- 00:00:34 [rm]
- sbp.define("u script")
- 00:00:42 [tomc]
- why t=p=1?
- 00:00:52 [tomc]
- Oh
- 00:00:54 [rm]
- fast dual assignment
- 00:01:06 [tomc]
- yes, I didn't see the while condition
- 00:01:25 [tomc]
- * tomc is probably up too late
- 00:01:29 [rm]
- heh
- 00:02:59 [sbp]
- u scripts are my little utility scripts, that I kinda namespaced out of the standard unix binaries path
- 00:03:19 [rm]
- cool
- 00:03:19 [sbp]
- so, when I come up with a new script, e.g. blargh, I just put it in my utilities dir
- 00:03:28 [sbp]
- and then I can run it with `u blargh`
- 00:03:44 [sbp]
- e.g.
- 00:03:44 [sbp]
- $ u timenow
- 00:03:44 [sbp]
- 20020319-000502
- 00:04:00 [sbp]
- which is useful for spewing output
- 00:04:13 [sbp]
- dosomething > output`u timenow`.txt
- 00:04:22 [Morbus]
- nooOO! 20 more emails!
- 00:04:23 [sbp]
- I have a few utility scripts...
- 00:04:38 [AaronSw]
- Hmm: http://www.alpiri.com/
- 00:05:07 [Morbus]
- who's that supposed to be?
- 00:05:22 [sbp]
- "Alpiri is building software for Semantic Web Services." - http://web.archive.org/web/20020204140021/http://www.alpiri.com/index.html
- 00:05:26 [sbp]
- who: Guha, AFAIK
- 00:05:58 [deltab]
- I have a readable version of that two-liner, if anyone's interested
- 00:06:07 [sbp]
- please, deltab!
- 00:06:34 [deltab]
- it's 18 lines :-)
- 00:06:44 [sbp]
- send it to www-archive, perhaps?
- 00:07:38 [Morbus]
- so, is www-archive just a place to spurt crap? it has no topic?
- 00:07:43 [sbp]
- yep
- 00:07:48 [Morbus]
- ooOoh ;)
- 00:08:26 [sbp]
- it's the SMTP-to-HTTP counterpart of #swhack's IRC-to-HTTP functionality, I suppose :-)
- 00:08:40 [deltab]
- with a bit of compression and no copy of the original:
- 00:08:41 [deltab]
- import sys
- 00:08:41 [deltab]
- text = open(sys.argv[1])
- 00:08:41 [deltab]
- pad = open(sys.argv[2])
- 00:08:41 [deltab]
- while 1:
- 00:08:41 [deltab]
- t = text.read(1)
- 00:08:43 [deltab]
- if not t: break
- 00:08:45 [deltab]
- p = pad.read(1)
- 00:08:47 [deltab]
- if not p: break
- 00:08:49 [deltab]

- You screwed up a perfectly good title, young man!
- 00:17:10 [rm]
- 'tis destiny
- 00:17:34 [AaronSw]
- you could just add the utilities dir to your path, instead of the odd u thing
- 00:18:41 [sbp]
- er... of course, but then I might conflict with som othe rprogram
- 00:18:45 [AaronSw]
- <rm> that was one hell of a phone call, asw!
- 00:18:45 [AaronSw]
- Yeah, RobbB phone calls tend to be long.

- yeah, you were right about the popup in ooutliner, red
- 00:27:38 [rm]
- m: cool
- 00:29:10 [sbp]
- how did "cool" come to be used as a synonym for "good"? that's just bizarre
- 00:29:28 [rm]
- blame the '60's
- 00:29:55 [sbp]
- *blame*? the 60's? me??? :-)
- 00:29:57 [rm]
- when being cool was (IMO) an expression of stoicism

- the cool cats were the ones who never got ruffled
- 00:30:18 [rm]
- ;-)
- 00:30:28 [sbp]
- that was the 50's...
- 00:30:36 [sbp]

- oh. nevermind.
- 00:54:42 [Morbus]
- i get it.
- 00:54:47 [tomc]
- Does Python have an equivalent of lisp's listp?
- 00:54:58 [rm]
- hah!
- 00:55:02 [rm]
- a use for...
- 00:55:02 [tomc]
- a function to check if it's argument's a list or not
- 00:55:16 [AaronSw]
- type(foo) is list
- 00:55:20 [rm]
- damn, finding uri
- 00:55:22 [AaronSw]
- will return a boolean

- type(list) is a 'type' object
- 01:01:24 [tomc]
- yes
- 01:01:24 [rm]
- not a list class object
- 01:01:28 [tomc]
- type.list?
- 01:01:30 [rm]
- "is list"
- 01:01:39 [rm]
- means "is the list class"
- 01:01:50 [rm]
- what are you trying to do?
- 01:01:52 [tomc]
- yes, understood
- 01:02:11 [tomc]
- well I want to compare it to a type object that's 'list'

- 01:03:12 [sbp]
- heh, heh
- 01:03:46 [sbp]
- I just read these things on the back of cereal boxes; don't be too impressed
- 01:03:56 [rm]
- i want that cereal
- 01:04:03 [rm]
- mine all have inrgedients and puzzles
- 01:04:17 [sbp]
- :-)
- 01:05:02 [tomc]
- *hmm* mine tells me I'm healthier after I've eaten it...
- 01:05:25 [tomc]
- or I have a better life or something
- 01:05:29 [sbp]
- heh, heh
- 01:05:42 [sbp]
- yours can speak? it must have something quite odd in it
- 01:06:04 [tomc]
- yes, I eat children
- 01:06:22 [rm]
- aaron! run!!!
- 01:06:25 [rm]
- lol
- 01:08:34 [tomc]
- I got a magazine/newsletter about glasses today. Oh the fun.
- 01:09:24 [rm]
- i can't get rid of a stupid JDJ subscription i got
- 01:09:50 [tomc]
- It has a little bit about choosing colours of glasses, based on your skin colour
- 01:10:00 [tomc]
- but it assumes you're white
- 01:10:06 [rm]
- lol
- 01:10:08 [rm]
- typical
- 01:10:13 [tomc]
- and all the pictures depict caucasian people
- 01:10:29 [tomc]
- so I thought I'd write a letter of complaint >:)
- 01:11:02 [rm]
- go get 'em
- 01:11:11 [tomc]
- also the font is smallish, which is stupid since it's for visually impaired people
- 01:11:40 [tomc]
- heh, I'm white and I can read it fine, but complaining's fun.
- 01:11:50 [rm]
- sure
- 01:12:28 [tomc]
- though I will have to spend 35(GBP/100) or something on a stamp... *sigh*
- 01:13:14 [sbp]
- it's worth it, though, surely? :-)
- 01:13:46 [tomc]
- Yes. I can champion accessability for one brief moment.
- 01:14:03 [tomc]
- and maybe even spell it correctly.
- 01:14:35 [tomc]
- Having more than one vowel in a language is cruel.
- 01:14:58 [rm]
- wut du yu mun?
- 01:15:31 [tomc]
- uhhhhhhhhh thu swuut smull uf succuss
- 01:15:58 [sbp]
- do you mean one character, or one sound?
- 01:16:01 [tomc]
- not that succuss actually smulls, if one's to be literal about such matters.
- 01:16:32 [sbp]
- we could have STAR for English. That'd be neat
- 01:16:55 [sbp]
- in fact, perhaps STAR is English, in some respects
- 01:16:58 [tomc]
- one character... otherwise spellig would get even more difficult
- 01:17:00 [rm]
- you mean we don't? (cf. UN*X)
- 01:17:28 [tomc]
- sbp.define(STAR) # :o)
- 01:17:29 [sbp]
- that's not star... well, it could be
- 01:17:40 [sbp]
- it's a programming language that Larry Wall came up with
- 01:17:46 [tomc]
- Aha
- 01:17:54 [rm]
- silly, that's perl
- 01:18:01 [tomc]
- hehe
- 01:18:03 [rm]
- and it basically IS english ;-)
- 01:18:08 [tomc]
- before his #1 hit?
- 01:18:13 [rm]
- only written phonetically
- 01:18:19 [rm]
- :-D
- 01:18:32 [tomc]
- heh :)
- 01:18:51 [Morbus]
- heh, heh.
- 01:18:56 [tomc]
- good language
- 01:19:18 [sbp]
- after his number one hit, AFAIK
- 01:19:36 [sbp]
- Perl was nearly perfect... but AWK still floored it on some things
- 01:19:47 [sbp]
- so Larry came up with STAR
- 01:20:09 [tomc]
- I see
- 01:20:30 [rm]
- sounds like the stuff of legend... "Perl was nearly perfect... but AWK still floored it on some things"
- 01:20:43 [rm]
- you're just a druid wannabe aren't you sbp?
- 01:20:44 [tomc]
- :o) it is
- 01:20:55 [sbp]
- well, it is the stuff of legend! it's computing heritage
- 01:21:10 [sbp]
- these will all be myths in 1000 years time
- 01:21:33 [sbp]
- people will be like, "History of computing. Larry Wall invented the computer in 2020, and named it Perl."
- 01:21:43 [Morbus]
- sbp, can you hit my :80/~morbus/

- 01:24:27 [Morbus]
- if you auth'd fine, that was all.
- 01:24:27 [Morbus]

- what's a slot wrapper?
- 01:33:34 [AaronSw]
- it wraps a slot, i bet
- 01:33:41 [sbp]
- aha!

- kinda like argv
- 01:54:36 [rm]

- IBM's got this awesome thingy
- 01:56:57 [rm]
- i think @_ is where perl's cgi module puts all the form params
- 01:57:18 [rm]
- and it's where perl puts the input to a loop when it's expecting an aray
- 01:57:35 [rm]

- 02:11:29 [sbp]
- if I did, I'd be begging for the [dot]!
- 02:12:56 [AaronSw]
- Yeah, I don't think any of it is worth it...
- 02:13:21 [sbp]
- oh... except for lists. But nodes in the list all have first/rest, so I don't think that you can express them in [dot] chains. Plus, N3 already has (), which is good enough
- 02:16:01 [sbp]
- at least you could get nodes: MyList.rest.rest.rest.rest.rest.first
- 02:17:38 [sbp]

In just a moment we're going to reach a milestone in OPN growth, if a bit of a sad one. brin.openprojects.net, a low-pentium-class machine, is being retired from the net after a number of years of service.

- 05:08:50 [AaronSw]

- 05:09:03 [sbp]

- 05:09:30 [sbp]

- 05:13:46 [sbp]
- well, the problem to solve in information management
- 05:14:20 [sbp]

- Notation3 "Style Guide": http://infomesh.net/2001/12/n3style
- 05:20:43 [AaronSw]
- Sort of a weird example to bein with. Ora didn't writ emoby dick!

- I should add
- 05:23:18 [sbp]
- * start directives and new triples on their own lines!
- 05:23:29 [sbp]
- * add a space before the period
- 05:23:44 [sbp]
- * don't use is x of if you can help it
- 05:24:08 [sbp]
- Hmm... and one that I missed in my redrafting
- 05:24:13 [sbp]
- * put the default prefix at the top
- 05:25:04 [sbp]
- * declare type constraints first, then labelling, then subclassing and domain/range, then documentation, then anything else
- 05:26:00 [sbp]
- actually, examples for and against each of the points would be nice too
- 05:26:04 [AaronSw]
- Hm, do we have anything that tests equality of two store?
- 05:26:05 [sbp]

- .. a very large amount of text.
- 22:55:54 [sbp]
- odd
- 22:56:07 [sbp]
- it refuses to load from here
- 23:07:20 [sbp]
- is it the ftp.isi.edu or the www.isi.edu address that is taken as canonical for the media type URIs?
- 23:07:53 [deltab]
- www.iana.org now, I think

- 23:19:28 [redmonk]
- who?
- 23:19:44 [Morbus]
- ant one :)
- 23:19:48 [Morbus]

- 23:19:58 [redmonk]
- only a bit

- 23:22:24 [redmonk]
- ah
- 23:25:45 [AaronSw]
- * AaronSw has done RDB design
- 23:26:14 [AaronSw]
- the design is sorta fun, sql writing is painful, tho
- 23:26:26 [redmonk]
- hance EOF

- ugh, EOF writing is 20x more painful than SQL!!
- 23:27:57 [AaronSw]
- and their generated code sucks
- 23:28:18 [redmonk]
- heh
- 23:28:27 [AaronSw]
- actually, maybe their GUI wasn't so bad...
- 23:28:44 [redmonk]
- the gui is awesome, if buggy.
- 23:28:57 [redmonk]
- using the apis though is pretty cool
- 23:29:05 [redmonk]
- i'd take it over sql any day
- 23:29:19 [redmonk]
- esp. since the same api covers a crapload of databases
- 23:29:31 [redmonk]
- even when each one uses different sql
- 23:29:37 [redmonk]
- you can even do cross-databse relationships
- 23:30:05 [redmonk]
- but i'
