IRC log of #europython for Thursday, 2008-07-17

zethI was a bit tired to hear the django newforms-admin talk, so good to see again00:00
MrTopfI also need to listen to it, I was partly outside the room when recording it00:00
MrTopfblip.tv pro actually also has the option to convert it to mp300:01
MrTopfwhich might also be sufficient for some talks00:01
MrTopfzeth http://blip.tv/file/108492900:02
zethlovely00:02
zethvery posh intro00:03
zeththis one is good to have video00:03
zethhis accent is quite strong00:03
MrTopfhe also shows some code00:04
MrTopfI wish the video quality would be better00:04
MrTopfbut the light situation is usually not that great at such conferences00:05
xorAxAxhmm, the accent is strong?00:05
MrTopfwhat would be needed would be a very strong projector and some extra lights for the speaker00:05
MrTopfand some wireless mic ;-)00:05
xorAxAxit sounds like an average west coast american to me00:06
MrTopf:-)00:06
xorAxAxwith some eastern european flavor00:06
MrTopfI don't have problems to understand him00:06
MrTopfesp. as I listened to the intro now 10 times because of encoding tests ;-)00:06
zethwell, I can never really understand Americans00:07
zethwould rather have strong french or german00:07
xorAxAxits really nice to discover  participants from non-american locations at american events00:08
zethVery nice work MrTopf00:08
zethvery good video00:08
xorAxAxi think one even often uses such encounters to rant about the american accent00:08
zethlol00:09
*** ccm|mac has quit IRC00:10
zethso yeah, back to before, I think britain should be in schengen00:16
zeththe joke is of course that Britain is not part of it because it wants to control its own borders, but the UK has more liberal borders than anyone else in Europe00:17
zethEuro currency is harder00:17
zethbecause we were basically chucked out of it00:17
xorAxAxat least they are liberal if you are not a dog :)00:19
zethyup00:20
Tvoh that dog policy is kinda funny00:21
zethI thought they had some thing where you can microchip it now?00:21
zethso it doesn't have to go in a cage for six months when you bring a dog in?00:22
Tvi don't think those are related00:22
Tvthe quarantine is for rabies00:22
Tvmicrochips are for identification00:22
Tv(got two dogs with chips, have flown alternate routes to avoid Heathrow)00:22
zethoh right, I know nothing about it00:22
Tvbut like00:22
Tvthe countries that are actually connected to eachother00:23
zethbut I thought if you can prove your dog has only been to non-rabies countries00:23
Tvdo just fine with rabies00:23
zethwell those countries probably have national service00:23
MrTopfthanks zeth :)00:23
zethso you can put teenage slaves on the borders00:23
Tvi'm sure if they did that, the list of non-rabies countries would include UK and Upper Tatzinikistan00:23
zethand have them shoot dogs00:23
MrTopfTv's talk is actually encoding right now00:24
Tvwoo00:24
MrTopfthe git one00:24
MrTopfwell, it wasn't really about git ;-)00:24
MrTopfVersion control one00:25
Tvfigured that would have been a tough sale, for that audience00:25
MrTopfbut at the office so it might go live tomorrow00:25
MrTopfwell, we also use wordpress for the blog ;-)00:25
MrTopfjust use what works00:25
zethwell, not my choice of blog00:25
zethI use a django based blog and it is really nice00:25
Tvmy whole site is docutils rst and some xslt00:27
Tvzeth: mmmm, pyconuk talks about fs api and roast (my rst+xslt+etc software, should be published about then), maybe gitosis (my git hosting management software)00:29
zethsounds great00:34
Tvroast is pretty neat, it's basically a pluggable processing framework00:34
zethmy blog is rst in Django00:34
Tvand by then, it should be all about egg entry points etc00:34
zethcool00:34
Tvuses docutils as a lib, which is also somewhat of an arcane art00:35
Tvadds new directives etc00:35
Tvuses lxml for postprocessing, and does atom via microformats implemented by the xslt00:35
Tvit's pretty nifty ;)00:35
MrTopfas I spend far too much time on video encoding I don't have time to code such things and hence I use wordpress ;-)00:36
MrTopfbut right now I probably spent most of my time discussing architectural things in the pyogp project. Like convining people that using a class as a function library is not a good thing00:38
MrTopffirst video is now on the blog btw00:50
zethcool, well done you01:09
zethhow many recordings have you got?01:09
zethI mean ones to process in the future?01:09
MrTopfactually I don't know right now01:10
MrTopfI need to get those form Carsten01:10
MrTopfand I there are all those lightning talks01:10
MrTopfwith lightning talks, maybe 3001:11
MrTopfwell, I have 30 here, so maybe 40-50 then ;-)01:11
MrTopfglad I know now and know how much work it will be ;-)01:12
MrTopfI should give the keynote some priority though01:12
MrTopfbut quality is rather weak unfortunetaly01:12
xorAxAxwho held the keynote?01:13
xorAxAxguido about py3k?01:13
xorAxAx(in that case you could steal it from another conference where he held that keynote and replace the intro)01:13
zethlol01:14
zethI think we maybe ask guido to talk about something else next year01:14
zethso MrTopf that is like one a week until next Europython ;)01:15
zeththen you get to start again ;)01:15
zethI wanted to make a podcast, maybe I still will, but the editing thing is what puts me off01:19
zethrecording good content is one thing01:19
zethbut then you have to learn a load of stuff about audio01:20
zethwhen you actually are interested in the subject of the podcast01:20
xorAxAxhmm, but its really not hard01:20
xorAxAx(as long as you actually attempt to learn it - most podcasters probably dont)01:21
zethwell I used to play guitar01:22
zethso have basic idea of auido01:22
zethaudio01:22
zethbut digital audio is very different01:23
xorAxAxis it? you basically need headroom :)01:23
zethmaybe yeah01:23
zethpatience or interest to learn it01:23
zethmaybe one day I find a person good at audio and interested in the same topics01:24
xorAxAxbtw, i recommend trying out cool edit/audition01:24
xorAxAxnot FOSS, but easy to use and with a lot of things to try01:24
zethI can make the website, and the other person can edit it01:25
MrTopfzeth: doing a podcast is not that much work.. depends on the tool maybe01:58
MrTopfthen again I should do an episode of mine again01:59
MrTopfmaybe visit some podcamp :)01:59
MrTopflike Podcamp Ireland ;-)01:59
MrTopfseems that those are mostly in the US02:00
MrTopffor Mac OS there's Übercaster which is what I use which is not really a sound editor (but has basic tools for this) but is build around the podcasting workflow02:02
MrTopfhttp://ubercaster.com/02:02
MrTopfI should also upload my photos from EP02:04
MrTopfbedtime, good night everbody02:16
MrTopfoh, and I meant Hans Rosling's keynote ;-)02:16
MrTopfGuido's was recorded by Google I heard02:16
