Unfortunately I need the transcripts that are already in there . Actually what I need is just the conversation info ( email, referrer and page ) for each of those past transcripts.
A zip archive to download all at once would be best :)

It would be good if there would be a way to add some information to the initial info that is sent to the operator when a visitor starts chatting.
The use case for this: I want to give the operator an easy way ( a link ) to add the visitor to a CRM.
I can update the status and put the link there but the info in the status is not easily clickable in all IM clients.

What is the point you are trying to make here? Are you trying to say those that profit are actually not profiting from wordpress but from their knowledge of php,css and html? I think their are profiting from both.

If you develop new cms code either by modifying core wordpress or by writing plugins or themes for wordpress you are writing or modifying php,css,html code.
We're not talking here about all PHP developers. We're talking only about those that make a profit by working on wordpress.

And also when I think about all the people that make a profit because of wordpress I also think about all the bloggers and businesses that use it to make money. Why should we exclude them when they are making money basically in the same way that Matt's company does?

Re: Podcast: The GPL is Marxist

PatchLog — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 13:33:19 -0000

So you're using wordpress and making money partly because of it and you say only Matt profits from it?
I'm sure that the amount of profit that the entire wordpress user base makes because of wordpress is a lot higher then what Matt makes. And I'm not talking just about users but also developers that make plugins and themes released under GPL or the ones providing development or consulting services for wordpress.
How would any of this work without the ability to trade code. Show me one proprietary platform that allowed so many people to start a business or start making money with so little initial investment. And this is not just about wordpress, the same goes for most of the open source projects out there that are using the GPL license. ( BTW almost 50% of all open source projects use the GPL, there must be a good reason for that :) don't you think ? )

So first you tell me that only your interpretation counts , then you tell me you agree that what the licence says it's law. So if the developer says they give you the software under the terms of the GPL license and you agree the license is law all that's left is for you to take the GPL licence as you wish. You could say the GPL license gives you the right to break into someone's house and no one could prove you wrong until a judge decides that. Sure it matters what others say but all of the developers that release their software under the GPL license believe that this license gives them the right to have a say in the way the software and derivate work is distributed. If they would not believe that they would not commit years of work so you could use and make money off their software.

Please point us all to the landmark cases where GPL lost.

This post was not even about whether Thesis is bound by GPL or not. The post was about GPL being marxist and my comment was trying to show you why it's the opposite.

When you're releasing derivative work as GPL you're not releasing your work for free you're actually paying ( in code ) for the original software that you got in the first place without paying anything. Take this as a loan. The bank gives you the money and you give it nothing in return at that time but you are bound by a contract to give them the money back in the future. Isn't that capitalism 101 ? :)

Re: Podcast: The GPL is Marxist

PatchLog — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 07:20:08 -0000

No one forced you to use Wordpress. Those that built it put it out there with conditions. Those conditions are that whatever derivative work you build and redistribute must be released under the same Licence. The text of that licence also says that if you don't want to respect those conditions you are free to NOT use it. So you see they didn't give you the software and said do whatever you want with it. They said here it is , but there are some conditions. Those conditions are just like asking you to pay for it. It's an exchange , just not a financial exchange.

I don't think the world should only exist where people give everything away. I think exactly the opposite that's why I think GPL software is not just software you give away. It's software with a value and those building it expect something in return just like those that ask for money.

How me and you interpret the GPL doesn't really matter here. What matters is how the authors of the software you are using interpret it. Maybe they did a poor job explaining how they interpret it but You are clearly understanding what they think about it. Not respecting their beliefs is just like refusing to pay for proprietary software.

I'm not an expert in political philosophies but to me it seems like building something and giving it away for free without having any conditions on that code is more marxist then building something and giving it away with some conditions ( GPL ) that could bring you some profit.

What all you "capitalists" are saying is that people should just build stuff for you for free, stuff that you should be free not only to use but also to modify (or not) and sell without any conditions. How is that capitalist?

Isn't capitalism supposed to be like this: I build stuff and if you want it you pay for it? The GPL way of paying is : you give back code.

The GPL is just common sense: I give something of value to you and you give something of value back to me. What's wrong about that?

Re: CashBase – aplicație de finanțe personale pentru oamenii care urăsc aplicațiile de finanțe personale

Ideea este ca cei mai multi utilizatori nu vor vrea sa-si instaleze aplicatia ( complicatii, costuri de hosting, etc ) deci vor plati la serviciul tau. Cei putini care vor vrea sa-si instaleze la ei oricum nu vor plati la tine. Daca totusi le oferi posibilitatea sa foloseasca platforma poti inca sa vinzi aplicatia de mobil, poti chiar sa vinzi extensii. Nu mai vorbesc de comunitatea ce se poate forma in jurul platformei care poate ajuta atat la promovarea ei cat si la inbunatatirea ei.
Modelul asta se practica cu success, vezi SugarCRM

#1 poate fi facut si fara a sacrifica experienta: trimiti mesaj de confirmare dar nu conditionezi accesul la cont. Deci user-ul intra in cont imediat dupa sign-up, primeste un mail si in cont daca nu a confirmat , ii mai amintesti din cand in cand cu cate un "banner" sa-si confirme adresa de mail. Astfel el nu confirma "ca vrea cont" ci confirma ca adresa e a lui si/sau ca e valida.
Nu sunt fan-ul Facebook connect, si alte servicii pentru autentificare, nu-mi place sa depind de o companie pentru asa ceva. Email-ul e universal si distribuit.

ok, I see you have a real problem now.
my guess is this is either a temporary problem and it will be fixed once they manage to upgrade their system to scale better
or it's the first step to paid API access

Re: Private: Twitter Apps Can Only Grow so Far

PatchLog — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 12:34:04 -0000

isn't this limit per account. And if it is then why not use your user's credentials to do the api requests.
If it's a per ip limit just get more ips, they are relatively cheap .
Of course this is a short term solution, they are probably going to charge for extra api requests.
But you should have seen this coming, it's impossible to handle any number of api requests from anyone. there's no such thing as scaling a system to infinite and for free too.

Re: XML Sitemaps for Pligg

PatchLog — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 16:07:12 -0000

Make sure mod_rewrite in .htacces or virtual hosts configuration works first. If you managed to have pligg friendly urls work then this should work too.
Look into the module's configuration it explains clearely what you have to put into .htaccess to have a nice looking sitemap.
The final sitemap is actually a sitemap index ( this is the one that ou'll be sending to the SEs ) and it should be http://www.gevaldigg.com/si...
Good luck.

Re: XML Sitemaps for Pligg

PatchLog — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 15:51:57 -0000

for this to work you need to have certain rewrite rules set up. The examples for apache are in the module configuration. My guess is you didn't set them or there's something wrong with the way you set them.
