[00:36] <cyberanger> hey mac9416
[00:45] <mac9416> Hey, cyberanger, wrst! Sorry, I was afk.
[00:45] <mac9416> How're y'all?
[00:46] <wrst> good mac9416 how have things been going for you?
[00:46] <mac9416> Pretty good, even though I just upgraded an offline machine from an alternate CD and screwed it up royally.
[00:47] <mac9416> But this apple cider sure tastes fine.  :-)
[00:47] <mac9416> And a bug I reported two months ago just got some attention.
[00:48] <wrst> well that is good what bug?
[00:49] <mac9416> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/653293
[00:52] <mac9416> bbiab
[00:53] <wrst> oh goodness mac9416 i had noticed that glad you thought to file a bug!
[01:14] <cyberanger> my T-Mobile G2 is awesome, has been rooted for a few weeks, with cyanogenmod installed right after, and now it's sim subsidy lock is removed, woo hoo yes!
[01:15] <wrst> congrats cyberanger, even though i have no clue what you just said
[01:15] <cyberanger> and thanks to connectbot or andchat (I choose connectbot) I'm able to share this news with you all
[01:16]  * cyberanger wishes he had a spare android phone to hand wrst to let him enjoy some city tech in the boondocks
[01:17] <cyberanger> mac9416: so to answer your question in one word, Sweet
[01:17] <cyberanger> wrst: android is linux (very oversimplified) rooting (getting root on an android) isn't as simple as sudo
[01:18] <wrst> i wish you had an android phone to hand me also, i've been on the hunt for one eventually i will get one just because of it being linux open more or less etc etc
[01:18] <cyberanger> and (oh, this one's gonna burn a little) installing cyanogenmod is like going from ubuntu to crunchbang, much faster
[01:20] <cyberanger> the last part isn't as simple to explain, luckily I just switched to my desktop now, so I'm not all thumbs
[01:21] <cyberanger> T-Mobile, AT&T, and many other carriers in other countries (and smaller ones here) use GSM
[01:23] <cyberanger> the phones are all (oversimplified) the same, switching service is as easy as taking a plastic chip that comes with the phone (this is the sim card) and sticking it in the phone
[01:25] <cyberanger> but the two big carriers here (and others too) pay for the phones full price, with a sim lock (T-Mobile uses the term SIM Subsidy lock, there are more than one kind of sim locks, but I've only ever seen a subsidy lock in use)
[01:25] <cyberanger> and you get it cheaper, becuase part of the phone cost is in the phone bill
[01:26] <cyberanger> that lock prevents me from using it with anyone but the carrier I bought the phone from, till it's unlocked, which in my case is today
[01:26] <cyberanger> wrst: make sense?
[01:27] <wrst> ha ha yes
[01:33] <cyberanger> this will be useful some point in 2011 (forget back to the future, I'm heading back to canada. (I hate being a tourist, but I don't mind visiting an intresting place)
[01:33] <cyberanger> )
[01:34] <cyberanger> four phones I own are unlocked now, gotta see about a 5th
[01:35] <wrst> well cyberanger i'm about to see if i can get natty to install again... yesterday was not such a good attempt
[01:55] <cyberanger> wrst: what went wrong
[01:56] <cyberanger> wrst_natty: what went wrong
[01:56] <cyberanger> what went wrong, your CLI usage seems right ;-)
[02:00]  * cyberanger thinks he just came up with something clevar, must try it
[02:01] <wrst_natty> cyberanger: never would boot yesterday
[02:01] <wrst_natty> tried todays daily image and there is unity... sorta but making progress, i think :)
[02:03] <wrst_natty> well i'm signing off cyberanger while this is installing
[02:06] <cyberanger> wrst_natty: maybe using a netisnt would help
[02:07] <cyberanger> and see you later (with weechat I hope, where's quassel ;-))
[03:03] <cyberanger> wb excid3
[03:13] <excid3> hey cyberanger
[03:13] <excid3> irccloud just didn't reconnect to all my channels
[03:15] <cyberanger> all? what ones did it not miss ;-)
[03:20] <cyberanger> excid3: ^ it sounds like a good service, but that sounds like a bad glitch
[21:59]  * wrst yawns
[22:03]  * wrst pokes cyberanger to see if he is still alive
