LaserJockrobotgeek: yeah, that's why I mentioned it12:10
mdkei don't think my isp requires me to give any details when sending mail through their smtp12:10
Burgworkmdke, you should probably throttle it, however12:12
mdkeBurgwork: throttle what?12:12
Burgworkthe spamming12:14
Burgworkif you send too much, they might tag us as a spammer and block you12:14

mdkeBurgwork: I've made some progress on the wiki theme. It's pretty crowded though, we might wanna think about a more significant revamp of the theme, make it a bit simpler. Maybe that is something to do later though. http://help.ubuntu.com/wiki02:51
mdke-> bed, again02:53
jsgotangcohelp has its own wiki?02:54
LaserJockjsgotangco: wiki.ubuntu.com/BetterWikiDocs02:58
jsgotangcoyeah i just read that02:59
robotgeekmdke: getting to it right away03:15
robotgeek mdke: you have it wrong, http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/libs/sun-java5-bin has both x86/amd64 packages03:20
LaserJockrobotgeek: but I think the ambd64 package is empty03:21
robotgeekreally?03:22
robotgeekhttp://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/s/sun-java5/sun-java5-bin_1.5.0-06-1_amd64.deb pulls it up03:23
LaserJockrobotgeek: do dpkg -c on that .deb03:23
robotgeek19Mb download, moment03:24
robotgeekit shows me lots of stuff03:25
LaserJockwoah, wait a sec. I think only the firefox plugin is  missing, not the whole java03:25
LaserJockI wasn't looking closely at what package you were looking at03:25
robotgeekyeah, firefox plugin is absent. (sucks for people)03:26
robotgeeki won't have that issue on kde. konq will be able to handle it just infe03:26
robotgeekfine03:26
LaserJockreally?03:26
robotgeekyeah, uses /usr/bin/java directly03:27
LaserJockcool03:27
LaserJockraphink got me trying KDE again03:28
robotgeekhow did you like it?03:28
robotgeeksmall things like basket keep me hooked :)03:28
LaserJockit's nice, the apps are really great, but I need to work on the look a little bit, Gnome has a really nice, professional look to it03:29
LaserJockI've always said, I love the look-n-feel of Gnome and the apps of KDE03:29
robotgeek:)03:29
robotgeeki have been wanting to try out the gnome dapper, havent really got around to doing that03:30
LaserJockits really looking nice03:30
LaserJockI scrounged up a new box and put ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop, and xubuntu-desktop on it so I can have a look03:31
LaserJockthey are all really looking fantastic to me03:31
robotgeekonce i get my laptop back from my friend, i am going to put xubuntu on it. 03:32
LaserJockthe xubuntu team has done a good job with it, I prefer Gnome and KDE still though03:33
robotgeekit's a 500mhz laptop, so xubuntu will run very nicely on there03:33
robotgeekor i might put os x on it and give it to my sister, to use as a desktop :)03:34
LaserJockone thing that is a problem right now for me is that the KDE menu is know cluttered up with gnome and xfce items03:35
robotgeekyou can use my nice script to get rid of other desktop packages :)03:36
robotgeekhttp://robotgeek.org/wiki/ShellScripts/CleanPackage 03:37
jsgotangcobah03:38
robotgeekjsgotangco: nice wallaper you had for edubuntu03:38
robotgeekmaybe kubuntu could have used that in blue03:38
robotgeeki also like the look of the edubuntu wiki. when compared to the ubuntu wiki, it looks so much better (and uncluttered)03:38
robotgeekwebsite, rather03:39
LaserJockrobotgeek: hehe, no I just want to get rid of them in the KDE menu ;-)03:39
robotgeekhttp://www.edubuntu.org/ vs http://www.ubuntu.com03:39
jsgotangcothere is a problem with the edubuntu wallpaper03:39
robotgeekLaserJock: someone had a script to do that in the forums03:39
jsgotangcorobotgeek: new zeland was forgotten :)03:43
robotgeekjsgotangco: oo03:44
LaserJockjsgotangco: I think that is sort of funny03:44
jsgotangcowe can file it as a bug heh03:46
LaserJockyes, we should03:48
jsgotangcothen we could also flood pete's mailbox with rants saying there are not enough nationalities in the young wallpaper heh03:48
robotgeekLaserJock: is there anyway to verify if the deb installs to /usr/bin/java without installting it?03:56
LaserJockdpkg -c gives the list of what files are going to be installed03:56
LaserJockso dpkg -c | grep /usr/bin/java would probably be useful03:57
robotgeekbut i think they use the update alternatives stuff03:57
LaserJockoh, you want to see what the postinst scripts are?03:58
LaserJockdpkg -x . would unpack the .deb into your current directory03:59
LaserJock and then you can look at var/lib/dpkg/info I think03:59

Madpilotgood. tiring. Up at 0600, at work by 0730, then 8+hrs of trying keep up ;)06:28
MadpilotI'd forgotten what the first day at a new job is like06:29
Burgundaviagiven it is only your 2nd job in your life...06:29
LaserJockwow, 2 more than me ;-)06:30
Madpilot3rd, counting the casual stuff I did in high school, but yes06:30
LaserJockI some ranch jobs growing up, but it seems like am really a career student :/06:30
LaserJock*had some06:30
=== Burgundavia has had 10 jobs in 8 years
MadpilotBurgundavia, is that counting the Katimavictim stuff as one job or 3+?06:32
Burgundavia306:32
LaserJockBurgundavia: I've been in college for 8 years 06:32
Madpilotvery strange - someone is running around the wiki replacing every instances of "apt-get install" they can find with "aptitude install"...06:34
LaserJockwhat?!06:34
BurgundaviaI saw that06:35
Burgundaviabloody wiki06:35
Madpilotlook thru RecentChanges and see what "KristianHermansen" has been up to06:35
Burgundaviamediawiki has a "block and revert every change button"06:35

Burgundavias06:36
Madpilotinteresting06:36
Madpilotthis doesn't qualify as vandalism, I'd say. Just a waste of time.06:37
BurgundaviaI would qualify it as vandalism06:38
Burgundaviahttp://isthis4real.com/orbit.xml06:39
Madpilotcool. Despite the Firefox propaganda on the page, it appears to work perfectly in Opera 9beta. ;)06:41
MadpilotBurgundavia, read the blurb on that orbit.xml page - do you get a whiff of creationism?06:45
Burgundaviayep06:46
LaserJockhmm, interesting06:46
Madpilotglad it wasn't just me. Cool app, but a very simplistic understanding of actual orbital forces, I think.06:46
LaserJockI got a pretty ok orbit out of angle=10 and force=506:47
LaserJockbut it is quite a bit farther out than the dotted line06:47
Madpilotyou're supposed to match your orbit up to the red line06:48
Madpiloteven granted problems in scale, that red line looks way, way to close to the planet to actually be Luna's orbit06:48
LaserJockyeah, but I was playing God and wanted a bit farther out orbit06:48
Burgundaviathe instructions do strike me as "I need to prove a point"06:49
Madpilot"I'm trying desprately hard to prove a point", more like. (spelling, I know, but I'm tired...)06:49
Madpilotfound our wiki vandal/overzelous's editor's LP page: https://launchpad.net/people/kristian-hermansen - who wants to write him a note asking what the heck he's doing?06:53
