[00:38] <h00k> douglasawh-work: oh, oh, I am having a good experience with virtualbox, dualscreens, seemless mode, and audio devices on Mavericks right now.
[00:51] <h00k> Unity's new hotness http://flic.kr/p/9bUjKf
[01:12] <lostson> i am not that thrilled by the unity desktop i may go to xfce or something else maybe even kde i prefer a more traditional approach
[02:40] <ripps> I personally prefer a pretty minimalistic desktop. Docky + Wingpanel
[02:40] <h00k> Lurrrve unity
[02:40] <h00k> so far.
[02:40] <h00k> (see screenshot)
[02:41] <ripps> I'd like unity if I could get rid of the top panel, I just want the dock
[02:42] <ripps> But of course, unity is pretty much just a souped up docky, becuase the core of unity was written by the creator of docky
[02:42] <ripps> Personally, I just want docky with the unity dash
[02:43] <h00k> Too bad you don't have any customizations you can do with this Linux thing.
[03:39] <mikeputnam> greetings from 10.04.1 on this desktop (omg)
[03:40] <h00k> hello!
[03:40] <h00k> mikeputnam: omg good or omg bad?
[03:40] <mikeputnam> good.  i had F14 on here and it was...  less good than F13
[03:41] <mikeputnam> so flipping back to ubuntu for a cycle    ;0
[03:41] <h00k> Ooooh, I see :)
[03:41] <mikeputnam> i've also been on Windows only hiatus for several months and it just gets boring after a while
[03:42] <mikeputnam> not that i do anything remotely useful on either OS in my downtime, but linux is at least more interesting.
[03:42] <mikeputnam> install random apps, try them out, no virus!  yay!
[03:43] <h00k> It's true. I just got Windows 7 in a VM again, instead of dualbooting. Virtualbox 4, seemless mode, USB passthrough
[03:43] <mikeputnam> i had a quasi-working ubuntu 8.06? or whatever that LTS was
[03:43] <mikeputnam> on my work-lappy
[03:43] <h00k> I get way more done, feel more organized when using Ubuntu rather than Win7
[03:43] <h00k> 8.04
[03:44] <mikeputnam> but the proprietary ide i must live with @ work forced my hand once again
[03:44] <h00k> Hardy Heron
[03:44] <mikeputnam> i've actually not used win7 yet
[03:44] <h00k> That'll do it. I got the Cisco IP Communicator working in the Virtual Machine with USB passthrough to my headset
[03:44] <mikeputnam> other than trying to help someone with a question on Office (which is somewhat laughable now that i said it)
[03:45] <h00k> :D
[03:45] <h00k> I support Microsoft environments, IT stuffs, so I have to be familiar with it :(
[03:45] <mikeputnam> yep.
[03:45] <mikeputnam> bills gots ta be paid.
[03:45] <mikeputnam> beer ain't free
[03:46] <mikeputnam> we're 110% microsoft
[03:46] <mikeputnam> unless you count vmware/and all the oss that we run
[03:47] <h00k> Yeah...
[03:47] <h00k> I'm going to VCP training next week
[03:47] <mikeputnam> active directory, exchange, office, sql server, winxp/7/2005?, etc
[03:47] <mikeputnam> i saw that
[03:48] <h00k> :D
[03:48] <h00k> Yeah, same here, as far as environment
[03:49] <mikeputnam> our dept is off by itself supporting Oracle/Peoplesoft so my microsoft chops have atrophied
[03:49] <mikeputnam> winxp3eva
[03:49] <mikeputnam> ha
[03:49] <mikeputnam> winxp4eva
[03:51]  * mikeputnam kicks off the first "Update Manager" after the new install
[03:51] <mikeputnam> Downloading 31 of 205
[12:52] <lostson> wow its cold outside
[13:33] <spikeb> bit chilly here too
[15:14] <h00k> Holy cold.
[15:14] <h00k> Yeah, -20 here, variable from -19 to -24
