[11:00]  * ebel wonders how to debug problems where his mouse pointer will just stop appearing on one monitor
[11:14] <tdr112> you could write some thing that outputs the x/y of where the mouse is
[11:27] <ebel> i want the mouse pointer to appear
[20:17] <airurando> ebel: you about?
[20:17] <ebel> yo
[20:18] <czajkowski> aloha
[20:18] <czajkowski> airurando: get your wiki done
[20:19] <airurando> ebel, now that the website is back I was wondering if we can effect the LoCo dir blog feed from within the website.
[20:20] <airurando> my rudimentary understanding of the aggregrator isn't sufficient.
[20:20] <airurando> there is something about categories but I have no idea
[20:21] <czajkowski> right so in theory a categroy for loconews should be created
[20:21] <czajkowski> so stuff about our geeknics would be displayed
[20:21] <airurando> czajkowski: I know I'll get to it aoon
[20:21] <czajkowski> but stuff on say me driving around ireland wouldnt be
[20:21] <airurando> *soon
[20:22] <airurando> yeah, I saw how categories could be generated but I have no idea how it works
[20:22] <airurando> category for LoCo news?
[20:23] <ebel> it's all about RSS Feeds
[20:23] <airurando> how do blogs from the planet feed LoCo tagged material into the aggregrator LoCo News category?
[20:23] <ebel> We could either just have one RSS feed from our website, or try to combine some rss feeds from various members blogs into one feed
[20:23] <airurando> how do we generate a RSS feed  for the category LoCo News
[20:24] <airurando> ebel
[20:24] <airurando> the aggregrator takes all the feeds supplied
[20:24] <airurando> those feeds are not LoCo specific
[20:25] <airurando> you explained to me how each blog can provide a specific LoCo related feed
[20:26] <airurando> I just can't see how these sunset feeds can be handled by the aggregrator
[20:26] <airurando> *subset
[20:27] <airurando> ebel if possible I like the idea of trying to combine some rss feeds from various members blogs into oneLoCo News  feed
[20:28] <airurando> each blog generate a LoCo category and supply the feed for that.
[20:34] <ebel> you'd need another aggregator
[20:35] <ebel> and you'd need everyone's blog to generate a separate rss feed per tag
[20:35] <ebel> I'd be suprised if a lot of blogs didn't have this functionality
[20:36] <ebel> e.g. here's the feed URL for czajkowski's "Ubuntu-ie" tag: http://www.lczajkowski.com/category/ubuntu/ubuntu-ie-ubuntu/feed/
[20:36] <ebel> So every blog author will pick their tag that's meaninglyful and we'd use that in the new aggregator
[20:37] <ebel> that'll then aggregate those feeds into 1 ubuntu-ie feed
[20:37] <airurando> Yeah, I get that part (I Think :))
[20:37] <airurando> I was just wondering whether or no we could do if from within the current drupal website
[20:38] <ebel> maybe
[20:38] <ebel> if you can create an extra aggregator, then maybe you can
[20:38] <ebel> ** if you can create an extra aggregator, then you can.
[20:38] <airurando> I just don't see how that can be done
[20:39] <airurando> any ideas for an external, open souce, security sensitive, reliable alternative?
[20:42] <ebel> not really...
[20:43] <airurando> ok
[20:43] <airurando> other alternatives
[20:43] <airurando> anyone with experience of yahoo pipes?
[20:44] <airurando> yahoo pipes ticks the reliable box.
[20:46] <ebel> no experience...
[20:47] <airurando> agenda item for the September meeting methinks.
