- Hi talli!
- 01:53:49 [talli]
- hey
- 01:53:56 [talli]
- friggin' X
- 01:54:10 [talli]
- how the hell am i supposed to configure that thing?
- 01:54:38 [davb]
- I didn;t use X on my webserver. Maybe you can edit the XF86Config-4 file.
- 01:54:49 [talli]
- i need to download and burn that
- 01:54:56 [talli]
- it comes with X3.X
- 01:55:00 [davb]
- or type xf86config
- 01:55:03 [davb]
- ick. get 4
- 01:56:07 [davb]
- what kind of laptop do you have? Sometimes there is help for specific laptop models out there. especially IBM
- 01:58:23 [talli]
- i'm using a dell latitude C600
- 01:58:29 [talli]
- it has an ATI rage mobility card
- 02:00:03 [talli]
- which binary of X should i download?
- 02:00:32 [talli]
- or just use the debian X? do they have one to download from their site? an X package?
- 02:02:04 [talli]
- brb
- 02:03:48 [davb]
- Xfree86 3.3 is in stable. If you want a newer one, you need to go for testing or unstable.
- 02:10:45 [davb]
- In case anyone is wondering Filemaker is the worst software product I have ever used.

- 03:48:34 [KarlL]
- how to add a new site-wide administrator in '4: add a record to acs_permissions with object_id 0, grantee_id of the user and privilege of admin. anybody know a way to do it through the oacs ui?

- anyone here?
- 07:02:17 [andyn]
- if so i'm just wondering how tcl works for mathmatics?
- 07:02:46 [strainmaker]
- strainmaker has quit
- 07:19:06 [abbaJ]
- andyn: depends on how complicated the mathmatics are
- 07:19:34 [abbaJ]
- tcl doesn't interpret mathematical expressions the same way most languages do
- 07:19:42 [abbaJ]
- you have to wrap them ina call to expr
- 07:19:44 [abbaJ]
- like
- 07:19:50 [abbaJ]
- expr 7 + 5
- 07:20:09 [abbaJ]
- tcl was not really designed to do complicated mathematics
- 07:20:24 [andyn]
- how well would it do something like a riemann sum?
- 07:20:37 [abbaJ]
- it's strengths are it's simplicity, size, and the way it deals with variables
- 07:20:47 [abbaJ]
- andyn: what is that?
- 07:21:22 [andyn]
- find the area under a function by taking the area of lots of rectangles
- 07:22:31 [abbaJ]
- well
- 07:22:47 [abbaJ]
- tcl can probably handle
- 07:23:15 [andyn]
- i got the script allready written in maple
- 07:23:25 [andyn]
- but maple at the computer labs at school died
- 07:23:32 [abbaJ]
- just check the tcl docs and make sure you're not going to be dealing with numbers too big for the language
- 07:23:58 [abbaJ]
- perhaps it would best be put into a C function that you could call from tcl?
- 07:23:59 [abbaJ]
- or some other language for that matter
- 07:24:11 [andyn]
- i see
- 07:24:20 [abbaJ]
- tcl's focus really is strings
- 07:24:34 [andyn]
- but slow down just a bit, i don't really know any programming
- 07:24:48 [andyn]
- just modified my professors script for an assignment
- 07:24:50 [abbaJ]
- well
- 07:24:55 [abbaJ]
- tell me what you're trying to do?
- 07:25:05 [abbaJ]
- and how does it involve ACS?
- 07:25:16 [andyn]
- got this maple script written that i need to test to make sure it works
- 07:25:20 [andyn]
- but maple died
- 07:26:45 [abbaJ]
- what does that have to do with openacs or tcl?
- 07:27:13 [andyn]
- just wondering if i could get the riemann sum to somehow work on my web site
- 07:27:17 [andyn]
- you know impress the teacher
- 07:28:13 [andyn]
- anyhow i was just wondering how hard it would be to port the script to tcl and make it work on my site
- 07:28:14 [abbaJ]
- oh
- 07:28:18 [abbaJ]
- ok
- 07:28:23 [abbaJ]
- so your website runs openacs?
- 07:28:27 [andyn]
- yep
- 07:28:31 [abbaJ]
- ok
- 07:28:33 [abbaJ]
- now I understand
- 07:28:40 [abbaJ]
- well
- 07:28:45 [abbaJ]
- I don't know maple
- 07:28:52 [abbaJ]
- but maybe you could paste what you have.
- 07:29:01 [abbaJ]
- msg it if it's big
- 07:29:45 [andyn]
- f: = x -> x^2; # The function
- 07:29:45 [andyn]
- abbaJ: = 1; # Set the lower limit
- 07:29:45 [andyn]
- b: = 3; # Set the upper limit
- 07:29:45 [andyn]
- n: = 10; # Set the number of subrectangles
- 07:29:46 [andyn]
- deltaX:= (b-a)/n; #deltaX is the size of each subinterval
- 07:29:48 [andyn]
- shagster_: = 0; # Initialize the loop
- 07:29:54 [andyn]
- for r from 1 to n do
- 07:29:56 [andyn]
- x_r:= a+r*deltaX;
- 07:29:58 [andyn]
- s := s + f(x_r)*deltaX:
- 07:30:00 [andyn]
- end do:
- 07:30:02 [andyn]
- evalf (s);
- 07:30:35 [abbaJ]
- ahh
- 07:30:47 [abbaJ]
- so this is a mathematical representation of an interval right?
- 07:31:09 [andyn]
- well sorta
- 07:31:28 [abbaJ]
- something screwed up
- 07:31:33 [andyn]
- if you take the limit of that as n approches infinity you can get the integral
- 07:31:43 [abbaJ]
- what are the var names where abbaJ: and shagster_: are?
- 07:31:48 [abbaJ]
- right...it's an approximation
- 07:32:01 [andyn]
- a and s
- 07:32:48 [abbaJ]
- ok...you can do this programmatically in tcl, but you're gonna have to do things a litle differently
- 07:33:10 [abbaJ]
- b/c tcl's not going to understand what a function is x -> x^2
- 07:33:14 [abbaJ]
- is that the same as
- 07:33:19 [abbaJ]
- f() = x^2?
- 07:33:51 [andyn]
- f(x) = x^2
- 07:35:19 [abbaJ]
- k
- 07:35:21 [abbaJ]
- just a sec
- 07:40:29 [abbaJ]
- sigh
- 07:40:34 [abbaJ]
- I'm so rusty in my math
- 07:41:46 [abbaJ]
- if I'm not wrong, a function to do that in any programming language is going to be fairly complex b/c the language is not going to understand a function with out you programming that logic in as well
- 07:42:35 [andyn]
- could be, i just don't know, like i said i don't anything about programming
- 07:42:48 [andyn]
- just barely started my cmpt studies
- 07:43:37 [abbaJ]
- do you understand what I'm saying tho?
- 07:44:25 [abbaJ]
- let me see if I can do it
- 07:44:33 [andyn]
- yeah i see
- 07:46:27 [andyn]
- hey another guy just gave me a working one in c
- 07:47:04 [andyn]
- would it help to see that?
- 07:47:45 [andyn]
- and two: would it be easier to have tcl call that so that maybe it would show up on the web site from there somehow?
- 07:48:56 [abbaJ]
- I think I've got one in tcl done
- 07:48:57 [abbaJ]
- just a sec

- andyn: what should the answer be to that maple procedure?
- 08:03:34 [andyn]
- wich one
- 08:03:41 [abbaJ]
- the reimann sum one
- 08:03:44 [abbaJ]
- for x^2
- 08:03:51 [andyn]
- from what to what?
- 08:03:56 [andyn]
- 1 to 3 ?
- 08:03:56 [abbaJ]
- 1 to 3
- 08:03:58 [abbaJ]
- yes
- 08:04:01 [abbaJ]
- exactly what you pasted
- 08:04:09 [andyn]
- that would be right hand sums
- 08:04:19 [andyn]
- just a sec
- 08:04:36 [andyn]
- 9.48
- 08:04:40 [abbaJ]
- k
- 08:04:41 [andyn]
- i believe
- 08:05:14 [andyn]
- that what you got?
- 08:06:24 [andyn]
- yep definatley 9.48
- 08:09:58 [abbaJ]
- heh
- 08:09:59 [abbaJ]
- well
- 08:10:03 [abbaJ]
- like i said in the beginning
- 08:10:06 [abbaJ]
- tcl sucks for math
- 08:10:14 [abbaJ]
- it won't let me pass a floating point number
- 08:10:23 [andyn]
- what is a floating point number?
- 08:10:42 [abbaJ]
- as a power
- 08:10:47 [abbaJ]
- a number with a decimal
- 08:10:54 [abbaJ]
- so in other words
- 08:10:57 [abbaJ]
- x^2 works
- 08:11:04 [abbaJ]
- but x^2.0 throws an error
- 08:11:11 [abbaJ]
- what you can do
- 08:11:18 [abbaJ]
- is compile your friends C function
- 08:11:21 [abbaJ]
- and call it from tcl
- 08:11:28 [abbaJ]
- and return the results to your web page
- 08:11:37 [andyn]
- how hard is it to do that?
- 08:12:43 [abbaJ]
- I don't think it's hard
- 08:12:46 [abbaJ]
- oh, here, I got mine to work, but it said 18
- 08:12:51 [abbaJ]
- that's wrong i guess/ :)
- 08:13:05 [andyn]
- yep
- 08:13:45 [abbaJ]
- oh well
- 08:13:47 [abbaJ]
- here's what I have
- 08:13:52 [abbaJ]
- proc reimann { l_limit h_limit rects } {
- 08:13:52 [abbaJ]
- set deltaX [expr ($h_limit - $l_limit)/$rects]
- 08:13:52 [abbaJ]
- set s 0
- 08:13:52 [abbaJ]
-
- 08:13:52 [abbaJ]
- for { set r 1 } { $r < [expr $rects + 1] } {incr r } {
- 08:13:53 [abbaJ]
- set x_r [expr $l_limit + ($rects * $deltaX)]
- 08:13:55 [abbaJ]
- set s [expr $s + (($x_r * $x_r) * $deltaX)]
- 08:13:57 [abbaJ]
- }
- 08:13:59 [abbaJ]
- return $s
- 08:14:01 [abbaJ]
- }
- 08:14:08 [abbaJ]
- if you find my error you can use that
- 08:14:29 [abbaJ]
- just make sure you pass decimaled numbers to the proc or it will round
- 08:14:49 [abbaJ]
- reimann 1.00 3.00 10.00
- 08:14:51 [abbaJ]
- like that
- 08:15:24 [andyn]
- i think it may be beyond me to fix
- 08:15:35 [andyn]
- but it was a nobel effort
- 08:15:40 [abbaJ]
- hehe
- 08:15:44 [abbaJ]
- well, I was bored
- 08:15:52 [abbaJ]
- I don't see my error
- 08:15:54 [abbaJ]
- but I'm tired
- 08:16:06 [andyn]
- cool thanks for the help
- 08:16:10 [abbaJ]
- k
- 08:16:12 [abbaJ]
- np
- 08:16:39 [abbaJ]
- what does evalf do?
- 08:16:44 [abbaJ]
- just return the value of s?
- 08:17:43 [andyn]
- i think it returns the sum of all the boxes added together
- 08:17:55 [andyn]
- which is s
- 08:17:57 [andyn]
- so yeah
- 08:18:10 [abbaJ]
- ya...I don't know where I made the error
- 08:18:13 [abbaJ]
- I'm sure it's something small
- 08:20:47 [abbaJ]
- what's the eval order on these?
- 08:20:50 [abbaJ]
- x_r:= a+r*deltaX;
- 08:20:50 [abbaJ]
- <andyn> s := s + f(x_r)*deltaX:
- 08:21:01 [abbaJ]
- a + ( r * deltaX )
- 08:21:23 [abbaJ]
- s + ( f(x_r) * deltaX)
- 08:21:26 [abbaJ]
- right?
- 08:23:44 [andyn]
- x_r: = a+r*deltaX;
- 08:24:14 [andyn]
- s := s +f(x_r)*deltaX
- 08:24:37 [andyn]
- like that
- 09:07:16 [andyn]

- hi dave.
- 16:41:55 [ola]
- using CSS, is there a way to affect the font of text in a doc that doesn't have a P tag or any other tag in front?
- 16:42:18 [ola]
- I don't want to put the content in a table which is one solution...
- 16:42:43 [davb]
- <div> or <span>
- 16:42:51 [davb]
- I am not sure which is better.
- 16:43:01 [davb]
- <div class="yourclass"> content </div>
- 16:43:20 [ola]
- you mean wrap all pages in this?
- 16:43:23 [davb]
- If you have <a href's in the content, you need to class them seperately.
- 16:43:32 [ola]
- oh!
- 16:43:37 [davb]
- Oh you mean the WHOLE document.
- 16:43:43 [ola]
- yes
- 16:43:53 [davb]
- Do this: in an inline style or external style sheet:
- 16:44:19 [davb]
- BODY { font-face: fontanme } etc...
- 16:44:30 [davb]
- That applies the font setting to anything inside the BODY tag.
- 16:44:35 [ola]
- ahh! thanks!
- 16:44:55 [davb]
- np. I am trying to get all my page eventually to be CSS compliant.
- 16:45:37 [ola]
- It can be hard to support both NN and IE..I guess.
- 16:45:50 [ola]
- and the others.
- 16:46:33 [davb]
- Yes. IE, Mozilla, Opera and other modern browsers usually support CSS1 very well. Opera is not as forgiving as the others.
- 16:46:41 [davb]
- If makes you follow every rule.

- hmm... looks like it's "font-family" and not "font-face".
- 17:14:00 [ola]
- "body {font-family:*font-name*}" works on all content *but* TABLEs, it appears...
- 17:14:32 [ola]
- "body, td {font-family:*font-name*}" works with TABLEs exclusively!
- 17:14:50 [davb]
- yes you are correct.
- 17:14:56 [davb]
- Argh!
- 17:14:58 [ola]
- very strange.
- 17:15:01 [davb]
- That is crazy.
- 17:15:01 [ola]
- :-)
- 17:15:42 [davb]
- The styles are supposed to be cascading, hence the name. So if a style is applied to the top level tag, it should cascade to every tag inside.
- 17:15:57 [ola]
- I use NN, I might add.
- 17:16:06 [davb]
- Aha. 6 or 4?
- 17:16:06 [ola]
- yes. bad name.
- 17:16:14 [ola]
- 4
- 17:16:43 [davb]
- NN4 is not friendly to CSS. Very few tags work correctly or at all. CSS can actually crash NN4.

- You have to repeat the tags I guess.
- 17:19:32 [ola]
- que?
- 17:20:57 [davb]
- "Redundant selectors on <BODY> (add TD, TH, P)"
- 17:21:57 [ola]
- there is always the "one giant table" approach as a last resort...
- 17:22:19 [davb]
- Yeah, but that is icky.
- 17:22:31 [davb]
- And still could break on TDs.
- 17:22:56 [davb]
- You need to apply the same style to BODY, TD, TH, and P to make sure it doesn;t fall off.
- 17:24:20 [ola]
- redundant "selectors" on body doesn't work.
- 17:24:36 [davb]
- Really? darn.
- 17:24:46 [ola]
- "body, td {font-family:*font-name*}" fails on tags outside TABLE...
- 17:24:59 [davb]
- Do you mind checking my site? I am always breaking NN4.
- 17:25:11 [ola]
- heh.
- 17:25:30 [davb]
- Can you put each one seperately and try that? body {font-family } TD {font-family}...

- 17:27:19 [ola]
- separate rows don't work:-(
- 17:27:36 [davb]
- Weird.
- 17:28:23 [ola]
- you dont seem to have changed the fonts at thedesign, do you?
- 17:28:50 [ola]
- the linkcolors are changed though.

- I don't usually set fonts. I let you pick your own. I just use the default.
- 17:31:56 [davb]
- So its readable?
- 17:32:07 [ola]
- sure.
- 17:32:21 [ola]

- I set styles on the BODY tag, but none of my page's text has the specified style. Why not?
- 17:33:27 [davb]
- In most cases, this is because you have laid your page out using tables. For a variety of reasons, table implementations in current browsers will break the CSS inheritance mechanism, so setting styles on the BODY tag is not enough (even though it really should be). Modify the selector of your BODY rule to look like this:
- 17:33:27 [davb]
- BODY, TABLE, TD, TH
- 17:33:27 [davb]
- This will apply the styles directly to TABLE and table cell elements. Note that this will only sometimes work in Navigator, which has extra-special problems with tables and styles.
- 17:33:44 [davb]
- didn't come out right.
- 17:33:57 [davb]
- darn "only sometimes work in navigator"
- 17:35:31 [ola]
- lemme try...
- 17:38:21 [ola]
- body, table, td, th {font-family:verdana,helvetica,arial,sans-serif} refuse to work, sigh.
- 17:39:42 [davb]
- I can't believe it. it doesn't do anything at all?

- well, my header and footer and nav-section are in tables and they have the desired font, but not the "content" that is table-less.
- 17:44:46 [davb]
- Weird. I wonder what is happening. No <P>s?
- 17:45:31 [ola]
- exactly. someone wrote the ACS without <P>s. Grrrr...

- 17:45:47 [davb]
- Oh ok...
- 17:46:04 [davb]
- Still the body tags should take care of it. Did you close the <body>?
- 17:46:17 [davb]
- Sometimes I think ACS leaves them out.
- 17:48:33 [ola]
- yes it's closed. the BODY selector solves the problem with missing <P>s but fails in conjunction with <TD> or <TABLE>.
- 17:49:04 [davb]
- So as soon as you put in a table the other text stops working?
- 17:54:14 [ola]
- sorry, BODY selector in conjunction with TD *selector* fails. TD selector seems to override BODY selector so that only text in <TD> works.
- 17:54:59 [davb]
- Wow. Incredible. I don't know what else to say.
- 17:58:33 [ola]
- one can always put "widgets" like nav-box and header in separate tables and let content have it's own instead of one giant table. still, content may be big and include thumbnails...
- 17:59:21 [ola]
- I guess stylesheets are good in theory! :-)
- 18:01:14 [davb]
- Yeah. I think it is mostly a nn4 problem.
- 18:01:32 [davb]
- Do you mind if I ask why you use NN4?
- 18:02:41 [ola]
- not at all. I'm just lazy and it comes default with RH 7.1;-)
- 18:03:09 [davb]
- Aha. I was just wonderng. Mozilla 0.9.3 is pretty nice. At least as fast as NN and much more reliable.
- 18:04:31 [davb]
- But not as fast as Opera.
- 18:08:13 [ola]
- okay. I will try Mozilla 0.9.3 soon, then. Opera doesn't handle applets, does it?
- 18:08:48 [davb]
- Hmmmm... I think it has a Java version. Flash is supposed to work in the new version but not for me.
- 18:09:59 [davb]
- Supposedly it works with a Java Plugin 1.3.1
- 18:13:41 [ola]
