newz2000hey MTecknology, just saw the security notice from Drupal.org for the ubuntu theme21:17
newz2000Can you shed any light onto this?21:17
stasAlanBell: wanna see a demo of wp theme in full action? :)21:37
stashttp://ubu.rivalry.nerd.ro/21:37
AlanBellooh nice21:40
staswe're finally moving the content21:42
AlanBellhttp://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/website <- brainstorming of stuff we want to do with ours21:42
AlanBellhttp://beta.ubuntu-uk.org progress so far21:42
AlanBellwe are working on openstreetmap integration21:43
staswhats the plan with openstreetmap?21:43
AlanBelland I want to do a little script to embed todays IRC logs21:43
AlanBellallow people to say what town they are in, and link to their wiki page/launchpad profile21:43
AlanBelldifferent markers for events and venues we use21:44
AlanBellbit like the launchpad maps that got removed21:44
stasAlanBell: i wrote some time ago a wordpress plugin that does this21:45
stashttp://softwareliber.ro/despre/harta/?lang=en21:45
staswe actually build the lugs map in our country with it21:45
AlanBellnice21:45
AlanBellreally nice :)21:46
stasi dropped the feature to use OSM because they didn't have a functional api for geolocation search21:47
AlanBellis the plugin in the wordpress.org repository thing?21:47
stasso i would need googles api for that anyway21:47
stasAlanBell: yes, guess the name: lug map :)21:47
AlanBellyeah, that is a problem, I *really* don't want to tell people to find out their latitude and longitude to add themselves to the map!21:47
stasi plan a rewrite of it asap, cause the code is horrible21:49
MTecknologynewz2000: I had a PHP file that generated an image that opened up directory traversal.21:53
newz2000Do you think it would be good for you to mention it on the website and loco team mailing lists to encourage people to upgrade?21:53
newz2000MTecknology: ^21:53
MTecknologynewz2000: sure, I had to keep it private until the fix was released, but I'll tell anyone anything now21:55
newz2000Why don't you go ahead and make an announcement to those lists21:55
MTecknologyyup21:55
newz2000thanks man21:55
AlanBellhttp://beta.ubuntu-uk.org/where-are-we/ nearly works, but doesn't add the pin21:58
AlanBellI don't have database access so can't easily see if it is populating the table21:58
stasAlanBell: i'll take a look, it works for us with older wp22:06
MTecknologynewz2000: I think I sent it..22:18
stasMTecknology: got it too, thanks22:18
newz2000thanks MTecknology22:18
MTecknologyyay22:18
MTecknologythis week has just been hell22:19
MTecknology:(22:19
stasits not over it :|22:19
stasyet*22:19
MTecknologyI just want to go home and sleep for the rest of it :'(22:20
MTecknologyattorneys are expensive too22:21
newz2000!!22:21
MTecknologynewz2000: as an ubuntu member... i get an attorney provided by canonical.. llike lwn... right?22:21
newz2000:-) It never hurts to ask22:21
MTecknologyit has very little to do with open source22:22
MTecknologyin fact all that it does have to do with open source is that we use drupal22:22
newz2000I think it's actually one or the other, either LWN or an attorney, you have to choose when you get membership22:22
newz2000MTecknology: is this relating to some work you're doing for a client?22:23
MTecknologylol22:24
MTecknologynewz2000: somewhat with a client - but the issue isn't with them22:24
MTecknologyquery?22:24
MTecknologynah.. I think i made it public enough22:24
newz2000I just know that when I did freelance stuff once in a while we'd get a client who went legal if we didn't hit a date or something22:24
MTecknologyBasically... two of the partners (i'm the third) want to leave, but one contract that they want to take (and I want them to take) is bound to this company - no way to get out of that22:25
newz2000always a pain, only happened when they had a staff or retainer attorney22:25
newz2000ah22:25
MTecknologyit's the liability that we're most concerned with22:25
newz2000equal partnerships are always murky water22:26
newz2000Good way to lose friends22:26
dakernewz2000, anything about the new template ?22:27
newz2000daker: what's that? Referring to moin theme?22:27
dakernewz2000, i mean the guidelines update22:29
MTecknologynewz2000: one was a friend, the other I've hated the whole trip22:29
newz2000MTecknology: :-)22:29
MTecknologynewz2000: him yelling at me today the way he did and the choice of words he used kinda sealed our relationship for life22:29
MTecknologyso I called him a whiny prick22:30
newz2000sounds like a descending spiral22:30
newz2000daker: actually, yes, I started a draft e-mail yesterday and need to hit the send button22:31
MTecknologypretty much22:31
newz2000daker: but basically, it isn't ready. I really mis-understood the status of that and it needs some more iteration before Ale is ready for people to play with it22:31
newz2000MTecknology: back in 2000 I started a company with a friend. We were "partners" but tehcnically he was putting up the money so he was the sr. partner.22:32
newz2000For the first half year it was great, fun and all.22:32
newz2000Then it started getting hard. Put a lot of strain on our friendship.22:33
newz2000We went separate ways and our friendship is recovering, but the last year was tough. (we went 4.5 years)22:33
newz2000if I ever do that again I won't do a partnership22:34
newz2000MTecknology: sorry you're having a struggle though. :-/22:36
MTecknologynewz2000: thanks for the sympathy, I'm hoping we can keep things civil.. I'm not opposed to just leaving and going to work at the local ISP...22:37
MTecknologywhat I really need is a big black beer22:37
newz2000For half a second thought you said "big black bear"22:38
MTecknologylol22:38
AlanBellthe drupal image bug thing is limited just to drupal right? not wordpress?22:56
newz2000AlanBell: yes, there was a drupal theme from a while back, a year at least22:56
AlanBellah right, thanks22:57
