[00:34] ibeardslee: I can assure HP that I won't [00:34] but I doubt I'd buy it at all [00:37] snail: xxd is good for a quick peer from the command line [00:37] or if it's mostly text with a few control characters: cat -vet [00:38] which still has to be my favourite option combination [01:26] I never knew about those, but likely 'coz I've never needed them [01:26] lucky you [01:26] it seems -e and -t imply -v (but that would screw up your option combination) [01:26] :) [01:27] yes, it is slightly redundant [01:28] but definitely easier to remember === hads_ is now known as hads [05:28] ibeardslee: When was your birthday? [12:06] 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 [13:18] if you have questions about the project or the translation please go to http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=openteacher [19:47] mōrena koutou [19:49] 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] it wasn't meant to be spam, more like asking for help [19:50] but if you want openteacher.org has good information about it [19:52] DoeNietWil: are you involved in openteacher? [19:52] only helping them i'm not a dev myself [19:53] DoeNietWil: does it support TEI / freedict? [19:54] morning [19:54] it could easily if you file a blueprint [19:55] hads: Monday last week [19:55] the devs are very open to the needs of people [20:18] DoeNietWil: the devs have some interesting attitudes. i wish them luck. [20:18] you mean they are rude? [20:20] DoeNietWil: in the geek world rudeness is unfortunately too common to count as interesting [20:20] i think they really don't mean to be rude, maybe because of the language gaps there is some sort of miscommunication? [20:22] 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 [20:26] snail could you explain me what went wrong? [20:28] 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. [20:30] from what i read from the logs it seems as if you miscommunicated [20:34] morning [20:34] 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] snail [20:36] DoeNietWil: they weren't rude to me... [20:37] then what is this attitude you speak off? [20:43] DoeNietWil: I think my last comment says all that needs be said [20:46] well, you could always make a blueprint, they have multiple devs and chances are others WILL see the importance [20:50] that was interesting [20:51] * ibeardslee is a fraction disappointed, was wondering if I would hear snail explode from here [20:51] it seems like we only got half the conversation though [20:53] 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] the appear to have no idea how dictionaries or linguistics might relate to this [20:54] or that it might have been done before [20:55] in their favour, they were polite and helpful and not obviously Norwegian mass-murderers [20:55] i shouldn't have said that [21:12] I'm hoping that fairfax's current issues aren't related to anyone we know? [21:13] morning [21:14] not that I am aware of [21:16] a bit embarassing for a newspaper [21:28] morning
