dholbachgood morning07:56
head_victimG'day dholbach07:56
mainerroro/07:56
dholbachhey head_victim, mainerror07:56
* head_victim is a little excited, the LoCo website is being updated07:57
dholbachnice :)07:57
* mainerror is also a bit excited because he has to create his LoCo's site.08:03
mainerror:D08:03
head_victimHah, win-win :D08:03
mainerrorI was talking about the Austrian LoCo site just in case you thought I was talking about yours. :)08:03
head_victimFunny, mine's the Australian LoCo ;)08:04
head_victimIt's a bit of coincidence all around08:04
mainerrorOh yea, that is the Austria with Kangaroos.08:04
mainerrorMine is the Australia with the Alps. Or the other way around ... who cares. :D08:05
dholbachhaha08:06
dholbachin Berlin there's an Austrian restaurant called "No kangaroo" in the area where I live :)08:06
mainerrorlol08:07
head_victimThis has the makings of a good joke "A German, an Austrian and an Australian walk into a restaurant".08:07
mainerrorWhat an awesome name. :D08:07
dholbachwhat I like most about it is they have ski lift seats for seats at the bar08:08
nigelbdholbach: That sounds amazing ;)08:10
nigelbhead_victim: lol08:10
nigelbMorning dholbach, mainerror08:10
nigelbEvening head_victim :)08:10
mainerrorHello nigelb :)08:11
head_victimubuntu.org.au  <--- let me know what you think :)08:24
head_victimIt's a canonical hosted website based, upgraded to drupal 6 with the UbuntuDrupal theme08:25
nigelbhead_victim: You need more margins on the sides.08:26
nigelbIts too close to the window borders.08:26
head_victimnigelb: thanks, I'm on a 24inch monitor so probably hiding that a little08:26
nigelbAlso, fluid layout WIN08:27
head_victimnigelb: I'm an absolute novice with this so all help gratefully accepted :)08:27
head_victimFluid layout?08:27
nigelbhead_victim: when I make the window smaller, your layout resizes appropriately. That's great!08:27
head_victimnigelb: oh, don't thank me, thank the UbuntuDrupal team and Canonical :) I'm just the lucky person who gets to tweak the finished product :D08:28
nigelbAlanBell or Pendulum can give you a little more accessibility tips. I'm a novice in that :-)08:28
head_victimI have no idea how to do anything but from within the drupal website admin page and even then most of it I struggle with08:28
mainerrorRight, the margin suggestion is good.08:29
nigelbI wish we could all move to Wordpress, so much more easier to manage than drupal.08:29
head_victimnigelb: Canonical host ours so for our team it's much easier to manage than hosting our own ;)08:30
head_victimAny suggestions on what the "accepted" minimum and maximum widths are?08:30
head_victimIt's currently fluid between 600 - 150008:31
mainerrornigelb: I don't know. It may be easier to manage but I don't find it that easy to theme.08:31
nigelbmainerror: Oh? I thought WP was easier to theme. I may be wrong.08:32
nigelbhead_victim: that's probably fine. However, in that case you're not going to look great on mobile.08:32
nigelb(yeah, the pains for web design)08:33
mainerrorI'm not a professional at either of them I'm just talking from my limited experience with both systems. :)08:33
head_victimnigelb: open to suggestions, should I drop the lower end to 400 or so?08:33
nigelbhead_victim: Nah. You need to do that with different stylesheets (10x more painful)08:34
head_victimAhh fair enough I'll probably just leave it as it is for now and see what comes from multiple people looking08:34
mainerrorWell you can make use of the @media query.08:34
czajkowskialoha08:41
head_victimczajkowski: ubuntu.org.au - Drupal 6 made it :)08:42
czajkowskiyay08:42
dholbachjcastro, I guess we won't have a team meeting today14:18
dholbachno jono, no dpm14:18
jcastroheh14:18
jcastrodholbach: just you, me, and master of puppets14:19
dholbachthat might actually almost be better than the mixtape I'm listening to14:20
* dholbach picks another one14:20
jcastrocan you get pandora over there?14:21
jcastroI'm almost all listening to that these days instead of the music I have14:22
dholbachI'm listening to stuff on mixcloud.com right now14:22
dholbach"Dear Pandora Visitor,14:23
dholbachWe are deeply, deeply sorry to say that due to licensing constraints, we can no longer allow access to Pandora for listeners located outside of the U.S. ...."14:23
jcastro:(14:25
mainerrorThank god someone very very smart invented the proxy. :D14:26
dholbachakgraner, when I asked around what kind of sessions would be nice to have at UDW, somebody suggested "Porting popular packages from x86 to ARM." - do you think we can find somebody from the Linaro heads to help out with that one? :)14:33
mainerrorThat would be a very interesting session!14:39

jcastrodholbach: do you listen to dubstep?16:09
dholbachjcastro, yes16:10
dholbachhttp://www.mixcloud.com/dlex/its-dubstep-who-cares/ for example is a nice one16:12
mainerrorDude, mixcloud is awesome!16:31
dholbachit is :)16:32
dholbachbut there's not many folks who timecode their mixes16:32
dholbachso you never know which song is playing16:32
dholbachI love it when you click on a song and it tells you which other mixes also have the same song, so you find possibly related good new stuff16:33
dholbachone resolution I have for next year is: get more stuff on mixcloud :)16:33
dholbachbut it should be easy to achieve - I just did 3 in half a year :)16:34
mainerrorWait, you make music?16:34
dholbachhttp://www.mixcloud.com/dholbach/16:34
dholbachalright my friends - I call it a day - see you all tomorrow - hugs!17:01

mhall119woot!  wrote my first Unity lens: http://ubuntuone.com/6enw5v14UdzTMFhvuABgye22:37
mhall119jcastro: ^^ check it out!22:37
MrChrisDruifmhall119; some kind of dictionary lens?22:42
mhall119MrChrisDruif: yup22:45
mhall119it uses online an dictionary for definition, plus local spellcheck for verification and suggestions22:45
mhall119an online dictionary, :P22:45
MrChrisDruif=)22:46
JanCMrChrisDruif: not sure where you live, but SWAT comes most of the time, so you might be able to do some carpooling22:47
* MrChrisDruif resides in Zoetermeer22:47
JanCMrChrisDruif: it's mostly a developer conference though, so be prepared for mostly technical content22:48
MrChrisDruifYeah, was seeing that too...so I'll probably pass =)22:48
JanCMrChrisDruif: I don't remember all that you do exactly  ;)22:49
MrChrisDruifWhat do you mean?22:50
MrChrisDruifOw, read wrong =)22:50
MrChrisDruifBut indeed, not very dev orientated22:50
JanCwell, you seem to study programming?22:51
MrChrisDruifUsed to..indeed =)22:52
JanCaw, gave up on it?22:52
JanCwhat are you studying now? (if anything?)22:53
MrChrisDruifWell, I had to. I didn't have enough points22:53
JanChm22:53
MrChrisDruifThe way the study went wasn't my flow...I have to do to learn...22:53

MrChrisDruifAnyhow...atm I'm not studying anything22:54
JanCso... looking for a job or working?22:54
MrChrisDruifI work 2 days a week on average (or I should, I work more then that) at a local gas-station22:55

MrChrisDruifThanks22:57
MrChrisDruifIt's with a local computer store...it'll be more up my ally22:57
AlanBellmhall119: how did you get the long comment? is that just \n in the comment field or something else?23:03
AlanBelland what is one supposed to do for things in a lens which don't have an obvious thumbnail?23:03
mhall119AlanBell: so there are different "renderers" you can use23:06
mhall119the first 2 sections use a vertical tiling renderer23:06
mhall119the bottom section uses a horizontal tiling renderer, that one includes the "comment" text of an entry as well (the vertical one doesn't)23:06
mhall119AlanBell: you can specify an icon name, and it'll look it up based on the theme23:07
mhall119for example, I'm using "file", "hint" and "accessories-dictionary" icons23:07
mhall119AlanBell: I'll do a more thorough writeup on my blog, plus a tutorial on the wiki in the coming days, I promise23:08
AlanBellI have a lens working already23:09
mhall119oh, well fine then :P23:12
mhall119I'm going to do all that stuff anyway23:12
AlanBell\n in the comment works :)23:12
mhall119AlanBell: what does yours do?23:16
mhall119and in what language?23:16
AlanBellin python23:16
AlanBellit is a business data lens23:16
AlanBelland I have a scope for openERP, it connects over XMLRPC and searches the customer database23:17
AlanBellI will get it searching invoices and deliveries and such23:17
AlanBelland I will add a vTiger scope too, so you can search multiple business systems for a customer name and get a combined view of stuff and click things to open the relevant document23:18
AlanBellit was based on the porn lens :)23:18
MrChrisDruifPorn....it's a good base for EVERYTHING! =D23:21
AlanBellnever actually installed the porn lens, just used it as a template to crib the structure from23:23
AlanBellit is in python and not very complicated23:24
JanCAlanBell: you might be able to provide a "less offensive" minimal example lens then...  ;)23:25
AlanBellthere probably is a better "hello world" lens out there23:27
AlanBellin fact mhall119's writeup will probably be one :)23:28
AlanBellI am a bit puzzled by the insistence that everything should have an icon in a lens though23:28
mhall119AlanBell: how are you handling auth credentials for that?23:36
AlanBellbadly :)23:36
AlanBellright now hard coded, I was going to pop up and ask for a password first time you use it23:36
AlanBellthen hold them in the scope for the duration of the scope23:37
AlanBellit can look up the default server and database and username from .openerprc all it needs is a password23:38
