rindolf | Radar: I know it's rehearsed, but I prefer reading dark on bright rather than the opposite. |
rindolf | Radar: let me see if there's an alternate stylesheet. |
Radar | rindolf: Command+Option+Control+8 |
workmad3 | heh |
rindolf | Radar: I'm not on a Mac. |
Radar | rindolf: then whatever the shortcut is for you to invert your screen. |
rindolf | Radar: Firefox 4.0 on Mandriva Linux Cooker on an old P4-2.4GHz. |
rindolf | Radar: yeah.... |
rindolf | Radar: that way XChat and Pidgin will be in technicolour. |
workmad3 | Radar: so, once you've gotten Rails 3.1 in Action out, are you going to be going for Rails 3.2 in Action on Windows? |
rindolf | Well, I applied a no-stylesheet. |
Radar | workmad3: Rails 3.2 in Action on Windows(r) 7(tm) actually. |
workmad3 | Radar: I'll reserve my copy now :D |
rindolf | Radar: good luck with that. |
rindolf | Radar: will the book be available online for free view/download? |
workmad3 | rindolf: a windows book? for free? |
workmad3 | are you crazy??? |
rindolf | workmad3: Windows? |
rindolf | workmad3: it's about Rails. |
Radar | rindolf: no it will cost money |
rindolf | Radar: ah, OK. :-( |
workmad3 | Rails 3.2 In Action on Windows(r) 7(tm) |
workmad3 | it'll cost big bucks!! |
rindolf | workmad3: heh. |
rindolf | Ultimate Premium. |
Radar | Yes, I'm going to spend a year of my life writing a book and then release it for free, yay |
Radar | how about no? |
workmad3 | Radar: don't forget the Enterprise Rails 3.2 on Windows In Action 7(tw) |
workmad3 | you can charge double for that one... it has enterprise in the title! |
Radar | workmad3: how did you know about the third installment of the trilogy?! only Yehuda and I know of that |
workmad3 | Radar: I'm really yehuda in disguise |
workmad3 | dammit... I should have waited 25 mins to reveal that... |
rindolf | Radar: well, I'm now working on an EPUB of http://www.shlomifish.org/humour/TheEnemy/ but DocBook/XML is giving me some grief in generating a valid EPUB. |
rindolf | I think I'll fix the EPUB manually. |
rindolf | I'll have to study the EPUB format. |
rindolf | Radar: it's a story - not a technical book. |
rindolf | Radar: http://perl-begin.org/ - this took me several years to work on (well not 100% of the time) and it's mostly CC-by. |
workmad3 | rindolf: who'd pay for stuff on perl though? :P |
rindolf | workmad3: you'd be surprised. |
workmad3 | rindolf: I doubt it |
rindolf | workmad3: I think chromatic's latest "Modern Perl" book was a smashing success. |
workmad3 | my sense of surprise has been surgically removed |
rindolf | workmad3: even though it was available online the whole time. |
rindolf | workmad3: but Perl is a bit passé and established. |
rindolf | Radar: people will torrent your book/etc. |
workmad3 | also, I think I need to colour my sarcastic text differently |
rindolf | workmad3: ah, OK. |
workmad3 | or maybe just my non-sarcastic text |
rindolf | chromatic did an awesome job. |
workmad3 | would probably be easier |
rindolf | Use <sarcasm> ... </sarcasm> |
workmad3 | too much typing |
rindolf | Human XML. |
rindolf | Write an IRC client macro for that. |
workmad3 | I'll just put <nonsarcasm> when I'm not being sarcastic |
rindolf | Heh. |
workmad3 | assume that previous one was escaped |
rindolf | XSS! |
rindolf | 1+1 = 2. [citation needed] |
rindolf | I like this channel. |
rindolf | But I admit I'm not big into rails. |
workmad3 | it doesn't like you |
workmad3 | it's looking at you funny |
workmad3 | muttering under it's breath |
workmad3 | :P |
rindolf | Most of my sites are hosted on something which I don't care what it runs or alternatively static HTML sites. |
rindolf | workmad3: :-) |
rindolf | I'm so making a fortune out of this conversation. |
rindolf | workmad3: have you ever considered being a stand-up comedian? |
workmad3 | rindolf: nah... I'm too lazy |
rindolf | workmad3: ah. |
workmad3 | rindolf: if I could sit down while doing it, I'd be a millionaire :P |
rindolf | workmad3: heh. |
rindolf | workmad3: more like a milliardaire. |
