[07:14] <RichEd> highvoltage: ping
[07:20] <highvoltage> RichEd: pong
[07:20] <highvoltage> greetingz
[07:22] <LaserJock> morning South Africaners
[07:22] <LaserJock> hmm, don't think that's right
[07:24] <highvoltage> heh, probably "South Africans"
[07:24] <highvoltage> hi Americano
[07:24] <highvoltage> :p
[07:24] <LaserJock> :-)
[07:25] <jsgotangco> hey you western people
[07:26] <LaserJock> hmm, I think I'm more eastern for you ;-)
[07:26] <jsgotangco> really now
[07:26] <jsgotangco> not like the "far east"
[07:26] <jsgotangco> hehe
[07:26] <jsgotangco> or the oriental east
[07:26] <RichEd> LaserJock: right (almost in 2 languages) South Africans = correct for the english folk
[07:27] <RichEd> Suid Afrikaners for the Afrikaans folk
[07:27] <LaserJock> ahh, I was just mixing up my Afrikaans ;-)
[07:29] <jsgotangco> suid eh?
[07:29] <jsgotangco> like sticky bits in a directory
[07:36] <RichEd> suid = bastardised zuid = south in german
[07:38] <LaserJock> all these languages
[07:38] <LaserJock> poor Americans just can't keep up
[07:38] <LaserJock> ;-)
[07:42] <RichEd> LaserJock: most of them still can't speak english ... sox. eeze donout
[07:42] <RichEd> *donut doh
[07:46] <LaserJock> some do better than others for sure
[07:48] <LaserJock> I have a goal of learning 1 other language before I die
[07:57] <highvoltage> LaserJock: what else do they speak close to you? I would guess Spanish?
[07:57] <LaserJock> yes
[07:57] <LaserJock> lots and lots of spanish
[08:05] <cafuego_> RichEd: Dutch, not german.
[08:09] <RichEd> cafuego_: afrikaans originated as a "kitchen language" a mix of english, dutch, german and local "native" languages ... i mix up the exact root language some times :)
[08:12] <cafuego_> RichEd: <heh>
[08:13] <cafuego_> I can't let you give my pretty dutch words to those bastard germans.
[08:14] <LaserJock> lol
[08:19] <RichEd> cafuego_: now let's not be nasty
[08:19] <cafuego_> I have to, we get taught in school <heh>
[08:22] <RichEd> show a little love for your EU neighbours ... you can do it ... imagine if *they* were allowed to blame their actions on what they were taught.
[08:37] <highvoltage> LaserJock: you are so not what we are taught to expect from a typical american stereotype :)
[08:37] <LaserJock> heh
[08:38] <highvoltage> /clear !!!
[08:38] <highvoltage> :)
[08:38] <LaserJock> I feel better about IRC hugs from people I haven't slept in the same room with ;-)
[08:39] <highvoltage> I think as long as both of us agree that the hugs should stay in IRC, it's fine
[08:39] <LaserJock> agreed
[08:39] <highvoltage> deal!
[08:40] <RichEd> (joke)
[08:54] <cafuego_> RichEd: Oh, we love the belgians and french and english...
[08:55] <RichEd> careful now ... my family name is Weideman ;)
[08:56] <ajmitch> cafuego_: you're not biased towards the dutch, are you?
[08:56] <anestis> hi there from Greece
[08:57] <cafuego_> RichEd: Aha!
[08:57] <cafuego_> RichEd: yes, I saw you wandering around at LCA.
[08:57] <cafuego_> RichEd: Don't worry though, some of my best friends are german ;-)
[08:57] <RichEd> Hello Anestis
[08:58] <RichEd> anestis: did you get my email ? is the meeting confirmed for today ?
[08:59] <anestis> i had a problem in email and didn't receive it
[08:59] <anestis> but at least we can chat
[09:00] <RichEd> good ... if we are talking about edulinux, then we can use the #edulinux channel
[09:00] <anestis> did you see the message I send personaly to you ?
[09:00] <LaserJock> is there a website for it?
[09:00] <RichEd> antoniiou and adiba are in there now
[09:00] <anestis> who is adiba?
[09:00] <RichEd> LaserJock: just a web page for the moment
[09:01] <RichEd> adiba = Adrian Banu
[09:01] <anestis> ok
[09:01] <anestis> i send a message to you, did you get it?
[09:01] <RichEd> anestis: you can use this comman /join #edulinux or you can right click on the underlined #edulinux to join
[09:01] <LaserJock> I keep finding some old project
[09:01] <RichEd> anestis: no ...
[09:02] <RichEd> check your FreeNode message window ... it may tell you that you are not registered
[09:02] <anestis> then i'll check what is wrong
[09:02] <anestis> till then i'll use this
[09:02] <RichEd> if you want to send people private messages, you need to reguster your nickname
[09:02] <anestis> ok
[09:03] <RichEd> can you type /join #edulinux as the first letters on a new line and i will see you in there with the others
[09:10] <anestis> RichEd did you received my pm
[09:11] <RichEd> yes i see the window now ... going there
[09:24] <RichEd> hi anestis
[09:24] <RichEd> are you having problems ?
[09:54] <RichEd> anestis: I lost my connection for a minute or two
[09:54] <RichEd> see new messages in private window
[10:59] <adamix> a question for ltsp guru: with last edubuntu updates did anyone know something about problems with usb pen on edubuntu client?
[11:04] <RichEd> adamix: try on #lstp ... there is high edubuntu awareness there
[11:05] <RichEd> also please ping ogra if you have a serious issue ... he'll want to know about it
[11:09] <adamix> ok, thank you RichEd
[11:09] <RichEd> :)
[12:41] <highvoltage> anyone happen to know whether booting an nbi enabled kernel on a pxe machine is a bad idea?
[12:42] <highvoltage> it seems that the dhcp trick in the default edubuntu makes the clients boot to an nbi kernel on some machines
[12:42] <highvoltage> I couldn't see any strange results though
[12:49] <ogra> highvoltage, i was pondering to switch to a single image, its like that since quite some time already ...
[12:49] <ogra> since there seem to be no bad side effects we could save some space
[12:50] <highvoltage> ogra: that's what I thought too. If the NBI image works well on both, then there's not much need for the pxe-only version
[12:50] <highvoltage> ogra: I've only noticed it recently though :)
[12:50] <ogra> it's like that in edgy
[12:50] <highvoltage> aah, then it sounds about right
[12:51] <ogra> should be a minor change to ltsp-update-kernels ... i'll put it on my todo
[12:58] <highvoltage> kewl
[01:57] <jsgotangco> highvoltage: you there?
[02:00] <maccam94> anybody here, or just idlers?
[02:00] <jsgotangco> no
[02:00] <jsgotangco> im alive
[02:00] <maccam94> i'm trying to plan an (ed)ubuntu deployment
[02:00] <jsgotangco> ;)
[02:00] <maccam94> sweet
[02:01] <maccam94> ok, i'm working on a proposal at the moment for replacing 700 high school computers' xp installations with (ed)ubuntu
[02:01] <maccam94> the computers are all networked, have 2ghz pentium 4's, 256mb of ram, and 40gb hd's
[02:01] <maccam94> the configurations are essentially identical
[02:03] <maccam94> what I want to accomplish with the new setup is network-wide logins, a networked /home directory, and have the computers only show nearby printers
[02:05] <jsgotangco> hrmmmm
[02:05] <jsgotangco> the guru isn't here
[02:05] <maccam94> i want something kind of like ltsp i think, but i want the computers to be kind of "thick" clients
[02:06] <maccam94> jsgotangco, who would the "guru" be, and when is he usually around?
[02:06] <jsgotangco> you can ask ogra but he's probably busy at the momnet
[02:47] <highvoltage> edubuntugirl: tell jsgotangco ping
[02:47] <edubuntugirl> Righto, highvoltage!
[03:22] <willvdl> highvoltage and edubuntugirl have a "special" relationship
[03:40] <jsgotangco> yes!
[03:40] <edubuntugirl> jsgotangco: by the way, highvoltage told me to tell you 'ping' 52 minutes and 50 seconds ago (on Fri Feb  9 15:47:37 2007)
