nkinkadeBovinity: I'm upgrading Wordpress to 2.7.  I noticed that it now has an upgrade tool that can be used right through the admin interface.17:39
greg-gskyfaller: http://www.positronrecords.com/17:39
nkinkadeI'm wondering if now would be a good time to stop upgrading via svn merges, and perhaps even move this thing to git.17:40
K`Tetch2.7's ok17:41
K`Tetchthe new post interface goes back to 2.5 layout17:42
nkinkadeK`Tetch: The demo video made it look pretty nice.17:42
K`Tetchthe post management system is a little harder to deal with, since there's no direct 'preview' link17:42
K`Tetchone of my sites upgraded 36 hours ago17:42
K`Tetchnow, my system struggles a bit17:42
nkinkadeK`Tetch: Struggles in what way?17:43
K`Tetch(1ghz athlon running opera 9)17:43
nkinkadeYou mean your local system struggles?17:43
K`Tetchyes17:43
nkinkadeLike my local system struggle with Gmail?17:43
K`Tetchi wouldn't know about that17:43
nkinkadeI would. :-)17:43
K`Tetchits just a lot more 'widgetyness'17:43
K`Tetchajax or something17:44
nkinkadeWell, I guess there's no turning back.  For better or worse we've got to keep installing new versions.17:44
Bovinitynkinkade: yeah, do you think the upgrade tool will interfere with our svn setup? i'm inclined to think it will17:45
nkinkadeI'm not sure.  What I'd like to do at this point is to migrate this thing to git.17:45
nkinkadeOr at the very least run from an svn checkout so that upgrades are as easy as svn switch.17:46
*** [mharrison] has quit IRC17:46
nkinkadepaulproteus: With git-svn is there any good reason you can think of not to migrate ccwordpress to git?  Or should we just leave things started in subversion in subversion.17:47
paulproteusI'm all for git on this.17:47
nkinkadepaulproteus: Would you be willing to setup a git-svn nightly job like the others?17:48
nkinkade(of the wordpress repo, that is)17:48
paulproteusI already have one running on rose, even.17:48
* paulproteus nods17:48
nkinkadeNathan may have some objections, I don't know.17:48
nkinkadeBovinity: Check out wp-admin on staging.17:57
Bovinitynkinkade: woah17:58
nkinkadeRadical refactorization of that interface, right?17:59
Bovinitymaybe not refactor, but definitely rearrangement17:59
Bovinitythis might need some staff re-training18:00
nkinkadeThat's why you're there. ;-)18:00
nkinkade(jk)18:00
Bovinitythat's why i'm re-training myself now :P18:00

nkinkadeBovinity: How do you get a very thin black border around a flag icon?  Take a look at http://staging.creativecommons.org/international/18:36
nkinkadeAt the very bottom Georgia and Singapore are ugly.18:36
Bovinitynkinkade: border: 1px solid #000;18:36
nkinkadeAh, that's the problem.18:37
Bovinityfor some reason thsoe flags appear to have the border in the image....18:37
nkinkadeI added a 1px border to image.18:37
Bovinityah, heh18:37
nkinkadeThey do.  I'll fix that now.18:37
nkinkadeI was like, that is one wide pixel!18:37
nkinkadeMuch better now.18:41

paulproteus<nkinkade> [13:39:30] Bovinity: How do you get a very thin black border around a flag icon?19:45
Bovinityhmm?19:45
paulproteusSounds like a set-up for a joke.19:45
* paulproteus ponders punch-lines19:45
Bovinitythree men walk into a bar19:46
Bovinity...19:46
paulproteusA rabbi, a priest, and a coca-cola salesman walk into a bar.19:46
paulproteusThe bartenders says, "What is this, a joke?"19:46

Bovinitypaulproteus: "diveintomarx.org"? lol20:22
Bovinityin soviet russia, python tabs you!20:22
paulproteusI still really like breaktheinter.net.20:26
paulproteusI was going to use it for a website promoting ISPs that are against Net Neutrality.20:26
paulproteusIt'd be like "We're so proud that we hate the Internet!" site listing all of them.20:26
paulproteus"On an unrelated note, you should register diveintomarx.org as a redirect to this site. I find my finger slipping for some reason" <http://diveintomark.org/archives/2007/10/26/stuck-in-lax>20:28

paulproteusnkinkade, ping re: my UML idea20:44
nkinkadepaulproteus: It seems like overkill.20:46
nkinkadeI'm not necessarily opposed to it, just wondering what advantage it brings over just ionicing and nicing your cron jobs as they are.20:47
paulproteusThat's fair.20:47
paulproteusI'll try just nicing and ionicing.20:47
paulproteusnkinkade, How about we just nice and ionice the crond itself?20:48
paulproteusThen all cron jobs are ioniced and niced?20:48
nkinkadeIf you have more scripts and things that need running and ionicing and nicing everything is getting out of control, then maybe a UML environment would be best.20:48
* paulproteus shrugs20:48
nkinkadepaulproteus: I thought we were already doing that, at least on one or two servers.20:49
paulproteusWell I should inherit that then.20:49
nkinkadeNow I can't remember what.20:49
paulproteusI'll see about a6.20:49
nkinkadeMaybe I didn't set it up on a6.20:49
nkinkadeLet me check a5.20:49
paulproteusYes on a6.20:49
paulproteusioniced.20:49
paulproteus... you do this way differently than I do.20:49
nkinkadepaulproteus: And on a5 as well.20:49
paulproteusI just add one line to top of the init script that ionices the init script itself.20:50
paulproteusYou ionice each subprocese explicitly.20:50
nkinkadeI must have done that on all the servers (your idea, and a good one).20:50
paulproteusBTW, this is one reason I like the idea of git for /etc.20:50
paulproteusgit diff | (ssh server ; git apply)20:50
paulproteusBut there should be better infrastructure for that than just etckeeper, but anyway let's think about that later.20:51
nkinkadeSo then I'm not sure why your scripts were still killing the machine.20:51
nkinkadeMaybe it was purely CPU.20:51
paulproteusYeah.  Let's nice the crond init script?20:51
nkinkadeIt was oscillating between 100% and something near it.20:51
nkinkadeThat sounds good.20:51
paulproteusSure, but keep in mind a niced process can use 100% too.20:51
paulproteusJust so long as no one else needs it.20:52
paulproteusBut that niceness should be enough to stop "killing" the machine.20:52
nkinkadeSomeone needed it last night a 4:45AM EST. :-)20:52
paulproteusHey, I was asleep then!20:52
paulproteusUnlike the night before.20:52
paulproteusSo you'll add the nice, or should I?20:54
* paulproteus assumes you will and carries on with other things20:55
nkinkadeYes, I was asleep too.  That's the point.21:08

paulproteusnathany, FINALLY someone takes advantage of the size of uSD cards: http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/tools/b308/?cpg=wnrss22:31
nkinkadepaulproteus: Yes.22:31
* paulproteus hopes that's re: the uSD cards link too22:31
nathanyLOL22:31
nkinkadeThere was also a nice bit of software developed for the Openmoko that was announced today: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/OpenVibe22:33
nkinkadeThere was a funny accompanying thread that sprung up on the Openmoko community list: http://lists.openmoko.org/nabble.html#nabble-td166230022:34
*** rohitj has joined #cc22:38
paulproteusI saw the subject lines but hadn't read the thread yet.22:38
paulproteusOoh, I do like the application for phone sex.22:39
* paulproteus is just citing messages in the thread...22:39
nathanyo.m.g.22:39
paulproteus...if this app does not exist on the iPhone store, I will have to sign the NDA and learn Objective C and make it.22:40
nathanylol22:40
nkinkadeOne thing I like about mail lists and IRC channels with lots of foreign people is that, though their English is frequently really good, their slight misuse of it cracks me up.22:40
paulproteusnkinkade, YES!22:41
paulproteus(-:22:41
nkinkadeThe other day on the #mediawiki channel some guy some in and was cracking me up.22:42

*** skyfaller has quit IRC22:42
nkinkadeAt one point he say he's bored, then he says "I think gonna huggle people."  Cracked me up.22:43
paulproteusI have no idea what that means.22:43
nkinkadeI know, I saw that.  haha.22:43
nkinkadeI had no idea either, but people responded.22:43
nkinkadeAnd it was good for a laugh.22:43
paulproteusLike so much about the MediaWiki project.22:44
nkinkadeIt may be that I'm going to have to revert to the old standard HTML interface for Gmail and Apps.  It seems faster to me, but less interesting.22:44
paulproteusAt that rate you might as well use alpine.22:45
nkinkadeAnd it doesn't trash my Rhythmbox Internet radio sessions.22:45
nkinkadeI was just thinking that same thing.22:45
nkinkadeI may install it shortly.22:45
paulproteusDo you have, like, 129 kbps of bandwidth?22:45
paulproteushttp://javatarian.wordpress.com/2008/02/01/configuring-alpine-with-gmail/22:45
nkinkadeI've got a fast Internet connection ... reasonably fast.22:45
paulproteusThat passes a sanity-check.22:46
nkinkadeAt least as fast as the SF office.22:46
nkinkadeAnd yet, when I click on a label in Google Apps, invariably the radio starts skipping and eventually goes away.22:46
nkinkadeI have a hard time believing that it's a bandwidth issue.22:46
Bovinityyay, Inkscape solved my Arabic problem.22:47
paulproteusThat sounds racist and vaguely xenophobic.22:48
paulproteus(with apologies to nathany)22:48
Bovinityyay, Inkscape solved my Arabian problem.22:48
nathany:)22:48
paulproteusnathany, BTW I recommend colors in alpine.22:49
paulproteushttp://recycledspace.com/2007/12/22/alpine-messaging-system-the-alternative-to-pine-gmail-included/ emphasizes good options too.22:49
nkinkadeI may hold off on the alpine thing.  I suspect it would require a good deal of setup and tweaking to get it where I like it.22:59
nkinkadeAnd I just opened this Internet radio site in a Firefox window with the mplayer plugin an I don't seem to be getting any skips when Gmail lags like I was getting with Rythmbox.23:00
paulproteusOkay.23:02
paulproteusYou can try alpine in combination with standard Gmail just fine, anyway.23:02
