[00:06] <MrChrisDruif> Even more mentions of grand-designer AlanBell ? ;-)
[00:28] <tgm4883> AlanBell, MrChrisDruif thats cause you're at the point where those pages are getting the info off of other blogs, not the Ubuntu TV wiki
[00:30] <MrChrisDruif> Haha, I was just guessing, I haven
[00:30] <MrChrisDruif> 't looked at the articles
[08:53] <AlanBell> tgm4883: yes, I am just ammused by the spread of the story and translations etc
[08:53] <AlanBell> some of them are taking fresh screenshots as I changed the stand of the TV
[09:06] <mainerror> Morning.
[17:59] <manofbronze> Question: What's the current development state for ubuntutv?
[18:05] <ogra_> wow, he wasnt even here for a munite
[18:05] <ogra_> *minute
[22:30] <AlanBell> http://people.ubuntu.com/~mhall119/utv/index.html
[22:30] <AlanBell> I like it mhall119
[23:12] <mhall119> thanks
[23:13] <mhall119> I need to get the remote into the template
[23:13] <mhall119> AlanBell: did you see my dash mockup too?
[23:14] <AlanBell> very nice
[23:14] <AlanBell> double press, interesting!
[23:15] <mhall119> yeah, I'm thinking either double-press or press-and-hold actions will let us do more with fewer buttons
[23:15] <AlanBell> using regular sized icons looks about right on the 1/4 screen
[23:16] <mhall119> a TV is effectively a small-screen display, because of the distance you will typically be from it
[23:17] <mhall119> I'm thinking it'll probably need a modified GTK theme to increase padding and spacing, then default to a large font size
[23:17] <mhall119> no matter what we do, it won't be suitable for reading large amounts of text
[23:17] <mhall119> not even email, IMO
[23:18] <AlanBell> tweets probably
[23:18] <AlanBell> email subjects and notifications maybe
[23:18] <mhall119> yeah, that would work
[23:18] <mhall119> notify-osd should work fine on a TV
[23:20] <AlanBell> yeah, I think that could be an important part of it
[23:20] <AlanBell> integrated with your other computing stuff
[23:21] <mhall119> I was reading the ~ubuntu-tv ML archive earlier, there seems to be confustion about what ubuntu on a TV should be
[23:24] <mhall119> it's my understanding that the whole point of Unity was to provide a common interface across different kinds of devices, which is why my mockups look so much like desktop Unity
[23:24] <mhall119> is that what you were going with as well?
[23:29] <mhall119> AlanBell: what are you throughts on working with non-maximized windows?
[23:29] <mhall119> without a mouse or even a keyboard, it sounds like a pain
[23:41] <AlanBell> yeah, not sure we should
[23:41] <AlanBell> unless they are like the non-maximised unity lens/dash
