[00:13] <imbrandon> mhall119: still a TON left to do, please dont be scared hahaha but http://cl.ly/HeMu
[00:13] <imbrandon> is a sneek peek, nother hour or so + a little testing
[00:14] <imbrandon> should be good :)
[00:14] <imbrandon> and yea it updates realtime dynamicly when live
[00:51] <mhall119> imbrandon: that's looking great!
[01:16] <imbrandon> mhall119: actually i'm gonna grab some foooooood so i might not have this completed this evening at a decent hour but please do look for it in your mailbox in the morning ( i'll let you preview and blog it first so you can ask for cnages before its used even tho we can update live when done like this etc )
[01:16] <imbrandon> but yea i got plenty of hours left in me , just not sure how long you'll be arround :)
[01:17] <imbrandon> but if you are a late night owl like me then i might still get it to ya later :)
[01:17]  * imbrandon gets some pizzzzzzzzzaa!
[01:18] <imbrandon> BTW another one of my creations went live todday on behalf of the php framework-interop-grp
[01:18] <imbrandon> http://www.php-fig.com/ :)
[01:18] <imbrandon> not much content but someone else will fill that in :)
[01:52] <bkerensa> Seamonkey coming to a Ubuntu Desktop near you :)
=== jalcine is now known as Jacky
[07:16] <dholbach> good morning
=== meetingology` is now known as meetingology
[07:35] <bkerensa> gnight folks
[07:46] <jono> night all
[08:01] <czajkowski> morning
[09:24] <imbrandon> mhall119: got the nifty deal done, wrapping it up into an easy package ( e.g. copy and past a single JS call like my button ) and it will be ready for ya
[09:24] <imbrandon> i'm not 10000% happy with the colors just yet but maybe a second or 3rd opiniion will help , and they are super easy toy change ,even after its in the wild :)
[09:24] <imbrandon> s/toy/to
[10:34] <imbrandon> ok mhall119, here is iteration number one, not ready to tell everyone about yet, i need to make the easy JS link for it as well as a bit of markup cleanup and JS/CSS  optimazations ( 30 minutes total ) ...
[10:35] <imbrandon> http://www.assets-online.com/widgets/ubuntu-app-showdown/light-1/index.html
[10:35] <imbrandon> like i said tho i'm not 100% sold on the colors yet, so i'm gonna make a few variants now that the base app is done
[10:36] <imbrandon> so critizims and sugestions more than welcome ( from anyone ) about the design ( codes getting cleaned up now )
[10:36] <imbrandon> jcastro: mhall119 ^^
[10:37] <ajmitch> imbrandon: the time overhangs the box in firefox
[10:39] <imbrandon> kk
[10:40] <imbrandon> yea i only checked safari and chrome dev on osx and ubuntu so far
[10:40] <imbrandon> should start checking them all ( gotta love adobe browser lab for that )
[10:40] <ajmitch> the characters on the time are closer together in chrome, so it fits
[10:40] <imbrandon> no need to load IE :)
[10:40] <imbrandon> yea, thats an easy fix. i was gonna use a better font than
[10:41] <imbrandon> "plain sans-serif" any how
[10:41] <imbrandon> just hadent loaded up typekit yet
[10:41] <imbrandon> heh
[10:41]  * imbrandon does that now
[10:42] <imbrandon> any sugestions on alternate color schemes ajmitch ? i'll likely copy/paste 2 or 3 variants when i do the final push to the cdn for everyone to use
[10:42] <imbrandon> i was thinking a solid orange one with white lettering maybe
[10:43] <imbrandon> like the button , but was affraid it would ne too dark
[10:43] <ajmitch> I'm the worst person to ask about visual design, but a dark background (like a dark gray, or tending towards the purple) might be a good option
[10:43] <imbrandon> yea the darker auberdine
[10:43] <imbrandon> good call
[10:43] <ajmitch> right
[10:43] <imbrandon> i'll try that after the font fix
[10:43] <imbrandon> open http://www.typekit.com
[10:44] <imbrandon> bha
[10:45] <imbrandon> btw ajmitch i know you do web stuff too, if you never have tried the 100% beer free http://browserlab.adobe.com
[10:45] <imbrandon> do it
[10:45] <imbrandon> life saver man :)
[10:45] <ajmitch> yeah I'll take a look at some point
[10:45] <imbrandon> it like does 8 or 10 top browsers live
[10:46] <imbrandon> not sumulations, like real render with JS too etc
[10:47] <ajmitch> ok
[10:47]  * ajmitch is heading off to bed, will take a look tomorrow
[10:47] <ajmitch> thanks though :)
[10:53] <imbrandon> cool cool, ttyl

[13:34] <imbrandon> actually i do

[13:34] <imbrandon> gotta dial it back a bit
=== tsimpson_ is now known as tsimpson
[13:46] <imbrandon> man , kinda sucks how its almost impossible to clear aws s3 cache manually
[13:47]  * imbrandon considers just uploading to github again like last time ....
[13:47] <imbrandon> yup thats the best call
[13:47] <imbrandon> no headaches later then
[14:05] <imbrandon> OK , now path edited , git commited
[14:05] <imbrandon> woot
[14:05] <imbrandon> mhall119: http://bholtsclaw.github.com/assets/widget/light/index.html
[14:05] <imbrandon> but its missing one file for json still
[14:06] <imbrandon> let me grab that and we;re good and i KNOW github dont do what aws was just going cuz thats what hosts the button :)
[14:06] <imbrandon> btw mhall119 https://github.com/bholtsclaw/bholtsclaw.github.com/tree/master/assets/widget/light
[14:07] <imbrandon> source all there if you wanna poke at it with curiousity :)
[14:07]  * imbrandon smokes a cig and grabs a dew, wow something so simple can be a headache sometimes  heh but its always worth it in the end :)
[14:08] <imbrandon> i got boiler plate code to make it a wordpress shortcode plugin too as well as i just did that to the button for omgubuntu
[14:10] <czajkowski> imbrandon: do you always talk to yourself :)
[14:10] <imbrandon> hahaha yea
[14:10] <cjohnston> I do that too, but not normally in this channel.. I find I work through problems I'm having better
[14:10] <imbrandon> yup exactly
[14:10] <mhall119> imbrandon: http://bholtsclaw.github.com/assets/widget/light/index.html isn't showing me anything
[14:11] <imbrandon> and notes for later when i forget i search irssi :)
[14:11] <imbrandon> mhall119: yea it JUST pushed the last bit
[14:11] <czajkowski> imbrandon: I keep flicking here to see whats going on
[14:11] <czajkowski> and see you lost in your own conversation :)
[14:11] <imbrandon> you can see on the other like it was the lasy one uploaded
[14:11] <imbrandon> heh
[14:12] <imbrandon> so as soon as gh pages rebuilds and their isnt another missing escaped url
[14:12] <imbrandon> heh
[14:12] <imbrandon> those will be the death of me
[14:12] <imbrandon> like 4 this morning
[14:13] <imbrandon> mhall119: http://www.assets-online.com/widgets/ubuntu-app-showdown/light/light.json
[14:13] <imbrandon> see the 3rd line
[14:13] <imbrandon> the last </script> tag is what killed me
[14:13] <imbrandon> as soon as that updates its good , already pushed git, just waiting on build
[14:14] <imbrandon> needed <\/script> :(
[14:14] <imbrandon> nice thing is tho now the code is all done i can adapt the theme for tons of things
[14:15] <imbrandon> like releases and stuff
[14:15] <imbrandon> even plan to make anothe darker version of this assuming i have time today
[14:15] <imbrandon> :)
[14:15] <imbrandon> but thats just changing css colors heh
[14:17] <mhall119> imbrandon: cool, having this run the release countdown would be nice
[14:18] <imbrandon> yea and i'll have plenty of time to work out kinks etc just doing a little here and there on it till its time
[14:18] <imbrandon> if any arrise even, that button i havent had to change in weeks probably wont ever at this point
[14:19] <imbrandon> unless its a branding refresh or something
[14:19] <czajkowski> mhall119: is there an app channel to send people to ?
[14:19] <czajkowski> for this competition thingy
[14:20] <mhall119> czajkowski: #ubuntu-app-devel
[14:20] <czajkowski> thanks
[14:21] <imbrandon> oh btw the copy is kinda cheesy mhall119 i was thinking about one without any copy at all too, exactly the same but no copy in the middle
[14:21] <imbrandon> but if you are a word wizzard i;m more than happy to change it, i did like 10 times before i even got what i did and its still cheesey
[14:21] <imbrandon> heh
[14:31] <imbrandon> wow what is takin so long
[14:31] <imbrandon> i cant catch a break it seems or just impatient
[14:31]  * imbrandon looks at logs again to make sure i did indeed commit
[14:31] <czajkowski> *headdesk*
[14:32] <imbrandon> heh
[14:53] <mhall119> jono: you ready for your session?
[14:55] <jono> mhall just about

=== pleia2_ is now known as pleia2
[16:31] <imbrandon> mhall119: sorry, got pulled away IRL for a bit
[16:32] <imbrandon> but comming back with fresh eyes it is a cache issue somewhere, because my non cache demo works
[16:32] <imbrandon> http://bholtsclaw.github.com/assets/widget/light/demo.html
[16:32] <imbrandon> no image loaded but thats internial on the demo
[16:32] <imbrandon> intentional
[16:33] <imbrandon> anyhow what i'm getting at is i'm gonna grab a bite to eat and it should be simple to find the syntax error when i return, they just arent always obvious in ajax :)
[16:33] <imbrandon> but i'll toss the git repo in a JS linter and it will make quick work of it :)
[16:33] <imbrandon> ok food , see yall in a bit
[16:42] <mhall119> jono: 20 minutes until your "Testing your application" session
[16:44] <dholbach> alright, I call it a day - see you tomorrow
[16:44] <jono> night dh
[16:49] <jono> mhall119, I am good to go
[17:03] <imbrandon> HA i found it mhall119 and not even done eating
[17:04] <imbrandon> heh, let me finish lunch here and i'm golden now :) just needed to step away a sec, was getting to ancy :)
[17:10] <balloons> anyone still on precise have 30 seconds to check something for me?
[17:10] <balloons> run 'sudo gedit' from the command line and tell me if the menu's are globalized or not
[17:14] <mhall119> balloons: they are not
[17:14] <balloons> mhall119, thanks..
[17:15] <bkerensa> huh a bunch of ocelot shirts showed up
[17:15] <bkerensa> lol
[18:36] <mhall119> jono: Developer Q+A in 25 minutes if you can make it
[18:41] <balloons> mhall119, looks like this is the bug report for what I asked you about: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-appmenu/+bug/592842/
[18:41] <balloons> :-)
[18:41] <ubot2> Ubuntu bug 592842 in indicator-appmenu "appmenu doesn't work with apps run as sudo root" [Wishlist,Confirmed]
[18:42] <balloons> mhall119, http://askubuntu.com/questions/156372/cant-upload-project-to-ppa-using-quickly
[18:43] <mhall119> balloons: already answered ;)
[18:43] <balloons> lol -- I suppose I should have read it myself
[18:43] <balloons> a simple key error
[18:44] <balloons> chmod ftw
[18:44] <mhall119> possibly, there's something about license in the traceback
[18:44] <mhall119> so there may be more to it
[20:50] <bkerensa> jono: does ubatar not work on 12.10
[23:05] <imbrandon> mhall119: ping
[23:06] <imbrandon> mhall119: got all the kinks worked out, and everythign has been runing smooth with it for a while now, even have it loading a dynamic  generated imge instead of the JS for when JS is disabled
[23:06] <imbrandon> or feed readers etc
[23:07] <imbrandon> it will only update the image once every 10 minutes or something, but still kinda nice feature
[23:07] <imbrandon> also i have it set where i can introduce new themes on a whim and even new timers very easy for like we said releases etc
[23:07] <imbrandon> so new ones will be a matter of minutes not a full 24 hours like this one
[23:08] <imbrandon> heh
[23:08] <imbrandon> anyhow, the page its self needs spiffed up a little but i'll do that this evenning
[23:08] <imbrandon> here is the perm link that will be a landing page for all the themes and they can link from there
[23:08] <imbrandon> http://bholtsclaw.github.com/showdown/
[23:09] <imbrandon> i'ma work on the other themes but i have the processes totaly seperated so its safe to start using that one now and any others as i pump them out
[23:10] <imbrandon> will just be a matter of changing that number in the end of the url from a 1 to what ever theme num they like ( i'll number the thumbnails )
[23:11]  * imbrandon hopes that is close to what you envisioned :)
[23:11] <imbrandon> jono: ^^
[23:13] <jono> imbrandon, what are you referring to?
[23:14] <imbrandon> jono: mhall119 ask me about makeing this
[23:14] <imbrandon> http://bholtsclaw.github.com/showdown/
[23:14] <imbrandon> kinda like the button for download-for-ubuntu
[23:14] <jono> imbrandon, oh awesome!
[23:15] <jono> nice work :-)
[23:15] <imbrandon> thats the first one, but hard part is done now, and themes will be quick ( i started that one this time yesterday heh )
[23:15] <imbrandon> ty ty
[23:15] <jono> cool!
[23:15] <imbrandon> it should even show a default image that look similar when JS is off
[23:15] <imbrandon> like in rss readers
[23:16] <imbrandon> just wont update the time as fast etc :)
[23:16] <imbrandon> jono: have you seen my download for ubuntu button ?
[23:16] <imbrandon> http://bholtsclaw.github.com/assets/buttons/download-for-ubuntu.html
[23:17] <jono> imbrandon, I did, nice work :-)
[23:17] <imbrandon> Joey has been piloting it on OMG too ( the button ) and everyone has given positive feedback on it :)
[23:17] <imbrandon> maybe at somepoint i can work with the webteam and get it in-house and "officical" etc :)
[23:18] <imbrandon> that will be down the line tho heh
[23:18] <imbrandon> but yea, not the groundwork is done it will be super easy to make variants, so if you want something else just ping me
[23:19] <imbrandon> or i can even tell ya how to use the source on your own server too ( was thinking about packaging it up , maybe )
[23:19]  * imbrandon goes back to it :) cheers!
[23:20] <imbrandon> gonna do a darker more purple based one tonight
[23:20] <imbrandon> heh
[23:20] <jono> thanks, man!
[23:24] <bkerensa> jono: hopefully attendee list should be growing I put some flyers downtown today
[23:24] <jono> bkerensa, awesome, I am going to publish something about it soon too
[23:24] <jono> thanks for your help bkerensa!
[23:25] <bkerensa> jono: being that CLS is vendor neutral is it not ok to bring some mozilla swag? :P
[23:25] <jono> bring as much swag as you like :-)
[23:26] <bkerensa> jono: yeah well Ill bring some firefox pens for the notepads you had last time
[23:26] <jono> cool :-)
[23:36] <imbrandon> someone save me a google chrome notebook next time they see one ( like the paper ones, not a chrome book heh )
[23:36] <imbrandon> :P
[23:38] <imbrandon> jono: ohhhhh i almost forgot, i got offical accounts on Fedora Account System , thus ssh build boxes wiki edits etc etc , MarkDude is helping me out in that way, so I can just do tests and such for the RPM;s right on their hardware as well as upload builds when done
[23:39] <imbrandon> kinda the equiv of a per-package-uploader rights kinda thing in Ubuntu
[23:39] <imbrandon> I thought that was slick, i need to email the juju list and tell them
[23:40] <imbrandon> ( and there is a #juju-ports channel for cross distro collab + osx scragglers :P )
[23:43] <jono> imbrandon, awesome!
[23:45] <imbrandon> yea first thing i did was "yum install apt && apt-get update" haha , shhhh
[23:45] <imbrandon> okie, got some stuff to finish up so i'm kinda afk, ttyl all :)
