Do the newer nightlies work for you? 16:01:26 <flo> we changed the linux build machine to use the same platform as Mozilla 16:07:35 <Chaz6> I'll grab it now and see 16:09:07 <Chaz6> flo: yep, works! Thanks a lot 16:09:21 <flo> np, thanks for reporting the issue ;) 16:09:23 <Chaz6> By the way, instantbird is the first app i've been able to get working with thinapp and wine 16:09:45 <Chaz6> I dont need it but i tried it anyway 16:12:25 <Chaz6> I dont suppose you have twitter or something? 16:13:21 <flo> I don't use it (yet) 16:13:38 <flo> but I 'own' both the "fqueze" and "instantbird" twitter account. 16:13:48 <Chaz6> I'll add them then 16:13:51 <instantbot> New Websites - buildbot bug 282 filed by tymerkaev@gmail.com. 16:13:52 <instantbot> tymerkaev@gmail.com added attachment 254 to bug 282. 16:13:54 <instantbot> Bug https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=282 nor, --, ---, nobody, UNCO, Instantbird "latest-trunk" version on ftp show 0.2b1pre nightly builds 16:14:11 <Troy> hi flo 16:14:15 <flo> hi 16:14:19 <Chaz6> I'm still waiting for twitter to clean up inactive accounts :/ 16:14:29 <Chaz6> They don't follow their own policy 16:14:43 <flo> you mean they should get me out of these 2 accounts? :-P 16:15:02 <Chaz6> No no, i want to get @chaz6 which has been inactive for over a year 16:15:13 <Chaz6> So i'm using chaz_6 now 16:15:19 <flo> ok 16:15:36 <flo> by the way, any good twitter client that I can use until Instantbird supports it correctly? 16:16:14 <Chaz6> There's loads to choose from, whatever works best i guess, i do most of my tweets with a command line python script 16:16:32 <Chaz6> Too bad twitter doesn't have an xmpp gateway any more 16:17:03 <flo> hmm 16:17:15 <flo> I guess hacking quickly an extension for Instantbird wouldn't be too hard 16:17:45 <Chaz6> There's microblog-purple which seems to work wel 16:19:50 <flo> I compiled it once for Linux. I don't remember which issue I had with it, but it wasn't great 16:24:38 <flo> I tried to document the 'release process' so that we can quickly make sure the next times that we haven't forgotten anything: http://wiki.instantbird.org/Instantbird:release_process 16:29:26 <Chaz6> Hm, i installed the msn smilies but they dont show up in the main table of the emoticons tab 16:30:38 <Chaz6> I tried ":)" in a message window, no icon either 16:31:29 <flo> maybe that theme needs to be updated to use "textCodes" instead of "texts" 16:36:19 <Chaz6> Every now and then I see "CRITICAL **: msn_slp_sip_recv: assertion `slpcall != NULL' failed" 16:36:28 <Chaz6> It seems to be harmless 16:37:46 <flo> the msn plugin is harmless until it crashes ;) 16:50:06 <Chaz6> Another odd thing, the vacation theme has started using german instead of english 16:50:28 <Chaz6> The theme names are in german, and the message header has "Ich" instead of "Me" 16:53:16 <flo> was it updated recently? 16:54:45 <Chaz6> I'm not sure, i think i just added it 17:34:50 <DetroitLibertyPenguin> damnit! we tried to make sure the reset of you didn't have to learn German 60 years ago 17:37:21 <-- BinaryOutcast has left #instantbird (LEAVE - http://www.mattatobin.com/) 17:37:27 --> idechix has joined #instantbird 17:42:12 <Troy> fack 17:46:32 <-- flo has quit (Quit: Instantbird 0.2b2pre) 17:54:49 <-- Troy has quit (Quit: See you later!) 18:41:44 * Morian_ is now known as Morian 20:03:09 <Chaz6> CRITICAL **: file /builds/linux/build/purple/libpurple/protocols/msn/slplink.c: line 584 (msn_slplink_process_msg): should not be reached 20:15:20 <-- DetroitLibertyPenguin has quit (Ping timeout) 20:17:29 --> flo has joined #instantbird 20:17:29 * ChanServ sets mode +qo flo flo 20:19:10 --> DetroitLibertyPenguin has joined #instantbird 20:26:29 --> GeekShadow has joined #instantbird 20:31:29 <-- Mitch has quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.85-2009110223 [SeaMonkey 2.0/20091017081335]) 20:44:48 --> tommyd has joined #instantbird 20:45:49 <tommyd> Evening. I guess this question was asked a couple of times here, still, I can't find it in the FAQs: Why another IM client? 20:46:11 <flo> can you try to guess the answer? 20:46:23 <tommyd> boredom? 20:46:32 <tommyd> I mean I've read your roadmap 20:46:42 <flo> is there any satisfying IM client already? 20:46:48 <tommyd> and for 1.0 it says "feature parity with pidgin" 20:46:59 <tommyd> and for 2.0 it says "video / audio" 20:47:20 <flo> we should really scratch that line ("feature parity") 20:47:33 <tommyd> actually I'm quite satisfied with pidgin, so the question arises what you want to do better than pidgin 20:47:46 <tommyd> sure, gtk+ apps look like daemons on win32 20:47:58 <tommyd> but why start with XUL then? 20:48:02 <flo> by the way, read the current roadmap 20:48:04 <flo> http://wiki.instantbird.org/Instantbird:Roadmap 20:48:08 <flo> not the outdated one 20:48:08 <tommyd> and the OSX guys (like me) have Adium anyways 20:48:45 <tommyd> well, yes, this is what I read 20:49:01 <flo> there's no "feature parity" on that page 20:49:02 <tommyd> so again, what is your main drive? 20:49:33 <flo> "why start with XUL then?" for the extensibility. 20:49:46 <tommyd> thats actually the only reason I guessed myself 20:49:59 <flo> but really, if you are happy with Pidgin or Adium or Kopete, that's great and we are not making Instantbird for you. 20:50:02 <tommyd> i thought "its probably easier to write an extension in XUL than one in pidgin" 20:50:25 <flo> think about the people who are *not* happy with pidgin. 20:50:31 <tommyd> its not about me here - its about you 20:50:43 <tommyd> right, I want to know what you're unhappy with pidgin 20:50:51 <tommyd> not that I'm a pidgin affiliate 20:51:04 <tommyd> but I just doesn't get the point when I look at the website 20:52:26 <flo> the extensibility is really important for me (that's what started the project 2 years ago) 20:53:04 <tommyd> ok, than this is the first valid point 20:53:10 <tommyd> what are the other ones? 20:53:51 <tommyd> don't get me wrong - I think everybody who reads, understands and extends Mozilla code is neither a bad guy nor a dumb ass per se 20:54:12 <tommyd> I just think "damn, if these people would just join an existing project, how much could they make it better..." 20:54:24 <flo> there's no existing project 20:54:29 <-- GeekShadow has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client) 20:54:50 <flo> look for a multiplatform IM client (I mean, that really works well on the 3 major OSes), and there's... nothing. 20:55:41 <tommyd> I can think of at least pidgin and kopete, once the KDE guys make proper ports for OSX and Mac 20:56:01 --> GeekShadow has joined #instantbird 20:56:06 <flo> are they easily extensible? 20:56:23 <tommyd> I don't know - but what about making them easier extensible? 20:56:35 <flo> like, rewriting the UI in XUL? 20:57:52 <tommyd> the question arises of course: why do you want to be able to rewrite the ui easily - it is your aim to change it often? 20:58:02 <flo> yes 20:58:35 <flo> I like how Mozilla can iterate quickly on the UI, do cool experiments (look at what Mozilla labs does with things like Ubiquity, ...) 20:59:06 <flo> And I think the IM clients need significant UI improvements. Which we can't get right before testing them (with extensions!) 20:59:28 <tommyd> ok, then I give you guys some time to elaborate and wish you all the best 20:59:50 <tommyd> maybe in a short to mid-term time frame a couple of more (sceptic) people like me will follow and eventually join 20:59:59 <tommyd> thanks for reading and replying! 21:00:04 <flo> heh, by the way, let's take it another way 21:00:15 <flo> what would you love to change in your IM client? 21:00:34 <tommyd> well, maybe I'm too old, but actually not much 21:00:45 <flo> "not much" doesn't mean "nothing" 21:01:05 <tommyd> I'd probably remove all the rtf, emoticons crap and everything else which distracts me from reading / understanding and replying 21:01:13 <tommyd> and, one thing 21:01:37 <tommyd> I'd hack on pidgins xmpp integration, because not getting notified about other people's authorizations sometimes sucks 21:01:45 <flo> :) 21:01:55 <tommyd> but I guess you'll suffer the same because of the libpurple integration 21:02:16 <flo> I'm sure you will find dozens of other minor details that you would like to improve if you could 21:02:52 <tommyd> one last tip: add a "why do we do this?" faq entry and add a few sentences - from you and your colleques 21:02:59 <flo> we see libpurple as a way to start quickly with a lot of protocols. It should not become a constrain. 21:03:10 <tommyd> it might help other people understand what you're doing and why you're doing it 21:03:25 <tommyd> without getting the stamp of "inventing the wheel another time" and / or "copy cats" 21:03:25 <flo> actually, we have a pretty good document on the topic, but unfortunately it's in french :(. 21:03:42 <flo> but yes, I'll thing about adding a page somewhere explaining why this project matters 21:03:53 <tommyd> ... a language I unfortunately do not understand 21:04:00 <flo> of course 21:04:09 <tommyd> thanks for reading again and good night 21:04:20 <flo> good night. Don't hesitate to follow the project ;) 21:05:06 <tommyd> I will, eventually ;) 21:05:10 <-- tommyd has left #instantbird () 21:16:34 <-- Chaz6 has quit (Ping timeout) 21:17:27 --> Chaz6 has joined #instantbird 21:38:02 <instantbot> Check-in: http://hg.instantbird.org/instantbird/rev/c0737335cb8d - Florian Qu?ze - Replace the hack around the sender color in Chat conversations, so that %senderColor% is no longer replaced in conversation content. 21:38:03 <instantbot> Check-in: http://hg.instantbird.org/instantbird/rev/3da25942d2a5 - Florian Qu?ze - Fix some JavaScript strict warnings. 21:59:38 --> Dragonito has joined #instantbird 21:59:50 <Dragonito> Hi there 22:00:16 <flo> hi 22:00:24 <Dragonito> i´m using mac os, the Sign-on at startup doesnt work 22:00:25 <Dragonito> :-) 22:00:46 <flo> what do you mean by "doesn't work"? 22:00:55 <Dragonito> it doesnt sign on 22:01:15 <Dragonito> version 0.2b1 22:01:29 <flo> what do you see in the account manager? 22:01:47 <-- GeekShadow has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client) 22:02:51 --> iLobster has joined #instantbird 22:02:52 <-- iLobster has quit (Quit: iLobster) 22:03:08 <Dragonito> connect, the Sign on Startup checkbox is checked.

The "autojoined channels" field of the account preference is mostly here so that you can remove channels from the list. 22:42:00 <flo> but I agree it's a bad UI ;) 22:42:19 <flo> anyway, I need to sleep...
