[particle] :D
masak no-one here but the logger, though. 14:13
usually moritz_++ is here too, and sometimes viklund
we haven't been able to lure our russian friends here
[particle] someday. 14:14
i see the posts from them in the group, which i've just joined
masak I can understand their hesitation, I sometimes hang out on #ubuntu-cn
I'm strictly lurking there, as I simply wouldn't be able to keep up in conversation 14:15
[particle] yeah, some channels are too popular
that's not your problem
masak no.
it's the language barrier
[particle] da. 14:16
masak Га. :) 14:17
masak loves Emacs and LEIM
[particle] i wish pidgin supported irc-via-screen 14:18
i don't care so much about unicode, as i'm in the usa ;) 14:19
masak [particle]: watch it, I'm op here :)
and I'm not from the USA...
[particle] :)
hrmm, looks like you're not an op here, unless my client is acting up 14:20
masak there.
[particle] ah, there you go
masak we need a bot here, that would help a lot
hold on.
14:21 zarah joined
masak hi 14:21
zarah hi masak
masak zarah: you're the cute one!
zarah masak: no, YOU are the cute one! :)
masak zarah: aww, shut up. :)
zarah masak: :)
[particle] botsnack
ah well :(
masak I should have her respond to that 14:22
I learned about it today

[particle] hee

masak botbeer 14:26
zarah ;)
masak zarah++
[particle] zarah++ 14:27
masak++ work--
masak :)
actually, more of studies-- right now 14:28
I'm supposed to know 31 chinese words till Thursday
[particle] heh
all the same character?
;)
masak you wish
:)
most of them two characters, except the ones that are three or four 14:29
non-simplified.
[particle] did i break the wiki? www.november-wiki.org/cgi-bin/w?page=FAQ 14:35
masak no, looks good 14:36
[particle] oh, hrmm, it's fine, but i was getting 500 on edit
masak 'cept that external links don't work yet
nice try, though
[particle] ah
masak expect extlinks working later this week
for now, just leave them as text :(
[particle] there, FAQ updated 14:38
masak [particle]++
I think the syntax for external links will be [example.com example], by the way 14:39
following MediaWiki's example
(actually, the plan is to support ridiculously many markups, but MediaWiki's is my first target) 14:41
are you editing Main_Page? otherwise, I'll remove the "Bug-list" link now, and replace the "Editing_Test_Page" with "Sandbox"
[particle] ok, that's sane
go ahead
i'll update FAQ 14:42
masak great!
this is so much more fun than learning words!
[particle] it is fun! 14:45
i'd like to update the css and make it pretty.
but i need to figure out how to install git natively on windows first 14:46
masak either that, or download without git via guthub, and send patches 14:47
your solution is the long-term one, mine the sort-term
s/sort/short/ 14:48
it's interesting to note that github, Google Groups, and now Trac -- all three provide built-in wikis in their project management :) 14:56
all three of which deserve a comment along the lines of "this is not the November wiki we're building" 14:57
[particle] true :)
somehow none of the links on faq are working now :( 16:01
masak no, that's because external links don't work yet 16:02
also, the version of novmeber running on feather is several weeks old
there's a masak/viklund hackathon tomorrow, I will address that then 16:03
[particle] oh, when i had [[]] they at least highlighted
now they're just displaying the []. i get it
masak true, but the also invited clicking on them :)
[particle] ok, i've installed git
masak wonderful 16:04
[particle] now to figure out how to use it
masak I could give you a short tutorial, from an svn-er's perspective
let's say you have just made a change. you go `git status`, and it lists your file as dirty
you go `git add that-file`, and then `git status`, now it lists your file as added 16:05
you go `git commit -m "I changed stuff"` and it commits it locally
you go `git push` and it commits it to github
those are the bare basics
things to keep in mind: when you git-add stuff, you add not the file, but the changes made to that file since last commit/add 16:07
also, git-revert does not Do What You (as an svn user) Think. instead, just checkout the file again
www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git...ryday.html 16:14
[particle] i need an account at github next, i guess 16:41
masak [particle]: I'd give it to you if I had access. unfortunately, I don't. 16:42
a mail to viklund will do the trick, though
ah, sorry. misread. 16:44
the account you'd have to create yourself, of course. 16:45
with it (maybe even without it), you can download november and start hacking
however, to get _commit rights_, you need to be added as a committer to the project on github 16:46
and that's what requires an email :)
[particle] ok, i now have 'particle' as a registered user on github 16:48
time to mail viklund
masak hm, I haven't really felt his 'net presence today 16:49
so his reply might not be instantaneous
I'm about to go hunt some food now 16:50
[particle]: see you!
