| Takyoji | Out of sheer curiosity; does the "Ubuntu Help Center" seem to load a bit too slow? (System > Help and Support) | 00:28 |
|---|---|---|
| Takyoji | Initially takes like a few minutes just to open on my laptop. And took about a minute to load on my speedy desktop. | 00:28 |
| Takyoji | It's one of the reasons I step away from typical OS-provided help systems. It just seems to be slow and/or undeveloped/unorganized. | 00:35 |
| _diablo | I agree | 00:37 |
| Takyoji | thus I wonder if I should file a bug. | 00:38 |
| Takyoji | Apparently I get an error message on Google Chrome with any https request; even on Gmail | 01:31 |
| Takyoji | error message of "Error 107 (net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR): Unknown error." | 01:31 |
| Takyoji | Any updates with installfests? | 01:36 |
| Takyoji | I think we should update the Events page to reflect on the upcoming installfests | 01:36 |
| Takyoji | And as usual "we", typically resolves to "me".. | 01:59 |
| Takyoji | http://ubuntu-minnesota.org/events I've mildly updated it. | 01:59 |
| Takyoji | Anything I wasn't sure of I simply put in a HTML comment, rather than completely removing some content. | 01:59 |
| Takyoji | Ooo http://www.linux.com/news/embedded-mobile/netbooks/296251-a-review-ben-nanonote-gets-small-with-embedded-linux | 02:32 |
| _diablo | Takyoji: yeah, I'm on their mailing list | 02:39 |
| Takyoji | Too bad it doesn't have wireless support; because then I'd probably have it attached to me. | 02:39 |
| Takyoji | (in other words, in one of my pockets 24/7) | 02:40 |
| _diablo | yeah, exactly | 02:42 |
| _diablo | it would then be a wiki reader | 02:42 |
| _diablo | Takyoji: oh! you can make it an offline wikipedia reader! | 02:44 |
| _diablo | maybe I will actually get one... | 02:44 |
| Takyoji | There's that one device by OpenMoko that is such, if I remember correctly. | 02:47 |
| Takyoji | http://thewikireader.com/ | 02:47 |
| _diablo | Takyoji: holy cow, that's really cool | 03:14 |
| Takyoji | Bleh. Apparently the grade system that my school district just ran off and bought is apparently charged by $6 per student per year | 03:59 |
| Takyoji | Assuming 5000 students; that would mean $30,000 in software expenditures yearly... | 03:59 |
| Takyoji | of which requires a Windows server, and strictly a MSSQL database | 04:01 |
| Takyoji | Gotta love when a school district's technology is maintained by a person that tries for days to get to daemons to bind to the same port on the same server... | 04:02 |
| Takyoji | No comments? | 04:28 |
| Takyoji | oh and, they bought it about a year ago, and if I remember correctly, they still haven't figured out how to properly deploy it either. | 04:29 |
| _diablo | that is disgusting | 04:49 |
| _diablo | and a huge waste of taxpayers' dollars | 04:49 |
| Takyoji | and I just love how my district seems so secretive. They just run off and buy something; there's minimal public posting of things and so forth (to my observations) | 05:06 |
| * Takyoji wonders if tonyyarusso has access to changing details of such: http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-minnesota | 05:30 | |
| Takyoji | And I finally wrote and sent a message to someone that knows quite a bit of people in the local community, pleading for ideas for a location of an installfest in Faribault. | 05:56 |
| Takyoji | Hopefully it doesn't turn out in vain. | 05:56 |
| Takyoji | Egad, I wrote a message to the mailing list for once | 06:12 |
| === sparkle_history is now known as sparklehistory | ||
| === sparkle_history is now known as sparklehistory | ||
| Takyoji | Ooo, I may actually have a location now for an installfest. | 21:46 |
| Takyoji | And in other news, I've passed my driving test. | 21:46 |
| Takyoji | So everyone be sure to stay clear off the roads to not get accidentally hit whenever I drive by. :P | 21:47 |
| Leaf | Takyoji: congrats on that! | 21:48 |
| * Obsidian1723 welp, time to boot Lucid and check it out | 22:36 | |
