ambvanyone alive up here?11:58
ambvcool to know my talk's been accepted but there are some unicode related glitches in my name on http://www.europython.eu/talks/speakers/ where do I report that?11:59
ambvI'm also like appearing twice ;)12:00

paul_boddieambv: Any problems with your name - or, rather, other people's problems with Unicode ;-) - can be reported to the europython-improve list, or even to the europython list. I think they know about the problem but haven't fixed the underlying issue, though.13:40
ambvpaul_boddie: the weird thing is that some people do have proper accents in their names and descriptions.13:40
paul_boddieambv: I don't know how they process the submissions. It's a Django app which then stores stuff as pickles, or something like that. Maybe someone resubmitted the talk a different way, and perhaps more than once.13:48
ambvStrange design, let me tell you. OK, I will bug the mailing lists then.13:48
paul_boddieIt is odd. The idea is supposed to be that everything is deliberately simple, but sometimes that can be a limitation.14:00
paul_boddieSimple is not always simple, as I just found out trying to edit the last blog entry and post comments. Lots of weird multiple encoding going on there: apostrophe shouldn't end up as "'" in the actual Web page.14:30
*** MrTopf has joined #europython16:09
MrTopfHi! What again was the number one had to call for phone registration? I have one pending for quite some time because I don16:12
MrTopf't have the number16:12
MrTopfand forgot to ask actually..16:12
MrTopfand do I need some reference number? do you get one per email or do you get an email at all in case of phone registration? because I cannot find that email16:13
MrTopfok, I found the email with the ref number. But I am still missing a phone number.16:18

paul_boddie+44 (0)121 313 3857 according to the booking help page.17:18
MrTopfI found this in the meanwhile, thanks :) (and called)17:36
MrTopfIt would be easier if you could book multiple people on the same credit card17:36
paul_boddieI guess so.17:42
paul_boddieSelf-service is all very well, but it does eliminate some use-cases.17:42
MrTopfsure but that's IMHO a quite common one and it can't be too hard to store card holder name and delegate name separately17:43
paul_boddieI think this conversation happens every year. :-/17:44
MrTopfI cannot remember the need to call somebody to pay17:44
MrTopffrom last year17:44
MrTopfoh, I was there on my own, that's why ;-)17:45
paul_boddieYes, this takes it to another level. :-)17:45
MrTopfit's just the easier is the more people will come17:45
MrTopfbut anyway, now we are hopefully registered17:46
paul_boddieGreat!17:46
_dboddieMrTopf: Have you been in Berlin recently?18:21
MrTopfin March18:35
_dboddieMrTopf: OK. I was on the outskirts of Berlin last week and saw someone who looked a bit like you. :-)18:38
MrTopfheh, no :)18:38
*** ambv has quit IRC19:12
MrTopfcool stuff at Google IO conf. I need to do more HTML519:27
_dboddieLightning talk material for EuroPython... :-)19:31
MrTopfbut it would be HTML and JS, not Python ;-)19:47
_dboddieJust enough time to get on and off stage before people start throwing fruit. :-)19:49
MrTopfactually I am starting to like JavaScript20:04
MrTopfI am also thinking about maybe using it on the server side20:04
MrTopfhelps with annoying context switches20:04
