[03:30:03] <Bytram> ~eds can't stay awake -- time for bed.
[03:30:04] <exec> editor ping for Bytram (reason: can't stay awake -- time for bed.): janrinok n1 nick Bytram cmn32480 coolhand takyon bytram|away Fnord666 FatPhil mrpg chromas fyngyrz
[03:35:13] <Bytram> Bega /away
[11:39:33] <chromas> We're not doing weekend spacing?
[12:11:17] <Bytram> chromas: oops. command history must have brought up my time-to-release calculator with the wrong delta. :(
[12:11:36] <Bytram> really need to see DeltaT on the story list page
[12:18:14] <Bytram> working on it...
[12:22:36] <Bytram> that should do it!
[12:23:37] <chromas> I put the times into the command runner box in kde and it maths it, but it doesn't output in time format :(
[12:24:41] <chromas> I put in "15:30-12:48" and it tells me 2.7
[12:25:58] <Bytram> I wrote a batch program a while ago that pulls down the story list and then, using awk, displays the release date/times along with the delta (in minutes) between stories
[12:26:00] <Bytram> =)
[12:26:23] <chromas> Too fancy for me
[12:26:42] <chromas> Does it scrape the web page or do an sql?
[12:27:18] <Bytram> I looked at the site perl code a while back, and I *think* all the necessary data is there, but not in a convenient format to access "on the fly" as it iterates through and outputs each story's info...
[12:27:40] <Bytram> need to see data about the *nexT8 story (release date/time) while woreking on this story's
[12:27:46] <Bytram> scrape
[12:28:29] <Bytram> as part of mty site testing for Unicode supprt, I implemented wrappers around a bunch of the SN API thingies
[12:28:51] <Bytram> one form of which allows me to send a random URL and get the resonse as if I were a user
[12:29:09] <Bytram> depending on which cookie file I use, I can be martyb, Bytram, or AC
[12:29:16] <Bytram> =)
[12:30:47] <Bytram> anyway, unless I missed something, the story list should now show weekend spacing: 2h21m +/- 5m
[12:30:51] <Bytram> =)

[15:24:56] -!- cosurgi [cosurgi!~cosurgi@Soylent/Staff/Misc/cosurgi] has joined #editorial
[16:20:29] <fyngyrz> Seems to me that story spacing could be automated. Just a thought.
