They have everything there. 00:08:30 DavesCreature has quit ("local keyboard interrupt") 00:09:08 Paje is written in Perl BTW. The original version saves to DBM databases. The Debian package has been forked to use MySQL, so I didn't even think about installing. 00:09:21 I did download the debian source package and looked at doing a port to PostgreSQL :) 00:09:31 for an irc bot it seems appropiate. 00:09:35 to use mysql. 00:09:54 * hazmat is banished to infernal flames for suggesting use of mysql on openacs. 00:09:57 hazmat: Yes, I just don't want MySQL on my system, that's all :) 00:12:42 because you never know what might come back to haunt in a few years... 00:12:53 this is logged and google indexes it :) 00:13:22 so we shouldn't talk about talli's unfortunate cocaine habit? 00:13:31 no thats fair game. 00:13:37 its public knowledge, right? 00:13:38 TALLI COCAINE TERRORISM WHITE HOUSE 00:13:41 why is it unfortunate? 00:13:58 i'm not complaining. docwolf, you should stop judging people 00:14:05 google has indexed everything else monty has said, so I think it is well founded to say that "Monty is the true mastermind behind crackmonkey.org. He is both a monkey and on crack." 00:14:18 not that there's anything wrong with that.... 00:14:19 good point. 00:14:35 actually, cocaine can be useful, to a point. 00:14:43 (it used to be an Over-the-counter treat) 00:15:18 is that point, death? 00:15:20 that's b/c the concentrations were something like a thousand times weaker back then. 00:15:26 and in soda.... mmm... cocain laced soda 00:15:31 * rbm getting a job offer from MySQL AB would be like receiving one from MS, except not as dramatic :) 00:15:47 yeah.. i guess the problem now is that you don't really know what you're getting 00:15:52 i had a friend who worked on ms, he had an email addr @evilempire.com 00:16:02 and a jedi knight business card. 00:16:09 luke worked at MS 00:16:09 the age-old process was coca leaves & soda rocks (mildly alkaline). The current process is as advanced as anything chemical engineering can provide. 00:16:13 he said he enjoyed ut 00:16:13 it 00:16:17 So I went to help a friend with his Debian box yesterday, and he tried to get me into some Quickstar network marketing thing. 00:16:46 ack. 00:16:52 syn. 00:16:57 wait 00:17:06 that is amway in disguise I believe 00:17:51 davb: That's what I thought, but he assured me it wasn't. 00:27:26 night all. 00:27:36 late denshi 00:27:43 nite 00:27:44 hazmat has quit ("ChatZilla 0.8.5 [Mozilla rv:0.9.8/20020204]") 00:27:53 bye 00:27:59 Oh, before I go: 00:28:00 http://www.advogato.com/article/430.html 00:28:00 A: http://www.advogato.com/article/430.html from denshi 00:28:16 bye? 00:28:16 bye rbm 00:28:17 denshi, btw, have you taken a look at any more of Tora? 00:28:26 A: The secret truth of Mono.. 00:28:26 commented item A 00:28:33 denshi: Oh. 00:29:16 talli: yes, I have. I'm going to go home and play with it some more. Then I'm going to play with some pset type docs and some prototyping noise. These are at the top of my mental heap. 00:29:28 killer 00:29:34 I really think I need to get a job on this, just to provide impetus for scheduling. 00:29:35 did the belgian guy get back to you? 00:29:51 no, he didn't. I'm not sure what the next level of harassement is. 00:30:00 denshi: Hahah. hilarious :) 00:30:05 I'm going to bug the two tora postgres contributors to see what's up. 00:30:23 cool 00:30:52 bye then. 00:31:40 denshi has quit () 00:36:04 talli has left #openacs 00:39:52 you guys see what walmart is doing? 00:40:08 these guys have major-league brass balls. 00:40:27 nope 00:40:40 they are selling PCs -- and you, Mr. Consumer, can choose to buy one _without_ windows (!!!) 00:40:54 that's right, they'll sell you a bare machine 00:40:57 without the microsoft tax. 00:41:01 cool. 00:42:17 it's still too expensive though.. they sell a complete PC for $399 00:42:21 (no monitor, of course..) 00:42:49 if they dropped the price by like another $100 00:42:55 and threw in 00:42:55 http://www.lycoris.com/ 00:42:56 B: http://www.lycoris.com/ from docwolf 00:42:56 That advogato post is totally hilarious! 00:42:59 for free.. 00:44:49 that looks neat. maybe I'll sneak it onto the wife's new computer :) 00:44:58 :-) 00:45:36 if walmart could squeeze another $100 out and include a monitor.. the PC industry would turn over and die. 00:45:50 b/c that little machine is more than enough for 99.9% of people. 00:46:09 I don't think they can do both. 00:46:20 yeah, it would be tough 00:46:22 -$100 and monitor. although a 15 inch is what $79? 00:46:30 i don't know what it is these days. 00:46:55 yeah, $79 retail 00:47:06 which means walmart can do way, way better. 00:47:22 right. Inkjet printner cost less than the cartridges now. 00:47:30 haha 00:47:55 wait, you're not kidding 00:48:02 not at all. 00:48:06 oh my god 00:48:10 HP- P.2500U INKJET PRINTER USB WITH CABLE-RETAIL BOX. NEW 00:48:15 $ 39 00:48:37 walmart sells them in bubble packs on the endcaps. 00:48:47 oh my god 00:48:51 when did _that_ happen? 00:49:01 probably right before christmas. 00:49:13 wow 00:49:25 obviously it is less expensive to throw away the printer, but hp is betting you just buy ink. 00:49:29 A printer for $39?!?!?! 00:49:30 so, expect that if the walmart thing becomes popular 00:49:38 you can buy a full PC for $300 bux 00:49:41 and a printer for $40 00:49:44 docwolf: where's that? 00:50:04 rbm: walmart has made the courageous decision to offer PCs without windows 00:50:08 I bought an Epson C60 for $80, free shipping. 00:50:21 that I am sure is a 10x better printer. 00:50:30 docwolf: I saw that, but where are you seeing these prices? walmart.com? 00:50:38 yeah 00:50:39 walmart.coim 00:50:43 they have one for $399 00:50:48 davb: It's a great printer. Parallel and USB, works perfectly on Linux. 00:50:50 right at the local walmart the printer lives. I have seen it with my own eyes. 00:50:55 but knowing walmart, that price will drop drastically over the course of a year 00:51:00 they are totally brutal to their suppliers. 00:51:01 * rbm doesn't like HP inkjets. Been burned too many times by them. 00:51:32 My wife studied walmart on her Marketing class. Funny that Walmart was the biggest cause of productivity increase in the U.S. 00:51:42 their management is superb 00:51:46 they are super-cheap people 00:51:53 And their distribution system is awesome. 00:51:55 and their IT is killer 00:52:03 I hate what walmart has done to many towns 00:52:09 but... they deserved their success. 00:52:20 It's really hard to compete. 00:52:56 Walmart recently became a supercenter here in Logan. Their parking lot is _always_ full. On saturdays it's insane. 00:53:04 actually out local walmart has went way down hill. very little selection and ever poorer quality than usual. 00:53:09 Meanwhile, Kmart's parking lot, next door, is almost always empty. 00:54:57 moo 00:55:13 hmm. 00:55:16 rbm: moo 00:55:22 crp 00:55:25 s/crp/crap/ 00:55:32 * rbm goes to eat 00:55:44 Oh wait, I have to check walmart.com first 00:56:52 docwolf: have a URL for me?

I like the dog though 03:20:24 they are having a mini lanaguage debate on speed between Perl, PHP and Java, and the smart people say, who cares the difference between 20 and 40 pages per second, hardware is cheap. developer time is expensive. ease of development is more important. 03:20:36 ok, testing that a wp package instance can be deleted... yes, but this test was before creating anything 03:20:52 davb, what are you talking about? 03:21:03 (i.e., created a wp instance, mounted, then deleted immediately) 03:21:39 talilee: basically, the difference in speed between different platforms is not as important as the speed of the developer (ease of use, learning) 03:22:02 who is having the debate, though? 03:22:05 and OpenACS gives you alot up front so customization cost is lower (or should be) 03:22:07 cms-list 03:22:11 ah, ok 03:22:15 rbm: I am writing a short paper about OACS arch, hopefully you can give me some feedback 03:22:19 uhoh, I accidently created a subsite instead of a wp 03:22:25 heh 03:22:28 tried to delete 03:22:30 boom 03:22:31 I hate when that happens. 03:22:40 yes, very bad. can't do that with subsite. 03:23:21 should be able to tho... 03:23:35 well, nm, that problem is already known :) 03:24:55 rafa: okay 03:25:17 rbm: did you fix your visa problems? 03:25:19 interesting... my patch was accepted? 03:28:05 nope... 03:31:41 wow, wp is really different 03:32:11 much nicer ui for adding collaborators, groups easy to add 03:33:09 rafa: The INS returned me to student status in December. 03:33:14 err, easy to add permissions to groups 03:33:28 jim: wp? 03:33:28 it has been said that wp is really different 03:33:35 wimpy point 03:33:43 oh, yes. 03:34:13 status 03:34:23 paje, status 03:34:24 Since Thu Feb 21 16:53:00 2002, there have been 30 modifications and 33 questions.

I think you need to check acs_objects using the id of the presentation to see what the context_id is. it should not be -100 04:00:24 I found this in the comments for the oracle sql: Presentations have no context_id....should they? Answer: Yes their context id should 04:00:25 -- point to the package_id of the instance of this wimpy point. 04:00:25 -- (There could be multiple instances.) 04:00:42 duh. it took be 5 mins to change it. I can't believe that was wrong for so long. 04:00:55 I've seen that comment before 04:01:09 and I wasn't getting paid $$$ by aD to fix it :) 04:01:32 should we have signed our lives away to them? 04:01:36 now davb, there's no use beating a dead horse... 04:01:42 unless you can get a laugh out of it 04:01:54 so, beat on! 04:02:04 heh 04:02:15 we'd be 0wn3ed by the vc fiends right now 04:02:18 ok. you win. 04:03:48 really though, it must have taken almost as long to write that in the comments as it did to fix it. 04:03:49 SQL> select o.context_id from acs_objects o where o.object_id=2713; 04:03:49 CONTEXT_ID 04:03:49 ---------- 04:03:49 2712 04:03:53 cool! 04:04:27 ok. I will submit my new patch to fix that context_id, then make another patch for the cd_wp_presentations bug. 04:04:48 thanks a million! 04:05:08 good idea... might even be a good idea to file a bug and attach the patch to the bug report 04:05:20 you're welcome 04:05:59 btw, even with oracle running... 04:06:08 q-bert still runs well :) 04:06:40 this question may be heretical, but is SDM worth porting or should the app be scrapped and something just built from the ground up? 04:07:04 i've never been able to figure out how to use the things, and honestly i've spoken with very few who have. 04:07:14 * talilee waits to be barraged with stuff 04:07:43 talilee: scrapped. 04:07:50 given it hasn't been ported yet, we don't really know anymore how good it is 04:07:53 A new pacakge using worklfow and ticket-tracker is the way to go. 04:07:57 (no current data) 04:08:11 * davb is not volunteering 04:08:29 davb, i agree. now we need to find a volunteer.... i think i know someone actually 04:08:32 and file-storeage or something to accept the patches I think. also it needs to hook to CVS 04:08:48 I lost my patch... 04:09:02 oops, nm 04:09:04 I still have it 04:09:25 aww, the snake got the qbert! 04:09:53 thanks.

Now paje is in address mode. 17:13:44 thanks 17:13:55 so it only remembers if you say paje: etc... 17:13:57 ? 17:14:52 davb: It only talks when you address him, but it listens :) 17:14:57 time? 17:15:00 ok. 17:15:01 won't work, but 17:15:03 paje: time? 17:15:03 Fri Feb 22 10:16:58 2002 17:15:05 will. 17:15:34 rbm, you may want to ask paje to specify the time zone, too ;) 17:15:39 i've got 12:15 17:15:44 talilee: I guess :) 17:16:38 ok, spiffy logo will have to wait until I can access photoshop :( 17:21:00 thats is good enough http://24.58.162.46:8001 17:22:20 davb, i'm having issues with your CSS on mozilla on win 17:22:41 if you shrink the browser, the text runs onto the pages 17:23:07 really? its pretty simple. hmmm. it shouldn't do that. 17:23:26 IE, must be breaking the rules, or assuming something :) 17:23:45 the text should pop underneath the photos... 17:24:27 It happens on mozilla 0.9.8 Linux as swell. 17:25:42 I expect mozilla is right. 17:25:46 opera/linux too ... 17:25:50 darnies. 17:26:12 Anyone have experience with Qt and Gtk? 17:26:16 that means I will have to wait until after the weekend to convert. I won't have time to test on mozilla until then. 17:29:10 vinod (~vinod@216-164-247-109.s2331.apx1.sbo.ma.dialup.rcn.com) has joined #openacs 17:32:26 rbm,yes to both. 17:35:00 rbm, did you have a question regarding them... 17:35:47 dlk (dlk@walter.ita.chalmers.se) has joined #openacs 17:36:02 dlk has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)) 17:45:40 hazmat: Yes, what can you tell me about them? 17:45:46 pros & cons 17:46:00 and which is better when used with python. 17:46:04 are you programming in native languages (c++ and c) 17:46:06 ah. 17:46:17 what platforms are you targeting? 17:46:18 I was hoping to use Python, but I'll probably use native langs as well. 17:46:37 hazmat: Windows and Linux. Macs (< 10) would be a bonus. 17:49:25 well personally i like the qt api alot, its clean and well designed, but its problematic deploying for multiple platforms. for qtv3 the python windows bindings aren't completly ready (plus additonal licensing concerns), but their is the added benefit that it works on embedded devices like the ipaq and sharp zaurus. the python bindings are nice, and programming it in c++ is nice as well (alot of this is subjective). 17:50:50 okay. Good to know. And Gtk? 17:54:03 wxwindows/wxpython should also get consideration. 17:54:51 my biggest problem with wx, is that it feels rather clunky but it was designed after MFC so it inherits alot of the same feel to assist transition for MFC programmers. 17:55:00 clunky from api perspective. 17:56:48 hth 17:57:19 qt is now GPL compliant? 17:57:23 is that true? 17:57:46 hazmat: I've considered wmWindows/wxPython. But it didn't work well on Macs (wxPython that is) 17:57:51 qt on unix and embedded platforms is gpl licensed (dual licensed) actually. 17:58:09 hazmat: Didn't they GPL the windows version as well? 17:58:11 so it's not free on win? what is the scheme on win? 17:58:16 none of those toolkits works well on mac versions less than X 17:58:21 if at all. 17:58:47 they have a semi-free (non-commericial usage) for windows for qt 2.3.2 not qtv3 17:59:06 what is qtv3 under? 17:59:08 its only gpl compatible if you make a license alteration which they detail on site. 17:59:35 qtv3 is gpl on unix 17:59:38 so if you're not building proprietary apps, it's gpl? 17:59:44 http://www.unclebear.com/freerpgs/ 17:59:45 I: http://www.unclebear.com/freerpgs/ from davb 17:59:50 I:| Free RPGs 17:59:51 titled item I 18:00:01 if you're not buying a separate license than its gpl. 18:00:27 well, let me ask it this way then... 18:00:54 nothing to say an opensource project from buying a license and distributing cross-platform that i'm aware of, but i'm not a lawyer. 18:01:01 if someone were to build a gui config utility for OACS (not a project, a thought i had this morn) could you use qt as free software? 18:01:02 s/say/stop 18:01:13 for unix 18:01:27 and for win? 18:01:42 odd, i'm doing a bit of the samething right now for zope3 (a gui configurator for xml files) and just went through these questions. 18:01:46 For win, you could use qt 2.3 for free. 18:02:04 But not 3.0 18:02:06 if you make a license alteration. 18:02:15 what kind of license alteration? 18:02:16 assuming the original was gpl 18:02:54 well, everything would be GPL, so the question is only if qt would be available for use 18:03:19 btw, i had lunch with bradley kuhn, vp of the FSF, and ravi kanna, the new development director of the FSF, the other day 18:03:27 it was a lot of fun. good guys. bradley is a cool geek 18:03:37 one other thing distributing wxpython and gtk python is a bit easier since there are binaries for windows. the pyqt binaries also require separate distribution of a qt dll while the others include dlls for their underlying toolkits. 18:03:54 they are becoming aware of the OACS, and are interested in getting involved to bridge a lot of gaps between similar projects 18:04:17 cool. 18:04:46 hazmat: And Gtk? 18:04:52 hazmat: pros & cons? 18:05:03 gtk is fully gpl, right? no questions? 18:05:07 didn't i already do that? 18:05:09 lgpl 18:05:16 ah, cool 18:05:19 cross platform/ 18:05:20 ? 18:05:27 hazmat: not that I can see. 18:06:03 gtk xp - win32 (still a little flakey), unix, mac osx (i've heard rumors) 18:06:24 hazmat: You did wx and told m about the binaries for windows. But I was more interested in how good the toolkit is 18:06:39 did you see that? 18:07:07 gtk, programming it in c is a bitch imo. macro hell, which granted can happen to any sufficiently large c app, and alot of casting. fortunately the python bindings hide most of that from you. in python the system is very nice. the one thing is that you don't get native widgets which qt and wxpython would give you for windows. also i'm not sure what state the mac port is in, though i've heard rumors of its existence. the wingide. 18:07:09 hazmat: e.g. I knew the Qt API is very clean and nice, and the licensing info was good. But how's GTK's api? I heard it was a messy thing. 18:07:10 yah. 18:07:24 sorry if i spammed. chatzilla was being wierd. 18:08:28 If I were to do Python+Qt, I would look into purchasing BlackAdder, from theKompany because my boss won't live without a GUI builder. 18:08:58 out of curosity where do you work? 18:08:59 blackadder seemed like a cool tool 18:09:40 i'd rather use wingide for python coding and qtdesigner for a gui builder. 18:09:59 besides it cheaper ;) 18:10:00 my one problem with the Kompany is that the association with anything that starts with K in america is with the KKK 18:10:06 hazmat: I work for the USU Space Dynamics Lab. We're going to build some apps for the Utah State Office of Education and the Utah Department of Health. We just finished one ACS 4.x Classic app for the Utah Office of Education. 18:10:43 i guess their german, right? i'm not suggesting nazism, just that their not in the US and would miss that 18:10:58 i have problems with the Kompany , mainly because i bought one of their programs kapital, and it sucked... crashed consistently, not where i want to put my finances. 18:10:59 at least Konquerer, Kompany, etc. 18:11:07 hazmat: But BlackAdder gives you Win Qt license. 18:11:09 their based out of socal 18:11:17 they have employees all over the world. 18:13:06 rbm: this is true, but its only qt2.2.4 (from website) so if you want the data access stuff from qtv3... 18:13:36 hazmat: Not really. I was looking into using gadfly or something like that. 18:14:04 um.. you'd be better off with the zodb, imo. 18:14:50 hazmat: It'll be small apps. How big is zodb? 18:15:08 hazmat: And would I need zodb running as a daemon or something? 18:15:20 small. its embedded within the app. 18:15:32 hazmat: Ah, good. Thanks for the tip then. 18:16:37 it gives you transactions and more transparent persistence as major advantages and it allows multi-threaded programming. 18:16:44 www.amk.ca has a tutorial 18:17:37 well its been fun, but i should do some work today ;) cheers 18:17:57 thanks hazmat 18:18:59 np 18:22:46 rbm: i found tcl/tk very useful to do cross platform gui's ... although it's propably better suited for the small- quick hack kind of project 18:23:54 also via tcl lists it's easy to interface it to an openacs server 18:25:38 til: Yes, I've considered Tk as well, especially since it works on Macs and there are no licensing issues. 18:31:09 particularily nice i found the interactive features of wish, so that one can manipulate the running programm via a shell ... is python capable of something comparable? 18:33:21 til: Yes, and more. 18:34:02 btw. regarding pygtk (i'm investigating for a possible switch in toolkit), the windows version doesn't handle threading too well apparently. 18:34:35 which only relates to multiple threads updating the gui not multiple threads in a program per say. 18:35:10 does qt run all right on GNOME? 18:36:07 where is that bastard denshi when you need him? 18:36:43 talilee: yes 18:37:21 thanks hazmat 18:39:13 apropos of htis convo, check out the latest article on slasdhot 18:39:16 paje, slashdot 18:39:17 Slashdot - Updated 2002-02-22 18:10:21 | Coding with KParts | Lawsuit Over Crippled Charley Pride Music Disks Settled | The Skeptical Environmentalist | Linux *Won't* Fail on the Desktop? 18:56:38 hazmat: have you looked at gconf? 18:56:46 no 19:00:39 hazmat: ok 19:00:44 brb 19:10:50 davb has quit () 20:40:33 denshi (~chatzilla@adsl-216-62-223-193.dsl.rcsntx.swbell.net) has joined #openacs 20:40:40 all hail the coming of the bastard. 20:41:34 * vinod hails 20:43:17 I can't talk too much today, but I want to throw out a question, in response to Don's version number question: -- should we call the release 5.0? 20:57:11 til has quit (Read error: 113 (No route to host)) 20:57:12 vinod has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)) 20:57:55 rbm: ayh? 21:03:18 rbm: I'll just put this out so you can see it... gonna have lunch in a sec... 21:04:42 rbm: I have located a debian developer in Salt Lake City, UT who is happy to sign your key... within a few limitations, he's very flexible and available to do so. When you get back, I'll give you the details 21:04:44 jim: hey 21:04:54 ok, you're here :) 21:05:02 Just arrived at work 21:05:04 I just got off the phone with him 21:05:11 jim: Oh cool. 21:05:19 he says: 21:05:39 - does open-source business and contract work out of his ome 21:05:42 home 21:05:43 I have a friend here at the univ. who's also applying to be a DD. He said he got his key signed by someone in SLC but I thought he had said the guy was passing by SLC. 21:06:25 jim: Is that a question? 21:06:31 - was president of linux users group in his area 21:06:58 - has home address publicised, as well as his phone number 21:07:51 so, I can give you those things now, and you should make arrangements with him to get your key signed 21:08:49 if you're in SLC now or will be today, you could probably drop by his house 21:09:00 or, at the next user group meeting 21:09:55 but if user group meeting, let him know in advance so he can have his laptop with his key stuff ready 21:10:18 how do you want to proceed? 21:11:00 jim: Either. Does he want to come to _our_ user group meetings? 21:11:11 I was thinking of going to SLC tomorrow morning. 21:11:18 you'll have to ask him :) 21:11:23 I'm not in SLC now. 21:11:25 what meeting? 21:11:33 We're having an install fest tomorrow 21:12:08 given I just got off the phone with him, good chance he might be available to make arrangements with now 21:12:56 he also said it's possible he'd need a few days advance notice 21:13:21 but... 21:13:26 wanna call him? 21:13:35 jim: what about someone applying for DD that already has had his key signed by a DD? Can he sign my key? 21:13:54 yes 21:15:12 docwolf has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)) 21:15:35 I dunno if the "web of trust" extends in that manner in the case of not-debian-devel-yet, but you can apply and work on the signatures as you go 21:17:04 jim: Sure, I'll give him a call. 21:17:12 /msg me his phone # 21:17:15 denshi, you there? 21:17:18 ok 21:19:52 yup 21:19:58 hey 21:20:18 i wanted to talk to you about building a GUI config for AOLserver 21:20:44 let me push it off for a few minutes 21:20:51 ok 21:21:52 jim: Thanks. Put it in my Visor. 21:22:27 talilee: might also think about debian configuration... there is a special interface for doing that called debconf... 21:22:52 that sounds cool 21:23:06 (i.e., a package such as aolserver or openacs can get its config information from the debconf interface) 21:23:20 GUI? 21:23:55 and what if the configurator runs on something other than debian? 21:24:02 the debconf interface can do about 4 or 5 different styles of ui 21:24:17 windows, etc. or if aolserver is run on someting other than debian? is debconf portable? 21:25:10 it may be possible to factor in such a manner that would allow you to grab info from debconf or from a separate source 21:25:32 I'm not personally familiar with debconf... 21:25:47 but I have to learn it sometime anyway 21:26:46 so I'm willing to try squeezing it in after I learn iptables, and content repository 21:26:58 haha 21:27:10 that sounds like a decent idea 21:27:40 but from what i understand aolserver is nice because its configuration scripts are single centrally located files 21:27:55 why couldn't those be connected directly? 21:28:10 also nice is that you can factor into many files... 21:28:10 especially if debconf doesn't port to bsd 21:29:17 did you already mention your targets? win, linux, bsd, mac? 21:29:28 all of the above 21:29:36 mac osx and mac < osx? 21:29:43 i didn't mention the targets, but the gui would have to run on windows for sure 21:29:50 that would be the number one target, actually 21:29:59 mac < osx? 21:30:03 it may be that a browser solution would be better 21:30:10 no, i don't think less than osx would be a big deal 21:30:24 oic, 21:30:39 I can't follow a conversation :) 21:30:48 win is your #1 target 21:30:57 what about cygwin? 21:31:17 this is a configuration thing, not something to run aolserver 21:31:26 so it would connect to the server 21:31:33 which would be a linux box 21:31:46 but the interface would be on a lcient 21:32:01 so like i said, a java or browser app would probably be better 21:32:41 oh, and cygwin should be avoided for the class of user i'm talking about. 21:33:35 is this a rehash of the gui toolkit discussion from earlier today? 21:33:42 no 21:33:54 but it's the reason i was asking all the questions 21:38:58 ohh, I see 21:39:14 the server would always be a linux box? 21:39:27 talilee: How about just using the ns/admin web interface that went away with 3.x but that was revived by somebody else? 21:39:28 communication over xml-rpc ? 21:39:57 talilee: That way the config thing would run on any browser with no Java crap. 21:39:57 rbm, didn't know that existed 21:40:08 rbm, where is it? 21:40:15 talilee: Oh, You didn't use AOLserver 2.x? 21:40:24 nope 21:40:56 talilee: With ns/admin you could configure all of AOLserver and its modules. It has excellent help, even separated by novice, medium, expert. 21:41:12 rbm, that's cool 21:41:21 sounds like what i'm looking for 21:41:29 talilee: I don't remember where it's at.
