diana_coman: since my first deadline of Aug 4 has come, I want to give you an update on the logotron progress thus far:

00:14

I believe I have the initial php bits figured out. However, I underestimated the complexity of the permissions system in postgres. Specifically, since the intent will be to have a logbot and log viewer on the same server, I want to be sure I really understand the permissions so that the web-facing bits do not interfere with the logline snarfing bits. I'll give you daily updates on my progress as I work

00:14

lobbes

through this understanding.

lobbes

In the meantime, do you care if I bring auctionbot into this channel? Since it sits on top of the logbot code, I figure it can start snarfing loglines while I research. (It will not list auctions in this channel unless I explicity tell it to, so no worries of spam)

07:59	diana_coman	lobbes: good you said something - I had to fish it out of the spam (not sure why it went there directly, hm)
08:07	diana_coman	shrysr: are you still alive ?
		~ 3 hours 32 minutes ~
11:39	shrysr	diana_coman: yes, i am. sorry. I've had to catch up on office work and have not made much progress with v.py, and my daily writing has been lagging as well.
11:40	diana_coman	shrysr: it can happen but the important thing is: SAY it; as quickly as you notice it
11:40	shrysr	yes.. i apologise. I was going to update you and got distracted.
11:41	diana_coman	far better to say it upfront than to have me either shout after you as above or otherwise... assume whatever I might end up assuming instead, you know?
11:41	shrysr	yes
11:41	diana_coman	ha! what was the distracting thing?
11:41	diana_coman	anyways, glad to hear you're still alive :D
11:42	diana_coman	re v.py, since it seems to be a hard task, maybe write down what you did /tried so far and where/what got you stuck; you might even get some help then
11:45	shrysr	yes, i will need help :D .. but I do think i can push a little further, and want to.
11:48	shrysr	the distracting thing!! lol what is not distracting :D as you've said i try to optimise when I shdnt, and if i remember right - i thought I should get something done and then report, and then thought i should send out an interim update ... and then went on to something else to finish first. God knows what at that time.
11:52	diana_coman	shrysr: sounds like a mess; report is fixed: set aside a day and stick to it; i.e. every week on Sunday you write down on younghands.club the summary of what you did during the week and how it went
11:52	diana_coman	it has nothing to do with that first or the other second
11:52	diana_coman	the above is the minimum and fixed
11:53	diana_coman	if you want in addition to set yourself a daily blog post too on whatever you worked on during that day, fine
11:54	diana_coman	but again, it's a fixed thing, non-negotiable once set; whatever it is you did or did not do, goes in there
11:54	shrysr	:) okay. Understood.
11:54	diana_coman	the point of those posts is to record what happened , not to paint you in some light or another
11:55	shrysr	okay.
11:56	shrysr	i will do it.
11:56	diana_coman	cool then
12:00	shrysr	diana_coman: where are you in UK? hehe I did my masters in Leeds uni, but have only visited birmingham. Not even London.
12:08	diana_coman	shrysr: I'm in Reading
12:08	diana_coman	well, near Reading
12:08	diana_coman	why so travel-adverse shrysr ?
12:09	diana_coman	shrysr: where are you from more precisely?
12:11	shrysr	Well in the past - mostly because of the money. I guess nowadays its also abt the effort involved in planning stuff out. hey at that time, i had no money left over after the drugs and cigs.
