Aaron 21:38:56 So, Sean, written any new songs today? 21:39:28 well, I've written several short bits -- I'm working on combining them now. 21:40:11 AaronSw: we were talking about this earlier: http://www.chc-3.com/pub/beautifulsoftware.htm 21:40:15 well, the concept, at least. 21:40:26 oierw (~mathew@pcp994425pcs.goosck01.sc.comcast.net) has joined #swhack 21:41:07 right now, I'm working on getting CWM to generate MIDI files 21:41:11 Interesting:- 21:41:12 [[[ 21:41:13 Excuse me, computational hypertext, if you mean what we called "virtual 21:41:13 hypertext" 21:41:13 was introduced in the form of the CERN phone book in in 1991 before the web 21:41:13 software was announced on usenet.

Aaron Swartz, "MusicBrainz: A Semantic Web Service", IEEE Intelligent Systems, Jan/Feb 2002, pp. 76-77. (PDF, old HTML). 21:50:29 ;-) 21:52:13 Aaron, how come http://www.aaronsw.com/about returns XML instead of HTML? 21:52:24 I have to add the .html as in http://www.aaronsw.com/about.html 21:52:50 Why not? I can submit it to DanBri's FOAF database then. 21:53:06 thc (~lambda@modem-1322.monkey.dialup.pol.co.uk) has joined #swhack 21:53:06 well, you could by adding .xrdf 21:53:49 Or do it by content negotiation? 21:54:10 Apache should be doing that... 21:54:13 Why add all that extra redundancy? 21:54:24 The extension, I mean. 21:54:55 how is it redundant? 21:55:36 What's the point in making the URI longer, when I want to serve XML as the default? 21:55:49 why do you want to serve XML as the default? 21:56:00 and oh dear, you're using fragments! 21:56:02 Note the Content-Location header. 21:56:26 Oops, I've got to go. Dinner 21:56:31 what does that have to do with anything? 21:56:32 * AaronSw is away: dinner 21:56:42 oh, feck! 21:56:46 Gotta run 21:59:02 oh hey, AaronSw or sbp, i had a question. 21:59:04 mmkay. 21:59:15 currently, in the ampheta OPML, i use "xmlurl" to represent the URL to the RSS file. 21:59:20 of course, it starts with http:// 21:59:34 what i'd like to do is have the ability to do something like plugin://pluginname 21:59:48 hm 21:59:50 go on 21:59:51 which would say "hey, we got a scraper named in ~/plugins, so use that for the XML data. 21:59:52 thoughts? 22:00:29 what does the plugin scrape? 22:00:32 just one site? 22:00:52 AaronSw` (~aaronsw@63.149.73.20) has joined #swhack 22:00:53 right. there'd be one plugin whose purpose would be to suck down the HTML and create a valid RSS file from it. 22:00:53 or should it be ://source 22:01:02 * AaronSw` waves from the dinnertable 22:01:04 ah 22:01:05 hehe 22:01:14 * redmonk waves, spills drink 22:01:26 * AaronSw` reads logs 22:01:34 Ugh, not new URI schemes! 22:01:34 well, i don't like :// becuase it doesn't adequately say that its a plugin. 22:01:41 yeah, i knew you'd say that AaronSw`, thats why i was asking. 22:01:52 fine 22:01:55 have it your way 22:01:56 ;-) 22:02:02 i don't want to use :// but that's my intention. so, thoughts? 22:02:12 you can't tell the plugin from the file? 22:02:20 hmm? 22:02:31 There's no way to tell which plugin to use just by looking at the file? 22:02:32 like plugin.pl would create a .rss in the normal place. 22:02:40 just as if .rss had been downloaded from the web. 22:02:47 I see... 22:02:53 instead of GETting the data, we're having the plugin create the rss with a scrape 22:03:19 morb - why are you using opml - wanted to ask that 22:03:22 You're probably best off with a contenttype attribute with the plugin as a value. 22:03:26 compatibility with radio userland. 22:03:33 ah. why? 22:03:56 because amphetadesk was greatly influenced by the agg. in the first RU release. 22:03:57 I think RU uses something like that... maybe it's nodeType 22:04:05 and anything I did, I wanted easy swapping between the two. 22:04:11 cool 22:04:23 AaronSw, but then that would leave xmlurl blank. 22:04:28 right. ok. 22:04:32 so... 22:04:38 Doesn't the plugin need to know a URL to scrape? 22:05:05 22:05:15 yeah, that looks good 22:05:21 k. 22:05:28 plugins may be in the next version, btw :) 22:05:48 basically, with the outlne above, there'd also be a filename="" attribute. 22:06:16 as long as the plugin could be "run" by AmphetaDesk, passed the (htmlurl, filename) as parameters, then the internals wouldn't matter. 22:06:36 the plugin would be expected to save the rss into ~/channels/filename and that'd be it. 22:07:45 thoughts? 22:08:02 sounds cool 22:08:09 with this current idea, AaronSw`, you could create a perl plugin that just system's a python script. 22:08:17 suddently, you can write python plugins, assuming python is on the system. 22:08:24 why can't you just write the plugin in Python? 22:08:32 and use normal UNIX calling 22:08:39 right, that's the idea. 22:08:41 (system, i guess in perl) 22:08:47 oh, i gotcha... 22:08:48 hmm... 22:09:02 well, then, there'd have be to command line flag support on the OS. 22:09:11 and i don't think that's possible on Classic Mac. 22:09:27 i'm pretty sure it is... 22:09:29 like "plugin.pl -htmlurl= -filename=" 22:09:47 welp, then i'd have to start worrying about executables and permissions and so forth. 22:10:08 if plugin.pl wasn't executable (how do you make a os 9 file "executable") then a simple command like that wouldn't work. 22:10:14 yeah, i gues 22:10:44 i'd have to start worrying about "perl plugin.pl" and "python plugin.py" and so forth. 22:10:57 no, that's what shbang is for 22:11:16 #!/usr/bin/python 22:11:19 shebang never works for me 22:11:20 hmm, not very cross-platform 22:11:22 well, assuming that the file is executable, yeah. 22:11:25 right. 22:11:42 [[[ 22:11:45 [staging:/Build/Scripts] sid% ./tarApps.sh 22:11:45 ./tarApps.sh: Command not found. 22:11:45 ]]] 22:11:59 yeah. 22:12:01 what's the first line? 22:12:05 of tarApps.sh 22:12:11 i'd rather just have a one line perl script that systems() off to the right stuff, controlled by the plugin author. 22:12:26 it's in /bin/sh i think 22:12:34 no /usr/ 22:12:37 ah 22:13:00 funny how that helps. 22:13:04 heh, heh 22:13:08 * redmonk smacks forehead 22:13:32 AaronSw`, via python, what's the easiest way to send CL flags to a script? 22:13:49 to call another script from within python? 22:13:50 on the command line ;-) 22:13:58 no... 22:14:11 like say ./script.py could accept two CL arguments. 22:14:26 -arg val -arg val 22:14:28 what's easier: -htmlurl="" --htmlurl="", or just 22:14:29 k 22:14:34 IMO only 22:14:45 k. 22:14:48 * redmonk defers to asw + sbp 22:14:59 once i get that plugin stuff built in, i'd like to test it with some of you then. 22:15:14 oh, I see what you mean 22:15:28 easiest is probably ./script.py htmlurlhere otherthinghere 22:15:37 k 22:15:39 oh yeah 22:16:17 see, at least with a perl plugin wrapper, i don't have to worry about executable permissions or even shabangs - i can eval right within the code. 22:16:53 AaronSw: tell me why "type" is the best solution for representing the plugin in the 22:17:01 pff. god, i said "solution". 22:17:04 you know what i mean. 22:17:13 well, using an enterprise management system... 22:17:26 heh heh 22:17:31 it's because new url schemes are bad and metadata is good 22:17:39 it doesn't have to be called type, tho 22:17:40 right, i know about the url stuff. 22:17:51 i didn't want to use url stuff, but thats the quickest way i could get across what i wanted ;) 22:18:03 i mean, could i just name it plugin="" and be done with it? 22:18:19 there's nothing "special" about "type"? 22:18:30 type is what RU uses to decide what the type of the outline node is 22:18:32 well, only in RU 22:18:51 gimme some examples? rtf? html? 22:18:51 like link/song/buddy/code/comment 22:18:54 ah. ok. 22:19:01 ahhh. 22:19:12 well, if i were to take that to heart, then it'd be like type="plugin". 22:20:34 yeah 22:20:39 on a side note, there are plans to have filename=""'s be URIs on other systems. 22:21:02 what do you mean? 22:21:03 * redmonk remembers again why he hates OPML in it's current incarnation 22:21:08 so someone with an always on machine could either host the scraper data himself for everyone, or else upload it every hour to a always on server, allowing other people to use the scraper data. 22:21:15 * redmonk must one day rewrite OPML as rdf 22:21:55 ah 22:22:04 what do you think about that? 22:22:09 neat 22:22:27 becuause i want the scrapers on the local ampheta install, but i do want the data to be shared too. 22:22:41 remove the server tech, but release the data garnered. 22:23:27 actually... 22:23:30 i wouldn't even have to do that. 22:23:38 have filename="" be a remote uri. 22:23:59 i could just have a prefernece of "upload scraped data to host|un|pw|dir" and then have a function that plugins could call. 22:24:06 mirror_to_scraped_server or whatever. 22:24:45 downside to that is I'm forcing plugin authors to *use* mirror_to_scraped_server as opposed to save_to($filename); 22:24:57 where save_to would do the work for the local system and the remote server 22:25:14 why not put the login in save_to 22:25:20 er, logic 22:25:28 yeah... thats what i'm thinking. 22:25:32 actually, i could go even further. 22:25:36 instead of passing $filename to the plugin. 22:25:53 i could just assume that the plugin is going to return the RSS file to Ampheta, and then ampheta would handle the saving. 22:26:02 "actually, i could go even further..." 22:26:08 then, the plugin would truly ONLY be the scraper, as opposed to being a scraper and a filesaver. 22:26:18 "actually, i could go even further..." 22:26:20 yeah, that would work a lot better. 22:26:21 ;-) 22:26:26 hehehe 22:26:35 shuddup ;) 22:27:09 i think every perl hacker is really in the process of trying to (possibly unconsciously) create the perl os 22:27:17 "actually, i could go even further..." 22:27:22 hehehe. 22:27:26 there has been work on a perl os. 22:27:30 sorta like zawinski's law 22:27:30 i know 22:27:37 and a complete redux of all the gnu utils in perl. 22:27:41 ewww! 22:27:50 that's the most disgusting thing i've ever heard 22:27:52 22:27:54 i need to go lie down now... 22:28:07 AaronSw`: http://www.perl.com/language/ppt/ 22:28:57 yeah... 22:29:00 the more i think about it. 22:29:12 the plugin wil just accept a URL and return a RSS file. 22:29:20 ampheta would do the rest. 22:29:29 that would make them far more transportable to things outside of ampheta too. 22:33:01 cool 22:36:52 this also would allow me to make a blogifyYourPage plugin. 22:36:57 that could be passed on. 22:37:13 which would allow me to say "hey! use this XMLURL first, but if it fails, then use the plugin="" instead" 22:38:14 sbp` (sbp@m200-mp1-cvx3b.pop.ntl.com) has joined #swhack 22:38:57 Nice conneg setup on /about 22:39:05 huh? 22:39:39 On aaronsw.com 22:40:01 Do not think he is doing content negotiation... could do though :) 22:40:09 He is 22:40:16 Cool. 22:41:04 indeed 22:43:15 you could even go further... 22:43:39 multiple plugins could be odne like plugins="morbus,geomisk,sbp" 22:43:51 morbus would run, pipe to geomisk, pipe to sbp, and sbp would be used as the final RSS feed. 22:44:04 geomisk? 22:44:12 good friend of mine. he suggested the idea. 22:44:15 logster, where am i? 22:44:15 See http://blogspace.com/swhack/chatlogs/2002-03-27#T22-44-15 22:45:33 * sbp` reads 22:46:32 yeah, just missed an ampheta plugin discussion. 22:54:47 Morbus has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)) 22:56:03 SeanP (sbp@m321-mp1-cvx3b.pop.ntl.com) has joined #swhack 22:57:22 this "range of HTTP" discussion on www-tag get weirder by the minute 22:57:24 Tim still maintains that the range of HTTP is a generic document 22:57:25 I do think that most people off of the street would agree if you reasoned with them a bit 23:07:14 Hmm... 23:07:22 I tried making a conversational text editor once 23:08:35 that could be interesting 23:09:15 I think Emacs has such a feature, optionally 23:09:23 really? odd 23:10:01 I remember something about a text editor with AI-incorporation...
