Action: drochaid ducks um yes and no geas v1 use corba yes drochaid: :P, C# is a language, silly geas v2 (in development) will use gnue rpc which is an rpc abstraction library it will support drochaid: but with the power of pnet i'm sure we can write it in C# if you really really want ;) XML-RPC, SOAP, CORBA probably right away but its design is such that it can support any rpc that one wishes to write a driver for I'm writing a generic system for distrib objects in corba, and I have found geas, but I not know it geas is not really distributed corba objects i.e. our approach is to not lock ourselves into things the idea is we use rpc as a transport only not to actually deal with the objects i.e. you end up with a generic rpc object to handle things even under the CORBA geas v1 we did things this way we didnt pass CORBA objects around i.e. you defined objects via a class definition that got loaded into GEAS but there was not individual IDL for every object my problem is not how to write a system like this, but how a medium developer can interoperate with it without knowledge of corba and c++. for example, a VB or delphi developer i wont talk to you anymore if you consider delphi and vb developers as equals ;) sorry :) I'm also a delphi developer (vb is bad... but in italy we have a lot of vb programmer) dneighbo: what about java developers? ajmitch: java is for satanists!! we are talking about computer professionals here ajmitch , no need to bring the conversation down :) and yet, I don't program in java .. weird huh? :) drochaid: umm... steu our view was that if you merely have an abstraction java is good but no skills oops, misspelled *santaists ;) the developer really need not understand much of CORBA etc as they have a lightweight CORBA api to deal with drochaid: guess what language we use at uni ;) ajmitch: swahili? instead of having to use CORBA to ineract with every object ajmitch: you know Opera comes in Scottish Gaelic now? :D drochaid: no, maori & english :P we code in java tho ok, but I want that a normal developer (form designing, and etc) can use my system with delphi and vb. my system is multiplatform, obviusly drochaid: really? for example: db server and corba server on linux clients on win32 the problem is the speed of app development with this infrastructure drochaid: how fluent are you, btw? ajmitch: nowhere near as fluent as I want to be drochaid: right, i'd like to learn some more, but don't have time to make it to the lessons a group runs here ajmitch: if you have some available cash, Canan developed the Speaking our Language series shown on tv over here a few years ago ... it's available in book, audio and video format from them and a few bookshops it's a superb series yeah, so i've heard steu: and the question is i.e. what im saying about the basic corba piece what does that have to do with multi platform or using vb/delphi any environment supporting corba could use it our current geas v1 works this way ajmitch: http://www.canan.co.uk/sol.htm if you ahve any programming environment that can talk CORBA you can use it including vb delphi infact one company was using it with a java front end thx drochaid yes, but I need to integrate my corba objects (C++) in delphi or vb, transparently for programmers that use it. simply like use visual components the solutions that now I use is a DLL that use CORBA Objects and comunicate with VB and Delphi sigh i think you miss what i am saying altogether gnu enterpise doesnt have the goal of being a component company for vb/delphi (which it sounds like what you are looking for) so i guess my short answer is that geas has little value in that context there are plenty of folks that would discuss such things here as we discuss about anything but i think most of those folks are not currently here yes yes. but I can't find developers that can use gnue... I find only vb developer. now I go. thanks and bye no problem sorry we couldnt be of more help no problem. bye steu (steu@62.98.45.107) left irc: he left whew Action: jamest gets worried when more delphi coders show up lol Action: drochaid sorta uses delphi >:) argh! in fact, I was wondering myself about using delphi/kylix and GNUe for the same system why don't these people use Oracle's SQL*Forms the way nature intended things to be? but I least I wasn't planning to use delhi to access GNUe :) drochaid: i'm just giving derek a hard time :) aww, poor derek ;) there is some misnomer that i love delphi i think some things in delphi are great adn i think borland builds much better tools than say m$ but i dont think gnue should be delphi I agree, there are a couple of reaonable tools out there that work like kylix oh wait, that doesn't start an argument ... dneighbo: you are completely wrong, I think GNUe should be *exactly* like delphi ;) you mean GNUe isn't? lol ajmitch: no, at the moment it's more like a java tool ;) drochaid: at least it's not like VB (yet) ;) give it time >:) woohoo, GNUe Basic here we come! :) lol the GNUE delphree IDE er, s/IDE/system heh ToyMan (stuq@65.167.123.51) left irc: "Client Exiting" you're scaring them away! who's scaring them?

Action: chillywilly is away: hitting the crack pipe Action: drochaid thinks he's had quite alot already tonight dsmith (dsmith@208.40.56.34) left irc: "later.." jcater (~jason@HubA-mcr-24-165-193-24.midsouth.rr.com) joined #gnuenterprise. wb jcater thx Action: drochaid is putting slack 8 on his new [??] machine are you sick seriously he must be mental slack is great an all but managing a system like that is hell I finally got rid of slack 8 :) i would either a. install debian b. if you are pro source install gentoo linux gentoo is a distro that basically uses the equiv of BSD ports dneighbo: I've never used debian, and I'm used to MDK/RHL/Slack type environments what's wrong with the management? i.e. its packaging uses source but is more managable than slack you learn how to use the apps and it's no trouble I loved slack until I had to upgrade Action: dneighbo cant imagine anything other than something similar to apt and that is after trying several different distros Action: drochaid doesn't care how the majority of apps get on the system put it this way i think redhat does a lot correct in way of user presentation and installs as long as I have absolute compile time control over things like openLDAP and PostgreSQL but debian kicks their ass on maintainability I really do need to play with deb at some point I have no reservations upgrading one of my remote machines from 90 miles away of course, if I get the other machine up in a few days [I only need a floppy and nic now ... and I think a friend has a spare floppy] I might try it on that with debian that is well here is my case i have an alpha box running red hat 5.2 i dont use anymore as its out of date i would love to 'upgrade' it but i really dont want to spend time doing so if it were running debian i change an sources.list file apt-get update apt-get dist upgrade and come back in the morning (or a few hours) and i have an upgraded box cool but isn't development on deb rather dead now? :) ? huh? hmmm they have to 'reboot' the file server guess that means its tiem to go home dneighbo (dneighbo@tmp-200253.flinthills.com) left irc: "cant wait until we are on w2k" back ok, seriously tho a couple of friends who are big deb fans and use it almost exclusively have been saying they are disapointed with the speed of development over the past couple of years any thoughts on that jcater? jbailey (jbailey@HSE-Toronto-ppp319187.sympatico.ca) left irc: "Client Exiting" guess jbailey doesn't ... yeah... but han gon a sec err, hang on a sec okies Action: chillywilly is back (gone 00:52:21) wb dude, debian rocks the stable version is a bit old but testing is a nice compromise and sid is for people who like to live on the edge but it has the most packages of any distro, is built by the community, has free software guidelines, is easy to maintain, and is upgradable like a mofo One wonders how the impression that the development is dead could be had er gawd and is anyone willing to talk me through the install and general use? or at least point me to some semi readble docs? Action: jcater forgets how much graphics design tools under linux truly suck the big one lol jcater that's why I still use windows dood I'd be 100% linux if it wasn't for QuarkXPress / Freehand / Illustrator / Photoshop I'm ALMOST happy w/the photoshop replacements under linux especially ImageMagick boohoo it doesn't do it for me gimp is the photoshop replacement bitch chillywilly: I've used gimp KWord is the closest thing to PageMaker / QuarkXPress we have KWord?? :o balah Action: drochaid uses openoffice on windows :) sodipodi and Kontour look like they'll contend w/Illustrator and Freehand but not quite yet drochaid: I was referring to page layout there is nothing even similar to Quark on Linux not ot word processing kword is the closest thing openoffice doesn't do word processing, it does page layout as it is a frame-based application sodipodi is missing the ease of use and 'togetherness' of Illustrator drochaid: not by most definitions you're reffering to dtp nah yes I am referring to dtp textual processing like wordperfect for DOS or emacs is wordprocessing word, openwrite [??] wordpro etc are page layout and pagemaker, express etc are dtp uh Not well then openoffice is the poorest excuse for a page layout program I've seen I don't agree with that definition but I still maintain that word and family ARE NOT page layout the point of dtp is layout they are page layout they allow you to lay objects out on the page dtp implies that you press on your desktop also no, dtp is a step further page layout is just the first part of publishing I concur with nickr's definition or start of one quark is a page layout tool that you could use for DTP nickr: which word etc are a crossbreed of dtp and wordprocessing but also for non dtp press nickr: dtp has nothing to do with offset lithos .. it's the method of page creation, not page production Desk Top Publishing its the entire process not just layout word et al are word processors that have become overly bloated with wysiwyg no, it's only a single stage in the entire process but that doesn't fall into my definition of "layout" jcater: which is why they are called page layout wysiwyg != page layout lol it does word is a word processor with some layout ability quark is a layout system that can be used for dtp no, emacs is wordprocessing, word is page layout among other things express is dtp drochaid: emacs is text processing uh .. s/text/word .. same thing dood not hardly emacs is an editor with some word processing ability text is merely a sequence of words word processing implies the flow of text no, word processing implies the processing of text um, that fits in with my argument :) a text flow package implies the flow of text chillywilly (danielb@d4.as28.nwbl0.wi.voyager.net) left irc: chillywilly (~danielb@d4.as28.nwbl0.wi.voyager.net) joined #gnuenterprise. quick question ... using adduser [or useradd] .. how do I specify a null home directory? um f you all emacs is an operating system not a 'word' processor or a 'text' 'editor' sheesh Nick change: dnWork -> derek ;) lol wb derek, I think ;) Action: drochaid toddles off to bed night all [any?] ToyMan (stuq@c5300-4-ip42.albany.thebiz.net) left irc: "Client Exiting" dres (~dres@4.18.171.42) joined #gnuenterprise. dres (dres@4.18.171.42) left irc: Remote closed the connection dres (~dres@4.18.171.42) joined #gnuenterprise. hmmm AMD invited us to be in their booth Action: derek personally loves AMD hardware jamest (~jamest@fh-dialup-201028.flinthills.com) joined #gnuenterprise. zoot jamest (jamest@fh-dialup-201028.flinthills.com) left irc: "[x]chat" ajmitch (~me@p36-max4.dun.ihug.co.nz) joined #gnuenterprise. alexey (~alexey@195.151.214.34) joined #gnuenterprise. alexey (alexey@195.151.214.34) left irc: "Client Exiting" --- Sat Apr 6 2002
