[09:47] <blahdeblah> Hi folks, can anyone suggest a Windows media player which supports DAAP?
[09:53] <nisshh> blahdeblah, i *think* vlc does
[09:54]  * nisshh checks
[09:55] <nisshh> blahdeblah, actually, no, i cant find it listed in the features
[09:56] <nisshh> blahdeblah, google says its frigging hard to use DAAP on windows, sorry :)
[09:56]  * blahdeblah googles
[09:57] <dns53> itunes?
[09:57] <blahdeblah> meh
[09:57] <dns53> (it is the itunes music sharing protocol)
[09:57] <dns53> i think vlc may support it
[09:57] <nisshh> dns53, VLC may, but i cant find it
[09:58]  * blahdeblah is a conscientious objector to iTunes
[09:58] <nisshh> dns53, how dare you mention itunes in here, go sit in the naughty corner! :)
[09:58] <nisshh> blahdeblah, heh, arent we all :)
[09:58]  * dns53 goes and gets a chair
[09:58] <nisshh> hehe
[10:00] <dns53> vlc supports upnp so you could use that instead of daap
[10:00] <blahdeblah> except then i'd have to turn on upnp
[10:01] <dns53> exaile is suppose to work on windows but i have not tried it
[10:02] <blahdeblah> looks like winamp does
[10:03] <nisshh> blahdeblah, upnp isnt that bad
[10:03] <nisshh> i had it turned on for 3 years before i finally realised i still had it on
[10:04] <dns53> upnp works good on a ps3 and some tv's
[10:05] <nisshh> yeah
[10:06] <dns53> are you guys coming to linux.conf.au ?
[10:09] <nisshh> dns53, im not, since im in WA and i am broke :)
[10:09] <dns53> you just need to get the next one held over there next year
[10:10] <nisshh> hehe
[10:10] <nisshh> easier said than done
[10:11] <nisshh> they havent held it over here since about 2003 ish
[10:11] <nisshh> Perth is considered remote and small by all you eastern states people
[10:11] <nisshh> :)
[10:14] <nisshh> dns53, ^^
[10:14] <blahdeblah> dns53: I went to my volunteer training this morning!  :-)
[10:14] <dns53> i'm in adelaide, it's about the same distance to go anywhere
[10:15] <nisshh> dns53, yeah, itll cost me $600 plus to go to brisbane from Perth, crazy
[10:43] <blahdeblah> FWIW, Winamp + DAAP plugin from SourceForge worked
[10:43] <blahdeblah> Ironically, i still had to install an Apple product (Bonjour Print Services) to get it working
[11:00] <jfer> hi all. a while back i recall talk of a bulk order for stickers. did this end up going ahead?
[11:21] <nisshh> jfer, yeah, that was ages ago :)
[11:24] <jfer> oh ok
[11:24] <jfer> i was wanting to get some for my new laptop that is all and postage isn't exactly cost effective
[11:28] <nisshh> yeah
[12:31] <blahdeblah> jfer: I was going to organise it before Christmas but never got around to it.
[12:32] <blahdeblah> There was plenty of interest, and it would be quite cost effective if everyone is still interested.
[12:32] <blahdeblah> I'll pull the finger out and get it organised this week.
[12:33] <jfer> oh ok
[12:33] <jfer> are you going to LCA
[12:33] <jfer> i will be
[12:34] <blahdeblah> Yep - i want to my volunteer training this morning
[12:34] <jfer> so this week might be ideal
[12:34] <blahdeblah> Yep
[12:34] <blahdeblah> Then i can give them out with 0 postage for everyone who is there.
[12:34] <jfer> at the open day?
[12:35] <blahdeblah> Or during the week - whichever suits
[12:35] <jfer> ok
[12:35] <blahdeblah> I'll be there every day
[12:35] <jfer> as will i
[12:35] <jfer> not sure about the open day yet though
[12:35] <jfer> perhaps posting something on the mailing list would be a good idea
[12:36] <blahdeblah> Yep - will do
[12:40] <sagaci> Hey
[12:44] <jfer> blahdeblah: what was the training for?
[12:44] <jfer> are you volunteering at LCA?
[12:44] <blahdeblah> volunteers
[12:44] <blahdeblah> ep
[12:44] <blahdeblah> Yep, even
[12:44] <blahdeblah> We just talked about how to introduce speakers, policies of LCA, and how to operate AV equipment
[12:45] <jfer> ok. sounds great.
[12:46] <jfer> what kind of stickers were you planning on ordering?
[12:47] <jfer> i wouldn't mind some of those 3d ones for the back of my laptop
[12:47] <blahdeblah> I'll work that out this week, too
[12:50] <jfer> ok thanks
[12:51] <jfer> just so you know. according to canonical shipping could take up to 2 weeks so getting an order in early this week would probably be a good idea
