| charlie-tca | I am trying the crashes in dasher again today | 16:10 |
|---|---|---|
| maco | dasher confuses me | 16:11 |
| maco | i tried it once, and it doesnt seem to be all that accurate about heading toward the letter i'm on top of. also, i couldnt figure out how to get it to put the letters i was chasing into the text box that had focus | 16:11 |
| Pendulum | maco: you need to start it from command line with dasher -a direct to get it to do direct input | 16:12 |
| maco | Pendulum: i did | 16:12 |
| Pendulum | huh | 16:12 |
| charlie-tca | Iam trying to use it | 16:12 |
| maco | i thought maybe after ive finished the word there's something undocumented that i have to do to tell it to splat that out? | 16:13 |
| maco | also, omg the letters fly around so fast i cant chase them | 16:13 |
| charlie-tca | it is not crashing for me | 16:13 |
| maco | are they supposed to all be lined up? the way you described it before, Pendulum, i thought itd be like a tag cloud style thing of letters | 16:14 |
| charlie-tca | change the speed numbers to smaller numbers | 16:14 |
| charlie-tca | they wont line up like you think | 16:15 |
| charlie-tca | and I can not get the punctuation working right | 16:15 |
| Pendulum | charlie-tca: what's your problem with punctuation? | 16:16 |
| maco | i just chased down "All" and then there's a box, which i assume is space, but still, nothing's being put into where my text cursor is | 16:16 |
| charlie-tca | apostrophes don't print | 16:16 |
| maco | i tried clicking the letters to tell it "no really this one!" but that just seems to pause it | 16:16 |
| charlie-tca | instead of clicking, point at the next letter you want in the same colored box | 16:17 |
| maco | same coloured box? | 16:17 |
| maco | they appear to be nested coloured boxes | 16:17 |
| maco | ive tried both with clicking and with just chasing | 16:18 |
| Pendulum | maco: what're you trying to input in? | 16:18 |
| Pendulum | *into | 16:18 |
| charlie-tca | If you are in a blue box for "h", don't go outside the blue to find the next letter. It should be another colored box inside that blue box | 16:18 |
| maco | vi | 16:18 |
| maco | in a gtk based terminal, not a qt one | 16:18 |
| charlie-tca | Pendulum: apostrophes and returns in xchat are failing to show | 16:18 |
| charlie-tca | this has a high lerningcurve | 16:19 |
| Pendulum | Attmittedly, I'm still on Maverick, but was mostly work for me | 16:20 |
| Pendulum | (until it crashed, but I suspect if I upgraded my dasher that wouldn't be a problem) | 16:21 |
| maco | im on maverick too | 16:21 |
| Pendulum | *working | 16:21 |
| charlie-tca | italso takes a lot of reen for me to use it | 16:21 |
| maco | is it supposed to input the letters as i chase them? | 16:21 |
| maco | or when it gets to a space, or what? | 16:22 |
| Pendulum | yes | 16:22 |
| Pendulum | as you chase them | 16:22 |
| maco | im trying in gedit now | 16:22 |
| maco | oh hm. do i need to have at-spi registryd going? | 16:22 |
| Pendulum | < Pendulum> Attmittedly, I'm still on Maverick, but was mostly work for me | 16:22 |
| Pendulum | ^^ was written in Dasher | 16:22 |
| charlie-tca | i am on natty Xubuntu | 16:23 |
| maco | kvkbd doesnt need it, so i didnt think dasher would, but maybe on screen keyboards do? | 16:23 |
| maco | or rather, *some* on screen keyboard? | 16:23 |
| charlie-tca | I think you do need at-spi registryd, but can't remember | 16:23 |
| charlie-tca | Pendulum: the latest version of dasher does work better | 16:25 |
| Pendulum | charlie-tca: I assumed as much. I've just been distracted by life stuff so not upgraded anything at all recently really | 16:26 |
| charlie-tca | understandable. I worked some trying to reproduce the crashes, and even tried the version in git | 16:27 |
| charlie-tca | For me, dasher in natty has the least crashes | 16:27 |
| charlie-tca | Back to writeing minutes from the meeting | 16:32 |
| charlie-tca | Pendulum: help? I clicked something that made dasher full screen and had to kill it from a tty | 16:40 |
| charlie-tca | how do I make it not full screen? | 16:41 |
| charlie-tca | lol | 16:41 |
| charlie-tca | What a deal ;-) | 16:41 |
| Pendulum | that I have no idea on | 16:43 |
| Pendulum | I've never made it fullscreen | 16:43 |
| charlie-tca | don t | 16:43 |
| charlie-tca | It is not usable, since you can't see anything but dasher and can't change the app it is inputting to | 16:44 |
| Pendulum | yeah | 16:44 |
| jono | charlie-tca, Pendulum hey | 20:16 |
| jono | would you be interested in doing a Q+A about Accessibility? | 20:16 |
| jono | we have these Friday Q+A sessions | 20:16 |
| jono | would either of you like to do it/ | 20:16 |
| jono | ? | 20:16 |
| jono | it would be on a Friday at 9.30am Pac time | 20:16 |
| Pendulum | charlie-tca: be interested in co-doing it with me? | 20:17 |
| charlie-tca | sure | 20:17 |
| charlie-tca | What friday? | 20:17 |
| Pendulum | jono: what friday? | 20:17 |
| jono | Pendulum, 17th June | 20:17 |
| charlie-tca | Pendulum: good for me | 20:18 |
| jono | would you like to do it togehter? | 20:18 |
| Pendulum | jono: yeah, I think if we do it together, it's probably best | 20:18 |
| jono | perfect | 20:18 |
| jono | thanks! | 20:18 |
| * phillw asks what 09:30 Pac time is in UTC? | 20:31 | |
| Pendulum | phillw: 16:30 UTC | 20:31 |
| phillw | thanks :) | 20:32 |
| charlie-tca | huh? | 20:33 |
| charlie-tca | 15:30, isn't it? | 20:34 |
| charlie-tca | it's 19:35 UTC now | 20:34 |
| * phillw hmmm... can we decide? I'm terrible at TZ's :P | 20:43 | |
| Pendulum | 9:30 Pac time is 12:30 Eastern and 16:30 UTC | 20:44 |
| phillw | 17:30 BST = 16:30 UTC, as long as I know - I turned up an hour late for a classroom session - worst bit was, I was holding! | 20:49 |
| charlie-tca | try this one - http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html | 20:53 |
| maco | jono: there's a pattern to when these Q&As happen? id had teh impression it was "when jono says something in #ubuntu-community-team, followed by everyone else going 'huh?'" :P | 20:55 |
| jono | maco, no pattern | 20:56 |
| jono | well, there is a pattern, every week | 20:56 |
| jono | but no pattern in terms of topics | 20:56 |
| phillw | charlie-tca: I have it on my task-bar - the only way I can keep in sync with people! | 21:32 |
| charlie-tca | That's why I use orage world clock. I have 18 timezones on my desktop | 21:34 |
| charlie-tca | phillw: http://imagebin.org/156515 | 21:36 |
| charlie-tca | Takes 1/2 inch across the top of my screen | 21:36 |
| phillw | Pendulum: are you mad busy? | 21:39 |
| Pendulum | phillw: not mad busy at the moment, no, but I'm a little tired so my brain may not be fully working | 21:43 |
| phillw | I'll be gentle :) | 21:44 |
| phillw | charlie-tca: you have mail :) | 22:59 |
| charlie-tca | Thank you. will be happy to advise | 23:22 |
