[07:18] <nixternal> Jucato: that guy rob west in #kubuntu, him and i are in msg, he is from the same town, a very small town...he is giving me the scoop on my old stomping grounds
[07:18] <Jucato> nixternal: ooh that's nice. it's always nice to discover a fellow Linux user, much more a Kubuntu user, who lives nearby
[07:19] <nixternal> well, i don't live near there anymore, but all of my family does
[07:19] <nixternal> i am in chicago now, about 2.5 hours from him, still nto that far
[07:19] <Jucato> aah
[11:13] <froud> Riddell: anyone installing KDE 4 should best look at http://developer.kde.org/build/trunk.html and http://developernew.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/Unstable_Version
[04:21] <Riddell> Lure: slovenia is changing to the euro?
[04:22] <toma> Riddell: according to a thread on kde-i18n, it is
[04:22] <Riddell> did they tell the EU I wonder
[04:22] <toma> so I can throw away my Tolars ;-)
[04:23] <toma> which were worthless anyhow probably
[04:24] <toma> Riddell: yes they did tell them: http://ec.europa.eu/index_en.htm
[04:25] <toma> what about romania then?
[04:25] <Riddell> they're not in the EU yet
[04:25] <Riddell> not for another few hours anyway
[04:25] <toma> ;-0
[04:26] <Riddell> "Ireland's national language will get official status in the EU on 1 January 2007"  ooh, squillions of documents translated into a language nobody can understand :)
[04:26] <toma> ;-)
[04:26] <toma> so romania joins, but does not change currency?
[04:26] <mhb> no
[04:26] <mhb> well, yes
[04:27] <toma> ah
[04:27] <mhb> it is common to join and have your own currenc
[04:27] <mhb> y
[04:27] <mhb> all the newer EU members have their own currency, slovenia is the first one to get the Euro
[04:30] <mhb> by the way, happy New Year to all of you and Kubuntu
[04:31] <toma> mhb: the same to you !
[04:38] <mhb> one more thing from me: can we do a nicer volume up / volume down pop-up when using the laptop keys? Do you know where the current widget is set up?
[05:22] <ryanakca> oooh... *always wanted to learn gaelic... that language that squillions of documents will be translated into, and that nobody can understand*
[05:59] <Lure> Riddell: yes - tonight ;-)
[06:00] <Lure> happy new year to kubuntu team members
