PadroniMorning07:25
ThatGraemeGuymornings07:37
mopkopGood Morning all!07:44
Padronihow are you all this morning?08:04
PadroniHad the hottest day in 100 years in CT yesterday :/08:04
mopkopGood morning Padroni! Here the weather is very nice! What was the temp?08:06
Padroni42 here by me08:07
Padroni45 in Paarl, aparently08:07
Padronii almost died in my office from heat stroke08:07
mopkopHow do you regulate your temperature in such heat?08:08
mopkopI hope it doesn't blow this way.08:08
Padronigale-force winds the previous day08:08
Padronino wind yesterday08:08
Padroniin my office?08:08
PadroniI have a fan08:08
Padronifighting a losing battle at that, but still08:08
PadroniI have a aircon but it is noisy 08:09
Padroniso I do not use it08:09
mopkopI can imagine the fan doesn't do much in this heat...08:09
Padroniit rearranges the dust08:13
Padronibut that is all08:13
Padronithat is the other thing08:13
Padronithis wind blows in SO MUCH DUST it is unbelievable08:14
PadroniI am getting tired of wiping down my computers and monitors08:14
inetprogood mornings08:43
mopkopGood morning inetpro!08:46
mopkopSo I fixed that irritating menu overlay on the website.08:47
mopkopI proposed a merge, but after that I made a small adjustment. Should I propose the merge again?08:47
inetprosuperfly: ^^ ?08:50
* inetpro not sure08:50
superflyyes, there's a "resubmit" link on the right08:57
inetproah, thanks superfly08:58
inetpromopkop: see that ^^ ?08:58
mopkopI see! Done. Ready for review :)08:59
Padronimake the links to social media target="_blank"09:02
Padronielse it loads in the current window and takes you away from the site09:02
PadroniExample: change this: <a href="https://twitter.com/ubuntuza"><span class="fa fa-twitter fa-fw"></span> Twitter</a>09:03
Padronito this09:03
Padroni<a href="https://twitter.com/ubuntuza" target="_blank"><span class="fa fa-twitter fa-fw"></span> Twitter</a>09:03
* inetpro just uses middleclick for opening links in tabs09:04
* Padroni shakes head09:05
PadroniNevermind then.09:05
inetproPadroni: fix it :-)09:05
mopkopI agree with Padroni. 09:05
inetpromopkop: please change it while you're at it09:06
mopkopOk.09:09
mopkopDoing it in NIkola is a bit more difficult than simply editing the html. Or at least until I figure out how :?09:10
PadroniThis is why I refuse to use Nikola.09:11
PadroniOr get involved with this site.  I can edit code quicker in notepad.09:11
mopkopYes, but you'll have to edit it for every page.09:12
mopkopGood morning magellanic!09:14
magellanicheya :)09:14
superflyPadroni: 1995 called, they want their _blank back09:15
mopkoplol09:15
PadroniLike I said : nevermind.09:15

andrewlsd209:21
inetpro109:21
inetprowb andrewlsd09:22
andrewlsdhehe. slip of the finger.09:22
andrewlsdty inetpro.09:22
andrewlsdHello all.09:22
mopkopHello andrewlsd!09:23
magellanicat least not 40C today andrewlsd09:24
magellanic:)09:24
andrewlsdyip. was 46 in Durbanville yesterday. First time in ages that the air temperature was burning my skin even in the shade.09:24
andrewlsdcrazily, my pool was 2009:25
andrewlsd... so half in pool: lower half aching from cold, upper half burning from heat.09:25
magellanicyeah it was a record breaking day for Cpt I believe09:25
andrewlsdmagellanic, yes, so I hear. Although Cape Town usually has 1 or two days per year where it reaches 40. Usually Feb.09:26
andrewlsdtemp usually measured at CT airport, so CBD is usually couple of degrees warmer.09:26
andrewlsdcoz it's a topographical 'bowl'09:27
magellanicyeah09:27
andrewlsdit's started raining today. so that's super news for the firefighters, most of which are volunteers (http://www.vws.org.za)09:28
magellanicglad, shame they are still battling those fires09:28
andrewlsd... in other news... not sure what is going to happen this weekend, since the @CycleTourSA is due to happen on Sunday and it pretty much traverses the area affected by the fires.09:28
* andrewlsd lurks09:34
magellanicwish them luck, I need a relaxing weekend.., may go checkout the ctpug meet09:37
inetproare these fires as bad as this one every year or was this one more hectic than other years?09:39
magellanicthis one was worse, terms of ground coverage, I think09:40
andrewlsd+1 magellanic09:42
superflythe last fire that was nearly this bad was 12 years ago09:52
ThatGraemeGuyso for anyone who may have been considering purchasing from the orange store, please spare yourself the pain and just don't09:53
superflyThatGraemeGuy: eh?09:53
superflyFor the most part I've only heard good. What happened?09:53
ThatGraemeGuypurchasing isn't so bad, but when you need to return a phone, you are in for a world of pain09:53
ThatGraemeGuythe wife's touchscreen became unresponsive, about the top 1.5cm or so09:53
ThatGraemeGuyseems to be a known issue with the model as far as i can tell09:54
ThatGraemeGuytook about a month to have it "repaired" and sent back, same issue09:54
ThatGraemeGuyafter much nagging, got them to have a courier collect the phone, wasn't going to pay to send it to them again09:54
ThatGraemeGuythey eventually agree that they will replace the phone since the repair wasn't successful09:55
ThatGraemeGuyexcept when the phone arrives they decide no, they will try the repair again09:55
ThatGraemeGuyeventually she calls me yesterday. she has the phone, what is the problem, she wants to test the phone before sending it back09:56
ThatGraemeGuyexplain the problem, she tests, reports its is working perfectly09:56
ThatGraemeGuyyou already know how this story ends...09:56
ThatGraemeGuythankfully they are based in jhb or it might've ended with me in prison09:56
confluency"working perfectly" = "I couldn't be arsed to read your actual complaint, so I looked at it for five seconds and it looks fine"?09:57
ThatGraemeGuythis has been a 2 month process of begging and nagging every. single. day.09:57
ThatGraemeGuyyes exactly09:57
confluencyAhhhh, I've heard this song before.09:57
ThatGraemeGuyher latest reply is "oh then is must be a software issue, please ensure the software is up-to-date"09:58
confluency(But with oven hotplates.)09:58
ThatGraemeGuyi would get a screen off ebay and do it myself, but there's reports that people who've tried that have had the problem persist :-/09:58
superflyThatGraemeGuy: which phone is that?09:59
ThatGraemeGuyso caveat emptor, is all I'm saying09:59
ThatGraemeGuysony xperia sp09:59
superflyah, OK09:59
ThatGraemeGuyhttps://www.google.co.za/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=sony%20xperia%20sp%20part%20of%20screen%20unresponsive09:59
ThatGraemeGuyI emailed the complaints dept of the national consumer council who are supposed to be guardians of the CPA, but I'm not going to hold my breath10:01
ThatGraemeGuyI suspect Sony ZA will tell me to get lost as these are actually grey imports10:02
ThatGraemeGuyhopefully my Moto G doesn't break down10:02
superflyYou should be able to take it to SonyZA, but they will might you pay for it10:03
superfly*might make10:03
ThatGraemeGuymaybe I should just try them10:03
ThatGraemeGuynothing to lose10:03
TinuvaMaci have nothing but good stuff to say about my sony xperia10:06
TinuvaMacits a z1 compact though10:07
TinuvaMaclove this phone10:07
ThatGraemeGuyno, the phone is great, it's Orange SA's service that is shockingly bad10:07
ThatGraemeGuyit has a fault, it happens10:07
TinuvaMacah yes ofc10:08
highvoltageThatGraemeGuy: ah that's good to know, I was considering buying from ogange SA10:14
superflyLike I said, I know a couple of people who haven't had any issues. But I don't think they've needed to return anything.10:16
ThatGraemeGuyyeah the purchase process is not an issue10:17
SquirmHello10:24
superflyhey Squirm, surviving?10:25
Squirmsuperfly: Being smoked out a bit10:26
SquirmWell, I'm ok, because I'm in an office. But the guys have closed a few warehouse doors10:26
mopkopHello Squirm!10:26
Squirmsuperfly: are you based on Capricorn side of Muizenberg?10:27
mopkopApparently it is impossible to do the target="_blank" in the menu items with nikola.10:27
andrewlsdHi peeps, any of you folks "steam" users. I've never been a gamer :-(   but am thinking of having a look at Steam. Any thoughts, gotcha's, etc would be appreciated.10:42
Squirmandrewlsd: not really10:54
SquirmIt just likes updating a lot10:54
andrewlsdSquirm: I see that. ;-(10:55
magellanicandrewlsd: I haven't used it either (also not a gamer), but heard good things about it11:04
andrewlsdjust getting my first steam game now. 10GB. 11:07
andrewlsdflip, that'll take days....11:07
magellanic:p11:15
magellanicwhich game?11:15
andrewlsdWar Thunder (72MB of 9.7GB downloaded) 11:15
* andrewlsd thinks a smaller game would have been better to start with11:15
andrewlsdany suggestions for a quick (small) game to try?11:15
magellaniccan't you stop and resume it11:15
magellanicwe are steam partners, but I don't what that means yet :p11:17
TinuvaMacyou can pause steam games11:19
TinuvaMacyou can even schedule it to only downloads from like midnight to 6am if you want11:19
andrewlsd... it looked like you can schedule it to only download "updates" during certain time periods. but not schedule a new game download11:23
Kilospower just came back on11:24
Kiloshi andrewlsd  11:24
andrewlsdHi Kilos, wb11:24
Kilosty11:25
mopkopHello Kilos!11:31
mopkopCan we perhaps move the social links on the website to the footer? On Trello I put an example of how it would look like.11:37
=== Kilos is now known as Kilosyou
Kilosyouyou need to talk to inetpro  and superfly  about that lad11:38
Padronihi Kilosyou11:39
Kilosyouhi Padroni  11:40
Kilosyoumopkop  exlpain here why you think it will be better and let them decide11:40
Kilosyoumaybe put your thoughts in a comment in trello too11:41
mopkopOk :)11:41
mopkopIt's really just because the top menu looks overpopulated.11:42
mopkopIt is this overpopulation that caused the overlay problem.11:42
mopkopAlso, I think it looks better on the bottom.11:42
mopkopAnd I can add target="_blank" to it :)11:43
mopkopWhich is the reason I tried to do it in the first place.11:43
Kilosyouwhat happened my nick11:44
=== Kilosyou is now known as Kilos
inetpromopkop: what do you mean with it's overpopulated?11:52
mopkopinetpro: Too much menu Items.11:53
mopkopGo to the current website and resize the width to about 900px11:53
inetproit wraps at 900px width11:54
mopkopYes, try to read the top text now.11:54
inetproI can read it11:54
mopkopDoes'nt the forum menu go to the next line?11:55
mopkopTry the 'Getting started' page.11:56
mopkopIt is this problem I fixed with the merge I proposed.11:56
inetprooh yes, I see what you mean... when going to 'Getting Started'11:56
mopkopBut it would be better if we just make the menu smaller.11:57
inetprochange Getting Started to Get Started and Getting Involved to Get Involved11:58
superflyOr, stop adding so many pages.11:58
superflyI wanted like a 1 page site.11:58
superflyI don't want to sit with the same problem I've had for like the last 8 years... a big fat website on my hands, and no one wants to help me maintain it. No thank you.11:59
Kiloshi mage11:59
magespawnhi Kilos 11:59
Kilosmagespawn  too11:59
mopkopHello magespawn!12:00
magespawni accept that as a shortening 12:00
magespawnhi mopkop 12:00
Kiloshehe12:00
inetprosuperfly: hmm... at least we already have like 4 or 5 people involved again but I agree we should perhaps cut down on content 12:03
inetprodoing the Nikola thing is fun at this point12:03
inetpromopkop: perhaps 'LoCo Links' should become just 'Links' as well and then add the social media items in the same list12:06
mopkopChanging 'getting' to 'get' works, but The logo is still on a separate line.12:08
mopkopThere is another reason I wish the Social links to be at the bottom. Actually a few reasons. 12:09
mopkopFor one, it whould be nice if you clicked it and it opens in a new tab. Nikola doesn't allow this with menu links.12:09
mopkopPerhaps I can do both, But the links menu-list should not be too long.12:11
inetproMaaz: is http://www.ubuntu.com/ up?12:42
Maazinetpro: Yes, http://www.ubuntu.com/ is up12:42
inetproMaaz: is https://www.ubuntu.com/ up?12:42
Maazinetpro: No, https://www.ubuntu.com/ is down (Server is not responding)12:43
inetprohmm...12:43
mopkopwierd...                                                    12:49
mopkophttps://code.launchpad.net/~prysdieheer/ubuntu-za/menu-revisions - incase anyone wanted to test the changes. I'm not going to propose a merge yet, it's just to compare12:49
mopkopbzr branch lp:~prysdieheer/ubuntu-za/menu-revisions12:49
inetpromopkop: good idea... I'll check later12:50
inetproKilos: check it so long on your side12:51
inetproand anyone else for that matter12:51
* andrewlsd returns13:27
mopkopWelcome back!13:27
andrewlsdany lucky peeps here already ordered an Ubuntu Phone?13:27
magellanicnot me13:28
andrewlsdcheerio folks14:12

Kilosat home or at work?15:33
Kiloslol nlsthzn_  i see the UAE has a cricket team at the world cup15:52
Kilosinetpro  what are you breaking again15:54
Kilosno wonder they stole your cheese15:54
Kiloshi clr  mopkop  16:27
mopkopHello again...16:28
inetproKilos: I'm here, you need something?16:51
Kilosnope ty i just saw you all part/join16:52
inetprohmm...16:56
inetpromopkop: you completely removed social media links at the top now?16:56
mopkopYes. Or do you think I should but it in the links?16:57
inetpronot sure what other think but I kinda like it at the top and bottom16:58
inetproothers16:59
Kilosi go eat16:59
inetprodefinitily looks better with less menu choices at the top17:05
inetprodo we really need 'Home' when the logo takes us home?17:06
mopkopYea, I think we can remove it too. What do you guys think?17:11
* inetpro likes it without 'Home' and with just 'Links' and 'Social'17:14
* inetpro will wait for others to chime in17:15
inetproForums should actually fall under Links as well if you ask me17:19
mopkopNoted.17:19
inetproand then 'Ask Ubuntu' http://askubuntu.com/ as well17:20
mopkopBut it's not really part of the Loco.17:20
mopkopMaybe we should make a 'help' menu for these 2 links.17:20
inetprohmm,,,17:20
mopkopPushed the changes. You can update the branch now.17:48
mopkopOn your computer I mean.17:48
mopkopAnd check out the changes.17:48
magespawngood evening17:58
inetpromopkop: nice!18:04
mopkopEvening magespawn18:13
Kiloshi magespawn  18:15
Kiloslooks fine to me mopkop  18:15
inetprouh, be a bit more critical man18:21
Kiloslol18:22
Kilosi like the twit place and fb at the bottom18:22
inetprowe prefer your honest opinion Kilos :-)18:22
Kilosi have liked the site from the begiining and now it looks a bit better imo. i dont enjoy all sites making that social stuff very prominent18:24
Kilosbut you have to convince the fly not me18:24
mopkopsuperfly?18:25
mopkopWhat do you think?18:25
superflypeople always want to know your Fakebook page, etc, so in this day and age, it is important to make them prominent.18:29
superflymost of OpenLP's PR is done via Facebook. We post news on our site, but then push it through to Facebook, Twitter and Google+18:30
* inetpro also feels the social media links should be quite prominent18:30
inetprosuperfly: how do you like the Help links?18:31
Kilosi accept your decisions, just im not a fb twitter fan like others18:31
Kilosmy own opinion18:32
superflyAs I said before, the simpler the site the better, but I don't have time to look at this right now. I have work to do on DebConf1618:32
mopkopHmm, both then?18:33
inetproai!18:33
inetpromopkop: we don't have to rush the updates anyway18:33
Kilospatience is a virtue18:34
mopkopYes,  no rush :)18:34
inetprosuperfly: what do you have to do now about DebConf16?18:36
superflyinetpro: everything!18:36
superflywell, not quite, but I've got some things I need to get done before out meeting at 9:3018:37
