May 21 02:33:36 <Turaiel>	I have to use If This, Then That to read the Facebook page, then it emails a special email address associated with the SMS conversation between me and the G+ page
May 21 02:33:51 <Turaiel>	So indirectly, Facebook updates G+ via SMS via email
May 21 02:34:02 <Turaiel>	And anything longer than 160 characters fails to send, so not everything mirrors
May 21 02:34:10 <NekoAmps>	Oh wow.
May 21 02:34:18 <Turaiel>	All because Google+'s page API is read-only
May 21 02:34:39 <Turaiel>	A lot of the dA posts don't get to G+ because the descriptions are too long
May 21 02:34:41 <K35|tab>	Seems to me that a python script could do it in a simpler fashion..
May 21 02:34:51 <Turaiel>	K35: meh.
May 21 02:34:58 <NekoAmps>	I know the new Google can be hard to externally manipulate, but gee. That's the only way you've gotten it to work?
May 21 02:35:04 <Turaiel>	It wouldn't simplify it at all
May 21 02:35:11 <Turaiel>	The only way to automatically post to G+ is via SMS
May 21 02:35:25 <Turaiel>	NekoAmps, that's the only POSSIBLE way to do it
May 21 02:35:39 <Turaiel>	Google's working on a writable page API
May 21 02:35:42 <K35|tab>	Thing is, you dont have a shell to run it in.. and that's a fail on google there..
May 21 02:35:46 <Turaiel>	hopefully by the end of the year we'll have something
May 21 02:35:59 <Turaiel>	K35: why don't I have a shell, pray tell?
May 21 02:37:18 <K35|tab>	Didn't you say a couple weeks back that you had no shell access to the TK webserver?
May 21 02:37:26 <Turaiel>	So?
May 21 02:37:50 <Turaiel>	I have access to plenty of other linux servers, and I even own a couple.
May 21 02:37:53 <Turaiel>	Don't make assumptions.
May 21 02:38:08 <NekoAmps>	If you play Mario Bros. it's easy to get a shell ^.^
May 21 02:38:24 <Lilly>	X3
May 21 02:38:55 *	Lilly sends Neko a Goomba
May 21 02:41:03 <K35|tab>	Well, there is that. But the point is this, without a shell to the TK webserver, the script is more like remoting into another machiene just to remote back into the one your'e on just to run one command.
May 21 02:41:43 <Turaiel>	K35: and what command might that be?
May 21 02:42:01 <K35|tab>	Sudo apt-get upgrade
May 21 02:42:29 <Turaiel>	K35: ...what? That's not even relevant.
May 21 02:42:32 <K35|tab>	Or wget, and then do some file parsing
May 21 02:42:54 <Turaiel>	...you don't seem to understand the problem here
May 21 02:43:03 <Turaiel>	Google+ is not externally writable.
May 21 02:43:18 <Turaiel>	There is NOTHING I can do besides what I'm doing right now.
May 21 02:43:42 <K35|tab>	I understand that.
May 21 02:44:59 <Turaiel>	Also, K35, you're assuming it's running Debian
May 21 02:46:12 <K35|tab>	You aren't suggesting it's a windows server are you?
May 21 02:46:18 <Turaiel>	No
May 21 02:46:26 <Turaiel>	Though it very well might be
May 21 02:46:44 <Turaiel>	I can't say which OS/distribution it's running.
May 21 02:46:55 <Turaiel>	Doesn't really matter
May 21 02:47:03 <Turaiel>	Your suggestion wasn't relevant to the problem anyway
May 21 02:49:21 <Turaiel>	Welp
May 21 02:49:49 <Turaiel>	I'm off to bed before I continue arguing with someone who arguably hasn't the slightest notion what he's talking about.
May 21 02:49:50 <Turaiel>	Night all
