[00:17] <snap-l> rwcitek: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/QA/Autopilot
[00:17] <rwcitek> snap-l: thanks.
[00:17] <snap-l> np
[00:41] <rwcitek> When I created by USB boot disk from the ISO, I didn't create a sufficiently large persistent file.  Here's what I did to resize it:
[00:41] <rwcitek> cd /media/CD6A-1A89/
[00:41] <rwcitek> fsck.ext3 casper-rw
[00:41] <rwcitek> dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=1000 >> casper-rw
[00:41] <rwcitek> resize2fs casper-rw
[01:10] <jsjgruber_> What things are people trying tonight?
[01:36] <derekv> got disconnected
[01:36] <derekv> need to set some sort of script up to reestablish tunnel/ relogin to bouncer
[01:38] <derekv> I concluded that the way you serialize something could be different depending on the service your serializing it for.  so the knowledge of how to serialize it belongs with other knowledge about that service
[01:42] <derekv> I see it as the same problem as with the Object.toString in java
[01:44] <derekv> its contextual
[03:27] <greg-g> yay, doing my first backup over the wifi to the eeepc+enclosure setup
[11:26] <rick_h_> I guess I just don't get it https://github.com/twitter/bower
[11:27] <rick_h_> and morning
[11:43] <snap-l> Good morning
[11:44] <snap-l> rick_h_: Not sure what bower is trying to solve
[11:44] <snap-l> Apparently there's a need. :)
[12:11] <brousch> snap-l: My son is having fun with this app. I thought you might like it too http://mobileaccessibility.cs.washington.edu/tapbeats/download.php
[12:20] <brousch> Ut oh. Where are _stink_ and ColonelPanic001 today? http://www.freep.com/article/20120909/NEWS01/120909027/Detroit-brothel-blind-pig-10-arrested
[12:36] <UnFixed> in WSU police custody.
[12:46] <_stink_> i traded my one phone call for this shout out on IRC.
[12:47] <rick_h_> woot
[12:55] <snap-l> _stink_: Thank you. :)
[13:01] <brousch> wow http://justinholmes.bandcamp.com/track/john-q-contrib-dot-auth
[13:28] <jjesse> wow rick_h_looks like you were very busy over t heweekend
[13:28] <jjesse> rick_h_ floor looks awesome
[13:28] <rick_h_> jjesse: heh well they were installing it last week
[13:28] <rick_h_> I just got to put my house back together this weekend
[13:29] <rick_h_> still have some more to do, the stairs aren't done yet because they ran short of material
[13:29] <jjesse> ah well the floors look awesome
[13:29] <rick_h_> thanks, yea my dream floor. Always wanted a nice natural hickory floor
[13:29] <rick_h_> for the non-G+'ers like greg-g https://plus.google.com/u/0/116120911388966791792/posts/Lq7AvgVXJBo
[13:32] <jrwren> i only wish it weren't java. http://www.opendedup.org/
[16:25] <greg-g> snap-l: your "bill has been paid" emails from Ting, does the subject get the dates wrong. ie: the one I just got said "Your bill for Sep 06 - Sep 06, 2012 has been paid, thanks!"
[16:25] <greg-g> I submitted a support request to them, we'll see what they say
[16:25] <greg-g> also, snap-l, I have yet to hear back on the Fx Nightly UserAgent issue (it telling me my Fx Nightly is "out of date")
[16:35] <snap-l> greg-g: Yeah, your first bill may be a little wonky
[16:36] <snap-l> because you're putting down a deposit for the month
[16:36] <snap-l> based on projected usage
[16:38]  * greg-g nods
[16:38] <greg-g> gotcha
[17:43] <greg-g> hah, nice downtime graphic for ting: https://maint.ting.com/
[19:48] <jjesse> ok figured you guys could answer best:  is there a way to view my Nexus7 screen on my laptop?  i know on my iPad through an app I can airplay my screen
[19:49] <jjesse> just wondering if there is an app i can do the same w/ my nexus 7
[19:49] <brousch> VNC
[19:49] <jjesse> do i have to have root to install/run?
[19:49] <brousch> https://play.google.com/store/search?q=vnc+server&c=apps
[19:49] <brousch> Some say rooted
[19:50] <jjesse> the one that is non rooted is like 8 bucks
[19:50] <brousch> Yeah, and it has silly requirements
[19:51] <brousch> YOU DON'T OWN YOUR DEVICE UNTIL YOU HAVE ROOT ON IT
[19:51] <brousch> Sorry, had to get that out of the way
[19:51] <greg-g> but but but, I might brick it!
[19:52] <brousch> man-up!
[19:52] <devinheitmueller> But rooting your phone would allow you to destroy the carrier's network!
[19:52]  * greg-g pouts
[19:52] <brousch> jjesse: do you need to view the screen, or control things on it?
[19:52] <jjesse> view the screen
[19:53] <brousch> There are apps for remove control without VNC-like viewing
[19:53] <jjesse> need to do a demo of a product running on my nexus
[19:53] <brousch> That is tough. I used a few VNC servers and they are all a little flaky
[19:53] <brousch> Like some things don't show up, or are slow to show up
[19:54] <brousch> Can you use the Android emulator?
[19:54] <jjesse> i can airplay my ipad
[19:54] <jjesse> which allows me to show the scree
[19:54] <jjesse> i could go all ghetto and show hold my device up to my webcam
[19:54] <jjesse> but wanted something cooler
[19:56] <brousch> root it!
[19:57] <brousch> This seems annoying, but maybe http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/42491/how-to-remote-view-and-control-your-android-phone/
[19:58] <brousch> jjesse: does it have to be live?
[19:58] <jjesse> would be cool if live, i know i could screenshot it
[19:58] <brousch> I used a screencast recorder for some good videos for a talk
[19:59] <brousch> I don't see any real solutions without root
[20:00] <jjesse> yeah thats what i thought
[20:07] <jjesse> kinda hard to show a demo of a security related product when you have a rooted phone
[20:07] <jjesse> know what i mean?
[20:07] <brousch> No
[20:08] <brousch> Tell them it's so locked down and secure that you can't even show them a demo
[20:09] <krondor> jjesse:  some security products prefer rooted android (juniper pulse and cerberus)
[20:09] <jjesse> krondor, yes i know, but i'm working on a demo of a management product, seuccring/locking down mobile devices
[20:09] <jjesse> and would prefer to not show a rooted device :)
[20:10] <greg-g> haha
[20:10] <brousch> But wouldn't that be more informative. Look! It even works with root!
[20:10] <greg-g> that kind of security, not real security ;)
[20:10] <krondor> I'd say use the emulator is probably your best bet then.  Is it airwatch (I loathe airwatch)
[20:10] <jjesse> no its not airwatch
[20:11] <krondor> no clue if it sucks but; http://sf.net/projects/ashot/
[20:35] <greg-g> missing an s
[20:36] <_stink_> ashost?
[20:36] <greg-g> :P
[23:31] <snap-l> Wow, GoDaddy mograted their DNS servers to Verisign
[23:31] <snap-l> because they're suffering a DDoS
[23:33] <rick_h_> https://twitter.com/steveklabnik/status/245260185357131776
[23:34] <snap-l> Yeah, that's the other show
[23:34] <snap-l> shoe, rather
[23:34] <rick_h_> amz route 53, I'll get my domains all there one day
