- * sbp downloads IE6... again!
- 02:56:00 [AaronSw]
- BSXN? How different from RELAX's non-XML syntax?
- 02:56:32 [sbp]
- Aaaaaargh! Someone found my little secret
- 02:56:44 [sbp]
- RELAX's non-XML syntax, dunno
- 02:57:02 [sbp]
- I think you mean BXSN, BTW
- 02:57:21 [AaronSw]
- Yeah.
- 02:57:38 [AaronSw]
- Clark (?) did a RELAX non-XML for RDF.
- 02:57:49 [AaronSw]
- Looked pretty good, and it passed most test cases, apparently.
- 02:58:01 [AaronSw]
- Woohoo, http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/seybold_01/ is up.
- 02:58:06 [AaronSw]
- Why wasn't that there when I was looking for it?
- 02:58:34 [sbp]
- Do you have the URI for that Clark thing? I think I came across it...
- 02:58:52 [AaronSw]
- It's in www-rdf-comments somewher...
- 03:00:28 [AaronSw]
- Heh: "Due to the recent events we've had to make some changes in our program... I was supposed to be introducing Steve Jobs live via satellite from Paris, France... I hope you won't be too disappointed if I introduce Steve Jobs live via Stage Right." <crowd goes wild>
- 03:01:10 [sbp]
- lol
- 03:01:26 [AaronSw]
- sbp, RELAX is at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-comments/2001JulSep/0238.html
- 03:01:31 [AaronSw]
- and the resulting thread
- 03:02:00 [sbp]
- cheers
- 03:02:23 [sbp]
- ah, it's working...
- 03:02:42 [AaronSw]
- what is?
- 03:03:01 [sbp]
- Oh... IE6
- 03:03:05 [sbp]
- er... IE5.5
- 03:03:16 [sbp]
- it got stuck for some reason a second ago :-)
- 03:03:49 [sbp]
- Oh dear, it does seem quite similar to BXSN
- 03:04:39 [sbp]
- Hmm... something keeps beeping...
- 03:05:30 [sbp]
- Man, it's bugging the crap out of me. Where's it coming from?
- 03:06:38 [sbp]
- It sounds like a very, very, quiet telephone
- 03:06:48 [AaronSw]
- hmm, PM sound?
- 03:07:07 [sbp]
- PM?
- 03:07:17 [AaronSw]
- Private Message
- 03:07:26 [sbp]
- my speaker's off...
- 03:08:52 [AaronSw]
- Sheesh, people actually think the attacks in NYC is an excuse to spam me! Grrr.
- 03:11:31 [AaronSw]
- Heh, em copied large chunks from Semantic Web In Breadth into http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-comments/2001JulSep/0238.html
- 03:12:36 [sbp]
- Heh, that beeping was the 'phone saying that it needed to be recharged
- 03:12:42 [AaronSw]
- heh
- 03:19:12 [AaronSw]
- From #rdfprimer:

- <em> +sean
- 03:19:15 [AaronSw]
- <em> lol!
- 03:19:18 [AaronSw]
- What was so funny?
- 03:20:24 [sbp]
- Hmm... I dunno. I made a few jokes though. Where's the transcript?
- 03:20:28 [sbp]
- is it online?
- 03:20:45 [AaronSw]
- Yeah... http://ilrt.org/discovery/chatlogs/rdfprimer/ should have it
- 03:21:13 [AaronSw]
- Wanna share the jokes? (Eric didn't log them... hmmph, I always log jokes that make fun of _him_!)
- 03:21:36 [sbp]
- Hmm... I'm not sure if I remember them...
- 03:22:04 [sbp]
- One was where we were talking about putting in a section about how to gain financially from RDF
- 03:22:10 [sbp]
- (Guess who started that)
- 03:22:29 [AaronSw]
- Ora?
- 03:22:40 [sbp]
- And I said, "actually, if we did rename the primer 'How To Make Money With RDF', at least we'd get a lot more people reading it"
- 03:22:46 [sbp]
- Ora: of course
- 03:22:53 [AaronSw]
- Heh!
- 03:23:07 [AaronSw]
- "How to Make Money on the Internet" would do even better!
- 03:23:25 [sbp]
- Yeah :-) We could start sending RDF spam
- 03:23:34 [AaronSw]
- Hmm, it was a short telecon.
- 03:23:50 [sbp]
- About 1:18
- 03:24:07 [sbp]
- It was great hearing them all!
- 03:24:22 [AaronSw]
- Yeah, I bet. You guys will have to repeat it for me! :)
- 03:24:29 [sbp]
- :-)
- 03:24:40 [AaronSw]
- To the word!
- 03:24:46 [AaronSw]
- I suppose you didn't record it for me... :(
- 03:24:55 [sbp]
- I started, but gave up
- 03:25:03 [AaronSw]
- Really?
- 03:25:11 [sbp]
- Yeah
- 03:25:16 [AaronSw]
- I was going to set up an automated system to dial-in and record it into MP3, but didn't have time to set it up
- 03:25:20 [sbp]
- I figured someone else would be doing it
- 03:25:29 [sbp]
- wow, that'd be great
- 03:25:34 [sbp]
- Gotta run

- Cool new logo, too
- 03:40:32 [AaronSw]
- 5.1/OSX has a new logo too...
- 03:40:42 [AaronSw]

- Whoo, Tony Hawk. This is getting to be a good keynote. :)
- 03:52:29 [sbp]
- Tony who?
- 03:52:45 [AaronSw]
- Tony Hawk! .. Famous skateboarder.
- 03:52:51 [AaronSw]
- Ooh, and the Monsters, Inc. Trailer.
- 03:53:04 [sbp]
- Oh, of course!
- 03:53:08 [AaronSw]
- Heh: "Did you lose weight? ... Or a limb?"
- 04:04:29 [AaronSw]
- Whoo, Sal Sagoian!!! Yes!
- 04:06:26 [AaronSw]
- Cool, there's Tcl OSA... Didn't know that.
- 04:07:13 [AaronSw]
- Wow, resizing straight from browser and reloading... I need that!
- 04:09:51 [AaronSw]
- Wow, Sal's stuff is awesome!
- 04:10:30 [AaronSw]
- He's using a public SOAP service to do temperature based queries and update an SVG map with the proper colors in relation to the current temperatures!
- 04:14:48 [AaronSw]
- Sal rocks the house, man!
- 04:14:53 [AaronSw]
- Go Sal!
- 04:15:08 [sbp]
- Sal?
- 04:15:17 [AaronSw]
- Sal Sagoian, AppleScript Guru
- 04:15:27 [AaronSw]
- He's the guy who understands bringing systems and products together.
- 04:15:31 [AaronSw]
- The stuff he does is incredible.
- 04:16:09 [AaronSw]
- He just did a demo where he made a real-estate brochure by pulling data out of a database, reformatting it into paragraphs, sticking it into a publishing template, grabbing relevant folders out of a photo, resize them, scale them and put them in place...
- 04:16:16 [AaronSw]
- All of this was scripted and done at the click of a button!
- 04:17:00 [sbp]
- wow
- 04:18:58 [AaronSw]
- He had another demo where he was manipulating an on-disk news-page from aggregated RSS feeds using only a speech interface.
- 04:19:11 [AaronSw]
- Only on a Mac, baby!
- 04:19:21 [AaronSw]
- And you can do this all from Python now: http://wmf.editthispage.com/discuss/msgReader$5823
- 04:19:34 [AaronSw]
- Plus, by the end of this year you should be able to give it a full Macintosh UI!

- Mac OS X is the only OS that makes me shiver with excitement! Apple is still incredible...
- 04:29:13 [sbp]
- I'll bet it's not all that configurable
- 04:29:21 [AaronSw]
- Sure it is!
- 04:29:30 [AaronSw]
- Totally configurable -- Mac users insist it.
- 04:30:07 [sbp]
- O.K., can you make all of the files display as partial path names in a folder?
- 04:31:08 [AaronSw]
- Partial path names?
- 04:31:29 [AaronSw]
- Like you want to see all the files in your hard drive in a big list?
- 04:31:33 [AaronSw]
- Sure, you can do that.
- 04:31:38 [sbp]
- yeah. So in folder /a/, /a/b/c/ displays as "b/c/" and so on
- 04:31:50 [AaronSw]
- Oh, I see.
- 04:31:53 [AaronSw]
- Hmm...
- 04:31:56 [sbp]
- but, as files in that directory
- 04:32:08 [sbp]
- that'd be pretty cool... I've always wanted that
- 04:32:17 [sbp]
- but just for some directories
- 04:32:25 [AaronSw]
- Hmm, perhaps send in a feature request: http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/
- 04:32:33 [sbp]
- can you imagine it for just the hard drive! Eek
- 04:32:33 [AaronSw]
- I can't think of how to do that.
- 04:32:38 [AaronSw]
- Heh!
- 04:32:46 [AaronSw]
- Well, you can do it as an outline view.
- 04:32:51 [AaronSw]
- just pop open all the folder boxes...
- 04:33:00 [AaronSw]
- I suppose you can do that on Windows too.
- 04:33:14 [sbp]
- yep
- 04:33:22 [sbp]
- just do a search, or whatever
- 04:33:30 [sbp]
- display in list form...
- 04:34:22 [AaronSw]
- Or pop open the terminal and do a find .
- 04:34:34 [AaronSw]
- Oh, I guess you can't do that in Windows. ;)
- 04:34:56 [sbp]
- terminal?
- 04:35:49 [AaronSw]
- Yeah, Terminal in Mac OS X -- just pop open a standatd UNIX Terminal.

- Indeed.

- Wow: "in Germany, where scanners are artificially slowed with special drivers so that they do not fall under the photocopier category -- which would incur higher royalties -- I do not make this up"
- 04:51:59 [sbp]
- That has to be the rudest possible thing to do on IRC; to fuck up someone's quote deeley. It's the equivalent of getting on a table and waving your arse in the air during a board meeting

- 19:34:53 [AaronSw]
- implement: well, that's your fault!
- 19:35:15 [sbp]
- I thought it was a good idea, but it's really hard to store everything as URIs/remain location independent etc.
- 19:35:41 [sbp]
- and I only thought of it for a server... the Internet is quite a few stages on from that!
- 19:35:50 [AaronSw]

- * sbp tries to find the notes through FTP

- 19:36:52 [sbp]
- Not technically hard, politically

- 21:10:56 [sbp]
- I have no objections to the "dt:" URI scheme
- 21:11:43 [sbp]
- But that doesn't mean that we should...
- 21:11:59 [sbp]
- I guess you've seen Jan Grant's rantings about literals, and Bijan's conversations on #rdfig
- 21:12:16 [AaronSw]
- And Sandro's too
- 21:12:39 [AaronSw]
- Maybe the best idea is to give every character a URI and log:concat them?
- 21:12:46 [AaronSw]
- ;)
- 21:14:19 [sbp]
- that's a very good idea
- 21:14:32 [sbp]
- people will love doing that... they could make a game out of it
- 21:14:50 [AaronSw]
- Just imagine how clean it would look in RDF/XML!
- 21:15:13 [sbp]
- [ log:uri [ log:concat ("h" "t" "t" "p" ":" "/" "/" "w" "w" "w" "." "w" "3" "." "o" "r" "g" "/") ] .
- 21:16:18 [AaronSw]
- Oh, no... you can't have literals like that.
- 21:16:27 [AaronSw]
- s/"h"/l:h/
- 21:16:45 [sbp]
- s/./] .
- 21:16:52 [sbp]

- 21:34:31 [sbp]
- Hi logster! How are you today?
- 21:34:55 [sbp]
- Collages with paper tissue are always pretty stupid
- 21:35:09 [sbp]
- Oh, sorry... colleges...
- 21:36:11 [AaronSw]
- Use PGP people: "As another deterrent, some classrooms at Bentley have technology that allows teachers to capture a student's e-mails or instant messages and display them on a large screen for the whole class to see."
- 21:36:30 [sbp]
- Eek

- Heh, I love it when Web specs now redirect to porno sites.
- 21:47:51 [AaronSw]
- Especially if they're namespaces too.

- Woe, chas sent me a big long patch to my "Semantic Web in Breadth"
- 21:49:53 [sbp]
- Heh: ``Faculty members were finding students surfing the Net, sending instant messages, even looking at porn in some of the freshman intro classes,'' said Phillip Knutel, Bentley's director of academic technology.

- Chas. F Munat?
- 21:50:08 [AaronSw]
- Yeah.
- 21:50:18 [AaronSw]
- "I did not use PUT to update the page directly because I thought you'd better check this for accuracy first. I am a good writer, but my knowledge of the SW is spotty. Make sure I didn't screw anything up before you use this."
- 21:51:12 [sbp]
- Have you incd. the changes?
- 21:51:28 [AaronSw]
- Not yet.
- 21:51:42 [AaronSw]
- So does JosD work in Belguim?
- 21:51:53 [sbp]
- Dunno; I guess so
- 21:52:09 [sbp]
- Well, he probably works in Belgium rather than Belguim
- 21:52:23 [AaronSw]
- Right.
- 21:52:32 [sbp]
- less far to commute
- 21:52:36 [AaronSw]
- And Scott sent in four Peerkat patches -- this is my lucky day, eh?
- 21:52:50 [AaronSw]
- No way I'll be able to commit all this stuff before Shabbat starts.
- 21:52:54 [sbp]
- AaronSw, you've just won $1,000,000!
- 21:53:11 [AaronSw]
- Sorry, no can do, sbp -- I've got to commit these patches first.
- 21:53:14 [sbp]

- 21:54:21 [AaronSw]
- A joke to cheer me up:
- 21:54:21 [AaronSw]
- From the MacIE list: "'eventually' = after the Web and Win teams are done playing foosball with
- 21:54:21 [AaronSw]
- the bug reports, they will eventually make it to the Mac team in a badly crumpled form."
- 21:54:26 [sbp]
- Can I really PUT to logicerror.com or wherever?
- 21:54:36 [AaronSw]
- No. At least I don't think so.
- 21:54:43 [sbp]
- good
- 21:54:46 [AaronSw]
- Want to try it on /test
- 21:54:47 [AaronSw]

- sure...
- 21:55:40 [sbp]
- Ooh! Amaya crashed
- 21:56:07 [AaronSw]
- I hate it when I get Bible spam. Wasn't thou shalt not spam one of the commandments?
- 21:56:16 [sbp]
- er...
- 21:56:37 [sbp]
- ooh, it worked! It must have saved and then crashed
- 21:56:38 [sbp]
- http://logicerror.com/test
- 21:56:44 [sbp]
- cool, I can wreak havoc now...
- 21:56:52 [AaronSw]
- Are you serious? Ugh...
- 21:57:02 [AaronSw]
- I wonder who's been busy PUTing random things.
- 21:57:10 [sbp]
- :-)
- 21:57:19 [AaronSw]
- You? I knew it!
- 21:58:08 [sbp]
- Nah, I only just found out that I could do it
- 21:58:13 [sbp]
- but now that I have...
- 21:58:47 [sbp]
- how much does it fuck the server up to do it?
- 21:59:06 [AaronSw]
- Don't you hate it when you leave permissions-checking code commented out?
- 21:59:06 [sbp]
- I mean, the relative links don't go, I guess...
- 21:59:11 [sbp]
- lol
- 21:59:22 [AaronSw]
- What do you mean? To do what?
- 21:59:50 [sbp]
- to PUT to the server
- 22:00:01 [AaronSw]
- It doesn't mess with the server at all.
- 22:00:09 [AaronSw]
- Ok, I think things are fixed now: http://logicerror.com/test
- 22:00:09 [sbp]
- ah, that's good
- 22:00:58 [AaronSw]
- Will you go for the $10,000,000 prize?
- 22:01:09 [sbp]
- * sbp is going for it...
- 22:01:17 [sbp]
- ah, crud
- 22:02:20 [sbp]
- well, I'm getting a new version of Amaya. This one crashes when you PUT!
- 22:02:31 [AaronSw]
- Heh, what's up with that?
- 22:03:04 [sbp]
- Well, it's Amaya, isn't it?
- 22:03:16 [AaronSw]
- Yeah -- I even filed a bug report on the subject.
- 22:03:22 [AaronSw]
- They said my server was screwed up!
- 22:03:24 [sbp]
- cool
- 22:03:24 [AaronSw]
- What's up with that?
- 22:03:28 [sbp]
- Heh, heh, heh
- 22:03:30 [AaronSw]
- I'm returning a valid response!
- 22:03:41 [AaronSw]
- Nobody said redirects weren't legal responses to a PUT!
- 22:04:42 [AaronSw]
- I dunno, maybe somebody did. But if they did, they were wrong!
- 22:05:14 [sbp]
- Tut, tut
- 22:05:23 [sbp]
- Why can't you just be like everyone else, eh?
- 22:05:40 [AaronSw]
- And return a what? No Content. How boring!
- 22:05:51 [AaronSw]
- I mean, it sounds like an error: No Content.
- 22:05:59 [AaronSw]
- I have content, you blasted buggy browser!
