- 02:37:51 [AaronSw]
- Aww, I missed Powers of 10 day. http://www.powersof10.com/p10_day/p102001.html

- sbp has joined #swhack
- 03:15:47 [sbp]
- Good idea, Aaron
- 03:16:00 [AaronSw]
- Ah, re the www-archive?
- 03:16:06 [sbp]
- yep :-)
- 03:16:20 [AaronSw]
- I talked to my contact at Google, but she said she was too lazy to deal with it today, and the only thing she could suggest was to get more links to it.
- 03:16:26 [AaronSw]
- Why don't you put a link on your homepage?
- 03:16:41 [sbp]
- ah, now you come to mention that :-)
- 03:16:48 [sbp]
- I don't think Google
- 03:17:01 [sbp]
- Google's updated my homepage for a while either, has it?
- 03:17:42 [AaronSw]
- Well, quick then you'll be able to get it into the next update.
- 03:17:47 [sbp]
- Hmm... it's on v 1.16, I'm on 1.17
- 03:18:02 [sbp]
- yeah, I'm just writing out the new homepage now!
- 03:18:08 [sbp]
- I'll give you a sneak preview...
- 03:19:06 [AaronSw]
- Ooh.
- 03:19:26 [AaronSw]
- what's with the blue sidebar?
- 03:19:45 [sbp]
- they're there to denote sections
- 03:19:51 [AaronSw]
- And I'm disorieted without a big H1 at the top
- 03:19:56 [sbp]
- woo!
- 03:20:04 [sbp]
- me too
- 03:20:19 [AaronSw]
- And the "* ..." stuff seems like such an abuse of markup.
- 03:20:51 [sbp]
- not sure. I tried it with CSS, but then became aware that it didn't gracefully transform
- 03:21:21 [sbp]
- OTOH, I've been saying that the "graceful transformation" test is an anachronism lately
- 03:21:43 [AaronSw]
- No music stuff?
- 03:21:43 [sbp]
- I just like the asterisk better than the blob
- 03:22:00 [sbp]
- there is music stuff!
- 03:22:11 [AaronSw]
- Ahh, there it is
- 03:22:16 [sbp]
- :-)
- 03:23:03 [AaronSw]
- No phenomics.
- 03:23:15 [sbp]
- not *yet*
- 03:23:33 [sbp]
- I may put it next to colloquial
- 03:24:08 [sbp]
- there are some good little jokes developing in there
- 03:24:13 [AaronSw]
- Yes, that'd be a good place for it.
- 03:24:24 [sbp]
- like: Am I the only person in the world to whom "asinus asinum fricat" sounds like some bizarre kind of foreplay?
- 03:24:49 [AaronSw]
- Yeah, that got me googling.
- 03:25:35 [sbp]
- Semper ubi sub ubi
- 03:26:25 [sbp]
- ah, should that be "who" or "whom"?
- 03:28:20 [AaronSw]
- whom, I think
- 03:28:52 [sbp]
- er... am I the object of "sounds"?
- 03:30:01 [sbp]
- that very question is flawed
- 03:30:12 [sbp]
- whom will do
- 03:30:45 [AaronSw]
- In modern english who is always appropriate. ;)
- 03:31:16 [sbp]
- really?
- 03:32:10 [AaronSw]
- Yeah, whom is dead.
- 03:32:29 [AaronSw]
- [[[

- I usually read "who" objectively, so I cannot be sure
- 03:36:27 [sbp]
- Confused is the person upon whom this afflication beplagues
- 03:36:33 [sbp]
- er... afflication
- 03:36:40 [sbp]
- Confused is the person upon who this affliction beplagues
- 03:37:12 [AaronSw]
- Ah, here is the xena code: http://cvs.espra.net/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/creature/
- 03:37:30 [sbp]
- the latter reads: the person who is beplagued by this afflication is confused
- 03:38:05 [sbp]
- the former reads: the person who beplagued this afflication is confused
- 03:38:10 [sbp]
- heh, that's not right
- 03:39:04 [sbp]
- well, smeg that
- 03:39:10 [sbp]
- Gotta run
- 03:39:25 [AaronSw]
- c'ya
- 03:39:32 [AaronSw]
- Do you have a special key sequence for that?
- 03:39:37 [AaronSw]
- You always write it the same way,
- 03:39:48 [AaronSw]
- never all lower case, or capitalizing the R or ending with a period
- 03:42:10 [sbp]
- sbp has quit

- Solutions don't need to make sense, they just need to work.
- 03:50:18 [sbp]
- sbp has joined #swhack
- 03:50:40 [sbp]
- <sbp> ah, should that be "who" or "whom"?
- 03:50:42 [sbp]
- <AaronSw> whom, I think
- 03:50:44 [sbp]
- nope, it's "who"!
- 03:50:51 [sbp]
- I just mastered the art of reading "whom" objectively
- 03:50:54 [AaronSw]
- says whom?
- 03:51:03 [AaronSw]
- ;)
- 03:52:10 [sbp]
- I kept reading "the person whom x y" as "the person *whom* *x* *y*" rather than "*the* *person* whom x y"
- 03:52:12 [sbp]
- :-)
- 03:52:42 [AaronSw]
- That makes no sense to me whatsoever, but good for you. :-)
- 03:53:16 [AaronSw]
- Ooh, Zope has a featured article: Using Zope with Amaya, etc.:
- 03:53:16 [AaronSw]
- http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Articles/ZPT3
- 03:54:27 [sbp]
- actually, I think I screwed that up
- 03:54:36 [sbp]
- * sbp goes back to the drawing board
- 03:54:40 [sbp]
- c'ya
- 03:55:14 [AaronSw]
- But wait, I have a Pre-Approval for $5,000 in Gold Credit!
- 03:55:17 [AaronSw]

- Maybe if we all ask very nicely... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/syndic8/message/256
- 04:02:39 [sbp]
- sbp has joined #swhack
- 04:02:59 [sbp]
- It turns out that "whom" is indeed correct, and that if I used "who", it would
- 04:03:01 [sbp]
- mean that I sound like some bizarre kind of foreplay to a latin phrase.
- 04:03:07 [sbp]
- which might actually be funnier, but still
- 04:03:18 [sbp]
- whom am I kidding, eh?
- 04:03:20 [AaronSw]
- Heheh.
- 04:03:32 [AaronSw]
- What'd I tell you.
- 04:04:03 [sbp]
- you told me that "whom" is probably correct, but to use "who" anyway. You were exactly right, but for the wrong reason
- 04:04:21 [AaronSw]
- How do you know?
- 04:04:34 [sbp]
- well, actually, it was the right reason, but not from my point of view, which is to make the thing funny
- 04:05:08 [AaronSw]
- You've spent way too long on this and you know, nobody will notice. ;-)
- 04:05:25 [sbp]
- yeah... oh well
- 04:05:50 [AaronSw]
- Hehe, that makes it funnier.
- 04:05:57 [sbp]
- :-)
- 04:06:23 [sbp]
- so, am I going to use "who" or "whom"... Hmm... dunno. Perhaps I could do a random choice thing with ASP?
- 04:06:41 [AaronSw]
- Heheh.
- 04:06:42 [sbp]
- that'd be really confusing
- 04:07:19 [sbp]
- anyway, I should go to bed before the Sun does its traditional risy thing
- 04:07:57 [sbp]
- c'ya
- 04:08:04 [AaronSw]

- hey
- 18:42:19 [AaronSw]
- Know of any good backup programs for OS X.
- 18:42:41 [Morbus]
- nope. there's a disccusion on osx@perl.org concerning a perl backup program. but i don't backup. i cd-r every month. shrugs.
- 18:52:12 [Morbus]
- ooh, the new tabbed iface in mozilla is nice.
- 19:46:05 [sbp]
- sbp has joined #swhack
- 19:47:56 [AaronSw]
- hi sbp
- 19:48:38 [sbp]
- hi there
- 19:50:02 [Morbus]
- my spam filters are doing good.
- 19:50:15 [Morbus]
- 1277 blocked this weekend, only 5 fositives.
- 19:50:28 [Morbus]
- i think i've made up a word: fositives. i've never heard that before.
- 19:51:09 [sbp]
- hey, that's cool!
- 19:51:10 [AaronSw]
- Hehe, I was just about to say that.
- 19:51:12 [AaronSw]
- It's a good word.
- 19:51:30 [Morbus]
- we must evangelize fositives! <g>
- 19:52:43 [AaronSw]
- Ooh, new Tom Mabe album out.
- 19:52:54 [Morbus]
- ? what's he like?
- 19:53:05 [AaronSw]
- He teases telemarketers and records it.
- 19:53:21 [AaronSw]
- Samples: http://www.tommabe.com/album.php
- 19:53:27 [Morbus]
- ah.
- 19:53:31 [Morbus]
- no sound card at work ;)
- 19:53:44 [AaronSw]
- Aww, poor Morby. ;)
- 19:53:57 [Morbus]
- hehe.
- 19:55:17 [Morbus]
- syncassaurus is doing good. dunno if i'll make it in time though.
- 19:56:04 [AaronSw]
- Hmm... tick, tick, tick
- 19:56:25 [Morbus]
- i know, 15 days :(
- 19:57:22 [AaronSw]
- * AaronSw buys some RAM
- 19:57:28 [Morbus]
- i heard crucial ram was good.
- 19:57:39 [AaronSw]
- How funny! That's where I bought it from.
- 19:57:45 [Morbus]
- wow!
- 19:57:56 [Morbus]
- that's some metaphysical joojoo right there
- 19:58:04 [AaronSw]
- No kidding.
- 19:58:46 [sbp]
- sbp has quit
- 20:00:24 [Morbus]
- ooh. new spolsky article.
- 20:00:45 [AaronSw]
- Yeah, Spolsky yet again defies common wisdom!
- 20:00:47 [AaronSw]
- :-)
- 20:01:10 [AaronSw]
- Hmm, this "Wearing and Tearing" is quite good!
- 20:01:18 [Morbus]
- hehehehe.
- 20:01:58 [AaronSw]
- Hmm, this looks like a good story: http://www.dnalounge.com/backstage/webcasting.html
- 20:02:04 [Morbus]
- i fall into the not invented here syndrome an awful lot actually.
- 20:02:08 [Morbus]
- i want to remake everythng in my image ;)
- 20:02:51 [AaronSw]
- Heheh.
- 20:03:10 [AaronSw]
- Looking at the list of modules AmphetaDesk needs, I find that hard to believe.
- 20:03:19 [AaronSw]
- ;-)
- 20:03:23 [Morbus]
- bwahaha.
- 20:03:41 [Morbus]
- well, you know, funny thing, cos I rewrote LWP::Simple, and did my own http daemon instead of using HTTP::Daemon ;)
- 20:04:21 [Morbus]
- LWP::Simple I had to though for compilation on Mac's. and i did my own webserver "cos i wanted to learn how"... in a future version of ampheta, we'll be ripping my code out to use http::daemon, and multithread it
- 20:04:54 [AaronSw]
- Heheh.
- 20:08:13 [Morbus]
- i actually kinda agree with spolsky this time.
- 20:08:22 [Morbus]
- i rolled my own RSS parser instead of using xml::rss.
- 20:08:23 [AaronSw]
- Yeah, but he hyped it more than what he said.
- 20:08:29 [Morbus]
- written by rael.
- 20:08:44 [AaronSw]
- no... just hacked by him
- 20:08:52 [AaronSw]
- it really needs to be rewritten, as he's said multiple times
- 20:08:56 [AaronSw]
- but he hasn't had the time to do it
- 20:09:12 [Morbus]
- phone
- 20:12:24 [Morbus]
- yeah, i hacked one together using xml::simple, since that's what i was using with my config files and scriptingNews.
- 20:12:42 [Morbus]
- gives me more finer grain control of course. last i knew, xml::rss stripped out all html within tags
- 20:14:42 [Morbus]
- aaron, this looks good: http://www.mindlube.com/screenshots/slacker.html
- 20:15:55 [AaronSw]
- Oh, that does look cool.
- 20:17:01 [Morbus]
- shareware too.
- 20:18:46 [AaronSw]
- What's this mayacal?
- 20:19:01 [AaronSw]
- Oh, a Maya Calendar?
- 20:19:07 [Morbus]
- i have the maya screensaver.
- 20:19:24 [Morbus]
- but that's a different maya ;)
- 20:19:32 [AaronSw]
- I don't have much of a need for dates in Maya, but still it looks cool. ;)
- 20:19:45 [Morbus]
- hehe
- 20:20:22 [Morbus]
- i dunno what the shareware restriction is on slacker. haven't had a chance to dl it yet.
- 20:20:30 [Morbus]
- grabbed the latest mozilla for osx, and it wouldn't decompress. sigh.
- 20:20:55 [AaronSw]
- :(
- 20:21:02 [AaronSw]
- * AaronSw mounts Slacker
- 20:21:04 [Morbus]
- the new tabbed interface is nice :)
- 20:21:10 [Morbus]
- yeah, lemme know what the shareware thingy is.
- 20:21:17 [Morbus]
- or your thoughts/impression.
- 20:21:23 [AaronSw]
- Hmm seems to be stuck
- 20:21:30 [Morbus]
- i like the built in date thing on slacker. that would push me over when comparing oo and it.
- 20:21:32 [AaronSw]
- Disk Copy, that is... oh never mind
- 20:22:03 [deltab]
- built-in date thing?
- 20:22:20 [AaronSw]
- oo?
- 20:22:21 [Morbus]
- it looks like it allows you to say "hey, this todo item should be done by this date"
- 20:22:27 [Morbus]
- and then it would flag it if it's overdo.
- 20:22:29 [AaronSw]
- Heh, nice icon.
- 20:22:30 [Morbus]
- omnioutliner
- 20:22:35 [AaronSw]
- ahh
- 20:23:04 [deltab]
- hmm, why do people miss out the colon in timezones?
- 20:23:14 [AaronSw]
- I think it's a standard
- 20:23:26 [deltab]
- no, I've read the standard
- 20:23:40 [AaronSw]
- Slacker's sharewareness doesn't seem so bad... just puts up a sheet when you open the app
- 20:23:58 [AaronSw]
- I wish it would let me define repeating tasks.
- 20:24:02 [Morbus]
- can i hit "enter" or do i have to mouse to the button?
- 20:24:06 [deltab]
- there's a colon in the extended form
- 20:24:09 [Morbus]
- repeating tasks. ahhh.
- 20:24:10 [Morbus]
- <g>
- 20:24:20 [Morbus]
- i wish a lot of things would let me do repeating tasks.
- 20:24:28 [deltab]
- and the date and time are in extended form, so the timezone should be too
- 20:24:34 [AaronSw]
- To create a new task? you need the mouse
- 20:24:41 [AaronSw]
- or type command-N
- 20:24:43 [Morbus]
- no, to get rid of the shareware sheet.
- 20:24:57 [AaronSw]
- Oh... I dunno... let me quit out and comeback in
- 20:25:12 [AaronSw]
- Hmm, now it's not there.
- 20:25:27 [AaronSw]
- Perhaps it was just that once?
- 20:25:30 [deltab]
- jabber's weirder though - it has extended-form dates and basic-form times
- 20:26:19 [AaronSw]
- weird
- 20:27:24 [AaronSw]
- Ooh, ligatures.
- 20:27:51 [Morbus]
- aaron, set your date forward 30 days <g>
- 20:27:53 [AaronSw]
- Cool, a "Make Sticky Note" button.
- 20:28:00 [Morbus]
- Ooh. that's nice!
- 20:29:56 [AaronSw]
- Setting my date forward a month doesn't do anything.
- 20:33:18 [Morbus]
- huh.
- 20:33:28 [Morbus]
- well, i should try this out then.
- 20:33:40 [Morbus]
- the formats on the .todo file - proprietary? parsable? xml?
- 20:33:43 [Morbus]
- i'm being a pain, eh? ;)
- 20:34:40 [AaronSw]
- heh
- 20:35:18 [AaronSw]
- Without you, I never would have researched my purchase so much -- I just would have used it. ;)
- 20:36:14 [AaronSw]
- "foo.todo" may be a binary file. See it anyway?
- 20:36:30 [AaronSw]
- It's an object serialization...
- 20:36:53 [AaronSw]
- Probably Java.
- 20:37:31 [AaronSw]
- Heh, a completion slider... I'm 60% done.
- 20:37:33 [Morbus]
- ah. or realbasic ;)
- 20:37:41 [AaronSw]
- Oh cool! It does do periodic tasks!
- 20:37:45 [Morbus]
- it does?!
- 20:37:48 [Morbus]
- oh crap, that rocks.
- 20:37:55 [AaronSw]
- And tons of options for them!
- 20:38:03 [Morbus]
- hehe! yeah! i love options! <g>
- 20:38:08 [AaronSw]
- Heh: "often"
- 20:38:11 [AaronSw]
- Wonder what that does.
- 20:38:21 [Morbus]
- heh. "brush your teeth"... "often".
- 20:38:40 [AaronSw]
- "often (fuzzy)" actually
- 20:38:41 [AaronSw]
- :)
- 20:38:51 [Morbus]
- hehe.
- 20:40:45 [Morbus]
- no one wants fuzzy teeth.
- 20:40:54 [AaronSw]
- """Slacker is fully functional shareware. It can be registered for a small cost which will unlock the application and stop the very infrequent nag messages. Please visit http://www.mindlube.com/ for downloads, updates and purchase information."""
- 20:41:20 [Morbus]
- ah cool. i like very infrequent. infrequent is good.
- 20:41:43 [AaronSw]
- Ooh, and it creates a system service too.
- 20:42:15 [Morbus]
- this is getting better and better.
- 20:42:18 [AaronSw]
- So you can send me todo items from IRC ;)
- 20:42:30 [Morbus]
- hehehe. yeah? how's that work?
- 20:42:56 [AaronSw]
- Drag and drop text onto it or select text and go to App Menu -> Services -> Make ToDo Item
- 20:43:20 [Morbus]
- wow. nice.
- 20:47:46 [AaronSw]
- Hmm, the repeated tasks don't seem to be repeating.
- 20:59:15 [AaronSw]
- hmm, writing up my todo list in here is so depressing :(
- 21:09:34 [Morbus]
- ehheeh.
- 21:09:45 [Morbus]
- man, you should see mine. i still have stuff from a year and a half ago.
- 21:09:57 [AaronSw]
- that's all? ;)
- 21:10:17 [AaronSw]
- I started writing todo lists like two years ago, and they keep getting longer and longer that I need to create new ones.
- 21:10:22 [AaronSw]
- this is my fourth todo list
- 21:10:50 [AaronSw]
- i still have the first to complete... i'm just not interested in it anymore
- 21:10:59 [AaronSw]
- i guess that's one way to complete tasks ;)
- 21:11:12 [lilo]
- [GlobalNotice] Hi all. Services will be back up in a moment, after some splits. Please bear with us.

- 21:16:13 [AaronSw]
- Whoa, that was weird.
- 21:17:11 [AaronSw]
- AaronSw has changed the topic to: Isn't there something you should be doing right about now?

- * AaronSw checks his new todo list
- 22:01:10 [sbp]
- ah
- 22:01:26 [AaronSw]
- You could Work on the ideal RDF API
- 22:01:37 [AaronSw]
- or * Port Blogspace to Python
- 22:01:55 [sbp]
- I could also attack my own todo list, rather than yours
- 22:02:03 [sbp]
- ah, we could swap todo lists!
- 22:02:48 [sbp]
- so you can write an EARL 1.0 schema and come up with a linearized canonical form
- 22:03:03 [AaronSw]
- You don't need a schema.
- 22:03:08 [AaronSw]
- canonical form of what?
- 22:03:16 [sbp]
- don't need a schema?
- 22:06:02 [AaronSw]
- Nah, people can just look at the examples.
- 22:06:28 [AaronSw]
- * AaronSw adds "Finish sbp's todo list so he can do stuff from mine" to his todo list
- 22:06:52 [sbp]
- lol!
- 22:07:04 [sbp]
- the examples: oh, that'll be productive
- 22:07:23 [sbp]
- perhaps the HTML specification should just have been a list of examples?
- 22:08:24 [AaronSw]
- That'd be much better, IMO.
- 22:08:29 [AaronSw]
- The DTDs suck
- 22:08:33 [AaronSw]
- :-)
- 22:08:54 [sbp]
- I agree that we need more examples, but I think RDF Schemata are useful for settling issues, and there are some experiments for which I needed the schema
- 22:09:23 [AaronSw]
- Ah, fine.
- 22:10:01 [sbp]
- and the canonical version is for the same example that RSS is canonical
- 22:12:59 [AaronSw]
- Oh, why do you want that?
- 22:14:49 [sbp]
- so that people who don't know about RDF can still look at some formalism and do it
- 22:15:11 [AaronSw]
- Yick.
- 22:15:34 [sbp]
- yeah, tell me about it
- 22:17:28 [sbp]
- heh, heh: earl:name "Bob B. Bobbington"
- 22:18:30 [AaronSw]
- lol
- 22:20:20 [sbp]

- 23:25:46 [rillian]
- well, there's two other nicks here
- 23:25:59 [AaronSw]
- They were both here last time, I think.
- 23:26:03 [AaronSw]
- logster, hello
- 23:26:23 [rillian]
- my memory must be going
- 23:26:41 [rillian]
- anyway, know what's up with the zero length files in /Library/Fonts/ ?
- 23:27:04 [AaronSw]
- Well I can guess: all the data is in their Resource Fork
- 23:27:31 [AaronSw]
- which ls -l won't show you
- 23:27:36 [rillian]
- * rillian wonders what happens if you install those on a UFS partion
- 23:28:04 [rillian]
- you are correct
- 23:28:16 [AaronSw]
- Hmm, no fonts for UFS folks ;)
- 23:28:25 [rillian]
- at least no MS ttf fonts
- 23:28:28 [AaronSw]
- Actually, I think they have some system of splitting it into files for UFS partitions.
- 23:28:35 [AaronSw]
- (as well as copying to other machines, etc.
- 23:28:36 [AaronSw]
- )
- 23:28:51 [rillian]
- yeah, ok
- 23:29:04 [rillian]
- I wonder if installing gnu fileutils was a really bad idea then
- 23:29:23 [rillian]
- serve them right for not calling /bin/cp I guess
- 23:29:38 [rillian]
- second question: the devtools working for you?
- 23:29:41 [AaronSw]
- Yep.
- 23:29:50 [AaronSw]
- I think there's a replacement bin/cp that groks resource forks
- 23:30:27 [rillian]
- hmm. projectbuilder won't run for me
- 23:30:59 [rillian]
- and I get errors like '/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libSystem.dylib load command 6 unknown cmd field' on the cmdline
- 23:31:03 [AaronSw]
- You got the 10.1 version, right?
- 23:31:17 [rillian]
- yes. had some trouble installing it
- 23:31:28 [AaronSw]
- Ah, right, I remember.
- 23:31:43 [rillian]
- I'm afraid I'm going to have to wipe the thing and reinstall again
- 23:32:02 [AaronSw]
- :-(
- 23:32:05 [rillian]
- which's not supposed to be necessary on *nix, dammit
- 23:33:05 [AaronSw]
- That's a really weird error.
- 23:34:38 [AaronSw]
- Have you googled on it?
- 23:35:46 [AaronSw]
- Perhaps it's the Two-Level Namespace thing?
- 23:37:48 [rillian]
- oh, um. how does that work again?
- 23:38:08 [AaronSw]
- Beats me, all I know is that it's a source of frustration with linking.
- 23:38:21 [AaronSw]
- Thankfully I've been spared so far.
- 23:38:26 [rillian]
- AaronSw: good idea about google; I forget that they track recent posts. don't see anything useful so far
- 23:38:47 [AaronSw]
- Yeah, the new recent-stuff tracking is quite nice.
- 23:44:28 [rillian]
- aha, macosxtips.com has a report and a workaround
- 23:44:38 [rillian]
- replace the symlink with one to the debug version
- 23:44:57 [rillian]
- seems like the stuff in /usr/lib is just broken in general
- 23:45:23 [AaronSw]
- Ouch.
- 23:45:57 [rillian]
- seems like they rushed things out the door a bit
- 23:46:14 [AaronSw]
- Well, I'm still glad they released it.
- 23:46:59 [AaronSw]
- Well, gotta run... dinnertime
- 23:49:57 [rillian]
- cheers
- 23:50:55 [rillian]
- aha! looks like they might have posted a new version
- 23:51:02 [rillian]
- the date is later than what's on my disk
