tgm4883cob-olp, further, wherever you saw it surely has descriptions and screenshots12:42
tgm4883actually i'm unsure if the weekly updates links to an info page12:43
tgm4883it didn't, but now the LP page links to the myapps page12:44

smartboyhwOh, I'm too young to be employed14:18
bobweaverlook at it like this14:18
bobweavereveryone keeps telling me stop writing in QML and QT code because it is not going to matter in the long run14:19
bobweaverbut ...14:19
bobweaverthe more I make and the more videos that I make the more attention ubuntu tv gets14:19
jhodappsmartboyhw, I asked Martin if he could think of anything...at this time there isn't much to help out on but...leading up to UDS at the end of October and defining the features for 13.04, there will be many things. So please stick around and joining in the conversation (or come to UDS if you can).14:19
bobweaverthe more attention that UBuntu tv gets maybe the faster unity push will happen :)14:19
bobweaversee it is a win win14:20

jhodappbobweaver, you applied for sponsorship, right?14:20
bobweaverjhodapp,  will cooke did for me14:21
bobweaverbut it is more about $ passports and planning14:21
bobweaverright14:21
jhodappnice, I'm not sure when Canonical decides who gets sponsorship, but I imagine it'd be soon14:21
smartboyhwAnyone participating in the dev week this week?14:21
jhodappbobweaver, go ahead and get your passport now if you don't have one, it costs more if you have to rush order it14:22

bobweaverjust adding vala snipets here and there that is what I see14:27
bobweaverI am going to raise hell over on #ubuntu-unity and see if I can get anywhere with learning how a --force-tv would work14:28
smartboyhwbobweaver: Don't raise HELL:)14:28

smartboyhwbobweaver: Bye for now, sleep!16:13
bobweaverlol the harddrive that is in this thing is from a old tivo16:17
bobweaverI think that little fucker marked it as spam16:19
tgm4883!language16:19
tgm4883!slap popey16:19
ogra_undeserved !16:22
bobweaversorry tgm4883  did not know that you where that sensitive16:23
bobweaverI will watch it16:23
tgm4883bobweaver, I'm not16:23
tgm4883but it violates the CoC16:23
bobweaverOh16:23
tgm4883and if I have to follow the CoC in this channel, so does everyone else ;)16:23
bobweaverthe thing that gets re-wrote daily16:23
bobweaverj/k16:24
tgm4883possibly, but that is one of the points that usually stays16:24
bobweaverdude I just found a syswtem 76 for 150 online16:24
bobweavercragslist16:24
bobweaveralso this http://rochester.craigslist.org/sys/3184638912.html16:24
bobweaverwish I would have waited16:24
tgm4883heh, that is the exact card I just took out of my backend16:25
bobweaverSorry he droped the price to 120 Oo16:25
bobweaverSystem 76 Starling Linux netbook - $12016:25
bobweaverI better buy that16:25
bobweavertry for the trade first16:25
bobweaverUbuntnu tv for it16:26
bobweaverpassport or system 76 computer16:26
bobweaverpassport or system 76 computer16:26
bobweaverumm.....16:26
bobweaverthis is hard16:26
tgm4883bobweaver, do you have a laptop?16:28
bobweaveryeah I just bought it16:28
tgm4883bobweaver, have you used a netbook for an extended period of time?16:29
bobweaverbut it is not a system 7616:29
bobweaverthat is all I use besides the TV that is16:29
bobweaverI think that that is right16:29
tgm4883I'd probably stick with a laptop then16:29
bobweaverwhy do you say that ?16:29
bobweaverjust wondering ?16:29
bobweaversee here is the thing16:30
bobweaverI do not think that I am going to be accepted for sponsorship16:30
tgm4883well, my situation probably differs from most other people. I've recently removed my desktop system (removed monitor/keyboard/mouse), leaving me only a netbook and tablet16:30
tgm4883the netbook isn't much fun to develop on, I think i'll have to plug a keyboard/mouse/monitor into it to do anything descent16:31
tgm4883keyboard is just too small16:31
tgm4883plus i've got the tablet for anything I'd usually use the netbook for anyway16:31
tgm4883bobweaver, regarding UDS, IDK when the signup ends ( mhall119 might know), but I don't think you'd be able to get a passport in time if you applied for the passport after being accepted to UDS16:32
tgm4883so it's a bit of a gamble16:32
tgm4883IIRC, takes 4-6 weeks for a passport?16:32
mhall119the time for applying for sponsorship ended on Monday, the engineering managers are voting on people now16:33
tgm4883ah16:33
tgm4883mhall119, so it's too late for me to send a bottle of bubbley to all the engineering managers?16:33
mhall119but tgm4883 is right, you should have your passport ready, don't wait on getting confirmation or you likely won't have enough time16:33
mhall119tgm4883: no, they are still voting.16:33
mhall119tgm4883: you'll want to next-day it though16:33
tgm4883I should have put that on my application16:34
tgm4883"will buy beer for all engineering managers at UDS if accepted"16:34

bobweaverphone16:34
bobweaverthanks mhall11916:52
bobweaverthe only thing is is that I am super poor lol if I am to spend that money on passport and then not get in .....16:53
bobweaverI mean I guess I will have a passport16:53
bobweaverthough16:53
bobweaverer spelling hard situation16:54
mhall119yeah, unfortuately a password is a pre-requisite, and they can sometimes take a long time to gt17:08
mhall119get17:08
mhall119the more time you have, though, the cheaper it is.  They charge more if you need it processed in a hurry17:08
bobweaverWow the servers went fast I got like 10 or 15 emails for them in like 10 or 15 minutes time17:58

bobweaverSo many options to weigh I am confused and my dev/null is about to explode !19:27
bobweaver:)19:27
bobweavermhall119,  again thanks for the heads up. I have not heard back from the system 76 guy but I put a G away for my passport and travel (incase) I mihg tbe able to get overnight20:04
bobweavers| mihg tbe| might be20:05
bobweaverIf I can buy that will drop my savings to 88020:06
mhall119IIRC, my passport was < $10020:10
mhall119and if you get sponsored, Canonical will pay for your flight and hotel stay20:10
mhall119you'll need to pay out-of-pocket for meals (breakfast and lunch is provided on the days of UDS itself, and dinner to on some days), but you can file for reimbursement after the event20:12
mhall119you don't have to pay for provided meals, but you won't get reimbursed for meals that are provided, even if you choose to eat somewhere else20:12
tgm4883mhall119, you get per diem for dinner20:13
tgm4883or at least you used to20:14
tgm4883and.... now I've read your comment again20:14
tgm4883never mind me20:14
mhall119:)20:15
mhall119I usually assume lunch+dinner on the flight there, lunch+dinner on the flight back,and 2-3 dinners during the week20:16
mhall119though last UDS, I think dinner was provided all but one night20:17
tgm4883mhall119, in orlando it was because of the various events20:17
tgm4883pizza and stuff20:17
mhall119I was talking SF20:17
mhall119I drove home every night when it was in Orlando20:18
tgm4883yea I didn't go to Oakland20:18
tgm4883I didn't want to pack my 920:18
mhall119it wasn't that bad20:18
tgm4883I know, I actually had just switched jobs so it was bad timing20:18
mhall119though we did have SWAT outside the hotel the day I arrived, on account of the Occupy protests20:18
tgm4883nice20:19
jhodappmy passport was about $9020:25
tgm4883mine was $120 a few weeks ago20:25
tgm4883it was my first one20:25
jhodappmust have raised the price20:25
tgm4883also, I hate the post office now20:25
jhodappnow? I always have20:25
jhodapp:)20:25
tgm4883s/now/more/20:26
jhodappI usually get a smile when I go to FedEx/UPS, when I go to the post office I feel like I did something wrong the moment I set foot in the door20:26
mhall119tgm4883: did you pay for faster processing?20:32
mhall119IIRC, I had a $120 option to get it faster20:32
tgm4883mhall119, no, it's suppose to only take 4-6 weeks20:33
mhall119but I had enough time to go slow and cheap20:33
mhall119(relatively cheap anyway)20:33
tgm4883http://travel.state.gov/passport/fees/fees_837.html20:33
mhall119hmm, seems the did raise the price then20:33
