01:19 AM rue_mohr: I wonder if I can make the widgets go and get their own values
01:23 AM rue_mohr: I wonder if my container can add a callback to a child
01:23 AM rue_mohr: I thnk I can, the bulletinboard adds a selected callback
01:27 AM rue_bed: I can mess with the translations table
01:53 AM rue_bed: or I wonder if I use the expose event and have it redraw
01:53 AM rue_bed: it can ask for values then

07:35 AM VansFannel: Hi! I'm looking a ROS course but there are a lot and I want one that I can make a lot of exercises. Or maybe a book. Do you know any? Thanks.

08:54 AM rue_mohr: VansFannel,
08:54 AM rue_mohr: why ros?
09:09 AM VansFannel: Hi, rue_mohr
09:10 AM VansFannel: I don't know. Because there are a lot of jobs for ROS.
09:13 AM rue_mohr: huh
09:13 AM rue_mohr: where?
09:14 AM rue_mohr: at schools, teaching it?
09:15 AM VansFannel: At Aeolus Robotics: https://stackoverflow.com/jobs/168922/senior-robotics-developer-specialist-aeolus-robotics?so=i&pg=1&offset=4&q=remote+robotics
09:19 AM rue_mohr: heh, hmm
09:19 AM rue_mohr: I suppose even if its all a big puiblicity stunt, if you can make good money it doesn't matter
09:22 AM VansFannel: I don't understand: "if you can make good money it doesn't matter".
09:23 AM rue_mohr: Vision/Inventment company, they talk about awesome things, people pour millions of dollars into them, they never amount to anything or have any products, they die and another one comes up somewhere else
09:24 AM VansFannel: I want to learn ROS because I want to learn robotics, but I'm not sure if it is needed to learn ROS to learn robotics.
09:24 AM rue_mohr: you dont
09:24 AM rue_mohr: robotics is 3 things
09:24 AM deshipu: 4 things
09:25 AM rue_mohr: mechanics, electronics, and programming
09:25 AM rue_mohr: ros is like an arduino layer on the programming end, but lots of people have had issues getting it to do real things
09:26 AM rue_mohr: VansFannel, but lets get back to your goal
09:26 AM rue_mohr: is it the job, or robotics
09:27 AM rue_mohr: cause that job is a thing where you make software that looks like it can do things
09:27 AM rue_mohr: robotics is making things that can do things
09:28 AM VansFannel: Ok
09:28 AM VansFannel: I'm lost
09:29 AM rue_mohr: you want robotics, or the job
09:29 AM rue_mohr: casue all you need for the job is to be a good talker
09:31 AM VansFannel: I want robotics
09:31 AM rue_mohr: give it a try
09:31 AM rue_mohr: tell me how valuable ros is to the future of home automation
09:31 AM rue_mohr: ah, k
09:32 AM rue_mohr: well, find a car plant thats shutting down (there are lots of them) and work out what to do with the robots their liquidating
09:32 AM rue_mohr: OR
09:32 AM rue_mohr: find some kinda automation plant
09:33 AM rue_mohr: pop bottling, aircraft manufacture, car manufacture
09:33 AM rue_mohr: and apply as a automation technician
09:33 AM rue_mohr: or if you want to make and play with your own robots, hang out here and we can give you direction to play
09:34 AM VansFannel: Sorry, but I'm new in robotics and I don't understand anything about what you are talking about.
09:35 AM VansFannel: I can't talk about ROS because I'm new in robotics.
09:39 AM VansFannel: rue_mohr: thanks a lot for your time
09:40 AM veverak: rue_mohr: ROS is awesome and holy! you infidel! </sarcasm>
09:40 AM veverak: VansFannel: learning specific piece of software is never same as learning about the field itself
09:44 AM VansFannel: veverak: I have a subject in master's degree called "Autonomous Robotics" and I need to use a simulator to implement my planning algorithms". They offer me a simulated developed by theyself but I have decided to use ROS instead.
09:44 AM VansFannel: in my master's degree
09:48 AM veverak: wise choice, you can see multiple kinds of SW than
09:48 AM veverak: which is good
09:49 AM VansFannel: I want to use ROS with Gazebo. I have followed a tutorial and now I know how to connect ROS with Gazebo.
