pcarduneah, i'm back00:09
pcarduneblasted wireless00:09
pcardunegpaci: I wanted to prove that the space of all julia sets are continuous... but I haven't gotten into topology quite yet00:10
gpacipcardune: And I kind of hope I'm *never* that into topology....00:11
pcarduneyeah... no kidding00:11
gpaciDo they still start with topology in introductory courses to real analysis?00:13
gpaciOpen sets, closed sets, that kind of thing?00:13
pcardunei'm going to find out... i'm doing real analysis next semester00:13
gpaciHave you done complex analysis already?00:14
pcardunenope00:15
gpaciThe only thing I know about it is that *everything* has roots.00:15
pcardunei just got done with "intro to higher math" which is just a proof class with topics in number and set theory00:16
gpaciI never did a whole real analysis class; they just seemed to think it was important00:16
pcarduneand an independent study in fractal stuff00:16
gpacito cover the basics at the beginning of multivariable calculus.00:16
gpaci(They = the Princeton math department.)00:16
pcarduneit is required for math majors here... either real or abstract algebra00:16
pcarduneI thought you went to cornell00:17
gpaciI did.  This was before that.00:17
gpaciI used to be a genius, you know.00:18

gpacirun out of courses in the subject.00:19
pcarduneoooh00:19
gpaciMy high school went through Linear Algebra, but a couple of us wanted00:19
gpacito go further.00:19
pcardunewow... nice high school00:19
gpaciMaybe.  I attended with the Menendez brothers.00:19
pcardunethe who?00:19

pcardunegpaci: didn't john glen go to yorktown or something like that?00:25

jintyignas: could you try installing the python-tz package from the schooltool archive and see if that solves your issue?11:45
ignasthe line i should put in my apt sources?11:46
jintyhere's the deb http://ftp.schooltool.org/schooltool/archives/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-all/python/python-tz_2007d-1_all.deb11:47

jintyignas: now I am16:04
ignasjinty: i was going to ask you to test for a firefox bug16:04
ignasbut now I got it more or less reproduced16:04
ignasouch it was painful ;)16:05
ignasi had a GET form with a lot of fields with long names16:05
ignasand firefox does not cope with long urls properly16:06
* jinty thinks firefox is very painful on os x16:06
jintygenerally16:06
jintyand this little colored spinning ball that once was cute is now just very irritating16:06
