[02:46] <sbalneav> Evening
[02:52] <dgroos> sbalneav: Good eve
[03:03] <dgroos> sbalneav: I've wanted to get back to you about Sabayon (thanks again).  I've got a question about it and a couple of ideas and am curious as to what you are thinking about it.
[03:04] <sbalneav> I'm thinking it needs more work :)
[03:04] <dgroos> I've been excessively busy but finally got my Plone site working again so all part of the puzzle are on the table, finally!
[03:04] <sbalneav> I'm applying for an upstream gnome account as we speak, and federico's going to sponsor me.
[03:04] <dgroos> I can focus more of my attention on teaching...
[03:05] <dgroos> He's the one who initiated Sabayon?
[03:05] <sbalneav> No
[03:05] <sbalneav> he's been maintaining it for the last few years.
[03:05] <dgroos> Oh.
[03:05] <sbalneav> but earlier this afternoon, in #sabayon
[03:05] <sbalneav> :
[03:05] <sbalneav> < federico> sbalneav: you aren't stepping on anyone's toes - sabayon is right now a one-man show (you) plus me just making tarballs :)
[03:06] <sbalneav> So, apparently, it's a one-man show :)
[03:07] <dgroos> hmmm... gives lots of room for artistic freedom, I'd say ;)
[03:08] <dgroos> I just checked out #sabayon and isn't that a distro?
[03:08] <sbalneav> No
[03:08] <sbalneav> well, yes
[03:08] <sbalneav> sabayon is a distro
[03:08] <sbalneav> but the sabayon GNOME project is soemthing different.
[03:08] <sbalneav> the #sabayon channel isn't on freenode
[03:08] <sbalneav> it's on gnome's IRC server.
[03:09] <dgroos> OK still working to figure out this structure--probably till the day I die...
[03:10] <dgroos> sbalneav: gotta hit the sack.  Hope to be on more this weekend--'see' you then perhaps!
[03:10] <sbalneav> So, what's your question?
[03:12] <dgroos> kinda complex--catch you this weekend?
[03:13] <sbalneav> Well, I'll be at the cottage closing up
[16:08] <lfaraone> If I want to set up a local app that needs to be able to write in its own directory, can that be done?
[16:09] <sbalneav> Anything's possible :)
[16:09] <sbalneav> just might need some modification to the localapps code.
[16:09] <sbalneav> but out-of-the-box, no.
[16:11] <sbalneav> which app is it you're trying to run locally?
[16:35] <lfaraone> sbalneav: It's Alice, from http://alice.org
[16:37] <mhall119|work> Alice is cool
[16:37] <alkisg> lfaraone: is that under wine?
[16:39] <alkisg> Or plain java? /me thinks you might be able to use the newer version of ltsp that follows symlinks...
[16:43] <mhall119|work> Alice is just plain Java
[19:27] <sbalneav> Karmic UNR is freaking AWESOME
[19:27] <MenZa> orly?
[19:27] <sbalneav> EVERYTHING works out of the box.
[19:27] <sbalneav> Even the wireless LED light \o/
[19:27] <sbalneav> on my little acer aspire one.
[19:41] <jbicha> sbalneav: and the UNR interface performs so much better than in previous versions where it was just too slow & clumsy
[19:46] <jbicha> I'm waiting for Mary Lou Jepsen to release her fancy LCD screen replacement since I cracked my AAO screen
[19:46] <sbalneav> seems pretty peppy
[20:08] <mhall119|work> will UNR 9.04 upgrade itself to UNR 9.10?
[20:09] <jbicha> mhall119|work: I'm pretty sure upgrading to Karmic will work fine
[20:10]  * mhall119|work will have to try it on his wife's netbook
