16:19 <nej> yeah i suppose gems are totally old school to you guys

17:06 <ELLIOTTCABLE> o7 all

17:06 <ELLIOTTCABLE> nej: lmao.

17:06 <ELLIOTTCABLE> anybody here used Huginn?

17:13 <nej> i like huginn's logo

17:14 <nej> oh, that looks cool!

17:21 <ELLIOTTCABLE> nej: yeah

17:21 <ELLIOTTCABLE> trying to replace IFTT, because it's slow, shitty, inflexible, etc.

17:23 <nej> IFTT is slow, really? o.o

17:23 <nej> I've never used it

17:24 <ELLIOTTCABLE> how have you *never used* IFTTT?

17:24 <ELLIOTTCABLE> is it less useful outside the Americas?

17:26 <nej> I'm not sure. I never use anything. :>

17:26 <nej> what the hell do you use it for? mainly? or the best example?

17:41 <ELLIOTTCABLE> mostly, it participates as a cog in other life practices

17:41 <ELLIOTTCABLE> a big chunk of it is turning my home-with-lots-of-connected-products into a pseudo-*smarthome*

17:41 <ELLIOTTCABLE> i.e. instead of just having cameras installed in my home; I want my cameras to turn on for the night at the same time as I turn off my bedroom light … or have them turn off when I get up in the morning and turn on my bedroom light.

17:42 <ELLIOTTCABLE> hence: (pseudo-)smarthome

17:42 <ELLIOTTCABLE> some more generic things:

17:42 <ELLIOTTCABLE> automatically saves any facebook photos *other* people take of me (i.e. tag me in) to my phone's Photos.app;

17:42 <ELLIOTTCABLE> when I post to Instagram, it adds a phone-reminder to go back later and hashtag/SEO the post,

17:43 <ELLIOTTCABLE> if my car has any warning lights or engine errors / OBD crap, it logs each incidence (with codes, description, etc) to a Google Doc,

17:43 <ELLIOTTCABLE> if anybody tweets or posts on Instagram right by my home (I live above a mildly popular mall, with really pretty views of Chicago), I get a notification (Creepy, right? :D)

17:45 <ELLIOTTCABLE> my screensaver is generated by a constantly-updating folder of [every Editor's Choice picture posted on 500px]

17:45 <ELLIOTTCABLE> when I save a bookmark to my Pinboard with the tag ‘whitepaper,’ if it's a .PDF link, then that PDF is archived to another folder in my Dropbox,

17:45 <ELLIOTTCABLE> I get a push notification with the current Bitcoin price in $USD every morning,

17:46 <ELLIOTTCABLE> I also get notifications for new stories by /u/airz23 on Reddit, because he's a motherfucking hilarious writer-savant

18:00 <ELLIOTTCABLE> ugh

18:00 <ELLIOTTCABLE> huginn has almost no ‘agents’ of interest to me

18:01 <ELLIOTTCABLE> it's waaaaaay behind IFTTT. sad.

18:01 <ELLIOTTCABLE> might have to write, and then maintain, freaking custom code, to have a smarthome

18:01 <ELLIOTTCABLE> how dumb is that

18:01 <ELLIOTTCABLE> lol'd so hard

18:01 <purr> lol

18:01 <ELLIOTTCABLE> ‘if it please god’

18:39 <danpalmer> ELLIOTTCABLE: yo

21:14 <nej> ELLIOTTCABLE: whoa, those’re some cool usage examples!

21:16 <ELLIOTTCABLE> danpalmer!

21:16 <ELLIOTTCABLE> <3

21:17 <danpalmer> hi

21:17 <purr> danpalmer: hi!

21:18 <danpalmer> So I'm pretty sure by now that all front-end development is crap.

21:18 <danpalmer> And even more sure that the only reason I actually think that is because I haven't been bothered to learn any.

23:57 <ELLIOTTCABLE> oh lord front-end
