[11:04] | Enkidu Linden: | i found a bunch of papers on greco-roman architecture you'd probably like |
[11:04] | Enkidu Linden: | but they are, literally, paper |
[11:04] | Youri Ashton: | lol, could scan them for me, then i can try to create something here in sl for ya |
[11:05] | Enkidu Linden: | hopefully i can find them online instead |
[11:05] | Enkidu Linden: | scanning is not my favorite |
[11:05] | Youri Ashton: | also good :p |
[11:05] | Youri Ashton: | i dont have a scanner myself |
[11:06] | Youri Ashton: | no where around a plain scanner without the extra junk attached |
[11:06] | Enkidu Linden: | haha |
[11:06] | Enkidu Linden: | i could scan it, print a copy, and fax it to you |
[11:06] | Enkidu Linden: | one button! |
[11:06] | Youri Ashton: | dont have a fax machine either :p |
[11:07] | Youri Ashton: | just for my normal phone installed as well yesterday |
[11:07] | Youri Ashton: | first normal phone i ever had |

[11:09] | Enkidu Linden: | i've been super busy with my current project |
[11:09] | Youri Ashton: | whats that? :) |
[11:09] | Enkidu Linden: | can't discuss yet |

[11:09] | Savino Dagostino: | Hi Enkidu |
[11:09] | Youri Ashton: | not gonne try to drag it out of you either :p |
[11:09] | Enkidu Linden: | hi savino |
[11:10] | Enkidu Linden: | hopefully we'll stop being so secretive |
[11:10] | Youri Ashton: | lol, yeah. kinda annoying if you ask me. |
[11:11] | Youri Ashton: | if LL wants residents to help out and think along, it really has to open up |
[11:11] | Enkidu Linden: | yes, my thoughts exactly |
[11:11] | Youri Ashton: | progress is being halted thanks to this secretive ideas |
[11:11] | Enkidu Linden: | on that subject, we did start opening up the viewer |
[11:12] | Youri Ashton: | like how? what specific things? |
[11:12] | Youri Ashton: | hey eddi |
[11:12] | Eddi Decosta: | heya ㋡ |
[11:12] | Enkidu Linden: | welcome! |
[11:12] | Youri Ashton: | new avi i see :p |
[11:12] | Eddi Decosta: | hi Enki, how are you? ㋡ |
[11:12] | Enkidu Linden: | i am doing good |
[11:12] | Eddi Decosta: | Youri, yep ㋡ |
[11:12] | Savino Dagostino: | HI eddi. |
[11:13] | Eddi Decosta: | hi Savino ㋡ |
[11:13] | Youri Ashton: | cant see everything, since im on my laptop, darned thing cant take much :( |
[11:13] | Youri Ashton: | plus wireless... |
[11:13] | Enkidu Linden: | um, that's a good question, youri |
[11:13] | Youri Ashton: | question? |
[11:13] | Enkidu Linden: | i'm not a viewer dev though |
[11:14] | Enkidu Linden: | about specific ways the viewer is more open |
[11:14] | Youri Ashton: | :) |
[11:14] | Eddi Decosta: | lol Enki, not my part bu i love to play with the xml thing :p |
[11:14] | Eddi Decosta: | but* |
[11:15] | Enkidu Linden: | hopefully there's a blog post somewhere about the viewer stuff |
[11:15] | Savino Dagostino: | enkidu, who is the best Linden to talk to about viewers, and compilation thereof? |
[11:15] | Enkidu Linden: | let me see if i can find one |
[11:15] | Youri Ashton: | think it might be good that i had a talk with Philip about it, he may get the point it i gave it, could at least try :p |
[11:15] | Youri Ashton: | wasnt that merov? |
[11:15] | Enkidu Linden: | indeed! |
[11:15] | Enkidu Linden: | merov's a great person to ask |
[11:15] | Youri Ashton: | wasnt merov mostly in the viewer part? |
[11:15] | Savino Dagostino: | Great. What about Andrews? |
[11:16] | Youri Ashton: | he is with snowglobe at least |
[11:16] | Youri Ashton: | andrew is for server |
[11:16] | Eddi Decosta: | Enki, true i have asked him for an integration of dysplay names , in the 1.23 ㋡ |
[11:16] | Eddi Decosta: | display* |
[11:16] | Savino Dagostino: | Ahhh, well, that leaves Andrew out then <chuckles> |
[11:16] | Enkidu Linden: | i don't think that will happen |
[11:16] | Eddi Decosta: | i do the part of communicate tab_container :p |
[11:16] | Enkidu Linden: | i believe we are only doing critical bug fixes in 1.23 now |
[11:17] | Youri Ashton: | ask merov, he may be able to direct you to the best answer about the viewers |
[11:17] | Eddi Decosta: | i get some headhache to ;p |
[11:17] | Youri Ashton: | so... 1.24 will come then? |
[11:17] | Youri Ashton: | or 1.23.6? |
[11:17] | Savino Dagostino: | I'm looking at x64 bit versions of the viewers...merov is the one to talk to about? |
[11:17] | Youri Ashton: | 64bit is not good supported yet |
[11:18] | Eddi Decosta: | if you see i have some bugs ;p |
[11:18] | Youri Ashton: | none of the official viewers has a proper support for it at this time |
[11:18] | Savino DagostinoSavino | Dagostino nods Yep, thats one of my questions. There are a lot of SL residents that need it. |
[11:18] | Youri Ashton: | however, i understood merov was poking at that issue |
[11:18] | Enkidu Linden: | no, we're committed to 2.x moving forward |
[11:18] | Savino Dagostino: | I'm actually running Phoenix x64 now, with my own compile/build. |
[11:19] | Youri Ashton: | why update 1.23.5 then? |
[11:19] | Youri Ashton: | a update would suggest a new version will be released for that |
[11:19] | Enkidu Linden: | hmm |
[11:19] | Youri Ashton: | lol |
[11:19] | Youri Ashton: | got ya dont i :p |
[11:20] | Eddi Decosta: | hmmm, honestly y rhin the 1.23 could be killed to give the place at 1.4 or 1,5 snowglobe ;p |
[11:20] | Eddi Decosta: | think* |
[11:20] | Eddi Decosta: | no? |
[11:20] | Enkidu Linden: | well, i'm not a source of truth on viewer issues, but my understanding is we're not planning work around 1.x anymore, just 2.x |
[11:20] | Youri Ashton: | snowglobe is a seperate project ;) |
[11:20] | Enkidu Linden: | snowglobe is the opensource viewer, which i think also has a 1.x and 2.x version |
[11:20] | Youri Ashton: | [11:16] Enkidu Linden: i believe we are only doing critical bug fixes in 1.23 now |
[11:21] | Enkidu Linden: | yeah, i think that's the case |
[11:21] | Eddi Decosta: | Enki, yeah just on 2.x but its not my tea yet , cause that side bar, i see some interesting thing on snowstrom viewer, but its not my dreams yet :p |
[11:21] | Savino Dagostino: | Yep, snowglobe has those 2 forks. And Phoenix is based on snowglobe source. |
[11:21] | Youri Ashton: | a critical bug fix, but no new 1.23.... wouldnt that be a dumb thing to do then? waste of time if you ask me :p |
[11:22] | Enkidu Linden: | keep an eye on snowstorm |
[11:22] | Eddi Decosta: | Savini, the third party viewer have no choice to take the pase on snowglobe source ㋡ |
[11:22] | Enkidu Linden: | oh i see what you mean |
[11:22] | Youri Ashton: | id say fix the bug, and release a new 1.23 |
[11:22] | Enkidu Linden: | yes, there would be a new point release of 1.23 if we had to patch something critical |
[11:22] | Savino Dagostino: | snowstorm? |
[11:22] | Youri Ashton: | thats why i said, new version of 1.23? :p[ |
[11:22] | Youri Ashton: | savino: snowglobe |
[11:22] | Savino Dagostino: | Eddi, very true. |
[11:23] | Savino Dagostino: | I'm running Phoenix/Snowglobe compiled to Linux x64 now. But voice doesnt work, and would love to have KDU support for better texture support. |
[11:24] | Youri Ashton: | voice is only in-direct part of the viewer |
[11:24] | Savino Dagostino: | I think only LL can provide vivox and kdu in x64 format. |
[11:24] | Youri Ashton: | its a external server |
[11:25] | Savino Dagostino: | True, but it uses local client/lib stuff to voip to the servers |
[11:25] | Eddi Decosta: | i runs imprudence for my part.. cause the phoenix have some trouble with the silent close, and i dont trust that ... |
[11:25] | Eddi Decosta: | when i talk i in meeting i love to stay online and dont lost the focus cause a stupid crash :p |
[11:26] | Savino DagostinoSavino | Dagostino nods I havent seen that issue yet in Phoenix. I know that when the Phoenix window looses focus, it slows downa nd gives up CPU cycles |
[11:26] | Youri Ashton: | atleast emerald got banned |
[11:27] | Youri Ashton: | its nice to see people express their ideas in their viewers, but not if it causes grief to others |
[11:27] | Savino DagostinoSavino | Dagostino nods Which is good and bad. Some the devs really did da bad things, but overall it was a good viewer. |
[11:28] | Youri Ashton: | it wasnt actually, it was a mess. all kinds of things mixed into a viewer doesnt make it a 'good' viewer |
[11:29] | Savino Dagostino: | It was good from the perspective that it was highly popular, pretty stable and had features that most SL residents wanted and liked. |
[11:29] | Youri Ashton: | i dont mind the nice features it had |
[11:29] | Savino Dagostino: | Under the covers it was a code-mess, but SL residents dont care about that. |
[11:30] | Youri Ashton: | i was rather reffering to the extra added junk that never should have been added |
[11:30] | Savino Dagostino: | Anyway, I dont mean to distract from the intent of your office hours, enkidu. |
[11:30] | Youri Ashton: | the building window for example was holding new prim blocks |
[11:30] | Youri Ashton: | prim blocks that were rather useless |
[11:30] | Savino Dagostino: | I was just looking to see who to talk to about viewers...looks like merov is the guy. |
[11:31] | Youri Ashton: | yeah, i think he is the best to talk to |
[11:31] | Savino Dagostino: | And I'm assuming he holds office hours..?? |
[11:31] | Youri Ashton: | either he can give a answer, or he can give a name of the correct linden |
[11:31] | Youri Ashton: | hmm,.... monday's and thursdays i think |
[11:32] | Youri Ashton: | no script zone, so cant look it up for you |
[11:32] | Enkidu Linden: | ..and he's a nice guy! |
[11:32] | Youri Ashton: | lol, yup |
[11:32] | Youri Ashton: | really should try to get him into a discussion, really can heat up :p |
[11:32] | Savino Dagostino: | Great! Thanks...I apprecaite the info! |
[11:33] | Enkidu Linden: | anything webby you guys want to discuss today? |
[11:34] | Youri Ashton: | not sure actually :p |
[11:34] | Youri Ashton: | had a topic? |
[11:34] | Enkidu Linden: | nothing specific this week |
[11:34] | Youri Ashton: | something not specific then? :p |
[11:36] | Youri Ashton: | hi lyv |
[11:36] | Lyv Larix: | hi |
[11:36] | Enkidu Linden: | hello there |
[11:36] | Youri Ashton: | could talk about the temple, you still need your own office here ;) |
[11:37] | Enkidu Linden: | there was a recent blog post about integrating pagespeed results into webpagetest.org |
[11:37] | Enkidu Linden: | that's pretty cool |
[11:39] | Youri Ashton: | website pages must be pretty quick to load |
[11:39] | Youri Ashton: | people dont like things that load very slow |
[11:39] | Enkidu Linden: | that's so true |
[11:40] | Enkidu Linden: | i'm running webpagetest.org on secondlife.com now |
[11:40] | Enkidu Linden: | it's going to be great |
[11:40] | Youri Ashton: | i been telling that for over a year, but no one really was listening to me at the lab |
[11:40] | Youri Ashton: | just because i am 'just a resident' |
[11:40] | Enkidu Linden: | there's a web optimization movement going on within the lab |
[11:40] | Youri Ashton: | i proven more then once that i do know what im talking about :p |
[11:41] | Enkidu Linden: | no, no, we hear you on that point |
[11:41] | Youri Ashton: | i didnt say you wernt enk :p |
[11:41] | Youri Ashton: | your one of the few that actually do listen |
[11:41] | Enkidu Linden: | thanks! |
[11:41] | Youri Ashton: | :) |
[11:42] | Enkidu Linden: | any particular pages you think are too slow? |
[11:42] | Youri Ashton: | hi loane |
[11:42] | Youri Ashton: | havnt been testing myself |
[11:42] | Youri Ashton: | can take a look next week if you like |
[11:42] | Youri Ashton: | wb lyv |
[11:43] | Enkidu Linden: | we have about 15 minutes left, so we could spend it picking on a page |
[11:43] | Youri Ashton: | ok, lemme get the link up |
[11:43] | Loane Rhosar: | Hi all |
[11:43] | Enkidu Linden: | i see that our homepage has gotten slower since i looked at it last |
[11:44] | Enkidu Linden: | hi loane |
[11:44] | Eddi Decosta: | Enki, do you think its possible to do one case for login on the webpage like jira or secondlife.com? |
[11:44] | Youri Ashton: | good one eddi |
[11:44] | Eddi Decosta: | cause i dont understend the logic on that the viewer 2.x have one case for the entire username and i dont know why the website have 2 case for my username .. :p |
[11:45] | Youri Ashton: | for that matter, why not a single login for the official website, jira and sl wiki.... |
[11:45] | Enkidu Linden: | actually...... |
[11:45] | Youri Ashton: | can solve the stress in that department |
[11:45] | Enkidu Linden: | we are moving toward single sign on with our openid hosts |
[11:45] | Eddi Decosta: | you dont have a date ?? |
[11:46] | Enkidu Linden: | well, a lot of it is already up and running |
[11:46] | Enkidu Linden: | for web, that is |
[11:46] | Eddi Decosta: | cause i dont know if i need to use eddi.decosta on the future for mylogin ㋡ |
[11:46] | Youri Ashton: | well, at least there is a start :p |
[11:46] | Enkidu Linden: | oh, great question |
[11:46] | Youri Ashton: | good to see something asked for is finally added :p |
[11:47] | Youri Ashton: | oh! something else... |
[11:47] | Enkidu Linden: | well, basically if you see a login form of any sort, if it only has one field for username, you can put eddi.decosta OR Eddi Decosta |
[11:47] | Enkidu Linden: | if it has two, you definitely need to enter first and last name separate |
[11:47] | Youri Ashton: | on the billing pages you can see only a few days back, why not allow everyone to download it in pdf format per month? |
[11:48] | Eddi Decosta: | ok, thanks enki ㋡ |
[11:48] | Youri Ashton: | for all financial traffic |
[11:48] | Enkidu Linden: | one more thing: you can't use the display name to login |
[11:48] | Youri Ashton: | its rather annoying you can not see what is going on if you get on holiday for example |
[11:48] | Eddi Decosta: | oh about display name, if i see an other resident with Eddi Decosta, i have the right to resolve it in my discrestion? lol |
[11:48] | Enkidu Linden: | haha like violently?? |
[11:49] | Eddi Decosta: | Enki, yeah lol |
[11:49] | Eddi Decosta: | :p |
[11:49] | Eddi Decosta: | like with sarcasme ;p |
[11:49] | Enkidu Linden: | i think support will be/is prepared to deal with abuse reports involving display names |
[11:50] | Enkidu Linden: | the display names team put a huge amount of time into thinking of all the ways people might be naughty with it |
[11:50] | Eddi Decosta: | i hope so , cause i dont want to be banned of agni for nothing cause an other griefers with my name in display :p |
[11:50] | Youri Ashton: | oh nice, the griefer using almost the same name as me is removed from search :p |
[11:50] | Youri Ashton: | its about time :p |
[11:50] | Savino Dagostino: | enkidu, do you workwith the in-world transactions (financial) on the SL website? |
[11:50] | Eddi Decosta: | Youri go out of my head lol ;p |
[11:50] | Enkidu Linden: | i have in the past, savino |
[11:50] | Youri Ashton: | lol eddi |
[11:51] | Enkidu Linden: | transaction history & download |
[11:51] | Savino Dagostino: | Any plans to make it easier to programmatically download transactions? |
[11:51] | Youri Ashton: | transaction history needs to be changed as i said |
[11:51] | Youri Ashton: | its pretty good loading time, no problem there |
[11:51] | Enkidu Linden: | we did quite a few things to make it easier |
[11:51] | Youri Ashton: | but the problem is more in not being able to see more then a few days back |
[11:52] | Enkidu Linden: | but it's still not a formal API |
[11:52] | Youri Ashton: | i like to see my entire SL life so to say |
[11:52] | Enkidu Linden: | i would love to see it become a true restful web service |
[11:52] | Youri Ashton: | its a way to keep idiots away as well |
[11:52] | Savino DagostinoSavino | Dagostino nods Would be nice to have a good, simple SOA layer sitting on top of it. |
[11:52] | Enkidu Linden: | youri, if you mean transaction history, it should be able to go back 30 days |
[11:52] | Youri Ashton: | there are scams occasionally abusing the current state |
[11:52] | Savino Dagostino: | Ditto, Enkidu. |
[11:53] | Youri Ashton: | it refuses for all my avi's enk |
[11:53] | Youri Ashton: | needs to be very easy to use, not hidden :p |
[11:53] | Savino Dagostino: | I developed a sales/commission system for a business in SL, and getting the transactions consistenly, if challenging. |
[11:53] | Savino Dagostino: | is* |
[11:53] | Enkidu Linden: | i bet.. |
[11:54] | Youri Ashton: | hmm... just tried a login on the website |
[11:54] | Savino Dagostino: | Is there a LL website/blog that goes into detail how best to use the exisitng technilogy to get the transaction. |
[11:54] | Youri Ashton: | was pretty slow |
[11:54] | Enkidu Linden: | youri: confirm for me you mean this page? https://secure-web44.secondlife.com/my/account/transactions.php?lang=en-US |
[11:54] | Youri Ashton: | loggin in should not take more then 2-3 seconds |
[11:55] | Youri Ashton: | new page for me o_0 |
[11:55] | Enkidu Linden: | if you ask me, logging in shound't take more than a few hundred milliseconds |
[11:55] | Youri Ashton: | never seen this page before for some reason |
[11:55] | Enkidu Linden: | does that page have what you want? |
[11:55] | Enkidu Linden: | savino: Which blogged about it about a year ago |
[11:55] | Youri Ashton: | true, but i was adding in the actual things it should be loading as well. 3 seconds max. it took me 10 |
[11:56] | Enkidu Linden: | but i can give you a few tips |
[11:56] | Savino Dagostino: | Any help would be appreciated. |
[11:56] | Youri Ashton: | yes enk, something like the page you just gave |
[11:56] | Enkidu Linden: | ok cool |
[11:56] | Youri Ashton: | but then for all times |
[11:56] | Enkidu Linden: | well |
[11:56] | Youri Ashton: | not just a few months |
[11:57] | Enkidu Linden: | the download URL and the page view URL both take the same set of parameters |
[11:57] | Youri Ashton: | for shop owners it can be vital to use |
[11:57] | Youri Ashton: | proof that they did pay their employees for example or their land |
[11:57] | Enkidu Linden: | also, it's not obvious, but the date parameters can include a time component |
[11:57] | Enkidu Linden: | so like |
[11:57] | Enkidu Linden: | https://secure-web44.secondlife.com/my/account/transactions.php?date_start=2010-09-16&date_end=2010-09-16&include_zero=yes 〈=en&submit=View++(up+to+500) |
[11:58] | Youri Ashton: | or for simple strange things going on, loosing money without knowing why.... |
[11:58] | Enkidu Linden: | has date_start=2010-09-16 |
[11:58] | Savino Dagostino: | Date ranges are good. How far back can they go? |
[11:58] | Enkidu Linden: | but you could do date_start=2010-09-16%2010:00:03 |
[11:58] | Youri Ashton: | goes back to 17 august 2010 for me |
[11:58] | Enkidu Linden: | should go back a month |
[11:58] | Youri Ashton: | my avi was created at start januari 2007 |
[11:59] | Enkidu Linden: | we can't store it for all time, unfortunately. it's too much data |
[11:59] | Enkidu Linden: | but i would like to see it go back 2 months |
[11:59] | Youri Ashton: | thats the problem enk, i like to have the option to see what was going on and when |
[11:59] | Savino Dagostino: | If I provide a date that is farther back than that, does it default to the oldest it has, or throw an exception? |
[11:59] | Enkidu Linden: | the other advice i'd give is to use the xml format for downloads, not excel |
[12:00] | Eddi Decosta: | Enki, about the new market place, do you think the inventory of that system could be linked iwht a special tabs in the viewer?? |
[12:00] | Enkidu Linden: | hmm.. not sure i remember. try it! |
[12:00] | Savino Dagostino: | Is using XML faster than excel? |
[12:00] | Enkidu Linden: | well, not so much faster as better |
[12:01] | Enkidu Linden: | XLS is a horrible transport format |
[12:01] | Savino DagostinoSavino | Dagostino chuckles Oh, I will....just tryihg to avoid too much trial and error programming. |
[12:01] | Youri Ashton: | the website used xml based pages (downloadables) but for some reason LL stopped using them |
[12:01] | Enkidu Linden: | plus excel reads xml anyway |
[12:01] | Youri Ashton: | xstreet used xml as well |
[12:01] | Eddi Decosta: | notepadd++ its better way to work in xml ㋡ |
[12:01] | Youri Ashton: | also gone |
[12:01] | Eddi Decosta: | or read the xml ㋡ |
[12:01] | Savino DagostinoSavino | Dagostino nods It does, but my process processes it natively, without a need for Excel. |
[12:01] | Enkidu Linden: | XML also has a 65k rows limit per sheet |
[12:01] | Enkidu Linden: | oops! |
[12:01] | Enkidu Linden: | XLS i mean |
[12:01] | Enkidu Linden: | XML has no limit |
[12:02] | Youri Ashton: | lol |
[12:02] | Eddi Decosta: | Enki, loll sorry :p |
[12:02] | Enkidu Linden: | or rather, we impose a limit on it that is absurd, like 2 million rows or something |
[12:02] | Savino Dagostino: | Hmmm, 65K of sales, over a 30 day...I wish we had that problem! |
[12:02] | Youri Ashton: | could make it create a new file and add the suffix (2) for example |
[12:03] | Youri Ashton: | oh nice! Yoz is on and having his OH now :) |
[12:03] | Enkidu Linden: | so if you want to do it programmatically, you should download xml periodically, depending on how much business you do |
[12:03] | Enkidu Linden: | you should request an overlapping time range with what you already have a weed out duplicates |
[12:03] | Savino Dagostino: | Enkidu, I'm a data warehousing consultant in RL...bring me onboard and we'll fix that 30 day window of data issue,,,, <chuckles> |
[12:04] | Youri Ashton: | thats the point enk, it should be ready for download on choice, currently its very hard to get that |
[12:04] | Enkidu Linden: | very cool! |
[12:04] | Youri Ashton: | anyways, thanks for your OH again enk! |
[12:04] | Youri Ashton: | was fun as usuall! |
[12:04] | Enkidu Linden: | well, it's annoying to get it because you have to deal with logging in |
[12:04] | Enkidu Linden: | yes, thanks for coming! |
[12:04] | Youri Ashton: | :) |
[12:04] | Enkidu Linden: | glad your computer showed up |
[12:04] | Eddi Decosta: | thanks to you Enki ㋡ |
[12:04] | Youri Ashton: | asked for forceport |
[12:05] | Savino Dagostino: | Does the blog deal with loggin in/authenticating programmitcally? |
[12:05] | Eddi Decosta: | nice too meet you all the time :0 |
[12:05] | Eddi Decosta: | ㋡ |
[12:05] | Enkidu Linden: | i think the blog also uses openid |
[12:05] | Loane Rhosar: | thanks... |
[12:05] | Savino DagostinoSavino | Dagostino nods Cool. |
[12:05] | Savino Dagostino: | Enkidu, thanks much for your info! |
[12:05] | Enkidu Linden: | afaik there's no authentication services per se |
[12:06] | Enkidu Linden: | but you can probably simulate it with curl or something pretty easily |
[12:06] | Savino Dagostino: | Passing open login info is always an issue for me |
[12:06] | Savino DagostinoSavino | Dagostino nods I currently use curl... |
[12:06] | Enkidu Linden: | oh cool |
[12:06] | Enkidu Linden: | in that case |
[12:06] | Enkidu Linden: | i suggest using the options to read and write a cookie jar |
[12:07] | Enkidu Linden: | also, i think you want to POST the auth details to openid |
[12:07] | Enkidu Linden: | use the -L param |
[12:07] | Enkidu Linden: | you should end up somewhere after that |
[12:07] | Savino Dagostino: | What does the cookie jar do to help the process? |
[12:08] | Savino Dagostino: | Hopefully, not end up on Blue Mars... <chuckles> |
[12:08] | Enkidu Linden: | your session tokens will be in there when it's all done |
[12:08] | Savino Dagostino: | Nice. I like that. |
[12:08] | Enkidu Linden: | so you'll want to use the same cookiejar file when you make another curl to download |
[12:09] | Savino Dagostino: | How long are the sessions tokens good for, before they expire? |
[12:09] | Enkidu Linden: | i am not sure |
[12:09] | Enkidu Linden: | but! |
[12:09] | Enkidu Linden: | the cookiejar will show the expiry time |
[12:10] | Enkidu Linden: | it's just text in there so you can cat it or vim it or whatever |
[12:10] | Savino Dagostino: | Sweet. That way I dont have to worry about catching a thrown exception around an expired token |
[12:10] | Enkidu Linden: | probably not |
[12:11] | Enkidu Linden: | good luck! |
[12:11] | Enkidu Linden: | i'm going to get lunch |
[12:11] | Enkidu Linden: | feel free to drop by next week if you have problems setting that up |
[12:11] | Savino Dagostino: | Thanks, again, enkidu. Enjoy lunch! |
[12:11] | Savino Dagostino: | WIll do. I just found out about your office hours a few hours ago. |
