| Penrosian | wsup | 16:48 |
|---|---|---|
| Penrosian | hello | 16:49 |
| jelkner | So which of you is Penrosian? | 16:49 |
| Penrosian | Benjamin | 16:49 |
| jelkner | ah, super | 16:49 |
| jelkner | i assume Websterss is Kara? | 16:50 |
| jelkner | or josuah? | 16:50 |
| jelkner | who? | 16:50 |
| Penrosian | neither of them are in | 16:50 |
| jelkner | ah | 16:50 |
| jelkner | Penrosian: please help them fix that! | 16:50 |
| Penrosian | joshua is on his school computer rn so he can't join | 16:51 |
| jelkner | Welcome Kara! | 16:51 |
| Kara | thanks! | 16:51 |
| jelkner | he can, using the web interface | 16:51 |
| jelkner | all you need is a browser | 16:51 |
| Kara | hi im Joshua on Kara's laptop | 16:51 |
| jelkner | Try connecting through the web interface | 16:52 |
| jelkner | web client | 16:52 |
| jelkner | hold on | 16:52 |
| Kara | its blocked | 16:52 |
| Penrosian | webchat.oftc.net is blocked | 16:52 |
| jelkner | really? | 16:53 |
| jelkner | wow | 16:53 |
| jelkner | ok | 16:53 |
| jelkner | give me a minute | 16:54 |
| Kara has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) | 17:05 | |
| Kara has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) | 17:06 | |
| Kara has quit (Ping timeout: 480 seconds) | 17:15 | |
| jelkner | Penrosian: ask Kara to please not quit | 17:19 |
| jelkner | we want to stay in the channel the whole time we are in class | 17:19 |
| jelkner | i'll be able to ask tboimah to look at the log for this tomorrow morning | 17:20 |
| jelkner | and to talk to zOnny about what we are doing on saturday morning | 17:20 |
| jelkner | we're going to try to get in the habit of "hanging out" here whenever we are at our computers | 17:20 |
| jelkner | that increases our opportunity for *unplanned interactions" | 17:21 |
| jelkner | it helps build the threads to that connect us as a remote learning community | 17:21 |
| jelkner | Penrosian: are you here? | 17:24 |
| Kara | im back | 17:27 |
| jelkner | Great to have you back Kara! | 17:29 |
| jelkner | btw, you can tab complete nicks | 17:29 |
| jelkner | i just have to type P + [tab] to get Penrosian | 17:29 |
| Kara | thats nice! | 17:29 |
| jelkner | another thing to note is that irc users (i'm certainly guilty of this) are generally lazy and don't like to type capital letters ;-) | 17:30 |
| jelkner | so often you'll see everything typed in lower case | 17:31 |
| Kara | i can get behind that | 17:31 |
| jelkner | (the school teacher in me can hear the English teachers screeming that we're killing the language! ;-) | 17:31 |
| jelkner | another useful thing about our irc logs is that it makes it easy to share links | 17:32 |
| jelkner | so, if i ask you now to paste the links of the code you are working on | 17:32 |
| jelkner | can you? | 17:32 |
| jelkner | i'll be able to talk to tboimah about this tomorrow | 17:32 |
| Kara | yeah just like normal right? | 17:33 |
| jelkner | Kara: did you ever start the ToDo app of your own that you mentioned to me last class? | 17:33 |
| jelkner | +1 | 17:33 |
| jelkner | another convention | 17:33 |
| Kara | yeah ive started but haven't done much until today | 17:33 |
| Kara | i see | 17:33 |
| jelkner | used to vote, or simply to affirm something | 17:33 |
| jelkner | +1 - yes | 17:33 |
| jelkner | -1 - no | 17:33 |
| jelkner | 0 abstain (or don't care) | 17:34 |
| Kara | makes sense | 17:34 |
| jelkner | so when you see someone type +1 it means they agree or affirm what you are saying | 17:34 |
| jelkner | me too | 17:34 |
| Kara | +1 | 17:34 |
| jelkner | LOL | 17:35 |
| jelkner | i have to admit i love irc | 17:35 |
| jelkner | it *just works* | 17:35 |
| jelkner | we use it day after day and it's always there for us | 17:35 |
| jelkner | as a late 1980s internet protocol | 17:35 |
| Kara | i love it when things work | 17:35 |
| jelkner | it uses *very* little resources | 17:35 |
| Kara | how long have you used it? | 17:35 |
| jelkner | since 1993 | 17:36 |
| Kara | wow thats a while | 17:36 |
| jelkner | when the dinosaurs still roamed the earth | 17:36 |
| Kara | lol | 17:36 |
| jelkner | i became a free software activist that year | 17:36 |
| jelkner | i was in a masters degree program in CS | 17:37 |
| jelkner | and we were on VAX computers | 17:37 |
| jelkner | using a compiler called gcc | 17:37 |
| jelkner | when i looked into gcc | 17:37 |
| Penrosian | i mean gcc is still used today i think | 17:37 |
| jelkner | it sure is, Penrosian | 17:37 |
| Kara | not VAX computers? | 17:38 |
| jelkner | thought it's undergone a bit of a change in acronym | 17:38 |
| jelkner | gcc orginial stood for "GNU C Compiler" | 17:39 |
| jelkner | GNU itself is a recursive acronym | 17:39 |
| jelkner | for GNU's Not Unix ;-) | 17:39 |
| jelkner | anyway gcc now stands for | 17:39 |
| jelkner | the GNU Compiler Compiler | 17:39 |
| Penrosian | isn't it GNU Compiler Collection? | 17:40 |
| jelkner | and it supports most of the common programming languages in existance | 17:40 |
| jelkner | ahh | 17:40 |
| jelkner | maybe so | 17:40 |
| jelkner | i've heard both | 17:40 |
| Penrosian | the website refers to it as GNU compiler collection | 17:40 |
| Penrosian | https://gcc.gnu.org/ right at the top | 17:41 |
| jelkner | Yup | 17:41 |
| jelkner | Regarding VAX | 17:41 |
| jelkner | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VAX | 17:41 |
| jelkner | its a historical machine | 17:42 |
| jelkner | no longer made | 17:42 |
| jelkner | anyway, i have a rather unusual personal history that way | 17:43 |
| jelkner | since in found linux by wanting to run gcc at home | 17:43 |
| jelkner | i didn't come to gcc through linux | 17:43 |
| jelkner | i started using linux on my personal machines in 1993 | 17:43 |
| jelkner | and have done so ever since | 17:43 |
| jelkner | ACTION done | 17:44 |
| Penrosian | it seems we have very different reasons for starting to use linux lol | 17:44 |
| jelkner | do tell | 17:44 |
| jelkner | btw. another little irc thing you can do - /me will write your nick | 17:45 |
| jelkner | so i typed: /me done | 17:45 |
| jelkner | ACTION waits to hear Penrosian's story | 17:45 |
| Penrosian | I originally used it on a laptop I built from parts in computer club in middle school because I didn't feel like messing with windows keys | 17:45 |
| jelkner | nice | 17:46 |
| Penrosian | after that I used it a lot on my server(s) | 17:46 |
| jelkner | can someone please ask Kendyl if she is ready for me to come over? | 17:46 |
| Penrosian | then I got fed up with using windows and decided to switch to linux as a daily driver | 17:46 |
| Penrosian | yes | 17:46 |
| jelkner | ACTION is on his way... | 17:47 |
| Penrosian | lol | 17:47 |
