Hello
00:09:30 [GEM]
Aaron: You say somewhere that you don't have a good definition of a schema, I think
00:09:46 [GEM]
Hi Psychephylax
00:09:56 [Psychephylax]
hello
00:10:10 [AaronSw]
no, an ontology
00:10:13 [docwolf]

00:10:13 [AaronSw]

00:10:19 [docwolf]
thanks for the apache help
00:10:19 [GEM]
Have fun!
00:13:13 [Psychephylax]
So is Alpha released or what?
00:22:36 [GEM]
I have no idea
00:28:30 [Psychephylax]
that's not helpful :P
00:28:46 [GEM]
so sorry. it's the best I can do
00:30:07 [Psychephylax]
heh
00:30:15 [Psychephylax]
i blame you
00:39:44 [Psychephylax]
Does anyone know what 111/tcp sunrpc and 587/tcp submission might be?
00:40:45 [GEM]
in what context?
00:40:59 [Psychephylax]
I'm portscanning my box to make sure I don't have weird ports open
00:42:20 [GEM]
Well, in general, I figure if I don't know what a port does, it is a good candidate for blocking off
00:42:30 [Psychephylax]
yes I know
00:42:45 [Psychephylax]
* Psychephylax wanders off to read the RFC
00:43:01 [GEM]
sunrpc I think I remember being Sun's remote procedure call stuff, a definite candidate for dropping
00:44:08 [Psychephylax]
it's the portmapper
00:45:21 [Psychephylax]
once X is done compiling I'll reboot it

last pid: 89419; load averages: 8.56, 5.91, 3.81 up 0+01:00:50 21:06:30
01:11:41 [Psychephylax]
nice load averages :-D
01:19:42 [jim]
that pid seems a high number...
01:19:54 [Psychephylax]
heh
01:20:05 [Psychephylax]
it's looped to 33418 already
01:22:20 [jim]
does your *nix have 32-bit pids?
01:30:36 [Psychephylax]
not sure
01:30:40 [Psychephylax]
how do I find out? hehe
01:30:47 [Psychephylax]
79018
01:30:58 [Psychephylax]
i think it rolls over after 999999
01:31:33 [jim]
dunno, but that particular pid is > 65536 (which is the 16-bit-unsigned rollover point)
01:31:48 [Psychephylax]
it's FreeBSD 4.3

Does anyone remember a doc that showed how to import OpenACS into a local CVS repository?

maybe
15:26:00 [til]
did you mean that? they call it vendor import
15:27:16 [davb]
That is what I mean, but there was something on OpenACS i thought. I want to import OpenACS 4 into a local repository so I can work on my web site. So that looks like it. Thanks.
15:28:18 [til]
there shouldnt be a difference between OpenACS and ACS in that regard, not that i can think of
15:30:03 [davb]
This is tricky. I have my developer code so I can work on porting. But I also need another repository to work on a web site.
15:33:18 [til]
tricky indeed
15:35:31 [davb]
I need another computer.
15:41:12 [til]
why? no horse power for virtual hosting?

16:23:21 [Psychephylax]
ouch! ouch! He's got my arm!!! ahhhhh!
16:23:28 [rbm]
Your nick is really hard to spell :)
16:23:33 [Psychephylax]
yes I know
16:23:38 [Psychephylax]
It actually accomplishes many things
16:23:41 [Psychephylax]
like people copying me
16:23:53 [Psychephylax]
Arg
16:24:40 [Psychephylax]
Well, Psyche is soul in latin, and phylax is actually keeper and an old chest protector from Greece
16:24:48 [rbm]
Just put your nick under the ADPL, that way they'll always have to make their nick "includes from original Psychphylax" which should discourage them from doing it, since that'd make their nicks too big
16:25:09 [Psychephylax]
Hrmm? Where can I do that ADPL thing
16:25:34 [Psychephylax]
I'll do it! lol...I hate when people copy my name in Counter Strike (which almost never happens since it takes them forever ot type lol)
16:27:28 [Psychephylax]
i wanan like license it
16:28:46 [Psychephylax]
Roberto...Is OACS released in Alpha?
16:35:07 [Psychephylax]
Do any of you guys Moo?
16:38:48 [rbm]
Psychephylax: That's up to Don. He's the release manager for 4.x
16:39:48 [Psychephylax]
Ah
16:39:56 [Psychephylax]
Well, I thought Alpha was due out yesterday
16:42:12 [rbm]
s/griznog_h/anord/ :)
16:42:18 [rbm]
I think it was.
16:44:37 [Psychephylax]
hrmm
16:44:40 [Psychephylax]
k thx
16:45:18 [Psychephylax]
You guys think I can write a 13-15 page paper on different http servers out there? Like Apache
16:46:08 [rbm]
anyone good with HTML here/
16:46:12 [rbm]
s/\//?/
16:46:15 [Psychephylax]
To some extent
16:46:27 [Psychephylax]
What do you need to do?
16:46:35 [rbm]
What's a good way to have three columns in a page, but without putting everything under one huge table.
16:46:48 [rbm]
e.g.: http://www.brasileiro.net/openacs/oacs_redesign.gif
16:47:38 [Psychephylax]
Well, you could do it with CSS or frames but I'm not good with CSS and frames is not the best way to do it
16:47:58 [rbm]
frames are not an option
16:48:06 [Psychephylax]
CSS then :)
16:48:26 [rbm]
well, _thanks_ :)
16:48:28 [jmarsden]
Psychephylax: No we have not hit alpha... maybe later this weekend...
16:48:45 [Psychephylax]
:(
16:49:05 [jmarsden]
But you can test and report and fix bugs just as well out of CVS anyway...
16:49:36 [jmarsden]
I've just been sending Don some APM issues... :-)
16:51:40 [rbm]
when you install OACS4, does it load _all_ the packages under packages/ ?
16:51:45 [rbm]
I should know, but I don't.
16:53:24 [Psychephylax]
I don't think so
16:53:34 [Psychephylax]
I think you need to manually install the ones you want from there
16:53:58 [Psychephylax]
i know the boot strapper will run though
16:54:27 [davb]
rbm: hold on. I have a link to 3 column CSS layouts...
16:55:04 [jmarsden]
rbm, no it doesn't, kjust the ones marked as being part of the core.
16:55:30 [davb]
What do you mean my install rbm? If you checkout openacs4 it installs everything.
16:55:47 [jmarsden]
install != checkout davb
16:56:01 [Psychephylax]
lol
16:56:02 [davb]
if you checkout acs-core, it installs the core. Basically OpenACS installs every package it finds in the packages directory.
16:56:10 [davb]
jmarsden: right.
16:56:40 [rbm]
I'm not talking about CVS checkout. I'm talking about APM installation.
16:56:45 [jmarsden]
No, it does not. Try it. It install everything it finds there THAT is marked as being a core package.
16:56:55 [Psychephylax]
no fighting!!!
16:57:07 [davb]
I think that is fixed then. OK
16:57:08 [rbm]
davb: That link would be most useful to me (the CSS thingy)
16:57:16 [davb]
* davb is wrong again
16:57:38 [jmarsden]
I have automated the install process with scripts and documented them ready for other testers... and peeked inside the .info files...
16:57:57 [rbm]
rock on jmarsden!
16:58:03 [Psychephylax]
:D
16:58:09 [jmarsden]
rbm did you peek at my as yet unreleased doc on that stuff?
16:58:11 [Psychephylax]
* Psychephylax hides and cleans his room some more
16:58:17 [rbm]

PascalS: Before I had to sell my Visor to pay for school, I had no trouble making it work with Linux
18:25:36 [rbm]
You can either use the pilot tools or coldsync to synchronize.
18:25:37 [PascalS]
I know, I just need to find a good starting point
18:25:55 [rbm]
By now, it's probable that the gnome/kde PIM tools already support the visors
18:26:02 [PascalS]
cold sync says it'll only do USB on *BSD
18:26:36 [rbm]
I used coldsync in my beloved Linux box over USB with no trouble. In fact, I got it to work with USB before I got the pilot tools
18:26:45 [PascalS]
:)
18:26:58 [PascalS]
I've never used USB with linux before.
18:26:59 [rbm]
pilot tools has more features tho
