I can rock with apple too fi you do :) ) 14:30:30 good point. 14:30:31 apple is replacing the display, the keyboard, the cdrom drive, the logic board, the main board and the display bezel on an out-of-warrantee machine for $300 14:30:43 wow. 14:30:49 what happened to the machine? 14:30:50 (actually, we were given $1000 from the insurance co. for this repair) 14:31:09 normal wear and tear, i say :) 14:31:55 that's some good customer service. 14:32:20 no kidding 14:32:22 so the yesterday.rss should be a symlink. 14:32:46 ok, so you just need to calculate yesterday's day at midnight? 14:33:24 yup. 14:33:48 at midnight, have a cron script that creates the symlick in the proper place, pointing to yesterday's file. 14:34:38 I'll see what I can come up with. all I have to work on is a redhat box though (should be pretty much the same.) 14:34:52 this box is a redhat box, so it should be fine 14:34:58 cool. 14:41:39 @ http://www.nytimes.com/2002/06/18/technology/18LINU.html 14:41:53 C: http://www.nytimes.com/2002/06/18/technology/18LINU.html from AaronSw 14:42:05 C:|Disney Embraces GNU/Linux for Film Animation 14:42:12 titled item C 14:43:02 Pixar has always used unix, and Disney has been using unix in various functions since the mid 80s 14:43:14 C::Probably part of their cost-cutting plan: get labor from China, code from the net... 14:43:18 (I was an aspiring computer animator in a previous life) 14:43:22 commented item C 14:43:27 pixel, pls tell the chump 14:46:50 C::Also, Pixar (now nearly a division of Disney) has been using Unix render farms since it's inception, and Disney has been using Unix in various functions (cell coloring, background matte paintings) since the mid 80's 14:47:00 commented item C 14:48:04 I can't imagine Jobs selling out to Disney, but you've got a point there 14:48:55 I don't imagine he'd ever seel out either, but the vast majority of pixar's income is currently from Disney licensing. 14:50:54 Aaron: I thought you'd skimmed all of the comments from the notabug.com logs? could you do so, and/or set a robot.txt file in the meantime to prevent the Web archive from picking it up? 14:51:16 sbp, wanna code it? :) 14:51:29 grep -v "> #" 14:51:33 hehe 14:51:49 well, i skimmed the comments to read them ;) 14:52:12 well it shouldn't be too difficult to do a search and replace by line, then 14:52:26 it's easy for the text ones, but how about the rdf, eh? 14:52:44 robots.txt should do for now until you figure it out 14:52:58 I'm sure that if you want to do something badly enough, you'll figure it out rather quickly 14:53:03 eh, i looked thru them -- there wasn't much that was that incriminating 14:53:16 even if i skimmed the logs from there, they'd still be in the loggy/logster thing 14:54:08 well, we switched from # to [off] at some point. I'll find out when that was 14:54:25 but [off] will appear in the blogspace logs 14:54:34 we gotta do a big merge sometime 14:55:09 2002-06-04 14:55:34 yes. just delete # comments from before 2002-06-04 from notabug, and [off] from logster after 2002-06-04 14:56:01 in fact, if you just take the blogspace logs for before 2002-06-04 and the notabug logs from after 2002-06-04, it'll do it automatically 14:56:24 what about spots where one dropped out? 14:56:26 (there's just the gap where blogspace went down to account for) 14:56:42 well, pick them up from notabug.com and run grep -v "> #" over it or whatever 14:57:17 then we have the rdf logs to deal with 14:57:29 hands up anyone who uses the rdf logs... 14:57:35 O.K. then 14:58:25 heh, you're so evil 14:59:04 [drawl] just upholding people's privacy concerns, ma'am. just doin' ma jorb 14:59:44 yer jorb, eh? 15:00:30 well, I've said a lot of things in the shadows of the logs too, and if I said them off-log, I'm pretty sure that I did so for a reason 15:00:56 That doesn't mean it's a good reason. 15:01:03 really, taking that ability away is a bit cruel, but fair enough... but why not just publish all of your private chat logs for that matter? 15:02:26 Hey, if you give me a shell script or a python script or whatever, i'd be happy to fix things up. I'm just lazy. 15:02:41 what's wrong with grep -v "> #"?! 15:02:48 but fine, I'll write something a bit better 15:03:23 grep -v on what? 15:03:36 on the missing blogspace logs 15:03:38 there are tons of files, you have to make sure the input and the output all go t othe right place 15:04:18 $ grep -v "> #" 15:04:20 well, go on now 15:04:20 well, go on now 15:04:20 come on! 15:04:20 come on! 15:04:20 hey, stop that! 15:04:22 hey, stop that! 15:04:42 well, for a start, you can do this rather easily: in fact, if you just take the blogspace logs for before 2002-06-04 and the notabug logs from after 2002-06-04, it'll do it automatically 15:05:06 and then you just have to run a simple grep -v or Python regexp 'n' replace over the gap 15:05:21 hello!
