i sense a risk my current tkinter gui may end up rewritten if wanted a log search that would ~instantly filter text as search terms are typed. and probably other roadblocks waiting to surface, given my lack of deeper tcl/tk understanding. awt you (or anyone else) want a patch for it regardless? may serve as a general py gu |

i fiddling item nevertheless. oh, and what if there were no clean upgrade path to it, from irc-blatta, other than starting over? this may or may not be the case... |

cgra: I would definately be interested in seeing a general py gui fiddling item. |

re log search in general, i suppose somebody could, if wanted to, retro-'hearsay' old irc logs into pest history. and make possible netchain-links all the way back to 'day 0'. |

cgra: asciilifeform thought about this, but imho promises to be gnarly (there's >1 historic irc chans, many of which ran concurrently) |

and would be odd to have modern-day netchain replies to ancient msgs displayed next to the latter |

asciilifeform: looking specifically at pest_0xfa_pre_draft.pdf, maybe want to specify handles case-insensitive? |

cgra: notbad idea imho |
| 16:01 |
asciilifeform |
(atm and in prev. specs they were case-sensitive) |
| 16:02 |
asciilifeform |
cgra: tricky in details tho. |
| 16:04 |
asciilifeform |
( and brings up the q -- why display e.g. hypothetical 'Cgra' as hearsay of 'cgra' when the 2 readily distinguishable if both are present on net ? ) |
| 16:05 |
asciilifeform |
seems as if it ~subtracts~ useful info re authenticity, rather than adds any |
| 16:06 |
asciilifeform |
a faux 'cgra' with handle 'Cgra' helpfully supplies 'confession' re his bogosity |
| 16:07 |
cgra |
right |
| 16:07 |
asciilifeform |
( asciilifeform's original 'ascii-only' rule re handles was so that they are guaranteed to be visually distinguishable. ) |
| 16:08 |
asciilifeform |
would seem that case-insensitive treatment of handles would win 0 |

yeah seems so. if someone sets his handle to 'Cgra' knowing 'cgra' already exists, he's a dick. but if his handle was set independently, and nets were later joined, they even aren't now 'two bobs' in the worst possible sense, either |

aaha |

asciilifeform ftr is experimenting with gui display which makes 'forks' visually apparent w/out any special programmatic handling on protocol end |

asciilifeform |
... is the reason wai left'em out of the draft spec |

asciilifeform: plz shoot screens whenever have possibly interesting samples |
