00:50 pdurbin sivoais: "Zotero [zoh-TAIR-oh] is a free, easy-to-use tool to help you collect, organize, cite, and share your research sources." -- http://www.zotero.org
00:50 pdurbin sivoais: is that what you want to build, basically?
00:51 pdurbin as we discussed at http://irclog.greptilian.com/sourcefu/2013-09-22
00:52 semiosis ha, reminds me of when a colleage described an idea and i said "so basically you want to build Xanadu?"
00:52 semiosis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Xanadu
00:52 semiosis btw, pdurbin, thx to your encouragement i'm now vagranting it up
00:53 semiosis not all the time, but more the never that i used to
00:53 semiosis s/more/more than/
00:56 pdurbin I know what Xanadu is
00:56 pdurbin :)
00:56 pdurbin reminds me of my niece telling me, "I know your cat's name!"
00:57 pdurbin I think I spun up 3 different Vagrant VMs today
00:57 semiosis i know you know what Xanadu is, but i also know if someone says a proper noun in you channel you ask them to give a link :D
00:57 pdurbin or i pull one of these:
00:57 pdurbin crimsonfubot: lucky project xanadu
00:57 crimsonfubot pdurbin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Xanadu
00:57 pdurbin boom
00:57 semiosis nice one
00:58 pdurbin oh, I made a new bot last night: http://irclog.greptilian.com/javaee/2013-10-02
01:00 semiosis you're donating a bot for the public good!
01:00 semiosis huzzah!
01:00 semiosis i've been active in #gitlab lately and there's no bot there... it just feels so lonely
01:01 semiosis a project's channel having a bot is like a house having a well tended lawn
01:01 sivoais pdurbin: hehe, I'm actually prototyping by using their SQLite DB
01:03 semiosis pdurbin: by popular demand, i added three features to logstashbot (they may be appreciated in #javaee too)... 1. url title snarfing, 2. url shortening, 3. ticket id lookup/linking in the issue tracker
01:03 semiosis and after leading by example with factoids now people are adding, invoking, and updating themselves
01:05 semiosis ooh zotero looks neat.  i've been using pocket a lot lately (since i fell out of love with instapaper) -- this look similar
01:05 semiosis google getpocket
01:05 crimsonfubot http://getpocket.com/
01:06 pdurbin hmm, javaeebot doesn't respond to @ but I bet it still responds to "google"
01:06 pdurbin lucky javaee
01:06 semiosis whoa, check these out! http://www.zotero.org/blog/zotero-apps-go-mobile/
01:07 semiosis oh yeah thats another thing i did for logstashbot... people have a bad habit of saying @ in irc like its twitter...
01:07 pdurbin sivoais: wat? you know about zotero? does it do everything you want?
01:07 semiosis @pdurbin: this is what i'm talking about
01:07 crimsonfubot semiosis: Error: "pdurbin:" is not a valid command.
01:07 semiosis which makes the bot unhappy
01:07 pdurbin semiosis: oh, I know, I know
01:07 semiosis so i switched the trigger key to backtick - `
01:07 semiosis and that is a winner
01:07 pdurbin i should probably do the same for crimsonfubot :/
01:07 pdurbin I see ~ and ! used as well
01:08 semiosis yes. you can also disable the error message, but that's not a real solution imo
01:09 semiosis re ~ and !, i didnt want a shifted char
01:09 semiosis backtick fit the bill
01:09 pdurbin I was wrong... javaeebot doesn't respond to "google" http://irclog.greptilian.com/javaee/2013-10-04#i_27407
01:09 grug joined #sourcefu
01:10 semiosis pdurbin: what irc network is #javaee in?
01:10 pdurbin semiosis: freenode but it's ##javaee
01:10 semiosis ahh
01:10 grug left #sourcefu
01:11 semiosis crimsonfubot: version
01:11 crimsonfubot semiosis: An error has occurred and has been logged. Please contact this bot's administrator for more information.
01:11 semiosis wtf
01:11 pdurbin lol
01:11 * semiosis tries logstashbot
01:11 sivoais pdurbin: I'll get back to you later. :-) Sitting in a meeting.
01:11 semiosis worked
01:12 pdurbin semiosis: you can run all my bots if you want
01:12 semiosis but then you'd never learn to fish
01:12 pdurbin except my ilbot (philbot, my log bot). I like owning the data
01:13 semiosis i noticed that.  and i saw what you did there, ph + ilbot = philbot -- i lol'ed
01:13 pdurbin sivoais: sure you are. my wife used to use endnote. now she's trying zotero and seems to like it. at work people use bibtex
01:13 semiosis wow vagrant up on the gitlab dev box is taking for.... evar....
01:15 pdurbin semiosis: as you know (and to your horror), I've been using some random centos base box on dropbox. now I realize puppet labs has posted some so I should probably switch
01:16 semiosis pdurbin: http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/vagrant/ and apt-get on with your life ;)
01:16 pdurbin prolly should
01:17 semiosis yeah i'm an ubuntunut and all, but they really have been doing an amazing job with their cloud images
01:18 pdurbin cool
01:18 pdurbin I looked at this again the other day and cried a little: 0006365: Publish official Vagrant base boxes - CentOS Bug Tracker - http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=6365
01:19 pdurbin but hey, at least puppet labs is publishing them now... not that I've tried them yet
01:19 semiosis i dont want kbsingh's job
01:19 semiosis but glad he does what he does
01:20 pdurbin yeah
01:20 semiosis used to use centos a ton and have huge respect for the project
01:20 pdurbin and red hat is cool with it
05:56 sivoais hehe, my meeting finally ended, but it's kind of late here :-)
05:57 sivoais Yeah, I'm currently using a mixture of Zotero and Mendeley. My project isn't exactly citation manager although interfacing with those will be important
06:00 sivoais I want be able to manipulate and organise documents in a new way, but I'm still experimenting with ideas. It's a bit slow to get off the ground because my actual research has priority. :-P
10:04 pdurbin sivoais: fair enough
10:05 * pdurbin looks at ... Free reference manager and PDF organizer | Mendeley - http://www.mendeley.com
