| emunkki | hi newz2000 | 16:10 |
|---|---|---|
| newz2000 | howdy emunkki | 16:10 |
| emunkki | i'm trying to get my vmware-mulated windows to shut down >__< | 16:11 |
| emunkki | it's SO unresponsive | 16:11 |
| emunkki | might be because of vmware as well, but still i think it's windows which causes the most of the problem | 16:12 |
| newz2000 | have you tried virtualbox? | 16:12 |
| emunkki | hmm | 16:12 |
| emunkki | nope | 16:12 |
| newz2000 | it's got this slick "seemless" mode and folder sharing | 16:12 |
| newz2000 | so that folders in your home directory show as network drives | 16:12 |
| newz2000 | for me with xp its very responsive | 16:13 |
| emunkki | but it's not for 64? | 16:13 |
| newz2000 | oh, don't know actually | 16:13 |
| emunkki | and does it use the devices natively on windows or through linux? | 16:13 |
| newz2000 | I think you can choose... | 16:13 |
| emunkki | ok | 16:13 |
| emunkki | because the reason why i need vmware is photoshop working effectively with a wacom tablet | 16:14 |
| newz2000 | the only problem where I like vmware better is if you're using wifi then you have to use the NAT networking which means you can't run a server | 16:14 |
| emunkki | linux can't handle them as good as windows, yet | 16:14 |
| newz2000 | ah, haven't tried that | 16:14 |
| emunkki | photoshop cs2 would run on wine, though :P | 16:14 |
| emunkki | just waiting for the better wacom support | 16:14 |
| emunkki | anyway, will boot now to get responsive vmware-windows back -> | 16:15 |
| newz2000 | emunkki: would you be OK with me using your kubuntu start page mockup as part of an email newsletter template for ubuntu/canonical newsletters? | 17:02 |
| emunkki | newz2000, sure | 17:06 |
| newz2000 | cool | 17:06 |
| emunkki | newz2000, if you want, you can put my name there | 17:06 |
| emunkki | newz2000, Pasi Lallinaho // emunkki | 17:07 |
| newz2000 | would you be ok if I just gave you credit for the idea when communicating with people about the mockup? I'm not sure its appropriate (or desirable for you) to have your name in the emails | 17:08 |
| emunkki | yeah that's ok as well | 17:08 |
| newz2000 | ok, I'll make sure to praise your name when I show it off | 17:08 |
| newz2000 | :-) | 17:08 |
| emunkki | hehe ok ;) | 17:09 |
| emunkki | i already got two new commercial projects today :o | 17:09 |
| newz2000 | is this what you do for a living? | 17:09 |
| emunkki | a few people has ASKED my client for my contact information | 17:09 |
| emunkki | yes, definately :) | 17:09 |
| newz2000 | where are you located? | 17:10 |
| emunkki | that's why i'm so superior ;)) | 17:10 |
| emunkki | finlanf | 17:10 |
| emunkki | *f=d | 17:10 |
| newz2000 | dinland? | 17:10 |
| newz2000 | :-) | 17:10 |
| emunkki | lol | 17:10 |
| emunkki | i always get typos when i write "finland" | 17:10 |
| emunkki | if i don't especially try hard to write it correctly | 17:11 |
| emunkki | basically i would be very interested and open for international clients as well... | 17:11 |
| emunkki | i might even be able to live abroad for some time | 17:11 |
| newz2000 | ever thought of moving to Des Moines Iowa USA? | 17:12 |
| newz2000 | just a bit of an inside joke actually | 17:12 |
| emunkki | lol :D | 17:13 |
| emunkki | nope | 17:13 |
| newz2000 | most of the design work I know about is here (in Iowa where I'm at) | 17:13 |
| emunkki | let me specify: i would be able to live abroad @europe for some time ;) | 17:13 |
| emunkki | really, states are too far away from my life | 17:14 |
| emunkki | as is asia | 17:14 |
| newz2000 | I know how it is actually | 17:14 |
| emunkki | though it seems that all the indian webdesigners already work @finland :P | 17:14 |
| emunkki | (i see them A LOT when i go to my studies) | 17:15 |
| newz2000 | you're a student too? | 17:15 |
| emunkki | they're working nearby a train station which is along my route to studies | 17:16 |
| emunkki | yes | 17:16 |
| emunkki | i'm studying to be a youth leader/social worker | 17:16 |
| emunkki | that's my another passion, but it has had a bit smaller role in my life for some time already | 17:16 |
| newz2000 | what does a youth leader in finland do? | 17:17 |
| emunkki | well uhmm... | 17:17 |
| emunkki | can do a lot ;) | 17:17 |
| emunkki | basically just organises happenings | 17:17 |
| emunkki | depends on if he/she is working on community/city or parish | 17:18 |
| emunkki | actually my title would be "bachelor of social services" | 17:18 |
| emunkki | but i'm deepening into young people and that's why i also get the right to work as a youth leader in parishes | 17:18 |
| emunkki | and i'm gonna also get a possibility to work as a missionary secretary or sth :P | 17:19 |
| emunkki | don't really know what that person does, i've only seen one and he walked around the place all day long looking busy | 17:20 |
| emunkki | i never catched him doing anything proper in a year | 17:20 |
| newz2000 | I've known people like that too | 17:20 |
| emunkki | but that's what a lot of people think of us graphic designers also : | 17:21 |
| emunkki | :P | 17:21 |
| newz2000 | gotta find inspiration | 17:21 |
| emunkki | yeah | 17:21 |
| emunkki | my mother always says that i don't do any proper job | 17:21 |
| emunkki | but still my salary is way higher than her | 17:21 |
| emunkki | ;) | 17:21 |
| emunkki | or earnings to be correct | 17:22 |
| emunkki | because salary <<< earnings | 17:22 |
| newz2000 | I've tried to describe my job to my parents too... my mom kind of gets it but my dad is still pretty clueless | 17:22 |
| emunkki | heh | 17:23 |
| emunkki | what do you actually do? | 17:23 |
| newz2000 | I'm the Ubuntu.com webmaster | 17:23 |
| emunkki | is your salary a secret? | 17:23 |
| newz2000 | probably best | 17:23 |
| emunkki | :) | 17:24 |
| newz2000 | but it may not be relevant across countries any how | 17:24 |
| emunkki | ywah | 17:24 |
| emunkki | w=e | 17:24 |
| newz2000 | even here in the US Iowa has a pretty low cost of living | 17:24 |
| emunkki | yeah, well finland is a pretty expensive country | 17:24 |
| emunkki | and euro is a lot stronger than us dollar | 17:24 |
| emunkki | at least atm | 17:24 |
| emunkki | it's so damn cheap to order cds from there :P | 17:25 |
| newz2000 | what about shipping? | 17:25 |
| emunkki | well, last time i ordered a cd from an amazon marketplace seller: | 17:25 |
| emunkki | cd: 3,10 - shipping: 4,40 (in euros) | 17:25 |
| emunkki | so that's it's bad side | 17:26 |
| emunkki | though cds cost like 20-25 euros here | 17:26 |
| newz2000 | wow | 17:26 |
| emunkki | without shipping, if you order them to your home | 17:26 |
| newz2000 | if cds cost that much here p2p would be unstoppable | 17:26 |
| newz2000 | (though it probably is anyway) | 17:27 |
| emunkki | well do you think it's stoppable here in finland? ;) | 17:27 |
| emunkki | i think there was a research that 80% of the families in finland download illegal material in finland | 17:27 |
| newz2000 | I meant "no one in the US would buy the CDs" | 17:27 |
| emunkki | or was it 60% - but that isn't the actual percent anyway | 17:27 |
| emunkki | and that concerns only families, not individual persons | 17:28 |
| ryanakca | newz2000: ping, I'll be back on August 28th, family vacation. I might manage to stop by on IRC once or twice. | 19:36 |
| newz2000 | ryanakca: ok, have fun. | 19:50 |
| newz2000 | I think I'll be away some of that same time | 19:50 |
