[12:28:03 CDT(-0500)] <athena> hey EricDalquist - what's the status of the user import/export stuff?
[13:49:35 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> athena: probably get it figured out later this week
[13:49:44 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> playing catchup today
[13:50:09 CDT(-0500)] <athena> ok, thanks!
[13:50:10 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and trying to not get too depressed that UW has apparently written native ios/android apps that could easily be done with uMobile (tongue)
[13:50:16 CDT(-0500)] <athena> (tongue)
[13:50:24 CDT(-0500)] <athena> can always switch . . . (wink)
[13:50:24 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and now our group is getting the apps thrown over the wall to us
[13:50:29 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[13:50:37 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> that may be the realistic approach
[13:50:38 CDT(-0500)] <athena> cleaning up umobile on the ipad now
[13:50:41 CDT(-0500)] <athena> got all the detached stuff working
[13:50:48 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> a bunch of people were pulled off other projects to get these apps done
[13:50:49 CDT(-0500)] <athena> looks decent
[13:50:51 CDT(-0500)] <athena> ahh
[13:50:59 CDT(-0500)] <athena> but they don't have to maintain it?
[13:51:09 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and now they are handing the apps to us (we have no mobile app devs) and saying 'maintain this'
[13:51:14 CDT(-0500)] <athena> fun!
[13:51:21 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> go search for UW Madison in the ios app store
[13:51:22 CDT(-0500)] <athena> because you all want to be experts in cocoa
[13:51:26 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> its a free app
[13:51:27 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yes
[13:51:28 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> exactly
[13:51:35 CDT(-0500)] <athena> craziness
[13:51:43 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and you can reassure me as to how easy it would be to replicate it in umobile
[13:51:49 CDT(-0500)] <athena> (smile)
[13:51:51 CDT(-0500)] <athena> will do
[13:51:59 CDT(-0500)] <athena> i'm about to take off for lunch / studying
[13:52:07 CDT(-0500)] <athena> but will be lurking off and on
[13:52:19 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah I have a meeting and then will be heading home to get more stuff done there
[13:52:26 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> also glad detached is working
[13:52:28 CDT(-0500)] <athena> hope you have a good afternoon
[13:52:34 CDT(-0500)] <athena> yeah seems great
[13:52:34 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> does it simplify the umobile stuff at all?
[13:52:37 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> good
[13:52:38 CDT(-0500)] <athena> got it all working on the mobile side too
[13:52:41 CDT(-0500)] <athena> yes, absolutely
