| th1a_ | hi replaceafill. | 18:26 |
|---|---|---|
| replaceafill | hey th1a_ | 18:26 |
| th1a_ | So it is kind of funny working with the various applications we're using to organize this conference. | 18:27 |
| th1a_ | How they handle imports, roles, etc. | 18:27 |
| th1a_ | They all have their warts. | 18:27 |
| replaceafill | what interesting things have you learned so far? | 18:27 |
| replaceafill | have you started loving spreadsheets? :) | 18:28 |
| th1a_ | I got confused yesterday because the scheduling app counts and displays each role a person has as a sort of but not quite different person. | 18:28 |
| th1a_ | Like if you search for Douglas, and you're both an "attendee" and "speaker" you come up twice. | 18:29 |
| replaceafill | :| | 18:29 |
| th1a_ | But if you edit either instance, both are updated. | 18:29 |
| th1a_ | I mean, it works well overall, but that's a quirk of implementation. | 18:30 |
| replaceafill | is it a custom tool for your org? | 18:30 |
| th1a_ | No, it is http://sched.org | 18:30 |
| replaceafill | ah | 18:30 |
| th1a_ | Google contacts import is horrible if you aren't importing from another contact app (i.e., you've just got a spreadsheet). | 18:31 |
| th1a_ | Highrise's contact importer is pretty much what we should have implemented in SchoolTool. | 18:31 |
| th1a_ | There's a form to assign columns to demographic fields or create new demographic fields. | 18:32 |
| replaceafill | ah | 18:32 |
| th1a_ | Overall, each is good in some ways, bad in others. Like SchoolTool... | 18:33 |
| replaceafill | :) | 18:33 |
| th1a_ | Sorry I missed you yesterday. | 18:33 |
| th1a_ | I was running around. | 18:33 |
| replaceafill | np | 18:33 |
| replaceafill | i'm feeling kind of burned anyway | 18:33 |
| th1a_ | By non-SchoolTool tasks? | 18:33 |
| replaceafill | everything i guess | 18:34 |
| th1a_ | Yeah, you had a rough weekend. | 18:34 |
| replaceafill | change everywhere | 18:34 |
| replaceafill | i saw Patty's email | 18:35 |
| replaceafill | they haven't packed it yet | 18:35 |
| th1a_ | Right, yeah. | 18:35 |
| replaceafill | it's 2 GB right now | 18:36 |
| th1a_ | Sounded like they weren't *really* ready anyhow. | 18:36 |
| th1a_ | OK. Worth packing then. | 18:36 |
| replaceafill | i was thinking we could just bzip it and send it to them, but they should pack it anyway at some point | 18:36 |
| th1a_ | It is possible to trigger that externally if you really wanted to, right? | 18:36 |
| replaceafill | to make it smaller | 18:36 |
| replaceafill | you mean that we could pack it for them? | 18:37 |
| th1a_ | Yes. | 18:37 |
| th1a_ | Not that I'm sweating it.... | 18:37 |
| replaceafill | i remember there's a pack option in the command line somewhere | 18:37 |
| replaceafill | but i haven't used it | 18:37 |
| replaceafill | ok | 18:37 |
| th1a_ | at this point, it is a good thing for her to be like "OK, we're DONE. It is packed, go ahead." | 18:38 |
| replaceafill | do you know who's hosting their new server? | 18:38 |
| th1a_ | Probably the Lionlike guy. | 18:38 |
| th1a_ | But no, not really. | 18:38 |
| replaceafill | ah | 18:38 |
| replaceafill | ok | 18:39 |
| replaceafill | so i have not much to report unfortunately | 18:40 |
| replaceafill | i read a post by Jesse Noller yesterday | 18:40 |
| replaceafill | https://medium.com/@jessenoller/everything-dies-in-tech-27a76cb08061#.bcq53gt7g | 18:40 |
| replaceafill | that's me right now i guess :/ | 18:40 |
| th1a_ | Oh, I updated my laptop to 16.04, and now I can't get hardware acceleration to work right, so I finally switched to Xubuntu. | 18:41 |
| replaceafill | xubuntu? | 18:41 |
| replaceafill | is it still alive? | 18:41 |
| th1a_ | For old computers, yes. | 18:41 |
| replaceafill | i thought it died some time ago | 18:41 |
| replaceafill | but it's based on 16.04? | 18:41 |
| th1a_ | Yes. | 18:41 |
| replaceafill | ah | 18:42 |
| th1a_ | My processor is no longer pegged just trying to display a half dozen chromium tabs. | 18:45 |
| *** th1a_ has quit IRC | 19:26 | |
| th1a | replaceafill: Just replied to some interesting queries from Palestine and Iraq. | 23:28 |
| replaceafill | :O | 23:29 |
