13:10	pdurbin	ok, still kind of a mess but here's the javaee-vagrant.git i mentioned yesterday: https://github.com/pdurbin/javaee-vagrant
13:11	pdurbin	the idea is to build a javaee app and deploy it to a javaee app server (currently glassfish) within vagrant
13:13	pdurbin	people will need to adjust the Makefile to make it work, i'm sure. again, more cleanup needed
13:15	pdurbin	just dropped a link in #glassfish: http://www.evanchooly.com/logs/%23glassfish/2012-12-04

13:50	pdurbin	dropped a link in #vagrant http://irclogger.com/.vagrant/2012-12-04#1354629042
13:55	pdurbin	linked in ##java: http://www.evanchooly.com/logs/%23%23java/2012-12-04
13:59	pdurbin	yeah, people alive in ##java. helping me learn about this: make - What is the purpose of .PHONY in a makefile? - Stack Overflow - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2145590/what-is-the-purpose-of-phony-in-a-makefile

16:01	larsks	pdurbin: "info make", or https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Phony-Targets
16:03	pdurbin	yes, now i know. but thanks for putting the link here
16:03	pdurbin	and i prefer pinfo :)
16:05	pdurbin	i kind of want to see if i can do dev on the dvn ( http://thedata.org ) in vagrant. that's where i'm going with this
16:07	pdurbin	"This blogpost goes into detail how we leverage Vagrant in our day to day work. We use it with a team of 7 people to integrate a pretty complex application" -- http://www.jedi.be/blog/2011/03/28/using-vagrant-as-a-team/ ... is my inspiration

21:33	pdurbin	heh. was listening to a presentation by jdarcy from #gluster. "we've been doing asynchronous programming since before it was cool"
22:00	spilth	I'm admitting my ignorance here... but I have a text file of computer science terms that I _think_ I know or can make a guess at but am not entirely certain. Asynchronous is in there.
22:02	semiosis	asynchronous ~~ fire & forget
22:02	spilth	One day I will look them up and make sure I understand their definitions.
22:02	semiosis	maybe the call will succeed, maybe it will fail, maybe you'll never know
22:03	spilth	isn't asynchronous also "non-blocking"?
22:03	semiosis	right
22:03	semiosis	blocking would be if you waited until the call returned to find out for sure if it succeeded or failed
22:04	spilth	and then continued to execute the rest of your code
22:05	spilth	I'm assuming that caring about success/failure isn't necessarily tied to waiting for the process to complete
22:07	semiosis	callbacks
22:07	semiosis	usually go along with async operations
22:08	semiosis	if you want to know how things turned out, you can ask to be called back
22:08	semiosis	@lucky observer pattern
22:08	crimsonfubot	semiosis: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observer_pattern
22:12	spilth	Used that a bit when trying to make a desktop app using Java
22:16	spilth	And starting to look into Observers for managing cached pages in Rails. Apparently Observers/Sweepers are being pulled out of Rails into their own Gem for Rails 4.
