[11:55:44 EDT(-0400)] <pberry> great, now I'm scaring Eric off
[11:55:55 EDT(-0400)] <pberry> he must have known I was going to ask him a question...

[14:32:08 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> anyone want to take bets on how long merging the working-maven2 branch back to trunk?
[14:32:19 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I'm guessing it will be a 75 minute commit

[14:36:13 EDT(-0400)] <pberry> hrm
[14:36:25 EDT(-0400)] <pberry> so, browser mapping is "interesting"
[14:36:59 EDT(-0400)] <pberry> I was having trouble with Opera 9
[14:37:06 EDT(-0400)] <pberry> but now it seems to be fine...
[16:36:26 EDT(-0400)] * Topic is 'maven on the trunk!' set by EricDalquist on 2007-09-24 16:36:26 EDT(-0400)
[17:00:12 EDT(-0400)] * pberry grumbles about browser user agent matching
[17:00:19 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist>
[17:02:03 EDT(-0400)] <pberry> sometimes I'm really scared to delve into parts of uPortal
[17:02:27 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I know the feeling
[17:02:43 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> the good thing is the number of those parts is steadily decreasing
[17:02:43 EDT(-0400)] <pberry> this just has to be one of those things that was started with the best of intentions...
[17:03:03 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> bad build.xml is now gone from the trunk and we're in happy maven land
[17:03:12 EDT(-0400)] <pberry> but I just don't know if they really fit reality anymore
[17:03:37 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> the concept of different layouts for different devices is likely still good
[17:03:46 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> the implementation though likely needs some revisiting
[17:04:37 EDT(-0400)] <pberry> yeah, and in the past it was hard to do that with CSS
[17:04:50 EDT(-0400)] <pberry> but that's becoming more and more the way to do it
[17:05:03 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yup
[17:05:28 EDT(-0400)] <pberry> it's not like we want to take the flexible xml transformations away...
[17:05:57 EDT(-0400)] <pberry> People would always look at me funny when I would describe uPortal as a "giant XML transformation engine"

[18:04:54 EDT(-0400)] <pberry> oh come on....ELinks changes the UA string based on your terminal size...
