I had my normal 3rd-block lunch today, but some incredibly annoying girl also had the same lunch as us and chose to sit at the same table. 00:28:19 I got to the table where I sit, and moved a backpack out of the way to sit down. Five minutes later I was interrupted with "No you ain't in my seat boy you best move before I kick your ass outta that chair". 00:28:19 I didn't move though, because 1) It was really annoying and 2) I appreciate proper grammar when applicable. 00:28:20 So I didn't move, and she yelled at me for about 20 seconds, then I decided it'd be best to move to the other side of the table, and I did. 00:28:20 Tommorow we resume our regular schedule and I really hope she isn't planning on sitting at that table again.  00:28:22 ]]] 00:28:39 C::His [lunch story|http://radio.weblogs.com/0001189/2001/12/18.html#a16] is pretty funny. 00:28:40 commented item C 00:31:14 lol: "I didn't move though, because 1) It was really annoying and 2) I appreciate proper grammar when applicable." 00:33:01 Heh: 'Apparently you aren't supposed to say "Zoning" every time you move something around on one of the shelves.

02:45:31 explain 02:45:47 he's in many of the ones that xena's in 02:45:52 hmm, why isn't xena in #python 02:46:08 swhack, rdfig, python, infoanarchy, brits, lojban, erights 02:46:17 well, that's all that i know of 02:46:37 hmm, you forgot to add #decent to xena's config file 02:46:40 * AaronSw adds it 02:46:58 anything decent happen there? 02:47:08 of course -- it's decent! 02:47:10 just seemed like a playground for sam's bot 02:47:18 what about #indecent ? 02:47:25 oh, pete came onto #espra yesterday btw 02:47:35 who's pete? 02:47:49 the bloke from england who went to p2p.II / freenet 02:47:53 oh cool 02:47:58 had a feeling 02:48:00 what'd he say? 02:48:10 we discussed things he had in mind 02:48:12 yeah it is just a playground for sam's bot 02:48:23 he's like me two years ago 02:48:33 uh oh 02:48:39 we might have two tavs then 02:48:43 that could be bad 02:48:50 in his flat; has interesting ideas; doesn't have a clue technically 02:48:53 Pff... ban one, and another one takes its place 02:49:09 well, not really doesn't have a clue, but, doesn't know much technically 02:50:09 sbp: heh 02:50:14 :-) 02:50:58 hmz 02:51:05 we need to optimise xena's output 02:51:13 optimize? 02:51:56 a) stop relay outputs b) be able to specify which channels are "outputted" 02:52:21 i agree on the first 02:52:30 "output" 02:52:47 i think it'd be cool to have a little tool that'd construct a filtered view of the xena output from the assorted logs 02:52:59 so you can sort of scroll up and down, and diagnose crashes and things 02:53:08 and filter channels, i suppose 02:53:49 yea 02:54:07 killarny wanted to created a curses based output 02:54:23 you could hit tab and cycle between preset channel outputs 02:54:29 it'd probably be a major pain tho, since killarny has like a 1000 little files it logs to 02:54:55 problem is, you'd just create a new irc client at the end of the day 02:55:00 exactly 02:55:49 you should create a cool xnet channel monitor like app for the mac 02:55:54 talon made me mine 02:56:17 hmm? 02:56:23 collapsible 50 pixel high transparent app that relays #esp and #esp-core 02:57:28 just shows the last thing said? 02:57:33 yea 02:58:05 last coupla lines 02:58:24 and you can set some words that it would beep / change line color on 02:58:38 no see the idea is less irc :) 02:58:58 well, that app helps minimise 02:59:12 no need to keep eye on any irc channels, or xena output 02:59:20 it just floods past you 02:59:20 leaving the channel seems to have worked better for me :) 02:59:37 you are still here... 02:59:50 irc time expands to fill up all available time 02:59:54 yep 03:00:02 oh, you mean do it for #swhack? 03:00:09 no matter how many or how few channels there are 03:00:18 well, any channel 03:00:34 that reminds me i really should be quitting IRC about now 03:00:37 bye bye 03:00:40 nite ;p 03:00:49 you know my email address if you want to chat 03:01:05 aaronsw@espians.com ?

The Plex Project" 23:41:02 i'm getting there! 23:41:43 :-) 23:45:39 sorry bout the flood 23:45:43 Let me posit a scenario. Imagine that some Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) software company decides it wants to be the authorization service that all must pass through to get things done. Also further posit that this COTS proprietary operating system is found on the majority of the deployed systems under consideration. The COTS vendor then brings out an Xtra Proprietary version of its OS, which contains a client that uses XML signatu 23:45:44 y XML signatures) for security. All the XML code points to this vendor's servers to provide information, sort of like a non-public PKI infrastructure. This client becomes widely used for authentication simply because it's easy to set up as a default since the OS is widely used. Also, said manufacturer embeds it in its popular "free" browser as the default security mechanism. 23:45:44 To put the icing on the cake, say this vendor starts to charge someone (perhaps the merchant and, indirectly, the consumer) every time its servers are used for authentication by this client. Voila! Monopoly and revenue streams all in one. 23:52:30 heh heh. cite?
