[02:07] <pygi> hello everyone
[02:07] <pygi> and well ...
[02:07] <pygi> happy new year, I wish you all the best
[01:56] <cbx33> highvoltage, do you know of a nice photo slide show prog for linux?
[01:57] <highvoltage> cbx33: I used to use quickshow, but it went defunct
[01:57] <cbx33> :(
[01:57] <highvoltage> I use that default thingy in ubuntu these days
[01:57] <cbx33> glslideshow, the screen saver is quite nice
[01:57] <cbx33> but seems a little broken in which images it uses from a folder
[01:58] <highvoltage> eye of gnome
[01:58] <cbx33> I suppose I could write a new one......but I don't have the time
[01:58] <cbx33> yeh that ones ok....but does it do nice transitions between images
[01:59] <highvoltage> ah I see
[02:00] <cbx33> you seen those photo frames that are digital
[02:00] <cbx33> and fade nicely between photos
[02:00] <cbx33> well....I wanted to use an old laptop to make a big version
[02:00] <cbx33> but I'm struggling to find a nice image slideshow in linux
[02:09] <juliux> happy new year highvoltage cbx33

[02:29] <Thecryptic> Hi there!
[02:29] <highvoltage> hi Thecryptic. happy new year.
[02:30] <Thecryptic> thanks. Happy new year for you and all also.
[02:30] <Thecryptic> I have a question
[02:32] <Thecryptic> I have got an old Pentium III with Edubuntu installed and working fine. Now i would like to send to the third world
[02:32] <Thecryptic> But...
[02:33] <Thecryptic> All the sites I've visited begin by formatting the hard disk and install Windows to make the people learn MS - office.
[02:34] <Thecryptic> Anyone knows about a site to help the third world with Edubuntu?
[02:42] <Thecryptic> hello?
[03:47] <rockprincess> Happy New Year @all in #edubuntu! :)
[04:37] <cbx33> hey rockprincess
[04:42] <rockprincess> hey pete!
[04:47] <rockprincess> cbx33: did you have a good time last night?
[04:48] <cbx33> hehe yeh
[04:48] <cbx33> you?
[04:48] <rockprincess> hmm mine was pretty crap...
[04:49] <cbx33> awww
[04:49] <rockprincess> just the wrong kind of people....too many weirdos...you know?
[04:50] <cbx33> yeh i know
[04:50] <cbx33> you went out somewhere?
[04:51] <rockprincess> yeah i went to a party where i only knew one person and that was my best friend.....and the other were just a drunken pack and pretty extrovert...
[04:51] <rockprincess> and it took me 1 1/2 hours to get home :|
[04:52] <cbx33> yikes
[04:53] <rockprincess> whatever i was never really a fan of new years celebrations, so i should care less....
[04:53] <cbx33> hehe
[04:53] <cbx33> me neither
[04:56] <rockprincess> believe it or not, but i have already 61% of that bbc documentary "the codebreakers"
[04:57] <stgraber> it's quite a good documentary IIRC
[04:57] <cbx33> cool
[04:58] <rockprincess> stgraber: yeah i have it as an ogg file but now i'm going for the iso dvd file  :D
[04:59] <stgraber> here I have the m4v version, I didn't know that they published a DVD quality one

[05:33] <bddebian> Heya highvoltage

[05:33] <rockprincess> highvoltage: happy new year :D
[07:01] <highvoltage> nixternal: linux is *so* an operating system :)
[07:01] <nixternal> now i know :)
[07:01] <nixternal> i always thought of it as a kernel, thats what we were taught growing up in the 90s with linux :)
[07:02] <highvoltage> ah :)
[07:02] <nixternal> omg, im on the phone with my brother and he is trying to copy a dvd with nero and asking me how to do it. i haven't used windows in 5 years, so i am lost :)
[07:02] <highvoltage> I think of it this way, you can use a linux kernel on it's own in a initrd, with a single application that is passed to run from the kernel line, and it will still work on its own
[07:03] <highvoltage> heh, I get that too sometimes.
