12:47:34 <sbp> nwalsh: ping
12:47:46 <sbp> just asked this on #xml —
12:47:47 <sbp> 12:36 <sbp> quite a few years ago somebody made a bit of software which took an input XML document and barfed out basically a pretty version of the SAX events
12:47:47 <sbp> 12:37 <sbp> does anybody remember the name of the software?
12:47:47 <sbp> 12:37 <sbp> I sorta think it was by Sean McGrath, but I'm not sure
12:47:47 <sbp> 12:37 <sbp> and it was probably circa 2002, announced on xml-dev
12:47:48 <sbp> 12:37 <sbp> I've been checking The Googles of course
12:53:44 <sbp> can't find it still, ah well
12:53:54 <sbp> what I'm really wanting to write is a webpage updates monitor
12:54:02 <sbp> only, I'm hoping to do it as computationally cheaply as possible
12:54:13 <sbp> (read: stuck together with bubblegum)
12:54:38 <sbp> so I figure all I need to do is make periodic caches of the webpage
12:54:50 <sbp> then compare the current version with the old one using some HTML diff tool
12:55:17 <sbp> and for the diff tool I figured I'd just serialise HTML events and diff that with a regular line-based diff tool. in other words, create a line-based serialisation of HTML
12:55:42 <sbp> the caching is the hardest bit really
12:55:48 <sbp> not entirely sure where I should store the caches
12:56:22 <sbp> what I could do is use a purl.org & pastebin combination
12:57:17 <sbp> trouble is, I suppose I don't want the pastes to be public
12:57:26 <sbp> and I suppose if you want to serialise over time, you have to have multiple caches
12:58:26 <sbp> I hate writing services. Resources, not Services!
12:59:15 <sbp> hmm. I wonder if this is what Yahoo! Pipes is for?
12:59:37 <MacTed> sbp - blend curl/wget collection with svn/WebDAV store that automagically does version diffing ?
13:00:37 *** shoulson_ has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
13:00:45 <sbp> I'll pretend you said mercurial/git
13:00:53 <sbp> but even so, that's not very computationally inexpensive
13:01:23 <sbp> the problem is that I was rather hoping to have no moving parts on the server
13:01:28 <sbp> I guess that's impossible though
13:01:43 <sbp> hmm. perhaps I could use github?
13:01:58 <sbp> ...hmm
13:02:02 <sbp> actually that's not a bad idea
13:02:08 <MacTed> the nature of "server" being "service" rather suggests it's going to have moving parts...
13:02:26 <sbp> well, by moving parts I mean "no disc access"
13:02:37 <sbp> imagine it as a Google Webapp
13:03:36 <sbp> in fact, I probably should use Google App Engine
13:03:40 <MacTed> to compare "now" to "then" you have to access both copies ... which means either disc or RAM access of the "then" cache to compare against the "now" retrieve (and the "now" must replace or be added to the "then")
13:03:55 <sbp> yes, but I was hoping to use an external service for the disc
13:04:07 <sbp> and github might fit the bill nicely
13:04:07 <MacTed> Web Archive?
13:04:18 <sbp> Web Archive is a valiant suggestion, but...
13:04:29 <sbp> the upload process is really tricky
13:04:35 <sbp> I did find a command line upload tool for it once
13:04:47 <sbp> but it was so complex and arcane and anyway broken that I didn't get very far with it
13:05:04 <sbp> and anyway, I kinda want the cached versions to be temporary
13:05:11 <sbp> or, better yet, private

15:17:11 <nsh> THERE'S NO UNICODE CROWN!?!? WHAT IS THE POINT?!?
15:22:18 <sbp> I know
15:23:34 *** jeffarch has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
15:24:16 <Kahlbrenner> does anyone know if I can attach metainformation to a triple in rdflib?
15:25:59 <sbp> not as far as I know
15:26:07 <sbp> which isn't very far in this matter
15:26:16 <sbp> why would you even want to?
15:28:18 <Kahlbrenner> I need information like source and date of a specific data triple to allow some kind of versioning, e.g. data can be updated
15:28:28 <sbp> I guess I must have had a way of doing that in arcs
15:28:31 <sbp> but I dunno what it was
15:28:36 <sbp> might have been a trio facility, I dunno
15:28:44 <sbp> .g site:inamidst.com trio
15:28:45 <phenny> sbp: http://inamidst.com/sw/trio/
15:31:01 <Kahlbrenner> hm I could store multiple graphs and store metainformation on a graph seperatly.....
15:31:08 <sbp> there you go
15:31:25 <sbp> RDF APIs should have a federated Graph type
15:34:00 <clsn> nsh: consider some of the following.
15:34:05 <clsn> .u 265B
15:34:05 <sbp> Kahlbrenner: ah, arcs had a separate Library class
15:34:06 <phenny> U+265B BLACK CHESS QUEEN (♛)
15:34:11 <sbp> which was basically a federated graph
15:34:15 <clsn> .u 2655
15:34:15 <phenny> U+2655 WHITE CHESS QUEEN (♕)
15:34:30 <Kahlbrenner> I don't know arcs
15:34:41 <sbp> http://inamidst.com/sw/arcs/
15:34:51 <clsn> & so on.
15:35:16 <Kahlbrenner> aight
15:35:51 <sbp> what's your overall use case?
15:35:59 <sbp> I could never think of any use cases for RDF
15:36:07 <sbp> well, one or two
15:37:38 <Kahlbrenner> just playing around... basically aggregate data about companies and reveal shares
