The problem is that *I* have been dormant for the last year or so. Work has gotten so out of control that I don't have nearly the amount of time I used to for Citadel. :(

Gotcha IG.  Thank you for keeping the torch.  I understand your dilemma with life and passions, and hope things work out well.  I appreciate your work.

Yeah, well, Meph has really been pissing me off lately. I am taking it as a sign that God is about to provide some sort of really amazing blessing because the devil seems to be attacking me from every angle. I am completely exhausted and shaken and spent right now, but God is bigger.

Yeah, you keep telling yourself that. "It all happens for a reason!" "God doesn't give you anything you can't
handle."

yeah.

I'm not sure if its a change in the way folks are entering messages or if something is wrong on my end, but SSHed into Citadel I seem to have a lot of issues with words not wrapping. The line will break in the middle of the word and then there will be a CRLF about 1/3rd of the terminal over for no reason. Its almost as if Citadel doesn't know what size my terminal is.

Word wrapping has always been odd for me, I figured it was the way it is.

Weird inconsistency, and maybe it's a historical artifact. .E commands "enter" a new item: password, ASCII message, config, room, etc. EXCEPT for floors.
If you .EF, it expects you to input an existing floor that you would like to travel to. I can never remember the actual command to enter a new floor without digging into the docs.

yeah.

I haven't
had any problems with word wr
apping and Citadel. It has always worked pretty well, without any issues at all
for me.

Not only that, but it now has the ability to encrypt everything using ROT26 in real time.

True security experts recommend ROT104

So when is that latest text-client going to be available somewhere? The one that knows what https: and the Who list is and randomly
makes angry statements about Obama, Microsoft and facebook.

When you write it.  I took a peek at the code already (pre-split codebase).  Tag, you are it.

It was written, see this entry of October 4th.

So I've made a change to the client code. No telling how long it'll
take before that code falls into your eager hands, but it's checked
into the tree so you'll get it eventually. :)

It now starts with an array containing "http://" "https://" and
"ftp://" and runs through the message searching for each of those
prefixes.

Share And Enjoy.



I was wondering what "eventually" meant.

Agreed. And if you've got the hardware, ROT676 is enough to thwart even the NSA.

Subject: What kind of joke is this: save the text client?

[Reply] [ReplyQuoted] [Headers] [Print]

This message has to do with the ability to edit the posts.

Why do you need to "save" the text client?

I thought that the text client is merely the interface to the citserver in that it can execute any and all operations available to citadel server.

Am I missing something?

As far as I can see, that interface is the best way to interact with the server even from webcit, which has all sorts of issues.

It is like an API. It is either you call the kernel or internals directly from webcit for example, which is bizarre of an idea, or you call it via the interface, which, in this case, would be a "text client".

Here is the real problem we have:

We need to edit the posts. It is simply a must. On our system everything counts, down to the last dot and comma. Because what is posted is a result of a flood of information that comes from the sources "above", and I would prefer we don't get into this.

Which means that when information comes, you better "hold on to your seed" in order not to miss some of it. It is like a switch: "transmission started", and then "transmission ended". If you can not type fast enough, even if you are the fastest typist in the world, you will INEVITABLY miss some things.

As a result, there are many syntax errors in the text. Secondly, when you review the text to correct those errors, you may recover some of the information that was missed during the flood.

So, what we need is the ability to EDIT the posts.

It seems that from the webcit it is not possible to edit the posts.

In that case, the text client could theoretically be used if we can recover, for example, the entire room need be, in the SMTP/NNTP message format, then hand edit the messages, then repost them to the room overriding the original messages. But the time stamps can not change. That is the condition. Because the message sequencing is important in our case.

So... What do we do? Can it be done?

I was sent to this room as an insult it seems, like if you talk garbage like this, then you deserve to be sent to the room of "resurrecting the text client" where all the plague victims gather, only if that guy knew WHO is he sending and where. But that is "besides the point" I guess. Right?

So, the bottom line is: how do I edit the posts, "text client", heaven or hell?

[Reply] [ReplyQuoted] [Headers] [Print]

I'd like to subscribe to the mailing list for this room.

With all due respect to webcit part of it, the real problems we are having seem to be resolvable through text client, at least as it currently stands.

We need bulk operations in many cases.

Thanx in advance.
