[00:03]<rjj>GAH. /usr/bin/readlink sucks!
[00:03]<w|ggl|t>24.177.173.7:8000 down?
[00:04]<rgmygyus>I did it again
[00:04]<wjgcgu>OOPS
[00:04]<rgmygyus>I forgot to check which app had focuse before hitting quit
[00:05]<wjgcgu>happen often to me
[00:05]<rgmygyus>Just because I'm looking at it, doesn't mean that's what is gonna close
[00:05]<wjgcgu>when i use apple+q
[00:05]<wjgcgu>sometimes it's not on the focused application by alt-tab which is quitted
[00:07]<rgmygyus>Heh, I was looking at Camino
[00:07]<rgmygyus>But Terminal was focused
[00:07]<rgmygyus>And I was like "CMD+Q BITCHES"
[00:07]<rgmygyus>And Camino was like 'Heh. Fucktard.'
[00:07]<rgmygyus>And Terminal was like "OH GOD NO!"
[00:08]<wjgcgu>and user was like that
[00:08]<wjgcgu>:)
[00:08]<rgmygyus>And irssi was like "I love you screen."
[00:08]<rgmygyus>"I'll never lose my controlling terminal."
[00:08]<rgmygyus>They hugged, stripped, traded some bits, and might not be speaking tomorrow.
[00:09]<sxzzcxzv>aedinius: i bet you could do something with isight and eye tracking
[00:09]<sxzzcxzv>pre-emptive quit!
[00:10]<wjgcgu>eheh
[00:10]<rgmygyus>Heh
[00:10]<sxzzcxzv>that actually would be pretty cool, focus follows eyes
[00:11]<sxzzcxzv>wow, all of a sudden i am inspired to write some code.. lol
[00:11]<rgmygyus>I like code ...
[00:11]<wjgcgu>code likes me
[00:11]<gyaj__>btw, if you told the software updater to check daily for updates, when does it check exactly? does it have a time-based schedule? does it check at startup? as soon as it notices that you are connected to the net? i asked because although i checked "daily check" i've never seen anything happening (does it say/show something when it checks?)
[00:11]<wjgcgu>(that doesn't me you like me (no transitivity) :p
[00:11]<rjj>Anyone knows how I can find the absolute path to a file from the cmdline in OSX?
[00:12]<wjgcgu>basedir
[00:12]<sxzzcxzv>pwd
[00:12]<wjgcgu>basesomething perhaps
[00:12]<wjgcgu>hal@clavius:~% basename /home/hal/syssrc.tgz
[00:12]<wjgcgu>syssrc.tgz
[00:12]<wjgcgu>hal@clavius:~% dirname /home/hal/syssrc.tgz
[00:12]<wjgcgu>/home/hal
[00:12]<wjgcgu>sorry.
[00:13]<rjj>sharkhat: <command> Desktop/foo.txt should give /Users/oo/Desktop/foo.txt
[00:13]<mgvjgsvw6>wonknu: wth?
[00:13]<rjj>readlink -f on linux gives the correct result
[00:13]<usnzusnz>goo: $(pwd)/Desktop/foo.txt
[00:13]<wjgcgu>devonst17, a representativ exemple
[00:13]<wjgcgu>of what he wants
[00:13]<mgvjgsvw6>wonknu: ah
[00:14]<mgvjgsvw6>/Applications/X-Chat Aqua
[00:14]<mgvjgsvw6>:D
[00:14]<mgvjgsvw6>that was /bash pwd
[00:14]<sxzzcxzv>pwd FTW
[00:14]<wjgcgu>pwd gives you the path
[00:14]<wjgcgu>where you are
[00:14]<rjj>useruser: and if I am located somewhere else than $HOME ? :)
[00:15]<rjj>wonknu: hum, well, that's just TOO EASY DAMMIT ;) But it works, of course
[00:15]<wjgcgu>:p
[00:15]<usnzusnz>goo: it'll still work, no?
[00:15]<mgvjgsvw6>lol
[00:15]<rjj>useruser: of course. Sorry. I am stupid.
[00:15]<rjj>:(
[00:15]<usnzusnz>goo: /tmp//Users/goo/desktop/file is a valid path
[00:16]<usnzusnz>i think
[00:16]<mgvjgsvw6>o_O
[00:16]<rjj>useruser: yes, yes - You are absolutely right
[00:16]<wjgcgu>find could be use to
[00:16]<rjj><- jerk.
[00:17]<mgvjgsvw6>That _COULD_ be a valid path,
[00:17]<mgvjgsvw6>cept if you are referencing your default Users directory,
[00:17]<mgvjgsvw6>your boned
[00:17]<usnzusnz>devonst17: oh?
[00:17]<usnzusnz>devonst17: i thought // meant 'start again from /, ignoring stuff to the left'
[00:18]<mgvjgsvw6>having /tmp//Users/ doesnt get to the point where you have // and say wait, im starting over at the /
[00:18]<mgvjgsvw6>nopw.
[00:18]<mgvjgsvw6>*nope
[00:18]<usnzusnz>hm, you're right
[00:18]<usnzusnz>that's an emacism, evidently
[00:18]<mgvjgsvw6>Maybe in some weirdass shell,
[00:18]<mgvjgsvw6>Yea,
[00:18]<mgvjgsvw6>guess so
[00:18]<rjj>Uhm, no.. wont work. Because if pwd is /usr/bin and the filename passed is /Users/foo.txt then it would not work.
[00:18]<mgvjgsvw6></3 Emacs

[00:20]<2fjgmyn>roflcopter
[00:20]<2fjgmyn>ACTIVATE
[00:20]<mgvjgsvw6>foreach(*){if($_ ne "nano"){ echo "TextMate > ".$_;} }
[00:20]<rgmygyus>goo: What are you trying to do?
