thafreakwhen your brain is un-melted...ping me ...01:38
paultagthafreak: go for it01:39
thafreakoh no, the thing for the back of your mind...is to ping me when your brain unmelts01:40
canthus13bah. I've gotta find another job. I'm seriously burning out. I see old people and want to whack 'em with a baseball bat when I drive by.01:41
paultagthafreak: oh, kk01:42
Cheri703anyone seen dmcglone lately?01:47
Cheri703I have a question for him01:47
canthus13not since last night.01:51
Cheri703ok01:51
Cheri703I have a friend who needs web-design01:51
Unit193Cheri703: Did you ever figure out screen? (if you don't like/want to try irssi try finch!)04:12
Cheri703I hadn't messed with it yet04:12
Cheri703I had a sudden onset sinus infection...I've been feeling crappy all day04:13
Cheri703but I will check that out04:13
Unit193It's only from getdeb (repo) it's from the people that make pidgin04:13
Cheri703interesting, i'm curious04:13
Unit193Doesn't seem to work very well in screen.... hope you feel better soon....04:15
Cheri703thanks04:15
canthus13finch is ok, but the windows keep rearranging whenever reattach.04:15
Unit193canthus13: Do you just get a bunch of funny looking As?04:16
canthus13No.04:30
canthus13set your encoding to UTF-804:30
canthus13And use the system fixed width font, if you've changed it.04:31
gilchanyone around?04:32
Unit193gilch: Nope04:36
canthus13gilch: I'm getting kinda round... I need exercise.04:36
Unit193canthus13: It's only in screen that it does it (with -U)04:37
gilchdo either of you know anything about transfering gpg keys to a fresh install?04:38
canthus13Hmm. Odd. Doesn't do it to me.04:39
canthus13No. paultag might, tho.04:39
Unit193canthus13: It's a PuTTY error (http://jacob.davida.com/wp/?p=168 if you even care)05:04
canthus13Unit193: Oh. putty. That's different. :)05:33
canthus13Unit193: YOu can fix it in terminal > whatever. There's a setting to make it permanent.  I can post it in here tomorrow when I'm at work. I had the same issue 'til I fixed it.05:35
Unit193Yeah... I had used it on Win, figured it would be less back and forth errors....05:35
Cheri703canthus13: the thing with irssi that I was not wanting to tackle was the whole configuration process05:35
canthus13Unit193: From linux, just ssh from the command line. it's easier than PuTTY.05:36
canthus13Cheri703: There's really not much configuration.05:36
canthus13Cheri703: At least, not for vanilla irssi. There's a lot of customization that you can do, tough.05:36
canthus13s/tough/though/05:36
Cheri703I dunno, it seemed overwhelming when I first looked at it. may have been having a weird blood sugar day though, that makes LOTS of things feel overwhelming :/05:37
Cheri703might give it another look05:37
canthus13Cheri703: It is a bit intimidating at first, but I got over that quick.05:37
Unit193canthus13: I'll just have to figure out what commands I use in putty05:37
* Cheri703 likes the guis05:37
Unit193I may have another look at irssi (can you have the users in chat on the side?)05:38
canthus13yep05:38
Unit193finch I don't think can... I will really take another look...05:39
Cheri703canthus13: if I create a configuration file on my netbook, can I just copy it to my desktop and it'll all be happy and cooperative?05:43
Cheri703*for irssi05:43
canthus13Yep05:43
Cheri703ok, cool. didn't want to play with it and then have to do it all over05:44
canthus13There's nothing machine-specific. Maybe screen dimension stuff a little.. Like you may want a larger highlight window at the top on your desktop, but nothing huge, and nothing absolutely necessary.05:44
canthus13of course, if you keep it running on your desktop you can ssh into it from your netbook.05:45
Cheri703yeah05:45
canthus13that's all I ever do, so my config is housed on my server.05:45
Cheri703yeah, that's what I'm thinking I'd eventually want to do, but play with it on netbook to get the hang of it05:46
Cheri703maybe05:46
* canthus13 wonders why his server is only seeing ~910 MB of 1 gig. it doesn't have built-in video, so nothing reserved for that...05:48
Cheri703did you get that all worked out canthus13? didn't you say that one of your servers bit it the other night?05:48
canthus13two of them, actually.  Replaced the motherboard on Bob, got him all squared away, then Titan quit seeing the network and decided the drive was corrupt... then quit booting altogether, so I had to replace his motherboard, too.05:51
Cheri703ah, good times!05:51
Cheri703I'm going to need to do some upgrading on mine soon05:52
Cheri703trying to put it off as long as possible05:52
canthus13Yeah. Titan now has double the memory, but isn't seeing all of it for some reason. I'm thinking it's someting in BIOS... shadowing, maybe.05:52
Cheri703:/ maybe05:52
Cheri703_irssiok, so I have irssi running05:52
Cheri703_irssiand..I dunno if I like it05:52
Cheri703_irssiI need to poke at it some more05:53
canthus13Actually, that would explain it. he's got an old 128MB geforce MX4000 for video...05:53
canthus13there are all sorts of plugins to play with.05:53
Cheri703_irssiI think I installed irssi-scripts05:53
canthus13http://irssi.org/documentation/tips05:53
Cheri703_irssiI should clarify: I DON'T like it in its default form :( I will have to customize some things for it to be usable for me05:53
canthus13http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssi05:54
canthus13Yeah. it's kinda plain in the default form. I didn't change a whole lot... Just added the highlight window.  You can add a name list fairly easily, change the colors.. there are lots of themes available.05:54
Cheri703_irssi:( so much of the stuff on the tips page is gibberish. I mean, I could get if I took the time, but... :/05:55
canthus13Heh.  The second one Is much easier to understand.05:55
Cheri703I dunno about all of that05:56
Cheri703we'll see. not for a "hopped up on cold medicine/out of it from sinus pressure" evening05:56
canthus13one thing about screen, though:  flow control is annoying.  If you hit control+s accidentally (And you will, since control-a is the command sequence), use control+q to resume.05:57
canthus13It'll seem like it just locked up completely when you hit control+s.05:57
canthus13dmcglone: Hey... just the man Cheri703 was looking for.06:01
Cheri703hey dmcglone !06:01
dmcgloneHi guys06:01
Cheri703I'm going to pm you, k?06:01
dmcgloneok06:01
=== Unit1932 is now known as Unit193
Unit193Does Ubuntu come with Audacity?19:04
Unit193(The normal version, I know L/Kubuntu don't)19:05
deejoehttp://packages.ubuntu.com/audacity19:10
deejoeUnit193: ^^^^19:10
Unit193deejoe: thanks, that answers one of my other questions (beta), is it installed by default (I would guess not)19:13
thafreakzeromq is so awesome19:13
deejoeUnit193: what's the import of whether it is default or not?  You trying to do something with a networkless system, or the liveCD?19:14
Unit193deejoe: LiveCD (comp only has network if it's moved)19:16
deejoeah19:17
Unit193Win env with Win people (going to use Linux for the next few weeks :D ) and if I really have to put Win back on, I want a Linux backup (Win will fail when you need it the most)19:21
deejoeheh19:25
* canthus13 yawns.20:16
canthus13Unit193: Stick missing debs on a thumb drive, install individually as needed.20:21
Unit1931canthus13: That might work...20:38
canthus13Or make a persistent environment on a thumb drive. (4 gigs should be enough for backup use)20:41
* canthus13 uses a persistent knoppix install on his MP3 player.20:42
Unit1931Hello Cheri70320:44
Cheri703hola20:44
Unit1931Cheri703: Having fun with irssi?21:00
Cheri703didn't do much with it, brain was too frazzled last night21:01
Cheri703might poke at it today21:01
dmcgloneHi everyone22:12
Cheri703hey dmcglone22:15
Unit1931Hey dmcglone22:15
Cheri703I talked to my friend, he's going to contact you tomorrow :)22:16
dmcgloneCool22:16
dmcgloneI got in a huge debate last night over Assange22:17
dmcgloneI hate getting baited into crap like that22:18
Cheri703:/22:19
dmcgloneI did nothing but ask questions and I get yelled at... LOL22:19
dmcgloneI just shrugged it off as usual22:20
dmcglonehaha22:20
