@HackToHell ok what was that?
 
8:03 AM
@jokerdino It's real.
@HackToHell For a Python course.

@jokerdino odd
 
@amith send me the bash script. i'll check if it works
/me evil laugh.
hi @kan, if you want to learn more of ubuntu, you should seek more.
(i have no idea what i said)
 
kan
@jokerdino True. Ask and you shall be given. :-)
 
8:48 AM
there are more sexy commandline tools compared to GUI tools
 
kan
People keep saying this. How do we learn about them? Some link?
 
@kan... Ahhh!! A2 is out and I'm only up to Week 2 -frets-
 
@Mochan: don't worry about it and do it at your own pace ;p
@jokerdino: throwing that on my phone ;p
 
@JourneymanGeek ಠ_ಠ
 
kan
8:52 AM
@Mochan No. Please don't worry!
You can catch up.
 
@Mochan: You already missed the deadlines for those weeks.
so, just catch up ;p
 
@JourneymanGeek what?
@amith I am going to kill you for your script
3
 
@jokerdino: looks like a good resource to have handy
 
O = 'How many' M='Assignments' G = 'Are there?' >> print(O + M + G)
 
@jokerdino :P
 
8:53 AM
@JourneymanGeek i have it in here :)
@AmithKK it doesn't reset and it almost killed my session.
 
@Mochan: 2 + final exam
 
wat
It's supposed to kill your session
 
@amith i have a script that almost works.
 
hence setsid
:P
 
yeah, but killed as in, it almost forced me to logout and in
@Mochan ??
 
8:55 AM
So basically, I need to be on time before final exam?
 
i am not even being mean to you and you show me that face? pouts
 
@jokerdino Wrong person XD
 
kan
@Mochan Yup. :-)
 
@jokerdino Post it :P
 
@Mochan ok o.O
 
8:55 AM
Nuuuu don't be mean!! It was a mistake!! ;A;
 
@kan :D
@AmithKK hold on
@Mochan why not ;B;
 
@Mochan: You need over 75% total to get the cert
 
@kan ty :P
 
kan
@jokerdino Sorry, pinged the wrong person. :(
 
@JourneymanGeek Fingies crossed!
XDDDD
 
8:57 AM
what's wrong with you people pinging the wrong person?
 
@Mochan: I wouldn't worry about that at this point
 
kan
@Mochan Which week's lessons are you doing?
 
@jokerdino You mean, what's wrong with us and us all pinging you
@kan Week 2 video 4
 
@Mochan hm that yeah
 
@jokerdino We're used to it by now. Everytime we tag someone it always starts with 'jokerd' even if we don't mean to write it.
 
8:59 AM
i am worried
 
kan
@Mochan OK. If you are struck, ping me here... I will be glad to help. It would be great if you put all your efforts into this until you catch up. That's not very long!
@jokerdino I guess there's :P somewhere there. :P
 
@kan I hope. I'll try catching up quickly, I have downloaded all the videos onto my phone so I can watch them when needed. I'll try catch up before the 21st (due date and my Mother's birthday :P)

9:01 AM

@JourneymanGeek Weak browser PSSSH
 
@JourneymanGeek Amith and I hanging out
 
9:02 AM
Must be firefox on windows ;p
oh, on G+?
 
Truedat
 
yeah
 
9:17 AM
me is back~
 
@jokerdino \o
 
o/
my caah is so faast
 
Python people:
Here are two example calls for the function count_vowels:

>>> count_vowels("moose")
3
>>> count_vowels("scratch")
1


Which of the following would be the best name for the count_vowels parameter?
vowels
word
input
int
I thought word.
 
input?
 
kan
And, you're ... right.
 
9:20 AM
what's going on?
 
@kan Word is right?
@jokerdino Python quiz on the video lecture.
 
oh great
 
kan
@jokerdino The question above is very subjective. It's sort of a meta point that your parameters should have an intuitive name.
@Mochan Yes.
 
@kan Ty, I am in debt of you
 
(she says that every two days)
@Mochan when did i say i find it annoying?
and when was i whining? -.-
@Mochan FINE
 
9:23 AM
@jokerdino Don't get angry o~o
 
I was implying nothing. sigh
 
FINE
There.
 
this is difficult. I salute all those men.
 
?
 
i am not going to say anything.

Q: compiz problems - no effects work, despite the fact that they seem to be properly configured

user97551I've looked through some posts about compiz and either haven't found the answer, or haven't understood what's been said. Could someone help me out? I installed ubuntu 12.04 through windows 7 (so I can dual boot) and installed compiz and set up the settings I want (hotcorners etc). For a while i...

 
@jokerdino Well same
 
does unity + compiz have hot corner?
 
@Mochan ty
@penreturn you can set it up
 
@jokerdino =.=
 
i see... ahhh need to switch to unity to answer that T..T
 
9:27 AM
@Mochan i don't know why we are fighitng.
i mean, i don't even know you at all.
 
@jokerdino Conflicting views.
Both probably have conflicting traits
 
o.O
that sounds like my liking
 
I am... short-tempered and logical. If something doesn't make sense it bugs me, and because of my short-temper, it quickly turns into frustration, which as human nature usually causes an argument faster. Agree?
@jokerdino ?
 
kan
@jokerdino I am a poor math major and you want me to buy that book? =(
 
@Mochan If we have conflicting views, i should be disagreeing.
@kan there's a free pdf
 
9:30 AM
Like when I don't understand what you guys are talking about, I'll often Google it because it will bug me that I can't have an input because I don't know enough.
@jokerdino Not on everything. Maybe about contextual stuff.
I know you were joking.
 
Yeah, I was joking.
laughs
 
laughs
Buzz me if you need anything. I'm a bit irritable today.
 
I guess not.
 
@jokerdino ?
 
@kan, if you want, i can copy it to U1 for you to download.
@Mochan you are irritable. So, I guess not.
i like people who don't mind being annoyed ;p
but i don't like to be annoyed.
 
9:33 AM
@jokerdino Oh
@jokerdino Then you probably don't like me most of the time
 
@Mochan i don't think it matters at all.
 
kan
@jokerdino Please... I can't find the free pdf.
 
@jokerdino: The secret to people not annoying you is not being annoyed ;p
 
@kan one sec.
@JourneymanGeek that annoys me
 
@JourneymanGeek +213781294798 that's some philosophical mess you got going on there
 
9:34 AM
@jrg Are you on Hyperoptic?
 
Hi @WilliamHilsum
 
@WilliamHilsum: no, you are
 
@Mochan hi
@JourneymanGeek hehe, just saw he posted a Hyperoptic Speed Test and wondered!
 
@Mochan: but entirely true ;p
 
@WilliamHilsum he just posted yours
 
9:35 AM
@JourneymanGeek Extremely
 
^ that
 
ahh... feel a bit like an idiot now!
 
@WilliamHilsum no problem.
 
(thankfully, I am hard to annoy)
tho, @jokerdino has seen me get annoyed once or twice I guess
 
@JourneymanGeek those Indo buggers?
lol
 
9:37 AM
@jokerdino: not really
 
i am trying to think when i saw you get annoyed.
 
I think today, with the one where someone accused me of being pedantic when all I was trying to do was keep his question from being closed ;p
 
what a smarty pants
 
@jrg readying your comments :P haha... FYI, Windows Client, Ubuntu Server! :) ... (well, I have a couple of Windows Servers for internal things!)
 
>.>
 
9:38 AM
lol
 
@Oli - just catching up on chat... No need to kill anyone for those speeds - if you are in London, come to our office! :) We are set up just like any customer on our network / there is no difference and you can try 1Gb/s internet! :) (The offer goes to anyone here in exchange for continuing Ubuntu help! :) )
 
@WilliamHilsum surprisingly, I think he is in London.
Or England.
what was that?
 
Python people:

Recall function convert_to_celsius from the Design Recipe lecture. That function has one parameter representing a temperature in Fahrenheit and returns that temperature in Celsius.
Another function named usa_city_temperature returns the current temperature in a given American city (in Fahrenheit, naturally). For example:

>>> usa_city_temperature("Atlanta")
72

Write a one-line expression that calls both convert_to_celsius and usa_city_temperature. It should give the temperature in Seattle (an American city) in Celsius. Be careful about capitalization and spelling!
Would the answer be convert_to_celsius(usa_city_temperature("Seattle"))?
 
sounds right to me
 
works fine
 
kan
9:43 AM
@JourneymanGeek spelling of celsius.
 
@JourneymanGeek Yeah?
 
@kan @Mochan : Other than that spelling thing ;p
 
@kan My bad. Ty
 
@Mochan: thats how I think I did it
 
Awesome, thanks guys.
 
kan
9:44 AM
Everything else is fine. =) Sorry for being pedantic.
 
It's wrong. I'll try without the city.
 
@kan: actually, that helped ;p
 
Both wrong.
 
one moment
 
@kan Yeah it did. I wouldn't have picked it up.
WAIT
 
9:45 AM
which exercise is that?
 
Wrong spelling
nvm
 
face-hi-palm
 
All good~ thanks~!
 
happens!
 
9:46 AM
jk, don't kill me
 
Was just about to.
You escaped swiftly, bro.
 
thx bro
 
Week 3 now. After this should I do A1?
 
kan
@Mochan Yes...
 
9:47 AM
but if you don't get it marked, then you may need to try uploading it later
 
kan
Week 3 is fairly easy.
 
how long is this course?
6 months?
 
8 weeks
 
that's not terribly long.
 
@kan t
 
9:48 AM
i'll do it next month
 
most of the coursera courses are about that long
 
@jokerdino It's over next month
 
@Mochan they'd archive it somewhere
 
@Mochan: I think the courses are still acessible after that
 
@JourneymanGeek Really? Ooh. Well then, joker, go ahead.
Pressed enter prematurely -.-''
 
9:50 AM
@Mochan as you say, your Highness.
 
@jokerdino ...
 
@Mochan 's actually started 3 weeks behind ;p
 
what's wrong?
 
@JourneymanGeek truedat
 
yay chrome remote works again
 
9:52 AM
@jokerdino If you call me 'your Highness', I will be your Queen, understand?
 
ok bro
 
o0
Looking through coursera...
"equine nutrition"
SAY WHAT?
 
@JourneymanGeek lollllllllllll
 
also check universityofreddit
 
9:54 AM
@Mochan: learn to use that tool, some exercises need it
 
@JourneymanGeek -dies-
 
@Mochan: XD, how cute.
EVERYONE feels that way about the python visualiser
 
kan
@Mochan And, it is insightful. It would help understand the programming aspect well; minimize mistakes that arise out of not understanding IP and OP. This is just my opinion.
 
input and output.
hey, i know that!
 
@jokerdino: GIGO FIFO!
 
9:56 AM
i have some vague idea that you are something really bad
 
lol
Garbage In/Garbage Out
 
@JourneymanGeek Oh I am glad ^_6
 
@JourneymanGeek oh
 
@jokerdino lol
 
@Mochan: Its a good way to do a quick check to see if something works
 
9:59 AM
@JourneymanGeek Yeah Hm...
