cjohnstonHappy fourth to all my friends in the states!01:00
paultagI wonder where I can find some crazy graphic artists. Like crazy good ones. Like nuts good ones, who's minds have been destroyed by LSD or similar.05:55
paultagI always wanted to see what a computer interface would look like if they sketched out some futuristic one. If it were cool enough, I'd totally implement it :)04:56

nhandlerdholbach: So do you think we can make sure the people attending UDW are clear about the current status of lernid?15:58
dholbachjono, ^16:01
dholbachwhatever is most simple and most usable is what I'm happy with16:02
dholbachand I'm happy to update the /JoiningIn page accordingly16:02
jonoafaik Lernid is considered to be not ready yet for UDW16:02
nhandlerThat is correct. We are working to get the status changed for later in the cycle though16:04
nigelbjcastro: I have a suggestion for you16:06
nigelbjcastro: We should have something like http://input.mozilla.org16:06
nigelbSimple and efficient feedback :)16:06
dholbachnhandler, jono: AFAIK the /JoiningIn page doesn't mention it right now16:06

AlanBellany etherpad changes required for -p?16:56
nigelbI'd like to make some changes16:57
nigelbAlanBell: Like show the link to the rewind page16:57
AlanBellyup16:58
nigelbAlanBell: If I find the time, I can give you code, if not... :)16:59
AlanBellthat is just a change in summit really17:03
AlanBellone thing I would like to happen is either ISD sort something out with audio17:04
AlanBellor we link each session to the recording made by the community17:04
nigelbAlanBell: *cough* jcastro could also help sort audio17:05
nigelbsummit has had an audio field for ages17:05
jcastrono clue17:05
AlanBellyes, that could do something17:05
jcastroI'm not on UDS stuff anymore17:05
jcastroI did put in a ticket to put the etherpad behind a login though17:05
jcastrofor spam purposes17:05
AlanBelldo they have a plan to do that?17:06
jcastroyeah17:06
=== salgado-lunch is now known as salgado
doctormoAlanBell: they?17:35
AlanBellhi doctormo17:42
doctormoHey AlanBell, how goes Ubuntu Oneric?17:42
AlanBellthey being the people jcastro submitted the ticket to17:42
AlanBellmy point being that authentication for etherpad is more of a "write code to do it" project than a "turn it on" activity17:43
AlanBelloneiric is going ok, just installed it to an SD card today17:43
AlanBellwanted to talk to you about loco world maps17:44
doctormoAlanBell: I can't remember if the SSO is FOSS, if not, it probably should be and at that point. they, becomes us.17:44
AlanBellhence my question do "they" have a plan17:44
AlanBellor is it something "they" would like "us" to sort out :)17:45
doctormoAlanBell: Them and Us! That's all it's ever about ;-)17:47
doctormoAlanBell: So, world maps, how can I help?17:47
AlanBellso I was messing with some maps I found on wikimedia commons17:48
AlanBellwith the ID set to the country code and some javascript to make slightly pretty stuff happen17:48
doctormosvg?17:48
AlanBellthen someone pointed out you had got some way already with awesomely pretty stuff17:48
AlanBellsvg, yes17:49
AlanBellhttp://libertus.co.uk:8000/europe/17:49
doctormoAlanBell: http://fav.me/d3l1y7017:51
AlanBellnice bump :)17:51
doctormoWrong link: http://divajutta.com/doctormo/locomap/map.svg17:52
AlanBellheh17:52
AlanBellyes, seen that, it is full of awesome17:53
AlanBellhow do we make that work?17:53
doctormoAlanBell: It's svg+ajax17:54
jcastrocjohnston: mhall119: around?17:54
doctormoAlanBell: And _a lot_ of inkscape editing. Basically cutting down the path sizes so the maps are small enough to be transported.17:55
doctormoAlanBell: And you saw this one right: http://divajutta.com/doctormo/locomap/usa/locomap-fill.svg17:55
AlanBellyes, saw that one too17:55
mhall119jcastro: for a few minutes17:56
mhall119jcastro: what's up?17:56
jcastromhall119: do I need flood insurance?17:56
mhall119depends on whether your residence is in a flood plain or not17:56
macooften if you're not on a flood plain, companies won't even sell it to you17:57
mhall119if you're within storm surge distance of the coast, you'll probably want it, most insurance that covers hurricane damage doesn't cover storm surge water damage17:57
maco(which is silly...you'd think they'd realise this means they get money for nuthin)17:57
mhall119jcastro: the property appraiser's office should tell you if you're in a flood plain or not17:58
mhall119jcastro: are you buying or renting?17:58
jcastrorenting17:58
doctormoAlanBell: So what's your plan? I'm interested as an expert in svg and general javascript/svg/css guy :-D17:58
mhall119jcastro: house or apartment?17:58
jcastroapartment17:59
mhall119ok, my wife says you should look at renter's insurance with a flood clause17:59
mhall119the complex owner will have the building itself insured17:59
jcastrono, they punted me to this lady17:59
jcastrowho is like blah blah17:59
AlanBelldoctormo: the plan is to make it happen18:00
jcastrobut I think I can skate off and make a decision later18:00
mhall119jcastro: or rent on the 2nd floor and not worry about it18:00
jcastrostairs, no thanks.18:00
jcastro:)18:00
AlanBelldoctormo: want to get as much as possible of the data coming from the database rather than in the svg18:00
mhall119it's usually less bad than upstairs neighbors18:00
doctormoAlanBell: What do you mean?18:00
doctormoYou wouldn't have svg files would you?18:01
jcastromhall119: does it flood in the summer?18:01
jcastrolike, do I care right now?18:01
AlanBellat the moment what I am doing is loading an unmodified SVG file from wikimedia and manipulating it using javascript18:01
mhall119flooding is fairly unusual in florida, on account of us being so flat18:01
doctormoAlanBell: As a comparison, you wouldn't say: "want as much possible data coming from the database rather than the html" (unless you meant static html)18:01
mhall119jcastro: along the coast, it's storm surge you need to worry about18:02
mhall119inland, it never floods more than a few feet18:02
doctormoAlanBell: So you need a better data source for your maps, and you probably should cache them server side, modify the svg and serve it back out.18:02
mhall119unless you live at the bottom of a dried out lake18:02
mhall119we had a developer build a neighborhood in a place called "hidden lake", which one year decided to be not so hidden18:03
AlanBelldoctormo: oh ok I hadn't thought of doing it like that but that would work18:03
doctormoAlanBell: ATM, your maps are too complex for a world view, but perhaps a simpler version like mine would be better for that.18:04
* AlanBell does some path simplification18:07
jcastrojono: I can go whenever you'd like18:07
jonojcastro, give me a few, wrapping up an email to the TB18:07
jcastrocool and the gang18:08
AlanBellless than half the size now18:08
AlanBelldoctormo: I was thinking of starting with the world map then have a separate map for each continent18:10
doctormoAlanBell: Load in place or new page?18:10
AlanBellhttp://libertus.co.uk:8000/ and click europe to go to /europe etc. so you only load one continent at a time18:10
AlanBellI was thinking new page, because I didn't know any better :)18:11
cjohnstonverdict is being read.. does this mean i dont have to watch this crap anymore?18:15
mhall119cjohnston: there's still appeals if the verdict is guilty18:18
mhall119and decades of future coverage if the verdict is innocent18:18
cjohnstonnot guilty, not guilty not guilty, guilty guilty guilty18:20
