| Takyoji | Anyone testing Lucid still? | 02:05 |
|---|---|---|
| Obsidian1723 | not I. | 02:05 |
| Obsidian1723 | I may not upgrade to it. | 02:06 |
| Takyoji | If only I knew a little more of various development paradigms | 02:16 |
| ripps | I've been using Lucid since Alpha 1 | 02:28 |
| kermit | tonyyarusso: did you see the TED video about open formats? | 02:29 |
| tonyyarusso | kermit: I don't think I did. | 02:29 |
| tonyyarusso | Takyoji: I have Lucid on a VM and a laptop. | 02:30 |
| kermit | tonyyarusso: i don't know which one i saw, but these are related http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/tim_berners_lee_on_the_next_web.html http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/tim_berners_lee_the_year_open_data_went_worldwide.html | 02:32 |
| Takyoji | Was just curious if anyone else was having the boot issue of a missing file or not; of which I've found the answer to | 02:32 |
| kermit | tonyyarusso: do you do a lot of data mining? that's probably my strongest skill. | 02:35 |
| kermit | (and i need a job) | 02:35 |
| tonyyarusso | kermit: nope | 02:35 |
| tonyyarusso | Right now for work I mostly do technical writing. | 02:35 |
| kermit | tonyyarusso: oh, i recall you talking about data formats a few times (kml, the .ntr..) | 02:37 |
| tonyyarusso | Yeah, those would be from random things I try to do in my personal life :P | 02:38 |
| tonyyarusso | The KML because I'm trying to put together a web site about hiking trails. | 02:38 |
| Adremelech | does anyone here use hdmi on their computer? | 03:24 |
| Adremelech | w/ audio? | 03:24 |
| * Takyoji doesn't | 03:24 | |
| kermit | isn't HDMI a key step in turning your PC into a cable box? | 03:27 |
| kermit | end to end DRM | 03:27 |
| kermit | i get chills when i see the acronym | 03:27 |
| Takyoji | To my understanding, yes | 03:28 |
| tonyyarusso | That's true, but you can also use it for non-DRMd purposes. | 03:31 |
| Takyoji | HDMI is patent-encumbered while DisplayPort isn't, correct? Or? | 03:33 |
| tonyyarusso | No idea | 03:33 |
| * tonyyarusso is still using D-SUB VGA connections | 03:33 | |
| tonyyarusso | Takyoji: while I have you here, what's the status of a release event for MN South? | 03:36 |
| Takyoji | I'm going to email some people right now about getting a location yet. | 03:37 |
| tonyyarusso | Same question goes out to jenkinbr, exigraff, ripps, and h00k for NE, mr_steve for Metro West. | 03:37 |
| kermit | Takyoji: i recall something making me like displayport a lot better, relating to IP | 03:38 |
| tonyyarusso | Takyoji: okay, keep us posted | 03:38 |
| kermit | HDMI has CEC and royalties, DisplayPort doestn | 03:39 |
| Adremelech | i could help out with metro west stuff, but i dont really have experience with such things | 03:40 |
| tonyyarusso | Adremelech: None needed. | 03:41 |
| Adremelech | what does it entail? | 03:41 |
| tonyyarusso | Adremelech: A release event can be just about anything, from a social event at a restaurant to someone's house to an all-day installfest with speakers and the whole works. | 03:41 |
| Adremelech | coolio | 03:42 |
| tonyyarusso | organizing such a thing included choosing an event type, date, time, setting up a location, announcing the details on the web site and mailing list, possibly distributing flyers if you can, etc. | 03:42 |
| tonyyarusso | But by far the biggest thing is just deciding you're going to do something and telling us what it is and when. | 03:43 |
| tonyyarusso | Friday/Saturday/Sunday immediately following release (which happens on Thursday) is most common. | 03:43 |
| Adremelech | well, if it is going o be an installfest, i could help installing, but with my limited schedule thats about it | 03:44 |
| Adremelech | 80-100 hour work weeks suck :| | 03:44 |
| tonyyarusso | last fall we had two in Minnesota. One in St. Paul that was an installfest with a speaker from Canonical, and one that was actually in Superior, WI but drew from NE MN too that was a meetup for food & drinks at a restaurant. | 03:44 |
| Adremelech | well, 40-50 technically | 03:44 |
| tonyyarusso | It's the organizing that really needs work right now. | 03:45 |
| tonyyarusso | I want to see 5 or more events of some kind in the state for Lucid. | 03:45 |
| Adremelech | if someone could come up with some fliers, i could put them out on the counter at my work | 03:46 |
| Adremelech | i get a fair amount of technology oriented people in my store | 03:46 |
| tonyyarusso | If we get the date, time, & location decided within the next couple of weeks we can get flyers printed free. But you have to organize the details to put on the flyers first. | 03:46 |
| Adremelech | indeed | 03:47 |
| sparklehistory | tonyyarusso: What's the release date? | 03:51 |
| tonyyarusso | !lucid | 03:52 |
| ubot3 | Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 | 03:52 |
| tonyyarusso | gah, darn your database lag ubot3. | 03:52 |
| sparklehistory | tonyyarusso: So we don't have an actual date yet? | 03:53 |
| tonyyarusso | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule | 03:53 |
| tonyyarusso | Of course we do - it was set ages ago. | 03:53 |
| sparklehistory | Ah, April 29 | 03:53 |
| sparklehistory | tonyyarusso: So we'd be looking at April 30 and May 1 and 2 for release party dates then? | 03:55 |
| tonyyarusso | sparklehistory: as the ones that make the most sense, but that's not required. | 03:56 |
| tonyyarusso | it can be June 19th if you want. | 03:56 |
| sparklehistory | lol | 03:56 |
| sparklehistory | Well that weekend is going to suck for me - exams start Monday, May 3. | 03:56 |
| tonyyarusso | So study now instead of cramming. | 03:58 |
| sparklehistory | Yeah, that always works better in theory than in practice | 04:00 |
| tonyyarusso | The same can be said of cramming. | 04:00 |
| sparklehistory | Frankly I prefer a mixture of both, I like to do my outlining and preparing study materials a few weeks before exams but it's important to review everything right before as well so it's fresh in my mind. | 04:02 |
| Takyoji | I just learn it all once. :D | 04:02 |
| Takyoji | of course, I'm merely in high school. :P | 04:03 |
| sparklehistory | That's less practical when you have one exam that counts for 100% of your grade. | 04:11 |
| tonyyarusso | but normal people don't have those. | 04:11 |
| sparklehistory | But I do and therefore I have to studing accordingly. | 04:12 |
| tonyyarusso | But you don't get to complain :) | 04:12 |
| sparklehistory | Why not? | 04:12 |
| tonyyarusso | because you're the one that chose to go to crazy school. | 04:13 |
| sparklehistory | Fine, then you don't get to complain about the idiots in your classes because you chose to go to your school. | 04:15 |
| kermit | which schools do you two go to? | 04:18 |
| Takyoji | Heh: http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.goto.php | 04:18 |
| Takyoji | Apparently some complimentary xkcd comics in the PHP documentation. :P | 04:18 |
| tonyyarusso | Metro State | 04:19 |
| sparklehistory | I'm in law school. | 04:21 |
| kermit | how generic of a name for a school | 04:23 |
| tonyyarusso | Lucid's been kind of disappointing as a development release cycle so far - I haven't had it become unbootable ONCE! | 04:27 |
| Takyoji | Today is my first day for such. :P | 04:30 |
| Takyoji | Due to a file being renamed; and I had updated between the change of the file name, and tweaking the files that depend on it. | 04:30 |
