[07:30] <head_victim> That was a little old, sorry about that (the meeting date)
[07:30] <head_victim> And now, back to the grindstone. I'll be back later xannen and sagaci :D
[07:31] <xannen> ok head_victim.  :D
[07:31] <xannen> did any of you see chris bowen getting chased by protesters?  lol
[09:09] <head_victim> Aww sagaci left when I have good news for him. I'm being added to the translation project that runs xchat so I'll FINALLY be able to submit translations!
[10:15] <xannen> Anyone here?
[10:17] <benonsoftware> xannen: Yeah
[10:17] <xannen> hi ben
[10:17] <benonsoftware> Hi
[10:17] <xannen> are you a software developer, benonsoftware?
[10:18] <benonsoftware> xannen: I do program but not as a job
[10:18] <xannen> what language do you program in?  or prefer to?
[10:18] <benonsoftware> Python
[10:19] <xannen> cool.
[10:19] <benonsoftware> You?
[10:19] <xannen> i like C#, but am leaning towards Java now.
[10:20] <xannen> C# Mono on linux is not as up to date as java.
[10:20] <benonsoftware> :)
[10:21] <xannen> though i haven't program for quite sometime now.
[10:21] <benonsoftware> :)
[10:22] <xannen> i wish eclipse was more up to date too.
[10:22] <xannen> the current ppa for eclipse is broken. :(
[10:24] <xannen> What IDE do you use for python?  if you do use one.
[10:24] <benonsoftware> :) Package it yourelf :)
[10:25] <xannen> there is still much to learn for me when it comes to linux filesystem structure, let alone making a package.  lol
[10:27] <benonsoftware> I don't really use a IDE with Python only when I'm on Windows 8
[10:27] <xannen> wow windows 8?  
[10:27] <benonsoftware> Yep
[10:27] <xannen> i haven't heard of windows 8.
[10:28] <benonsoftware> Its only a dev tools build so far I'll give you the link
[10:28] <xannen> so windows 8 is next, after windows 7?
[10:28] <benonsoftware> Yeah
[10:29] <benonsoftware> http://downloads.pcauthority.com.au/article/24831-microsoft-windows-8-developer-preview-64-bit-w-developer-tools
[10:29] <xannen> cool.  i'm so out of touch with IT.  lol
[10:30] <benonsoftware> :) use it inside VituralBox
[10:32] <xannen> where are you based, if you don't me asking, benonsoftware?
[10:33] <benonsoftware> Melbourne
[10:33] <xannen> i'm in bris.
[10:34] <xannen> by the way, are there plugins or ways to customise xchat?
[10:40] <benonsoftware> Yeah
[10:56] <head_victim> Yay translation access to xchat!
[10:57] <head_victim> Now to fix my po
[10:57] <benonsoftware> :)
[10:57] <benonsoftware> xannen: Found any good plugins for XChat yet?
[12:46] <head_victim> Hmm well I've improved the keyboard, now half the extra keys work, the other half lock the keyboard input to the whole system.
[12:46] <head_victim> On that note, I'm off for a while, cheerio
[13:00] <xannen> LOL Chris Bowen is in a wonderful political state. :D
[14:01] <xannen> hi saggy
[14:04] <sagaci> hi xannen 
[14:08] <xannen> how are you sag?
[14:08] <sagaci> not bad considering it's a few ticks after midnight
[14:09] <xannen> hehe...
[14:09] <xannen> did you watch the news?
[14:09] <xannen> i mean do you*
[14:11] <sagaci> rarely
[14:12] <xannen> ah...
[14:12] <xannen> so how was your day?
[14:15] <sagaci> since when was a zucchini called a courgette
[14:18] <xannen> no idea  lol
[14:19] <xannen> you only program in python eh?
[14:23] <head_victim> sagaci: good news, I pushed the xchat translation for enGB
[14:23] <head_victim> No idea when it gets updated though
[14:23] <head_victim> And it's only enGB not AU
[14:23] <xannen> hi head_victim
[14:23] <head_victim> Gday again xannen 
[14:23] <xannen> on note of language, is enGB the same as enAU ?
[14:24] <head_victim> xannen: pretty much for all formal language
[14:24] <sagaci> ah ok so I wonder if that will alias for en_AU, ie. will we get the changes?
[14:26] <ejat> :)
[14:26] <xannen> au ubuntu isn't big eh?
[14:26] <xannen> i don't mean in membership, as in adoption etc...
[14:32] <sagaci> probably similar to other places in the world, maybe even worse-off due to pretty bad internet speed/quotas here
[14:40] <head_victim> sagaci: I'm not sure, I generally put enGB as secondary anyway though so shouldn't be too much of a drama
[15:21] <sagaci> translations start at batch 825 now
=== bwright is now known as aoeuaoeu
[15:45] <sagaci> head_victim, ping
[15:45] <head_victim> Yep
[15:46] <xannen> PONG!
[15:46] <sagaci> head_victim, how large are the planet-au images supposed to be
[15:47] <head_victim> Not sure is there a problem?
[15:47] <sagaci> no, it's just that I'm figuring out how much to scale a photo by
[15:48] <head_victim> Ah, I'm sure they've scaled them for me before
[15:49] <sagaci> righteo then
[15:54] <head_victim> I've buggered up something here :/
[15:54] <head_victim> Don't you hate it when you're not even sure what you buggered up
[15:57] <xannen> lol head_victim
[15:57] <head_victim> I've been playing with getting some of these keys working on the new keyboard
[15:57] <head_victim> I had most of it working
[15:58] <sagaci> then BAM
[15:58] <xannen> must be an "apple thing"  :P
[15:59] <sagaci> head_victim, media keys?
[16:00] <head_victim> Nah it's got extra keys, the media ones worked. It has cut, cpoy, paste and scroll keys and launch keys
[16:02] <xannen> Launch key activation: Houston, we're so fucked!  LOL
[16:03] <head_victim> I thought it would have been easy to set up, apparently not (it IS a linux keyboard)
[16:03] <xannen> the apple front end mod must have stuffed it  :P
[16:04] <head_victim> My keyboard has nothing to do with apple....
[16:04] <xannen> i'm using a microsoft keyboard, so it works.  though, i haven't tested all the keys.
[16:04] <xannen> oh.  i thought you got an apple keyboard.  my bad.
[16:05] <head_victim> Nope, Cherry CyMotion Master Linux
[16:05] <xannen> Well it beats me then.
[16:11] <xannen> Do you play computer game, head_victim?
[16:12] <head_victim> Just Urban Terror occasionally
[16:13] <xannen> ah.. i'm on Heroes of Newerth (HoN).
[16:13] <xannen> I haven't heard of Urban Terror.  LOL
[16:14] <xannen> I was playing world of warcraft, but silly game economy and grinding got to me. :(
[16:16] <sagaci> I played wow for about 2-3hours but never got into it
[16:17] <xannen> lol
