documenting bad ideas isn't a waste of time unless it prevents documenting good ideas
- [00:48:44] <bewest>
then again, since time is a limited good, it's always better to document good ideas

- [00:54:33] <tantek>
right
- [00:54:58] <tantek>
and there is a need to nip bad ideas in the bud quickly so they don't propagate too much and waste even *more* people's time
- [00:55:33] <tantek>
and yeah, it is a zero sum time tradeoff between time spent on criticizing bad ideas and creating/promoting good ideas
- [00:58:14] <tantek>
of course the problem is that the world is able to generate far more bad ideas than good ones
- [00:58:26] <tantek>
so critiquing bad ideas can easily take up all your time
- [00:58:46] <tantek>
in some ways it is better to focus more energy on creating better ideas, and then letting the marketplace pick the winners

morning.
- [09:36:51] <kapowaz>
today was the first morning since I moved to London that I actually woke up feeling cold
- [09:37:16] <kapowaz>
which isn't good considering I discovered 3 days ago that our central heating is on the blink
- [09:38:53] <drewinthehead>
how long have you been in london, kapowaz?
- [09:43:34] <kapowaz>
I moved down at the start of September, but I'd been commuting since August
- [09:43:43] <kapowaz>
I was in Cambridge before that
- [09:44:30] <kapowaz>
I'm kind of thankful I wasn't working in London in July... August was bad enough as it was, but at least there was quite a lot of rain. Took some of the heat away.
- [09:44:59] <kapowaz>
July was spectacular in Cambridge though.
- [09:45:24] <kapowaz>
I'm not normally a summer person but I think I'd happily go back to that
- [09:46:07] <kapowaz>
cycling along the river towpath... sitting in the parks under the trees... walking down to the pub in flip-flops...
- [09:46:11] <kapowaz>
sigh
- [09:46:52] <kapowaz>
right, I know you guys are almost exclusively markup/programmer types, but does anybody here have decent experience using vector tools?
- [09:47:23] <kapowaz>
because I want to draw something using paths in photoshop, and I don't know how to do it properly without guesswork, basically
- [09:47:40] <McNulty>
Aaaah, Cambridge in the summer...
- [09:47:43] <kapowaz>
curved, stroked lines. like, for instance, the lines on a tube map
- [09:48:16] <kapowaz>
they have weight to them, but the curves are properly aligned - i.e. the angle of the inner curve is more acute than the one on the outer edge
- [09:48:24] <kapowaz>
I've no idea how to achieve this in photoshop
- [09:48:45] <kapowaz>
I can do anything that's basically a segment of a circle, but if I want more than one line coming off it, I'm stumped
- [09:51:46] <kapowaz>
I'm fairly certain if I had Illustrator here this would be a piece of piss.
- [09:51:58] <kapowaz>
like, I could just create a single path line and then add an outline stroke to it
- [09:52:09] <kapowaz>
I wish Photoshop supported path-based strokes
- [09:52:34] <kapowaz>
apart from file conversion, it's about the only thing I've ever used Illustrator for
- [09:55:57] <kapowaz>
it's a scary thought that this is all logged. somebody is going to run some analysis of the IRC logs someday and realise that I never shut up.
- [09:57:45] <McNulty>
It's ok, we all realise ;-)

just got home from hanging out with friends
- [10:05:45] <kapowaz>
so now you can listen to us Brits complain about the weather
- [10:06:37] <tantek>
it rained a bit today over here
- [10:09:34] <kapowaz>
oh, it's not raining. it's just cold.
- [10:09:40] <kapowaz>
and suddenly, quite unexpectedly so.
- [10:09:54] <kapowaz>
summer carried on well into september, and october was relatively mild.
- [10:10:03] <kapowaz>
November has arrived and with it the first frost.
- [10:13:16] <tantek>
we had the warmest October in years here in SF - it was wonderful while it lasted
- [10:13:27] <McNulty>
you're making me cry

I was going to ;-)
- [10:52:00] <kapowaz>
it's a telephony company.
- [10:52:14] <kapowaz>

from someone who is generally evaluating solutions - not looking specifically for an html or microformats method
- [14:07:15] <Frederic>
drewinthehead: hresume is simple
- [14:07:21] <McNulty>
It's fairly straightforward if you understand hCal, hCard, rel-tag
- [14:07:26] <drewinthehead>
lol :)
- [14:07:32] <McNulty>
That may be a big 'if'
- [14:07:37] <trovster>
An OOP Java programmer who can't do hCal..
- [14:08:08] <McNulty>
trovster - I dunno, I'm not sure which part of his OOP programming skillset you think should transfer over?
- [14:08:21] <drewinthehead>
so it's a tough one to implement from a starting point of zero mf experience
- [14:08:33] <McNulty>
It's 'hard' in the sense of 'a lot of stuff to read up on' rather than being conceptually difficult
- [14:08:38] <trovster>
If you understand prgramming to that degree, I don't think uF are difficult.
- [14:09:15] <trovster>
Anything is difficult if you're not willing to learn the basics.
- [14:09:51] <McNulty>
Surely it's fair to say writing an hResume is harder than doing the same in Word for most people?
- [14:09:56] <drewinthehead>
i think i'd say that if you're technically inclined (as programmers are) then applying microformats is a straightforward concept to learn
- [14:09:58] <McNulty>
The extra value of hResume isn't free.
- [14:10:44] <Frederic>
I've been presenting hresume to non developpers and developpers at BarCamp Paris 4 and no one found it difficult ro understand

- [14:36:32] <kapowaz>
why would you want to have your resume in that format anyway?
- [14:36:58] <kapowaz>
my experience is that the most appropriate format depends an awful lot on the target audience
- [14:37:11] <kapowaz>
for highly technical jobs where you're not going through an agency they usually want it in plain text
- [14:37:35] <McNulty>
kapowaz - what format? hResume? Wiki?
- [14:37:45] <kapowaz>
most agencies mandate Word (and boy did I have some nightmares with that this summer; I made mine in Pages and published it as a PDF)
- [14:37:48] <kapowaz>
either
- [14:38:01] <McNulty>
hResume is primarily for web-published CVs
- [14:38:08] <kapowaz>
aye
- [14:38:13] <McNulty>
i.e. someone's checking out your site...
- [14:38:14] <kapowaz>
my question is: why publish it on the web?
- [14:38:30] <McNulty>
Why publish CVs on the web? Erm, so people can find them.
- [14:38:36] <McNulty>

- [14:38:39] <kapowaz>
well that's one benefit
- [14:39:03] <kapowaz>
but by virtue of it being totally public there's a good chance you won't be as candid as you might with a privately-stored print CV
- [14:39:16] <McNulty>
hm, you think?
- [14:39:25] <kapowaz>
for instance, do you put your full contact details, address, phone number etc?
- [14:39:28] <McNulty>
Maybe I should slag off my previous employers on my CV more
- [14:39:34] <kapowaz>
contact details of referees?
- [14:39:48] <McNulty>
I have 'references available on request', actually ;-)
- [14:39:56] <McNulty>
I put some contact details for me on there, sure
- [14:39:57] <kapowaz>
I don't mean slagging off, I just think that it has to be a fair bit more audience-neutral if it's going to be 100% public
- [14:40:07] <McNulty>
jobs@ciaranmcnulty.com and a messaging service phone number.
- [14:40:19] <kapowaz>
I have always tailored my CV to each specific job I'm applying for, for instance
- [14:40:31] <McNulty>
well yes
- [14:40:36] <kapowaz>
you're a special breed of geek though :)
- [14:40:46] <McNulty>
Clearly hResume's primary use is publically-published CVs
- [14:40:51] <kapowaz>
not everyone has their own TLD and disposable mail aliases
- [14:40:56] <kapowaz>
aye
- [14:41:01] <pnhChris>
clearly? publically?
- [14:41:03] <pnhChris>
i dunno
- [14:41:04] * iand (n=iand@62.172.77.82) has joined #microformats
- [14:41:04] <McNulty>
LOTS of job sites have databases of CVs you can browse through, for instance.
- [14:41:14] <McNulty>
pnhChris - mmmaybe not publically
- [14:41:23] <McNulty>
I mean not necessarily stuff you'rs sending to a particular employer
- [14:41:25] <kapowaz>
I just know that if I were to publically publish my CV it'd be a watered down version of my full CV
- [14:41:30] <pnhChris>
sure
- [14:41:35] <pnhChris>
but controlled in some way
- [14:41:36] <McNulty>
If I was emailing my CV I'd PDF it first, for instance
- [14:41:43] <kapowaz>
and by having to maintain two different versions, you get problems
- [14:41:49] <kapowaz>
so I'd rather just maintain a single version
- [14:42:01] <kapowaz>
after all, when I'm not *looking* for a job, I'm unlikely to need it to be available
- [14:42:08] <kapowaz>
in fact the opposite is probably true
- [14:42:11] <McNulty>
kapowaz - that's an argument against publishing your CV on your website, rather than against hResume though right
- [14:42:17] <kapowaz>
I hate being bugged by agencies when I'm not looking for work
- [14:42:24] <pnhChris>
there's a big difference between posting on your home page and 100,000 hresume'd users on a job site that requires login (for example)
- [14:42:24] <kapowaz>
oh yes
- [14:42:30] <kapowaz>
I'm not saying anything against hResume
- [14:42:33] * briansuda (i=99@gateway/web/cgi-irc/brujula5.brujula.net/x-c9dd0d51f1ef1c7b) Quit ("CGI:IRC (Ping timeout)")
- [14:42:40] <kapowaz>
more the general principle of publishing a CV publically online
- [14:43:07] <kapowaz>
are there any sites where you can browse thousands of CVs in hResume format online?
- [14:43:23] <kapowaz>
given that virtually every large agency I've dealt with specifies Word format?
- [14:43:33] <kapowaz>
they couldn't even handle PDFs
- [14:43:58] <kapowaz>
either their own CV management software wouldn't accept non-.doc files, or they needed to be able to edit it to add their own stupid logo and remove my contact details
- [14:44:23] <McNulty>
kapowaz - I don't have my own TLD by the way :-)
- [14:44:51] <kapowaz>
TLD name then ;)
- [14:45:04] <McNulty>
I wish I had .mcnulty
- [14:45:06] <kapowaz>
ahh geeky pedantry. How I live for thee.
- [14:45:25] <kapowaz>
I'd be quite happy if .waz were ever created
- [14:45:29] <kapowaz>
actually
- [14:45:33] <kapowaz>
.az might already exist!
- [14:45:36] * kapowaz runs off
- [14:45:36] <pnhChris>
kapowaz: linkedin has some microformat support, i'd have to look and see about hresume
- [14:45:40] <McNulty>
.an is somewhere unaccessable
- [14:45:43] <McNulty>
I really want ciar.an
- [14:45:50] <kapowaz>
Azerbaijan!
- [14:46:13] <McNulty>
friend of mine got ala.sda.ir
- [14:46:13] * kapowaz will get kapow.az
- [14:46:26] <kapowaz>
oh man, why didn't I think of this earlier?
- [14:46:32] <kapowaz>
I'd certainly not bother with www then!
- [14:47:01] <McNulty>
you shouldn't anyhow...
- [14:48:09] <kapowaz>
bastards
- [14:48:15] <kapowaz>
you can't get it
- [14:48:19] <kapowaz>
only .something.az
- [14:48:22] <kapowaz>
e.g. com.az
- [14:49:05] <McNulty>
tsk
- [14:49:11] <McNulty>
like .uk then
- [14:49:14] * briansuda (i=99@gateway/web/cgi-irc/brujula5.brujula.net/session) has joined #microformats
- [14:49:18] <McNulty>
(unless you're one of the special people)
- [14:49:33] <kapowaz>
how annoying
- [14:50:11] <McNulty>
you know there are some .uk domains?
- [14:50:24] <McNulty>
they're ones that were established before the rules were in place
- [14:50:27] <kapowaz>
ah
- [14:50:31] <McNulty>
.british-library.uk
- [14:54:02] <kapowaz>
oh man
- [14:54:09] <kapowaz>
this is who administers the .az TLD: http://www.azcom.az
- [14:54:18] <kapowaz>
I'm going to see if they accept bribes
- [14:54:23] <McNulty>
I'm sure they will
- [14:54:49] <McNulty>
there is no .ty, damn
- [14:56:56] <kapowaz>
there's .tj. Would that do?
- [14:57:54] <McNulty>
McNultj?
- [14:57:57] <McNulty>
not really ;-)

- [15:03:13] <kapowaz>

- [15:03:20] <kapowaz>
I'm trying to see if I can register mmm.mm
- [15:03:30] <kapowaz>
oh! even better: h.mm
- [15:05:13] <kapowaz>
damn. .mm is the TLD for Burma, which is currently controlled by a militiary dictatorship which literally has no external internet access.
- [15:05:19] <kapowaz>
ha, the whole country is one big extranet
- [15:07:02] * bergie (n=bergie@kone1.tmvvision.finnetcom.net) Quit ()
- [15:09:07] <ajturner>
kapowaz - moreso that they would sell the tld
- [15:09:20] <ajturner>
see: Tuvalu and .tv
- [15:09:25] <ajturner>
they made *bank* on that one
- [15:09:54] <kapowaz>
aye
- [15:09:59] <kapowaz>
although .tv is a good one
- [15:11:10] <ajturner>
right, so instead of using themselves (they're a slowly disintegrating island in the South Pacific) they sold the domain names for large sums of money
- [15:11:21] <ajturner>
so a small, nothing, island of lime is rollin' in dough
- [15:11:22] <kapowaz>
makes sense
- [15:12:25] <kapowaz>
I'll get in contact with the military junta ruling Myamar and make them an offer :)
