| [00:11] <aquarius> mhall119, ping | |
| [00:14] <aquarius> mhall119, if I want to write a music scope with Singlet, (a) is there any documentation other than http://mhall119.com/2012/01/singlet-part-0-2/ and (b) should I use quickly-unity-lens-template to build it even though I'm not writing a lens? | |
| [00:15] <aquarius> it's not at all clear to me how I find out what my scope is meant to generate, for an existing lend | |
| [00:15] <aquarius> lens | |
| [00:30] <mhall119> aquarius: the quickly template is for lenses only | |
| [00:31] <mhall119> it can probably be re-used for scopes, but you'll have to do some manual tweaking | |
| [00:31] <aquarius> mhall119, ok, cool. YOur blog post says things like "Singlet uses this to build DBus names and paths, and also to know where to install your scope.", implying that I can make singlet generate a .scope file for me; is this so? | |
| [00:32] <aquarius> I mean, if I just write a python file which imports singlet and implements a scope, I don't know how or where to install it... | |
| [00:33] <mhall119> aquarius: that was stripped from Singlet and put into the quicly template | |
| [00:34] <aquarius> ah. but the quickly template doesn't do scopes. :( | |
| [00:34] <mhall119> not yet | |
| [00:34] <aquarius> so... how do I create a music scope with Singlet? | |
| [00:34] <aquarius> sorry if I sound stupid here, but I don't know what I'm doing. :) | |
| [00:34] <mhall119> right now, you write it from scratch | |
| [00:35] <mhall119> aquarius: ping me in the morning (my time) and I'll walk you through it | |
| [00:35] <aquarius> right, OK. Are there any examples of Singlet music scopes? I have found a couple of examples of Singlet scopes which go with a custom Singlet lens, and Python music scopes which *don't* use Singlet :) | |
| [00:36] <mhall119> not music, no | |
| [00:36] <aquarius> happy to chat tomorrow though :) | |
| [00:36] <mhall119> tthe only concern you'd have it getting the category indexes right | |
| [00:37] <aquarius> on the list of things I do not know is htf I find out what a scope needs to return to satisfy a particular lens, without rtfs. But this can wait for tomorrow ;) | |
| [00:37] <mhall119> yeah, you have to rtfs, which sucks | |
| [00:37] <aquarius> heh | |
| [00:38] <aquarius> I shall write a mini qml client for now, and talk to you tomorrow about dash integration ;) | |
| [00:39] <mhall119> sounds good | |
| [00:39] <mhall119> you should probably sleep too, at some point | |
| [00:41] <aquarius> in theory, yeah | |
| [00:41] <aquarius> I'm on holiday, though :) | |
| [00:41] <aquarius> two-day public holiday in the UK! | |
| [00:41] <aquarius> and tomorrow I might go out and buy myself a Porsche. :) | |
| [00:41] <aquarius> so staying up late to write a music player is perfectly rational :P | |
| [00:57] <mhall119> lol | |
| [07:02] <dholbach> good morning | |
| [10:47] <aquarius> mhall119, I'm not sure when your morning starts. :) | |
| [11:21] <mhall119> aquarius: in a couple hours | |
| [11:21] * aquarius laughs and laughs | |
| [11:21] <aquarius> go away then :) | |
| [11:52] * dpm chuckles | |
| [13:44] <aquarius> mhall119, if you're around at some point, say the word :) | |
| [14:03] <mhall119> aquarius: I'm around, but about to jump into meetings | |
| [14:07] <aquarius> mhall119, ah, ok | |
| [15:29] <kola911> hi guys | |
| [15:33] <dpm> hi kola911 | |
| [15:34] <kola911> umm I wanted to ask something ? | |
| [15:34] <dpm> kola911, feel free to ask | |
| [15:34] <kola911> I am doing scjp | |
| [15:35] <kola911> and am about to take the exams | |
| [15:35] <kola911> so I believe that I am capable of making simple application | |
| [15:35] <kola911> so I wonder if I can get into any existing java projects | |
| [15:35] <kola911> ? | |
| [15:35] <kola911> to help ubuntu | |
| [15:38] <dpm> kola911, sure. We generally recommend Python for new app developers, but if you're now new and are experienced in Java already, you can of course submit a Java app | |
| [15:39] <dpm> Check out http://developer.ubuntu.com/get-started/ | |
| [15:39] <dpm> and http://developer.ubuntu.com/publish | |
| [15:39] <kola911> thnxx | |
| [15:48] <kola911> dpm cant I get involved in group based projects or application development ? | |
| [16:02] <dpm> kola911, I would recommend you to read http://developer.ubuntu.com/get-started/ and the information on the site. It should teach you how to use collaborative tools such as Launchpad to develop your app and get other people to contribute | |
| [16:05] <kola911> thnx a lot | |
| [16:05] <kola911> I got it :) | |
| [16:16] <dpm> cool :-) | |
| [18:16] <pavolzetor> hi, could you help me about IPC in ubuntu | |
| [18:16] <pavolzetor> I use dbus, but how do people figure out sync? | |
| [18:17] <pavolzetor> for example, when I call method, find_girl(), which return name, I will not get same thing through signal | |
| [18:22] <pavolzetor> is it better to prevent service to send signals while it is adding feeds? | |
