Guess what I've done now?
02:55:47 [AaronSw]
I'm not sure I want to know.
02:55:55 [sbp]
Hint: it's my hobby
02:56:30 [AaronSw]
You've learned to play "Death of the prince nodes" on guitar?
02:57:03 [sbp]
Not yet. I learned to play the "Wind Cries Mary" solo, but that's not the thing
02:57:12 [sbp]
[It's a good thing though]
02:57:51 [AaronSw]
Hmm, I don't know.
02:57:58 [AaronSw]

02:58:15 [sbp]
Oh come on, I've done it about 10 times in the last week
02:58:29 [AaronSw`]
No! It can't be! Don't say...
02:58:34 [AaronSw`]
Another URN Scheme!!!
02:58:42 [AaronSw`]
AaronSw` is now known as AaronSw
02:59:12 [sbp]
Better, another URI scheme!!!
02:59:20 [AaronSw]

Movie I went to see: http://us.imdb.com/Title?0256524
03:00:15 [AaronSw]
(courtesy of DTRT)
03:00:31 [sbp]
Well, I might register this one, but it's a bit more complicated than the others, and I haven't thought of a name for it yet
03:00:55 [sbp]
Oh, it's a "x Of The x" type movie
03:01:12 [sbp]
Ah, Woody Allen
03:01:17 [AaronSw]
heheh, x of the x
03:01:43 [AaronSw]
It was pretty good, I thought.
03:02:15 [sbp]
Cool
03:12:54 [sbp]
Seven gherkins
03:13:05 [sbp]
Oh, sorry... wrong channel
03:13:07 [AaronSw]
gherkins?
03:14:06 [sbp]
yes, gherkins
03:15:00 [AaronSw]
hmz
03:16:11 [sbp]

03:16:19 [AaronSw]
What are gherkins?
03:17:51 [sbp]

How does one decode %HH values in URIs in Python?
03:52:53 [deltab]
urllib.unquote
03:53:09 [sbp]
cheers Aaron
03:53:14 [sbp]
oh! deltab
03:53:17 [AaronSw]
Heheh.
03:53:20 [deltab]
hehe
03:53:21 [sbp]
:-)
03:53:27 [AaronSw]
Thanks deltab, I was using binascii.hex_b2a()
03:53:39 [sbp]
I was doing it manually
03:53:40 [deltab]
?!
03:53:48 [sbp]
* sbp gives deltab a pat on the back
03:53:50 [AaronSw]
Deltab gets so little appreciation from us... we need to throw him a part or something.
03:53:54 [AaronSw]
err party
03:54:04 [sbp]
I agree
03:54:09 [AaronSw]
AaronSw has changed the topic to: Official deltab Appreciation Day
03:54:17 [deltab]
haha
03:55:02 [sbp]
heh, interesting:-
03:55:03 [sbp]
[[[
03:55:03 [sbp]
unquote(string)
03:55:03 [sbp]
Replace "%xx" escapes by their single-character equivalent.
03:55:03 [sbp]
Example: unquote('/%7Econnolly/') yields '/~connolly/'.
03:55:05 [sbp]
]]]
03:55:09 [sbp]
from the Python manual!
03:55:16 [AaronSw]
Dan is everywhere!
03:55:24 [sbp]
scary
03:55:47 [sbp]
it should be /%7Edeltab/ anyway; it's deltab Appreciation Day
03:56:53 [AaronSw]
Hmm, what's your website, deltab?
03:56:59 [sbp]
* sbp adds the all important line to his CGI and...
03:57:14 [sbp]
crap, it doesn't filter out the CRs
03:57:17 [AaronSw]
Hmm, googling for "Daniel Biddle" finds a lot of times Daniels helped out on W3C lists.
03:57:42 [deltab]
oh? hmm
03:57:57 [sbp]
self.sig = string.replace(urllib.unquote(m[1]),'\r','')
03:58:01 [deltab]
no website for me - too busy running other people's
03:58:08 [AaronSw]
heheh

AaronSw has changed the topic to: The Daniel Biddle mystery: got Website? | Part of Daniel Biddle Appreciation Day
04:02:49 [deltab]
I don't have a website of my own, really
04:05:10 [AaronSw]
Not even anything close?
04:05:28 [sbp]
* sbp tries to learn INTERCAL
04:05:34 [AaronSw]
LOL
04:06:20 [sbp]
Hmm... I've got a small bit of code, but I can't run it
04:06:30 [sbp]
the manual is of little help
04:06:41 [sbp]
it seems to get stuck on the COME FROM loop
04:06:59 [deltab]
maybe you need to add PLEASE WORK
04:07:43 [sbp]
Hmm... good idea
04:08:53 [sbp]
Nope, still doesn't work. Crap
04:09:01 [sbp]
I'll stick with Python
04:09:23 [deltab]
I didn't think doing it would actually work
04:12:37 [sbp]
Hmm... perhaps I'll move onto befunge. Now that kicks-ass: a 2-D programming language?
04:13:21 [deltab]
yeah!
04:14:57 [sbp]
Can't find the documentation though...
04:15:17 [deltab]
where did you look?
04:16:16 [sbp]
on the befunge site
04:16:49 [sbp]
http://www.catseye.mb.ca/esoteric/befunge/93/index.html
04:17:09 [deltab]
that's the site I'd look on :-)

Hello
20:35:18 [AaronSw]
We keep trying to dial you in.
20:35:20 [sbp]
Hi!
20:35:32 [sbp]
O.K., are you still able to dial me in? As soon as I get off of IRC, can you try again?
20:35:39 [AaronSw]
http://www.w3.org/1998/12/bridge/dialout.php3
20:35:41 [AaronSw]
Sure.
20:35:46 [sbp]
It's just silent when I get dialled in, and then it takes ages o hang up
20:35:53 [sbp]
O.K., 1... 2... 3...
20:35:56 [sbp]

Hi Sean!
21:37:29 [sbp]
Hi!
21:37:31 [sbp]
the code: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-wai-pf/2001JulSep/0601
21:37:45 [AaronSw]
cool
21:37:55 [AaronSw]
<xover> I intend to ask Kynn, sbp, and/or the WAI-IG, to do a thorough Accesibility review of the Validator at some point.
21:38:09 [sbp]
neat
21:38:21 [AaronSw]
LOL, that's befunge-93!
21:38:22 [sbp]
* sbp welcomes the new "tag:" URI draft...
21:38:32 [AaronSw]
That code is absolutely hilarious.
21:38:33 [sbp]
yep
21:38:38 [sbp]
It works, too!
21:38:38 [AaronSw]
Can you put it somewhere public?
21:38:52 [sbp]
I will send it to www-archive/Sandro/Tim in a while
21:39:02 [AaronSw]
Cool!
21:39:11 [AaronSw]
Hey, I didn't say all good programs have comments!
21:40:16 [sbp]
Oops, true...
21:41:12 [AaronSw]
I guess I'll have to respond...
21:42:47 [AaronSw]
done
21:51:31 [sbp]
* sbp sends his code to www-archive
22:04:14 [sbp]
Hmm... it's quite neat though; only 8 lines of source. The Python version is quite a bit longer
22:04:25 [sbp]
of course, the Python version is actually readable too
22:10:06 [AaronSw]
Yes.

julian bond wants me to setup ampheta as a competitor to radio
23:05:21 [AaronSw]
That's quite interesting.
23:05:24 [AaronSw]
Your thoughts?
23:05:50 [Morbus]
i told him that i don't see that happening any time soon
23:07:24 [AaronSw]
hmz
23:08:34 [Morbus]
i dunno. what dya think? i got tons of other stuff to do instead
23:12:02 [AaronSw]
I'm all for 2-way stuff, I think we really need it.
23:12:05 [AaronSw]
But your time is yours.
23:13:47 [Morbus]
at least right now, i feel like i have a lot of minor user things to fiddle with before I can start working on two way. i mean, i just moved tons of crap from the todo list into a "after 1.0" column so that I could hurry up and get one done.
23:13:56 [Morbus]
ampheta's been grabbed about 12,000 times now
23:14:26 [AaronSw]
wow
23:16:24 [Morbus]
the sf stats are up to around 8500, but i stupidly removed earlier versions, and the stats with htem disappeared. all the downloads siphon through sf eventually
23:29:44 [AaronSw]
That's pretty cool.
23:30:19 [Morbus]
yah. now i'm justtrying to catch up on email. then i gotta work on some other crap. i doubt i'll even touch ampheta this week.
