13:13 -!- cashcraft [n=cashcraf@dragon.cbi.tamucc.edu] has joined #dnr-is
13:28 < PerlJam> cashcraft: We're going to try the IRC meeting rather than meeting in person.  you're in charge of running the lab side  :)
13:29 < PerlJam> Basically, get everyone on IRC and have them  look at http://lighthouse.tamucc.edu/DNRNotes/ITMeetingTemplate
13:31 < cashcraft> Sounds good
13:32 -!- rysan [n=redwards@atlas.cbi.tamucc.edu] has joined #dnr-is
13:33 -!- jrod [n=jrodrigu@pc164.cbi.tamucc.edu] has joined #dnr-is
13:33 < cashcraft> lab side is ready to start when you guys are
13:33 < jrod> Cody is not here
13:33 < cashcraft> Cody isn't here though
13:34 < rysan> we are accounted for
13:35 < PerlJam> Okay, Niall should be headed up there actually and James just took off for food.  We'll wait for them to ack and then go.
13:38 < PerlJam> btw, I was just telling Niall the way I've seen other IRC meetings run.
13:39 < PerlJam> Someone runs the meeting by calling on people, those people give their info, and mention if they have any questions.  At the end of the information period, the person running the meeting calls on those with questions in turn and the question is asked and the answer discussed.
13:40 < PerlJam> So, look at http://lighthouse.tamucc.edu/DNRNotes/ITMeetingTemplate and have the answers ready to paste on channel  :)
13:44  * cashcraft wonders what it would be like if we actually met in second life...
13:44 -!- hamez [n=jdavis@cpe-24-175-186-56.stx.res.rr.com] has joined #dnr-is
13:46 < PerlJam> dbcooper: alive?
13:46 < cashcraft> he is here, setting up his laptop
13:47 < dbcooper> PerlJam: I've jacked in to the matrix.
13:48 < PerlJam> hamez: alive?
13:48 < hamez> si
13:51 < PerlJam> Niall, not to break with tradition .... you lead  :)
13:51 < PerlJam> I'm writing up my notes about how the meeting should work on that wiki page.
13:52 < rysan> i've got my answers ready to copy/paste
13:55 < hamez> wiki page? I must have missed that
13:55 < dbcooper> http://lighthouse.tamucc.edu/DNRNotes/ITMeetingTemplate
13:56 < hamez> thx
13:56 < PerlJam> it just changed too
13:56 < dbcooper> We'll go in alphabetical order, students first, then full timers.  Cody is absent.
13:56 < hamez> alphabetical by first or last name?
13:56 < dbcooper> Last name.
13:56 < dbcooper> Chase, you're up.
13:56 < PerlJam> Or IRC nick?  :)
13:57 < dbcooper> PerlJam: Who's in charge here?
13:57 < PerlJam> I am!
13:57 < cashcraft>    	 	 	 	 	 	    	How many hours can you work this 	week?  	  	 -10 hours 
13:57 < cashcraft>   	What progress have you made on 	whatever you are working on?  	  	ncep-get is once again working  	Fixed the PID file read/write with 	one open 	Removed most of the ftp->cwd() 	and chdir() calls  
13:57 < cashcraft>   	Did you run into anything that's 	stopping you from making progress?  	 	 		- Got everything working, need to 		move on to degribit 	  
13:57 < cashcraft>   	Do you need some face time with one of IT3D? 		  	     -Not sure at this time  
13:57 < rysan> I demand a recount.
13:57 < PerlJam> But you're running the meeting :)
13:57 < dbcooper> PerlJam: Then you lead this meeting.
13:58 < dbcooper> That's 10 hours, not -10.
13:58 < dbcooper> cashcraft: Are you done w/ ncep-get?
13:58 < cashcraft> yes I believe it is fully working now
13:59 < dbcooper> Do you want to schedule a code review/code release party?
13:59 < cashcraft> as long as we can have donuts I'm down
14:00 < cashcraft> but seriously, it's up to you guys, I think you've seen it enough, but if you want to look at it again I don't mind
14:00 < dbcooper> cashcraft: Is it downloading properly?  Is it setup as a cron job?
14:00 < cashcraft> its not, it must be run manually
14:01 < dbcooper> cashcraft: Would you like help setting it up as a cronjob?
14:01 < cashcraft> It would probably help out a lot if I could get some help (I've never done it before)
14:02 < cashcraft> would it be best to set that up now? or work on degribit? and then set it up all at once?
14:02 < dbcooper> cashcraft: Setup a time to meet and in the meantime work on degrib?
14:02 < PerlJam> cashcraft: I think I'd like a little more than belief that it's done.  Come up with some criteria for doneness and prove that your code meets those criteria.  Do that first.
14:02 < dbcooper> s/Setup/Schedule/
14:03 < PerlJam> cashcraft: if you need help, of course, just ask :)
14:03 < hamez> perhaps there should be a test
14:03 < dbcooper> I'll take the physical challenge.
14:03 < cashcraft> I have tested it by trying to run the same process at the same time, trying to re-download files that we already have or only have parts of and creating everything from scratch
14:04 < PerlJam> cashcraft: once you're done proving that your code works as expected, we'll set it up as a cronjob and test that *that* works as expected, and then you can go on to degrib
14:04 < cashcraft> those were my criteria, are you saying i should do more?
14:04 < hamez> cashcraft: perhaps you could automate those tests
14:05 < cashcraft> explain automate?
14:05 < cashcraft> let write test cases?
14:05 < cashcraft> like**
14:05 < hamez> yes, so that in the future, if changes are made, we can be sure it still does everything its supposed to
14:05 < rysan> possibly write a script to run your script. Similar to what scherger does when he grades our programs. Automates the test cases.
14:06 < cashcraft> So it is written, so it shall be done
14:06 < dbcooper> The first part is coming up with a method/methods by which you can verify that your program is operating properly.  Don't worry about automating it right away.
14:06 < cashcraft> no promises on time thought :P
14:07 < cashcraft> though**
14:07 < PerlJam> cashcraft: your criteria are great, but you have no "proof" other than your word.  while I believe you, humans do make mistakes.  I'd rather have something repeatable so that anyone can see that your code does as it should.
14:07 < hamez> I agree
14:08 < cashcraft> yes i understand, I will work on getting that this week
14:08 < dbcooper> We need to move on.  rysan has to leave in < 10 minutes.
14:08 -!- rysan is now known as Teal
14:08 < dbcooper> So, is the decision that cashcraft is working on wasy ways to test ncep-get?
14:08 < PerlJam> dbcooper: aye
14:08 -!- Teal is now known as rysan
14:09 < dbcooper> rysan: You're on.l
14:09 < dbcooper> s/l//
14:09 < PerlJam> cashcraft: and don't hesitate to email or ask for help on IRC or whatever.  We're all in the same boat, so we should all pitch in.
14:10 < rysan> How many hours can you work this week? 
14:10 < rysan> 1.20
14:10 < rysan> What progress have you made on whatever you are working on? 
14:10 < rysan> 1.A fair bit. I've got the graph drawing, I have the times (when) working properly. I've also got the data from the Pseries (that contains the detected spikes) displaying in a list of checkboxes below the graph. This gives the user the option to pick the ones they want to remove. I have yet to actually do anything with the 'removal', and to be honest I'm not sure what I need to do there. That's a Scott topic/question I think. I also spent some time p
14:10 < rysan> Did you run into anything that's stopping you from making progress? 
14:10 < rysan> 1.Basically what I said earlier about the image map thing, and what to do with 'submit'. I am not really sure what 'remove the spikes' means...I presume something about change the mask? But then what else do I need to do? Surely there's something else. 
14:10 < rysan> Do you need some face time with one of IT3D? 
14:10 < rysan> 1.Yes. Scott. 
14:10 < rysan> s/^1\.//
14:11 < PerlJam> rysan: "I also spent some time p"  is what I see as the end of your first line. 
14:11 < PerlJam> rysan: When do you want to meet?
14:11 < rysan> this is where it was cut off:
14:11 < rysan> I also spent some time playing with the image map idea and reading up on them and how to make it work, but haven't made much progress. There are some questions there about how to generate the image and the maps outside of the draw, etc. 
14:12 < rysan> PerlJam: Wednesday? 
14:12 < PerlJam> rysan: also, I'm going to want some unit testing on your code too, so be thinking about how you would do that :-)
14:12 < PerlJam> Wed is good.  what time?
14:13 < rysan> PerlJam: well I would have other-work from 2:30-3:45 and class from 5:30-6:45 so either before 2:30 or after 3:45 and before 5:30. My suggestion is in the latter window....so around 3:45
14:13 < PerlJam> 3:45 to 5:00pm then?
14:14 < rysan> PerlJam: yes, sounds good.
14:15 < rysan> refer: http://proto.cbi.tamucc.edu/~redwards/removespikes/005/processspikes.cgi?0=[750]&2=[840]
14:15 < rysan> though currently i have it 'frozen' on a specific time frame. The proto database doesn't seem to contain all the data...so it isn't exactly generating graphs properly based on 'new' dates/times
14:16 < rysan> corrected link: http://proto.cbi.tamucc.edu/~redwards/removespikes/005/processspikes.cgi
14:18 < dbcooper> rysan: Is there anything else you want to add?
14:18 < rysan> not that I can think of.
14:18 < dbcooper> jrod: Josh, your turn.
14:18 < jrod> How many hours can you work this week?
14:18 < jrod> 	10+ Hours
14:18 < jrod> What progress have you made on whatever you are working on?
14:18 < jrod> 	I did not get to work on Gina's Computer, I only got to come in on Friday and she was not in on Friday.
14:18 < jrod> 	As for the surveyrpt.cgi I started reading some of the pearl book to start working on it...
14:18 < jrod> Did you run into anything that's stopping you from making progress?
14:18 < jrod> 	Above.
14:18 < jrod> Do you need some face time with one of IT3D?
14:18 < jrod> 	Nope
14:20 < dbcooper> jrod: You're talking about Gina being out of the office for #3, right?
14:21 < jrod> #3?
14:21 < dbcooper> 3. Did you run into anything that's stopping you from making progress?
14:21 < jrod> oh yes...she was out of office so could get those task done...i will email her this week to get a schedule to meet with her
14:21 < dbcooper> (I numbered the questions on the template page)
14:22 < jrod> couldnt*
14:22 < dbcooper> jrod: Ok.  So don't have any Perl issues ATM?
14:22 < rysan> peace out!
14:22 -!- rysan [n=redwards@atlas.cbi.tamucc.edu] has left #dnr-is []
14:22 < jrod> nope just reading and learning right now!
14:22 < dbcooper> Ok.
14:22 < cashcraft> reading is fun! and educational!
14:23 < hamez> http://blogs.seattleweekly.com/voracious/readingrainbow.jpg
14:24 < jrod> lol
14:24 < dbcooper> <inappropriate comment deleted>
14:24 < dbcooper> jrod: Anything else?
14:25 < jrod> nope that should be it!
14:25 < dbcooper> hamez: You're next.
14:25 < PerlJam> dbcooper: are you going to remind us what we said we were going to do last week?  :-)
14:25 < dbcooper> PerlJam: Nope.
14:26 < PerlJam> then it's like it never was! 
14:26 < dbcooper> PerlJam: That's why IRC is logged.
14:26 < PerlJam> indeed
14:27 < hamez> What progress have you made on what you were working on last week? Well, Google calendar invites can now make it through the mailfilter. I don't remember what else I was working on (or supposed to be working on).
14:28 < hamez> ptardl got deployed
14:28 < hamez> Niall did a lot more work on that than I though
14:29 < hamez> Did you run into anything that's stopping you from making progress? distractions
14:30 < hamez> Do you need some face time with one of IT3D? yes, hamez in particular
14:31 < hamez> Is there anything else that we should be aware of? hmmm, nope I think I'll stay in the closet
14:31 < cashcraft> interjection: can the students get a cool acronym?
14:31 < hamez> Any new business? students need a cool acronym
14:31 < cashcraft> ^^ much appreciated
14:32 < PerlJam> cashcraft: Adk forgiveness rather than permission.  :)
14:32 < hamez> IT BARE
14:32 < dbcooper> cashcraft: Once decided, all IT students should get a permanent tattoo.
14:32 < PerlJam> s/Adk/Ask/
14:33 < PerlJam> (and I typed "perlmission" but I caught that one before hitting enter :)
14:33 < cashcraft> dbcooper: where does the tattoo have to be located? is it a brand or would it be cool looking?
14:33 < dbcooper> hamez: Anything else?
14:33 < dbcooper> cashcraft: You want a brand instead of a tattoo?  You must have a high pain tolerance.
14:34 < hamez> BARE IT
14:34 < dbcooper> cashcraft.hard_core++
14:34 < dbcooper> BARE = ?
14:34 < cashcraft> forgot your semi-colon :P
14:34 < hamez> Brown Ashcraft Rodriguez Edwards
14:34 < dbcooper> cashcraft: True.  dbcooper.syntax_correctness--;
14:35 < jrod> very nice
14:35 < dbcooper> Ah.
14:35 < dbcooper> Bueno.
14:35 < cashcraft> hamez: sounds good to me
14:35 < dbcooper> hamez: Anything else?
14:36 < hamez> nope, that's all for now
14:37 < dbcooper> dbcooper: You ready?
14:37 < dbcooper> dbcooper: Sure thing.  Let's do this.
14:37 < dbcooper> 2. What progress have you made on what you were working on last week?
14:37 < dbcooper> Setup ptardl.  Footwork on Acrobat Professional for field crew (on order, I think).  UPS shutdown test on servers.  That and the Friday meeting took up the bulk of my week.
14:37 < dbcooper> 3. Did you run into anything that's stopping you from making progress?
14:37 < dbcooper> Time.  Meetings are too long.
14:37 < dbcooper> 4. Do you need some face time with one of IT3D?
14:37 < dbcooper> Nope.
14:37 < dbcooper> 5. Is there anything else that we should be aware of? Any new business? 
14:37 < dbcooper> Monitor order for Gina and Doug.  Setup lighthouse to monitor ptardl's UPS.  Swap sign on nnwl prediction reltimes (future vs. past) and update model files.  Setup salts 1-8 to do 6 minute polling.  Those are the big things on my to-do list.
14:38 < dbcooper> Done.
14:38 < dbcooper> Any questions?
14:38 < PerlJam> Why the change to salt polling?
14:38 < dbcooper> PerlJam: Larry, Sara and I discussed it as a way to possibly improve data coverage for the salt stations.
14:40 < PerlJam> seems the wrong way around, but if it works, it works.
14:41 < dbcooper> PerlJam: Its a band-aid.
14:41 < dbcooper> Any other questions?
14:42 < PerlJam> none from me.
14:42 < dbcooper> Oops.  I jumped a person.  Scott, you're up.
14:43 < PerlJam> I have no idea what I actually did last week, let alone what I said I was going to do  :)
14:43 < PerlJam> The training day was a bust.  Working with Stacey was a bust.
14:43 < PerlJam> I spent a bit of time playing with git, PharosWeb (better name if you've got it), and testing.
14:44 < dbcooper> p-rho?
14:44 < PerlJam> had a good meeting with Niall on Friday about databasey stuff.
14:44 < PerlJam> dbcooper: I said a *better* name :)
14:44 < cashcraft> i like p-rho
14:44 < PerlJam> nothing is stopping my progress other than my own limited brain power and some time.
14:45 < dbcooper> It's urban and hip, like p-diddy or J-lo.
14:45 < PerlJam> I always need face time with IT3D
14:45 < cashcraft> dbcooper: exactly, it brings in the younger audience, has more mass appeal
14:45 < PerlJam> re new business:  I'm going to really push testing more.  It's not a panacea, but it's usefule (sorry Chase, you're the first student victim  :)
14:46 < dbcooper> cashcraft: Yes.  We have to build our brand.
14:46 < cashcraft> perljam: no harm done, but if we ever meet up in second life...
14:47 < dbcooper> cashcraft: All the kids will be vblogging and tweeting about our new hip real-time data collection and dissemination software, p-rho.
14:47 < dbcooper> "Catch the fever!"
14:47 < cashcraft> dbcooper: I'm going to tweet about it right now!
14:48 < dbcooper> "lolz, wrkn' on da prho.  streetz gonna be all 'holy crap!  that's like web 3.0, baby!'.
14:49 < cashcraft> "in ur prho's steelin teh data!"
14:49 < dbcooper> PerlJam: EOL?  EOR?
14:49 < PerlJam> EOR
14:49 < dbcooper> Anything else we need to cover?
14:49 < cashcraft> the student closet move
14:50 < cashcraft> I tried to move in on friday but there were boxes all on the tables and I wasn't sure what to do with them
14:50 < cashcraft> is there still renovations taking place in there or can all that stuff be moved out?
14:50 < PerlJam> Talk with Gina, but I say move it out of your way and move it.
14:51 < dbcooper> On a side note, I think we need to clean up/organize the lab (NRC 3414) before Philippe moves in here.  I had trouble finding what I needed last week.
14:51 < PerlJam> (forgiveness rather than permission again :)
14:51 < PerlJam> s:2nd/it/in/
14:52 < dbcooper> I make a motion that we (IT) schedule a move in date and do it.
14:52 < cashcraft> sounds good, I'll look at doing that later this week
14:52 < cashcraft> how does Friday sound again?
14:52 < dbcooper> cashcraft: Friday afternoon?
14:53 < cashcraft> dbcooper: that's fine with me
14:53 < dbcooper> Friday afternoon works for me.
14:53 < dbcooper> cashcraft: Coordinate w/ the other students and put it in Google calendar.
14:54 < cashcraft> as IRC records command, it shall be done on the 17th of April!
14:54 < cashcraft> I will do what I can and get a time up this week
14:55 < dbcooper> cashcraft: Send an e-mail to dnr-is and remind everyone, por favor.
14:55 < cashcraft> si senor
14:55 < dbcooper> Gracias.
14:55 < dbcooper> Anything else?
14:55 < cashcraft> BARE IT motions to adjurn the meeting
14:56 < cashcraft> adurn (sp?)
14:56 < dbcooper> I second.
14:56 < cashcraft> adjurn**
14:56 < dbcooper> All opposed?
14:56 < PerlJam> adjourn
14:56 < dbcooper> adjourn.
14:56 < jrod> logginggg out.....

13:51  * dbcooper keeps trying to delete the last word w/ Ctrl-W and closing the window instead. :\
13:51 < PerlJam> I'll give you guys a couple of minutes and  then we go in alphabetical order.  Sound good?
13:52 < PerlJam> (basically the order at the bottom of that page that dbcooper linked)
13:54 < PerlJam> okay ...
13:54 < PerlJam> cashcraft?
13:55 < cashcraft> un momento, almost done
13:56 < PerlJam> okay, whenever you're ready.
13:57 < dbcooper> Anyone seen/heard from Cody?
13:57 < rysan> nein.
13:57 < jrod_361> no

13:58 < cashcraft> What Progress have you made on what you were working on last week?
13:58 < cashcraft> Met with Scott and discussed how to write Test cases for my program (ncep-get).
13:58 < cashcraft> Decided to 'modularize' many of the functions so I will be working on creating an NCEP module next
13:58 < cashcraft> Did you run into anything that's stopping you from making progress?
13:58 < cashcraft> Time continues to get in my way and prevent me from working (grr).  Two more weeks until Schools out!!
13:58 < cashcraft> Do you need face time with one of IT3D?
13:58 < cashcraft> Not at this point
13:59 < cashcraft> >>>>>>>>>>>EOF<<<<<<<<<<<<

13:59 < rysan> ==>20
13:59 < rysan> 2. What progress have you made on what you were working on last week?
13:59 < rysan> ==>A fair amount. I met with Scott and we talked about a few things. I still have a few issues but they seem to be coming along nicely.
13:59 < rysan> 3. Did you run into anything that's stopping you from making progress?
13:59 < rysan> ==>I'm still having an issue with the spike detector when there are no spikes, or when the RMS is really small. 
13:59 < rysan> 4. Do you need some face time with one of IT3D?
13:59 < rysan> ==>It is always good to meet with Scott. 
13:59 < rysan> 5. Is there anything else that we should be aware of? Any new business? 
13:59 < rysan> ==>Most of the new or different things going on with the program Scott and I discussed last week. There were some issues with calling the PSeries but we've resolved them.

14:02 < PerlJam> hamez?
14:03 < hamez> 2. What progress have you made on what you were working on last week?

14:04 < PerlJam> dbcooper?
14:05 < dbcooper> 1. N/A
14:05 < dbcooper> 2. I was on vacation both Monday and Tuesday.  I have been "working" on my system demonstration paper for the DIM conference since Wednesday.  I only completed [most of] the outline last week.  I addressed a few user issues last week.
14:05 < dbcooper> 3. Writer's block.
14:05 < dbcooper> 4. I will need collaboration time w/ James and Scott, whether in person or via e-mail.  I've listed them as co-authors on the NNWL paper and want their input/feedback on parts/whole.
14:05 < dbcooper> 5. Not sure about new business.  Right now I have tunnel vision on my DIM paper.  After that is submitted I'll re-assess objectives for this week.
14:05 < dbcooper> EOL
14:05 < PerlJam> PerlJam?
14:05 < PerlJam> huh?  what? oh ...yeah ... um ....
14:06 < PerlJam> 2. I don't think I made much progress on anythign in particular. Helped Ryan and Chase with stuff
14:06 < PerlJam> 3. I'm my own worst enemy.
14:06 < PerlJam> 4. face time with it3d is always useful
14:07 < PerlJam> 5. new business ....
14:08 < PerlJam> We *may* be working on a project with Dr James Needham.   It's a small thing of transforming one set of documents in excel or access format into a report
14:08 < PerlJam> Josh,  I sure hope you're working with us for the summer, because your mission will be to get the arcgis server up and running so that Deidre can use it.
14:09 < jrod_361> Yes jsut bout to say that
14:09 < jrod_361> i though it was up and runnin already
14:09 < PerlJam> it may be running, but it may not be such that Deidre can use it  :)
14:09 < HerrDoktor> I would like to know my summer situation as well, btw. Though PerlJam and I did discuss it some on Friday.
14:10 < cashcraft> Josh is the ArcGIS pro
14:10 < jrod_361> Is this going to be on the cartman machine or new ARCServer
14:10 < jrod_361> ya right
14:10 < PerlJam> jrod_361: the new one.
14:10 < jrod_361> ok well then nothing is set up on that one still
14:10 < PerlJam> HerrDoktor: you're our slave for as long as you're around  :)
14:11 < HerrDoktor> PerlJam the chains of bondage carry me far
14:11 < jrod_361> as for the access format into a report, I did alot of access at a summer internship my freshman year in austin, I might be able to help with that if your guys would like
14:11 < PerlJam> Unless you guys say otherwise, you'll have a job here (for all students, someone tell cody)
14:12 < HerrDoktor> PerlJam: I may take a week or two off in May
14:12 < cashcraft> I will be here over the summer (I think I told you already, but just re-stating)
14:12 < PerlJam> HerrDoktor: when in may?
14:12 < HerrDoktor> PerlJam: Towards the end. I'll be here all June and July though
14:12 < PerlJam> HerrDoktor: will you be here May 18/19 ?
14:13 < HerrDoktor> PerlJam: What is May 18/19? I should be in town but may be moving to a new house at that time
14:13 < PerlJam> er, s!18/19!15/16!
14:13 < PerlJam> sorry I meant the 15th and 16th
14:13 < HerrDoktor> PerlJam: in that case, yes. I will be here for sure...I probably won't be 'out of town' until the 24th, and I'll be back by the 1st for sure (since that's when classes start)
14:14 < HerrDoktor> PerlJam: Though, what is the 15/16th>?
14:14 < PerlJam> HerrDoktor: http://cs.tamucc.edu/dim
14:14 < PerlJam> HerrDoktor: I recently realized that I won't be available on those days as that's when my wife will be out of town (and someone needs to take care of the kids :-)
14:15 < HerrDoktor> PerlJam: Am I to presume that I'll be attending this then?
14:15 < PerlJam> So ... *someone* needs to give the talk on how this spike detector thing works
14:15 < HerrDoktor> PerlJam: and am I further to assume that I'll be 'presenting' your paper?
14:15 < PerlJam> HerrDoktor: you're the natural candidate  :)
14:16 < HerrDoktor> PerlJam: You have nice kids. I'm sure they won't mind sitting with me in the audience while you talk.
14:16 < PerlJam> HerrDoktor: it's a "system demonstration"  So ... 1) the  thing you're working on needs to actually work by then and 2) you're just going to demo it 
14:16 < HerrDoktor> PerlJam: that's fine. Can I make chase and james and niall come for moral support?
14:17 < cashcraft> I can sit in the audience and clap when it's over.. I'm good at that
14:17 < PerlJam> Sure... According to the last agenda I saw it's just for 15 minutes or so on Friday at 1pm
14:17 < jrod_361> lol
14:17 < PerlJam> cashcraft: don't forget to heckle in the middle too  ;)
14:17 < dbcooper> cashcraft: Start a slow clap.  I'll back you up.
14:18 < jrod_361> nice
14:18 < cashcraft> dbcooper: those are the only kind I do :P
14:18  * dbcooper high5's Chase.
14:18 < PerlJam> just make sure you guys do it staggered and irregular like  
14:18 < HerrDoktor> dbcooper: someone has to cheer as well
14:19 < HerrDoktor> is it possible for Josh to run in, 5 minutes into my presentation, with an air horn?
14:19 < PerlJam> HerrDoktor: you'll have get your own laugh track for that  ;)
14:19 < jrod_361> no i like to streak
14:19 < HerrDoktor> he could be half-naked and flailing madly to make it seem more random and un-related to my presentation
14:19 < HerrDoktor> jrod_361 lol apparently we had the same thought then
14:19 < jrod_361> lol yup
14:19 < dbcooper> I like where this is going.
14:19 < PerlJam> If that happens, I expect someone to take video
14:19 < HerrDoktor> its settled then. I cannot wait
14:19 < cashcraft> Sounds like a good company event, sign us up
14:20 < HerrDoktor> I vote hamez for the video camera action
14:20 < PerlJam> anyway ... I think we're done here unless anyone has any questions or comments.
14:21 < jrod_361> nope
14:21 < HerrDoktor> nope
14:21 < cashcraft> I'm good, motion for meeting to end
14:21 < HerrDoktor> auf wiedersehen!
14:21 < PerlJam> okay, that's it then.  See you next week, same bat-time, same bat-channel
14:21 < HerrDoktor> do do do
14:22 < jrod_361> yup yup
14:22 < cashcraft> sounds good, see ya there!
