| [04:58] <jonafan_> hello | |
| [04:59] <jonafan_> so ubuntu one allows applications to support synchronization with the magic of couchdb | |
| [05:00] <burzki> according to linux outlaws? | |
| [05:00] <jonafan_> i am curious, how is that superior to just keeping your apps data in ordinary files in your ubuntu one folder | |
| [05:03] <burzki> i'm no expert. i think it hasn't been tested much, still in development | |
| [05:03] <burzki> that might be a hassle for normal users | |
| [05:06] <jonafan_> hmm | |
| [05:06] <jonafan_> i still don't get it | |
| [05:08] <burzki> have you tried it. does it work fine? | |
| [05:09] <jonafan_> well yeah, i tried putting a file on it and also tried enabling the tomboy support | |
| [05:09] <jonafan_> but i don't really use tomboy and only have one linux machine that i use heavily | |
| [05:09] <jonafan_> it seems to work though | |
| [05:10] <jonafan_> i've used drop box for a while | |
| [05:17] <burzki> were you asking about files or apps data? same thing? maybe i misunderstood | |
| [05:18] <burzki> thought you meant apps data as configs and prefs, etc. | |
| [05:22] <jonafan_> whatever the couchdb thing is | |
| [05:23] <jonafan_> i don't understand how it's different from just keeping config files on ubuntu one directory | |
| [05:26] <burzki> couchdb is a database, platform neutral. configures differently than mysql, ie. -- i know i wouldn't want to go around my system for all the app configs to get them into the One folder | |
| [05:27] <burzki> try this for more .. http://twit.tv/floss99 | |
| [05:28] <jonafan_> i actually i listened to that at work today | |
| [05:30] <jonafan_> i've heard a lot of pitches, but i just don't what's impressive about it | |
| [05:30] <jonafan_> i'm not trying to be negative, i just don't understand | |
| [05:32] <jonafan_> well placed symbolic links provide this kind of functionality in a way that is transparent to the applications | |
| [05:32] <burzki> dont understand One, or how it works .. ? | |
| [05:32] <burzki> got it | |
| [05:36] <jonafan_> well i'm wicked tired | |
| [05:37] <jonafan_> i'm sure some app will come out some day that will show how obviously awesome couchdb integration is | |
| [05:37] <jonafan_> goodnizzle | |
| [11:16] <b1ackcr0w> im teaching myself about symlinking this morning | |
| [11:16] <b1ackcr0w> if i symlinked a conf file in my home directory | |
| [11:16] <b1ackcr0w> to one that didn't exist in an ubuntu one folder | |
| [11:16] <b1ackcr0w> would that file get backed up? | |
| [12:14] <b1ackcr0w> honk | |

| [16:32] <jelmer_> Hello | |
| [16:59] <verterok> jelmer_: hi | |
| [17:00] <jelmer_> hey Guillermo | |
| [17:01] <jelmer_> Do you know if there are any plans for a desktopcouch backend for gconf? | |
| [17:01] <verterok> jelmer_: I think there is | |
| [17:01] * verterok digg in the mail | |
| [17:05] <verterok> jelmer_: I can't find the reference | |
| [17:05] <verterok> jelmer_: but I think some user asked about that | |
| [17:06] <jelmer_> ah, cool | |
| [17:06] <jelmer_> that'd be a killer feature, at least for me | |
| [17:06] <verterok> jelmer_: I think isn't in the plan for lucid, but if someone in the community works on it that would be great ;) | |
| [17:16] * verterok -> out | |
| [17:16] <verterok> later! | |
| [17:18] <jelmer_> verterok: ttyl! | |
| [18:32] <TimH1> Honk. | |
| [18:38] <riverbird> is there a way i can get tomboy off an 8.04 machine up into One, so that i can get it back down to my new machine? | |
| [18:38] <riverbird> and possibly vice-versa? | |
| [18:51] <riverbird> i'll take that as a not possible or not known .. thx | |
| [23:41] <Izinucs> I've got one machine running Intrepid.. how do I get Tomboy on that machine to sync with ubuntu one? | |
| [23:42] <Izinucs> My version of Tomboy doesn't have a "Tomboy Web" sync option. | |
