irclog2html for #brlcad on 20050414

00:07.10 brlcad plone's on the plate for consideration ;)
00:07.45 brlcad i basically settled on choosing between drupal, plone, and mambo, leaning towards the three in about that order after looking at all of their features
00:08.19 brlcad we have lots of space, though thanks ;)
00:09.56 brlcad ahh
00:10.37 brlcad have you tried out drupal as well?
00:10.48 Fikrann But I can lend Zope managing skills too if you want your site on your server and decide on plone.
00:11.15 Fikrann Yes, I tried it out once .. but quite a long time ago, it was in early stages of development then.
00:12.41 Fikrann It seems nice and working well, from what I saw lately. Its geared towards small, simple sites rather than complex company/community portals.
00:15.21 brlcad hmm, their integration of the wiki module along with a more up to date phpbb module was one of the factors that pushed drupal above zope, aside from the slightly lesser load it was causing
00:17.58 brlcad drupal's developer api for modules seemed a lil easier to work with too -- there are longer term plans to have a on-line front-end to a geometry and benchmark archive
00:18.14 brlcad have you done development with plone?
00:18.58 brlcad i admit my brush with it was via very broad strokes as I narrowed in on first impression feelings of the three
00:19.47 brlcad mambo's by far got the largest community of users, iirc, but there were a few things about it that made them #3
00:22.06 brlcad Fikrann: would you be interested in setting up a themed demo of plone on the website in a staging area?
00:23.00 brlcad i don't have cms religion, so if it works and can do what we need, great ;)
00:37.06 Fikrann staging area?
00:37.30 brlcad you can see the staged version of drupal at http://brlcad.org/www/ .. i left it at one of the alternate themes before I was off working on something else, but it's functional
00:37.49 brlcad a place to test it out before kicking it up to be the main page/site
00:40.49 Fikrann ok, I'll whip something up tomorrow.
00:41.58 brlcad do you have an sf.net account?
00:43.36 brlcad i can add you to the access list for the website if you do, working within those constraints staging it there is preferred since that's where it will end up :)
00:44.06 Fikrann I once had ..
00:45.01 Fikrann Hmmm .. do sourceforge allow running processes on their servers?
00:45.21 brlcad depends on what kind of process
00:45.30 brlcad they have much already provided
00:45.46 brlcad if you mean like running python on the backend, yes
00:46.23 brlcad there are databases available as well
00:46.26 Fikrann for plone you need Zope, which is a web server by itself .. though usually you hide it behind another one. Zope tends to be ram heavy, though. They might not like it.
00:47.18 brlcad i wouldn't be surprised if they already host many many zope-based sites
00:47.42 brlcad if I remember correctly, though, zope can also run under apache, yes?
00:48.52 Fikrann through persistent-cgi, yes, but its still quite standalone app.
00:49.33 Fikrann (forcing it into pure cgi mode would make things go veeeeeeeery slowly)
00:50.17 brlcad heh, plone is an sf.net-based project themselves it looks (at least they have an sf.net project) so it should be easy to find out what the problems are
00:51.42 Fikrann yes, but I think plone.org is hosted somewhere else.
00:52.18 brlcad that could be for many other reasons
00:52.36 brlcad in particular, sf.net restricts outbound connectivity
00:54.27 brlcad hrm.. nobody useful in #plone yet speaking up
00:55.03 brlcad 118 people lurking, sheesh :)
00:57.18 Fikrann heh ..
00:58.17 Fikrann *yawns* I'm off .. before I crash down and get Ultraspac cpu heatsink embedded in my face.
00:58.49 brlcad cu
05:18.18 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/ (configure.ac src/other/Makefile.am): add a configure-time option to build the utah raster toolkit (and hence libutahrle) conditionally
05:23.46 brlcad sleep?
05:23.51 brlcad i haven't even gone home yet
05:24.07 narnia brlcad, do you even have a home? ;-)
05:24.21 brlcad home is where my dog is :)
05:24.46 narnia brlcad, i did not know you had a dog.
05:25.11 narnia brlcad, small, medium, big, giant size?
05:26.02 brlcad small, albeit a lil portly
05:26.12 narnia ah
05:26.19 brlcad about 20 pounds portly
05:26.38 narnia your dog weighs 20 pounds?
05:26.47 brlcad roughly
05:27.16 brlcad he should weigh about 12-16
05:27.58 brlcad http://bzflag.bz/tmp/barney_small.jpg
05:28.02 narnia i have a cat that weighs 20 pounds. his daddy was carl sagan, a siamese, his mommy was a silky fur domestic long hair.
05:28.40 narnia he is cute.
05:29.21 narnia the cat is named bilbo baggins because he steals 'shiny' objects.
05:29.43 brlcad barney had a brother named fred
05:30.07 brlcad fred was a bit bigger and darker
05:30.17 narnia several years ago when my son and i were rebuilding the tractor engine bilbo stoled the intake values.
05:30.19 brlcad fred was left in panama, not as cuddly
05:31.06 narnia you had two dogs fred flintstone and barney rubble. cute.
05:31.35 narnia fred was left in latin america.
05:31.50 brlcad yeah, some friends wanted him
05:32.08 narnia lived or worked in panama?
05:32.09 brlcad later met an early demise unfortunately
05:32.17 narnia :-(
05:32.22 brlcad barney is the best dog I've ever had, though
05:41.50 narnia i was looking at the bzflag.bz web site.
05:42.22 narnia did i ever give you url for a picture of me?
05:46.54 narnia i seem to remember i sent you pictures of huck and tom.
