00:39:19 [sinaptico]
thanks
00:40:47 [AaronSw]
Sorry, rbm -- my computer auto-reconnected
00:41:01 [rbm]
:)
00:41:31 [AaronSw]
Not sure why it happened so often...
00:41:34 [AaronSw]
Very odd.
00:42:40 [rbm]
* rbm heads out

01:16:25 [AaronSw]
:-)
01:16:26 [sbp]
sorry about what?
01:16:34 [AaronSw]
the previous topic, and the downed bot
01:16:39 [sbp]
Ah... I'll just read the logs
01:16:45 [sbp]
Where are they kept?
01:17:10 [AaronSw]
same place as swhack... http://blogspace.com/chatlogs/openacs/
01:18:24 [sbp]
"The requested URL was not found on this server."
01:18:36 [davb]
Hi aaron. Thanks for bringing loggy back.
01:18:51 [AaronSw]
Sorry for having it go down... daemontools has failed me!
01:19:15 [AaronSw]
sbp, http://blogspace.com/openacs/chatlogs/
01:19:31 [davb]
sometimes chump disappers too. Although he's been going good for awhile now.
01:19:35 [AaronSw]
loggy: it does this occasionally... i guess I should have keepalive watch for loggy too, but not quite sure hoe\
01:19:40 [AaronSw]
err how
01:20:49 [sbp]
Who on earth counted 10^7 reconnects?
01:21:00 [AaronSw]
rbm
01:21:04 [davb]
Anyway is anyone around? I saw somewhere that linux.com has live irc installfests. I thought it would be a good idea after OpenACS 4 is released.
01:21:21 [AaronSw]
* AaronSw counts reconnects...
01:23:06 [sbp]
Is a log of the reconnects publically available?
01:23:51 [davb]
loggy crashed coincidentally before most of the reconnects occured.
01:24:33 [sbp]
heh, I like the implied cynicism of "coincidentally"
01:24:41 [AaronSw]
* AaronSw has a private log of reconnects
01:24:54 [AaronSw]
sed -e 's/\r/\n/' should work, right?
01:24:58 [AaronSw]
* AaronSw is trying to grep it
01:25:06 [davb]
not at all. just amusing.
01:27:04 [AaronSw]
Any suggestions on how to fix this sed script?
01:27:06 [AaronSw]
anyone?
01:27:46 [rbm]
rbm has quit
01:28:03 [davb]
sorry not my area. I am totally ignorant in traditional unix sysadmining.
01:28:37 [rbm]
rbm has joined #openacs
01:35:11 [AaronSw]
AaronSw has changed the topic to: AaronSw is sorry. And it was only 202 reconnects!
01:35:34 [davb]
Anyone ever user Freeamp (music to code by)
01:35:50 [sbp]
Hmm... 10^7-202=?
01:36:02 [AaronSw]
Go Freeamp! (It supports MusicBrainz/RDF)
01:36:10 [AaronSw]
And Bitzi, whose website is built with ACS
01:36:19 [sbp]
What's MusicBrainz?
01:36:24 [sbp]
* sbp ducks
01:36:32 [AaronSw]
:-)
01:36:38 [davb]
That is where I heard of it. (really didn't know bitzi used ACS saw that today too)
01:37:02 [sbp]
[sound of me wondering what I'm doing in here...]
01:37:06 [sbp]
sbp has left #openacs
01:41:43 [davb]
aha figured it out!
01:41:59 [davb]
now I need to figure out the URLs for Live365 streams
01:43:50 [davb]
anyone have any advice on using ad_page_contract?
02:48:32 [davb]
ok plsql functions in xql files question...
02:49:26 [davb]
never mind...
02:54:35 [davb]
yeah! I can assign a category to an ETP item. Unfortunately, its an uncategorized item...
02:54:57 [davb]
oop now I know the error...
02:57:37 [davb]
cool. fixed that little booboo.
03:00:33 [davb]
Cool!
03:00:44 [davb]
Now all I have to do is allow deleting of categories.
03:04:53 [davb]

15:49:56 [AaronSw]
Hmm... not sure why it's doing this
15:50:14 [AaronSw]
Bug in Snak?
15:50:21 [AaronSw]
What's the reason it gives for me leaving?
15:50:30 [markd2]
connection reset by peer
15:50:41 [davb]
Read error to blah blah blah what markd2 said
15:51:00 [AaronSw]
Perhaps the IRC server doesn't like me?
15:51:16 [markd2]
I lose connection sometime if I'm spending time in virtual PC
15:51:39 [AaronSw]
Well, I'm not using anything like that...
15:51:46 [AaronSw]
Maybe I should quit out and come back in?

A: "Brian Andresen and I have joked for years that sending technical questions via email automatically upgrades your intelligence, so that you know the answer to your question as soon as you hit the "send" button. Apparently the effect is reversed when you forward faux virus warnings.
15:53:02 [chump]
commented item A
15:53:13 [markd2]
heh
15:53:40 [davb]
The same effect happens on the bboard, you debug for hours, finally post, then wham! you figure it out.
15:54:46 [markd2]
probably because you have to think of the problem in a different way to phrase the email
15:56:23 [davb]
interesting topic for a paper by someone with too much free time
15:56:56 [markd2]

17:22:38 [davb]
phew...
17:23:28 [davb]
Wow. I am totally disoriented without my email.
17:23:53 [davb]
also now I have ideas on how to proceed with my project which I cannot work on...
17:24:12 [markd2]
mail them to yourself
17:27:39 [davb]

From doc.weblogs.com
18:38:27 [davb]
Drink the math Just got this from a friend:
18:38:27 [davb]
If you bought $1000 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49. If you bought $1000 worth of Budweiser (the beer, not the stock) one year ago, drank all the beer, and traded in the cans for the nickel deposit, you would have $79.
