AIM [09:15] <POLearyUK> (***) <- tummy full, after lunch :)
IRC [09:25] * leff back from meeting :)
AIM [09:25] <POLearyUK> short meeting, anyone turn up?
IRC [09:26] <leff> yeah.. it's just a daily status meeting our team has.
IRC [09:26] <leff> today, nothing to report. :)
AIM [09:26] <POLearyUK> that's a bad sign- it's too quiet :)
IRC [09:30] <leff> calm before the storm.
AIM [09:31] <POLearyUK> you never see the guy with the baseball bat if he stands behind you :)
IRC [09:33] <leff> hahaha
IRC [09:33] <leff> such a calming thought.
AIM [09:34] <POLearyUK> hee hee, wait till i tell you about my dreams :-P
AIM [09:34] <POLearyUK> hey adam, ever have anyone complain of getting a message in MSIE "Operation Aborted" ?
IRC [09:38] <leff> not that I've ever heard of.
AIM [09:40] <POLearyUK> hmm, have developers complaining of it- trying to track down if theres an adp_abort occuring somewhere or is it's purely client side.. it's being a pain :(
IRC [09:53] <Dossy> pat, if your dreams involve baseball bats, i think you need medical attention.
IRC [09:53] <Dossy> pat: the f@#$-up fairy paying your developers a visit?
AIM [09:54] <POLearyUK> hee hee, with a vengence
IRC [11:24] *** frankie joined the chat.
IRC [11:50] <jhavard> here's a question... what alternatives are there to acs-derived systems?

AIM [12:56] <POLearyUK> right time to go to the pub :-D
AIM [12:56] *** POLearyUK joined the chat.
IRC [12:56] <Dossy> hey, adam you there?
IRC [12:56] <Dossy> jhavard: build your own. or, come work at AOL.
IRC [12:56] <Dossy> or, come work at AOL and build your own. :)
IRC [13:07] <Dossy> pat, are you there?
IRC [13:07] <Dossy> or are you already at the pub? :)
IRC [13:08] <Dossy> forget pat,
IRC [13:08] <Dossy> ho

IRC [13:08] <Dossy> damn, he's not on
IRC [13:09] *** jader joined the chat.
IRC [13:16] *** leff parted the chat.
IRC [13:48] *** cd34 parted the chat.
IRC [15:01] <Dossy> argh.
IRC [15:06] <jcollins1> i bet
IRC [15:07] <Dossy> heh
IRC [15:21] <jhavard> hrm.
IRC [15:22] <jhavard> I need a way to define generic objects, or come up with an even lazier way of doing it
IRC [15:23] <Dossy> any time people mention the need for objects, they generally don't understand their problem domain. :)
IRC [15:23] <Dossy> Exactly what are you trying to *do* ?
IRC [15:23] <jhavard> by "object" I mean a set of data
IRC [15:24] <jhavard> but now that I think about it, doing the "generic" thing is silly.
IRC [15:25] <jhavard> that's what tables in a database are
IRC [15:25] <jhavard> or files in a filesystem.
IRC [15:28] <jhavard> all I really need is a way of presenting it, either raw or in a template.
IRC [15:29] <jhavard> it should actually be quite simple.
IRC [15:29] * jhavard gets to work.
IRC [15:40] <Dossy> `tables in a database are also lists of lists.
