03:19:12 <GregorR> It's amazing how different the Freenode culture is from the rest of the IRC universe.
03:19:45 <Robdgreat> Explain that to me
03:19:59 <Robdgreat> Because you're not the first I've seen make that observation
03:20:11 <GregorR> Well for one, they're never out to burn out your eyes in Freenode.
03:20:18 <GregorR> That color combo wasn't as bad as I intended ...
03:20:22 <GregorR> Well for one, they're never out to burn out your eyes in Freenode.
03:20:31 <GregorR> Well for one, they're never out to burn out your eyes in Freenode.
03:20:33 <Robdgreat> oh fuck
03:20:34 <GregorR> There we go.
03:20:36 <Robdgreat> you are teh evil
03:20:46 <GregorR> In fact, colors on freenode are rare.
03:20:56 <Robdgreat> which is just fine
03:20:58 <GregorR> Two, though most people don't use grammar, "u" and "r", etc are quite rare.
03:21:08 <Robdgreat> I LOVE that
03:22:09 <GregorR> And overall, it just has some sort of nonquantifiable difference.
03:27:59 <kipple> $t0p wh1n1ng n00bz0rz!!!! fr33N00B iz teh g4y3zt
03:28:09 <kipple> ;-)
03:28:39 <GregorR> Wonderful.
03:29:23 <kipple> now if you only add leet to egobot....
03:30:11 <kipple> um, l33t I mean...
03:30:58 <GregorR> Yes, a language with networking, that sounds genius.
03:31:17 <kipple> hehe.
03:31:50 <kipple> hmm. l33t is not in the normal language list nor the joke list (in the wiki)
03:32:04 <kipple> which one is appropriate, I wonder
03:44:09 <Robdgreat> Gregor, what was that code server you're on, again?
03:44:14 <Robdgreat> my dev server is having issues :/
03:45:40 <GregorR> ...?
03:45:52 <Robdgreat> I asked you about it shortly after first coming in here.
03:46:00 <Robdgreat> some hosting account with code in the name
03:46:07 <GregorR> codu?
03:46:18 <Robdgreat> I think it had code in the name. wasn't codu
03:46:25 <GregorR> To the logs!
03:46:28 <Robdgreat> ah yes
03:49:11 <Robdgreat> I'll find it. question: what's the simplest way to clear a file in *nix, while not actually deleting it
03:49:50 <kipple> cat /dev/null > filename ?
03:50:43 <Robdgreat> ok
03:50:44 <Robdgreat> thanks
03:51:03 <kipple> it was a suggestion, there could be easier ways...
03:51:11 <Robdgreat> that's easy enough
03:51:25 <Robdgreat> a massive log file put me over quota.
03:51:37 <GregorR> So why didn't you want to actually delete it?
03:52:00 <Robdgreat> I wanted to know how to clear it for future reference, if nothing else
03:52:10 <GregorR> Mmm
03:52:22 <GregorR> Yeah, cat /dev/null > it is a pretty effective way.
03:53:29 <GregorR> But awesome rox0r C users just write this program: int main(int argc, char **argv) { int i; FILE *fl; for (i = 1; argv[i]; i++) { fl = fopen(argv[i], "w"); if (fl) fclose(fl); } return 0; }
03:55:15 <Robdgreat> yes.
03:56:17 <GregorR> Oh wait, I just remembered that there's a truncate syscall :P
03:56:24 <kipple> what a lot of code to do something so simple. here is a nice brainfuck program to do it: . (just run bf clearfile.b > filename)
03:57:00 <kipple> hmm, no that wouldn't make it completely empty. forget about that
03:57:04 <GregorR> int main(int argc, char **argv) { int i; for (i = 1; argv[i]; i++) truncate(argv[i], 0); }

05:15:23 -!- calamari has joined.
05:56:59 <fizzie> open(argv[i], O_WRONLY | O_TRUNC) would be a lot more impressive than some puny fopen(). Although there is that truncate.
05:58:51 <fizzie> And to abuse: main(c,v)char*v;{while(++v)truncate(*v);}
05:59:05 <GregorR> Hey yeah XD
06:25:05 <GregorR> Proof that Gregor has too much free time: I just made a minute-long ASCII-art pr0n.
06:26:09 <Robdgreat> We didn't need proof.
06:26:11 <Robdgreat> ;)
07:17:43 <GregorR> Woah, #asciipr0n was not a good place to join XD
07:46:20 <calamari> did it get you too excited?

19:20:21 <GregorR> drew0plzx
19:20:22 <GregorR> GregorRWell, no, I don't actually, I don't really listen to much music other than the radio, but I'm confused as per when it was suggested that I would send some sort of music or something ...
19:20:24 <GregorR> drew0nerd
19:20:25 <GregorR> GregorROK *shrugs*
19:22:37 <GregorR> I'm proud of my ASCII pr0n, but that encounter was just scary XD
19:23:18 <calamari> bah, hard house sux
19:23:49 <GregorR> At the time I didn't even realize that by "house" he meant the musical style.
19:24:12 <GregorR> drew0u gonna hax me or wat bra
19:24:13 <GregorR> drew0????
19:24:16 <GregorR> GregorR..............................?

19:24:20 <GregorR> GregorRis now quite confused.
19:24:21 <GregorR> drew0u got some house 2 trade bra?
19:24:23 <GregorR> drew0???????
19:24:24 <GregorR> GregorRI'm trying to decipher that .... and failing ...
19:24:25 * calamari runs "apt-get install libc6" not something you can do every day :)

19:24:46 <GregorR> lol
19:24:48 <GregorR> Awesome.
19:25:41 <calamari> finally got all my prblems worked out.. so now I can finally build a real system
19:25:49 <calamari> how long did that take
19:26:17 <calamari> seems like I've been messing with it for more than a week
19:26:22 <GregorR> lol
19:26:32 * GregorR leaves for class - see y'all later.
19:26:38 <calamari> cya GregorR
19:32:40 <calamari> lol, it requires me to run a perl script to complete the install

23:24:32 <calamari> hi graue
23:24:45 <graue> I have been learning m4, the UNIX macro language, lately
23:24:56 <graue> it is in a class of languages that are pretty esoteric but still useful
23:24:58 <calamari> hehe still don't have the official /etc/inittab.. not sure what package it's in
23:25:09 <graue> there should be more languages like that
23:25:59 <graue> too many esolangs are still following the old "hard to program in, easy to implement" formula, but since Brainfuck there has been little true innovation there
23:26:20 <lament> well
23:26:26 <lament> the language also has to be easy to learn
23:26:39 <lament> otherwise nobody would have enough of an attention span to try that.
23:26:46 <lament> m4 probably doesn't qualify there.
23:27:00 <graue> I had enough of an attention span to try it
23:27:46 <lament> m4 at least has some real world uses.
23:27:47 <calamari> I should learn awk sometime
23:30:03 <calamari> wow, these debian packages really know how to use up disk space :)
23:32:49 <GregorR-L> It's a talent of Debian packagers
