- sbp, hazmat, tav: what do you think of new text on http://plexdev.org/
- 00:03:40 [hazmat]
- cite http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/s-digsig.html
- 00:05:27 [AaronSw]
- I think he's probably wrong about this specific instancec.
- 00:05:40 [AaronSw]
- Just because URIs are used as identifiers doesn't mean someone can charge.
- 00:06:11 [hazmat]
- the text looks fine, but the bold words are a bit much. overall its looks much better! :)
- 00:06:20 [AaronSw]
- heh, thanks
- 00:07:59 [sbp]
- sbp has quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)

- hazmat, what do you think of the highlighting on http://swag.webns.net/ ?
- 00:08:54 [sbp]
- sbp (~sean@m409-mp1-cvx3b.pop.ntl.com) has joined #swhack

- wb, sbp
- 00:09:14 [sbp]
- * sbp writes an article on Agoraphobia and Liberty
- 00:09:27 [AaronSw]
- sounds interesting
- 00:09:41 [AaronSw]
- what do you think of new text on http://plexdev.org
- 00:09:54 [sbp]
- good text (just read it)
- 00:09:59 [hazmat]
- AaronSw: in that context s.w.n it looks fine, i'm not sure how well the effect transfers but on the other hand this completely subjective.
- 00:10:15 [AaronSw]
- s.w.n?
- 00:10:23 [hazmat]
- swag.webns.net
- 00:10:24 [sbp]
- not sure about the present tense, though
- 00:10:39 [AaronSw]
- hazmat, ah.
- 00:10:53 [AaronSw]
- i think i'll leave it out for now
- 00:11:02 [hazmat]
- * hazmat has been having a few drinks ;)
- 00:11:08 [AaronSw]
- heh
- 00:14:08 [sbp]
- Aaron, what do your folks think about your Schoolyard Subversion stuff?
- 00:14:29 [AaronSw]
- i dunno
- 00:14:58 [AaronSw]
- they seem to like it well enough
- 00:15:40 [AaronSw]
- man, my mouse is really acting up today
- 00:24:44 [AaronSw]
- cool, we validate except for tav's bit now
- 00:26:25 [AaronSw]
- now to check it out in links
- 00:27:11 [AaronSw]
- Wow, looks pretty good. Many props to Links.
- 00:27:19 [AaronSw]
- I wonder if I should leave the "A blue dot" in.
- 00:28:03 [deltab]
- it does look a bit odd :-)
- 00:28:41 [AaronSw]
- gone
- 00:28:47 [sbp]
- use it as a title
- 00:29:49 [AaronSw]
- ok
- 00:30:02 [AaronSw]
- Looks reasonable in lynx too.
- 00:30:27 [deltab]
- no alt text?
- 00:30:33 [AaronSw]
- yeah, fixed that
- 00:31:20 [deltab]
- could it have alt="Home"?
- 00:32:18 [deltab]
- I suppose I should really patch Links to be smarter about links
- 00:32:40 [AaronSw]
- "The Plex Project" is already a link to home, do we need a second?
- 00:32:56 [deltab]
- you already have one
- 00:33:09 [AaronSw]
- Isn't that what I said?
- 00:33:16 [deltab]
- a second link
- 00:33:29 [AaronSw]
- Where's that?
- 00:33:36 [deltab]
- that dot
- 00:33:44 [AaronSw]
- Oh, I meant for Links users.
- 00:34:06 [deltab]
- it's a second link for Links users
- 00:34:14 [deltab]
- Links displays it as [IMG]
- 00:34:26 [AaronSw]
- oh, i see.
- 00:34:32 [AaronSw]
- i was still in lunx
- 00:34:34 [AaronSw]
- err lynx
- 00:35:15 [AaronSw]
- fixed
- 00:35:29 [AaronSw]
- what's the syntax for making a patch?
- 00:35:34 [AaronSw]
- diff -u oldfile newfile ?
- 00:35:42 [deltab]
- yep
- 00:35:57 [deltab]
- if you have multiple files, -urN
- 00:37:21 [AaronSw]
- cool
- 00:37:31 [AaronSw]
- * AaronSw crosses fingers and reinstalls mc
- 00:37:55 [deltab]
- the idea behind Links doing that is that links should always be accessible
- 00:38:15 [AaronSw]
- makes sense
- 00:38:20 [deltab]
- but it's not smart enough to check whether the link is in fact accessible some other way
- 00:38:38 [deltab]
- such as text immediately to the right
- 00:40:19 [AaronSw]
- oops, patched the wrong program
- 00:42:34 [AaronSw]

- 00:44:31 [AaronSw]
- hee
- 00:46:40 [sbp]
- She sells sea shells on the sea shore. She said "surely, someone will come a shellin', and buy a few shells or more"
- 00:47:36 [sbp]
- which brings me to my point: is there such a word as "shelling"?
- 00:48:12 [sbp]
- Google seems to think so, so I'll presume "yes"
- 00:48:45 [sbp]
- of course, Google could be wrong, but I doubt it
- 00:49:00 [sbp]
- why would Google lie to us? What possible motive would it have?
- 00:56:27 [AaronSw]
- Man, Gnome takes years to compile. I hate to think what Gnome 2 will be like.
- 00:57:46 [AaronSw]
- I think this is my third day of Gnome compilation so far.
- 01:01:56 [sbp]
- day?
- 01:03:01 [AaronSw]
- yeah, as in 24-hour period.
- 01:03:04 [sbp]
- "hour" would have been scary. What are you on? 33MHz?
- 01:03:10 [AaronSw]
- heh heh heh
- 01:03:14 [AaronSw]
- see, i told you it took a while
- 01:03:23 [sbp]
- deary me
- 01:03:50 [AaronSw]
- of course a large part of those days were used up waiting for me to answer yes to some prompt or another
- 01:03:58 [AaronSw]
- but still
- 01:04:15 [sbp]
- ugh, who says "deary me" in this day and age? I retract that statement, to a certain extent
- 01:04:35 [sbp]
- Do you like prompts? [Y/N]
- 01:04:40 [AaronSw]
- lol
- 01:05:55 [sbp]
- have you ever tried installing a piece of software on two different machines? But instead of repeating the process, do a mirror install: hammer the Y key on one computer, and the N key on t'other
- 01:06:10 [AaronSw]
- no, can't say i have
- 01:06:51 [sbp]
- tsk, you live in a horridly sane little world, don't you? :-)
- 01:07:27 [sbp]
- * sbp hasn't done it either, he should note. Two different machines?
- 01:08:03 [sbp]
- "Methodology" is an annoying buzzword, isn't? Quite proactive
- 01:09:43 [sbp]
- Heh, I feel a bit like that guy who defeated the French at the Battle Of Cannes. Captain someone? The good old days
- 01:10:28 [sbp]
- Hmm... that was a bit of a Simpsons-inspired quote
- 01:11:42 [sbp]
- Homer: Stealing! How could you? Haven't you learned anything from that guy who gives those sermons at church? Captain what's-his-name?
- 01:12:34 [sbp]
- Pff: and I shouldn't have capitalized "of". What's up with that?
- 01:13:20 [AaronSw]
- wow, I'm getting closer -- only 3 more packages to install
- 01:14:06 [sbp]
- Let's see... at one day per package... that's 3 times however many days per package, isn't it? How many days in package? Oh, I don't have time for this.
- 01:15:48 [sbp]
- [[[
- 01:15:48 [sbp]
- Homer: Hmm, eight dollars a pound times, say, oh, five pounds is,
- 01:15:49 [sbp]
- um, uh, let's see . . . how many pounds in a gallon? [pause]
- 01:15:49 [sbp]

- lol
- 01:17:00 [sbp]
- Go crazy? Don't mind if I do
- 01:17:22 [AaronSw]
- Well, these do appear to be the big packages: gnome-applets, gnome-core and gnome-utils.
- 01:17:34 [AaronSw]
- but at least the other 15 or so are done

- 01:43:55 [AaronSw]
- Ah.
- 01:44:06 [AaronSw]
- The CD "copy protection" is pretty silly.
- 01:44:38 [AaronSw]
- cf. http://www.siliconvalley.com/docs/news/svfront/cd121701.htm
- 01:44:54 [AaronSw]
- Note how Hillary Rosen keeps saying that there's been harm caused, but never says how.
- 01:45:04 [AaronSw]
- Like she's never said that record sales have fallen, because they haven't.
- 01:45:14 [AaronSw]
- I should blog this.
- 01:45:15 [AaronSw]
- @ http://www.siliconvalley.com/docs/news/svfront/cd121701.htm
- 01:45:20 [chumpster]
- A: Universal to release copy-protected CD in U.S. (12/16/2001) from AaronSw
- 01:46:42 [AaronSw]
- A::This "copy protection" is pretty funny. They basically put a number of errors in the CD so that it doesn't work with current CD ripping software. I'm sure the next version of all the software will fix this.
- 01:46:42 [AaronSw]
- A::Note how Hillary Rosen keeps saying that there's been harm caused, but never says how. Like she's never said that record sales have fallen, because I don't think they have.

- 01:47:40 [sbp]
- A::I agree with the point that the drop of in sales figures is probably due to the poor crop of music this year
- 01:47:41 [chumpster]
- commented item A
- 01:47:58 [sbp]
- More of a crock than a crop
- 01:48:14 [sbp]
- A couple of good albums... "Love And Theft", of course
- 01:48:58 [AaronSw]
- A::It is good to see that consumers aren't taking this easily.
- 01:48:59 [chumpster]
- commented item A
- 01:54:13 [AaronSw]
- A::Perhaps if CDs weren't so insanely overpriced they wouldn't have to worry about "15 high school friends from getting together and pooling their money to buy a single music CD and a spindle of blank discs and making dubs for everyone in the group -- with a few extras to sell at school."
- 01:54:14 [chumpster]
- commented item A
- 01:55:07 [AaronSw]
- A::And I can't say I'd shed a tear if consumers are learning they don't have to listen to the same old look-alike bands.
- 01:55:07 [chumpster]
- commented item A
- 01:56:42 [deltab]
- if it just needed software changes, they'd already be done
- 01:57:03 [AaronSw]
- Err, hardware changes.
- 01:57:03 [deltab]
- the error checking is done internally by the drive, I think
- 01:57:12 [AaronSw]
- Yeah.
- 01:57:30 [AaronSw]
- s/software/hardware/ above... my bad
- 01:57:43 [deltab]
- but I'm sure the companies that make regionless dvd players would be happy to make drives with optional error checking
- 01:58:35 [AaronSw]
- Yeah, exactly.
- 01:59:06 [AaronSw]
- And I'm not sure what the dual-session CDs gain them.
- 02:02:33 [AaronSw]
- A::I think the copy protection warning sticker should say "Parental Advisory Warning" on it. ;-)

- <http://infomesh.net/>: Showing that "soon" is a relative term since Apr 2001/
- 02:04:39 [AaronSw]
- From my underground school magazine contact: "Believe it or not, your piece was pretty popular. I even caught a few kids (one or two anyways) chatting about it at school after I dropped the mag in a few strategic locations."
- 02:07:12 [AaronSw]
- The piece is here: http://swartzfam.com/aaron/school/2000/11/01/
- 02:07:28 [AaronSw]
- Needs some polishing up, IMO.

- I'm trying to pick something for the next issue.
- 02:09:06 [AaronSw]
- http://swartzfam.com/aaron/school/2001/01/15/ is pretty funny.
- 02:11:23 [sbp]
- Homer: It's funny because it's true
- 02:11:40 [AaronSw]
- Yep.
- 02:12:04 [AaronSw]
- Or I could always take the bad poetry approach: http://swartzfam.com/aaron/school/2001/03/01/
- 02:12:29 [AaronSw]
- I used English assignments as an opportunity to write schoolyard subversion pieces.
- 02:13:29 [sbp]
- is that first bit meant to be a Haiku? One more syllable | Makes me want to scream out | "Six in the first line!"
- 02:13:44 [sbp]
- s/out/out loud/
- 02:13:55 [AaronSw]
- heh heh
- 02:14:11 [AaronSw]
- I guess you must pronounce millions differently?
- 02:14:20 [AaronSw]
- mill-ee-uns?
- 02:14:27 [AaronSw]
- I say it mill-yuns.
- 02:14:30 [sbp]
- Mill-eeeeeee-ohns
- 02:14:38 [sbp]
- ah, right. You suck; I forgot
- 02:14:41 [sbp]
- :-)
- 02:14:43 [AaronSw]
- Heh heh heh.
- 02:15:16 [AaronSw]
- Ah, I remember how much fun it was to read: '"you suck", "you suck", "you suck", "you suck", you say' with dramatic intonation in front of the class.
- 02:15:43 [AaronSw]
- you SUUUUUUCK
- 02:16:14 [sbp]
- I have trouble pronouncing "s"s. They come out as "f"'s for some reason. Landed me in a heap of trouble
- 02:16:22 [AaronSw]
- lol
- 02:17:58 [sbp]
- Heh, school is rather pitiful
- 02:18:03 [sbp]
- Homer: I haven't learned a thing
- 02:18:36 [AaronSw]
- School is pitiful indeed. It's sort of scary going thru these things.
- 02:18:58 [sbp]
- I remember doing a test once to see if I actually learned anything that day in school. I learned one word in French, and forgot it a few days later
- 02:19:08 [AaronSw]
- Heh
- 02:19:57 [sbp]
- P.E./Gym was the best. I can't imagine anything more pointless. Hmm... Drama was pretty bad
- 02:20:18 [AaronSw]
- Oh, we had a really great drama teacher... for some of the years.
- 02:20:29 [sbp]
- As if running to school and lugging those books around isn't excercise enough
- 02:20:42 [sbp]
- I suppose a good teacher makes all the difference...
- 02:23:53 [AaronSw]
- Ah, I'll probably submit this one: http://swartzfam.com/aaron/school/2001/06/03/
- 02:24:03 [AaronSw]
- I like the piece I read in frnt of the school.
- 02:25:54 [sbp]
- heh: "Sorry, I wasn't listening, I thought you were talking about India or something and stopped paying attention. What exactly did you say?"
- 02:26:41 [AaronSw]
- yeah, that was pretty funny.
- 02:27:08 [AaronSw]
- man, was that funny
- 02:29:06 [sbp]
- The best thing is when you have a teacher that really doesn't know what they're doing. We had a science teacher that declared the Earth to have the strongest gravity of all the planets in the solar system. Man, did we laugh
- 02:30:16 [AaronSw]
- heh heh heh.
- 02:30:25 [AaronSw]
- I talk about that in here somewhere...
- 02:30:44 [AaronSw]
- Ah, here: http://swartzfam.com/aaron/school/2000/09/24/
- 02:31:12 [sbp]
- In fact, she used to get loads of things wrong. It was a bit worrying. When we confronted her about it, she got a bit defensive, and said "well, I teach according to my opinions, and if they differ from your opinions, then that's tough". I think that was after she was teaching the Steady-State theory of creation...
- 02:31:47 [AaronSw]
- Oh man.
- 02:32:35 [AaronSw]
- The annoying thing is that they get so defensive about it.
- 02:33:02 [AaronSw]
- Like when my math teacher said "that there were an infinite number of points on a line, but a larger infinity of points not on the line."
- 02:33:26 [AaronSw]
- I told him why that was wrong and he said something like "Well, you can look at it either way, you know?"
- 02:33:32 [sbp]
- Yeah. Well, it's their livelyhood on the line. Nevermind hat they stunt the intellectual growth of hundreds of students placed in their care; nevermind the fact that they're frauds pure and simple...
- 02:35:15 [sbp]
- Did you ever have a teacher that would do your work for you, but screw it up? Happened to us in art...
- 02:35:25 [sbp]
- That was in middle school, I believe
- 02:35:35 [AaronSw]
- screw it up?
- 02:36:41 [sbp]
- Yeah. She did it quite often, but as an example: I did a picture of a field, or something. She came along, and said it needed a "defining feature" (focal point), and proceeded to draw a really-out-of-place and totally out-of-scale fence across the landscape, spoiling the work of art
- 02:37:28 [sbp]
- She'd do it to everyone, and we got quite irate about it, eventually
- 02:39:11 [AaronSw]
- lol
- 02:39:27 [AaronSw]
- That's got to be the rudest thing I can imagine an art teacher doing.
- 02:39:41 [sbp]
- absolutely
- 02:40:07 [AaronSw]
- Do you get Malcolm in the Middle in the UK?
- 02:40:13 [sbp]
- We do
- 02:40:26 [AaronSw]
- It's the only show I watch on TV, these days. it's pretty funny.
- 02:40:48 [sbp]
- Hmm... it does get really good reviews. I must confess that I don't really watch it
- 02:41:01 [sbp]

- It's silly when people categorize "teenagers" into one great big lump. Talk about prejudice...
- 02:45:04 [AaronSw]
- Yeah, I got this great survey in the mail that asked me to say what type of teenager I was.
- 02:45:15 [AaronSw]
- It had like jock / scifi / fantasy / mallhopper, etc.
- 02:45:16 [sbp]

- 'She says our boys "suck" because they try to stick their tongues down her throat within minutes of meeting her. Is this you?'
- 02:48:25 [sbp]
- The forms on that tolerance site were great, too. Questions like "how do you feel about old people? Are they good at stuff?" They may as well have just asked whether you're intolerant or not. It was hardly a test
- 02:48:34 [AaronSw]
