There is a type, you repeated "sudo gem install mongrel" to install RoR, should be "sudo gem install rails"

Good, I'm going to corred the PID on the post.

The patch needs work since the button it's hardcoded and I think it would be against the uzbl spirit of doing this stuff.

I agree that the scripts render awfully on the blog, I'm going to move them there and link from here.

the number is actually the xorg window id, not the pid. That's why it's the same everytime you launch a new instance and close it again. (unlike pid's which are only seldomly reused)

Please mail your patch to the ML for (maybe) inclusion.
Also, we have a wiki for scripts/config sharing so you could post your stuff there. Your scripts and configs are very hard to read on your blog.

Anyway, glad you like it.

Oh I'm sorry been way to busy doing some other random stuff but since you want it, I'm going to finish it, thank you for bringing this back to my mind#

Thanks, I'll give it a try and do a benchmark to see if It's better to
the other solution in the above comments.

Re: Writting Circular Lists in Erlang

nonme — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 17:33:04 -0000

keep two lists {A, B} one in normal order the other reversed
To move forward do this

forward({[H|T],B}) -> {T, [H|B]};
forward({[], B}) -> forward({reverse(B),[]})

bawards is the opposite

yeah ++ is less efficient. [Push | drop_last(List)] would be better. That's what I get for coding when I'm tired. but the basic concept is the same.

Re: Writting Circular Lists in Erlang

deepspawn — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 21:24:26 -0000

Nice, I'm just repeating what I have read so far but

[Push] ++ drop_last(List)

Wouldn't it be better written as:

[ Push | drop_last(List)]

Anyway, ++ is discouraged since it makes a copy of the left operator and with long lists it would be highly inefficient, in this case it wouldn't be much of a problem but I still like more how the second one looks.

Thank you a lot for this idea, I'm guessing it's probably the best way to write it on erlang.

Re: Writting Circular Lists in Erlang

zaphar — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 18:07:56 -0000

The key is to process the list in one pass. So if I read your intent above correctly then the following should work:

%% append the Push element to the beginning of the list while dropping the last element
circular(List, Push) ->
[Push] ++ drop_last(List).

%% drop the last element from the list
drop_last([_]) ->
[];
drop_last([H|T]) ->
[H | drop_last(T)].

Re: Emacs Denting mode for laconicas (incliding identi.ca)

deepspawn — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 12:12:53 -0000

Hello, I had the very same problem but Christian Cheng sent me a patch which solves the issue. I did my work without proper search first so I duplicated a lot of your efforts and I did a merge with your code few days ago so denting-mode has most of the features you did implement. I don't know if you updated the code recently but I will check again the diffs to merge your work in.

Re: Emacs Denting mode for laconicas (incliding identi.ca)

Gabriel Saldana — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 11:55:22 -0000

hey, I just found out about denting-mode. I made my own port of twittering-mode called identica-mode a few months ago http://blog.nethazard.net/identica-mode-for-emacs I've added support for tags and groups and a global posting shortcut, maybe you can find it useful.

I'm having the same trouble with the xml parsing thing. Have you been able to fix it? The problem is that when it fetches the feed, the xml has some weird char codes inside the xml tag, thus breaking the parsing. I reported this behavior to laconica developers, but they claim their feed is okay. Twitter's feed has no problems though.

Sorry for taking so long, well It's not so hard

line 661 of current denting-mode.el

648 (defun denting-http-post-default-sentinel (proc stat &optional suc-msg)
649
650 (condition-case err-signal
651 (let ((header (denting-get-response-header))
652 ;; (body (denting-get-response-body)) not used now.
653 (status nil))
654 (string-match "HTTP/1\.1 \\([a-z0-9 ]+\\)\r?\n" header)
655 (setq status (match-string-no-properties 1 header))
656 (case-string status
657 (("200 OK")
658 (message (if suc-msg suc-msg "Success: Post")))
659 (t (message status)))
660 )
661 (error (message (prin1-to-string err-signal))))
662 )

You can replace it with:

(error (message "Failed")))

You will replace the annoying message for a brief "Failed" message, it will not solve the issue but at least will not bug you with the full error. I will keep the full error printing for now, since maybe I can do a proper fix of the problem.

hey deepspawn, what do you mean by "shutting the hell out of it by capturing the error" -- sorry, not really a coder, don't quite get what you mean.
not sure it'sthe api limit since it now seems to come up every time, not just occasionally. though now i think of it, gwibber was up on this machine as well, will shut it down and try in a few minutes.

my wrapper funciton looks a lot like the one you built, though yours is a little bit better. thanks! -- matt

Re: Emacs Denting mode for laconicas (incliding identi.ca)

deepspawn — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 11:58:55 -0000

Yes I have the same problem, it's a bit annoying but totally harmless, it's just the xml parser failing from time to time to parse the laconica response. For a quick fix I only can think about shutting the hell out of it by capturing the error. On the proper way to solve the problem, it would require to figure out why the twitter/identica serves bad xml and correct it. My bets are on the api limit(so maybe just setting up the update interval to a larger number might fix it)

Also you can avoid the wrapper function by using the identi.cas twitter bridge on your account settings. If you really want that function I think it would be something like this:

(defun multi-update-status-from-minibuffer (&optional init-str)
(if (null init-str) (setq init-str ""))
(let ((status init-str))
(setq status (read-from-minibuffer "status: " status nil nil nil nil t))
(denting-update-status-if-not-blank status)
(twittering-update-status-if-not-blank status)))

Hi,

thanks for this! it's great to have a denting mode. at first it worked great for me, but for some reaosn now i keep getting an xml error that i don't understand at all. I tried twittering mode and do not get a similar error with them. Here's the backtrace:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "XML: (Not Well-Formed) Invalid end tag (expecting in_reply_to_user_id) at pos 8365")
signal(error ("XML: (Not Well-Formed) Invalid end tag (expecting in_reply_to_user_id) at pos 8365"))

do you ever see anything like this, or have any debugging suggestions? i'd just written a wrapper function that double-poststo twitter and identi.ca, so now i'm bummed it's not working! thanks,
matt

Re: Disqus comments now on Valkertown

deepspawn — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 08:45:56 -0000

Well all my old comments that were imported wrongly to disqus will have to stay like that.

If disqus could do a real deleteion of comments I could run import again and that should fix it. But even when they are deleted, disqus keeps them and when I try to import them again it doesn't update the posts or create new ones.

Re: Disqus comments now on Valkertown

deepspawn — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 02:51:36 -0000

Managed to fix it, now I have to see how disqus handles it since it first imported the wrongly encoded plugins and now it has to import the properly encoed. Will it create duplicates or will it update them properly.
