11:01 aditsu oh no, we are getting outnumbered by the bots
11:02 pdurbin technically, that's true
11:02 pdurbin aditsu: invite your friends
11:05 aditsu hmm maybe my few irc friends, my irl friends generally don't use irc
11:07 aditsu ah, gcj is coming soon, that's an opportunity
11:08 aditsu a ton of contestants will be on irc :)
11:09 pdurbin searchbot: lucky gcj code
11:09 searchbot pdurbin: http://gcc.gnu.org/java/
11:09 pdurbin searchbot: lucky gcj code jam
11:09 searchbot pdurbin: http://code.google.com/codejam/
11:10 pdurbin aditsu: "the infamous Google Code Jam" you mean :)
11:11 aditsu pdurbin: yeah, they have the #gcj channel, too bad the name clashes with the compiler :p
11:12 pdurbin heh
11:12 aditsu searchbot: lucky numbers
11:12 searchbot aditsu: https://www.apple.com/mac/numbers/
11:12 pdurbin aditsu: I remember being impressed you had 7 submissions in 7 languages last year: http://irclog.greptilian.com/sourcefu/2013-04-13#i_5169
11:13 aditsu huh
11:13 aditsu I was expecting some lucky numbers, not an apple link :p
11:14 pdurbin over in ##jsf people occasionally jump in and say, "I'm so excited there's a channel about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_Strike_Fighter_program !!" ;)
11:14 pdurbin then they're severly disappointed
11:14 aditsu haha
11:17 aditsu this year I might (at last) use a language that I wrote myself
11:17 pdurbin wow. nice
11:17 pdurbin does it run on the jvm?
11:17 aditsu don't get too excited though, it's a very simple golfscript-style language
11:18 aditsu I wrote an interpreter in java
11:18 aditsu I have to make it public before the contest though
11:19 aditsu it's not quite finished yet
11:21 pdurbin aditsu: have to? that's one of the rules?
11:21 aditsu yeah, https://code.google.com/codejam/faq.html#tools
11:22 pdurbin ah, so matlab is ok because octave is open source. interesting
11:25 pdurbin aditsu: before your language is made public... would you say it's a "proprietary language"? I was debating what this term means here: https://plus.google.com/+PhilipDurbin/posts/XuGaoFRtxPk
11:25 pdurbin (with ironcamel, who was also impressed with your 7 languages in the link above)
11:26 aditsu :)
11:26 aditsu yeah I saw that discussion, it depends on what you mean by it
11:26 aditsu but I guess I could say that
11:27 aditsu it's my own and currently nobody else can use it, that's pretty proprietary
11:28 pdurbin yeah. I would
11:28 pdurbin anyway, splitting hairs, I know. but words are important to me :)
11:42 pdurbin aditsu: dunno if you're aware of this new VirtualJUG group: https://www.youtube.com/user/virtualJUG/videos
11:43 pdurbin I've been trying to keep up with their videos and they're good
11:46 pdurbin when they introduced ##virtualJUG they explained how they will be capturing the text from their channel during each session: http://www.meetup.com/virtualJUG/messages/61245722/
11:47 pdurbin and they have been. in practice, they create a Google Doc for each session to copy and paste the chat transcript into. and they link to the doc from each youtube video. works great
11:47 pdurbin but I wonder if they'd be interested in free peristent logging. I was thinking about offering
11:49 * pdurbin drops a link in their channel to this conversation
11:56 pdurbin it might help with the 24/7 part of "This IRC channel will run 24/7 on freenode in channel ##virtualJUG and will be the hub of the vJUG community collaboration."
15:52 aditsu pdurbin: it sounds familiar but I wasn't aware what it was, seems interesting
16:17 aditsu maybe I was confusing it with videojug..
19:21 pdurbin yeah
