00:00:48 <Talliesin> That's like the kind of effect Wesley Crusher nearly got kicked out of starfleet academy for deliberately causing when another cadet lost his life.
00:00:56 <Talliesin> Wow, that was nerdy even for me.

00:03:56 <sbp> yeah, I remember that
00:15:28 <jsled> that was a good episode, though.
00:15:37 <jsled> two-part, I think. the whole trial and everything.
00:15:49 <xover> Did they eventually kill him? Please tell me they finally killed him!
00:16:21 <jsled> Who, Wesley? No way. He became one with the universe...
00:16:25 <xover> He was annoying even for a TNG character.
00:16:55 <jsled> He learned from ... The Traveler, I believe ... and like phased away.
00:17:23 <jsled> It was the first blatently homosexual experience on tv. I remember it well.
00:17:27 <jsled> no, wait.
00:17:44 <jsled> sorry, wrong video tape. nevermind.
00:18:41 <jsled> * jsled wanders away...
00:18:42 <Arnia> jsled: I think My Beautiful Laundrette precedes that some
00:18:43 <crschmidt> Ghyll Question. There is now an "Alezan Pantheon" phantom. Do we define that after Z?
00:21:50 <Morbus> yep
00:22:11 <Arnia> Question, can I label formulae in N3?
00:22:52 <sbp> not easily
00:22:54 <sbp> :- might do it
00:23:35 <Arnia> Thanks. I'm currently working on determiner binding :)
00:23:49 <Arnia> * Arnia whistles whilst he builds Big Brother
00:24:25 <Arnia> @forall is still valid isn't it?
00:24:26 <supybot> Arnia: Error: 'forall' is not a valid command.
00:25:21 <Monty> crschmidt: You asked me to remind you to look at sbp's lexicon blurbs
00:25:30 <crschmidt> yeah, thanks monty, already did
00:25:31 <Monty> Oh! I be that then ;-)
00:28:22 <Arnia> Such a helpful bot

00:30:35 <[2]dydimustk> *** [2]dydimustk is now known as dydimustk
00:31:21 <Morbus> sbp: this word boundary thing is ridiculous.
00:33:41 <Morbus> i'm giving up on it.
00:35:06 <Talliesin> What you doing with word boundaries?
00:36:06 <Morbus> i don't even want to talk about it anymore.
00:36:24 <Morbus> nutshell: mediawiki, full text mysql searching, MATCH, BOOLEAN, and searching for "four".
00:36:24 <Talliesin> Implementing UAX 29?
00:36:32 <Morbus> SELECT * from searchindex where si_text LIKE '%four%';
00:36:43 <Morbus> SELECT * from searchindex where MATCH (si_text) AGAINST ('+four' IN BOOLEAN MODE);
00:36:49 <Morbus> the first works, the second doesn;t
00:37:05 <Talliesin> Ah.
00:37:42 <Talliesin> I too frequently dismiss MySQL as not ACID enough for me to feel comfortable using for me to learn enough that I could possibly help.
00:38:12 <[1]dydimustk> *** [1]dydimustk has quit (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out))
00:38:13 <Talliesin> Anyway FOAF-Galway rocked.
00:38:26 <Talliesin> Indeed no-doubt still rocks for those still there.

00:46:57 <kpreid> *** kpreid has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
01:00:45 <Morbus> sbp: i've decided that MW's search is totally retarded.
01:00:45 <redlandbot> *** redlandbot has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
01:00:48 <Morbus> it won't even find the word "four"
01:01:50 <sbp> eek
01:02:07 <sbp> why not? is it to do with word length?
01:02:15 <Morbus> nope, MW is just retarded.
01:02:19 <Morbus> for one, we're using MysQL 4.
01:02:24 <Morbus> so that enables the full text searching.
01:02:53 <Morbus> and I can do an immediate compare between old searching with LIKE and new searching with MATCH (see statements above), and LIKE works, MATCH doesn't.
01:03:04 <Morbus> unfortunately, I can mod the code to do LIKE with word boundaries.
01:03:11 <Morbus> and that will properly match " four ".
01:03:23 <Morbus> BUT, the search results will always hilight embedded.
01:03:35 <Morbus> so we'll always see "suspect" sooner then EC
01:03:40 <Morbus> its ridiculous
01:06:35 <sbp> filed a bug report? do they have good turnaround times on reported bugs?
01:06:36 <Morbus> the other problem is that my hack would break on multiword searches
01:06:40 <Morbus> ahahahah.
01:06:49 <sbp> guess not then. hmm
01:06:55 <sbp> well it's a lot better than kwiki anyway...
01:06:58 <Morbus> i'll add one anyways
01:07:00 <Morbus> yeah, it is.
01:07:30 <sbp> no wiki's going to be perfect. still, you'd think that they wouldn't have such a basic bit of pitifulness in there
01:07:39 <Morbus> well, they're trying to be cool.
01:07:46 <Morbus> the full text in mysql 4 is supposed to be awesome.
01:07:51 <Morbus> but damned if i know why it sucks <g>
01:08:26 <sbp> oh, so it *should* work?
01:09:21 <Morbus> from what i can tell, yes, its supposed to.
01:09:24 <Morbus> well, wait, not,.
01:09:28 <Morbus> for "four" its supposed to.
01:09:33 <Morbus> for "EC", no, that's a MySQL hack I did.
01:09:42 <Morbus> but, after said hack, it should have.
01:10:10 <sbp> sounds more like a MySQL bug then. does MySQL return what you expect it to?
01:10:22 <Morbus> nope.
01:10:28 <Morbus> only if I use the older LIKE.
01:12:44 <sbp> Encyclopedant Calendar looks cool now
01:12:53 <sbp> and right, MySQL bug then?
01:13:35 <Morbus> I dunno. Could be just a SQL statement that doesn't do what they want.

17:42:36 <Morbus> http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=278
17:42:45 <Morbus> it appears MySQL is fine, but the display code ignores word boundaries
17:43:23 <Morbus> hrm.
17:43:24 <sbp> ahh, great!
17:43:28 <sbp> you just need to add a splat
17:43:34 <Morbus> no, no.
17:43:38 <sbp> no? no?
17:43:40 <Morbus> the splat is only if we want suspect
17:43:43 <Morbus> EC is fine.
17:43:45 <Morbus> MysQL is fine.
17:43:47 <Morbus> the display code sucks
17:43:50 <sbp> oh. hmm
17:43:55 <Morbus> the display code assumes we *EC*
17:44:01 <sbp> that sucks
17:44:05 <Morbus> oh, and your FR thing has a bug.
17:44:11 <Morbus> http://inamidst.com/misc/folkrec/11231
17:44:14 <Morbus> Folktown Records edition 11231 was issued on -222/10/23 EC.
17:44:39 <sbp> oh bugger
17:48:32 <sbp> Morbus: fixed, thanks
17:48:33 <sbp> "Folktown Records edition 11231 was issued on 221/3/8 EC."
17:48:57 <Morbus> of course, now the fun will be "what edition came out this week"?
17:49:04 <Morbus> which is gonna be hellious.
17:49:11 <Morbus> you'd have to munge a few of our weeks together.
17:49:16 <sbp> hmm?
17:49:19 <sbp> easy enough
17:49:23 <Morbus> how so?
17:49:28 <Morbus> well, then again, i hate math
17:49:30 <Morbus> so, could be easy.
17:49:33 <sbp> it's a whole dates system, not just a conversion from FR# to EC
17:49:33 <Morbus> sounds satanic to me.
17:49:34 <Morbus> ;)
17:49:38 <sbp> I implemented an EC datatype
17:49:57 <Morbus> yeah, but if today is today, how does today hook into determining Ghyll's today?
17:49:57 <sbp> you pass it a date, it converts it into days since or before the epoch
17:50:01 <sbp> then it can convert back
17:50:03 <sbp> oh, I see
17:50:15 <Morbus> such that you go to the page and get a "it's current blah in ghyll, and the 333# edition was just released!"
17:50:21 <sbp> well, we're saying that one turn is equal to 1/26 of a Ghyll yar, right?
17:50:26 <sbp> er, year
17:50:28 <Morbus> yep.
17:50:39 <Morbus> well, wait.
17:50:39 <Morbus> no.
17:50:48 <Morbus> 26 turns finishes in a ghyll year
17:50:53 <Morbus> so, 1/48
17:51:01 <sbp> ...
17:51:15 <Morbus> look, i don't fucking know<g>
17:51:31 <Morbus> "It is expected that the first round of definitions for the twenty six letters of the alphabet will take one EC year to complete, and hence the next time we call for definitions of words beginning with "A" is predicted to occur at the start of 1 EC."
17:51:33 <sbp> there are 48 weeks in a Ghyll year, right? but 26 turns
17:51:39 <Morbus> oh.
17:51:40 <Morbus> lol.
17:51:41 <Morbus> yeah.
17:51:43 <Morbus> see, i told you.
17:51:46 <sbp> so that means one turn for approximately 12.9 days
17:52:00 <sbp> so after this turn, we'll have had FR615 out
17:52:07 <sbp> * sbp wonders what's in it
17:52:10 <sal> *** sal has quit ("http://www.palmisanonet.com/")
17:52:15 <Morbus> yeah, but won't that break somehow?
17:52:22 <Morbus> won't we get to a turn that encompasses two issues coming out?
17:52:22 <sbp> no?
17:52:26 <sbp> yep
17:52:32 <sbp> but for this turn, it's true
17:52:40 <sbp> two issues per turn will happen fairly often
17:53:07 <Morbus> yeah.
17:53:11 <Morbus> like, every third turn
17:53:12 <Morbus> or something.
17:53:14 <Morbus> * Morbus acts smart.
17:53:17 <sbp> hehe
17:53:33 <sbp> well it's not really that essential to know at this point
17:53:40 <Morbus> oh! well, fine!
17:53:42 <sbp> we can publish a date after each turn saying what date it is in EC
17:53:44 <Morbus> * Morbus tears up Bysted's entry
17:53:47 <sbp> ahh
17:53:52 <Morbus> no, i[m kidding :)
17:54:03 <sbp> well for Bysted, yes, the current edition will be FR615
17:54:17 <sbp> but FR616 and possibly FR617 will be coming out on that turn
17:54:34 <sbp> hmm, yes they will
17:54:35 <Morbus> i like your comments, btw.
17:55:06 <sbp> 616 comes out on 0/1/15, 617 on 0/1/22. turn B ends on 0/1/26 or something
17:55:11 <sbp> on AuroWhatsit? thanks
17:55:31 <sbp> ah, turn B ends on the evening of 0/1/25
17:56:18 <Morbus> you know what? ginestre's entry is actually preytty good.
17:56:25 <Morbus> i had to read it like five times, but i like,
17:56:31 <Morbus> .
17:56:38 <sbp> it's rather obscure, yes. lemme read it again
17:57:44 <Talliesin> *** Talliesin has quit ()
17:58:08 <sbp> bit bogus that every time something needs to be explained he just makes up a new verb :-)
17:58:17 <sbp> but probably better that way anyway
17:59:23 <sbp> 'tis certainly fun
17:59:40 <sbp> ah, Mr. Bowers responds
18:00:14 <sbp> bwahaha. 'my reading of a 45 degree westward bend in the second-order script as 'rather-charming' could also be read "terrifying", or simply "yellow"' good stuff!
18:01:06 <Morbus> LOL
18:01:08 <Morbus> that rules/
18:01:14 <Morbus> ahahah.
18:01:35 <sbp> "Why, my dear, you're looking 'rather-charming' in the Bowersian sense today!"
18:02:08 <Morbus> teehee.
18:05:25 <Morbus> 20 minute response time too.
18:07:22 <sbp> yeah
18:07:24 <sbp> replied
18:07:58 <sbp> example Fred cartoon: http://www.ursanity.com/da_lair/u-times/images/fred.gif
18:11:08 <Morbus> should garth go on the timeline?
18:11:48 <Morbus> for reference, we should probably put the dates for those two FR issues, and link to your script on that page somewhere.
18:12:57 <sbp> sure
18:13:39 <sbp> I don't think we should put Garth on the timeline since the fact is really a very, very minor one
18:13:52 <sbp> we don't have, for every year, "X was born before this date"
18:14:01 <sbp> if we knew when he *became* editor, that'd be good
18:14:11 <sbp> is there any mention of who the managing editor is now? it could still be him
18:14:32 <Morbus> nope.
18:14:39 <Morbus> the only thing i added was the the editor has meetings.
18:14:56 <Morbus> "The editor, returning from a meeting down the hall, saw only Windsor, with his hand cupped over Daniel's mouth, leaving "in a huff.""
18:15:12 <sbp> could well be him then. hmm. interesting that I didn't phantom Folktown Records...
18:15:23 <Morbus> well, at the time, you couldn't.
18:15:25 <sbp> s/s././
18:15:28 <Morbus> we just forgot to bakctrack
18:15:37 <Morbus> but, last i knew, Evesque Valley is the most linked now.
18:15:46 <Morbus> funny how that just popped up everywhere recently
18:15:56 <sbp> no, I mean it's interesting that I didn't have Folktown Records as one of my phantoms, so I can define it
18:16:04 <Morbus> oh, oh :)
18:16:20 <sbp> ah, it is plural. that page is wrong
18:17:50 <sbp> fixed
18:18:36 <sbp> Folktown Records nudges ahead now for popularity
18:18:41 <Morbus> huh?
18:18:46 <Morbus> what was pluiral?
18:19:04 <sal> *** sal (~salvatore@63.148.194.253) has joined #swhack
18:19:38 <Morbus> ahh
18:20:02 <Morbus> were the facts i took from Auro alright for ya?
18:20:08 <Morbus> i doubt i'll get to the others this afternono. tonight though
18:20:30 <sbp> yeah, IIRC. I added the Haversham fact though
18:20:31 <Morbus> should probably take out "rather charming" from the facts though.'
18:20:34 <sbp> I might do the others for you
18:20:46 <Morbus> coolio if you do.
18:20:47 <sbp> well, you scare quoted it already :-)
18:21:01 <Morbus> that's the last thing i have on my list of todo items.
18:21:02 <sbp> 'Andelphracia built a "rather charming" clock tower during her mayordom.'
18:21:10 <Morbus> four new entries: awal shrinkage, anaximancer, aelfants.
18:21:10 <Morbus> light in technology. add categories. dates on the FR issues,
18:21:10 <Morbus> and the ages of our two children replicants.
18:21:27 <Morbus> yeah, i was gonna blurb abit about light being somethinig big in the Technology section.
18:21:35 <Morbus> and then go around to all entries and apply categories.
18:21:38 <sbp> yeah, that's a good idea
18:21:39 <Morbus> you've done the last two already
18:22:00 <Morbus> gotta add the issues date and script to the list

19:03:13 <caspercba> crschmidt: no, the log file of a system, /var/log
19:03:18 <crschmidt> ah
19:03:25 <crschmidt> you usually can't
19:03:33 <crschmidt> usually have to be root to change content or permissions or anything
19:03:39 <crschmidt> But really, you'd be better asking that in a linux help channel
19:05:03 <caspercba> crschmidt: i mean, if i broke into a system, how could i move in there without being recorded in the log file?
19:05:21 <crschmidt> Ah
19:05:34 <crschmidt> That would be something you'd want to ask some kind of different community of people, I think.
19:06:22 <jess> . . .
19:06:40 <jsled> caspercba: you can do it if you subvert the dominant paradigm!
19:06:47 <jsled> [or reinit your tree files]
19:06:52 <jess> * jess rolls eyes into next week. people who do that shit suck.

19:09:28 <caspercba> jess: bullshit
19:09:39 <caspercba> jess: i'm being serious
19:09:45 <jess> actually, yes, that *would* subvert the dominant paradigm.
19:09:53 <jess> Why should I or anyone else help you attempt to break into a computer system?
19:10:17 <jess> Or, more specifically, learn the techniques to do so?
19:10:19 <CaptSolo> *** CaptSolo has quit (Read error: 232 (Connection reset by peer))
19:10:36 <caspercba> jess: i'm not trying to break into a comp system. I'm studying security, and i was told to investigate about logs
19:10:45 <Morbus> * Morbus snickers.
19:10:56 <crschmidt> Perhaps you should investigate some resources. Books are good.
19:11:15 <crschmidt> (There tend to be lots of them in this big building called a "library", especially at "schools")
19:11:36 <jess> . . . wait, you want us to DO YOUR HOMEWORK?
19:11:59 <caspercba> crschmith: certain things aren't on books. The book tells you to redirect the logs to a printer, cos the log files aren't secure. But i wanna know why
19:12:55 <crschmidt> Why they aren't secure?
19:13:11 <crschmidt> Why logs aren't secure, that is?
19:13:11 <caspercba> why are logs insecure? if somebody broke into my pc, he wouldn't be able to change the log file. He doesn't have permisiions
19:13:20 <crschmidt> Sure, until he cracks root.
19:13:39 <crschmidt> Sure, until he exploits a flaw in permissions checks and dumps the drive to a file.
19:13:50 <Morbus> Sure, until he formats your drive, leaving you with no logs at all.
19:14:04 <crschmidt> Sure, until he gets physical access and accelerates your computer at 9.8 m/s^2
19:14:06 <caspercba> crschmith: so , that's it? the only way to change a log file is being root?
19:14:16 <jess> Or, if he was really nasty, he could just wipe the drive and install Windows ME.
19:14:18 <caspercba> crschmid: hehe
19:14:34 <caspercba> jess: that would be too bad
19:14:38 <crschmidt> Not neccesarily. I'm sure that there are security bugs that would give access, but it's all a question of how secure you expect things to be.
19:14:54 <jess> I ran Windows ME for a year and a half, therefore I am strong, or at least masochistic.
19:14:58 <crschmidt> In order to be secure, you need at least 2 of three things: 1. something you know, 2. something you have, 3. something you are.
19:15:07 <crschmidt> 1. password. 2. key. 3. biometrics.
19:15:21 <jess> nothing will protect your computer against someone standing in front of it, either.
19:15:45 <crschmidt> Computers almost universally implement #1. Which isn't secure.
19:15:54 <caspercba> jess: i'm supposing the person can't access my pc phisically

19:18:47 <Arnia> * Arnia loves usenet
19:18:50 <Arnia> I huggle it

19:19:54 <Arnia> I don't think you can do a vs any more than you can do vs of email and the web
19:20:01 <Morbus> usenet shouldn't die.
19:20:11 <Morbus> too many good binary groups
19:20:12 <Morbus> * Morbus ducks
19:20:26 <crschmidt> Okay, need to develop a javascript interface for draggable scheduling blocks.
19:20:39 <crschmidt> Basically, a calendar application in javascript with drag and drop blocks of time.
19:20:46 <crschmidt> Possible? Not possible? Ever seen anything like it?
19:20:56 <crschmidt> ANd if the answer is no to javascript, where do I go to try and stay in the browser?
19:21:21 <crschmidt> Is java the next step? I don't think anything else can do it in the browser.
19:21:29 <Arnia> crschmidt: Its possible with ecmascript
19:21:47 <Arnia> crschmidt: Look at the various windowing systems written *entirely* using it
19:23:04 <arcon> crschmidt, it is definately possible, browser support is a whole other ball of wax though
19:23:21 <crschmidt> I'm probably going to be working with windows boxen using IE
19:23:27 <crschmidt> (Definitely windows, possibly on the IE)
19:23:39 <arcon> as long as it as a fairly recent browser you should be fine
19:23:54 <arcon> mozilla, ie 6, opera 7, etc.
19:23:56 <Arnia> DOM support is actually not bad cross browser
19:24:18 <Arnia> There is a nice DOM abstractor that fixes bugs in DOM support
19:24:38 <arcon> not terrible as long as the browser was released in the last two years or so, however for the "general wab" where supporting things lke IE 5 on windows and mac is concerned
19:24:40 <Arnia> I think Kryogenix may have linked to that one...
19:24:41 <arcon> it's a pita
19:24:47 <crschmidt> Yeah, I'm not doing General web
19:24:56 <crschmidt> just my boss's other office, 20 people or so max
19:25:40 <arcon> then you shouldn't have a problem, just move stuff around by chaing css properties, also position it all absolute
19:25:56 <arcon> s/chaing/changing/
19:26:13 <arcon> position what you want moveable absolute I mean ;)
19:26:50 <crschmidt> hm
19:26:51 <crschmidt> okay.
19:27:00 <crschmidt> I guess I need to learn Javascript this weekene.dd.
19:27:08 <arcon> hehe
19:27:18 <Arnia> Its a cool language
19:27:26 <Arnia> Its a syntax for LISP in many ways :)
19:27:28 <arcon> or'reilly has some good books
19:27:32 <Morbus> i wrote two of 'em.
19:27:45 <arcon> on javascript?
19:27:53 <Morbus> no, on my ass.
19:28:04 <Morbus> i am so fucking witty, its pathetic.

20:01:02 <sbp> heh, the FF is printed really, really badly. p153 of Comedies is numbered p151
20:03:12 <Arnia> :)
20:05:04 <sbp> I wonder if Isaac Jaggard knew just how important the book is, and that he'd be the source of some eyebrow raising for centuries to come? :-)
20:05:17 <sbp> clearly not, otherwise he'd've taken a bit more care
20:05:37 <Arnia> It was just another book at that stage
20:06:25 <sbp> not according to the prefaces. the people who knew Shakespeare seemed to have an inkling that his works were for all time; you'd think they'd've tried to impart that belief to the printer too though
20:07:04 <Arnia> Shakespeare is a natural example for lectures on referential transparency...
20:08:09 <sbp> oh?
20:08:50 <sbp> 161 is labelled 163...
20:10:52 <Arnia> Maybe interfaces would be better. One entity two names that capture different pieces of information
20:11:12 <sbp> I still don't follow
20:11:25 <Arnia> Shakespeare and Marlowe
20:11:30 <sbp> what about them?
20:12:13 <Arnia> Never mind... I'm far too knacked to explain tonight :) It was just meant to be a throw-away comment...
20:12:27 <sbp> no, no, please explain
20:14:08 <Arnia> The idea that Shakespeare's plays were written by Marlowe. Since Shakespeare's identity for most people is his set of plays and sonnets, you could view Shakespeare and Marlowe as one object that provides IShakespeare and IMarlowe
20:14:23 <Arnia> Silly whimsical idea... but I'm half asleep
20:15:21 <sbp> ah, right. Marlowe's a pretty low contender on the list these days though
20:15:41 <sbp> (his being dead when most of the plays were written is the main problem)
20:16:05 <Arnia> Well there is question over that as well
20:16:11 <sbp> I know
20:16:23 <sbp> but mainly over *how* he died
20:16:47 <Arnia> But it was just a piece of whimsy from a knackered boy. I really don't want to get into this tonight
20:17:06 <sbp> nothing to get into; you explained it well
20:17:19 <Arnia> I managed to wrap PET in python last night and its taken it out of me :)
20:17:32 <sbp> good stuff. releasing the source any time soon?
20:17:35 <Arnia> This does mean I can begin work on that PET bot I've been talking about
20:17:55 <sbp> whoo!
20:18:04 <Arnia> Yeah, I'll put it in my repository this week... got to figure out more about autotools first
20:18:47 <sbp> great. thanks
20:19:27 <Arnia> There are some stability issues, but I suspect they're bugs in PET so I'd need to find someone who understands C++ well enough to debug them
20:20:01 <Arnia> (namely, the PET unifier segfaults with certain shape chart parses)
20:20:13 <Arnia> And that brings down python as well at the moment
20:20:43 <Arnia> Need to figure out a way to isolate that exception and wrap it as a python ParserError exception
20:21:00 <Arnia> Well not C++ exception... exceptional condition
20:21:48 <sbp> shame we don't have any C++ers that I know of here
20:23:28 <balbinus> *** balbinus has left #swhack
20:23:31 <Arnia> Yeah. The next stage is writing another API that takes the MRS structure produced by my API and turning into an RDF graph so it can be reasoned upon
20:26:14 <Arnia> I'm quite pleased with what I've got so far though
20:27:28 <Arnia> If you get any time, I'd love to have your help with building this into a bot that can understand NL questions

21:41:45 <Morbus> this time around, the SQL queries are fine too.

21:42:31 <sbp> that's what I keep thinking: it gets such a good testing over there. they have like three edits a second
21:42:37 <Morbus> yeah.
21:42:39 <Morbus> no kidding
21:45:06 <Morbus> "Folktown Records" has a good chance of being 50% of files.
21:45:24 <Morbus> there are 8 (Main) results.
21:45:37 <Morbus> it's a wanted word, with 9 incoming links.
21:45:45 <Morbus> but, that's the plural variant.
21:45:58 <Morbus> we expunged all singular variants this morning, which started this whole mess.
21:46:02 <Morbus> i hate when i'm in the wrong damn room
21:46:37 <Morbus> woot!
21:46:40 <Morbus> he tested it on his own code
21:46:42 <Morbus> and he duplicated it.
21:46:45 <Morbus> so we're not nutty! <G>
21:47:13 <Morbus> [17:48] <brion_work> my guess is that it's first checking that all the search terms appear in the index, then doing a naive substring match of the phrase

21:52:19 <Morbus> [17:53] <Morbus> well, gives me what i expect.
21:52:19 <Morbus> [17:53] <Morbus> nothing.
21:55:18 <Morbus> yep.
21:56:23 <Morbus> so,
21:56:39 <Morbus> nutshell, sbp: if you want "Folktown Record" with word boundaries, you need " Folktown Record "
21:56:43 <Morbus> and it's a MySQL bug.
21:56:53 <Morbus> because even though "" groups the entry for MysQL, it substrings, not word boundaries.

22:49:02 <sbp> how do you move pages? could you make it "Altox Bulb" instead?
22:49:26 <Morbus> looks good.
22:49:31 <Morbus> yeah, there's a move buton
22:49:36 <Morbus> keeps redirects and blah balh blah
22:49:51 <Morbus> annoying, it lists them on the "All pages" thing too (as per "Progress Report 1".
22:50:31 <sbp> mind if I move it then?
22:52:06 <Morbus> wasn't the original name "Altox bulb"? i see you changed it to "Altoxian Bulb"
22:52:18 <Morbus> ah, "to most".
22:52:23 <Morbus> yeah, I'd change it to "Altoxian Bulb" then
22:52:32 <Morbus> for the new page name
22:52:36 <sbp> Altoxian? really?
22:52:45 <Morbus> well, that's what you named it.
22:52:50 <Morbus> "Altoxian Bulb"
22:52:53 <sbp> okay...
22:53:11 <Morbus> well ,wait, hold
22:53:30 <Morbus> in the original, he says "to most known as the ALtoxian Bulb"
22:53:50 <Morbus> but you seem to change it a b it
22:53:51 <Morbus> The bulbs, perhaps more commonly known as "Altox Bulbs" or "Altoxian's Bulbs"
22:54:05 <sbp> yeah
22:54:07 <Morbus> you've got "Altoxian Bulb", "Altox Bulb" and "Altoxian's Bulbs"
22:54:45 <sbp> well if it's known to most as "Altoxian Bulbs" that should be the primary term. I did invent "Altoxian's Bulbs", but I wanted some stuff to indicate that we got a lot of conflictory stuff
22:54:51 <sbp> you can remove it if you like
22:54:59 <Morbus> nah, i'm fine with it.
22:55:04 <sbp> cool
22:55:09 <Morbus> so, you want Altox Bulb or Altoxian Bulb?
22:55:13 <Morbus> for the title
22:55:21 <sbp> for what? oh, the title should be Altoxian Bulb
22:55:30 <Morbus> so, that'd be the page name too?
22:55:41 <sbp> yeah. already done it: http://gamegrene.com/wiki/Altoxian_Bulb
22:55:59 <Morbus> I think it should be Bulbs Of Al... well, fuck.nevermind
22:56:07 <sbp> you can change the sub-heading to something more appropriate, if you feel
22:56:19 <Morbus> nah, Altoxian Bulb seems like the best fit to me.
22:56:19 <sbp> "Bulbs of Altoxian" wouldn't make it an "A" entry :-)
22:56:25 <sbp> for the sub-heading?
22:56:33 <Morbus> ooh, interesting.
22:56:36 <sbp> I was thinking that "Reconstructed Entry" might be better
22:56:43 <sbp> something along those lines anyway
22:56:45 <Morbus> the old wiki links take you the original, but with the renamed page name
22:57:05 <sbp> heh, so they do. that's neat
22:57:13 <sbp> might make more people use the new link
22:57:16 <Morbus> MOnty, remind me in 40 minutes about my chicken again
22:57:16 <Monty> Morbus: Okay, I'll remind you about that on Sat Sep 04 00:37:13 BST 2004
22:57:20 <sbp> hehe
22:57:30 <Morbus> that's really handy.
22:57:36 <Morbus> i'm way too fucking lazy to use at
22:57:44 <sbp> yeah
22:58:19 <sbp> not so good if we're talking about sorbets a lot or something though. Motorbikes
22:58:27 <Morbus> well, with all my tests, I'd like to say that today's changelog looks the worst.
22:58:33 <sbp> heh
22:58:37 <Morbus> :)
22:58:40 <sbp> shame you can't do Really Minor Edits
22:58:46 <Morbus> heh.
22:58:52 <Morbus> well, user prefs can hide minors.
22:58:55 <Morbus> but who wants to do that? <G>
22:58:58 <sbp> yeah
22:59:01 <Morbus> that's where the best comments are.
22:59:02 <sbp> it's like hiding dotfiles
22:59:03 <Morbus> * Morbus chuckles.
22:59:08 <sbp> heh, heh
22:59:09 <Morbus> yeah, exactly :)
23:00:19 <Morbus> * Morbus works on LibDB for a few hours.
23:01:42 <sbp> whee, time for a rampage on Ghyll then
23:01:48 <Morbus> uh oh.
23:01:56 <sbp> when the cat's away, the mice shall play!
23:01:57 <Morbus> i've really put off libdb this week.
23:02:00 <sbp> yeah
23:02:07 <Morbus> fuckign ghyll
23:02:08 <Morbus> ;)
23:02:12 <sbp> pfft
23:02:12 <Morbus> damn our success! ;)
23:02:25 <sbp> fucking it sounds better than damning it
23:02:47 <Morbus> ghyllettes - the best a man can get
23:03:00 <sbp> heheh
23:03:21 <Morbus> actually, is it gill, or jill?
23:03:27 <sbp> gill
23:03:32 <Morbus> ok, phew ;)
23:03:47 <sbp> I think it was coined by Wordsworth
23:03:52 <sbp> the original word is "gill"
23:04:06 <sbp> a mainly northern dialectal word. from ON, IIRC
23:04:30 <sbp> hmm
23:04:39 <Morbus> NP: 'Chrono Trigger Blue Minded God OC ReMix' from Zeratul's album 'http://www.ocremix.org'; Unrated;
23:04:41 <sbp> it's still the miscoranda post on the first page of results on Google
23:04:51 <sbp> need another index dance I guess
23:05:02 <Morbus> oh, i haven't checked to see if there have been new incomings
23:05:14 <sbp> ooh
23:05:32 <sbp> only 865 hits so far on the homepage
23:05:39 <sbp> a lot of activity for that meagre figure
23:06:14 <Morbus> none that i can see.
23:06:19 <sbp> shame
23:06:20 <Morbus> for a quick look.
23:06:32 <Morbus> actually, its a shame, but i'm alright with tht.
23:06:36 <Morbus> i fear more As.
23:06:48 <Morbus> i mean, there's still a week left.
23:07:45 <bjoern_> *** bjoern_ has quit (No route to host)
23:08:37 <sbp> * sbp nods
23:08:48 <sbp> quick, drag the deadline back whilst no-one's looking!
23:08:58 <Morbus> heh, heh.
23:17:29 <jetscreamer> * jetscreamer is curious what skills are required to work for Morbus, but doesn't wish to apply or anything.
23:18:06 <sbp> you have to be handy with the old lube, able to receive things around five inches in diameter, etc.
23:18:28 <jetscreamer> you dropped a left decimal...
23:18:43 <sbp> I did what to a what now?
23:18:48 <jetscreamer> .5
23:18:51 <sbp> heh
23:20:09 <sbp> he sends a lot of poster tubes through the mail, you see
23:20:18 <sbp> they don't go through mail flaps very well
23:22:08 <Morbus> brb

23:25:43 <Arnia> *** Arnia has quit ("Leaving")
23:26:21 <MoiraA> so no php experts here? :(
23:26:32 <sbp> Morbus and Arnia have been known to dabble
23:26:52 <Morbus> what's up?
23:26:52 <MoiraA> nvm, I posted the problem on a forum, might get some ideas
23:27:02 <Morbus> dabble? libdb is php! ;)
23:27:18 <MoiraA> what I posted before, this problem of "funweb" spyware preventing people registering for a site a friend of mine runs
23:28:36 <MoiraA> essentially, it's possible to capture the string "Browser : Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; FunWebProducts-MyWay; Hotbar 4.4.6.0)".... how do I get a script to read JUST the "Funweb" part and then do a page redirect if it's found?
23:29:07 <MoiraA> Php, javascript - doesn't matter - If we can get the basics of the method we can write either.
23:29:47 <Morbus> if (preg_match('FunWeb', $_SERVER['UserAgent']) { print "Location: http://microsoft.com/\n\n"; }
23:29:54 <Morbus> i don't think the $_SERVER var is right
23:29:58 <Morbus> but something like that.
23:30:02 <Morbus> the Useragent is avail to php
23:30:37 <MoiraA> heh excellent :)
23:30:44 <MoiraA> that's a big help - thanks!
23:30:57 <MoiraA> any pointers are much appreciated, we're getting a bit desperate
23:31:09 <Morbus> * Morbus stares at monty and takes out his chicken.
23:31:09 <Monty> Looks interesting though!
23:31:13 <MoiraA> this is a business and this scourge spyware is starting to prevent people registering
23:31:18 <MoiraA> and losing money
23:31:22 <Morbus> MoiraA: well, you do it throughj APache
23:31:28 <Morbus> it'll be at a lower level then php.
23:31:30 <Morbus> and faster
23:31:33 <MoiraA> ok
23:31:37 <MoiraA> thx
23:31:40 <Morbus> probably a better idea that client side or external lang programming.
23:31:50 <Morbus> .g Deny from UserAgent apache
23:32:03 <Morbus> * Morbus grumbles
23:32:10 <MoiraA> I'll pass this on to Brad .... thx a lot
23:32:20 <phenny> Deny from UserAgent apache: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_access.html
23:32:22 <Morbus> i think i acutally wrote about this.
23:32:26 <Morbus> * Morbus roots around
23:32:33 <Morbus> ah, here we go.
23:32:36 <Morbus> http://hacks.oreilly.com/pub/h/221
23:32:38 <Morbus> same principal applies.
23:32:48 <Morbus> and I wrote it, its on Oreilly, and I rule.
23:33:01 <jetscreamer> \o/
23:33:39 <MoiraA> Morbus this is great
23:33:45 <MoiraA> I'm very grateful, many thanks
23:33:50 <MoiraA> you've been a huge help
23:34:00 <Morbus> do i get sex now?
23:34:09 <MoiraA> you get a hug, how's that?
23:34:15 <MoiraA> * MoiraA gives {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{ Morbus }}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} one of her SqueezeYouTightNeverLetYouGo MEGA hugs!!!
23:34:21 <Morbus> you got boobies right?
23:34:31 <MoiraA> sorry for the spamming :/ hope this channel doesn't mind
23:34:42 <MoiraA> and err ... yes
23:34:46 <MoiraA> not massive ones :)
23:34:50 <Morbus> woohoo!
23:34:55 <Morbus> that's alright.
23:34:58 <Morbus> i don't like massive ones.
23:35:02 <Morbus> if i can't cup 'em, they're too big
23:35:16 <MoiraA> yeah
23:36:15 <Morbus> back in a bit. eating chicken
23:37:21 <Monty> Morbus: You asked me to remind you about your chicken again
23:40:32 <MoiraA> Morbus: that script. does preg_match mean something?
23:40:47 <MoiraA> I know you're eating chicken :)
23:40:53 <MoiraA> just whenever you get back
23:41:50 <sbp> so yeah, never hug Morbus
23:41:54 <sbp> anyway: documentation: http://uk2.php.net/preg_match
23:42:06 <sbp> "Searches subject for a match to the regular expression given in pattern."
23:42:30 <MoiraA> thanks sbp!
23:42:38 <sbp> no problem
23:42:48 <sbp> note that Morbus' syntax is a bit broken, I think. needs an extra paren
23:42:51 <sbp> (preg_match('FunWeb', $_SERVER['UserAgent']))
23:43:45 <MoiraA> cheers
23:43:54 <MoiraA> you guys are great, this is giving us something to work on
23:44:37 <sbp> I'd probably filter it out with mod_rewrite as Morbus does in the article he linked to
23:44:46 <sbp> but it sounds like you're in a "the first thing that works!" situation
23:44:57 <sbp> and mod_rewrite probably isn't best for that
23:45:27 <MoiraA> well yes
23:45:39 <MoiraA> we desperately need to stop the flood of people having problems
23:45:47 <MoiraA> so many help tickets about this it isn't true
23:45:58 <MoiraA> and god knows how many people have tried to register, failed and given up

23:59:43 <Morbus> i wish.
23:59:49 <Morbus> i really have to write at least one routine.
