| 22:01 | willkg | hi! |
| 23:39 | paulproteus: i just discovered that videos in the New feed aren't ordered by approval time. it sort of makes sense, but it's a bummer i didn't know that weeks ago. | |
| 23:40 | paulproteus | I guess we can document that. |
| 23:40 | willkg | paulproteus: also, if the embed code being used for the videos is a universal subtitles javascript thingy, then the approve/reject page only works for the first item. |
| 23:40 | paulproteus | willkg: !?! re: usubs |
| 23:40 | willkg | paulproteus: so i have to refresh the page after approving the first item in the page. |
| 23:40 | paulproteus | It or we must be doing crazy things to global state (?). |
| 23:40 | willkg | i'm guessing that the usubs stuff is doing stuff on load or something like that. |
| 23:40 | paulproteus | It's never clear to me what the right behavior is re: New Videos |
| 23:41 | willkg | so the ramification of this is that i can only operate on the first video in the page of items. if i operate on another video, i can't test to see if the video is working until i approve the video and then go look at it on the site. |
| 23:41 | also, it's annoying that the box for adding tags covers the description of the video which i'm reading to figure out what tags should be added. | |
| 23:41 | </whining> | |
| 23:45 | working through these pycon 2011 videos is tough. plus once i'm "done", i have to figure out what videos are posted on the site and what ones i missed because blip.tv feeds have a cap of 100 videos. ugh. | |
| 23:46 | paulproteus | willkg: Look, you wanna just make an API? |
| 23:47 | It'd be easy to export data to admins (over e.g. HTTP basic auth for username+password) as JSON about the currently-approved videos. | |
| 23:47 | willkg | paulproteus: yes. i'd love to make an api. i just haven't had time to work it out, yet. |
| 23:47 | paulproteus | I mean, starting with a read-only API for which videos are published/in-queue seems like a good start. |
| 23:48 | It'd be a totally trivial Django thing, too, at the core, with some reasonably simple wrapping. | |
| 23:48 | willkg | totally. that only fixes a minor problem i have, though. |
| 23:48 | most of the problems i have are with changing data. | |
| 23:48 | though... mmm... maybe that's not true. | |
| 23:49 | paulproteus | Hmm. |
| 23:49 | willkg | i don't know. i need to write down my issues and work out what i need. |
| 23:49 | paulproteus | Or you could just start hacking. |
| 23:49 | willkg | also, i'm pissed that cadbury eggs suck now. |
| 23:49 | paulproteus | Wait, they do? |
| 23:49 | That is terrible. | |
| 23:49 | willkg | so totally. they used to be so much better. |
| 23:49 | paulproteus | It's tragic that we don't make it easy for users of the site to start hacking on a dev-server-ified version of their site. |
| 23:49 | willkg | totally random side note is that i'm a cadbury descendent. |
| 23:49 | paulproteus | Egad. |
| 23:50 | Honestly, we should do something like send people chocolate in the mail if they 1) create a dev server version of their site, complete with data, and 2) come up with a patch they want to apply to their version of the code. | |
| 23:50 | In this horrifying massively-scaled web app future, no one has any frickin' control over their software, and it blows. | |
| 23:50 | willkg | but not cadbury chocolate--it blows now. i'm so ultra-disappointed. |
| 23:50 | paulproteus | Wait, even in England? |
| 23:50 | Maybe American Cadbury's just sucks. | |
| 23:51 | In the US I figure they just guess the customers don't know any better. | |
| 23:51 | willkg | so... a while back, cadbury got sold to schweppes. i think it was ok there. now it's just a hershey brand. and it sucks like hershey does. |
| 23:51 | paulproteus | Mmm. |
| 23:51 | willkg | re: england vs. american might have different quality of cadbury chocolate--that's entirely possible. |
| 23:51 | i'm still pissed though. | |
| 23:51 | paroneayea | yeah I remember cadbury eggs having this thick kind of sickeningly sweet nectar cream in there but |
| 23:51 | now it's like, thick sickeningly sweet icing. | |
| 23:52 | willkg | the cadbury chocolate factory was founded on quaker principles about peace and brotherhood and important things. |
| 23:52 | paroneayea | willkg: oh really! |
| 23:52 | willkg | now it's just a commercial brand of junk. |
| 23:53 | paroneayea: totally. the cadbury story is totally wild. next time you're here, have me show you these two cadbury family ancestry tomes i have. | |
| 23:53 | * paulproteus | would be interested. |
| 23:53 | paroneayea | very interesting |
| 23:53 | hm! | |
| 23:54 | willkg | best part of cadbury eggs now is that there are funny blog entries on the internet of people trying to make cakes and omelets out of them. |
| 23:56 | wikipedia is the awesome: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadbury |
