- # [07:59] <cardona507> BOOM
- # [08:01] <cardona507> anyone else for sure getting one or got one already?
- # [08:05] <tw2113> can't claim yes
- # [08:05] <tw2113> i managed to get my head going on microformat stuff
- # [08:05] <tw2113> the problem is how things are declared based on which html version you're using
- # [08:06] <tw2113> i think html4/xhtml need profiles declared on the <head> tag while html5 moved it to <link rel="profile"> tags
- # [08:09] <tw2113> i wonder if i can get a WordPress plugin to do a string replace on someone's <head> tag
- # [08:10] <tw2113> might be a bit intrusive though....they'll look at their header.php file and see it normal, then the source will show something else
- # [08:10] <cardona507> that might be tricky
- # [08:11] <tw2113> yeah, at worst, i'll have to have this plugin leave notes saying "paste this in your <head> area"
- # [08:12] <tw2113> but it'd be nice to make all of this microformats stuff as automated as i can

- # [13:34] <MrWax> how can I find out since what time a certain API is included in the HTML5 standard?
- # [13:34] <MrWax> For example, I would like to know this about web workers
- # [13:58] <Moo--> MrWax: try #whatwg working group channel
- # [14:01] <Ms2ger> He did
- # [14:06] <Moo--> :(
- # [14:06] <MrWax> ok but i know it now :P)
- # [14:06] <MrWax> :)
- # [14:06] <MrWax> Actually if anyone has any input on this (i dont know if this is the correct channel to ask in)
- # [14:07] <MrWax> I'm helding a small presentation in some days, and specifically i talk about what HTML5 can do for a web app (such as the CMS I develop some additions for)
- # [14:07] <MrWax> and now I'm trying to filter what's most appropriate
- # [14:07] <MrWax> I'm trying to give examples etc, but since the short duration of it (20 mins) i decided to just speak through the syntax changes (why and for what important etc) and in the second 15 mins discuss the 5 (HTML5) APIs that I consider as most valueable potential addition to the CMS
- # [14:08] * Joins: ideamonk (~ideamonk@122.167.36.10)
- # [14:09] <MrWax> For now I'm going to talk about Offline Webapps (localStorage, IndexedDB, App cache), WebWorkers, but still looking for some appropriate things that are important for the CMS
- # [14:10] <MrWax> only those 2 of the 5 HTML API chapters are final, i'm still considering contenteditable as 3rd and 2 more
- # [14:15] <MrWax> The thing is i need to give concrete examples in what the APIs can do for the CMS (c.q. its end users)
- # [14:17] <Moo--> MrWax: is the WYSIWYG support becoming any better with html5?
- # [14:19] <MrWax> yes this is an good question to answer in the presentation
- # [14:21] <Wes-> MrWax: might be an idea in your presentation to mention to stay away from ws:// until the redesign

- # [18:07] <Boohemian> hi, does anyone here work in academia here? (in web dev)
- # [18:14] <_3Vince_> nope - but my office is in a University..
- # [18:14] <MadRat-> I drove by a university once
- # [18:14] <_3Vince_> Did you hit any students?
- # [18:15] <MadRat-> No I don't believe in violence
- # [18:15] <_3Vince_> I didn't mean on purpose ;p
- # [18:15] <_3Vince_> the students round here tend to stagger onto the round (even when sober)
- # [18:16] <MadRat-> They should put up those School Zone traffic signs
- # [18:17] <_3Vince_> they made the road a dead end instead - seems to work
- # [18:17] <MadRat-> I took some video of their nuclear reactor, both with the lights on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqTF1UgvDJQ
- # [18:17] <MadRat-> and the lights off: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hTolYJnx5E
- # [18:18] <_3Vince_> but anyway, if you're looking for a (post-grad) student that does web development, I can probably find you one...
- # [18:19] <_3Vince_> I didn't realise nuclear reactors had so much water
- # [18:19] <_3Vince_> I mean I knew they *used* water....
- # [18:19] <_3Vince_> and that blue glow is erie
- # [18:19] <MadRat-> It's a TARGA reactor
- # [18:19] * _3Vince_ doesn't know a lot about reactors :]
- # [18:19] <MadRat-> It's not made for generating power os it's very different from other reactors
- # [18:19] <MadRat-> it's used for science experiments
- # [18:20] <_3Vince_> ah ok
- # [18:20] <_3Vince_> the blue glow is still erie :]
- # [18:20] <_3Vince_> is it actually blue, or is that more of a camera artifact?
- # [18:20] <MadRat-> Nuclear reactors release neutron radiation and neutron radiation can be blocked by hydrogen. But where to get all that hydrogen? H2O :)
- # [18:20] <MadRat-> No it's actually blue.
- # [18:21] <_3Vince_> cool
- # [18:21] <MadRat-> The speed of light is constant in a vacuum but it slows down in things like glass and water
- # [18:21] * _3Vince_ nods
- # [18:21] <MadRat-> The radiation coming out of the reactor is breaking the speed of light... IN WATER.
- # [18:21] <MadRat-> That causes a shock wave, just like a sonic boom
- # [18:22] <_3Vince_> snazzy
- # [18:22] <MadRat-> But instead of hearing a sound you see light.
- # [18:22] <_3Vince_> I really should take up physics again - I always forget how fascinated by it I am
- # [18:22] <MadRat-> The Russian guy who figured it all out won a Nobel prize for his work
- # [18:23] <_3Vince_> :]
- # [18:23] <_3Vince_> a guy I know was/is building a fusion reactor
- # [18:24] <_3Vince_> saw a few pretty pictures from it
- # [18:24] <MadRat-> I hope for the sake of all of us, it works :)
- # [18:25] <MadRat-> Although in my state, all our electricity comes from water and wind with a pinch of solar
- # [18:25] * Quits: dguttman (~dguttman@rrcs-24-43-25-203.west.biz.rr.com) (Quit: dguttman)
- # [18:26] <_3Vince_> I live in Scotland, most of our electricity is hydro too
- # [18:26] * Parts: tofik_ (~tofik@tofik.hio.no)
- # [18:26] <_3Vince_> the thing that gets me though is what they call 'pump-hydro' (think that's the correct term)
- # [18:26] * Joins: dguttman (~dguttman@rrcs-24-43-25-203.west.biz.rr.com)
- # [18:27] <_3Vince_> basically overnight the pump water up to the top of the hill, then during the day they let it back down and generate electricity with it
- # [18:27] * Joins: Thasmo (~thasmo@d86-32-185-119.cust.tele2.at)
- # [18:27] <_3Vince_> it costs less to pump the water up overnight than the elctricity sells for
- # [18:27] <_3Vince_> so while you haven't really generated anything, you still make a profit
- # [18:27] <MadRat-> I knew a girl who lived in Edinburgh and my wife is a descendant of the Bruce clan.
- # [18:27] <_3Vince_> Every American I've met claims lineage to Scotland ;]
- # [18:28] <MadRat-> I've never understood how that whole pump thing works either.
- # [18:28] <MadRat-> Not me, I'm Irish and British.
- # [18:28] <_3Vince_> it uses surplus electricity
- # [18:28] <_3Vince_> Overnight electricity rates are cheaper
- # [18:28] <_3Vince_> so they make use of that
- # [18:28] <_3Vince_> hell, my heating system makes use of that :]
- # [18:28] <MadRat-> Yeah not many people using power at night.
- # [18:29] <_3Vince_> yeah - and I guess you can only store the charge for so long before it becomes useless
- # [18:29] <MadRat-> I have electric heat as well.
- # [18:29] <_3Vince_> I'd kill for gas ;-]
- # [18:29] <_3Vince_> although that being said
- # [18:29] <_3Vince_> as everything in the flat is isolated, if my boiler goes it's not really a huge issue
- # [18:30] <_3Vince_> or if one heater goes etv
- # [18:30] <MadRat-> It heats our little house and it's cheap and doesn't add to polution
- # [18:30] <_3Vince_> *etc
- # [18:30] <_3Vince_> indeed :]
- # [18:30] <_3Vince_> I'm surprised at how well my house heats by solar power (large south facing windows ftw)
- # [18:30] <_3Vince_> I usually leave the heating off till about mid november
- # [18:31] <MadRat-> Wow, wish I could say that.
- # [18:31] <_3Vince_> It surprises a lot of my friends too..
- # [18:31] <MadRat-> I live in Oregon in the north west part of the United States so we get lots of light rain
- # [18:31] <_3Vince_> I allegedly live in Scotlands sunniest city
- # [18:32] <_3Vince_> it's bloody cold most of the time, but my front room pretty much acts like a greenhouse during the summer
- # [18:32] <MadRat-> Although 2/3rds of Oregon are desert. But no one thinks of Oregon and Washington as desert because no one lives where it's hot and dry.
- # [18:32] <_3Vince_> I did notice a slight drop in temperature when I took the carpet out and replaced it with laminate
- # [18:33] <_3Vince_> the north facing side of the flat gets a bit cooler
- # [18:33] <_3Vince_> but the bathroom, kitchen and spare room are on that side, so it's no real issue
- # [18:33] * Joins: techrush (~techrush@adsl-75-4-220-254.dsl.irvnca.sbcglobal.net)
- # [18:33] <_3Vince_> (the fridge/freezer/cooker does a pretty good job of heating the kitchen)
- # [18:34] <_3Vince_> and I suppose - living in a flat I get any spillover heat from my neighbours
- # [18:34] <MadRat-> Heat rises
- # [18:34] <_3Vince_> indeed - and I'm not on the ground floor
- # [18:34] <_3Vince_> also get heat from either side
- # [18:34] <_3Vince_> to a lesser degree
- # [18:35] <_3Vince_> the heatings actually been on more this year - but that's because for the past few weeks the temperature has been an average of -3 with lows of -15
- # [18:35] <_3Vince_> (degrees C)
- # [18:36] <MadRat-> I've noticed that the UK has been getting cold, snowy weather.
- # [18:36] <_3Vince_> it's about 4c now afaik, so the heating is back down lower
- # [18:36] <MadRat-> Were I live the weather doesn't get like that until after Christmas.
- # [18:36] <_3Vince_> you'd think it was the first time we'd ever had it if the media is to believed...
- # [18:36] <MadRat-> heh :)
- # [18:36] <_3Vince_> it's quite rare here, but not unheard of
- # [18:37] <_3Vince_> especially here actually - I've been here 7 years and this is the longest lasting/heaviest snow I've seen
- # [18:37] <_3Vince_> however, where my parents are, it was exactly like this last Christmas
- # [18:37] <_3Vince_> they didn't get it as bad this year - so go figure
- # [18:38] <_3Vince_> I'm not a disbeliver in global warming, but lets just say I'm more than a little sceptical about the extent
- # [18:39] <_3Vince_> heh I seem to have deviated a little from the question of academic web developers :X
- # [18:40] <MadRat-> They've been having some bad luck with were the UN climate talks have been held. People were getting frostbite at the last one and this time in Mexico they got hit with the coldest temperatures in 100 years.
- # [18:41] <_3Vince_> that's kind of my point... "in 100 years" meaning... "it's been this cold before"
- # [18:41] <_3Vince_> there's a slight lack of conclusive statistics (although a lot of them are quite convincing - don't get me wrong)
- # [18:42] <_3Vince_> and I'm all in favour of conserving our resources and using renewable and clean energy sources - I mean that's just common sense
- # [18:43] <_3Vince_> actually, pump hyrdo got me thinking
- # [18:43] <MadRat-> Don't worry, I drive a car that gets 40MPG, heat my home with electricity that comes from renewable energy, put more in my recycle bin than garbage can and my wife's employer (a hospital) has her working at home over the internet
- # [18:43] <_3Vince_> one could surely dig a well/build a tower
- # [18:44] <_3Vince_> and use cheaper overnight/surplus electricity to rise some kind of weight
- # [18:44] <_3Vince_> storing the energy as kinect energy
- # [18:44] <_3Vince_> it could then be released on demand
- # [18:44] <_3Vince_> actually - that's pretty much how the tower bridge of London worked in the victorian era
- # [18:45] <_3Vince_> I wonder how the numbers would run on such a scheme - I suspect not favourably or it'd have been done by now
- # [18:45] <MadRat-> That's something I don't know about.
- # [18:45] <_3Vince_> I watched a discovery channel show on it :]
- # [18:45] <_3Vince_> then dragged my girlfriend round the Tower's engine room when we visited London
- # [18:46] <MadRat-> I wish I could see it.
- # [18:46] <_3Vince_> basically because the steam engines were pretty ineffecient they had to run all day
- # [18:46] <_3Vince_> but that meant they were producing energy when it wasn't required
- # [18:46] * Joins: cardona507 (~cardona50@cpe-98-150-147-252.hawaii.res.rr.com)
- # [18:46] <_3Vince_> so they stored it in hyrdrolic weights
- # [18:46] <MadRat-> I keep wondering about the culture of my ancestors. Then again, you'd be amazed how hard it is just to get a good shepherd's pie in the US
- # [18:47] <_3Vince_> so when the engine wasn't up to speed or whatever, they could just drop the weights and the bridge would open
- # [18:47] <_3Vince_> hehe - you'd be amazed how hard it is to get a good one in the uk ;]
- # [18:47] <MadRat-> Heh
- # [18:47] <_3Vince_> if you want a good shepards pie, mash your own potatoes and cook your own mince ;-)
- # [18:48] <_3Vince_> I've even taken to making my own chips (fries) of late
- # [18:48] <_3Vince_> got given a deepfat fryer by my girlfriends grandmother
- # [18:48] <_3Vince_> so I sliced up a bunch of potatoes and chucked it in
- # [18:48] <_3Vince_> turns out they tast nicer than store bought oven chips and a lot cheaper too
- # [18:48] <_3Vince_> and we don't eat them that often, so the extra fat in them from deep fat frying them is of little concern
- # [18:49] <MadRat-> I saw a nuclear reactor that used a system like that for emergency hydraulic power. They put giant drums in a room and filled them full of river rocks. If the pumps went down the drums would slowly fall and provide pressure in the hydraulic lines until the reactor could shut down.
- # [18:49] <_3Vince_> yeah - that's pretty much how the tower bridge worked
- # [18:49] <_3Vince_> of course, now the engines are capable of working on demand so it's no longer required

- # [18:50] <_3Vince_> it's not because I'm eco friendly, it's just because I thought it'd be fun to build heh :]
- # [18:50] <MadRat-> It's easy to get fish 'n' chips in the US but other pub grub is almost impossible. No bangers and mash, no plowman's lunch... nothing.
- # [18:51] <_3Vince_> hehe
- # [18:51] <_3Vince_> steak pies?
- # [18:51] <MadRat-> We call them beef pies but those you can get
- # [18:51] <_3Vince_> I'm not sure I could live somewhere where I couldn't get a good steak pie
- # [18:52] <_3Vince_> though strangely enough... my favorite British cuisne is...
- # [18:52] <_3Vince_> ...curry.
- # [18:52] <MadRat-> I've been thinking of taking up braising. I need to add a hinge to my computer case and I think that would be a good, first, braising project.
- # [18:52] <MadRat-> I don't usually associate Britain with curry.
- # [18:53] <_3Vince_> building a bicycle is pretty easy to be honest, it's mostly just getting the right parts and putting it together
- # [18:53] <_3Vince_> yeah, most people don't, but it's one of the top British dishes
- # [18:53] <_3Vince_> and despite it's indian origin, it is most definately British
- # [18:53] <_3Vince_> Legend has it that the Chicken Tikka was invented in Glasgow, Scotland
- # [18:54] <MadRat-> People associate tea with Britain and that's from China. India was part of the Empire not so long ago.
- # [18:54] <_3Vince_> indeed
- # [18:55] <MadRat-> Heh, chow mein and fortune cookies are from the United States :>
- # [18:55] <_3Vince_> British Curry is similar to Indian curry, but over the years been more finely tuned to the British palette
- # [18:55] <_3Vince_> my spelling is especially awful today... shouldn't have had that beer at lunch!
- # [18:56] <_3Vince_> hehe, here we go, from wikipedia...
- # [18:56] <_3Vince_> Curry has become an integral part of British cuisine, so much so that, since the late 1990s, Chicken Tikka Masala has been referred to as "a true British national dish".[21] It is now available on Intercity rail trains, as a flavour for crisps, and even as a pizza topping.
- # [18:57] <MadRat-> I wonder if I can eat curry. There's a flaw in my nervous system and when I eat certain food part of my brain goes haywire and I get a migraine.
- # [18:57] <_3Vince_> eep
- # [18:58] <MadRat-> I can't feel the going haywire part but I sure can feel the migraine that comes after it -_-
- # [18:58] <_3Vince_> capsicum is a hallogcenogenic and is found in most curries...
- # [18:58] <MadRat-> I've never heard that before.
- # [18:59] <_3Vince_> it's the the genus of plants that peppers and chillies came from
- # [18:59] <MadRat-> Heh, maybe it's all the burning that makes you hallucinate :>
- # [18:59] <MadRat-> Yes I know
- # [18:59] <_3Vince_> oh right, with you
- # [19:00] <MadRat-> Interestingly the hottest peppers in the world are grown by the patients in an insane asylum.
- # [19:00] <nimbupani> hey _3Vince_ there is no such thing as "Indian curry"
- # [19:01] <_3Vince_> nimbupani: well, yes, it's regional, isn't it?
- # [19:02] * _3Vince_ appreciates that defining it as Indian is pretty ignorant :]
- # [19:02] <nimbupani> yeah i have never heard any cuisine which uses curry in the terms it is used outside India
- # [19:02] <_3Vince_> but I also live in a country that people routinely mistake for England ;P
- # [19:02] <MadRat-> The Japanese have curry dishes
- # [19:03] <_3Vince_> as do the Chinese... well at least the Anglo-Chinese
- # [19:03] <_3Vince_> most of the fish and chip shops here will give you curry sauce for your chips if you ask for it too
- # [19:04] <_3Vince_> (interestingly, fish and chip shops are typically of Italian descent)
- # [19:04] <MadRat-> they are? o_o
- # [19:05] <_3Vince_> yep
- # [19:05] <_3Vince_> the Italians came over en masse and set up ice cream shops and chip shops
- # [19:05] <MadRat-> Heh, I'm an American. Italian food means either pasta or pizza to me :>
- # [19:05] <_3Vince_> and now it's a typically British food
- # [19:05] <_3Vince_> this is why racism is utterly pointless :p
- # [19:06] <_3Vince_> I don't quite know how they came up with fish and chips
