| dholbach | oops :) | 16:00 |
| pleia2 | not sure how I feel about http://www.iheartubuntu.com/2012/11/netflix-on-ubuntu-is-here.html UWN-wise | 18:42 |
| pleia2 | (it's from a guy in my loco) | 18:42 |
| pleia2 | it's kind of a big deal, but it's still hackish mush | 18:43 |
| pleia2 | and since we don't even like including news about PPAs... | 18:43 |
| pleia2 | akgraner: any thoughts? | 18:43 |
| Unit193 | Technically, not a PPA yet. ;) | 18:44 |
| pleia2 | I didn't say it was | 18:44 |
| pleia2 | my comment was meant as "we don't include news about PPAs, let alone hackish mush that isn't even in a PPA yet" ;) | 18:45 |
| Unit193 | Well, it is bigger news to some people, but.... I'd rather see that in the official wine PPA. :P | 18:49 |
| Unit193 | This coming from a person that does not use Netflix, so doesn't matter. ;) | 18:50 |
| pleia2 | I didn't even know wine had official applicatoin PPAs | 18:50 |
| pleia2 | link? | 18:50 |
| Unit193 | http://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu | 18:51 |
| pleia2 | that looks like for just wine itself | 18:52 |
| Unit193 | That it is. The idea is you have to patch and recompile wine, I'd rather see the "patches" fixed in the bugs and released there is what I was saying. | 18:53 |
| pleia2 | ah, gotcha | 18:53 |
| Unit193 | (I use wine for other things as well.) | 18:53 |
| akgraner | pleia2, reading now | 19:17 |
| akgraner | pleia2, my personal thought is no to anything that isn't official and requires users to compile anything | 19:20 |
| pleia2 | ok, thanks Unit193 and akgraner :) | 19:20 |
| akgraner | what if we as the official news source is seen as endorsing it and it bricks someone's system | 19:21 |
| * pleia2 nods | 19:21 | |
| * Unit193 detaches for a few days. | 19:25 | |
| pleia2 | what, everyone leaving me this weekend :) | 19:26 |
| pleia2 | Jasna is off for the weekend from doing summary writing, I don't know what I'll do without her! (but I suspect what I'll be doing is more summary writin than usual ;)) | 19:26 |
| Unit193 | I can't do linkchecking for you either. :P | 19:32 |
| Unit193 | (Though, I don't think I really helped on this Netflix matter. :P ) | 19:32 |
| akgraner | pleia2, I'll be around | 19:42 |
| pleia2 | \o/ | 19:42 |
| SilverLion | Evening everyone *sad face* | 19:43 |
| akgraner | so it will be late Saturday but I'll jump in and write Saturday night so don't feel like you need to do them all - I can do the stats for you on Sunday as well | 19:43 |
| SilverLion | How is every one? | 19:45 |
| SilverLion | Nce nobody talks 2 me | 19:49 |
| pleia2 | akgraner: thanks :) | 19:49 |
| pleia2 | SilverLion: good evening | 19:49 |
| pleia2 | (I'm at work, can't reply immediately) | 19:49 |
| akgraner | Hi SilverLion - but I can't chat either at the moment just want pleia2 to know she wasn't all alone this weekend | 19:50 |
| SilverLion | Pleia just dont take me serious... Its pure frustration talking out of me | 19:51 |
| SilverLion | Akgraner: seems like I am not suitable forvany project | 19:52 |
| SilverLion | Had to quit another one 2day | 19:53 |
| pleia2 | philipballew: I'm a bit busy at work right now, but can you ask fridge stuff in here so other fridge admins can see (and possibly help) | 20:31 |
| philipballew | yeah pleia2! work away! | 20:32 |
| philipballew | so I logged into the fridge wp site with my openid from lp and am ready to help with the fridge. What is needed for me to get started? | 20:33 |
| pleia2 | philipballew: unfortunately the LP accounts won't allow you to use the scripts we have | 20:38 |
| pleia2 | can you sign up with a regular password-based account? | 20:38 |
| pleia2 | (that's why I asked for you to send me your username) | 20:38 |
| philipballew | yeah, I have a wordpress account I can use. I can do this later with someone pleia2 if your the only person. So you can work. | 20:39 |
| pleia2 | we can associate your launchpad id later | 20:39 |
| pleia2 | it's not a wordpress.com account, you need to create an account on this site at the URL I gave you | 20:39 |
| philipballew | alright, ill do that now | 20:39 |
| pleia2 | I'll remove the launchpad one so you don't get errors about conflicts | 20:40 |
| philipballew | alright then | 20:40 |
| philipballew | no hurry since your working | 20:40 |
| nhandler | I can help for a little bit pleia2 and philipballew | 20:40 |
| nhandler | philipballew: Once pleia2 deletes the account, you will need to register on http://fridge.ubuntu.com/wp-login.php?action=register | 20:41 |
| pleia2 | nhandler: cool, can you get him set up with a Contributor account and get his lp id associated with his password account? (needs password account for your scripts :)) | 20:41 |
| nhandler | pleia2: Yep, no problem | 20:41 |
| * pleia2 back2work | 20:41 | |
| pleia2 | thank you! | 20:41 |
| nhandler | pleia2: I also don't see the need to publish that netflix thing at this point | 20:41 |
| nhandler | no problem | 20:41 |
| nhandler | philipballew: Poke me once you have created an account | 20:42 |
| philipballew | so do I just make a user name up and it sets me up nhandler ? | 20:42 |
| nhandler | philipballew: We'll need to adjust a few settings, but yeah, you can use any username | 20:43 |
| nhandler | (Ideally, something similar or the same as your LP/IRC name) | 20:43 |
| philipballew | nhandler, done | 20:44 |
| nhandler | philipballew: Alright, try going to http://fridge.ubuntu.com/wp-admin/users.php?page=your_openids | 20:45 |
| philipballew | there nhandler | 20:45 |
| nhandler | philipballew: You can add something like https://launchpad.net/~philipballew to get openid working | 20:46 |
| philipballew | alright | 20:47 |
| philipballew | do I apply it? | 20:47 |
| nhandler | philipballew: Yep. You should also be able to access http://fridge.ubuntu.com/wp-admin/post-new.php . If I remember the permissions correctly, you will be able to draft up a post, but not actually publish it. You will need to get a fridge editor to do that for you (just poke us in here) | 20:47 |
| philipballew | done nhandler | 20:49 |
| nhandler | philipballew: Are you able to access http://fridge.ubuntu.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=5441&action=edit ? | 20:49 |
| philipballew | no :( | 20:50 |
| nhandler | philipballew: Ok. Then I would suggest examining some of the posts on the normal fridge blog (not /wp-admin) to get a feel for when we use which categories and how we handle the html (and citations). | 20:50 |
| philipballew | how much html should I know nhandler ? | 20:51 |
| nhandler | philipballew: Other than that, just try your best. We will help you as you go, and feel free to ask any questions you might have. | 20:51 |
| philipballew | ill play with it this weekend | 20:52 |
| nhandler | philipballew: You don't need to know any. We usually just copy/paste the HTML from wherever the article is coming from. But knowing the basics does help (i.e. we sometimes convert ascii bullet lists to actual html bullet lists) | 20:52 |
| nhandler | philipballew: If you want to experiment, pick a random ML email or blog post and try and create a fridge post for it (bonus points if the post/email you pick is actually meant to go on the fridge). We can then help you review and revise it | 20:53 |
| philipballew | nhandler, alright. sounds good then | 20:55 |
| Silverlion_ | akgraner: ping (i know u are busy but could you spare a few mins for a little call of mine? | 21:40 |
