| ignas | th1a: http://ignas.pov.lt/stdemo/persons/teacher013/calendar | 17:27 |
| ignas | log in as teacher013:teacher013 | 17:27 |
| ignas | aelkner, Lumiere: you could try looking at it as well | 17:27 |
| Lumiere | ignas: what are we looking at? | 17:45 |
| ignas | overlay portlet | 17:45 |
| ignas | with multiple terms of sections in it | 17:46 |
| Lumiere | ignas: it would be nice if there were a way to distinguish the terms in the colors or text of the calendar | 17:47 |
| Lumiere | but it looks pretty good | 17:47 |
| Lumiere | oh | 17:47 |
| Lumiere | wait | 17:47 |
| Lumiere | are 2007Fall/2008Spring being marked as 1 class in 2 terms? | 17:47 |
| Lumiere | vs 2006Fall/2007 Spring? | 17:47 |
| ignas | ? | 17:48 |
| Lumiere | looking at that calendar | 17:48 |
| ignas | i think the colors just match, because we have 10 colors | 17:48 |
| Lumiere | ah | 17:48 |
| ignas | and 5 sections per term | 17:48 |
| ignas | look at the urls | 17:48 |
| Lumiere | so we need about 20 more colors | 17:48 |
| * ignas is going for "customizable colors" rather | 17:48 | |
| ignas | some teachers want colors matching | 17:48 |
| ignas | for the mostly same sections | 17:49 |
| ignas | in the same school year | 17:49 |
| Lumiere | yea | 17:49 |
| ignas | what do you mean "distinguish terms in the colors"? | 17:50 |
| ignas | as in - color the items that are in the same term in the same color/tone/brightness ? | 17:51 |
| Lumiere | nah | 17:56 |
| Lumiere | I was thinking fall/spring were one class | 17:56 |
| Lumiere | so, maybe even if they're the same color | 17:56 |
| Lumiere | make it 'Math B (term)' | 17:56 |
| Lumiere | as a title | 17:56 |
| Lumiere | so even if they are the same color people can see that it is different | 17:57 |
| ignas | as in - in events? | 17:57 |
| ignas | or in the legend | 17:57 |
| ignas | because in the legend - they might be the same | 17:57 |
| ignas | one section can get scheduled for multiple terms at the moment | 17:57 |
| ignas | (even though i'd suggest not doing that) | 17:57 |
| Lumiere | ugh? | 18:00 |
| Lumiere | in the event | 18:00 |
| Lumiere | in the legend it is already that way | 18:00 |
| Lumiere | in your url | 18:01 |
| ignas | you mean - while looking at the calendar you are not aware which term you are looking at? | 18:01 |
| Lumiere | right | 18:01 |
| Lumiere | because there are multiple things with the same color | 18:02 |
| ignas | do you really care about the term? | 18:02 |
| ignas | you have the date | 18:02 |
| ignas | and - only the term that is "in the view" will be expanded (in the future) | 18:02 |
| Lumiere | yea I have the date, but idiot proofing is good | 18:02 |
| ignas | idiot proofing for what? | 18:03 |
| Lumiere | for people who don't read context | 18:03 |
| ignas | i mean - what kind of error/mistake can you make | 18:03 |
| ignas | if you don't know which term some event that you are looking at is in | 18:03 |
| Lumiere | ignas: try and edit something for a date in the past/future | 18:04 |
| ignas | don't really thing we should extend event titles to accomodate that, it's a calendar, you get "Math B - Wednesday, 2008-02-27" | 18:05 |
| ignas | as the title | 18:05 |
| ignas | in the edit view | 18:05 |
| ignas | the date is on top of the calendar | 18:05 |
| ignas | and you are not editing a set of event, but the specific event you want to edit... | 18:05 |
| ignas | *set of events | 18:05 |
| ignas | and our event titles are truncated already in many cases | 18:06 |
| ignas | with moderately long section titles :/ | 18:06 |
| ignas | the Sprots B looks like "Kūno kultūra (1b, 1c)" in lyceum instance | 18:07 |
| ignas | making it "Kūno kurtūra (1b, 1c) 2008 Pavasaris" | 18:08 |
| ignas | when the 2008 Pavasaris is repeated 7 times (for every lesson in that day) | 18:08 |
| ignas | because all the events in the day are in the same term | 18:08 |
| ignas | what we might add though | 18:08 |
| ignas | but I should talk to th1a and lyceum about it | 18:08 |
| ignas | is term titles on top of weekly, daily, monthly and yearly views | 18:09 |
| ignas | so that when looking at a yearly view or some other calendar view you would know which terms is that day covering | 18:09 |
| Lumiere | that works | 18:09 |
| Lumiere | I am just looking for something that describes the erm | 18:09 |
| Lumiere | because in arlington | 18:09 |
| Lumiere | "Quarter 2" (or Winter 2007-8 if you will) is October -> January | 18:10 |
| Lumiere | they don't overlap | 18:10 |
| Lumiere | but there needs to be a pointer/reminder | 18:10 |
| ignas | i still don't really know any usecases when you need that information, except when looking back in time | 18:11 |
| Lumiere | the usecase is my sanity | 18:16 |
| ignas | ? | 18:18 |
| * ignas is trying to understand | 18:18 | |
| ignas | i have never had any confusions with terms | 18:19 |
| ignas | usually you don't really care about terms at all | 18:19 |
| Lumiere | I hail from the department of redundancy department | 18:19 |
| ignas | if someone can't see the 2008 01 11 he won't see 2008 01 11 (Quarter 2) | 18:21 |
| ignas | and my point is - you don't care if it's Quarter 2 or Quarter 1 | 18:21 |
| ignas | you care that it's tomorrow ;) | 18:21 |

| th1a_ | Also, my internet went down and no sound is coming out of my stereo. | 18:35 |
| ignas | th1a_: http://schooltool.pov.lt/irclogs/latest.log.html#t2008-02-27T17:27:04 | 18:36 |
| th1a_ | Give me a few minutes... | 18:38 |
| *** th1a has quit IRC | 18:41 | |
| *** th1a_ is now known as th1a | 18:48 | |
| th1a | I'm going to have to think about this when I'm feeling a little more clear headed. | 18:51 |
| th1a | But I don't think I agree with Lumiere in the above discussion. | 18:51 |
| * ignas just wanted opinion | 18:53 | |
| ignas | on the portlet | 18:53 |
| ignas | th1a: as in - do you like it? | 18:53 |
| ignas | is it sane | 18:53 |
| th1a | It is different than what I was expecting, but it seems sane. | 18:54 |
| th1a | Probably more sane than my ideas. | 18:54 |
| th1a | But I need to play with it a little more when I've had some coffee and food. | 18:55 |
| ignas | :) | 18:55 |
| ignas | there is no "auto expand" according to terms visible at the moment | 18:55 |
| ignas | but i'll add that some time later (probably) | 18:55 |
| th1a | I'll send you some feedback later today. | 18:56 |
| ignas | ok | 18:57 |
| th1a | Also, Kitty is being very affectionate with my mouse hand... | 18:58 |
| th1a | ...the perils of working at home. | 18:58 |
| ignas | th1a: the cat in our office does the same sometimes | 18:59 |
| th1a | There is a cat in your office? | 19:06 |
| ignas | sometimes | 19:07 |
| ignas | yes | 19:07 |
| ignas | he's sleeping on the couch behind me at the moment | 19:07 |
| th1a | Are you still in the same office? | 19:08 |
| ignas | yes | 19:08 |
| ignas | it's Aiste's cat | 19:08 |
| mgedmin | it's a working cat | 19:10 |
| mgedmin | it gets to work earlier than I do | 19:10 |
| mgedmin | and sometimes goes home later | 19:10 |
| Lumiere | lol | 19:12 |
| th1a | Most cats don't like to commute. | 19:12 |
| ignas | th1a: this one is very happy to go to work every morning, and not so happy when it's time to go back home | 19:13 |
| th1a | I see. | 19:14 |
| ignas | Aiste said it's so eager that it get's into the "travel box" every morning and waits to be taken to the office | 19:14 |
| ignas | ok, i have to go home now, will be waiting for feedback :) | 19:16 |
| ignas | see you | 19:16 |
