|
pdurbin |

| 00:25 |
|
melodie |
I'll have to go to sleep now but I wanted to tell you to check the last lines |
| 00:25 |
|
* pdurbin |
gives philbot a treat |
| 00:25 |
|
melodie |
just before you were disconnected |
| 00:26 |
|
melodie |
yes, philbot was here all the time as far as I know |
| 00:26 |
|
pdurbin |

| 00:26 |
|
melodie |

| 00:26 |
|
melodie |

"The best place on the web to learn anything, free." -- http://www.noexcuselist.com ... hmm, "<aj>" ... maybe that came from #linuxchix. looks interesting |
| 00:35 |
|
soulshake |
thanks :) |

soulshake |
yeah, i haven't used it much but i like the idea and it's a good collection of resources |
| 00:36 |
|
pdurbin |
http://www.noexcuselist.com/everything you mean. yeah. very nice |

"The internet has changed the way we access information, communicate and learn. There are thousands of websites that can teach you everything you'd want to learn about for free. There's no longer an excuse for not being able to learn something. I wanted to create a website that will point people towards the best places on the web to learn what they want." -- http://noexcuselist.com/about |

pdurbin |

pdurbin: indeed. that really is the beauty of the internets |
| 01:46 |
|
pdurbin |
yeah |
| 01:47 |
|
pdurbin |
I think what I have in mind for this community is something a bit more... curated, I guess. with people recommending courses they've taken, lectures they've enjoyed, etc. |
| 01:49 |
|
soulshake |
interesting. what else are you going for, ultimately? |
| 01:51 |
|
pdurbin |
well, this IRC channel is a big part of it. people helping each other out |
| 01:57 |
|
soulshake |
for me… that's the biggest obstacle |
| 01:58 |
|
soulshake |
lack of mentorship, or at least a person or a place where i can just go ask for a point in the right direction. |
| 01:58 |
|
soulshake |
adopt-a-noob :D |
| 01:59 |
|
pdurbin |
heh. sure |

"with all theses universities providing courses online wouldn't it be nice to have an IRC chan, which could be dedicated to them all ?" -- http://irclog.perlgeek.de/linuxvillage/2013-04-18#i_6720792 |
| 02:00 |
|
pdurbin |
that was the original idea, the original question, from melodie |
| 02:00 |
|
soulshake |
it's so true |
| 02:00 |
|
pdurbin |
soulshake: we're all noobs on most topics. :) |
| 02:01 |
|
soulshake |
and how |
| 02:01 |
|
soulshake |
this kind of thing could be really useful |
| 02:03 |
|
soulshake |
a channel full of friendly, helpful, nerdy renaissance souls? yes please |
| 02:03 |
|
soulshake |
reference librarians for the internet |
| 02:03 |
|
pdurbin |
heh. sure. why not |
| 02:04 |
|
pdurbin |
have you ever heard of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge_Search ? as part of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naver ? |
| 02:04 |
|
pdurbin |
it's out of Korea |
| 02:05 |
|
pdurbin |
I heard Joel Spolsky talk about once. on a stackoverflow or stackexchange podcast. how it's common in Korea for people to ask each other questions online, almost in the way many of us use Google for search |
| 02:06 |
|
pdurbin |
I think it's a powerful idea |
| 02:07 |
|
pdurbin |
I mean, yes, the idea of "let me google that for you" makes sense to me too but sometimes you want a recommendation from a real person |
