[00:24] Someone want to endeavor on a irssi scrip!! [00:24] * Telendrith looks around with puppy eyes [02:13] jtatum, zoo? hells yeah [02:18] they have lots of penguins :) [02:19] * jledbetter is more a wolf person m'self ;) [02:19] I don't think they have wolves [02:20] they have a 40 year old grey seal [02:22] How are the enclosures? Good and roomy? [02:23] yeah, no elephants though since they couldn't expand their exhibit to make it healthy [02:23] have to go to oakland to see elephants [02:23] Great :) [02:26] jledbetter is coming up for christmas so i think we'll definitely go to the zoo :) [02:27] oh good! let me know your plans, maybe we all go together (I think I even have a couple free admission passes) [05:33] DreidelPalooza >> http://www.majorleaguedreidel.com/ [05:51] is anyone from the bay area planning on going to the davis lug meeting on the 20th? [05:56] MarkDude, you here? [05:58] Hey phildini [05:58] Ademan, Im going next year [05:59] to answer your question, not-woot are those people on my twitter who are not from the Woot! online shopping channels. [05:59] I really should reorganize things. I haven't been maintaining my twitter, reall. [05:59] *really. [06:00] Ok - so I should not take it as a slight :) ? [06:00] most of my shirts are from woot :) [06:01] not meant to be a slight in the slightest. [06:01] Cool deall [18:35] we are watching the Google announcement at http://www.youtube.com/googlechrome ? [18:42] have work, I'll wait for the articles :) [18:43] What are they announcing? [18:44] about google chrome [18:44] and supposed to release Google OS today as well [18:45] funny they are using Win7 for the broadcast examples of chrome instead of using their new OS :) [19:10] chrome web store looks great. Finally a kindle app that will work on Linux [19:13] coming later today: http://chrome.google.com/webstore [19:13] they are just starting to talk about Chrome OS now [19:18] instant boot, instant setup [19:18] setting up your Google OS took less than 60 seconds. (although he didnt read the google EULA which was proably 3 hours worth!) [19:19] i didnt even see 5 second boot. it was instant [19:21] I was pretty surprised to see how fast the zareason laptop I'm reviewing booted maverick (my desktop is also ubuntu, but I have loads of junk installed that needs to load up) [19:21] "you can uninstall an app on one machine, and instantly it will update your other computers..... and you see when you uninstall it can take like 15-20 seconds" [19:21] so its not instant.. its 15-20 seconds. duh. [19:22] pleia2 - uninstalling clamAV from my computer really speeded up boot time [19:22] I don't care much about boot time on my desktop, I'd just never seen the fast bootup of a pristine install before :) [19:23] was impressive [19:23] * product placement for google wifi on certain airlines * :) [19:26] they just showed offline apps. but sounds like all apps will have to be bought or downloaded from google web store. that would be a shame with so many great linux apps out there [19:28] verizon mentioned now [19:28] 100mb free data every month [19:28] plans start at $9.99 [19:28] no contracts [19:29] this is stupid. i feel like im watching a google wrapped version of an apple showcase [19:29] well, apple showcases are successful [19:29] I am pretty impressed actually [19:29] dropbox is free at 2GB [19:29] no contradict at all - can buy data in chunks and day passes [19:30] I think this is the perfect device for my dad e.g. [19:30] 100mb a month is NOTHING [19:30] super simple and secure and always available for connectivity [19:30] a few games and youre paying a monthly fee [19:30] yah, its smart, but.... [19:30] use wifi [19:31] the 100 MB free is just for 3G [19:31] then you can par for day passes etc.. [19:31] verizons wireless broadband prices are ridiculous as is [19:32] true, but not having contracts makes me much more comfortable with [19:32] it [19:32] * iheartubuntu securely stays with ubuntu after seeing this google feed [19:32] Wish my ubuntu netbook had the same deal with verizon. I wouldn't turn down 100 MB free 3G access. [19:33] Why is it an either or? [19:33] 100mb will go quick in a day or two if you are traveling [19:33] heck... in one day [19:33] I still wouldn't turn it down ;) [19:34] Anyway, I think Ubuntu (and linux in general) is going to get a lot better because of Chrome-OS. Since the webapps are available in chrome on Ubuntu (and other browsers for that matter) [19:35] I would say I use my phone to tether to my laptop about 100 MB a month now. I.e. only for emergencies or checking mail at the airport etc... [19:35] when I was in Dublin I had a limit of 50M/day so I actually had to track my usage using the 3g watchdog app [19:36] turns out I *maybe* use 20M/day, I hit 40M the day I went to the zoo and uploaded photos to flickr for twitter [19:37] * iheartubuntu checks his old wired western electric 500 phone and wonders what a cellphone is [19:38] * pleia2 hasn't had a land line since 2005 [19:40] interesting showing excel running as an app [19:40] in "citrix reveiver" [19:45] rolling OS updates, no need to download and install all new OS versions [19:46] google working with acer and samsung to make various devices [19:46] all current ubuntu users get free Google OS computers [19:46] (just kidding) [19:48] talking about CR-48 google computer right now [19:48] i wonder if they will be selling this? [19:49] no hard drive [19:49] NO CAPSLOCK KEY [19:57] you can apply for the google os pilot program and if selected receive a computer to test out... http://www.google.com/chromeos/ [19:57] apparently no ISO yet [20:04] looks like the google OS presentation is almost done. this has been nice filler while waiting for Julian Assange to release his secret password :) [20:04] lol [20:04] Q & A now for google [20:08] odd tidbit: the entire google panel at the q&a are wearing jeans. i wonder if they are in house google jeans? maybe downloadable. [20:08] sounds like verizon is the only carrier? i missed it [20:28] Amazons new way to shop... http://www.windowshop.com/ [20:35] google webstore is now ONLINE... https://chrome.google.com/webstore [21:40] YokoZar, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Bacon [21:40] Jono is no longer listed on the portal [21:41] Yeah someone "fixed" my edit of his page too [21:41] * MarkDude is helping create the Severed Fifth page now [21:42] * MarkDude did not mess with it. I was hoping to show jono tho [21:42] I can show him the revert [23:20] Star Wars in the terminal? type that in and watch telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl [23:21] telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl [23:21] I didn't know there were people on the internet who didn't know about that [23:22] Um, you know I have made career of NOT using the command line? [23:22] hehe [23:22] the friend I got Blinker (my car in PA) from wrote part of the interface <3 [23:22] * MarkDude is a recruiter [23:22] of FOSS, and new users- tht usually means avoiding CLI [23:23] (Mike Edwards in the intro credits) [23:23] Hell, I was amazed at the talking cow [23:23] * MarkDude amuses easily [23:23] Hmm, small world
