true. I just wish I could edit my LUA in emacs and then have it loaded into WoW as quickly as I can load python into a blender text buffer (red ring button = win)

archwiki to the rescue

@David with two monkeys, your system doesn't work. one of them stops moving but the other keeps spinning around the marker.

CharlesL

arch wiki is love, arch wiki is life

@MutantBob does WoW require a restart or something?

Mutant Bob

way off topic : both Alucard from Hellsing Ultimate and the smuggler from the Knights of the Old Republic trailer had super-wide-brim hats. I have not seen any similar hats for sale in the real world.

CharlesL

@MutantBob wannabe cowboys

and yes, those brims are disproportionate

Mutant Bob

@CharlesL I am pretty sure WoW requires a restart if you change out an addon. I use the ArbitraryCommands addon which lets you edit LUA in an in-game editor, but it's clumsy and not emacs.

CharlesL

7:57 PM

@MutantBob ick. They should just point at a file in tmp that you can edit and autoreload.

Mutant Bob

I suspect that would run afoul of sandboxing or something.

Remember, WoW is a target of hackers. People steal imaginary gold and sell it to people for $$.

gandalf3

oh my. \o\/\o/\/o must installez nowww

CharlesL

@gandalf3 YEAH!!! ANOTHER BSPWM CONVERT!

@gandalf3 just a heads up, make sure to grab someone elses dotfiles to start, otherwise it's hard to cover everything

gandalf3

Though I must say lua scripting sounds nicer than bash scripting

CharlesL

and I'd recommennd sxhkd for the hotkey daemon

@gandalf3 yeah, but lua can shell out ;)

gandalf3

8:00 PM

true

@CharlesL I'll see.. That's the fun part :)

CharlesL

@gandalf3 this is all you have to do: github.com/charles-l/dotfiles/blob/master/bspwm/.sxhkdrc

Mutant Bob

Well, LUA has better variable scoping than bash, but I don't know LUA's API for spawning subprocesses.

gandalf3

Bash has really unusual syntax

CharlesL

that file's a little out of date, but you get the idea. You call bspc with a command, and sxhkd will bind a key combation to the command

@MutantBob yeah... but you don't really need to do too much of that with bspwm

it's just one off commands

gandalf3

hm

CharlesL

8:03 PM

depends on how much time you have/how much customization you want

bspwm is a little lighter weight

gandalf3

So should be no problem to implement my nice dmenu shortcut

CharlesL

and easier to tie in with other utilities (it's more unix-ish)

@gandalf3 github.com/charles-l/dotfiles/blob/master/bspwm/.sxhkdrc#L16

gandalf3

more unixish than..?

CharlesL

@gandalf3 awesome

gandalf3

oh

@CharlesL But that's two keystorkes!

CharlesL

8:04 PM

awesome comes with batteries but is less easy to integrate with other things

gandalf3

Can't have that, that takes nearly 100ms to press D:

@CharlesL I like customizing stuffs :)

CharlesL

super
   dmenu_run

gandalf3

:O That works, without interfering with other super-shortcuts?

(like super RMB for e.g?)

CharlesL

yeah, i think so

it's on key-release not key-press

gandalf3

\o/

I wished openbox did that

CharlesL

8:06 PM

that's just sxhkd, bspwm doesn't handle keypress. just layout :)

gandalf3

I see

More unix like :)

CharlesL

i'll have to test it later, but i think that works crosses fingers

@gandalf3 exactly

if not, you could easily include xcape

gandalf3

^^

CharlesL

just add it to .xinit

gandalf3

BTW what display manager do you use/recommend?

CharlesL

8:08 PM

i've been using i3 for the last few days, but i'm going to be switching to bspwm again soon \o/

oh, what do you mean by display manager?

gandalf3

(they have their own display managers?)

CharlesL

like with multiple monitors?

gandalf3

wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Display_manager

^^ login manager

CharlesL

ah, gotcha

i personally just log into a tty and startx

but i've used slim in the past

and wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Qingy is interesting since it doesn't depend on X11

gandalf3

ah

CharlesL

8:10 PM

but i think slim's pretty good

gandalf3

I've been using lightdm. slim sounded interesting, but apparenty it's been abandoned :/

wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SLiM

CharlesL

oh no!

that sucks... :(

lightdm is probably ok then

i just have a general hate of freedesktop projects

wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LXDM might be good because lxde is a nice lightweight wm

they write some pretty good stuff

gandalf3

Perhaps I'll give qingy a go too (while I'm switching wms, might as well switch dms :P)

Or lxdm

CharlesL

ok, just a heads up with qingy

it uses directfb instead of X, which means it might have some permissions issues

(i tried to use it a few days ago and it didn't work)

but my arch setup is wonky (steam crashes all the time, etc)

gandalf3

I'll try it

CharlesL

8:16 PM

ok, lemme know how it goes :)

gandalf3

:D

Hmm directfb is down o.o

CharlesL

uh... that's not a good sign..

archwiki?

gandalf3

They just have an external link T_T

wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Qingy#Adding_a_session_entry

Ah well, I'll see if it works :P

CharlesL

lol, they copped out

TESTING IN PRODUCTION

JUST DOO ITTT

gandalf3

\o/

CharlesL

8:19 PM

my gosh, why does this room throttle me. I'm a freaking owner!!

gandalf3

lol ikr

it does that to me too

How dare it.

CharlesL

ugggg

Well this is worrying.. It was removed from the AUR

o.o

8:26 PM

this site is too much fun: memegen.link

gandalf3

Ah well, it's still in the mirror!

CharlesL

lol

merging from develop is the best part of my day ¬.¬

merge conflicts are such fun...

gandalf3

lol

urg.. g2g, I'll see if I still have a login manager after I get back :P

CharlesL

this latest PR had so much weird magic, because Rails is opinionated

so yeah... i hope i don't get into too much trouble

gandalf3

o.O

???

CharlesL

8:30 PM

my work stuff :P

have you used Ruby/Rails at all?

@gandalf3 k hope it works :)

GiantCowFilms

9:06 PM

@gandalf3 You get a prize!

One thing though, shouldn't we use the blend file icon from the site?

@gandalf3 You keep on out designing me! Ahhh D:

Can you add the gimp/psd (if you can save a psd from gimp) file to the repo: github.com/GiantCowFilms/Blend-Exchange/tree/master/designFiles/…

Also, last thing, save it at double res (440 x 500) SE will accept it and its higher quality for 4K displays.

@gandalf3 Important! Can you change it to long term intstead of permanent. (If we use permanent we need fine print) I don't like to use it since it is misleading

BE is not permanent, not in the legal sense. Through some odd means I may have to shut it down, and there is no guarantee that the files will stay forever.

Also the font could be thicker... its hard to read.

Nice one though, definitely going to adopt it.
