07:21.02kblinwow, it's a pygi
07:21.29kblinmorning thebolt
07:21.33pygikblin, :P
07:21.37pygiis it that bad? :D
07:21.48skbohrahello everyone
07:22.08skbohrahow's everyone doing
07:22.44kblinskbohra: already done with my gsoc :D
07:22.59skbohrakblin, wow, cool
07:23.34kblinskbohra: was easy. all I had to do was fail my student at mid-term for not getting his job done
07:23.44skbohrakblin, argh,
07:23.56skbohrathat's bad
07:24.22kblinhe thought he could work on both a real job and gsoc... neither me nor his boss seemed to think so
07:24.45skbohrakblin, that's always almost impossible
07:24.53kblinso my student decided to get fired from gsoc instead of his other job
07:25.10skbohraand wasted one slot
07:25.27skbohraand the work that could be done
07:25.58pygibut kblin can do all that work + some more in twice less time :p
07:26.07pygiright kblin ? :D
07:26.26skbohraone of my friend also withdrew gsoc before midterm
07:26.53kblinI'm not sure how the heck we can make this more clear to people.. it's in the FAQ, it's in our project's FAQ, it's been in our application template...
07:27.29skbohrakblin, you think gsoc will see major changes next year ?
07:28.08kblinpygi: don't have time right now, but I could have gotten as far as my student got in less time than I spend on trying to get him to work on the project
07:28.21kblinskbohra: I don't even know if there'll be a gsoc next year ;)
07:28.49skbohraassuming it happens
07:28.57skbohrawhatever
07:29.02kblinbut supposing there is, I don't see any big changes coming up
07:29.14kblinwe've had this every year so far
07:30.10theboltkblin: sorry you didn't get the 3d asset rendering done this year either
07:30.31theboltis a little bit guilty for that too he guesses..
07:30.53kblinthebolt: well, maybe for next year there's decent webgl support in current browsers
07:31.26theboltkblin: hehe true :)

07:34.35ojwbchanges between gsoc years seem to be evolutionary not revolutionary
07:34.46ojwbwhich makes sense - it all pretty much works
07:38.02kblinagrees
07:38.24kblinthere's always some small issues, but in general it's working just fine
07:39.17kblinthebolt: the saddest part is that there's no open source version of javascripobject now
07:41.00theboltkblin: web development isn't my thing, so no idea what that is :)
07:42.40pygiojwb, we still don't have cookies
07:42.49pygiI've tried to vote for introducing cookies since ... 2006!
07:43.49kblinthebolt: a js-based library that emulates rotatable 3D objects by loading pre-rendered sprites

09:33.56pdelgallegoHi anyone knows how to upload the code?
09:34.38pdelgallegoI mean how to provide google with the copy of my code?
09:35.41ojwbpdelgallego: you'll be told how when the time comes
09:36.04ojwbwhich isn't for several weeks I think - the timeline should say
09:36.10pdelgallegoojwb, but it wasn't today the pencils down deadline?
09:36.27ojwbyes, but it isn't code upload deadline
09:36.40pdelgallegoojwb, ahh, ok I see.
09:36.59ojwbtoday is just the cut off day for work which can be taken into account by your mentor
09:37.10pdelgallegook
09:37.31ojwb"pencils down" is rather a misnoma - you can keep working on it, but it isn't allowed to affect your evaluation
09:38.38pdelgallegoojwb, well I am almost done. so no problem. I just need to wait till the code upload. Fix some bugs, if we find them.
09:40.21theboltno code is ever done, in my experience ;)

10:12.22qrngIn fact, I am trying to work out a deal with forex brokers.
10:13.18pdelgallegoNils^, I did using skype and the US number.
10:13.23qrngMoney transfer itself will be cheaper, also, you get to choose at which rate you are going to convert from USD to EUR (in my case, to DKK).
10:21.33*** join/#gsoc venkatna (~venkatesh@nat/yahoo/x-inxkunuuiyliogce)
10:21.48Nils^qrng: but all people say its not possible to transfer
10:22.01qrngDirectly.
10:22.16qrngYes, it's true.
10:22.18Nils^pdelgallego: I tried the same, but skype says wrong format, I need an international format
10:23.45pdelgallegoNils^, You shoudl change the country  in Skype.
10:23.55qrngPlease note, however, that people in the US can transfer the money without fees to other US banks. Forex brokers can accept money the same way, and this is without fees and them drop the money using bank Drafts.
10:24.18Nils^qrng: about how much loss do you talk here?
10:24.21qrngThis is also, usually, without fees.
10:24.31ojwbmany things are alleged to be impossible by many people, but are actually possible
10:24.47ojwbthough that doesn't mean that something is possible just because many people think it isn't of course
10:25.13pdelgallegoqrng, Did you pay any fee? What bank do you use ?
10:25.18qrngNils^: Practically nothing. The most interchange.co.uk would charge you would be about, umm... 15 pounds.
10:25.34Nils^qrng: and with ATM withdraw?
10:25.59qrngNils^: Whatever the fee set up by the ATM operator + 3% currency conversion?
10:26.06qrngThat's insane.
10:26.17ojwbplus you don't know what rate you'll get until afterwards
10:26.24qrngPrecicely.
10:26.33Nils^qrng: and how far is your project with the broker?
10:26.39qrngWhich is not the case with forex brokers, because you know your rate.
10:27.08ojwband if the rate doesn't sound good, you can try a different day
10:27.12qrngSent them certified id documents, which involved my id card + utility bill.
10:27.16ojwbor set a trigger rate, but the fees are higher for that
10:27.29qrngojwb: <3
10:27.36qrngAnother clear-header person here.
10:27.44qrng*headed
10:27.53pdelgallegoqrng, I have a Danske bank account It is possible to transfer the money there?
10:27.54ojwbwell, I've moved house-sized amounts of money between countries...
10:28.02qrngI simply don't understand your problems with ATMs and other things.
10:28.05ojwbwhich makes doing your research very worthwhile
10:28.31qrngIf you have to move your money internationally, use forex brokers.
10:28.34qrngEnd of the story.
10:28.49qrngThis play with ATMs is for people who don't value their money.
10:29.10Nils^so far I did nothing wrong then :)
10:29.28qrngpdelgallego: Wherever you want, even to Zimbave.
10:29.39qrngAs long, as your bank accepts ANY way to get funds.
10:29.46sjhorqrng: Have you actually transferred anything yet?
10:29.50qrngOf course, some ways cost, and some don't.
10:30.02qrngsjhor: Yes.
10:30.04sjhorqrng: I got confused with all the jargon
10:30.07sjhor:s
10:30.37Nils^qrng: ok, could you tell me what service I could use?
10:30.38valeufqrng: I google on Forex Broker to understand more what you said
10:30.39sjhorand I agree, ATMs are a poor way of transferring money
10:30.55qrngsjhor: THE WORST.
10:30.59qrngAbsolutely.
10:31.23valeufqrng: so if I understand well, you have to open a kind of special account in a Forex Broker company, which allow you after to convert this money on any currency?
10:31.38valeufthen from this special account, you can send the money wherever you want?
10:31.39qrngvaleuf: Precicely, and at your chosen rate, too.

10:31.52qrngvaleuf: Yes, yes, yes, and yes.
10:31.55valeufqrng: wow
10:32.17qrngUsing that AHC or EHC inter-american-bank transfer thingy.
10:32.31ojwbqrng: you should write a howto - you'll be super-popular
10:32.38qrngWhich doesn't cost a cent.
10:32.43sjhorAwesome
10:32.53valeufqrng: but then there is no fee on the transfer between the Forex Broker and your bank account in your home country?
10:32.58qrngojwb: I don't need to be popular.
10:33.18sjhorvaleuf: probably, much less than banks charge for ATMs though
10:33.25qrngvaleuf: Depends on what your home bank accepts. If it accepts bank drafts, you are in luck, because it doesn't cost, too.
10:33.54qrngOr, at least, cost absolutely minimally, because that's the way banks themselves transfer money between them.
10:34.01qrngForex brokers get their share, of course.
10:34.11qrngBut they get their share from spread.
10:34.39valeufqrng: I need to check more about it, but it could be really nice, since I have to transfer money between different country regularly

10:36.27qrngMost of you don't need to know much about that, but healthy awareness of currency exchange would be much in order, I see.
10:36.43qrngIn my case, I am mostly interested in DKK.
10:36.50qrngSo, I want to exchange USD to DKK.
10:36.51valeufqrng: wow wow wow I would not expect such of things exist...
10:37.25valeuffor someone like switching regularly between USD-EUR-KRW with ATM withdraw
10:37.29valeufI feel like I was stupid :p
10:37.37qrngWhich means that at the beginning of July rate was 1:6.02, so if I transferred my money then, I would have got ~30k DKK.
10:37.54qrngIf I transfered my money now, I'd get ~28k DKK.
10:38.03qrngI don't know about you, but 2000 DKK matters.

10:46.17qrngI agree wholeheartedly.
10:46.52qrngNevertheless, without some healthy awareness about money, you'll find yourself thinking about the money (or lack thereof) too much to involve yourself in other fruitful endeavours.

10:53.08qrngSome things are simply WORTH to learn, and their value can be measured precicely.
10:53.43qrngBecause that value is equal to the amount of money that you don't plunder to banks and ATM operators.

11:32.56theboltwell, forming an ltd there takes quite a bit of paperwork and locked capital

18:17.38sjhorlolfrenz: I heard about it for the first time this morning
18:17.55sjhorIt's on slashdot, but that doesn't imply that it's new :p
18:18.08gevaertssjhor: doesn't that rather imply it isn't?

18:28.18kblinit's easier to get accepted on proposals a project already wants to have
