[14:31:22] <halfak>	 Hey hey science people. 
[15:20:54] <Ironholds>	 morning halfak :)
[15:21:05] <halfak>	 :)  
[15:21:14] <halfak>	 How's your Saturday morning?
[15:21:29] <Ironholds>	 eh. I've had better years.
[15:21:40] <Ironholds>	 But I spent thursday and friday implementing a cryptographic hashing package in R.
[15:21:48] <Ironholds>	 it connects up to openSSL and is entirely vectorised
[15:22:20] <Ironholds>	 cryptohash + random_element = SHA512 is still 500% faster than the fastest loop over digest with MD5. That's how fast it is.
[15:22:39] <Ironholds>	 mucho mucho fast cryptographic security and UUID generation!
[15:22:44] <halfak>	 I saw that.  nice work!
[15:23:11] <Ironholds>	 I'm in talks with Jeroen Ooms about integrating it with his openSSL library (which just exports the random number generator)
[15:23:30] <Ironholds>	 I'm pretty sure we could make a paper out of it, actually. I can make a good argument for this library being a really big asset in anonymisation work.
[15:23:54] <Ironholds>	 so I've started drafting an article for the Journal of Statistical Software and I'll amend it to refer to openssl if needed.
[15:25:18] <Ironholds>	 I've also started drafting one to poke at Taha's circadian results.
[15:25:23] <Ironholds>	 Because, good god. I need to get this done.
[15:27:06] <Ironholds>	 halfak, how's your weekend/extended vacation? :)
[15:27:12] <Ironholds>	 also, did you /know/ you had an Erdos Number of 4?
[15:27:26] <halfak>	 Yup :) 
[15:28:02] <Ironholds>	 and you said nothing to any of us when we published with you! Tch.
[15:28:04] <halfak>	 Weekend is good.  I'm working on some newcomer socialization theory-building with Proto-Dr. Mugar. 
[15:28:18] <Ironholds>	 proto-doctor?
[15:28:26] <halfak>	 Yeah.  AKA PhD Candidate
[15:28:29] <Ironholds>	 aha
[15:28:30] <halfak>	 :) 
[15:28:36] <Ironholds>	 Cr. Mugar
[15:28:37] <halfak>	 I like the term proto-doctor better. 
[15:28:41] <Ironholds>	 like being Dr. Mugar but less far along
[15:28:47] * Ironholds rimshots
[15:30:41] <halfak>	 ?
[15:31:54] <Ironholds>	 C is earlier in the alphabet than D
[15:32:43] * Ironholds yawns
[15:32:59] <Ironholds>	 okay. packaging cryptohash into WMUtils so there aren't multiple dependencies if cryptohash gets moved into the openssl library.
[15:33:29] <Ironholds>	 then...then I'll either write this circadian rhythms stuff, or alternately see what interesting C++ libraries there are on stat1002 we might need. One of the two.
[16:32:58] * halfak came back to have a lol @ Cr. Mugar
[16:40:20] <Ironholds>	 haha
[16:40:25] <Ironholds>	 what're you up to?
[21:52:09] <Ironholds>	 oh man, this is gonna be awesome
[21:52:11] * Ironholds cackles
