[00:28] <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.
[00:35] <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.
[00:37] <_diablo> I agree
[00:38] <Takyoji> thus I wonder if I should file a bug.
[01:31] <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."
[01:36] <Takyoji> Any updates with installfests?
[01:36] <Takyoji> I think we should update the Events page to reflect on the upcoming installfests
[01:59] <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.
[02:32] <Takyoji> Ooo http://www.linux.com/news/embedded-mobile/netbooks/296251-a-review-ben-nanonote-gets-small-with-embedded-linux
[02:39] <_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.
[02:40] <Takyoji> (in other words, in one of my pockets 24/7)
[02:42] <_diablo> yeah, exactly
[02:42] <_diablo> it would then be a wiki reader
[02:44] <_diablo> Takyoji: oh! you can make it an offline wikipedia reader!
[02:44] <_diablo> maybe I will actually get one...
[02:47] <Takyoji> There's that one device by OpenMoko that is such, if I remember correctly.
[02:47] <Takyoji> http://thewikireader.com/
[03:14] <_diablo> Takyoji: holy cow, that's really cool
[03:59] <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...
[04:01] <Takyoji> of which requires a Windows server, and strictly a MSSQL database
[04:02] <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...
[04:28] <Takyoji> No comments?
[04:29] <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.
[04:49] <_diablo> that is disgusting
[04:49] <_diablo> and a huge waste of taxpayers' dollars
[05:06] <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)
[05:30]  * Takyoji wonders if tonyyarusso has access to changing details of such: http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-minnesota
[05:56] <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.
[06:12] <Takyoji> Egad, I wrote a message to the mailing list for once
=== sparkle_history is now known as sparklehistory
=== sparkle_history is now known as sparklehistory
[21:46] <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.
[21:47] <Takyoji> So everyone be sure to stay clear off the roads to not get accidentally hit whenever I drive by. :P
[21:48] <Leaf> Takyoji: congrats on that!
[22:36]  * Obsidian1723 welp, time to boot Lucid and check it out
