14:37.06 MinuteElectron wtf is vim's problem? you push the backspace key in insert mode and it outputs 'wuff wuff' - some people may have tons of time to mess about with silly things like that, but others have things to do.
14:39.53 MinuteElectron Ok, maybe it wasn't vim.
14:43.14 brlcad MinuteElectron: are you in screen?
14:43.20 brlcad wuff wuff sounds like screen
14:44.00 brlcad it prints that as the "bell character" since it can't readily beep
14:45.10 MinuteElectron yeah, it was screen
14:45.26 MinuteElectron brlcad: Why is the server type set to 'a monkey hitting...'?
14:46.48 brlcad for a variety of reasons
14:47.05 MinuteElectron Hmm, ok.
14:47.06 brlcad but mostly because it's something different
14:47.58 MinuteElectron Fine, just wondered - probably won't cause any trouble but Drupal says it might (since it cannot tell what server it is running on). I guess it doesn't matter.
14:48.25 brlcad yeah, it won't cause any trouble for drupal
14:48.44 MinuteElectron ok
14:49.05 brlcad one of the points for changing it is so external apps can't readily tell what server is running
14:49.27 MinuteElectron I see - more security mesaures.
14:49.30 brlcad aside from just being kinda funny/curious/interesting
14:49.50 brlcad one of about a hundred things like that on the server
14:50.43 brlcad pwd
14:50.54 MinuteElectron ~pwd
14:50.55 ibot it has been said that pwd is $pwd
14:51.06 brlcad :)
14:51.11 brlcad ~ww
14:51.12 ibot Wrong window pansie
14:51.30 brlcad ibot_: be nice
14:58.00 MinuteElectron hmm, vim is still being an arse.
14:59.23 MinuteElectron Oh dear,
14:59.53 MinuteElectron emacs wants to save its config file to /home/MinuteElectron - that appears to be my pwd, ha /me needs to fix that.
15:01.34 brlcad wow, how'd you do that?
15:01.52 MinuteElectron oh dear
15:01.55 MinuteElectron it still wants to
15:02.13 MinuteElectron brlcad: I have no idea, I still havem't fixed the problem though.
15:02.33 MinuteElectron I tried setting PWD in .profile but that didn't work
15:02.48 brlcad you shouldn't need to do that
15:03.19 MinuteElectron But when I type pwd I get '/home/MinuteElectron'.
15:05.11 MinuteElectron But wait, /home is a symlink to /usr/home so it should just work
15:05.21 MinuteElectron how odd
15:05.35 MinuteElectron but it also makes emacs unusable as I keep getting a bell message
15:06.12 brlcad where are you?
15:06.34 MinuteElectron what do you mean/
15:06.35 brlcad what's the bell message for?
15:06.41 MinuteElectron emacs
15:06.53 brlcad no, i mean why is it giving you a bell?
15:07.10 brlcad what's it trying to do that's failing?
15:07.10 MinuteElectron because it can't write to /home/MinuteElectron/.emacs.d
15:07.23 brlcad now that's odd
15:07.30 brlcad you should be able to write to that
15:07.38 MinuteElectron I presume it is because I am sudo www
15:07.46 brlcad oooh
15:07.57 brlcad run emacs as yourself first
15:08.01 MinuteElectron ok
15:08.12 brlcad sudo retains the caller's ident
15:08.20 brlcad s/ident/environment
15:14.39 MinuteElectron ha, emacs is so much easier to use than vim
15:14.56 brlcad indeed
15:15.28 MinuteElectron Wonders how he actually managed to use vim.
15:16.17 MinuteElectron brlcad: Is tan an alright hyperlink color, i used it to match the navigation bar.
15:29.46 brlcad try FBD079
15:32.45 MinuteElectron ok
15:33.08 MinuteElectron brlcad: I was already using that.
15:34.04 brlcad mm, minor dyslexia? :)
15:34.38 brlcad look closely
15:35.27 MinuteElectron shit
15:36.40 MinuteElectron Yeah, that looks better.
15:37.23 brlcad as good as it's gonna get at least with that nav bar ;)
15:37.38 brlcad i shoulda used a more gamma/websafe color
15:37.50 brlcad good enough, though
15:37.57 MinuteElectron ok
15:41.41 *** join/#brlcad dtidrow (n=dtidrow@c-69-255-182-248.hsd1.va.comcast.net)
15:43.13 brlcad there we go, ffc757, that's the gamma-corrected value that it *should* be (at least for my system) :)
15:43.56 MinuteElectron Yeah, perfect.
15:47.41 MinuteElectron brlcad: Can a no-reply e-mail address be used? e.g. no-reply@my.brlcad.org
15:48.52 brlcad sure you can use noreply at brlcad.org
15:49.19 MinuteElectron cool, thanks
15:50.50 brlcad webmaster @ can also be used
15:51.02 brlcad if you want it to go somewhere
15:51.05 MinuteElectron ok
15:52.08 brlcad there are also support, bugs, and dev emails depending on the purpose as well as a few others
15:55.44 *** join/#brlcad IriX64 (n=mario_du@bas2-sudbury98-1177878796.dsl.bell.ca)
16:48.45 yukonbob when I go to "Request New Password", the links in the tabs ("Create new account", "Log in") are almost illegible as tan-on-white...
16:53.25 MinuteElectron it is not finished
16:53.31 MinuteElectron I am aware of such problems
16:53.41 MinuteElectron I still have to add styling to the tabs
16:53.55 MinuteElectron and make the boxes go on the right
16:54.01 yukonbob :) -- didn't figure that you were finished, but didn't know if you were aware...
16:54.04 MinuteElectron thanks for the info anyway
