[09:43] Morning. [09:44] morning JonathanD [09:44] Hi rmg51 [09:44] o/ [10:07] morning, regulars [10:22] Hey InHisName [10:22] Howdy to you, JonathanD [10:22] How are ya? [10:23] Got over one real NASTY cold, now kids have another one. Trying to avoid catching it. [10:23] Awesome :P [10:23] You guys stay over there, k? [12:12] morning === Joe_CoT is now known as relationships === relationships is now known as Joe_CoT [16:10] anyone here can feel free to purchase me reddit gold [16:10] thanks [16:30] I think i might retake my sat's [16:31] i only took them one and I could probably do better than a 1800 [16:31] i didn't study up at all or take a class so i might [16:40] What's the max these days? 2400? [17:11] no idea [17:12] I was busy playing mario kart all day before, only rememberd by chance i signed up. [17:12] 81st percentile [17:17] You have no idea what the max SAT score is? Seriously? [17:17] this was all common knowledge back in the day at my high school [17:22] 1600 ftw [17:22] max ^ [17:22] indeed [17:24] did they add a new section? [17:24] is that why waltman guessed the 2400 [17:25] i think even my kids were out of 1600 [17:25] yeah, pretty sure [17:25] it's 2400 now [17:26] with the writing element [17:26] <-- old i guess [17:26] which nobody cares about... [17:26] wow, writing is an essay? [17:26] i need ya'lls help [17:26] i need to parse some variables from a text file, that aren't going to be super stanard [17:26] I was trying to use sed to to do it [17:27] find the text starting with |varname= and ending with another | but I can't seem to get it to work with a multi line approach. [17:27] pleia2: and they are terrible. My daughter would share some stuff with me when she was student teaching and grading essays. OMG [17:27] haha [17:27] MutantTurkey: a wise man would follow a perl one-line champion on twitter [17:28] I guess they have to hire a whole fleet of graders now, used to just put the little dotted papers through machines [17:28] jedijf: did you see the IAMA about the guy working at the olnine university? [17:28] that was scary... [17:28] pleia2: partially essay, a few other quetsions [17:28] it's ridiculous because you get 25 minutes to write a 5 paragraph essay. [17:28] I can't do that. [17:29] I need to actually _think_ about what i am writing about, not just writing complete bull crap [17:30] jedijf: really i have no idea about perl [17:32] :[ === Joe_CoT is now known as Joe_Delirious === pangolin is now known as quantal === quantal is now known as pangolin === Joe_Delirious is now known as Joe_CoT [19:58] any xquery exparts? [19:58] I hate it [20:09] MutantTurkey: I think if your solution to parsing a text file is sed, you're going to end up with two problems instead of one. [20:11] MobileTurkey: perl's regexes can match on multi-line strings [20:11] waltman: I found a saner solution though :-) [20:11] luckily [20:11] now I am having some trouble getting an xquery thing down [20:11] saner than using perl! nonsense! [20:12] wait, are these variables inside xml? [20:17] waltman: no they are not. [20:17] but this is a seperate but related thing [20:17] they are data within xml using a different variable declaration type [20:17] but I solved the problem [20:17] _that_ [23:04] Hello all [23:04] * EvilResistance yawns, then throws an [ACK] packet in response to the hello at biobunsai [23:05] Oh sorry, didn't know this was the quiet room:) [23:06] not really, i'm just being annoying today [23:06] :P [23:07] well:) we gotta keep ourselves entertained some how withthis rain.. unless you over in the western side and you got snow [23:07] * EvilResistance points at C++ coding and the warm 74 degrees F that his heat provides :P [23:09] so you do visaul c or more old school? like c turbo? [23:09] GNU C++ [23:09] is that for linux? :) [23:10] and windows, the code i use can work on either windows' c++ or linux/unix/mac GNU C++ [23:10] pro warn I am semi new to the linix boxes .. I ran one like 7 years ago.. but things have changed LOL [23:10] (the dynamics of the code are almost the same, but the libraries are sometimes different) [23:11] So you ready to vote tomorrow? [23:12] Or is this a sole only linix channel and no basic chat allowed? [23:18] biobunsai: we actually only talk about food in here. [23:18] All that "linux" and "computer" stuff is off-topic :) [23:19] Oh, we if you take spagetii noodle and boil them in chicken cubes,, you cna make a mean lo mein:) [23:19] Sounds good. [23:19] biobunsai: we aren't super-topical. General conversation is ok, keep it family friendly in accordance with ubuntu CoC [23:19] etc [23:20] wel my life isn't so exciting that I would go off the family friendly area... [23:21] heh :) [23:21] I was here yesterday and got some tips for my sound issues, but now I got a whistling in the back ground.. but I guess baby steps along the way:)
