A day's worth of Twitter (64)

[afuna]

00:33:37	—	I changed the logic, now I need to retest all my pages again by visiting them logged in/logged out! crap!
00:33:48	—	but for all my grumbling, I really like what I am doing at the moment :)
00:34:47	—	need to file bug about all (most?) test cases currently unable to run
00:51:28	—	hmm stc/widgets/navstripchooser.css js/colorpicker.js appears to be ljcom, though it is referenced from need_res in the public code
00:52:56	—	hmmm or maybe it is not under ljcom, but was just not committed? I dunno
05:55:35	—	5:55 am! birds chirping outside! Night!
05:59:36	—	oooh the birds have stopped chirping, which makes it feel more 4-amish
11:47:16	—	I suspect it doesn't end with Day 7 :-)
12:37:09	—	hee too much money in TWEWY. Going into random stores and buying everything. Should find the one with the bigger wallet..
13:15:06	—	ummm the gamesmaster boss fight was very easy :(
13:43:28	—	hmm how do you evolve mastered pins?
14:18:04	—	K, I think I've worked out the kinks in the backend. Now to work on the frontend (setting)
14:19:36	—	I should probably warn (belatedly) that I may end up putting down all my decisions/stuff I am working on/stuff I am trying to decide on/ ...
14:20:00	—	and a lot of these will be *wrong* or end up as a dead end. Don't laugh at me (too hard) please :-)
15:14:37	—	oooh makeusable, not makeuseable for texttool *G*
15:15:10	—	do I need to restart after running texttool? if I understand correctly, I shouldn't!
15:15:49	—	oh wait but maybe I need to because Widgets are in cgi-bin, so I need to reload them?
15:16:10	—	excited. Please work!
15:16:34	—	once the rendering is okay, I can get started on the posting... OHHHH it worked!
15:30:34	—	hmm wish there were an easy way to put a default value if the prop is undefined for the user :)
15:30:49	—	well the ternary operator works well enough.
15:34:46	—	trying to tease apart the display logic (where) versus the color logic (dark/light/custom) is tiring :-(
16:19:27	—	looking up the map function in perl, see if I can map an array to a hash, value based on the array index
16:19:41	—	um but map gave me something about unicode :(
16:32:45	—	what was the special variable again to find the curent index in perl?
17:04:59	—	oh! perldoc -f map to get the documentation for the builtin function!
17:36:21	—	looking up FSAG
17:36:47	—	hmm I am pretty sure the context I saw it in did not mean Free Software Association of Germany!
17:39:44	—	OMG brother is getting Battlestar galactica. I CAN FINALLY SEE IT
17:59:23	—	aha 'o conf init urllist" to enter the interactive mode for settting urls
18:14:15	—	*gleeful* right now. Finally getting Perl hash references straight in my head
18:37:09	—	I wonder under what circumstances a user cannot modify the navstrip?
18:41:22	—	whoa, navstrip logic is *complex*. Props to whoever managed to fulfill all these requirements with all these constraints
18:41:42	—	luckily, am working with slightly less restraints, so I can detangle some of it...
18:55:26	—	trying to figure out why this code does not work: $given_control_strip_display |= $post->{control_strip_display} foreach my $display_ ...
18:55:32	—	heeee. having fun ^_^;;
18:56:14	—	I wonder if there is an interactive perl console, similar to irb?
18:58:36	—	oooh perl -e -e 1?
19:03:34	—	oh hehee I think I see what I did.
19:16:54	—	aha, you do not get a choice of variable for the postfix foreach. So instead of expression foreach my $var(@list), want expression forea ...
19:17:04	—	I am such a perl newbie :-(
19:18:26	—	*but*... I am so *happy*
19:21:17	—	IT WORKS. Sort of
19:21:32	—	it only ever saves *one* option. I am not sure why
19:23:29	—	I suspect it is not being converted to an int? or something. Hrrm
19:24:02	—	or rather, the |= ends up touching something in the character/string?
19:26:43	—	trying adding a 0..
19:29:04	—	hm actually, let me see what I'm actually dealing with. Print print print...
19:33:20	—	ooooh the thing that handles posts just concatenated my values?
19:39:16	—	looking for an LJ page with a lot of checkboxes :-) Pau suggested support board with supportclose, so doing that now
19:40:09	—	oooh or the update page!
19:45:15	—	*blinsk* LJ does not do the checkboxes==>array thing. Somehow I did not expect that
19:52:25	—	hmm unpack("H*", $posted_string) gives me 310032 (corresponding to 1[strangechar]2). sooo... 00?
20:22:50	—	eeeeh for now, splitting up the string by the \0 byte. AND IT WORKS
20:24:39	—	it works it works it works. I am cackling with gleeee
20:34:42	—	aha, I can see where it happens (parse_inputs in bml/lib/Apache/BML.pm
20:35:26	—	and it looks like it is deliberate. (Not that it could have been anything but?) so that is a relief. I feel safe(r) about just splitting ...
20:38:25	—	okay, so the "what displays where/when" seems to be okay. Now I need to finish ironing out the color!
21:50:12	—	does grass grow faster than paint dries?
22:11:13	—	hooray, been keeping up better with friends page. only ?skip=200
22:35:59	—	ooooh the CSS is there! it just is not included in whatever is building the page. but files there yay
22:47:15	—	hmmm saw this article about controlling devices with your tongue http://tinyurl.com/553aup? (for paralyzed, mostly)
23:15:12	—	aha, taking advantage of push email servers (instead of polling) in Mail.app http://tinyurl.com/6cb89w
23:28:57	—	oooh aha. I got it, I need another hook for the control_strip_stylesheet_link
