| 01:32:05 | | Watusimoto has joined |
| 01:40:06 | Watusimoto | Attended the first day of FOSS4G conference here in Portland today! |
| 01:40:21 | Watusimoto | free open source software 4 geospatial |
| 02:07:10 | raptor | Ooooo |
| 02:07:21 | raptor | fun? |
| 02:08:18 | Watusimoto | quite |
| 02:08:32 | Watusimoto | I saw several people I met in Europe; that was fun |
| 02:09:08 | Watusimoto | basically its lots of people working on cool projects that they absolutely love, being really creative and building lots of cool stuff |
| 02:09:23 | Watusimoto | the excitement and energy is great |
| 02:10:32 | Watusimoto | the keynote this morning was given by one of the creators of the d3 library. He seems very smart. |
| 02:10:42 | Watusimoto | very smart. |
| 02:11:00 | raptor | what is the d3 library? |
| 02:11:06 | Watusimoto | http://d3js.org/ |
| 02:11:13 | Watusimoto | client side visualizations |
| 02:11:22 | raptor | ahh ok |
| 02:11:24 | Watusimoto | very performant |
| 02:11:25 | raptor | javascript |
| 02:11:28 | Watusimoto | very pretty |
| 02:11:54 | Watusimoto | yes... lots of what people are doing is web based, so that means lots of js.... sadly |
| 02:13:14 | Watusimoto | this is an interesting map |
| 02:13:15 | Watusimoto | http://www.jasondavies.com/maps/azimuth-distance/ |
| 02:13:17 | Watusimoto | the top one |
| 02:13:36 | Watusimoto | it's basically a plot of distance and angle |
| 02:13:46 | Watusimoto | so every horizontal line is an equal distance from london |
| 02:14:08 | Watusimoto | and every vertical line is an equal angle from london |
| 02:15:41 | raptor | neat! |
| 02:18:33 | Watusimoto | I really like this projection, visually |
| 02:18:34 | Watusimoto | http://www.jasondavies.com/maps/airocean/ |
| 02:18:56 | Watusimoto | I want to print it out and assemble it |
| 02:19:08 | raptor | an icosahedron! |
| 02:19:17 | Watusimoto | I think so |
| 02:19:21 | raptor | with additional bits.. |
| 02:19:59 | Watusimoto | I just love how you start in Australia and head down until you get to antarctica |
| 02:20:01 | raptor | hmmm.... inline SVG |
| 02:20:05 | raptor | haha |
| 02:20:59 | raptor | actually, i think i will print it out (with our new printer!) and assemble it with the 5 year old |
| 02:21:05 | raptor | tomorrow |
| 02:21:23 | raptor | then the almost-3 year can destroy it and sadness will reign! |
| 02:21:32 | raptor | 3 year old |
| 02:21:55 | Watusimoto | thank goodness they're so small! |
| 02:22:45 | raptor | yeah, so when you copy the source SVG into a text editor... it is over 3 million characters long |
| 02:25:38 | Watusimoto | ha |
| 02:26:13 | Watusimoto | the d3 guy showed us this demo: |
| 02:26:13 | Watusimoto | http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/1353700 |
| 02:26:29 | Watusimoto | what's interesting is that each of those gears is actually a dom element |
| 02:26:38 | Watusimoto | and it uses styles to do the animation |
| 02:26:44 | raptor | oh wow |
| 02:26:51 | raptor | pure CSS? |
| 02:27:14 | Watusimoto | you can do inspect element on one fo the gears and see what's going on |
| 02:28:37 | raptor | speaking of CSS hacks like this - I attempted to make our homepage do this: http://paulrhayes.com/experiments/parallax/#experiment |
| 02:28:59 | raptor | I got it to work with the small stars, but it couldn't handle the scrolling |
| 02:29:09 | raptor | so i reverted :) |
| 02:30:21 | Watusimoto | I think it would be rather distracting |
| 02:31:55 | raptor | i was experimenting with it being an easter egg or something |
| 02:32:21 | raptor | a quick stylesheet we could set for a week around christmas maybe |
| 02:34:28 | raptor | i need to head to bed - homework is done |
| 02:34:34 | raptor | good night! |
