[00:38] <Cheri703> dmcglone: did you ever wander back after wii'ing?
[00:53] <Unit193> Cheri703: Switching from using Win + FF + thunderbird + OO.o & MSO and some other progys
[00:54] <Cheri703> why would it be different in windows with that software if you're using the same software in linux?
[00:54]  * Cheri703 might be missing the problem here
[00:55] <Unit193> This person has 12000+ emails in the inbox alone
[00:55] <Cheri703> o.O
[00:55] <Unit193> Profiles
[00:56] <Cheri703> if using thunderbird, I'd think a simple export/import would work?
[00:56] <Cheri703> dunno
[00:58] <Unit193> Stuff like this:http://kb.mozillazine.org/Moving_from_Windows_to_Linux
[00:58] <Unit193> And alt apps to use
[00:58] <Cheri703> osalt .com/.org/something is good
[01:00] <Unit193> I have seen/used that... was mostly looking for guides people have used (but I can find them)
[01:00] <Cheri703> ok
[01:31] <Cheri703> I use gmail, so I don't mess with any of that stuff
[01:31] <Unit193> I also use gmail (with IMAP)
[01:32]  * Cheri703 is watching a lame 80's sci fi movie on hulu
[01:33] <Unit193> What one? (might watch SG* soon)
[01:33] <Cheri703> "steel dawn"
[01:33] <Cheri703> hulu is a smorgasbord of horrible movies
[01:40] <canthus13> I thought that was a crappy game.
[01:41] <canthus13> Wait. Patrick swayze was in that one as well as Red Dawn? Heh.
[01:41] <Cheri703> super incredibly lame thus far
[01:42] <canthus13> Water rights seemed to be a rather popular theme for a while. (Solar babies, Tank Girl...)
[01:42] <Cheri703> saw solar babies, also on hulu...
[01:42] <canthus13> Although this sounds more like a rip-off of the mad max plot.
[01:43] <canthus13> I rather liked Solar Babies...
[01:43] <Cheri703> it was...ok
[01:43] <canthus13> Several of the cast went on to do The Lost Boys.
[01:43] <Cheri703> yeah
[01:46] <Cheri703> I have a soft spot for post-apocalyptic movies
[01:46] <Cheri703> even the horrible ones
[01:47] <Unit193> Soft spot for the end of the world....
[01:47] <Cheri703> eh
[01:58] <canthus13> Unit193: Nah. THey went past the end and there was apparently more to go. :)
[02:00]  * Cheri703 gave notice at her job this evening, boss' husband just tried to call twice at 8:49pm. didn't answer
[02:01] <Unit193> Good for you? how did she take it?
[02:01] <Cheri703> dunno, emailed it :)
[02:02] <Cheri703> I'm assuming they're freaking out and pissed
[02:03] <Cheri703> boss' husband is often manipulative, sometimes a bullying jerk, so not answering at night. also told them I would only discuss over email, so really not talking about it
[02:03] <Unit193> Did you find other job options? (that sounds like a good idea)
[02:04] <Cheri703> I have a few peripheral options, nothing solid atm
[02:09] <Cheri703> so yep
[02:09] <Unit193> Did you ever end up looking at the hospital?
[02:10] <Cheri703> not yet, I meant to, been super busy with tons of stuff :/
[02:10] <Unit193> I don't think any are up anymore
[02:10] <Cheri703> ok
[02:20] <Cheri703> there is always a lot of crawling around in dirt in these movies
[02:22] <Unit193> Do you have any use for 800FSB(?) CPUs?
[02:22] <Cheri703> maybe? if you don't want it/them, I can take them off your hands ;)
[02:23] <Unit193> They are not that good 2.8
[02:23] <Cheri703> eh, I'm sure I'll find a use for them eventually. I'd like to (as I acquire parts) put together computers to donate to people/organizations
[02:30] <Cheri703> one of my dogs isn't eating much lately, and I'm trying to get him to eat, so I'm sticking food bits under his lip until he'll chew it up. he's half asleep and just laying there giving me weird looks as I do it...I'm WAY too amused by this
[02:31] <Unit193> P4 2.80/1M/800/04A
[02:31] <Cheri703> ok
[02:32] <Unit193> 4 of those and 1 1.8/256/400/1.75V
[02:33] <Cheri703> dang, where did you get so many?
[02:34] <Unit193> Junk/recycle pile
[02:34] <Cheri703> gotcha
[02:35] <Unit193> I will want to keep 2 (2.8) at most
[02:35] <Cheri703> understandable
[02:36] <Unit193> Any other comp parts that I should take out?
[02:36] <Unit193> (can't HD)
[02:36] <Cheri703> mobos are good, really any of it. how many pc's did you snag?
[02:37] <Unit193> Just parts
[02:37] <Cheri703> ah, ok
[02:37] <Cheri703> well, anything that works can be useful
[02:42] <Unit193> Anything (easy to get to) on a laptop?
[02:42] <Cheri703> ram
[02:42] <Cheri703> hdd
[02:42] <Cheri703> if there are any in it
[02:43] <Cheri703> uhm, the rest of it is pretty well integrated
[02:43] <canthus13> Ram, HDD, PCI-e cards...
[02:43] <Cheri703> cd drives
[02:43] <canthus13> Screens.
[02:43] <Cheri703> cd drives are very handy to have
[02:43] <Cheri703> screens are beyond my replacement abilities atm :)
[02:43] <canthus13> Screens are quite sellable on ebay.
[02:43] <canthus13> Cheri703: Screens are easy.
[02:43] <Cheri703> ok
[02:43] <Unit193> HDDs are killed
[02:43] <canthus13> Especially if you replace the whole lid unit.
[02:44] <canthus13> Just unscrew the hinges, pop loose the cable(s), install new lid.
[02:44] <Unit193> Unless it has the wifi in it
[02:44] <Cheri703> Unit193: wireless cards are easily removed as well
[02:44] <Cheri703> keyboards even
[02:44] <Cheri703> but less useful
[02:44] <Cheri703> *to me
[02:45] <Unit193> wifi in the screen/lid
[02:45] <canthus13> good keyboards are handy. people are always spilling crap on laptop keyboards.
[02:45] <canthus13> Unit193: The wifi card? Nah. it should be on the mobo. the antennae may round up into the lid, though.
[02:46] <Unit193> That's what I was aiming at
[02:46] <canthus13> Antennae are usually installed on other laptops and rarely go bad.
[02:46] <Unit193> Cheri703: do you really have any use for the 1.8 CPU?
[02:46] <Cheri703> maaaaybe
[02:46] <Cheri703> antennae are easy to disconnect from the card
[02:46]  * canthus13 is running a server on an athlon 1700+ and another one on a 2000+.  was running one on a 1.2ghz thunderbird.
[02:47] <Unit193> I could use a complete comp
[02:47] <canthus13> Unit193: Oh.  yeah. the antennae just snap loose from the card, like the little metal clothing snaps.
[02:47] <Cheri703> Unit193: what do you mean?
[02:47] <Cheri703> and for someone who just does email and typing stuff, 1.8 is PLENTY. especially if you can get them running ubuntu
[02:48]  * canthus13 found timerider. :)
[02:48] <Unit193> Not just 6 CPUs, RAM, HDDs, and a comp batt
[02:49] <Cheri703> ah, gotcha. I have 2 cases with OLD mobos in them. if you find a decent mobo, I have a case you can throw it in. I have a few ide cd drives laying around as well
[02:49] <Unit193> I can get a CD/DVD drive... will the P4s work in that?
[02:50] <Cheri703> maybe. it had a 900mhz processor in it before, I'd have to look it up.
[02:50] <Cheri703> ahh patrick swayze looking like a dirty hippie
[02:53] <canthus13> 900? There were no P4s that slow... It's prolly a P3 mobo.
[02:53] <Unit193> Finding a P3 CPU may be harder... but I may be able
[02:53]  * Cheri703 doesn't remember
[02:56] <Unit193> Pentium M?
[02:56] <Cheri703> I'll take a look at some point this week
[02:56] <Cheri703> you already have like 17 computers...am I missing why you need another? :)
[02:56] <Unit193> 17???
[02:56] <Cheri703> I dunno, several
[02:57] <Unit193> Wired, mostly fast ubuntu server (in a way)
[02:58] <Cheri703> gotcha
[02:59] <Unit193> AMD Athlon 2.4G - P4 2.8G - 500MHz - Mac G3 350MHz (can't firgure out how to get ubuntu on)
[02:59] <Cheri703> ?
[02:59] <Unit193> The comps
[03:00] <Cheri703> kk
[03:05] <Unit193> This may be the CPU: http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=27188
[03:28] <canthus13> Unit193: The G3 should be able to handle Debian. Might go for a CLI/Framebuffer-only install.
[03:30] <canthus13> Unit193: Oh.  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=728093
[03:30] <canthus13> there's a whole discussion on Debian Vs Ubuntu for a 350mhz G3.
[03:32] <canthus13> ...and a howto for Debian on a G3.  http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=20481
[03:33] <deejoe> I've had much more luck with the Debian CDs for 5.0 than for 4.0 on G3s
[03:33] <deejoe> as in, getting them to boot and run the installer all the way through
[03:34] <deejoe> had trouble with both Debian and Ubuntu a couple of years ago
[04:00] <Unit193> deejoe: Did you ever get Ubuntu to work?
[04:02] <deejoe> Unit193: I didn't really want to try to run Ubuntu on hardware that old, to be honest.
[04:03] <deejoe> also, Ubuntu dropped powerpc from the normal stuff--it's community supported only.  Which, after all, is what Debian is, too.
[04:14] <dmcglone1> Hiya all
[04:17] <Cheri703> hey dmcglone1
[04:17] <dmcglone1> what ya doing?
[04:18] <Cheri703> watching a crappy movie
[04:18] <Cheri703> you?
[04:19] <Unit193> hello dmcglone1
[04:20] <dmcglone1> sitting here watching forensic files
[04:21] <dmcglone1> hi Unit193
[04:22] <dmcglone1> I bought a hockey game for the Wii and got so frustrated with trying to figure out how to set it up for 2 players, I just gave up
[04:22] <Unit193> Can I come over and play? ;)
[04:22] <dmcglone1> nothing is worth the hassle anymore
[04:23] <Unit193> the Wii that is
[04:23] <dmcglone1> You sure can
[04:23] <dmcglone1> am I still here?
[04:23] <dmcglone1> weird
[04:23] <dmcglone1> I just seen myself leave
[04:23] <dmcglone1> LOL
[04:23] <Unit193> dmcglone left your dmcglone1
[04:24] <dmcglone1> Ah I bet my other computer lost internet connection
[04:25] <dmcglone1> Unit193 you live in columbus?
[04:25] <Unit193> Nope
[04:26] <dmcglone1> mansfield?
[04:26] <Unit193> Around there
[04:27] <dmcglone1> well guess it's about a 3 hour drive to come over and play the Wii
[04:27] <dmcglone1> lol
[04:27] <dmcglone1> I'll see you in the morning
[04:27] <dmcglone1> :-)
[04:28] <Unit193> Good night!
[04:29] <dmcglone1> lol I didn't mean it that way
[04:29] <dmcglone1> I meant that it would take you until morning to get here
[04:29] <Cheri703> tomorrow I have to go to holmes county
[04:29] <dmcglone1> :-)
[04:29] <dmcglone1> business Cheri703?
[04:29] <Cheri703> yeppers
[04:29] <Cheri703> one of my final installs
[04:30] <dmcglone1> you excited? LOL
[04:32] <Unit193> dmcglone1: It would take longer if I walked :D
[04:32] <dmcglone1> I assumed you would be walking... LOL
[04:33] <Unit193> There are really cool things... they are called Cars!
[04:34] <Cheri703> dmcglone1: yes and no. not excited to deal with the crazy bosses :/
[04:34] <dmcglone1> never heard of one. I ride a scooter. I just push my way everywhere
[04:35] <dmcglone1> but from what I hear about the price of gas, I'm glad I have a scooter
[04:35] <dmcglone1> lol
[04:35]  * Cheri703 wants a velomobile
[04:35] <dmcglone1> whats that?
[04:36] <dmcglone1> sounds like something from batman
[04:36] <dmcglone1> batmobile
[04:36] <canthus13> covered in velour.
[04:37] <Cheri703> google it
[04:37] <Cheri703> basically pedal powered car :D
[04:37] <Cheri703> recumbent trike + shell
[04:38] <dmcglone1> oh I see
[04:39] <dmcglone1> that would take forever to get anywhere
[04:39] <dmcglone1> plus no heat or air conditioning
[04:39] <Cheri703> not really, depending on how far you're going. you can pretty easily break 20mph
[04:39]  * Cheri703 wants one
[04:39] <Cheri703> no insurance
[04:39] <Cheri703> no license
[04:39] <Cheri703> no gas cost
[04:40] <Cheri703> very low maintenance costs
[04:40] <Cheri703> inexpensive commuting
[04:42] <dmcglone1> good luck going to holmes county in one of those
[04:42] <dmcglone1> lol
[04:43] <dmcglone1> when you get there you'll have snot frozen to your face
[04:43] <dmcglone1> lol
[04:43] <Cheri703> some of them are completely enclosed
[04:43] <dmcglone1> but still cold
[04:43] <Cheri703> and this would be once I had a "go there and stay there" job. not driving all over the freaking place to clients
[04:43] <Cheri703> nah, your body heats it up pretty darn well
[04:44] <dmcglone1> hope it has a defogger then
[04:44] <Cheri703> some of them. some have windshield wipers too
[04:44] <dmcglone1> now thats cool
[04:46] <dmcglone1> well, I'm gonna get me some sleep
[04:46] <Cheri703> night
[04:46] <dmcglone1> I'll talk to you all later
[04:46] <dmcglone1> night :-)
[05:07] <Unit193> Cheri703: Next U-h still the 30th?
[05:22] <Cheri703> yup
[05:27] <Unit193> Mom is working 2nd that day, my other sis may or may not take me
[05:28] <Cheri703> kk
[05:29] <Cheri703> I'm off to bed. have a good night
[05:30] <Unit193> Bye
[05:32] <canthus13> nite.
[14:39] <thafreak> Good Morning Ohio!
[14:39] <thafreak> So, I'm finally done with school...
[14:39] <thafreak> well...for a while...don't think I'll ever be "done"
[16:56] <thafreak> grrr
[16:57] <thafreak> seems as though I can't actually take the LPIC ubuntu cert exam anywhere
[16:57] <thafreak> stupide pearson vuew
[16:57] <thafreak> stupide pearson vue
[16:57] <thafreak> stupid pearson vue
[16:59] <canthus13> Heh,
[17:02] <_bbb_> except olf
[17:03] <paultag> Woo! OLF!
[17:08] <canthus13> Yayolf.
[17:08]  * canthus13 has plenty of time to study for LPI.
[17:09] <_bbb_> olfu even
[20:56] <BiosElement> Great, just great.
[20:56] <BiosElement> We now have 'net neutrality' that's designed to not be neutral
[20:56] <BiosElement> Isn't that great
[20:57] <BiosElement> So remind me, what's the point of the FCC? And would someone please send them a dictionary?
[20:58] <Unit193> Did you see Ubuntu is going away from X for Wayland?
[20:58] <BiosElement> Yes, so is Fedora and half a dozen other distro's.
[20:58] <BiosElement> But heaven forbid it's the end of the world if ubuntu does it. ;)
[20:59] <Unit193> I don't use the other ones :)
[20:59] <BiosElement> There's tons of FUD around it
[20:59] <BiosElement> Ironically Fedora actually was already leading the charge, but it's more fun to bitch up a storm about ubuntu breaking things before they've even seen them or something >.>
[21:01] <Unit193> Ubuntu is a more visable target
[21:01] <BiosElement> Mainstream media, yes. But fedora's a solid second for linux distro's
[21:04] <Unit193> Do you know how well wayland does remotely?
[21:04] <BiosElement> It doesn't, that's beyond scope.
[21:05] <BiosElement> However there already exists remote clients to make it about as effective as x11 remotely.
[21:05] <Unit193> That is one thing I really like about X
[21:09] <BiosElement> Meh, it's an extra feature that doesn't belong in the stack for 99% of users.
