10:03:52 Jazon: i am going to get my wife to learn flash and make me something like that
10:05:32 gsherman: you could start with a simple template and add some artwork/images from your study area
10:06:40 Jazon: gsherman: heh - thats my plan lol - just drooling over the fancy flash stuff..... its purrrrdy
10:07:33 Jazon: i am trying to add a forum at the moment - but cant seem to find a front end module for simpleboards - oh well... so how/where does mapserver come in?

10:41:30 timlinux: ya
10:41:43 timlinux: its <pre>
10:41:44 gsherman: what does that have to do with joomla?
10:41:55 gsherman: oh, thats content from a post
10:41:57 gsherman: i see
10:42:01 timlinux: right
10:42:14 timlinux: we just have to remember to use blah \
10:42:16 gsherman: i thought he hacked the system and snooped around : )
10:42:16 timlinux: foo \
10:42:23 timlinux: instead of blah foo
10:43:19 gsherman: so what do we use instead of pre?
10:43:32 timlinux: no you still use pre
10:43:39 timlinux: see 4 lines up
10:43:49 gsherman: i saw but didn't understand
10:43:51 gsherman: now i do
10:43:58 gsherman: break the lines artificially
10:44:02 timlinux: right
10:44:06 timlinux: I fixed
10:44:09 gsherman: gotcha
10:44:12 timlinux: but forgot all the slashes
10:44:19 timlinux: will put them in now
10:44:26 timlinux: tested usong webdev toolbar
10:44:26 gsherman: much better
10:44:40 timlinux: goodie!
10:44:54 timlinux: well have to check if there are other offending articles out there
10:45:24 timlinux: oh
10:45:26 timlinux: thats odd
10:45:29 timlinux: I had put in th eslashes
10:45:35 timlinux: but they dont render
10:45:37 gsherman: \\
10:45:41 timlinux: prolly html being
10:45:42 timlinux: yes
10:46:04 timlinux: wonder if that will still work ok for cut & pasters
10:46:09 timlinux: Ive never had to do that before
10:46:12 timlinux: all very odd
10:46:21 timlinux: though usually Ive done it in moin
10:46:30 timlinux: mayne that auto corrects for that
10:46:35 timlinux: qgis still building
10:46:55 gsherman: so gavin's first fix caused X crashes
10:47:01 gsherman: so he made it a configurable option
10:47:10 timlinux: ok
10:47:15 timlinux: still building
10:47:20 gsherman: not optimal, but until qt gets fixed i don't know what else to do
10:47:22 timlinux: havent got to bug page yet either
10:47:31 timlinux: did we file a bug report to qt
10:47:36 timlinux: or is it already known?
10:47:37 gsherman: gavin did
10:47:41 timlinux: cool
10:47:52 gsherman: with test program to replicate the error
10:47:59 timlinux: excellent
10:48:05 timlinux: Im sure they will sort it out
10:48:14 timlinux: looks like we are going to release against qt4.2 ?
10:48:29 timlinux: hopefully we'll be done by then....
10:49:15 gsherman: be done with 1.0?
10:49:22 gsherman: : )
10:49:26 gsherman: more isp email battles
10:49:28 timlinux: ok slashes reinstated
10:49:31 gsherman: they don't get it
10:49:37 timlinux: page rendering
10:49:57 gsherman: looks good -- did you use \\?
10:49:59 timlinux: will add the links to intro paragraph and then make blog the front page to make us look more newsy
10:50:02 timlinux: yes :-(
10:50:11 gsherman: and change current home to About in menu
10:50:21 timlinux: Right
10:50:24 gsherman: ok good
10:50:45 timlinux: tested cut & paste
10:50:49 timlinux: it works fine
10:50:53 timlinux: only gives one slash
10:51:05 gsherman: great, now on the the next problem : )
10:51:17 timlinux: which one ?
10:51:23 timlinux: ( from the list of 10000 )

10:51:45 timlinux: to run locally only?
10:51:55 gsherman: yes, i'm using it for keeping track of projects, etc
10:52:07 timlinux: uses moin syntax?
10:52:15 gsherman: it can export to moin ( uses exact format ) and also publish if you like
10:52:23 : * timlinux left his mac at home to make space for shopping ( cleaning gear )
10:52:36 : * timlinux had to deal with a major plumbing issue this morning

10:53:42 : * timlinux ends this unsavoury topic
10:53:47 gsherman: now you need a new seal

10:53:56 timlinux: no
10:53:58 gsherman: heh, been there done that
10:54:06 timlinux: the plumbing here is a bit unusual
10:54:21 timlinux: but I want ot put some silicon in their
10:54:35 timlinux: because the plumber who fitted the loo was a bit dodgy
10:54:57 gsherman: there goes your qgis time...
10:55:00 timlinux: its possibe for the waste water to get over the edge of the ppe into the underfloor space
10:55:05 timlinux: very dodgy
