      • 2012-11-01 30622, 2012

      • ruaok
        do you have a machine that can run spotify?
      • 2012-11-01 30634, 2012

      • ruaok
        I *think* they have a linux version, but not sure its really up to snuff.
      • 2012-11-01 30640, 2012

      • ianmcorvidae
        I don't know enough about running spotify to even say -- I only have linux machines though

      • ruaok
      • 2012-11-01 30610, 2012

      • ruaok
        that might become interesting in london.
      • 2012-11-01 30619, 2012

      • ruaok
        we should see if we can borrow you a laptop that can run windows or mac.

        yeah
      • 2012-11-01 30630, 2012

      • ianmcorvidae
        I can maybe look into a VM
      • 2012-11-01 30635, 2012

      • ruaok
        otherwise this might be kinda limiting.
      • 2012-11-01 30636, 2012

      • ruaok
        ya.
      • 2012-11-01 30603, 2012

      • ruaok
        another thought it since spotify apps are nothing but HTML and CSS with JS, we can mock a lot of stuff up on a normal webserver.
      • 2012-11-01 30612, 2012

      • ruaok
        then moving it inside spotify as an app should be a snap.
      • 2012-11-01 30622, 2012

      • ianmcorvidae
        cool

        it needs some sort of "pay X EUR and get a week or month of internet"
      • 2012-11-01 30627, 2012

        I can try, pero yo no habla mucho espanol todovia
      • 2012-11-01 30640, 2012

      • 2012-11-01 30653, 2012

        reoafk: can you teach me how to ask for what ruaok wants? or figure it out online? :)
      • 2012-11-01 30615, 2012

      • ruaok
        yo quiero un tarjeta de SIM, por favor!
      • 2012-11-01 30619, 2012

        I think you can find movistar and orange stores near the placa the catalunya.
      • 2012-11-01 30605, 2012

      • ruaok
        which is where the bus arrives at.

      • ruaok
        and please find out how to connect to the net. usually thats the APN that I need to set if it doesn't automatically get set.
      • 2012-11-01 30653, 2012

      • warp
        right, I'll try it out with my own android
      • 2012-11-01 30618, 2012

      • warp
        I can get that one to work, getting yours to work later that day shouldn't be a problem.

        that way I can have a mobile once I arrive. which is kinda important for the event we're planning.

        hm, first attempt is a false positive. I'd have to get a tracklist as well to double check that it's the correct album.
      • 2012-11-01 30629, 2012

      • warp
        though that seems relatively straightforward to get.
      • 2012-11-01 30641, 2012

      • ianmcorvidae
        yeah, presumably you can chain together some lookups
      • 2012-11-01 30611, 2012

      • ianmcorvidae
        or maybe we'll get some data from them soon and I can get ingestr up and running :)
