oooh it's 7 ... big bang theory is on

jrg

Never watched it.

aking1012

@jrg you sir, have not lived

jrg

I've been disgusted with every TV show made in the past 5 years. (except for Pan Am)

aking1012

it's nowhere near as sac-nerd-religious as never watching star wars @jokerdino nudge nudge

George Edison

Hmm... shared memory isn't going to work with my event loop...

Back to JSON-RPC...

aking1012

11:03 PM

well, big bang theory is a funny-ish fairly cerebral sitcom

@GeorgeEdison heh

George Edison

Now if only I could find documentation for it...

aking1012

looking for real documentation on gir Gtk feels about the same...

btw @jrg there are gir ruby bindings either in dev or working

jrg

Q: Ruby bindings for GTK+ 3?

I’ve spent some time learning Ruby, and I wanted to move over to some GUI programming. GNOME 3 is the environment most appealing to me at the moment, so I thought I would have a look at GTK+ 3. However, the GTK+ 3 documentation’s Getting Started examples in C were quite off-putting. Are there les...

yeah, i've know about those. They are still a PITA to manage though.

aking1012

yeah...i can imagine

although i find the flexibility of ruby to be more frustrating than enlightening most of the time

jrg

That's why I'm excited about jruby and swt, makes it a lot easier to deal with.

aking1012

11:07 PM

yeah. i'm so anti-java it's not even funny

George Edison

Hooray for Doxygen!

So there is documentation after all, I just have to generate it.

aking1012

:) yeah... gir is still lacking even if you generate it

>>dir(Gtk) is my friend

jrg

Hulu seems to think that I'm A. in need of a Windows Phone, B. in need of a wife via ChristianMingle.com, and C. An IT pro that needs even more cloud backup.

aking1012

You can select "not relevant" in the top bar

jrg

The only one that is slightly true is C, and even that is like "I've got enough already, thanks"

@aking1012 i've done that.

George Edison

11:12 PM

This is getting worse - there are no examples anywhere.

ajmitch

@jrg surely B would apply also? :)

jrg

just sent me to car commercials. Don't need one of those either.

aking1012

oh...i get car commercials a lot

jrg

@ajmitch LOL

aking1012

@jrg beat me to it

jrg

11:13 PM

LOOK. A CREDIT CARD COMMERCIAL. THIS IS JUST LIKE TV!!

aking1012

the alec baldwin one right?

jrg

Yup.

The lowes one is fun.

Always wanted to smash the bathroom into bits. :P

aking1012

there are two of them. there's also one with the back deck

George Edison

There is this: packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libqxmlrpc-dev

jrg

I haven't seen that one.

aking1012

11:15 PM

@jrg oh you will

jrg

@GeorgeEdison face it, there are no docs. just go write your own, like i almost always do.

George Edison

ᴅᴇᴀʀ ᴅᴇᴠᴇʟᴏᴘᴇʀs, WRITE DOCUMENTATION PLEASE!!!

aking1012

you mean:
'''
'''
isn't documentation? it gets you passed the pylint check

^--intended to be a joke...

George Edison

/**
  * TODO
  */

aking1012

hehe...same thing

George Edison

11:21 PM

Yeah, something useful like that.

aking1012

you know what linux needs? a virtual network device that responds to arps for gateway so you can use bridged networking in virtualization software with no cable connected

jrg

That Time Warner commercial was funny.

@aking1012 oh please yeas please.

that won't win "Best User Experience" award, but it sure as heck would be useful.

aking1012

it would definitely win the "most hackish workaround" award

MJB

Would it be possible to search all unclosed questions with X answers? Or all wikis?

jrg

There are details on how to do that here - askubuntu.com/search

11:37 PM

@bob I dropped a comment on your vnc question

bob

If I intercept all packets in input, and send their content through a raw socket destined to myself, will they be intercepted again ? What about output/prerouting/postrouting ?

@aking1012 ok thx i'll check it

aking1012

Probably not. If memory serves the kernel drops everything it thinks could cause a loop like that

MJB

@jrg totally missed that, eventhough I knew about it. Thanks.

bob

@aking1012 I answered it.

@aking1012 the implicit question is, are you sure it would really cause a loop ?

@aking1012 I mean, if I send a packet to myself, does it go through the input chain ?

aking1012

it seems like the kernel would drop/disregard before it got to even a divert-sockets rule unless you're in promisc
