00:33:02 <GregorR> Bler
00:33:31 <GregorR> The contraction of I am is I'm, I don't know what you mean by "*I*'m" vs "*I'm*"
00:42:55 <ihope> Which is correcT?
00:42:59 <ihope> *correct
00:44:36 <GregorR> Neither is correct, there are no asterisks in the word "I'm"
00:47:40 <ihope> Bbbut...
00:48:06 <ihope> ...If there were any, where would the second be?\
00:48:13 <ihope> s/\//
01:08:36 <GregorR> I totally don't understand what you're asking at all.
01:12:02 <ihope> What's the proper way to put emphasis on the "I" in "I'm"?
01:18:33 <GregorR> Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
01:18:56 <GregorR> You don't emphasize the I, no.
01:49:01 -!- ihope has quit (Connection timed out).
02:21:11 <SimonRC> Today I discovered what happened to a screen session I had that vanished.
02:21:13 <SimonRC> It was a victim of the magical, musical, vega-go-round.
02:21:16 <SimonRC> Y'see the hostname "vega" in our Uni resolves to one of 5 computers in turn: vega0--vega4.
02:21:19 <SimonRC> And a screen session on any one of them is not accessible or even visible from any of the others.
02:21:23 <SimonRC> So, if you don't know that there are 5 vegas, screen sessions mysteriously disappear while you're logged off, only to re-appear weeks later.
02:21:28 <SimonRC> (Specific vegas are accessible by the names I mentioned a moment ago.
02:21:31 <SimonRC> If you know which one you want.)

02:51:26 <calamari> I was doing all sorts of things like that earlier with no problem
02:51:36 <GregorR> That's why the bug is so hard to find.

02:56:20 <GregorR> I would love if EsoBot had decent language support :P
02:56:20 <calamari> aww, thanks :)
02:56:26 <calamari> hehe yeah
02:57:01 <GregorR> Can you even do pipe-fork-exec from Java?
02:57:30 <calamari> Java has threads
02:57:51 <calamari> and I was able to simulate a lot with that
02:58:03 <GregorR> Ah yes, Java is C++ for pansies, right.
02:58:04 <calamari> for example in the EsoShell
02:58:04 <GregorR> Got it.
02:58:05 <GregorR> :)
02:58:56 <calamari> I live Java.. it's easy to work with. Python too, although Python could really use some braces
02:59:01 <calamari> like even
02:59:06 <calamari> I donnt live Java lol
02:59:21 <GregorR> lol
02:59:23 <calamari> actually haven't used it in a while now, been using Python
03:00:23 <GregorR> I don't dislike Python, though I agree with the braces.
03:00:26 <GregorR> Or at least endif.
03:00:46 <GregorR> I HATE the indenting thing, it makes it obnoxious to figure out when a block ends.
03:00:49 -!- lirthy has joined.
03:00:52 <calamari> something so that if I move things around I dont have to figure evverything out again
03:00:58 <calamari> yeah
03:01:22 <GregorR> But it's better than Perl 8-D
03:01:24 <GregorR> (Doesn't take much)
03:02:05 <calamari> harder to write obfuscated code in python
03:02:12 <GregorR> Hahahah
03:02:21 <GregorR> It's easy to write obfuscated code in Perl, just write code.
03:02:22 <calamari> although I guess that should be a positive
03:02:36 <calamari> nah Perl code can be readable
03:02:59 <GregorR> Yes, it can.
03:03:08 <GregorR> But it's a language that actively encourages its users to write terrible code.
03:03:41 <calamari> and its great how apt has a dependency on it
03:03:57 <GregorR> I once wrote a packaging system in perl >_<
03:04:02 <GregorR> Wish I'd written it in C.
03:04:15 <GregorR> And by "once"
03:04:18 <GregorR> I mean "last year"
03:04:24 <calamari> wish they would rewrite that part.. I'd prefer not to have dependencies on anything.. statically linked would be ideal
03:04:55 <GregorR> Yeah, creates a chicken-and-the-egg problem.
03:06:34 <calamari> plus it'd be cool.. take any old Linux distro and with one app upgrade into a full system
03:07:21 <calamari> I did finally break out on my laptop tho, so apt doesn't produce errors now

11:55:12 <lament> sweet! use more ssh
11:55:40 <GregorR> I wish I could ssh into AIM :P
11:55:47 <GregorR> First thing tomorrow I'm putting a notice on the bulletin board.
11:56:13 <lament> how do you know they do it?
11:56:32 <GregorR> They apparently have two block-levels. One makes the page just "fail to connect"
11:56:35 <GregorR> The other is more of a warning.
11:56:44 <GregorR> And it brings up a dialog with a URL of http://10.10.1.22/...
11:56:57 <GregorR> Go to http://10.10.1.22/ and, well, looki there, here are my AIM logs ... and URL history.
11:57:33 <lament> yours? you mean everybody's in the complex?
11:57:40 <GregorR> I can only see my own.
11:57:44 <GregorR> I looked up the software though.
11:57:47 <GregorR> Admins can see everybody's.
11:57:52 <GregorR> Users can see their own.
11:58:08 <lament> why do your apartment complex's admins block sites at all?
11:58:17 <GregorR> Because their nazis >_<
11:58:21 <GregorR> I also can't use BitTorrent.
11:58:26 <GregorR> Not even for downloading the latest Mandriva.
11:58:29 <lament> i don't get it
11:58:34 <GregorR> Downloading ISOs over ftp is a huge PITA >_<
11:58:35 <lament> apartments are for living in
11:59:21 <lament> certainly not cool
11:59:32 <lament> but of course it's their right.
11:59:46 <GregorR> I'm not sure that it is ...
12:00:08 <GregorR> That is, logging.
12:00:15 <GregorR> Blocking BitTorrent they can do if they please, of course.
12:00:22 <lament> it very likely is, otherwise that software wouldn't exist
12:00:42 <GregorR> I know that it's legal at businesses if you tell the employees that they're being logged.
12:00:50 <GregorR> But on shaky ground if you don't.
12:01:03 <GregorR> (And explicitly illegal in quite a number of states)
12:01:06 <lament> perhaps they "told you" somewhere in a very fine print
12:01:32 <GregorR> I've pored through the contract.
12:01:43 <GregorR> There's only one page on the network, and all tenant responsibilities.
12:01:57 <lament> hm
12:02:05 <lament> are you gonna threaten them with a lawsuit? :)
12:02:23 <GregorR> I'd reaaaaaaaaaally prefer not to.
12:02:34 <GregorR> I'd rather just make it obvious that I have the law on my side >_>
12:02:40 <GregorR> Since it's a clear violation of privacy.
12:02:47 <lament> i rather doubt they'd go "oops, sorry, we didn't realize we were logging you, we'll stop now"
12:03:13 <GregorR> Actually, they might.
12:03:20 <GregorR> There is 0 communication between the network guys and everybody else.
12:03:33 <lament> what kind of sites do they block?
12:03:50 <GregorR> Basically anything that provides illegal downloads.
12:04:04 <GregorR> And they put "warnings" on seemingly random pages.
12:04:16 <lament> heh
12:04:21 <GregorR> Gasp, this web comic is "warned" because of P2P content.
12:04:25 <GregorR> Yes, this web comic. Hmm.
12:04:45 <lament> perhaps the software just looks for keywords
12:05:01 <GregorR> Would you like the complete log of all IM conversations I've had?
12:05:07 <GregorR> 37 pages for a few days.
12:05:10 <GregorR> All sorts of dull crap there.
12:05:18 <GregorR> None of it illicit or illegal.
12:05:18 <lament> umm.... no?
12:05:37 <GregorR> I'm just saying that all of this is logged despite having no obvious keywords.
12:05:51 <lament> no that's different
12:06:03 <GregorR> Oh, you're referring to the blocking.
12:06:06 <lament> right
12:06:18 <lament> but logging im conversations is clearly fucked up
12:06:21 <GregorR> The blocking is obnoxious, but not a violation of privacy, so it's a secondary issue for me.
12:06:30 <GregorR> As well as all the URLs I've visited.
12:07:12 <lament> wouldn't nearly every provider log urls
12:07:13 <lament> ?
12:07:23 <lament> just in the DNS log or whatever
12:08:04 <GregorR> Well, it's one thing to have a sort of generic log that's more of a "when DNS was used" for debugging purposes sort of log.
12:08:11 <GregorR> It could reveal information but is not intended to.
12:08:23 <GregorR> This serves the specific role of revealing what sites a tenant has accessed.
12:08:37 <lament> heh
