| bluebomber | So the USF computer store denied our request to collaborate with them on their first annual tech fair. | 01:55 |
|---|---|---|
| bluebomber | We wanted to show up and give some educational information on libre software and, of course, pass out Ubuntu goodies. | 01:56 |
| mhall119 | bluebomber: the computer store *sells* commercial software at a profit | 02:32 |
| bluebomber | mhall119: Actually, they sell commercial software licenses </nitpick>. | 02:33 |
| bluebomber | X-D | 02:33 |
| bluebomber | Doesn't matter. I almost want to suggest they take a bunch of gratis Ubuntu CDs and sell them in the store, too. Something like $5 a CD, or whatever the amount. 100% profit. | 02:33 |
| bluebomber | :-/ | 02:33 |
| bluebomber | mhall119: Do you think it a good idea to participate, if we're allowed? | 03:21 |
| mhall119 | bluebomber: certainly, participation is always good | 11:28 |
| maxolasersquad | Is there any way to keep Empathy from losing spacing on retrieved IMs? | 14:39 |
| maxolasersquad | When people send me code, all of the indentation is lost, and it makes me sooo very sad. | 14:39 |
| mhall119 | probably not, IM isn't the ideal way of transferring code | 14:44 |
| zoopster | and empathy is quite pathetic..although it's getting better | 14:56 |
| dantalizing | telepathy still rules | 15:01 |
| dantalizing | zoopster: what did you mean about strobe not supporting ubuntu as a publishing platform? | 15:01 |
| dantalizing | oh ... er.. morning all | 15:01 |
| zoopster | dantalizing: try "publishing" your app to ubuntu...your only choice is ios or android | 15:02 |
| dantalizing | oh | 15:02 |
| dantalizing | well isnt that their whole model? | 15:02 |
| dantalizing | you can publish to "web" too... just their web | 15:02 |
| dantalizing | but to use any of the ajaxy features you need to go through their (warning vendor lock-in) proxy service | 15:03 |
| dantalizing | wonder if you could publish to strobes "web" and then take all your code and wrap it in Titanium (python) to make a desktop app | 15:06 |
| dantalizing | hmm | 15:06 |
| mhall119 | morning dantalizing | 15:08 |
| zoopster | yea, but that model is self defeating | 15:16 |
| zoopster | matt just sent me an email | 15:16 |
| zoopster | heh | 15:16 |
| dantalizing | lol | 15:17 |
| dantalizing | quit bashing us in public! | 15:17 |
| dantalizing | please | 15:17 |
| zoopster | and you could...do that...don't even need titanium do ya? | 15:17 |
| dantalizing | it would be all html | 15:18 |
| dantalizing | so however you would wrap that in desktop bindings | 15:18 |
| zoopster | I've seen a mockup of google calendar using pygtk | 15:37 |
| dantalizing | nice | 15:38 |
| maxolasersquad | mhall119: We often IM SQL queries, or small blocks of code back-and-forth. No reason to not use IM for such a task. | 15:38 |
| mhall119 | I can think of one reason | 15:39 |
| maxolasersquad | Security? | 15:39 |
| mhall119 | whitespace mangling | 15:39 |
| maxolasersquad | Yeah, but only empathy seems to mangle the whitespace. | 15:39 |
| maxolasersquad | Which is my problem. Pidgin, AIM, YIM, GTalk, do not mangle the whitespace. | 15:40 |
| zoopster | https://code.launchpad.net/~rick-rickspencer3/+junk/google_calender | 15:40 |
| mhall119 | well, then your choices are A) Use Pidgin or B) Patch Empathy | 15:40 |
| maxolasersquad | :( | 15:41 |
| zoopster | how funny... dantalizing the email from mjasay was a autoreply to the @strobe reply!!! | 15:50 |
| dantalizing | lol | 15:51 |
| dantalizing | sounds like we have a DOS vector! | 15:52 |
| zoopster | for sure | 15:52 |
| zoopster | ok well maybe not...it's from salesforce | 15:54 |
| dantalizing | yeah i'm missing that connection | 15:54 |
| dantalizing | alfresco->canonical->sproutcore ... no? | 15:55 |
| zoopster | twitter integration into SF...interesting | 15:55 |
| dantalizing | alfresco still rocks too | 15:55 |
| zoopster | that's his path, but yea...shows how the SaaS is more powerful than the on premise apps | 15:56 |
| dantalizing | +1 | 16:00 |
