22:19:04 wegster zerohero, no it's not, I'm still working.
22:19:15 wegster zerohero, and of course he doesn't, he does entirely too many ports for that ;-)
22:19:31 zerohero wegster: i'll take your word for it
22:19:37 zerohero :)
22:19:40 wegster heheh

22:20:25 zerohero nicomen: is on some secret betachannel with all the betawarez, he could probably summon him ;)
22:20:31 zerohero bah
22:20:34 zerohero -:
22:20:59 zerohero and still no upd4
22:21:10 zerohero frustrating

22:47:09 jahc back soon geggedy geggedy geggedy
22:49:06 ssolie life, don't talk to me about life [sigh]
22:49:50 zerohero i've given up all thoughts about it
22:50:03 zerohero my wife insists on my trying to have one anyway
22:50:11 zerohero me
22:52:49 ssolie pfft.. wives.. what do they know? [check to make sure mine is not watching]
22:53:33 zerohero lol
22:53:35 wegster rofl, see zerohero what'd I tell ya? ;-)
22:53:42 wegster ssolie, part you missed:
22:53:52 wegster wegster meh, where's ssolie when ya need him?
22:53:52 wegster zerohero it's friday night, maybe he has a life?

22:53:57   -!- * wegster waits for ssolie to come in and bitchslap him now.. ;-)
22:54:06 ssolie lol
22:54:10 wegster ;-)
22:54:21 ssolie she isn't around at the moment but we do have plans this evening so there :-P
22:54:29 wegster ssolie, wanted to pick your brains and see if you might have an idea on something I need to do (not aos)
22:54:32 wegster ssolie, go you! ;-)
22:54:41 ssolie mmmm.. brains
22:54:45 wegster grin..
22:55:37 wegster ok, so....I have a 'test description' file which is bascially an xml representation of a security test, hundreds of them..need to write a prser to convert them into actual code. To further make things obnoxious, I need to output either shell, python OR VBScript.
22:56:20 wegster I can write the parser in any language I choose (yay?), but can NOT change the definition files as I'm essentially stuck reverse engineering someone else's engine.
22:56:31 wegster (which the desc xml files are input for).
22:57:08 wegster got any especially cool lib or even language that you know of handles xml sanely enough but does well for building a parser?
22:57:33 ssolie I've heard good things about python's xml parser.. (sorry, haven't used it personally)
22:58:54 wegster nod, I've used their xmlrpc lib before, can do it in python but wondering if there may be something better suited for handling it.
22:59:20 wegster and wrote a partial xml parser anyways in python but still, never know what else might be more suitable etc.
22:59:31 ssolie well, underneath it is all pretty much expat anyway; just pick one that you like interface wise
23:00:31 wegster nod, thinking the xml parsing isn't actually so bad, that's pretty standardly available nowadays, but building the parser itself? ptyhon as good as any or is there any lib/module or even lang may be better suited? (ok, perhaps besides yacc? ;-)
23:01:03 ssolie don't build an xml parser.. that has been done to death; I suggest using an existing lib and building with it
23:01:22 zerohero iksemel? :)
23:01:25 ssolie and parsing xml is non-trivial btw if you fully support xml
23:01:48 ssolie sounds like your input files are rather simple though
23:02:25 wegster ssolie, nod, not going to build a new xml parser, sorry, meant something useful in building a code generator
23:02:46 wegster yes, input files are limited, they're xml but not extensible beyond a certain point.
23:02:56 ssolie ah, python again has solutions we use.. cheetah I believe it is called
23:03:03 wegster zerohero, wtf is that?
23:03:14 wegster cheetah? Hmm, never heard of that one..?
23:03:19 zerohero wegster: jabber's xml parsing library :)
23:03:31 ssolie we use it to generate c++ code but it can be used to gen anything
23:04:00 ssolie http://www.cheetahtemplate.org/
23:04:03 wegster ssolie sweet, that may well be worth looking at
23:04:41 ssolie we use python for a lot of similar jobs now
23:05:04 ssolie python plus libs of course :)
23:05:17 wegster ssolie, hrm it _must_ do html input or not?
23:05:23 wegster nod, sure.
23:05:46 wegster hang on, looking at their example that may be their output file, one sec
23:21:22 ssolie ttfn
23:21:23   <-- ssolie has left #AmigaDev
23:23:25 zerohero wegster: btw, what's your take on the fact troika doesn't list any sound on their page atm?
23:27:51 wegster what happened to 'kros' or whatever?
23:28:06 wegster I'd say it's likely it means they couldn't find a replacement chip and may or may not have done so yet
23:28:34 zerohero "kryptos"
23:28:50 zerohero doesn't sound as a soundchip to me :)
23:29:16 zerohero not having a sound chip by this time shouldn't be an option really
23:29:22 zerohero but maybe it is :(
23:30:18 wegster heh no kidding.
23:30:28 wegster more bad move by troika 'advertising' imo
23:30:37 wegster I googled it before, came up blank
23:31:24 zerohero yeah, does sound like cryptic whatever
23:31:56 zerohero but i would want to know what happened to those two runs they were supposed to have before x-mas 2005
23:32:28 zerohero they don't post anymore either, do they?
23:32:44 zerohero haven't seen them in a while now, not even "interesting"
23:32:53 wegster naah they ignore everyone for the most part, never any real info, no clarifications, etc. Sucky 'business' IMO.
23:33:37 zerohero uhm, you were never this direct before, having a bad day? ;)
23:34:31 wegster lol naah, tired of much BS, little info etc etc, like most are, and semi-annoyed they do nothing that could clarify things for all.
23:34:38 wegster even without giving 'full info' etc.
23:34:56 zerohero full info isn't so bad :)
23:35:26 wegster nod, but 'more info/clarity' even withough 'full info' would still be better than this.
23:35:37 wegster so much for learning from eyetech.
23:35:42 zerohero hehe
23:36:07 zerohero "business school for amigans"
23:37:49 wegster rofl, seems it's needed, no?
23:38:05 zerohero we have it already, it's a big success ;)
23:38:29 zerohero not sure how it started, but i'm sure boxer were there :P
23:39:28 wegster lol uh huh
