[04:58] hello [04:59] so ubuntu one allows applications to support synchronization with the magic of couchdb [05:00] according to linux outlaws? [05:00] i am curious, how is that superior to just keeping your apps data in ordinary files in your ubuntu one folder [05:03] i'm no expert. i think it hasn't been tested much, still in development [05:03] that might be a hassle for normal users [05:06] hmm [05:06] i still don't get it [05:08] have you tried it. does it work fine? [05:09] well yeah, i tried putting a file on it and also tried enabling the tomboy support [05:09] but i don't really use tomboy and only have one linux machine that i use heavily [05:09] it seems to work though [05:10] i've used drop box for a while [05:17] were you asking about files or apps data? same thing? maybe i misunderstood [05:18] thought you meant apps data as configs and prefs, etc. [05:22] whatever the couchdb thing is [05:23] i don't understand how it's different from just keeping config files on ubuntu one directory [05:26] 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 [05:27] try this for more .. http://twit.tv/floss99 [05:28] i actually i listened to that at work today [05:30] i've heard a lot of pitches, but i just don't what's impressive about it [05:30] i'm not trying to be negative, i just don't understand [05:32] well placed symbolic links provide this kind of functionality in a way that is transparent to the applications [05:32] dont understand One, or how it works .. ? [05:32] got it [05:36] well i'm wicked tired [05:37] i'm sure some app will come out some day that will show how obviously awesome couchdb integration is [05:37] goodnizzle [11:16] im teaching myself about symlinking this morning [11:16] if i symlinked a conf file in my home directory [11:16] to one that didn't exist in an ubuntu one folder [11:16] would that file get backed up? [12:14] honk === mbarnett` is now known as mbarnett [16:32] Hello [16:59] jelmer_: hi [17:00] hey Guillermo [17:01] Do you know if there are any plans for a desktopcouch backend for gconf? [17:01] jelmer_: I think there is [17:01] * verterok digg in the mail [17:05] jelmer_: I can't find the reference [17:05] jelmer_: but I think some user asked about that [17:06] ah, cool [17:06] that'd be a killer feature, at least for me [17:06] jelmer_: I think isn't in the plan for lucid, but if someone in the community works on it that would be great ;) [17:16] * verterok -> out [17:16] later! [17:18] verterok: ttyl! [18:32] Honk. [18:38] 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] and possibly vice-versa? [18:51] i'll take that as a not possible or not known .. thx [23:41] I've got one machine running Intrepid.. how do I get Tomboy on that machine to sync with ubuntu one? [23:42] My version of Tomboy doesn't have a "Tomboy Web" sync option.
