Time Nick Message 00:54 pdurbin holy crap, Ctrl-a F to resize gnu screen. awesome: http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/manual/html_node/Default-Key-Bindings.html 01:35 pdurbin hmm, if I resize the window, long links aren't clickable though. oh well 01:37 pdurbin in general, I gotta say that I'm liking weechat (over irssi). It feels very similar and comfortable but there are some nice improvements, such as the input bar that grows and the list of nicks on the right 01:37 pdurbin it seems to demand more horizontal space, so I'm breaking from my 24x80 habit for a bit 01:37 pdurbin hence the resizing, I guess :) 01:48 pdurbin interesting: tmux is sweet as heck - fuzzy notepad - http://me.veekun.com/blog/2012/03/21/tmux-is-sweet-as-heck/ 01:49 pdurbin but I'm not enough of a screen power user to appreciate tmux, I think 10:54 melodie hello 11:31 pdurbin melodie: we're here :) 11:35 melodie hello pdurbin :) 11:42 melodie how are you ? 12:12 pdurbin good. today's the deadline (I think) for submitting talks for JavaOne. I was thinking about submitting a talk about Vagrant and posted it to a Google+ Community that has 25,000+ people in it. I'm disappointed that there's very little interest though: https://plus.google.com/107770072576338242009/posts/7SKn4Y6yEx9 :( 12:18 melodie pdurbin number does not always mean interest ? Is that right ? Do you have any stats about the visits in Google+ ? 12:18 pdurbin buh. no, I don't 12:18 melodie about single visits, how long people stay there, which pages they have seen and so on ? 12:18 melodie do you have a Wordpress blog ? :) 12:18 melodie (me likes magic) 12:18 pdurbin I guess that's the downside of using Google+ ... no insight into page views, etc. 12:19 pdurbin do people still read blogs? ;) 12:19 melodie if you have a Wordpress blog you can add extensions to all your other social places and have a strong network 12:19 melodie do people read blogs ? ::) 12:19 melodie here are clues : 12:20 melodie just a few, http://wordpress.com/ 12:20 melodie XD 12:20 melodie they put a nice picture today :) 12:20 melodie I come back in a few minutes, I have to solve a little issue in my distro 12:21 pdurbin melodie: all I see is "watch a video" 12:21 melodie we don't see the same thing 12:21 pdurbin maybe this: http://en.wordpress.com/stats/ 12:21 pdurbin almost 64 million wordpress sites 12:22 melodie I see a picture with someone in the blur at the end of the place (large room) and hundreds of people standing to assiste the lecture 12:24 melodie I'm back in a moment to tell you more about it 12:24 melodie I'm sure you would be very happy with a good wordpress well configured 12:34 melodie pdurbin in Midori is different than in Firefox: http://meets.free.fr/images/wordpress.png 12:36 melodie this is my blog at wordpress.com http://meylodie.wordpress.com/ 12:36 melodie this is the 2012 annual report for that one blog: 12:36 melodie http://meylodie.wordpress.com/2012/annual-report/ 12:37 melodie I wrote only one new article on it in 2012 and the blog has been visited 2000 times (which is related to the lack of activity) 12:37 pdurbin cool 12:37 pdurbin I *do* have a little crimsonfu blog: http://crimsonfu.github.io/members/pdurbin/ 12:38 melodie and here is the presentation of the wordpress tool and community: http://wordpress.org/ 12:39 pdurbin melodie: do you worry about security? I feel like wordpress has a bad track record 12:39 melodie pdurbin in wordpress you can install nice plugins which send a summary of the posts you publish, in one shot to facebook, linkedin, google+ and mostly all social places where you are registered. it also can send a ping to the search engines with the title summary and key words of your posts 12:40 melodie pdurbin I have security installed to my blogs : the ones which I own and for the one hosted at wordpress.com I don't have to worry about it 12:40 melodie I can tell you about it 12:41 melodie pdurbin Wordpress does not have a bad track record : all CMS build with php do. 12:41 melodie I have faced a situation and found on the web all the resource to make my blogs stronger 12:41 pdurbin melodie: I agree :) 12:41 melodie and among all the opensource cms blogs, wordpress is the only one I know which has some much power 12:42 melodie it is easy to use to start with, and it is W3C compliant 12:42 melodie it has people who yearly offer hundreds of free themes at no cost or very little cost, all more beautiful than the other 12:42 melodie and so many plugins to do all sorts of things 12:43 pdurbin I agree with all of this :) 12:43 melodie all you need is an efficient host who knows how to configure his servers correctly 12:43 melodie 5 minutes to install, not much to update, never a problem with updates (one back in 2008 that I reported, but was fast fixed once reported) 12:44 melodie easy to maintain and now easy to make it a multisite/multiblog 12:44 melodie here is one of my multiblogs: http://citrotux.org 12:44 melodie here is one I did for a friend who is also my client in the matter: http://lecopot.com 12:44 melodie and will soon be in several languages 12:45 melodie the english one is just started : http://lecopot.com/en 12:45 melodie the multisites can be as subsites or sub-domains, it's a choice to be done when installing it. 12:45 melodie I have other ones elsewhere too :) 12:46 pdurbin melodie: this is more my style of blogging... with the command line: Blogging Like a Hacker - http://tom.preston-werner.com/2008/11/17/blogging-like-a-hacker.html 12:48 melodie you won't have all the features a wordpress blog provides with command lines, unless you find or write all the equivalent code to bash or such. Is that right ? 12:48 pdurbin crimsonfubot: lucky octopress 12:48 crimsonfubot pdurbin: http://octopress.org/ 12:48 pdurbin melodie: octopress is some people get more features out of blogs like this 12:50 melodie the page at octopus points to jekyll : is it the same jekyll that you use for blogging with Markdown ? 12:51 pdurbin yes. the crimsonfu website is a jekyll site 12:51 pdurbin melodie: you are welcome to fork our repo on github and send us a pull request for a guest post :) 12:52 melodie I have no coding knowledge. :) 12:52 melodie and I don't even know how to use github 12:52 pdurbin you could do this all in your browser 12:52 melodie guest posts exist for wordpress but last time I tried it was much too sluggish 12:53 melodie it exists in drupal but drupal is too much work to put hands on for a result which is related to how long the webmaster has worked on it 12:53 pdurbin melodie: here are some screenshots of how to do it from your browser: https://github.com/perl-doc-cats/perl-tutorial-org-data/pull/4 12:54 melodie should be Ikiwiki not IkiWiki 12:54 melodie I agree in that kind of thing 12:56 melodie pdurbin does your type of blogging allow you to have automatic partial forwards from your blog to your social network ? does it allow you to follow fine stats ? does it allow you to ping the main search engines each time you publish a new post ? 12:56 melodie if you say all to this you don't need a wordpress blog 12:57 melodie if there are 20000 people on the same place at google+ registered and you received let's say 3 comments, then something is not right 12:57 melodie either they are not pinged about new posts, or they registered and forgot to stay connected, or the seach engines didn't notice your publication 12:57 melodie ... 12:59 pdurbin those would be nice features 12:59 melodie I do have them all in my wordpress blogs 12:59 melodie but I don't fully take advantage of them because I was busy doing other things 12:59 melodie :) 13:00 melodie however I will continue doing efforts to use them better 13:00 melodie I have twitter accounts too and I have to remove one or two... probably 13:02 melodie pdurbin do you code in php too ? 13:03 pdurbin melodie: a little: https://github.com/pdurbin/lmp-legacy 13:03 melodie the wordpress plugins are of course all coded in php 13:03 melodie I am looking here now : https://f.cloud.github.com/assets/21006/314588/c485d4fa-97ce-11e2-92a2-8928fc6b5dd2.png 13:04 melodie are you using comic sans for a font ? 13:04 pdurbin I don't know. whatever the default is. I'm on a mac right now 13:05 melodie I think the Arial font is one of the best for reading the web pages. 13:05 melodie comic sans is a bit old fashioned... 13:06 melodie and not so easy to read on the screen also 13:10 pdurbin if I'm using comic sans I think I'm supposed to be embarrassed about that 13:11 ben_e heh 13:16 melodie pdurbin it's just that there are fonts more appropriate for the console and for the web :D 13:16 melodie I must confess that when I discovered comic sans the first time I liked it very much too. 13:32 melodie bbl 15:45 pdurbin interesting: Jmeter used to playback Apache access logs to generate live-like server load | artur.ejsmont.org - http://artur.ejsmont.org/blog/content/jmeter-used-to-playback-apache-access-logs-to-generate-live-like-server-load 16:05 semiosis jmeter :( 16:06 semiosis it's a neat tool, and can do some fancy tricks, but oh my is it a PITA to use 16:06 pdurbin oh 16:06 pdurbin oh well 16:07 semiosis don't get me wrong, i have effectively load tested web sites with it, and it got the job done well, but it seemed harder to learn/use than it should have been. 16:16 pdurbin gotcha 16:17 pdurbin that was via http://www.evanchooly.com/logs/%23glassfish/2013-04-12 16:17 pdurbin someone just mentioned pureload as an alternative 16:17 pdurbin crimsonfubot: lucky pureload 16:17 crimsonfubot pdurbin: http://www.pureload.com/ 19:36 pdurbin must read: http://infotrope.net/2007/07/17/elaines-rule/ 19:38 semiosis tried dragging that link from konversation to chromium, both crashed! 19:39 semiosis rich comments on that page 19:40 semiosis “strip all the interesting functionality, just make it easy to install†19:40 semiosis lol 19:45 pdurbin dunno if people saw me asking about simple plotting of performance over time yesterday: http://irclog.perlgeek.de/crimsonfu/2013-04-11#i_6693552 19:46 pdurbin how long it takes curl to download a public url 19:46 pdurbin a couple graphs/plots: 19:46 pdurbin http://dvn-5.hmdc.harvard.edu/data/plot.png 19:46 pdurbin http://dvn-5.hmdc.harvard.edu/data/output.png 19:46 pdurbin and the code: http://dvn-5.hmdc.harvard.edu/data/ 20:00 whorka this is also the kind of thing that mrtg and rrdtool are good at 20:01 pdurbin absolutely 21:17 pdurbin hmm. one guy is interested in vagrant at javaone. and... looks like the deadline was extended: https://plus.google.com/107770072576338242009/posts/5VHdDuje9Uv
