I wish I could match those webdesign skills 19:30:28 you're skills are good enough 19:30:33 but my skills.. ugh.. 19:30:39 and 1976design I like because of the header he's made - it changes based on the weather 19:30:58 yeh 19:31:19 the main problem with my CSS-ability is I'm not good at making things compatible on every browser 19:31:43 know that feeling 19:31:56 I just today found a technique I could use to make my website center on IE as well as Moz 19:32:07 hmm 19:32:44 I wish I didn't have to contend with IE, but unfortunately it's used by 75% of the population 19:32:51 :( 19:32:53 yeah 19:33:01 someone was actually recommending writing css that exploited a css parsing bug in ie-5 to make the margins work the same way in ie 5 that they do in other browsers. 19:33:27 hm 19:33:29 IE-5 has many CSS bugs 19:33:34 i bet 19:33:43 it has other bugs as well :) 19:33:43 IE6 just doesn't know how to render things 19:33:46 yes 19:33:59 well, I still don't think this: 19:34:00 margin-left: 199px; 19:34:00 voice-family: "\"}\""; 19:34:00 voice-family: inherit; 19:34:00 margin-left: 201px; 19:34:04 is the way to go. 19:35:01 wha do you mean? 19:35:20 that's an IE hack 19:35:27 oh 19:35:37 what does it do? 19:35:47 makes ie5 stop parsing the css entry on that "\"}\"" 19:35:50 IE sees the } 19:35:51 yeah 19:36:05 but I wouldn't write css like that, even if it was the only way to make things ie5-compatible. 19:36:10 too ugly. 19:36:26 another problem is IE5 isn't used by many people 19:36:28 so it's not worth it 19:36:37 yea 19:37:05 hopefully webdesigners will get the hint and ditch tables for CSS and start designing for standard browsers 19:37:16 then M$ will have to wake up to keep in competition 19:37:43 yes, it wakes up and sues every other company and coder >:) 19:38:16 well, when I do "webdesign" I just write html with headers and

paragraphs, and maybe few


rules in there. of course the end result doesn't look very pretty. :p 19:38:35 well, that's how HTML was meant to be 19:39:38 and with the advent of CSS, people could slap a stylesheet onto a page and it controls the appearance completely 19:39:59 it eases things a lot 19:40:13 yeah, take a look at http://www.csszengarden.com/ 19:40:26 nice site, i've seen it sometime before :) 19:40:34 it has at least 100 designs that differ from each other greatly, and the html stays exactly the same 19:41:37 nevermind, it appears to down 19:42:28 too bad :( well, good that i had my change to see it weeks before this point of time 19:43:39 hmm... it should be back up 19:44:18 weird 19:44:41 it's still listed on mezzoblue.com 19:44:46 (its creator) 19:45:35 things don't always work. 19:46:28 meh, I think I've watched that scary @ long enough, and it doesn't seem to be going away. guess I must take steps. 19:46:31 -!- fizzie has set channel mode: -o fizzie. 19:48:13 how unfortunate, you could've at least given it to someone else 19:48:25 y.. yo....y.. you.. youre mortal again fizzie :O 19:48:41 I think chanserv's the sanest person here and should thusly keep the only @. 19:48:52 :) 19:49:23 i haven't seen him/her talking, but on the other hand i've spent quite few time here 19:51:53 well, the very wise only speak when absolutely necessary 19:53:14 hehe 19:53:21 i see 19:53:27 so we're not being very wise here right now. 19:53:54 well, it makes one wonder, why then hang out in a channel :D 19:54:01 after all, "it is better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid, then to open it and remove all doubt" - Mark Twain 19:54:22 well, wisdom is probably overrated anyway 19:54:33 yes 20:01:22 well, soon i should make up some nice design for my site 20:01:58 what's your site? (assuming it's on the web) 20:02:09 someone should do some nice design for befunge.org. :p 20:02:27 "I've been busy." 20:03:23 well, quux.befunge.org, it seems, has an alright design 20:03:28 :) 20:03:33 well the site isn't in the web 20:03:35 well, yes, that's mooz's site. 20:03:43 :) 20:03:51 oh, and I'd need someone who can do hr giger -like design for a project with impressive stupidity levels. 20:03:52 ah, it has tables 20:04:12 i'm working on couple of sites 20:04:20 but this design i was talking about will 20:04:27 be to my "personal" site 20:04:38 that'll have my (lame) brainfuck codes 20:04:54 my personal site (toreun.org) will have all my projects 20:05:00 I just haven't had the time to put them up yet 20:05:02 and other code projects 20:05:09 and by time I mean effort 20:05:14 ok 20:05:26 I'd need someone to design the web-frontend for darkhive.gehennom.org. (finnish-only, sorry.) 20:05:32 hmm... hr giger like design? 20:05:38 "for some reason" haven't found anyone willing yet. 20:05:53 yes, well, "dark hive" sort of needs something like that. 20:05:59 toreun: when your projects are there, tell me so i can go and check out :) 20:06:20 sure thing 20:06:24 ok :) 20:06:26 although the name is a (bad) pun - it actually comes from the contents, "d" "archive". 20:06:37 hehe 20:06:38 first I'd have to make a collaboration of all my projects 20:06:53 not a bad pun 20:07:50 well, it's better than its as-yet unstarted sister site, sharkhive. 20:08:03 sh archive? :) 20:08:39 not really. actually it should be "ch", as in 'chat', but 'charkhive' sounds stupid. 20:08:45 what does that 'd' mean and where it searches that info fizzie? 20:09:02 er, does it not say? 20:09:29 if not, I'd rather not say either. I'm.. sort of ashamed. 20:09:29 it might say, I'm not sure what it says exactly 20:09:39 demi? 20:09:48 keymaker should be able to parse the language. 20:09:48 um, why? :) 20:09:50 yes. 20:10:01 err.. that's a tough one. 20:10:08 :D 20:10:16 I ask it myself over and over again whenever I need to fix the damn thing. 20:11:16 it's not my fault though. I'm not sure whose fault it is, but it definitely isn't mine. 20:11:44 sharkhive would be a similar site for mtv3's late-night sms chat things. 20:12:03 i hate those chats 20:12:15 but I'm a bit unsure if I could reliably enough OCR the contents. 20:13:10 plus I don't really _want_ to keep an archive of them. 20:13:24 just curiously asking, are you working on that project FOR demi? 20:13:25 but I don't want to keep darkhive either, and yet I still do. 20:13:34 nope. 20:13:37 ok 20:13:45 well, nicely made job anyways 20:14:00 you wouldn't say that if you saw the perl scripts that do the updating. 20:14:21 hehe, well, i can't read perl anyways 20:14:33 most people can't read perl 20:14:46 it's a somewhat write-only language. 20:15:13 :) haha 20:15:17 I also wrote a custom ncurses-based client for the pseudo-3d java chat applet demi.fi used to have on their site back when franticmedia was doing the webdesign there. 20:15:21 better than BASIC, which lacks so much functionality it's almost a read-only lanugage 20:16:23 well, i haven't ever tried learning perl either. is it useful? 20:16:28 and then there's PILOT, which seems to me to be an execute-only language. it can't really _do_ anything, but the syntax is ugly and cryptic-like. 20:17:05 hmmm.. link? 20:17:26 it's the language I was talking about the other day, the one I had misplaced my standard of. 20:17:49 hmm, sorry, i've really the worst memory :\ 20:17:57 and perl.. well, imho it's mildly useful for those shell scripts that are getting bit too complicated for bash+sed+awk+grep. 20:18:18 but then again one could just use scsh or something sensible for those. 20:21:26 the only reason I could see myself learning perl is because so many things are written in perl 20:21:53 well, learning perl more than just basics 20:22:23 I just wrote a simple perl script to do [something]. I wonder what it might have been. 20:23:03 hehe 20:23:09 comments missing? 20:23:13 the incredible amount of CPAN modules for just about every possible task, plus the easiness to call other programs makes perl a relatively nice language to write "glue" in. 20:23:28 no, it probably had comments, I just can't remember where I wrote it. 20:23:34 or what for. 20:23:43 ok 20:28:09 watched that dark star or whatever it was, yesterday fizzie? 20:32:44 nahh, was busy trying to make the win32-hosted symbian software development kit run on linux. 20:33:09 there was some pre-made glue stuff to make it work in the interweb, but it was for an earlier version of the sdk, so I had to play with it a bit. 20:34:16 mostly the toolchain was easy to make run on linux, just that there was some stupidity with mixed-case names (windows, as we all know, doesn't care about filename case-ness, so the mismatched usages weren't a problem there) and the lf/crlf line-terminator stupidity. 20:34:49 i see 20:36:46 what's the point in carriage-return actually? 20:38:07 well, it's useful if you want to make an updated status indicator on a relatively dumb terminal. 20:38:45 in other words: it's pointless 20:38:57 as a line-terminator in files, yes. 20:39:02 as a control character, not really. 20:39:34 control character? 20:40:43 the "move cursor to beginning of current line" control character. 20:40:46 very useful. 20:41:26 ah, i didn't know it was called control character.. agree, it's useful 20:41:30 and works on a wider range of terminals than ansi/vt-100 escapes. 20:45:02 whoa, 1.25 hours left. I estimate this day will belong to the class "wasted time" for me. 20:45:32 :( 20:45:47 well, i haven't got anything useful made either 20:46:05 probably i'll do some bf not to waste whole day :) 20:47:21 I'd need to write a z80-based-device emulator for the arm/symbian/series60. :p 20:47:39 :) 20:47:48 sadly that'd probably be the most useful piece of code I'd have written. 20:48:06 sadly? 20:48:22 well, some might say even that is not very useful. 20:48:39 it sounds impressive anyways :) 20:48:52 it sounds pointless to me, but I sort of promised. 20:49:06 i see 20:50:10 it's related to the mobile demo compo of this year's assembly04 event, if you must know. 20:50:27 ah 20:51:03 i haven't ever been at assembly, and probably won't go either, but i've read about the demo "scene" 20:51:23 the quotes definitely are in the right place. 20:51:41 :) 20:51:43 I've been to few of the smaller finnish demoscene "events", and.. uh, it's not a pretty thing. 20:52:03 too bad.. 20:52:42 assembly's mostly gaming these days, right? 20:52:51 well, yes. 20:53:02 yeah :( 20:53:13 and the smaller events tend to include large quantities of C2H5OH, since we're in finland. :p 20:53:26 hahaha 20:54:51 besides, in _all_ the parties (and most of the other social gatherings I've gone) I've seen jaffa/bC! naked, for one reason or the other. usually involves swimming/water, but not always. to be honest it's kinda disturbing. 20:55:23 LOL 20:55:39 by the way, jaffa/bC! some person i guess? 20:55:42 oh yes. 20:55:54 heh 20:56:09 actually, if you want to see what a finnish demoscene event is like, just go see the 'unssia väsyttää' "wild-compo entry". 20:56:17 I'll check the scene.org link for that. 20:56:35 ok 20:56:39 actually it's in http://koti.mbnet.fi/megam/unssia_vasyttaa.AVI 20:57:09 hmmm, how large is the file? 20:57:24 ~5M 20:57:32 oh, ok 20:57:52 i should get a lot faster connection in few days, but i guess i can download that with this :) 20:58:09 argh, i mean few weeks, small typo there.. 20:58:16 it's from the 'stream 2003' partay. 20:58:21 I rather like the internet here. 21:00:40 started downloading . . . . 21:02:37 don't blame me for wasting your bandwidth, then. :p 21:02:52 hehe 21:04:17 it's painful waiting; i have new computer 1 meter near this old one, and i'm waiting the new connection while surfing the web with windows 98 (barf!) without mouse (it isn't hard, but slow) 21:04:45 ahemh. 21:05:06 "win98 without mouse" sounds like something to use as a punishment for misbehaving slaves. 21:05:13 yeah 21:05:22 it is :( 21:05:33 "and for stealing some office supplies -- you get to surf the interweb for three days on win98 without the mouse!" 21:05:47 hehe 21:05:48 "win98" sounds like a punishment in and of itself :-P 21:05:55 i know, i know :( 21:06:18 i've been wanting to get linux or something other os than it for many years but couldn't get anything done to that thing :( 21:06:24 i dunno where to start 21:09:24 did you try downloading a liveeval and using that? 21:09:50 no, i haven't tried absolutely anything :( 21:10:12 download distro from distrowatch.com and try it 21:10:32 knoppix is relatively nice to use, too, if the system has a bootable cd drive. 21:12:07 I used knoppix to do some benchmarking for our 'sorting algorith optimization' study thing (for a course here at hut) on an otherwise-windows-only box. 21:12:46 hmm 21:14:13 now I've got the ur-quan kzer-za theme music stuck in my head. 21:14:42 :) 21:14:46 is it some movie? 21:15:00 from 'star control 2', a pc-game a while back. 21:16:05 :) 21:16:20 i'm into classic platformers 21:16:42 I still like my Zork 21:16:56 graphics are a waste of time 21:17:06 yeah 21:17:20 I don't really do games nowadays, but I used to play star control 2 back when it was a new game, and it wasn't bad. 21:17:32 if you don't have anything else to do, you could check out http://sc2.sourceforge.net/ 21:17:35 neither do I - at least video games 21:17:48 I like board/card games more 21:18:17 i play my favourite games, commander keen adventures daily :) 21:18:19 well, I have to admit that from time to time I get the urge to start nethack and do a yet-another-stupid-death in it. 21:19:44 i've heard about that but not played 21:19:55 wonder where mooz is, he said he'll be back "in evening". 21:20:22 well, the night is young :) 21:20:26 I don't know, but atm I'm browsing his site and playing with that impressive javascript bef interpreter 21:20:52 well, I assumed the "standard" definition of 'evening' there. 21:21:27 standard definition of evening where? finland? 21:21:55 i guess 21:21:57 :) 21:22:19 what, is it 2320 there? I don't know what timezone it's in 21:22:24 23:20, yeah. 21:22:25 yeah 21:22:28 EEST. 21:22:50 ah 21:23:40 too bad there's summer time, i like winter more :) 21:24:21 I dislike the fact that my apartment gets unbearably hot during the summer. 21:24:22 I like summer more, but that's probably just because I'm still in school, and around here we don't have school in summer 21:25:06 re school, wonder when our lectures start again next year. 21:25:29 ^ i'm in that nuthouse as well, but i like still cold winter more 21:25:32 or if I should do anything education-related still. 21:25:48 yeah 21:28:50 still ~.5h left to make this a non-wasted day. wonder what I could manage in that time. 21:29:13 hmmmmm 21:29:14 maybe 'apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade' that debian box to the left of me. 21:29:49 it's debian-unstable and hasn't been updated in two weeks or so, I'll estimate ~100MB of updates. 21:29:54 you're lucky, I still have 7.5h left to waste 21:29:58 let's see. 21:30:16 hm. 21:30:23 198MB of data to download. 21:30:28 my estimate was a bit off then. 21:31:45 oh, forgot to say, i see what you meant with that "unssia vasyttaa" vid 21:33:15 mm. 21:33:26 asmebly isn't quite like that, of course. 21:34:07 :) 21:36:36 how typical. 21:37:55 "kdelibs4" and "kdelibs-bin" both depend on libcupsys2 >= 1.1.19final-1, but "libgnomeprint2.2-0" depends on libcupsys2-gnutls, which conflicts with libcupsys2. 21:38:58 of course 21:39:41 well, my own fault of course. 21:40:04 I just _had_ to install the gnome-2.6 stuff from the 'experimental' package collection of debian. 21:40:44 at least I get updates from ftp.fi.debian.org at ~3000kB/s, keeping a debian-unstable with a dialup would be a new definition for the word pain. 21:42:43 yay. 21:42:59 I have some documentation in the .chm file format. 21:43:04 that windows htmlhelp thingie. 21:43:33 so I install xCHM, and verify remotely (x-forward) that it works, and think "well great, I can read the docs I have" 21:44:19 now I started that xCHM locally. it.. "works properly", escept that instead of normal letters I get a collection of boxes. 21:44:44 large boxes and small boxes, bold-font boxes and blue underlined boxes (links), but boxes anyway. 21:45:26 I can also change the font to get different-looking boxes. 21:58:10 eh. of course all other chm files open with it just perfectly except the one I'd need to read. (and that one worked when used remotely.) 22:01:10 great. xchm needs to be linked with gtk2 to work with unicode/utf8 chm files, but the debian version of course isn't. 22:02:04 aaaaaaargh, time is ~up, it's 0000 and no progress on anything :( 22:02:23 same here. 22:02:41 well, better luck today :) 22:06:33 well, if I manage to drag myself to work there's a slight chance I might manage to get something done. 22:06:50 :) 22:07:11 sleeping would help make that probability a bit larger. maybe I should switch to the irc-terminal in my bed, that usually makes me fall asleep pretty fast. 22:07:26 hehe 22:07:55 well, i'm not going to be here much time anymore today (i mean today before i'm going to sleep) 22:07:55 are we that boring? :-P 22:08:03 ^ yeah 22:08:05 ;) 22:10:07 they're building some new student apartments right next to my window, so I can't even sleep long in the mornings. 22:10:24 :( 22:10:36 those darn students >:) 22:10:58 gotta hate 'em 22:13:22 well, I'm one of 'em. 22:13:42 but I already have an apartment, so I see no need to build more of them. 22:16:07 // count sheeps 22:16:07 const int SHEEPS = 5000; 22:16:07 for (int i = 0; i < SHEEPS; i = i + 1) { } 22:16:07 // now start sleeping 22:16:47 i think i'll leave the place for this night and go sleeping/restarting my 30000 brain cell byte array ;) 22:17:49 good night 22:17:51 -!- Keymaker has quit. 22:21:02 I'll probably fall asleep soon too. 22:21:55 k, night 22:22:00 A long-forgotten loved one will appear soon. 22:22:00 Buy the negatives at any price. 22:22:50 izzat a fortune? 22:40:32 oh! it's 5th of confusion, 3170, today, at least according to my timezone already. celebrate (or don't) syaday. 22:42:07 ooh 22:42:19 still 4th here 22:42:39 I am back in the future, then. 23:24:49 -!- mooz- has joined.
