| jonafan_ | hello | 04:58 |
|---|---|---|
| jonafan_ | so ubuntu one allows applications to support synchronization with the magic of couchdb | 04:59 |
| burzki | according to linux outlaws? | 05:00 |
| jonafan_ | i am curious, how is that superior to just keeping your apps data in ordinary files in your ubuntu one folder | 05:00 |
| burzki | i'm no expert. i think it hasn't been tested much, still in development | 05:03 |
| burzki | that might be a hassle for normal users | 05:03 |
| jonafan_ | hmm | 05:06 |
| jonafan_ | i still don't get it | 05:06 |
| burzki | have you tried it. does it work fine? | 05:08 |
| jonafan_ | well yeah, i tried putting a file on it and also tried enabling the tomboy support | 05:09 |
| jonafan_ | but i don't really use tomboy and only have one linux machine that i use heavily | 05:09 |
| jonafan_ | it seems to work though | 05:09 |
| jonafan_ | i've used drop box for a while | 05:10 |
| burzki | were you asking about files or apps data? same thing? maybe i misunderstood | 05:17 |
| burzki | thought you meant apps data as configs and prefs, etc. | 05:18 |
| jonafan_ | whatever the couchdb thing is | 05:22 |
| jonafan_ | i don't understand how it's different from just keeping config files on ubuntu one directory | 05:23 |
| burzki | couchdb is a database, platform neutral. configures differently than mysql, ie. -- i know i wouldn't want to go around my system for all the app configs to get them into the One folder | 05:26 |
| burzki | try this for more .. http://twit.tv/floss99 | 05:27 |
| jonafan_ | i actually i listened to that at work today | 05:28 |
| jonafan_ | i've heard a lot of pitches, but i just don't what's impressive about it | 05:30 |
| jonafan_ | i'm not trying to be negative, i just don't understand | 05:30 |
| jonafan_ | well placed symbolic links provide this kind of functionality in a way that is transparent to the applications | 05:32 |
| burzki | dont understand One, or how it works .. ? | 05:32 |
| burzki | got it | 05:32 |
| jonafan_ | well i'm wicked tired | 05:36 |
| jonafan_ | i'm sure some app will come out some day that will show how obviously awesome couchdb integration is | 05:37 |
| jonafan_ | goodnizzle | 05:37 |
| b1ackcr0w | im teaching myself about symlinking this morning | 11:16 |
| b1ackcr0w | if i symlinked a conf file in my home directory | 11:16 |
| b1ackcr0w | to one that didn't exist in an ubuntu one folder | 11:16 |
| b1ackcr0w | would that file get backed up? | 11:16 |
| b1ackcr0w | honk | 12:14 |

| jelmer_ | Hello | 16:32 |
| verterok | jelmer_: hi | 16:59 |
| jelmer_ | hey Guillermo | 17:00 |
| jelmer_ | Do you know if there are any plans for a desktopcouch backend for gconf? | 17:01 |
| verterok | jelmer_: I think there is | 17:01 |
| * verterok digg in the mail | 17:01 | |
| verterok | jelmer_: I can't find the reference | 17:05 |
| verterok | jelmer_: but I think some user asked about that | 17:05 |
| jelmer_ | ah, cool | 17:06 |
| jelmer_ | that'd be a killer feature, at least for me | 17:06 |
| verterok | jelmer_: I think isn't in the plan for lucid, but if someone in the community works on it that would be great ;) | 17:06 |
| * verterok -> out | 17:16 | |
| verterok | later! | 17:16 |
| jelmer_ | verterok: ttyl! | 17:18 |

| riverbird | is there a way i can get tomboy off an 8.04 machine up into One, so that i can get it back down to my new machine? | 18:38 |
| riverbird | and possibly vice-versa? | 18:38 |
| riverbird | i'll take that as a not possible or not known .. thx | 18:51 |
| Izinucs | I've got one machine running Intrepid.. how do I get Tomboy on that machine to sync with ubuntu one? | 23:41 |
| Izinucs | My version of Tomboy doesn't have a "Tomboy Web" sync option. | 23:42 |
