theblazehenhttp://pastebin.com/PhwAhV4T18:51
magespawnsure?18:51
inetpro:-)18:51
magespawninetpro i will do that if i can18:51
inetpronah, I'm just joking18:52
inetprodon't force them to change18:52
inetpropeople don't like change18:52
inetprobut it will be nice if you could convert more peeps to see the light18:53
magespawni think a lot of the in house hotel software runs only on win18:53
inetproai!18:54
magespawnbut we will see how/if that can be changed18:54
theblazehenwine?18:54
magespawna bit too complex for that i think 18:55
inetprowell if we know what they run we can try to help you find better alternatives18:55
magespawnmost of the places use Opera and Micros18:55
magespawnthis lodge has something else not sure of the name18:56
* inetpro just noticed that the ubuntu community on G+ has 100,222 members18:58
magespawnwww.micros.co.za/micros-opera-complete-enterprise-software-solutions.html18:59
* magespawn just got zapped by a scorpion18:59
inetproeish!19:00
inetpromagespawn: you serious!?19:00
theblazehen:(19:00
magespawnyup small one though thinnish tail19:01
inetprosounds like you're used to this kind of treatment19:01
magespawnno sympathy from the wife, just a lecture about wearing shoes19:01
inetproai!19:01
inetpromagespawn: what does it feel like?19:02
magespawnred hot needle in the side of my foot19:02
theblazehenmagespawn: sucks :/19:03
superflyWhile I already knew it overall, I just read today that of all the species of scorpions, only something like 25 are actually poisonous19:04
* Symmetria waves from mauritius19:05
Symmetria;p I suppose there are worse places I could be doing from in19:05
theblazehenI went there on holiday once!19:05
magespawni think it is this one http://www.scorpions.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=96&Itemid=1919:05
magespawnnice Symmetria19:06
inetproand it looks like Intel has just started a new war against Ubuntu19:11
magespawnwhy? news?19:11
inetprobut then again, looks like it got reverted19:12
theblazehenYeah. No mir support19:12
magespawntheblazehen: i can't seem to load that pastebin you posted19:12
theblazehenmagespawn: weird.. 19:13
theblazehenmagespawn: works here, should I send the text in a PM?19:13
magespawnnah not serious19:14
theblazehenah ok19:14
inetproearlier this morning the following message was found inside some intel source code: "We do not condone or support Canonical in the course of action they have chosen, and will not carry XMir patches upstream. -The Management"19:14
theblazehenyeah19:15
magespawnwell that is nice19:16
magespawngot it now theblazehen19:16
magespawni am missing somethign here, what does tha mean inetpro?19:18
inetpromagespawn: looks like bad blood between Intel and Canonical19:18
theblazehenmagespawn: great19:19
inetproand it looks like they don't want to Intel hardware to run Mir19:20
magespawnwhat does that matter? if Canonical can write software that works on intel chips19:20
magespawnor would intel block that somehow19:20
magespawn?19:20
inetprowell it will make it a bit harder for Canonical for sure19:20
theblazehenyep19:21
theblazehenGo wayland!19:21
magespawni didn't think intel did anything special to help Canonical anyway19:21
inetprowell these kind of ructions are nothing new19:21
inetproand the sooner we have it the better19:22
inetproall open source platforms will benefit from it in the end19:23
inetprothe better software will rise to the top19:23
theblazehenyep19:23
inetproas long as things stay open everyone wins19:24
theblazeheninetpro: true19:25
inetproIntel has been very pro open source for a long time19:25
inetprolet's just hope they can sort out their differences soon19:27
theblazehenyeah :D19:27
inetproalthough these ructions may be necessary from time to time they are never fun19:30
inetpropeople get hurt19:30
theblazehenhttp://www.sciencexpo.org.za/sciencexpo/Expo.html#!home,projectview,466 if anyone's interested. My science expo project19:41
magespawnnice theblazehen, and where did it go from there?19:54
theblazehenGoing to nationals on 26-28 sept :)19:54
magespawnIs there a prize? Like sponsership to develop the software?19:58
theblazehenmagespawn: Not 100% sure19:59
theblazehenThink there is if you do well at intel science fair20:00
magespawnnow that would just be ironic20:06
inetprotheblazehen: nice job, well done!20:20
theblazehenty inetpro :D20:20
theblazehenlol magespawn20:20
inetprotheblazehen: so can you tell us more about your project?20:21
theblazehenIt basically modifies images that colourblind people can't see well, into pictures that they can20:22
theblazehenIt works by shifting the image along the dichromatic confusion lines of the CIE1931 colourspace20:22
theblazehenyou can try it at http://daltonize.tk20:23
inetprointeresting20:23
theblazehenyep :)20:23
inetprowould be nice if you could load it as a filter as part of a mobile phone's camera20:25
inetproto see the effect in real time20:25
theblazeheninetpro: yeah, bit cpu heavy atm though20:27
inetprolooks like you must have had a lot of fun doing it20:28
inetprowhat did you use to build it?20:28
theblazeheninetpro: sorry for wait. I used php and python20:46
theblazehenwas quite fun20:46
inetprocool20:46
superflywhy not just python?20:46
Squirmevening20:46
* superfly pushes buttons20:46
inetprowb Squirm20:46
theblazehensuperfly: php needed for wordpress 20:46
superflyugh, wordpress20:47
superflyit's one of the worst20:47
theblazehensuperfly: dont press the bobby tables button, pls?20:47
theblazehensuperfly: Just used it for responsive design20:47
superflyWordPress is a great example of how NOT to write software20:47
theblazehensuperfly: Agreed :/20:47
superflytheblazehen: for plain old websites, I use Drupal20:48
superflywritten in PHP, but well architectured20:48
theblazehenty superfly. ATM i'm just using html + css + php processing script20:48
superflytheblazehen: what other than the front page do you have on that server? surely WordPress is complete and utter overkill?20:49
theblazehensuperfly: Yeah, I nuked WP now. Just processing script, and CSS20:50
superflyit would be faster to get something up and running in Flask than just setting up WordPress (or Drupal for that matter)20:50
theblazehenI just used front page of one theme for it20:51
theblazehenHow long would that page be in flask or drupal?20:51
superflygrab the HTML and CSS, stuff it into a template, done.20:51
theblazehensuperfly: template for ?20:51
superflytheblazehen: flask would be a few lines of Python20:51
superflyhttp://flask.pocoo.org/20:52
