08:51 sivoais pdurbin: I've been looking closely at flow-based programming for the past couple weeks :-)

09:54 pdurbin sivoais: yeah? :)
16:13 sivoais yep, I've been trying to do a little mental survey of the different ways of implementing dataflow programming
16:14 sivoais I've been interested in it ever since I made a lab automation system in LabVIEW. I realised that working with that is much easier than writing event code by hand
16:22 sivoais being able to wire up black boxes is a very engineering-based mindset
16:24 sivoais Petri nets, electric circuits, chemical plant design...
16:24 sivoais *electronic
16:26 sivoais ETL systems also have the same idea
16:27 sivoais I need to look more into them to see if they have similar ways of treating databases
17:45 pdurbin searchbot: lucky labview
17:45 searchbot pdurbin: http://www.ni.com/labview/
17:52 sivoais it's a visual programming language for working with hardware like thermocouples, motors, etc. Usually over some sort of serial interface
17:52 sivoais often used for prototyping hardware
17:53 sivoais it's quite bad for writing logic (as most visual programming languages are), but for routing information around, it works quite well
17:57 pdurbin sivoais: I wonder if you'd like http://embedded.fm
17:58 sivoais hah, I just shared that here the other week. I was looking for C language podcasts
17:58 sivoais ;-)
17:59 sivoais ugh... e-mail. I've let it stack up too high
