jelknermr_german, we need your uncle to help get our html standards settled11:41
jelknerthis next few weeks will be the time to do that.11:42
replaceafilljelkner, just replied (dumb reply btw) to your email11:42
replaceafilljelkner, speaking of uncles...11:42
mr_germanjelkner, ok11:42
replaceafillmy niece contacted me yesterday11:42
replaceafillshe wanted me to show you guys this:11:42
replaceafillhttp://nataliacerna.wixsite.com/freelance11:43
replaceafillif i keep bringing more talented relatives to this i should just probably make my own company /sarcasm11:43
replaceafill:D11:43
jelknerDude, you *are* making your own company! ;-)11:44
jelknerNice work.  Now we need to know what she charges.11:44
jelknerWe need a graphics person badly.11:44
replaceafillhow much do you usually pay your students for this kind of work?11:45
jelknerCan we ask her if she can do the two (or perhaps three) banner images for Celina and Elizabeth's websites?11:45
replaceafill5, 10, 20?11:45
replaceafilljelkner, sure11:45
replaceafilli'll call her and ask11:45
jelknergreat!11:45
jelknerdoes mr_german know her?11:46
jelkneri usually pay $20 for someone like daniella that has real skills11:46
replaceafillyes, they're cousins11:46
jelkner$10 is only for learners, not doers.11:46
jelknersweet11:46
jelknerlet's see if we can recruit her!11:46
mr_german;-)11:47
replaceafillin fact, mr_german is selling NOVA around11:47
replaceafillrecruiting actually11:47
replaceafill:)11:47
jelknerbeautiful11:47
jelknernow we need to tighten our skills a bit more, get our work flow down smoothly, and market the hell out of ourselves!11:47
jelknerthat's the mission of this Summer11:48
replaceafillindeed11:48
mr_germanjelkner, sorry If I don't respond immediately, I'm working on our portfolio11:50
replaceafilljelkner, we can talk a bit more next week, but i'm not a fan of the clockin mechanism :(11:51
replaceafillimho it's better to educate developers to track their time using whatever method is more convenient for them, i use a simple text file11:51
replaceafill+ JIRA tempo plugin11:52
* mr_german is away from keyboard.11:54
jelknerreplaceafill, i'm just trying to make things easy, and to accomplish several things at once.11:58
replaceafilljelkner, i know11:59
jelkneri need to know when mr_german generally works, so i can collaborate with him11:59
jelknerhaving those of us working together in the habit of logging on here will be a huge help11:59
jelknerso we don't have to go looking for each other.11:59
jelknerwe know where to find each other quickly12:00
jelknerthe fact is most of us are not tracking our hours12:00
jelknermr_german is, but the rest are not12:00
replaceafillsure12:00
jelkneri don't have the time (like you have with him) to watch over them and make sure they are tracking their hours12:01
replaceafilli don't do it anymore12:01
replaceafillhe's on autopilot about that12:01
jelknerif they do it here, it is super light weight for me, and transparent to all of us12:01
jelknerso we can learn from each other12:01
replaceafillhe has seen the benefit already12:01
jelknerand the cost is near zero12:02
jelknerso what's the downside?12:02
jelknerbtw. i will fix the web template to include your suggestions12:02
replaceafilljelkner, my point is that you can't rely on an automatic tool and expect accuracy12:02
replaceafilltypos happen, people forget doing things, etc12:02
jelknerfair enough, but right now we got almost nothing12:02
jelknerit's got to be better than that12:03
jelknerand it really isn't an automatic tool12:03
replaceafillwe need a "manager"12:03
replaceafilli think12:03
replaceafillsomeone who's on top of things like that12:03
jelknerwell we can't afford one12:03
jelknerso let's do the best we can for now12:03
replaceafilleventually one of us will become one12:03
replaceafillok12:03
jelknerdefinitely12:03
replaceafillimho if mr_german method is working he should not replace it12:04
replaceafilltry both maybe12:04
jelknerboth is good12:04
jelkneri agree12:04
jelkneragain, this one has near zero cost12:04
jelknersince he needs to be here anyway12:05
jelknerif he has another method he is using that works, he can keep doing that12:05
jelknerthat will put him in the best position to evaluate both methods and make recommendations to the rest of us12:05
jelknerwe just learning at this point12:06
jelknerbeing the very young enterprise that we are12:06
jelknerover time, i'm sure we will settle down on some agreed upon best practices and change will then proceed more slowly12:06
replaceafillsure12:06
jelknerin the mean time, i am trying my best to be the unpaid manager we need12:07
jelknerthis will help me12:07
replaceafill:)12:07
replaceafilli'll try to keep my mouth shout ;)12:08
jelknernot at all, my good friend12:08
jelknerwe are a cooperative12:08
jelknerthis is how we work things out12:08
jelknerthanks!12:08

replaceafilljelkner, i talked to her on the phone this morning and explained it14:46
replaceafillhopefully we'll see her reply soon14:47

replaceafilljelkner, btw, who's taking care of creating Celina's new email?17:57
jelkneri was waiting for ubuntourist to weigh-in on that, since he is the one who helped mjsir911 get this to work with our @novawebdevelopment.org email addresses17:59
replaceafillah you're thinking of using the same approach18:00
replaceafillok18:00
jelknerremember, replaceafill, i'm just the unpaid manager. you and ubuntourist are the ones with the skills18:01
replaceafillwith the unpaid skills? :D18:01

jelkners/everyone/everyont18:03
replaceafilljelkner, seems possible https://www.tierra.net/faq/?#EQ118:06
jelknerThis is a good night for this, since mattva01 is here18:06
replaceafillggrr wrong link18:06
jelkner?18:06
replaceafilli'm reading "What email services are offered by TierraNet?"18:07
replaceafill"Email Forward: Also known as an email alias, email forwards allow you to create an email address such as yourchoice@yourdomain.com and have email sent to that address instantly forward to a destination of your choice. This destination can be any valid email address, whether it be an account at TierraNet, an account at your ISP, etc. The sender will not know that the email is being forwarded."18:07
replaceafillso maybe it can be done there too18:07
jelknercheck out elkner.net18:07
replaceafillyou're telling me that you're WAY too busy?18:08
replaceafill:D18:08
mjsir911It will definitely work on teirranet, we have the same setup as our website, novawebdevelopment.org18:08
jelkneryes18:08
jelknerwe can assign this to mjsir911, who can ask his mentor18:08
replaceafillcool18:08
jelknerso you don't have to worry about it, replaceafill18:09
jelkneri wasn't trying to dump it on you18:09

jelknercelina is very busy19:39
mr_germanI know19:39
jelknerlike we were saying, we can't make her have to answer too many questions19:39
jelkneror we are not serving her well19:39

jelknerwhy did she say the image with the Capitol was no good?19:40
