16:56:05 <kAlug> hi Simeon
16:56:25 <Simeon> hi kAlug
16:56:47 <kAlug> How you doing?
16:57:24 <Simeon> busy.
16:57:51 <Simeon> GeoGebra is what I would heve needed a couple years ago :)
16:58:04 <Simeon> sounds like an interesting app.
17:03:32 <Simeon> Argh! I hate it if Launchpad gives me the time-out-error!
17:04:25 <kAlug> What are you doing in there?
17:06:55 <Simeon> trying to translate stuff.
17:07:37 <kAlug> Ah. I need to start to translate again.
17:07:47 <Simeon> but ubuntus descriptions are in packages that are a bit too big so it times out most of the time when I try to search for something.
17:13:34 <kAlug> Simeon: any ideas on how to show only packages with untranslated strings?
17:13:52 <kAlug> In here: https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+lang/pt_BR
17:14:26 <Simeon> no
17:15:12 <Simeon> if you choosed a pavkage then there is a dropdown list but for the place you linked to I have no idea. and i asked on my translation team's mailinglist.
17:16:38 * Mir beats kAlug and Simeon up with a kitten and drags them into -ot ;)
17:17:13 <kAlug> Alright; gotta do some bsearch on that.
17:17:23 <Simeon> You cant grad me there!8-)
17:17:29 <Simeon> drag
17:18:03 <Mir> but i can beat you with a kitten 8-D
17:18:20 <Simeon> haha

17:48:00 <kAlug> Is there any interest for an app which creates and updates the text for the Beta Testing and Test Releases pages automatically?
17:49:58 <Simeon> how do you plan to update these?
17:50:12 <Simeon> Ah you mean it generates the text from what I enter into a form?
17:50:17 <kAlug> Yep.
17:50:32 <kAlug> If John provides an API, it can even update the page.
17:51:01 <Simeon> I am happy with what I have now.
17:51:21 <Simeon> We arent apple so there isnt an app for everything! ;)
17:53:13 <kAlug> It can get the installer, additional download and final install size, and calculate the installer's MD5 automatically.
17:55:44 <Simeon> wow
17:57:06 <kAlug> This is everything you'll need to provide it with: http://p.kalug.net/7

20:35:34 <pa_8375> how do you remove clear fonts so they don't interfer with gaming
20:41:32 *** george2 (42813f40@gateway/web/freenode/ip.66.129.63.64) has joined #portableapps
20:50:09 <george2> I plan to register a domain name sometime this summer, and put some of my f/oss software on it. I use PA heavily, so I like to develop my apps with a "PA.c Compatible Mode," that stores files in the ../../data dir, etc. I also do not use the registry, or create temp files.
20:50:10 <george2> Once I have my site set up, I hope to submit my Windows GUI apps to PA. How hard is that? Do I just post on the forum somewhere? And I saw in the dev section that developers who submit their apps themselves get "fast-tracked"- what exactly does that mean?
20:57:09 *** Zarggg has quit (Quit: Rebooting client...)
20:59:35 <sar3th> i don't know about "fast-tracked" but yes, you just submit it to the forums for beta testing
21:00:28 <sar3th> pa_8375: i don't understand what your request is, please be more specific and give additional information
21:02:19 <george2> Ok. I saw the fast-tracked thing somewhere in the development section of this site, but I can't remember where, and it may be outdated info.
21:13:38 <sar3th> or it's updated and i am outdated ;)
21:15:21 <george2> John said it here http://portableapps.com/news/2011-12-08_-_portableapps.com_platform_10.0_released#comment-187312, but I can't find where I saw it the first time.
21:16:55 <george2> Oh, and it says how to submit an app right there too. Silly me.
21:17:34 <sar3th> ah, i think that's a 3rd-party rule
21:18:11 <george2> 3rd-party rule?
21:19:06 <sar3th> yeah, for 3rdparty publishers
21:19:12 <sar3th> but that's just a wild guess
21:20:35 <george2> You mean when the publisher is different from the developer?
21:22:14 <george2> I'm not even sure what the difference is there.
21:27:29 <george2> Well, I'm not in any hurry anyway.
21:37:13 *** kAlug (~kalug@187.11.96.170) has joined #portableapps
21:37:49 <kAlug> hi george2
21:39:07 <george2> Hey
21:39:12 <kAlug> george2: 3rd-party release: The app's own developer releases and post a portable version.
21:39:46 <george2> ...I don't get it. Where's the third party? PA.c=1, Me=2.
21:40:22 <kAlug> Was just thinking about it.
21:49:09 <george2> "fast-track"ing isn't really important, I was just curious. I still haven't even decided on a domain name, and I need to finish school first, so it will be at least june before I start anything.

22:07:27 <george2> Here's a screenshot of one of the main tools I'm working on. http://i.imgur.com/ouB3N.png It's a file system forensic analysis tool.
22:07:30 <george2> I hate making GUIs, so if anybody has any suggestions...
22:10:01 <kAlug> Hey folks, which PA.c ad is better: http://meta.superuser.com/a/3987/84549 or http://meta.superuser.com/a/4001/84549 ?
22:11:53 <kAlug> george2: put options below.
22:13:47 <george2> Hm, ok. I'll try that.
22:14:16 <george2> I'm not good any better at art than guis. I like both of those ads.
22:14:53 <kAlug> Oh, and sync the lines in the hex and ASCII views. Add line numbers if possible.
22:15:27 <george2> Yeah, I'm still working on a hexedit-type gui lib to use.
22:17:07 *** PlauSocks|AFK is now known as PlauSocks
22:17:15 <george2> Both the hexdump view and the ascii view can be removed in the app options, mainly because I think it's messy looking.
22:17:38 <kAlug> Most of time both will be needed.
22:18:41 <george2> That's not really the point of the app though. There's plenty of hex editors already. Lemme grab a screenshot of the other part.
22:20:59 <kAlug> OK, but show none or both.
22:23:22 <george2> I like providing options.
22:23:24 <george2> http://i.imgur.com/03OQj.png This is in wine, so it's extra ugly.
22:23:42 <george2> And I totally don't like the current edit controls that display that info.
22:25:37 <george2> But I have no idea what a better way would be.
22:30:12 <kAlug> For the last shot: they're fine. Just align their borders.
22:31:37 <george2> Yeah, that's accidental.
22:31:47 <george2> Thanks for the suggestions.
