| olly_ | if anyone lives in lower hutt, it looks like the council are trying to move their property info system to require silverlight, so you might want to send them some feedback | 03:28 |
|---|---|---|

| chilts | in which case, when Lower and Upper Hutt merge, that'll mean all of us | 04:12 |
| ibeardslee | chilts: so throw a wobbly about it ;) | 04:14 |
| chilts | yes! | 04:15 |
| ajmitch | it's surprising to see anything new being done in silverlight these days | 04:15 |
| chilts | crazy | 04:19 |
| chilts | what percentage of people do you guys reckon could actually see that? | 04:19 |
| chilts | looks like the whole site is in ASP or .NET or whatever it is called | 04:21 |
| chilts | olly_: ibeardslee: feedback sent! | 04:23 |
| chilts | I ended with "What plans do you have to enable non-Windows, non-Silverlight people to access this data?" | 04:23 |
| chilts | after saying that everybody should have access | 04:23 |
| * olly_ suspects the MS claim it's cross-platform - the "download silverlight" thing points you to a mono website URL which doesn't work | 04:35 | |
| olly_ | moonlight seems to have died at least 2 years ago | 04:35 |
| G | chilts: but the consultants tell them, the only two operating systems in the world are Windows and OS X :P | 04:52 |
| chilts | :( | 04:54 |
| G | olly_: I'm guessing the current system is Flash similar to Auckland's? | 04:54 |
| chilts | and they get megabucks for doing so too | 04:54 |
| chilts | does Silverlight work on Mac then? | 04:54 |
| G | must do, because you don't hear people complaining about no Netflix on OS X | 04:54 |
| G | and in fact, a previous colleague in America sent me a photo, of her Macbook playing content from Netflix, so I'll presume so | 04:55 |
| chilts | didn't realise Netflix was Silverlight either | 04:59 |
| chilts | man, crazy | 04:59 |
| G | yeah, thats why Netflix (and for that matter, Quickflix) and Linux don't play nice | 04:59 |
| G | they use 'something else' for the SmartTVs etc | 05:00 |
| G | iirc, there was talk about a stub Firefox plugin for mono, that then passes off Silverlight stuff to the Silverlight DLL running under Wine | 05:07 |
| G | https://launchpad.net/pipelight they say it works with Netflix, so might work with the GIS viewer | 05:08 |
| G | (and where I said, mono, I obviously meant Silverlight) | 05:09 |
| olly_ | G: no, currently it's just HTML and JS | 05:11 |
| olly_ | http://gis2.huttcity.govt.nz/PES/ | 05:12 |
| olly_ | looks like it's asp server side | 05:12 |
| * olly_ wonders if launchpad's green buttons are meant to look so ugly | 05:18 | |
