AlanBellmorning all08:30
bigcalmHi AlanBell08:30
bigcalmI have the choice of using XML RPC or SOAP to interface with PayPoint.net for credit card transactions. Which is the better tech or possibly easier to use with PHP?08:32
mungojerrydoes any pdf reader on ubuntu allow highlighting of sections of the pdf doc?08:32
MartijnVdSbigcalm: If you get WSDLs and XSDs, SOAP should be a breeze (though I don't know if PHP has libraries to cope with those correctly)08:33
MartijnVdSbigcalm: XML-RPC is easier on the XML libraries, and I know there's a good client for PHP08:33
directhexbigcalm, i like SOAP personally, due to WSDL. but i don't know if php is usable with WSDL08:34
directhexerm, what MartijnVdS said08:34
bigcalmMartijnVdS: good thing about PHP is that it has a lot of community driven libraries for most protocols08:35
bigcalmThanks guys :)08:35
AlanBellmungojerry: I don't think so, annotation support is rather limited (never once wanted to use it myself)08:36

AlanBellpresumeably you are installing something from a PPA and are not surprised to see this message08:44
MartijnVdSbigcalm: In Perl, I'd go for XML::Compile::SOAP (which has a WSDL module) :)08:44

mattti'm trying to modify the setup.py to include file.conf instead of file.conf.example10:19
matttbut whenever the package is built, it refuses to include that file10:20
matttit's like python's setuptools only wants file.conf.example10:20
matttbit vague, but any suggestions?  :P10:20
mattti guess i could handle the mv of file.conf.example in the postinst file, but that doesn't feel right10:22

AlanBellno trouble in that discussion yet (though I fully expect Ryan Guager to continue to probe the boundaries in that thread too)15:21
gordthe google doodle today is fun :)15:22
davmor2AlanBell: Yeah, yeah if that's the term you use down South ;)  What you might think about is simply asking the user to add an entry in seahorse for the app, ie add a password description: openCRM password: user=<opencrmlogin>,password=<opencrmpassword>  and at least see if you can hook into it from a lens15:24
AlanBellwell I know that seahorse==passwords and keys, but not everyone does15:26
AlanBellI just opened the thing and I have no clue how to add a password15:26
AlanBellah right, file-new. And how do I tell it what server to use?15:27
davmor2AlanBell: no server you use stored password15:28
AlanBellsure, but where do I specify the server?15:28
davmor2AlanBell: drop it in the login keyring15:28
davmor2AlanBell: you do description as the name of the app15:29
AlanBellthe server is going to be myserver.mycompany.co.uk or 192.168.3.2 or something like that15:29
AlanBellI know what software it will be running, but not where it is installed15:29
ali1234wat15:30
davmor2AlanBell: and then for the password do opencrm_login=abc,opencrm_password=xyz,server=serverip/address15:30
AlanBellok15:30
AlanBellin the description rather, you just shove it all in there in a random format15:32
AlanBellor do you actually mean to shove that stuff in the password field??15:34
AlanBellcan any application read any passwords from the gnome-keyring?15:35
davmor2in password description just needs to be a keyword for the keydb15:35
popeyAlanBell: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeKeyring/SecurityPhilosophy15:36
davmor2AlanBell: python can not sure how though15:36
AlanBellthat is a bit of a worry15:38
AlanBellso allowing a lens or something to store it's password in gnome-keyring means it can retreive all your passwords15:38
BigRedShuh?15:39
BigRedSsurely gnome-keyring knows which passwords are stored by what?15:40

daftykinsmay be interesting if you get any complex installation woes to troubleshoot then18:01
daftykinswere anyone to ask for help / get involved in any18:01
ali1234i'd always suspected that most ubuntu advocates just like advocating things and don't really have any understanding of the OS or the ideals behind it18:01
Aivarasdaftykins, I know debian and arch linux well :D18:01
Aivarasali1234, I'm not for ubuntu. I'm for linux, but ubuntu seems to be the most suitible for new users so...18:02
ali1234not really18:03
daftykinsAivaras: oic18:03
ali1234ubuntu is suitable for new users only if they bought hardware with it already installed18:03
ali1234after-market installs aren't really the focus any more, it's all about convincing OEMs to ship it at this point18:04
ali1234(and this is what i meant about not understanding the ideals - the ideals have changed quite a bit in the past couple of years)18:04
daftykinsis it ever going to happen given the widely understood approach Microsoft have to getting exclusivity though?18:05
Aivarasali1234, 1) the lot of users (easy to find help), 2) good hw support, 3) everything (+/-) is preinstalled18:05
ali1234if you need any of those things you are much better off buying a mac18:05
AivarasI don't need - new users does18:06
ali1234daftykins: microsoft is dead, it's a walking corpse, and it has been for a couple of years now18:06
Aivaraswalking?18:06
Aivarasno way :D18:06
ali1234everything has changed18:07
ali1234microsoft is no longer the company you have to beat. not it is google and apple18:07
Aivarascrawling - the best I can say about m$ :D18:07
ali1234this is the reason microsoft has made windows 8 into something crazy18:08
ali1234that last time they did that was with windows xp when they were severly lagging behind everyone else in internet support18:08
ali1234and we know how well that turned out: their product was highly insecure and it basically destroyed consumer confidence in PCs18:08
ali1234now people are afraid to go online in case they get a virus or someone steals their bank details18:09
ali1234the way you advocate ubuntu is the same way microsoft sold windows xp 10+ years ago18:10
ali1234you can get online straight away, it's secure, and you can get help easily. you don;t need to learn anything...18:10
davmor2bigcalm: you about still?18:11
AivarasWell, I have to kill myself now... I spoiled much children lifes then :(18:11
daftykinswhat's promoting this idea of easy help for Ubuntu?18:12
ali1234i don't know18:12
daftykinsif i had a problem i'd come on here, but i haven't had the best luck with that approach...18:13
dogmatic69how do I get the current build info?18:14
dogmatic69want to update a bug and say it seems to work with the latest updates18:14
ali1234basically every time you replace a compromised windows install with ubuntu you are lowering the average intelligence of ubuntu users, and therefore making the platform an easier target18:14
daftykinsthe bug works! \o/18:14
daftykinswait what? :>18:14
brobostigonch5, pub dig, my local, :) :(18:16
ali1234it's happening to apple right now as ex-windows xp users move to it rather than 718:17
ali1234or rather, they are moved to it by well meaning computer literate relatives18:18
daftykinsi've definitely felt i'm losing market potential not having more OS X exposure18:18
daftykinsstill think macs are a joke though XD18:18
Aivaras"still think macs are a joke though" you sir deserved a medal :D18:18

daftykinsmy phone still sounds a bit crap compared to this ancient player18:24
Aivarasali1234, Google about Digital analog Converter :)18:24
daftykinsand the 'phones are definitely not the weak link18:24
ali1234oh please, don't give me that audiophile rubbish18:24
ali1234the weak link is the file compression18:25
AivarasIts not rubbish. It is not about gold vs cooper cables with identical resistence.18:25
Aivarasali1234, of course if you are listening to 126 kbps mp3 rip.18:26

Aivarasmy internet connection is too slow even for ssh :(19:13
BigRedSevery time I've seen anyone ask about a problem with chef, the solution mooted tends to be 'puppet'19:13
BigRedSthat's mostly why we went with puppet at work19:13
jacobwwhat's your latency?19:13
MartijnVdSjacobw: /etc/ files are managed by puppet19:13

AivarasAlanBell, Are you want to know why would ever pay for it 1B USD?20:53

ali1234 /bubble20:55
ali1234it's not the same tech bubble as last time. this time it involves mobile phones20:56
AivarasAfter android got instagram, all the geeks in my twitter feed switched to it just because its new and... well new :D20:56
BigRedSAlanBell: that's basically it. I think it goes along with everybody being a photographer at the moment20:56
ali1234what is instagram?20:56
AlanBellI hadn't heard of it until it got bought20:56
ali1234all the "geeks" are on g+20:57
AlanBellI think I may have seen a few square pictures on twitter, but didn't attach much significance to it20:57
ali1234also i really hate when people use "geek" and "nerd" to describe themselves20:57
ali1234no true geek or nerd would self identify that way20:57
ali1234it's like how "hacker" is misused, except in reverse20:58
BigRedSAlanBell: then you're just not their target market and nor are the people whose photos you look at20:59
AivarasReal question is what is a geek...20:59
ali1234a geek is the horrible charactature you see on shows like the big bang theory20:59
