16:24.10EulaliaOse, and I quote from Kitsufox,
16:24.12Eulalia"The person who fiddled with our layout and didn't use any sense when choosing the arrangement of boxes?"
16:24.20EulaliaShe didn't like you fixing the mainppagee.
16:24.22Eulalia*mainpage
16:25.12Oseon warriorcats?
16:25.57EulaliaYeah
16:26.01EulaliaShe's crazy
16:26.10EulaliaBut I didn't say anythign to you, right?
16:26.20Eulalia*anything

16:27.13Eulalianervously pokes Ose
16:27.25Oseokay okay
16:27.55OseI did state in the edit summary that I was only trying to fix the width issue, and that I had no idea what to do with the ordering :P

17:24.18EulaliaSignpostMarv: :D
17:24.23EulaliaLong time no see :p
17:24.45SignpostMarvhi :P
17:24.57EulaliaHow dare you have a life?
17:29.37SignpostMarvlol
17:29.59SignpostMarvis currently preparing to recompile PHP
17:30.45EulaliaI'm learning C++ :p
17:31.03SignpostMarvwhy C++ ?
17:31.09EulaliaBecause I can :|
17:31.16EulaliaI dunno, really :p
17:31.35SignpostMarvhrm
17:31.41SignpostMarvwell, the Second Life viewer is written in C++
17:31.59SignpostMarvand i have been looking for someone who can understand C++ so I can reverse engineer portions of it to PHP :-P
17:32.03Eulaliaheh
17:32.14EulaliaWait a few weeks, and I may be able to help you ;)
17:32.18SignpostMarvhehe
17:32.39SignpostMarvif you're looking for a project to do,
17:32.49SignpostMarvyou could always write a desktop app interface to my Spore map API :-P
17:33.50SignpostMarvin addition to the required UI elements, you'd need to work with an SVG parser and a PNG/JPEG generator
17:35.10Eulaliahmm
17:35.28EulaliaYou realize the best I can do atm is make a simple variable, right?
17:35.29Eulalia:p
17:35.36EulaliaI made a script,
17:35.41Eulaliathat when you enter your age,
17:35.51Eulaliait tells you if you're "really old" or "really young",
17:35.56Eulaliaand my mom entered her age,
17:35.57SignpostMarvlol
17:36.01Eulaliaand out of NOWHERE,
17:36.10Eulaliait said "you are REALLY old".
17:36.14SignpostMarvlol
17:36.21Eulalia>_>
17:36.28SignpostMarvdo you have any projects to aim towards for helping you learn the language ?
17:36.44EulaliaNot really...Haven't thought of anything yet.
17:36.48EulaliaKnow of anythign easy?
17:37.00Eulalia(I've been learning the language for about an hour now)
17:37.03SignpostMarvwell a Spore map API app would be cool :-P
17:37.07SignpostMarvcould do it in stages
17:37.28SignpostMarvwrite a script that downloads an arbitrary file off the net
17:38.38SignpostMarvthen find an SVG parser (or pass an SVG DTD to an XML parser), download a simple SVG file, validate it, and save to disk
17:39.05SignpostMarvthen figure out how to convert the downloaded SVG to PNG/JPEG
17:39.08Eulalia...
17:39.13Eulaliawtf?
17:39.16EulaliaI said EASY.
17:39.16SignpostMarvlol :-P
17:39.18Eulalia>_>
17:39.19SignpostMarvokay
17:39.21Eulaliaheh
17:39.32SignpostMarvjust try downloading the spore wiki main page
17:39.35SignpostMarvwith a C script
17:39.38SignpostMarvC++, rather
17:39.51Eulaliakk, i'll try
17:40.07SignpostMarvthings you'd need to put in:
17:40.28SignpostMarv1) ability to toggle gzip/deflate compression on and off
17:41.08SignpostMarv2) error detection. except when a "debug mode" is enabled, the file should only be saved on "HTTP/1.1 200 OK"
17:41.39SignpostMarvare you doing CLI or GUI ?
17:42.50EulaliaCLI, methinks
17:44.16SignpostMarvthen your compression flag would either be a case of "--gzip", "--deflate", or "--compression foo"- where foo is either gzip or deflate, and a fatal error on anything else, though you could use gzip as a default option if --compression is present, but no extra variable
17:44.35SignpostMarvyou could make your test prog even more basic by playing around with default variables
17:45.41SignpostMarve.g. have a script called "default-variable-test" echo the output

21:02.43Osewe missed him :P
21:03.17EulaliaNah,
21:03.25EulaliaHe wants me to make him something in C++
21:03.31EulaliaAnd I have no idea how to :\
21:03.38EulaliaI said "Tell me something easy to make"
21:03.44EulaliaThen he used all these big words,
21:03.52Eulaliaand confused the sh*t outta me,
21:04.01Eulaliaand so I have no idea what he wanted.
