I'll ask him - hopefully he'll be able to commit for a little while at least 20:47 #ubuntu-us-nm: < kenneth_> yes, and thank you 20:47 #ubuntu-us-nm: < deinerson1> thanks :) 20:47 #ubuntu-us-nm: < deinerson1> I'll email you as soon as I hear from him about it 20:49 #ubuntu-us-nm: < kenneth_> ok 20:51 #ubuntu-us-nm: < kenneth_> My dad is printing out more of the Tux paper Models for the event 20:51 #ubuntu-us-nm: < deinerson1> I have a few printed here, too that i'll bring - not many, may 20 tops 20:52 #ubuntu-us-nm: < deinerson1> hi strobedream 20:53 #ubuntu-us-nm: < kenneth_> my dad's print 30 20:53 #ubuntu-us-nm: < kenneth_> printing 20:53 #ubuntu-us-nm: < deinerson1> that'd be 50 for the kids 20:54 #ubuntu-us-nm: < deinerson1> sorry, had to state the obvious there :) 20:55 #ubuntu-us-nm: < strobedream> ah yeah I tried to get the UNM ACM chapter going again and it was almost impossible to get any student support 20:55 #ubuntu-us-nm: < kenneth_> and go through that on the first day ;) 20:55 #ubuntu-us-nm: < deinerson1> probably last business: kenneth_ my email is deinerson1@gmail.com 20:56 #ubuntu-us-nm: < kenneth_> no problem 20:56 #ubuntu-us-nm: < deinerson1> ACM? 20:58 #ubuntu-us-nm: < strobedream> Association of computational machinery or something like that it has been a while. 20:58 #ubuntu-us-nm: < kenneth_> Association for Computing Machinery http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_for_Computing_Machinery 20:58 #ubuntu-us-nm: < strobedream> yeah 20:59 #ubuntu-us-nm: < deinerson1> ahh 21:00 #ubuntu-us-nm: < strobedream> Students didn't want to spend all day programming for class to go to a club that does the same thing. 21:00 #ubuntu-us-nm: < deinerson1> clearly not inspired programmers (kidding) 21:01 #ubuntu-us-nm: < strobedream> Lol or there is a demotivational factor. 21:02 #ubuntu-us-nm: < deinerson1> just conjecture, but when I started PC's were so new it was easy to be inspired...perhaps nowadays it tend's to be just a job to some 21:04 #ubuntu-us-nm: < kenneth_> sometimes you just want to shoot the computer ;) 21:04 #ubuntu-us-nm: < deinerson1> I have a friend learning javascript at CNM and while his teacher is not great (and not bad), he has been pretty excited about it overall 21:06 #ubuntu-us-nm: < deinerson1> he too get's confused, though. It seems they are not teaching the "axioms" of software dev like I learned 21:06 #ubuntu-us-nm: < strobedream> when you have had to program something that some prof dreamed up in the shower and decided that putting stupid restrictions on it would make it interesting for the 15th time you start to hate it. 21:06 #ubuntu-us-nm: < deinerson1> yep, agreed 21:06 #ubuntu-us-nm: < strobedream> like programming a linked list without structs... 21:07 #ubuntu-us-nm: < strobedream> or a genetic algo that actually simulates chromosome mixing... 21:07 #ubuntu-us-nm: < strobedream> or simulated paging... 21:09 #ubuntu-us-nm: < strobedream> and the whole time you have to use a library that some professor wrote at 3 am, keeps changing, and isn't close to any standard... 21:09 #ubuntu-us-nm: < deinerson1> hmm, extensive component dev that doesn't see product closure can get to one, let the screaming begin :) 21:10 #ubuntu-us-nm: < strobedream> yeah. 21:10 #ubuntu-us-nm: < strobedream> now watch one of my profs is in here and pissed. 21:14 #ubuntu-us-nm: < deinerson1> maybe this'll help him: http://smobley.home.mindspring.com/Axioms.htm 21:14 #ubuntu-us-nm: < deinerson1> I gotta go, good night all. See you Friday at Noon Kenneth_ 21:16 #ubuntu-us-nm: < kenneth_> night 21:16 #ubuntu-us-nm: < strobedream> night 21:17 -!- deinerson1 [~deinerson@c-76-18-65-160.hsd1.nm.comcast.net] has left #ubuntu-us-nm [] --- Log closed Tue Apr 27 21:17:43 2010
