=== gpc is now known as IdleOne [16:10] I am trying the crashes in dasher again today [16:11] dasher confuses me [16:11] 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 [16:12] maco: you need to start it from command line with dasher -a direct to get it to do direct input [16:12] Pendulum: i did [16:12] huh [16:12] Iam trying to use it [16:13] 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] also, omg the letters fly around so fast i cant chase them [16:13] it is not crashing for me [16:14] 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] change the speed numbers to smaller numbers [16:15] they wont line up like you think [16:15] and I can not get the punctuation working right [16:16] charlie-tca: what's your problem with punctuation? [16:16] 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] apostrophes don't print [16:16] i tried clicking the letters to tell it "no really this one!" but that just seems to pause it [16:17] instead of clicking, point at the next letter you want in the same colored box [16:17] same coloured box? [16:17] they appear to be nested coloured boxes [16:18] ive tried both with clicking and with just chasing [16:18] maco: what're you trying to input in? [16:18] *into [16:18] 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] vi [16:18] in a gtk based terminal, not a qt one [16:18] Pendulum: apostrophes and returns in xchat are failing to show [16:19] this has a high lerningcurve [16:20] Attmittedly, I'm still on Maverick, but was mostly work for me [16:21] (until it crashed, but I suspect if I upgraded my dasher that wouldn't be a problem) [16:21] im on maverick too [16:21] *working [16:21] italso takes a lot of reen for me to use it [16:21] is it supposed to input the letters as i chase them? [16:22] or when it gets to a space, or what? [16:22] yes [16:22] as you chase them [16:22] im trying in gedit now [16:22] oh hm. do i need to have at-spi registryd going? [16:22] < Pendulum> Attmittedly, I'm still on Maverick, but was mostly work for me [16:22] ^^ was written in Dasher [16:23] i am on natty Xubuntu [16:23] kvkbd doesnt need it, so i didnt think dasher would, but maybe on screen keyboards do? [16:23] or rather, *some* on screen keyboard? [16:23] I think you do need at-spi registryd, but can't remember [16:25] Pendulum: the latest version of dasher does work better [16:26] charlie-tca: I assumed as much. I've just been distracted by life stuff so not upgraded anything at all recently really [16:27] understandable. I worked some trying to reproduce the crashes, and even tried the version in git [16:27] For me, dasher in natty has the least crashes [16:32] Back to writeing minutes from the meeting [16:40] Pendulum: help? I clicked something that made dasher full screen and had to kill it from a tty [16:41] how do I make it not full screen? [16:41] lol [16:41] What a deal ;-) [16:43] that I have no idea on [16:43] I've never made it fullscreen [16:43] don t [16:44] It is not usable, since you can't see anything but dasher and can't change the app it is inputting to [16:44] yeah [20:16] charlie-tca, Pendulum hey [20:16] would you be interested in doing a Q+A about Accessibility? [20:16] we have these Friday Q+A sessions [20:16] would either of you like to do it/ [20:16] ? [20:16] it would be on a Friday at 9.30am Pac time [20:17] charlie-tca: be interested in co-doing it with me? [20:17] sure [20:17] What friday? [20:17] jono: what friday? [20:17] Pendulum, 17th June [20:18] Pendulum: good for me [20:18] would you like to do it togehter? [20:18] jono: yeah, I think if we do it together, it's probably best [20:18] perfect [20:18] thanks! [20:31] * phillw asks what 09:30 Pac time is in UTC? [20:31] phillw: 16:30 UTC [20:32] thanks :) [20:33] huh? [20:34] 15:30, isn't it? [20:34] it's 19:35 UTC now [20:43] * phillw hmmm... can we decide? I'm terrible at TZ's :P [20:44] 9:30 Pac time is 12:30 Eastern and 16:30 UTC [20:49] 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! [20:53] try this one - http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html [20:55] 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 [20:56] maco, no pattern [20:56] well, there is a pattern, every week [20:56] but no pattern in terms of topics [21:32] charlie-tca: I have it on my task-bar - the only way I can keep in sync with people! [21:34] That's why I use orage world clock. I have 18 timezones on my desktop [21:36] phillw: http://imagebin.org/156515 [21:36] Takes 1/2 inch across the top of my screen [21:39] Pendulum: are you mad busy? [21:43] phillw: not mad busy at the moment, no, but I'm a little tired so my brain may not be fully working [21:44] I'll be gentle :) [22:59] charlie-tca: you have mail :) [23:22] Thank you. will be happy to advise
