Surely IRC logs are not more important than that. [08:16] Techrights-sec the gemini page seems to havce updated ok [08:16] Techrights-sec though the 'latest articles' part only does the last calendar days, [08:16] Techrights-sec perhaps that needsto get re-written to actually include the latest [08:16] Techrights-sec it likely means replacing the shell script with perl though [08:16] Techrights-sec the current shell script is simple: check the date and get [08:16] Techrights-sec the gemini pages for today and yesterday, if there are any [08:16] Techrights-sec a replacement script would need to search and then report [08:16] Techrights-sec the most recent two days of those actually available [08:19] Techrights-sec I think the articles would be best at the top. I'll adjust the script. [08:19] schestowitz__ thanks! [08:20] Techrights-sec Also the script generates a placeholder for March though there have not yet [08:20] Techrights-sec been any gemini articles -- yet [08:20] Techrights-sec no problem [08:20] schestowitz__ Yes, I noticed that and was about to bring it up [08:25] Techrights-sec the way it is built there are a lot of race conditions at the new month, [08:25] Techrights-sec especially the new year [08:25] schestowitz__ our 3 or 4 file toolset for logging seems to be coping OK with new days and even months. I've checked. [08:26] schestowitz__ even leap years [08:33] *rianne__ has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) [08:33] *liberty_box has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds) [08:34] *rianne__ (~rianne@host81-154-169-167.range81-154.btcentralplus.com) has joined #boycottnovell [08:36] *liberty_box (~liberty@host81-154-169-167.range81-154.btcentralplus.com) has joined #boycottnovell ● Mar 01 [09:12] Techrights-sec yes, but now that there is a way to access the db directly, [09:12] Techrights-sec there may be a more efficient way. I'll plan a bit and see if I can [09:12] Techrights-sec think of a better way than just growing things out organically [09:12] Techrights-sec we'll have to re-check the bulletins in gemini tomorrow [09:12] Techrights-sec as for leap years, the date utility and the relevant perl modules have that [09:13] Techrights-sec covered [09:32] *rianne__ has quit (Remote host closed the connection) [09:32] *rianne__ (~rianne@host81-154-169-167.range81-154.btcentralplus.com) has joined #boycottnovell ● Mar 01 [10:57] Techrights-sec doing some tidying, I notice that there is an external image in the most [10:57] Techrights-sec recent reprint from Daniel Pocock.

[12:07] Techrights-sec As for the images, that would be be a good thing if the extra step were taken to [12:07] Techrights-sec get permission to have them locally. Hotlinking is very problematic.

It's well-established that the patent can be its own dictionary, so if the second patent provided a more limited definition of 'incorporating' then it seems fair to construe 'incorporating' in line with the patent's definition and to assume that the patentee meant to use this definition [17:18] schestowitz__ when using the term. If they didn't want to be limited to their own definition of 'incorporating' then they could/should have used a different term in the claims. [17:18] schestowitz__ To go back to Actavis, presumably if the description had explicitly said "The term 'sodium' should be understood to mean 'sodium'" then the decision could have gone the other way. Of course, this would have been a strange definition to include at the time, but only because no one prior to Actavis would have thought that sodium might ever be construed to cover potassium. [17:18] schestowitz__ " [17:37] schestowitz__ Regarding the aforementioned issue with bulletins, the fix was simple and I've tested it. Turned out it was prepending the menu for irc instead of bulletin template. Should we at some point let people download 'catalogues' of months or years? Gemini is no good for big files... ● Mar 01 [19:57] Techrights-sec ok, I've updated Git with the changes to gemini-bulletin-irc-update.sh [19:57] Techrights-sec Yeah, the big files should be in IPFS and HTTP(S) only. [19:57] Techrights-sec Perhap just an external link will do. [19:58] schestowitz__ the video files we have are not just large but very large. Maybe at some point we can integrate ipfs and gemini with existing bridging software (sourcehut).
