00:00:17 <bjoern_> it also happens that the csswg just recently tweaked the rightsizing bits in the spec a bit, which affects this scenario
00:00:34 <bjoern_> I don't have the bandwidth for details though
00:01:00 <clsn> sokay. not entirely important until it's more accepted and implemented anyway,.

13:48:04 <sbp> hi jcowan!
13:48:10 <sbp> "The English language is incapable of expressing how much I loathe Outlook. I’d have to learn Klingon to really get the point across." - http://assortedgeekery.com/archives/2005/11/24/email_client_to_rule_them_all
13:48:42 * jcowan mwahahahahas.
13:48:43 <Arnia> hah
13:49:15 <jcowan> I don't actually *loathe* Outlook, but then I only use it when communicating with cow orkers.
13:50:38 <jsled> The IMAP interface to Exchange is pretty good. I actually find it faster, over a VPN, cross-US, than while in the office with Outlook itself.
14:03:12 <jcowan> What client do you use for it?
14:09:14 <Talliesin> I'm becoming increasingly unenamoured with Thunderbird.
14:09:32 <Talliesin> For a start, I wish they'd add Thunderbird to the list of mail clients they'll import from.
14:10:40 <jcowan> Don't they allow import from Eudora?
14:10:49 <jcowan> Or, I should say, import of what?
14:11:05 * jcowan uses mutt for serious email.
14:12:49 <kpreid> .compare outlook klingon [klingon outlook]
14:12:53 <phenny> outlook (418,000,000), klingon (6,790,000), klingon outlook (76,600)
14:13:19 <jcowan> Gak. However, that may be the ordinary noun "outlook".
14:13:36 <kpreid> hey, where's Google's "searching <bignum> web pages" number?
14:13:47 <kpreid> now I can't do the calculation I wanted
14:13:55 <jcowan> It must have gone the way of McDonald's.
14:13:57 <sbp> jcowan: have you tried using Thunderbird etc. as a replacement to mutt? what keeps you using mutt, exposure to it? in the same way that deltab uses BitchX instead of irssi (or did)
14:14:21 <jcowan> I did use Mozilla Mail for a long time instead of mutt, but it was just too slow for me.
14:14:33 <jcowan> Nothing can beat the ability to go dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
14:14:33 <sbp> I used Outlook Express for a long time, way too long, before moving to Thunderbird
14:14:39 <sbp> (and thence to Gmail, which rules the planet)
14:14:42 <sbp> chuckle
14:14:54 <sbp> yeah, it's still slow as crap
14:15:12 <jcowan> I was an elm guy before mutt.
14:15:23 <sbp> ooh, what precipitated that change?
14:15:37 <jcowan> and, hmm, I forget what before that.
14:15:45 <Talliesin> (15:08:33) jcowan: Don't they allow import from Eudora?
14:15:45 <Talliesin> I think they do, but you can't import from other Thunderbird files, say grabbed from a back-up or from another machine. Nuisance.
14:15:49 <jcowan> Elm stopped being maintained.
14:15:58 <sbp> ah
14:16:16 <Talliesin> How are you too these days anyway?
14:16:29 <jsled> jcowan: Evolution, I use.
14:16:31 <sbp> ehyup Talliesin
14:16:35 <Talliesin> My return to #swhack has been half-hearted and I haven't really followed anything.
14:16:37 <jcowan> I feel better than I have for a while.
14:16:52 <jcowan> Not much to follow. Too many people (dig! dig!) hiding in off-the-record channels.
14:16:56 <sbp> yeah man, you should get on the trolley! we's rockin' and rollin' and hackin' and sassin' as usual
14:17:04 <jcowan> Lies, foul lies.
14:17:04 <sbp> yeah, that's a huge problem
14:17:10 * sbp kills d8uv in the face
14:17:30 <Talliesin> I'm unconnected at home (for all the amount of time I'm there rather than at my GFs anyway) and busy when working.
14:17:37 <sbp> I of course contribute to the Swhacklessness by generally focussing on other windows
14:17:51 <sbp> Talliesin: ah, bummer
14:17:53 <jcowan> (hence the "(dig! dig!)")
14:17:55 <Talliesin> Off to Zealand for 6 days soon \o/
14:17:59 <sbp> yeah...
14:18:00 <Talliesin> Tomorrow in fact.
14:18:06 <sbp> ooh, nice. bring us all back a sheep!
14:18:21 <jcowan> Or at least the useful bits.
14:18:31 <sbp> heh
14:18:48 <jcowan> ("The good old days, when men were men and sheep were nervous.")
14:19:31 <sbp> "I've got a soft spot for Vicky, but it's getting harder all the time!"
14:19:52 * sbp actually has a Nigel Rees book
14:20:24 <Talliesin> Zealand is more seals and herrings than sheep
14:20:30 <Talliesin> New Zealand for the sheep.
14:20:34 <kpreid> http://countyoursheep.com/
14:20:38 <jcowan> "He is also the author of two books about graffiti." --WP
14:20:49 <jcowan> Ah.
14:21:19 <jcowan> I have been trying to discover how Ozites pronounce "Grote Eylant", but all I get is answers from wise-ass Dutchmen.
14:21:25 <sbp> Talliesin: oh, whoops
14:22:25 <sbp> bring us back a rock from Elsinore then, I guess
14:22:34 <jcowan> "Every episode since its inception in 1976 has been chaired by the devisor Nigel Rees." --WP s.v. "Quote... Unquote"
14:22:48 <jcowan> A masterpiece of badness, that sentence is.
14:23:28 <jcowan> Though rightly New Zealand is named after Zeeland, not Zealand.
14:24:31 <kandinski> jcowan: I find it a great line
14:25:04 <kandinski> it reads like England has come from an even weirder paralell dimension than the one it has come from in the present timeline
14:25:20 *** kandinski changed the topic to: "chaired by the devisor"
14:25:51 <Talliesin> Or to be really pendantic, New Zealand is named after the Zealand that is also called Zeeland, rather than the Zealand that isn't.
14:25:56 <jcowan> Not to mention the illogic of "Every episode ... since its inception in 1976". Obviously every episode did not begin in 1976!
14:26:09 * jcowan bows to Talliesin.
14:26:21 <kandinski> every episode since the inception of the series
14:26:44 <kandinski> that would be a mistake I could also make if there were a mention to the series in the previous sentence
14:26:53 <Talliesin> Pedantry is something it's important to be able to do, even if one normally shouldn't.
14:27:38 <kandinski> I do a lot of bad anaphora
14:29:02 *** danja (n=danja@host13-220.pool80104.interbusiness.it) has joined #swhack
14:29:26 <jcowan> "All episodes since its inception" would be unexceptionable.
14:29:34 <jcowan> (The series is indeed mentioned in the previous sentence.)
14:29:45 <Talliesin> Somewhat redundant.
14:29:49 <kandinski> true
14:30:00 <kandinski> there weren't any episodes *before* the inception
14:30:13 <kandinski> that was what I spotted at first
14:30:20 <Talliesin> I imagine the episodes before its inception would be the null set. And I don't even know what you are talking about.
14:31:32 <Talliesin> This appears to be an attempt to fit the facts that it was began in 1976 and that all episodes were chaired by Nigel Rees, who also devised it, into a single sentence. Striving for bonus points by using "inception" rather than "beginning".
14:31:41 <kandinski> This is something to think about:
14:31:47 <kandinski> I also do a lot of cataphora.
14:31:51 *** danja has parted #swhack ()
14:32:08 <kandinski> and "devisor"
14:32:15 <kandinski> don't forget "devisor"
14:32:53 <Talliesin> How you doing on endophora
14:32:59 <jcowan> "deviser" might be tolerable, but -or is rarely if ever productive in English.
14:33:11 <jcowan> Cataphora?
14:33:22 <Talliesin> A type of endophora.

14:35:39 <jcowan> [[
14:35:49 <Talliesin> jcowan: more to the point, devisor has a technical meaning different to "deviser". Or at least it's more commonly used in terms of devising property in a will, so it's either completely wrong, or at least misleading in implication.

14:48:00 <sbp> "panellists" was used in Nature in one of the quotes
14:48:52 <Talliesin> OED isn't entirely indicative of en-GB norms anyway - it's normative spelling convetions differing from those most often used in Britain, notably with regard to -ise/-ize and variant suffixes.
14:49:27 <sbp> well, just in the definition text
14:49:48 <sbp> in the headwords and its quotes it aims to be as descriptivist as possible
14:51:31 <Talliesin> Indeed.
14:52:06 <jcowan> Which is why we have en-gb-oed in RFC 3066.
14:52:24 <Talliesin> None the less, those headwords are not en-GB but en-GB-OED (a dialect of which Michael Everson may be the only native speaker :)
14:52:39 <jcowan> kpreid: Indeed. So the +past got removed from the verb and added to the noun as if it were the irregular verb "shrink"
14:52:55 <jcowan> No, he's a native of Pennsylvania.
14:53:47 <kpreid> jcowan: whereas mine was moving a "d" suffix even though it doesn't mean the same thing, but yes.

14:57:19 <jcowan> Or at least it took a conscious effort on my part *to* say them.
14:57:27 <Talliesin> The use of Irish forms of addresses and similar is common amongst Irish speakers. As an Irish speaker it would be easy for him to pick it up without much concious affectation.

14:58:31 <Talliesin> Where in Ireland? That particular hibernicism is no longer that common - or at least it's still not unusual to use alternatives to "Yes" and "No", but is unusual to never use them.
14:59:14 <Talliesin> "Grand so" is so common in some parts that it would be easily picked up. Certainly I picked it up druing my time in Dublin, though it's uncommon in Down where I grew up.

15:03:37 <jcowan> nsh: if you wanted "mine" = "place where ore comes from", it came through French from Latin, and was probably borrowed there from a Celtic language.
15:03:56 <jcowan> "from the base of me" -- not bad.
15:04:23 <nsh> ah
15:04:25 <nsh> ty jcowan
15:04:40 <sbp> Arnia: thanks
15:04:55 <nsh> c.1303, from O.Fr. mine, probably from a Celtic source (cf. Welsh mwyn, Ir. mein "ore, mine"), from O.Celt. *meini-. Italy and Greece were relatively poor in minerals, thus they did not contribute a word for this to Eng., but there was extensive mining from an early date in Celtic lands (Cornwall, etc.). The verb meaning "to dig in a mine" is from c.1300.

15:08:03 <jcowan> kandinski: I think it would be more accurate to say I can hold it down or limit it, but I can't just turn it off; it comes out more strongly when I am excited or animated.
15:08:15 <sbp> nsh: there we go, you're officially in the source
15:08:21 <kandinski> I am one too, and I do it more consciously in English than in Spanish
15:08:22 <Arnia> mmm... nectarines, raspberries and blueberries
15:08:46 <sbp> nsh: also, if you have some particular use cases in mind it'd let me think how phenny ought to do it
15:08:55 <jcowan> kandinski: A F2F conversation between us would probably be some wildly unstable oscillation of accents.
15:09:05 <kandinski> so we could end up drifting towards our own pidgin (if it weren't because mimicking non-native speakers is usually more easily supressed)
15:09:06 <sbp> one guideline I subscribe to is that phenny should try as much as possible to mimic how I do stuff
15:09:14 <sbp> hence the "..." - URI format for .ety in the first place
15:09:32 <kandinski> jcowan: couldn't mutual attraction lead us to a stable state?
15:09:46 <jcowan> Conceivably.
15:10:08 <jcowan> But I wouldn't just postulate an attractor in this phase space; we'd have to experiment.
15:10:25 <kandinski> my favourite example is how I "get" a navarro accent when visiting, and the ensuing row with my cousins:
15:10:31 <kandinski> < cousin> quit mocking me!
15:10:41 <kandinski> < me> (mimicking her accent) I am not mocking you!
15:10:52 <sbp> Arnia: ooh, this looks good but mathy. I'd have to spend some time learning the mathy bits
15:11:33 * jcowan laughs heartily.
15:11:37 <Arnia> sbp: I'm still working on the maths... my tensor theory is better now, but my calculus still isn't good enough
15:11:48 <jcowan> What is a navarro accent like, and is it Basque-y (vasconic?)?
15:11:48 <Arnia> Have other things to worry about really though
15:12:10 * sbp was thinking about doing university level maths after doing well at college level maths, but decided that that would be insane since he entirely hates it, and has avoided it ever since :-)
15:12:44 <kandinski> jcowan: some people confuse them, but navarro-rivera (which is where my family is from) can be indistinguishable from Aragonés

19:58:21 <crschmidt> I wonder if $nick is some special case
19:58:40 <tobbez> I think that's the bot's name
19:58:41 <crschmidt> yep
19:58:41 <crschmidt> elif isinstance(rule, basestring):
19:58:41 <crschmidt> rule = rule.replace('$nick', self.nick)
19:59:31 <tobbez> thanks, got it working :)
19:59:39 <crschmidt> np! glad i could help.

20:48:59 <ows> what's the best way to analyse a 3 GB RDF file
20:49:15 <ows> (without using sesame or stuff like that)
20:49:34 *** edje has quit (Remote closed the connection)
20:49:53 *** cori[s] has quit (" ...")
20:50:38 <perigrin> analyse how?
20:51:44 <ows> well, for instance, a 30KB file
20:51:59 <ows> can be managed quite easily with emacs
20:52:11 <ows> what's the solution to a 3 GB RDF file?
20:52:29 * perigrin has cracked open 3GB files with less, and more ... and for that matter vim
20:52:44 <ows> hum
20:52:47 <ows> I'll try
20:52:55 <ows> but doesn't seem easy
20:54:00 <perigrin> it's not ... and most of the files I deal with regularly that are that size are 1) pipe deliminated and 2) I'm trying to process with grep or sed or awk anyway
20:54:06 <ows> is there something that ease navigation in RDF files
20:54:10 <ows> (using vim or emacs)
20:54:43 <perigrin> not that I know of using those two, I find myself using find a lot
20:55:07 <crschmidt> a 3GB file in vim... you better hope you've got a lot of memory
20:55:13 <crschmidt> at least, with syntax highlighting on
20:55:41 <perigrin> hmm ... I usually use vi rather than vim
20:56:01 <perigrin> I didn't realize vim would try to load it into ram
20:56:31 <crschmidt> I don't know exactly what it does.
20:56:44 <crschmidt> But I know that I don't open Very Large Files (> 100MB) in vim, usually just use less/more
20:58:03 <perigrin> which brings us back to "analyse how" ? :)
20:58:19 <perigrin> Are you trying to figure out if it's well formed, or what data it contains ?
20:58:23 <perigrin> or something else?
20:58:38 <crschmidt> ows: typically, with Very Large RDF, I'll just load it into Redland, and use SPARQL against it.
20:59:14 <perigrin> and that's probably what I'd recommend with some kind of DB Backed storage rather than an in-memory solution
20:59:37 <crschmidt> Sorry, I should be more specific:
20:59:44 <crschmidt> I'd load it into a MySQL-backed Redland storage
20:59:47 <crschmidt> and use SPARQL against it
21:00:05 <perigrin> I'd heard rumors there's pg backing now :)
21:00:14 <crschmidt> Oh?
21:00:23 <crschmidt> I've not seen anything about that on the redland list
21:00:27 <perigrin> ubu mentioned it in #axkit-dahut
21:01:02 <perigrin> he and nacho use redland *a lot* at their job.
21:01:08 <crschmidt> "Storage for graphs in memory, with Sleepycat/Berkeley DB, MySQL 3/4, AKT Triplestore, SQLite, files or URIs."
21:01:12 <crschmidt> Not mentioned on the homepage.
21:01:27 * perigrin shrugs
21:01:30 <perigrin> I said it was a rumor
21:02:02 <crschmidt> Redland Sucks Anyway, just like the Semantic Web
21:02:12 <jsled> heh.
21:02:21 <jsled> just like computers, too.
21:02:22 <perigrin> in fact
21:02:23 <perigrin> http://lists.usefulinc.com/pipermail/redland-dev/2006-July/001355.html
21:02:45 <crschmidt> interesting
21:02:52 <crschmidt> good point, i remember seeing that and just ignoring it at the time :)
21:02:58 <crschmidt> Anyway, I'm a MySQL user
21:03:03 <crschmidt> postgres is a Scary Database
21:03:12 <crschmidt> MySQL is a good database for Stupid People Like Me

23:22:22 <JibberJim> because #svg is friendly and never on topic!

23:44:58 <JibberJim> ensure that you make the right meetings with the consitutents
23:45:14 <sbp> or meet with the constituents for you
23:45:25 <sbp> whilst you're down the pub discussing important tax issues with the other MEPs
23:46:17 <JibberJim> hmm, It doesn't sound like you're taking your responsibilities seriously as an MEP
23:48:00 <sbp> what responsibilities?
23:48:11 <sbp> Europe's doing just fine
23:52:04 <JibberJim> It's not expanding!
23:52:12 <JibberJim> what was the last country it conquered!
23:52:25 <JibberJim> come on it should be pushing out, take turkey
23:52:28 <sbp> huh, that's a very good point
23:52:39 <sbp> Turkey isn't done yet, so I hear
23:52:48 <sbp> they have to be kinder to humans first or something
23:52:55 <JibberJim> so as an MEP you could be forcing it!
23:56:16 <sbp> "be kinder to humans so that we can invade you and make you one of us!"
23:56:36 <sbp> what after Turkey? turn to Asia, or to Africa?
23:56:43 <bancus> Russia
23:56:47 <sbp> we'd have to recontinentalise them
23:56:52 <sbp> okay, I guess Russia makes more sense
23:56:57 <sbp> since it's partly in Europe anyway
23:57:01 <bancus> exactly
23:57:06 <sbp> well, same with Turkey. that's partly in Asia
23:57:12 <sbp> and they really are thinking of adding it to the EU
23:57:15 <bancus> You're pushing the limits as it is.
23:57:16 <sbp> they've got some nerve
23:57:18 <sbp> yeah
23:57:31 <bancus> But once you've done them, you can change your name to the Eurasian Union
23:57:44 <bancus> Keep the same acronyms and everything, then start gobbling up asia.
23:58:05 <bancus> One you have asia you get 7 extra men per turn, then you don't even need a name, you can say "Fuck you, world, we own you."
23:58:40 <bancus> Assuming you can hold asia, which has been historically tricky.
23:59:02 <bjoern_> I'd like the EU to acquire antarctica; antarctica not only has a stargate and an ancient outpost, but also lots of fresh water, which is sort of important.
