| 17:45.54 | mgeary | hey, i'm not getting any love on #django, but i need to change an int(10) field to a bigint field. Is there some option i should pass to the field definition |
| 17:45.55 | mgeary | ? |
| 17:50.29 | dataw0lf | mgeary: you actually have to define your own fieldtype, what version of Django are you using? |
| 17:50.36 | mgeary | 1.0 |
| 17:51.11 | dataw0lf | gimme 30 seconds |
| 17:53.10 | herlo | gimme $2 |
| 17:53.14 | dataw0lf | http://truedat.org/media/bigint.py.txt |
| 17:53.26 | dataw0lf | there you go mgeary. |
| 17:54.21 | dataw0lf | it should work on 1.0, let me know if you have any problems. |
| 17:54.29 | mgeary | is there a place i can stick that so it's available to all my django work, without it being nuked when i upgrade django? |
| 17:54.53 | dataw0lf | there are multiple options |
| 17:54.55 | mgeary | also, what would i need to do to that to make it unsigned? |
| 17:55.02 | dataw0lf | you could just put a django-custom module in site-packages |
| 17:55.12 | dataw0lf | you could have your tools in some other directory and add it to your pythonpath |
| 17:55.49 | dataw0lf | etc etc, any normal Pythonic way of doing something. |
| 17:56.01 | mgeary | ok, how about the unsigned issue? ^^ |
| 17:56.04 | dataw0lf | um change db_type to return 'unsigned bigint' ? |
| 17:56.12 | mgeary | ok |
| 17:56.49 | dataw0lf | when it builds the insertion string it just uses that for each field type (calls db_type) so whatever works for your particular engine |
| 17:57.07 | mgeary | ah, so this probably ought to be name-associated with mysql, in my case |
| 17:57.20 | dataw0lf | if you want to make it cross-compatible you can just do checks on django.conf.settings.DATABASE_ENGINE |
| 17:57.26 | dataw0lf | to see which string to return |
| 17:57.29 | mgeary | ah, cool |
| 17:57.55 | dataw0lf | lemme know if you have any problems, I have to go back to Ruby now :\ |
| 17:57.58 | mgeary | heh |
| 18:03.42 | dataw0lf | my girlfriend's Dad bought half a cow so now I have fifteen pounds of the greatest ground beef in my freezer |

| 18:59.41 | mindjuju | that's where dodgit.com comes in for getting the free stuf witout giving out your email addy |
| 18:59.54 | mindjuju | course, a lot of people look for dodgit.com now adays |

| 19:00.14 | beandog | are they still doing =& |

| 19:21.16 | unum | cnet@unum5.org |
| 19:21.28 | unum | and then I can just delete the address later |
| 19:24.06 | mgeary | i've got postfix set up to resolve addys with account_<something> to resolve to account. That way i can use things like michael_costco@domain.com, and i can tell who's passing out my address, and can kill an address when necessary |
| 19:41.57 | fungus | Cool idea, I do something similar. |
| 19:41.57 | fungus | postfix consults a mysql db that has an expiration date on every account I create. |
| 19:42.03 | fungus | Super simple to create temporary accounts |
| 19:42.39 | mgeary | nice |
| 19:44.23 | mgeary | hey, is there a way to know by looking at the file or directory when a given file is done uploading via FTP? |
| 19:45.16 | beandog | mgeary, thats pretty ingenious |
| 19:45.27 | mgeary | beandog: i can't take credit for it |
| 19:45.32 | mgeary | but it's very handy |
| 19:45.44 | beandog | if you use gmail, anything after + is ignored |
| 19:45.54 | beandog | so, mgear+costco@gmail.com would go to mgeary@gmail |
| 19:45.58 | mgeary | yeah, same thing |
| 19:46.19 | beandog | I just skip the whole thing and let google filter all my spam |
| 19:46.29 | mgeary | fungus, thebigdog, any thoughts on that Q ^^ |
| 19:46.31 | beandog | I can never get a smtp server running correctly. |
| 19:47.01 | mgeary | i've got a cron process that converts media files using ffmpeg, but i need it to not try to convert files that are being uploaded |
| 19:47.07 | _psychic_ | google apps++ |
| 19:47.27 | fungus | mgeary: when the size of the file stops incrementing. :) |
| 19:47.32 | mgeary | bah |
| 19:47.44 | mgeary | from a cronjob perspective, thats a huge pain |
| 19:47.50 | fungus | yes it would be |
| 19:47.57 | mgeary | i was thinking something along the lines of grepping the lsof output |
| 19:48.04 | mgeary | but that seems very inefficient |
| 19:48.05 | fungus | that would work too |
| 19:48.19 | beandog | just create a lock file |
| 19:48.22 | fungus | you can run lsof with the parameter to only look for the one file |
| 19:48.27 | mgeary | fungus: how? |
| 19:48.32 | beandog | touch foo.avi.lock; encode to foo.avi; rm foo.avi.lock |
| 19:48.46 | fungus | lsof <filename> |
| 19:48.47 | beandog | if theres a lock file, its not done. |
| 19:48.47 | mgeary | beandog: no, because it's the FTP program that would have to do that |
| 19:48.50 | beandog | oh. |
| 19:48.52 | beandog | well, poo. |
| 19:48.54 | fungus | any output means it's open |
| 19:49.01 | mgeary | fungus: cool, trying that |
| 19:51.34 | mgeary | bah |
| 19:51.37 | mgeary | do i have to be root? |
| 19:51.47 | mgeary | as root, it seems to behave as expected |
| 19:51.52 | mgeary | as a normal user, i get: |
| 19:52.05 | mgeary | lsof: WARNING: can't stat() proc file system /var/named/chroot/proc |
| 19:56.46 | fungus | bummer, maybe that's an OSX thing |
| 19:57.18 | mgeary | this is on RHEL |
| 19:57.28 | fungus | heh, oh |
| 19:57.34 | mgeary | running it via sudo works as expected |
| 19:58.33 | fungus | well that would work, less than desirable, but effective |
| 19:59.37 | mgeary | well |
| 19:59.51 | mgeary | looks like i can run it w/o sudo, and just grep the output for the filename |
| 20:00.30 | fungus | You might want to pass -n to lsof in that case, just to make sure it doesn't hang on name/number resolution |
| 20:00.47 | mgeary | sounds good |

| 21:41.06 | _psychic_ | yeah we have a pretty solid MF |
| 21:41.11 | _psychic_ | isn't he headed out soon? |
| 21:41.21 | olds | where to? |
| 21:42.33 | _psychic_ | I thought he was getting looks from euro teams |
| 21:42.37 | olds | hmmm |
| 21:42.50 | olds | I thought Seattle's picks were .... interesting |
| 21:42.54 | olds | for the expansion draft |
| 21:43.28 | _psychic_ | yeah I didn't recognize many |
| 21:43.38 | olds | p.s. opening day is April 2 |
| 21:43.41 | olds | vs Columbus |
| 21:43.50 | olds | err, that's our home opener |
| 21:44.50 | _psychic_ | I think that's our first |
| 21:44.56 | _psychic_ | MLS is having some sort of "first kick" stuff |
| 21:45.00 | _psychic_ | but RSL isn't a part of it |
| 21:45.05 | olds | odd |
| 21:45.11 | _psychic_ | I swear the league hates us |
| 21:45.17 | olds | I know we have a bye week for week 1 |
| 21:45.23 | olds | maybe that's why |
| 21:45.32 | olds | I think we're the smallest market |
| 21:45.34 | olds | by far |
| 21:45.48 | _psychic_ | true |
| 21:45.54 | _psychic_ | but we have a decent team |
| 21:46.02 | olds | yea |

| 22:04.50 | mindjuju | well, 3 isn't so bad, if you reincarnate, 3 will get you |

| 22:05.01 | mindjuju | you can come back as a roach! |
| 22:05.13 | beandog | a roach?! |
| 22:05.18 | beandog | hmm, that might be cool. |
| 22:05.21 | mindjuju | well, there is a list of things here |
| 22:05.24 | beandog | I could freak out my sister |
| 22:05.26 | mindjuju | roach, pill bug, etc |
| 22:05.36 | mindjuju | i just said the first one listed in the matrix |
| 22:05.36 | SunSparc | <PROTECTED> |
| 22:05.47 | beandog | heh |
| 22:07.39 | mindjuju | that's weird, i thought GM said it was burning thorugh $6 billion a month and only had cash till December, now they seem to say they can last til March and only need 18 Billion - http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/autos_gm_plan;_ylt=Au0aOkHS84zmfasZvU7Pf.Ss0NUE |
| 22:07.46 | mindjuju | sure whish i had more time to read up on this |
| 22:10.10 | SunSparc | Live or die, they need to do it on their own. |
| 22:10.55 | _psychic_ | hopefully die, since they're almost there anyways. |
| 22:11.33 | mindjuju | not arguing against ya, but just wondering how much of an impact that would have |
| 22:11.37 | mindjuju | immediately and long term |
| 22:11.54 | mindjuju | hard to say, methinks |
| 22:14.51 | *** part/#uphpu Utah_Dave (n=David@72-166-51-162.dia.static.qwest.net) |
| 22:29.25 | beandog | I hope they just plain die. |
| 22:29.38 | beandog | Businesses that dont get bailed out will find a way to reinvent themselves. |
| 22:29.45 | beandog | Why should big corps be any different (massive layoffs aside) |
| 22:30.00 | beandog | besides, youre basically just propping up the same idiots that put you in this mess. |
| 22:32.09 | mindjuju | valid points, and it's true, you can remove all kinds of organs from a body, and have it survive, my question is this: if the US were to be represented as a human body, what role would the auto industry play? appendix? heart? lungs? eyeball? |
| 22:32.45 | mgeary | dunno, but i've got dibs on the Medulla Oblongata |
| 22:32.52 | mindjuju | heh |
| 22:33.00 | beandog | armpit |
| 22:33.16 | mindjuju | don't get me wrong, i'm not for bailouts, and it makes me mad that it has come to this and even more so that it appears we are being taken advantage of |
| 22:33.25 | beandog | mindjuju, just think of all the innovation that would happen if we got off our dependency of cars |
| 22:33.27 | mindjuju | i'm just not sold that it's impact is tolerable |
| 22:33.40 | mindjuju | beandog, v true |
| 22:34.03 | beandog | what bothers me more, though |
| 22:34.11 | beandog | is who is getting saddled with all this debt |
| 22:34.30 | beandog | so, whats worse, a few hundred thousand people losing their jobs, or an entire nation going in debt? |
| 22:34.58 | mindjuju | assuming that those few hundred thousands of jobs get replaced instantly |
| 22:35.08 | beandog | no, not even assuming that |
| 22:35.13 | mindjuju | and those individuals in the auto industry are reskilled to apply |
| 22:35.20 | beandog | Im sure welfare would still cost less than the billions they want. |
| 22:36.10 | mindjuju | yeah, don't know the answer to that, prolly cheaper at first |
| 22:36.32 | beandog | I dunno, I just see the whole thing as an evolutionary kind of approach |
| 22:36.37 | beandog | if its gonna die, die |
| 22:37.04 | Jacob_Kerr | How's money generated in our economy? Where did the bailout money come from? |
| 22:37.16 | mindjuju | it come from the US Mint |
| 22:37.24 | mindjuju | it's not really backed by anything |
| 22:37.27 | Jacob_Kerr | Not the federal reserve.. |
| 22:37.29 | beandog | mindjuju, plus, its the whole "lets turn our backs on that whole free market philosophy when it collapses" approach that really bothers me. |
| 22:37.30 | mindjuju | and we don't produce much any more |
| 22:38.03 | Jacob_Kerr | Note: Federal Reserve = Private Entity.. |
| 22:38.17 | mindjuju | yes, i know |
| 22:38.25 | mindjuju | well you tell me then, where is it coming form? |
| 22:38.36 | mindjuju | beats the heck out of me |
| 22:38.47 | mindjuju | and I wish i had that script cause i'd run it on my accounts |
| 22:39.07 | Jacob_Kerr | LOL. |
| 22:39.21 | Jacob_Kerr | Money is only generate from debt in our economy. |
| 22:39.36 | mindjuju | which is currently being sold by the boatload to China |
| 22:40.09 | Jacob_Kerr | That's why there's the repeated depression right? |
| 22:40.56 | mindjuju | not sure i understand the question |
| 22:42.06 | Jacob_Kerr | Because the economy is dependant on dept a depression almost seems to be inevitable? |
| 22:42.22 | Jacob_Kerr | or some kind of bail out.. |
| 22:43.01 | Jacob_Kerr | sorr debt* |
| 22:43.07 | Jacob_Kerr | damn typos.. |
| 22:45.02 | Jacob_Kerr | Debt is a great way to print money that does not even exist since banks are allowed to loan more the 9% (even more now, that's from that start) of the money they actually have. |
| 22:46.49 | mindjuju | well, i wouldn't say that our economy is based on debt, i'd say that consumer credit debt does play a part (how much i don't know) but i would argue it isn't the whole |
| 22:47.52 | mindjuju | in your last statement about debt printing money, do you really mean to say "reinvestment of funds by banks" |
| 22:48.02 | Jacob_Kerr | Yeah that's true it's def. not the whole but it's becoming a bigger part of it and the more it relies on debt the worse it gets.. |
| 22:49.00 | Jacob_Kerr | Yeah they have all kinds of ways to turn the money they loan that they do not actually have into money. |

| 23:08.23 | SunSparc | is your content a straw? |
| 23:09.30 | mgeary | my content doesn't suck. My *app* sucks |
| 23:10.09 | mgeary | bah |
| 23:10.31 | mgeary | in little "Fun Size" packages |
| 23:10.38 | beandog | those are my favorite |
| 23:10.43 | mgeary | peanut M&Ms are alright, but plain ones are just bleh |
| 23:11.11 | mgeary | i got all the Halloween leftovers, and those and the plain chocolate Hershey's bars are all that's left. Ugh |
| 23:11.40 | mindjuju | i only like M&Ms with peanuts |
| 23:11.58 | SunSparc | mindjuju: what about M&M's with peanut butter? |
| 23:12.20 | mindjuju | never had them, r they tasty? |
| 23:12.35 | mindjuju | wait, thems resese pieces |
| 23:12.39 | SunSparc | Pretty much the same as Reese pices |
| 23:12.40 | mindjuju | so i guess i have |
| 23:12.42 | mgeary | ugh |
| 23:12.56 | mindjuju | resese pieces was alright, not fantabulous |
| 23:13.04 | mindjuju | ET like's em though, you know |

| 23:15.07 | beandog | yah |
| 23:15.11 | beandog | reeses pieces used to be good |
| 23:15.13 | beandog | now they just suck |
| 23:15.21 | SunSparc | I still like them. |
| 23:15.43 | beandog | Well, you are weird. |
| 23:15.50 | SunSparc | And I do not think that they have the ability to suck. They lack a mandible and an ability to form a vacuum. |
| 23:15.56 | mgeary | dataw0lf: that's cool, but it seems to me like it'd be very confusing to debug |
| 23:16.39 | dataw0lf | how? just alter your Accept header. |
| 23:16.41 | mgeary | i guess not if you were explicit about the Accepts header |
| 23:17.10 | mgeary | right |
| 23:24.39 | orsonj | I personally like the M&M ones better than the Reeses |
| 23:47.57 | beandog | is anyone else cranky about the price of candy bars going up |
| 23:48.11 | beandog | maybe Im just a bitter old man before my time |
| 23:49.03 | mindjuju | where i am, they went up on account of a fuel surcharge |
| 23:49.07 | mindjuju | they have yet to come down |
| 23:49.23 | mindjuju | snicker = .50 + .25 fuel |
| 23:49.26 | mindjuju | what a joke |
| 23:49.49 | beandog | seems like they are $1 at gas stations now |

| 23:53.41 | _psychic_ | meh |
| 23:53.50 | _psychic_ | I kinda feel like they addressed the popular talking points |
| 23:53.58 | _psychic_ | but I have yet to see any huge restructuring plans |
| 23:54.13 | _psychic_ | like green cars or union renegotiations or benefits changes, etc. |
| 23:54.43 | beandog | or killing off the GMC line |
| 23:54.57 | beandog | and bringing back the Delorean |
| 23:55.12 | _psychic_ | only if they take it back to the 50s too and start over |

| 23:55.27 | _psychic_ | I bet they do |

| 23:58.46 | Utah_Dave | why are we even telling the car companies what to build and what to do? |
| 23:58.55 | Utah_Dave | If they can't figure it out, they should go out of business |
| 23:59.05 | Utah_Dave | Let Honda buy up their parts in auction |
| 23:59.12 | Utah_Dave | all these bailouts are rediculous |
| 23:59.16 | beandog | Ill take Ford for 25c |
| 23:59.25 | Utah_Dave | let Citi go out of business |
| 23:59.41 | Utah_Dave | let the companies who aren't stupid buy their parts for cheap at auction and move on |
| 23:59.41 | beandog | Hmm, I just had a thought |
| 23:59.45 | beandog | Whose next ..... ? movie studios! |
| 23:59.48 | beandog | We need to buy them out. |
| 23:59.55 | beandog | Theyre losing money left and right |
