[01:43] <n2diy> omegacenti: hi, normally quite here, but the more new blood the better.
[01:43] <omegacenti> n2diy: fine by me :)
[01:43] <omegacenti> I am trying to become more active in promoting liux as a viabloe solution for gamers.
[01:44] <n2diy> omegacenti: roger that. I'm hoping to get it into the public school systems around here.
[02:04] <omegacenti> You weren't kidding on quit.
[02:04] <omegacenti> quiet.
[09:08] <tsmithe> beuno, omgz that ubuntustats
[09:08] <tsmithe> it's automagic
[09:08] <tsmithe> !!
[09:09] <beuno> tsmithe: that was quick  :D
[09:09] <beuno> you like it?
[09:09] <tsmithe> i do!!
[09:09] <beuno> I'm jsut glad it finally got to a "presentable" stage
[09:09] <tsmithe> how does it do it?!
[09:09] <beuno> I have much more work planned
[09:09] <tsmithe> super!
[09:09] <beuno> tsmithe: all kinds of plugins getting information all kinds of way
[09:09] <tsmithe> plugins to what?
[09:10] <beuno> tsmithe: specific plugins in PHP or python to grab each kind of data
[09:10] <tsmithe> how does it automatically update? "ajax"?
[09:10] <beuno> tsmithe: oh, yeah
[09:10] <tsmithe> and beuno; i think having the titles being links too would be good, so one could click "The Planet" and go to the planet
[09:11] <beuno> ajax, json, all kinds of toys
[09:11] <beuno> tsmithe: that's a freat idea
[09:11] <beuno> great
[09:11] <tsmithe> :)
[09:11] <tsmithe> it's very cool
[09:12] <tsmithe> beuno, using feedparser?
[09:13] <beuno> tsmithe: Lipe_ has donde the RSS parsing bit in python, so he can probably answer that better then me  :D
[09:13] <tsmithe> Lipe_, same question
[09:13] <tsmithe> feedparser is really nice
[09:14] <beuno> tsmithe: we're going to upload the code to bzr one of these days anyway
[09:14] <tsmithe> i was looking for a branch :P
[09:14] <Lipe_> tsmithe: I have made mi own script, I had if from before and I like to kwo how everything works
[09:14] <tsmithe> Lipe_, oh but feedparser is really very fantastic :P
[09:14] <tsmithe> it's very good at error handling, date parsing, html filtering; the works :P
[09:15] <Lipe_> tsmithe: yes i heard so.
[09:15] <tsmithe> i was just wondering - i'm using it for a web project of mine
[09:15] <Lipe_> tsmithe: dates... we are having some problems with that.
[09:16] <tsmithe> hehe
[09:16] <tsmithe> feedparser does it very nicely
[09:16] <Lipe_> tsmithe: I will try it when i have some time.
[09:16] <tsmithe> it puts it into a struct_time
[09:16] <tsmithe> on which you can use the time module quite nicely :P
[09:17] <tsmithe> and it parses all kinds of dates; and why on earth am i singing its praises so much :P
[09:17] <beuno> Lipe_: sounds like a much saner way to go
[09:17] <beuno> tsmithe: I'll upload the code soonish and any suggestions will be well recieved  :D
[09:17] <Lipe_> beuno: the problem is that we are parsing 110 different feeds and we need something VERY efficient.
[09:17] <tsmithe> beuno, excellent
[09:18] <beuno> Lipe_: yeap, stress tests will tell us what's best
[09:18] <tsmithe> Lipe_, hmm. we'll see. my website will be parsing tens of thousands when it's running, so we'll see :P
[09:18] <Lipe_> :)
[09:19] <Lipe_> anyway, I will give it a look and then i tell you what i think of it. thanks for the suggestion.
[09:19] <tsmithe> :)
[09:20] <tsmithe> hmm json looks interesting
[09:22] <beuno> tsmithe: the caching part of the information was the trickiest
[09:22] <beuno> so that each page view wouldn't call teh DB
[09:22] <tsmithe> yes
[09:22] <beuno> I want it to scale massively  :D
[09:22] <tsmithe> how are you doing that?
[09:22] <tsmithe> i really would like to see your code :P
[09:22] <beuno> Lipe_: was very patient in redoing it until I was happy with it  :p
[09:23] <tsmithe> i'm interested in this kind of development; although i'm not very proficient, yet
[09:23] <beuno> tsmithe: it will be up soon, we just need to clean it a up a bit and rip out the users/passwords
[09:23] <beuno> you'll get to see it  :p
[09:23] <tsmithe> coolio
[09:26] <tsmithe> not using Apache 2, then?
[09:27] <Lipe_> hmmm... according to the headers we are not.
[09:27] <beuno> tsmithe: not on that server, no, it's a red hat also  :p
[09:27] <tsmithe> :o
