[01:20:09] <Le_Prolongateur> Sup fellas.
[01:22:33] <sea> Soup.
[01:22:51] <Le_Prolongateur> Soup sounds good. Split-pea with bacon bits?

[01:24:19] <Le_Prolongateur> New comedy gold in the submission queue.
[01:26:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> paulej72, not really, it's a pretty easy select then proper filtering. ordering by thread would be complicated but we don't really need to do that until people start asking for it.
[01:26:18] * Le_Prolongateur bookmarks chronicle.su
[01:26:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> sup, EF
[01:26:32] <Le_Prolongateur> sup Buzzard, Pauley if listenting
[01:26:35] <sea> I'm trying to map SoylentNews stories into a MUSH
[01:27:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> strange and unusual. try using the API
[01:27:13] * sea navigates the maze of stories and twisty corridors while blasting anonymous cowards into oblivion
[01:27:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's by no means complete but it's working for the moment
[01:27:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> http://wiki.soylentnews.org
[01:27:53] <exec> └─ 13ApiDocs - SoylentNews [04Apidocs - SoylentNews]
[01:29:55] <Le_Prolongateur> huh, I think I'll code something that works with the API
[01:30:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> make sure n randomly change words to curse words if you do
[01:31:36] <NCommander> TheMightyBuzzard, so API was installed by accident when everything was copied over from dev
[01:31:41] * NCommander can instal it properly or remove it
[01:31:56] <NCommander> Le_Prolongateur, if you can make it work, I won't be against hosting your MUSH on SN servres
[01:32:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> ahh
[01:32:16] <NCommander> TheMightyBuzzard, basically the files were in the right place, so it just "worked"
[01:32:19] <Le_Prolongateur> NCommander, sea is the MUSH guy, not me.
[01:32:24] <NCommander> oops
[01:32:27] <NCommander> sea, see above
[01:32:30] <NCommander> Sorry, long day
[01:32:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, oopsie
[01:32:37] <Le_Prolongateur> I'll probably just make some easy C# GUI thing that no real nerd would be interested in.
[01:32:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh well, in that case practice up on dev. the api is supposed to be working on it.
[01:32:57] <NCommander> Le_Prolongateur, well, that mightbe interesting when we roll out user-created nexuses (think subreddits)
[01:33:27] <NCommander> sea, the one thing I think about with MUSHs though is: foot yourself shoot
[01:33:41] <NCommander> forth is the RPN of programming languages
[01:34:44] <Le_Prolongateur> RPN is bitchin' once you get the hang of it.
[01:35:50] <NCommander> I honest perfer forth to perl
[01:36:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> heresy!
[01:36:41] -!- marco_trunks has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
[01:36:55] <NCommander> TheMightyBuzzard, if it wasn't Oracle-d I'd prefer Java to Perl
[01:37:17] <Le_Prolongateur> (I'll probably bang something out later in C#, quick and dirty, and if there's interest/demand I can port it to Java)
[01:37:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> now you're just making up names for programming languages
[01:37:24] <Le_Prolongateur> Somebody here admitting to liking Java?!
[01:37:30] <Le_Prolongateur> Now THAT's Heresy.
[01:37:40] <sea> Is Java a real type of coffee?
[01:37:51] <sea> Just saying because I'm engaged in a campaign to drink every kind of coffee there is.
[01:38:42] <NCommander> Le_Prolongateur, compared to perl
[01:38:54] <NCommander> Though perl has grown on me somewhat. That or stockholm syndrome
[01:39:11] <NCommander> I suppose it helps that rehash is actually archtected unlike most perl shit I've worked with
[01:40:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> most every shit i've worked with has been mix-n-matched generations of coders slapping ugly hacks on top of other peoples' ugly hacks.
[01:40:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> rehash is easy by comparison.
[01:40:48] <NCommander> TheMightyBuzzard, well, I deleted a lot of the stupid
[01:41:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> if only you could do that to my family
[01:41:14] <NCommander> CmdrTaco, purge, CowboyNeal, and the original authors actually had some idea what they were doing
[01:41:38] <NCommander> The second generation seemed to have disdained the MVC design and did a lot of ugly hacks
[01:41:50] <NCommander> That was the dev team that brought you firehose, and D2.
[01:41:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> pudge's stuff is generally good but i've wanted to smack him a time or three
[01:42:01] <NCommander> And tags
[01:42:04] * Le_Prolongateur misses pudge
[01:42:14] <NCommander> My god, tags. How overly covoluted could you deisgn a feature
[01:42:38] <NCommander> Le_Prolongateur, CmdrTaco and CowboyNeal are aware of us.
[01:42:46] <NCommander> We're in contact w/ CowboyNeal
[01:42:58] <NCommander> He actually sent us an apology when he found out we were woring with slash :)
[01:44:01] <Le_Prolongateur> I wouldn't be the least bit surprised. I wondered if the whole thing was actually taco and neal doing slash better as a pet project now that they did the whole fame and fortune thing.
[01:44:44] <NCommander> Le_Prolongateur, well, Slashdot sold themselves to Andover with promises that they would have complete editoral control and such
[01:46:00] <Le_Prolongateur> I meant a "consipracy theory" that Taco and Neal were involved with SN, returning to their roots and doing what they did before, only better.
[01:46:02] <NCommander> Le_Prolongateur, It was Neal at beginning
[01:46:07] <NCommander> *wasn't
[01:46:15] <NCommander> Starts with an H, can't remember their handle
[01:46:21] <Le_Prolongateur> Hemos, Jeff bates
[01:46:23] <NCommander> Bingo
[01:46:24] <NCommander> THat was it
[01:46:30] <NCommander> DICE broke the authors page on Slashdot
[01:46:35] <NCommander> http://slashdot.org
[01:46:38] <exec> └─ 13Slashdot: Authors
[01:47:04] <NCommander> Give slashdot still running on APache 2.2.3, I'm honestly convinced DHI has no one who knows how the thing goes together
[01:47:09] <Le_Prolongateur> Hahah, Slashdot is terrible now. They moved the "red more" button and put in its place a "share" button (probably to get users to click it out of habit or something)
[01:47:28] <Le_Prolongateur> s/red/read/g
[01:47:28] <sedctl> <Le_Prolongateur> Hahah, Slashdot is terrible now. They moved the "read more" button and put in its place a "share" button (probably to get users to click it out of habit or something)
[01:48:27] <NCommander> Le_Prolongateur, editing the UI is pretty trivial, there's a pretty decent template editor cooked right into the thing. My guess its running as a black box on DHI's servers
[01:48:52] <Le_Prolongateur> One of those situations where they don't touch it because they'll likely break the whole thing if they do.
[01:49:32] <NCommander> Le_Prolongateur, won't be suprised. We're in contact with BarraPunto and they basically ran into the same problem. No one knows how the silly thing works because the documenation was 14 years out of date
[01:50:21] <NCommander> Le_Prolongateur, I'd like to get in contact with slashdot.jp/srad.jp since they appear to be in the same boat, but I can't find a native Japanese speaker
[01:50:33] * NCommander can speak Spanish (poorly) enough to make initial contact
[01:50:44] <Le_Prolongateur> SN should "adopt" BarraPunto
[01:51:05] <NCommander> Le_Prolongateur, we actually offered, but they want to keep their stuff in the EU. I can't blame them.
[01:51:22] * SirFinkus knows a jp translator that owes him a favor
[01:51:24] <SirFinkus> just sayin
[01:51:41] <NCommander> SirFinkus, PM me your email and I'll give you the English draft.
[01:51:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> i can say "the cat is napping" and "give me coffee" in japanese
[01:52:13] <NCommander> I didn't consider approaching slashdot.jp until recently. They had a falling out with DICE and made a clean break.
[01:52:53] <Le_Prolongateur> Good to hear that Slashdot JP didn't fall for drinking the kool-aid.
[01:52:59] <Le_Prolongateur> There is hope for humaity yet.
[01:53:05] <SirFinkus> they're brown now
[01:53:11] <SirFinkus> uglier than the red
[01:53:25] <NCommander> Interesting
[01:53:35] <NCommander> DICE owns slashcode.com. I'm amazed they haven't pulled the plug
[01:53:49] <NCommander> But it MIGHT be hosted on the slashdot infrastructure using multisite mode in the codebase
[01:54:06] <Le_Prolongateur> NCommander...why would they, they can get revenue from the Malware in the installs
[01:54:16] <NCommander> Le_Prolongateur, Slashcode.com hasn't been touched since 2009
[01:54:31] <NCommander> someone keeps renewing the domain though
[01:54:53] * NCommander hrms
[01:54:58] * NCommander runs a check on slashcode
[01:55:25] <SirFinkus> hmm, that's new I think
[01:55:35] <SirFinkus> looks like srad.jp lets you vote on submissions
[01:55:58] * Le_Prolongateur browses some source files in SoylentNews/slashcode
[01:56:11] <NCommander> SirFinkus, that's firehose
[01:56:19] <SirFinkus> oh
[01:56:28] <NCommander> SirFinkus, BarraPunto has it as well, but our fork had it mostly broken so I deleted it
[01:56:33] <NCommander> Ha
[01:56:34] <SirFinkus> I only lurked on /.
[01:56:35] <NCommander> I was right
[01:56:44] <NCommander> Apache/2.2.15 CentOS
[01:57:32] <NCommander> Someone actually updated slashcode to the Apache2 fork GeekNet did
[01:57:45] <NCommander> but never updated the templates or open tree
[01:59:01] <NCommander> I read some comments on the /. Apache2 fork, it looks lik a contracter did the port using Apache::compat
[02:00:11] <NCommander> I honestly wonder what goes on in DICE, given what they did to sourceforge, slashdot, and the rest
[02:01:01] <Le_Prolongateur> I just saw the exact same thing with my previous employer, and the one before that, NCommander.
[02:01:11] <NCommander> Le_Prolongateur, I used to work for Canonical
[02:01:15] * NCommander leaves it at that
[02:01:40] <NCommander> I ragequit out of tech, and went and got my EMT certification, and am job hunting for an ambulance corp now
[02:01:54] <SirFinkus> that's quite the uturn NCommander
[02:02:05] <Le_Prolongateur> Yeah, that's pretty amazing
[02:02:11] <NCommander> SirFinkus, actually, that was where I was before Canonical came with a job offer I couldn't say no to
[02:02:30] <NCommander> I got fed up with IT programs at RIT, so I changed my major to criminal justice and just did some dev work on Ubuntu on the side
[02:02:45] <SirFinkus> heh, I'm probably running some of your code right now
[02:02:47] <Le_Prolongateur> NCommander, it would certainly offer more excitement...but you're gonna be seeing a lot of bad situations there.
[02:02:49] <SirFinkus> neat
[02:03:09] <Le_Prolongateur> NCommander, criminal justice is a good stepping stone into Law.
[02:03:39] <SirFinkus> I can't imagine a more frustrating job than anything in law
[02:03:39] <Le_Prolongateur> You would have to study with snakes and weasels but after you graduate SN won't need to pay a lawyer because they'd have one.
[02:03:46] <SirFinkus> it'd be a nightmare
[02:03:47] <NCommander> Le_Prolongateur, I was a firefighter
[02:03:55] <NCommander> Trust me, I know what I'm getting into
[02:04:04] <Le_Prolongateur> Ah, gotcha.
[02:04:38] <SirFinkus> maybe teaching
[02:05:31] <Le_Prolongateur> SirFinkus, I wouldn't recommend teaching any age group below the college level, and even that's becoming bogus because of the excessive PC in American colleges.
[02:05:44] <SirFinkus> college age sounds even worse

[02:05:47] <Bender> Added quote 540
[02:05:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> for the famous last words file

[02:09:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> aright folks. i'm to bed. gotta get back on the rehash coding tomorrow mornin.
[02:09:35] <Ethanol-fueled> Later buzzard. I'll probably get started on a quick and dirty standalone API interface gadget thingy tomorrow.
[02:10:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> Ethanol-fueled, point it to dev for now. nc or pj may be putting the api back in mothballs at any moment on the production server.
[02:10:28] <Ethanol-fueled> understood.
[02:16:13] <Ethanol-fueled> This is a troll submission, by the way. https://soylentnews.org
[02:16:18] <exec> └─ 13Appelbaum expelled from WikiLeaks after OPM hack reveals Tor is funded by US Navy: SoylentNews Submission
[02:16:33] <Ethanol-fueled> But I gotta thank the submitter for showing me a new comedy faux-news site.
[02:17:26] <NCommander> ugh
[02:17:29] <NCommander> system crash
[02:19:01] <sea> I don't trust the US navy..they parked a submarine nearby once and I think they bought all of the ham in town.
[02:19:14] * NCommander wants to prove SN is serious on its commitment to its mission and help folks where we can
[02:20:46] <Ethanol-fueled> Wireshark starts up much faster on Linux than Windows. Oh, but it didn't detect any interfaces. *Groan*, like it's 2002 again.
[02:24:01] <Ethanol-fueled> sea, I've worked with a lot of former sailors. Surface navy backstab everybody, Submariners backstap everybody but other submariners.
[02:24:49] <Ethanol-fueled> In short, never trust any former sailors you may work with.
[02:25:27] <Ethanol-fueled> There's a lot of political backstabbing that goes on with Submariners in particular, especially in the senior NCO ranks where they're all jockeying for the slots.
[02:25:46] <SirFinkus> sounds sexy
[02:26:49] <Ethanol-fueled> you can trust the ones who do their four or six and then get out. But if they've been in 8 years or over, they've already internalized the behavior.
[02:30:00] <Ethanol-fueled> Test
[02:30:15] <Landon> is backstab a euphemism?
[02:30:19] <Landon> I'm never sure with Ethanol-fueled
[02:30:51] <Ethanol-fueled> As an example I've experienced, an SOB stole my idea, even down the layout of the presentation, then presented it as his own.
[02:31:09] <Ethanol-fueled> only he did it with an excel spreadsheet since he didn't know how to code.
[02:32:16] <Ethanol-fueled> I made the remainder of his subsequent employment there very very uncomfortable.
[02:33:06] <NCommander> Ethanol-fueled, sudo wireshark
[02:33:16] <Ethanol-fueled> NCommander, I already did.
[02:33:23] <NCommander> Ethanol-fueled, tcpdump installed?
[02:33:28] * Ethanol-fueled prefers sudo -i because lazy
[02:33:55] <Ethanol-fueled> No, I meant, I did sudo Wireshark and it works correctly
[02:34:00] <NCommander> Ethanol-fueled, oh :)
[02:34:18] <Ethanol-fueled> That's what happens when one comes too late to the Linux game
[02:34:29] <NCommander> Ethanol-fueled, honestly, unless you can honestly say you trust your superior and his, and his, etc. to do the right thing, its always doomed to failure
[02:34:41] <sea> Does anyone have some ideas for forcing my ISP to move its damn feet on IPv6 adoption? I just got CNAT'd last week saturday and now they're saying I have to increase my monthly bill 1.6x to give me a static IP so that I can continue to ssh into my home system from work.
[02:34:52] <NCommander> sea, no luck there, but I have a solution
[02:35:00] <NCommander> sea, well two
[02:35:15] <sea> I'm using a linode VPS and IPv6 over openVPN to give myself IPv6 connectivity and get around my ISP's silliness.
[02:35:18] <NCommander> sea, IPv6 tunnel, gets you a permament endpoint (I do that at home), or Tor hidden service, and just connect via onion
[02:35:46] <Ethanol-fueled> Agreed, NCommander
[02:36:11] <NCommander> Ethanol-fueled, none of you folks would work on SN if you didn't have faith in me. Which is wh yI'm a fucking hardliner on doing the "right" thing
[02:37:20] <Ethanol-fueled> Yup, that's true.
[02:37:48] <NCommander> Ethanol-fueled, were you around before I took over?

[02:38:08] <Ethanol-fueled> I came around right before the Barrabas spectacle, I believe, and I saw it unfold.
[02:38:36] <NCommander> yeah
[02:38:43] * NCommander shakes his head
[02:39:24] <Ethanol-fueled> I didn't understand it much at first, but that you enumerated your beliefs very clearly and specifically gave me confidence.
[02:39:26] * NCommander has put some thought on who should supersede me if I need to step down for whatever reason.
[02:40:04] <NCommander> Ethanol-fueled, well, that was what marked the start of always airing our dirty landury
[02:40:08] <Ethanol-fueled> NCommander, if that ever happened, that would leave only me to write the novels. And mine are chaotic neutral as opposed to your lawful good.
[02:40:27] <crutchy_> sea, regarding per story rss feed, i might be able to make something kinda work using a bit of wackery hackery. exec already has a little sql db of SN comments (shh don't tell the hierarchy)
[02:40:27] <NCommander> WHat's funny is I usually play Chaotic Good
[02:40:36] <NCommander> Because when I play as a paladin, I tend to be lawful stupid
[02:41:08] <NCommander> Course, D&D. Linear warriors, quadratic wizards
[02:41:11] <Ethanol-fueled> sup crutchy
[02:41:35] <NCommander> crutchy_, honestly, at some point I'd love to make DB dumps available
[02:42:29] * NCommander not going to do any coding tonight
[02:42:52] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - HTTPS Defects in Dozens of Android Apps Expose User Passwords - http://sylnt.us - opposite-day
[02:44:11] <crutchy_> g'day Ethanol-fueled
[02:44:12] <ciri> greetings crutchy_
[02:45:23] <crutchy_> i'll have a squiz at tweaking the comments feed. might be fairly simple to bash out some kind of rss feed that hooks into exec's db. prolly won't be the most elegant solution though
[02:45:28] <crutchy_> (or most available)
[02:47:02] <cmn32480|afk> NCommander - the ritual airing of dirty laundry is part of what makes this site special. I've never seen it any other place with such regularity that wasn't ready to shut the doors.
[02:47:47] <cmn32480|afk> here, for this site, with this community, it is a good thing.
[02:48:23] <Ethanol-fueled> Any person or entity that is transparent is not only more trustworthy, but allows its friends or citizens a better opportunity to correct the flaws.
[02:48:32] <Ethanol-fueled> Because they're aware of them.
[02:48:41] cmn32480|afk is now known as cmn32480
[02:50:05] <crutchy_> cmn32480, around here we only air dirty undies... cos they help keep the flies off our bacon++
[02:50:37] <Ethanol-fueled> Ethanol-fueled, the first self-airing dirty underwear.
[02:51:09] -!- crutchy_ has quit [Quit: Web client closed]
[02:51:15] <Ethanol-fueled> underwear--
[02:51:15] <Bender> karma - underwear: -1
[02:52:04] <cmn32480> i think EF is correct a few lines up. the transparency makes the staff be trusted that we care, and that we are trying our very best to do the right thing. And I think, to the man, we all are doing our very best.
[02:54:38] <NCommander> cmn32480, one day we're going to run out of landury
[02:55:17] <cmn32480> golly I hope so NCommander! maybe we can start airing the clean stuff instead :-)
[02:55:32] <sea> The laundrocalyptic changeover
[02:55:42] <NCommander> cmn32480, we get Ethanol-fueled sober, then put him on the flagpoll
[02:56:01] <Ethanol-fueled> I don't get it, NCommander.
[02:56:20] <cmn32480> I think you ARE the dirty laundry Ethanol-Fueled!
[02:56:43] <cmn32480> either that or Ncommander wants to give you a 40 foot wedgie
[02:57:40] <Ethanol-fueled> Ah, got it.
[02:57:51] <NCommander> cmn32480, we're civilized people here
[02:57:55] <NCommander> We use fucking metric :P
[02:58:34] <cmn32480> either that or Ncommander wants to give you a 12.192 meter wedgie
[02:58:47] <cmn32480> my sincerest apologies NCommander
[02:59:28] <NCommander> cmn32480, excellent. As long as I don't have to give the "We obey the law of thermodynamics" speech, we're good
[02:59:47] <cmn32480> but NCommander, my car gets 40 rods to the Hogshead and that's the way I likes it!
[03:01:20] <NCommander> cmn32480, I'm just waiting for you and Mr. Burns to figure out who gets the stolen art
[03:01:40] <Ethanol-fueled> Wasn't it the German with the sportscar?
[03:01:45] <Ethanol-fueled> Playing bad techno music?
[03:02:07] <Ethanol-fueled> Maybe he was Swedish. But man, was that some bad techno.
[03:02:12] <cmn32480> Until we figure it out, I'll just wear this onion on my belt, as it is the style of the time.
[03:02:15] <NCommander> Ethanol-fueled, that was Super Troopers

[13:06:57] <janrinok> I'm OK, S has another hospital appt this afternoon so we are just waiting the arrival of the ambulance. Nothing serious today, just preparation for major surgery in a few weeks/months time
[13:08:33] <CoolHand> ah, ok.. well, I hope the preparations go well, then..

[13:13:49] <janrinok> sry - ambulance just arrive so S has gone now
[13:14:31] <janrinok> we are having a much-needed light shower at present - the garden was looking a little bit too dry
[13:23:47] <CoolHand> heh, don't have that problem around here.. it's rained every day the last week (some heavily)
[13:26:20] <janrinok> it's been raining for about an hour or so and the plants are looking much happier already.
[13:26:48] <CoolHand> good.. happy plants are nice..
[13:27:17] <janrinok> I was working on my storybot yesterday - have a basic working version now. On average, it can produce around 200+ stories per day!
[13:27:51] <janrinok> that is scraping either the rss-bot logs or live straight from rss-bot
[13:28:38] <janrinok> now working on trying to identify probable topics and nexuses automatically
[13:29:42] <janrinok> unfortunately, it can't tell good stories from bad, so I might just limit the number of sources that it accepts to try to ensure the quality
[13:35:55] <sea> Oooh, storybot. Groovy. Does it submit all of those to the queue for voting and stuff?
[13:37:09] <janrinok> not yet, and if it did it would swamp the queue. Many of the stories are still unsuitable because the program cannot tell good from bad. So there is still quite a way to go and they will still need editing before release.
[13:38:24] <janrinok> we are still looking at ways of automatically deleting stories after a specific time period, and I'm currently working on word searches to try to identify stories of interest. Sounds simple but is not as easy as I had hoped.
[13:40:49] <sea> I think it would be easier to identify stories that aren't interesting. Remove everything with 'political' words in it.
[13:41:49] <janrinok> at first glance yes. Then I realise that all of the laws that affect technology and its use are produced by politicians and they are most certainly stories of interest.
[13:42:03] <sea> Also anything containing a buzzword. If something includes the phrase 'the cloud' more than once, ban the entire site cluster it came from forever
[13:42:28] <sea> and optionally, launch a nuke at the site owners' headquarters.
[13:51:00] <sea> Okie, off to work again. I'm attempting to organize the workers at my office into kicking out the bosses. He never does anything, not even marketing or negotiation or whatever, but he makes 8x more money than the most senior lead programmer.
[13:51:22] <janrinok> well, good luck with that!
[13:51:27] <janrinok> have a good one
[13:51:33] <sea> There should be a law that says the boss isn't allowed to make more money than the least paid worker.
[13:51:36] <sea> Yeah, ciao!

[14:35:36] <cmn32480> I'm glad to hear it is nothing serious. just a post checkup I assume?
[14:35:56] <cmn32480> I had an interesting question posed here last night.
[14:36:10] <cmn32480> can you buy a gift subscription for AC?
[14:36:12] <janrinok> well, preparation for major surgery in a few weeks/months time, but at present only a consultation so she is cool about it
[14:36:25] <paulej72> yes you can buy a gift sub as AC
[14:36:37] <cmn32480> FOR AC... not AS AC
[14:36:52] <janrinok> you can't be an anonymous member
[14:36:55] <paulej72> no AC's cannot be a sub
[14:37:11] <paulej72> there is only one AC
[14:37:26] <janrinok> .. sounds like the tag line to a movie!
[14:37:36] <janrinok> there can be _only_ one!
[14:37:38] <paulej72> as far as the DB is concerned and it sould never have sub privs
[14:38:06] <janrinok> paulej72: have you got a moment for some advice pse?
[14:38:17] <paulej72> a moment sure
[14:39:10] <janrinok> how difficult would it be to create a second hidden submission queue? My bot would swampt the existing queue which would deter other submitters.
[14:39:19] <janrinok> I need something that is only seen by eds
[14:39:38] <cmn32480> it was a question raised last night, and I was curious about the answer
[14:40:21] <CoolHand> janrinok: refine that a big further, and you'll put all the editors out of jobs... :)
[14:40:38] <janrinok> nah, it can't tell good stories from bad!
[14:40:47] <janrinok> oh, wait a minute.....
[14:41:23] <CoolHand> :)
[14:41:24] <paulej72> anything is doable, the code is there it would be a matter of making it work with two queues. It seems like it would require a bitof work. The other option is to see if we can make it work with a hidden nexus.
[14:42:07] <janrinok> that's a good suggestion - haven't thought it through but it seems like a good way round the problem
[14:42:44] <cmn32480> editors out of the job!!! WOO HOO!!!!!!
[14:42:56] <janrinok> paulej72: and if you see funny things happening on the sub queue on dev, it is probably me trying to get my prog to submit directly
[14:43:21] <janrinok> should be simple but its all new to me
[14:43:45] <janrinok> cmn32480: don't worry, it will not affect your editor's pay!
[14:43:55] <cmn32480> damnit!
[14:44:10] <paulej72> janrinok: not sure if TheMightyBuzzard's api has submit fucntions yet, but that may be a way to go as well.
[14:44:25] <paulej72> OK I am off to setup a computer in another building bbl
