jenkinsI don't see why not19:19
thorwilgodbyk: do you recall why some of the title page SVGs have lining figures and others text figures?20:37
thorwilgodbyk: anyway, pushed title page SVGs with "10.10"21:00
flanAww... jenkins didn't respond to my bragging. D:21:33

flanDid you get my random gloating, jenkins?22:09
flanJust asking so it doesn't stay in MemoServ forever.22:09
flanI should have the last two client-library functions written and documented for you by the time you wake up.22:10
jenkinsI did get it thanks flan :) thats brilliant news22:11
flanI think you'll like the inline quality-conversion/thumbnail-generation features.22:11
flanThey should help with keeping load down for people with closer connections to the server.22:12
flanslower*22:12
jenkinsthat does sound like a good idea, you are very clever fla22:13
jenkinsn22:13
* flan does not deal with flattery well.22:13
flan<violent-rage-here/>22:13
flanquality=0/quality=1..100 for PNG/JPEG. thumbnail=None/thumbnail=(x, y) for scaling.22:14
flanIn case you want to limit the size of the viewport for either the reference or the most recent submission, in the event that the user wants to decide whether they should retake a screenshot.22:15
jenkinsright makes sense22:15
flanOh. Also, you can pass a tempfile to the uploader, so I'll be reworking the capture code to do that instead of writing a file to ~/.quickshot.22:15
jenkinsok I am putting logs in ~/.quickshot so they can go there still if you like22:16
flanWe'll just need to store the reference string in memory when they go to take a screenshot so we can show it to them before and after they actually capture something, rather than have to hit the server twice. (If that fits with your flow)22:17
flanOh, I know ~/.quickshot will still exist. I'm just saying we don't need to put a named tempfile in there. Less stuff for the process to manage.22:17
* flan likes minimalism./22:18
jenkinsyep thats cool22:18
flanLemme know if you can think of any transformations that might be helpful additions to the image-access stuff.22:26
flanPIL exposes a lot of power.22:27
jenkinsI will do I can't think of any at the moment22:27
jenkinshey daker22:39
dakerjenkins, yep22:40
jenkinshows the quickshot site going?22:40
dakeri need to fix the contact page22:40
flanWe'll probably want to wait until any major bugs have been found during the Maverick test cycle before publishing it.22:40
jenkinssounds good, do let me/us know if there is any info you need22:41
dakerjenkins, oki22:41
flanMy info's available under red-hamsterx@launchpad or via 'whois uguu.ca'. The later's better for stalking.22:42
dakerwho is hosting qs.org ?22:42
flanDunno.22:42
flangodbyk, do you know?22:42
jenkinsI think kevin is22:47
flanActually, there's an easy way to check.22:49
flanYep.22:49
flanHe's listed as the admin and tech. Someone names Horia Adelean registred it, though.22:50
flan(whois record)22:50
jenkinsyep basiaclly some one randomly droped by and payed for the domain and told godbyk22:53
flanCrazy people.22:53
jenkinswell I would thank them if i knew who it wa22:53
jenkinss22:54
flanOh, well. It just means we have a user who cares.22:54
flanAnd that's worth a lot, motivation-wise.22:54
jenkinslol A user :P22:54
flanTheir e-mail address is in the whois result.22:54
flanWe should thank them once we release 1.0.22:54
jenkinsyep22:54
jenkinswhois record22:55
flan?22:55
jenkinsdon't worry copy and paste error22:55
flanOnly *I* may correct terminology arbitrarily.22:55
flanYou're not nearly enough of an arrogant jerk to do it. =P22:55
* flan arrogant jerk.22:55
jenkinsI can't read I thought "record" was their nick It actually is not :P22:56
flanWhoa. It's a three-year registration.22:57
jenkinswow thats well cool23:04
jenkinshow do you find this all out?23:04
flanwhois.23:04
jenkinshas anyone got the htc desire?23:04
flanNew terminal -> "whois quickshot.org"23:05
jenkinsthats great we must contact them]23:06
flanIf you ever need to yell at a (small) ISP over some technical issue, look them up and contact the listed tech -- it'll usually be someone in network operations, which means they're generally well-suited to address your concerns.23:06
flanSame for most businesses.23:06
godbykYeah, they just stopped buy and bought the domain -- it was the first domain name they'd ever purchased, even.23:07
godbykAnd I don't recall seeing them since.23:07
flanThey must love us. o.o23:07
flanMe and my weird emoticon-auto-response.23:07
godbykUnfortunately, a lot of whois records now just have placeholder info for the contact information. So it's hard to contact people directly.23:08
flanHency why I qualified that with 'small'.23:08
godbyk(It's usually to try to reduce the amount of spam you get -- both electronic mail and snail mail.)23:08
flanIt's a bit harder to get away with placeholder info in Canada.23:09
flanCIRA demands real contacts.23:09
godbykI'm a bit old-fashioned, though, and still trust people now to be mean and prefer to have my contact information readily available.23:09
flanSame.23:09
godbykI think that most registrars require real info, but then a lot of them let you mask that info so it doesn't appear publicly.23:09
flanThis is also true.23:10
godbykThey assign you some random garbage email address that forwards, etc.23:10
* flan goes home to write more code.23:10
