| 21:08 | | * Derakon brings the microscope software down to 65 global variables. |
| 21:10 | < Tarinaky> | The global namespace is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding global namespace. |
| 21:10 | <@Derakon> | Well, I say "global". |
| 21:10 | <@Derakon> | But this is Python. |
| 21:10 | <@Derakon> | Basically we have a module that now only exists to store variables. |
| 21:10 | <@Derakon> | (It used to do some other things, but they belonged in other modules, like lasers.py) |
| 21:11 | < Tarinaky> | I think that still counts as global. |
| 21:11 | <@Derakon> | Functionally, yes. |
| 21:11 | < Tarinaky> | Just an implementation detail. |
| 21:11 | <@Vornicus> | When you're away it's like a void. I try to avoid it. |
| 21:11 | <@Derakon> | You're shoving it into an undifferentiated namespace. |
| 21:11 | | * Derakon blinks at Vorn. |
| 21:12 | <@Vornicus> | Every time you're away, I put my lazors on stun! 'cause I've gotta stun you just to get my point through! |
| 21:12 | < Tarinaky> | I didn't get that one. |
| 21:12 | <@Derakon> | Ooookay... |
| 21:13 | <@Vornicus> | Tropical lazor beams / lazor beams of love! |
| 21:13 | <@Derakon> | Is this a Strongbad reference? |
| 21:13 | <@Derakon> | Or H*R, I suppose. |
| 21:13 | < Tarinaky> | I think Vorn is trying to replace himself with a perl script. |
| 21:13 | < Tarinaky> | It still needs some debugging. |
| 21:13 | <@Vornicus> | http://www.homestarrunner.com/puppetjam2.html |
| 21:13 | <@Vornicus> | No. |
| 21:13 | <@Derakon> | He should look into #xkcd's Bucket bot. It's remarkably lifelike. |
| 21:13 | <@Vornicus> | I suck at perl. |
| 21:14 | < Tarinaky> | That's probably the problem then. |
| 21:14 | <@Derakon> | ( http://www.xkcdb.com/ ) |
| 21:14 | <@Derakon> | (And please don't quote it here. We can all read the repo at our leisure) |
| 21:18 | | * Tarinaky just simulates the banned act. |
| 21:19 | <@Derakon> | Random bit of trivia: our lab is currently experimenting with the effects of 1-microsecond laser pulses on yeast cells. |
| 21:19 | <@Derakon> | (Basically trying to figure out if there's a difference in phototoxicity between multi-millisecond exposures and multi-microsecond exposures if the same amount of photons is delivered either way) |
| 21:20 | < Tarinaky> | So comparing high-intensity short-duration with low-intensity high-duration? |
| 21:20 | <@Derakon> | Right, but it's very, very short-duration. |
| 21:21 | <@Derakon> | Remember, a microsecond is a %Bmillionth%B of a second. |
| 21:21 | < Tarinaky> | Well, I meant compared to the other. |
| 21:21 | <@Derakon> | Er. millionth |
| 21:21 | < Tarinaky> | Comparing some constant multiple of small to some slightly smaller multiple of small :p |
| 21:22 | < Tarinaky> | Not quite as clear in brevity :p |

| 21:52 | | * Derakon is idly amused that he's having to come up with a formal time management document for his boss. |
| 21:52 | <@Derakon> | Since said boss keeps having trouble understanding why I'm not making progress on everything all the time. |
| 21:54 | < Alek> | http://www.unshelved.com/2006-11-29 |
| 22:37 | <@Vornicus> | I miss Shadowfax. |
| 22:38 | < EvilDarkLord> | Was it ever in #code? |
| 22:43 | < simon_> | Derakon, my former boss asked time management of me, so I provided it with a precision of 20 minutes. |
| 22:43 | <@Derakon> | My boss doesn't really want time management. He just doesn't seem to understand that my time is finite. |
| 22:43 | < simon_> | I spent a useless amount of time a day doing time management. :) |
| 22:43 | < EvilDarkLord> | Derakon: What do you do again? |
| 22:44 | <@Derakon> | I work for a research lab at the university of San Francisco. |
| 22:44 | <@Derakon> | We work on microscopes. |
| 22:45 | < EvilDarkLord> | That sounds cool. Is it? |
| 22:45 | <@Derakon> | It has its ups and downs. |
| 22:59 | < gnolam> | It looks like your boss is... |
| 22:59 | | * gnolam puts on his sunglasses. |
| 22:59 | < gnolam> | Micromanaging. |
| 22:59 | < gnolam> | YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH |
| 23:39 | < Alek> | I wish that meme would DIAF. |
| 23:43 | | * TheWatcher is so very glad his boss doesn't give a damn when, where, how, or what he does provided that the work gets done. |
| 23:44 | <@McMartin> | \o/ |
| 23:44 | <@Derakon> | Oh, my boss doesn't care about that so much either. He just wants me to work on everything all the time, instead of a few things in discrete time buckets. |
| 23:44 | <@McMartin> | (he says, while his laptop downloads the next test cases over VPN) |
| 23:44 | <@Derakon> | IOW I am having to visible step up my own time management because he has none himself. |
| 23:44 | <@TheWatcher> | McM: I'm not saying anything about the devwiki documentation open in opera |
| 23:44 | <@TheWatcher> | Dera: bleegh |
| 23:48 | | * Derakon eyes the 92-line text file he's made listing out his on-plate tasks, selecting ones for the next month, and breaking them down into sub-tasks. |
| 23:48 | <@Derakon> | You wouldn't think this would take so much text... |
| 23:48 | <@McMartin> | Managing is work, man~ |
| 23:49 | <@Derakon> | Oh yes. |
| 23:49 | <@McMartin> | You may have a boss, but you don't have a managere |
| 23:49 | <@Derakon> | Definitely. |
| 23:49 | <@Derakon> | When I mentioned that one of my tasks this week was to create schedules for the next month/3 months, he didn't want me to spend more than a half-day at the most on it. |
| 23:49 | <@Derakon> | (And I'm certain he thought that over-generous but didn't want to micromanage me on the hour level) |
