[00:58] <andersk> Okay, this is going to sound crazy. Compiz animations are now sliding my mouse pointer across the screen all by itself.
[00:58] <andersk> When I open a window, the mouse pointer slides away from it, and when I close a window, the mouse pointer slides toward it.
[03:17] <DanaG> Mmm, gotta' love having cable modem and router on a UPS.
[03:17] <DanaG> Power is out right now... but I am not out.  =þ
[05:58] <Splex> DanaG, yeah exactly :)
[05:58] <DanaG> huh?
[05:58] <DanaG> Oh yeah, power came back a while ago.
[05:59] <Splex> Having router/cable modem on UPS
[05:59] <Splex> when all is dark... still hooked up
[05:59] <DanaG> Dad's UPS is rather weak, though: lasted only 30 minutes, powering cable modem, router, cable-based phone adapter (for landline), and an iMac in S3 suspend-to-RAM.
[05:59] <Splex> even better... have a backup generator that kicks in
[06:01] <DanaG> Oh yeah, the phone thing really is valuable... it gives you time to find the phone number of the power company, and then use even the land line to call them.
[06:01] <Splex> phone thing?
[06:03] <DanaG> Most informative non-advertising-ey thing: http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/5896556/claims.html
[06:03] <DanaG> Interestingly enough, the box has an ethernet port that would render the cable modem redundant... but Charter doesn't use it. :(
[06:04] <DanaG> Another very handy thing: if you buy a computer that has Intel AMT as an option.... buy it with it enabled.
[06:04] <DanaG> There's nothing quite like having a network-accessible serial port, for getting complete traces of kernel panics and such.
[06:05] <Splex> oh, telephone over cable modem
[06:05] <DanaG> yeah.
[06:06] <DanaG> I wish they would consolidate the devices... it'd save a few watts.
[06:06] <Splex> id like to see things become more simplified... would help with security issues too
[06:07] <Splex> it seems like things are becoming so bloated
[06:10] <Splex> the focus for companies is coming out with new products for people to buy... rather than simplification.
[06:10] <Splex> optimization
[06:54] <DanaG> heh, g-p-m says I have 9 minutes; ACPI says I have 20.
[07:14] <bexamous> 20 minutes I guss
[07:23] <Splex> yess, better trust acpi it seems
[07:33] <DanaG> Odd... gnome-power-manager seems to be confused.  It shows battery discharge time profile like this:
[07:33] <DanaG> X axis: percentage; Y axis: time; line: flat at y=0.
[07:34] <DanaG> Perhaps I should file a bug on that, and attach the .csv files.

[21:22] <DanaG> stupid iwlagn... blinking on activity is very very annoying.
[21:26] <DanaG> Aah, much better.  Fixed it.
[21:30] <DanaG> I also fixed the battery reporting; I just removed all the bogus profiling records, and copied back just one valid one.

[23:15] <skyjumper> nvidia currently broken in jaunty?
[23:16] <andersk> You need to add Section "ServerFlags" Option "IgnoreABI" "True" EndSection to your xorg.conf.
[23:24] <skyjumper> how about the xserver-xorg-core conflict?
