| dpm | newz2000: hi, could you please look into bug 362949? | 10:50 |
| ubot3 | Malone bug 362949 in ubuntu-start-page "start.ubuntu.com webserver does not supports Asturian" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/362949 | 10:50 |
| newz2000 | hi dpm. Yes, I've looked into it and will set up a time w/ other parties to get this fixed by release day | 14:39 |
| dpm | newz2000: ok, great, thanks. Could you please comment on the bug to let the Asturian community members this is being worked on? | 15:00 |
| newz2000 | yeah, that would be good wouldn't it? I think this is actually a duplicate bug so will work it out so that people understand | 15:01 |
| jpds | newz2000: You in London? | 15:05 |
| newz2000 | jpds: Des Moines, Iowa, USA | 15:05 |
| jpds | Ah, right. | 15:05 |
| SiDi | (Des Moines means Some Monks in my language :P) | 15:06 |
| newz2000 | yeah, I think the french just tried to spell the native american name as well as they could | 15:06 |
| newz2000 | There really aren't too many monks around here. :-) | 15:07 |
| newz2000 | Though I did meet a Buddhist monk at a concert not too long ago | 15:07 |
| SiDi | hehe | 15:12 |
| SiDi | i think he arrived long after the french, though :D | 15:12 |
| emmajane | newz2000, ping :) | 16:06 |
| newz2000 | hello emmajane | 16:06 |
| emmajane | newz2000, hey :) | 16:07 |
| emmajane | newz2000, I'm delighted you like the new mockup. | 16:07 |
| emmajane | I'm just adding a google search to the bazaar site. is there a way to make it look less like their crappy bloated widget? | 16:07 |
| emmajane | I think one of the ubuntu sites uses google search..maybe? | 16:07 |
| newz2000 | Yes, the trick is to set up google custom search through adsense | 16:08 |
| newz2000 | it will still have ads, the only way to avoid that is to use the paid version | 16:08 |
| emmajane | ah. ok. | 16:08 |
| emmajane | should I get poolie to set that up? or would that be something he'd hand off to IS? | 16:09 |
| emmajane | (surprisingly, I don't want to be the forever overlord of the bazaar search) | 16:09 |
| newz2000 | yeah, good question | 16:09 |
| emmajane | he gave me one through their custom search. | 16:09 |
| newz2000 | do you have an account you can use to experiment with? | 16:09 |
| newz2000 | oh | 16:09 |
| emmajane | (which was tied to his account) | 16:09 |
| newz2000 | yes, then that'd how I'd proceed, through his | 16:10 |
| * emmajane nods | 16:10 | |
| emmajane | thanks :) | 16:10 |
| newz2000 | let me look to see how I did it on search.ubuntu.com I seem to remember it not being obvious | 16:10 |
| emmajane | I was just checking help. and it was lovely. | 16:11 |
| newz2000 | the one we're using is purely javascript based but allows the nicest themeing (of the free versions) | 16:11 |
| emmajane | newz2000, search. looks nice too. | 16:11 |
| * emmajane nods | 16:12 | |
| newz2000 | emmajane: http://www.google.com/cse/docs/ | 16:15 |
| newz2000 | "the developer guide" has some good stuff | 16:15 |
| newz2000 | search.u.c uses the js version, lauchpad.net uses the xml version which requires server side code | 16:15 |
| newz2000 | both allow rich themeing | 16:15 |
| emmajane | newz2000, http://www.gmodules.com/ig/creator?url=http://www.google.com/cse/api/009852948614216791564/cse/dr5xzrczfnu/gadget&synd=open&w=320&h=75&title=Bazaar+site+search+engine&border=%23ffffff%7C0px%2C1px+solid+%23004488%7C0px%2C1px+solid+%23005599%7C0px%2C1px+solid+%230077BB%7C0px%2C1px+solid+%230088CC <--- does that link work? | 16:16 |
| newz2000 | yeah, takes me to an "add this gadget to you rpage" bazaar site search | 16:16 |
| newz2000 | which does seem to give relevant links | 16:16 |
| emmajane | http://www.google.com/cse/home?cx=009852948614216791564%3Adr5xzrczfnu <-- that's the page if it doesn't work... | 16:17 |
| emmajane | ah. | 16:17 |
| * emmajane looks in the developer guide. | 16:17 | |
| emmajane | thanks for the link :) | 16:17 |
| newz2000 | There is a guy inside canonical who knows so much about this | 16:17 |
| newz2000 | named dustin kirkland | 16:18 |
| newz2000 | I can get you in touch with him if you get stuck. He really really likes this kind of stuff. | 16:18 |
| emmajane | I think I follow dustin on identi.ca :) | 16:18 |
| emmajane | heh | 16:18 |
| emmajane | we all need hobbies, eh? | 16:18 |
| newz2000 | indeed | 16:18 |
| emmajane | http://code.google.com/intl/en/apis/customsearch/docs/ui.html#searchbox looks usefful | 16:19 |
| newz2000 | Scroll down to "presenting the rsults on the same page" | 16:19 |
| newz2000 | that may be what you want | 16:20 |
| emmajane | ok | 16:20 |
| newz2000 | emmajane: did you see this floating around in the last few days? http://www.baselinecss.com/ | 16:20 |
| emmajane | isn't baseline css just a pipe dream? | 16:21 |
| * emmajane looks | 16:21 | |
| newz2000 | a newish grid framework | 16:21 |
| newz2000 | incorporates html 5 stuff | 16:21 |
| emmajane | ahh, cool! | 16:21 |
| newz2000 | may be a little cutting edge but definitely the way of the future | 16:21 |
| emmajane | I still need to update the 960 style sheets to use ems instead of fixed px. | 16:21 |
| newz2000 | I'm using 960 on ubuntu.com now but I really wish I could combine it with blueprint | 16:22 |
| newz2000 | I love and dislike things about both | 16:22 |
| * emmajane nods | 16:23 | |
| emmajane | Oo. I met Mark Boulton at DrupalCon. That was pretty cool. | 16:23 |
| newz2000 | I would expect you'd meet a lot of cool people at drupalcon. :-) | 16:23 |
| emmajane | I know most of the drupal folks just from IRC and it was nice to meet someone from the outside world. ;) | 16:25 |
| newz2000 | yeah, that is nice. | 16:26 |
| newz2000 | oh, just checked out 960's website and one of my beefs has been fixed... there's now a generator for custom dimensions | 16:26 |
| emmajane | \o/ | 16:26 |
| emmajane | someone was complaining recently about fixed vs. fluid. but they've had that for a while too. | 16:27 |
| knome | drupal? nice? | 16:27 |
| knome | where's the negative | 16:27 |
| emmajane | I spent a couple of hours looking at the YUI grid stuff but then realized it was only in 2.x and was sad and went back to 960. | 16:27 |
| newz2000 | yui's grid does not follow the same versioning as the yui js library | 16:28 |
| * emmajane nods. | 16:28 | |
| newz2000 | it's not as nice as 960 or blueprint for sure, but it does have two things | 16:28 |
| emmajane | and they've got huge DEPRECATEDs all over hte 3.x versino of the site. | 16:28 |
| newz2000 | it's nestable so you can put grids inside of grids easily, also it supports standard ad sizes easily | 16:28 |
| emmajane | I liked the nested columns of various set widths. that seemed cool to me (although i don't have a problem with 960s adding up columns) | 16:28 |
| emmajane | yah | 16:28 |
| emmajane | I really liked the video on why they came to have what they've got. | 16:29 |
| emmajane | it just seemed to be... rational. | 16:29 |
| newz2000 | yeah. I still don't want to use it though. :-) | 16:29 |
| newz2000 | hey knome, you and rime got anything exciting in mind for banners this time around? | 16:32 |
| knome | not really. we can help with doing thing X, if you need, i think ;) | 16:32 |
| knome | what do you think about the apng? | 16:32 |
| newz2000 | I think it's very clever. I'm open to using it. | 16:33 |
| newz2000 | But we need a message first | 16:33 |
| knome | did you see my post on the ML? | 16:34 |
| knome | specifically the concern about people "missing" something | 16:34 |
| knome | i mean, in the last time, the point was to stay on the last frame | 16:34 |
| knome | but now, if we put in an animated png... | 16:34 |
| knome | how to keep the whole animation interesting? | 16:35 |
| newz2000 | Yeah, there are numerous question marks. | 16:35 |
| newz2000 | The real solution would be to just use the HTML5 <video> tag of course. :-) | 16:36 |
| knome | i mean, the last time, i think the first frames were perfect. do we have anything like that this time? | 16:36 |
| knome | is there any ideas or needs from canonical? what to emphasis on? | 16:36 |
| newz2000 | We don't need to emphasize on anything, the marketing dept specifically likes to leave that in the hands of the community | 16:37 |
| newz2000 | if we want to, we can focus on the social aspects of karmic | 16:37 |
| knome | like.. what? :) | 16:38 |
| knome | one thing we could do with apng is to have a static part telling the most important things and then a little bar witn running text | 16:39 |
| newz2000 | that would be clever | 16:40 |
| newz2000 | most important thing being the number of days | 16:40 |
| knome | the only question mark is how much this would increase the file size | 16:41 |
| newz2000 | yeah | 16:41 |
| newz2000 | knome: why don't you sketch out your idea real quick and post it to the list or wiki? | 16:42 |
| knome | meh ;) | 16:43 |
| knome | what was the required size again? | 16:49 |
| newz2000 | 180x150 | 16:50 |
| knome | okay | 16:51 |
| newz2000 | It's okay if it's a rough drawing if you're just trying to get discussion going | 16:51 |
| knome | well i can do a gif sketch | 16:52 |
| knome | newz2000, http://emonk.fi/open/ubuntu/Karmic%20Countdown%20Banner/mockup.gif | 17:11 |
| emmajane | hrm. | 17:15 |
| emmajane | newz2000, http://search.ubuntu.com/ <--- is this the paid version? I can't figure out how I'd override the background image in the input text field. | 17:15 |
| knome | what background image? :P | 17:16 |
| newz2000 | it was the paid version but we didn't renew (they wanted something like $70,000 per year) so it reverted to the normal version | 17:16 |
| emmajane | newz2000, good lord. | 17:16 |
| emmajane | newz2000, but weird on the bgimage. I guess you've got one of the XML settings files for it? | 17:17 |
| knome | gosh, thunderbird fails. | 17:17 |
| newz2000 | I think there was just a line of js that I left out | 17:17 |
| * emmajane looks again | 17:17 | |
| newz2000 | a script tag that when excluded takes the watermark off | 17:17 |
| emmajane | hrm. I must have something idfferent. | 17:19 |
| emmajane | mine's just got: | 17:19 |
| emmajane | (erm trying to copy from vim) | 17:19 |
| knome | newz2000, sent mail to the ML | 17:19 |
| emmajane | 39 <!-- Google Custom Search Element --> | 17:21 |
| emmajane | 40 <div id="cse" class="grid_5 omega">Loading</div> | 17:21 |
| emmajane | 41 <script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi" type="text/javascript"></script> | 17:21 |
| emmajane | 42 <script type="text/javascript"> | 17:21 |
| emmajane | 43 google.load('search', '1'); | 17:21 |
| emmajane | 44 google.setOnLoadCallback(function(){ | 17:21 |
| emmajane | 45 var cse = new google.search.CustomSearchControl(); | 17:21 |
| emmajane | 46 cse.enableAds('009852948614216791564%3Adr5xzrczfnu'); | 17:21 |
| emmajane | 47 cse.draw('cse'); | 17:21 |
| emmajane | 48 }, true); | 17:21 |
| emmajane | 49 </script> | 17:21 |
| emmajane | ooooooooooooo channel spam | 17:21 |
| emmajane | cse.draw('cse') does the actual creation of the search box. | 17:22 |
| emmajane | so there's not a lot to remove from the widget I got. | 17:23 |
| emmajane | newz2000, ^^ | 17:26 |
