13:36 < dbcooper> 1. How many hours can you work this week?
13:36 < dbcooper> A: N/A
13:36 < dbcooper> 2. What progress have you made on what you were working on last week?
13:36 < dbcooper> A: Finished Philippe monthly report edits including some Pharos code improvements/debugging (still need to checkout edits on lighthouse), Dedire's server stuff

13:36 < dbcooper> A: No.
13:36 < 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?)

13:36 < dbcooper> A: GIS website on CD, ??
13:36 < dbcooper> 6. Is there anything else that we should be aware of? Any new business?
13:36 < dbcooper> A: THIS IS STUDENT REVIEW WEEK (more for it3d than students), Chris will be here tomorrow morning (9AM-1PM).
13:36 < dbcooper> EOL
13:37 < PerlJam> 1. 40 of course
13:37 < PerlJam> 2. Not enough
13:37 < PerlJam> 3. Just my own add and lack of focus and time and such
13:37 < PerlJam> 4. Always.
13:37 < PerlJam> 5. More pharos stuff, ntrip caster thingy for Stacey (again).
13:37 < PerlJam> 6. I'm out on Friday and I have dentist appointmenton Wed. Also, facebook pages for tcoon stations. Who wants to tackle it? We've got about 2 weeks to do it. Nothing fancy yet, but it should update with the latest data from each station as it comes in.
13:37 < PerlJam> EOL
13:38 < PerlJam> But let me emphasis the facebook pages ... again, who wants to do it?
13:38 < dbcooper> One facebook page for each station?
13:38 < PerlJam> er, emphasize even
13:38 < PerlJam> dbcooper: maybe.
13:38 < cashcraft> facebook is so 3 years ago :P
13:38 < PerlJam> whatever works best and it's up to whoever it is to figure that out.
13:38 < dbcooper> Why not a second life avatar for each station?
13:39 < cashcraft> dbcooper: this idea is win
13:39 < PerlJam> dbcooper: you can do that when it becomes more relevant.
13:39 < hamez> I'll tackle the facebook pages
13:39 < dbcooper> PerlJam: It sounds just as relevant [to me] as a facebook page for each station.
13:39 < PerlJam> dbcooper: your relevancy indicator needs calibration.
13:40 < PerlJam> hamez: we can discuss it here (and now) or we can meet in person to talk about it in more detail. up to you.
13:40 < dbcooper> PerlJam: Did this facebook page request come down "from above"?
13:41 < jrod1> Dont we have have individual pages for the stations through the website?
13:41 < PerlJam> we do
13:41 < PerlJam> dbcooper: sort of.
13:41 < dbcooper> jrod1: Currently our stations our friendless. This must be addressed.
13:41 < PerlJam> It was a topic of discussion at today's staff meeting.
13:41 < dbcooper> s/[2nd] our/are/
13:42 < PerlJam> dbcooper: ITYM s:2nd/our/are/ :)
13:42 < cashcraft> dbcooper: increase your friends by 200 by using this <link>
13:43 < dbcooper> PerlJam: Is that valid VIM syntax? [Not sarcasm]
13:43 < PerlJam> We discussed a user-survey and it cam up that maybe facebook would give us that information. people who befriend a particular station show interest in that station.
13:43 < dbcooper> Or even reasonably valid VI syntax.
13:43 < PerlJam> dbcooper: perl6
13:43 < dbcooper> Oooh.
13:43 < PerlJam> s:n(2)/our/are/ would have worked too.
13:43 < hamez> PerlJam: hmm, intersting idea
13:43 < dbcooper> Excellent. Bob Hall Pier can chat with hot lonely 18 year old females with webcams.
13:44 < jrod1> PerlJam: thanks for explanation! Wouldnt Twitter be better for this?
13:44 < PerlJam> jrod1: twitter could work too but FB has more stuff that could prove useful to us
13:45 < rysan> I would have fun writing a program to auto-update a twitter page for each station based on current data
13:45 < jrod1> ahhh
13:45 < PerlJam> for instance, forums, polls, surveys, we could create our own FB app, etc.
13:45 < PerlJam> rysan: I am not opposed to that either, if you want to do it.
13:45 < rysan> PerlJam: Can you magnify it into a Master's project?
13:45 < PerlJam> (i.e., you could do that an consider it "work")
13:46 < dbcooper> What about starting w/ facebook pages for our 5 (any number) most popular stations?
13:46 < PerlJam> rysan: It's *your* job to magnify it :)
13:46 < dbcooper> Most popular == stations w/ the most data requests.
13:46 < PerlJam> rysan: but Dr. King did mention that "social networking" was more researchy.
13:46 < rysan> Perljam: true
13:46 < hamez> what counts as a data request?
13:46 < rysan> So, who's up for Wall-bangers? I say we call this and continue our discussions there!!
13:47 < PerlJam> I don't care which stations we start with as long as they are TCOON stations and that they aren't "private"
13:48 < PerlJam> rysan: sorry, no Wallbangers for me, I'm waiting for Cyndi to come by right now.
13:48 < dbcooper> hamez: Overview page + pd? Maybe use Google Analytics to look for site visits to filter out multiple requests from the same source (e.g., automated data polling from another server).
13:48 < afterefx> http://www.sudancs.com.nyud.net/Books/
13:51 < dbcooper> afterefx: Uh, are these downloads legal?
13:52 < rysan> Remove the /books/
13:52 < rysan> http://www.sudancs.com.nyud.net/
13:52 < jrod1> its an attack!!!!
13:52 < rysan> Its a terrorist attack!
13:53 < dbcooper> Please do not download books from this website on the TAMU-CC network, esp. the 165.95.1.255/23 subnet.

13:54 < cashcraft> since we are off topic anyways: http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/169469/fake_atm_doesnt_last_long_at_hacker_meet.html
13:54 < PerlJam> hamez: BTW, there's a perl module on CPAN (WWW::Facebook::API) for talking to FB. So, we should be able to relatively easily do automatic posts whenever data comes in.
13:55 < rysan> PerlJam: that's cool stuff
13:55 < hamez> cool, I'll take a look at it
13:55 < dbcooper> What is a good day/days for student reviews?
13:56 < jrod1> anyday for me
13:56 < cbrown> same
13:56 < dbcooper> Thursday?
13:56 < cashcraft> sounds good
13:56 < jrod1> yes sounds good...
13:56 < PerlJam> works for me

13:58 < PerlJam> yes
13:58 < hamez> works for me
13:58 < dbcooper> 3-5PM?
13:58 < jrod1> yes
13:58 < dbcooper> ~:30 per student?
13:58 < rysan> rysan: I've always thought Academic Advisor (AA) should have a different/better name, for exactly that reason
13:58 < PerlJam> dbcooper: sounds good.
13:58 < PerlJam> dbcooper++
13:58 < rysan> lol s/rysan/perljam/
13:58 < cashcraft> dbcooper: count me in
13:59 < cbrown> sounds good to me

14:00 * rysan salivates at the thought of Wallbangers
14:01 < rysan> dbcooper: So, is this all 3 IT heads with one person
14:01 < rysan> or is it 1 on 1?
14:01 < dbcooper> rysan: it3d w/ one student.
14:01 < jrod1> pwnage 3:1
14:01 < rysan> db: sounds good to me
14:02 < dbcooper> Is there anything else we need to discuss?
14:02 < PerlJam> heh, the window washers are trying to figure out how to wash my windows
14:02 < PerlJam> dbcooper: nope.
14:02 < dbcooper> PerlJam: pictures please
14:03 < dbcooper> Video, preferrably. :)
14:03 < cashcraft> PerlJam: pics or it didn't happen
14:03 < PerlJam> you want video of a couple of guys standing around looking at my windows?
14:03 < rysan> lol
14:03 < jrod1> they are master planning!
14:04 < dbcooper> PerlJam: No, I want the heavily edited version of it which lasts about one minute and is full of LOL.
14:04 < afterefx> Hey guys, sorry about that message earlier. I thought the books were freely available. Only looked at one or two
14:04 < PerlJam> afterefx: a security professional should be more cautious :)
14:04 < dbcooper> afterefx: They appear to be freely available whether or not its legal. :)
14:05 < dbcooper> Download the .RAR file and run BOOK.EXE to read it!
14:05 < rysan> lol
14:05 < afterefx> :P
14:06 < afterefx> :) can't do exe on a mac :D
14:06 < jrod1> dbcooper: did Daniel give you the password to CHRGIS logging?
14:06 < rysan> meeting adjourned?
14:06 < PerlJam> rysan: aye
14:06 < cashcraft> nom nom time
14:06 < rysan> PerlJam: *dances* food awaits me
14:06 < PerlJam> feel free to talk amongst yourselves though :)
14:06 < rysan> We shall...over burgers
14:07 < dbcooper> jrod1: I don't think so.
14:07 < dbcooper> Okay. I move to end this meeting.
14:07 < dbcooper> s/move/make a motion/
14:07 < rysan> db: pj said it was over already
14:07 < PerlJam> dbcooper: it's ended whether you make a motion or not :)
14:07 < dbcooper> Oh. Ok. Good news.
14:07 < dbcooper> PerlJam: I missed that.

13:32 < hamez> Q. How many hours can you work this week? (this one is really only for the
13:32 < hamez> students)
13:32 < hamez> A. About 40
13:32 < hamez> Q. What progress have you made on what you were working on last week?
13:32 < hamez> A. I started to make a perl package for common regular expressions but
13:32 < PerlJam> oh, that's right, he did email his.
13:32 < hamez> while making one I think will work this matter is a little over what I
13:32 < hamez> know. I will need to research it a little further and probably need to
13:32 < hamez> meet with someone to make sure I am doing it right.
13:32 < hamez> Q. Did you run into anything that's stopping you from making progress?
13:32 < hamez> A. Just lack of knowledge
13:32 < hamez> Q. Do you need some face time with one of IT3D? (or if you are IT3D, do
13:32 < hamez> you need any face time with a student?)
13:32 < hamez> A. Probably
13:32 < hamez> Q. What do you plan to work on this week?
13:32 < hamez> A. The regex package if you'll want me to continue with that, and tests
13:32 < hamez> for getbmlocation.

13:32 < rysan> it.
13:32 < rysan> 3. Not so much
13:32 < rysan> 4. If any of you need something, then sure. I'm ok.
13:33 < rysan> 5. I plan to finish tweaking my Packery script, then start working on an interactive
13:33 < rysan> twitter page that you can request data from. I also plan to get this (or something similar)

13:36 < PerlJam> who was at the Friday meeting last week?
13:36 < cashcraft> all of us
13:37 < PerlJam> Did they mention the NCAR proposal fell apart?
13:37 < cashcraft> I don't believe so, or at least I don't remember hearing anything about that
13:37 < PerlJam> We were working with NCAR to get $6 million from NSF, but needed some buy-in from companies that have off-shore oil wells.
13:38 < PerlJam> NCAR was working on Shell and they pulled out. No oil-company, no proposal
13:38 < dbcooper> Shell pulled out?
13:38 < PerlJam> apparently.
13:39 < dbcooper> Any plans to pursue other companies w/ platforms in the Gulf (if there are others)?
13:40 < PerlJam> not that I know of. someone was talking with BP since they have platforms off of Texas, but I don't think that got anywhere
13:41 < PerlJam> anyway, unless someone has something specific to discuss, I think we can call it adjourned.
13:42 < jrod> Scott can we set a meet time?
13:42 < dbcooper> jrod: Did you want to meet w/ me, re: ArcGIS stuff?
13:43 < jrod> Anyone Available after we get more sight of what daniel is talking about
13:43 < PerlJam> jrod: pick a time, my schedule is openish.
13:43 < jrod> ok Ill set it on google calendar
13:44 < jrod> PerlJam: hows 1:30 ish sound tomorrow?
13:45 < PerlJam> works for me.
13:45 < PerlJam> ah, *I* have something to discuss now that I think about it .... Have all of you student-type people put your work schedule in google calendar?
13:45 < dbcooper> jrod: Put an entry in Google Calendar.
13:47 < jrod> dbcooper: Should i wait for Daniels reply first?
13:47 < jrod> or deidres*
13:48 < dbcooper> jrod: I received a reply from Daniel today. He CC'd your islander account.
13:48 < cashcraft> PerlJam: I have not but I will do that today, thanks for reminding me
13:50 < jrod> dbcooper: yes but scott said Deidre was emailing Lyle about the machines and such so we can get more sight not things...
13:50 < jrod> on things..*
13:51 < rysan> PerlJam: I'm still not sure on 1 classs, but will put my other 3 classes on there
13:51 < PerlJam> rysan: work schedule, not class schedule :)
13:52 < rysan> PerlJam: given that my work will be based around my classes, one cannot come without the other.
13:53 < PerlJam> Just don't paint a picture of your class schedule and leave voids for your work schedule. The figure is your work schedule on the background of your classes.
14:03 < dbcooper> I move to adjourn the meeting.
14:05 < cashcraft> I second
14:05 < PerlJam> done
Monday, 17 August 2009
13:30 < PerlJam> okay folks, who's here?
13:30 * HerrDoktor waves
13:31 * hamez is present
13:31 * dbcooper is present
13:31 < cbrown5> hear
13:31 < dbcooper> Cody is here.
13:31 < cbrown5> here
13:31 < HerrDoktor> i'm here but I"m not sure why, my meeting notes are quite skim
13:32 < PerlJam> well, let us begin with cbrown5 then
13:32 < cbrown5> # How many hours can you work this week? (this one is really only for the students)
13:32 < cbrown5> ~40
13:32 < cbrown5> # What progress have you made on what you were working on last week?
13:32 < cbrown5> Met with chase and learned about testing. Got a testing station created and started adding in data to it to test my program out. Also started coding a testing script.
13:32 < cbrown5> # Did you run into anything that's stopping you from making progress?
13:32 < cbrown5> No
13:32 < cbrown5> # Do you need some face time with one of IT3D? (or if you are IT3D, do you need any face time with a student?)
13:32 < cbrown5> I dont think so
13:32 < cbrown5> # What do you plan to work on this week?
13:32 < cbrown5> Continue with testing my program and backing up Goliath and Rapture
13:32 < cbrown5> # Is there anything else that we should be aware of? Any new business?
13:32 < cbrown5> Actually yeah. I dont know what the policy is regarding student employees
13:32 < cbrown5> but I ended up deciding to go to Del Mar for a semester.
13:33 < cbrown5> Idk what the rule for that is
13:33 < PerlJam> cbrown5: so you won't be attending TAMUCC at all?
13:34 < cbrown5> No I was planning on it but my GPA indeeded up being to low and my apeal didnt go threw
13:34 < cbrown5> It's kinda been a last minute deal
13:35 < PerlJam> okay, I'll check on what the deal is if we can still let you work with us.
13:35 < cbrown5> ok
13:36 < PerlJam> Next!
13:36 < HerrDoktor> 1. 0! Vacation
13:36 < HerrDoktor> oh noe!
13:37 < HerrDoktor> its gonna make me do 1 line at atime
13:37 < HerrDoktor> 2. well mostly i've been playing wth Palm pre's SDK, and working a bit on the 'master' twitter script
13:37 < HerrDoktor> 3. Vacation!
13:37 < HerrDoktor> 4. Not gonna be around
13:37 < HerrDoktor> 5. Relaxing.

13:37 < PerlJam> dbcooper: you're up

13:38 < dbcooper> A: N/A
13:38 < dbcooper> 2. What progress have you made on what you were working on last week?
13:38 < dbcooper> A: nesscan testing, SrcList.pm peer coding w/ Scott, lighthouse synchronization meeting w/ it3d.
13:38 < dbcooper> 3. Did you run into anything that's stopping you from making progress?
13:38 < dbcooper> A: Not really.
13:38 < 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?)
13:38 < dbcooper> A: Will spend time w/ Chris this week.
13:38 < dbcooper> 5. What do you plan to work on this week?
13:38 < dbcooper> A: Finish nesscan testing, mktab (delete), finish putting GIS website onto CD.
13:38 < dbcooper> 6. Is there anything else that we should be aware of? Any new business?
13:38 < dbcooper> A: Chris will be here tomorrow morning (9AM-1PM). I will be at DCBA training this coming Thursday 2-3PM.
13:38 < dbcooper> EOL
13:38 < hamez> 2. Got facebook feed working, investigated date/time issue with buoys, fixed AQDP.pm, created new series to calculate magnitude and direction from North and East components of currents, supported field crew
13:38 < hamez> 3. Not really
13:38 < hamez> 4. Definitely will need face time with the other two D's this week
13:39 < hamez> 5. New Pharos
13:39 < hamez> 6. I would like to take vacation Friday
13:39 < hamez> EOT
13:39 < PerlJam> 1. 40
13:39 < PerlJam> 2. Not enough
13:39 < PerlJam> 3. Nope
13:39 < PerlJam> 4. Always
13:39 < PerlJam> 5. Pharos and continue working on stuff for Stacey
13:39 < PerlJam> 6. Gary wants to tell noaa what we're doing with the facebook pages, but not if we're usinga noaa station. So, we need to have it up and running for Packery and he'll tell them that.
13:39 < PerlJam> END OF LINE
13:40 < hamez> re: #6, I have packery set up, just not publishing data. I'll get it going today
13:40 < PerlJam> so, this week is basically studentless. And it3d are going to focus on Pharos.
13:40 < dbcooper> PerlJam: Cody's here.
13:41 < PerlJam> yeah, he's the only reason we won't be *completely* studentless.
13:42 < PerlJam> hamez: I'm no sure of Rizzo's schedule, but we need to get moving on whatever purchases we need to make to put our servers in the NOC. Get with Gina about it.
13:43 < hamez> ok, will do
13:43 < PerlJam> If she says we don't have any money, then we'll need to talk to Gary :)
13:44 < HerrDoktor> yeah sorry about that - Josh is in Vegas and Chase and I are in LA
13:44 < HerrDoktor> we all picked the same week to vacation
13:44 < HerrDoktor> lol
13:44 < PerlJam> oh, random stuff: I had a good chat with Rick Smith this morning. I asked him to spec what he thinks a shared GIS server should look like. And that too will end up in the NOC at some point (since it's going to use outhouse for storage)
13:45 < PerlJam> (We may enhance existing hardware or if someone has money, just buy a new system)
13:46 < PerlJam> Rick also seemed receptive to guiding Josh in doing more GISy things relating to Height-Mod if that's what we want to do.
13:47 < hamez> that would be good. Neither Dan nor Greg seem to know what to do with him
13:48 < hamez> and since Rick is a CS, he'd be a better mentor for Josh
13:49 < hamez> I guess Dan has a CS background too
13:49 < HerrDoktor> dbcooper: can you email me a short blurb about DNR (like the one you send out in 'what we are looking for in students' email) so THat can give it to tedford so she can send me contact info on some students?
13:49 < PerlJam> I'm going to a meeting next Thu along with Gary, Greg, Gina, Dan, and I don't know who else to talk with TNRIS. Even in all of the confusion regarding height-mod, there are certain deliverables we are contractually obligated for .
13:54 < PerlJam> Anything else of interest?
13:55 < hamez> I move to adjourn
13:55 < dbcooper> HerrDoktor: Ok.
13:55 < dbcooper> I second the motion to adjourn.
13:56 < PerlJam> so be it!
13:56 < HerrDoktor> cheers guys! have a good work week while we're in LA :D

13:46 < dbcooper> PerlJam: When is the deadline meeting?
13:46 < PerlJam> dbcooper: which?
13:46 < dbcooper> PerlJam: The first one this week/
13:46 < dbcooper> s/\//?/
13:46 < PerlJam> dbcooper: the first one *was* at 10:30 :)
13:47 < dbcooper> Oh. I meant the second one, then.
13:47 < dbcooper> How about; when is the *next* deadline meeting?
13:47 < PerlJam> Wednesday morning. 8:00am. How does that sound?
13:47 < dbcooper> As in the "finish #2 deadline" meeting.
13:48 < dbcooper> Heh. Touche.
13:48 < dbcooper> Fine. 8AM it is.
13:51 < dbcooper> Oh, btw, all student workers (except Ryan) will have to submit hours worked to us (it3d, preferrably their mentor?) and we have to sign off on them.
13:52 * dbcooper feels like he's talking to himself.
13:53 * hamez is listening
13:56 < dbcooper> It has been decided.
13:59 < dbcooper> jrod1: hamez is your [new] mentor.
14:00 < dbcooper> As part of a policy change, you need to submit your hours to hamez (on a timecard or something) and an it3d member [preferrably hamez] needs to sign off on them.
14:00 < jrod1> dbcooper: okay!!!!
14:00 < dbcooper> Gina sent out an e-mail about it recently.
14:00 < jrod1> so we submit on paper as well on timetraq?
14:01 < dbcooper> Let me ask gina.
14:01 < dbcooper> *G
14:01 < jrod1> okay ill review the emails
14:05 < dbcooper> Ok. Let's see if I can recall correctly [supposedly covered in Gina's e-mail].
14:06 < dbcooper> Students track their time in the online time-track application (except for this particular pay-period).
14:07 < dbcooper> They submit, on/before the due date (always a Wednesday, I think) a hardcopy of their hours. This hardcopy is signed by their mentor/it3d.
14:08 < dbcooper> The students can pickup the "timecards" from Gina, who will helpfully customize each "time card" w/ the due date and dates included in that particular time period.
14:08 < dbcooper> If there is any disagreement between time track and the hardcopy, Gina will adjust the time track hours to match the hardcopy.
14:08 < dbcooper> Questions?
14:12 < PerlJam> When's nap time? :)
14:13 < jrod1> My class schedule has been updated on google calendar to meet changes, work schedule is implemented to meet fall classes, let me know if you guys have any questions about my schedule
14:13 < hamez> thanks jrod!
14:13 < dbcooper> jrod1: Thanks.
14:13 < dbcooper> PerlJam: now?
14:13 < PerlJam> jrod1++
14:13 < PerlJam> dbcooper: feels like it.
14:14 < dbcooper> Is there anything else for us to cover?
14:15 < PerlJam> nope
14:15 * hamez moves to adjourn
14:16 < dbcooper> I second hamez's motion.
14:17 < PerlJam> done!

13:34 < rysan> Scott time would be good, but I'm not 100% on my project yet (waiting on a meeting with Dr. King) so, sometime soon.

13:49 < PerlJam> 4. I need face time with all of IT3D. Sooner is better.
13:49 < PerlJam> 5. Meet with folks as needed and work on pharos and nothing else.
13:49 < PerlJam> 6. I'll be working from home on Wednesday. Any ideas on what I should present about the work we a
13:49 < PerlJam> re doing on Friday (It's cake day and I'm presenting and bringing cake)
13:49 < PerlJam> END OF LINE.
13:50 < dbcooper> Any students interested in learning/practicing laptop repair?
13:50 < afterefx> nope
13:50 < afterefx> meeting over?
13:51 < cashcraft> dbcooper: what do you mean by laptop repair?
13:51 < jrod1> for whom?
13:51 < dbcooper> cashcraft: Trying to make a laptop work (properly) again.
13:51 < dbcooper> Disassembling, replacing parts w/o worrying about breaking it b/c its not too valuable at this point.
13:52 < cashcraft> dbcooper: I wouldn't mind giving it a shot
13:52 < cashcraft> dbcooper: if no one else wants to do it
13:52 < jrod1> dido
13:52 < dbcooper> jrod1: ditto? As in you're interested in working on it?
13:52 < jrod1> sure
13:52 < redwards> dbcooper: been there done that - let someone who hasn't play with one :D
13:53 < redwards> s/play/played/
13:53 < PerlJam> Do we have a hub/switch/router that Stacey can borrow?
13:54 < PerlJam> (like right now)
13:54 < dbcooper> PerlJam: We have a switch he can borrow. How many ports does he need?
13:54 < dbcooper> Heh. We can let him borrow the old 3com 10Mbps hub. :)
13:55 < PerlJam> dbcooper: okay, he may be up in a minute to get it.
13:55 < cashcraft> dbcooper: make it so number one
13:55 < dbcooper> The 3com?
13:55 < dbcooper> cashcraft: Number two?
13:55 < PerlJam> dbcooper: whatever you give him :)
13:56 < afterefx> gotta go guys, later
13:56 * afterefx &
13:56 < cashcraft> speaking of afterefx, where is he going to be located now that he is working here?
13:57 < PerlJam> We need to work that out.
13:57 < PerlJam> He can have Cody's little desklet obviously. :)
13:57 < cashcraft> ryan was saying he would be willing to give up part of his desk :)
13:57 < dbcooper> cashcraft: All the student workers have to practice hot racking.
13:58 < redwards> dbcooper: I think chase said he'd give Chris his chair and sit on the floor
13:58 < redwards> what a nice guy he is...
13:59 < jrod1> lol
13:59 < cashcraft> I would be willing to do that, for the good of the department
13:59 < cashcraft> it would be good training for my legs anyways
13:59 < PerlJam> As it is, jrod1 and cashcraft are sharing, right?
13:59 < cashcraft> PerlJam: yes we are, Josh got the short end of the desk :(
13:59 < redwards> PerlJam: if you can call it sharing. cashcraft is dominating the upper third of the desk and Josh has a small portion
13:59 < jrod1> perljam: yes we have the arcgis server as our divider
14:00 < cashcraft> we kick it sometimes, when we need to vent... hope that's ok
14:00 < redwards> it also runs the ever important Dico Ball
14:00 < cashcraft> s/Dico/Disco/
14:00 < PerlJam> Until Philippe moves into Kat's office, that's space we can occupy :)
14:01 < redwards> PerlJam: and that will be when?
14:01 < redwards> PerlJam: I'm of the opinion 'don't waste time moving if you aren't moving for a good amount of time'
14:01 < jrod1> has his students moved in the lab yet?
14:01 < redwards> so it might be good for Chris, but, unless we're going in there for the rest of the semester it'd be easier to stay put.
14:01 < PerlJam> redwards: if we're occupying the space, we might be able to prolong his move-in (the last time I chatted with him about it, he was even unsure if he would do it)
14:02 < PerlJam> jrod1: I don't think so. So, the lab is still available too.
14:02 < redwards> PerlJam: So i get a shiny office to myself and we cram the rest of the people into the closet?
14:02 * redwards kidds
14:02 < PerlJam> redwards: There's only so far seniority gets you :)
14:02 < cashcraft> I will allow that if you bring pizza for the rest of us for an entire month
14:02 < redwards> I'm actually quite comfortable with our 'living' arrangements, but if we do get to expand I wouldn't be opposed to it
14:03 < PerlJam> redwards: if you can bear to part with your bretheren, there's room in my office for another person.
14:03 < redwards> I like the atomosphere of the 'geek closet' that we have up here
14:03 < redwards> PerlJam: maybe, its a thought
14:03 < cashcraft> We still need motivational posters... or de-motivational posters
14:04 < redwards> /agree with cashcraft
14:04 < redwards> and moar whiteboards!
14:05 < PerlJam> When we visited TNRIS on Thursday last, the room we met in had a large screen TV and a 10'x8' whiteboard wall.
14:06 < redwards> and we get that....when?
14:07 < PerlJam> As soon as we get a grant that pays for it.
14:07 < redwards> this is both interesting and scary...in a way
14:07 < redwards> http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/08/28/senate-president-emergency-control-internet/
14:07 < PerlJam> Speaking of grants ... dbcooper, hamez, when is a good time to meet with you guys?
14:07 < redwards> (off topic alert)
14:12 < dbcooper> PerlJam: Today, Wednesday?
14:13 < PerlJam> I won't be in on Wednesday.
14:13 < dbcooper> Oh. Today?
14:13 < PerlJam> Sooner is better.
14:13 < hamez> today works for me
14:13 < PerlJam> 3:00pm my office?
14:14 < hamez> sounds good
14:14 < dbcooper> Ok.
14:15 < dbcooper> PerlJam: How long are we meeting for?
14:16 < PerlJam> dunno. Not long I hope
14:19 < dbcooper> Is the meeting ovr?
14:19 < dbcooper> *over
14:20 < PerlJam> If no one has anything else to discuss
14:21 < dbcooper> Whomever is interested in laptop repair, Sara has the laptop in question in her possession. Also, we will be taking a load of computer stuff from NRC 3414 to surplus tomorrow morning.
14:23 < redwards> I move to end the meeting
14:23 < dbcooper> I second the motion.
14:24 < dbcooper> Okay. *Now* the HRI/NRC parking lots are filling up.
14:25 < jrod1> i guess im bringing the bike today
14:26 < PerlJam> We should setup a camera trained on the parking lots
14:26 < PerlJam> er, perhaps "cameras" would be more appropriate :)
14:27 < dbcooper> I hereby unofficially declare the meeting to be over.
14:28 < cashcraft> dbcooper: and there was much rejoicing
14:28 -!- jrod1 [n=jrodrigu@24-116-105-160.cpe.cableone.net] has left #DNR-IS []
14:28 < dbcooper> Verily, for I am a benevolent lord and kind to all in my domain.
14:29 < cashcraft> jrod1 rejoiced so hard it DC'd him from the chat =/
14:29 < dbcooper> That has happened to me on occasion.
14:29 * PerlJam blesses the disjunction
