dpm:)09:34
s-foxHello :-)11:02
balloonsmorning s-foz11:04
s-foxHello balloons11:05
s-foxHow are you doing?11:05
balloonspretty well.. hanging out with dpm, dholbach, jcastro this week has been alot of fun11:05
balloonsit's exciting to see how the precise release is shaping up and to see all the community member involved -- this release really is going to be awesome; you can feel it11:07
AlanBellit is good, but precise broke my USB dongle :(11:12
AlanBellI did an update and the wifi driver stopped working for the USB wifi dongle, so I moved the desktop over to where a wire could reach and tilted it up to plug the network cable in the back, and as the USB wifi dongle was still sticking out of the front it snapped in two11:13
balloonsAlanBell, ouch! sorry to hear that11:15
AlanBellis the unity testing launcher icon thing yours?11:16
balloonsAlanBell, no didrocks and some other folks did alot of great work on the tool. I'm very happy to see the commitment to quality this release11:17
AlanBellwould be nice to get an orca section in there11:19
AlanBellI am thinking of knocking together an IRC <-> Ubuntu desktop gateway11:20
popeyAlanBell: i have a spare wifi dongle if you need it11:20
AlanBellso I would run a desktop, with orca, and in the background have a python IRC bot that logs on to IRC and speaks everything coming out of speech dispatcher, and listens for commands and sends keys to the desktop11:21
AlanBellpopey: thanks, would be interested (no massive urgency though)11:22
popeyi wont be home till tuesday, if you want to pop over before I can pre-warn clare to dig one out11:23
* AlanBell suggests a beer related meet up some time after tuesday11:24
popeyyay11:25
balloonsAlanBell, you mean some orca tests in the unity testing tool or ?11:28
AlanBellballoons: yes, a section that starts with launching orca, and then navigating around unity using the keyboard (orca users tend not to have much use for a mouse)11:29
AlanBelltesting for stuff like multiple languages, and it saying stuff that makes sense (like indicator menus actually have a name and are not all called "image" for instance)11:30
balloonsyes, I'm not sure to what extent checkbox supports multiple languages.. it would be great to have11:33
AlanBellone of the first questions is asking if the user sees translated strings11:37

mhall119morning14:04
balloonsmorning mhall11914:06
mhall119hey  balloons, have a good week?14:06
balloonsyes, I did.. very much so14:07
nigelbHeh, I saw a tablet with intel processor the other day. It had a *fan*!14:07
nigelbNow I realize how much more awesome ARM is :)14:07
Pendulumnigelb: too you this long? :)14:08
Pendulum*took14:08
nigelbWell, I wasn't aware how bad the competition was.14:08
mhall119yeah, it's not pretty14:09
nigelbOn the OS front though, things should be interesting with the competition.14:09
nigelbWindows on a tablet was actually pretty good.14:09
nigelbAnd they have enterprise offerings for phones and tablets.14:09
mhall119yeah, it'll be the apps that make the difference14:09
nigelbAnd the freedom to customize.14:10
nigelbWindows tablets have a bunch of usability limitations.14:10
mhall119so do windows desktops, but they still own the market14:10
nigelbWell. I mean. You can only swipe left to right.14:11
mhall119wha?14:11
nigelbYeah :)14:11
nigelbRight to left is a different gesture and apparently its not cutomizable.14:11
nigelbBottom to up is right click gesture14:11
mhall119.......14:12
mhall119that sounds awful14:12
nigelbYeah, I was wtf too :)14:12
nigelbIts a "Metro" thing apparently.14:12
nigelbIts still not alpha. Maybe there's enough time for them to see the light.14:12
nigelbmhall119: It is awful in a way. But overall, I think its learnable.14:13
nigelbBut, a big win, is that apps are going to html + css + js.14:14
mhall119in windows?14:14
nigelbNo silverlight, no flash, no c#, no dot net.14:14
nigelbYep. Metro UI appps will also be html css and js.14:14
nigelbs/also/all14:14
nigelbThat's a big win for attracting developers.14:15
mhall119but then won't their source be visible?14:15
nigelbDunno.14:15
nigelbActually, I never thought to ask.14:15
mhall119I can't imagine proprietary app developers allowing that14:16
mhall119jcastro: ping14:23
