16:01 * pdurbin runs `git update-index --assume-unchanged` on a bunch of nbproject files after reading http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1139762/gitignore-file-not-ignoring/11366713#11366713
16:01 pdurbin and now i can rebase \o/
16:03 spilth somebody please tell me about your secret moinmoin to markdown converter project?
16:05 pdurbin spilth: http://search.cpan.org/dist/HTML-WikiConverter-MoinMoin/
16:05 spilth I want the other direction: MoinMoin into Markdown
16:06 spilth pdurbin: I spent a decent amount of time trying to get ikiwiki set up the other night. It was pretty frustrating.
16:06 pdurbin no no
16:06 pdurbin use HTML::WikiConverter; my $wc = new HTML::WikiConverter( dialect => 'MoinMoin' );
16:06 pdurbin convert it to html, then to markdown
16:06 pdurbin spilth: yeah, you need cpanm and local::lib fu
16:07 pdurbin ironcamel: ^^
16:07 spilth tl;dr
16:07 spilth :-)
16:08 pdurbin spilth: can you link to our conversation please?
16:08 spilth on G+?
16:08 pdurbin yeah
16:08 spilth https://plus.google.com/112383017680227997640/posts/2KuTszXuned - me complaining about cpan and Perl
16:08 pdurbin i understand. i felt the same way about installing ruby gems until someone told me about rvm. a real game changer
16:08 pdurbin before rvm i would just skip anything that said `gem install`
16:09 spilth well RVM is good for separating out from system ruby
16:09 pdurbin as is was incredibly frustrating
16:09 pdurbin ruby was incredibly frustrating
16:09 pdurbin :)
16:09 spilth but at least a gem defines it dependency gems
16:09 spilth no, YOU have the frustrating language dammit! :-)
16:10 spilth MY grass is greener!
16:10 pdurbin most cpan modules do too
16:10 pdurbin i'd be surprised if ikiwiki isn't doing it right
16:10 spilth Reminds me of this talk: http://www.infoq.com/presentations/Simple-Made-Easy
16:11 * pdurbin drops a link in #ikiwiki
16:12 spilth I might just be lazing out on getting the brain bandwidth to figure out what to do
16:13 spilth I did play with Gollum which is a Ruby-powered wiki (https://github.com/github/gollum) and gollum-site which turns a gollum site into a static one (https://github.com/dreverri/gollum-site)
16:14 spilth pdurbin: What I want is: cpanm install ikiwiki
16:14 spilth and then it does stuff
16:14 spilth and then I get to type: ikiwiki --setup
16:15 * spilth puts http://search.cpan.org/dist/local-lib/lib/local/lib.pm on his reading list
16:15 pdurbin cpanm ikiwiki
16:15 pdurbin you don't need install
16:15 spilth ok
16:15 pdurbin perl programmers are lazy
16:15 pdurbin it's one of our virtues
16:15 spilth ...too?
16:16 pdurbin crimsonfubot`: lucky perl virtues lazy hubris
16:16 crimsonfubot` pdurbin: http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?LazinessImpatienceHubris
16:16 pdurbin impatient too
16:16 spilth so basically I'd make a great Perl programmer?
16:16 pdurbin maaaybe
16:16 pdurbin :)
16:16 spilth :-D
16:25 * spilth is looking at http://blogs.perl.org/users/peter_edwards/2011/06/installing-local-perl-and-libraries-on-mac-book-snow-leopard.html
16:26 spilth Also interesting - https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/wiki/Gems,-Eggs-and-Perl-Modules
16:26 pdurbin no one is answering me in #netbeans, if it supports rebasing in git, so i'm doing it from the command line http://echelog.com/logs/browse/netbeans/1360796400
16:38 ironcamel spilth: most of the verbose output you see when installing cpan modules is output from running tests. one of perl/cpan's virtues in my opininion is its testing culture. most languages do no run or even have tests on installation
16:38 ironcamel *or even have tests.
16:39 ironcamel this practice generates a much more stable ecosystem
16:39 spilth ironcamel: I can appreciate that. It's just that I ended up with SO much output and warnings that my confidence that things went well was pretty low.
16:40 ironcamel yeah, well that's a good thing right, it showed you something was wrong
16:40 ironcamel instead of blindly installing things with no warnings
16:40 ironcamel then you would not know why things were not working
16:40 spilth but with several pages of output... who knows what went wrong or how severe it was
16:41 ironcamel modules want install if the tests failed
16:41 ironcamel *won't
16:41 ironcamel i suggest you use cpanm in the future
16:41 ironcamel it is quiet by default, and only prints out the errors
16:41 spilth ok
16:42 spilth I will give it a try at some point
16:42 ironcamel sudo cpan App::cpanminus
16:42 ironcamel or apg-get install cpanminus
16:42 ironcamel or whatever package manager you use
16:42 ironcamel in just use cpanm in place of cpan
16:43 ironcamel s/in/then
16:50 pdurbin if only os x had a package manager
16:51 spilth homebrew?
16:52 pdurbin heh
16:58 pdurbin spilth: from #ikiwiki, how this guy installs it: http://www.schmonz.com/2013/01/22/codemash-2013-your-dev-toolbox-everywhere
16:58 spilth pdurbin: thanks, added it to my list
17:01 spilth I'm busy crying over this LAMP documentation that assumes it also needs to teach you how to use SSH, Git and Subversion :-/
20:42 spilth https://www.action.io/ - "Managing development environments is a pain. Get setup lightning fast in the cloud & code from anywhere, on any machine."
20:45 semiosis interesting
20:50 semiosis "Code from Anywhere -- When you need to fix that emergency bug while on the beach."
20:50 semiosis i could make a joke about that being important when you're using RoR, but i'm not going to go there ;)
20:58 spilth "Action.IO is a cloud-based development environment platform with a web-based IDE and cloud VMs, and supports Ruby, Python, Node.js and more."
20:59 semiosis well RoR for now, others later probably
20:59 pdurbin no java?
20:59 semiosis hahaha
20:59 semiosis no php?
21:00 semiosis pdurbin: our languages aren't cool enough
21:01 * pdurbin cries
21:05 * spilth puts on his shades and leans back in his beach chair
21:06 * spilth gets an email alert about another Rails security release...
21:07 semiosis rofl
22:31 spilth Speaking of Rails - http://rapgenius.com/James-somers-herokus-ugly-secret-lyrics
23:18 pdurbin i've never gotten into heroku
