10:45 chris quiet day
10:45 pie   heh
10:45 pie   how's things Chris?
10:50 chris well, i just got my little man back to bed, he's been a bit cranky
10:50 chris so its a lot calmer now :)
10:51 pie   excellent
10:52 pie   are you hacking on anything at the mo?
10:52 chris i was going to play with memcached a little more, but that got derailed by phones and fire engines conspiring to keep waking kahu up
10:53 pie   awesome fun for him though
10:53 chris heh yep
10:53 pie   big red fire engines
10:54 chris ive just been looking at pootle, following a post to the koha-translate list
10:54 chris http://babel.xatahost.com:8080/uk/koha3beta2/uk-UA-i-staff-t-prog-v-3000000.po?translate=1&item=7&pofilename=uk-UA-i-staff-t-prog-v-3000000.po
10:54 chris its pretty neat
11:01 chris we currently use kartouche at translate.koha.org but pootle looks a lot swisher
11:03 pie   do you reckon it'll help speed things up?
11:04 chris the way the russian and ukranian guys have it set up to do their koha translations looks like it would make translating a lot easier
11:07 chris they have cron jobs that generate the templates from the .po files, so the translators can see finished product (or partially finished)
11:08 chris you going to do the perlmongers hackoff?
11:09 pie   yep
11:09 pie   you going?
11:11 chris yep

11:24 pie   one year, a guy on his own won it using c++
11:24 chris prolog :)
11:24 pie   he wanted to prove c++ was not dead and it sure made people sit up :-)
