04:41 <bobthecow> ddfreyne: i haven't installed fast-aleck in ages, and i just had to reformat my computer and start over... now it's eating things.

04:52 <bobthecow> it's mostly eating end tags of things, but sometimes lopping off a huge chunk of the end of a line or the contents of an element.

04:57 <bobthecow> it looks like i managed to get it sane again by copying the gem folder and fast-aleck dylib from my backup, but it would be cooler if i could build it fresh and have it work :)

08:18 <ddfreyne> bobthecow: Hmm… I never really finished fast-aleck :(

08:18 <ddfreyne> I ran into some issues that I couldn’t wrap my head around.

08:19 <ddfreyne> Also, I started to manually type proper characters anyway (“ ” — …) so the need for fast-aleck decreased for me

08:19 <ddfreyne> I’m not sure what I’ll be doing with it.

08:19 <ddfreyne> But in any case, i tshouldn't be eating end tags!

14:33 <bobthecow> i imagine it's due to unicode somehow… counting double width characters as single or something.

14:47 <tom[]> "reformat my computer and start over" old skool. like in windows 95 days

14:54 <bobthecow> pretty much.

14:54 <bobthecow> my hard drive was in a bad place.

14:55 <bobthecow> disk utility recommended i copy any files i could off of it before i lost them permanently :)

21:37 <ddfreyne> Two of my hard drives failed by ~1 week apart.
