edd: ok, so now i love scriborg too, i want:
edd: * permalinks switching on
edd: * an augmented RSS1.0 that foafbot can crunch
edd: (I can supply XSLT for the latter)
blech_: doesn't chump not do 'true' permalinks?
blech_: Hmm, might be a nice challenge, actually. Per-item pages.
blech_: We need archives first... :)
edd: I don't see what's more permanent about having a page to themselves :)
blech_: fair point.
* dajobe notes again how much scribot.com fonts sucks
hitherto: depends very much on your platform. the font is Palatino
hitherto: some platforms have non-truetype palatino, with no hinting
hitherto: hinted, it looks quite nice
hitherto: although I think scriborg is nicer :P
zool: <edd> it's cos it's a type 1 font under linux/X
blech_: Jerakeen worked about this by removing Palatino
blech_: on the grounds 'if it sucks, why have it around', I think
blech_: if he can find a Linux/X alternative to put first that won't be found on Macs and Windows (where Palatino seems nice enough) I'll add it.
blech_: otherwise, I can't imagine changing it, probably.
blech_: but then I'm annoying like that sometimes.
blech_: acme would probably say 'use the SOAP interface'
edd: i prefer the challenge of setting up fonts right. i more or less have a pretty beautifully fonted X11, barring Palatino :)
blech: direct addressing
blech: notices
hitherto: deletion of accidental items
hex: but only your own ones
blech: wouldn't that go away if we insisted on direct addressing?
blech: also, direct addressing for finding out what's in an item (IE s: should work in /msg)
blech: perhaps corrections in /msg too, but I'm not so sure about that one
blech: just brainfarting really before we forget
zool: also message confirmation not /notice but just /msg user imo, in busy channel it really starts to stick out / create noise
blech: zool: that's S2, but I truncated the meaning out if it
blech: oh, no it's not. doh.
zool: sorry blech
blech: added item should be standard utterance to channel, added comment /msg to adder, right?
blech: of course none of the #london.pm people feeding this one actually write Python yet...
hitherto: feh, how hard can it be?...
hitherto: <insert sound of gun discharging into own foot>
hex: who needs the channel? we can just talk to each other on scriborg
hex: Didn't mean to chump this. Oh well :)
hex: A wiki for gathering links of interest to the #bots community and maybe creating useful connections
zool: has amazon api fiddlings in it
zool: knowhere frontend is materially unchanged since 1996 :)
blech: RIP black boxes get switched on in August, apparently
amazon details if anyone want them
zool: bots@frot.org / bollocks
zool: Your developer's token is: DWOWVH5WO427L
amazon's soap/xml web services (from mattb)
blech: 'Lite' or 'Heavy' XML, via SOAP or XML over HTTP
blech: Amazon++
blech: Amazon Light
blech: first app to use it? Anyway, looks nifty.
blech: Patrick Keiller's odd expedition around England
blech: follows London
blech: A film essay on London
blech: shamelessly running with a ball from pants.heddley.com
blech: Google Images turns up a lot of results
blech: there's also a book of stills
blech: La Jetee book
blech: looks out of stock, sadly
blech: anyway, go see the film, it's good.
zool: has no usb, which is less nice that openbrick
zool: is very low / variable power which might be nicer than openbrick
blech: I think he was meant to be demoing this at Xcom2002
hitherto: Warning: weird page design means fricking hard to read
blech: don't know if he did in the end
blech: might go away in future, as it was a misblog in the first place...
blech: final resting place, hopefully
blech: Of course this messes up my nice clean top level a bit, but hitherto reckoned high was good.
hitherto: The Media Guardian Briefing is particularly good - fascinating patterns of stories across different papers
edd: Ah cool. We used to do something like this at PA called "What the papers say". I remember writing a Perl script to chop it all up into separate pages, inserting the right masthead.
edd: The file ran every morning sometime after midnight, and often the sub got the formatting wrong, so I'd get a call at 6am or so from the morning shift complaining.
edd: I rather like the subject specific briefings from the Grauniad, nice.
blech: I've also heard stuff about the C4 news doing a mail briefing
blech: Aha, Channel 4 mailouts
blech: surprisingly raw design for a C4 subsite there
hitherto: unfortunate that C4 don't actually run a listserv, but expect you to mail news@channel4.com
hitherto: I never got a reply, or daily mailings out of them...
