ubuntujenkinsi thought i would try it as I would like eveything working with the me menu and in one program. I am going to try thunderbird once i work out how to get the mail from evolution into it00:14
brandonjI think it only does that if you have the irssi behvior plugin enabled00:15
ubuntujenkinszkriesse: I have 4 accounts where is the option to make each one have its mail in its own inbox and not in the global one?00:18
ubuntujenkinsin thundebird00:18
zkriesseubuntujenkins: ok you want to set them up or you already did00:18
ubuntujenkinsI have not set them all up yet. I only did one. iirc there is a setting somewhere in thunderbird so that each has its own inbox00:19
zkriesseubuntujenkins: Edit -> Account Settings -> Account Actions -> Add Mail Account00:21
ubuntujenkinsright i get that bit00:22
zkriesseok00:22

=== godbyk-sagan_ is now known as godby-sagan
godby-saganhumphreybc: What's wrong with inkscape now?01:51
humphreybceverything01:51
godby-sagan(Conference is over for the day.)01:51
humphreybcabsolutely everything is wrong with it01:51
humphreybcand where are the translated editions!?01:52
godby-saganlol01:52
godby-saganthey're still being worked on.01:52
godby-saganI have to test some stuff with the Greek edition.  I think the German edition is waiting on some translations, still.01:52
godby-saganAnd I haven't been in contact with anyone about any other translations recently (that I recall).01:53
humphreybc=\01:53
godby-saganI know.  First it was a new job, and now I'm off at a conference.01:54
humphreybcthat's okay01:54
godby-saganBut I think both translations should be ready in the next 2-3 weeks.01:54
godby-sagan(I'll be back in the middle of next week, so as long as too much work hasn't piled up, I should be able to make some progress on the manual.)01:55
humphreybcokay, cool01:55
godby-saganWe also need to check in on progress for the second edition.01:55
humphreybcyea01:55
godby-saganWhat're our goals for the second edition? How are we progressing toward those goals?01:55
zkriesseyou mean lucid e2?01:55
godby-saganzkriesse: Yeah.01:56
godby-saganBug-fixing is a bit sporadic, but continuing.01:56
godby-sagan(well bug-reporting + bug-fixing)01:56
zkriessegodby-sagan: Ah yeah01:56
godby-sagan(Bugs usually get fixed fairly quickly after they've been reported.)01:56

ubuntujenkinsevening all19:05
ubuntujenkinsI have just taken most of the code out of the bin/quickshot file it annoyed me20:43
c7pubuntujenkins: ping21:07
ubuntujenkinsc7p: pong21:07
c7pi sent you the tex file21:09
ubuntujenkinsso you did :)21:10
ubuntujenkinsso we think this is it?21:10
c7pyou mean the final tex file ?21:11
ubuntujenkinsyep21:12
ubuntujenkinswe just need kevin to do the final build and upload it right?21:13
ubuntujenkinsI have no access to the server anyhow21:13
c7pwell a team member found some bugs but he hasn't sent me until now the changes21:14
c7pso i guess it's the final21:14
c7pi don't think this would be the final build since kevin wants to ensure that everything is ok21:15
c7palso the script that generates the pdf and upload them on the site must have bug21:16
c7pcause it messes up the index page references21:16
ubuntujenkinsc7p: kevin would do this one himself not the script. we will have to ping him and let him know21:18
ubuntujenkinsgodbyk-android: / godbyk-sagan ping21:18
ubuntujenkinsflan: ping21:29
c7pg2g21:31
ubuntujenkinssee ya c7p21:32
c7pcya21:32
ubuntujenkinsflan: i have started naming things properly so the first window is called welcome so i have self.welcome = get("welcome") then importing the button following the way it was done last release it would read self.welcome.welcome_forward_btn = get("welcome_forward_btn") . is it ok to go with self.welcome_forward_btn = get("welcome_forward_btn"). there is a differnece?21:34
flanbtn_ should be a prefix, not a suffix.21:35
flanThe reason being primarily for legibility's sake.21:35
flanFirst for skimming and second for exploration with dir() or other reflection-like facilities.21:36
ubuntujenkinsdoh!21:36
* ubuntujenkins changes them all21:36
flanSorry. :(21:36
flanI'm not sure I fully understand your question, though.21:36
ubuntujenkinsnp i should do it right21:36
ubuntujenkinsbasically the old way it would look like self.welcome.welcome_forward_btn = get("welcome_forward_btn")21:37
flanAlso, though it probably doesn't matter too much as long as we're consistent, prefixing things with underscores in the Python convention for marking stuff as "private".21:37
ubuntujenkinsthe new way for the button is  self.welcome_forward_btn = get("welcome_forward_btn")21:37
ubuntujenkinswill i be ok if i change _ to -21:38
ubuntujenkinsi remmber being told that now21:38
flanself._btn_whatever is preferable to self.btn_whatever, as long as it doesn't make things inconsistent.21:38
ubuntujenkinswhats the point of the "private" thing again?21:39
flanIf this button is being attached to a class named 'welcome', does repeating 'welcome' in its name help or hinder clarity for any other developers?21:39
ubuntujenkinsno i did not think so21:39
flanPrivate, in Python, is a signal to others that they shouldn't mess with the attribute unless they know what they're doing.21:40
flanIn other languages, like Java, it's strictly enforced, preventing casual access to things that shouldn't be visible to the outside world.21:40
ubuntujenkinso ok cool, i will do that on the important bits21:41
flanIn the part of Quickshot you're working on, it doesn't really matter if you use 'private' hints or not.21:41
ubuntujenkinsas you can tell i am still learning21:41
ubuntujenkinsthats what i fugured stuff like password handling etc should proabbly have it21:41
flanIn mine, it does, since I wouldn't want you to access things like the server's hostname directly, because for all you know, my code may change that every three seconds.21:41
flanPrivacy doesn't actually protect data in any languages.21:42
ubuntujenkinsif i tried to look at your code it would take a while to understand, your comments are good though. just my knolegde is not as good as yours21:43
flanMy code in the first release is pretty hackish.21:43
flan(Deadlines)21:44
ubuntujenkinsI need to find a place to put my big screen, glade is not good on 1280x80021:44
flanI'd recommend that you keep doing what you're doing now and just ask when you get stuck.21:44
ubuntujenkinsthanks will do21:44
flanYou'll find better ways to do things as you write more code.21:45
flanAnd then you'll want to go back and improve the earlier stuff.21:45
flanYou're not going to do everything right the first time. Nobody ever does.21:45
flan(Even if they know the language and have a solid plan to work against)21:46
flanJust look at all of my "restructuring" and "thought of a better way to do this" commit messages.21:46
ubuntujenkinsI am glad we have a bit more time real life has taken over a bit for me21:47
flanSame. Preparing to move has totally shot my productivity.21:47
flanAnd I had finally regained my motivation, too. :(21:48
flanOh, well.21:48
ubuntujenkinswe will get there21:48
flanI'm sure I'll be, like, suffering fromw ithdrawl when I'm settled in.21:48
flanThough I managed to introduce Debian and Python at work, so...21:49
ubuntujenkinsnight all22:45

godbyk-androiddaker:  looks pretty nice. We should get more blogs on the planet sometime.23:55
godbyk-androidjenkins: I see.23:55
jenkinsjussi: are you able to change the name which i am op'd under? or do i need humphreybc? I decided to change my nick from ubuntujenkins to jenkins.  probably not the right time to choose :(23:56
jenkinsthe only thing is i need to transfer people talking to jenkins not ubuntujenkins. I am thinking an auto responder on my old nick23:57
