14:16.24freemangordonPali: that one http://repository.maemo.org/pool/fremantle/nokia-binaries/4bc37c7c77ebe90177c050b805a8dc79/nokia-binaries/r/rtcom-accounts-ui/rtcom-accounts-plugin-jabber_4.140-1%2b0m5_armel.deb ?
14:18.13freemangordonPali: 18.6 k ARM binaray, I guess not that hard
14:46.07*** join/#neo900 vakkov (~vakkov@134.83.207.19)
15:53.46Palifreemangordon, yes last version of rtcom-accounts-plugin-jabber deb package
15:54.05Paliand probably more parts of code could be same as rtcom-accounts-plugin-gtalk

18:46.07DocScrutinizer05x29a: we fixed some major issues, could you run another test please?
18:46.35DocScrutinizer05particularly we fixed the "missing payment method -> no email" issue
18:46.42DocScrutinizer05or we hope we did
18:46.54DocScrutinizer05kudos to dos1 for it

18:53.28DocScrutinizer05there's also the misleading "tax incl."
18:53.48DocScrutinizer05which should be "not taxed"
18:54.03wpwrak... after hunting down and killing countless others, "like me on fb", "our best-selling products", "mail to a friend", "show customers on a global map", "subscribe to [yet another] newsletter", ...
18:54.45DocScrutinizer05prestashop, 'great'¡
18:55.04wpwrakyes, the tax thing may need some further consideration
18:55.22DocScrutinizer05lemme try to kill it the usual way
18:56.06wpwrak(usual) "a man in a dark parka has been seen near the tax office at the time of the molotov cocktail attack" ? :)
18:56.51DocScrutinizer05"a hacker with nasty tooling has been seen near the prestashop 'translations' database"

20:37.06DocScrutinizer05sorry?
20:37.29DocScrutinizer05aaah
20:37.55jonsgeroh 990 EUR + x :(
20:37.55DocScrutinizer05we don't want all that fancy stuff siply to reduce the workload to *fix* it
20:38.19DocScrutinizer05I raher hope -x, but yes, that's what USD exchange gave us
20:39.59DocScrutinizer05very sorry about it
20:40.26jonsgerso my graphic card has to live longer ^^
20:40.43DocScrutinizer05:-) that's a fine spirit
20:41.03DocScrutinizer05EUR/USD killed off a 30% of our calculations
20:41.20DocScrutinizer05~700*1.3
20:41.20infobot910
20:41.57DocScrutinizer05add on top the 1GB chip and a few unforeseen expenses
20:42.23DocScrutinizer05the >32GB eMMC etc
20:43.42jonsgeryes, but your luck is that you haven't a real competitor ^^
20:43.48DocScrutinizer05there's still hope for better price, when we can sell significantly >1500 devices
20:45.12DocScrutinizer05iirc my numbers (or rather Werner's, kudos for his evaluation work), we might go down a 150 or even 200 when we for example would sell 3000 units
20:57.06DocScrutinizer05afk, brinner pending
20:57.17DocScrutinizer05~brinner
20:57.25DocScrutinizer05duh
20:57.38DocScrutinizer05~brinner is breakfast at dinner time
20:57.38infobotDocScrutinizer05: okay
21:03.05freemangordonPali: yes, about 50% of the code is same
21:22.19wpwrakOksana: i guess if we'd randomize and quantize the data, it may actually be "safe" :) not sure if it would actually be permissible under german law, though. they have some funny laws there, regarding "personal data"
21:35.41*** join/#neo900 xes (~xes@unaffiliated/xes)
21:36.06DocScrutinizer05@everybody: please don't send money now until we open shop. Only use shop to do payments! Thanks!
21:37.31DocScrutinizer05rationale: we already have processed all payments up to this point and will send out vouchers for them. However any new payment _not_ done via shop will fall off this list since the list is already prepared
21:38.03DocScrutinizer05and there won't be a payment record in shop database either
21:39.01DocScrutinizer05so please just postpone payments another 1 or two days
21:39.23DocScrutinizer05thanks :-)
21:41.12DocScrutinizer05@Otto: don't worry, I'll sort out your payment manually :-D
21:41.44specingDid you accept payments in eur only?
21:42.04DocScrutinizer05I guess paypal accepts whatever you want
21:42.23DocScrutinizer05for bank money transfer I dunno
21:42.33specingbut they are stored in eur?
21:42.36DocScrutinizer05yes
21:42.43specingwell that is bad idea
21:42.48DocScrutinizer05well
21:43.15DocScrutinizer05now converting it to USD is probably an even worse idea
21:43.52specingmaybe
21:44.07DocScrutinizer05but yes, we probably might consider what's the best moment for conversion of currencies
21:44.41DocScrutinizer05for USD->EUR now is a better moment than 12 months ago
21:46.22DocScrutinizer05so *if* we had _not_ converted payments from USD to EUR a 12 months ago, we now would see a better exchange rate for that, and we wouldn't suffer the worse EUR->USD exchange rate on sourcing
21:46.59DocScrutinizer05well ... *IF*
21:47.20DocScrutinizer05I'm no investment banker
21:48.23DocScrutinizer05anyway, thanks for mentioning it. It's actually something we should consider if we can improve our procedures
21:48.58specingyou are buying components in usd, right?
21:49.04DocScrutinizer05usually, yes
21:49.16specingI'd advise just keeping the funds in usd, then
21:49.24DocScrutinizer05yep, thanks
21:49.45DocScrutinizer05we'll check how to implement that
21:50.06specingI wonder if it would be possible to have an account in which you can store all currencies
21:50.15DocScrutinizer05dunno
21:50.20DocScrutinizer05never checked so far
21:50.33DocScrutinizer05I +think* at least paypal allows such option
21:50.36specingprobably costs $$$ for no valid reason whatsoever
21:51.06specingthis would be better because you avoid conversions until you actually need to buy something
21:51.36DocScrutinizer05then for several reasons we don't want to keep huge amounts of funds in PP account
21:51.44specingits all 1% here, 3% there, 10% everywhere
21:51.45DocScrutinizer05they could get blocked, killing our business
21:51.54specingand then you are out of funds and have to close shop
21:52.05specingtrue
21:53.15DocScrutinizer05anyway, brinner still pending. afk. thanks again

22:04.47wpwrakwhat one usually does is open one account per currency. mixed-currency accounts would be weird.
22:06.03DocScrutinizer05and messy to handle
22:06.48wpwrakalso, i would expect that most of out payments for components would be in EUR, right ? i.e., if GC sources most of the things, they'll probably bill us in EUR even if they themselves pay some things in USD
22:07.31DocScrutinizer05yes, that's likely
22:07.41DocScrutinizer05we should ask them
22:08.25wpwrakand if an operation has enough in- and outbound transfers in different currencies, which GC probably does, they may simply be their own exchange house and just move bookings between accounts, without actually exchanging money
