[07:01] can anybody help me to connect GPRS?? [14:05] nigel_nb: you're about to hate me, but my mic is broken :( (discovered yesterday when I tried to do the voice bits of those screencasts) [14:05] Pendulum: hahaha [14:08] Pendulum: so you wont be able to record too? [14:08] no :( [14:10] * nigel_nb bangs his head on the keyboard [14:11] there was swearing when this was discovered [14:12] and then I took the anger out on the cockroach infestation in my flat [14:12] now I'm lost wondering whom to ask [14:13] Pendulum: do u know if pleia2 has a working mic (my last option) :( [14:13] dunno [14:14] you could also do them yourself (or find a non-female-voiced person since at this point it's finding someone that seems to be the problem) [14:14] not a good one [14:14] (and I don't really have time for it anyway) [14:18] mornin [14:21] Pendulum: indian accent is not really ideal for a screencast [14:21] * popey is happy to voice over :) [14:21] if you dont mind English Male [14:21] i dont :) [14:21] great :) [14:22] i will not be offended if not chosen though :) [14:22] popey: its the same one we talked sometime back [14:22] using IRC with pidgin and Webchat [14:22] i do have decent recording equipment though [14:22] popey: I think you've likely now got the job :P [14:22] heh [14:22] Pendulum: hehe [14:23] popey: yep, you got the job. Now, the only question is how I get the videos to you (I think you may have one of them already) [14:23] i thought I had two? [14:23] what are the names, I'll look for them [14:24] IRCwithWeb and IRCwithPidgin [14:24] ta [14:24] popey: you can voice over them, mix them, and add to screencasts team yourself if u want to [14:24] cool [14:24] I just want it up and be able to share it :) === mhall1191work is now known as mhall119|work [14:25] the idea is when we blog about user days, we can add to the posts " If you dont know how to use IRC, see these videos .." === akgraner` is now known as akgraner [14:29] _marx_: I still haven't gotten the files from ubuntuone :( [14:35] popey: when a video is added to the screencast team, is it okay to post in on our blogs? [14:35] sure [14:36] great :) [14:36] just give me a shout when you're done and I'll update the wiki pages too :) :) [14:40] cjohnston: I have something close to a bad news for you [14:41] uh oh [14:41] cjohnston: I *may* need to go home on a family emergency on the week of Ubuntu User Day, I'll make sure that you have the entire content of my session so that anyone can lead it [14:41] ok [14:52] pleia2: ping? [15:31] <_marx_> nigel_nb: I've repeated the steps on ubuntuone [15:31] checking again [15:32] I'm supposed to check shared with me right? [15:33] <_marx_> afaik yes [15:35] _marx_: nothing in shared with me :( [15:35] <_marx_> hum [15:36] well, then its not working, bah, bug [15:36] now wat do we do :( [15:37] try mediafire then [15:37] <_marx_> well check your email nigel_nb it says you haven't accepted the share [15:37] oh [15:37] checking [15:39] _marx_: check the email you sent it to [15:39] I haven't gotten it [15:44] * _marx_ needs to learn to type === doctormo_ is now known as doctormo [22:06] hi all, sorry im not around much atm, just in the middle of moving house and getting my daughter started in daycare [22:07] Vantrax: first year in daycare? [22:07] yeah, shes only 4 months old [22:07] have fun [22:07] sometime in the next 5 days, everyone in your house is going to be sick [22:07] just warning you [22:07] yeah... she doesnt like it [22:08] I dont even have internet at home yet >.< [22:08] damn phone company is screwing around [22:08] find yourself a good book then [22:08] yeah, been reading Robert Jordan [22:08] daycares and schools are like shock and awe for the immune system [22:09] lol, i can imagine [22:26] Hey Vantrax, hope your having a good new year. [22:27] yeah, not bad so far, but no internet sucks [22:28] It would drive me to start living at my community center. [22:32] i keep going into work to use the internet while im on holidays:P [22:33] I remember doing that back int he day [22:33] Now I just make aragements with neighbours, that's why local community is still important... shared wifi [22:34] lol [22:37] http://www.downloadsquad.com/2009/12/26/chinese-copy-cat-pirates-launch-ubuntu-that-looks-just-like-windows-xp/ [22:40] Vantrax: That's not exactly piracy... it's more like copyright infringment through a dirivitive work. [22:41] funny tho [22:41] Sure [22:41] Interesting too, the guile of people and also the amount of familarity we have to overcome in our teaching. [22:44] <_marx_> saw that too and wondered how a familiar looking interface could help new users [22:49] * _marx_ was a windows user for a year or so and has 10 minutes on mac [22:50] _marx_: It can't, it's mostly about confusing the brand (trademark problems) and making people believe they are getting one thing, when they are really getting another. [22:52] <_marx_> doctormo: I think you are correct: it's important for new users to "see" a difference immediately [22:52] <_marx_> prepares them for more differences to come [22:52] This is why I think that making things blue with a start button is just the wrong way to go. [22:53] I've had a lot of positive reactions from new interfaces, it makes people believe that what they're getting is different and they brace for niggles. [22:54] <_marx_> exactly, and ask questions from the person making the introduction
