Wonderful, I need Perl
00:04:36 [lilo]
[GlobalNotice] Hi all. This is a global notice since two of the remaining server reups will be disruptive. It'll be a few minutes, but we're almost there. Thanks.
00:08:02 [sbp]
Shall I riskily compile using Borland or Mingw32, or shall I get the ActiveState binaries?
00:08:33 [sbp]
choices choices
00:09:30 [sbp]
heh, so to install Crypto, I needed to install OpenSSL, to install OpenSSL, I needed to install Perl, to install Perl...

tansaku_sleeping (~sam@h131-107.tokyu-net.catv.ne.jp) has joined #swhack
00:10:57 [sbp]
also to install Crypto, I needed Distutils, and also to install OpenSSL, I needed Borland or Mingw32
00:11:23 [sbp]
to install Distutils, I needed Python, which I of course had
00:12:04 [sbp]
I'm currently getting the Borland and ActiveState Perl binaries...
00:13:03 [sbp]
At least now when someone says "Have you installed...", I can just cut them off and say, "yes"
00:14:04 [sbp]
I also have the source for Perl 5, and I could compile it (needs Borland "version 5.02 or later")
00:15:15 [sbp]
Ah, if I wanted to compile that, I'd also need dmake. I got make from somewhere...
00:18:59 [sbp]
Gotta run

00:21:18 [sbp]
cr:SHA a rdf:Property; s:label "SHA hash";
00:21:20 [sbp]

00:21:22 [sbp]
s:domain string:String;
00:21:24 [sbp]
s:range string:String.
00:21:26 [sbp]
]]] - http://www.w3.org/2000/10/swap/crypto.n3
00:23:07 [sbp]
apparently, we don't assume that crypto:md5 is "unbreakable", but we do for crypto:sha
00:23:50 [sbp]
Perhaps the range should be crypto:Hash, with a URI like <hash:SHA:wjhf90w30f8w3890fq0398h>
00:24:41 [sbp]
actually, it doesn't need to be, since we never refer to a file using it's hash: the hash URI identifies the hash only. So you always have to introduce a predicate relationship
00:24:56 [sbp]
and if you're going to be linking it with a property, you can identify the string as a Hash anyway

Hi Aaron
01:00:44 [AaronSw]
hey there
01:03:03 [sbp]
Cryptography in Python is rather annoying
01:04:04 [AaronSw]
No luck yet?
01:06:29 [sbp]
Well, I'm downloading, and downloading, and downloading...
01:07:08 [sbp]
The hashes were incredibly easy; I did them last night. The key-based stuff is just scary
01:07:24 [sbp]
not that the actual built-ins will be all that difficult, it's getting the modules!
01:07:39 [AaronSw]
what sort of hash stuff you doing?
01:07:45 [sbp]
I'm currently getting Perl...
01:07:58 [sbp]
er... it just gets you the hashes of a string
01:08:42 [AaronSw]
what sorts?
01:08:45 [AaronSw]
md5 and sha?
01:08:50 [sbp]
yeah
01:09:20 [sbp]
why?
01:09:43 [AaronSw]

03:10:06 [Morbus]
your stupid fink install x11 doesn't work in fink .31
03:10:36 [AaronSw`]
I didn't mean it literally!
03:10:50 [Morbus]
oh. heh.
03:11:01 [Morbus]
so i do fink install system-xfree86?
03:11:13 [Morbus]
and then xfree86-rootless?
03:11:56 [AaronSw`]
I think just xfree86-rootless will do it.
03:12:03 [AaronSw`]
it should install system-xfree86
03:12:26 [Morbus]

oh, the -rootless is ni nstable
03:12:50 [AaronSw`]
not for me
03:12:51 [Morbus]
apparently, i need to install xfree86-base first.
03:12:53 [AaronSw`]
do a fink selfupdate
03:13:00 [Morbus]
i just downloaded it yesterday
03:13:04 [AaronSw`]
you're missing 8 packages
03:13:17 [AaronSw`]
Morbus, i don't think it matters, packages are updated separately from the software
03:13:19 [Morbus]
Failed: no package found for specification 'selfupdate'!
03:13:28 [Morbus]
oop. nevermind
03:13:30 [AaronSw`]
no, just fink selfupdate, no install
03:13:33 [Morbus]
forgot to remove install
03:14:28 [AaronSw`]

03:17:54 [Morbus]
one of my feature requests in fink is coming in the next cversion. whoo.
03:18:20 [Morbus]
not fink

03:18:25 [Morbus]
sheesh. wheres my head, silly?

Why do you prefer it to Monaco?
03:23:04 [AaronSw`]
Mishawaka is too Eudoraey for me.
03:23:09 [AaronSw`]
hey sbp
03:23:13 [sbp]
Hi there
03:23:26 [Morbus]
i don't remmeber. been using it for a long long time though. i think it had something to do with better rendering of 1/l o/0/O
03:23:29 [AaronSw`]
I think use of :GetHashValue is the same kind of mistake as saying "click here" in a web page.
03:23:36 [Morbus]
and a larger periud character too
03:23:36 [Morbus]
lol.
03:24:24 [sbp]
yes, it's not a great little idiom: but please don't gather semantics from the class name, which isn't even a label
03:24:45 [Morbus]
jesus crhsit, this fink is going forever
03:24:53 [Morbus]
oh. just finished.
03:25:08 [AaronSw`]
sbp, like it or not, we will
03:25:21 [AaronSw`]
yeah, fink takes awfully long, but it's not exactly its fault
03:25:31 [Morbus]
yeah, that rootless thing worked now.
03:25:39 [AaronSw`]
cool
03:25:44 [Morbus]
now, this installs all the crap - does it make any GUI icons? or shell startx only?
03:26:01 [AaronSw`]
no, it should make /Applications/XDarwin
03:26:03 [sbp]
well, that's just as bad as thinking of <p> as a paragraph element, no matter what the namespace
03:26:16 [AaronSw`]
No it's not.
03:26:20 [Morbus]
oh. cool.
03:26:28 [AaronSw`]
It's like saying <paragraph> is a paragraph element. ;-)
03:26:29 [Morbus]
good. i like run and forget ;)
03:26:39 [Morbus]
you like docboot <para> better?
03:26:48 [AaronSw`]
not really

MOC (in Orchard) was similar to Inline, except the other direction, it added garbage collection and objects to C to make C easy to work from Perl (and Py or Tcl)

it had native support for XML namespaces at teh object attribute level ;)

17:16:39 [Morbus]
yeah, that'd be nice.
17:17:03 [deus_x]
What always bugs me about that in OS X is multiple copies of libraries, frameworks, etc bundled with each app, but at least it makes for easy installs.
17:17:59 [deus_x]
And as for forking... it's been awhile since I tried much cross-platform perl. Did they actually get a working fork() on Windows and Mac? I imagine so...
17:18:51 [Morbus]
i think they have a working fork over on windows. i'm not sure on the mac. haven't really done any fork work in a while.
17:19:25 [deus_x]
That was kinda where I thought complete POEification would come in handy, if some platform hated fork(). I know they all hate threads right now.
17:19:26 [Morbus]
as for os x- yeah, what i want to do in the future is have a /cpan/ directory within the source. so that people won't have to fiddle with MCPAN or what have you.
17:19:56 [deus_x]
Does the perl2exe in Windows just bundle all that stuff up with it?
17:20:50 [deus_x]
The unfortunate thing with POE, though, is that it's got a bit of a learning curve on it
17:21:16 [Morbus]
right - same with the RuntimeBuilder for MacPerl.
17:21:23 [Morbus]
perl2exe makes a single exe.
17:21:36 [Morbus]
RuntimeBuilder creates a "shared libs" directory that contains the compiled XS stuff.
17:23:39 [Morbus]
so the webserver could be handled with POE::Component::Client::HTTP
17:23:58 [deus_x]
Ahh, yeah I can basically do that with the OS X stuff, but as far as I know there's no tool to do it. But should be easy enough to just do module builds in a local shared libs within the bundle
17:24:26 [deus_x]
Well, the PoCo::Client::HTTP is for downloading from URLs I think, but there's also a Server::HTTP
17:24:46 [Morbus]
cool - and we can slap a custom gui on the thing? kinda like a duplicate of the windows GUI? (url forthcoming)
17:25:04 [Morbus]
http://www.disobey.com/amphetadesk/images/ss-base-gui.jpg
17:25:23 [Morbus]
i have a MacPerl gui that does and looks like that. but its buggy. not releasable.
17:26:31 [deus_x]
Morbus: Pretty much I duplicated the Windows GUI in what I built last night, down to the banner image, log window, and menu items mostly
17:26:43 [Morbus]
super cool.
17:26:51 [Morbus]
is the gui logo separable from the client?
17:26:56 [Morbus]
from the bundle, rather?
17:27:16 [Morbus]
like - could people stick a new jpg/pict/etc into the gui/ subdir and see it on next run?
17:27:24 [Morbus]
this is super neat <g>
17:27:29 [deus_x]
I think so... I just used the macos_logo.pict directly. I think you could swap that image out
17:27:39 [Morbus]
dont' suppose you could make a carbon one either for the 9.x lusers? <G>
17:27:52 [Morbus]
yeah, that's what the win32 gui does. and what my buggy classic gui does.
17:28:08 [deus_x]
You'd have to use Icon Builder for the macosx_icon.icns I made, though. Need a better Icon though, preferrably 128x128. I kinda scaled up the existing icon and blurred it
17:28:17 [deus_x]
Alas, I don't know a thing about Carbon :)
17:28:36 [Morbus]
heh, on the icon. yeah. fixing that junk is one of the things i need to do 'fore the next release.
17:28:41 [Morbus]
ah twell ;)
17:28:54 [deus_x]
But, that takes 2 seconds to replace, whenever there's a new one

17:40:15 [Morbus]
on win32.
17:40:20 [Morbus]
and it's not on activestate's ppm.

Are you working with a CPAN-acquired version of POE?
17:45:03 [Morbus]
a PPM version of it.
17:45:05 [deus_x]
I seem to remember his CPAN releases far out-date his releases at poe.perl.org.. trying to remember
17:45:35 [deus_x]
Ah. Urk, yeah he uses OS2 instead of Windows, if you can believe that
17:46:51 [deus_x]
Oh, and I just uploaded some things to http://homepage.mac.com/~deus_x/ Specifically, AmphetaDeskX.tar.gz, and ampheta-gui-deusx.tar.gz. The first is my AmphetaDeskX.app and the second is my gui/ dir tarballed
17:47:35 [deus_x]
You might also have to stick a check in AmphetaDesk.pl on $^O to check for 'darwin' and use MacOSX.pl in lib
17:47:41 [deus_x]
I think I tweaked a few things
17:47:57 [deus_x]
Oh wait, but that file's not in my tarball. Doh. I should just tarball my whole CVS checkout
17:48:02 [Morbus]
heh...
17:48:12 [Morbus]
i'm heading off to lunch right now, anyways. so no rushing.
17:48:14 [deus_x]
I thought I was being efficient :)
17:48:18 [Morbus]
plus i'm no where near a mac being at work.
17:48:23 [Morbus]
:)
17:48:24 [deus_x]
Figured you might want to peek at it though :) Ahh... okay
17:49:00 [Morbus]
does the gui tarbull have any sort of magic "morbus sucks ass at pbuilder" instructions? <g>
17:49:45 [deus_x]
Hmm.. not really :) Mostly you open the AmphetaDeskX.pbproj in gui/AmphetaDeskX/ and hit build. From there, you can tweak & etc
17:49:55 [Morbus]
oh. ok. that seems simple, i think.
17:49:59 [Morbus]
i should be able to figure out the rest.
17:50:06 [Morbus]
cool. this rocks :)
17:50:07 [deus_x]
If anything breaks on the build, it's probably because I accidentally made some paths absolute somewhere...
17:50:18 [Morbus]
hey AaronSw, a OS X gui for Ampheta! Wheee!
17:50:28 [AaronSw]
Cool!
17:50:40 [deus_x]
I still have to implement some things for the GUI to send messages to the perl daemon, but that's coming up next
17:50:54 [deus_x]
So for now, it's mostly just a pretty log tail
17:51:07 [deus_x]
Was pretty quick to whip up
17:52:06 [Morbus]
yeah, log tail was all the gui really did anyways, so that's awesome.
17:52:29 [deus_x]
And I stuck a quick timed channel auto-refresh hack in there too
17:52:34 [Morbus]
i was actually thinking of removing the menubar from the win32 anyways, and having everything in the systray.
17:52:43 [Morbus]
bwahahah. that's on the TODO for the next version <g>
17:52:44 [deus_x]
Since the "refresh Channels" menu item didn't work
17:52:54 [deus_x]
Yeah, I was thinking of playing with a Dock Menu on the OS X gui too
17:52:55 [Morbus]
yeah, none of those hooks are in the MacOS.pl...
17:52:58 [Morbus]
OooOH!
17:53:07 [Morbus]
i like you :D
17:53:17 [AaronSw]
Does it have a coOoOl Aqua interface?
17:53:21 [deus_x]
Mostly I stuck it in the gui_listen() since that was called frequently. Big Fat Hack.
17:53:36 [Morbus]
:)
17:53:36 [deus_x]
Heheh. This Cocoa stuff is fun.
17:53:44 [AaronSw]
Cocoa rocks!
17:54:00 [AaronSw]
* AaronSw goes to check on the Python bindings
17:54:45 [deus_x]
There we go. http://homepage.mac.com/~deus_x Two AmphetaDesk tarballs, one's my CVS source, one's my app.
17:55:05 [Morbus]
awesome.
17:55:12 [Morbus]
i'll check them out when i get back from lunch.
17:55:20 [Morbus]
and then actually run them later tonight when i get home ;)
17:56:12 [Morbus]
pfft. of course, mac.com is slow for me today. i knew it.
17:57:34 [Morbus]
would the dock thingy be done in cocoa too?
17:58:37 [deus_x]
Yup, pretty easy to add a dock menu in cocoa
17:58:47 [Morbus]
bb in about 30.

19:32:09 [deus_x]
Nothing to write home about, but it's running :)
19:32:23 [deus_x]
Oh, that's cool. Takes me about 5 minutes to make a new icon from a PNG

is that icon the same one in the cvs for the mac?
19:32:36 [Morbus]
i can't remember. haven't touched that part in a while.

Morbus: using AmphetaDesk, is there a way to get items in time order, regardless of source, or would that require polling too often? (since RSS doesn't include post-time <sigh>)
19:44:20 [Morbus]
its possible, yes, just not with the current code.
19:44:26 [kmacleod]
and a feature request: use a click-thru for the site that moves it "down" the list after you've read it
19:44:47 [Morbus]
that's part of the a todo, actually. after 1.0, channel data will be moving into a Storable DBM, so we can do much better sorts of analysis on it.
19:44:57 [AaronSw]
* AaronSw sets up #ginger
19:44:58 [kmacleod]
hmm... just locked up on me
19:45:01 [Morbus]

19:45:15 [Morbus]
windows? or linux?
19:45:50 [Morbus]
i wax poetic a bit about channel DBMS in the TODO on sf.
19:46:01 [kmacleod]
windows. upon un-minimizing it from the taskbar
19:46:27 [Morbus]
that's "normal", i would say. can you still navigate through the webpages?
19:47:17 [Morbus]
after normal startup, amphetadesk shifts back and forth between gui listening and webserver listening.
19:47:20 [kmacleod]
ah! I closed the browser, that's most of what's "locked up" about it ;) I need to reload the URL
19:47:43 [Morbus]
so, smetimes you'll refresh or go to the gui window and it wont refresh right away cos the listener is on the webserver at that moment.
19:47:52 [Morbus]
thus the big reason i'm looking into poe and forks and threads, etc. ;)

kmacleod, this is the poe guy :)
19:51:42 [Morbus]
so, anyways, yeah, ampheta won't look at the channels for another hour. you can right click systray to do a channel refresh, but if it sees that the local copy has been grabbed within the hour, it won't chekc for an update.
19:52:04 [Morbus]
forcing of updates is planned, but the cheat right now is to wipe out ~/data/channels/ and systray-refresh.

heh, heh.
20:31:27 [sbp]
Ho hum, wonderful fun
20:31:28 [Morbus]
what i was thinking of doing, was to poe the webserver and gui, and then fork (if possible) the get's.
20:32:05 [dngor]
that's way doable. see, uhm, PoeLinkManager.pm and PoeWebClient.pm in the memephage source
20:32:19 [dngor]
and, i guess, PoeWebServer.pm :)
20:32:34 [Morbus]
so, i should have this up and running by tonight, then, right? <G>
20:32:44 [AaronSw]
sbp, have you seen my new channel? #ginger
20:32:47 [dngor]
there's a bit of a learning cliff
20:33:21 [Morbus]
that's what deus_ex told me (he's the guy who told be about poe).
20:33:27 [sbp]
Aaron: I have now :-)
20:33:30 [Morbus]
he's also the guy who whipped out an osx gui for amphetadesk. in a day. it rocked.
20:33:32 [AaronSw]
Heh.
20:35:24 [Morbus]
yeah, this PoWebServer thingy is nice.,
20:35:27 [dngor]
most of the memephage .pm files are self-contained libraries that hide some POE bits behind normal function calls
20:35:36 [Morbus]
well, it looks nice ;)

Getting sucked into the POEification of AmphetaDesk?
23:01:52 [dngor]
i've staunched the tide with a pre-emptive flood of advice and source code
23:02:31 [dngor]
hopefully it'll give me time to regroup and kill some tasks first
23:02:33 [deus_x]
Whoo hoo!
23:02:47 [deus_x]
Well, I've bene offering some help on the POE front too since I want to put that hat on again. Been awhile
23:02:59 [deus_x]
Though I did make an initial Mac OS X GUI for the app, that was fun.
23:03:12 [dngor]
Morbus said it rocks. that's excellent
23:03:58 [deus_x]
It's got a little ways to go, but I'm digging Cocoa. And with the whole UNIX side of OS X, I want to see more GUIs driven by geeky UNIX stuff behind it (like, say a perl mini-app server)
23:04:26 [deus_x]
But I'm impressed by this AmphetaDesk thing that runs on damn near everything
23:05:14 [deus_x]
Maybe somehow I'll work a POE FTP server into the mix :)
23:06:20 [dngor]
that would rock. all POE FTP efforts have so far ended in failure except one.
23:06:28 [dngor]
and the one that works doesn't do PORT
23:06:46 [deus_x]
Really?? Wow. I didn't think imne was actually all that hot
23:06:51 [dngor]
... but it is a sexy app, if its author can be trusted.
23:06:54 [deus_x]
s/imne/mine/
23:07:34 [dngor]
it coordinates mp3 uploads to affiliate sites, according to the author. part of the design goal is to push files from one ftp server to several others at the exact moment.
23:07:34 [deus_x]
I wonder if I could POE-ify Net::FTPServer. That thing impresses me
23:07:51 [deus_x]
Ooh, well that's a pretty neat idea, like an FTP reflector?
23:08:07 [dngor]
yeah, but never hosting the files locally.
23:08:36 [deus_x]
Ahh, so it maintains FTP outgoing connections, and directly fireman-carries from the incoming FTP to the outgoing FTPs?
23:09:00 [deus_x]
I see wheels spinning in POE
23:09:44 [dngor]
no, it apparently connects to two ftp servers and has one of them send and the other receive
23:10:16 [deus_x]
Oh, so it downloads from one, is not an FTP server in and of itself
23:11:54 [sbp]
* sbp laughs; Morbus has a lot to answer for
23:22:08 [dngor]
true, it doesn't do any serving of its own.
23:22:25 [dngor]
it's not even a proper ftp client. it just parses enough of the protocol to push files around.
23:22:52 [dngor]
from what i've heard, anyway. the guy kept asking how to do it for two weeks.
