15:57 < dbcooper> Or date(s)
15:57 < rysan> After may 14th.
15:58 < rysan> in fact, everything you want to do that involves me or chase would be best scheduled for after may 14th.
15:58 < rysan> that probably goes for cody and josh too, but I dunno.
15:58 < dbcooper> Since the DIM conference is 5/15-5/16, then definitely not that Friday either.
15:58 < dbcooper> Tuesday 5/19?
15:58 < rysan> dbcooper: I'll wear my doo-rag and tennis shoes.
15:59 < dbcooper> Ok. Don't forget your boom box.

14:10 < PerlJam> rysan: But I can meet with you at any time today, tomorrow or Wed.
14:10 < PerlJam> rysan: Sat at 1:00 I think
14:10 < rysan> oh its Saturday..ok
14:11 < rysan> I probably won't be in at all today tomorrow or Wed...I've got this parser and simulation report to finish and then I have 2 finals tomorrow and 1 on wednesday

14:11 < PerlJam> rysan: nope. I'll work on it and we can keep in touch via email/IRC
14:11 < rysan> ok
14:12 < PerlJam> rysan: It should just be a 15 minute presentation, so there shouldn't be much to prepare for.
14:12 < rysan> ok, that's encouraging them
14:12 < rysan> then*
14:13 < PerlJam> Give a little background about CBI and collecting water level data and how important it all is, then show the spike removal tool.

14:13 < PerlJam> cashcraft: if you see josh, I need to talk to him about working this summer.
14:14 < cashcraft> i'm supposed to meet with him later tonight for our project so i'll tell him to email you
14:14 < PerlJam> have him send me an email when he gets a chance (I have no idea what anyone's finals schedule is like and I don't want to muck with that, so no big deal if it's not until after then)
14:15 < PerlJam> dbcooper: ping!
14:15 < rysan> PerlJam: are there any stipulations or developments for working this summer for any of us?
14:15 < rysan> (any of us present)
14:16 < dbcooper> 1. How many hours can you work this week?
14:16 < dbcooper> A: N/A
14:16 < dbcooper> 2. What progress have you made on what you were working on last week?
14:16 < dbcooper> A: I have been "working" on my system demonstration paper for the DIM conference. I made some progress on it, but I'm not done yet. Also worked on Nimble2 (Nimbler!) and lfredl data logger setup and troubleshoting . Also flattened and installed Ubuntu on my laptop since it was acting strangely.
14:16 < dbcooper> 3. Did you run into anything that's stopping you from making progress?
14:16 < dbcooper> A: Writer's block.
14:16 < dbcooper> 4. Do you need some face time with one of IT3D? (or if you are IT3D, do you need any face time with a student?)
14:16 < dbcooper> 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. I also discussed having a code review w/ Cody last week.
14:16 < dbcooper> 5. Is there anything else that we should be aware of? Any new business?
14:16 < dbcooper> A: I will be attending/presenting at the DIM conference on Friday, so that day is toast. I'm on call this week and we're shorthanded so I assume I'll be occasionally pulled of task w/ troubleshooting/field support. Must... Finish... Paper...
14:16 < dbcooper> EOL
14:16 < PerlJam> no, not really. As far as I'm concerned, students are working with us until they come to me and say they don't want to anymore for whatever reason.
14:16 < dbcooper> w/ apologies for the delay.
14:17 < PerlJam> rysan, cbrown5, cashcraft: Good luck on your projects, finals, etc.
14:18 < rysan> thank you
14:18 < cbrown5> thanks
14:18 < cashcraft> thank you, I'll need it :P

14:18 < cbrown5> 2nd
14:18 < PerlJam> and if you have any questions about stuff that maybe we can answer, feel free to ask us (but don't ask too much or too hard :-)
14:19 < PerlJam> (for school)

13:59 < redwards> 2. ==> Well I gave the presentation Saturday. Seemed to go OK.
13:59 < redwards> 3. ==> I am my own worst enemy! That, and school+finals hindered me
13:59 < redwards> some. Also lack of sleep. I'm good now though.
13:59 < redwards> 4. ==> Yes, Scott.
13:59 < redwards> 5. ==> Yep, I'd like to talk about working this summer, especially
13:59 < redwards> in July since I can work much more than 20 hours a week, what do I
13:59 < redwards> need to do, is it even possible for me to work more, etc. For the
13:59 < redwards> next couple of weeks I'm going to try and make us some hours I
13:59 < redwards> missed the finals weeks, but after that I'd like to get going on
13:59 < redwards> working a little more if possible and if its in the budget.
13:59 < redwards> *******************************END**********************************/\
14:00 <@hamez> I believe it is possible as long as there is money for it, we'll check in to it

14:00 <@hamez> yep, just checking

14:02 <@hamez> thanks hamez
14:02 <@hamez> dbcooper?
14:02 < dbcooper> 1. How many hours can you work this week?
14:02 < dbcooper> A: N/A
14:02 < dbcooper> 2. What progress have you made on what you were working on last week?
14:02 < dbcooper> A: DIM conference completed. James, Philippe, Ryan gave good presentations at the conference. Had some interest in DNR
14:02 < dbcooper> stuff, good times. Final edits on paper, verifying, blah, blah, blah.
14:02 < dbcooper> 3. Did you run into anything that's stopping you from making progress?
14:02 < dbcooper> A: Poor impulse control. The Loveline archive/stream <http://loveline.phil21.net/>. Earlier (random stream) they had "Macho Man" Randy Savage (the "Snap into a Slim Jim!" guy) on. He was promoting his new album. It was... Quite interesting.
14:02 < dbcooper> 4. Do you need some face time with one of IT3D? (or if you are IT3D, do you need any face time with a student?)
14:02 < dbcooper> A: I discussed having a code review w/ Cody last week.
14:02 < dbcooper> 5. Is there anything else that we should be aware of? Any new business?
14:02 < dbcooper> A: Cleaning day/lunch party tomorrow (Tue. 5/19)! We will be cleaning the lab NRC 3414 so that it is ready for Philippe and
14:02 < dbcooper> his students to use. Talked to folks from Florida State University at DIM on Saturday. They have a very mature/thorough
14:02 < dbcooper> QC process. I believe we should have a thorough understanding of their process before we run off and try to
14:02 < dbcooper> improve/implement our own.
14:02 < dbcooper> EOL
14:04 <@hamez> PerlJam?

14:10 < cbrown5> well you could just go wired then
14:10 < cbrown5> if you hate it that much
14:10 < redwards> yeah don't have a good wired mouse laying around though, just those cheap dell ones
14:11 < dbcooper> redwards: Didn't Gina e-mail you about working over 20 hours/week?
14:11 <@hamez> redwards: I responded to it
14:11 < dbcooper> Err, n/m. That was Cody.
14:12 < redwards> lol, I was like...I didn't see anything
14:12 < cashcraft> yeah... Ryan, we're gonna need you to go ahead and come in on Saturday... yeah...
14:12 < redwards> @hamez i see that now, thanks
14:12 < redwards> but, but, my stapler...
14:13 < dbcooper> redwards: Will you be taking classes this summer?
14:13 < redwards> @dbcooper june 1st - july 2nd i think
14:13 < redwards> just 1 class
14:13 < dbcooper> So you won't be in class during (most of) July?
14:13 < redwards> right
14:18 < cbrown5> O so everyone knows windows 7 is free right now if anyone wants to give it a try
14:18 < cbrown5> looks good ha
14:18 < dbcooper> I don't have a computer it will run on.
14:18 < redwards> it'll run on most computers Vista wouldn't
14:18 < redwards> btw.
14:19 < cbrown5> supposed to be significantly faster too
14:21 < dbcooper> Yeah, I still think I'd need a new computer.
14:24 < dbcooper> Anyway, anything else to cover this meeting? Ryan has a question about 40 hours/week, schedule code review w/ Cody, cleaning party tomorrow. Anything else?
14:25 < redwards> dbcooper: Scott at one time mentioned it'd probably be 30 hours a week, but i'll take anything over 20
14:25 < redwards> (including 40)
14:25 < dbcooper> I can't speak to that other than we'll need to consult w/ Gina if Scott hasn't already.
14:26 < cashcraft> lab cleaning party starts at 10 tomorrow still?
14:27 < dbcooper> AFAIK
14:28 < cashcraft> sounds good
14:28 < dbcooper> Is there any other business to bring before the group? Anyonoe?
14:28 < dbcooper> *Anyone
14:30 < redwards> not here
14:30 < cbrown5> I'm free whenever for code review
14:33 < redwards> restarting my comp for updates
Tuesday, 26 May 2009:
13:37 -!- jrod_361 [n=josh@24-116-105-160.cpe.cableone.net] has joined #dnr-is
13:38 <@dbcooper> Anyone seen Cody?
13:38 <@dbcooper> cashcraft: Is Cody up there?
13:38 < cashcraft> dbcooper: not that I've seen, he's not at his desk
13:39 -!- dbcooper changed the topic of #dnr-is to: When does the 1:30PM meeting start?
13:40 < redwards1> soon? lol
13:42 <@dbcooper> http://lighthouse.tamucc.edu/DNRNotes/ITMeetingTemplate
13:42 <@dbcooper> Hear ye, hear ye. All hands at attention, or something.
13:42 <@PerlJam> well, if we're all here, let's go!
13:42 <@PerlJam> (thanks Niall)
13:42 <@dbcooper> cashcraft: You're up.
13:44 <@dbcooper> Chase?
13:45 <@dbcooper> Okay, we'll skip Chase for the moment.
13:45 < cashcraft> 1. How many hours can you work this week? (this one is really only for the students)
13:45 < cashcraft> 20 hrs.
13:45 < cashcraft> 2. What progress have you made on what you were working on last week?
13:45 < cashcraft> Successfully cleaned up the lab and installed white boards in the new student office. Began setting up external tape drive to work on my machine (in progress).
13:45 < cashcraft> 3. Did you run into anything that's stopping you from making progress?
13:45 < cashcraft> No barriers at this point.
13:45 < cashcraft> 4. Do you need some face time with one of IT3D? (or if you are IT3D, do you need any face time with a student?)
13:45 < cashcraft> Need to meet with someone to discuss the tape drive task in a little more detail. Anytime this week is good for me except Friday afternoon.
13:45 < cashcraft> 5. Is there anything else that we should be aware of? Any new business?
13:45 < cashcraft> Summer classes start next week but my hours should remain about the same.
13:45 < cashcraft> -----EOR-----
13:45 <@dbcooper> Spoke too soon. Thanks, Chase.
13:46 <@dbcooper> Cody is not around, so we skip forward to Ryan who is on vacation. Thanks for attending, Ryan. Anything to contribute?
13:46 < redwards1> 1. 5~? I'm in Plainview.
13:46 < redwards1> 2. Well, we got new whiteboards installed in the coder's den. We also got the electronics lab cleaned up quite nicely. Oh, and we helped Sara move some stuff. I also started playing with bad values for the spike detection stuff.
13:46 < redwards1> 3. Everything that we did that was not spike stuff.
13:46 < redwards1> 4. Yeah. Really need to get going on a master's project.
13:46 < redwards1> 5. Not really. I'll be back in town next week. Also classes start the 1st.
13:46 < redwards1> --------------_END_--------------
13:47 <@dbcooper> Josh?
13:47 < jrod_361> ----How many hours can you work this week?
13:47 < jrod_361> 40
13:47 < jrod_361> -----What progress have you made on what you were working on last week?
13:47 < jrod_361> Cleaned Lab, Set-up Ginas Monitors,
13:47 < jrod_361> -----Did you run into anything that's stopping you from making progress?
13:47 < jrod_361> Verification from Doug on address, but got it! will send off tomorrow
13:47 < jrod_361> ----Do you need some face time with one of IT3D? (or if you are IT3D, do you need any face time with a student?)
13:47 < jrod_361> Nope
13:47 < jrod_361> ----- Is there anything else that we should be aware of? Any new business?
13:47 < jrod_361> Nope
13:47 < jrod_361> OOPs forgot to email Naill about ordering 2003 server for ArcServer
13:48 <@dbcooper> jrod_361: Assuming you're finished. I started on that today. I e-mailed Christina Gonzalez about it. We can proceed once she gets back to me.
13:49 < jrod_361> okie dokie, Thanks!
13:49 <@dbcooper> hamez: Your turn.
13:49 <@hamez> data
13:49 <@hamez> 2. Continued to develop Nimble
13:49 <@hamez> 3. Lots of interruptions from being on call
13:49 <@hamez> 4. Would like to show students how to use git and introduce them to Cataylst
13:49 <@hamez> 5. I am planning on going to a conference in Mexico at the end of June. I'll be gone a little over a week. I am planning on presenting and will need some time this week to write an abstract.
13:49 <@hamez> Also, my dog got out last night and I haven't been able to find her. If she doesn't turn up soon, I'll need to go to the pound to see if she got picked up. Apparently they won't tell you over the phone. This is why I'm not in the office right now.
13:49 <@hamez> .
13:49 <@dbcooper> hamez: Sorry to hear about that. She was out when I arrived on Sunday, but I put her back in the yard.
13:50 <@hamez> yeah, I unhooked the electric fence when I put up the new gate. looks like she figured that out
13:50 <@PerlJam> hamez: maybe your neighbor got tired of her barking and let her out on purpose ;>
13:51 <@dbcooper> 1. How many hours can you work this week?
13:51 <@dbcooper> A: N/A
13:51 <@dbcooper> 2. What progress have you made on what you were working on last week?
13:51 <@dbcooper> A: Cleaned up NRC 3414 lab w/ students. Code review w/ Cody and James. DHCP weirdness investigation (issue not resolved). Cyber Defense student meeting. Nimble meeting w/ Scott and James.
13:51 <@dbcooper> 3. Did you run into anything that's stopping you from making progress?
13:51 <@dbcooper> A: Nothing unusual.
13:51 <@dbcooper> 4. Do you need some face time with one of IT3D? (or if you are IT3D, do you need any face time with a student?)
13:51 <@dbcooper> A: I assume I'll be busy showing Chris (Cyber Defense team) around DNR/CBI tomorrow (5/27) morning.
13:51 <@dbcooper> 5. Is there anything else that we should be aware of? Any new business?
13:51 <@dbcooper> A: Blucher improvement meeting on Thursday AM, Chris on Wednesday AM. Both will impact my productivity.
13:51 <@dbcooper> EOL
13:51 < redwards1> @hamez I'm also sorry to hear that..I hope you find her
13:51 <@dbcooper> PerlJam: Your turn.
13:52 <@PerlJam> 2. meeting with Niall/James, hacking on the new and improved Nimble and research on Catalyst, Markdown, jquery, etc.
13:52 <@PerlJam> 3. no.
13:52 <@PerlJam> 4. Ryan and I probably need some face time, but that can wait until he's actually here :)
13:53 <@PerlJam> 5. what Niall said.
13:53 <@PerlJam> oh, and I have training for most of Friday
13:53 <@dbcooper> hamez: We moved the IT planning meeting to Thursday afternoon b/c of Scott's training day.
13:53 < redwards1> @PerlJam: from what they are telling me on the phone I may be there a lot more during june than expected :(
13:54 <@PerlJam> redwards1: what do you mean?
13:54 < redwards1> PerlJam: may not be able to take my summer school class
13:56 <@PerlJam> por que no?
13:57 <@dbcooper> Ok. Chase had a question about the tape drive, but I don't see any other questions. Did I miss any?
13:58 < jrod_361> Im good!
13:58 < redwards1> PerlJam: they can't remove my hold till my GRE scores are in
13:58 < redwards1> and they don't estimate that's till June 4th
13:59 < redwards1> which is stupid, since they can't refuse you based on your GRE scores
13:59 < redwards1> its just formality
13:59 <@PerlJam> jrod_361: btw, your primary mission is to get the arc server box in shape so that Deidre and Daniel Longmatey can use it. Anything you need from us to make that happen, make sure you let us know sooner rather than later.
14:00 < jrod_361> PerlJam: I already requested 2003 from Naill...just waiting on that to get on it!
14:00 <@PerlJam> redwards1: take to Fernandez and/or dean Pezold about it and see if one of them won't remove the hold for you :)
14:00 <@PerlJam> jrod_361: sure thing.
14:02 <@PerlJam> s/take/talk/ even
14:02 * PerlJam should read what he writes sometiems.
14:02 <@PerlJam> s/em/me/
14:02 < cashcraft> IT3D: who would be the best person to meet with about this tape back up task (the overall goal of it), and when would be a good time for that person to meet with me?
14:02 <@dbcooper> cashcraft: There's not much open time in my schedule this week and the student work schedule isn't appearing for this week (no entries).
14:03 < redwards1> dbcooper: most likely cause we only did till may 5th
14:03 < cashcraft> dbcooper: if you would like to wait until a later date that is fine with me, I can find something else to work on in the mean time
14:03 <@dbcooper> redwards1: That makes sense.
14:03 <@dbcooper> cashcraft: How late are you working till today?
14:04 < cashcraft> dbcooper: probably until 4 or 5
14:04 < cashcraft> dbcooper: if you would like for me to stay later I can
14:05 <@dbcooper> Also, Chris (I think) from the Cyber Defense group is going to be working with us (~4 hours a week?) starting tomorrow.
14:06 <@dbcooper> cashcraft: Stay tuned for administrative download.
14:06 <@PerlJam> cashcraft: I don't think we've finished up with ncep-get, have we?
14:06 <@PerlJam> cashcraft: it would be best to finish that off and "put it to bed" so to speak. I think.
14:07 < cashcraft> that is also fine, I was looking at the ncep-degribit script earlier last week
14:08 < cashcraft> which is the next step in the ncep scripts
14:08 <@PerlJam> cashcraft: wrt, tape backup task ... are you guys talking about recovering the data from the old backup tapes so that we can chunk them? If so, that's not a high priority at all, but it's something that could be done if there's nothing else to do (and it lets us get rid of all those old tapes, hooray!)
14:08 <@dbcooper> *degribbit
14:08 < redwards1> ribbit?
14:09 <@dbcooper> PerlJam: Virtualized server is a higher priority than tape backup archive stuff, yes?
14:09 <@PerlJam> dbcooper: oh yes! good idea there.
14:09 <@dbcooper> redwards1: Yes. That's what I'm aiming at.
14:09 < redwards1> dbcooper: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fms0Mk3ZFU8
14:10 < cashcraft> In that case I will set the tape drive stuff aside for a rainy day
14:10 <@dbcooper> Also, Philippe has been talking about a Mexican (as in University of Mexico or some school in Mexico City) PhD student coming to CBI/DNR/Philippe-land and requiring a "computer" to run Linux. Although I've asked questions, we haven't resolved whether the student is looking for a desktop or server.
14:12 <@dbcooper> He needs it to develop and/or run his wind models. An instance on the virtualized server may be useful if he's looking for a server to run his model. We give him a sandbox and he goes to town w/o us having to give him access to proto/lighthouse/etc.
14:12 <@PerlJam> dbcooper: do we know when the student will be here?
14:12 <@dbcooper> PerlJam: If Philippe told me I have already forgotten.
14:13 <@hamez> June 1st
14:13 <@dbcooper> I'm not too concerned about it ATM. I've told him I don't have enough information to make the desktop/server call. He's going to find out more and get back to me (AFAIK).
14:14 <@PerlJam> though, in the interests of being proactive, it would be nice to have the virtserver ready to go :)
14:14 <@dbcooper> PerlJam: We already have two servers we could host on it (harte and sextant).
14:14 <@hamez> it looks like the emails may have not gotten to ya'll bc they were sent to duff@tamucc.edu and ndurham@tamucc.edu
14:14 <@hamez> I will forward to dnr-is
14:16 <@dbcooper> Any business remaining to be discussed?
14:18 <@PerlJam> redwards1: getting Mr. Probst's models to work in a parallel environment might make a good master's project.
14:18 < redwards1> PerlJam: Probst?
14:18 <@PerlJam> redwards1: the guy from Mexico
14:18 <@PerlJam> (sorry)
14:18 < redwards1> oh
14:19 <@PerlJam> er, oops
14:19 < redwards1> that's worth looking into
14:19 <@PerlJam> wrong name even
14:19 <@PerlJam> The guy's name is Roberto Chavez
14:19 * PerlJam can't think one thing and type another apparently.
14:20 < redwards1> fair enough
14:21 < redwards1> motion to adjourn on the grounds that my mom's here to take me to overnight my application for my new apartment
14:21 <@PerlJam> anyway, they're going to be setting up an atmospheric model. If the model is amenable to decomposition into several independent components, it would be ripe for parallelization.
14:21 <@dbcooper> Ok. I move to close the meeting.
14:21 <@PerlJam> yeah, close it.
14:21 * dbcooper bangs the gavel.
14:21 <@dbcooper> Case closed!
14:22 <@dbcooper> Thanks, guys. HAND.
14:22 < redwards1> PerlJam: how is it implemented
14:22 < redwards1> dbcooper: you too
14:22 <@PerlJam> redwards1: we'd (you'd) need to look into that :)
14:22 < redwards1> lol, alrighty
14:23 < redwards1> well, I"m off. I'll be in an out on irc the rest of the week
14:23 < redwards1> may try to work some remotely
