- davb, where do you work?
- 15:05:45 [talli]
- davb: when you have a moment, do you mind elaborating on your post to the openacs.musea feedback forum? my graphic designer doesn't quite understand what you mean
- 15:06:15 [davb]
- ok.
- 15:06:26 [talli]
- thanks
- 15:09:56 [davb]
- Talli: it looks OK in Mozilla.
- 15:11:04 [talli]
- did you buy opera?
- 15:13:52 [davb]
- Nope. I am cheap. The ads aren't that annoying. I am switching to Mozilla anyway. 0.9.5 rocks.
- 15:15:05 [davb]
- Although I feel bad because Opera is a good browser and they can use the money.
- 15:15:26 [talli]
- has mozilla gotten it's s**t together finally?
- 15:17:12 [davb]
- I think so. It is fast enough to use all the time. And it has optional tabbed windows that work correctly with popup windows. I haven't tried out the mail though. It is quite a bit better than 0.9.3.
- 15:17:32 [talli]
- cool. thanks. good to know.
- 15:17:50 [talli]
- i tried to use it on my windows box and it never even booted up (mozilla, that is)
- 15:17:55 [davb]
- Before on some long pages with a huge table it would take minutes to render. Now it starts drawing right away.
- 15:18:29 [davb]
- Anyway, make sure you test openacs.museatech.net on Netscape 4, there are alot of holdouts.
- 15:18:57 [talli]
- ok, thanks
- 15:19:03 [talli]
- 4.X, you mean?
- 15:20:20 [davb]
- yes.
- 15:20:43 [talli]
- yeah, i think we are testing it on that. at least logan, our ass kicking graphic designer and HTML monkey, does
- 15:20:49 [talli]
- she's pretty thorough
- 15:22:23 [davb]
- Cool. Yeah, I like all the designs I have seen from museatech.
- 15:23:31 [davb]
- Does she use windows or a Mac?
- 15:24:09 [talli]
- for design, she uses mac. but for testing she uses both.

- 15:50:16 [ola]
- I just moved my "server farm" to one of my closets...
- 15:50:28 [ola]
- (I thought that would be nicer than having it below the kitchen table)
- 15:52:08 [davb]
- heh
- 15:52:24 [davb]
- Make sure you have decent ventelation in there.
- 15:53:18 [davb]
- davb has changed the topic to: OpenACS | Free Web Toolkit | http://openacs.org
- 15:54:47 [ola]
- yeah. good point, dave.
- 15:56:54 [davb]
- Depends on what type of systems you have in there of course.
- 15:57:45 [davb]
- I keep mine in the garage.
- 16:04:39 [ola]
- a garage is probably a better ventilated place. the closet I have is about 20 square feet and I have two boxes, one monitor and an ups in there (plus the cable modem). I guess I'd better watch the temperature the coming hours..
- 16:06:43 [davb]
- Its probably fine. :)

- morning
- 16:07:34 [davb]
- Howdy.
- 16:07:36 [ola]
- hi Spork
- 16:08:05 [Spork]
- Hi ola Hola dave
- 16:08:18 [Spork]
- * Spork patiently waits for his domain to update
- 16:08:52 [davb]
- That is the main reason I have my sites on DSL. Static IP.
- 16:09:19 [Spork]
- Eh
- 16:09:20 [ola]
- yeah, static IP rules.
- 16:09:22 [Spork]
- it's no big deal
- 16:09:33 [Spork]
- my ip gets bumped once every 5-6 months
- 16:09:35 [davb]
- Does your cable company offer static IPs? Roadrunner doesn;t until you get to the $300/month business pacakge. Which is comparable to 1.1mb SDSL with 8 static ips.
- 16:09:35 [Spork]
- I can live with that
- 16:09:49 [Spork]
- No it doesn't, even with business cable
- 16:09:57 [Spork]
- Maybe soon though
- 16:10:01 [davb]
- That sucks.
- 16:10:21 [davb]
- oh well.
- 16:10:23 [Spork]
- Eh
- 16:10:27 [Spork]
- I won't cry about it

- howdy!
- 16:11:09 [Spork]
- you still have that ip address I pasted in this morning?
- 16:11:19 [davb]
- I don't remember seeing one...
- 16:11:21 [Spork]
- maybe in the history of the browser
- 16:11:33 [Spork]
- Sure you do, this morning when I pasted it in
- 16:11:40 [Spork]
- Bah
- 16:11:44 [Spork]
- where's the log
- 16:12:01 [davb]
- Yeah.
- 16:12:03 [davb]
- I found it.
- 16:12:27 [davb]
- the 1300k/s one?
- 16:12:59 [Spork]
- yeah
- 16:13:02 [Spork]
- no
- 16:13:05 [Spork]
- the other one
- 16:13:09 [Spork]
- 24.xxxxx
- 16:13:28 [Spork]
- loggy wasn't here :(
- 16:13:44 [Spork]
- Dave, look in the history for "neverhere" or 24.x
- 16:14:10 [davb]
- I don't see it.
- 16:14:27 [Spork]
- 24.187 maybe
- 16:14:40 [davb]
- Nope. Sure you sent it?
- 16:14:44 [Spork]
- yes!
- 16:14:49 [davb]
- today?
- 16:14:51 [Spork]
- It was before the screen shot
- 16:14:53 [Spork]
- yes today
- 16:14:55 [davb]
- hmmm
- 16:15:05 [Spork]
- I asked you if this worked and pasted in www.neverhere.com
- 16:15:09 [Spork]
- then you said "nope"
- 16:15:14 [Spork]
- Then you asked "Did your ip change"
- 16:15:17 [Spork]
- I said "maybe"
- 16:15:21 [Spork]
- I looked it up and pasted in the ip
- 16:15:34 [Spork]
- * Spork wonders what dave has been drinking of recent times
- 16:16:14 [davb]

- hi dwm
- 17:16:50 [dwm]
- just tooling around with the alpha release
- 17:17:14 [dwm]
- i get an error when I try to finalize a simple workflow
- 17:17:50 [dwm]
- Can't execute graphviz binary at /usr/local/bin/dot

- 17:19:35 [vinod]
- hi dwm!
- 17:19:47 [vinod]
- we need to document that better (I think DanW is working on that)
- 17:20:01 [vinod]
- you need a piece of software called graphviz to draw the workflow maps
- 17:20:05 [vinod]
- it's available here:
- 17:20:15 [vinod]
- http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz/download.html
- 17:20:16 [chump]
- C: http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz/download.html from vinod
- 17:21:01 [vinod]
- i think DanW is working on making that an install-time parameter, so if you don't have it installed, it won't bomb out

- that's me
- 17:24:44 [dwm]
- if I can help with that, I would like to.
- 17:25:00 [dwm]
- I just don't have much authoritative knowledge of the OACS
- 17:25:03 [vinod]
- cool! The more help the better
- 17:25:23 [vinod]
- that's ok - i didn't either til i started using it :-)
- 17:26:01 [dwm]
- i think we should convert that doc to the alpha - from -scratch doc
- 17:26:11 [vinod]
- part of the problem with my guide was that i made it for *me*, so i assumed people had pg installed and were using CVS etc
- 17:26:20 [vinod]
- dwm: good idea
- 17:26:36 [dwm]
- is there anyone leading the documentation efforts
- 17:26:37 [dwm]
- ?
- 17:26:53 [dwm]
- roberto?
- 17:26:57 [vinod]
- yup!
- 17:27:15 [vinod]
- he's in the process of putting together a documentation roadmap
- 17:27:28 [dwm]
- can we peak?
- 17:27:35 [talli]
- and we need help designing the doc page on the new openacs.org
- 17:28:05 [vinod]
- dwm: i haven't seen it yet, but i hear it's coming soon
- 17:28:27 [dwm]
- talli - I'd be will to participate with that. I have the drive to do the leg work, but I will need some oversight to get it right.
- 17:29:22 [dwm]
- I mean, can we peek at roberto's roadmap?
- 17:29:42 [vinod]
- dwm: that's what i mean - i haven't seen the roadmap yet
- 17:30:14 [dwm]
- oh, i didn't see the reply
- 17:30:32 [dwm]
- this bitchx client is very loud...
- 17:31:20 [vinod]
- :-) as soon as i hear from rbm about the roadmap, i'll get in touch with you again.
- 17:32:58 [dwm]
- great. in the meanwhile, i think it would be worth it to edit in some ways to confirm the validity of each step in the doc.
- 17:34:17 [vinod]
- sounds good
- 17:34:17 [dwm]
- first time installs are always convoluted, including lots of back-ups and redos, so it's good to be able to confirm that the state is dandy before you proceed
- 17:34:59 [vinod]
- agreed - that would definitely make it more useful
- 17:36:08 [dwm]
- I think that's a matter of suggesting 'make tests' (assuming that's available) and then describing what aolserver should print out in the foreground.
- 17:43:59 [dwm]
- talli - I'd like some more information on hosting by Musea -- would it be possible to test 4.x on what you typically provide?

- hi hazmat
- 18:29:35 [talli]
- hey kapil
- 18:29:41 [hazmat]
- hi guys
- 18:29:48 [dwm]
- hello
- 18:30:14 [hazmat]
- talli: i responded to your rfc on the bboard. did you have any additional questions
- 18:30:15 [talli]
- thanks for that webmail note kapil
- 18:30:22 [hazmat]
- np
- 18:30:42 [talli]
- lemme check, but i think that was more or less the answer. i just remembered you mentioning it the other day adn wanted to get more info from you
- 18:31:40 [hazmat]
- adn?
- 18:32:58 [talli]
- i think everything i would have wanted to know is there. i'll wait till others respond.
- 18:33:18 [talli]
- one could not use the ACS templating with python?
- 18:34:11 [hazmat]
- talli: i don't think so, its theoretically possible but acs templating is a nightmare of upvars to untangle, i know i don't feel like figuring it out:)
- 18:34:45 [talli]
- so what might you suggest?
- 18:37:41 [hazmat]
- talli: hmm.. i've been thinking about that, i know that the ZPL (zope public license) is supposed to become GPL compatible in a few months, i've looked at some of the templating systems mentioned on the webware.sf.net webpage, i need to investigate them and their licenses a little more.
- 18:38:29 [hazmat]
- hazmat: most of the webware users seem pretty happy with http://www.cheetahtemplate.org/
- 18:40:20 [talli]
- i'm not too enthusiastic about integrating zope templates, at least DTML, with ATP
- 18:40:54 [talli]
- if ATP is complicated, then it wouldn't make too much sense to try and mix the two, particularly since DTML is a bit odd (at first at least)
- 18:41:21 [talli]
- i guess they were planning on deprecating DTML, though, right?
- 18:42:25 [hazmat]
- i wouldn't mix dtml and atp, i would set variables in a tcl namespace and than call the acs templating system
- 18:43:05 [talli]
- so where would zope come in?
- 18:43:16 [jerryasher]

- hi jerry
- 18:43:34 [jerryasher]
- Hi Dave,
- 18:43:38 [nkd]
- hi jerry
- 18:43:43 [hazmat]
- dtml isn't really deprecated, but most people are transitioning to ZPT since offers impressive functionality (in terms of separating content/logic) and colloboration with designers, but dtml won't be going away for a long time
- 18:44:38 [hazmat]
- talli: zope doesn't come in, it was an experiement to see if i could, however the zodb (the object store) might be useful for. in terms of webmail none of that is needed other than a templating system. dtml and zpt can be used apart from zope
- 18:45:35 [hazmat]
- talli: zodb useful for other things that don't nesc. mesh well with a relational system or for rapid prototyping...
- 18:46:30 [talli]
- i know an oodb is cool for some things, like CMS
- 18:47:03 [talli]
- and i'm not the person to argue about systems architecture.
- 18:47:12 [talli]
- but webmail would be really cool
- 18:47:28 [hazmat]
- i want to see how people respond first
- 18:47:37 [talli]
- if it could be rebuilt quickly using python, that would be awesome
- 18:47:40 [hazmat]
- hi jerry
- 18:48:49 [jerryasher]
- Okay, I had three hours sleep. I should know hazmat, but...?
- 18:48:56 [jerryasher]
- (is your name Anne Thrax?)
- 18:49:19 [hazmat]
- closer to nuclear waste, kapil
- 18:49:36 [jerryasher]
- Hi Kapil! I was reading with interest your python excursions.
- 18:50:17 [jerryasher]
- * jerryasher grumbling, all this damn python and tcl, just bring back LISP!
- 18:50:22 [hazmat]
- i'm here to answer questions if anyone has any?
- 18:50:41 [hazmat]
- come on jerry you know you want to use java :)
- 18:51:17 [jerryasher]
- Yes Java, that's the C meets SmallTalk and LISP right?
- 18:51:35 [jerryasher]
- Did any of you folks ever use Gosling's emacs?
- 18:51:52 [jerryasher]
- A complete version of emacs for the VAX, written in C, with a
- 18:51:58 [hazmat]
- whats that?
- 18:52:02 [jerryasher]
- not quite LISP list built into it.
- 18:52:21 [jerryasher]
- Well I'll never be a Gosling level programmer, but
- 18:52:36 [jerryasher]
- he does have a history of taking LISP and other OOPy things and redoing them into C.
- 18:53:06 [hazmat]
- i'd rather be a james clark :)
- 18:53:17 [jerryasher]
- Or his banker.
- 18:56:57 [jerryasher]
- Hey Aaron, are you around?
- 18:57:09 [jerryasher]
- I have an RSS question for you.
- 18:57:18 [AaronSw]
- Yep, what's up?
- 18:57:48 [jerryasher]
- So I built this user blog module thing, and I want to make it spit out RSS when asked.
- 18:57:59 [AaronSw]
- Great!
- 18:58:07 [jerryasher]
- I'm currently using RSS 0.91
- 18:58:23 [jerryasher]
- Does that seem a reasonable choice?
- 18:58:37 [AaronSw]
- Well, as an author of RSS 1.0 I do recommend it. ;-)
- 18:58:59 [jerryasher]
- Ah, interesting!
- 18:59:03 [AaronSw]
- http://purl.org/rss/1.0/
- 18:59:03 [chump]
- D: http://purl.org/rss/1.0/ from AaronSw
- 18:59:10 [AaronSw]
- D:|RSS 1.0
- 18:59:10 [chump]
- titled item D
- 18:59:25 [jerryasher]
- Well then are a) folks writing RSS 1.0 clients?
- 18:59:32 [hazmat]
- AaronSw: do people actually rss1.0 for syndication purposes, i can't find many feeds?
- 18:59:44 [AaronSw]
- Yeah, there's a lot of users.
- 18:59:47 [hazmat]
- s/many/any
- 18:59:49 [jerryasher]
- b) is RSS 1.0 acceptable to the Userland keiretsu?
- 18:59:53 [AaronSw]
- RSS 1.0 is compliant with just about all RSS clients.
- 19:00:21 [AaronSw]
- Dave Winer made some fuss about RSS 1.0 for reasons that aren't clear to me, but it's perfectly comaptible with his software.
- 19:00:45 [jerryasher]
- That's what I wanted to hear. I may have a weird skew of the world, but
- 19:01:05 [hazmat]
- are many people actually extending it with namespaces for public feeds?
- 19:01:06 [jerryasher]
- it appears that if you want any mindshare in RSSland, it's important to be compatible with Userland.
- 19:01:31 [AaronSw]
- Your world is skewed. ;)
- 19:01:46 [AaronSw]
- But, yes, it's definitely good to be compatible.
- 19:01:53 [AaronSw]
- So we worked very hard to ensure that we are.
- 19:01:55 [jerryasher]
- Oh I know. I huddle in this room afraid of anthrax, and fluoridation.
- 19:02:05 [AaronSw]
- Heheh.
- 19:03:03 [jerryasher]
- Okay, well I think I'll go away for a little while and follow that link to rss 1.0.
- 19:03:52 [AaronSw]
- OK -- it's pretty similar to RSS 0.9 and friends -- just added some extensibility/compatibility features.
- 19:03:52 [talli]
- fluoridation is a post-WWII commie conspiracy
- 19:04:50 [jerryasher]
- That's not quite true.... I grew up figuring I was a fluoridated baby, but Los Angeles just went
- 19:05:03 [jerryasher]
- to fluoridation less than ten years ago.
- 19:05:24 [jerryasher]
- At the time there were some very interesting articles showing that fluoridation may
- 19:05:32 [talli]
- affect bodily fluids?
- 19:05:33 [jerryasher]
- have been dramatically overrated.
- 19:05:44 [jerryasher]
- (and purity of essense!)
- 19:06:02 [jerryasher]
- Folk's teeth improved as their diets improved and brushing habits improved.
- 19:06:05 [talli]
- i noticed something during the physical act of love which suggests fluoridation contaminated my essence
- 19:06:14 [jerryasher]
- It confounded most studies.
- 19:06:37 [jerryasher]
- And then comparisons of fluoridated vs. non fluoridated cities and counties showed no discernable
- 19:06:42 [jerryasher]
- effects of fluoridation.
- 19:06:56 [jerryasher]
- Except those that got fluoridated were all commie bastards.
- 19:07:02 [AaronSw]
- heh heh heh
- 19:08:15 [jerryasher]
- Anyway, off to read about RSS 1.0.
- 19:09:31 [jerryasher]
- Hey this is great, the spec is only tens months old. I'm powering up that technology curve!
- 19:10:15 [nkd]

- 19:23:25 [jerryasher]
- You don't get it! He's a retard BECAUSE of the fluoridation!
- 19:24:13 [hazmat]
- i thought it was the lead in the pipes
- 19:25:10 [jerryasher]

- the same company also makes parachutes for ultralights....

- 19:45:57 [davb]

- 21:42:17 [Spork]

- 21:44:35 [Spork]

- 21:44:47 [Spork]

- 21:45:48 [davb]
- Yeah! I am free! (going back to linux!)
- 21:45:48 [Spork]
- it looks a million times better :)
- 21:45:48 [davb]

- 21:45:53 [Spork]

- 21:46:21 [adler]
- i like it.
- 21:46:27 [Spork]
- yeah I like it too
- 21:46:31 [Spork]
- looks more informative
- 21:47:27 [adler]
- i like the new look, although the blue feels a little weak
- 21:47:42 [Spork]
- my personal favorite website color is grey
- 21:47:57 [adler]
- i think it will eventually be more useful than the old site
- 21:48:09 [Spork]
- and not that wimpy light grey or that "crap i can't read the black text" grey
- 21:48:17 [adler]
- and basically, i think it's important to showcase the current technology.. but what do i know?
- 21:48:24 [Spork]

- the resulting blogs are nice
- 21:55:06 [Spork]
- chump is the cute one

- 22:31:23 [hazmat]
- chatzilla here
- 22:31:28 [talli]
- yeah, i'm using mIRC
- 22:31:32 [talli]
- how is chatzilla?
- 22:31:39 [Spork]
- No idea
- 22:32:03 [hazmat]
- pretty good for me, but i'm still an irc newbie. its been stable though, my net conn is another story.
- 22:33:10 [talli]
- screw it. mIRC is stable
- 22:33:12 [talli]
- it sucks tough
- 22:33:16 [Spork]
- it's not too bad
- 22:33:36 [Spork]
- talli go to google.com and search for Peace and Protection
- 22:34:17 [Spork]
- it's an old script but it's still great
- 22:34:27 [Spork]
- I agree..plain mIRC lacks many features
- 22:35:25 [Spork]
- woohooo
- 22:35:30 [Spork]
- bitchx supports tcl scripts!
- 22:37:51 [hazmat]
- xchat supports python scripts... they've got them running as bots in #zope and #rdfig, it does google searches for you and other cool stuff, i'd like to get one here.

- 23:21:03 [Spork]
- nope :(
- 23:24:29 [hazmat]
- hmm...
- 23:32:05 [vinod]
- hazmat: you've probably seen this... http://openacs.org/doc/server-cluster.html
- 23:32:25 [hazmat]
- no i hadn't. thanks vinod
- 23:32:30 [vinod]
- ahh - that's for openacs3 though
- 23:33:34 [hazmat]
- vinod the same principles should apply though.
- 23:34:03 [vinod]
- cool - i've never done clustering
- 23:50:35 [hazmat]
- hm... its seems kinda strange all the acs docs warn about storing content in the object metadata system cause it will presumably blow performance, yet the cr is basically doing just that by sticking all the content in one place...
- 23:56:48 [davb]
- interesting. Do they mean acs_attributes?

- 23:58:20 [hazmat]
- that is serious
- 23:59:03 [davb]
- he doesn't say much.
- 23:59:27 [davb]
- Well the permissions system was completely unusable, but they tweaked a few queries and it turned right around.
- 23:59:47 [rbm]
- davb: how are those CDs coming?L
- 23:59:55 [davb]
- But it looks like there will be quite a bit of optimization work after the release.
