10:06.07ChoHagCan you treat a string "foo bar baz" as an array of 3?
10:06.09ChoHagIn bash.
10:27.27ess_tee_uChoHag: as in
10:27.35ess_tee_uSTRING="foo bar baz"
10:27.43ess_tee_uARRAY=$(echo ${STRING} | tr " " "\n")
10:27.50ess_tee_uthen loop in ARRAY
10:28.22ChoHagBut without the intermediate step/
10:30.39AndyMillarChoHag: can't you just do "for i in $STRING; do echo $i ; done"
10:30.55ChoHagNo. I am physiologically incapable of that.
10:31.25ess_tee_ufor k in $STRING; do echo ">[$k]";done
10:31.34ess_tee_uor somethign
10:32.16ChoHagI don't actually recall saying anything about loops.
10:32.53AndyMillarah, no, you didn't
10:33.36ChoHagI noticed that SSH_CONNECTION is the string "IP PORT IP PORT".
10:33.55ChoHagLooping over it makes no sense. Getting the different parts does.
10:35.12ChoHagNot that I need to, but learning things when you don't need them is what lets you use them when you do.
10:38.26AndyMillaryou can echo $SSH_CONNECTION | while read a b c d; do echo sfuff ; done
10:38.30AndyMillarbut that's horiffic
11:14.04wethrinChoHag: http://tsengf.blogspot.co.uk/2011/06/convert-space-separated-string-into.html
11:14.24ChoHagBah.
11:14.29wethrinHTH, etc?
11:14.41ChoHagHow do you turn off the pathetic security 'feature' of blocking non-root from opening ports < 1024?
11:15.38ChoHag"That remote process is listening on port 139? Well it must be a piece of code of the highest calibre."
11:17.28ChoHagWoah woah woah.
11:17.30wethrinYou could install Windows ;-)
11:17.34ChoHag"The short answer is that this is not possible by design."? "In general it is widely accepted practice that this should not be possible."?
11:17.35wethrinruns
11:17.41ChoHagPeople still think this is a useful feature?
11:17.48wethrinIt is a traditional Unixism
11:18.15ChoHagYes it is.
11:18.37ChoHagI'm not going to argue now. Sun's popped out.
11:18.47ChoHagSuffice it to say, it was useful when there were 10 computers.
11:20.43wethrinIt's raining here
11:20.58wethrinplus I wasn't looking for an argument. It's too much effort today
11:21.02wethrinand I just can't be arsed
12:34.51yaMattyou need to go enter a certain monty python sketch

13:53.25dick_turpinKnees up mu'vor Brown, knees up mu'vor Brown, under the table you must go....
13:54.52ChoHagI love this shit.
13:54.58ChoHagIt's so utterly utterly pointless.
13:55.11ChoHagAnd hilariously exactly the opposite of the goal of creating the GPL in the first place.
13:55.23ChoHag"According to Apache, Libreoffice may be able to port from APL->LGPL, but Apache will likely not be able to port from LGPL->APL."
13:55.33ChoHagWhy the FUCK does it matter?
13:56.08dick_turpinAs we said on the podcast Apache is where projects go to die.
14:00.07ChoHagExcept, Ironically, Apache.
14:00.17ChoHagAlthough maybe that's just momentum.
14:04.20ChoHagKDE fans are always amusingly similar.
14:04.31ChoHagTo each other.
14:04.47dick_turpinAgain as yaMatt and I discussed NginX may well overtake Apache in the grand scheme of things.
14:05.37ChoHagLike OSX used to be I suppose - "There's a [substandard, **even** **less** complete, gaudy] KDE version of that [with a silly name so it can have a K in it somewhere]."
14:11.44yaMattI think there is far too much momentum in Apache for Nginx to overtake Apache but it may happen in 2 years or so
14:11.56ChoHagHoly fuck even the language is suffering from this bullshit.
14:12.08ChoHag... of which some non-free stuff has been removed:
14:12.12ChoHag<PROTECTED>
14:12.12ChoHag<PROTECTED>
14:12.20ChoHag*hyphenation patterns*
14:12.21ChoHagSeriously?
14:13.20yaMattI thought you women went to see the doctor for that
14:13.37ChoHagWhat women?
14:13.58yaMattah, I'm thinking of hypertension
