| 02:02 | <@Consul> | Hrm |
| 02:02 | <@Consul> | Just had a lock-up while watching a local video, not even an FLV. |
| 02:02 | <@Consul> | I think that one guy's theory about a bad video driver might have merit. |
| 02:03 | <@Consul> | Namegduf, that's the guy. :-) |
| 02:04 | <@Consul> | When I install Ubuntu Studio, I'm going to try the open Nvidia driver. |

| 20:03 | <@Consul> | Wow, the Ubuntu forums are literally so busy they're useless. |
| 20:04 | <@Consul> | It took 30 minutes for my post to fall to the fifth page. |
| 20:04 | <@simontwo> | ugh. |
| 20:04 | <@TheWatcher> | ... |
| 20:04 | <@Consul> | So, maybe someone here can help... |
| 20:05 | <@simontwo> | better see a local user-group IRC channel. the Danish Ubuntu channel on freenode, for example, is rarely overrun. |
| 20:05 | <@simontwo> | yeah, or that. |
| 20:05 | <@Consul> | I'm trying to install Ubuntu Studio... |
| 20:05 | <@TheWatcher> | That tells me that either a) they need to split that forum up, or b) ubuntu has way too many problems >.> |
| 20:05 | <@Consul> | And after it boots to the DVD, selects the language, and selects the keyboard, it comes up with an error that it failed to mount the CDROM. |
| 20:06 | <@Consul> | My DVD drive works just fine. |
| 20:06 | <@Consul> | They're trying to mount it with the command: mount /dev/sr0 |
| 20:06 | <@Consul> | Which is a new one on me. |
| 20:06 | <@Consul> | Of course, the system comes back saying that device doesn't exist. |
| 20:08 | <@Consul> | But my DVD does exist, it just booted to it! |
| 20:09 | <@Consul> | I think I'll give Arch another go. |
| 20:09 | <@Consul> | Not that it'll be any easier, but Arch has the benefit of their software packages being really up-to-the-minute. |
| 20:10 | | * TheWatcher suspects there'd be an option you could pass to the installer via the bootloader, but knows not ubuntu |
| 20:10 | <@Derakon> | Hm. Anyone know if there's a way to automatically set a CSS style on an image based on what the image is of? |
| 20:10 | <@Derakon> | I want to auto-set the margins on one particular icon for this page: http://derakon.dyndns.org/~chriswei/games/c221/cheatsheet-3.0.html |
| 20:10 | <@Derakon> | Right now I have to do "class="foo"" for every image tag for that icon, which sucks. |
| 20:11 | <@TheWatcher> | id="foo" and set #foo in the css? *shrug* |
| 20:11 | <@Derakon> | Basically the same as setting the class. :\ |
| 20:11 | <@TheWatcher> | Yeah |
| 20:11 | <@TheWatcher> | Hm |
| 20:12 | <@Derakon> | Just three characters shorter. |
| 20:12 | <@TheWatcher> | I guess you could use some javascript to postprocess the img elements on the page, and if the filename matches it sets the margin... |
| 20:13 | <@Derakon> | ;.; |
| 20:13 | <@Derakon> | That is an abuse of Javascript, IMO. I'll just leave it at classes for now. |
| 20:14 | <@TheWatcher> | Other than that... add the margins to the image data itself as transprent pixels? |
| 20:14 | <@TheWatcher> | *transparent |
| 20:14 | <@Derakon> | That'd work if the margins were positive. :) |
| 20:14 | <@TheWatcher> | ... ugh |
| 20:14 | <@TheWatcher> | yeah |
| 20:15 | <@Derakon> | Yeah, negative margins. But it works! |
| 20:15 | <@Derakon> | Without them, the "worker" icon mucks with line height something fierce. |
| 20:52 | <@simontwo> | ?u ekzistas la koncepto "lernadoludo"? |
| 20:52 | <@Derakon> | Ich sprechen keine deutsch. |
| 20:52 | <@simontwo> | whoops. :) |
| 20:53 | | * simontwo takes his esperanto boardgaming elsewhere, heh. |
| 20:53 | <@Derakon> | ...why did I think that was German? |
| 20:53 | <@Derakon> | It looks nothing like German. |
| 20:53 | <@simontwo> | I'd guess the 'z' has that effect. |
| 21:49 | <@Vornicus> | http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/selector.html#attribute-selectors |
| 21:51 | <@Vornicus> | You can use an attribute selector to apply styles to elements based on attributes. |
| 21:52 | <@Vornicus> | (this is for Der)) |
| 22:04 | <@Derakon> | Vorn: a hah! Awesome. |
| 22:05 | | * TheWatcher eyes that 'css 2.1', umms |
| 22:06 | <@Derakon> | It works! In FF3, anyway. |
| 22:06 | <@Derakon> | And since this page is not for public consumption, I needn't worry about browser compatibility. |
| 22:06 | <@TheWatcher> | Ah, 'kay |
| 22:06 | <@TheWatcher> | I was about to say ¬¬ |
| 22:07 | | * TheWatcher eyes this SQL, ughs |
| 22:07 | <@Derakon> | After all, I initially set out to do this in LaTeX before realizing that my knowledge of it was hopelessly stale. |
| 22:13 | <@TheWatcher> | Okay, I know I'm missing something here, but can't for the life of me thing what: I have one table 'conversions' and another table 'ingredients', both have an 'ingredient' column, and I want to pull out distinct matches of 'Something%' in the ingredient columns from both. But 'SELECT DISTINCT ingredient FROM conversions,ingredients WHERE ingredient LIKE ?' won't work because it'll complain about 'ingredient' being ambiguous. |
| 22:14 | <@Derakon> | You want to find all ingredients, in either ingredients or conversions, that match some pattern? |
| 22:14 | <@TheWatcher> | yeah |
| 22:14 | <@Derakon> | Your problem is that "ingredient" can refer to conversions.ingredient or ingredients.ingredient. |
| 22:14 | <@TheWatcher> | I know |
| 22:15 | <@Vornicus> | use a union |
| 22:15 | <@simontwo> | how about WHERE conversions.ingredient LIKE 'Something%' OR ingredients.ingredient LIKE 'Something%'. alternatively you could join them first, but I don't know much about DBMS optimizations to know which is faster. |
| 22:15 | <@Derakon> | So I think what you need is "select con.ingredient as i1, ing.ingredient from conversions con as i2, ingredients ing where i1 like pattern or i2 like pattern" |
| 22:15 | <@Derakon> | Er, move the "as i2" to where it should be. |
| 22:16 | <@Derakon> | That gets you two columns, of course. |
| 22:16 | <@Derakon> | You'd have to join the tables to get it as one column. |
| 22:17 | <@TheWatcher> | I may just make a table that caches all ingredient names anyway, for speed. |
| 22:19 | <@TheWatcher> | I'm doing this from a script invoked by ajax suggest dropdown code, so keeping it simpler is probably a good idea. |
| 22:20 | | * Derakon nods. |
| 22:20 | <@Derakon> | Rename the existing "ingredients" table and make a new "ingredients" table that maps ingredient names to IDs, which are used throughout the rest of the DB? |
| 22:20 | <@TheWatcher> | Yeah |
| 22:21 | <@TheWatcher> | the existing one should probably be recipe_ingreds anyway |
| 23:14 | | * TheWatcher eyes, tries to work out where he can shove this code, sighs, makes another module |
| 23:22 | <@Vornicus> | argwtf |
| 23:22 | | * Vornicus bites, well, he's not sure who to bite for this one. Possibly MS, possibly HP, possibly Apple. |
| 23:23 | <@TheWatcher> | What's up? |
| 23:23 | <@Vornicus> | HP PSC 1400 series printer, hooked up to my Mac. Sharing the printer. With wil's mac it shares fine; with amanda's pc it does not. |
| 23:24 | <@Vornicus> | I can't find the printer in the list of drivers on the pc; inserting the disk and using "have disk" gives a "I can't find the file". |
| 23:28 | <@TheWatcher> | Hm. Does the printer actually show up on the network neighbourhood thing on the PC at all? |
| 23:29 | <@Vornicus> | It does. |
| 23:29 | <@Vornicus> | I also know that the drivers exist on the disc and are actually already on the PC: The printer is Amanda's. |
| 23:32 | <@Vornicus> | (but her computer is a laptop; we decided that the printer being attached to a desktop is the best plan.) |
| 23:38 | <@Vornicus> | Got it. Correct drivers are the PostScript drivers, as I would have noted if I'd finished reading the Apple printer sharing article. |
| 23:38 | <@Vornicus> | Okay, now everybody can print. |

| 23:57 | <@McMartin> | Apple Color LaserWriter II is the One True Windows PostScript Driver. |
| 23:59 | <@Vornicus> | Heh |
| 23:59 | <@Vornicus> | I used the Adobe Generic one. |
