Burgundaviahmm, still haven't had a press release on that07:37
BurgundaviaI will bug tim/malc tomorrow on that07:37
LaserJockwe already did the sinister stuff :-)07:37
jsgotangcoi see07:38
LaserJockjsgotangco: I'm really liking kalzium's data, they use xml and have a whole chemistry glossary07:38
=== jsgotangco dived in to jokosher development if its worth sharing

LaserJockyeah07:41
LaserJockI let them deal with the bugs ;-)07:41
jsgotangcoopppss i was in my locale sorry07:41
Burgundaviano worries, we can figure it out07:41
Burgundavia:)07:41
jsgotangcoso its basically like rdp?07:42
Burgundaviano07:42
jsgotangcowait bad comparison07:42
Burgundaviamultihead/multiseat X07:42
jsgotangcoyeah07:42
Burgundaviatry it07:43
Burgundaviahowever, it might screwup07:43
Burgundaviamy laptop just crashes constantly with it07:43
jsgotangcoso basically i need to have at least 2 video cards right?07:43
jsgotangcoand of course, two keyboards and stuff07:43

LaserJockBurgundavia: does it do it with RHEL?07:43
Burgundaviaonly one multihead one will work07:43
Burgundaviawe use Fedora07:44
jsgotangcousb devices work?07:44
jsgotangcousb kb/mouse07:44
Burgundaviayep07:44
jsgotangcointeresting07:44
Burgundaviahmm, you might need to patch gnome-vfs07:44
Burgundaviahttp://openuserful.sourceforge.net/wiki/in07:45
Burgundaviahttp://openuserful.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Patches07:45
jsgotangcothe problem is07:45
jsgotangcoall machines at work at em64t with 64bit kernels installed07:46
jsgotangcoi guess it should work07:46
Burgundaviaah07:46
Burgundaviaours is closed source crap, sadly07:46
BurgundaviaI am working on them to open source at least the X stuff07:46
jsgotangcothat would be neat07:46
jsgotangcobut then i might not be able to test much here since im bound to a new job in a month07:46
LaserJockyeah, I hope that getting the trial version in Ubuntu gets them leaning in the open source direction07:47
Burgundaviaheh07:47
Burgundaviawhere are you headed?07:47
LaserJockyeah07:47
jsgotangcoa foundation for a tv network07:48
jsgotangcojoining to spearhead an adoption project for schools07:48
Burgundaviavery cool07:48
jsgotangcoand connect them to the net07:48
LaserJockBurgundavia: have you ever administered a mediawiki wiki?07:48
jsgotangcomost schools down south have very bad student-computer ratio07:48
BurgundaviaLaserJock: somewhat07:49
Burgundaviawhat sort of issue are you having?07:49
LaserJockI'm trying to figure out access restrictions for this wiki I made for my dept.07:50
LaserJockand just general customization07:51
jsgotangcoits basically a one or all approach07:51
Burgundaviathere are good docs on mediawiki.org07:51
jsgotangcodone everyting in the Local setting file07:51
Burgundaviayou can restrict certain people to viewing certain namespaces07:51
Burgundaviaie: only admins can view a certain namespace07:51
LaserJockit appears that currently anybody can sign up for an account on the wiki07:51
Burgundaviathinking about doing that for a roleplaying game07:51
jsgotangcoyou can disable that07:52
Burgundaviayou can restrict that too07:52
jsgotangcoand make only the admin create the account07:52
Burgundaviaobserve wiki.userful.ca07:52
jsgotangcothe only thing about mediawiki is that is has relatively weak user management07:52
Burgundaviayes07:53
jsgotangcoeditng the user/password tables is like asking for a brutal axe massacre to happen07:53
LaserJockBurgundavia: so could I make an account on wiki.userful.ca or does and administrator have to do that?07:53
Burgundavianope, administrator has todo that07:53
Burgundaviatry07:53
LaserJockk07:54
LaserJockthat looks like somewhat what I want to do07:54
LaserJockI don't mind everybody reading stuff (except a couple internal pages) but I only want like 10 people to be able to edit07:55
jsgotangcoyep07:55
jsgotangcoyou can just lock the pages07:55
jsgotangcoare they a lot of pages?07:55
LaserJockwell, I haven't made any yet ;-)07:56
LaserJockI'm just getting it set up07:56
LaserJockthis is a grad student organization07:56
jsgotangcoyeah let's say you just want to lock the frontpage for admins to edit you can do that07:56
jsgotangcothat's how mediawiki does it07:56
jsgotangcothen just create templates and stuff for other people to edit so that it reflects the frontpage07:57
LaserJocktoo bad moin didn't pull through, I'm more familiar with it07:57
LaserJockI don't know PHP07:57
jsgotangcoits pretty good for presentation-level data07:57
LaserJockI think it'll work out ok, it's just the learning curve will be a bit steaper for me07:58
LaserJockthe sysadmin seems to know what he's doing WRT the mysql database07:58
LaserJockok, I gotta get to bed, I found a good page on the mediawiki wiki08:05

jsgotangcopfftt06:35
jsgotangcoin our LUG we just get drunk06:35
nixternalhaha 06:35
jsgotangcobecause we're too sick of talking tech06:35
LaserJockit was cool though, a fair amount of Debian/Ubuntu users with some Gentoo/BSD thrown in06:35
LaserJockjsgotangco: oh, the drinking was afterwards06:35
nixternalthe LUG's here all seem to be FC, SuSe, and Slackware06:35
LaserJockalthough I had to skip it to get home at a decent hour06:35
nixternalwith a few Debian users, and then ME!!!06:36
LaserJockyikes06:36
LaserJockjsgotangco: one of the guys works for the school district06:36
jsgotangcoerr okay06:37
LaserJockhe's wanting to get Linux into the schools here06:37
LaserJockI'll have to work on him ;-)06:37
nixternalspeaking of linux in schools, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Classroom   you guys need to teach ;)06:38
LaserJockhah06:39
LaserJockwhat can I teach06:39
LaserJock"this is how irssi+screen can rule IRC"06:39
nixternali think hybrid is on that one ;)06:39
pygiLaserJock, :)06:39
LaserJock"GUI no more, just use a terminal"06:39
nixternalyou can do the laser ;)06:39
LaserJockhehe06:40
pygi!!!06:40
nixternalmini-me, stop humping the laser ;)06:40
LaserJockhow I can control the laser using Debian Sarge+ some C06:40
LaserJocknixternal: yeah, we have a no laser-humping policy06:40
LaserJock;-)06:40
nixternalhahaha06:41
jsgotangcojeezz06:41
LaserJockjsgotangco: sorry06:41
nixternalhahaha06:42
trappistLaserJock: irssi + screen + bitlbee = chat nirvana06:42
jsgotangcowith bitlbee i agree06:42
nixternalthere is one "chat client" that bitlbee is missing right?06:42
nixternalotherwise it is fully loaded06:42
LaserJockit's just there is only 3 movies that come to mind when you talk about lasers :-)06:42
nixternali know them too06:43
nixternali know 1 of them06:43
nixternalthe young scientist06:43
trappistnixternal: add jabber to the mix and you're probably covered06:43
nixternalwhere they pop popcorn in the professor's house06:43
nixternalya, i need to get back over to irssi and fire up the bitlbee06:43
trappistreal genius06:44
jsgotangcodigging through my old HD, i just found my 100+ song strong KISS MP3s06:44
nixternalya06:44
nixternallol06:44
nixternali couldn't remember the name06:44
nixternalwith val kilmer06:44
LaserJockI don't get the point of bitlbee06:44
trappistLaserJock: lets you use your irc client to chat on msn, yahoo, aim, icq, etc.06:44
LaserJockand that's useful because ...?06:44
LaserJock:-)06:45
trappistso I don't have to run irssi *and* gaim.06:45
nixternalwell, with bitlbee, can't you connect any irc client to it really?  as it doesn't have to be irssi, because it acts kind of like an irc server right?06:45
trappistnixternal: right.06:45
jsgotangcoyou just use it in one console interface06:45
LaserJockI don't use IM so I guess that's why I'm not really impressed06:45
LaserJockbut I get the idea06:45
jsgotangcothat's so uncool...no IM06:45
jsgotangcogo back and hump the laser06:46
LaserJockwhy would I use IM, I've got IRC06:46
jsgotangcobecause i like talking to teenagers?06:46
jsgotangcolol06:46
jsgotangcohaha06:46
=== jsgotangco kidding
nixternalthe only reason i have im is family (which are all skype now) and because there are people in the forums and online that can't get on irc, so i give them the option of the other chat clients to get in contact for help06:46
LaserJockhmm, most of my family doesn't even email06:46
=== LaserJock crawls back under his prehistoric rock
nixternallol06:47
jsgotangcoone of my rather "interesting" friends is on AIM so06:47

jsgotangcothat happens most of the time06:47
LaserJockI hate to say it but pretty much my only friends are on IRC06:47
trappistlosers.  all the cool guys are on irc ALL DAY.06:47
jsgotangcoyou'd be lucky if you still have friends in ICQ06:48
jsgotangcoor cursed06:48
trappistI once knew a guy who used icq.06:48
LaserJockwho has time for friends, we're supposed to be working on Ubuntu06:48
=== LaserJock thinks maybe he needs to get out more
jsgotangcoit must be a sad thing to be able to see your friends every 6 months only06:49
jsgotangcolol06:49
LaserJockprobably not even that06:49
jsgotangcoor worse a year06:49
jsgotangcoor probably not at all after06:49

LaserJockjsgotangco: does it seem a lot lamer then you remember it being?07:00
LaserJockjsgotangco: that always happens to me. I'm like "Oh, that song rocked. It was like my favorite" and then I listen to it and I think "Man, this song stinks"07:01
jsgotangcowell if you've been following music since high school, you'll notice songs back then were silly but nonetheless happier than today's rock bands07:01
LaserJockjsgotangco: yeah, a lot more of jbailey's angst these days ;-)07:02
jsgotangcolike during the mid 80s, i'm pretty much a trash metal sort of guy07:02
jsgotangcoand i was barely in high school07:02
jsgotangcobut thank god i never found spandex cool even back then07:04
LaserJockjsgotangco: haha, that would have been hilarious07:08
jsgotangcohmm i didn't know BenC was DPL before07:27
crimsun:)07:28
crimsunthere are a few interviews with him as DPL07:28
jsgotangcowell its like i just finished high school when he became DPL so07:29
jsgotangcoheh07:29
crimsunthere you go making me feel old again07:29
jsgotangcolol07:30

nixternalhi there09:36
LaserJockhi nixternal 09:37
nixternalwell hello mr. LaserJock09:37
LaserJocknixternal: have you tried getting a list on lists.ubuntu.com?09:37
nixternallol...i just now emailed jdub about one for Chicago09:37
=== pygi [n=pygi@83-131-231-250.adsl.net.t-com.hr] has joined #ubuntu-doc
LaserJockI've got ubuntu-science externally hosted because my general impression was that they didn't want to have too many "offical" lists running around09:38
nixternali wouldn't doubt it, but every other loco has one there, so that is why i went, plus it is listed on the loco page to get one through ubuntu ;)09:39
LaserJockLoCos should certainly be ok, that's a part of being an "offical" LoCO09:39
LaserJockor is that offically loco09:39
LaserJock:-)09:39
nixternalwell. you would think anything "Ubuntu" would be ok09:39
nixternalloco ;)09:39
nixternalsee now, i just add everyone of my guys into a list in kontact, so when i email i get a good 8" header ;)09:40
nixternaland the replies are horrid09:40
LaserJockhehe09:40
nixternalif i don't get nothing this week, i will have to have it hosted externally i guess09:41
LaserJockI keep seeing more and more US LoCos poping up, eventually there is bound to be one I can join :-)09:41
nixternalim getting chi.ubuntu-us.com web hosting via Ubuntu now09:41
nixternalcreate it ;)09:41
nixternali don't think you are busy enough09:41
LaserJockbah, I don't have time for it.09:41
LaserJockI just made my first LUG meeting last night, one step at a time dude ;-)09:42
nixternallol09:42
LaserJockI finally listened to my buntudot.org interview yesterday, I sound really weird. I hate listening to a recording of my voice09:43
LaserJockit sound so different09:43
nixternali agree with you09:44
nixternalyou do sound weird09:44
nixternal;)09:44
crimsunyou got noosed^H^Hinterviewed? nice.09:45
LaserJockhaha09:46
LaserJockit was fun, I enjoyed it, but next time imbrandon needs to pick a topic, I can't think off the top of my head *and* sound half-way intelligent at the same time ;-)09:47
nixternalhaha i know the feeling09:47
crimsunah but that's what getting a doctoral degree teaches you to do09:47
nixternalusually it is just imbrandon talking..you and i just go.. uh huh...ya,  well...ummm ummm ya...ohh..cool09:47
LaserJockyeah, nothing like orals09:47
nixternallol09:47
nixternalcrimsun, one of these days, let me finish my masters first, then it is on to the doctorate09:48
nixternali have to hurry, as im getting older and i gotta finish it before my GI bills run out09:48
LaserJockbah, skip the masters and go straight for the doctorate09:48
nixternalno no..got my BS in CS ;)   and Im getting my MBA09:49
crimsunthat only works if you stay in the same discipline, generally09:49
nixternalthen either my Doctorate in either CS or EE09:49
nixternalthe MBA would be the onlything outside of my discipline09:50
LaserJockcrimsun: hehe, I have a B.A. in Environmental Science and am gitting my PhD in Physical Chemistry09:50
crimsunthat's essentially the same discipline09:50
LaserJockyeah09:51
LaserJockI had an emphasis in chemistry09:51
nixternalwow09:51
nixternali couldn't take another Chem or EnvSci class if i had to09:51
LaserJockhehe09:51
nixternali can't remember any of the EnvSci stuff either09:51
nixternalzone of leaching09:51
nixternalsomething with that09:51
nixternalgarbage dumps09:51
nixternalhaha09:52
LaserJockblah blah save the earth blah blah :-)09:52
nixternallol09:52
nixternalexactly09:52
nixternaltree huggers09:52
nixternal;)09:52
nixternalgod's gonna save the earth by getting rid of us all09:52
crimsunnuh uh, there are lots of interesting topics. for instance, an ex-gf is doing research into chlorides w/ charlie zender at UCI. coincidentially, charlie zender is a Ubuntu user.09:53
nixternalhe is gonna throw a dart at his calendar and pick a day to begin his version of "etchnic" cleansing09:53
nixternaletchnic ey09:53
=== nixternal writes m-w.com and tells um to add it quickly
LaserJockcrimsun: it is actually cool stuff, I wasn't intersted when i first started (it was the only chemistry related degree at my school) but I got into it as time went on09:54
nixternali got interested in the various systems, the hydrosomething or other, how it is in constant motion all around you, and you see it all the time, you just don't realise it09:54
nixternaland water tables were interesting and what not09:55
LaserJockcrimsun: I did a study on nitrate level in groundwater for a senior research project, actually got to present our research to county commissioner's and make public policy recommendations09:56
nixternalnice LaserJock09:57
LaserJockit was pretty cool because my school had a good working relationship with many of the local and federal agencies09:57
crimsunLaserJock: yeah, that's good stuff.09:57
LaserJockso the Forest Service would get cheap labor and we got to do real research09:57
crimsunI almost went chem for grad school but decided I really liked algorithm design more09:58
LaserJockyeah, tbh I waver a lot between Chem and CS09:58
LaserJockwhich is bad when you've been working for 8 years on something :-)09:59
crimsunultimately da vinci and feynman had it right. you have to be interested in everything.09:59
LaserJockexactly09:59
nixternalso true09:59
LaserJockI've always admired the Renaissance scientists10:00
nixternali think that is why kids these days are becoming far more intelligent then the kids of yesterday10:00
nixternalthey get interested in far more activities and what not10:00
LaserJockPascal developed at least 2 areas of science and mathematics, wrote major pieces of philosophy, all before he was 3010:00
nixternali have a 14yo neighbor who hacks pretty darn well i might add10:00
nixternalhe is good with C, python, and others, and knows his networking stuff10:01
nixternalhe is always messing with my wireless stuff10:01
crimsunnow (re)introduce him to milton, shakespeare, blake, whitman, keats, roy, walcott, giovanni, and so on :)10:03
LaserJockyes10:03
LaserJockI worry that kids are focusing down too early10:03
LaserJocksure they are wizards at whatever "thing" they do (or their parents push on them) but there is so much more to life10:04
LaserJocknot that I really should be talking ;-)10:05
nixternaltrue, which is why there are more teen suicides these days then ever before...at least the dummies on tv think so...and i usually don't agree with the media on 99% of the things they say10:05
nixternal^^ not which is why, but why i think...10:07
