14:37.06MinuteElectronwtf 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.
14:39.53MinuteElectronOk, maybe it wasn't vim.
14:43.14brlcadMinuteElectron: are you in screen?
14:43.20brlcadwuff wuff sounds like screen
14:44.00brlcadit prints that as the "bell character" since it can't readily beep
14:45.10MinuteElectronyeah, it was screen
14:45.26MinuteElectronbrlcad: Why is the server type set to 'a monkey hitting...'?
14:46.48brlcadfor a variety of reasons
14:47.05MinuteElectronHmm, ok.
14:47.06brlcadbut mostly because it's something different
14:47.58MinuteElectronFine, 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.
14:48.25brlcadyeah, it won't cause any trouble for drupal
14:48.44MinuteElectronok
14:49.05brlcadone of the points for changing it is so external apps can't readily tell what server is running
14:49.27MinuteElectronI see - more security mesaures.
14:49.30brlcadaside from just being kinda funny/curious/interesting
14:49.50brlcadone of about a hundred things like that on the server
14:50.43brlcadpwd
14:50.54MinuteElectron~pwd
14:50.55ibotit has been said that pwd is $pwd
14:51.06brlcad:)
14:51.11brlcad~ww
14:51.12ibotWrong window pansie
14:51.30brlcadibot_: be nice
14:58.00MinuteElectronhmm, vim is still being an arse.
14:59.23MinuteElectronOh dear,
14:59.53MinuteElectronemacs wants to save its config file to /home/MinuteElectron - that appears to be my pwd, ha /me needs to fix that.
15:01.34brlcadwow, how'd you do that?
15:01.52MinuteElectronoh dear
15:01.55MinuteElectronit still wants to
15:02.13MinuteElectronbrlcad: I have no idea, I still havem't fixed the problem though.
15:02.33MinuteElectronI tried setting PWD in .profile but that didn't work
15:02.48brlcadyou shouldn't need to do that
15:03.19MinuteElectronBut when I type pwd I get '/home/MinuteElectron'.
15:05.11MinuteElectronBut wait, /home is a symlink to /usr/home so it should just work
15:05.21MinuteElectronhow odd
15:05.35MinuteElectronbut it also makes emacs unusable as I keep getting a bell message
15:06.12brlcadwhere are you?
15:06.34MinuteElectronwhat do you mean/
15:06.35brlcadwhat's the bell message for?
15:06.41MinuteElectronemacs
15:06.53brlcadno, i mean why is it giving you a bell?
15:07.10brlcadwhat's it trying to do that's failing?
15:07.10MinuteElectronbecause it can't write to /home/MinuteElectron/.emacs.d
15:07.23brlcadnow that's odd
15:07.30brlcadyou should be able to write to that
15:07.38MinuteElectronI presume it is because I am sudo www
15:07.46brlcadoooh
15:07.57brlcadrun emacs as yourself first
15:08.01MinuteElectronok
15:08.12brlcadsudo retains the caller's ident
15:08.20brlcads/ident/environment
15:14.39MinuteElectronha, emacs is so much easier to use than vim
15:14.56brlcadindeed
15:15.28MinuteElectronWonders how he actually managed to use vim.
15:16.17MinuteElectronbrlcad: Is tan an alright hyperlink color, i used it to match the navigation bar.
15:29.46brlcadtry FBD079
15:32.45MinuteElectronok
15:33.08MinuteElectronbrlcad: I was already using that.
15:34.04brlcadmm, minor dyslexia? :)
15:34.38brlcadlook closely
15:35.27MinuteElectronshit
15:36.40MinuteElectronYeah, that looks better.
15:37.23brlcadas good as it's gonna get at least with that nav bar ;)
15:37.38brlcadi shoulda used a more gamma/websafe color
15:37.50brlcadgood enough, though
15:37.57MinuteElectronok
15:41.41*** join/#brlcad dtidrow (n=dtidrow@c-69-255-182-248.hsd1.va.comcast.net)
15:43.13brlcadthere we go, ffc757, that's the gamma-corrected value that it *should* be (at least for my system) :)
15:43.56MinuteElectronYeah, perfect.
15:47.41MinuteElectronbrlcad: Can a no-reply e-mail address be used? e.g. no-reply@my.brlcad.org
15:48.52brlcadsure you can use noreply at brlcad.org
15:49.19MinuteElectroncool, thanks
15:50.50brlcadwebmaster @ can also be used
15:51.02brlcadif you want it to go somewhere
15:51.05MinuteElectronok
15:52.08brlcadthere 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)
16:48.45yukonbobwhen I go to "Request New Password", the links in the tabs ("Create new account", "Log in") are almost illegible as tan-on-white...
16:53.25MinuteElectronit is not finished
16:53.31MinuteElectronI am aware of such problems
16:53.41MinuteElectronI still have to add styling to the tabs
16:53.55MinuteElectronand make the boxes go on the right
16:54.01yukonbob:) -- didn't figure that you were finished, but didn't know if you were aware...
16:54.04MinuteElectronthanks for the info anyway
