[10:15] <jjjj> hello
[10:16] <Kollektiv> hello
[12:41] <skeelo> how do i escape | in a remote line so it prints
[12:42] <ancutzza> edjws
[12:42] <ancutzza> buna
[12:43] <Zuthulu> skeelo //echo -ag hello $chr(124) world
[12:43] <Sais> $(|) also works
[12:44] <skeelo> ya was thinkin $chr but couldn't find the damn code for | till i just did $a
[12:44] <Zuthulu> that's new for me, much easier :)
[12:44] <skeelo> ya i try that thx
[12:46] <Sais> I think, however, that $( | ) will fail (It has spaces around it, so the | ge
[12:46] <skeelo> how do i make a space
[12:46] <skeelo> $chr(32) i thought
[12:46] <Sais> yep
[12:47] <Sais> although mIRC will concatenate consecutive spaces and crop leading/trailing sp
[12:47] <skeelo> ya msg $chan $chr(32) $(|) doesn't work for me
[12:48] <Sais> No, it's a leading space. Two, in fact.
[12:48] <Sais> //echo -a $+($chr(2),$chr(32),$chr(2),|)
[12:49] <Sais> a bold space :)
[12:49] <Sais> or you can use $chr(160)
[12:49] <Sais> which isn't a true space, and doesn't appear as one in all fonts.
[12:49] <Zuthulu> or use $chr(160) for a hard space
[12:49] <skeelo> ooo
[12:50] * Sais points at his last few lines...
[12:50] <Zuthulu> oh, I'm blid :)
[12:50] <Sais> lol
[12:51] <skeelo> works thx

[14:15] <PC> some characters don't work inside $+() but will still work like this: | $+ %som
[14:16] <argv[0]> "|" is a special character

[15:34] <denon> so, I saw a nice little spellcheck plugin demo'd on utube of all places .. an
[15:34] <dirtpoor> you can't spell check your own text?
[15:35] <denon> sure I can, but nobody's infallible
[15:35] <denon> nice to have a little realtime reassurance ;)
[15:36] <dirtpoor> you could write one
[15:36] <denon> I could, but it's not *that* important to me..
[15:36] <dirtpoor> then...
[15:36] <denon> the one in the little demo looked fairly polished
[15:36] <dirtpoor> then it isn't that important to me either
[15:37] <denon> why did you buy mIRC? you could write an irc client too ..
[15:37] <argv[0]> it was probably an implementation of aspell
[15:37] <denon> this was the video, if anyone's interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS
[15:37] <dirtpoor> not interested
[15:38] <denon> argv[0]: hmm, quite likely
[15:38] <argv[0]> though
[15:38] <denon> I'd assume the wrapper is for sale somewhere
[15:38] <denon> some shareware guy trying to make a buck
[15:38] <argv[0]> anyone who randomly posts youtube videos without linking to their work has
[15:38] <denon> argv[0]: I wondered about that -- or if it was just an oversight
[15:39] <argv[0]> if its an oversight i wonder how many oversights are in his code :)
[15:39] <denon> the comments from others run along the same lines though, "how can we buy it
[15:39] <argv[0]> thats a pretty big one
[15:39] <denon> he may have just posted it to show off to some friends
[15:39] <denon> and others found it
[15:39] <argv[0]> google mirc spellcheck
[15:39] <denon> been there, done that
[15:40] <denon> there are some hacks with scripted socket calls, but nothing quite as smooth
[15:40] <denon> a new tcp socket call for each word doesn't seem like the right approach to m
[15:41] <denon> especially when a local dict is probably sufficient (like you said, aspell or
[15:43] <argv[0]> http://trout.snt.utwente.nl/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Board=6&
[15:43] <argv[0]> people are big on posting photos or videos but not source code
[15:43] <argv[0]> so i bet theres a technical hurdle they all choke on
[15:45] <denon> hmm, interesting
[15:45] <denon> argv[0]: I wonder what trillian uses
[15:45] <argv[0]> probably aspell
[15:45] <denon> they're commercial, obviously, and have a plugin available
[15:45] <denon> they're entirely closed source
[15:46] <argv[0]> i was wrong about the aspell thing, sat corrected me
[15:46] <denon> ah ok
[15:46] <denon> didn't read that far
[15:46] <denon> pity nobody's actually releasing their work as a project
[15:47] <denon> or even just binaries, but I'd be a bit skeptical of that
[15:48] <argv[0]> its probably relatively simple
[15:48] <denon> well, nothing's really simple if done right .. well-tested, compatible, etc
[15:48] <argv[0]> its rare that people in this community actually know how to code though
[15:48] <argv[0]> thats probably more likely the reason
[15:49] <denon> I suppose, I haven't spent much time with current mIRC APIs
[15:50] <argv[0]> there isnt much of an api for dlls, just an entry point
[15:51] <denon> ic
[15:51] <denon> "back in the day", I remember doing some DDE communications with it
[15:51] <denon> not the right medium for this, I'm guessing, since you'd need to do some gui
[15:52] <denon> either way, not really looking to reinvent the wheel I guess
[15:52] <denon> was just hoping to give someone 10 bucks and have a decent little add-on :)
[15:52] <argv[0]> well you'd do it with a dll, subclass the editbox control and just read the
[15:55] <denon> now I'm curious whether or not there are any decent grammar libs out there
[15:55] <denon> of course I'm really only interested in US-EN, but I'm sure if I were to make
[15:55] <argv[0]> well aspell is well internationalized
[15:55] <denon> for spelling only, isn't it?
[15:55] <argv[0]> right
[15:56] <argv[0]> grammar is quite the stretch
[15:56] <argv[0]> firstly because grammar checkers rarely even work
[15:56] <denon> I was thinking you you could probably loosen the rules a bit and make it fit
[15:56] <argv[0]> even in english
[15:56] <denon> for example, no end punctuation, no beginning case checks
[15:56] <denon> perhaps only case checks on proper names
[15:57] <denon> er, proper nouns
[15:57] <argv[0]> doubt it. a complete sentence on irc is a godsend
[15:57] <denon> maybe not - fragments are all over the place
[15:57] <denon> nod
[15:57] <denon> ^^^ case in point. :)
[15:57] <argv[0]> if you cant guarantee a complete sentence, you cant guarantee any rules
[15:57] <denon> though it'd still be nice to have for some situations
[15:57] <denon> you could make it extremely unobtrusive
[15:57] <argv[0]> i really cant think of any
[15:58] <denon> well, we have some tech and sales support engines that use irc for the client
[15:58] <denon> so they should be using proper English
[15:58] <argv[0]> shrug. hire better support :)
[15:58] <denon> bahaha
[15:58] <denon> yeah, that's always good advice
[15:59] <argv[0]> my friend used to feed his emails through a grammar/spellchecker for every
[15:59] <argv[0]> it was rather embarrassing
[15:59] <argv[0]> especially when he forgot to do it
[15:59] <denon> shrugs, all my email is ..
[15:59] <denon> on the fly
[15:59] <argv[0]> yea
[15:59] <denon> doesn't every email client do it these days?
[15:59] <argv[0]> well he left it to the end
[16:00] <denon> oh, yeah, I hate those features ..
[16:00] <argv[0]> anyhow.. it didnt help, is the point
[16:00] <denon> hah
[16:00] <denon> well, I personally blame IM for kids today not knowing how to spell their own
[16:00] <denon> now, while I know IRC != IM ..
[16:00] <denon> by association, I blame IRC anyway :)(
[16:00] <denon> er :)
[16:00] * Sais is now known as SaisCysgu
[16:01] <argv[0]> probably, or declining educational standards
[16:01] <argv[0]> but thats kind of another realm
[16:01] <denon> perhaps .. but yeah, TXT and IM encourage laziness
[16:01] <denon> I suppose especially texting, given the limited keypad
[16:01] <SaisCysgu> It all started when the teachers started spelling "maths" with an 'r'
[16:01] <argv[0]> heh
[16:01] <SaisCysgu> reading, riting and rithmetic
[16:01] <denon> especially since "math" is plural already :)
[16:02] <argv[0]> actually, i would blame spell/grammar checkers for part of the problem, iro
[16:02] <argv[0]> generating an early dependence on the software
[16:02] <denon> argv[0]: so you're one of those "if they use a calculator, they don't know ho
[16:02] <SaisCysgu> denon: mahts is right-pondian ;D
[16:02] <SaisCysgu> s/ht/th/
[16:02] <denon> SaisCysgu: nod, just teasing you
[16:02] <denon> router router, roof roof, colo[u]r
[16:02] <SaisCysgu> just making sure ;D
[16:02] <argv[0]> denon they should know how to do math without the calculator, yes
[16:02] <argv[0]> the calculator is purely an efficiency thing
[16:03] <denon> argv[0]: yeah .. I'm a bit torn on that discussion
[16:03] <argv[0]> well, its far more true for grammar checkers, since theyre rarely accurate
[16:03] <denon> I think a person should understand the fundamentals, but I'm not quite sure w
[16:03] <argv[0]> any (smart) english prof would tell their students to turn their grammar ch
[16:04] <therapy> i love being lazy
[16:04] <denon> shrugs, I think it's alright - it makes you double-check your work. If it's w
[16:04] <argv[0]> not because they need to learn, but because the grammar checker will simply
[16:04] <SaisCysgu> spill chucker woks grate.
[16:04] <therapy> where are my donuts :>
[16:05] <argv[0]> denon how about this... ill make a "paper checker" that highlights every se
[16:05] <denon> there ya go!
[16:05] <SaisCysgu> denon: Yes, but you can't make a decision on whether it's wrong if you do
[16:05] <denon> SaisCysgu: well, I do know ..
[16:05] <denon> that's up to the educational system, I don't care about that :)
[16:05] <SaisCysgu> Because you were taught....
[16:06] <argv[0]> im sure it will probably surprise you to know how many people don't
[16:06] <denon> ironically, it's more because I observed from people who know ..
[16:06] <SaisCysgu> Ah, so you taught yourself :D
[16:06] <denon> I don't think my education contributed much to my linguistic skills, but bein
[16:06] <denon> surrounded
[16:06] <denon> I want my spell checker! :)
[16:06] <SaisCysgu> lol
[16:07] <argv[0]> its okay you have a grace period to fix your typos
[16:07] <argv[0]> its part of irc culture
[16:07] <denon> 30 seconds if you use regex format
[16:07] <argv[0]> 10 seconds, then we can put our gestapo uniforms on
[16:07] <denon> oh, only 10?
[16:07] <denon> gosh
[16:07] <argv[0]> im strict
[16:07] <denon> s/im/I'm/
[16:07] <SaisCysgu> Or you just leave it because "that was such an ovbious tpyo, it can't hav
[16:08] <argv[0]> its actually a complicated function dependent on line length, lag time, and
[16:08] <denon> s/anythign/anything/
[16:08] <denon> s/its/it's
[16:08] <denon> oh, wait, do I have to correct everyone's? or just mine?
[16:08] <SaisCysgu> Mine were deliberate, apart from "anythign"
[16:08] <denon> er, everyones'
[16:08] <argv[0]> you dont have to correct others you just have to make fun of them
[16:08] <denon> oy
[16:08] <argv[0]> "way to spell"
[16:08] <SaisCysgu> lol
[16:09] <sat> s/.*//gs
[16:09] <argv[0]> ouch
[16:09] <SaisCysgu> Anyway. Cysgur. nos da
[16:10] <denon> so I guess I don't need a spell-checker, I just need to write a script that m
[16:10] <denon> peoples'
[16:10] <denon> boy, that'll get me every time
[16:10] <argv[0]> yea, thats better
[16:10] <argv[0]> technical engineering vs social engineering
[16:11] <denon> the parser is mightier than the sword?
[16:11] <argv[0]> something like that
[16:11] <denon> well, it's been fun ..
[16:12] <denon> I think this is the first time someone has been of absolutely no help to my c
[16:12] * denon snickers
[16:12] <argv[0]> heh
[16:12] <argv[0]> good luck
[16:12] <denon> your nick looks familiar, do you ever work with the asterisk project, openwrt
[16:12] <argv[0]> nope

[16:13] <argv[0]> no i dont do much oss
[16:13] <denon> ah ok, mistaken identity perhaps

[16:14] <therapy> denon: do you know of democow?
[16:14] <therapy> aka: anthony
[16:14] <denon> nope
[16:14] <denon> are you asking because both of our nicks start with a "d"?
[16:14] <denon> because that's a pretty wide scope
[16:14] <therapy> because he did some work with the asterisk project
[16:14] <sat> "de"
[16:14] <therapy> Anthony AlMantis
[16:15] <denon> oh, right .. hmm, maybe he does sound familiar, now that you mention that
[16:15] <therapy> or something similar :P

[18:29] <nerdXXX> is there a /server option that you can specify the local ip to use?
[18:35] <argv[0]> the.. local ip?
[18:35] <argv[0]> what would that be fore
[18:35] <argv[0]> -e
[18:36] <nerdXXX> if there are muliple ip addresses on one machine.
[18:37] <nerdXXX> if i want to open a new server window and connect with an alternate ip addr
[18:37] <argv[0]> ah
[18:38] <nerdXXX> i know you can specify local ip in the options, but that will only work wit
[18:38] <argv[0]> there is a way to bind to an ip but i dont know if its tied to servers
