[12:04] <Balsaq> if i change my ubuntu to edubuntu...what exactly am i doing? is it just the design of the desktop environment?
[12:04] <Balsaq> and i realize that i chose the grade level of the kids
[12:04] <Balsaq> choose*
[14:26] <LaserJock> hello Edubuntuland
[15:04] <mhall119> hey, it's LaserJock
[15:05] <mhall119> where have you been man?
[15:11] <LaserJock> workin'
[15:11] <LaserJock> been pretty busy with research
[15:12] <LaserJock> mhall119: how you been?
[15:13] <mhall119> good good
[15:13] <mhall119> going back to school now
[15:14] <mhall119> getting ready for 6 crazy months of Qimo and Edubuntu hacking
[16:08] <LaserJock> mhall119: what are you studying?
[16:55] <highvoltage> hey LaserJock, good to see you here again
[16:57] <mhall119> LaserJock: Information Technology, a rather boring subject, but I mostly just wanted a 4-year degree
[16:59] <LaserJock> mhall119: makes sense
[16:59] <LaserJock> mhall119: I spent my first semester in college as an IT major
[17:00] <mhall119> learning about Singularity now, the only interesting class I've got this semester
[17:00] <LaserJock> but then I took General Chemistry and spent the next 11 years dealing with the consequences ;-)
[17:00] <mhall119> lol
[17:00] <mhall119> Chem2 kicked my butt
[17:00] <mhall119> as did Calc2
[17:01] <mhall119> now I'm just being bored to death by IT Ethics and IT Software Engineering
[17:01] <LaserJock> highvoltage: hey there, I'm having a lazy saturday and thought I'd drop by
[17:02] <LaserJock> mhall119: I have the luck/curse of generally never being bored with any class
[17:03] <LaserJock> it's good for getting a degree out of the way, not so great for trying to focus
[17:03] <mhall119> luck I'd say
[17:03] <LaserJock> even now that I made it through the PhD I find so many other things fascinating
[17:04] <LaserJock> if I could afford it I really would be a career student I think :-)
[17:04] <LaserJock> learning is much more fun than doing ;-)
[17:05] <mhall119> Guyver: learning is fun, doing tedious work and regurgitating lines from a book, not so fun
[17:06] <LaserJock> true
[17:06] <LaserJock> probably a lot depends on the teachers
[17:06] <mhall119> yeah, I have one teacher I really like, and another I really hate
[17:06] <mhall119> the others I'm indifferent to
[17:08] <mhall119> now I have an interesting subject (Singularity), but I have to make a bunch of boring power point slides talking about it
[17:09] <mhall119> best class in the world would be a group of geeks in a room with a whiteboard and an endless supply of coffee
[17:10] <LaserJock> heh
[17:11] <LaserJock> mhall119: so how's Qimo going?
[17:15] <mhall119> very well, released version 2 back in April, planning on version 3 and integrating it with Edubuntu 11.04 at UDS
[17:29] <LaserJock> cool
