04:46.50mheathHeh, I saved myself today
04:47.09mheathI'm filling out my application for a security clearance
04:47.18mheathI had put down a friend from work. He's Mexican
04:47.41mheathfound out today, he's here illegally. That wouldn't have looked good, I think - putting an illegal immigrant down as a reference on a security clearance application
04:51.07maquismheath: yeah...
04:51.30maquismheath: what level clearance are you applying for?
04:52.00findlaygirls are just too wierd
04:52.13mheathnot sure yet, its a generic application
04:52.25maquisfindlay: don't despair... what's going on?
04:52.31mheathIf I get the a Confidential (I think thats the first level) or Secret, it won't matter
04:52.51mheaththey don't check those references much, they really just do a thorough check of your police record for those ones
04:53.17findlaymaquis: does that mean you're going to counsel me now? (:
04:53.36mheathTop Secret is when it gets weird. FBI randomly showing up at your references houses, not really telling them why, but questioning them about you
04:53.48maquismheath: yeah
04:54.18mheathI still can't figure out this silly stuck-till-right-click bug with this synaptics touchpad! Its driving me mad
05:11.49levifindlay: Being married is great until you have kids. ;)
05:12.13leviI guess it's still pretty good, but far more frustrating.

05:12.57levifindlay: And I've found that baby girls make even less sense than grown ones.
05:13.38xbmodder_lappylevi, try teenage girls
05:13.53leviI will, in about 13 years.
05:14.03ScytheBlade1I can give you a head start
05:14.11ScytheBlade1I only have 6 little sisters, grades 9 through 2
05:14.28xbmodder_lappyScytheBlade1, I thought it was 8 through 1?
05:14.37maquisfindlay: what's the problem?
05:14.41ScytheBlade1xbmodder_lappy, nope
05:14.45leviNah, other people's teenage girls are easily ignored.
05:14.58ScytheBlade1I said give you a head start
05:14.58xbmodder_lappythough my success rate has grown slightly
05:15.03ScytheBlade1ie, loan/donate a few to you
05:15.17xbmodder_lappy5 numbers in the past 2 days
05:15.18xbmodder_lappy:-D
05:15.20xbmodder_lappyheh
05:15.31xbmodder_lappyScytheBlade1, the freshmen ;-)
05:19.50xbmodder_lappyi killed #utah again :-(
05:20.22Kuyaedzway to go
05:20.42ScytheBlade1Then answer this
05:20.50ScytheBlade1I need an app that'll let me convert FLAC <--> mp3
05:23.28maquisScytheBlade1: spr has an app that does that, i think
05:23.35maquisiirc, it's called oggify.pl
05:24.03maquisactually, i think it only goes FLAC --> mp3 and FLAC --> ogg, but not the other way around
05:24.06maquisi'm not certain though...
05:24.11maquisyou should ask him...
05:24.29ScytheBlade1Someone in #gentoo just gave me something called
05:24.30ScytheBlade1ecasound
05:24.58KuyaedzI use sound converter.  Looks like it does ogg, flac, wav & mp3.
05:25.15leviWhy would you want to turn mp3 into flac?
05:25.45leviThat's a waste of disk space.
05:26.01ScytheBlade1levi, I wouldn't, but the app in question that I want should have that option
05:26.16leviWhy?
05:26.36ScytheBlade1Because I don't like an app deciding what's right and what's wrong for me
05:26.38ScytheBlade1Even if I am wrong
05:27.18leviThat's a stupid app requirement, but whatever.
05:27.32ScytheBlade1Lemme rephrase
05:27.46ScytheBlade1I should be able to select "Convert format X into format Y"
05:27.54ScytheBlade1Where X and Y are arbitrary formats
05:29.01leviSo, find some command-line codecs and pipe them together.
05:29.26ScytheBlade1Or, I could be lazy
05:29.31ScytheBlade1And install this app that someone suggested
05:30.16leviWhatever floats your boat.
05:35.58ScytheBlade1Wow, that's REALLY nice
05:36.09ScytheBlade1`ecaconvert .mp3 file.flac file2.flac file3.flac`
05:36.13ScytheBlade1etc.
05:40.29ScytheBlade1Except that it outputs straight static, fun
05:52.42SpecialKwell if you wanted to turn mp3's into FLAC, you probably wouldn't notice the difference ;)
05:52.59nick125lol, true..
05:54.20nick125mp3->flac == no difference in quality
05:56.57KuyaedzI wonder how long it'd take to convert my 11K mp3 to ogg
06:13.37nick125Kuyaedz: quite a long time...do one song, take the time, then multiply it by 11K then multiply that by 1.25265
06:16.29Kuyaedzbasically you mean to say 'longer than its worth' :)
06:18.16nick125probably
06:18.44nick125then, when you get a iPod or some other device that doesn't read ogg files, you'll spend that time again to convert it back to MP3
06:19.24Kuyaedzyeah.. I already converted a bunch of them from wma.  as much as I like ogg mp3 is just more universal

15:25.51graphyxhi
15:31.31emcnabbhi
15:31.50jsmithhi
15:31.57graphyxhey how do I use perl and $F to print off a specific item on the read in file from command line?
15:37.44macnewbold$F?
15:41.40mrpullgraphyx:  can you clarify a bit?
15:42.45graphyxI got it taken care of.
15:42.47graphyxbut thanks.
15:42.51graphyxWhat I wanted was this:
15:43.02graphyxperl -lan -F: -e 'print $F[0]'
15:43.34mrpullwhat is the $F?  that doesn't ring a bell.
15:45.17mrpullfield separator?
15:46.45graphyxThat is the array autosplit which splits any line read in.
15:46.55graphyxAnd puts it into the @Farray.
15:47.19graphyxso the print $F[0] prints the first token on the line split by the ":" character.
15:47.40mrpullcool.  there's one more example of why I both love and hate Perl.
15:48.02mrpullthanks for the explanation
15:48.09graphyxsure./
15:52.26macnewboldsounds handy for reading stuff like /etc/passwd, but not much else...
15:52.50graphyxwell I was splitting off of a passwordlist to get only the passwords to use a base for brute force logins.
15:53.03graphyxethical hacking.
15:54.15graphyxbut you can change the split character to anything you want with the -F command
15:54.22graphyxso you could use it to split the line by anything.
15:55.16macnewboldso that could be handy for CSV or tab-delimited files
15:55.23graphyxindeed
15:55.28graphyxWhatever you delimit lines wiht.
15:56.08mrpullgothcha.  i generally will spell things out in the long form rather than use the one liners.  it just makes more sense in my simple mind.
15:57.08macnewboldit makes more sense in lots of minds... a lot of perl code is chmod a-r, if you know what I mean. But as long as you don't need to use it more than an 30 minutes after you wrote it, that's not a problem usually...
