| czajkowski | so has my vote considering the amount I had to do | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| czajkowski | right sleep lark before the NYE celebrations tomorrow | 00:00 |
| JanC | depends on the local shop I suppose | 00:00 |
| JanC | (by "local shop" I mean "local web shop") | 00:06 |
| JanC | and really, I think it's more useful to give people the search results *they* want than to force "your selection" on them | 00:08 |
| AlanBell | JanC: yeah, but that depends on there being a web shop with a functional API and preferably affiliate scheme that can pay out in the currency and country of choice | 00:19 |
| AlanBell | I am quite keen to do more shops if I can find useful ones to do, probably mainstream shops rather than geeky shops | 00:20 |
| AlanBell | like supermarkets and hardware stores etc | 00:20 |
| JanC | AlanBell: as long as searching shops isn't enabled by default, and the selection of shops can be localised, that sounds like a good idea ☺ | 00:22 |
| JanC | well, a "shopping lens" would have installed shops enabled by default, of course | 00:23 |
| AlanBell | I like that the thing I did allows someone to shop on amazon.co.jp with descriptions and prices in yen and I can earn commission in GBP | 00:23 |
| AlanBell | anyone want to reddit http://www.theopensourcerer.com/2012/12/shopping-lens-for-gnome-shell/ or https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/564/amazon-shopping/ ? | 00:28 |
| JanC | having local shops available is really important | 00:31 |
| JanC | (that's also an important problem with U1MS BTW) | 00:39 |
| mhall119 | AlanBell: http://www.reddit.com/r/gnome/comments/15p7ie/new_amazon_shopping_search_provider_for_gnome/ | 01:27 |
| mhall119 | also http://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/15p7kb/new_amazon_shopping_search_provider_for_gnome/ | 01:28 |
| mhall119 | JoseeAntonioR: :) | 01:39 |
| jussi | AlanBell: are you theopensourcerer? | 03:42 |
| czajkowski | jussi: nope that would the theopensourcer :) | 09:45 |
| AlanBell | jussi: no, that is Alan Lord | 09:51 |
| AlanBell | but theopensourcerer.com is a blog that we both use | 09:51 |
| AlanBell | thanks mhall119, it found its way to slashdot too :) | 09:51 |
| Tm_T | alourie: I'm disappointed, the blog is still online, no proper slashdot effect ): | 10:58 |
| Tm_T | AlanBell: even ^ | 10:58 |
| * Tm_T gets more coffee before he fails more with tabfill | 10:58 | |
| AlanBell | only 1780 blog hits today so far :) | 11:06 |
| AlanBell | our biggest ever day was 4,707 hits which was another slashdotting | 11:08 |
| AlanBell | http://www.theopensourcerer.com/2009/07/getting-your-microsoft-tax-refunded-1010-for-amazon-uk/ | 11:08 |
| AlanBell | for that article | 11:08 |
| AlanBell | http://slashdot.org/story/09/07/23/1855211/Amazon-UK-Refunds-Windows-License-Fee-With-Little-Hassle but that was an Alan Lord article, this is one of my slashdottings :) | 11:10 |
| popey | slashdot isnt anywhere near as popular as it used to be | 11:16 |
| popey | probably get more traffic from reddit front page than /. | 11:16 |
| AlanBell | last time we got more hits from linuxtoday.com than slashdot (just about) | 11:22 |
| AlanBell | today there are 688 from slashdot and 151 from reddit | 11:23 |
| AlanBell | oh, actually 902 from slashdot | 11:23 |
| AlanBell | reddit is odd, just a link and comments, no actual article | 11:25 |
| popey | you'd get more from reddit if you hit the front page | 11:29 |
| popey | but they are fickle :) | 11:29 |
| AlanBell | how does that happen? lots of upvotes or something? | 11:58 |
| AlanBell | reddit is so slow | 11:59 |
| mhall119 | AlanBell: you're actually responding to /. comments? brave man | 16:38 |
| nigelb | mhall119: lol | 16:48 |
| IdleOne | quick scan shows a lot less flames than expected. | 16:50 |
| mhall119 | Yet still more than there should be | 16:52 |
| IdleOne | Without fire what would be the point | 16:52 |
| mhall119 | greed, didn't you read the comments? | 17:02 |
| AlanBell | mhall119: yes, I respond to comments in lots of places | 17:04 |
| IdleOne | greed is a powerful incentive but that lens was not designed with greed in mind I think. | 17:08 |
| IdleOne | had it been he would not have made it possible to change the affiliate code. | 17:09 |
| IdleOne | I could be wrong though. AlanBell does sometimes appear to be all about personal gain. | 17:10 |
| IdleOne | :P | 17:10 |
| AlanBell | looks like 2 people have bothered to change the affiliate code (and I made the epic fail of putting a typo in the default affiliate code which I have just fixed on the server side) | 17:12 |
| IdleOne | haha | 17:13 |
| MrChrisDruif | Evening y'all, enjoying New Years Eve? | 18:40 |
| MrChrisDruif | AlanBell; I heard there's an issue with Ubiquity? Do you know how seriously it's been picked up? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1084547 | 18:40 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 1084547 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "Unclear which part of disk will be allocated to Ubuntu when installing alongside other operating systems" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 18:40 |
| MrChrisDruif | And for images describing the problem more clearly: http://askubuntu.com/questions/150550/installing-ubuntu-with-windows-which-is-left-and-right-when-allocating-space | 18:41 |
| AlanBell | I was not very aware of that one MrChrisDruif, I don't know if xnox is on the case or not | 18:42 |
| MrChrisDruif | It's not been allocated to anyone, so I guess not AlanBell ? | 18:43 |
| AlanBell | probably not | 18:43 |
| MrChrisDruif | Could you mention it to him/her? It seems like a serious issue if you ask me =) | 18:44 |
| jcastro | I know it's a known issue for a while now | 18:45 |
| jcastro | not sure what the status is though | 18:45 |
| popey | \o/ see http://ubuntu.com/ ☺ | 18:46 |
| MrChrisDruif | 13.04 isn't that close right? What's it counting down to? O.o | 18:49 |
| daker | MrChrisDruif: new product www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/12/all-new-ubuntu-product-to-launch-jan-2nd-but-what-is-it | 18:49 |
| MrChrisDruif | jcastro; Apparently it's Importance is "Undecided" | 18:49 |
| jcastro | bring it up to the desktop list I think | 18:50 |
| MrChrisDruif | jcastro; mailing list you mean? | 18:51 |
| MrChrisDruif | daker; Thanks! =) | 18:51 |
| jcastro | yeah | 18:51 |
| jcastro | ubuntu-desktop | 18:51 |
| jcastro | or maybe the design list, but that one is kind of worthless | 18:52 |
| MrChrisDruif | jcastro; I know. Not very productive I've noticed. | 18:53 |
| jcastro | marcoceppi: popey: is omg down for you guys? | 19:06 |
| marcoceppi | jcastro: appears up from here | 19:07 |
| MrChrisDruif | jcastro; http://isup.me/omgubuntu.co.uk | 19:13 |
| IdleOne | does OMG not do any proof reading before hitting to POST button? | 19:17 |
| MrChrisDruif | IdleOne; I doubt it... | 19:24 |
| mhall119 | IdleOne: they probably don't do peer editing, and self-editing doesn't catch nearly as much | 20:13 |
| IdleOne | mhall119: apparently it doesn't it doesn't | 20:15 |
| IdleOne | ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) | 20:15 |
| mhall119 | that's the fanciest smiley I've ever seen IdleOne | 20:20 |
| IdleOne | I stole it from someone I don't remember who | 20:20 |
| mhall119 | you stole someone's face? | 20:26 |
| IdleOne | mhall119: just the face, not the whole head :) | 20:44 |
| philipballew | morning | 20:44 |
| IdleOne | morning | 20:44 |
| * philipballew goes back to making pancakes | 20:46 | |
| IdleOne | I'll take a short stack. | 20:46 |
| philipballew | Come on by IdleOne ! | 20:46 |
| philipballew | ring in the ny in California | 20:47 |
| mhall119 | philipballew: hey, can you do me a favor? | 21:25 |
| mhall119 | can you tell me what the current ubuntu.com countdown time says for you? | 21:25 |
| mhall119 | bkerensa: or you? | 21:25 |
| * philipballew looks | 21:25 | |
| mhall119 | someone on the west coast | 21:26 |
| philipballew | 36:35 | 21:26 |
| mhall119 | :( | 21:26 |
| mhall119 | popey: you around? | 21:26 |
| mhall119 | or AlanBell, anyone in the UK? | 21:27 |
| bkerensa | mhall119: 36:45:12 | 21:27 |
| mhall119 | dammit | 21:28 |
| JoseeAntonioR | mhall119: 39:32 for me | 21:28 |
| mhall119 | JoseeAntonioR: what timezone are you? | 21:29 |
| JoseeAntonioR | mhall119: UTC-5 | 21:29 |
| philipballew | http://imagebin.org/241256 | 21:29 |
| mhall119 | same as me then | 21:29 |
| mhall119 | I think the countdown is adjusting for localtime, which doesn't seem like what they want | 21:29 |
| JoseeAntonioR | it is | 21:30 |
| mhall119 | and even it it is adjusting, it's doing it wrong | 21:30 |
| mhall119 | since PST has less time than EST | 21:30 |
| mhall119 | not more | 21:30 |
| AlanBell | 44:28:42 | 21:32 |
| mhall119 | bugger | 21:32 |
| AlanBell | heh, yes that is backwards isn't it! | 21:32 |
| mhall119 | looks like they were expecting localtime, but got UTC | 21:33 |
| AlanBell | oops. So, they will fix it when they get back to work on Wednesday, when the timer runs out | 21:34 |
| mhall119 | :( | 21:34 |
| JoseeAntonioR | oops, great problem | 21:35 |
| mhall119 | timezones suck | 21:36 |
| JoseeAntonioR | mhall119: isn't there any way you can contact one of the sysadmins so they can fix it? | 21:36 |
| mhall119 | I don't know if a sysadmin could, or if someone from the web team would need to do it | 21:38 |
| JoseeAntonioR | the code says 18:00 GMT, maybe 18:00 UTC would work? | 21:41 |
| mhall119 | JoseeAntonioR: I think there's a problem in the code | 21:44 |
| JoseeAntonioR | there is | 21:47 |
| === jono is now known as Guest64529 | ||
| daker | 43 hours to go for me :) | 23:00 |
| philipballew | now I have to wait longer... | 23:01 |
| philipballew | sick of this. | 23:01 |
| philipballew | :) | 23:01 |
| AlanBell | oh, is it fixed? | 23:02 |
| philipballew | apparently. | 23:02 |
| * AlanBell sees a new line of code :) | 23:03 | |
| daker | d = new Date(d.getUTCFullYear(),d.getUTCMonth(),d.getUTCDate(),d.getUTCHours() + vh,d.getUTCMinutes() + vm); | 23:03 |
| daker | now it's UTC | 23:03 |
| AlanBell | thats the one | 23:05 |
| AlanBell | 42:55:40 | 23:05 |
| JoseeAntonioR | yes, fixed! | 23:13 |
| mhall119 | yup, got it sorted, thanks everyone for helping | 23:28 |
| popey | evening all | 23:32 |
| philipballew | almost ny in England I see popey | 23:33 |
| popey | yeah, not long now | 23:34 |
| popey | nearly my bed time ☺ | 23:34 |
| IdleOne | you know you're getting old when you're looking forward to midnight on new years eve so you can finally got to bed. | 23:42 |
| popey | feel free to go to bed before | 23:44 |
| * philipballew went to bed at 4:30 am last night and thinks it was a bad idea | 23:45 | |
| SergioMeneses | hey hey happy new year! | 23:50 |
| MrChrisDruif | Thanks y'all =) | 23:51 |
