| elliottcable | let me get some terms straight - the 'channel' item is the array of all the items, as hashes, and the 'items' are hashes of { 'title' => 'blah, 'content' => 'moo hoo foo woo doo' } and so on? |
| fowlduck | not sure if it is, supposing it's not if it has extra methods |
| elliottcable | cause that's what I'm trying to get t |
| fowlduck | haven't looked closely |
| elliottcable | or at least I think it is? |
| fowlduck | you think it is, are you sure? have they added methods to make your life easier? are you trying to recreate the wheel? reinvent even |
| Olathe | elliottcable: I was just kidding. |
| smtlaissezfaire | kbrooks: Alright. Well, I'm kind of stupid, so can you explain this to me? The GNU site says that the X11/MIT license is non-copyleft, where "Copyleft is a general method for making a program or other work free, and requiring all modified and extended versions of the program to be free as well." |
| elliottcable | Olathe: lol |
| Olathe | Arrays of hashes are usually fine. |
| smtlaissezfaire | kbrooks: What does "free" here mean? |
| elliottcable | fowlduck: I just don't know... what do YOU think I need to do from here to just stuff a bunch of 'entries' into a 'something' that I can then sort by date of the entries? |
| apeiros_ | boah, $LOADED_FEATURES stinks it doesn't include $0 |
| kbrooks | smtlaissezfaire, free as in speech |
| Olathe | smtlaissezfaire: GNU's definition is something like "if you can use the software, you can modify it for yourself and others." |
| elliottcable | free as in beer > free as in speech |
| smtlaissezfaire | yeah, not as in beer |
| elliottcable | when people start believing that, our nation will go down the tubes |
| fowlduck | elliottcable: let me look a little more into it |
| Olathe | elliottcable: Too late. |
| elliottcable | fowlduck: thanks, you're going in my credits d-: lol Olathe: meh |
| fowlduck | elliottcable: lol elliottcable: heh, i was wrong, items really is just an array |
| smtlaissezfaire | kbrooks: and free as in speech, not as in beer, I take it, means that I can think, write, modify, change, etc. the code - that here free means liberty, not price. |
| elliottcable | fowlduck: im confused )-: fowlduck: I got bogged down... I was doing a good job of coding! whee! but now im confused and not sure what to do next lol |
| kbrooks | smtlaissezfaire, correct. and since free == "liberty", you can sell code ... |
| smtlaissezfaire | kbrooks: Well, thats a side effect, and not the main point. You can sell code under both models, can't you? |
| kbrooks | smtlaissezfaire, seems weird, but liberty is freedom |
| fowlduck | elliottcable: http://pastie.caboo.se/61149 |
| elliottcable | fowlduck: thanks for the rss specification link btw it wasn't dry at all, very easy to read and I learned a lot d-: |
| fowlduck | elliottcable: yeah, it's a good one :) |
| elliottcable | and that's what I thought I needed to do, thanks, I just wasn't sure how to do it |
| fowlduck | elliottcable: that pastie needs a .reverse on that array or something, it sorts with oldest first |
