tsmithei have U too (on firefox)11:01
BurgundaviaU is Unix11:01
jendaaha11:01
BurgundaviaI think11:01
jenda    *  N for no security11:01
jenda    * U for strong security11:01
jenda    * I for weak security11:01
jendaI don't think so :)11:01
tsmitheBurgundavia: what is it supposed to do?11:02
Burgundaviatry now?11:03
Burgundaviait sniffs the current platform and then offers the most logical choice for download11:03
tsmithesame11:03
tsmitheobviously msie doesnt give out the platform!11:03
jendatsmithe: try ubuntu.ca/test.html now11:04
Burgundaviawhat does useragentstring.com tell you your platform is?11:04
tsmithesame!11:04
jendaok 11:04
tsmithe Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)11:04

tsmithei mean arch11:05
Burgundaviatry now11:05
tsmithesame11:06
Burgundaviaexcept you just checked with your firefox browser11:06
tsmithenope11:06
Burgundaviatail -f works wonders11:06
tsmithei did also just check with firefox11:06
tsmithebut with ie as well11:06
Burgundaviahmm11:07
tsmithealso, why is it an "else if" for amd64? dont you want to display both the x86 and x86_64 options?11:07
Burgundaviasure11:08
Burgundaviajust making it certain I can detect it now11:09
Burgundaviathe eventual plan will be to offer everything, but say "this is what your computer is likely running right now"11:09
Burgundaviatry now11:09
tsmithenope11:09
tsmithenavigator.platform.indexOf("Win32")11:10
tsmithe?11:10
tsmithei think that's the windows string11:10
Burgundaviaok, try that11:10
tsmithegood to go!11:10
Burgundaviarock11:11
Burgundavianow I need an Win64 user11:11

tsmithehang on11:11
Burgundaviayep11:11
jenda"a little googling never hurt anyone!" <-- curiosity killed the cat, don't forget.11:14

tsmitheand he's quite curious11:15
tsmitheno win64 people in #ubuntu either!11:18
tsmithei should try a windows channel11:19
Burgundaviagot two in ##windows11:19
tsmithedamn11:19
tsmitheyou had better initiative!11:19
tsmithelol: "Replace your 64-bit Windows!"11:20
Burgundaviadoes it work for you?11:21
tsmithenope. i'm just looking at the sources!11:21
tsmithei could set up qemu to emulate a 64-bit box. but that might be a bit slow on my 32-bit machine...11:22
Burgundaviahmm, interesting11:26
Burgundaviahow do we deal with people running 32 browsers on 64 bit OSes?11:27
Burgundaviabecause the user agent string tells us nothing11:27
tsmithedunno.11:28
Burgundaviafor now, if we offer all three, current win64 users are probably savvy enough11:28
jendaprolly11:29
tsmitheyeah11:30
tsmithei guess11:30
jendaI wish I had a digital camera.11:31

Admiral_Chicagobut i was asking about general marketing, not OS specific11:47
jenda...I should learn more about it before I go, though :)11:47
jendaAdmiral_Chicago: we're still learning.11:48
Admiral_Chicagojenda: mine is on F/OSS /hacking/ Ubuntu community11:48

jendaoops :)11:52
jendawhat'd i miss?11:52
jendaplease don't attack people.11:52
jendatsmithe: dunno.11:52
tsmithewell you went "ping", and then left, so i guessed you'd been flooded with pongs11:52
tsmithea denial of service11:52
jendadon't think so :)11:53
jendaBut no idea what happened.11:53
jenda"* You have been kicked from #ubuntu-marketing by -bip (Server disconnected, reconnecting)"11:54
jendaoh well. bip doesn't like me :)11:54
tsmithewhat's "bip"?11:54
Burgundaviawierd11:54
tsmithe"* You have been kicked from #ubuntu-marketing by -bip (Server disconnected, reconnecting)"11:55
tsmithewhat's bip?!11:55
tsmithenot even a user!11:55
jendait's my IRC proxy :)11:56
tsmitheah!11:56
jendamy other PC, in other words :)11:56
tsmithewhy a proxy11:56
tsmithe?11:56
jendabecause that way, you never know I log off11:57
jendaunless the server cuts me off, like just a while ago.11:57
jendaI can grab my lappy, disconnect from IRC, go to school, connect again, and you wont' see a thing - and I won't miss a thing, because of backlogs.11:58
tsmithewhy do i care if you log off?11:58
tsmitheif you do and i dont know its weird trying to talk to you!11:58
jenda12:00
jendawell, I'll see all the messages when I come back.12:00
tsmitheby which time ive gone!12:00
jendaIt's no weirder than leaving IRC on overnigth, which most people do anyway.12:01
jendaor - many.12:01
tsmithei dont12:01
jendamost people in this channel definitely do.12:01
tsmithei can tell.12:01
tsmitheive never seen it with less than 26 users12:01
tsmitheand its obviously empty lots of the time12:01
jenda#ubuntu is worse :)12:02
tsmithebut that's always active12:02
jendanever goes under 800, and you hardly see more than 20 people active.12:02
tsmitheyeah... 845 just now12:03
tsmithethat's a hell of a lot12:03
tsmithe(almost as many as at my school!)12:03
jendaanother advantage: I don't need onjoin channels.12:03
jendaWhen I join a channel, I'm in it until I decide to leave.12:03
jendaOr someone decides for me :)12:03
tsmithewell i just have xchat join automagically12:04
jendayes - but I change my mind often :)12:05
jendaand besides, I have too many channels for xchat to manage :/12:05
tsmitheah12:05
tsmithei have 712:05
tsmithenow 612:05
jendaI prefer not to count them :)12:06
jendaut it's around 3012:06

BurgundaviaI love using epiphany for editing html12:12
Burgundaviait uses inotify to pick up local changes and reloads itself12:12
tsmithewow! i should really use epiphany. i just dont like it's tab handling12:13
jendasounds spiffy12:13
Burgundaviawhat don't you like about its tabs?12:13

tsmithewhat went wrong there?05:36
lophytethere were 3 people from Ubuntu Toronto including myself.. all of which were trying to lead the workshop05:36
tsmitheoh05:36
lophyteso it was really confusing to have people constantly interrupting to add their two cents05:37
lophytenot to mention that their two cents usually included technical jargon that people may or may not be familiar with05:37
tsmithewhat did the audience think?05:37
lophytethere were one of two folks that seems dissatisfied05:38
lophytebut for the most part they seemed to enjoy it, and they wer epolite and thanked me afterward05:38
lophytethere was only about a dozen people05:38
tsmithewell then it wasnt that bad! your always gonna have some humbug whos dissatisfied!05:39
lophytewell I felt it was bad.. mostly because we had 3 people trying to talk05:39
lophytehttp://www.linuxcaffe.ca/node/78405:40
