[05:06] <FCM> hey i'm setting up my office with an ltsp server and a couple of the agents want to have dual monitor support. I also had a request for compiz-fusion... Can someone point me in the right direction?
[04:46] <sbalneav> Morning all
[04:47] <highvoltage> hi there sbalneav
[04:48] <sbalneav> Hey highvoltage!
[04:48] <highvoltage> I found out today that the medication I've been on the last two years have been making me sick.
[04:48] <highvoltage> well, suspected it since last week, doctor confirmed today
[04:49] <highvoltage> I feel fantastic, since I stopped taking it last week
[04:51] <sbalneav> What medication were you on?
[04:51] <sbalneav> If that's not too personal a question.
[05:21] <highvoltage> sbalneav: it was medication for cholesterol. it worked great, my cholesterol levels have been safe since I started taking it
[05:21] <highvoltage> sbalneav: but the side effect very gradually got worse. I gradually started feeling better very quickly since I stopped taking it last week
[05:22] <highvoltage> I'm going to start using an alternative from today, hopefuly it doesn't have any nasty side-effects.
[05:22] <ogra> highvoltage, are you over 30 yet ?
[05:23] <highvoltage> ogra: nope
[05:23] <highvoltage> ogra: would you believe me if I told you I was?
[05:23] <highvoltage> :)
[05:23] <ogra> so why do you care yet :)
[05:24] <highvoltage> ogra: I guess the medical profession just decided that they need to make money from me!
[05:24] <ogra> cholesterol levels are very much depending on what you eat and how you live .. just have less fat ....
[05:25] <ogra> and they wont really harm you in young ages .... scott and i are the ones that should start looking at it ;)
[05:25] <highvoltage> I did decide this morning that if the doctor tells me I should continue taking these pills, that I'd rather take my chances with the cholesterol
[05:25] <highvoltage> it's better to burn out than fade out :)
[05:25] <highvoltage> but luckily the doctor agreed with me
[05:25] <sbalneav> Beleive it or not, every time I get my cholestoral tested, it's so insanely low, my doctor can't beleive it.
[05:25] <sbalneav> It's like 2.something
[05:26] <highvoltage> I can't describe how difficult the last few weeks have been. I couldn't think properly any more. I've even been like that to a degree at the UDS, but I didn't notice it so much yet.
[05:26] <sbalneav> He keeps asking me if I take steroids because apparently, the only way you get cholesterol as low as mine if if you're on 'roids.
[05:26] <highvoltage> sbalneav: wow. mine was 9 about two years back. which is very high.
[05:26] <highvoltage> it's been to about 4.5 since I started taking the pils.
[05:27] <sbalneav> I tell him the reason my cholestorol is so low is because it's all deposited on my aorta :)
[05:27] <highvoltage> sbalneav: haha!
[05:27] <highvoltage> I've done more work today than I've probably gotten done the last 6 weeks or so. It feels good to be myself again.
[05:28] <ogra> mine is always slightly to high
[05:28] <ogra> but not "worrying to high"
[05:28] <highvoltage> ogra: well, just a tip. if a doctor ever suggests you use simvastatin, kindly say "no thanks!"
[05:29] <ogra> heh
[05:29] <ogra>  wont take any pils unless they can prove me it really helps ;)
[05:29] <ogra> *pills as well ...
[05:29] <ogra> i know pils helps :)
[05:30] <highvoltage> I did some investigating yesterday, and a lot of websites suggests that a lot of people with slightly high collesterol won't need the pills, even though the doctors will convince them that it is
[05:30] <highvoltage> if your good cholesterol is high enough, your bad cholesterol isn't such a big issue
[05:31] <ogra> but you never know ... i'll have to see a doctor next week if i'm home again ... somethings wrong with my throat ... but i doubt they will blame cholestorol ;)
[05:31] <highvoltage> you've been yelling too much at the core-dev team!
[05:31] <ogra> nah....
[05:31] <sbalneav> Please say you don't have a persistent cough.
[05:32] <ogra> sbalneav, no cough ... i fear its worse ...
[05:32] <sbalneav> hmm
[05:32] <highvoltage> when I first started to notice my symptoms, I also thought it would be much worse. I thought it might be a brain tumour or something
[05:33] <highvoltage> ogra: yep, better get it checked out
[05:33] <ogra> well, i have one dead tooth apparently ... that has to go ... my big hope is that my enormous swollen lymphs are cuased by that
[05:34] <highvoltage> my father had problems with his teeth too that caused problems elsewhere. it's strange how teeth can affect so many other parts.
[05:34] <ogra> yeah
[06:46] <cyrix^da> hi
[09:25] <highvoltage> LaserJock
[09:25] <LaserJock> anybody seen ogra today?
[09:26] <LaserJock> hi highvoltage
[09:26] <highvoltage> hi LaserJock
[09:26] <highvoltage> LaserJock: how's the burnout coming along?
[09:26] <LaserJock> heh
[09:26] <LaserJock> it'll take a while
[09:26] <LaserJock> still trying to get away a little
[09:26] <highvoltage> I've had just the opposite the last few days. I'll blog about it :)
[09:27] <highvoltage> yes, I thought we'd have to miss you from IRC for a while
[09:27] <LaserJock> well, I need to get ahold of ogra and RichEd
[09:27] <LaserJock> but they don't seem to be available at the moment :(
[10:22] <lynn_> does any one know where to specify which ethernet card I want to use for ltsp?
[10:22] <lynn_> I changed it out and the new one shows up as eth2 instead of eth1
[10:25] <cyrix^da> http://cyrix.homelinux.org/error.jpg
[10:25] <cyrix^da> what do i wrong?
[10:37] <Burgundavia> lynn_: that is determined via which card dhcpd is bound to
[11:57] <lynn_> is all the flash video on thin-clients super choppy?
