IRC [18:14] <jhavard> *rawr* just wrote an oacs module so I can do more parodies of useless "breaking news" alerts that show up regularly on cnn.com
IRC [18:14] <jhavard> man, that was way too easy.
IRC [18:17] <holycow> *high five*
IRC [18:40] <Dossy> heh.
IRC [18:40] <Dossy> jhavard's going to be another openacs hacker. heeh.
IRC [18:54] <jhavard> I've come to the realization that it's better to spend 5 minutes building off the work of others to get 99.9999% of what I want rather than months working on something that could be exactly what I want but will probably only be 0.0001% of what I want.
IRC [18:59] <Dossy> true.
IRC [18:59] <Dossy> Time to go home ...
IRC [18:59] * Dossy waves.
IRC [19:00] <holycow> hey Dossy
IRC [19:00] <holycow> jhavard, *nod* agreed
IRC [19:02] <holycow> i looked at ruby on rails recently ...
IRC [19:02] <jhavard> yet another regression?
IRC [19:03] <holycow> ... i'd love to be able to dump a bunch of cash into openacs just to get the polish up a bit
IRC [19:03] <holycow> yeah, thats one way of looking at it, its yet another framework done out of a love of a language
IRC [19:04] <holycow> admittedly it's very good work no question but i don't see any real advantages there
IRC [19:04] <holycow> outside of maybe what ruby might have over tcl it self
IRC [19:05] <jhavard> so in other words, "only if you like ruby"
IRC [19:07] <holycow> lol thats what i got out of it
IRC [19:09] <jhavard> http://www.adorama.com/IFJPG4500.html
IRC [19:09] <jhavard> that's just plain weird.
IRC [20:29] <Dossy> What's weird about it?
