12:07 <popey> How are you?
12:07 <JoeyChan> good  :)
12:08 <JoeyChan> still waiting for the visa
12:09 <JoeyChan> David  report a bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1379726
12:09 <JoeyChan> that may needs c++ code
12:09 <popey> oh, interesting.
12:10 <popey> that would be a great feature to add.
12:10 <popey> I can see value in caching more than just the images. pre-fetching the articles too ?
12:11 <JoeyChan> if the thumbnailer can do this job, that will be easy
12:12 <popey> not sure the thumbnailer can do that..
12:12 <JoeyChan> if not,  means c++ code is needed,   I prefer using c++ to download all images then store them in the database
12:13 <JoeyChan> anyway ...  that will be a complicated work ...
12:15 <popey> as a workaround could we have an option to switch off images completely?
12:17 <JoeyChan> an option that do not let the app download images ?
12:17 <popey> yes
12:17 <popey> only text
12:18 <JoeyChan> in gridview & listview,     yes we can.   but not possible in article view
12:18 <JoeyChan> all contents are displayed in only one "label"
12:20 <JoeyChan> not an easy work to separate images from the content    (╥_╥)
12:20 <popey> hmm
12:21 <JoeyChan> most of the content is html
12:22 <JoeyChan> I suggest that,  if we can get a brand new design
12:22 <JoeyChan> we can build a new one
12:22 <JoeyChan> just like the clock-app
12:24 <JoeyChan> So we can use c++ to re-implement some functions
12:24 <JoeyChan> like the cache
12:25 <popey> I like that idea ☻
12:25 <popey> Start from the ground up?
12:25 <JoeyChan> also the database     (qml database is so............slow)
12:26 <JoeyChan> ground up ?
12:26 <JoeyChan> What is is mean ?       sorry for my bad english
12:26 <JoeyChan> (｢・ω・)｢
12:27 <popey> it basically means "start fresh"
12:27 <popey> i.e. start again from scratch
12:27 <popey> sorry
12:27 <popey> qml database is just sqllite isn't it?
12:28 <JoeyChan> yep,  but it is from HTML standard
12:28 <JoeyChan> much slower than the c++ one
12:29 <popey> right..
12:30 <popey> We could certainly look at alternatives.
12:30 <popey> Something we could look at, at the sprint.
12:30 <popey> I'm a bit worried that your visa hasn't come through yet.
12:30 <JoeyChan> now I have 1k articles in my database, it take more than 5sec to refresh
12:31 <JoeyChan> Yep ... that's a problem
12:31 <JoeyChan> They didn't garrentee any deadline
12:32 <popey> Are you able to contact them and ask for some kind of estimate?
12:33 <JoeyChan> No .. they said that,  applicant can only contact them if one month passed
12:34 <popey> ouch.
12:34 <JoeyChan> (┙>∧<)┙へ┻┻
12:35 <JoeyChan> because tooooooooooooooo many Chinese apply visa
12:36 <popey> It's possible the visa won't arrive in time and you won't be able to come.
12:36 <popey> That's a massive shame.
12:36 <JoeyChan> yep      (╥_╥)
12:38 <popey> Well keep me informed, let me know as soon as you find out.
12:38 <JoeyChan> Of course
12:38 <popey> Ok. anything else we need to discuss?
12:39 <JoeyChan> Nope   :)
12:39 <JoeyChan> just some new bugs
12:41 <popey> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-rssreader-app/+bug/1379716
12:41 <popey> that needs doing...
12:41 <JoeyChan> yep
12:41 <popey> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-rssreader-app/+bug/1377638 should be fairly easy
12:41 <JoeyChan> Roman is working on it
12:41 <popey> great
12:41 <popey> I can create a merge for 1377638
12:42 <JoeyChan> ok
12:42 <popey> I'll assign that task from you to me
12:42 <JoeyChan> pls do, so I can test the thumbnailer
12:43 <JoeyChan> ~^_^~
12:43 <popey> ok
12:44 <popey> ok, anything else?
12:45 <JoeyChan> no , that's all
12:45 <popey> super, thanks JoeyChan
12:45 <popey> Lets hope the visa comes through soon!
12:45 <JoeyChan> yep  :)
12:45 <popey> have a great weekend!
