13:31 < PerlJam> okay, close enough.
13:31 < PerlJam> Chase: go!
13:32 < PerlJam> cashcraft: just in case you've got something that pings based on nick.
13:33 < cashcraft> How many hours can you work this week? (this one is really only for the students)
13:33 < cashcraft> ---30 hours
13:33 < cashcraft> What progress have you made on what you were working on last week?
13:33 < cashcraft> ---Finished with ncep-pntFileGen and helped Kat setup the Google Calender in Outlook
13:33 < cashcraft> Did you run into anything that's stopping you from making progress?
13:33 < cashcraft> ---Negative
13:33 < cashcraft> Do you need some face time with one of IT3D? (or if you are IT3D, do you need any face time with a student?)
13:33 < cashcraft> ---Not at this point
13:33 < cashcraft> What do you plan to work on this week?
13:33 < cashcraft> ---Hopefully begin working on the degribbit program
13:33 < cashcraft> Is there anything else that we should be aware of? Any new business?
13:33 < cashcraft> ---Not that I am aware of
13:33 < cashcraft> ------End------
13:33 < PerlJam> rysan: go
13:33 < rysan> 1. 30-40
13:33 < rysan> 2. Some good stuff. Lots of fixes to pwlspike.pm. Now the spikes.t file runs all 8 tests
13:33 < rysan> correctly. Also found some interesting facts and boundaries with James on how high/low the
13:33 < rysan> ranges can be and some other things about the FIR method being used.
13:33 < rysan> 3. Well, in order to better facilitate testing I'm adding graphing functionality to my
13:33 < rysan> test script. Proto is being stubborn and giving me grief with installing some modules
13:33 < rysan> that would prove useful in this. I'm working around it currently.
13:33 < rysan> 4. Scott has already said we need to meet.
13:33 < rysan> 5. More of the same, I'm gonna get graphs working. Then I plan to add another 5-10 tests
13:33 < rysan> to the test script. Some cases James and I realized exist that need to be looked into.
13:33 < rysan> 6. I formatted a thumbdrive (one of those CBI ones) for Gina this morning. It was given to her
13:34 < rysan> by someone downstairs so that she could install some files on it for a meeting. However she was
13:34 < rysan> also told that the drive had a virus on it. She gave it to me to format so that the virus would
13:34 < rysan> be removed and not spread onto her machine. My concern here is not with the drive that I formatted
13:34 < rysan> (as I'm sure its clean now), my concern is instead with the origins of the drive. Apparently it was
13:34 < rysan> given to her by Gary, who got it from Stacy.Why did it have a virus on it? If they new it had a
13:34 < rysan> virus, why did they give it to her and not to us? Where dit he virus come from....etc.
13:34 -!- jrod [n=jrodrigu@pc248.cbi.tamucc.edu] has joined #dnr-is
13:34 < rysan> This might be something we should look into as it brings into concern the well-being of our
13:34 < rysan> windows machine base. Also I installed Kat's new keyboard and mouse combo this morning.
13:34 < PerlJam> rysan: fin?
13:34 < rysan> =============fin============
13:35 < PerlJam> jrod: you're up
13:35 < rysan> perljam: sorry, forgot that part
13:37 < PerlJam> jrod: we'll come back to you.
13:37 < PerlJam> dbcooper: go
13:38 * dbcooper is composing.
13:38 < PerlJam> As long as you're not decomposing.
13:38 * jrod is ready
13:38 < PerlJam> jrod: go
13:38 < jrod> How many hours can you work this week?
13:38 < jrod> 25-30
13:38 < jrod> What progress have you made on what you were working on last week?
13:38 < jrod> Installing the Server as we speak!
13:38 < jrod> Did you run into anything that's stopping you from making progress? Do you need some face time with one of IT3D?
13:38 < jrod> Where are we going to obtain the ArcGIS Install from? Does Diedre have her own copy or are we using Dr. Lyles?
13:38 < jrod> What do you plan to work on this week? Is there anything else that we should be aware of? Any new business?
13:38 < jrod> ArcGIS Should be completed on Wednesday (considering the ArcGIS install cds are obtained before that)
13:40 < dbcooper> jrod: EOL?
13:40 < jrod> yes
13:40 * dbcooper is ready.
13:41 < dbcooper> 1. How many hours can you work this week?
13:41 < dbcooper> A: N/A
13:41 < dbcooper> 2. What progress have you made on what you were working on last week?
13:41 < dbcooper> A: Progress on code infrastructure for Xpert d/l script (Moose, Test::More), syncrhonization discussions, meetings.
13:41 < dbcooper> 3. Did you run into anything that's stopping you from making progress?
13:41 < dbcooper> A: Would be nice to have a bidirectional named pipe or something I could use to test Remote.pm/RemoteConnection.pm. A regular named pipe is not it.
13:41 < 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?)
13:41 < dbcooper> A: JD and Scott, probably. May want/need some time w/ Chase. Will spend time w/ Chris this week as well.
13:41 < dbcooper> 5. What do you plan to work on this week?
13:41 < dbcooper> A: Florida data for Philippe and Doug. TCOON meeting?
13:41 < dbcooper> 6. Is there anything else that we should be aware of? Any new business?
13:41 < dbcooper> A: Chris will be here tomorrow morning (9AM-1PM). I think we should have another lightning talk session soon. TCOON meeting this week!
13:41 < dbcooper> EOL
13:42 < PerlJam> PerlJam: go!
13:42 < PerlJam> 2. Some intangible amount
13:42 < PerlJam> 3. nope
13:42 < PerlJam> 4. I always need to meet with someone. Ryan and I need to meet regarding the spike detector. Josh and I need to meet so that I can get an update on the server.
13:42 < PerlJam> 5. lighthouse-class machine setup, TCOON meeting, building meetings, proposal meetings. meetings meetings meetings.
13:42 < PerlJam> 6. TCOON meeting on Wednesday. Tuesday afternoon and all day Wednesday will likely be taken. Niall and I need to meet with Philippe and Doug before the end of the week.
13:43 -!- jrod [n=jrodrigu@pc248.cbi.tamucc.edu] has left #dnr-is []
13:43 < PerlJam> END IF LINE.
13:43 < PerlJam> Anyone got anything we need to discuss?
13:44 -!- jrod [n=jrodrigu@pc248.cbi.tamucc.edu] has joined #dnr-is
13:44 < PerlJam> s/IF/OF/ even :)
13:44 < dbcooper> PerlJam: hamez
13:44 < PerlJam> no estan.
13:44 < PerlJam> Or did you mean that we need to discuss his absence? :)
13:44 -!- hamez [n=jdavis@triton.cbi.tamucc.edu] has joined #dnr-is
13:45 < PerlJam> hamez: greetings! You're up.
13:45 < hamez> yeah, it looked like I was on
13:45 < hamez> but I guess I wasn't
13:45 < hamez> netsplit or something?
13:45 < PerlJam> could be
13:46 < hamez> come back to me :)
13:46 < cashcraft> see what happens when we start on time, throws everyone off :P
13:47 * rysan wonders where the celebratory cake is because we did start on time
13:47 < dbcooper> cashcraft: Only until starting on time becomes the norm.
13:48 < PerlJam> like it will be next week and the week after. And the week after. And the week after ....
13:48 < hamez> 2. last week?
13:48 < hamez> 3. progress?
13:48 < hamez> 4. still need to get with Cody
13:48 < hamez> 5. whatever's the top priority
13:48 < hamez> 6. don't think so
13:48 < hamez> EOF
13:49 < dbcooper> rysan: pie > cake
13:49 < PerlJam> okay ... anything else we need to discuss?
13:50 < hamez> what are the priorities for FTers this week?
13:50 < hamez> (can discuss after the meeting adjourns)
13:50 < rysan> dbcooper: really? Is that your personal preference?
13:51 < dbcooper> rysan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMRvAXkcZFk
13:51 < dbcooper> rysan: Let me defer this derail until after the meeting. But that audio clip is insufficient. He delivers a better rant somewhere else.
13:52 < PerlJam> hamez: Good question, but I'm going to punt for a little bit as I'm in the middle of a meeting with the architects. But bascially, I think we should get a quote together for moving our servers over to the NOC.
13:52 < PerlJam> hamez: if you could work on that, that would be great.
13:52 < hamez> sounds good
13:52 < rysan> dbcooper: I just think that the only pie that rivals any cake is Key Lime Pie. Otherwise cake>pie.
13:53 < PerlJam> If there's nothing else, I'm going to call it done.
13:53 < dbcooper> I second the motion to close the meeting.
13:53 < PerlJam> done then.
13:53 < hamez> aye
13:53 < rysan> third
13:53 < rysan> even though it doesn't count since its already ended apparently!
13:53 < PerlJam> dbcooper, hamez: I'll probably come up to talk with you guys after this meetings.
13:53 < PerlJam> er, s/ings/ing/
13:55 < dbcooper> rysan: Adam is referring to playing-the-odds of cake vs. pie. As in cheap pie > cheap cake. High quality cakes can be better than cheap pie, but since they are rarer, the odds favor pie.
13:55 < dbcooper> Meeting closed.

13:20 * rysan stands at the ready

13:25 < PerlJam> T- 5min
13:29 < PerlJam> T-1 min.
13:30 < rysan> We're a minute late!
13:30 < rysan> at least, by my clock
13:30 < PerlJam> your clock is wrong.
13:31 < PerlJam> cashcraft: you're up
13:31 < cashcraft> 1. How many hours can you work this week? (this one is really only for the students)
13:31 < cashcraft> 20 hrs, I have family in town this week so I probably won't be in as much.
13:31 < cashcraft> 2. What progress have you made on what you were working on last week?
13:31 < cashcraft> Wrote test script for ncep-pntFileGen and documented the files a little better (still need to add pod documentation)
13:31 < cashcraft> 3. Did you run into anything that's stopping you from making progress?
13:31 < cashcraft> Only myself
13:31 < 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?)
13:31 < cashcraft> Not at this time.
13:31 < cashcraft> 5. What do you plan to work on this week?
13:31 < cashcraft> I need to start on ncep-degribbit, not sure how long it will take since I'm starting from scratch
13:31 < cashcraft> 6. Is there anything else that we should be aware of? Any new business?
13:31 < cashcraft> Not that I'm aware of
13:31 < cashcraft> ----End----
13:31 < PerlJam> cashcraft++ for testing :)
13:31 < cbrown5> 1) 40
13:31 < cbrown5> 2) met with james and now better understand how to get
13:31 < cbrown5> the salinity data from USGS. Started on some code to pull
13:31 < cbrown5> the data but dont have much yet. I also talked with
13:31 < cbrown5> james about pulling the location of Bench Marks and
13:31 < cbrown5> got a good piece of code for that completed.
13:31 < PerlJam> cbrown5: you're up
13:31 < cbrown5> 3)No
13:31 < cbrown5> 4)Not at the moment but maybe
13:31 < cbrown5> 5)Finish code for Bench Marks and work on USGS pull
13:31 < cbrown5> 6)No
13:31 < cbrown5> *******End of Report********
13:31 < PerlJam> oh ... didn't even wait for the call. cbrown5++
13:31 < PerlJam> rysan: you're up
13:32 < rysan> 1. 30-40~
13:32 < rysan> 2. I've written several new tests, changed up (abstracted) the test file, and written and
13:32 < rysan> entirely new test script that utilizes real data (controlled) instead of a generated sin curve.
13:32 < rysan> This is all in an effort to further facilitate testing. Also, Scott and I set up a crontab so
13:32 < rysan> that the database on Proto will regularly update to reflect the database on lighthouse.
13:32 < rysan> This is to aid in my testing on proto more than anything else.
13:32 < rysan> 3. Not really.
13:32 < rysan> 4. It always helps, though, probably not till later in the week when I'm done with some things.
13:32 < rysan> 5. I plan to add some features to the spike test scripts that Scott indicated that he wanted,
13:32 < rysan> such as changing the amplitude of the spike data and running the tests on it all again, in order
13:32 < rysan> to note the effects. I'd also really like to start on the UI side of this stuff, so that I can
13:32 < rysan> be over and done with spikes.
13:32 < rysan> 6. Not that I can think of readily. Last week Chase and I spent some time helping Sara with Gina's
13:32 < rysan> office. Moving stuff out, moving stuff around, moving it back in, hooking it back up...etc. We
13:32 < rysan> removed the compters/monitors from the room before she painted, and then replaced them after.
13:32 < rysan> ========+END+============
13:33 < PerlJam> hamez: you're up
13:33 < hamez> one sec
13:33 < dbcooper> I'm ready.
13:33 < PerlJam> we'll wait for hamez
13:34 < dbcooper> Ok.
13:36 < hamez> 2. prepared presentation for TCOON meeting, added mapping of benchmarks, helped flesh out data synchronization
13:36 < hamez> 3. nope
13:36 < hamez> 4. probably more w/ Cody at some point
13:36 < hamez> 5. implementing data synchronization?
13:36 < hamez> 6. my laptop HD crashed again?
13:36 < hamez> EOT
13:37 < PerlJam> hamez++ for the benchmark mapping.
13:37 < PerlJam> dbcooper: next!
13:37 < dbcooper> 1. How many hours can you work this week?
13:37 < dbcooper> A: N/A
13:37 < dbcooper> 2. What progress have you made on what you were working on last week?
13:37 < dbcooper> A: Cleaned and verified Doug's/Philippe's Florida data, tickle me Kermit (ptisab), Tape backups (redux), meetings on Lighthouse synchronization
13:37 < dbcooper> 3. Did you run into anything that's stopping you from making progress?
13:37 < dbcooper> A: Nope.
13:37 < 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?)
13:37 < dbcooper> A: JD and Scott, probably. May want/need some time w/ Chase. Will spend time w/ Chris this week as well.
13:37 < dbcooper> 5. What do you plan to work on this week?
13:37 < dbcooper> A: A few issues for Doug (remove old mktab files, 1 page monthly summary), automatic Xpert data recovery? Handling field support calls. I'd like to look at DHCP issues w/ Chris on Tuesday morning--Windows Vista, Server 2008 and newish Mac OS X don't accept DHCP leases from meridian.
13:37 < dbcooper> 6. Is there anything else that we should be aware of? Any new business?
13:37 < dbcooper> A: Chris will be here tomorrow morning (9AM-1PM). I have Dr.'s appointments on Tuesday and Thursday morning (Google Calendar).
13:37 < dbcooper> EOL
13:38 < PerlJam> PerlJam: next!
13:38 < PerlJam> 1. 40 (at least :)
13:38 < PerlJam> 2. Lots of discussion, very little implementation.
13:38 < PerlJam> 3. Only my lack of omniscience
13:38 < PerlJam> 4. I need to meet with Josh about his progress some time this week. Sooner rather than later. If someone could pass the word along. Also, Ryan, I'd like to get this spike thing wrapped up so that we can move on to other stuff. Plan on next week being the last on spikes. So, we need to talk about that this week some time.
13:38 < PerlJam> 5. The once and future Pharos, more ciap proposal stuff, anything that anyone of the it folks needs help with.
13:38 < PerlJam> 6. Random tidbit: we meet with the architects again on the 16th
13:38 < PerlJam> END OF LINE
13:39 < PerlJam> anyone have anything in particular they'd like to discuss?
13:39 < PerlJam> Any questions?
13:39 < PerlJam> I have a question for Chase I guess if no one else has anything.
13:39 < rysan> I have nothing.
13:39 < cashcraft> PerlJam: I will forward your request to Josh, he said he should be in tomorrow though
13:39 < dbcooper> Doug has an issue w/ mktab where it breaks when data has been removed via corrections. When you "retabulate", the old high/lows are still present.
13:39 < PerlJam> cashcraft: and that answers my question :)
13:40 < PerlJam> dbcooper: yes, that's been a persistent problem because of the nature of the "Page" files.
13:41 < PerlJam> dbcooper: retabulation really should mean "clear existing tabulations first"
13:42 < PerlJam> anything else?
13:42 < dbcooper> PerlJam: So removing the old "page" file and/or clearing the hash before tabulating is a reasonable solution?
13:43 < PerlJam> dbcooper: for tabulations, yes. I can't imagine why I'd ever want to keep around old highs/lows when retabulating.
13:43 < PerlJam> The main reason anyone retabulates is that somethign about the data has changed.
13:43 < hamez> PerlJam: when would you like to meet to talk about moving forward with the "new" Pharos?
13:44 < PerlJam> hamez: good question. What are you and dbcooper doing this afternoon?
13:45 < dbcooper> Doug stuff.
13:45 < hamez> meeting with you :)
13:45 < PerlJam> dbcooper: btw, we may just add an option to PageUpdate() that clears the file
13:45 < PerlJam> dbcooper: can you spare 30-45 minutes say?
13:45 < dbcooper> Sure.
13:46 < PerlJam> how does 2:30 sound? I need a little time to digest my lunch :)
13:46 < dbcooper> Works for me.
13:46 < hamez> sounds good
13:47 < PerlJam> okay, I'll come up there then
13:48 < PerlJam> anything else?
13:50 < PerlJam> I'll take that as a "no".
13:50 < hamez> nothing else from me
13:50 < dbcooper> I put two things in planned work today.
13:50 < dbcooper> Err, make that 3.
13:51 < dbcooper> Well, I added one of them a while ago, so I suppose technically I only added 2 this week.
13:51 < PerlJam> dbcooper: is there something you want to discuss about these entries?
13:52 < dbcooper> Not really.
13:52 < PerlJam> motion to end the meeting?
13:53 < hamez> I move to adjourn
13:53 < dbcooper> I second the motion.
13:53 < PerlJam> then done! Meeting adjourned.

13:32 < rysan> 1. 20-30
13:32 < rysan> 2. Well mostly I've still been testing and retesting the spike stuff, which is still coming along fine.
13:32 < rysan> 3. Well there's till some quirks with the real data I'm using, and I've had a little trouble pinpointing where those numbers are, but for the most part I just need to move on with this, so I need to talk to Scott about what's next (and how to finish spikes).
13:32 < rysan> 4. As mentioned, I need some time with Scott.
13:32 < rysan> 5. Whatever Scott suggests to finish spikes.

13:34 < PerlJam> 1. as much time allows :)
13:34 < PerlJam> 2. worked on Pharos layout a bit, mostly trouble shot problems with NTRIP caster
13:34 < PerlJam> 3. other work
13:34 < PerlJam> 4. Ryan, you and I were supposed to meet last week but didn't. Let's set a time either today or tomorrow.
13:34 < PerlJam> 5. NTRIP caster, new pharos layout, more writing, meet with EOC personnel
13:34 < PerlJam> 6. Met with the architects last week and hammered out a better building design plan which they will update and we will comment on via email this week. No Blucher Foundation support on the proposal to get a New building. :-( We're participating nn a proposal with the City to outfit local stations with WiFi so that we have another mechanism to
13:34 < PerlJam> get data. As art of this propopsal we'll develop touch scereen kiosks for various locations around the city.
13:35 < PerlJam> Hmm. odd copy-paste error there . "As art" is really "As part" in the other window.

13:35 < PerlJam> rysan: when do you want to meet?
13:36 < PerlJam> And has anyone seen hamez?
13:36 < dbcooper> Si. He's here.
13:36 < dbcooper> Oh. He's disconnected, I think?
13:36 < PerlJam> oh, and jrod too ?
13:37 < dbcooper> jrod is AWOL.
13:37 < dbcooper> hamez is having trouble connecting.
13:37 < dbcooper> mmmm, laggy.
13:39 < dbcooper> We're having connection issues up here.
13:39 < PerlJam> *tap* *tap* Is this thing on?
13:39 < rysan> PerlJam: when is good for you? We could spend all day tomorrow going over stuff, if you like
13:39 < rysan> He's here - I think he's got a weird connection issue
13:39 < rysan> no, he's not here. Not sure about him.
13:39 < cashcraft> I just got a text from Josh, He's stuck in traffic, there was a wreck in portalnd
13:39 * rysan shakes head
13:39 -!- hamez [n=jdavis@triton.cbi.tamucc.edu] has joined #dnr-is
13:40 < hamez> ok, I'm on
13:40 < hamez> 2. Specced out new servers for NOC, reseached DRAC, added ability to map benchmarks
13:40 < hamez> 3. Nope
13:40 < hamez> 4. Need to meet w/ Cody. Meeting set for 2 pm tomorrow
13:40 < hamez> 5. New Pharos
13:40 < hamez> 6. Don't think so
13:40 < hamez> EOT
13:41 < PerlJam> rysan: Any time tomorrow is good for me. You pick a time that works for you. (otherwise I'll pick an early morning time :)
13:42 < rysan> PerlJam: Morning's aren't my thing - How about 1pm-5pm?
13:42 < PerlJam> hamez: Has Rizzo talked to you about the servers yet? He needs the exact quotes so that he and Gina can figure out where to pull money frmo.
13:42 < PerlJam> rysan: I don't think we need to meet for 4 hours, but 1pm works for me.
13:42 < hamez> he has not, I'll get the exact quotes
13:43 < rysan> PerlJam: It was more of a time-range that I felt was good for me than a literal "lets meet for 4 hours" :P
13:45 < PerlJam> rysan: well, Somehow I think that if we start at 4:55pm, we won't have enough time to talk things out :)
13:46 < rysan> PerlJam: That's assuming the two of us (or you, more likely) would be leaving at exactly 5pm. I'm very open to staying however late is needed :)
13:47 < PerlJam> anyway ... anything else?
13:47 < dbcooper> it3d, outhouse backups should run this week.
13:49 < rysan> if that's meeting adjourned I'm going to lunch...
13:49 * rysan awaits confirmation
13:49 < PerlJam> oh, that reminds me ... hamez, you should get with keith about how much power, A/C, rack space, etc. we need and see if he can't give us a dollar figure on how much it would cost to house our stuff in the NOC
13:49 < cashcraft> I say Wendys raid for lunch, WHOS WITH ME!?!?
13:49 < PerlJam> I haven't heard back from Omar yet about the networking, I'll ping him again this week.
13:50 < PerlJam> anyway ... that's all I've got.
13:50 < hamez> PerlJam: will do
13:51 < PerlJam> unless someone objects, I say meeting adjourned
13:51 < rysan> /agree
13:51 * cashcraft hangs head in dissapointment, guess its a solo raid
13:51 < dbcooper> I second.
13:52 < rysan> K-I'm leaving for lunch then
13:52 < PerlJam> okay.

13:36 < rysan> 4. Well, I'm still trying to deterime the best Master's project that will both
13:36 < rysan> work for me and the company. So if meeting with the IT3D would help me come to a
13:36 < rysan> decision quicker so I can get started (aka if you all have more ideas and suggestions)
13:36 < rysan> then yes, meeting would help.
13:36 < rysan> 5. I really need to find and begin a Master's project, that is my goal.
13:36 < rysan> 6. Not really. Other than its almost August and Chase and I will be gone

13:45 < rysan> I don't have anything.
13:46 < dbcooper> Going once.
13:47 < dbcooper> rysan: Are you lacking work tasks this week?
13:47 < rysan> dbcooper: yes
13:47 < rysan> dbcooper: I really need to find a master's project/work project (dual) so I can start working on that
13:47 < dbcooper> Backup lfredl, ptardl maybe?
13:48 < dbcooper> Si. I don't know what else to suggest.
13:48 < rysan> I've no idea what those are
13:49 < dbcooper> Old PCs we were using as data loggers at Los Fresnos (lfredl) and Port Aransas (ptardl). We replaced them w/ newer PCs. We still need to backup the hard disks (esp. the user directories w/ data) before repurposing/surplusing those machines.
13:49 < rysan> ah, alright
13:49 < rysan> I can do that
13:49 < rysan> I'm all ears on projects, as well
13:49 < dbcooper> The two former data loggers are in NRC 3414. They're linux boxes.
13:50 < cbrown5> create some sort of AI that would be cool
13:50 < dbcooper> That's all I can think of.
13:51 < rysan> Ok, I'll do that
13:51 < dbcooper> Anyone have anything else to add before we close?
13:51 < cashcraft> Not i
13:51 < cbrown5> nope
