[04:58] <jonafan_> hello
[04:59] <jonafan_> so ubuntu one allows applications to support synchronization with the magic of couchdb
[05:00] <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
[05:03] <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
[05:06] <jonafan_> hmm
[05:06] <jonafan_> i still don't get it
[05:08] <burzki> have you tried it.  does it work fine?
[05:09] <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
[05:10] <jonafan_> i've used drop box for a while
[05:17] <burzki> were you asking about files or apps data?  same thing?  maybe i misunderstood
[05:18] <burzki> thought you meant apps data as configs and prefs, etc.
[05:22] <jonafan_> whatever the couchdb thing is
[05:23] <jonafan_> i don't understand how it's different from just keeping config files on ubuntu one directory
[05:26] <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
[05:27] <burzki> try this for more .. http://twit.tv/floss99
[05:28] <jonafan_> i actually i listened to that at work today
[05:30] <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
[05:32] <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
[05:36] <jonafan_> well i'm wicked tired
[05:37] <jonafan_> i'm sure some app will come out some day that will show how obviously awesome couchdb integration is
[05:37] <jonafan_> goodnizzle
[11:16] <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?
[12:14] <b1ackcr0w> honk
[16:32] <jelmer_> Hello
[16:59] <verterok> jelmer_: hi
[17:00] <jelmer_> hey Guillermo
[17:01] <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
[17:05] <verterok> jelmer_: I can't find the reference
[17:05] <verterok> jelmer_: but I think some user asked about that
[17:06] <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 ;)
[17:16]  * verterok -> out
[17:16] <verterok> later!
[17:18] <jelmer_> verterok: ttyl!
[18:32] <TimH1> Honk.
[18:38] <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?
[18:51] <riverbird> i'll take that as a not possible or not known .. thx
[23:41] <Izinucs> I've got one machine running Intrepid.. how do I get Tomboy on that machine to sync with ubuntu one?
[23:42] <Izinucs> My version of Tomboy doesn't have a "Tomboy Web" sync option.
