00:08:30 <fizzie> The longer descriptions at the image pages are more... verbose.
00:09:12 <fizzie> For example, the one with the short description "mailboxes" has a long description: "Mailboxes. Lowercase 'a', lowercase 'b'... uppercase 'C'? Why? Why?! OHGAHGHGHAGH WHAT DOES IT MEAN!! AN ARMY OF SNEEZING WANGS STALKS MY NIGHTMARE ...really, there wasn't that much to see."

14:56:59 <AnMaster> tusho, yes more or less
14:57:01 <AnMaster> ;D
14:57:37 <AnMaster> I think he may be saying that it is his way to relax, to turn his brain off
14:57:42 <AnMaster> optbot, are you male or female?
14:57:42 <optbot> AnMaster: hard to say if something is a euphamism

14:58:37 <AnMaster> that is bad
14:58:40 <tusho> yes
14:58:44 <tusho> optbot: we're gonna have to put you in rehab
14:58:45 <optbot> tusho: to allow pushing several in one row
14:58:51 <AnMaster> well
14:58:56 <tusho> optbot: no, you can't take drugs any more sorry
14:58:56 <optbot> tusho: what is your complaint
14:59:07 <tusho> optbot: drugs are bad for computer programs mmkay
14:59:07 <optbot> tusho: I dunno. :|
14:59:12 <AnMaster> tusho, and that explains why he is talking nonsense sometimes. Some drugs make you act weird
14:59:19 <tusho> optbot: no, i'm pretty sure artificial programs in memory shouldn't take drugs :D
14:59:20 <optbot> tusho: can i try?
14:59:23 <tusho> optbot: NO DAMNIT
14:59:24 <optbot> tusho: smalltalk is pretty cool.
14:59:31 <tusho> optbot: yes i can see you are an expert at it
14:59:31 <optbot> tusho: then i realized it actually was elp!
14:59:37 <tusho> o_____________________o
14:59:41 <AnMaster> elp is?
14:59:45 <tusho> optbot: what is elp
14:59:45 <optbot> tusho: well the ones with a computational agent, a turtle, are the ones people usually make, simple to invent, usually tc, not at all nice to program
14:59:57 <tusho> looks like he's back on the drugs
15:00:11 <AnMaster> tusho, actually he may be speaking of Logo
15:00:13 <AnMaster> turtles
15:00:17 <tusho> ah
15:00:19 <tusho> but what is elp
15:00:26 <AnMaster> tusho, now that I can't answer
15:00:53 * AnMaster ponders
15:01:18 <AnMaster> tusho, maybe a drug?
15:02:13 <AnMaster> optbot, so were you talking about Logo there?
15:02:14 <optbot> AnMaster: ah.
15:02:47 <AnMaster> optbot, That reply would had made sense for a statement, but I asked a question...
15:02:47 <optbot> AnMaster: "nats"?
15:02:57 <AnMaster> tusho, definitely drugs I think...
15:08:12 <KingOfKarlsruhe> optbot: (define (foo x) (+ x x))(foo 10)
15:08:12 <optbot> KingOfKarlsruhe: There's a family name in my family that hasn't been used for, oh, ten generations or so.
15:09:14 <AnMaster> optbot, what name is that?
15:09:14 <optbot> AnMaster: what's wrong with this one?, (define (fib n) (+ (fib (- n 1) (- n 2))))
15:09:37 <AnMaster> optbot, sorry don't know lisp really
15:09:38 <optbot> AnMaster: unsafe functionality in PSOX: Things like opening files
15:10:08 <AnMaster> optbot, for any PSOX discussion I suggest talking to Sgeo
15:10:08 <optbot> AnMaster: it was actually me not understanding git that made me take so long
15:11:23 <KingOfKarlsruhe> optbot: (let ([x 42][y 18])(+ x y))
15:11:23 <optbot> KingOfKarlsruhe: (Kipple note) Since kipple buffers input, you will have to send all of the input and then an EOF command.  See !help eof

15:13:03 <AnMaster> hm

16:03:25 <GregorR> There were these groups of old guys proselytizing with their little green fairytale books on campus today. On the way from my bus stop to my building there were three, which is ridiculous because it's one block.
16:03:40 <GregorR> Anyway, I told the first one to fuck off, and neither of the other two bothered me.
16:03:42 <GregorR> Have I been marked?
16:17:53 <tusho> holy fuck! AnMaster told ais523 to rotate HIS logs, look at THIS:
16:17:54 <tusho> -rw-r----- 1 root adm 1.5G Sep 24 15:16 /var/log/apache2/access.log
16:18:06 <tusho> oh well, files are there to be there!
16:29:14 <AnMaster> tusho, need to be rotated too
16:29:21 <tusho> why
16:29:31 <tusho> what is the point of logrotation, it's just battling against the real problem
16:29:35 <tusho> inferior tools & filesystems
16:29:49 <tusho> the file represents the accesses to the webserver.
16:29:52 <AnMaster> hm
16:29:53 <tusho> it has never been a problem
16:29:57 <tusho> mostly, we just tail it to check stuff
16:30:01 <tusho> or occasionally grep it
16:30:07 <tusho> probably nowadays we'd have to tail|grep, but whatever
16:30:12 <tusho> i think it's fine, really
16:30:18 <tusho> but it did surprise me when seeing a file that big :D
16:30:31 <AnMaster> tusho, you want to keep logs forever?
16:30:42 <tusho> AnMaster: when I don't I'll cut the file
16:31:04 <AnMaster> tusho, another good reason for log rotation: compressing old log files
16:31:06 <tusho> but I am very fond of preserving ephemera
16:31:22 <tusho> AnMaster: that is true, but we have tons free
16:31:35 <tusho> well, not _tons_ but still
16:31:41 <tusho> but yeah
16:31:47 <tusho> actual log rotation is mostly silly to me
16:31:50 <AnMaster> ok I guess it is fine then
16:32:03 <tusho> if you're google... sure, do it
16:32:05 <tusho> you'll probably use up 10gb+ logs a day anyway
16:32:12 <tusho> but rutian is extremely low activity, i can archive logs manually no problem
16:32:46 * tusho tries to open the access log in vim
16:32:57 <tusho> heh, think its trying to load the whole thing.
16:32:59 <tusho> dumb.
16:33:29 <AnMaster> tusho, most text editors do that
16:33:45 <tusho> yes, it's a bit silly, really
16:33:49 <tusho> big files exist...
16:33:52 <tusho> also
16:33:57 <tusho> vi circa 1970
16:33:59 <tusho> didn't
16:34:00 <tusho> aha
16:34:03 <tusho> here it is
16:34:11 <tusho> it's quite snappy
16:34:12 <tusho> which is nice
16:34:23 <tusho> hmm
16:34:26 <tusho> it has only loaded up to august :P
16:34:44 <tusho> only reason these logs are so big = the Counter
16:34:50 <tusho> it makes 3 http requests every .5 seconds
16:34:54 <tusho> regardless of whether you click or not
16:35:02 <tusho> i didn't exactly design it for high traffic...
16:35:10 <tusho> s/ for.*//
16:37:02 <fizzie> I rotate my irc-logs monthly so that if I know approximately when something was said, I can "grep foo freenode/#chan/2007-0[6-9]*" for it.
16:37:16 <fizzie> For active channels the grep-time is a bit big otherwise.
16:37:18 <tusho> fizzie: i think this is kind of a case for putting logs in a database
16:37:29 <tusho> date-based is just ONE of the ways you might wanna search logs...
16:37:36 <fizzie> Too much work for so little benefit, I think.

20:45:38 <tusho> ais523: simple
20:45:43 <tusho> i did something similar a while back
20:45:47 <tusho> the reason is
20:45:48 <tusho> you have a CMS
20:45:52 <tusho> based on flat files
20:45:55 <tusho> so
20:46:02 <tusho> on your site copy
20:46:06 <tusho> it links to
20:46:06 <ais523> anyway, someone actually did give the correct answer (system("start notepad"))
20:46:13 <tusho> http://local-copy/edit?page=foo
20:46:15 <tusho> and then
20:46:18 <tusho> on your local copy
20:46:22 <tusho> that runs notepad on the cms file
20:46:26 <tusho> and redirects immediately back to the page
20:46:35 <tusho> so for you, you can click 'edit' on the site copy, and get a notepad window pop up
20:47:34 <ais523> hmm... that's clever
20:47:38 <tusho> yes
20:47:42 <tusho> except with mine it opened textmate
20:47:53 <tusho> which i actually like, mostly
20:47:57 <tusho> apart from haskell & lisp
20:48:01 <ais523> see, there's an eso reason for everything!
20:48:01 <tusho> which it sucks at, so i use emacs
20:48:08 <tusho> ais523: to be honest, though, i doubt that person had that in mind
20:48:13 <tusho> if you do something that clever, then you don't use notepad.
20:48:28 <tusho> perhaps for staff to edit it
20:48:35 <tusho> although staff would generally prefer wysiwyg, really...
20:53:21 -!- Slereah has joined.
20:58:55 <AnMaster> back
21:04:20 <oklofok> notepad is a nice program
21:04:38 <oklofok> it opens fast and has an evenly-spaced font by default
21:04:51 <ais523> oklofok: no it doesn't open fast on large files
21:05:03 <AnMaster> ais523, it doesn't open at all on large files
21:05:04 <ais523> I know this the hard way
21:05:12 <ais523> AnMaster: ah, that's right, used not to
21:05:20 <ais523> I think they fixed that some time around XP, or possibly Vista, though
21:05:25 <AnMaster> ais523, hm? it suggests using word pad instead
21:05:26 <AnMaster> iirc
21:05:34 <ais523> yes, that was with older versions
21:05:54 <oklofok> indeed it doesn't, wordpad will work for the rest of the cases, except you need to change the font, and it takes about half a second more to open
21:07:11 <ais523> IME Wordpad used courier new for text files by default
21:07:51 <oklofok> used to, yes
21:07:55 <oklofok> but i have vista now.
21:08:04 <oklofok> and it uses Arial
21:08:07 <ais523> ugh
21:08:09 <tusho> arial?
21:08:11 <ais523> why did they change that?
21:08:15 <oklofok> i have no idea
21:08:16 <ais523> and Arial, in Vista?
21:08:16 <tusho> but... vista deprecated arial
21:08:19 <tusho> sort of
21:08:25 <ais523> tusho: actually XP deprecated arial, for Verdana
21:08:27 <AnMaster> oh?
21:08:34 <tusho> ais523: verdana is awful, though :P
21:08:35 <ais523> and Vista deprecated Verdana for Calibri
21:08:37 <ais523> IIRC
21:08:42 <AnMaster> Verdana is worse than Arial
21:08:44 <AnMaster> really
21:08:47 <oklofok> all i know is when i open wordpad, it uses arial.
21:08:53 <ais523> AnMaster: it's alright if you compress it to 90% width
21:08:56 <tusho> verdana is just awful awful awful
21:08:58 <AnMaster> ais523, Calibri?
21:08:59 <tusho> seriously
21:09:04 <tusho> AnMaster: calibri is a new font
21:09:08 <tusho> along with cambria and consolas
21:09:10 <tusho> and others, i think
21:09:14 <tusho> made by MS for vista
21:09:16 <tusho> well
21:09:17 <ais523> yes, there's 6 of them IIRC
21:09:19 <ais523> all starting with C
21:09:21 <tusho> made by $type_foundry for MS for vista
21:09:25 <oklofok> all fonts are equal up to evenly-spacedness
21:09:33 <tusho> hmm...
21:09:35 <ais523> oklofok: even Wingdings?
21:09:39 <ais523> or Lucida Password?
21:09:41 <tusho> imagine microsoft making a font...
21:09:42 <tusho> ugh
21:09:49 <ais523> tusho: MS Sans Serif
21:09:56 <fizzie> Calibri is Office 2007 default, too; can't remember which one came first, Office 2007 or Vista.
21:09:57 <ais523> which isn't all that bad actually for on-screen use
21:10:00 <tusho> ais523: WHY DID YOU HAVE TO REMIND ME!!!
21:10:08 <oklofok> ais523: some fonts you need to learn to read, yes, i guess that's another difference
21:10:08 <ais523> terrible for printing ofc
21:10:17 <AnMaster> ais523, tusho: Ms Comic Sans ;D
21:10:20 <ais523> oklofok: Lucida Password can't be read at all
21:10:24 <oklofok> :D
21:10:24 <tusho> microsoft did not make comic sans.
21:10:25 <ais523> it maps every printable character to *
21:10:34 <AnMaster> tusho, who made then=
21:10:35 <oklofok> okay, i guess i'm wrong, but only a little bit.
21:10:40 <AnMaster> s/=/?/
21:10:46 <tusho> AnMaster: vincent connare
21:10:48 <tusho> additionally
21:10:51 <tusho> comic sans is not bad
21:10:53 <tusho> just most uses
21:10:57 <tusho> overwhelmingly mot uses
21:10:58 <tusho> *most
21:11:03 <tusho> for comics and similar... it's fine...
21:11:05 <tusho> that's what it's for.
21:11:11 <tusho> it was designed for microsoft bob's interface text, heh
21:11:15 <Deewiant> yeah, it's not bad, it's just useless ;-)
21:11:19 <tusho> (which was all in speech bubbles)
21:11:23 <tusho> Deewiant: if you don't make comics or similar, sure.
21:11:25 <tusho> well
21:11:28 <tusho> i don't mean actual comics
21:11:31 <tusho> but comic-esque graphics
21:11:35 <tusho> e.g. speech bubbles
21:11:56 <tusho> i do support banning comics sans though
21:12:01 <tusho> because the human race has proved it can't get it right
21:12:02 <tusho> :P
21:12:56 <AnMaster> I like Bitstream Vera Sans Mono for anything fixed width, and Computer Modern for serif
21:13:13 <tusho> oh, also
21:13:16 <tusho> tahoma
21:13:16 <AnMaster> for non-fixed sans serif I don't really favourite
21:13:19 <tusho> is...
21:13:21 <tusho> an abomination
21:13:28 <tusho> "Guys! Let's combine MS Sans Serif and Verdana!"
21:13:30 <tusho> "GREAT IDEA"
21:13:34 <tusho> "*creates hideous monster*"
21:13:49 <ais523> luckily most of the fonts I have on here are ones tusho's never even heard of
21:14:00 <AnMaster> ais523, oh like?
21:14:03 <tusho> why, don't like my taste in fonts? :P
21:14:08 <ais523> although I have the Linux versions of Arial and such that Microsoft distributed before they changed their minds
21:14:15 <AnMaster> ais523, yes so do I
21:14:15 <tusho> corefonts.sf.net
21:14:18 <tusho> still legally distributable
21:14:20 <ais523> tusho: yes
21:14:22 <ais523> it's those ones
21:14:38 <tusho> hmm
21:14:43 * tusho considers overwriting crap fonts with good ones
21:14:44 <tusho> >:D
21:15:01 <AnMaster> <ais523> luckily most of the fonts I have on here are ones tusho's never even heard of <-- like what ones?
21:15:19 <ais523> AnMaster: half of them aren't even for English
21:15:34 <AnMaster> ais523, oh you speak other languages?
21:15:37 <ais523> no
21:15:43 <ais523> but Ubuntu supports other languages
21:15:52 <ais523> and the fonts to display all the languages it supports come by default
21:15:56 <fizzie> I've got the "msttcorefonts" package installed also, even though it's non-free in the Debian sense.
21:16:01 <AnMaster> ais523, can't you deselect installing them
21:16:02 <tusho> the default ubuntu fonts... aren't very impressive
21:16:03 <tusho> really :P
21:16:08 <tusho> AnMaster: what if e wants to read another language page
21:16:11 <ais523> tusho: I like this one
21:16:13 <AnMaster> tusho, what do you think of Baskerville?
21:16:16 <ais523> but it's just called "Sans Serif"
21:16:21 <ais523> which is probably not the real name of the font
21:16:25 <tusho> ais523: it's bitstream
21:16:27 <tusho> vera sans
21:16:28 <AnMaster> ais523, that maps to some system defined one yes
21:16:32 <tusho> AnMaster: i'm not really a fan.
21:16:34 <AnMaster> and bitstream vera sans is nice
21:16:39 <tusho> the serifs are way too elaborate
21:16:44 <tusho> also the 'a' and 'd' are really ugly.
21:16:53 <tusho> it's better italicized
21:16:54 <AnMaster> tusho, I just picked a random installed font
21:17:02 <tusho> AnMaster: baskerville was designed in 1757
21:17:02 <tusho> :P
21:17:25 <AnMaster> tusho, really I hardly use anything but Bitstream Vera Sans, Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, Helvetica, Times, Computer Modern
21:17:47 <fizzie> "DejaVu Sans Mono" here for this IRC -- it's basically Bistream Vera Sans Mono with more characters done in the same style.
21:17:51 <tusho> fizzie: yes
21:17:54 <AnMaster> fizzie, yes that true
21:18:02 <tusho> i really dislike the bitstream fonts...to me they are hard to read and i seem to remember typographically they're not too hot either
21:18:05 <AnMaster> that is actually what i use for irc
21:18:07 <tusho> i really like helvetica
21:18:14 <ais523> ugh
21:18:19 <AnMaster> tusho, URW Bookman?
21:18:25 <ais523> isn't that the font that's impossible to read when printed because the letters blend into each other?
21:18:41 <AnMaster> ais523, what one? Helvetica?
21:18:43 <tusho> ais523: what, helvetica?
21:18:43 <ais523> yes
21:18:46 <tusho> no...
21:18:49 <tusho> helvetica was designed in the 50s
21:18:52 <tusho> it's iconic
21:18:54 <tusho> has a whole film about it
21:18:58 <ais523> incidentally, does anyone know if there are any commonly-used font formats that are Turing-complete?
21:19:00 <Deewiant> arial is the helvetica ripoff
21:19:01 <tusho> arial is a ripoff of helvetica
21:19:07 <Deewiant> :-)
21:19:08 <tusho> because MS didn't want to pay the licensing fees
21:19:17 <tusho> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helvetica
21:19:17 <AnMaster> hm
21:19:20 <Deewiant> and then the ancestor was Grotesque, or what?
21:19:28 <tusho> Deewiant: akzidenz grotesk yeah
21:19:36 <AnMaster> I have helvetica as metafont or whatever but not true type
21:19:38 <AnMaster> weird
21:19:46 <AnMaster> it exists in TeX but not as system font huh
21:19:53 <ais523> tusho: yes, that's the font I was thinking of, it doesn't print well
21:19:54 <AnMaster> oh wait it does
21:19:57 <tusho> ais523: um
21:20:00 <tusho> it was invented in print!!
21:20:10 <ais523> well, still
21:20:15 <ais523> the letters are too close to each other
21:20:19 <tusho> er
21:20:21 <AnMaster> yes I got helvetica, as bitmapped
21:20:22 <tusho> that is not a property of the typeface
21:20:31 <tusho> that is an indication that someone used a too low leading
21:21:03 <tusho> ais523: you probably see helvetica tons every day, btw
21:21:10 <AnMaster> tusho, you are a font geek you know ;P
21:21:20 <ais523> AnMaster: not exactly, tusho only likes Mac fonts
21:21:24 <tusho> ais523: what
21:21:29 <tusho> that...makes no sense
21:21:34 <AnMaster> ais523, ah true
21:21:36 <tusho> all the fonts i like most were invented for print
21:21:53 <tusho> you're just saying that because I like lucida grande and dislike bitstream...
21:22:05 <tusho> (fyi, helvetica neue isn't bundled with anything but os x but it was invented independently)
21:22:05 <AnMaster> tusho, which are the ones bundled with mac.... coincidence? I think not
21:22:11 <tusho> AnMaster: what
21:22:13 <AnMaster> yes you are a mac fanboy
21:22:14 <AnMaster> we all know
21:22:14 <tusho> that makes no fucking sense
21:22:22 <tusho> i like the typefaces because _i like the typefaces_
21:22:39 <AnMaster> tusho, no if apple had selected bitstream vera you would like it
21:22:43 <tusho> no
21:22:44 <tusho> no i wouldn't have
21:22:45 <AnMaster> yes
21:22:51 <tusho> AnMaster: [citation fucking needed]
21:22:51 <AnMaster> that was what ais523 said
21:22:56 <tusho> you're just saying it without base at all
21:23:01 <ais523> arguably it's the other way round, maybe Apple only select fonts they like the look of
21:23:02 <tusho> ais523: you too
21:23:05 <ais523> and tusho has similar aesthetics
21:23:10 <AnMaster> tusho, it is based on your personality
21:23:12 <AnMaster> and well
21:23:15 <AnMaster> citation: ais523
21:23:20 <AnMaster> now ais523 can cite me
21:23:21 <AnMaster> ;P
21:23:33 <fizzie> Have to admit I use Lucida Console at 8pt for IRC on the iBook.
21:23:48 <tusho> AnMaster: don't ever complain when i help other people and don't help you, why the hell should i help someone who only ever makes baseless accusations based on a completely false stereotype of me.
21:23:52 <AnMaster> lucida is just crappy
21:23:59 <AnMaster> I do have some lucida here iirc
21:24:15 <AnMaster> tusho, citation: ais523
21:24:19 <AnMaster> not baseless
21:24:21 <tusho> AnMaster: you only say that because you like free things!
21:24:30 <tusho> if it was licensed under a free license, you'd love lucida!
21:24:38 <AnMaster> tusho, yes and I don't deny it, though I really don't like lucida
21:24:41 <tusho> AnMaster: based on your personality.
21:24:47 <AnMaster> I do like arial better than lucida
21:24:50 <AnMaster> and arial isn't open either
21:25:02 <ais523> I don't really care about fonts all that much, so I generally use the free ones for practical reasons
21:25:08 <AnMaster> ais523, same
21:25:13 <AnMaster> and Computer Modern rocks
21:25:14 <AnMaster> :)
21:25:46 <tusho> i care about baseless, offensive accusations without base made to me by AnMaster while he complains whenever i do the same.
21:25:47 <AnMaster> Or Latin Modern to get vector based fonts instead of pre-rendered bitmapped
21:26:10 <AnMaster> tusho, it is fine when you admit it
21:26:23 <AnMaster> the issue is that you try to deny it
21:26:27 <tusho> AnMaster: why the hell should i admit something that isn't true?
21:26:43 <AnMaster> well [citation: ais523]
21:26:44 <AnMaster> ;P
21:26:49 <AnMaster> also you lack humor
21:26:52 <AnMaster> *shrug*
21:27:20 * ais523 still fails to understand why AnMaster and tusho seem to hate each other so much
21:27:25 <AnMaster> tusho, you could have laughed it off and it would never had got to this point
21:27:25 <tusho> jesus christ, AnMaster is such a fucking hypocrite. can't say anything without him accusing me of apple fanboyism or whatever. someone call me when he's stopped talking and hiding everything under the guise of "but it was a joke! nevr mind taht it had no properties of a joke and wasn't funny, it was because i said so!". bye.
21:27:26 -!- tusho has left (?).
21:27:29 <AnMaster> you just need some humor
21:27:45 <AnMaster> oh well I know he is log reading
21:28:24 <AnMaster> ais523, and yes I fail to understand why tusho hates me so much as well
21:28:28 <AnMaster> it make no sense
21:28:43 <AnMaster> I have no problems with him when he isn't angry
