[11:24:40] <AndyTheAbsurd> I need to read that Hugo article
[11:24:52] <AndyTheAbsurd> since I didn't get to go to worldcon this year :(
[11:25:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's a trollbait article
[11:25:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> by which i mean there's not going to be much rational discussion happening about it
[11:27:14] * TheMightyBuzzard wanders out to get stuff done
[11:28:32] <AndyTheAbsurd> holy shit
[11:28:46] <AndyTheAbsurd> most of the nominees fro Best Nevelette mush have been terrible
[11:29:27] <AndyTheAbsurd> ...unless this article is just listing winner first and others in alphabetical order, instead of listing them in order of number of votes.
[11:34:07] <AndyTheAbsurd> Looks like it was doing it alphabetically. Actually voting put "No Award" right above "Alien Stripper Boned From Behind By The T-Rex" by Stix Hiscock.

[11:38:26] * TheMightyBuzzard wanders back in to check the weather
[11:38:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> #weather
[11:38:32] <MrPlow> Today: Some clouds and possibly an isolated thunderstorm this afternoon. High near 90F. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 30%. Tomorrow: Scattered showers and thunderstorms. High 87F. Winds SW at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 60%.
[11:39:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> well shit. looks like i'm mowing as soon as the grass dries up
[11:40:08] <AndyTheAbsurd> parts of my lawn are about eighteen inches high
[11:40:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> ye gads man, wtf?
[11:40:39] <AndyTheAbsurd> Florida in the summer, man.
[11:41:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> if mine hits over four inches i'll damned well mow in the rain
[11:41:10] <AndyTheAbsurd> Intense sunshine for most of the daylight hours; plus generally somewhere between 30 and 90 minutes of rain; every day.
[11:42:10] <AndyTheAbsurd> That's literally only a week and a half of growth (I was lazy this past weekend).
[11:42:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> have i mentioned lately that i love my town? you let your yard get over six inches tall and the city comes around, mows it, and tacks the bill onto your utility bill.
[11:43:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> so even the ghetto houses have well kept yards
[11:43:23] <AndyTheAbsurd> #weather 33713
[11:43:24] <MrPlow> Today: Partly cloudy with isolated thunderstorms possible. High near 90F. Winds NW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 30%. Tomorrow: Mostly cloudy skies. Scattered thunderstorms during the morning. High 89F. Winds NNW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 50%.
[11:45:50] * TheMightyBuzzard looks lovingly at his happy cat6 cable coming from his computer
[11:45:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> FU, wireless
[11:46:13] <AndyTheAbsurd> MrPlow forgot to mention that it's also 95% relative humidity.
[11:46:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, he only gives the textual summary that wunderground writes up
[11:47:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> seemed easier
[11:48:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> 24GB file transfer and it's going to take less than that many minutes. wireless can suck it.

[12:02:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> better'n #weather
[12:03:48] <AndyTheAbsurd> which is funny, since from what you said, they're both using the Wunderground API.
[12:04:12] <AndyTheAbsurd> my code for interpreting the responses is all kinds of janky, though.
[12:04:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> mine just reads the textual writeup they do themselves
[12:05:01] <AndyTheAbsurd> It's in Perl and I couldn't figure out the JSON decoder library I was trying to use, so I just did some dumb stuff with regex that *usually* works.
[12:05:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> ahhhh
[12:05:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> usually json->perl is fookin wicked simple
[12:05:54] -!- AbsurdBot has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[12:06:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> just makes a hash or array ref out of it depending on what kind of json is returned.
[12:06:28] <AndyTheAbsurd> Yeah, I ended up figuring it out later, but I haven't gotten back to work on the bot for a while.
[12:06:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> the data structures should be pretty much identical
[12:06:51] <AndyTheAbsurd> Might try to do that a bit tonight at the local LUG meeting
[12:07:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> i should start one of them up but i'm not really a U anymore so much as an A
[12:07:50] <AndyTheAbsurd> I've forgotten what exactly I was doing wrong but I'm pretty sure it was something stupid.
[12:08:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> it generally is
[12:08:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> unless your library writer is trying to outsmart himself
[12:10:20] <AndyTheAbsurd> oh gods someone help me
[12:10:33] <AndyTheAbsurd> I have to create HTML for an e-mail newsletter :(
[12:11:04] <Bytram> ASCII text within <p> and </p> is HTML =)
[12:11:29] <AndyTheAbsurd> true...unfortunately that will not be acceptable to my client.

[12:12:54] <Bytram> change your client -- not get a new client, change their expectations? What do they want to gain by using HTML? See if you can winnow it down to something more maintainable.

[12:15:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> a newsletter needs more than ascii?
[12:16:20] <AndyTheAbsurd> We currently use PostUp to convert this page to an e-mail: http://www.tampabay.com But we're changing between CMSes, so I get the fun job of re-implementing the formatting in the new system.

[12:17:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> um, that already is html though
[12:18:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> curl it, replace the img links with base64 encoded images, bob's yer uncle.
[12:18:46] <AndyTheAbsurd> PostUp is handling (and will continue to handle) that part of it
[12:19:48] <AndyTheAbsurd> The issue is that the current page is built with HP Autonomy (now TeamSite, I think) and XSLT processing; the new CMS is completely different and has it's own scripting/transformation language.
[12:20:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh goody
[12:20:05] <AndyTheAbsurd> And there's a completely new set of articles every day.
[12:20:47] <Bytram> AndyTheAbsurd: FWIW... when I load that page ( http://www.tampabay.com ) the first link at the top of the page, "View as a web page" points to the same address the page is already on. ??
[12:20:48] <upstart> ^ 03Daystarter

[21:40:29] <boru> Have you much to mow?
[21:40:48] <Bytram> manual, push, or riding lawnmower?
[21:41:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> half an acre. dunno what that figures out to in hectares. riding, thank god.
[21:41:23] <Bytram> oh? that's a HUGE help!
[21:41:24] <boru> I'd carved about two acres out of a meadow back in .ie -- used to enjoy taking out the ride-on.
[21:41:34] <boru> Gave me enough time to smoke a cigar.
[21:41:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> weedeating can suck it for today though. it's hot and muggy as shit out there and i can always do it when it's cool in the morning.
[21:42:16] <boru> I have an old JD ride-on. I've only ever had to replace the PTO on it.
[21:42:34] <Bytram> Oh deere!
[21:42:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, the old ones last forever if you can find the odd little part for them.
[21:42:44] <boru> Replace it with another model's PTO, even. Took some machining and welding to get that on right.
[21:42:59] <boru> Had to go to the other side of Ireland for it!
[21:43:20] <boru> You might say, I had a lawn way to go.
[21:43:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> think i'll go get an early dinner and some post-mowing ice cream now and wait for some shade to hit the yard.
[21:43:38] <boru> Brought it back with meadow.
[21:43:57] <boru> That's 2-1, Bytram.
[21:45:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> back after food, much exercise, and a cold shower
