If round the edge of each of these discs are written the ten figures which constitute our numerical alphabet, we may then, by arranging a series of these figures in the same vertical line, express in this manner 17:37:10 any number whatever. 17:37:23 Old time tapes weren't very practical! 17:42:27 -!- ihope has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)). 18:05:34 slereah_: that isn't really the same as a tape. More like a register. 18:06:21 Well, if there's an infinity of disks, and each one can take 10 different symbols, it could be viewed as a tape :o 18:06:36 indefinite != infinite. 18:06:51 Oh. Misread that part. 18:07:02 heh 18:07:53 the analytical engine used a punch/card reader to provide unbounded storage, if I recall, which would be analagous to a tape 18:08:29 Oh hell. The article is talking about weaving. 18:08:56 It's all the punch card's fault! 18:09:11 Looms were the first to use punchcards, remember? 18:09:44 I know. Hence, it's the punch card's fault! 18:09:49 Babbage had the unique status of existing just on the brink of technologies that would make fully automatic computing possible. 18:10:25 "Two species of threads are usually distinguished in woven stuffs; one is the warp or longitudinal thread, the other the woof or transverse thread, which is conveyed by the instrument called the shuttle, and which crosses the longitudinal thread or warp." 18:10:40 Allthough I'm not sure that this information is especially important. 18:11:11 I think it's important if you want to explain how the punchcards are used to encode weaving patterns 18:14:01 i am writing a decent todo thingy 18:14:03 who's interested? 18:14:08 it will support offline & online operation 18:14:19 + a web interface for when you're on a different machine 18:14:22 Hm, what was #zingcode ? 18:14:25 and Tons Of Cool Stuff 18:14:29 I had that set on autojoin 18:14:32 Sgeo: Zing and CZing discussioj 18:14:38 WHat's zing/ 18:15:06 * Sgeo goes to get rid of unneeded channels in his autojoin list 18:15:13 ooh, maybe via irc! 18:15:16 Sgeo: proglang 18:16:10 the command line interface will be awesome 18:16:11 :-P 18:17:31 ehird: so, a todo list app with commandline, web-based and IRC-based interfaces? 18:17:51 In PSOX? :o 18:18:06 RodgerTheGreat: Pretty much. 18:18:10 RodgerTheGreat: But with actually unique features. 18:18:14 sounds potentially quite nifty 18:18:19 And, the idea is that adding items isn't any harder than e.g. a simple textfile 18:18:25 unless you want to, to provide more info 18:18:35 slereah_, not if it's in a normal language, I'd assume 18:18:41 ehird: have a look at this and see if it gives you another wonderful idea: http://pocketmod.com/ 18:18:57 *GASP!* I said something not 100% positive about PSOX! 18:20:05 RodgerTheGreat: seen it. don't have a use for it. 18:20:06 :P 18:21:03 the natural idea here, which you are missing, is to provide an RSS feed for the web-based interface, so that you can hook up this global todo system with Pocketmod and innumerable other PIMs 18:21:16 of course it will have an rss field 18:21:23 duh! :) 18:21:51 RodgerTheGreat: I hope that adding a todo item will be basically this: 18:21:54 $ todo "Do foo and bar." 18:22:11 with some kind of tag: 18:22:15 $ todo @code "Code foo." 18:22:17 or, something 18:22:34 and if you just say "todo", it lists out a line-by line list of your todos 18:22:49 then it'd be easy to grep for things 18:23:07 yes 18:23:13 formatted with gorgeous ANSI codes 18:23:15 and maybe paged 18:23:27 but it would probably only show recent ones 18:23:32 and tell you to give it -a for all of them 18:23:35 or something 18:23:43 gotta have a commandline flag to dump out pure text, though 18:23:47 and of course tons more ways to view stuff :) 18:24:00 RodgerTheGreat: 'if we are on a supporting terminal, ansi' 18:24:15 'ls' e.g. does this 18:25:03 * Sgeo tries the pocketmod thing 18:25:49 Sgeo: it's a pretty nifty idea, but I think what it needs is some kind of database you can store on your computer and an easy way to read data from a used one and enter it into the database 18:25:53 RodgerTheGreat: did i mention that the todos will be revision controlled? 18:25:56 with git. 18:26:02 :( 18:26:11 this is a bad idea. 18:26:17 hah, i forgot, you don't like vcses because you think they're all like svn 18:26:23 have fun with your generalizations, i guess 18:26:49 I don't like vcses because they're generally *unnecessary* and you just demonstrated a prime fucking example of that 18:27:31 RodgerTheGreat: you will see. 18:27:39 it will be terribly useful in this case 18:28:00 yes, I will see this project slowly spiral into feature bloat and the dark forests of overkill 18:28:26 hardly 18:28:30 i like simple, minimalistic things 18:28:32 like git. 18:31:52 * ihope___ arrives in a huff 18:31:54 -!- ihope___ has changed nick to ihope. 18:32:03 Hello iHope 18:32:42 hey, ihope 18:33:27 -!- Judofyr has joined. 18:39:46 -!- oerjan has joined. 18:42:54 -!- slereah_ has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)). 18:43:01 -!- slereah_ has joined. 19:01:44 -!- Sgeo has quit ("Ex-Chat"). 19:02:03 -!- Sgeo has joined. 19:05:10 http://sgeo.diagonalfish.net/screenshots/xchat_strangeness.png 19:11:40 Subchannels.
