ojwb | ibeardslee: I can assure HP that I won't | 00:34 |
---|---|---|
ojwb | but I doubt I'd buy it at all | 00:34 |
ojwb | snail: xxd is good for a quick peer from the command line | 00:37 |
ojwb | or if it's mostly text with a few control characters: cat -vet | 00:37 |
ojwb | which still has to be my favourite option combination | 00:38 |
chilts | I never knew about those, but likely 'coz I've never needed them | 01:26 |
ojwb | lucky you | 01:26 |
chilts | it seems -e and -t imply -v (but that would screw up your option combination) | 01:26 |
chilts | :) | 01:26 |
ojwb | yes, it is slightly redundant | 01:27 |
chilts | but definitely easier to remember | 01:28 |

DoeNietWil | Hello Ubuntu user, I came to this irc to ask you a question. We are trying to release a new version of OpenTeacher, and because it is a tool that is very language specific I was wondering if any of you would like to take a couple of minutes and translate it. It really isn't that much work but it would help us a lot. https://translations.launchpad.net/openteacher | 12:06 |
DoeNietWil | if you have questions about the project or the translation please go to http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=openteacher | 13:18 |
snail | mÅrena koutou | 19:47 |
snail | DoeNietWil: can i suggest that when you SPAM you use a url that takes us to a page that actually says what the project does? because that url certainly doesn't! | 19:49 |
DoeNietWil | it wasn't meant to be spam, more like asking for help | 19:49 |
DoeNietWil | but if you want openteacher.org has good information about it | 19:50 |
snail | DoeNietWil: are you involved in openteacher? | 19:52 |
DoeNietWil | only helping them i'm not a dev myself | 19:52 |
snail | DoeNietWil: does it support TEI / freedict? | 19:53 |
ibeardslee | morning | 19:54 |
DoeNietWil | it could easily if you file a blueprint | 19:54 |
ibeardslee | hads: Monday last week | 19:55 |
DoeNietWil | the devs are very open to the needs of people | 19:55 |
snail | DoeNietWil: the devs have some interesting attitudes. i wish them luck. | 20:18 |
DoeNietWil | you mean they are rude? | 20:18 |
snail | DoeNietWil: in the geek world rudeness is unfortunately too common to count as interesting | 20:20 |
DoeNietWil | i think they really don't mean to be rude, maybe because of the language gaps there is some sort of miscommunication? | 20:20 |
DoeNietWil | I've experienced that they were infact very kind people to me, i first thought it was a dictionary but they later explained why it wasn't | 20:22 |
DoeNietWil | snail could you explain me what went wrong? | 20:26 |
snail | DoeNietWil: I'm not going to engage in he-said she-said, since that's unlikely to be constructive; i was a little surprised that you weren't in the channel though, given that you're promoting it. | 20:28 |
DoeNietWil | from what i read from the logs it seems as if you miscommunicated | 20:30 |
ajmitch | morning | 20:34 |
DoeNietWil | i suggest you read it slowly and try to understand what they mean, i see no way that they have an intention to be rude to you | 20:34 |
DoeNietWil | snail | 20:34 |
snail | DoeNietWil: they weren't rude to me... | 20:36 |
DoeNietWil | then what is this attitude you speak off? | 20:37 |
snail | DoeNietWil: I think my last comment says all that needs be said | 20:43 |
DoeNietWil | well, you could always make a blueprint, they have multiple devs and chances are others WILL see the importance | 20:46 |
ajmitch | that was interesting | 20:50 |
* ibeardslee is a fraction disappointed, was wondering if I would hear snail explode from here | 20:51 | |
ajmitch | it seems like we only got half the conversation though | 20:51 |
snail | my best guess is that a handful of school kids working on a software project. their use case appears to be 'learn the numbers from 1 to 10 in any language.' | 20:53 |
snail | the appear to have no idea how dictionaries or linguistics might relate to this | 20:53 |
snail | or that it might have been done before | 20:54 |
snail | in their favour, they were polite and helpful and not obviously Norwegian mass-murderers | 20:55 |
snail | i shouldn't have said that | 20:55 |
snail | I'm hoping that fairfax's current issues aren't related to anyone we know? | 21:12 |
chilts | morning | 21:13 |
ibeardslee | not that I am aware of | 21:14 |
ajmitch | a bit embarassing for a newspaper | 21:16 |
thumper | morning | 21:28 |
