| alourie | hello | 12:39 |
|---|---|---|
| nhandler | akgraner, pleia2: I mentioned this in passing the other day, but what are your thoughts on having either a page or a box on the side that always displays the most recent interview? I just wrote up a quick POC. I have it restricted to only display interviews from a few approved sources (to ensure we don't start displaying inappropriate content). | 16:01 |
| akgraner | let's try it :-) | 16:01 |
| akgraner | worst that can happen is no-one likes it - best thing is it works beautifully and people like it and use it :-) | 16:02 |
| akgraner | won't know til we try | 16:02 |
| nhandler | akgraner: Alright. I'll give it a try | 16:07 |
| akgraner | The IS team is doing their best to give each plugin an ack through a security review of the code - that's why the migration is taking so long | 16:08 |
| akgraner | all the code has to pass that security review before it goes onto the Canonical servers | 16:08 |
| akgraner | (which makes sense) | 16:09 |
| akgraner | so hopefully they all will | 16:09 |
| akgraner | I tried my absolute best for them to give us a re-direct to the ubuntu-news.org site | 16:09 |
| akgraner | even jono would not ack that - and the policy is that ANY official Ubuntu sites are hosted and owned by Canonical and the Fridge and UWN are the official news sources | 16:11 |
| nhandler | Well, that isn't fully true, but w/e | 16:13 |
| * nhandler is trying to figure out how WP stores pages | 16:13 | |
| akgraner | However, on the good side - there will *now* be (once the migration is complete) a wordpress based fridge that people can contribute to easily now an we the fridge admin editors can make changes to the look and content of the site more easily | 16:15 |
| akgraner | I tried saying other "official" sources had redirects or were hosted other places using the examples I had but were given reasons why those did not meet that criteria | 16:17 |
| akgraner | nhandler, would love to talk to you and see if you have other references | 16:17 |
| nhandler | akgraner: Let's just see how this turns out. If they ack everything through and we just end up with what we have now but on fridge.ubuntu.com (with the same level of access), all would be fine ;) | 16:18 |
| akgraner | exactly | 16:19 |
| akgraner | nhandler, I was asking just so I could understand better - not to go back and bring it up | 16:19 |
| nhandler | akgraner: I can get you the list if you want, I don't have it handy. | 16:24 |
| nhandler | akgraner: Here is the output of the script (I need to figure out a way to get it to show up inside a WP page (so it is themed): http://ubuntu-news.org/interview.html | 16:24 |
| akgraner | nhandler, you are a scripting mad man - :-) you rock! | 16:25 |
| nhandler | akgraner: If all goes well, that page should update every hour. It parses the interviews page on the wiki, but will only work for blog.joeb454, behindthecircle.org, and ubunt-user.com interviews for now (to prevent abuse). I'll add other trusted sites when I get a chance. | 16:30 |
| akgraner | thank you! | 16:36 |
| nhandler | akgraner: I took the script one farther. I created http://ubuntu-news.org/interview/ . I then modified the script so that instead of updating a static html file, it updates this page on the site. | 18:18 |
| nhandler | The one issue is, since it uses my credentials (i.e. password), I need to have it run on my local machine instead of on ubuntu-news.org like I would prefer | 18:18 |
| nhandler | Hey Joeb454 | 18:30 |
| * nhandler is currently copying his script over to his desktop machine which should be at least a bit more stable than his laptop | 18:30 | |
| Joeb454 | hey nhandler | 18:30 |
| pleia2 | neat, an interviews page on the wiki | 18:31 |
| Joeb454 | right, time for food, back later :) | 18:31 |
| pleia2 | ubuntu-us.org and fullcirclemagazine.org can be added to trusted | 18:32 |
| nhandler | pleia2: I'll add ubuntu-us.org shortly. I need to figure out what I'll do with fullcircle as the interviews aren't displayed in html form for it to pull | 18:33 |
| pleia2 | yeah | 18:36 |
| nhandler | Joeb454: I think I have the crontab setup on my desktop. It should run the script every hour (:00). Let me know if it doesn't work when you post the next interview | 18:37 |
| * nhandler is off to a loco event. evilnhandler is around to pick up hilights/msgs if you need me (it reacts to nhandler and evilnhandler) | 18:44 | |
| Joeb454 | zkriesse_: http://blog.joeb454.com/2010/11/an-interview-with-zkriesse/ | 19:46 |
| zkriesse_ | Joeb454: AWESOME | 19:48 |
| Joeb454 | :) | 19:49 |
| Joeb454 | zkriesse_: it should hit the planet sometime soon | 19:49 |
| zkriesse_ | Nice | 19:50 |
| zkriesse_ | Thanks | 19:50 |
| pleia2 | Joeb454: I'll be around most of the day (big housecleaning day, oh the joys), feel free to give me a nudge if/when it lands on ubuntu-news | 19:50 |
| zkriesse_ | Lovely comments | 19:50 |
| zkriesse_ | Gotta go | 19:50 |
| Joeb454 | pleia2: I want to see if it works with nhandler's script :) | 19:50 |
| pleia2 | oh ok :) | 19:51 |
| Joeb454 | pleia2: I'll start looking at going ubuntu-news directly from the next one :) | 19:51 |
| pleia2 | great | 19:51 |
| evilnhandler | Joeb454: looks like it worked :) | 21:05 |
