01:59 pdurbin just watched "What most schools don't teach" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKIu9yen5nc about http://code.org
02:02 pdurbin "Code.org is a non-profit foundation dedicated to growing computer programming education.  Our goals include: Spreading the word that there is a worldwide shortage of computer programmers, and that it's much easier to learn to program than you think. Building an authoritative database of all programming schools, whether they are online courses, brick+mortar schools or summer camps."

16:01 spilth Has everybody seen http://www.code.org/ by now? "Every student in every school should have the opportunity to learn to code"
16:03 pdurbin spilth: ^^
16:03 spilth ah :-)
16:04 pdurbin good video
16:05 pdurbin i watched the longer version too, which made me sad that lots of kids don't know what a computer programmer is
16:08 spilth There's also http://coderdojo.com/ - "a global collaboration providing free and open learning to young people, especially in programming technology"
16:12 spilth I should volunteer for one of those at some point.
16:52 pdurbin heh. overheard: "what's that new thing from facebook? graphical search?"
17:39 codex can someone give me a hand w/ glusterfs -- i have it working but curious about some theory
17:44 * semiosis can try
17:44 semiosis codex: probably better in #gluster though
17:45 pdurbin could always link it up here later
17:47 codex http://www.gluster.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Gluster_File_System-3.3.0-Administration_Guide-en-US.pdf
17:47 codex ch5 -> 5.5 (pg15)
17:48 codex Creating Distributed Replicated Volumes
17:48 codex i set that up, but when i write, it's writing to 2 of the 4 nodes, and never syncing to the other 2
17:49 semiosis codex: please join me in #gluster to continue this
17:49 codex ok
17:51 spilth http://robots.thoughtbot.com/post/44226007664/introducing-learn-for-iphone - "We’ve started with the very valuable Trail Maps, guided paths for learning modern development technologies and practices."
17:55 spilth Their Trail Maps inspired what I'm working on putting together at work
21:33 spilth http://developers.slashdot.org/story/13/02/28/1824250/is-codeorg-too-soulless-to-make-an-impact - Slashdot pointing to Dave Winer complaining about code.org
21:33 pdurbin heh. souless
21:33 pdurbin soulless
21:33 pdurbin ooo, dave winer
21:33 pdurbin my favorite
21:34 spilth eh
21:39 semiosis i liked what Jack Dorsey had to say... "I think that great programming is not all that dissimilar to great art. Once you start thinking in concepts of programming it makes you a better person...as does learning a foreign language, as does learning math, as does learning how to read."
21:39 spilth or play an instrument
21:40 semiosis +1
21:41 semiosis eek, reading this dave whiner post and there's just so much wrong with it
21:41 semiosis i'm sure the comments on /. are rich
21:41 semiosis this is so pugnacious
21:41 spilth I read his post before I saw it on Slashdot.
21:41 spilth Sometimes I think about blocking myself from his site
21:41 semiosis never heard of him
21:42 semiosis 6. Don't mind being misunderstood. <-- well, dave, if more people knew about programming we wouldn't be so misunderstood!
21:42 semiosis c'mon
21:43 semiosis ok that was fun
21:43 * semiosis gbtw
