<ajmitch> ooh, you have women?
<ajmitch> got any job openings?
dres (dres@4.18.171.42) got netsplit.
dres (dres@4.18.171.42) returned to #gnuenterprise.
<fitzix> andru: So, what do you think about Drepper's drivel?
<chillywilly> hey dres
<andru> havn't seen it yet
<andru> maybe i hsould go read it
<chillywilly> heheh
Action: chillywilly remains silent now
<fitzix> you do that... want a URI?
<chillywilly> bites his tongue
Action: ajmitch staples chillywilly's mouth shut
<chillywilly> you mean to tell me you haven;t read it yet you have an opinion of it?
<andru> yeah ok
<chillywilly> who said that!?!
Action: chillywilly looks around
<andru> what address?
<fitzix> http://news.linuxprogramming.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2001-08-16-002-06-LT
<andru> ajmitch: Party at my place. this weekend.
<andru> if your in chch
<andru> Should be really
<andru> good
<ajmitch> andru: hmm, i'll be busy all tomorrow
<andru> supposedly a couple of hundred people coming
<ajmitch> couple of hundred?
<andru> we are celbrating linux 10th birthday
<ajmitch> heh
<andru> estimate turn out of 350
<andru> we got lots of djs
<ajmitch> heh, sounds fun
<andru> and scary....
<ajmitch> but it's tomorrow, right/
<ajmitch> at treshna?
<andru> yeah
<andru> I've bubblewrapped the servers for protection
<andru> Taking the workstations out
<ajmitch> hehe
<andru> we did some linux promo work down in dundin last weekend. with a whole lot of pengiuns, linux servers etc at a microsoft sponsored event
<ajmitch> heh, cool ;)
<andru> got some good feedback from it. which was good. worth the effort. 
<fitzix> ack - you mean those systems just ran a kernel - how can you have a server with just a kernel?
<ajmitch> pity i missed it
Action: fitzix thinks that perhaps you could run everything in kernel memory using modules - but that's just stupid
<andru> GNU/linux
<chillywilly> what is this "linux" thing
<chillywilly> hehe
<fitzix> :)
<chillywilly> he anticipated my wrath
<andru> hehe . yes chilly i did
<chillywilly> oh no
<chillywilly> you were just reacting to fitzix
Action: chillywilly needs to read faster
<fitzix> the entire GNU/Linux argument is defunct... try building a Linux based system without GNU tools one day and you'll see...
<fitzix> there's also that little thing called philosophy that all these people seem to have forgotten about
<fitzix> you know, that ethics thing
<chillywilly> tehe
<fitzix> int Ethics () { if (drepper) return 0; else return 1; }
<andru> I've read dreppers comments
<ajmitch> and?
<andru> Sorry guys but i fully agree with him as i've seen this a lot in the free and open source movement
<andru> well a similar opinion
<ajmitch> fitzix, chillywilly: prepare the stake and the piles of kindling
<chillywilly> hehe
<chillywilly> already don ahead of time
<chillywilly> I knew what his response would be
<andru> hehe.
<andru> i've been preemted
<chillywilly> you had a prejudice before you read it
<chillywilly> just admit it
<chillywilly> you never likes RMS
<chillywilly> liked
<andru> you can't state my opinion like that
<chillywilly> ok then
<chillywilly> go ahead
<andru> cause your not fully aware of any emotional feelings i have
<andru> I belive software developers have rights.
<andru> And i belive in protecting those rights. just as much as the users have rights
<andru> Id be pretty pissed of if someone came and demanded I changed all my code and start telling my contributers to make design alternations
<ajmitch> it is part of the burden of being in the GNU project
<ajmitch> the project is designed to have parts that work together
<ajmitch> and if working together requires design alterations, then so be it
<andru> The beauty of the GPL is that if design alternations are needed then the code can easily be forked to carter for that new need
<andru> and if the other one proves more successful development can be cut to the old one
<chillywilly> well I write the ocde for the people not for personal gain I want to nake a difference in the world
<chillywilly> make
Nick change: ajmitch -> ajbusy
<andru> Most open source coders, but companies, and individuals. they code cause they love doing it. And they are doing so they can have a feature they want
<chillywilly> yes practicality beofre anthing else
<chillywilly> not the way I wanna live my life
<fitzix> andru: Define what rights coders should have, please...
Action: chillywilly is away: I'm busy
<fitzix> andru: Should those rights include the right to take away the rights of others?
<andru> depends on the rights
<andru> depends who owns the process
<fitzix> andru: So then, if I own the process, I have the right to take away rights?
<andru> if you own the process. if you write the code. then you as the coder can  license it how you want. if people dont use your code cause of a licence. so be it
Action: chillywilly is back (gone 00:02:31)
<fitzix> andru: That sounds like another industry that once supported the world economy
<fitzix> andru: In fact, you just described it to a T
<andru> fitzix: drepper didn't want the rights to be taken away. he wanted its licence to stay the same
<fitzix> andru: Take a guess what that system was
<andru> dont know
<fitzix> andru: Drepper's a whiny little bitch because he took control of a project half-way through and got replaced by a Steering Committee - end of story
<fitzix> andru: Slavery
<fitzix> andru: there is NO ethical economic incentive to allow the negation of rights - it's a trick question
<andru> there is long term.
<fitzix> andru: Yeah, and slavery was very efficient, should we reinstate it?
<fitzix> andru: A LOT of people got very rich off of owning slaves, what's so wrong with that?
<andru> no it is not effective.
<andru> If those people worked as workers, then there income would be included in GDP.
<fitzix> andru: Sure it is... it powered many countries economies for CENTURIES...
<andru> as slaves it was not
<andru> So the GDP was mis represeneted.
<andru> So if they were not slaves, GDP would be higher as there expenditure and incomes would be higher
<andru> To abolish slavery = higher GDP.
<fitzix> andru: Yes, but that's numeric imagery - you're playing with statistics.  
<andru> No i'm not.
<fitzix> andru: Was it more or less efficient for slave owners? 
<andru> More efficent for slave owners, but less efficent for entire econmy
<fitzix> andru: Let me ask you the question this way:  Is it beneficial for slave owners to be able to own slaves?
<chillywilly> so then we should free them because they would help the economy
<fitzix> andru: Do they make more profit owning slaves?
<andru> and slave owners only made a very very minor part of ecnomy
<chillywilly> not because slavery is wrong
<chillywilly> andru: that's a sick view of it
<andru> fitzix: your not understaind the economics of this. If a sub part of economy makes money but a large potiental income is lost it isn;'t good
<andru> it means the total income of the country is lower than what it could be
<andru> hence worst for economy
<andru> thereforce slavery is bad for economy
<fitzix> andru: I realize that it isn't good - but economy only works like that in our system... think sociologically, the rest is just statistics
<fitzix> andru: However, make that argument in 1850's United States and see where it gets you
<fitzix> andru: The argument is moot anyway, I'm not advocating slavery at all - and that's the point...
<andru> That was before that scott by the name of adman came along.
<andru> little understanding of economics was present in 1850
<chillywilly> I don't think the reason slavery has been aboished in countries in the world is for economic reason anyway
<andru> British understood how damaging slavey was for econemy. it was one of the main reasons of the american war of independece
<andru> the south was banned from having slaves.
<fitzix> andru: That's irrelivent - we have little understanding of economics now as well...
<fitzix> andru: Given this - how can you still argue for a system of slavery?  A system which allows others to take away the rights of the people?
<andru> You are missing the point. Stallman is trying to remove the rights of people
<andru> Hence I was against him doing that
<fitzix> andru: How?
<fitzix> andru: Stallman is making suggestions based on GNU's policies - if you don't like it, fork the code and leave GNU
<andru> If you are a coder and stalemen demands you make changes to your code, then by defination, he is infringing on your rights as you wrote the code
<fitzix> andru: I know how the system works, I'm in it on a daily basis
<fitzix> andru: You don't have to listen to stallman about code changes...
<fitzix> andru: The glibc Steering Committee made a political choice (license change)... and they made it based on the compromised system
<fitzix> andru: No one was "forced" to do anything here
<fitzix> andru: In fact,  Stallman doesn't recommend code changes - he basically sticks to the political recommendations
<andru> forced is a matter of interpretiation and physical strength. 
<fitzix> andru: How was he forced?
<fitzix> interpret this for me
<andru> I made a statemnet not a assertion
<fitzix> yes, apply it to the matter at hand, please
<fitzix> How was Stallman taking away someone's rights? (Keep in mind that Drepper didn't found the glibc project)
<fitzix> particularly, when Stallman wasn't the one who ultimately made the decision, the Steering Committee did - and Drepper was part of that Committee
<fitzix> I know how SC's work - I'm part of one
Nick change: ajbusy -> ajmitch
<andru> Drepper feels his rights are been taking away.  A licence change was forced on glibc.  Infact the SG in essence takes rights away from glibc developers as it takes away there right for unhinded free descion making
<andru> Its jsut because we belive in different things fitzix
<andru> I belive in adaptive economic rules.
<andru> I belive things will evolve as they should without having to interfer with them to make it happen
<fitzix> andru: I, too, believe in adaptive economic rules - I don't believe in chaos
<fitzix> andru: I believe that leaving greedy people to do whatever they want will produce stratification and oppression
<fitzix> andru: My view is supported by history
<andru> i don't
<fitzix> andru: Then how do you define the current state of humanity?
<andru> misplaced
<fitzix> andru: Btw, you just said that greedy people will not be greedy if left to be greedy, you do realise that, right?
<andru> hehhe :)
<fitzix> andru: Drepper didn't found the glibc - the glibc is not "his"...
<fitzix> andru: and all projects (even OSS projects) gravitate leaders to their head to make decisions...
<andru> Yes
<andru> And I belive those leaders have the rights to make there own descions
<fitzix> andru: This means that this applies to ALL software projects, not simply glibc...
<fitzix> andru: So, how does a Steering Committee take away the rights of the people when it's far more likely to actually represent a bigger segment of the community?
<andru> SC is not leadership
StormBringer (Eugene@194.84.60.1) left irc: Leaving
<fitzix> andru: I disagree
<fitzix> andru: Being a member of a Steering Committee - I lead with others alongside
<andru> it can be leadership. but often it isn't.  esp in goverments
<andru> what are you SC for>
<andru> ?
<fitzix> andru: Governments are corrupt for other reasons... there will always be multiple leaders
<fitzix> andru: DotGNU
<andru> sweet
<fitzix> :)
<fitzix> yeah - it's a lot of work.. heh
<fitzix> but, I have an interesting front-row view on all of this
<andru> I use to be in a committee.. arr lots of work
<fitzix> andru: Don't get me wrong - your arguments are very good, I'm just an incesent arguer - I find this quite enjoyable
<andru> hehehe.
<andru> yes
<fitzix> andru: Yes it is... but it's worth it
<fitzix> andru: However, to take something from someone, they have to have had it at some point - what right did Drepper have to the leadership position in glibc?
<fitzix> andru: Where's Drepper's legitimacy?
<andru> There are many forms of power.
<andru> and leadership.
<andru> and where it is born.
<fitzix> yes there are
<fitzix> andru: I disagree
<andru> Dreppers leadership comes from his hard work and resepect from other developers. If contributues see him as the leader then he is, yes the leader.
<andru> Leadership roles change
<andru> and leaders in a project change.
<fitzix> andru: I walk into a major corporation with 200 lbs of plastique strapped to me and blow the building up - who had more power, me or the leader?
<andru> I've seen this a lot, espesicallyt with large projects inside my company
<fitzix> andru: Yes, and the developers are supporting the Steering Committee now...
<andru> The project may have 3 or 4 leaders during hte life of the project.  
<andru> And this can be anyone.
<andru> Often people who were leader can find they are doing minor insignificant work
<andru>  I can be tell someone what to do one day and the next been told to do minor insiginifican work from another person the next day.
<andru> the leadership role evoles, moves and is completely dynmic. As envoirment changes different leadership abiliteis change with that
<fitzix> andru: Also, being leader doesn't mean you have the right to dictate rights - it just means that you have the role of leader at the moment... proprietary rights ownership is another issue
<andru> IF you dictate rightts you risk losing your leadership rights
<fitzix> Only if you fall out of mandate with the community... 
<andru> like yesterday. had a database emergence recover. A couple of us. It was some upstart 16 year old who no one thought could solve it solved it and took over the owneship and leadership.
<fitzix> however, if the community doesn't see that they're being stripped of their rights and give up on a leader who wishes to ensure their rights (RMS) without understanding the motivations - then it's their problem...
<andru> Now he didn't cuase the problem, nor did he have any previous rights or ownership to the system
<fitzix> andru: And now that he solved the problem, does he own the system?
<andru> but he was leader cause others put him there. now if he made descions that infringe our rights. so be it
<andru> fitzix: yes . he does. until another leader fills his place when they can fill the role better
<andru> formilised positions of power only get you so far in this world. this is the free software devleopment community. we al lgot to have fun and love it. we dont want to feel like its a hassel to do this. we have to love it. enjoy it. and work with it. Code like we have neever coded before
<fitzix> andru: Sounds like a recipe for chaos to me... what rights do you have in this system?  Do you even know?
<fitzix> andru: There I agree with you - I don't want to feel like this is a hassel...
<fitzix> andru: But to get there, accept one thing - formalization happens, it's part of the cycle...
<andru> yes in some forms in may appear choas. To see from outside it can be said to be choas. as have been said before. but on the other side of the coin you an say, well this was achieved. we thought this would ahve been impossible
<fitzix> andru: Once you've accepted this - you can control the system if you choose to
<andru> formulistion is the natural depedences of systems to evole to support the current envorment.
<fitzix> andru: yes, but when has anything informal achieved anything?  (Think hard on this, it's a trick question)
<andru> Both a good and bad thing
<fitzix> andru: Agreed... but it happens... the damage of formalization is when it outlasts it's need... like a useless organ in a body
<fitzix> andru: Therefore ignoring the state of formalization is a recipe for disaster
<andru> yes i belive informal does achieve things.  Art is often informal. 
<fitzix> andru: I'm not saying that there aren't problems - I am saying that Drepper isn't representing them
<fitzix> andru: Art is an informal act within a formal system - inherently formalized (even if it's not appearent)
<andru> Let the coders deside who represents them.  If all the coders say, yes the SC is what matters. then so be it
<fitzix> andru: The color spectrum is formal...
<andru> maybe i do need more rules to the choas we live in....
<fitzix> andru: And the person to say that there is a problem should not be Drepper - he is a) a GNU maintainer which means he should be above this childish idiocy and b) not in a position to be unbiased...
<fitzix> andru: We live in a complex system - which is simply made up of many simple systems...
<andru> I think he went on too much about it.
<andru> but this all very healthy for the community
<fitzix> andru: Drepper shouldn't have placed those issues in the release notes - it's backhanded and childish...
<fitzix> andru: I disagree - the community is being misled by people with their own agendas
<andru> people can make there own descions
<fitzix> andru: I can't say much, but Drepper left A LOT out of his statements
<fitzix> andru: Yes, but when they're intentionally mislead - they can never make good decisions...

<nickr> It can't be that hard, the player is very small
<chillywilly> they have
<chillywilly> it is just not up to snuff
<chillywilly> with the latest shockwave format
<nickr> why not? :P
<ajmitch> there is a free sw flash library, i think, someone has to write a player
<ajmitch> flash5m that is

<chillywilly> that's kewl
<andru> arr you guys missed it.
<andru> its like a complete windows desktop in flash.

<andru> hehehe
<andru> only just
<chillywilly> I ain't got no shockwave plugins
<andru> I got realplayer and swf installed. 
<andru> Thats it
<andru> Course still got hte odd mix of open source licences, like apache, mozilla, etc
<chillywilly> do you have non-free in your sources.list?
<chillywilly> you do use debian right?
<chillywilly> I wann see your vrms output
<chillywilly> apt-get install vrms
<andru> yes i do have that. thats where i got mediaplayer and swf from.  Ithink?
<andru> i'll install that
<nickr> I can't find any refs to a free flash player

<chillywilly> :P
<andru> ok someones been installing software on my computer that an't mind
<andru> mine
<andru> problem with a server.
<andru> People install stuff. So theres about 15 items there
<chillywilly> you can own machnes, but you can't OWN software :P
<andru> I dont own this machine
<chillywilly> well then
<andru> I dont control what goes on it. a lot of people install stuff on it. So it gets stuff put on it like jdk, rar etc
<andru> but i dont mind
<andru> i'm awear of the lciecing agreements for almost everything in the non-free and agree with them

<Mr_You> SF?
<chillywilly> ESR is selling out

<ajmitch> SF is getting proprietary addons
<chillywilly> yep
<nickr> sourceforge?
<chillywilly> yep
<ajmitch> the core SF will be open source
<chillywilly> LinuxToday
<chillywilly> check it out
<ajmitch> still bad
<andru> its hard out there. for a lot of companies
<chillywilly> I need to pull my code off of sourceforge
<andru> I dont like sourceforge a huge amount
<Mr_You> companies have annouced slowing of software purchasing
<Mr_You> there's greatbridge.org which is postgresql home
<Mr_You> like sourceforge
<nickr> hmm.
<andru> does ODSN own freshmeat?
<chillywilly> savannah.gnu.org
<chillywilly> :P
<nickr> I think VA shoulda stuck with hardware
<andru> so do i
<nickr> selling software is a dead-end
<nickr> there'll always be a market for physical goods
<nickr> but software is ethereal and non-rare
<Mr_You> its a low margin market
<andru> they could build up a sizable revenue base. and use that to keep the support of software going. there isn't much revenue to make from sourceforge
<andru> VA was high end though. It an't low margin at the high end
<nickr> They should've pushed the service side of it more than the actual software side
<andru> It only low margin for your PC market. 
<chillywilly> they had the perfedct model
<chillywilly> sell hadrware
<chillywilly> the software they can get for nothing
<andru> yes. its a shame.
<andru> Hopefully they surive. a world without out slashdot every day?. how scary is that
<chillywilly>  they're up shit creek now, without a paddle
<andru> anyway i'm off to play some games.

<ajmitch> it is just for the trolls now
<ajmitch> i hardly use freshmeat
<chillywilly> me either
<chillywilly> freshmeat is useless to me
<nickr> I read it constantly
<nickr> its interesting to see what people release
<nickr> I'm a new release addict
<nickr> screenshots!
<ajmitch> apt-get is what i use to get software ;)
<chillywilly> hehe
<chillywilly> me too
<nickr> apt-get doesn't let me read propoganda or see screenshots
<chillywilly> if it is not in debian than it ain't worth getting
<nickr> which is what I use freshmeat for
<chillywilly> there's other places though
<ajmitch> who needs screenshots?
<chillywilly> weenies like nickr
<nickr> I need screenshots.

<chillywilly> fine then
<chillywilly> I'm stupid
<nickr> I guess you guys have a different attitude toward things

<reinhard> my understanding was
<reinhard> we make a branch and base 0.0.6 on branch as well as 0.1.0 later
<chillywilly> oh ok
<reinhard> and you hack on HEAD
<chillywilly> ok
<chillywilly> good
<chillywilly> I am reading a bit
<chillywilly> I will make it ina  few
<reinhard> well at least as now i a m sober again it still sounds sane to me
<chillywilly> heheh
<reinhard> so it must be right :)
<chillywilly> you weren't sober before?
<derek> yeah chillywilly go get some HEAD
<reinhard> not quite yesterday late :)
<chillywilly> lol
<chillywilly> can you specifically branch geas module?
<chillywilly> that's allowed right
<chillywilly> yeah nevermind
Action: chillywilly slaps himself
<reinhard> chillywilly: from my understanding geas is not a module in cvs
<chillywilly> hmmmm
<derek> * chillywilly slaps himself <-- Now you are getting the idea of HEAD
<reinhard> hey
<chillywilly> but when we tag geas it doesn't effect forms or some shit
Action: derek advises NOT slapping yourself w/ that trout ;)
<reinhard> tim ney gets director of the gnome foundation
<derek> reinhard: yip
<chillywilly> is he a good guy?
<derek> something is foul in denmark
<reinhard> he is working for the fsf :)
<chillywilly> er?
<derek> just dont know where denmark is
<chillywilly> aaaaah
<chillywilly> goodie
<derek> whether its FSF or Gnome Foundation
<reinhard> now we all may guess why this was done
<chillywilly> casue Gnome is getting too open source
<reinhard> derek: i think the original was "there's something rotten in the state of denmark"
<chillywilly> and miguel is a butt munch
<derek> san francisco is sure to be 'interesting' on this front
<derek> as the tim leaving fsf
<derek> then reappearing at gnome
<derek> is 'odd'
<reinhard> uh
<chillywilly> he left the fsf?
<reinhard> tim is no longer fsf?
<derek> miguel name calling on RMS on 'slashdot'
<derek> there is 'something' going on
<chillywilly> why did tim leave?
<derek> not to mention an obsession with dotGNU (FSF) and mono (Ximian) to rush for .net
<derek> there is some weird stuff going on
<derek> i dont know that he left
<derek> i used to talk to him regularly
<chillywilly> now you're being a conspiracy nut
<derek> he stopped responding to ten@gnu.org
<derek> i then got mail from brad that he (tim) no longer would be dealing with the 'public' and anything i used to communicate with tim on 
<derek> i woudl now use brad as the contact
<reinhard> from the press release
<derek> for lwe i went to procure computers
<chillywilly> what;s wrong with dotGNU, we have to protect ourselves you're smoking something if you think that M$ cannot extend its monopoly
<derek> they said no one knew who to talk to 
<reinhard>  Mr. Ney
<reinhard> is well known in the free software community for his past work with the
<reinhard> Free Software Foundation, where he was the managing officer, and as a
<reinhard> popular speaker and advocate.
<reinhard> this is past tense afaict
<derek> which is ODD as Tim always did it in the past
<derek> which means to me he WAS NOT there
<derek> i heard 'indirectly' so its not authorative
<chillywilly> hmmmm
<derek> that he was no longer there
<derek> i have heard many versions of why
<derek> dictating them here would be gossip
<derek> so i refuse
<derek> i planned to get the full story in SF
<derek> then yesterday this popped up out of the blue
<derek> and really suprised the crap out of me
<derek> thus
<derek> 'something is rotten in denmark'
<derek> just which denmark is to be determined
<chillywilly> why do you say denmark?
<chillywilly> is that som sorta expression
<chillywilly> that I am not getting
<derek> lines from shakespeares hamlet
<chillywilly> ohh duh
<derek> he (hamlet) returns from a trip to home (denmark) and all sorts of stuff is giong on behind the seen
<derek> er scenes
<derek> he outcrys something is rotten in denmark
<derek> later when he finds out what it is that is going on he crys
<derek> to be or not to be
<derek> as he doesnt wish to face it
<derek> hopefully free software developers wont be using that expression when tehy find what the real stench is
<chillywilly> so you think some heavy duty shit is going on with the FSF?
<derek> in a nut shell, yes something
<derek> there seems to be an apparent tiff between RMS and Miguel
<derek> over what exactly im not sure
<derek> how severe it is im not sure
<derek> and what other dynamics play into it im not sure
<chillywilly> and what of Drepper?
<derek> i think that is just part of it
<chillywilly> ohw does he play into it?
<chillywilly> ah
<chillywilly> well
<derek> miguel seems to side with him directly in communicatino i have seen
<chillywilly> on the dognu dveelopers list
<derek> and states taht similar reasons are why he does not care to associate with rms any longer
<chillywilly> miguel said he did not like RMS anymore and would not call it GNU/Linux
<chillywilly> yep
<chillywilly> this si sucked up
<chillywilly> er
<chillywilly> is fucked up
<chillywilly> Also, I    
<chillywilly> wouldn't want to maintain two separate architectures and two separate user
<chillywilly> interfaces (fat client and web client). The only thing I would enjoy less is
<chillywilly> starting the debate about which one to scrap.                   
<chillywilly> that makes no sense
<chillywilly> gfclient is thin
<Mr_You> what is that from?
<chillywilly> the discuss list
<chillywilly> some ken guy
<chillywilly> who I have no clue who he is
<Mr_You> hmm maybe I haven't gotten that email
<derek>  Ulrich is telling the truth, which is the scary thing.
<derek> I do not want to work with RMS anymore (for other, but similar reasons). I realized too late that I should have listened from other people who had been burned in the past.
<derek> I will keep writing free software and I appreciate some of RMS's comments and his early vision. But his new vision is now blurred with different objectives that I do not agree with or am sick of.
<derek> Miguel.
<derek> that is a direct quote from the 'main monkey'
<chillywilly> yip
<derek> now how he wont work with RMS yet will serve on the board is quite the trick
<chillywilly> you pull that form the dotgnut archive or slushdot?
<derek> slushdot
<chillywilly> what is his new vision?
<chillywilly> that makes no sense
<chillywilly> RMS has never waivered
<chillywilly> in his "vision"
<Mr_You> this ken guy doesn't understand that GEAS is thin-client based apps
<chillywilly> he the most consistent guy I know
<chillywilly> yeah
<chillywilly> I replied
<chillywilly> I dunno if my fd email is on the list though
<chillywilly> it may bounce
<Mr_You> the only arch. is corba, etc..

<chillywilly> I think it bounced
<Mr_You> what if you used a web server as a message passing mechanism?
<chillywilly> HTTP?
<Mr_You> yeah
<chillywilly> I guess that could be done
<chillywilly> we want to allow for a bunch of methods
<Mr_You> that would be asyncronous
<chillywilly> CORBA is not going to be the only thing
<chillywilly> it is just the first thing
<chillywilly> that was done
<Mr_You> yeah but derek or someone was mentioning asyncronous message passing
<Mr_You> HTTP can keep the connection persistent if the result is to wait..
<chillywilly> asynchronous means you do not have to wait
<chillywilly> doesn't it?
<Mr_You> oh
<chillywilly> synchronous means the reply would immediately follow
<Mr_You> ok, well it could be asynchonous also I guess.. but you could encapsulate an asynch communication via CORBA?
<chillywilly> sure
<Mr_You> would have to keep a stack of pending jobs
<Mr_You> I gotta crash

<neilt> morning all
<reinhard> morning neilt
<reinhard> Task 190: Add help file processing to parser.
<reinhard> is that still valid?
<neilt> yes
<neilt> its partially done
<neilt> but i have had second thoughts that help file processing should be in geas
<neilt> my current thoughts are that help file processing should in the sql python program i wrote to load default data into the sql database
<reinhard> yeah
<reinhard> actually i think we agreed on that
<neilt> you may be right
<neilt> i cant actually remember
<reinhard> so from my understanding no need to do something in the parser?
<neilt> will i should remove the code that is there
<neilt> so lets change the task to remove help file processing
<reinhard> i just wanted to propose that :)
<neilt> from the parser
<reinhard> you think you can do that today?
<reinhard> or is it much work?
<neilt> it will be after 8pm utc
<neilt> but i will try
<reinhard> ok cool
<reinhard> thanks
<neilt> it does not look like cw checked anything in last night?
<reinhard> no
<reinhard> i think he did not yet do the branch
<neilt> anything else? I have to go
<reinhard> no

<neilt> reinhard: you still here?
<reinhard> yes
<neilt> since we seem to not have a lot of imput for accounting
<neilt> i am going to make a push to improve the spec for accounting byt just putting in the docs what I think we need, then
<neilt> we can review and discuss, rather than discuss and then put in docs
<neilt> you ok with that
<reinhard> yes
<reinhard> it worked fine for base stuff
<reinhard> so why not for accounting
<neilt> i am going to be working more on specs, not gcd's
<reinhard> ah ok
<reinhard> ok with that, too
<neilt> i need to get a better feel for how it will all fit together before i can comment on your gcds
<neilt> so for me it will help
<neilt> reinhard: do you understand the difference between ledger and journal?
<reinhard> my understanding is that a journal is
<reinhard> a list of complete transactions
<reinhard> which are all balanced
<reinhard> and a ledger is a book where these tranactions are collected
<reinhard> and every account has a page
<neilt> ok thanks
<reinhard> for me the journal and the ledger always were more or less just two reports from the same database
<neilt> it seems there is a lot of overlap in meaning
<reinhard> journal is sorted by, say, transaction id
<reinhard> and ledger is sorted by account
<reinhard> disclaimer: this is _my_ understanding of things
<neilt> some people call journal, a specialized ledger, or sub-ledger or are these different
<reinhard> not 100% sure if it's correct
<reinhard> a specialized ledger is something different
<neilt> what is that
<reinhard> oh no i think it's called a sub-ledger
<reinhard> i don't remember specialized ledger
<reinhard> we have specialized journal 
<reinhard> and we have sub-ledger
<reinhard> neilt: what is what? subledger or specialized journal?
<neilt> what are the differences between specialized journal and sub-ledger
<reinhard> ok
<reinhard> there are kinds of transactions that occur very often
<reinhard> like getting payment from customers
<reinhard> my understanding was that "mr. lazy accountant" wanted to not have so much work
<reinhard> and he found out that for all payment from customers
<reinhard> the account on the one side is the same: the bank account
<reinhard> so he didn't even mention the bank account on the journal
<reinhard> for every transaction
<reinhard> but only for the sum
<reinhard> and wrote (imagine hand-writing accounting) only the sum of the whole list of transactions into the ledger
<reinhard> instead of the amount of every transaction
<neilt> so a ledger has both sides
<neilt> and a journal may only have one side
<reinhard> i don't think so
<reinhard> a journal always has both sides
<neilt> since we dont do hand accounting any more
<neilt> i dont see the difference
<neilt> except that the ledger is summarized
<reinhard> but a specialized journal does not show both sides for every transaction
<reinhard> neilt: the difference between?
<neilt> the difference between ledger and journal
<reinhard> the difference is in sorting
<reinhard> it's the same data basically
<neilt> so for a computer there is not difference wif i am tyring to figure out what to call a file
<neilt> or an object
<reinhard> yeah
<neilt> ok so we lose journals
<neilt> we have ledgers and sub-ledgers
<reinhard> that's why there is no ledger object in gl.gcd
<neilt> and we have transaction files
<reinhard> well we have journal as a "header" object over several transaction
<reinhard> s
<neilt> will we have to have a ledger if the module name is gl :)
<neilt> why did you use journal instead of ledger
<neilt> ?
<reinhard> just a sec
<reinhard> This is a journal:
<reinhard> -----------------------------------------------------
<reinhard> transaction    account    debit      account   credit
<reinhard> -----------------------------------------------------
<reinhard>           1       1000    50.00         2000    50.00
<reinhard>           2       1000    70.00         2010    70.00
<reinhard>           3       2000    80.00         1000    80.00
<reinhard> -----------------------------------------------------
[08:11] MSG541<reinhard> This is a ledger:
<reinhard> -----------------------------------------------------
<reinhard> transaction     debit     credit
<reinhard> -----------------------------------------------------
<reinhard> account 1000:
<reinhard>           1     50.00
<reinhard>           2     70.00
<reinhard>           3                80.00
<reinhard>       Sum       40.00
<reinhard> -----------------------------------------------------
<reinhard> account 2000:
<reinhard>           1                50.00
<reinhard>           3     80.00
<reinhard>       Sum       30.00
<reinhard> -----------------------------------------------------
<reinhard> account 2010:
<reinhard>           2                70.00
<reinhard>       Sum                  70.00
<reinhard> ------------
<reinhard> this is my understanding of things
<reinhard> using irc as a whiteboard :)
<neilt> ok
<neilt> so sales transactions -> sales Journal -> ledger (by posting)
<reinhard> from a database view
<reinhard> the journal and the ledger are redundant
<reinhard> they containt exactly the same data
<reinhard> but (from my understanding) the ledger should only show "posted" items
<reinhard> and the journal also shows unposted items
<reinhard> so my basic data source is the journal
<neilt> so the sales module creates sales transactions
<neilt> then the sales transactions can be imported into any accounting module
<reinhard> exactly
<neilt> so we need to, if accounting is installed gather sales transactions and move them into a journal
<neilt> then we post to get them into the ledger
<reinhard> i would do the interface on the transaction stage of things
<neilt> but that may be the same object, just with a flag updated
<reinhard> neilt: yes. think you got me :)
<neilt> so that way the sales module does not need to know about the account numbers
<neilt> only the transaction file has to have enough information for the accounting system to determiine the account numbers
<reinhard> i would have account numbers in the transaction file
<reinhard> because that "enough information" is not defineable
<reinhard> for example it might be the item nuber of the sold item
<reinhard> or the area of the customer
<reinhard> or the sales rep that sold it
<neilt> so all of the lookup stuff for region, or sales man or product type that has to be mapped to account number is going to be in the sales module
<neilt> ?
<reinhard> i would do that
<neilt> so we will have to install accounting for all systems
<neilt> or at least part of it
<reinhard> and simply put an account number into transaction file
<neilt> because we will need a account structure
<reinhard> i see 2 possibilities
<reinhard> 1. we don't provide account structure at all
<reinhard> in sales module you just enter the account number, and that is not checked against anything
<reinhard> this is how my current system works
<reinhard> or
<reinhard> 2. we have a base_account object like the base_item object
<reinhard> which only contains account number and text
<reinhard> for use in other modules that send data to accounting module
<neilt> i think we should provide a generic structure to break sales into 2 or 3 sub-categories
<neilt> and put these categories into the transaction file
<neilt> and let the interface or accounting system map them
<neilt> or we provide
<neilt> a mapping process in sales
<neilt> but i cant imagine letting a sales order entry person select account number as raw data
<reinhard> i think other systems have
<reinhard> item.accounting_group
<reinhard> and accounting_group.account
<reinhard> sales entry person can just select a predefined accounting_group
<reinhard> but there can be a lot of transactions fed into accounting module
<neilt> i have seen it done by manual entry, but the systems i have done recently are all geared to closing the books in 1 day and not having a bunch of accountants go thru and audit all of the transactions
<reinhard> not only invoices
<neilt> s/audit/validate/
<neilt> right and how do you set up and manage a lot of accounts if each sub system has there own look-ups and accounts
<reinhard> you will always have that problems
<reinhard> no matter _where_ you do the lookups
<neilt> this is also why we need to have labels on the forms that are in the database
<reinhard> you will have to have different lookups
<neilt> i would like to have 3 or so fields that we define the name of
<reinhard> neilt: you're running open doors wrt labels for me :)
<neilt> for sales that could be region and salesman for example
<neilt> then the appear of the sales or invoice and the clerk just selects a pull down
<neilt> then we determine the account based on those two fields
<neilt> the accuracy goes way up with this type of deisgn
<reinhard> and we have a different interface to payroll then?
<neilt> as long as the defaults are the same data then we can map them together
<neilt> that is a data entry approach as opposed to tightly linked object approach
<reinhard> payroll transactions have completely different dependencies
<neilt> right each subsystem will have its own mapping like this
<neilt> and a couple of runtime defined fields
<reinhard> yeah
<neilt> that are used
<reinhard> but then the mapping should be part of the subsystem
<reinhard> imho
<neilt> technically yes, if the sub-system can determine at runtime if GNUe accounting is installed
<neilt> then it does the map, if not then it only populates the data in the transaction
<neilt> or uses some default that is hand loaded
Action: neilt is running out of time
<reinhard> why not always do the mapping?
<reinhard> ok
<neilt> have to go
<reinhard> nevermind
<neilt> wont be back for several hours
<reinhard> think it was a good discussion
<reinhard> good
<neilt> continue this later
<reinhard> so i can lay down a bit now :)
<reinhard> yes
<neilt> i will think about always doing the ampping
<neilt> later

<jcater> hi
<anil> we need some help regarding the installation of GNUe-Forms
<anil> could you please help us?
<jcater> what problems are you having?
<anil> it is unable to detect pyXML though it is installed
<jcater> do you have multiple versions of python installed?
<anil> setup.py in GNUe-Forms is unable to detect the above
<anil> yep 
<anil> python1.5 , python2.0, python2.1
<jcater> how did you install pyxml (what command?)
<anil> I used the rpm available at sourceforge
<jcater> which rpm did you use? (For which python version?)
<anil> pyXML0.6.6-1
<jcater> PyXML-0.6.6-1.5.2.i386.rpm ?
<anil> yes
<jcater> ok, what command are you using to install gnue tools? ./setup.py ?
<anil> yes $./setup.py install
<anil> I got geas working properly,
<jcater> can you type 'python' and tell me what version it displays?
<anil> 2.1.1
<jcater> (sorry about the delays.. I'm at work :)
<jcater> ok, you installed pyxml against python 1.5.2, but are running gnue against 2.1.1
<jcater> So, we either need to install the 2.1 pyxml rpms or get gnue running against 1.5.2
<anil> but the latest version of pyxml is only 0.6.6
<jcater> ick
<jcater> there are no pyxml's for python 2.1
<jcater> try to run "python1.5 setup.py build" instead of 
<jcater> ./setup.py
<anil> ok
<jcater> I hafta run to a meeting
<anil> i am trying with the old version of pytohon
<jcater> I hope this works
<anil> thnx
<jcater> I'll be back in 45min to an hour if not

<dneighbo> calgon take me away
<dtm> dneighbo: werd
<chillywilly> werd to yo mutha
<dneighbo> sup g muny
<dneighbo> straight werd up cuz
<Mr_You> does anyone have any comments on a phpGNUe API that would have limited and extended functionality as a GNUe Forms Client?
<dneighbo> i think thats WRONG approach
<Mr_You> why?
<dneighbo> i think somethign of value going that direction
<dneighbo> would be a a native geas php driver
<dneighbo> as that woudl allow any php application to access gnue backends
<Mr_You> ok, yeah thats pretty much what I mean..
<dneighbo> ie: make geas api availabe to php
<dneighbo> in same way that postgres, mysql etc do
<Mr_You> you could build a GNUe Forms Client or something on top of that?
<dneighbo> Mr_You you could
<dneighbo> the problem is you dnot want to be rewritting forms
<dneighbo> and making php do the work of a forms client is kind of ugly
<dneighbo> i will discuss later must run away
<Mr_You> sounds good
<Mr_You> phpGEAS API ;-)
<neilt> reinhard: help file processing is removed from geas now
<neilt> just checked in
<reinhard> neilt: thanks
<neilt> reinhard: do i have any more todos before release?
<reinhard> let me look
<dtm> dneighbo: were you interested in having phpgw be a client for that stuff?
<reinhard> i think we can do 0.0.6 this weekend
<dtm> dneighbo: do you realize that phpgwapi can be embedded?
<neilt> reinhard: cool
<reinhard> the todos for the parser that are still left are
<dtm> oh derek's gone.
<reinhard> oh crap
<reinhard> sitting on this machine where copy/paste doesn't work
<neilt> let me look
<reinhard> neilt: please look at TODO file
<neilt> cvs is up-to-date right
<reinhard> i think we can live without them
<reinhard> neilt: yes
<reinhard> i think we can live without them for 0.0.6
<neilt> looks good to me
<reinhard> k
<reinhard> you know about any todo's at all before release?
<neilt> nope
<reinhard> ok i will prepare release today or tomorrow
<reinhard> s/release/escape/
<reinhard> ;)
<neilt> after it is prepared i want to test it and release to mac community
<neilt> using Fink
<neilt> a debian package thing for mac's
<reinhard> ah
<reinhard> you know those mac specific files don't go in the tarball?
<neilt> hopefully we can get a few more mac people in here
<neilt> why not
<neilt> they are text files
<reinhard> basically because nobody told them to go in the tarball :)
<neilt> actually xml i think
Action: neilt screams at the mac files "Get your butt in the tarball!"
<reinhard> lol
<neilt> see if that helps
<reinhard> if you can send me a mail with what files should go in tar.gz
<reinhard> i can add
<reinhard> if it makes sense
<neilt> all files in geas/src/mac
<neilt> and all files in geas/tools/mac
<reinhard> ntiffin.pbxuser?
<neilt> yes
<neilt> reinhard: i am not sure it is really needed or not, but it does not hurt
<reinhard> i have no src/mac
<reinhard> wait a sec
<reinhard> ok now i have one :)
<neilt> :)
jamest (jamest@hobbes.math.ksu.edu) left irc: [x]chat
<reinhard> yep should work
<neilt> cool, thanks
<reinhard> from now on the complete src/mac and tools/mac directories will be part of every tarball
<reinhard> if you add files to this directories they will be in the tarballs, too
<neilt> thanks
<neilt> is the mac help file in the geas/doc directory in the tarball
<reinhard> can you do me a favour?
<reinhard> doc/ directory is in the tarball as a whole
<neilt> probably
<reinhard> geas-oidgen -h
<neilt> yes
<neilt> [localhost:gnue/geas/tools] ntiffin% ./geas-oidgen -h
<neilt> Usage: ./geas-oidgen [OPTION...]
<neilt> Generate OID's usable as primary key for new data records
<neilt>   -n NUM  Generate NUM OID's (default is 25)
<neilt>   -h      Give this help list
<neilt>   -V      Print program version
<neilt> Report bugs to bugs@gnue.org
<reinhard> ok
<reinhard> so this really works
<reinhard> when you build geas-oidgen on a GNU system (Linux)
<reinhard> you have long options like --help enabled
<reinhard> when you build on systems which don't have GNU libc
<reinhard> then long options are disabled
<reinhard> i am still not sure if this is good
<reinhard> getopt_long is a GNU specific extension in libc
<neilt> i should have libc installed
<reinhard> yeah but not the GNU version of libc
<reinhard> every un*x has a libc
<neilt> aahhh
<reinhard> there seems to be that other possibility
<reinhard> to add the getopt_long library part to the lib/ directory
<reinhard> and let it compile when you have no GNU libc
<reinhard> and don't compile it and don't link to that object when you have GNU libc
<reinhard> but that adds overhead to the build process
<reinhard> on the other hand it makes things more consistent on different platforms

<reinhard> neilt: can you compile the classdef library after your changes?
<neilt> yes
<neilt> and you
<reinhard> no
<neilt> ok why
<reinhard> it tells me about
<neilt> i did miss one think in the parser
<neilt> thing
<reinhard> opt_help_fieldname is used, but is not defined etc.
<neilt> i should delete one more rule
<neilt> let me check
<reinhard> opt_help_fieldname
<reinhard> help_fieldname
<reinhard> language
<reinhard> help
<reinhard> tooltip
<reinhard> are the things it gives as error messages
<reinhard> also i think we should remove the HELP and TOOLTIP tokens from the list of tokens
<reinhard> also from lparser.l
<neilt> yep found them in the parser
<neilt> sorry about that, checking in new source in a few
<neilt> (after testing)
<reinhard> no prob
<reinhard> thanks to ra3vat
<neilt> reinhard: try that
<reinhard> updating cvs
<neilt> i changed yparser, but on my system make does not detect a need to recompile?
<reinhard> for me that works
<reinhard> automatic detection for recompile that is
<reinhard> compiles now ok
<neilt> cool
<reinhard> neilt: i would propose to remove HELP and TOOLTIP from the list of tokens
Nick change: ajmitch -> ajbusy
<reinhard> from yparser.y and lparser.l
<neilt> i did yparser i thought
<reinhard> you removed the rule
<reinhard> but there is still a line %token ..... HELP TOOLTIP
<reinhard> which means that bison recognizes that special tokens
<neilt> ok, let me do that also
<reinhard> and lparser still contains those patterns to generate tokens from the text
Action: chillywilly kicks nickr hard
<nickr> ouch, what was that for?
<chillywilly> for saying what you said in #hurd
<chillywilly> about dogma
<nickr> You haven't provided an evidence to the contrary
<chillywilly> you want me to rehash why the GPL is better then BSD?
<nickr> No
<chillywilly> or public domain
<nickr> but BSD != PD
<nickr> public domain is totalyl free
<nickr> GPL isn't but provides protections
<chillywilly> the freedom can be negated easily
<nickr> No, it can't
<chillywilly> you can extend and close it
<nickr> Once you have a PD object, no one can take it from you or compell you to stop using it
<nickr> thats not removing the freedom you were originally granted
<chillywilly> yes but it is allowing one to remove it for others later on whenever they feel like it
<nickr> No
<chillywilly> it is not guaranteed to stay free software
<nickr> You can't because it is owned by everyone. You can choose not to grant the same freedom in your extensions
<chillywilly> this is exactly why I have a problem with it, it is no better than BSD
<nickr> It is because it can be used without restriction
<nickr> for something tiny like a portability function it is the only way to go
<nickr> because you may want to port many Free things with different licenses
<nickr> There exists already a gpl xgetcwd
<chillywilly> oh, ok
<chillywilly> then I get it
<chillywilly> why didn't you just say so
<chillywilly> :P
<nickr> And if there didn't I would have given a version to gnu under the gpl and then released a version pd.
<nickr> I did say so
<chillywilly> nope you just insulted
<chillywilly> me
<nickr> as I said, you get all excited when you think theres some conflict with your dogma that you ignore the logical arguments.
<chillywilly> you said portability, but I didn;t really get what that meant
<nickr> No, I didn't insult you, I made a factual statement from my point of view.
<chillywilly> yes you did that statement is insulting
<nickr> Its insulting because you allow it to be.
<nickr> I didn't call you an asslover or anything
<chillywilly> I didn't ignore any logical arguments because non we explained just "portability"
<chillywilly> none
<neilt> reinhard: ok try that
<nickr> Well you went nuts with the licensing thing and completely ignored neal's and my explainations
<nickr> the fact that *neal* of all people agreed with me should've short circuited your objections :P
<reinhard> trying...
<chillywilly> you guys were discussing the philosphy and why it was better to BSD or something which seems very contradictory to GNU and what most of the Hurd guys believe, not that you did it for technical reasons so that you can port all sorta of free software with varying licenses
<ra3vat> Initialising business class method handling.

<ra3vat>  reinhard; is it ok to have above error at this stage?
<reinhard> ra3vat: you configured with --enable-methods=python ?
<chillywilly> it won't hurt
<chillywilly> methods doesn't do anything yet
<ra3vat> reinhard: yes
<reinhard> ra3vat: please don't do that :)
<nickr> chillywilly: we were being purely technical until you started yelling about how bsd sucks :)
<reinhard> that part is currently broken
<chillywilly> nickr: you do disagree then?
<reinhard> currently = for some months meanwhile
<nickr> chillywilly: I disagree in the context of the discussion.
<chillywilly> yes, but I was not aware of the context
<nickr> chillywilly: I feel completely justified in making xgetcwd public domain
<chillywilly> sure, if it to be used in porting a varietay of software with varying licenses
Nick change: neilt -> nt-ping-me
<chillywilly> I only agree in that context
<nt-ping-me> only if you want me for somthing
<chillywilly> heheh
<nt-ping-me> :)
<chillywilly> lol
<nickr> chillywilly: i have more affinity toward PD than GPL, however GPL is the most logical thing to do under our current socio-economic environment
<nickr> I think PD is more 'morally right'
<nickr> but that only works if everyone else believes that too
<chillywilly> nickr: I agree that PD or BSD qwould be good in a perfect world
<dtm> nickr: hehe
<chillywilly> nickr: agreed
<nickr> gpl is more 'practically right' if the use of laws is required as it is in our current world
<ra3vat> reinhard: well, will try then to configure it --with-blame-chillywilly :)
<chillywilly> ra3vat: :P
<nickr> but it is less moral because it prevents total freedom by depending on a central government
<reinhard> lol
<reinhard> ra3vat: if you configure without any parameter it should just compile and run fine
<ra3vat> thanks
<nt-ping-me> ra3vat: that should be --with-will-be-fixed-by-cw
<chillywilly> :)
<ra3vat> --with-will-be-fixed-by-cw-soon
<nt-ping-me> that too
<chillywilly> nickr: total freedom == anarchy which doesn't work...that's why we have laws upholding ppl's rights...it would nice not to have to dot hat though so I see your point
<nickr> chillywilly: anarchy is effective in small groups
<reinhard> nickr: you consider the world a small group?
<chillywilly> er, not have to make ppl respect other's rights that they do it on their own out of the goodness of their heart
<reinhard> i would
<nickr> reinhard: no, unfortunately
<reinhard> j/k
<chillywilly> anywho
<reinhard> nt-ping-me: i fixed a last thing
<nt-ping-me> yes
<reinhard> in yparser.y in the list of valid tokens
<dtm> chillywilly: yes and until some chaotic event wont manipulate someone's lack of preparation into de-evolving back into noncooperation :)
<reinhard> but that was only a beauty thing
<dtm> chillywilly: there will always be a need for some system to help reinforce values even if those values are conscious and intrinsic
<chillywilly> yea, probablty
<dtm> chillywilly: you know the story of the devout person who suddenly suffers a severe trauma and then blames it on God or whatever
<dtm> :(
<chillywilly> no
<dtm> chillywilly: well you should watch "touched by an angel" :)
<dtm> chillywilly: it's a cliche now
<chillywilly> how do you mean "blame"?
<chillywilly> they are angry with god?
<dtm> chillywilly: which i dont like to say about trauma sufferers
<nt-ping-me> reinhard: did you check it in?
<reinhard> yes
<chillywilly> human beings are sinful and imperfect and laws will always be required
<chillywilly> imho
<dtm> chillywilly: yeah.  they think God loved them when things were ok and happened the way they expect things to happen.  then a chaotic or traumatic condition occurs perhaps even over a long time, and their faith is weakened or wrecked
<chillywilly> k
<dtm> chillywilly: i woudl think that for most people, even those who are not strong enough to lead in social systems, that if they have a constant normal support group, they'll be totally likely to not deviate
<chillywilly> the only way is through Jesus christ our lord man alone cannot do it :P
<dtm> lots of people who aren't very strong, suffer traumas but have families, churches, communities, books/media/ideas, which help them continuously heal or delay their FUD
<dtm> and i consider that to be the minimum
<chillywilly> why do you think we are in such disarray? the world is secular
<dtm> chillywilly: yeah but a lot of people who say that dont truly understand it -- wait til their world view crashes and see what they do :)
<dtm> chillywilly: then see how many say "why have you forsaken me"
<nickr> You can have secular support groups. :P
<reinhard> ra3vat: does it work now?
<chillywilly> when you give your life to the lord you will be taken care of...it is not an easy thing to do though
<dtm> nickr: yeah and they can help enough to keep things together on a continual short term basis
<dtm> chillywilly: you have to also not take it back
Action: ra3vat is glad as now it works
<reinhard> ra3vat: cool
<dtm> chillywilly: which we'll see as we're tested
<dtm> chillywilly: in life
<chillywilly> yep, all the time
<dtm> chillywilly: i have tried taking it back
<dtm> chillywilly: that doesn't work.  :}
<dtm> chillywilly: i dont recommend it :)
<nickr> I don't agree that secular groups are of limited utility as you seem to believe.
<dtm> nickr: i didn't say that at all.
<chillywilly> heh, it was funny because when we were in bible study calls the teacher was talking about turning your back on Jesus and everything and he was a new christian and he was going to bible study at his linch and then when his boss asked him where he went he goes "none of you business", right there he denies christ
<chillywilly> s/calls/class
<dtm> nickr: well i mean humans alone are objectively limited in the most global context, but that isn't to say that we can't do plenty of stuff on our own
<dtm> chillywilly: oh boy
<chillywilly> we can do wonder through christ, he gives us strength
<nickr> dtm: I'm not sure I compleetly understand that statement
<dtm> nickr: ok sorry
<dtm> nickr: humans can't do everything but can be extremely effective
<dtm> nickr: you can't imply what you were implying, from what i've said :)
<nickr> now I'm really confused ;)
<dtm> nickr: and secular support groups go a long way
<chillywilly> erm I meant to sday he was telling a story about when he was a new christian
<dtm> chillywilly: so he was telling how he used to be/
<dtm> ?
<chillywilly> yeah
<chillywilly> it was related to how some of the apostles denied christ for fear of their life
<dtm> chillywilly: yep
<dtm> chillywilly: life isn't worth that much, even with torture
<chillywilly> oh and how John was todl he would be crucified for his beliefs by Jesus
<dtm> chillywilly: it's possible to accept that
<dtm> chillywilly: even in context of thinking through what you'd do if it was a "kill or be killed" situation, like if someone attacked your family
<dtm> chillywilly: i tend to believe that this world isn't that important and that even if my whole family tossed me out then "oh well"
<chillywilly> then he brought up the point of would you give your life for christ
<dtm> chillywilly: of course most people i've met are so nuts they'll toss me out over virtually nothing at all, so i'm also used to that :)
<dtm> chillywilly: but even if i wasn't, and when i wasn't, i still thought that

<chillywilly> I would lik to
<chillywilly> and
<chillywilly> if I can get to phoenix
<dtm> i talked with a guy named Manny yesterday but i woulnd't say i "know" him.
<chillywilly> masta would hook me up
<chillywilly> but I don't wanna be a burden
<dtm> so, i too don't know Manny
<dtm> eh
<dtm> why go to phoenix?  just to hang out with masta?
<dtm> or you mean to ride with him to lwce

<nickr> oh oh
<nickr> can I go?
<chillywilly> yes
<chillywilly> bum a ride
<dtm> chillywilly: so why not go directly to SFBA then?
<dtm> chillywilly: if you can afford a plane ticket here, you can stay at my house
<dtm> same goes for anyone in gnue 
<dtm> as long as you're well behaved
<dtm> i once invited rms long ago -- i'd still consider it :)
<dtm> rms doesn't drive at all does he
<chillywilly> you had rms stay at your house?
<chillywilly> and it is still in one piece?
<dtm> no
<dtm> never happened
<chillywilly> heh
<chillywilly> he's known for getting into trouble
<dtm> right after the opensourcing of mojirra, he came to sfba for an svlug talk
<dtm> what kind
<dtm> other than not showing up to places
<chillywilly> what is sfba?
<dtm> san fran bay area
<dtm> due to the existance of many bays, i bypass the common arrogant nomer 'bay area'
<dtm> i like all bays.
<dtm> afaik
<dtm> i heard interesting stories about his talk at svlug at Netscape HQ
<dtm> that was when i started at VA
<dtm> and we coordinated the event
<dtm> as we did with most interesting shit
<dtm> Chris DiBona, to be specific
<dtm> Chris  1) suggested and coordinated rms's presence  2) despises rms's mannerisms and behavior and many of his ideas  3) has an excellent RMS imitation
<dtm> and the funny thing is how other people such as myself have a Chris DiBona imitation, particularly of Chris imitating RMS
<dtm> pretty nutty
<chillywilly> heheh
<dtm> but i moved to sfba about 1 or 2 days late for the event
<dtm> so rms stayed near berkeley i think
<nickr> I like only some bays
<nickr> I'm distcriminitory about bays
<dtm> was about 1 hr late to the svlug speech
<dtm> nickr: i hear that
<dtm> nickr: some bays aren't clean
<dtm> nickr: this bay is kinda unclean and has sharks
<dtm> and it has Alcatraz
<nickr> For example, I despise any bays in Zambia
<dtm> which is a bummer
<dtm> nickr: oh i see
<dtm> i know nothing of Zambia
<dtm> hey is Zambia where they got the name for the Zambizi Zinger which is a ride at Worlds of Fun in Kansas City, MO?
<dtm> i bet they have snakes in Zamiba
<dtm> Zambia
<dtm> biggins
<nickr> I like the SF bay area
<nickr> Although I could do without the mimes.
<dtm> i've never seen a mime here
<dtm> there are some very talented homeless people.
