it's a little confusing still, to me - it's not clear if by entering a blank form I clear all tags, or only my own
ruaok
"To clear your tags"
what would you suggest I do to make that more clear?
brianfreud
but I get it - and it looks, then, like there would be no way for me to remove "mipe" is it were something offensive, say, "memberofNAMBLA"
*s/is/if
ruaok
that's correct. :)
brianfreud
well, let's say I personally had tagged it "food" and "love". If I wanted to add a third tag, would I need to enter "food love great" in the blank to avoid clearing the old two tags when adding "great", or would I just have to enter "great" to add it?
or is it only a completely empty form that removes tags?
ruaok
doesn't the fact that your old tags get loaded give you enough of a clue?
gioele
(comma separated tags I hope)
brianfreud
ah, ok, I see what you mean
just kind of, for me, non-intuitive
ruaok
I can see that.
fortunately its a nice system once you clue in.
brianfreud
also, what is a "word characters"?
ruaok
getting people clued in right away will be the challenge.
alpha numberic.
-b
suggestion for a better word?
gioele
do you really have to say that?
brianfreud
"alpha numeric characters"?
gioele
just say any character except commas
or except commas, periods and...
FauxFaux
Letters and numbers.
ruaok
faux ftw!
gioele
"Letters, numbers and spaces" (I push for comma separated tags ;) )

ruaok
gioele: did you even read the link?
FauxFaux
Anyone who gets "word characters" has done /far/ too much perl. :p
brianfreud
only thing I don't like about "alpha numeric" is it implies that 青木麻由子 wouldn't be valid, and it is
LotR
FauxFaux: you can't do too much Perl
gioele
ruaok: yes, but often implementors slip on what the specs say ;)
brianfreud
I guess the question more is, what characters are *not* valid?
though artist mbids don't seem to actually be found...
ruaok
any sql experts in the house? i need some help on a left join.

IS NULL is not the same as = NULL
grr. I keep forgetting that.
brianfreud
hmmm, I'm not getting my own verification email :D
ruaok
select m.name, mp.name, mp.value from moderator as m left join moderator_preference as mp on m.id = mp.moderator where mp.name is null or (mp.name = 'tags_public' and mp.value = '1');
is what I wanted.
brianfreud: your email isn't setup either I see. :)
brianfreud
you mean apart from providing it during registration?
brianfreud wonders if he needs a mail daemon on this virtual server
FauxFaux
Nooo!
gioele
FauxFaux smelled an open relay?
ruaok was referring to the email server
brianfreud
umm, ok - what command starts that?
ruaok
apt-get install exim4
brianfreud hasn't felt this much a newbie in a while
but I've always had issues with that.
brianfreud
hmmm, "exim4 is already the latest version"
*s/newest/latest
ruaok
case in point. :0
brianfreud
lol, have to find it kind of funny that I can't verify myself to myself
ruaok
cd admin
./psql READWRITE
select id from moderator.
s/./l/g
;
feh.
update moderator set email='foo [at bar.com]', emailconfirmdate = now() where id = <id from listing>;
log out and back in.
\q
to get back to the shell
brianfreud
ok, did that, now it doesn't like my password
ruaok
redo the first select and double check your password
brianfreud
what command do I give psql to show all moderator info for moderator rowid = foo?
ruaok
select * from moderator where id = <rowid>;
xlotlu has quit
brianfreud
it just takes me back to a psql prompt when I try that

Muzzz
You need to put ; at the end
Otherwise it won't execute
brianfreud
oh, I see
that's why the email thing failed too
thanks

I may be drunk
But I can do stuff!

ruaok wundert sich obs eine modernere version gibt

I must be asleep... how can a program fail to compile *without* errors or warnings?
ruaok
dude, the guy who wrote that was drunk. (me)
brianfreud
hmm, ok, it won't let me log in via the web - I've even tried manually resetting the password in the terminal, and I can see that it is correctly updated in the terminal...
