O.K. 16:39:13 13   Below the raïn-wet bough, my love, 16:39:14 14       Where you did never come, 16:39:14 15   An' I don't grieve to miss ye now, 16:39:14 16       As I do grieve at hwome. 16:39:20 at least i think i am 16:39:33 maybe it's more zen than that 16:40:06 I think so 16:40:31 a swhack is the sound of a hollow sun dappled dingle 16:40:38 it's like a reflecting well. a place i dump my thoughts and then listen to what comes back 16:41:45 a festival of whimsy and the occasional bit of sludge 16:42:29 I think that if you start analyzing swhack too much, you'll go nuts 16:42:40 it's just an IRC channel with some wacky people 16:42:45 I think I've already gone nuts... 16:42:48 and bots 16:42:56 heh, heh 16:43:11 xena has left #swhack 16:43:13 xena (xena@mewtwo.espnow.com) has joined #swhack 16:43:20 it's fun though. I was thinking about it the other day: swhack is by now a serious part of the last year or so 16:43:30 a serious part? 16:43:42 yeah. if it went, I'd miss it dearly 16:44:09 and by "went", I mean that the balance somehow changed unfavourably 16:44:18 because all things are in a state of transition 16:44:38 * sbp has to get the phone 16:44:59 AaronSw has changed the topic to: reflections on 9 months of swhackiness 16:45:23 Yes, I'm always worried about that. Probably too much. 16:47:09 * sbp returns 16:47:22 well, it's an interesting topic, and one that I have more thoughts on... 16:47:34 ...but I have to go and get tea, watch The Simpsons, and be generally lazy now 16:47:51 it's that time again! 16:47:53 :-) 16:47:58 .google "it's that man again" 16:47:59 you can reflect more when you get back 16:47:59 "it's that man again": http://www.zip.com.au/~korman/almanac/goodnews.html 16:48:07 just try and stop me :-) 16:48:13 Gotta run 16:51:04 AaronSw has changed the topic to: reflections on nine months of swhackiness 16:51:12 ronmos 16:55:49 it's a living room of friends 17:03:30 ...flashback sequence... 17:03:35 heh, remember the time Morbus left 17:05:48 * AaronSw reads the first day of logs 17:06:00 heh, xWebL. I think that failed because we were both document nitpickers 17:09:49 all these youngins with their splutch and their respawn 17:10:30 in mah day, if we wanted to have a good time we'd paste a google query 17:11:02 hmph, i really should be working on my talk 17:45:46 * jillium appears and chuckles in delight. 17:47:27 * AaronSw re-reads the PSA not to sign things from stangers 17:47:50 only sign their hashes 17:47:53 hey jillium :) 17:48:24 * AaronSw gets out interviewer microphone 17:48:30 "What does #swhack mean to YOU?" 17:48:39 I was about to ask whom you were interviewing. 17:48:45 But I think I know now. 17:48:55 * AaronSw waves microphone around wildly 17:48:57 Lemme grab a glass of water and lose one of the sweaty shirts I am wearing. 17:50:10 Swhack has a good grasp of the technical issues and challenges the industry faces. It's been around the industry long enough to qualify as an observer; at the same time it is still close to the things that really matter to developers. This is an important perspective that often gets lost in other discussion and commentary. This experience also gives it a perspective that is tempered by experience 17:50:10 but not out of touch. 17:53:04 Thanks, xena. 17:53:07 xena: You're speaking of swhack as an entity, where I see it as a looser collective entity. 17:53:30 * jillium has spent very little time on #swhack and doesn't thing her opinions count for much for that reason. 17:53:37 I'm so glad you didn't mistype that 17:53:48 deltab: HA! 17:53:49 mistype what? 17:53:53 "looser"? 17:54:02 yeah :-) 17:54:03 heh... i was wondering about that 17:54:06 hee. 17:54:12 Swhack integrates the collective options into a middleware solution for end-to-end decision making! 17:54:15 I don't confuse "loose" and "lose" 17:54:36 xena just failed the Turing test. She started to sound like a marketer, not a human being. 17:54:45 Oops, did I say that out loud? 17:54:54 * AaronSw giggles 17:55:19 To be serious for a moment, I used to work at a company that had excellent engineering and no marketing, and I hope never ever to do that again. 17:55:35 hm 17:55:46 * AaronSw dashes off to grab lunch. be right back 17:55:53 mmmmm....lunch..... 17:56:47 * AaronSw reappears 17:56:54 coined a new word: displaylative 17:56:57 .google displaylative 17:56:58 no results found. 18:01:38 what does it mean? 18:02:39 something like excessively designed to look good... 18:06:27 hm. what's with the triangle page numbers in appliec cryptography? 18:06:50 * jillium looks.

I know little of this "sha1" of which you speak 21:19:26 jill@kata:jill$ which sha1 21:19:27 /bin/sha1 21:19:30 sha-1, OTOH... that's a different matter 21:19:31 in python: import sha; sha.new(x).hexdigest() 21:19:45 oh, puhleez 21:19:55 ok, 47ecb1f0cfe2705236effaa24b0c51f4467a92c1 even or odd? 21:20:00 jillium, go first 21:20:03 even! 21:20:12 wait, am I hashing it? 21:20:14 aww, you won! it was 5757452474 21:20:17 or guessing? 21:20:21 just guessing 21:20:24 ohhhh, I see. 21:20:29 You just showed me the hash. 21:20:29 you can verify you won by hasing 5757452474 21:20:36 right 21:20:49 * sbp quickly hashes all numbers up to a billion 21:20:55 * AaronSw tries to think of an odd number that hashes to 47ecb1f0cfe2705236effaa24b0c51f4467a92c1 21:21:13 whee, that was fun. 21:21:20 Bah. 21:21:24 integer overflow. 21:21:56 ok sbp, your turn. even or odd? d7d5ffa2738b1b4a77b29b7d75de21a47f7407a6 21:22:40 * AaronSw whistles, notes he picked a number bigger than 1 billion 21:22:59 Well, that was more fun than a barrel of rabid monkeys!

I was like, "Hi", and Aaron was like, "hey there". that was it 21:46:30 "please check the number and try your call again." 21:46:36 Pff 21:46:41 is the 0 at the beginning real? 21:46:45 Hey... we said other things... after a long pause 21:46:51 the 0: nope 21:46:56 +44 1... 21:47:06 actually 01144 1... 21:47:16 well, y'know what I mean (yeah, yeah) 21:47:22 But I have to dial 20 digits to get to that point. 21:47:38 * AaronSw looks for people to inflict his crypto talk upon. 21:47:41 Be back later. 21:47:43 actually, 21, including the "what language I want to speak" digit. 21:47:44 it's a wonder your finger didn't wear out 21:47:49 poor Ben/Noah 21:47:53 * jillium dials with a stump. 21:48:24 ooh, 946399 has a cool hash 21:48:48 It gave me a US busy signal. 21:49:00 Hmm... perhaps I emigrated 21:49:27 That seems the most likely explanation. 21:49:53 you're lucky I didn't get cut off, y'know :-) 21:50:13 _I_ am lucky? I think you might be misplacing the luck. 21:50:32 no chance of that 21:51:10 * jillium accidentally gets into the French system. 21:51:14 whilst my phone manner is utterly delightful, it has been said that I am an acute bore 21:52:00 * jillium accidentally phones a random person. 21:52:05 heh, heh 21:52:19 i thought your line was busy? 21:52:22 it is 21:52:46 if it were not, then I could not be typing this to you now :-) 21:53:01 so I would have discovered for myself your delightful phone manner. 21:53:33 eek 21:53:36 * jillium gets a ring. 21:53:51 heh, you must have dialled incorrectly 21:54:52 yeah. wrong numbers are never engaged 21:55:05 heh, heh 21:55:51 * jillium is on the phone now. 21:56:28 with whom? a similar numbered counterpart? 22:01:43 I'll bet she's conversing with that engaged signal again 22:01:58 \topic get engaged! ring sbp 22:02:45 actually, the toss-a-thon is over, so I do need to find a suitable replacement... 22:04:02 sbp has changed the topic to: Home of crypto talk authors, and people with delightful phone manners 22:04:51 hi again 22:04:56 hello there 22:05:01 hi sbp 22:05:05 jillzilla! 22:05:11 hi aaron 22:05:27 * redmonk thinks jillzilla should always be spelled with a "!" 22:05:28 actually, she's under the guise of jillium at the moment 22:05:36 !illzilla? 22:06:00 * sbp makes the same mistake, though 22:06:07 "jillzilla" is just a cooler nick 22:06:56 does adding "zilla" make anything cooler? 22:07:03 seanzilla 22:07:11 hmm 22:07:39 clearly not 22:08:37 -bert is another matter, though 22:08:39 jillbert! 22:08:51 hehe 22:10:36 * sbp assumes that jillbert is off buying her phone after all 22:37:08 * sbp plays Columbia, Oasis 22:37:35 sbp has changed the topic to: "Shall I Trust These Men, And Not This Man?" - Columbia 22:37:54 [not from the song, BTW] 22:40:59 .google Branle 22:40:59 Branle: http://www.streetswing.com/histmain/z3branl1.htm 22:41:57 bitsko (~ken@kmacleod.static.iaxs.net) has joined #swhack 22:42:14 hey Ken 22:42:17 hey 22:44:21 just an interesting piece of trivia ;) 22:44:27 [OLM] 22:47:42 Hmm... I should release n3s tonight 22:48:18 the documentation is still a bit sparse, though... 22:48:33 n3s? 22:48:56 yep 22:48:57 a Notation3 preprocessor/editor 22:49:34 howdy 22:49:47 talk went reasonably well... looks like i don't have time to cover knapsack 22:49:50 ooh, bitsko! 22:50:01 so has anybody created a PEP (Py proposal) for n3 syntax yet? ;) 22:50:38 don't think so 22:50:47 although it's not all that infeasible 22:51:52 ooh, that reminds me: has anything firmed up on URI to namespace/localname mapping? is it possible to convert from URI to ns/ln and back again losslessly? 22:52:14 no 22:52:47 * sbp plays Go Let It Out. Great song 22:52:53 is it still an open issue? does it belong to TAG or some other group? 22:52:58 nope 22:53:05 why would n3 syntax be in a PEP? 22:53:12 literals in source 22:53:17 it's impossible to roundtrip in current RDF, and that's it. End of discussion 22:53:20 i thought the tag took it up 22:53:21 is it being integrated into Python? 22:53:29 literals in source? 22:53:42 well, the QName issue is still rampant, of course 22:53:45 wmf (~wesley@valentine.felter.org) has joined #swhack 22:53:49 swhack! 22:53:51 wmf! 22:53:59 it's a wmf-bitsko reunion party! 22:54:00 literal triples in python source 22:54:10 hey bitsko 22:54:12 for whatever reasy 22:54:15 hey wes 22:54:16 ah, right. 22:57:14 re. the roundtripping between URI and qname, part of that question comes from deciding how to represent the URI/qname internally in a language, where you can use them for names of attributes or methods 22:57:44 I think DanC is still trying to convince people of concatenation... 22:57:47 in Py, I used a tuple of NS/lname, which worked beautifully, but isn't so RDF friendly 22:58:19 ah, yep: http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/ilist#rdfmsQnameUriMapping-6 22:58:34 concatenation is fine, as long as somewhere it says that the lname is the last component of the URI. if concatenation doesn't require or imply a '/' or '#', that's the problem 22:59:11 (I know I talking to people who know more about this than me, so pretend like that's a request for confirmation ;) 22:59:21 why's it a problem? you just grab the alst character and use that as a localname 22:59:54 huh? 23:00:13 yes, that item on the issues list sounds right on the mark 23:00:37 foo:bar -> foo.org/bar -> ns1:r (foo.org/ba, r) 23:04:49 thought that's what you meant. sure, that makes a "legal" qname if you are, say, serializing some data structure, but it's not very useful in general use 23:05:24 and ns1:bar is better? 23:06:21 when I'm typing in n3 or python? yes. or is that not what you meant? 23:06:53 hm, i guess i don't follow your "not very useful in general use" comment. what more do you want? 23:07:49 I want reversability. if in my py code I store to an attribute ns1:bar, and then serialize that structure, I for sure want the serialization to be some-prefix:bar too 23:08:15 good implementations will do that 23:08:23 not if it's "simply 23:08:31 heh? 23:08:40 s/e/u/ 23:08:50 ah. right. so keep a qname=firstpart mapping and then do matches on that 23:09:21 ugh. i mean foo->http://foo.org/ kind of thing, i forget the right terms 23:09:25 " concatenation. as Aaron's saying, if one writes to ns1:bar and it gets serialized some-funky-namespace:r, that's not a good thing, I would think 23:09:38 uh oh, my pismo isn't charging 23:09:51 are you part of the ac adapter recall? 23:10:07 right, so you keep a list of the mappings, as Aaron said. that's an implementation issue 23:10:23 recall: http://www.apple.com/adapterexchange/ 23:11:08 well, it may be an implementation issue, but it seems it would be one that everybody would have to agree to or there wouldn't be compatibility! 23:11:24 thus raising to the level of standard, not merely implementation 23:12:08 i don't see the incompatibility. want to chat about it in #rdfig? 23:12:11 AaronSw: no, I have the UFO adaptor 23:12:18 maybe I'm overconcerned, and URIs *should* be write-only 23:12:19 ah, the yo-yo 23:12:34 did you break the cord part? that happened to me 23:12:39 but I think I broke the plug just now 23:12:47 i wound it too tight and severed the connection from the plug to the cord 23:12:56 you could see thru the clear cord to see it was broken 23:13:08 uh oh, I see sparks 23:13:13 and i saw sparks 23:13:16 hmm, a side benefit to see-through cords! 23:13:25 apparently i wasn't the only one because the new ones have reinforced edges 23:13:43 I only have 39 minutes left! 23:13:57 your life will end in 39 minutes. what will you do next? 23:14:17 be reincarnated as a rat 23:14:20 quick, i'll email you some electricity 23:14:39 .seen jillium 23:14:46 must be a long phone call 23:15:11 indeed 23:15:18 RFC3251-compliantly? 23:15:31 on a completely different subject, if anyone remembers the ULTra PRT that was discussed on /. a couple of times last month, a US company in Texas has just put up their first 45ft of guideway for testing of their system. 23:15:40 deltab: heh! 23:16:16 cool pre-requisites 23:16:19 I wonder if Apple has a 3251-implementation 23:17:01 that'd be great: "There's no step 2!" 23:17:15 * AaronSw laughs very loudly 23:17:31 and with airport? there's no step 1! 23:17:39 wmf: re. HDTV on your Friday item, our local Time Warner has 2 HBO, 2 Showtime, and the local CBS channel in HDTV 23:17:42 ahaha 23:17:44 they'd have to rename it teslaport 23:17:54 yay 23:18:28 ok, duct tape has been applied 23:18:48 is it working again? 23:18:54 nope 23:19:16 Tom Ridge has upgraded the situation to code red 23:19:24 34 minutes 23:19:28 sbp: is AN3 only what you have documented on that page, or is it defined elsewhere? 23:19:45 and what does AN3 stand for anyway 23:19:54 Fry's is open until 7 23:19:59 Abbreviated 23:20:05 can you get there in 34 minutes, tho? 23:20:14 sure, it's 6 minutes away 23:20:14 sbp, keyowrd? 23:20:19 it says on the page :-) 23:20:21 quick, run! 23:21:00 wmf has quit ("grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr") 23:21:05 * sbp cross RFC 1149 with RFC 3251, and ends up with Electricity via. Avian Carrier 23:21:13 * jillium reappears. 23:21:14 http://infomesh.net/2002/n3s/n3s.txt 404: Not Found 23:21:18 long phonecall, eh? 23:21:20 Sounds like zapping flying birds. 23:21:24 Long phone call! 23:21:32 gah, what is it with people and their abuse of # today? 23:21:35 electricity over phone 23:21:49 heh 23:22:07 we randomly guessed that you said # for anyone that cares: http://infomesh.net/2002/n3s/ 23:22:14 and redistributed it to those who care (log readers) 23:22:15 heh. thanks 23:22:29 AaronSw: http://hiob.fanfiles.net/sonst/killer.jpg 23:22:44 * [deleted] does the Happy Good Phone Call dance. 23:22:58 heh! @ killer.jph 23:23:00 err jpg 23:24:52 s/cross/crosses/ 23:25:00 (in the action way back when) 23:25:18 sbp: I'm not getting it about how it guesses prefixes, what's it doing there? 23:25:38 maybe it has a list of well-known prefixes 23:25:39 it has a big list of them stored internally 23:25:42 n'er mind 23:25:50 I actually did a survey of the most commonly used prefixes on my HD 23:26:19 * sbp has megs and megs of N3 23:27:17 but he's not come up with a solution for world peace yet 23:27:29 well, I tried cwm *.n3... 23:27:38 but there were syntax errors! ugh 23:27:51 ick 23:28:06 can you imagine feeding c.15MB of N3 into CWM and getting it to --think? heh 23:28:12 monokrom (mekanik100@208-58-239-1.s1.tnt1.atnnj.pa.dialup.rcn.com) has joined #swhack 23:28:14 heh 23:28:32 do you have the results of the prefix survey up? i assume you did something like grep "@prefix" *.n3 | sort -u 23:29:04 no I wrote a Python program to regexp, sort, and count them properly 23:29:11 just a small thing 23:29:20 404 http://infomesh.net/2002/n3s/n3s.txt 23:29:25 I know! argh! 23:29:40 well, upload it already! 23:29:53 I haven't put it up yet. When you distribute a single half-baked file to people in confidence, you don't expect to have to put in all the linked files 23:30:04 make me 23:30:30 I haven't even made the binary yet. still debugging 23:30:47 well, testing. the debugging stopped ages ago, so perhaps it passes 23:30:55 for some months I've thought that n3 could do with an @alias directive 23:31:05 @alias a rdfs:type 23:31:14 @alias => log:implies 23:31:40 sounds good 23:31:59 I didn't want to interrupt the discussion the other day 23:32:01 well, except that allowing => would mean tokenizing everything... 23:32:18 you'd hardly have been "interrupting" with an apt and important point! 23:32:41 I think that :-, =, and => are shoddy, in all honesty 23:32:51 does n3s have it's own new n3 parser? I'd heard... things... about the cwm n3 parser. 23:32:55 :- should be is, = should be eq, and => should be implies 23:33:09 yep, it has a tokenizer 23:33:20 but not a parser 23:33:27 bitsko, have you looked at the yapps-based parser? 23:33:29 it's nicer 23:33:39 i actually think sbp should have built on that... 23:33:40 well, that's a parser, of sorts. But not a processor. Define both 23:33:50 For extra credit, write both 23:34:09 nah, I don't like the Yapps stuff when Python has a perfectly good regexp facility 23:34:21 plus it's an extra dependency 23:34:26 too much baggage 23:34:32 ugh: -- it was so good until the # 23:34:33 yes, I just recently was playing with Py parsers. got almost a half-done implementation of a gpic->Wiki/Py/SVG thingy done when I found that MoinMoin already has a GUI graphics editor 23:34:36 s/when/as/ 23:34:44 until the #: heh, heh 23:34:52 heh 23:34:53 I did that so that CWM would break it nicely 23:35:30 some things are nicer 23:36:01 nah, I wasn't particularly concerned that it got lost 23:36:25 bitsko talks to himself... 23:36:53 "Pretty prints the output, removing comments and other useless material" 23:36:57 comments aren't useless! 23:37:04 ah, but they should be in RDF 23:37:13 lots of good data being hidden 23:37:14 useless to the program 23:37:17 hmph 23:37:27 * sbp ^5's deltab 23:37:48 doesn't mean they shouldn't be converted into other fromats 23:37:59 what about stuff like # @@fix this 23:38:16 * bitsko thinks gpic for a Wiki would be bliss. should probably just finish it ;) 23:38:25 * sbp should write a triples annotation thing 23:38:35 * sbp probably won't do, though 23:39:03 hm? "rdf:type :gunge blargh ." 23:39:14 why doesn't blargh have a : ? 23:39:32 and keyowrd is still mispeled 23:40:02 i used to think everyone should spell mispeled, but then i realize it wouldn't be mispelled if that happened 23:41:47 Ash (~amathews@166.70.45.199) has joined #swhack 23:41:54 HELLO ASH 23:41:58 hey, did our friend neo85 ever come back? 23:42:02 nope :( 23:42:03 HELLO AARONSW HOW R U TODAY 23:42:06 aww 23:42:08 that sucks :-( 23:42:11 blargh is a keyword 23:42:14 maybe he broke his computer 23:42:17 ehehe 23:42:18 WMF AND I ARE HAX0RING PLANETS 23:42:32 haha 23:42:32 .http://infomesh.net/2002/apr-test.n3 23:42:33 OH SWEET, TEH PLANAT HAXORING!@$ 23:42:33 @keyword a, this, blargh . @use gunge, blargh . @use a, some . @prefix default . @prefix : . a gunge blargh . some great this . wonderful a some . some a blargh . ?x ?y ?z . 23:42:47 oh. /me reads up on @use 23:43:38 and seems you forgot to quote here: "$ n3s -s '@prefix default .

I've always used -p for pipe, for some reason. Just a quirk 23:48:06 -c or nothing before code in an arg 23:49:08 well, the code's easy enough to modify :-) 23:49:57 ta da: http://infomesh.net/2002/n3s/n3s.txt 23:53:07 the .tar.gz of the binary is also available 23:54:41 redmonk has quit ("cya") 23:55:54 wow. graphviz is pic on steroids. thx 23:57:42 np 23:57:43 aargh, n3s puts spaces around my po pairs 23:57:50 i think we need a --bijam 23:57:53 err bijan 23:57:59 of course. it would be much more difficult to take them out 23:58:12 it just does ' '.join(tokens) basically 23:58:21 after removing the space before ; and around () 23:58:41 it could do the same with [] 23:58:46 it could 23:58:49 and . 23:58:52 and {} 23:59:08 but why would it do a silly thing like that?
