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