14:15:35 <dseomn> procto: I'm taking a look at the wbrsdb code now
14:16:02 <dseomn> the db schema seems a bit under-indexed
14:16:53 <dseomn> e.g. wbrsdb_person has pri key on id, but no keys on first_name, last_name, primary_email, etc.
14:19:10 <procto> why does it need keys on those?
14:19:27 <dseomn> won't people need to search on them?
14:20:10 <dseomn> if I want to see info on a person, I'm not going to memorize their id number (most likely)
14:21:14 <dseomn> also, how can I log into the web interface to see it in action?
14:21:15 <procto> you can search on names
14:21:35 <dseomn> there are only 12 records now
14:21:52 <dseomn> won't there will be more when it's in production?
14:23:34 <procto> there will be
14:23:46 <procto> I'm trying to find the credentials...
14:27:07 <dseomn> procto: you're the only superuser in the db: username=mikek, password=sha1$...$....
14:27:29 <dseomn> I could just insert myself directly by copying your info
14:29:27 <procto> dseomn: added you
14:29:51 <dseomn> thanks
14:30:16 <dseomn> password changed
14:30:16 <procto> I forgot I had an account. Was trying to find the credentials for wbrsdb
14:30:21 <procto> sorry, wbrs
14:30:22 <procto> kk
14:30:44 <procto> worst case, I'd have run rainbow tables on the hash
14:30:56 <procto> or... we could have inserted another entry
14:31:06 <dseomn> or just modified the password hash of yours
14:31:23 <procto> yah
14:32:35 <dseomn> also, why is class_year a smallint instead of a year?
14:32:54 <dseomn> smallint is 3 bytes compared to year's 1 (IIRC)
14:33:57 <procto> there was a good reason that I don't remember. go with year :>
14:34:14 <procto> I'll compile the requirements left to implement later today
14:34:22 <dseomn> ok

15:35:16 *** stenix has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
17:55:24 <dseomn> I just made a few changes to http://cog.brandeis.edu/
17:56:28 <dseomn> I think it will really need more of an overhaul later, but that can wait till COG is up and running a bit more

22:51:41 <procto> hello Toba
22:51:45 <Toba> hello there mike
22:51:58 <dseomn> hi
22:52:08 <dseomn> Toba: were you at the meeting?
22:52:11 <Toba> nah
22:52:14 <Toba> I don't go to brandeis
22:52:14 <procto> no, he's at wpi
22:52:20 <Toba> I just know mike
22:52:23 <dseomn> ok
22:53:10 <procto> eric, meet dave. COG secretary and head of the servers TF
22:53:22 <procto> and vice versa
22:53:26 <dseomn> I'm secretary now?
22:53:27 <dseomn> ok
22:53:34 <Toba> I'm FSA vp and head of the servers TF (as if we have one)
22:53:37 <Toba> :D
22:53:49 <Toba> damn you meatspace, for being such a sparce graph.
22:54:23 <dseomn> procto: aren't officers supposed to be elected?
22:54:40 <procto> dseomn: "acting secretary" then
22:54:45 <Toba> uhoh, corruption within the cog
22:55:00 <procto> since that's what you've been doinc
22:55:18 <dseomn> max did part of it too
22:55:23 <procto> ture
22:55:25 <dseomn> we could be co-secretaries
22:55:25 <procto> true
22:55:37 <procto> that's fine with me
22:56:03 <dseomn> ok, vote at next meeting I guess
22:56:07 <procto> indeedy
22:56:29 <dseomn> procto: did you get the messages about giving tiac2009 root on xenon?
22:56:48 <procto> .tw Agenda note: vote for officers enxt meeting.
22:56:51 <branbot> Message posted to <https://twitter.com/brancog/statuses/784149090>.
22:57:04 <procto> Toba: I wrote twitter into the bot :>
22:57:19 <procto> dseomn: I did. Does she really need root?
22:57:32 <Toba> nice
22:57:37 <Toba> using twitter.py?
22:57:46 <dseomn> I don't think so, but alexb/gaynor do, and xenon isn't particularly secure anyway
22:57:59 <Toba> http://cons.truct.org/projects/pwt.html
22:58:06 <Toba> that's how I post to twitter
22:58:14 <dseomn> it's not like the secretary of the union is going to sabatoge the computer running the union site
22:58:17 <procto> Toba: yeah, I looked at your code and based it on that
22:58:21 <Toba> :D
22:58:43 * Toba <3 free software
22:58:47 <procto> dseomn: sure, just that I'd like to know how well she know unix and such before granting root
22:58:55 <dseomn> ok, fair enough
22:59:25 <dseomn> we really need to meet with her in person though to talk about what to do with that site
22:59:48 <dseomn> if there's no decisions, I'm ok with migrating it to vanadium as is, but that's less than ideal
22:59:50 <procto> yes
23:00:20 <procto> dseomn: are you available on wednesday any time after 1pm?
23:00:29 <dseomn> class 12-5
23:00:33 <dseomn> after that is good
23:00:42 <procto> too bad
23:00:44 <procto> hmm
23:01:01 <procto> I have ballroom 4:50-6:20
23:01:32 <procto> and I can't on thursday
23:03:30 <dseomn> where's a good place?
23:03:57 <dseomn> union office in shapiro cc?
23:04:02 <Toba> I don't tend to say things on freenode that I don't want people to see.
23:04:07 <Toba> so I'm perfectly okay with logs.
23:10:20 <dseomn> email sent
23:10:43 <dseomn> once it's definite, I'll send an announcement to cog-announce
23:11:08 <dseomn> speaking of which, procto: did you ever give me post access to that?
23:13:11 <Toba> thank god for vmware
23:13:26 <Toba> this minimal dev server accidentally got 140 x and gnome packages emerged on it
23:13:30 * Toba revert
23:14:04 <dseomn> how in the world did those get emerged accidentally without somebody noticing the load * 10
23:14:21 <Toba> nobody is on it yet
23:14:23 <Toba> I'm building it
23:14:31 <Toba> and I left for 2 days right after starting the run
23:14:39 <dseomn> ah, gotcha
23:16:31 <dseomn> procto: that just gave me an idea about the distcc stuff we talked about at the meeting
23:16:59 <dseomn> I doubt netsys will want to provide lots and lots of CPU for something like that when most of the time usage will be near 0
23:17:32 <dseomn> on the other hand, it might be easy to get callison to run distcc on the berry patch computers with nice=19
23:19:06 <dseomn> the patch computers mostly idle, and if distcc is heavily niced and restricted to 129.64.*, it shouldn't cause much trouble for him and the gurus
23:20:37 <dseomn> should I email the gurus and him about it?
23:20:45 <dseomn> * and/or
23:31:58 <dseomn> sent to chris, guru, and cog-discuss
23:39:46 *** Toba has parted #brancog ()
23:41:32 <procto> dseomn: saw the email
23:41:44 <procto> dseomn: and yes, you have cog-announce admin
23:44:07 <dseomn> I'm not listed as an owner or moderator and I can't see any of the special tabs in the web interface
23:44:15 <dseomn> did you remember to submit the changes?
23:44:50 <procto> hmmm
23:44:53 <procto> I'll look
