06:24:33 <pa_7616> G'day. Is there any way to store app updates elswehere instead of having them deleted from the temp directory every time?
06:25:05 <JohnTHaller> Not at present. But that is in the feature queue and will be in an upcoming release.
06:25:11 *** pa_7616 is now known as Fangles
06:26:15 <Fangles> Thanks John. I remember asking for this 8 months ago but forgot. Just got out of hospital so brain doesn't work:):)
06:26:51 <JohnTHaller> Sure thing. "Ability to save installers for later use" is on the list: http://portableapps.com/node/28593
06:27:39 <Fangles> I have 200gig bandwidth where my friends do not so I like to collect for them and hand it to them. Mind you, half the bandwidth is offpeak darn it
06:28:32 *** GordCaswell (~GordCaswe@unaffiliated/ve4jhj) has joined #portableapps
06:29:34 <Fangles> Thanks John, read your list. Look forward to it sometime.
06:29:42 <GordCaswell> JohnTHaller: FYI: Scribus Portable 1.4.0 RC6 fully supports the platform fonts.
06:30:16 <JohnTHaller> Ah, good to know. I still need to do a GIMP update to add support. Or did I do that already?
06:30:19 <JohnTHaller> Tired brain
06:30:32 <JohnTHaller> Did just put this up: http://portableapps.com/platform/features
06:30:45 <Fangles> have mine, the surgeons did evil things to me so te brainw asn't used then:)
06:30:52 <JohnTHaller> And we're finalizing the new homepage graphics now.
06:31:04 <JohnTHaller> Fangles: You doing ok now?
06:31:19 <GordCaswell> I don't recall. No worries, just noticed it was mentioned.
06:32:38 <Fangles> Not really, they ripped out my prostate and then told me they didn't get it all. Very complicated but with luck, I might still live a long life (I hope)
06:32:39 <GordCaswell> John: when the platform is auto-updated to 10, is the music included? Or would that need to be installed over top to get it?
06:33:25 <JohnTHaller> I haven't decided for sure yet. Likely it will not be included (don't want to force people to use 7MB of bandwidth). Thoughts?
06:34:13 <GordCaswell> I don't mind having to install over top, just curious. I agree, no need for it to be included, those that want it can get it easily enough

07:36:38 <kAlug> howdy JohnTHaller
07:36:42 <JohnTHaller> hola
07:40:31 <kAlug> I had an idea to solve our multiple-apps-with-PuTTY problem: building a custom (very few changes) version of it.
07:42:04 <JohnTHaller> can't discuss atm. busy with releases
07:42:32 <kAlug> Yeah. I can see. Just mentioning it.
07:43:50 <JohnTHaller> Ok, 10.0 announcement is up: http://portableapps.com/news/2011-12-08_-_portableapps.com_platform_10.0_released

07:51:21 <kAlug> JohnTHaller: I don't think this is correct: "and *our* going to be switching to our new monthly release cycle".
07:51:58 <JohnTHaller> fixed
07:56:27 <kAlug> Hmm... when upgrading, the Platform checks for another running instance too quickly. It opens a "close the running Platform then click OK" dialog.
07:57:02 <JohnTHaller> Didn't happen in my testing
07:58:30 <kAlug> Maybe it depends on the system load. Makes sense.
07:59:56 <JohnTHaller> Drop a note on the bug page, please. I'm gonna check it out tomorrow. Writing a press-release at the moment, though

15:14:28 <ZachThibeau> the updater takes care of upgrading the platform
15:14:50 <ZachThibeau> other applications and data remain intact

15:26:15 <Gizmokid2005> that's the point of it :)
15:26:30 <george2> I thought so.
15:27:08 <agdurrette> Only reason I got one
15:27:22 <george2> That's really the only reason I'd consider getting it, is because I know and trust PA. I've never heard of this "customusb" thing.
15:27:34 <agdurrette> I have 2 that I dont use now

15:30:04 <george2> That's really all I use mine for, besides a few bootable linux distros.
15:34:23 <george2> Thanks for the info, and congrats on the new releases. I'm looking forward to seeing portableapps.com grow.

20:51:52 <kAlug> Calm. Far too calm, even.
20:52:05 <JohnTHaller> What do you mean?
20:54:11 <kAlug> I'm bored. Nothing to do.
20:54:22 <kAlug> By the way, congratulations for PortableApps.com's Birthday!
20:54:31 <JohnTHaller> What do you want to be doing? Making apps? Watching movies?
20:55:59 <JohnTHaller> Oh wow, I didn't even notice. Thanks :)
20:56:59 <vf2nsr> Going to have to have some cake with the tea tonight when you do the server stuff lol
20:58:07 <JohnTHaller> I'll hopefully be sleeping. I only slept from 5:40 to 9:20 last night... well, this morning, actually.
20:58:40 <vf2nsr> I can imagine you been busy
20:58:56 <vf2nsr> lots of exciting things going on
20:58:56 <JohnTHaller> I'm not so good with the all-nighters anymore.
20:59:31 <JohnTHaller> Yeah. And the moment I feel a little relief, I think about all the work left to do. Heh. Like fixing the newsletter sender so I can let everyone else know about the release tonight.
20:59:31 <vf2nsr> Son=me how I have found it takes more and more caffeine as I get older to pull all nighters
20:59:33 <kAlug> I thought on making a post like this one ( http://portableapps.com/node/4166 ) but I dismissed it when I realized you were going to release v10 in the same date.
21:00:19 <vf2nsr> was it me or did last newsletter not come in html rahter it showed all the html script
21:00:21 <JohnTHaller> kAlug: I didn't even plan it. Kinda an odd coincidence that the big release getting the platform back on track happened on our bday.
21:00:47 <JohnTHaller> vf2nsr: It was everyone. The test version sent out just fine. But the mailer messed up the actual send. Buggy drupal module.
21:01:52 <vf2nsr> JohnTHaller: no worreis :)
21:03:28 <JohnTHaller> You guys like the new theme btw
21:03:30 <JohnTHaller> ?

21:21:03 <gluxon> It's a happy day in PortableApp land :)
21:21:28 <JohnTHaller> hola gluxon. It is indeed :)
21:22:41 <gluxon> JohnTHaller: So, what release/naming system has the Platform settled on?
21:23:00 <JohnTHaller> 10, 11, 12, etc
21:23:30 <gluxon> So, we're just continuing from 10?
21:23:30 <JohnTHaller> The first beta of 11 will be later this month and stable next month. Gonna do a new version about every month.
21:23:54 <JohnTHaller> Yup. Already did a 10.0.1 to fix part of the find as you type issue.
21:24:15 <gluxon> JohnTHaller: I'm really happy that you released it this morning too, instead of around midnight :)
21:24:23 <ZachThibeau> howdy JohnTHaller
21:24:51 <JohnTHaller> Well, I was up all night doing it :)
21:24:54 <JohnTHaller> hi ZachThibeau
21:25:00 <ZachThibeau> how's things?
21:26:08 <gluxon> Oh, and that laptop at WorldsBestFlashDrive.com is the DV6000, right?
21:27:38 <JohnTHaller> ZachThibeau: Busy and sleepy
21:27:46 <ZachThibeau> hmm I can imagine
21:27:50 <JohnTHaller> gluxon: I'm not sure. I think so. The CustomUSB guys took the picture.
21:28:26 <ZachThibeau> I've been a little busy myself working on getting the new layout for the PChat homepage running and looking good
21:28:26 <gluxon> Ah. I was wondering, since that's the laptop I'm running now :P
21:31:23 <kAlug> Hey folks, what about this? http://temp.kalug.net/PortableApps.com%20Community%20Ad%202.png ? A bit of extra promotion for PA.c :)
21:33:11 <gluxon> kAlug: 1. The theme is outdated, but I guess you know that already. 2. Use the official PortableApps.com branding text logo 3. I would lighten the dark red and apply a light blur
21:33:30 <gluxon> It looks amazing regardless though :D
21:33:58 <gluxon> Is this for that ad competition?
21:35:34 <kAlug> Yep. But it's not exactly a competition. It's just a matter of being voted enough (and a person can vote multiple times).
21:36:13 <JohnTHaller> For anyone curious why screen reader compatibility and keyboard navigation didn't land in 10.0: http://portableapps.com/news/2011-12-08_-_portableapps.com_platform_10.0_released#comment-187336
21:42:07 <kAlug> gluxon: Include the slogan?
21:43:21 <gluxon> kAlug: That's up to you :)
21:53:34 <kAlug> JohnTHaller: do you have some time to review a text I'm writing about PortableApps.com?
21:54:27 <JohnTHaller> I can try :)

21:56:49 <kAlug> gluxon: http://temp.kalug.net/PortableApps.com%20Community%20Ad%203.png
21:57:35 <gluxon> kAlug: Nice! :D
21:57:35 <JohnTHaller> kAlug: watch your margins in that graphic. the text coming too close to the edge makes it hard to read
21:59:25 <kAlug> Yeah, I already tried to fix it...
21:59:44 * kAlug would like that the GIMP had a 'margin' CSS attribute
22:00:33 <JohnTHaller> kAlug: Seems like a good intro
22:01:47 <ZachThibeau> yeah looking pretty good so far
22:02:50 <kAlug> JohnTHaller: Actually, that's the second part. The first is an intro to portable applications in general: http://portableapps.com/node/29866
22:05:49 <gluxon> kAlug: Is more complicated than simply resizing the text?
22:06:22 <kAlug> I just changed the size of the font. Reload the image.
22:06:44 <kAlug> I wanted to keep the same size, but I think it's still good.
22:17:45 <kAlug> So, is that image good enough?
