[00:48] <bradm_> that latest post to the list sure looks like someone asking to have their homework done for them
[00:52] <dns__> sounds like it, we could link to the linux.conf.au presentations when they are published
[00:54] <sagaci> didn't come through the moderation line 
[00:55] <benonsoftware> I am a Ubuntu Member now :p
[00:55] <dns__> congratulations
[00:55] <benonsoftware> Thanks
[00:57] <sagaci> good work
[00:58] <benonsoftware> sagaci: Thanks :P
[05:40] <head_victim> bradm_: I actually thought that email came though on a different mailing list, did a double take when I saw it was the loco one (I'm used to requests like that on -users)
[05:41] <benonsoftware> head_victim: I got Ubuntu Membership this morning :P
[05:41] <head_victim> benonsoftware: congratulations
[05:41] <benonsoftware> :P
[05:42] <head_victim> You'll have to decide what cloak is is priority now :P
[05:42] <benonsoftware> Well I have (soon to be) 3 to choose from :P
[05:43] <head_victim> What's the 3rd one?
[05:43] <benonsoftware> I'm going to apply for a GRF-f for BM Designs
[05:44] <head_victim> I don't even know what that refers to sorry.
[05:44] <benonsoftware> Me and a friend have made a website design group :P
[05:45] <head_victim> Oh and you're going to try and make it a freenode project?
[05:45] <benonsoftware> Yeah
[05:45] <head_victim> Fair enough then
[05:45] <benonsoftware> :P
[06:07] <hot_wheelz> hi guys
[06:08] <benonsoftware> Hello hot_wheelz
[06:09] <hot_wheelz> what is linux dvb channel again i lost it?
[06:09] <hot_wheelz> benonsoftware hi
[06:10] <hot_wheelz> sorry dropped off a sec
[06:14] <hot_wheelz> anyone
[06:15] <benonsoftware> I'm not really sure
[06:15] <benonsoftware> Sorry
[06:15] <hot_wheelz> benonsoftware ok
[06:38] <hot_wheelz> back again guys
[06:38] <hot_wheelz> does anyone know much about http://www.ubuntu.com/tv
[06:41] <hot_wheelz> i'm guessing it could become like an officailly suppported mythtv distro right
[07:05] <head_victim> hot_wheelz: it's really only in idea stage at the moment from what I understand. I don't think there are any concrete plans to use any specific software to make it happen yet
[07:05] <sagaci> hot_wheelz: basically, canonical-backed
[07:19] <bradm_> there is actual code out there for the ubuntu-tv stuff
[07:21] <bradm> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuTV/Contributing
[07:22] <head_victim> Well there you go, looks a lot more detail than I saw a little while ago. I thought I read a few things, but apparently nothing with much content.
[07:38] <head_victim> benonsoftware: I know sagaci has set up his sftp on people.u.c recently so might be able to help wiht issues if he's around. I'd offer help but that's one of the things I've never actually used.
[07:49] <benonsoftware> head_victim: Thats ok :p
[07:53] <sagaci> you just need an ssh key on your lp account that's attached to the computer you're on
[07:53] <sagaci> and then just do $ sftp jpickett@people.ubuntu.com
[07:54] <benonsoftware> sagaci: I do that and then I cd to the public_html folder and theres nothing there
[07:54] <sagaci> that's where you put your stuff
[07:54] <benonsoftware> sagaci: Ah, sorry all of that folder I put stuff in, Thanks
[07:55] <sagaci> yep
[07:55] <benonsoftware> Thanks
[07:55] <head_victim> Team work :)
[07:56] <benonsoftware> head_victim: Did you say you are going to the q UDS?
[07:56] <head_victim> benonsoftware: nah, can't afford it
[07:56] <benonsoftware> I would love to go too but same as you :P
[08:00] <benonsoftware> Say if I have a sub folder test there how do I remove it, rm -r test doesn't work
[08:01] <sagaci> make sure the folder is empty and then rmdir
[08:02] <benonsoftware> I get Couldn't delete file: Failure
[08:03] <sagaci> works fine for me :/
[08:03] <benonsoftware> Lucky :/
[08:05] <head_victim> I don't have anything exciting to keep on mine :P
[08:05] <sagaci> as I said, just make sure the directory you're rmdir'ing is empty
[08:05] <sagaci> I'm keeping latest templates for translation there now
[08:06] <head_victim> Hah you're so far into it now it's great. I am ok with rosetta and a little bit of POEdit but buggered if I know how you're doing what you are now, so far above my head.
[08:06] <benonsoftware> Mines empty when I try to delete the folder
[08:07] <sagaci> head_victim: it's a bit tedious but at least all the strings are being corrected
[08:07] <sagaci> it should be flawless by april
[08:08] <sagaci> having said that, strings like Co&lor won't be picked up
[08:08] <sagaci> but they will be in the distant minority
[08:08] <head_victim> sagaci: I notice in the newsletters enAU is now topping translations, that in itself is awesome, you and jaddi really kicked it up a notch last cycle
[08:08] <head_victim> sagaci: yeah you'll probably only find them in testing.
[08:09] <sagaci> yep, I'm guestimating there might be ~500 strings that may need a tweak, but nothing that will confuse the user, since it's only en_AU
[08:09] <sagaci> I'll do a tute :)
[08:10] <head_victim> Yeah we need to move focus from string changes to error detection
[08:10] <head_victim> Not a bad problem to have mind you
[08:10] <sagaci> It may be time to enforce a two-pass policy
[08:11] <sagaci> but I don't think that is technically possible
[08:12] <head_victim> sagaci: yeah I think 2 pass would be worth considering, people still get karma for that.
[08:12] <sagaci> karma karma karma
[08:12] <benonsoftware> ;)
[08:13] <sagaci> I was hoping for a letter from sabdfl when I passed 100,000
[08:13] <sagaci> :S
[08:13] <sagaci> a generic letter, mind you
[08:13] <head_victim> Well you are second on the Ubuntu project in Launchpad afterall
[08:14] <benonsoftware> :P
[08:14] <sagaci> it's going to fall pretty steadily
[08:14] <head_victim> Martin Pitti is the only other contributor rated higher across all Ubuntu.
[08:14] <sagaci> Pitt*
[08:14]  * benonsoftware knows someone who is trying to contact the sabdfl
[08:14] <head_victim> It's not hard to contact the man, he's in public meetings :)
[08:15] <sagaci> with IRC bodyguards
[08:15] <benonsoftware> Yeah, his trying to contact him via phone
[08:15] <benonsoftware> I have been PMing the person all day :P
[08:15] <benonsoftware> No Answer
[08:15] <head_victim> You do realise it's just breaking morning in the UK right?
[08:16] <head_victim> So all day for us has been all night........
[08:16] <benonsoftware> Yeah, thats what I said too him :p
[08:16] <sagaci> 6:15am, should be
[08:16] <head_victim> sagaci: he also does a Q&A pretty much every cycle
[08:16] <benonsoftware> head_victim: Yeah, but at 1AM our time :P
[08:17] <sagaci> yeah, have never seemed to have attended any of the sessions
[08:17] <head_victim> I've sat in on a few.
[08:17] <sagaci> flicked through the logs after
[08:17] <benonsoftware> Same
[08:17] <head_victim> benonsoftware: you have to get used to timezones if you're going to be involved in anything international :)
[08:17] <benonsoftware> head_victim: They make my head spin :P
[08:17] <benonsoftware> Most people in TouchLay are +1 :(
[08:19] <head_victim> I'm quite used to them, my workplace operators 24/7 anway
[08:19] <sagaci> do you use UTC at work?
[08:20] <head_victim> Nah we always use local time, we deal with customers so it's always displayed in their time.
[08:20] <head_victim> So one call yuo're saying it's 4am the next you're saying it's 8am, etc.
[08:21] <benonsoftware> :P
[12:41] <sagaci> head_victim: uploading a tute on fixing en_AU strings to youtube now
