Tm_Tno response?09:43
Tm_Tbah, worked in -irc09:44
ikoniaI don't think that should be included09:45
ikoniaif it's valid information it should be put into an ubuntu wiki page that we can maintin and linked to09:45
ikoniaa lot of the factoids that link to external sites don't get maintained and cause problems in the long run, so if the advice is valid I think it should be on an ubuntu wiki page that if it changes we can maintain09:48
ikoniaplus I don't think we should be linking to external sites unless it really is the best and trusted option09:49
elkyagreed. the information belongs on a wikipage which we link to09:50
Tm_Tikonia: well, it was already linking there09:55
Tm_Tso the edit was an improvement (old link was obsolete)09:55
Tm_Tfeel free to do it right (;09:57

ubottuI'll remember that jussi10:47
jussi:)10:47
oCeanor that :)10:47
jussisee, I beleive in "!info mplayer" :) - says mostly the same thing without being needed to be updated10:48
oCeanjussi: sure but _once_ there was probably some useful no-fonts-in-mplayer-info in that factoid10:49
jussiI wonder how much trouble it would be to build some sort of dependencies into the new factoid system, so that if you delete something that another factoid references, it warns you.10:50
oCeanwe have #ubuntu users for exactly that10:50
jussipish. not reliable enough.10:50
oCeangot a point there10:51
IdleOnehahaha jussi done lost his mind10:51
IdleOneis the bot not over worked as it is10:52
tsimpsonjussi: that would be hell to implement, a factoid is just a key and a string of text10:58
tsimpsonit would require loading and searching *every* factoid and searching for the deleted factoid (and all aliases) every time a factoid is edited10:59
tsimpson^ this is not nice10:59
jussitsimpson: yes, I guess so.10:59
knometsimpson, not if the dependencies were cached on an another db table11:00
tsimpsonknome: would still add a lot of overhead11:00
tsimpsonand complexity11:00
knometsimpson, of course. but only when adding/editing :)11:00
knometsimpson, and a bit when deleting, but not really much.11:01
tsimpsonknome: patches are welcome ;)11:01
knometsimpson, haha, what's the language?11:02
tsimpsonpython + supybot11:02
knomecan't do python :P11:03
jussiincorrect. python + evilness.  :D11:03

jussino encyclopedia implementation needed11:03
jpdsstorm+11:03
jpds++*11:03
tsimpsonexcept storm doesn't really like postgresql afaik11:04
jpdstsimpson: wut.11:04
tsimpsonI remember trying it with sqlite, mysql, and postgres back ends, the postgres one just didn't want to work11:04
tsimpsonthis was a while ago though11:04
* jussi volunteers jpds to fix the postgres in stormyfacts.11:05
jpdstsimpson: Launchpad has been using postgres/storm since forever.11:05
tsimpsonwell it failed on lucid11:05
tsimpsonas I say though, I only tested it many months ago11:06
tsimpsonjpds: if you're feeling helpful, could you give storm the ability to create tables (in a non implementation dependant way)? Pleeese :)11:07
jpdstsimpson: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/684302/11:11
jpdstsimpson: Tweak __storm_table__. Do that in the first run, otherwise after that it'll return an already existing table error.11:13
tsimpsonjpds: yeah, well postgresql doesn't like CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS, though MySQL and SQLite do11:14
tsimpsonalso DATETIME vs TIMESTAMP11:14
tsimpsonand the auto increment thing, which is a little less important11:14
tsimpson(though I wasn't 100% serious in suggesting that you should go and make storm do all these things)11:15
jpdswgrant is probably a better person to ask than me.11:15
tsimpsonI doubt it's trivial to get working, or it would already be done11:15
PiciI haven't read all the scrollback, but it sounds like a good job for sqlalchemy.12:11
tsimpsonlooks similar to Storm12:15
* Pici doesn't actually know a lot about storm12:15
tsimpson"Storm is an object-relational mapper (ORM) for Python" "SQLAlchemy is the Python SQL toolkit and Object Relational Mapper"12:16
tsimpsonhttps://storm.canonical.com/ btw12:16
Myrttiblaa12:20
Picicurious, there are some things in there that are very similar to sqlalchemy.12:22
Tm_Tyou should use Qt4 instead12:22
* Tm_T hides12:22
PiciTm_T: good idea12:22
Tm_Tfew examples, http://www.blogistan.co.uk/qt/2006/02/mkbot_qt4_based_irc_bot.php and https://github.com/minirop/Bot-chan12:23
tsimpsonmkbot is deaded, bot-chan is way too simple12:32
Tm_Tyup12:32
tsimpsonbot-chan and uses non standard stuff, bad bot!12:32
Tm_Tit's just an interesting thought, using the possibilities of Qt on an irc bot12:33
tsimpsonTm_T: yes, I have been playing with that idea for a while ;)12:33
Tm_TI've been playing with that idea since I heard of mkbot first time, what, 5 years ago? (:12:34
tsimpsonit would also be quite nice if one were to be able to script such a bot in many script languages...12:34
Tm_Tshame I have no time nor patience to do anything with that thought12:34
tsimpsonincluding over DBus12:34
Tm_Ttsimpson: uh, KDE (or was it Qt too) has perl bindings, if that's what you're after12:35
tsimpsonwell, I'm not after perl12:35
Tm_TI know, I'm just still amused with the whole idea of using perl for writing some KDE/Qt app12:35
tsimpsonTm_T: I was being semi-sarcastic, because I know that KDE/Qt has lovely bindings to many languages12:36
Tm_Tircbot and qt, you gotta be a bit sarcastic to discuss it (:12:36
tsimpsonso if one were to write an IRC bot in Qt, it would remove the "sorry, I don't know <language> so can't help" excuse12:36
Tm_Tindeed12:37
PiciIts certainly an interesting idea...12:37
jpdsJust write it in Go.12:37
Tm_Tjpds: awww, no go bindings yet12:37
tsimpsonI think I prefer Eiffel over Go12:38
Tm_Tbut ye, list is rather impressive I'd say: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qt_%28framework%29#Bindings12:39
MyrttiQt is a script language :->12:39
Myrttiahem :-D12:39

Piciikonia: I guess you saw what ActionParsnip did too?18:37
ikoniayes18:37
ikonianot impressed with it18:37
Picime either.18:37
PiciBeen trying to get some work done here though, trying not to get sidetracked with IRC stuff18:38
ikoniame too, got a lot of expenses and stuff to arrange, but taking a break18:38
Piciand just looking at where this issue is going I'm glad I didn't answer.18:38
ikoniayes, I'm annoyed with myself18:39
Tm_Thmm, -ot?18:42
Tm_Tapparently no18:43
ikoniaI think we should remove alien from !rpm18:52
ikoniait's a terrible solution to recommend and it really doesn't spell out the dangers18:52
Picifine with me.18:52
ikoniacool18:52
rwwI think we should remove all mentions of alien that are not criticisms from ubottu, personally :\18:53
ikonia%99.99999 of the time it will not work and break things, I just don't feel we should push it via the bot18:53
ikoniaI'll remvoe it18:53
ikoniaremove18:53
PiciI wouldn't remove alien entirely from the bot though, just make it sound like its a bad idea.. a really bad idea.18:54
ikoniaI'd remove it from !rpm, but have !alien18:54
rww!search alien18:54
ubottuFound: alien, rpm18:54
Picisounds good18:54
rwwwfm18:54
mneptok!alien18:57
ubottuRPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported)18:57
Priceyikonia: heh... alien... hasn't everyone been saying that for yeeeeeeeeears? :)18:58
ikoniaPricey: it's just the worst thing ever18:58
ikoniaapart from the fact that symantic force you to use it as an official install method for ubuntu and netbackup18:58
Priceyhehe sorry I wasn't disagreeing with you, its just amusing how its still raging18:59
rwwas in the antivirus company?19:01
Myrttioooh19:06
Myrttiit's a PRICEY19:06

Piciwauw19:21
Piciltns19:21
ikoniarww: as in the company that now owns veritas and all it's enterprise products19:25
ikoniaPricey: sorry was away, it's not as raging as it was, but I just saw someone trying to use it in #ubuntu19:25
Jordan_UDoes the "don't take polls" policy mentioned in !best apply to #ubuntu-offtopic as well? Possibly to a lesser extent?19:33
Piciyes19:34
