| moreati | okay | 00:21 |
| *** nick_fn1 has joined #europython | 00:22 | |
| moreati | nick_fn at least your clone kept you company | 00:23 |
| nick_fn | This is true | 00:23 |
| nick_fn1 | Eye | 00:23 |
| *** onyame has quit IRC | 00:26 | |
| Mez | nick_fn1: Hoegarden can be found at Bennett's hill | 00:27 |
| nick_fn | ah, thank you :-) | 00:27 |
| Mez | Or at least, it could last time I was in there | 00:28 |
| Aquilae | Oh darn. | 00:28 |
| nick_fn | is that a pub on the street called Bennett's Hill? | 00:28 |
| Aquilae | It took some time at the restaurant. | 00:28 |
| Mez | Sorry, its on bennett's hill, at the top. | 00:28 |
| Mez | It's just called "Bennetts" | 00:29 |
| nick_fn | Ok, great | 00:29 |
| nick_fn | Aquilae: where did you eat? | 00:29 |
| Aquilae | Nando's. My friend really liked their chicken. | 00:29 |
| Aquilae | So, what's up? | 00:30 |
| nick_fn | Cafe Soya was ok - actually, not bad. drink was good too, but Pontus was disappointed no beer | 00:30 |
| Aquilae | Did fiona go some place? | 00:30 |
| fiona | i didn't get any alerts to leave | 00:30 |
| Aquilae | Or ianto or tobixen? | 00:30 |
| dreimark | nando was okay for me | 00:31 |
| Aquilae | Ok, how far are you from the corner of Bridge and Broad st.? | 00:31 |
| Aquilae | Like, anyone and everyone willing to go somewhere. | 00:33 |
| Mez | nick_fn1: which cafe soya did you goto? the little one or the big one? | 00:33 |
| fiona | i feel a bit nackered actually | 00:34 |
| * dreimark is tired (arrived some hours ago) | 00:34 | |
| fiona | i might just curl up with a book | 00:34 |
| fiona | felt alright an hour ago | 00:34 |
| Aquilae | Noooo. | 00:34 |
| Mez | fiona: what book? | 00:34 |
| fiona | try again tomorrow | 00:34 |
| fiona | the dreaming void | 00:35 |
| fiona | by peter f hamilton | 00:35 |
| nick_fn | Mez: how can we tell, if we only went to one? :-) | 00:35 |
| fiona | one of my fave authors right now | 00:35 |
| nick_fn | It was in the Arcadian | 00:35 |
| Aquilae | Okay, anybody else? | 00:35 |
| Mez | nick_fn: if it was in the arcadian, and about 10 tables... it was the cafe | 00:35 |
| nick_fn | Mez: other one better? It wasn't bad, I'll go again - it was just unclear what was veganish; such as the spring rolls were no good. We had the 10 quid/3 course thing. | 00:36 |
| Mez | nick_fn: anything on the veggy menu is vegan. But you have to say that you want it vegan, so they dont use egg | 00:37 |
| Aquilae | Okay, so we're going to karaoke. Are there anybody at the Premier inn willing to join? | 00:37 |
| Aquilae | ...anyone? :D | 00:40 |
| Mez | Aquilae: where? | 00:40 |
| Aquilae | Little Japan. | 00:41 |
| Aquilae | I have now idea what kind of place it is, just spotted it yesterday night. | 00:42 |
| Aquilae | You coming? | 00:42 |
| Mez | Aquilae: edge of china town? | 00:43 |
| Aquilae | Pretty much. | 00:43 |
| Aquilae | Near Horse fair. | 00:43 |
| Mez | Aquilae: No offence meant, but its a VERY rough bar | 00:43 |
| Aquilae | Define "rough". | 00:43 |
| Mez | Aquilae: Owned and frequented by triads | 00:44 |
| Mez | Not very welcoming to new people | 00:44 |
| moreati | fiona: have you read his others? Greg Mendel, Confederation/Reality Dysfunction trilogy? | 00:44 |
| Aquilae | Okay. Well, we'll try the other one. | 00:44 |
| fiona | moreati: i have read he commonwealth trilogy and will move onto others after | 00:45 |
| fiona | probably nights dawn after= | 00:45 |
| Aquilae | Well, it seems my friend isn't going anywhere so probably I'll skip it as well. | 00:46 |
| moreati | Nights dawn is brilliant, Misspent Youth and Fallen(?) Dragon are missable | 00:47 |
| Aquilae | I don't feel like going somewhere alone for another night straight. | 00:47 |
| fiona | misspent youth is kinda the precursor to pandoras star/judas unchained | 00:47 |
| fiona | i adored judas unchained, i couldn't read it fast enough | 00:47 |
| moreati | yes, but it's not necessary to have read it, and it's not worth reading :) | 00:48 |
| fiona | indeed | 00:48 |
| fiona | i just really enjoy the commonwealth universe | 00:48 |
| fiona | and some of the characters you can fall in love with | 00:48 |
| moreati | Mendel books are fun, if comparitively simplistic | 00:49 |
| moreati | I've got the dreaming void to read next, couldn't get into it the first time | 00:50 |
| fiona | i'm sure i'll get through his back catalogue in time | 00:50 |
| fiona | it's weird i think "okay, next book you buy is not a peter f hamilton one" | 00:50 |
| fiona | and then it always is =/ | 00:50 |
| fiona | the man writes faster than i have time to read unfortunately | 00:51 |
| moreati | fiona: The Culture novels by Iain M Banks are a good alternative | 00:51 |
| zeth | What us is owned by triads? | 00:51 |
| zeth | I go to the chinese quarter all the time | 00:51 |
| zeth | I thought it was mostly owned by birmingham city council | 00:52 |
| moreati | Near Horse fair pub, I think | 00:52 |
| zeth | who I agree are akin to triads ;) | 00:52 |
| Mez | zeth: Karaoke bar opposite rileys | 00:52 |
| nick_fn | I'd like recommendations for audio books :-) Not sure what to pick next from audible | 00:52 |
| fiona | moreati: i read two of the culture novels, enjoyable. sometimes hard to follow, especially when the ships talk to each other. | 00:52 |
| fiona | moreati: a friend of mine is really into them | 00:52 |
| moreati | fiona: yes | 00:53 |
| Mez | zeth: to be fair, a lot of the stuff round there is owned by triads :D | 00:53 |
| * Mez fortunately has a few of them who are rather friendly towards him | 00:53 | |
| Mez | (from working in the casino in china town) | 00:56 |
| fiona | i have spent two days in birmingham | 00:56 |
| fiona | and all i can say is that it is full of casinos | 00:56 |
| fiona | that's all this place is, casinos and a pycon | 00:57 |
| Mez | there's only 7... | 00:57 |
| fiona | bam | 00:57 |
| Mez | :P | 00:57 |
| Aquilae | So no one's going anywhere? | 00:57 |
| zeth | I might go to the loo | 00:58 |
| Mez | I might goto bed | 00:58 |
| fiona | i might go to the loo in bed | 00:59 |
| Mez | fiona: kinky... you're into watersports then ? | 00:59 |

| zeth | yes, and our europython kids arenot going to be beaten up there | 01:03 |
| nick_fn | What is subside bar like? | 01:03 |
| zeth | because they will be the hardest one there | 01:03 |
| zeth | Snobs is nice | 01:03 |
| Mez | zeth: are you sure about that? | 01:03 |
| Mez | zeth: snobs SUCKS | 01:03 |
| zeth | Only been there twice | 01:03 |
| Mez | nick_fn: I'm a fan of Subside - I DJ there sometimes. | 01:03 |
| zeth | I am pretty old you know | 01:03 |
| nick_fn | Mez: it looked pretty good when I walked past yesterday night | 01:03 |
| Mez | Cheap beer, good music (ish) :D | 01:04 |
| zeth | I am a hare and hounds person in my old age | 01:04 |
| nick_fn | I was tempted to get up early and go | 01:04 |
| Mez | nick_fn: early? | 01:04 |
| zeth | Anyhow this is a challenge | 01:04 |
| nick_fn | Mez: open until 6, so I could get up at 5 and still make it ;-) | 01:04 |
| Mez | open till 6 on weekends. | 01:04 |
| zeth | one night this week, get Mez drunk and all go to snobs] | 01:04 |
| zeth | we go on the student night ;) | 01:05 |
| Mez | zeth: I will NOT go to snobs | 01:05 |
| Mez | It's just a hunting ground for paedophiles | 01:05 |
| zeth | well that makes it a good challenge ;) | 01:05 |
| zeth | hunting ground for paedophiles? | 01:05 |
| Mez | yes, it's mostly 14 year olds. | 01:06 |
| zeth | I thought that was broad street, drunk 40 year old women coming up to you | 01:06 |
| Mez | Last time I was in snobs, I was the oldest person in there. | 01:06 |
| Mez | I was 22 at the time# | 01:06 |
| zeth | well the cheesier the venue the better | 01:06 |
| zeth | lol | 01:06 |
| zeth | As I said, it was about 6 years ago I went | 01:07 |
| Mez | zeth: I'm not going to snobs... | 01:07 |

| zeth | most of them seem to go there for breakfast | 01:45 |
| zeth | yuck | 01:45 |
| ChrisW | ewww | 01:45 |
| * Mez is sore | 01:46 | |
| ChrisW | why? | 01:47 |
| Mez | Fucked up my shoulder somehow... | 01:47 |
| Mez | Don't know what I did, but it's agony | 01:47 |
| MrMeanie | night night | 01:47 |
| zeth | Mez: probably the spooning | 01:48 |
| * ChrisW looks slightly scared... | 01:48 | |
| zeth | Be afraid, be very afraid | 01:49 |
| Theuni1 | dude EP in britain has a huge issue | 01:49 |
| ChrisW | hey Christian, whassup? | 01:49 |
| Mez | Theuni1: the fact that Zeth's running it ? | 01:49 |
| Theuni1 | pubs are closed :/ | 01:49 |
| Mez | :P | 01:49 |
| Mez | Theuni1: not if you know where to go ;) | 01:49 |
| ChrisW | yeah, Sunday nights likely will be quiet | 01:50 |
| Theuni1 | isn't the point that i come to a place where i don't know? | 01:50 |
| Theuni1 | ChrisW: well. i wouldn't call it quiet. the clubs are overcrowded but way too loud | 01:50 |
| ChrisW | it's what we have locals for though :-P | 01:50 |
| Mez | oh, yeah, sunday nights.... | 01:50 |
| Mez | :( | 01:50 |
| ChrisW | on a Sunda ynight? | 01:50 |
| ChrisW | intersting... | 01:50 |
| * Mez knows where the 24 hour bars are :D | 01:50 | |
| ChrisW | has anyone done a google map for the conference area? | 01:51 |
| zeth | yes | 01:52 |
| zeth | check the website | 01:52 |
| ChrisW | I did | 01:52 |
| ChrisW | couldn't find it | 01:52 |
| matti | Heh | 01:52 |
| matti | Fail. | 01:53 |
| ChrisW | inded, the navigation on this year's website is pretty poor | 01:53 |
| zeth | http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=site%3Aeuropython.eu+map&btnG=Google+Search&meta=&aq=f&oq= | 01:53 |
| matti | We went to this Brasshouse and there was almost nobody in there. | 01:53 |
| *** MrMeanie has quit IRC | 01:53 | |
| zeth | which leads to | 01:54 |
| zeth | http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&om=1&source=embed&msa=0&msid=104670010414967360724.0004394ea19c66425808f&ll=52.477057,-1.906376&spn=0.014925,0.045447&z=15 | 01:54 |
| zeth | ChrisW: well we did our best | 01:54 |
| zeth | when you have around 5-10 people helping | 01:55 |
| zeth | and 450 people coming | 01:55 |
| zeth | it is quite enough to have a conference at all | 01:55 |
| zeth | rather low level of volunteers despite repeated requests for help, but that is another matter | 01:55 |
| matti | Bleh. | 01:56 |
| matti | zeth: Not entirely true ;] | 01:56 |
| ChrisW | indeed, but as I pointed out, there doesn't seem to be an easy way for people in help out hwen the yonly have limited time... | 01:56 |
| ChrisW | now, I wonder why hotel I booked into,, | 01:56 |
| zeth | Well ChrisW, you were in fact at EuroPython last year | 01:56 |
| zeth | when in the PLENARY sessions we asked for help | 01:56 |
| zeth | what more can we do | 01:57 |
| ChrisW | I don't even know what a plenary session is | 01:57 |
| zeth | a session where everyone is together | 01:57 |
| zeth | a session where there is nothing else on | 01:57 |
| ChrisW | asking for help and making is easy/possible for people to help are two very different things ;-) | 01:57 |
| matti | Heh. | 01:57 |
| zeth | well when you have 60 things to do each, you can't sit around creating red tape | 01:58 |
| matti | What is the point of this conversation? There will be always problems to fight and issues to resolve. | 01:58 |
| zeth | you just do it or don't | 01:58 |
| zeth | there are not some people who are busy and some people who are not | 01:58 |
| zeth | everyone is busy with their own lives | 01:58 |
| ChrisW | arg... I wish I'd been joking about which hotel I'd booked into.. | 01:59 |
| Mez | zeth: at least with only 10 volunteers, it's a saving on crew t shirts :D | 01:59 |
| zeth | lol | 01:59 |
| matti | ;] | 01:59 |
| Mez | zeth - PM | 01:59 |
| zeth | well Chris, last year, I got to EuroPython 2008, and all the local voluteers from EuroPython 2007 had disappared. So I thought was going to have just a holiday; but John and I ended up running around doing basic things to save the conference. | 02:00 |
| zeth | And the only help I got was some person moaning at me about my badge. | 02:00 |
| Mez | zeth: what was wrong with your badge? | 02:01 |
| zeth | After unexpected hours making sure everyone had a room, and that we had food, and PA; I left it in my hotel on the other side of town | 02:01 |
| matti | Mez: Wasn't pink enough ;] | 02:01 |
| zeth | so a person, not an organise, starting having a fit at me over my badge, so I had to go 1 hour trip in the rain to get my badge | 02:03 |
| zeth | and see even less talks | 02:03 |
| matti | What was wrong with it? | 02:04 |
| ChrisW | bet you'll have your badge on you this year though ;-) | 02:04 |
| ChrisW | the problem was random people in the hotel taking the europython food, and the only wya anyone could stop it wsa to check badges | 02:04 |
| ChrisW | this whole process was really stressing out one of the organisers, so to have another of the organisers saying "yes, but it's fine for me not to have a badge" seemed a little hypocritical ;-) | 02:05 |
| zeth | well the food was a diaster in general | 02:05 |
| * ChrisW shrugs, seemed fine to me | 02:05 | |
| zeth | well I was having the world's worst day | 02:06 |
| zeth | I should have just said that I did not want to organise then | 02:06 |
| ChrisW | 'cos that definitely would have solved the badge problem ;-) | 02:06 |
| zeth | John and I should have just spent out time going round Lithunia as planned and let the conference collapse | 02:07 |
| zeth | the hotel had not even been paid the deposit | 02:07 |
| zeth | so without our intervention, no one would have got in | 02:07 |
| zeth | This is a bad side effect of the two-year EuroPython system | 02:08 |
| zeth | if the people bid for it in 2006, hold it in 2007 | 02:08 |
| zeth | then disappear | 02:08 |
| zeth | everyone arrives in 2008 expecting a conference | 02:08 |
| zeth | Anyhow badges under the bridge | 02:09 |
| zeth | ;) | 02:09 |
| zeth | This year is going fantastically well | 02:09 |
| ChrisW | I assume I'll be able to pick mine up on arrival this afternoon? ;-) | 02:09 |
| zeth | we have double the number of delegates than Lithunia | 02:09 |
| zeth | yeah | 02:09 |
| zeth | so someone must have made it through the navigation ;) | 02:09 |
| zeth | ChrisW: you will get your badge when you arrive | 02:11 |
| zeth | At the moment, only crew and tutorial speakers wear badges | 02:12 |
| zeth | if we are ahead of ourselves tomorrow, we start giving the badges out more generally | 02:12 |
| ChrisW | :-) | 02:14 |
| ChrisW | my hotel hunt continues... | 02:14 |
| zeth | hotel hunt? | 02:15 |
| zeth | You don't have a hotel? | 02:15 |
| ChrisW | no, I've booked one but managed to lkoose the confirmation email | 02:15 |
| ChrisW | so I have no clue which one I'm going to :-( | 02:15 |
| Mez | ChrisW: did you book on the EP booking ? | 02:22 |
| ChrisW | nope | 02:23 |
| ChrisW | direct with the hotel | 02:23 |
| Mez | Ah.. lol - fail. | 02:23 |
| Mez | uberfail | 02:26 |

| tobixen | worse with a seminar I was to in Vilnius some years ago ... we were all staying at SAS Raddisson, we went to a club right at the other side of the square ... | 02:34 |
| *** nick_fn1 has quit IRC | 02:34 | |
| tobixen | and one Finnish guy got so drunk he didn't remember what hotel he was staying in, he spent 200 euros on taxi trip from hotel to hotel searching for the right one ;-) | 02:35 |
| tobixen | The year after, the same Finns lost their flight for the same seminar due to a delayed connection ... and ended up taking taxi from Frankfurt to Prague ... those Finns really like to take taxis it seems like ;-) | 02:35 |

| fiona | very concise and readable | 16:31 |
| fiona | getting a deprecation warning whenever i run it though | 16:31 |
| fiona | damnit people python 2.6 is out!!! | 16:32 |

| tobixen | ... but none of the potential co-sprinters are around | 16:37 |

| nick_fn | tobixen: there is a slight delay while everyone installs things... Happened every tutorial so far :-) | 16:43 |

| nick_fn | I'm hoping the distributed testing is good | 16:43 |
| nick_fn | MS-: yes, that's cool | 16:44 |
| nick_fn | Integrating/record with a VM would be interesting, to snapshot the whole machine at the test failure point so you can always go back and investigate that state of everything | 16:46 |

| Aquilae | Okay, rephrasing: I hope I'd have enough time to write the wrapping code for our test framework. :P | 18:06 |
| Aquilae | But it could be that I'm missing something obvious. Our tests have just been a bit of hassle recently. | 18:07 |

| fiona` | it's on broad street | 18:14 |
| TheSheep | awesome | 18:14 |
| fiona` | ;) | 18:14 |
| Aquilae | Briilliant. | 18:14 |
| TheSheep | not by the side of it? | 18:14 |
| fiona` | brillant | 18:14 |
| Aquilae | Drillant. | 18:15 |
| *** CalvinHartwell has quit IRC | 18:15 | |
| fiona` | no i do not know where it is, but broad street is a large stretch of road near the venue | 18:15 |
| fiona` | ask one of the organisers | 18:15 |
| tobixen | didn't find it so far on google ... | 18:16 |
| yole | tobixen: I think we passed by it yesterday | 18:16 |
| dobee | tobixen: also tried google could not find it, so if it is near here, we will find it :-) | 18:17 |
| yole | IIRC it's on the left side of Broad Street if you walk from the venue, not far from Bridge St | 18:17 |
| Aquilae | "The bar is right at the end of Broad Street, opposite the Brasshouse, Just past the canal bridge." from http://travel.ciao.co.uk/Australian_Bar__Review_5365121 | 18:21 |
| dobee | thx Aquilae n yole | 18:22 |

| holdenweb | fiona: Broad Street is just the other side of the canal if you are staying at the Premier Inn | 18:40 |
| MS- | Or, walk out of venue, turn left, walk through shopping arcade, and if you keep walking, straight on, that's broad street :-) | 18:40 |
| * holdenweb is missing air conditioning, and anticipates a week of group perspiration | 18:41 | |
| Aquilae | I love the smell of sweaty coders in the morning. | 18:42 |
| fiona` | holdenweb: i am not. but i know where broad street is anyway, i just can't explain to someone how to get there :) | 18:47 |
| fiona` | Aquilae: get some anti-persperant deoderant | 18:48 |
| fiona` | i have a large can of Sure in my hotel room | 18:48 |
| fiona` | might be a bit perfumey i dunno | 18:48 |
| holdenweb | fiona`: Just tell them to head out of the venue through the shopping area, continue under the road, and they should be able to cross the canal by continuing more or less straight ahead | 18:49 |
| Aquilae | fiona`: Well probably doesn't help the others, but thanks anyway. :> | 18:50 |
| fiona` | oh | 18:50 |
| fiona` | kay | 18:50 |
| holdenweb | Aquilae: When I plead with geeks to "use soap" I am *not* referring to the Simple Object Access Protocol | 18:51 |
| penmark | go left round the first corner outside the venue, passing mcdonald's, and walking through the arcade. cross the foot bridge and over the square, broad street is on your left side, and the bars are on the left side of broad street, after the square | 18:51 |
| fiona` | holdenweb: good, because soap is good but SOAP can fuck off | 18:52 |
| fiona` | been having to deal with that for the past few weeks | 18:52 |
| *** ambv has joined #europython | 18:52 | |
| fiona` | was writing a script for a large iinsurance company, and they insisted i used this horrible SOAP interface | 18:53 |
| fiona` | long story short, i ended up going there to fix their problems | 18:53 |
| fiona` | but i didn't enjoy writing the script | 18:53 |
| nick_fn | http://72.249.21.88/nonintersecting/?year=2006&monthnum=11&day=15&name=the-s-stands-for-simple&page= I love this story about SOAP | 18:54 |
| fiona` | SG: Well, ‘tunnel’ is such an ugly word. We prefer to say SOAP is transport agnostic. | 18:55 |
| fiona` | haha | 18:55 |
| fiona` | Dev: Whoa, back up. What was that word? Wizzdle? | 18:56 |
| fiona` | oh god too close to home | 18:56 |
| fiona` | thanks for this nick_fn | 18:57 |

| fiona` | ctrl-alt | 19:00 |
| fiona` | -del is the worst comic in the world | 19:00 |
| fiona` | i don't even need to click it to know that it's three characters with the same expression in each panel | 19:00 |
| fiona` | probably an awkward pause in one of the panels | 19:00 |
| Aquilae | I wouldn't say that but it has it has its ups and downs. | 19:01 |
| fiona` | very rarely anything related to video games | 19:01 |
| nick_fn | What's the name of the girl who wears the purple tshirt in c-a-d? | 19:01 |
| Aquilae | Lilah? | 19:01 |
| fiona` | she doesn't need a name, she is "girl" | 19:01 |
| fiona` | that is her only defining character trait | 19:01 |
| nick_fn | She looks exactly like my wife, so I read c-a-d for that reason. | 19:01 |
| Aquilae | When was the last time you checked it? | 19:01 |
| fiona` | she exists to stroke the authors ego | 19:01 |
| fiona` | Aquilae: i stopped looking at it a while ago, but i click on enough links of people linking to it | 19:02 |
| fiona` | also i get updated on it's latest terrible now and again | 19:02 |
| fiona` | now castle vidcons.. that's a video game comic | 19:02 |
| fiona` | or hilarity comics | 19:02 |
| ronny | bbl | 19:03 |
| nick_fn | People eating at this Broad Street bar? | 19:04 |
| fiona` | no one seems to know what's going on | 19:04 |
| fiona` | some people are going to this wellington bar | 19:04 |
| nick_fn | I will have a snack before hand, and take a snack also then. | 19:04 |
| fiona` | some people are going to australian | 19:04 |
| fiona` | no one has mentioned food | 19:04 |
| Aquilae | Whoah, déjà-vu. | 19:05 |
| fiona` | i wish someone would take the reigns tbh | 19:05 |
| nick_fn | fiona`: people have different preferences though? | 19:05 |
| Aquilae | I've heard that introduction to distributed testing in a dream. | 19:05 |
| MS- | The "official" plan (ie one on the schedule) is the Australian Bar on broad street. | 19:05 |
| nick_fn | Aquilae: lol | 19:05 |
| nick_fn | uh, but quietly | 19:05 |
| *** ambv_ has joined #europython | 19:06 | |
| *** ambv has quit IRC | 19:06 | |
| MS- | But that's at 7:30, so you could always go to both :) | 19:06 |
| fiona` | true, but i'm not sure if anyone will | 19:06 |
| fiona` | so do i go back to the hotel room, cool down a bit and go to the australian bar at 7:30 to potentially find no one there? | 19:06 |
| nick_fn | fiona`: I'll be going at least, and so will Pontus. Although I realise you don't know either of us. | 19:07 |
| fiona` | we should all wear our name tags, easy to find python people | 19:07 |
| TheSheep | and funny hats | 19:08 |
| TheSheep | and "rob me I'm a tourist" t-shirts | 19:08 |
| nick_fn | it's kind of easy to recognise us anyway... | 19:08 |
| nick_fn | we were playing that game outside yesterday | 19:09 |
| nick_fn | we are the people who look like the geeky people | 19:09 |
| tobixen | Hm ... maybe I should just go for ales for dinner today ... | 19:09 |
| nick_fn | [py.test] This really does sound great | 19:11 |
| fiona` | seriously, the multiple interpreters is frikkin sweet | 19:12 |
| fiona` | and finally, a use for my three sleeping processor cores?? | 19:12 |
| fiona` | hell yeah | 19:12 |
| TheSheep | and you can have a build farm too | 19:12 |
| Aquilae | Agreed, I'm so in love with this. | 19:13 |
| tobixen | fiona: what's that? Kamelia? PIPPER? | 19:13 |
| yole | that's py.test | 19:13 |
| tobixen | ah ... right | 19:13 |
| tobixen | parallellizing the tests? | 19:13 |
| fiona` | cha | 19:13 |
| tobixen | I think we already do that at work | 19:13 |
| tobixen | through our self-built framework ... | 19:14 |
| fiona` | oooOOOOOOOoooo | 19:14 |
| fiona` | ;) | 19:14 |
| fiona` | that seemed so easy it's criminal | 19:16 |
| TheSheep | and you can test on windows... | 19:16 |
| TheSheep | without having to use windows | 19:16 |
| fiona` | why? ;) | 19:16 |
| TheSheep | just set up an ssh server | 19:16 |
| TheSheep | because it hurts | 19:16 |
| yole | I don't think it would be exactly easy to set up this stuff on Win | 19:16 |
| fiona` | you can do that on windows? | 19:16 |
| TheSheep | you can set up an ssh server in cygwin on windows | 19:16 |
| nick_fn | cygwin includes sshd, and rsync, and all sorts | 19:16 |
| fiona` | ah-ha | 19:17 |
| yole | you can do this even without cygwin, but the config is more cumbersome | 19:17 |
| *** Theuni1 has joined #europython | 19:17 | |
| nick_fn | it feels a bit weird to ssh into the cmd shell, mind | 19:17 |
| TheSheep | but it's one-time effort | 19:17 |
| MS- | py.test's distribution model looks interesting. I may nab the approach it uses for our code :) | 19:17 |
| fiona` | the only experience of cygwin i have is getting my boyfriend set up with git | 19:17 |
| fiona` | seemed good enough | 19:18 |
| MS- | (for multiple hosts stuff) | 19:18 |
| Theuni1 | hmm | 19:18 |
| Theuni1 | does anybody see john pinner? | 19:18 |
| tobixen | haven't seen him at all so far | 19:18 |
| MS- | he should be in the code clinic IIRC | 19:18 |
| Theuni1 | A hotel reservation went wrong and I'd need to get in contact with him. If anybody has his mobile number that would be great too. | 19:18 |
| MS- | I saw him at lunch time | 19:18 |
| Theuni1 | I'm currently at my hotel trying to proxy some other guy, so I'd need a hand here. :) | 19:19 |
