| nuvolari | goeie môre Suid-Afrika | 05:10 |
| * nuvolari sing... | 05:10 | |
| nuvolari | :P | 05:10 |
| nuvolari | g'morning | 05:10 |
| superfly | morning nuvolari | 05:19 |
| corrie206 | morning all | 08:00 |
| nlsthzn | Alo :) | 08:13 |
| nlsthzn | Favour to ask of the more persistant lurkers... started a channel #emirates-loco for some of the guys in the UAE... would love some more people lurking just as a bit of a welcoming party if someone decides to pop in and I am off (which happens a lot)... if some of you don't mind spreading the Ubuntu(ness) | 08:42 |
| Vhata | why "#emirates-loco" ? | 08:43 |
| confluency | #ubuntu-uae? | 08:51 |
| Vhata | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamHowto#Team%20Naming%20Standards | 08:51 |
| Vhata | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamRegions | 08:51 |
| drubin | nlsthzn: ^ Vhata is right :) | 08:52 |
| drubin | also join #ubuntu-locoteams and speak to them they will have more advice then many of us :) | 08:53 |
| nlsthzn | Vhata: This is a temp name as they are not sure they want to go "official" right now... | 08:53 |
| nlsthzn | I am slowly convincing them though ;) | 08:54 |
| Vhata | there is no such thing as a temporary name | 08:54 |
| confluency | Hey, there's a Free State channel. | 08:55 |
| confluency | In theory. | 08:55 |
| nlsthzn | Vhata: Hmmm | 08:55 |
| Vhata | nlsthzn: whatever you name it now will be the name that sticks, no matter how good your intentions to rename in the future are | 08:57 |
| drubin | nlsthzn: It is true names often don't change. | 08:57 |
| Vhata | that's why there are a whole bunch of projects called myproj-new-old-ng-2 | 08:57 |
| drubin | nlsthzn: You can have the name with out being "official" just yet | 08:57 |
| nlsthzn | Vhata, drubin: k, I understand... | 08:58 |
| Vhata | and, yes, you don't need to be "official" (which also doesn't really mean anything) in order to be #ubuntu-uae | 08:58 |
| drubin | Vhata: Technically you need to be ##ubuntu-uae IF you aren't official according to freenode channel naming conventions but I don't think this is an issue if you intent going for official thing later on, | 08:59 |
| drubin | nlsthzn: Thanks again for taking on. Getting the ball rolling is the hardest part as I am sure Vhata will tell you ;-p | 08:59 |
| confluency | Apparently ae is the TLD for UAE. There seems to be a mailing list, but it's a bit dead: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-ae/2007-May/000000.html | 08:59 |
| confluency | https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-ae/ | 09:00 |
| confluency | You could poke it and see if anyone is still listening. | 09:00 |
| nlsthzn | confluency: thanks for the heads up :) | 09:00 |
| confluency | It's run by this dude: http://www.lambaweb.com | 09:02 |
| nlsthzn | Made on a Mac (ewww) ;) | 09:03 |
| Vhata | $ uname -a | 09:06 |
| Vhata | Darwin nitesca.local 10.5.0 Darwin Kernel Version 10.5.0: Fri Nov 5 23:20:39 PDT 2010; root:xnu-1504.9.17~1/RELEASE_I386 i386 | 09:06 |
| nlsthzn | Linux linux-o6sm 2.6.34.7-0.5-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2010-10-25 08:40:12 +0200 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 09:07 |
| nlsthzn | :p | 09:07 |
| confluency | I think he moved from UAE to India. | 09:07 |
| nlsthzn | Vhata: You running a Mac? | 09:08 |
| nlsthzn | confluency: Sent a mail to the list... will see who responds :) | 09:08 |
| Vhata | nlsthzn: yup | 09:08 |
| nlsthzn | Vhata: How you rate it compared to Windows and Linux? | 09:09 |
| Vhata | I like it | 09:09 |
| drubin | hehe | 09:18 |
| drubin | if he didn't like it he would not be running it. | 09:18 |
| nlsthzn | Vhata: Tried it once hackentosh, but with limited hardware support and no additional software I couldn't really decide anything about it | 09:19 |
| nlsthzn | drubin: I hear you (then again many people use Windows and not because they want too) :p | 09:19 |
| Vhata | nlsthzn: so you used linux on unsupported hardware. that doesn't sound like fun. | 09:20 |
| nlsthzn | Vhata: I wouldn't call Mac Linux ;) | 09:21 |
| Vhata | isn't hackintosh linux-on-mac? | 09:24 |
| Vhata | "mac" is hardware. "linux" is software. | 09:24 |
| confluency | No, hackintosh is mac-on-generic-hardware. | 09:24 |
| Vhata | you mean OS X | 09:25 |
| confluency | Yes. | 09:25 |
| Vhata | so nlsthzn used OS X on unsupported hardware, which sounds like even less fun | 09:25 |
| confluency | Hackintoshes are my Dad's hobby. He enjoys sticking it to The Man. ;) | 09:25 |
| nlsthzn | Vhata: Wasn't to bad truth be told, once I disabled my second core I could get it installed and everything worked except wireless... | 09:27 |
| Vhata | my macbook is beautiful hardware, running software which Just Works for everything. I doubt I would run OS X on other hardware | 09:28 |
| nlsthzn | part of the beauty of OSX, software and hardware matched perfectly | 09:30 |
| * superfly used OS X on a Mac for a year and didn't gel with it, so he's back on Kubuntu - the beauty of choice | 09:53 | |
| * nlsthzn thinks superfly has a good point | 09:55 | |
