- any debian folk around who can tell me where the X include files live?
- 01:20:30 [vinod]
- well, i have a dir /usr/X11R6/include/X11, but i don't have anything in there. maybe there's a -dev pkg that has the headers?
- 01:48:44 [davb]
- maybe. I'll have to look harder :)
- 01:54:29 [davb]
- darn, everyone on debian is ignoring me :(
- 01:54:41 [davb]
- and I can;t find anything on www.debian.org
- 02:01:26 [vinod]
- is there a specific file you're looking for?
- 02:02:16 [davb]
- no. I am trying to compile something and it says it can't find the x11 include directory. I tried /usr/include and a couple others, but I didn't see anything.
- 02:03:45 [talli]
- talli has left #openacs
- 02:04:28 [vinod]
- hmmm... any clues in the Makefile as to where it's looking for the include dir?
- 02:05:41 [davb]
- its looking for Xos.h
- 02:05:52 [davb]
- it checks /usr/include...
- 02:05:57 [davb]
- I don't have it at all.
- 02:10:31 [vinod]
- i think it might be in xlib6g-dev
- 02:10:42 [davb]
- cool.

- http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=Xos.h&searchmode=searchfiles&case=insensitive&version=stable&arch=i386
- 02:13:36 [davb]
- thanks.
- 02:13:45 [davb]
- I didn't know you could search for files :)
- 02:14:26 [vinod]
- there's supposed to be a way to do it with 'apt-cache search', but i always forget the syntax
- 02:14:40 [vinod]
- apt-cache search Xos.h -> no results
- 02:14:49 [davb]
- that only works if its on your machine :)
- 02:14:57 [vinod]
- ahhh
- 02:15:53 [davb]
- hmmmm. locate Xos.h still returns no results...
- 02:16:10 [vinod]
- locate depends on a db that's built once a day
- 02:16:21 [vinod]
- you have to do 'updatedb' to update the db
- 02:16:41 [davb]
- ah
- 02:16:55 [davb]
- I learned _two_ things today :)

- argh ximian messed things up...
- 02:24:05 [davb]
- aha. if I put the ximain source before the debian one, it gets the ximian version of the packages...

- DON'T GET XIMIAN!
- 02:51:47 [docwolf]
- whoa
- 02:51:52 [docwolf]
- that's some endorsement
- 02:51:53 [markd2]
- don't monkey around with ximian
- 02:51:54 [docwolf]
- what's going on?
- 02:51:58 [rbm]
- HOLY CRAP! My new printer, and gimp-print ROCK
- 02:52:00 [rbm]
- Installed and setup the printer in no time.
- 02:52:08 [markd2]
- I find the gnome folks annoying to start out with.
- 02:52:10 [markd2]
- which is why I stick with macs
- 02:52:38 [rbm]
- docwolf: Before you came in, davb was talking about installing Ximian gnome
- 02:53:01 [docwolf]
- it's bad?
- 02:53:18 [rbm]
- Yeah. It'll screw things up.
- 02:53:57 [docwolf]
- the thing that's annoying about ximian
- 02:54:02 [docwolf]
- is that i just want to use Evolution
- 02:54:13 [docwolf]
- .. but can't, because to install it on its own is a baffling ordeal
- 02:57:25 [rbm]
- docwolf: apt-get install evolution
- 02:58:18 [docwolf]
- rbm: i don't think that will work with mandrake
- 02:58:29 [docwolf]
- also, those ximian dudes weren't thinking straight
- 02:58:36 [docwolf]
- Evo should be cross-platform
- 02:58:57 [docwolf]
- because many of us windows users don't want to use outlook, but have no choice.
- 02:59:11 [docwolf]
- and as I found out today, Mac Office is fundamentally crippled by MS
- 02:59:18 [docwolf]
- and cannot do scheduling with PC clients
- 02:59:18 [rbm]
- docwolf: The Gimp was ported to Windows, so I think a version for it will show up soon
- 02:59:41 [davb]
- davb (dave@alb-24-58-162-46.nycap.rr.com) has joined #openacs
- 02:59:53 [docwolf]
- rbm: really?! that would be awesome
- 03:00:00 [rbm]
- docwolf: You just have to get an apt-enabled rpm repository and you should be able to. I use apt in a Mandrake box I help a guy with.
- 03:00:37 [rbm]
- We have apt/rpm-enabled servers here, but I don't think we have mandrake stuff. We have RH 7.2.
- 03:01:12 [docwolf]
- rbm: cool. Hey, evoluion is GPL'd right? i wonder if any wacko really _is_ working on a windows port..
- 03:02:16 [hazmat]
- evo is gpl'd?
- 03:02:25 [hazmat]
- i thought all the gnome stuff was lgpl.
- 03:02:55 [hazmat]
- * hazmat betrays his ignorance of gnome

- 03:04:32 [davb]
- argh. I already installed ximian. am I in really big trouble?
- 03:04:50 [davb]
- Everything else is just the way I like it. I would hate to have to reinstall again :(
- 03:04:57 [hazmat]
- evo is gpl'd
- 03:05:02 [davb]
- dotLRN is coming :)
- 03:06:31 [hazmat]
- where?
- 03:06:43 [davb]
- end of the month :)
- 03:07:03 [hazmat]
- cool
- 03:07:33 [hazmat]
- using jython almost makes using java bearable.
- 03:07:43 [davb]
- interesting.
- 03:08:10 [davb]
- hazmat: will acs-service-contract (eventually) make it easier to use python with say OpenACS?
- 03:08:28 [davb]
- or any other langauage...
- 03:09:10 [hazmat]
- altering acs-service-contract to allow other languages is definitely doable (support to some xtent exists) but it must be callable from tcl and vice versa (to use other contracts within the language)
- 03:09:22 [hazmat]
- but that really doesn't make a language a first class citizen.
- 03:09:23 [davb]
- ok.
- 03:09:36 [davb]
- i see.
- 03:10:13 [hazmat]
- altering the request processor and templating to support python was a major pita, in which i succedded only partially. but i've stopped work on that effort.
- 03:10:36 [davb]
- right.
- 03:10:40 [hazmat]
- when the language can be used to drive content pages and access the acs api than i think it can be called a first class citizen.
- 03:10:55 [davb]
- I was thinking more of using other languages for background services.
- 03:11:22 [davb]
- not anything specific, just the idea popped into my head :)
- 03:11:26 [markd2]
- * markd2 wants to use fortran
- 03:12:37 [vinod]
- markd2 is always on the cutting edge
- 03:12:52 [davb]
- wouldn't that be paper cut...from the punch cards?
- 03:12:58 [markd2]
- * markd2 mumbles something about kids these days
- 03:13:16 [vinod]
- * vinod throws eggs at markd2's fort(ran) and runs
- 03:13:36 [markd2]
- heh
- 03:13:38 [davb]
- have you seen markd2 snow fort(ran)?
- 03:13:58 [vinod]
- i saw the 2 headed snow monster!
- 03:14:55 [davb]
- so far there were more bugs in my webalizer script than lines of code...
- 03:15:07 [davb]
- :)
- 03:15:23 [markd2]
- sounds like you're cut out for C programming!
- 03:15:30 [hazmat]
- davb: adding language support to acs-sc is pretty easy to allow for background services (depending on what kind), the only thing that needs to be altered is the dispatch function as i recall and the table constraint on languages.
- 03:15:43 [davb]
- cool.
- 03:16:07 [davb]
- anyway it definitely needs to allow pl/sql as a lanaguage.
- 03:16:48 [talli]
- i hope i don't embarrass myself with this question, but can someone please explain to me what the acs-sc is?
- 03:17:01 [hazmat]
- service contract
- 03:17:24 [hazmat]
- * hazmat returns to a java dungeon.
- 03:17:27 [talli]
- yes, i know. but what does it do?
- 03:17:45 [hazmat]
- * hazmat returns temporarily
- 03:18:10 [hazmat]
- its interface definition and dispatch system to allow for component based development in the acs.
- 03:18:50 [markd2]
- so things like java beans
- 03:18:52 [markd2]
- or fortran fossils?
- 03:19:24 [talli]
- hazmat: whoof. ever thought of being a technical writer?
- 03:19:37 [talli]
- hazmat: can you perhaps offer an example? i'd appreciate it.
- 03:20:08 [hazmat]
- mark2d: not quite, its a bit more lightweight than that. doesn't really allow for object references yet, its mainly used and implemented as simple function dispathcing at the moment.
- 03:21:25 [markd2]
- cool
- 03:23:00 [hazmat]
- talli: take the search system as an example an package, the search package defines provider and indexing interfaces ( i haven't looked in a while so this is probably in err). a package can define which of its contents are to be searched by providing a provider implementation, and different indexer implementations can be plugged in to allow for different search engines.
- 03:23:27 [talli]
- i see.
- 03:24:00 [talli]
- so the bboards would provide some details about what the search package should index?
- 03:25:09 [hazmat]
- yes, you could only index threads by yourself in a provider implementation. not true in reality because the bboards uses the cr which provides a generic provider implementation
- 03:26:32 [hazmat]
- * hazmat returns to the dungeon.
- 03:26:51 [talli]
- * talli thanks hazmat and wishes him luck with the dragon of java
- 03:27:03 [vinod]
- * vinod locks the key this time
- 03:27:10 [vinod]
- :-)
- 03:27:24 [hazmat]
- * hazmat pounds on the door, screaming 'let me out'
- 03:27:55 [markd2]
- * markd2 passes an anonymous inner class under the door
- 03:28:32 [vinod]
- a-ha! so markd2 is still under the influence of the Java Lords
- 03:28:50 [markd2]
- I'm dividing my time 3-way between java, oracle, and cocoa
- 03:29:02 [vinod]
- cocoa java - mmmmm
- 03:29:07 [talli]
- markd2: how do you like cocoa?
- 03:29:14 [markd2]
- it rocks my universe
- 03:29:20 [talli]
- it's based on objective-C, right?
- 03:29:21 [markd2]
- I picked up the new Hillegass book
- 03:29:22 [markd2]
- yep
- 03:29:28 [rbm]
- M
- 03:29:30 [talli]
- i heard that's a cool language
- 03:29:41 [talli]
- is it easy to build apps with?
- 03:29:42 [markd2]
- it's as brief as java is big
- 03:30:03 [talli]
- is cocoa a language or a framework?
- 03:30:13 [markd2]
- cocoa is the framework, objective C is the language
- 03:30:17 [markd2]
- but they're pretty much synonymous
- 03:30:31 [talli]
- i see. what kind of apps are you building?
- 03:30:31 [markd2]
- I don't think anyone else uses objective C
- 03:30:40 [markd2]
- right now, little tutorial thingies
- 03:30:40 [rbm]
- Objective-C is cool
- 03:30:45 [vinod]
- so it's like powerplant?
- 03:30:46 [talli]
- and... what's the diff between cocoa and carbon?
- 03:30:54 [rbm]
- markd2: GNUstep uses ObjC
- 03:31:09 [markd2]
- cocoa == nextstep, which is what GNUstep is trying to emulate
- 03:31:13 [markd2]
- so still pretty much the same thing
- 03:31:27 [markd2]
- carbon is the old "classic" mac APIs
- 03:31:35 [markd2]
- very procedural, kind old and crufty
- 03:31:45 [markd2]
- cocoa is an OO framework
- 03:31:56 [markd2]
- which really leverages the coolness of objective C
- 03:32:32 [davb]
- * davb needs a mac
- 03:32:50 [vinod]
- what do you need to develop in cocoa (besides a mac)?
- 03:33:33 [markd2]
- os/x
- 03:33:41 [markd2]
- the OS box comes with thedevtools
- 03:33:44 [markd2]
- which is all you need
- 03:33:56 [davb]
- that is cool
- 03:34:06 [vinod]
- schweet
- 03:34:22 [markd2]
- the next devtools rev comes with ASS (heh)
- 03:34:26 [markd2]
- AppleScript Studio
- 03:34:34 [markd2]
- from what I can tell is using the cocoa libraries from applescript
- 03:35:03 [markd2]
- which, if true, and if it doesn't suck, will really lower the development bar
- 03:35:18 [vinod]
- * vinod looks up at the development bar
- 03:35:57 [markd2]
- * markd2 bellies up to the development bar
- 03:36:10 [davb]
- * davb takes the elevator up 60 floors to the development bar.
- 03:36:46 [markd2]
- * markd2 is glad he didn't mention the development foo
- 03:36:53 [vinod]
- haha
- 03:36:54 [talli]
- speaking of the development bar, anyone have a reference to a reasonable tutorial about entity relationship diagrams?
- 03:40:26 [davb]
- well until tomorrow...
- 03:40:39 [vinod]
- does this help? http://www.smartdraw.com/resources/centers/software/erd.htm
- 03:40:48 [davb]
- davb has quit ("Client Exiting")
- 03:41:05 [talli]
- i saw that stuff
- 03:41:14 [talli]
- thanks. i didn't look directly at that
- 03:41:35 [vinod]
- np
- 03:59:21 [talli]
- has anyone used ER diagrams for development purposes?
- 03:59:33 [markd2]
- nope
- 03:59:38 [vinod]
- nope
- 03:59:43 [markd2]
- I don't do well with big formal diagrams
- 04:00:03 [markd2]
- usually they'er just a "look! I 've been doing work" thing for folks screwing around with some CASE tool
- 04:00:10 [talli]
- i see.
- 04:00:32 [markd2]
- but in your situation, if the client wants 'em, then you gotta make 'em
- 04:00:32 [talli]
- a client has requested them from us, and luke found an app that translates an ER diagram into a SQL data model
- 04:00:45 [talli]
- yeah, that's pretty much a cardinal truth
- 04:01:16 [markd2]
- maybe make it the other way aruond
- 04:01:27 [markd2]
- make your sql data model, then 'reverse engineer' the ER diagram from it
- 04:01:36 [talli]
- i was just wondering whether they were worth spending money on apps that do these things
- 04:01:54 [talli]
- i think this app does both, one way or the other
- 04:01:59 [markd2]
- cool
- 04:02:08 [markd2]
- I'm a retrogrouch when it comes to those things
- 04:02:15 [markd2]
- if it's a small enough problem, you can look at the sql
- 04:02:28 [talli]
- talli has left #openacs
- 04:02:38 [markd2]
- if it's a big enough problem, your ER diagram will cover pages with tiny boxes and hundreds of lines
- 04:02:40 [markd2]
- rendering it useless

- closed the wrong window
- 04:03:00 [markd2]
- and here I was about to unleash my invective
- 04:03:39 [talli]
- well, the nice thing about it is that it seems to provide a way to translate what we're doing to the client
- 04:03:45 [talli]
- that can also be a very bad thing, though
- 04:04:14 [talli]
- i've learned the worst thing in the world is to arm a client with technical knowledge
- 04:04:55 [markd2]
- heh
- 04:04:58 [talli]
- they'll ask why you're building them an intranet rathre than a VPN :(
- 04:06:14 [vinod]
- haha
- 04:06:47 [vinod]
- i'm coming to realize that programming would be really fun if it wasn't for customers
- 04:07:35 [markd2]
- yeah
- 04:07:44 [talli]
- the most fun would probably be to program for money without customers.
- 04:07:51 [talli]
- but those gigs are hard to come by, from what i hear

- 16:12:56 [davb]

- 16:13:13 [davb]
- it does not show up in cdrecord --scanbus?

- darn, I did not setup the cdrecorder after I reinstalled. I remember there was two modules.
- 16:15:32 [rbm]
- I use ntp to keep my date synchronized. I think you can tell it (ntp) to use UTC
- 16:15:35 [davb]
- srmod or sr_mod I think.
- 16:15:42 [davb]
- rbm: I should use ntp also :)

- davb: Now this SCSI thing....
- 16:20:05 [rbm]
- Linux sg driver version: 3.1.22
- 16:20:47 [davb]
- it should say on boot if it worked. your IDE cdrom should be srx or scdx
- 16:22:46 [davb]
- aha. ide-scsi and sr_mod are the modules
- 16:23:17 [rbm]
- How do I load different modules for cdrecord? (yes, I read the man page, but didn't find anything)
- 16:23:55 [davb]
- Just use them all the time and refer to your cdrom as scd0 or scd1 istead of hdc or whatever.
- 16:25:31 [rbm]
- "just use them"? them who?
- 16:26:21 [rbm]
- I think this says how: http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue57/stoddard.html
- 16:27:07 [davb]
- yes that is correct. I am looking at the cd-writing howto, it has the same info.
- 16:28:18 [davb]
- is ide-scsi compiled into the kernel or a module?
- 16:28:57 [rbm]
- Just found this in my /var/log/messages:
- 16:28:58 [rbm]

- But also: Jan 10 09:10:04 brasileiro kernel: hdb: ATAPI 44X CD-ROM drive, 128kB Cache, UDMA(33)
- 16:30:01 [davb]
- it finds the cd-recorder,but not the cdrom. you need to add append="hdd=ide-scsi"
- 16:30:16 [davb]
- or hdb=ide-scsi in lilo.conf so it doesn't load the ide driver.
- 16:32:13 [rbm]

- [Global Notice] Hi all. We've been experiencing some clone kiddie problems, including private CTCP floods. Suggest you turn on user modes +CE to avoid these attacks. +C prevents you from receiving private CTCP messages or responding to CTCP and +E prevents you from receiving messages from users not currently identified to nickserv. Thanks.
- 18:46:02 [davb]
- This is amusing: "Because Jet (our database engine) is inherently multiuser, with the professional edition of CityDesk, you can have up to 255 people editing the site at the same time. "
- 18:46:12 [davb]
- That won't be slow...
- 18:47:05 [lilo]
- [Global Notice] Please note: not modes +ce, but +CE . The capitalization is signficiant. For more information, check on #openprojects. Thanks.
- 18:52:55 [hazmat]

- 18:55:30 [hazmat]

- * davb is quickly lost :)
- 18:57:27 [davb]
- ado layer to what?
- 18:57:48 [lilo]
- [Global Notice] Please seriously consider turning off private CTCP if you're on a major public channel by setting mode C. On most clients, +C is set via one of the following: "/umode +C" or "/mode <yournick> +C" or "/quote mode <yournick> +C" or "/raw mode +C <yournick>". Thanks.
- 19:01:46 [lilo]
- [Global Notice] If you're on irssi and want to set +C to avoid private CTCP attacks, please set "/set lag_check_time 0" as well to avoid ping-out. Thanks.
- 19:03:59 [lilo]
- [Global Notice] Two final notes....if you don't mind restricting your client so that it only receives private messages/notices from users identified to NickServ, this may be another very good protection to have. To do so, set +E as well as +C (+CE). And finally, we'll save further comments for WALLOPS. You can see wallops by turning on user mode +w. Thanks.

- 19:17:35 [davb]
- hmmmm
- 19:17:40 [ola]
- I must be doing something wrong.
- 19:17:49 [ola]
- I mounted it at /ct/ and made a /clicktest.tcl with a call to clickthrough_link. that part works (it's just a regular link if I unmount CT etc.)...
- 19:18:17 [davb]
- ok.
- 19:18:26 [davb]
- and you clicked on it of course :)
- 19:18:40 [davb]
- is that an internal or external link?
- 19:19:14 [ola]
- yes. both as admin and normal user. (external link :-))
- 19:19:23 [davb]
- ok
- 19:19:31 [davb]
- check the parameters for the package.
- 19:19:46 [ola]
- ok.
- 19:19:50 [davb]
- I am not sure how often it stuffs them in the database by default.
- 19:20:37 [davb]
- 300 secs.. 5 mins it supposed to run.
- 19:20:58 [davb]
- aha. it doesn't use the parameter.
- 19:21:07 [ola]
- MaxNumberOfCachedClicks is set to 1 by me but it's originally 300 I think
- 19:21:25 [ola]
- hmm
- 19:21:36 [davb]
- look in the table clickthrough_log
- 19:23:09 [ola]
- in the .vuh file there's a call to ad_returnredirect... and after that stuff gets logged an so forth. maybe the script is halted by ad_returnredirect...?
- 19:23:27 [davb]
- I don't think so....
- 19:25:14 [davb]
- ola: it only stuffs them after 100 clicks. it checks every 5 mins.
- 19:25:21 [davb]
- I think the 100 is configurable.
- 19:25:22 [ola]
- never mind. I'm curious though, have you ever seen anything being reported yourself, while porting or so?
- 19:25:27 [ola]
- ok
- 19:25:29 [davb]
- yes :)
- 19:25:40 [davb]
- Also it was tested and some bugs were found so I think it works.
- 19:25:49 [davb]
- (bugs were fixed :)
- 19:26:09 [davb]
- nevermind, I lied, the 100 is hard coded in.
- 19:26:12 [ola]
- me too. I must be doing something really dumb;-)
- 19:26:16 [davb]
- but it SHOULD be a parameter.
- 19:26:23 [davb]
- did you click 100 times?
- 19:26:24 [ola]
- ok...
- 19:26:38 [davb]
- or change it in clickthrough_cache_sweeper
- 19:26:56 [ola]
- nope...
- 19:27:03 [ola]
- that must be it...
- 19:27:26 [davb]
- yeah, my trigger finger got tired testing. I wrote a tcl script to hit the link 100 times :)
- 19:27:47 [ola]
- heh
- 19:28:26 [davb]

- hi denshi, docwolf

- 20:42:37 [davb]
- so, does anyone know if ad_parameter package_key parameter_name _does_ work in a scheduled proc?
- 20:47:37 [davb]
- looking at the code, it looks like ad_parameter does not use package key to retrieve parameters, contrary to the documentation.
- 20:47:47 [hazmat]
- * hazmat is almost out of the java dungeon
- 20:48:00 [davb]
- yeah.
- 20:48:59 [davb]
- maybe I can get the package_id from inside the scheduled proc. clickthrough is supposed to only be installed once.
- 20:50:11 [davb]
- is there a proc to get a package_id based on the package_key?
- 20:50:39 [hazmat]
- its in memory in the sitenode map i believe... not sure.
- 20:52:35 [davb]
- ok, i'll look :)
- 20:52:50 [ola]
- davb: [apm_package_id_from_key static-pages]

- 20:55:07 [davb]
- cool
- 20:55:35 [davb]
- ola: did you get CT working btw?
- 20:57:50 [ola]
- yes dave, after clicking 100 times on a link... I just tried:-) - wooohooo!
- 21:00:05 [davb]
- heh, that's why I want to fix the parameters.
- 21:00:12 [ola]
- ok
- 21:00:20 [ola]
- [ad_parameter -package_id $package_id ParamName] *ought* to work in a scheduled procedure (hav not tested though)...
- 21:02:50 [davb]
- first you need the package_id :)

- 21:07:08 [denshi]

- commented item M
- 21:11:21 [hazmat]
- i think that nicely sums up my own feelings about ruby, although i do intend to experiment with the language.
- 21:11:33 [denshi]
- eckel was torn up for a while on comp.lang.ruby; most thought it a bit self-serving
- 21:11:56 [vinod]

- markd2 (~Snak@r-41.183.alltel.net) has joined #openacs
- 21:13:08 [hazmat]
- there are some questionable remarks there (esp. the one regard mat.'s intentions), but on the whole its args are still valid in my mind.
- 21:14:02 [talli]
- hazmat: i saw another article from someone that said "i hate all those damn 'self's all over the place"
- 21:14:06 [denshi]
- i think he just starts off on a whiny note. "So far I keep coming to the conclusion that Ruby is just a bad ripoff of Python, just like C# is a bad ripoff of C++ and to some degree Java".
- 21:14:18 [talli]
- i don't know what to think. the big one is that python has so many libraries
- 21:14:19 [denshi]
- Which just makes him sound like an idiot.
- 21:15:28 [davb]
- talli: how many languages do you want to learn?
- 21:15:35 [denshi]
- how old is eckel?
- 21:15:39 [davb]
- Python has way more books, tutorials etc.
- 21:15:49 [hazmat]
- denshi: 40s is my guess.
- 21:15:51 [talli]
- uhmm... i know english, most of hebrew, and some italian
- 21:16:12 [denshi]
- writing since 1986.... probably 40s.
- 21:16:20 [markd2]
- VB has way more books, tutorials, etc
- 21:16:26 [talli]
- i will need to learn tcl in order to do stuff for OACS
- 21:16:42 [talli]
- i've programmed in C++ and perl from college
- 21:16:48 [denshi]
- he just uses so many ad hominums attacks; it makes him sound like a teenager.
- 21:16:58 [Workiephylax]
- I'm trying to learn Java, C then C++
- 21:17:01 [Workiephylax]
- followed by Perl
- 21:17:03 [davb]
- markd2: heh good point.
- 21:17:05 [talli]
- just haven't touched it in a year or two, and i generally don't enjoy programming. but i need to be able to throw some stuff otgether
- 21:17:05 [denshi]
- er... s/hominums/hominum/gi
- 21:17:24 [davb]
- go with markd2's favorite fortran
- 21:17:26 [Workiephylax]
- talli, learn java then :)
- 21:17:30 [markd2]
- yes!
- 21:17:34 [talli]
- well, VB may be a good language to learn.
- 21:17:43 [hazmat]
- assembly is the way to go :)
- 21:17:47 [Workiephylax]
- It's got a sh*tload of libraries and it's very well documented
- 21:17:49 [davb]
- except it doesn't run on Linux or any other platform.
- 21:17:50 [denshi]
- talli: I kind of wonder why I like programming.
- 21:18:10 [talli]
- wait, lemme rephrase something
- 21:18:14 [talli]
- i don't mind programming
- 21:18:19 [talli]
- i HATE debugging
- 21:18:33 [talli]
- which pretty much is programming
- 21:18:34 [davb]
- stop writing buggy software :)
- 21:18:41 [denshi]
- Mostly programming is just hours of frustration, but the high off the few minutes when it all comes together seems to make up for it. Maybe I'm just easy to please.
- 21:18:55 [hazmat]
- does anyone else think debugging in oacs is a bitch?
- 21:18:55 [talli]
- denshi: that sounds like golf. i hate golf.
- 21:19:06 [denshi]
- I hate golf too.
- 21:19:07 [Workiephylax]
- * Workiephylax waves his hand
- 21:19:11 [markd2]
- golf sucks
- 21:19:14 [davb]
- hazmat: it sucks, postgresql errors are ill defined.
- 21:19:20 [denshi]
- debugging in oacs also sucks.
- 21:19:34 [talli]
- does tclpro help at all?
- 21:19:36 [hazmat]
- the logs are impossible to tail as well. way to verbose.
- 21:19:43 [davb]
- the problem is the error pages NEVER give the real error.
- 21:19:44 [talli]
- is it because there's no good IDE?
- 21:20:04 [hazmat]
- talli: that could be, the problem is the lack of a debugger not an ide. imo.
- 21:20:06 [davb]
- that's all debug level notices. I think all the QD stuff will go away (I hope)
- 21:20:18 [davb]
- 99% of that stuff should not be in the log of a production site.
- 21:20:37 [denshi]
- talli: i think it's b/c oacs 3.x isn't well layered.
- 21:20:38 [markd2]
- it's nice to be able to turn it on to track down production problems
- 21:20:42 [hazmat]
- davb: but we're talking about development... :), it would be nice to turn on log subsystems on a case per case basis.
- 21:20:52 [davb]
- yes.
- 21:20:57 [davb]
- good point.
- 21:21:17 [davb]
- next release :)
- 21:21:19 [hazmat]
- * hazmat is itching to compare to zope. :)
- 21:21:22 [markd2]
- aolserver2 had a neat run-time customizable logging facility (mod_log) *and* hooks in a lot of places
- 21:21:30 [markd2]
- alas the aolserver 3 folks took out most of the hooks
- 21:21:31 [vinod]
- compare, compare
- 21:21:39 [davb]
- we will just heckle you.
- 21:21:42 [davb]
- :)
- 21:21:42 [markd2]
- it was dead-easy to see headers of requests, incoming outgoing bytes, etc
- 21:22:09 [talli]
- markd2: what is aolserver4 going to be like? will it be a major upgrade?
- 21:22:17 [markd2]
- no idea
- 21:22:20 [markd2]
- I've pretty much lost interest
- 21:22:29 [talli]
- ah, ok
- 21:22:37 [markd2]
- sounds like they're coming back to some stuff that was in 2.X :-)
- 21:22:38 [vinod]
- interest rates have been down
- 21:22:53 [davb]
- time to go.
- 21:22:56 [davb]
- davb has quit ()
- 21:23:25 [hazmat]
- you can run zope from the command line, and in the python debugger. configurable logging. you can open a live site in an interpreter if you configure that way, and make all your changes private to your session.
- 21:23:49 [vinod]
- aol.com is running on aolserver 3.4 now
- 21:24:11 [hazmat]
- plus two platform ide's with zope debugging support wingide, and komodo. ok i'm done.
- 21:24:29 [vinod]
- haha
- 21:24:36 [talli]
- hazmat: yeah, but, uh, zope sucks. :)
- 21:24:40 [hazmat]
- :)
- 21:25:07 [talli]
- i shouldn't say that after i've admitted i can't program, should i? vinod, back me up
- 21:25:26 [vinod]
- uh.. yeah, what talli says
- 21:25:39 [vinod]
- * vinod furiously looks for a slashdot post to back him up
- 21:25:49 [hazmat]
- lol
- 21:26:28 [vinod]
- hazmat: do you use dtml at all or do you do everything in python
- 21:26:39 [hazmat]
- * hazmat promises never to mention zope unless asked again in #openacs.
- 21:26:52 [hazmat]
- python
- 21:26:58 [hazmat]
- all on the fs
- 21:27:00 [vinod]
- * vinod promises never to mention goats again unless asked by markd2
- 21:27:12 [talli]
- * talli promises never to be a self-aggrandizing perv again unless hazmat mentions zope again
- 21:27:21 [markd2]
- heh
- 21:27:24 [denshi]
- I hear pervy goats use zope.
- 21:27:32 [markd2]
- markd2 has changed the topic to: GoatenACS: Free Web Toolkit http://openacs.org
- 21:27:44 [vinod]
- what does 'all on the fs' mean? (sorry newbie here)
- 21:27:46 [denshi]
- And we have a new name!!
- 21:28:34 [markd2]
- maybe I should post that to that huge 'name the product' thread
- 21:28:56 [hazmat]
- vinod: lots of zope is designed to be code ttw (web based). i code in python products and dtml/zpt (presentation) on the fs meaning i don't use the web interface to zope very much.
- 21:29:37 [vinod]
- ahh - i was thinking that the ttw might be a limitation for me since i like the acs way
- 21:29:41 [hazmat]
- i do that mainly to play better with my editing tools (although emacs can edit zope ttw via ftp, as can others via webdav (or passing through cadaver), the other reason is to version control my files.
- 21:30:03 [vinod]
- that was gonna be my next question - cvs.
- 21:30:48 [markd2]
- they have a pretty good selection of candy bars
- 21:31:01 [hazmat]
- zope does have some notion of versions but its pretty weak at the moment, although there are some interesting projects going on to introduce it. i consider it a weakness of zope.
- 21:31:16 [hazmat]
- so i worked around it.
- 21:31:18 [vinod]
- markd2: and prescription drugs
- 21:31:22 [vinod]
- cool
- 21:31:38 [talli]

- Bugs?
- 21:32:04 [Workiephylax]

- 21:32:11 [talli]
