[01:55] <bluebomber> So the USF computer store denied our request to collaborate with them on their first annual tech fair.
[01:56] <bluebomber> We wanted to show up and give some educational information on libre software and, of course, pass out Ubuntu goodies.
[02:32] <mhall119> bluebomber: the computer store *sells* commercial software at a profit
[02:33] <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> :-/
[03:21] <bluebomber> mhall119: Do you think it a good idea to participate, if we're allowed?
[11:28] <mhall119> bluebomber: certainly, participation is always good
[14:39] <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.
[14:44] <mhall119> probably not, IM isn't the ideal way of transferring code
[14:56] <zoopster> and empathy is quite pathetic..although it's getting better
[15:01] <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
[15:02] <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
[15:03] <dantalizing> but to use any of the ajaxy features you need to go through their (warning vendor lock-in) proxy service
[15:06] <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
[15:08] <mhall119> morning dantalizing 
[15:16] <zoopster> yea, but that model is self defeating
[15:16] <zoopster> matt just sent me an email
[15:16] <zoopster> heh
[15:17] <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?
[15:18] <dantalizing> it would be all html
[15:18] <dantalizing> so however you would wrap that in desktop bindings
[15:37] <zoopster> I've seen a mockup of google calendar using pygtk
[15:38] <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.
[15:39] <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.
[15:40] <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
[15:41] <maxolasersquad> :(
[15:50] <zoopster> how funny... dantalizing the email from mjasay was a autoreply to the @strobe reply!!!
[15:51] <dantalizing> lol
[15:52] <dantalizing> sounds like we have a DOS vector!
[15:52] <zoopster> for sure
[15:54] <zoopster> ok well maybe not...it's from salesforce
[15:54] <dantalizing> yeah i'm missing that connection
[15:55] <dantalizing> alfresco->canonical->sproutcore ... no?
[15:55] <zoopster> twitter integration into SF...interesting
[15:55] <dantalizing> alfresco still rocks too
[15:56] <zoopster> that's his path, but yea...shows how the SaaS is more powerful than the on premise apps
[16:00] <dantalizing> +1
