[10:30] Yes, if it completed e-mail addresses too, it would have to complete address from only those people who had said they were ok with Launchpad publishing their addresses [10:30] which might be confusingly inconsistent [10:33] separate boxes ? [10:33] Hello everybody, what about making Launchpad accept "digg points" from the users, so we all can see which bugs and features are most popular? [10:33] [person] or [email] [10:35] Prognatus, yeah, we have thought for a long while about having a me too thing [10:36] Ok, it does sounds natural to me. How's the discussion about this going?

[10:37] finding it now === kiko-zzz submits popup to pqm and goes biking [10:38] The main drawback IMO is that the noise caused by people discussing, in a bug report, how many votes that bug report has, outweighs any benefit the number of votes confers in prioritizing the fix [10:39] but that's just my observation from watching votes be thoroughly ignored by developers in bugzilla.mozilla.org :-) [10:40] Yeah... but maybe people wouldn't file so many duplicates if the bugs and featues were more visible. === effie_jayx [n=valles@190.37.175.250] has joined #launchpad [10:42] It's probably a connection between amount of duplocates and "popularity" - or how often people encounter a certain thing and wish for changes. [10:42] Prognatus, the number of subscribers would work just as well for that, wouldn't it? [10:42] Anyway, here's the blueprint: https://blueprints.beta.launchpad.net/malone/+spec/bug-voting [10:42] whoops, https://blueprints.launchpad.net/malone/+spec/bug-voting [10:42] sorry [10:43] Yes, maybe.

[02:41] carlos: How long will it take for the queue to get to them, do you think? Days or weeks? [02:41] dneary: it should happen today [02:42] carlos: Great! [02:42] For the one from the bot, I'd prefer the import to be rejected and have a mail sent out [02:42] It will underline the fact that the problems I have been seeing are real :) [02:42] heya dave [02:43] dneary: ok === Seveas [n=seveas@ubuntu/member/seveas] has joined #launchpad === seb128 [n=seb128@ubuntu/member/seb128] has joined #launchpad [02:54] Hi jordi [02:54] jordi: Can you give me tips on marathon training? [02:56] I haven't prepared one yet, but maybe [02:56] oh, and kiko can help too [02:56] dneary: when is it, and what's your current condition? [02:56] jordi: It's the 29th of April, I've been running 25k a couple of times on the weekend [02:57] I've not been getting enough mid-week runs in though [02:57] I've been running about 10k during the week, and building up the mileage on the weekend [02:57] and do you have a target for total race time or so? [02:57] I don't have a huge amount of upper-body muscle though - haven't really done any strength training at all [02:58] Ah, if I make it under 4 hours I'll be happy :) [02:58] I'm doing a semi in training in around 1:50 these days [02:58] (taking it easy) [02:58] I fancy that'll be my marathon pace [02:58] nod [02:58] And I'll be adding some time for water & walking breaks [02:59] (although I take those in training anyway) [02:59] are those weekend trainings easy? ie, are they hard to complete right now? [02:59] (this is probably a bit off-topic for here, mind) [02:59] quite a bit :P [02:59] maybe we can take over #-hackers [02:59] I'll tell you Saturday - I'm planning to go 2.5 hours - around 28km [02:59] ok [03:00] launchpad-hackers.? [03:01] dneary, so it's fine to do a few 10ks during the week [03:02] and then do a longer run on sunday [03:02] remember to get enough rest as the mileage tends to wear you out [03:02] both bones and muscle [03:06] kiko: Yeah - I plan to start winding down the mileage about 3 weeks before the marathon [03:06] I have a 20 mile training run planned for the 31st [03:07] Roughly [03:07] dneary, do you have a half-marathon or similar to run around that time? [03:07] (3 weeks prior to race) [03:08] No [03:08] Not planned, anyway [03:08] But I'm not really training for speed [03:08] that would be nice to have [03:08] kiko: Want to join #running? :) [03:08] we all train for speed when you get down to it [03:09] I'm pretty sure you can walk 50ks :) [03:09] kiko: I mean, I'm not aiming for 3:15 or 3:30 [03:09] If I get over the line under 4 hours, I will be a happy man [03:10] a 3:15 is a decent run [03:10] kiko: /join #running - jordi is there too and we'll leave these launchpadders alone ;) [03:10] I am all for traffic on #launchpad, off-topic or not :) [03:10] these people are lunchpadders, mostly [03:11] Ah, let's stay here then [03:11] I am in too many channels anyway [03:11] LET'S DO IT then :) [03:11] ok so kiko I was telling dave I think hhis plan is good [03:11] kiko: 3:15 would be a monster time for me [03:11] I don't think I can do 5k at a 3:15 pace [03:11] I think his plan is pretty good indeed [03:11] he'll be well under 4h I guess [03:11] a 3:15 pace is about 4:30 a k isn't it? [03:11] jordi: You flatter me :) [03:12] dneary, what's your 10k PR? [03:12] he needs to get 3 sessions from now to the end of the training plan though, he has been getting 2 only some weeks [03:12] kiko: Yeah - 4:30/4:40 [03:12] I don't know what my 10k PB is [03:12] I would need to do a 10k race to find out ;) [03:12] 44? :) [03:13] I ran just over 7km fast today in 33 mins [03:13] dneary, you haven't done any tests? you should anyway [03:13] because otherwise you might mispace your marathon from the beginning [03:13] What tests? VO Max? [03:13] a 10k pr [03:13] no, time tests [03:14] do you know if there'll be time groups [03:14] Yes [03:14] There's runners for 3.30, 3.45, 4.00 and 4.30 [03:14] ie, if there'll be people marking a "3:45" group which you can try to follow [03:14] that's good [03:14] http://www.marathon-annecy.com/ [03:14] 3:15 is not a very hard pace but the last 15k are surprisingly hard [03:14] Actually, no 4.30 just a 4.15 [03:15] you can run the first 20 trivially [03:15] ok, so you want to do a 10km test, as kiko says [03:15] so you know more or less what to expect [03:15] I would do a 10k test myself [03:15] I did a semi in October, my first long race, I finished it pretty easy, but only in 2:01 [03:15] I was disappointed - I beat the 2:00 pace runner pretty well [03:16] kiko: dude my friend Graham just made it to Hawaii, in the NZ Ironman [03:16] On my own, or with a club? [03:16] on your own [03:16] his writeup about the race was fantastic [03:16] warm up very lightly for about 20 minutes [03:16] then do a 10k run on a flat fast course [03:16] do it as hard as you can [03:17] (though of course you should pace yourself somewhat as it will take you circa 40 minutes) [03:17] cool down some 10 minutes [03:17] and use that number to guide yourself in terms of pace [03:17] I don't think you will do any speed training at this point; you're better of just keeping on building your endurance base as you have not yet run the 40ks before [03:18] kiko: What's your best marathon time? [03:18] I did a 3:05 a few years ago [03:18] but I only ran 4 [03:18] my first was 3:20 something [03:20] hey kids! this kiko is my friend! === jordi <-- proud! [03:20] Phew [03:20] That's 4 39 minute 10ks [03:20] back to back :) [03:22] heh [03:23] kiko: I would guess (but it's a guess) that I'd be on a 47/48 minute 10k === carlos -> lunch [03:24] This thing says I am on pace for a 3:45 marathon (but I'll believe that when I see it) [03:24] http://runningtimes.com/rt/articles/?id=6765 [03:25] dneary: how strong are you mentally when the lows come? [03:26] I'm a stubbord git [03:26] stubborn [03:26] kiko: I thought your webpage had rss now [03:26] dneary: heh, what do you keep thinking to keep going? [03:26] I don't like giving up :) [03:26] I love talking about these thoughts with others [03:26] "Only anout hour left" [03:26] I find I have two techniques [03:27] Or realising that I'm stronger than the guy I passed who was lying on the side of the road [03:27] Or finding a talking mate [03:27] when morale is ok, I keep reminding me of what's left [03:27] "only another hour left" even [03:27] "okay, you've swam 400m, that's more than 1/4" [03:28] "come on, you're well over 1/3 now" [03:28] "it's just that buoy and then head to the beach" [03:28] Yeah - that too [03:28] and keep dividing [03:28] "get to the next mile marker" [03:28] Just one more lap [03:28] There's a water break just up ahead [03:28] etc [03:29] I've found myself doing "it's 13/15 done" :P [03:29] when I'm low, I try to think of what hurts more, and think it that'll be a good excuse [03:30] or maybe how lucky it'd be to get a flat tyre [03:30] and when I settle on an excuse I think "ok, I'll stop by boxes when I finish this lap", but then I get there, and say "so, you' finished one more lap. Let's postpone until the next" [03:31] and after a while I'm crossing the finish line [03:31] I'll remember that :) [03:31] good :) [03:31] Although I didn't really put myself through enoughh pain for the Marseille Cassis [03:31] the excuse thoughts are shared by many of my team mates, I found out once :) [03:31]
