degrades gracefully in older browsers.
HTML5 is awesome.
Canvas has been really helpful for image manipulation.

file bug, submit pull request fixing it 6 minutes later. LIKE A BOSS.
And that included several minutes where I couldn't log into github. :P
03:09
Wonderful - my PC just blue-screened again.
I wonder which of these three things is causing it: upgraded graphics drivers, the new memory module I installed, or the DisplayLink driver I installed?
I havent seen one of those in a while, but when i do its always driver or faulty hardware
I'm testing the memory now.
I love how savvy ubuntu is, i was just lamenting to a co-worker today that I havent had a single issue with hardware detection, software packages breaking, or system stability in a few years. And thanks to Ubuntu's momentum to making linux user friendly I've become pretty lax on my console voodoo to get things to behave how i would expect. now that my friends, is progress.
the vertible death of the 1990's linux guy
03:26
Always be proud of the things you get to forget, instead of the things you learn
I'm... not sure... I understand that one...
04:00
the 1990's linux guy is hated by Jorge Castro , if any further explanation is required than that, i'm not sure i can explain it.. other than that was a very humble acceptance of that statement by JC
@JorgeCastro <3
04:30
It's causing my unit tests to fail :(
Aww thats no fun
By the way... does that page look alright?
It's a unit test framework I created.
you wrote this?
looking it over it seems to provide a great level of detail in debug, its reporting its test cases
04:39
Stack.PHP is my client library for accessing the Stack Exchange API.
i was referring to this unit testing interface you have here.
i'm pretty impressed over this
Yeah, I wrote that too :)
have you shared this with marco? he's the resident PHP ninja -- he'd probably be really interested in this
@lazyPower Marco... yeah, I think he saw it.
I've never really written anything of this scale before, and I wanted to make sure that the unit test looked alright.
This library is elligible for the contest.
I'm up and coming in the TDD world -- but yeah these look solid
04:43
Great, thanks.
I'm thinking of also adding some performance data (average lookup time, etc.).
that would be good for tweaking, tuning, and optimizing
I'm out for the evening. TC George.

@rlemon Try uninstalling Google Chrome and then removing the cache and configuration..
i will (again) but I had already tried that.. :(

13:31
whoa... where did ~/.config/google-chromed come from
yea
chromeD?
had google-chrome and google-chromed
removed both, and cache, and then re-installed.
so far so good :P
does restarting browser not annoy you ?
I only restart it like once a day
I like to have my work closed when i leave.
@jokerdino thankyou for making me relook in that folder. I will award you the bounty in 2 hours (stupid making me wait... ugh)
Oh I totally forgot I already answered that question.
Thanks anyway :D

no, thank you :P

nope :D

@jokerdino not a clue... but I have a sneaking suspicion it had something to do with it.
I guess so too.
Probably your session cookies where stored in google-chromed or something.
ok. lets just move on!
ahhh, i feel so good about myself and my linux experiences now.. all my little problems are starting to get solved.. and i'm actually understanding most of the stuff i'm doing to correct the situations.
that is better
@rlemon You can just present it like rm -rf ~/.cache/google-chrome* && rm -rf ~/.config google-chrome*
and like I was telling GeorgeEdison, Ubuntu has in ~60 days ruined me for Windows... every time I use Windows Explorer I find myself looking in the wrong spots for control buttons and the 'taskbar'
That I can relate to myself.
13:50
@jokerdino Answer has been updated.
I forgot to put a slash between config and google-chrome
and apparently you don't need to put &&
rm -rf ~/.cache/google-chrome* ~/.config/google-chrome*
lol
thats what I get for taking you on your word. it's ok though, i still blame @jrg
my bad
jrg

@JorgeCastro So, I hear you're talking about Unity for Powah Users.

what am I missing? Is it mandatory to add uid and gid when attempting RW mounts?
ok, looks like the following line did it for me:
//128.251.108.147/WebSite$ /home/coreyf/uslonsweb002 cifs cred=/home/coreyf/.na02passwd,auto,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,rw 0 0

@jokerdino rm -rf forces the deletion, even if its delete-protected, but not if its owned by root/another user.
config files are delete-protected in this case. so, it is right to do -rf right?
i usually don't use rm..

Roland TaylorIt's not needed since (contrary to popular lies), linux is rather secure, and you are unlikely to get a virus for linux.

Luis Alvaradofrom my experience since I did the same question you are doing I have the following: Both will be the same if what you want is stability.

21:13
no, as in a M (no V)
jrg
jrg
so a simultaneous-dual-boot?
I got the idea last night - Windows sees my HD monitor MUCH better than ubuntu, so I have ubuntu running off the VGA cable and Windows running off the HDMI cable.
Boot both at once, sharing resources (cores, ram, ect)
@jrg Bingo!
jrg
jrg
last i checked, no
awww, ohh well :P not that it would serve a purpose - just for kicks.
jrg
jrg
You can not run two O/S directly on the same hardware at the same time.
21:15
shutdown from one OS and boot to the next with my new rig is <10seconds total.
@jrg seems like it's an implementation issue to me... the hardware (theoretically) should be able to support such sharing of resources.
jrg
jrg
@rlemon Yes, its called VMs. :P
@jrg Grrr, I of course know that VMs are the solution - however I still (one day) would like to try and setup a rig to simultaneous-dual-boot
(personally I don't like VMs, never did, and don't have a good supporting reason. I always Dual Boot)

does ubuntu server have ANY DE?

lots of power users install ubuntu server, then install ubuntu-desktop.
