07:32:17 PMGoodGuy Gotta be your turn sooner or later
07:32:37 PMchrisreich I swear, any year now I'm going to give up on Sandra Bullock.
07:32:52 PMTacoWan whoo hoo I'm taking win off my i5 computer now that steam is almost ready
07:33:02 PMGoodGuy I have an optical nurse that looks like a younger version of hers
07:33:12 PMtic-toc Don't know I have it on ubuntu
07:33:19 PM_Jot_ TacoWan, just remember that just cause steam runs on linux, it doesn't mean most games will
07:34:35 PMDave-Maydew they will though _Jot_ :-)
07:34:56 PM_Jot_ that's the plan I hope :)
07:35:50 PMDave-Maydew Now I feel like a kid again!!
07:35:53 PMDave-Maydew Elite
07:36:15 PM_Jot_ I have a copy of that including the novel that came with it

07:36:47 PMDave-Maydew with it
07:36:57 PMDave-Maydew memories
07:37:36 PMtic-toc The days of 8 bit games
07:37:51 PM_Jot_ I sure could use them, since the electrics failed here in the city due to fire :)
07:38:01 PM_Jot_ going to be months before it's back to normal and fixed and such
07:38:26 PMDave-Maydew RobbieF is wishing
07:38:28 PMDave-Maydew hahaha
07:38:36 PM_Jot_ RobbieF, new microphones don't help because you'll just forget to plug those in too
07:38:45 PMtic-toc shinny things... lol
07:39:04 PMrobgor guilt trip RobbieF
07:39:51 PMrobgor I would sign up if I was in canada or usa
07:39:55 PM_Jot_ RobbieF, are you sure you can? Don't you need to prepare?
07:40:01 PMbalsamiqLeon Hi, just wanted to add that I'm a Balsamiq employee, available for questions via chat
07:40:11 PMDave-Maydew that stare is good in 32" lol
07:41:13 PMSovereign Wow after months of use I finally saw the mute button on BSP
07:41:15 PM_Jot_ RobbieF is artistically handicapped?
07:41:59 PMGuest_hArrY WACOM head managed tablet for @Robbief
07:42:21 PMDave-Maydew This is why I liked using VB.net etc
07:42:23 PM_Jot_ thanks for being here balsamiqLeon
07:42:37 PMDave-Maydew but then I saw the error in my ways
07:43:15 PMalbertr is it HTML5?
07:43:37 PMtic-toc When I draw pictures it looks like I did it with my feet. :)
07:43:56 PMDave-Maydew I know that feeling
07:45:34 PMDave-Maydew oh no not Red Shhhhhhhhhh
07:47:15 PMDave-Maydew this is what scares new users to Linux
07:47:20 PM_Jot_ and of course people can download the show later and watch it again and again to follow along more slowly and repeat stuff if they need
07:47:56 PMDave-Maydew many I talk to think we have to compile everything
07:48:17 PMDave-Maydew Adobe have discontinued a couple of things
07:48:41 PMrobgor RobbieF isnt a opensource version of adobeair available?
07:49:31 PMpopey nope
07:49:52 PM_Jot_ probably won't be since discontinued so no point really
07:49:52 PMDave-Maydew A new mapping app called iMaps
07:49:57 PMDave-Maydew oops
07:50:46 PMDave-Maydew The only mapping system that gets you lost
07:50:59 PM_Jot_ you lost me Dave-Maydew
07:51:27 PMDave-Maydew I lost myself a while ago
07:53:18 PMDave-Maydew I like it
07:53:25 PM_Jot_ it should be a smiley face RobbieF
07:54:00 PMDave-Maydew Hey Scorpio55
07:54:10 PMDave-Maydew didn't see you till just
07:55:19 PM_Jot_ Lorem Ipsum of course RobbieF
07:55:37 PMtic-toc Come and buy my crap....
07:56:08 PMDave-Maydew thats WallMart
07:56:16 PMtic-toc yes it is
07:56:23 PMDave-Maydew too many L's
07:56:32 PMbalsamiqLeon typing "lorem" will automatically create lorem ipsum text, btw
07:57:04 PM_Jot_ very useful :)
07:57:05 PMajamison5579 who here actually speaks Latin and can tell me what Lorem Ipsum means
07:57:32 PM_Jot_ I don't speak latin but I know it is an actual article something to do with the bible I think
07:57:32 PMDave-Maydew everyone is google'ing it as we speak
07:58:03 PMTheChrista The original Lorem Ipsum used to be a Latin prayer
07:58:15 PMTheChrista I'm not sure it is anymore, I think it's been comp'd since then
07:58:41 PMajamison5579 oh so developers are pushing their Latin religions on us when they use filler text
07:58:44 PMajamison5579 how rude
07:59:23 PMDave-Maydew right guys, I must go
07:59:40 PMDave-Maydew but I shall be back next week
07:59:54 PMDave-Maydew my dog needs to go out, and then it's bedtime
08:00:03 PMTheChrista see you Dave-Maydew! Cheers!
08:00:06 PMDave-Maydew _Jot_ I shall chat soon
08:00:09 PMtic-toc see ya
08:00:14 PMDave-Maydew see ya Christa
08:00:25 PMDave-Maydew bye
08:00:28 PM_Jot_ have a good night Dave-Maydew
08:00:47 PMDave-Maydew I'll try
08:00:51 PMDave-Maydew ;-)
08:01:22 PM_Jot_ ajamison5579 the original text used to be like that perhaps, but what you get doesn't even make sense, it's changed purely for text-filler-qualities etc
08:01:44 PMchrisreich good night all. 'till next week.
08:01:55 PMalbertr thanks for the show all ;^)
08:02:03 PM_Jot_ RobbieF, don't forget balsemiqLeon was here for us in the chatroom so we got our questions answered already by him too
08:02:28 PMtic-toc good show
08:02:48 PMJImBobMedia____ Great Show as Always !!!!!!!
08:02:49 PMbalsamiqLeon great demo
08:04:47 PMGarbee RobbieF, Nice show. Twas good to see an actual Ubuntu Phone demo unit running.
08:05:18 PM_Jot_ I thought demo units where supposed to crash, or is that only with apple and microsoft
08:05:53 PMDennis_Kelley Great Show RobbieF and TheChrista
08:06:02 PMTheChrista Thanks folks! Thanks for joining us tonight
08:06:19 PMTheChrista Robbie promises that he'll let me talk next time I'm on. Baby steps you know. ;)
08:06:36 PMrobgor Great show like always RobbieF and TheChrista
08:07:18 PM_Jot_ TheChrista, did he say 'talk on air'? because he can be tricky
08:08:14 PMTheChrista He did say "smile on air" I assumed that meant I could talk as well. I'll read the fine print next time.
08:08:27 PMTheChrista But it was a great interview, so I'll let it slide this time!
08:09:16 PM_Jot_ next time when you want to say something, just kick him under the desk so he'll be too hurt to speak
08:09:24 PM_Jot_ then you can talk as long as you want
08:10:00 PMTheChrista haha, thanks Jot, I am glad I have approval to kick Robbie....now whenever it happens I can say "Jot made me do it"
08:10:14 PM_Jot_ uhoh
08:10:36 PM_Jot_ wow, my viewer points suddenly are minus 4 billion
08:10:53 PMRobbieF thanks gang!
08:10:55 PMRobbieF hope you had fun
08:11:04 PMrobgor oh well jot wont be winning anymore prizes lol
08:11:21 PM_Jot_ that's okay, I still feel a winner :)
08:11:27 PMDennis_Kelley Night All!
08:11:42 PM_Jot_ good night Dennis_Kelley
08:11:53 PM_Jot_ still having fun RobbieF
08:22:31 PMrobgor Damn I need more space on my hd to fit games from steam :(
08:22:56 PMRobbieF Yes robgor, yes you do.
08:23:29 PMrobgor RobbieF only got a 120Gig SSD
08:23:35 PM_Jot_ I took the liberty to delete all the work from your drive robgor, you won't be working when you're playing anyway, so now you have lots of space
08:24:44 PMrobgor Jot the funny thing is I have a PS3 and a Wii and hardly play them, just decided to try steam when it came out
08:25:18 PMrobgor and thanks for deleting my work I didnt need it anyway LOLO
08:25:50 PM_Jot_ I use steam a lot myself, haven't tried it on linux though. I can get pretty steamed about stuff sometimes too
08:27:33 PMrobgor yeah I have put it on both my desktop and laptop
08:28:13 PMrobgor with the laptop being a bit more of a pain with the drivers due to it being the optimus
08:29:11 PM_Jot_ yeah, laptops usually are more difficult
08:31:51 PMrobgor hmm just added trine2 looks interesting
08:32:16 PM_Jot_ I have that too but haven't played it yet, due to not having finished trine1
08:35:55 PM_Jot_ don't have the expansion to it either yet, guess that'll be something for the next sale :)
08:36:18 PMrobgor oh well think I will go out to the garage for a bit and work on my project car, seya all
08:36:26 PM_Jot_ have fun!
08:36:48 PMrobgor will do
08:37:20 PM_Jot_ RobbieF, nice demo but I didn't like the colour, can you change that?
08:37:27 PMRobbieF :-D
08:47:36 PM_Jot_ I'm sure TheChrista could, she's good with design, so why can't you RobbieF :P
08:54:01 PMTheChrista Because Robbie isn't "the Robbie" he's just Robbie
08:54:29 PM_Jot_ ah, that's a good explanation
08:54:46 PMTheChrista and, that is the answer to all lifes questions as well
08:54:46 PMRobbieF hehe
08:54:57 PMRobbieF I'd create a color layer in GIMP and make it green!
08:55:26 PM_Jot_ green with envy?
08:55:57 PM_Jot_ I do actually have a serious thing that I consider a RobbieF-design-flaw about something he did
08:56:52 PM_Jot_ there's Bekahs book, A white rose, and it has about 4 times the title 'A white rose' on the cover and on the first pages. But, each time in a different font, and sometimes not matching the fonts around it, so I'm like 'geez, pick one or at least make it match'
09:02:58 PMTheChrista By folks! I'll see you all soon....in a galaxy far far away
09:03:05 PMTheChrista ....or right here on Cat 5. Cheers!
09:03:07 PM_Jot_ have a great week TheChrista
09:03:17 PM_Jot_ we'll be here waiting :)
09:04:41 PMGarbee RobbieF, Did you even timeline the Cat5 site?
09:05:03 PMGarbee It is horrendous with the moving menu. under 30FPS at some points.
09:05:07 PMGarbee ;)
09:05:14 PMGarbee Shoot for 60 man.
09:05:24 PM_Jot_ 60 is the new 30?
09:05:52 PMGarbee 60 is what sites should go for as far as a FPS.
09:06:06 PMGarbee It provides nice smooth animations/rendering.
09:06:30 PMGarbee You can actually tell looking at Cat5 when you scroll down it renders pretty slowly.
09:06:35 PMGarbee It even looks jaggedy at times.
09:07:38 PM_Jot_ item for the newsroom: Garbee is secretly a gamer
09:07:47 PMGarbee heh
09:07:50 PMGarbee I rarely game anymore.
09:09:25 PM_Jot_ things are really smooth to me, can't tell how much FPS it is etc, but maybe it depends on the browser too
09:09:50 PMGarbee Yea, it can depend on browser.
09:10:07 PMGarbee But still, it is going to be crap in most since it is using position:absolute;
09:10:12 PMGarbee That is CPU bound rendering.
09:10:47 PMGarbee That should be used as a fallback, instead opting for a transform effect or something else to make it GPU bound for modern browsers/systems.
09:11:17 PM_Jot_ ah, but RobbieF is an old bald nerd, can he make such a transition
09:11:22 PMGarbee I haven't seen any demos for making menus like that GPU bound though. It is on my list of things to figure out.
09:12:18 PMRobbieF haha Jot; next time I'll remember to make the first 15 pages of any book the title, repeatedly, in different typefaces.
09:14:50 PM_Jot_ :) I think actually the different fonts aren't really bad because of the purpose where they are, but on the back its very obvious because you have 3 or 4 fonts there with different spacing, because you probably wwanted more text there later and had to alter it to fit, that needs more work
09:15:20 PMRobbieF hehe
09:15:37 PMRobbieF do you remember how quickly I put that together (on the air)? :)
09:16:17 PM_Jot_ well, you might do a 2nd printing sometime, so I figured I'd comment now about it :)
09:16:37 PMRobbieF :)
09:16:38 PMRobbieF cheers
09:16:55 PMRobbieF my copies got lost in the mail, so I haven't got to see it yet (to proof it and make revisions)
09:16:55 PMGarbee So, I published the module I have been working on. Let's hope the LS team accepts it vs rejecting.
09:16:58 PMRobbieF so you have a first-run copy
09:17:12 PMGarbee Wow, Jot got his before Robbie.
09:17:20 PMGarbee That is how bad the CA postal service is now...'
09:17:37 PMRobbieF Canadian Postal service is crap
09:17:53 PM_Jot_ I did buy mine from amazon UK, so it was printed there, that makes a difference as well
09:18:13 PMRobbieF leave it to them to "lose" a package in the mail around Christmas time. I pretty much GUARANTEE you some jackass working at a post office thought it was a gift (sizeable box) and took it home for himself.
09:19:15 PM_Jot_ mine was supposed to arrive before the power-failure, but they didn't feel like delivering that day, even though it fit in the mailslot, so they wouldn't even have to wait around for me to come get it
09:19:30 PM_Jot_ otherwise I would probably have finished it already too :)
09:19:52 PMRobbieF with no power, what else would you do? :)
09:19:55 PMRobbieF how far in?
09:20:42 PM_Jot_ I've not started to read it yet, because I wanted to wait untill today, or if the power failed again
09:20:52 PMRobbieF PS - if you like it, please review it on amazon. If you don't like it, don't ;) hehe
09:21:57 PM_Jot_ even though there are good reviews already? well, I'll see :)
09:22:16 PMGarbee "Take only what you need from it"
09:22:26 PMRobbieF I can't even SAY it Garbee.
09:22:46 PMRobbieF I've yet to find a framework I "like" though
09:22:48 PMGarbee Robbie, You don't need to be able to pronounce something to fall in love with it.
09:22:51 PMRobbieF I tend to build my own
09:23:00 PMGarbee I think Laravel could be the one for you.
09:23:05 PMGarbee Because it is so modular.
09:23:09 PMRobbieF cool.
09:23:14 PMRobbieF pop me a note tomorrow @work
09:23:15 PMGarbee Sadly I think it basically relies on composer though. :/
09:23:17 PMRobbieF I'll have a look
09:23:25 PMGarbee Unless you end up doing dep management manually.
09:23:31 PMGarbee mkay, I'll do my best to remember.
09:23:53 PMGarbee No docs yet. But the super cool thing is that it is an IoC framework.
09:23:57 PMGarbee Making testing *super* easy.
09:24:42 PMGarbee Because you basically create dummy (functions iirc what they are called) which you can plug into things. Making testing far easier/faster/reliable than previous methods.
09:24:48 PM_Jot_ Garbee, I hope RobbieF won't reject that thing you made either. Oh wait, he's not in charge of that, so you'll be fine I'm sure
09:24:59 PMGarbee I actually heard one dev say it is basically impossible to properly test PHP without IoC capabilities.
