[12:04:17 EDT(-0400)] <jessm> isn't bos in the big smoke this week?
[12:06:36 EDT(-0400)] <athena> no idea (smile)
[12:06:48 EDT(-0400)] <athena> he spent a while giving me crap about my nick at jasig though
[12:07:02 EDT(-0400)] <jessm> ah, the '7'
[12:07:20 EDT(-0400)] <jessm> i always assumed it was a mark of doing good
[12:07:26 EDT(-0400)] <athena> lol
[12:07:35 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> bos is smoking what this week?
[12:07:36 EDT(-0400)] <athena> well, that and athena was taken
[12:07:59 EDT(-0400)] <jessm> ecochran: he's in Toronto – not sure what he's smoking – don't think he smokes (wink)
[12:08:22 EDT(-0400)] <jessm> athena: so how, then, did you wrangle athena away?
[12:08:29 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> I'm a little sleepy this morning with the time change, I was easily amused by your comment
[12:08:37 EDT(-0400)] <athena> asked the freenode staff nicely (smile)
[12:08:51 EDT(-0400)] <athena> they have a policy allowing nicks that haven't been used in a long time to be dropped
[12:08:56 EDT(-0400)] <jessm> cool
[12:09:00 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i just hadn't bothered until now
[12:09:57 EDT(-0400)] <athena> time changes are no fun
[12:10:17 EDT(-0400)] * athena is just glad she didn't trip over herself at the gym this morning

[13:19:35 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> fj4000: I just noticed that I too could not change text size in the Uploader in IE6 as well. Wondering if this is an FSS problem?
[13:20:01 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> this is in reference to Laurel mentioning problems changing size on the fluid web site with IE6
[13:20:28 EDT(-0400)] <fj4000> im thinking its a reset issue
[13:20:34 EDT(-0400)] <fj4000> but I will dive in a little later
[13:20:41 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> thanks
[13:20:50 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> Uploader will be a good test case for you
[13:21:01 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> happens on build.fluidproject.org
[13:21:09 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> fj4000: ^
[13:21:13 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> let me know
[13:23:58 EDT(-0400)] <athena> by the way, someone might want to update the example dropWarning entry on http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Layout+Reorderer+API to indicate that it needs to be an actual element rather than a selector
[13:24:31 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i think similar documentation is on the other reorderer pages as well
[13:30:52 EDT(-0400)] * apetro (n=apetro@wsip-98-174-242-39.ph.ph.cox.net) has joined #fluid-work
[13:31:57 EDT(-0400)] <anastasiac> athena, thanks for the pointer!
[13:32:09 EDT(-0400)] <athena> sure (smile)
[13:32:17 EDT(-0400)] <anastasiac> Actually, if it needs to be an element, that might be a bug, I'll have to check why it's that way...
[13:32:31 EDT(-0400)] <athena> no, it really does need to be an element
[13:32:58 EDT(-0400)] * laurelw (n=Laurel@142.150.154.178) has joined #fluid-work
[13:32:59 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i was confused at first, but antranig pointed out that most of the time your drop warning element won't actually be inside the reorderer container
[13:33:10 EDT(-0400)] <athena> so it the code won't be able to find it as a selector within that container
[15:18:28 EDT(-0400)] <fj4000> ecochran, laurelw: so, it seems the text sizing issue is based in the fluid.reset.css file
[15:18:59 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> fj4000: hmm, what was causing it?
[15:19:02 EDT(-0400)] <fj4000> resetting the base font size locks it down
[15:19:15 EDT(-0400)] <fj4000> so we reset it to 13px
[15:19:22 EDT(-0400)] <fj4000> which then, it seems, locks that # in
[15:19:30 EDT(-0400)] <laurelw> ah
[15:19:36 EDT(-0400)] <fj4000> even though everything else is using ems
[15:20:06 EDT(-0400)] <laurelw> ok...so um...is this an fss "bug" or an fss feature
[15:20:06 EDT(-0400)] <fj4000> maybe I can modify this further to include a special IE text rule
[15:20:16 EDT(-0400)] <fj4000> well, its doing what its supposed to
[15:20:28 EDT(-0400)] <laurelw> just not what we wanted it to do
[15:20:29 EDT(-0400)] <fj4000> its just indesirable in IE6
[15:20:54 EDT(-0400)] <fj4000> I will see if there is a workaround for IE6
[15:21:26 EDT(-0400)] <laurelw> ok thx for looking into this - it was driving me batty
[15:21:59 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> fj4000: good to know
[15:22:42 EDT(-0400)] <fj4000> sigh modern zoom techniques make this problem look ancient
[15:48:25 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> OK, I just noticed that jQuery UI 1.7 was released on Friday. Anyone played with it yet?
[15:48:43 EDT(-0400)] <athena> no, although i was wondering if you all had any thoughts on that
[15:49:30 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i think EricDalquist and i have tentatively proposed releasing uPortal 3.1 with jQuery UI 1.6rc6 with the patch applied for that datepicker widget jQuery-referencing error i found
[15:50:14 EDT(-0400)] <athena> part of me would rather be on a real GA release, but as we're really close to the release i'm hesitant to switch over in case there are any compatibility issues, either with our code or with fluid 0.8
[15:50:43 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> athena: makes sense to be cautious
[15:51:07 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> as with any big release you can expect a few hiccups
[15:51:11 EDT(-0400)] <athena> yeah
[15:51:31 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i should probably take a look at the bug fix list between 1.6rc6 and 1.7
[15:51:36 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> I would expect us to move forward to 1.7 with Fluid 1.0 which unless there are big problems
[15:51:40 EDT(-0400)] <athena> have you looked at 1.7 at all yet?
[15:51:43 EDT(-0400)] <athena> yeah that definitely makes sense
[15:51:47 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> which is the end of the month
[15:51:48 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> soon
[15:52:01 EDT(-0400)] <athena> oh i didn't realize the 1.0 release was so soon
[15:52:17 EDT(-0400)] <athena> are you anticipating a lot of changes from 0.8?
[15:52:45 EDT(-0400)] <jessm> athena: http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Infusion+1.0+Wish+List
[15:52:54 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> thanks jessm!
[15:52:54 EDT(-0400)] <athena> thanks jess
[15:53:01 EDT(-0400)] <jessm> (smile)
[15:53:02 EDT(-0400)] <jessm> jinx
[15:53:30 EDT(-0400)] <athena> lol
[15:53:53 EDT(-0400)] <colinclark> we'll definitely pick up 1.7 and the latest jQuery for 1.0
[15:53:59 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i think we'd talked about trying to add the UI Options to a soon-but-not-3.1.0 release of uPortal
[15:54:25 EDT(-0400)] <colinclark> Which reminds me that i think i've found a fairly major bug in jQuery UI's ARIA support, at least in 1.6rc6.
[15:54:31 EDT(-0400)] <colinclark> athena: That'd be amazing.
[15:54:40 EDT(-0400)] <athena> and dwills and i have talked about trying to get the uploader into the new import/export portlet
[15:54:48 EDT(-0400)] <colinclark> oh yes. super cool
[15:54:50 EDT(-0400)] <athena> yeah colinclark, i think that'd be cool
[15:55:03 EDT(-0400)] <colinclark> athena: hey, you've dropped the 7!
[15:55:14 EDT(-0400)] <colinclark> I barely recognized you. (tongue)
[15:55:17 EDT(-0400)] <athena> lol
[15:55:25 EDT(-0400)] * athena preens
[15:55:47 EDT(-0400)] <colinclark> (smile)
[15:55:48 EDT(-0400)] <athena> yes, i got the other athena dropped off after bosmon gave me a hard time
[15:56:17 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> I bow before the one true athena
[15:56:25 EDT(-0400)] <athena> hurrah!
[15:56:27 EDT(-0400)] <athena> (smile)
[15:56:47 EDT(-0400)] <athena> so colinclark, i don't know if you've got time at some point to talk more about some twitter-portlet integration
[15:57:05 EDT(-0400)] <colinclark> i would love to, yes
[15:57:09 EDT(-0400)] <colinclark> i've got a meeting in like 3 minutes
[15:57:11 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i took a closer look at what we'd actually need to be able to implement the strategy EricDalquist and i talked about before
[15:57:17 EDT(-0400)] <athena> yeah, i didn't mean this instant (smile)
[15:57:24 EDT(-0400)] <colinclark> but we should definitely talk about it
[15:57:25 EDT(-0400)] <colinclark> (smile)
[15:57:43 EDT(-0400)] <athena> sounds good
[16:05:03 EDT(-0400)] <athena> uhoh, better leave
[16:05:11 EDT(-0400)] * athena forgot to go to the post office and mail off her taxes

[16:38:22 EDT(-0400)] <michelled> jessm: I've kidnapped fj4000 and bosmon
[16:38:47 EDT(-0400)] <jessm> michelled: shhhhh, i won't tell anyone
[16:38:50 EDT(-0400)] <jessm> carry on!

[16:44:08 EDT(-0400)] <fj4000> jessm: i broke free
[16:47:42 EDT(-0400)] <jessm> wondered if we are waiting until after 1.0 for more fabulous jacob-fied images for http://fluidproject.org/getinvolved/
[16:48:56 EDT(-0400)] <athena> the bug is so cute!
[16:51:22 EDT(-0400)] <fj4000> jessm: for sure, I was thinking I would have a minute after 1.0 to do a pass on those
[16:51:23 EDT(-0400)] <fj4000> also
[16:51:44 EDT(-0400)] <fj4000> I was noticing the style of the site is slowly moving away from the hand drawn imagery
[16:51:48 EDT(-0400)] <fj4000> do you like this?
[16:51:53 EDT(-0400)] <jessm> fj4000: cool – consider this a reservation for your time after 1.0 for more fabulousness
[16:52:09 EDT(-0400)] <jessm> fj4000: we can address that anew in april
[16:52:13 EDT(-0400)] <fj4000> ok
