10:17:08 <swhacker> posted 243
10:18:04 <xover> 243: «While lots of artists and venues have kicked around the idea of having CDs of the show ready to sell by the time the audience leaves, Weir has put the effort into actually getting it done. At every Ratdog show, fans can buy a copy of what they just heard as they leave.»
10:18:31 <xover> 243: «"Within a few minutes of the closing chord of the show, the last disc of the package is finished off," he says. "We've got machines that'll burn discs that fast now. It's a simple matter that the technology has finally arrived."»
10:19:09 <xover> 243: «"We have a little team that does that," he says. One engineer concentrates only on the mix for the CDs. He can make a perfect mix from the stage, and also can add audience ambience from a stereo microphone placed out in the crowd.»
10:19:29 <xover> 243: «"What you get is a pretty awesome-sounding live recording," Weir says. "We're selling a lot of these. People still come in and record the show with their own equipment, and they're welcome to. But we're putting out some really good quality stuff."»
10:19:49 <xover> 243: «The Grateful Dead is still putting its own archive out. Besides standard CD releases, the Dead is finalizing a deal with Apple's I-Tunes to make every live note they've ever recorded available for download.»
10:20:26 <xover> 243: «"Everything, sooner or later, will end up being released on the Web," Weir says. "What we wanna do is digitize our entire catalog, our entire collection of tapes … and make that stuff available. I think I-Tunes is up to that."»
10:21:18 <xover> 243: «And compared to most music at I-Tunes, the Dead's jams are a bargain, he says with a laugh. "At 99 cents a tune, it's a pretty decent price, because most of our tunes are pretty long."»
10:23:02 <xover> 243F: «"Everything, sooner or later, will end up being released on the Web," Weir says. "What we wanna do is digitize our entire catalog, our entire collection of tapes … and make that stuff available. I think iTunes is up to that."»

16:20:13 <verbosus> well, he sucks as a character anyway

16:22:40 <sbp> in the scheme of things, Todd is probably the most throwaway character, but the time that he stole Ray's thong was hilarious

20:24:09 <jeremiah> i was at this job fair here at school and the IBM guys were talking to the guy in front of me and said his resume was nice but that they really wanted someone who had more experience with linux

20:24:47 <sbp> "but... but... I have ten years' Solaris experience!" "no we want linux k thx"

20:26:01 <jeremiah> yeah
20:26:28 <JibberJim> exactly what linux experience do they want? the ability to drive gnome, or the ability to write shellscripts?
20:26:32 <jeremiah> but moving from BSD->linux is probably easier than linux->bsd, i would think

20:59:45 <d8uv> Jeremiah, I'm pretty sure it has buffer switching, but not really.

21:00:17 <tav> but, as you can see, i've never used that ;p

22:11:06 <schepers> spb: it would be a start, but would depend largely on how well (and how consistently) you spell
22:11:23 <schepers> but that would only be your working vocabulary for a set domain of speech
22:11:45 <deltab> another possible method: have a program select words at random from a wordlist, and estimate based on how many of them you know
22:12:01 <schepers> probably you write with a different set of words for different purposes
22:12:22 <JibberJim> another method would be to hire a troop of gnomes to follow you round noting down everything you say
22:12:26 <schepers> yeah, deltab has a good point... you know far more words than you use
22:12:43 <schepers> no, gnomes have terrible spelling
22:12:43 <sbp> current count of computer crashes incurred whilst trying to count IRC vocabulary: 1
22:13:03 <sbp> well, I'd just been reading Mother Tounge: Bryson notes that they tried that (deltab's method) in the 50s but the estimates came out as very high; something like 250,000 words
22:13:05 <JibberJim> that's a much more meaningful stat too!
22:13:28 <sbp> but the coolest thing was the guy who went through every single word in Webster's, testing whether he knew it or not
22:13:32 <JibberJim> and how does your inability to spell tongue cound in this game?
22:13:36 <sbp> he came up with around 33,000, IIRC
22:13:47 <sbp> ouch
22:13:54 <JibberJim> Yeah, but we don't know if he was a thick bloke, or a countdown champion!
22:14:04 <sbp> he was a professor
22:14:13 <schepers> so, a moron;)
22:14:15 <sbp> so probably the former? :-)
22:14:16 <sbp> heh
22:14:33 <sbp> well I'm doing this just to stand on its own merit
22:14:55 <sbp> the test will be: how many words I've used on IRC that appear in my fantabulous "udict" wordlist of 600,000ish words
22:15:09 <schepers> I'd be surprised if there weren't some vocab testing software out there
22:15:10 <sbp> quotes will be striked out
22:15:15 <sbp> boring
22:15:19 <sbp> I want to have control over the process
22:15:21 <JibberJim> I'd be interested in the distribution of words.. wasn't there some guy in foaf/rdfig doing stuff on this with the guttenberg library and word distributions?
22:15:23 <sbp> complete control
22:15:24 <schepers> aha
22:15:48 <sbp> can't remember. haven't been following foaf/rdfig much
22:15:51 <deltab> sbp: is 'struck' in your vocabulary?
22:16:00 <schepers> do you have any written essays?
22:16:42 <schepers> deltab: hehe
22:17:03 <sbp> .gc striked
22:17:04 <xena> striked: 14,100
22:17:09 <sbp> .gc struck
22:17:09 <xena> struck: 5,740,000
22:17:21 <sbp> eek, I am full of anomalies!
22:17:41 <sbp> I was thinking of including all my written stuff
22:17:47 <sbp> but I'm far too lazy
22:17:48 <schepers> striked is probably only for the sense "to protest"
22:18:19 <sbp> .gc strucked
22:18:20 <xena> strucked: 2,320
22:18:20 <JibberJim> * JibberJim is far too lazy to write stuff
22:18:30 <JibberJim> .gc strucked
22:18:30 <xena> strucked: 2,320
22:18:34 <JibberJim> erk.
22:18:38 <deltab> "went on strike"
22:19:00 <schepers> when a word moves from one word category to another, it loses its irregular forms
22:19:13 <deltab> yeah
22:19:49 <JibberJim> we could have the freaky mouth speaking all sbp's words!
22:20:01 <schepers> JibberJim: you just wrote that you're too lazy to write...
22:20:19 <schepers> Creepy Mouth, please.
22:20:21 <JibberJim> I didn't, I typed it...

22:22:45 <JibberJim> oh I definately sub-vocalise on IRC.
22:23:41 <sbp> .spell definately
22:23:42 <xena> potential spellings for definately are: definitely, defiantly, definably, differently, defilement, diffidently, definement, defensible, definiteness, definable
22:24:10 <JibberJim> er, not very good! you can't spell it "differently" that's a different word!
22:24:14 <sbp> using "a" where you can't remember whether it's "a" or "i" is a good rule of thumb, though
22:24:26 <JibberJim> A don't thank so.
22:24:36 <sbp> heh
22:24:53 <schepers> you sound like you're from Alabama, Jim
22:24:56 <sbp> "Jim caused quite a thank on Swhack today"
22:25:03 <JibberJim> I discovered what was wrong with my mail, I was negating one of the rules!

22:30:42 <schepers> a minute of listening to Jim create new words
22:30:43 <JibberJim> "Just A Minute"
22:30:54 <sbp> what's JAM?

22:31:30 <JibberJim> hmm http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/comedy/justaminute.shtml is perhaps a more correct link
22:32:15 <sbp> that which we call a "radio show" would by any other frequency sound as staticy
22:32:16 <JibberJim> Currently discussing "what the actress said to the bishop" which isn't adding much to my vocabulary
22:32:32 <sbp> hehe
22:33:04 <sbp> I hope a town springs up in England one day somewhere called "Much Grepping"
22:33:30 <JibberJim> when you retire you can name your house "dun grepping"

22:40:45 <sbp> heh, heh
22:41:15 <sbp> I'm surprised grep hasn't pushed "I canna take it no more capn!" to stdout yet
22:41:40 <sbp> or stderr at its preference

22:50:56 <JibberJim> we scared him off!
22:51:11 <sbp> it was verbosus
23:17:57 <verbosus> oh, piss off
23:18:21 <verbosus> but he actually said “ciao”, which points toward my direction
23:18:34 <JibberJim> Indeedy!
23:18:46 <JibberJim> why else would a North American say Ciao?
23:19:05 <JibberJim> how's the count coming along sbp?
23:19:11 <verbosus> because Italian is cool, and clearly the best language out there?
23:19:27 <JibberJim> you've not heard me speak italian verbosus!
23:19:41 <verbosus> JibberJim: do you?

23:36:37 <JibberJim> you can request its inclusion.
23:37:41 <JibberJim> quirksmode is listed in 4.26 - I think the main reason is PPK was still using his old sight when we last did an update.

23:43:35 <d8uv> What's up?
23:46:44 <d8uv> sbp: That seems like a highly inefficent way to count your vocabulary.
23:47:27 <d8uv> I also kinda sound like Spock.
23:47:34 <d8uv> FREAKY
23:53:25 <sbp> aha, it's worked this time
23:53:28 <sbp> hey there d8uv
23:53:57 <sbp> what do you mean by "inefficient"? as in, falling short of counting my actual vocabulary? why but of course
23:54:14 <sbp> in actual fact, I'm measuring--still weakly--my IRC vocabulary
23:55:12 <sbp> * sbp makes a dequote.py
23:55:37 <d8uv> Hehe
23:56:35 <d8uv> My IRC vocabulary is probably very short.
23:57:23 <d8uv> "I" "need" "dumby" "some" "am" "help" "a" "Thanks" "Heh"
23:57:28 <d8uv> That's about it.
23:57:36 <sbp> Heh
23:57:55 <sbp> need I a dumby?
23:58:30 <d8uv> help some needi dumby?
23:58:44 <sbp> needi is not in your vocabulary!
23:58:56 <d8uv> Need + I
23:59:23 <sbp> Heh
23:59:49 <sbp> Thanks
