03:47 pdurbin "@philipdurbin that's how I feel too ... I don't think I'm going to add new languages in 2013. I have enough space-of-things-I-don't-know in Haskell & Agda." -- https://twitter.com/dysinger/status/286962900873121792
03:49 pdurbin spilth: oh good, haskell is one of the seven in that book you mentioned: "Ruby, Io, Prolog, Scala, Erlang, Clojure, Haskell" -- http://pragprog.com/book/btlang/seven-languages-in-seven-weeks
03:53 pdurbin spilth: i read slashdot for many years. i left a comment here: https://plus.google.com/+CmdrTaco/posts/fp6Y76QzDb6
03:55 pdurbin i'd suggest a tool to help enforce the coding standards the team has agreed on. a tool like perlcritic: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Perl-Critic/
03:55 pdurbin makes it less personal
03:57 pdurbin ironcamel: nice article but as the comment points out the link to the crowdtilt homepage is a 404
04:04 pdurbin speaking of 404's i'm disappointing that http://use.perl.org/article.pl?sid=00/09/25/194213 is a 404 now. i had used that in that google+ post. at least this still works: http://use.perl.org/use.perl.org/print5f63.html?sid=00/09/25/194213
04:04 pdurbin disappointed*

15:51 spilth "The path to high availability on Rails is to simplify the problem until it can be solved by an app that just does attachments and comments." - https://twitter.com/angryonrails/status/287224242204983299
16:09 pdurbin heh
16:44 spilth http://gistflow.com/ - looks like a community of developer blogs. Or just another Twitter.
16:46 pdurbin wow. that looks great
16:47 pdurbin might put sourcefu out of business
16:47 pdurbin http://gistflow.com/all
16:48 spilth I got to it from the Ruby5 Podcast which pointed to this post: http://gistflow.com/posts/136-benchmarking-with-ruby
16:48 spilth I think that's a good exemplary post
16:49 pdurbin huh. it even supports comments
16:49 spilth It could also replace my devlog. Lots of features that make it appealing - a community of users, tags, liking, bookmarking, nice format
16:50 pdurbin it's like stackoverflow (which i love) but more discussion-y
16:50 spilth search, notifications, sharing
16:50 pdurbin the fact that it's backed by git is a huge win. instant data liberation. just like i get with ikiwiki
16:51 spilth and less draconian?
16:51 pdurbin yeah. don't get me going now. remind me to link you to some g+ posts
16:51 spilth haha
16:52 pdurbin and the code itself is open it seems. the devs: https://github.com/gistflow?tab=members
16:52 spilth I love StackOverflow too but sometimes wish it was a little looser. Gistflow is a nice compliment/competitor
16:52 pdurbin compliment, i'd say
16:52 spilth It's a Rails app with comments and attachments :-D
16:53 pdurbin heh
16:54 spilth Oh and Markdown support <3
16:54 pdurbin spilth: here. i think it's all linked from here: Born Geek ยป Stack Overflow Hates New Users - http://www.borngeek.com/2012/01/04/stack-overflow-hates-new-users/
16:55 spilth Thanks. Added to my reading list
16:57 spilth So many places to post, discuss, ask...

17:11 spilth My first stab at a Gistflow post - http://gistflow.com/posts/609-content_for-sidebar-in-jekyll
17:14 spilth Hrm, might be nice if they didn't automatically put your email address in your profile.
17:50 rruma1 joined #sourcefu
18:15 pdurbin spilth: yikes! i mean i don't care but yeah, your email address isn't on your github user page. for a reason, i presume
18:16 pdurbin oh, wait, yes, it is there. so what's the problem?
18:16 spilth so it is
18:17 spilth but, I can remove it on github and it says: "Email (will be public)"
18:18 spilth I guess they assume if it's public on GitHub they can make it public too.
18:20 pdurbin how does auth work? oauth?
18:21 spilth it signs in via GitHub
18:25 pdurbin some proprietary github thing?
18:25 spilth No, I guess oAuth. That familiar "go sign in with this other tool" login.
18:26 pdurbin ok. probably oAuth checks if the email is public or private
18:27 spilth Not sure why it surprised me now :-|
18:45 pdurbin heh. "Scott Cantor is a former web applications developer who learned that working on security software didn't involve designing user interfaces and immediately changed jobs" -- http://shibboleth.net/about/team.html
19:14 pdurbin heh. that guy just wrote me back with "fixed, thanks" a couple minutes after i pointed out a typo at http://shibboleth.net/about/advanced.html :)
21:15 raprasad joined #sourcefu
22:24 spilth Oh svn:externals, how I wish we had never met...
22:28 pdurbin crimsonfubot: lucky svn:externals
22:28 crimsonfubot pdurbin: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/ch07s03.html
22:28 spilth No! Don't even look!
22:28 pdurbin heh
22:28 pdurbin thank goodness we're moving to git
22:29 spilth It's just a bad practice to use them, IMHO. I used to be gung-ho about them but you just end up getting bitten by them.
