| 14:33:05 | han_solo | yawn |
| 14:48:29 | han_solo | say I wanted to get a slashdot story with just the story, nothing but the story, and nothing else. how would I do that? |
| 14:55:28 | levi_ | If you have an account, you could set your default preferences to display no comments. |
| 14:56:49 | han_solo | well I want to keep my account as-is. I could make a new account but then there's the complication of getting the script to log into the account. I wrote a small script to grab the rdf file and put it in some nice palm-friendly html, but I want to munge the links to stories so I get palm-friendly versions too. |
| 15:31:46 | han_solo | jayce^, are you a slashdot addict? |
| 15:31:58 | Jayce^ | oh yeah |
| 15:32:47 | han_solo | I want to get a palm-friendly version of article x - that is light mode, no comments and no boxes |
| 15:32:58 | han_solo | do you know the get parameters to do some/all of that? |
| 15:33:22 | han_solo | I'm getting the links from the rss file |
| 15:33:24 | Jayce^ | well, you can choose a really light mode in the options, that's palm friendly.. |
| 15:40:54 | han_solo | it's palm-friendly-er than the regular page but I would harely call it palm-friendly |
| 16:06:15 | Jayce^ | busy there HarleyPig? |
| 16:06:44 | HarleyPig | Not yet ... avoiding work at the moment. |
| 16:07:23 | Jayce^ | hehe |
| 16:07:45 | Jayce^ | well, in perl they were just discussing some locations for next year ;D trying to get it cheeaper |
| 16:08:53 | HarleyPig | Salt Lake City! |
| 16:09:13 | Jayce^ | bwahahaha |
| 16:09:15 | HarleyPig | Utah proved itself with the Olympics! |
| 16:20:59 | han_solo | utah? |
| 16:21:04 | | rumour has it utah is the place for fun |
| 16:21:04 | han_solo | ibot, utah? |
| 16:28:30 | | i haven't a clue, han_solo |
| 16:28:30 | han_solo | ibot, salt lake city? |
| 16:41:21 | levi_ | Hmm, the place for fun? Who started that rumor? |
| 16:42:04 | Jayce^ | some liar |
| 16:42:47 | han_solo | let's see - my computer is in utah, my computer is fun, so utah must be the place for fun, eh? But I didn't start the rumor |
| 17:20:56 | dudle | hi all |
| 17:21:25 | dudle | this is the BYU IRC channel right? |
| 17:21:45 | han_solo | well, some of us are at BYU |
| 17:21:46 | han_solo | yes |
| 17:21:56 | dudle | han_solo : thank you |
| 17:22:00 | han_solo | but there are people from all over utah and who have ties to utah but live elsewhere |
| 17:22:12 | dudle | I am a member of the Flux, Florida Linux User Exchange |
| 17:22:13 | han_solo | and then there's ibot... |
| 17:22:25 | dudle | we are in the process of redoing our website |
| 17:22:50 | dudle | we have been looking around and found yours at http://uug.clubs.byu.edu/ |
| 17:22:56 | dudle | We love it |
| 17:23:11 | han_solo | yes, the webmaster has done a bangup job |
| 17:23:24 | dudle | is there any way we can get the code that is powering your web site? |
| 17:23:36 | dudle | we would of course give credit where credit is due |
| 17:23:46 | dudle | and we could use it to change ours |
| 17:24:05 | dudle | it does everything a LUG's website would want to do |
| 17:25:12 | dudle | anybody? |
| 17:25:40 | Bradipo | I can't speak for them... |
| 17:25:44 | han_solo | dudle, try contacting Dave Smith (the webmaster) directly: http://uug.clubs.byu.edu/members.php?view_profile=6 |
| 17:25:45 | Bradipo | But I don't see why you couldn't use it. |
| 17:26:08 | dudle | han_solo : thank you very much |
| 17:26:39 | han_solo | bradipo, that is if he could see the source. :) |
| 17:27:47 | dudle | thanks for the help |
| 17:27:49 | dudle | later |
| 17:50:08 | fugalh | anyone here know why xchat gives me "USER: Not enough parameters" when I try to log on? tirc works fine |
| 17:50:30 | Bradipo | That's odd. |
| 17:50:34 | Bradipo | I'm using xchat right now. |
| 17:50:39 | Jayce^ | ditto |
| 17:50:47 | Bradipo | Different version probably---bug maybe? |
| 17:50:50 | fugalh | well, xchat works great at work, but not at home (resnet) |
| 17:50:51 | Jayce^ | missing settings? run through your parameters? |
| 17:51:10 | Bradipo | Maybe there's some kind of transparent proxy in place. |
| 17:51:23 | Bradipo | Or, maybe IDENT is being blocked... |
| 17:51:29 | Bradipo | But if you can use other clients... |
| 17:51:34 | fugalh | that's what I wondered, but I haven't set any options for tirc to use a proxy |
| 17:51:41 | fugalh | --- Connected. Now logging in.. |
| 17:51:41 | fugalh | --- AUTH :*** Looking up your hostname... |
| 17:51:41 | fugalh | --- AUTH :*** Checking ident |
| 17:51:41 | fugalh | --- AUTH :*** Couldn't look up your hostname |
| 17:51:42 | fugalh | --- AUTH :*** Got ident response |
| 17:51:42 | fugalh | --- USER :Not enough parameters |
| 17:52:11 | Jayce^ | ahh.. so it's ident, not xchat necessarily |
| 17:52:39 | fugalh | tirc has the same lines, except the user line - then logs me in. |
| 17:53:07 | Bradipo | Actually, I just logged in again and I didn't see any USER line. |
| 17:53:40 | Bradipo | Is your xchat client sending the /USER command when it connects? |
| 17:55:02 | fugalh | it must be... I'm deleting my .xchat directory and we'll see what happens |
| 17:55:08 | Bradipo | Good idea. |
| 17:55:52 | han_solo | very weird |
| 17:56:00 | han_solo | now I'll never know why it didn't work. oh well |
| 17:56:09 | Bradipo | My guess is a misconfiguration. |
| 17:56:29 | Bradipo | But who knows where. |
| 20:11:14 | Bradipo | Anyone here have any Oracle 9ias experience? |
| 20:12:29 | Jayce^ | nope |
| 20:13:57 | han_solo | nein |
| 21:10:29 | han_solo | what's the term for (a union b) minus (a intersect b) ? |
| 22:53:47 | BZFlag | that would be (a xor b) ;-) |
