wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-access-control seems to be the obvious choice, but perhaps im overlooking something better?

userabuser

current_user_can function

lkraav

well that would imply some template logic

wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-access-control seems doable too, im all for lightweight. ill take a look at those to start.

userabuser

lightweight for me is the opposite of that.

lkraav

well yeah but i have to account for dumbusers and how much work it will be to maintain any scope expansions

generic plugin might be the least amt of work in the mid-long run

@All I read that documents written in Unicode text editors have problems in ASCII text editors and "vice-versa". True?

toscho

Aahan Krish

Okay great, then I am going with Unicode.

@toscho By the way what mode do you use?

toscho

mode?

Aahan Krish

@toscho sorry, text encodingg - ANSI or UTF-8 or UTF-8 with BOM

toscho

UTF-8 without BOM

Finally back on Windows 7!

lkraav

funeral music

Aahan Krish

@lkraav Ah?

Jared

Haha

Unfortunately I am on Windows too. I had been using Fedora for the past couple months but I needed Photoshop.

Aahan Krish

@Jared I've been using Ubuntu, but my Internet connection is too slow on it -- weird, but that's how it is.

I would love to go back, but can't. :(

Jared

Yeah Ubuntu seems to have gone downhill recently

When I used it, I had horrible USB transfer speed

Aahan Krish

20:35

Oh... looks like Ubuntu has a problem in store for everyone ;)

lkraav

yeah it seems photoshop is the last remaining magnet

otherwise majority of windows users would switch to lunix

Aahan Krish

@lkraav rarst and toscho would disagree I think :D

lkraav

that's allright, i'm a lover not a fighter

and since i hire graphic designers, i can love my gentoo endlessly

Aahan Krish

haha! As for me, every Linux distro I've tried (Mint, Fedora, Ubuntu, Kubuntu) had some issues... pretty serious ones

Jared

I never had issues with Fedora, except when I used it on a cloud server. CentOS was always great too.

Aahan Krish

20:38

Probably because my PC is a tad-bit old

@Jared CentOS would be too outdated for a PC, no?

Jared

Not sure I just used CentOS 6.2 on a cloud server for a while because Fedora was acting up

Aahan Krish

of course, CentOS is great for a server. But on a PC we want the latest and the greatest!

Jared

True, Fedora 17 was released recently

Aahan Krish

tried it too... :( Ubuntu's installation process is soo simple that you'll start to feel all others aren't so obvious

anyway, that was KDE... gotta try Gnome sometime

lkraav

i found peace ever since discovering awesome the window manager

but i have to admit, getting the hardware compatibility figured out was a tough one

rule of thumb: stay away from broadcom like the plague

Aahan Krish

20:48

lol

lkraav

since you can also get some style now with samsung series 9 and hp folio 13 style stuff operating pretty much flawlessly with fresh kernels... i say be the guiding light

so, now i just need wordpress and gravity forms done in python

php - the last obstacle between me and dalai lama style divine happyness type shiznit

Aahan Krish

Aha! Windows box is all setup... gotta hit the sack now

Rarst

@lkraav BS

if such gems as ME and Vista hadn't made majority switch anywhere - nothing will :)

two simple truths about Linux - it doesn't have benefits of majority desktop OS because windows is IT and it's corporation-driven for server use with desktop use being byproduct

Judging by the tumult out on the streets Germany has won the UEFA cup already.

What do these people do next week when we win against Italy?

userabuser

@toscho That will not happen.

toscho

why? do you think Italy will not win against England?

userabuser

ha!
