[gaim-migrate @ 15145] SF Patch #1389870 from Bleeter, building on work in SF Patch #1114194 from Alex Badea "Following on from #1114194, where I thought that sending audibles is a little twitty because we can't see what's going on, I also noted that it would be nice if we could display the URL wheree the audible swf file lived. The example URL provided only supported US locales, which also needed addressing. I've tested this patch with the Taiwain audible, named within the patch, by confirming that the URL pattern match actually works. Whether it actually works when sent from a Taiwanese YIM native client, I have no idea. It looks like it should. Just to re-iterate: This patch displays the the received audible's URL and text only, not the audible swf file itself, nor does it send anything." committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>

鐃緒申The Penguin

鐃緒申
+
鐃緒申Once upon a term'nal dreary, while I hack'ed, weak and weary,
+
鐃緒申Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten code--
+
鐃緒申While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a beeping,
+
鐃緒申As of some one gently feeping, feeping using damn talk mode.
+
鐃緒申"'Tis some hacker," I muttered, "beeping using damn talk mode--
+
鐃緒申                          Only this. I hate talk mode."
+
鐃緒申
+
鐃緒申Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak semester,
+
鐃緒申And college life wrought its terror as the school year became a bore.
+
鐃緒申Eagerly I wished for privledges;--higher access I sought to borrow
+
鐃緒申For my term'nal, unceasing sorrow--sorrow for a file called core--
+
鐃緒申For the rare and radiant files of .c  the coders call the core--
+
鐃緒申                           Access Denied.  Chown me more.
+
鐃緒申
+
鐃緒申"Open Source," did all mutter, when, with very little flirt and flutter,
+
鐃緒申In there stepped a stately Penguin of the saintly days of yore.
+
鐃緒申Quite a bit obese was he; having eaten lots of fish had he,
+
鐃緒申But, by deign of Finnish programmer, he sat in the middle of my floor--
+
鐃緒申Looking upon my dusty term'nal in the middle of my floor--
+
鐃緒申                           Came, and sat, and nothing more.
+
鐃緒申
+
鐃緒申Then the tubby bird beguiling my sad code into shining,
+
鐃緒申By the free and open decorum of the message that it bore,
+
鐃緒申"Though thy term'nal be dusty and slow," he said, "Linux be not craven!"
+
鐃緒申And thus I installed a new OS far from the proprietary shore--
+
鐃緒申The kernel code open but documentation lacking on this shore.
+
鐃緒申                           Quoth the Penguin, "pipe grep more!"
+
鐃緒申
+
鐃緒申Much I marvelled this rotund fowl to hear discourse so plainly,
+
鐃緒申Though its answer little meaning--little relevancy bore;
+
鐃緒申For we cannot help believing that no living human being
+
鐃緒申Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird in the middle of his floor--
+
鐃緒申Bird or beast sitting in the middle of his cluttered floor,
+
鐃緒申                           With such instructions as "pipe grep more."
+
鐃緒申
+
鐃緒申But the Penguin, sitting lonely in that cluttered floor, spoke only
+
鐃緒申Those words, as if its soul in that instruction he did outpour.
+
鐃緒申Nothing more did he need utter; understood did I among that clutter--
+
鐃緒申Understood his command as I could scarcely do a few moments before--
+
鐃緒申I typed as furious as was willed me, understanding just a minute before.
+
鐃緒申                           Again the bird said "pipe grep more!"
+
鐃緒申
+
鐃緒申"Amazing!" said I, "Penguin we will conquor the world if you will!
+
鐃緒申By the Network that interconnects us--by that Finn we both adore--
+
鐃緒申We'll take this very world by storm!" For now grasped I what he'd meant,
+
鐃緒申The thing I do while searching /usr/doc/* for that wond'rous lore--
+
鐃緒申Those compendiums of plaintext documentation and descriptive lore.
+
鐃緒申                           Quoth the Penguin, "pipe grep more!"
+
鐃緒申
+
鐃緒申And the Penguin, never waddling, still is sitting, still is sitting
+
鐃緒申In the middle of my room and still very cluttered floor;
+
鐃緒申And his eyes have all the seeming of the free beer I am drinking
+
鐃緒申And the term'nal-light o'er him glowing throws his shadows on the floor;
+
鐃緒申And this OS from out the shadows that is pow'ring my term'nal on the floor
+
鐃緒申                            Shall be dominating--"Pipe grep more!"
+
