| [03:14] | <elvstone> | nerochiaro: ah. i used positron. it worked great. but thanks! |
| [15:44] | <nerochiaro> | JoeBorn: just read your open letter. well written |
| [15:45] | <JoeBorn> | Thanks. |
| [15:45] | <JoeBorn> | the html is cory doctorow's suggestion |
| [15:45] | <JoeBorn> | which is a good one I think, but it's a little screwed up,the formatting. |
| [15:46] | <nerochiaro> | the suggestion was to use html in place of a closed format like, say, word ? |
| [15:47] | <nerochiaro> | and anyway, doesn't seem screwed up in formatting at all |
| [15:48] | <nerochiaro> | you just have to adjust the TITLE tag, doesn't look good |
| [15:49] | <JoeBorn> | I can do that. |
| [15:55] | <JoeBorn> | nope, don't even know how to do that. |
| [15:55] | <JoeBorn> | aaaaarrrrrrrrggggggghhhhh! |
| [15:56] | <nerochiaro> | take it easy ;) if you don't plan to review the doc any more, you can just alter it in the HTML itself. |
| [15:59] | <nerochiaro> | well, anyway. did contacting representatives hold any weight in US politics ? I ask because i'm not very knowledgeable with that, and around here where i live most of the people have so little faith in our politicians that don't even bother doing something like that anymore |
| [15:59] | <nerochiaro> | hopefully in the US it is still worth something |
| [16:02] | <JoeBorn> | no, it works here, if there's a public outcry, the representatives will listen. |
| [16:05] | <nerochiaro> | that's reassuring. let's hope enough people step up then. btw, did you manage to read that speech by doctorow i gave you the link to some time ago ? |
| [16:08] | <JoeBorn> | yes I did, I read the whole thing |
| [16:10] | <nerochiaro> | excellent. i take you did you find it interesting, then ? |
| [16:10] | <nerochiaro> | given the fact you seem to be in contact with doctorow himself seems like an indication of that |
| [17:57] | <JoeBorn> | can you guys try this open.neurostechnology.com |
| [17:58] | <JoeBorn> | try it if you aren't logged in to the site |
| [18:25] | <iswm> | "Put another way, trying to reduce copyright piracy by closing the Analog Hole is like outlawing the sun roof to prevent thieves from stealing car stereos." |
| [18:25] | <iswm> | That made me laugh for a good 3 or 4 minutes, JoeBorn. |
| [18:26] | <Eagle_Fire> | loads fine for me |
| [18:29] | <Eagle_Fire> | well-written, joe |
| [18:40] | <chreekat> | The content is great, but is there any reason you have 20+ extra <p>'s at the end of the document? |
| [18:42] | <chreekat> | Also, it looks like you have a useful CSS <style> in the header, but then still use (identical) style options for each <p>. You could just put the 'margin-left: ...' in the style at the top and take out the others. :) |
| [18:43] | <chreekat> | oh, openoffice generated it. :) that explains it |
| [18:44] | <chreekat> | I spent the last month learning HTML and light-speed to get some project done. It kinda jumps to the front of my attention now |
| [18:44] | <chreekat> | er, than's 'HTML /at/ light-speed' |
| [18:45] | <chreekat> | *that's |
| [18:45] | <chreekat> | oy. |
| [21:35] | <Adam9> | another toledoan |
| [23:58] | <JoeBorn-having> | I'd like to add a link to the IRC itself from OdNT |
| [23:58] | <JoeBorn-having> | what's the HTML for that? |
| [23:59] | <Eagle_Fire> | "#neuros on irc.freenode.net" |
| [23:59] | <Eagle_Fire> | i don't think there are any official IRC url handlers |
