Hide Idle (>14 d.) Chans

cgra: i sense a risk my current tkinter gui may end up rewritten if wanted a log search that would ~instantly filter text as search terms are typed. and probably other roadblocks waiting to surface, given my lack of deeper tcl/tk understanding. awt you (or anyone else) want a patch for it regardless? may serve as a general py gu
cgra: i fiddling item nevertheless. oh, and what if there were no clean upgrade path to it, from irc-blatta, other than starting over? this may or may not be the case...
awt[cgra]: cgra: I would definately be interested in seeing a general py gui fiddling item.
cgra: re log search in general, i suppose somebody could, if wanted to, retro-'hearsay' old irc logs into pest history. and make possible netchain-links all the way back to 'day 0'.
asciilifeform: cgra: asciilifeform thought about this, but imho promises to be gnarly (there's >1 historic irc chans, many of which ran concurrently)
asciilifeform: and would be odd to have modern-day netchain replies to ancient msgs displayed next to the latter
cgra: asciilifeform: looking specifically at pest_0xfa_pre_draft.pdf, maybe want to specify handles case-insensitive?
asciilifeform: cgra: notbad idea imho
asciilifeform: (atm and in prev. specs they were case-sensitive)
asciilifeform: cgra: tricky in details tho.
asciilifeform: ( and brings up the q -- why display e.g. hypothetical 'Cgra' as hearsay of 'cgra' when the 2 readily distinguishable if both are present on net ? )
asciilifeform: seems as if it ~subtracts~ useful info re authenticity, rather than adds any
asciilifeform: a faux 'cgra' with handle 'Cgra' helpfully supplies 'confession' re his bogosity
cgra: right
asciilifeform: ( asciilifeform's original 'ascii-only' rule re handles was so that they are guaranteed to be visually distinguishable. )
asciilifeform: would seem that case-insensitive treatment of handles would win 0
cgra: yeah seems so. if someone sets his handle to 'Cgra' knowing 'cgra' already exists, he's a dick. but if his handle was set independently, and nets were later joined, they even aren't now 'two bobs' in the worst possible sense, either
asciilifeform ftr is experimenting with gui display which makes 'forks' visually apparent w/out any special programmatic handling on protocol end
asciilifeform: ... is the reason wai left'em out of the draft spec
cgra: asciilifeform: plz shoot screens whenever have possibly interesting samples
asciilifeform: cgra: defo will post once it loox the least bit interesting
