Fixing mIRC's broken ping implementation

https://github.com/tannn/TriviaTime/pull/147 Apparently mIRC doesn’t respond to ping messages over a certain length. This is the first part of the problem. According to http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/rfc/ctcpspec.html

The querying client can then subtract the recieved timestamp from the current time to obtain the delay between clients over the IRC network.

The client sending the ping will do Current Time - Timestamp that it sent out (which is echoed by the target of the ping) , so it can send the ping payload in any format it finds convenient. All we have to do is:

The replying client sends back an identical message inside a notice: 01PING timestamp01

So add this to the top of your Remote script….

1
ctcp 1:ping:/raw NOTICE $nick : $+ $chr(1) $+ $1- $+ $chr(1)

Perfect. A better ping script that will display ping replies in miliseconds: http://www.mircscripts.org/showdoc.php?type=code&id=1102

Weechat Snippet

/set buffers.look.indenting on /set irc.look.server_buffer independent …then for each buffer, switch to it and: /buffer move 1 …where 1 is the position you want to move the buffer (or you can do this w/ mouse if you have that setup) Once buffers are where you want them: /layout save

Apache does support name-based vhosts over SSL.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ssl/ssl_faq.html#vhosts

Name-Based Virtual Hosting is a very popular method of identifying different virtual hosts. It allows you to use the same IP address and the same port number for many different sites. When people move on to SSL, it seems natural to assume that the same method can be used to have lots of different SSL virtual hosts on the same server. It is possible, but only if using a 2.2.12 or later web server, built with 0.9.8j or later OpenSSL. This is because it requires a feature that only the most recent revisions of the SSL specification added, called Server Name Indication (SNI).

This must hold great potential and I'm amazed because it looks amazing

The Problem: Computer Architecture is increasingly incremental, and boring. Many papers study a tiny feature, and report 5% improvements. Simulation is too slow to allow full-system experiments running real software. Researchers can no longer build real chips to test new ideas – it’s too expensive. Our Goal: Change this.
