kanzureeric hunting went a long way in his follow-ups on his toolbook emails, i forgot that he proposed a coop too11:29
ybitwhat's with all this talk about commercialization of your designs in the the 'too commercial' thread, i think the discussion is becoming too commercial. what's the point of the machines? build stuff, if you need something build it, forget about having to make money for a little while, would ya.11:59
kanzurefenn, ybit, did either of you read pg 6-9 of http://adl.serveftp.org/papers/Compatibility%20issues%20for%20mechanical%20system%20modelling%20with%20standard%20components.pdf12:16
ybitkanzure: i haven't read it yet, it's on my todo list for today, along with a few other papers12:16
ybitit would be nice if the 'how to build a multimachine' had a listing of all the parts on one page13:12

kanzurerun that by me again please15:09
fenndon't worry about looking like a "real" website.. "web 2.0" is for hipsters15:10
kanzureshow me a non web2.0 website that is immensely popular15:10
fenngoogle15:11
kanzurebullshit15:11
fennwhat??15:11
kanzuretons and tons of ajax15:11
fennthey don't freak out over gradients and rounded corners15:11
kanzurenot on their front page maybe15:11
kanzurebut have you seen their control panels?15:11
fennand it "just works" if you dont have a fancy js browser15:11
kanzuresure no problem with that15:11
fennok.. how about craigslist15:12
kanzuremight have a gradient15:12
kanzurehttp://www.craigslist.org/styles/craigslist.css15:12
fennwell, whatever. it's a bunch of links to relevant pages15:12
kanzureah, nope15:12
* fenn fires up a browser that actually cares about other peoples' css15:13
kanzurethey have a dropshadow though15:13
fennfwiw i like the sifter.org interface15:14
genehackerit doesn't need to look pretty it just needs to be usable15:15
genehackerpretty comes later15:15
kanzureanyway i know it seems like i'm focusing on the layout a lot but you haven't seen web.py15:15
kanzureor if you have you're not complaining about it15:15
kanzure"civilization is built on the shoulders of giants, not your pocket book" <- patently false now that i think about it15:16
fennelaborate15:16
kanzureer taxes15:16
fennthere were taxes before civilization15:16
kanzuretaxes do not a civilization make15:16
kanzurenow i'm confused15:16
kanzuregoodbye15:16
kanzurehm that car alarm is annoying15:20
kanzurehttp://adl.serveftp.org/~bryan/screenshots/2009-11-02-omnifab.png15:21
kanzuremissing step: build15:23
kanzurefenn: try reloading in the pig. maybe it looks better now?15:37
ybitkanzure: icons: http://ybit.ath.cx/omnifab/images/15:43
* ybit is afk for another 30 mins, blah15:44
ybitkanzure: are you planning on converting test.html into a cheetah tmpl anytime soon?16:19
ybithere's a simple login http://ybit.ath.cx/omnifab/auth.py16:29
ybiti was thinking that it would be a good idea to allow users during registration to state their personal preferences and what inventory they have16:30
ybitthey could elect to make their info private or public, and they can import or export their inventory list16:31
ybits/preferences/information16:35
kanzureybit: just cat test.html >> templates/IndexTemplate.tmpl16:55
kanzureauth.py 404 16:56
ybitkanzure: was afk17:08
ybiti removed auth.py, it was crap17:08
ybits/was/is17:08
ybitstill working on it17:08
ybitone suggestion is to move the header to the left more17:12
ybithttp://ybit.ath.cx/images/of1.png17:12
ybitand the body as well17:13
kanzurewhat was auth.py?17:14
ybitkanzure: grr, fine: http://ybit.ath.cx/code/auth.py17:16
ybitwhat might be the problem here? http://ybit.ath.cx/images/of_test_download.png17:40
kanzurebkero: if i was to spend money on a server somewhere in the world, where should i dump dollars17:41
kanzureybit: margin-left on slide-images in general.css17:42
ybiti haven't touched the css yet, that was straight from adl17:42
ybitjavascripts/ included17:42
ybiti could do margin-right: 50%17:45
ybitbu that still doesn't explain why faq is missing and why all the funky positioning17:45
bkerokanzure: need a bit more description.  Do you want to colocate your own box?  What are your priorities?17:46
bkeroDo you just want a VM somewhere?17:46
ybiti bet i know why, it's probably using some of my other css files17:46
bkeroStockholm is a great choice, Florida and Portland are both cheap17:46
ybityup17:46
ybitit was using screen.css17:47
ybitspeaking of floriday, bkero, that server still hasn't arrived there?17:47
kanzurebkero: i need a shell and awesome bandwidth17:47
ybitflorida17:47
bkeroybit: arrives in seattle on the 5th17:47
kanzurei would like to be able to hae root privledges17:48
bkerokanzure: I can offer you a VM in sunny Portland for less than the leading competitor17:48
kanzureso i guess a dedicated box, or a vm box17:48
kanzurealright. what's the specs on the deal17:48
bkeroI'm switching colo providers at the moment but should be ready next week.17:49
bkerotens of gigs of space, a core or two, 512/1gb17:49
bkero10gb for your rootfs and access to a couple TB of shared space17:49
bkeroas much transfer as you can manage17:50
kanzurealright great17:52

kanzureblah i hope it won't be too much of a pita to integrate users on the website with the commit logs etc.18:49
kanzureoh right you can change them by the variables passed to git no?18:50
ybitkanzure: http://ybit.ath.cx/omnifab/test.html19:01
ybitlooks a lot better19:01
ybitthe formatting, but it still has a lot to go19:01
ybitanywho, i'm going to implement the login now19:02
kanzurea login to what?19:09
kanzure:p19:09
kanzurethere's nothing there19:09
ybitguess i should clarify, currenlty it's the registration where they can specify what hardware they have and personal details for the fun of it19:10
ybitbut if they register, they should be able to login, so, it's all of it :)19:10
kanzureum what representation of inventory have you made?19:16
kanzuresorry i think you're doing this backwards19:16
ybitnone, details can be filled in though me thinks19:21
kanzurewhat details19:21
ybitfor the inventory, e.g. a reprap and its components ("generic enough for you")  19:23
kanzureplease explain in terms of actual code what you want to do19:23
ybituser registers and selects which supported machines he or she has. this generates a inventory.yaml for that user. it's just that, a listing of what they have... and that's all i'm proposing19:25
ybitatm19:25
kanzurethey select it19:25
kanzurewhy19:25
ybitwhy not?19:26
kanzurebecause that could take forever19:26
ybitcould, but notice i said 'supported' machines19:26
ybitatm, i don't think skdb is going to support much19:26
kanzuresorry that's not scalable19:26
kanzurehow about you go with the original plan?19:26
kanzureof letting them type in the names of their tools?19:26
ybitand that is?19:26
ybitthey could do that too, i mentioned importing and exporting of inventory lists earlier19:27
kanzureso then how are you letting them select the parts/tools19:27
kanzuredid you fix the package view page or something?19:27
ybitif they can't find their piece of machinery in the list, they could always specify.19:27
kanzureblah19:27
ybita list19:27
kanzurewhere is this list coming from19:28
ybiti'm assuming someone will have to generate it19:28
kanzurewhy isn't it using PackageView19:28
kanzureor maybe it's just called Package in web.py19:28
ybitdammit. where do you specify your css in IndexTemplate.tmpl? I've tried /styles, ../styles, and just general.css19:40
ybitI've edited both IndexTemplate.tmpl and IndexTemplate.py19:40
kanzuresorry what?19:42
kanzureIndexTemplate.tmpl should be test.html basically19:42
kanzureit doesn't matter where styles/ is because that's the browser's concern19:43
kanzureto be honest this is why i don't like cherrypy19:43
kanzurei mean using the cherrypy server19:43
kanzureif we use apache we can have it look for the static files first and redirect anything else to cherrypy19:44
ybit19:42 < kanzure> IndexTemplate.tmpl should be test.html basically19:45
ybityep, it is19:45
ybitso is everything in the docstring for responde.write19:46
ybitrespond*19:46
kanzureyou should be able to ignore IndexTemplate.py19:46
ybitmaybe i should specify a virtual_path for styles? i don't know what the problem is19:54
kanzurethe problem is that cherrypy does not host static content19:54
kanzuremedia is static content imho19:54
ybiti'd think so as well, but is including a giant server like apache something we want?19:55
kanzurelighttpd?19:56
ybiti'm fine with that19:58
kanzuremaybe you should ask #cherrypy on oftc19:58
ybithttp://hostingfu.com/article/nginx-vs-lighttpd-for-a-small-vps19:59
ybithttp://superjared.com/entry/benching-lighttpd-vs-nginx-static-files/20:07
ybitthere's hardly a difference in either, nginx's community isn't bad as suggested in one of those links20:09
ybitmailing list is indeed where you will get the most help20:09
ybitright, so.. fenn..20:14
ybithttp://ybit.ath.cx/images/imogen_heap_what.cd.png20:14
ybittold ya so20:14
ybitnow who's bullshitting who? huh, huuh? :)20:15
ybithttp://ybit.ath.cx/omnifab/registration.html 21:49
ybitneed to create a privacy policy and terms of service21:49
ybitkanzure: what catptcha to use?21:49
kanzureybit: let's not21:50
kanzurefenn: what is yellow?21:50
ybitkanzure: what is your suggestion to block spam if not by captchas?21:52
kanzurejust being reasonable. don't allow more than a certain number of login attempts in a certain time period21:59
kanzuregive them a public API and sandboxed API to play around with21:59
ybitfsf.org doesn't have a privacy policy or a terms of service22:07
fennwhy are you making it complicated and saurian?22:08
ybitfenn: what's complicated?22:11
fennprivacy policy, terms of service, captchas22:11
kanzurefenn: if dave was to drop by when would you be awake22:12
